Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 103 The Four Clans of Wu County! (Thanks to Jingbao for sending me two more monthly tickets~Xie Xie~)
That night.

Xu Zhao quietly opened the north gate and lowered the drawbridge.

He led three thousand soldiers around to the south and quickly attacked the camp guarded by Chen Wu!

After breaking down the camp gate, Xu Zhao took the lead and rushed in with the army.

I saw candles flickering in the tent and soldiers wandering around.

Without saying a word, Xu Zhao rushed into the tent and slashed at the figure inside with his knife.

However, the familiar sound of chopping meat did not come from the blade, but instead a light and strange touch.

Xu Zhao's face changed slightly, and he quickly looked closely!
The one that was chopped down was not a soldier, but a scarecrow!

A feeling of uneasiness quickly welled up in my heart.

At this moment, cannon shots suddenly rang out from the other three sides of the camp!

Countless enemy soldiers rushed in from outside the camp and quickly attacked the panicked Xu Zhao soldiers!
Only then did Xu Zhao realize that he had fallen into a trap.

The enemy actually expected them to raid the camp!
Xu Zhao rushed out of the tent and saw a fierce general with a seven-foot-tall body, a yellow face and red eyes, riding a horse and charging among his own soldiers!

While killing, he shouted provocatively:

"As my lord expected, if you don't give chase, you will definitely come to raid our camp!
"Your tricks have been seen through, why don't you surrender quickly!"

Xu Zhao was shocked.

Did Lu Bu actually have a backup plan?

How could a military commander be so thoughtful?
Is he really just a military commander?

Seeing his own soldiers being quickly slaughtered, Xu Zhao knew that he could not get any benefits, so he immediately mounted his horse and shouted:

"Retreat! Get out quickly and return to the city!"

Hearing his shout, Chen Wu immediately realized that this man was the enemy's main general.

He immediately turned his horse around and rushed towards Xu Zhao in the night and the strong wind!

Seeing the enemy coming at him with such force, Xu Zhao felt frightened and quickly turned his horse around and fled.

However, many of his own soldiers blocked his way, making it impossible for Xu Zhao to speed up.

Chen Wu, who was behind, approached quickly and chopped towards the back of Xu Zhao's head with the big knife in his hand!

Hearing the whistling sound of wind behind his head, Xu Zhao suddenly leaned down and pressed his face into the horse's mane, narrowly avoiding the knife.

Chen Wu chopped at nothing with his sword, then immediately pressed down the handle of the sword and continued to chop at Xu Zhao's back.

Xu Zhao had come to his senses, and had already raised the iron spear in his hand from behind!

With a golden sound, the blade and the gun body collided violently.

But the next moment, Chen Wu used a little skill and the blade slashed to the side of the gun, instantly cutting off several of Xu Zhao's fingers holding the gun!
"what--"

Xu Zhao howled in pain.

The severe pain brought about a burst of power, which pushed Chen Wu's sword back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Zhao ignored his own soldiers blocking in front of him and rode his horse madly forward!
Countless soldiers died tragically under his horse's hooves.

Chen Wu wanted to chase after them, but was blocked by enemy soldiers and was forced to stay and kill the enemy.

In this way, Xu Zhao came in with three thousand people, but escaped with only more than a thousand people, retreating towards the county town in a panic.

When they arrived at the city gate, Xu Zhao shouted:

"Open the city gate! The enemy is catching up! Open the city gate!"

However, after shouting for a long time, there was no sign of the city gate opening.

Xu Zhao suddenly realized something and yelled at the tower:

"Gu Yuantan! You actually betrayed me and Governor Xu! You disloyal and treacherous bastard!"

Hearing the scolding, Gu Yong poked his head out from the city wall and responded calmly:

"I have always been loyal to the imperial court, not Xu Gong, so how can I say I have betrayed you?
“Since you have been defeated, there is no need to enter the city again.

"This city has the surname Lu!"

Xu Zhao wanted to curse a few more times, but the pursuers were already approaching from behind.

In desperation, he could only utter a harsh word and flee towards the east with his remaining soldiers.

Soon, Chen Wu led his army to the city of Wu County. He originally did not intend to chase them, after all, the enemy had already fled to the city, and chasing them would be tantamount to attacking the city.

But he saw that Xu Zhao did not enter the city, but fled to the east.

This made Chen Wu vaguely realize something, and he immediately came to the city and asked:

"I am General Chen Wu under Marquis Wen. May I ask who is guarding the city?"

Gu Yong on the tower immediately responded:

"I am Gu Yong, the magistrate of Qu'a County. I am willing to open the city and surrender to Marquis Wen!"

Chen Wu was overjoyed and immediately clasped his fists in gratitude:

"You are a man of insight! When Marquis Wen comes back, I will explain your achievements to him!"

Gu Yong cupped his hands:

"Thank you. I'll let you into the city now."

……

the other side.

Lü Bu, who had been waiting for a long time on the Green Island in the north of Wu County, had not seen Xu Zhao's pursuers coming, and his brows were already furrowed:

"I didn't expect that Xu Zhao had a master under his command who could see through our army's intentions!"

But if you don’t want to chase him, then don’t chase him. If this expert is smart enough, he will probably choose to attack the camp at night.

But that would be exactly what they want!

Just as Lu Bu was reorganizing his ambush and preparing to head to Lougang, a messenger rode a fast horse and rushed towards them quickly.

As soon as the messenger dismounted, he clasped his fists towards Lu Bu:

"My lord, the enemy attacked our camp at midnight yesterday and was badly defeated by General Chen Wu!

"The enemy commander Xu Zhao led the remaining troops and wanted to return to Wu County, but was rejected by the county magistrate Gu Yong.

"Xu Zhao therefore had no choice but to lead the remaining troops to flee to Kuaiji.

"Gu Yong then accepted General Chen Wu into the city. Now Wu County belongs to us!"

After listening to the messenger's report, Lu Bu was already dumbfounded:
"Gu Yong? Is that the Gu Yong from the Gu family, one of the four great families in Wu County?"

"Exactly."

After receiving a positive answer, the surprise on Lu Bu's face had already turned into joy!

The four major families of Wu County: Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang.

There is no need to say much about the Zhu family where Zhu Zhi and Zhu Huan belong.

Now most of them have moved to Danyang and have become the largest aristocratic family in Danyang County.

The remaining are the Gu family, the Lu family and the Zhang family.

The most famous among them is Lu Xun from the Lu family.

The most famous person in the Gu family is undoubtedly Gu Yong, Gu Yuantan.

Historically, he served as prime minister of Eastern Wu for as long as nineteen years!
Unexpectedly, the other party would take the initiative to accept Chen Wu into the city, which is equivalent to the Gu family accepting him, Lu Bu!

The four major families are led by the Gu family, and the Zhu family has Zhu Huan who has joined them. The remaining Lu family and the Zhang family are easy to win over.

It’s a pity that Lu Xun is only ten years old now, younger than Zhuge Liang, so he cannot be used for the time being.

However, if you establish good connections from childhood, you can be directly entrusted with important tasks when you grow up!

Both Lu Xun and his son Lu Kang were rare top talents in the late Three Kingdoms period!
As for the Zhang family, it is slightly inferior to the other three families.

Although they were descendants of Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, there were no particularly famous talents during this period.

But there are too many people with the surname Zhang.

In terms of family population, the Zhang family is definitely the largest among the four families!

It is also a big family worth winning over.

Now that Wu County has been taken, he has no worries and can go directly to Lougang to help Gan Ning!
