Chapter 446 Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friends 223…0337~)

Although it was dark at night, there were torches lit on the opposite side.

Lu Bu could vaguely see the two people leading the opposite side.

One is extremely majestic, the other is chivalrous.

Although I have never met them, I can guess that they are definitely two well-known figures.

At this moment, Yan Liang beside Lu Bu suddenly shouted excitedly:
"Lao Wen?!"

Hearing Yan Liang's name, Lu Bu was slightly stunned, then he immediately reacted.

The fierce general on the opposite side is Wen Chou, who is as famous as Yan Liang? !

Yan Liang and Wen Chou have no names in history, which shows that they came from very humble origins.

Even the names Yan Liang and Wen Chou may have been changed later.

At this moment, Yan Liang looked at Wen Chou with a rather complicated expression.

Wen Chou looked at Yan Liang with a flash of surprise in his eyes, but soon his eyes turned cold and he shouted sternly:
"Yan Liang, my Lord... General Yuan has now surrendered to the Duke of Shu. Why don't you return and serve the Duke of Shu as soon as possible? Why are you still living with the traitor?"

Hearing this, Yan Liang showed a hint of displeasure on his face:
“I joined the Duke of Chu’s army so that he could contain Liu Bei’s army.

“And Lord Chu also successfully rescued General Yuan.

"General Yuan didn't even come to greet me at that time.

“I never thought that General Yuan, a man of three generations of high rank, would surrender to a mat weaver and shoe seller!

"How could I betray the great kindness of Duke Chu and return to General Yuan's army to serve a man like Liu Bei?"

After hearing what Yan Liang said, Wen Chou didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Although he did not agree with his lord's surrender to Liu Bei, for some reason, his lord still agreed to Liu Bei's surrender.

Moreover, Liu Bei also appointed his lord as the governor of Qingzhou, in charge of all matters in Qingzhou except military affairs.

It can be considered as giving enough face.

However, the price was that all of these close ministers were forced to leave Yuan Shao and work in various places under Liu Bei.

Wen Chou was lucky enough, perhaps because of his superb bravery, he was sent to intercept Lu Bu this time.

He was quite satisfied that he could lead troops and get encouragement and trust from military advisor Zhuge before coming.

So when he saw the brother he used to work with, he wanted to persuade him to mend his ways.

But what the other party said makes sense.

Yuan Shao would rather care about his youngest son Yuan Mai who suddenly died than care about this general who was forced to stay in Lu Bu's army.

Zhuge Liang sent people to threaten Yuan Shao with Yuan Mai's illness, saying that there was someone in Liu Bei's army who could cure his young son, so Yuan Shao finally decided to surrender.

And the facts also prove that Zhuge Liang was not bragging.

Under the treatment of the great doctor Hua Tuo, young master Yuan’s scabies was cured!

This also made Yuan Shao no longer have any complaints about Liu Bei's arrangements.

To be honest, under the halo of four generations of three officials, they had not yet discovered that their former master could be so foolish and incompetent.

Now that the tree has fallen, the monkeys scatter, and they can finally see clearly how rotten the inside of the tree is.

If it were not for the prestige and energy accumulated by the Yuan family over several generations, how could Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu be pushed to heights that did not belong to them?
Take Yuan Shu for example. If he did not have an extraordinary background, with his stupid brain, he would not have survived for many years in such a chaotic world.

Although Yuan Shao was much stronger than Yuan Shu, his character flaws became more and more apparent as he grew older.

In particular, he was unable to control his advisers, and was often played around by them, while he himself was unable to make the right decisions.

That's why he was defeated repeatedly in battles with Liu Bei's army...For a moment, Wen Chou had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Xu Shu, who was standing by, saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, so he spoke to Lu Bu on his behalf:
"Lü Fengxian, our army has already laid a tight net in Langya State. You can't escape even if you have wings!

"Why don't you dismount and surrender? My lord may spare your life and make you an important figure in your military prowess, considering your bravery the best in the world!"

Lu Bu looked at this chivalrous yet bookish man and asked thoughtfully:

"Are you...Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi?"

Xu Shu wiped the blade in his hand and replied in a deep voice:

"I never thought that you knew my humble name, Xu Shu. I am truly flattered.

"Then I wonder if you would dismount and surrender for Xu Shu's sake?"

Lu Bu raised his head and laughed:

"What I hate most is talking unrealistic nonsense with you literati.

"Why bother talking so much? If you have the ability, come and take my head yourself!"

Seeing that Lu Bu challenged him to a duel, Xu Shu's expression changed slightly.

Although he considered himself to have some martial arts skills, he often wielded guns and sticks and called himself a knight in his early years.

However, he would not dare to duel with Lu Bu, the most powerful general of the time, even if he had a hundred times the courage.

However, Xu Shu naturally could not lose his momentum at this moment, and said with a hearty smile:

"You are the most powerful general in the world, who dares to challenge you in a duel?

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to bully a counselor like me, right?"

Lu Bu sneered:
"If you can't do it, you can ask General Wen Chou beside you to do it.

"I fought with General Yan Liang before, and he was able to hold out for ten rounds against me.

“I wonder how many rounds General Wen Chou, who is as famous as General Yan, can last against me?
"Could it be that he can't even last ten rounds?"

Hearing these sarcastic words, Wen Chou was immediately aroused to win.

Yan Liang's martial arts were comparable to his.

The opponent can only last ten rounds under Lu Bu?
And this Lu Bu actually questioned that Wen Chou couldn't even last ten rounds. How arrogant was he! ?
No matter how powerful Lu Bu is, he is still a human being after all, right?
Could the opponent be so strong that he could kill everything in an instant?
Just as Wen Chou was about to accept the challenge, Xu Shu suddenly stretched out a hand and blocked his way:
“General Wen, don’t fall into the enemy’s provocation.

"If you accidentally die at the hands of the enemy, the morale of our army will be severely damaged!"

When Wen Chou heard that Xu Shu also questioned him, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

However, this time, although he was said to lead the army, Xu Shu was still arranged as the military supervisor.

As a surrendered general who had just joined the army, how could he have the right to lose his temper with the military inspector and disobey his orders?

It’s not the same situation as when he was under Yuan Shao.

Therefore, Wen Chou could only suppress his dissatisfaction and said "hmm" to Xu Shu.

When Lu Bu saw Xu Shu stopping Wen Chou, he thought to himself that he was worthy of being Liu Bei's first top military advisor and was indeed extremely intelligent.

He could see his intention at a glance.

But at this moment, the other party was neither in a hurry nor planning to take the initiative to attack. Instead, he seemed to be waiting for something.

At this moment, Xu Shu's unintentional glance towards the west immediately made Lu Bu alert.

Could it be that, besides Xu Shu and Wen Chou's army, there are other troops? !
If another group of people came, it would be difficult for them to evacuate!
