He Yi sent the deputy marshal to fight. The two fought for no more than three rounds before they were assassinated from their horses.
Cao Cao and his men took advantage of the victory to pursue, and soon rushed to Yangshan to set up camp.
When Huang Shao arrived at the second neighbor, he led his troops to fight. In the center of the formation, there was a man who looked very strange. He was wearing a yellow scarf, a green jacket, and an iron rod in his hand. He shouted: "I am Jie Yaksha He Man. I am invincible, who of you dares to fight me?"
When Cao Hong heard this, he was amused. He rushed over and came out with a knife. The two fought in front of the formation for forty or fifty rounds, but they still couldn't decide the winner. So Cao Hong pretended that he couldn't beat him and his strength was exhausted, so he ran behind, and He Man quickly chased after him. Cao Hong dragged the knife on the ground, turned around and slashed. He Man was hit unexpectedly. After being injured, before he could escape, he was killed by another knife from Cao Hong.
At this time, Li Dian also took advantage of the situation and rode his horse directly into the enemy's camp. Huang Shao had no time to defend himself and was captured alive by Li Dian. Cao Cao's troops further covered up the killing, and the leader of the enemy generals was captured. They were leaderless, so they fled in all directions. In this battle, they captured a lot of gold, silver, and food. He Yi's power became less and less, so he led hundreds of cavalry to They were fleeing in the direction of Gepi. Halfway there, suddenly some troops appeared behind the mountain. The leader was a strong man, eight feet long and with a thick waist. He held a machete in his hand and blocked his way.
He Yi thought some miscellaneous soldiers were blocking the road and went straight to fight. However, in one round, the opponent captured them alive along with their weapons and people.
Seeing the power of the fat man, other people rushed over and were frightened, so they surrendered directly. Others were also driven to Gepiwu Zheng.
At this time, Dian Wei and Cao Bing also chased after him. When he saw this man, his troops were stopped by him. Dian Wei asked, "Are you also a Yellow Turban thief?"
The strong man said: "The Yellow Turban thieves have hundreds of cavalry, but I captured them all and locked them up."
Dian Wei felt that the man who caught the Yellow Turban thief was not an enemy, so he said: "If that's the case, why not sacrifice them."
The strong man said: "You have such a strong tone. Judging from your appearance, you are also a person with strong martial arts skills. Let's do this. If you can win the sword in my hand, I will follow your request and capture all the Yellow Turban thieves." Offer it up.”
Faced with the slight, Dian Wei was very angry when he arrived, and he came out to fight with his halberds. The two fought from noon to night, with neither winning nor losing. When they arrived, they were a little tired, so they agreed to take a rest first. After a while, the strong man came out to challenge Dian Wei again. Naturally, Dian Wei was aroused to be competitive, and the fight didn't end until midnight. The men on both sides were exhausted, so they could only stop temporarily.
Dian Wei knew that he had met a well-matched opponent, so he asked his sergeants to report the situation to Cao Cao.
After hearing this, Cao Cao was excited and happy, and quickly took all the generals to the scene to see. When they arrived at Lin Er, the strong man came out to challenge again. Cao Cao personally saw the contest between this man and Dian Wei. They were almost equal, and he The majestic power made Cao Cao have some desire to recover. He was very happy and ordered Dian Wei to fake defeat if he went to a duel again.
So Dian Wei obeyed this order, and after more than thirty rounds of duel with the strong man, he was defeated and went back. The strong man also rushed to the formation and was shot back by the bows and arrows inside.
Cao Cao also quickly led his troops back five miles, sent people to dig some big holes on the only way, and then used some methods. Second, Dian Wei was ordered to come out with more than a hundred cavalry.
Since Dian Wei failed to escape the previous time, this made the strong man very funny and looked down upon him. He said, "I defeated you yesterday. How dare you challenge me again today?"
So Dian Wei went to challenge the opponent in a one-on-one fight as before. After a few rounds, his flaws were revealed, and then he walked back. The strong man was excited to fight, and he quickly chased after him wherever he could escape, without thinking about it. What should I be careful of? Halfway through the charge, both men and horses fell into a pit dug by Cao Cao's men. They were captured alive by the enemy with a net and tied up to see Cao Cao.
After seeing this, Cao Cao quickly rebuked the sergeant and said: "Why are you so rude?" Then he went to untie him personally, then took some clothes and put them on him, asked him to sit down, asked his name, and some other things. Things to do to express your gratitude.
The strong man was very polite when he saw the other party, but the anger in his heart was not easy to release. He replied: "I am from Qiao County, Qiao State. My surname is Xu, my given name is Chu, and my courtesy name is Zhongkang. Because I encountered a riot by bandits, I gathered several members of the clan. Hundreds of people built fortifications in the dock to resist. When the thieves came, I sent people to get a lot of stones to prepare. I personally used the stones to attack them. No one missed. The thieves were afraid and ran away. Another day, the grain reserves in the dock were gone. I negotiated terms with the bandits and agreed to exchange cultivated land for rice. When the rice was used, the bandits drove the cattle nearby. The cattle were frightened and fled in all directions. They were killed by my hands. I grabbed the cow's tail and walked backwards for more than a hundred steps. Others were very surprised when they saw it, and they didn't dare to attack the cow again, so I made sure that nothing happened in this place."
Cao Cao naturally couldn't judge whether the other party's things were true or false, but it wasn't important. What was important was that the other party could be used by him, which was enough, so he deliberately expressed his admiration and said: "Actually, I heard your name. I've been waiting for a long time, I hope you can help me, I just lack talents like you in my team."
Xu Chu said: "This is also my wish. I hope that my clan members can come together."
So Xu Chu brought a hundred people to surrender. Cao Cao worshiped Xu Chu as the captain and rewarded him very generously. Then he beheaded all the remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves and pacified Runan and Yingchuan.
After Cao Cao's squadron returned, Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun came to see them. They understood the recent situation and said: "The two generals Xue Lan and Li Feng of Yanzhou have been taking their sergeants outside to plunder supplies for a long time. The city is empty. We can take advantage of the victory." The soldiers came to attack and captured Yanzhou in one fell swoop."
Cao Cao also thought this was a very good opportunity, so he led his army straight towards Shangzhou. Xue Lan and Li Feng had no choice but to go out of the city to meet Dan Dan.
It just so happened that Xu Chu felt that he should do something for Cao Cao to gain further recognition, so he took the initiative and said: "I am willing to serve as a pioneer and donate the heads of the two people as a greeting gift."
Cao Cao smiled and ordered him to go to battle.
Li Feng naturally did not know Xu Chu, and the weapon he used was a painted halberd. He relied on his martial arts skills and did not put others in his eyes. He said to Xu Chu: "Where did the bastard come from? It's better to go back obediently, so as not to give it to yourself." life."
Xu Chu didn't even answer. He directly picked up the sword and rushed forward with his horse. After the two met for a few rounds, Li Feng found that he was no match at all and wanted to escape. Unfortunately, the difference in strength was too big. Xu Chu followed up directly with the sword general. He was killed by his horse.
