Han Xiang

Chapter 537: Fight against Niuzhu under the imperial edict

Han Zong couldn't help but be startled when he heard that the person coming was Xu Chu.

In the past, when Han Dang was fighting in Hefei, he was hit by Xu Chu with a flying stone. He returned to Jiangdong to recuperate for several months before recovering.

From then on, the name Xu Chu became taboo among Han Dang's army.

He can hurt people with flying rocks and can even fight with Sun Ce. No one doubts his bravery.

However, Han Zong was a newborn and had only fought a few mountain crossings with his father and had not participated in foreign wars, so he had no idea about Xu Chuzhiyong.

I just feel that his father is skilled in bow and horse and has a high status in Jiangdong Army.

Han Zong believed that Xu Chu could become famous largely because he stepped on Han Dang's shoulders, so he hated him deeply.

The accompanying general Pi recognized Xu Chu and knew how powerful Xu Chu was, so he swallowed his saliva and whispered:

"Young General, Xu Chu is so brave and brave. We'd better go back to the camp and hold on, and then send someone to ask the old general for help."

"Hold on? How many people are there without looking at them?"

After Han Zong finished speaking, he looked disdainful: "There are only two or three hundred people. Am I still afraid of him? Moreover, they are all cavalry. They must have some conspiracy across the river. If we turn a deaf ear and allow them to cause chaos in Danyang, my father will definitely blame me for dereliction of duty."

"Young General, don't be careless. Xu Chu is really powerful."

After reminding General Pi, he added: "Last time, my lord led an army of [-] to attack Hefei, and the Tiger Guards led by Xu Chu charged forward. The soldiers of each battalion were unable to resist, and even the governor couldn't even mention it."

"Okay, don't make others more popular."

Han Zong interrupted the advice and replied in a deep voice: "What does the defeat of Hefei have to do with Xu Chu? It was clearly Zhang Liao's fault, and if Xu Chu is really that powerful, I will keep him today."

"what?"

"I'll stabilize him here. You go back to the Niuzhu camp quickly and bring the remaining soldiers and horses. I, Han Zong, want to avenge my father's shame!"

"only"

General Pi saw that Han Zong was determined to go his own way, and thought that what the other party said was reasonable. If Xu Chu was allowed to leave at will with three hundred cavalry, it might cause a lot of trouble. Han Dang knew that he would definitely hold him accountable, so he rushed back in a hurry.

While Han Zong was whispering to his men, Xu Chu was not in a hurry to launch an attack. He wanted to buy time for the Tiger Guards to form their armor formation.

After a while, Han Zong led his horse forward and looked at Xu Chu without saying anything.

Xu Chu smiled leisurely and joked: "After discussing for a long time, I didn't run away. I can't see that I still have some courage. Nai Gong is very pleased."

"Bastard!"

Han Zong wanted to keep calm at first, but when he heard Xu Chu's taunt again, he suppressed his displeasure and shouted: "General, I need your judgment? Since you call yourself Xu Chu and don't honestly stay in Hefei for the winter, what do you mean by coming to Jiangdong?"

"What's the matter?"

Xu Chu stroked his beard and replied meaningfully: "Sun Quan can go to Hefei, why can't I come here? Nai Gong is not afraid to tell you that we are here to seize Jiangdong."

"What? Seize Jiangdong."

Han Zong was originally very angry, but then he was laughed at by Xu Chu's answer. He pointed at the soldiers behind him and sneered: "With these Xu soldiers and horses? Why don't you boast about going to defeat Xu Du?"

Before Xu Chu had time to answer, Zhao Fan followed along with Long Xiang.

The Tiger Guards crossing the river had completed their preparations at this time. Long Xiang was not the pedantic Song Xianggong in the Spring and Autumn Period, so there was no need to wait for Niuzhu's enemy troops to arrive.

Long Xiang accepted Han Zong's words and replied with a playful look on his face: "Xu Du? We will go, and we will go after taking Jiangdong."

"Huh? Who are you? Dare to speak nonsense here?"

Han Zong looked at the person in front of him in surprise, thinking he looked about the same age as me, but why did he sound louder than his own master?
As soon as he finished speaking, he was ruthlessly mocked by Zhao Fan:

"Open your eyes and see clearly. This is General Polu who was newly appointed by the imperial court. Sun Quan went against the grain in Jiangdong, and General Long was ordered to attack him."

"what?"

Han Zong's eyes widened in shock, thinking that Xu Chu had spoken rudely before, so why did this guy come in person?

A few days ago, there were rumors in Jiangdong that Long Xiang was appointed as General Polu because the imperial court deliberately insulted Sun Quan.It means that Sun Quan and Long Xiang are like a son and his father.

Long Xiang ignored Han Zong's astonishment and simply asked: "I have been ordered to punish evildoers. Will you fight or surrender?"

"Surrender? How is that possible?"

Before Han Zong finished speaking, Long Xiang said calmly: "Zhongkang, you can start."

"only."

Xu Chu respectfully responded with clasped fists, then raised the Fire Cloud Sword and pointed it in the direction of Han Zong, shouting loudly: "My sons, follow me to destroy the enemy."

"Kill them all."

"kill!"

The thunderous shouts resounded across the river. Han Zong did not expect Long Xiang to act so decisively. He quickly ordered the soldiers around him to fight, and from time to time he observed the rear reinforcements.

The defenders of Niuzhu camp have been sent out in full force, but they are still one mile away from Han Zong.

Han Zong originally thought of fighting while waiting, but the strength of the Tiger Guards was beyond imagination. Three hundred Tiger Guards sat astride their horses and charged like an overwhelming mountain.

After just one sprint, Han Zong's formation fell apart.

The Tiger Guards took advantage of the movement of their war horses to cut the rebel army into several small military formations, and then focused on eliminating the lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Before the follow-up defenders arrived, Han Zong was captured alive by Xu Chu in the chaos.

A battalion of defenders will die and surrender.

The important territory of Niuzhu in Jiangdong was easily captured by Long Xiang.

Zhao Fan then became familiar with the road and led Long Xiang to settle in Niuzhu camp. The layout was similar to Liu Yaoshi's, which made Zhao Fan suddenly realize what he had done yesterday.

When Long Xiang went to the main tent of the camp to rest, Xu Chu took Han Zong away like a chicken.

At this time, Han Zong was so scared that he finally knew why his father was injured.

It was as easy for Xu Chu to capture himself as it was to capture his son, and the three hundred tiger guards were invincible, and one battalion of defenders was simply not enough.

"Han Zong, weren't you quite arrogant just now? Why are you silent now?"

Upon hearing Long Xiang's question, Han Zong, who had been paralyzed on the ground, immediately straightened up and saluted:
"I don't know the power of General Tianwei, so I offended you just now. Please forgive me for being young and ignorant, General Long, and spare my life."

"Ha ha."

Long Xiang was noncommittal, smiled and changed the subject and asked, "Just now you mocked me for seizing Jiangdong. How did you feel about the battle just now?"

"I didn't know the power of the general before, but in the end he hit the stone with an egg, and he was defeated. Jiangdong was won."

In order to survive, Han Zong could only follow Long Xiang's words, but he still felt that seizing Jiangdong was out of the blue.

It was not until Long Xiang's next words that he was completely convinced.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that there were only 300 people participating in the battle just now, and I have [-] soldiers and horses crossing the river. Are you afraid that Jiangdong can't conquer it?"

"hiss"

Han Zong took a breath and thought that if 2 people were so powerful, even a hundred thousand soldiers from Jiangdong could not stop him. No wonder the Lord would be defeated in Hefei and return.

Wait, wasn't it Zhang Liao who defeated the lord?

Is there another secret?
While Han Zong was deep in thought, Long Xiang spoke again: "I have always made clear rewards and punishments. You were rude and rude before the war. You should have been beheaded on the spot. But after considering that it was Han Yigong, I will give you a chance now to use it for me." If you do your job well, I will not only save your life but also reward you, if not."

"General, the general is willing."

Han Zong just wanted to survive at this moment. He accepted whatever Long Xiang said and even recommended himself: "If General Long wants to attack Shicheng, I will be willing to persuade the front troops to surrender."

"What does Shicheng mean? I said long ago that I wanted to take Jiangdong. Now I give you two choices, either go to Wanling to persuade your father to surrender, or take me to take Wu County."
