Chapter 298: Prepare to fight the Youzhou Cavalry
When General Xu Chu was having a banquet with Liu Qi, he told them exactly what he heard.
Of course, with Xu Chu's current level of ability, he could only tell a general story. The content of Liu Qi's conversation also involved the Xun family in Yingchuan. Xu Chu usually did not pay attention to the court affairs and the people in the gentry, so he was not interested in the eight issues in the Xun family.
He didn't know that clearly about the Dragon Branch, and what he said at the moment was hesitant and ambiguous. He even got several names of the Xun clan members wrong.
But although it was not very clear, as time went by, Xu Yi and Xu Dan still understood the general meaning. After all, they didn't know Xun very well, but they could still understand the main meaning to some extent.
"Second brother also wants to imitate the Xun family and let the children of my clan... not join the officialdom in the same power?"
Xu Chu burped and said: "A certain family just woke up after listening to Liu Boyu's words today. I thought carefully about my brother's original idea. It was actually a pedantic and stubborn view. I always wanted to bring the entire clan's power to surrender to one person.
Under his command, and this person should preferably be a member of our Qiao County family, or a local official who leads Yuzhou... Alas, now that I think about it, this road is really narrow."
Xu Dan said sternly: "It is reasonable for my brother to have such an idea, so why should he taint himself? Which of the clans in these states and counties was not conquered at the place where their own property was founded? But it is understandable."
Xu Chu narrowed his eyes and sighed: "It's just that the current situation is very different from the original one. The king of the Han Dynasty is young, and heroes from all over the country are coming together. The trend of the entire Han Dynasty is really unclear. If we take our entire clan
If you serve one person with all your strength, if you fail, the entire clan may be affected... several generations of family business may be destroyed overnight."
Xu Yi seemed to understand what Xu Chuzhi said.
At that moment, I saw him saying tentatively: "Brother, what do you mean, do you want our Xu family brothers to follow the example of the Yingchuan Xun family and not serve under the same master?"
Xu Chu nodded and said: "I have this intention as a brother. In the past, the Xun family in Yingyin had people who served their relatives and clan members and stayed in seclusion. They each worked for an invincible position.
, Although our Xu family's Wubao is not as famous as the Xun family, we should still have more plans to remain invincible in this troubled world."
Xu Dan said: "Brother, how do you plan to distribute them?"
Xu Chu thought for a while and said, "Can you two brothers be trusted as brothers?"
Xu Dan said loudly: "Brother, what are you talking about? Since the death of my eldest brother, we see that the Xu family in the county has achieved the momentum it has today thanks to my brother's bravery and appeal. Brother treats us with kindness. If it weren't for
How can brothers be as prosperous as they are today without the kindness of my elder brother?"
Xu Yi also said: "Yes, if you need anything, second brother, just tell us!"
Xu Chu said with emotion: "You are my brother! Then I won't hide him!"
Then I heard Xu Chuyan say: "As the head of a clan, a certain person must protect the whole clan. When he becomes an official in the future, he will naturally choose a hero from Yuzhou to support him. But in order to ensure the stability of the clan, I would like to invite two
Dear brother, choose another British leader to assist you, so that even if one party loses power, our Xu family can be protected from the disaster of being broken down in the future."
After a pause, Xu Chu continued: "It's just that if I act like this, I'm afraid I'll make the two brothers suspicious, and I'm afraid someone will try to seize your land and property in the clan."
Xu Dan waved his hands vigorously and said angrily: "How did you say this? What kind of person my brother is, the two brothers know best. With my brother's prestige and power in the clan, if he wants to take away my two brothers,
Even if the two of us don't leave Qiao County, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop people's land and property."
Xu Yi solemnly said: "Brother, how do you want us to act? Just tell me what you want me to do! Don't say anything anymore."
It is not uncommon for brothers in large clans to fight against each other in order to gain power within the clan. It is not an exaggeration to say that brothers kill each other. Brothers like Xu Yi and Xu Dan, who have unconditional trust in Xu Chu, look at it.
The powerful people in the various states and counties of Han Dynasty also belong to a minority.
Xu Chu couldn't help but be moved after hearing what his two brothers said.
He sighed deeply and said to the two of them: "I just thought about it, now that the emperor is young, the government is controlled by Dong Zhuo, but there are many counties in the Central Plains who do not respect the court and respect the two Yuan Dynasties, especially Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Liu Chong, etc.
The greater the power of the clan headed by the leader, the more and more unclear the trend of the world is. At this time, I would like to ask two brothers to go to a Liu clan to assist, while a certain person will stay in Huairu land to help.
Observe the situation of the heroes in the north, and after the local situation in Yuzhou is determined, choose a powerful family to support them."
Xu Yi seemed to have realized something and said: "My elder brother is supported by a powerful family, and my two brothers go to join the clan. It is true that 'eggs are not in the same basket'... What should I do if I am just the fifth brother?"
Xu Chu said solemnly: "Youkang is still young and is not suitable for becoming an official. It is better to stay in his ancestral home and help us consolidate the foundation of the rear. The three of us brothers will each vote for the hero. When the situation in the world becomes clear in the future, we will let the younger brother
Become an official."
Xu Yi thought about it seriously for a while and said: "Brother, this is a very good idea. My four brothers are either serving as officials in the clan, serving in the clan, or hiding in the wild to watch the sky. In this way, we, the Xu family in Qiao County,
, it is a situation in which we can advance, attack, retreat and defend.”
Xu Chu said: "Yes, I also have this thought."
Xu Yi touched his stiff beard and asked: "The second brother asked me and the fourth brother to join the Liu clan...but in the current counties and counties, which clan can we join?"
A look of determination appeared on Xu Chu's face: "Isn't this worthy person right in front of you?"
Xu Dan and Xu Yi looked at each other, as if they were suddenly confused: "The person right in front of you...is the person the second brother is talking about a member of the Liu family in Shanyang?"
Xu Chu said: "Among the Liu clan alliance, the most prosperous ones in the world are one king and three pastors. Liu Yan is already a rebellious thief. He is currently being attacked by everyone and can be eliminated. Liu Yu is well-known, but how can he be far away in Youyou?"
In the state, Liu Chong has a distinguished status and is the king of Chen. He has many elite soldiers and powerful crossbows under his command. Looking at the world, there are few who can compare with him, but he is too old..."

"So, the Liu family of Shanyang in Jingchu is the most suitable?"
Xu Chu nodded heavily: "Yes, there will be no difference if you two go to join the Liu family of Shanyang. Liu Jingsheng is the state shepherd, and he also has the power of holiday. His son Liu Boyu is also a Zhenger Bajing named by the imperial court.
The governor of Nanyang County is now becoming more and more powerful in Jingzhou, and he can be said to be the leader in the southern border."
"Brother, what you say makes sense. My two brothers are willing to serve in Jingzhou, but I don't know if the Liu family of Shanyang is willing to let me wait?"
Xu Chu said: "There is a recommendation from a certain company, so I think there should be nothing wrong with it."
…
Xu Chu led his troops to join forces with Liu Qi in Yang'an, and the news soon spread to Zhang Xun.
Zhang Xun did not dare to neglect and immediately consulted with Gongsun Yue, Lei Bo and others.
"Liu Qi raised troops from Danyang County and returned to Runan to join forces with Huang Zu. Now he has joined forces with the Xu clan in Qiao County. His intention is for us. What should we do now?"
Gongsun Yue was born in the Gongsun family in western Liaoning. He had lived in border counties for a long time. He had a good temperament and a handsome appearance. He had the boldness and tension unique to local heroes.
He stood up and said to Zhang Xun: "Don't be impatient, Mr. Zhang. No matter how many soldiers and horses the Jing people have, as long as they fight on the plains, with my cavalry and the crossbows and spearmen under Zhang Xun to support them, Jing can do whatever they want."
No matter how many people come to Chu to support him, they are all at a loss, so there is no need to be afraid of him."
Seeing Gongsun Yue's confidence, Zhang Xun smiled bitterly and said: "Why is Colonel Gongsun so confident? Even though the Colonel has elite cavalry under his command, when charging into the formation, once the enemy's infantry outnumbers his own, the cavalry formation will be surrounded."
If you stay there and block the impact, you may not be able to escape."
Zhang Xun's words are very reasonable and in line with the spirit of war.
Gongsun Yue laughed loudly and said: "If the cavalry formation alone is surrounded by the enemy on the battlefield, it will be reasonable. But now I have 20,000 infantry under Captain Zhang to support me. There are shields among them."
Soldiers, archers, and soldiers with spears and halberds. If our cavalry is surrounded, the enemy will surround the cavalry, and their formation will be chaotic. At that time, the captain's soldiers and horses will support them from both sides, and they should cooperate with the cavalry formation inside and outside, and there will be no breakthrough.
The principle of the formation? Colonel Zhang is so familiar with the secrets of military formations, how come he can’t understand this principle?”
With Zhang Xun's marching methods, he naturally understood what Gongsun Yue said.
