In Dongguan, salt merchant Zhang Shide escorted 2,000 kilograms of salt to Zhang Hua's territory as agreed and traded in Dongguan.

The salt people unloaded the salt and then transported the pig iron from Xiacun to the ox cart.

Chen Wu held the knife and personally supervised the transaction at the gate to prevent Zhang Shide from winning the gate.

"The pig iron smelted in your village is of good quality."

After Zhang Shide inspected the pig iron delivered in Xia Village, he praised Xia Village's pig iron.

"After the exchange is completed, you can leave."

Chen Wu's tone was cold.

"You're really cold."

Zhang Shide found that Chen Wu, who was born in the Beggar Army, was quite indifferent and seemed unwilling to speak much.

"If you bring someone to protect salt, I will find it difficult to explain if you intend to plan my level."

"Hahaha, then you are too cautious. I, Zhang Shide, are not a trustless person."

After Zhang Shide obtained the pig iron, he escorted the ox cart away.

Chen Wu is in charge of the pass, cold and ruthless, and eliminates all threats.

From time to time, refugees from the eastern plains passed through the checkpoints and entered the valley.

For the small refugees, Chen Wu only sent a few soldiers to escort to Xia Village. If they were in groups, they would be escorted by a cavalry team.

"The smell of blood..."

Chen Wu saw dozens of refugees appearing on the horizon. They were dressed in rags and still had frozen blood on their bodies. He immediately became alert, waved his right hand and closed the door tightly.

A row of archers came to the city wall and pointed the bow and arrow at the unusual group of refugees.

The refugee leader was a burly man with a strong appearance, like an iron tower, holding a large sword with a rolled blade in his hand.

The remaining refugees were covered in scars and supported each other, which was a terrible sight.

The refugees were shocked when they saw a checkpoint blocking ahead.

The relevant card and the defenders indicate that they have arrived at the sphere of a certain force.

Chen Wu shouted loudly: "Who are you? Why do you knock on the gate!"

The refugee leader responded, his voice louder than Chen Wu: "I am Xu Chu, Qiao County, and I was defeated by the Eight Banners. My clan relatives were killed, so I came to surrender! You should not be Huang Taiji's subordinates, right?"

"Xu Chu?!"

Chen Wu's body shook and his eyes were bulging.

Chen Wu was the commander of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, so he naturally knew that Xu Chu, a powerful general in the previous dynasty.

Emperor Wu of Wei Cao had two generals of the imperial guards, one was the ancient evil-looking Dianwei, and the other was the tiger-in-law Xu Chu!

Chen Wu relied on his martial arts skills, but in front of Xu Chu, he was like a child.

"Wait for a moment, and I will let my Lord tell you whether he accepts it."

Chen Wu was not sure whether Xu Chu was really coming to surrender or deliberately opened the city gate.

Although Xu Chu's wisdom should not use tricks like fraud, if there are people like Cao Cao behind Xu Chu, then Chen Wu cannot take this risk.

"You can give us some food and water during this period?"

Xu Chu was so angry that as the lord of the fortress, he was defeated by Huang Taiji with his relatives and fellow villagers, and was chased by the Eight Banners Cavalry. He was already at the end of his strength and his mouth was dry.

Chen Wu immediately asked someone to put the food and bucket with a hanging basket to fill his stomach for Xu Chu and others.

Xu Chu and others were hungry for a long time and ate voraciously.

Xu Chu, alone, drank a bucket of water in one breath, like a buffalo.

The cavalry sent by Chen Wu rushed to Xia Village, found Zhang Hua, and informed the news.

"The tiger crazy Xu Chu actually appeared here, and was defeated by Huang Taiji's cavalry. Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, man's plan is not as good as heaven's plan, you actually sent Xu Chu over! Come and follow me to Dongguan!"

Zhang Hua immediately summoned Mulan's light cavalry and went to pick up Ying Xu Chu.

If you subdue such a powerful general, then Zhang Hua can gain a loyal thug.

"Xu Chu? I know this person, Cao Cao's escort!"

Sun Shangxiang had heard of Xu Chu's name, so he followed him to join in the fun.

Outside the East Gate, Xu Chu and his group replenished their energy, regained their energy, and lay on the ground to rest.

Zhang Hua brought Chen Gong, Mulan and Sun Shangxiang to Dongguan and took the lead in summoning Chen Wu.

"Is Xu Chu coming to surrender, is it true or not?"

"From the last point of view, Xu Chu and his group were hungry for a long time, swallowed up voraciously, and had new injuries, which did not seem like a false surrender."

"Business, what do you think?"

"Ninety percent are true, and one percent are false."

“Worth a try.”

Zhang Hua believed that if Xu Chu pretended to surrender, he would definitely not be able to hide in front of him, Chen Gong and others.

The heavy closing door opened, and Zhang Hua brought hundreds of cavalry to pick up Xu Chu, which scared Xu Chu's villagers and was tense.

"Don't be nervous, I am the person in charge of this place. If you rely on me, I can place you in the village."

Zhang Hua appeased the emotions of Xu Chu and his group.

Xu Chu said in an inverted voice: "Xu Chu, whose courtesy name is Zhongkang, is from Qiao County. He was defeated by the Eight Banners, so he is here. Thank you for taking it in!"

Zhang Hua and Chen Gong observed Xu Chu's expression: "Where is Cao Cao?"

Xu Chu scratched his head in confusion: "What Cao Cao?"

Zhang Hua and Chen Gong all saw that when Xu Chu came over, he didn't know Cao Cao.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Xu Chu gathered thousands of soldiers and his clans to build a fort to resist the invasion of the bandits, and was famous in the Huai, Ru, Chen and Liang.

It was not until 197 AD that Xu Chu defected to Cao Cao.

This Xu Chu didn’t know Cao Cao, but he was better for Zhang Hua!

Zhang Hua tried to recruit Xu Chu: "If I defeat Huang Taiji and avenge you, can I serve for me and go through fire and water without hesitation?"

"If Huang Taiji kills my villagers, if he can take revenge, Chu will do whatever he wants!"

Xu Chu held his fists, and spoke righteously, and his voice was as loud as a thunder.

"It's really a hero."

Chen Gong couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Chu is extremely powerful, loyal and not that complicated, and is the most suitable candidate for serving as a guard.

Chen Gong obtained more information about Huang Taiji through Xu Chu: "How many soldiers did Huang Taiji use? How did he defeat you?"

"Huang Taiji used two thousand soldiers, and some soldiers besieged the fortress, and some soldiers seized the mature crops. I was desperate and could only leave the fortress and fought with Huang Taiji, but I was hit by his ambush."

"This Huang Taiji is indeed not a simple person."

When Chen Gong heard Xu Chu explain the situation at that time, he felt that Huang Taiji was difficult to deal with.

Huang Taiji's plan followed by another plan, and Xu Chu was completely played with by Huang Taiji in his palm.

"To deal with Huang Taiji, we need to make a long-term plan."

Zhang Hua knew that Huang Taiji followed Nurhaci to fight in the east since he was a child, defeating the Ming army, Mongolia, and North Korea outside, fighting with his brothers for the Khan throne at home, fighting openly and secretly, and having all kinds of experiences, abilities, emotional intelligence, courage, and wisdom.

It can be said that without Huang Taiji transforming a chaotic tribal regime into a powerful centralized regime, conquering Mongolia and North Korea, destroying the elites of the Ming army on the nine sides in the Battle of Songjin, indirectly leading to the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army might not have the chance to win the world.

Among the Emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji was an underrated one because Huang Taiji died early a year before the demise of the Ming Dynasty and failed to enter the pass.

Judging from Huang Taiji's strategy to defeat Xu Chu and his position as the banner leader to win over Zhang Hua, Huang Taiji's methods can be seen.

To deal with such a person, you must be careful and take every step.

"Xu Chu, why not let's have a chance to discuss it."

Chen Wu was ready to fight and took the initiative to call Xu Chu to see how the martial arts of this powerful general of the Three Kingdoms were.

"What's wrong!"
