Xu Chu did not dare to have any reservations in front of Zhao Yun. He went to kill Zhao Yun with all his strength. He used a desperate fighting style from the beginning. He thought that Zhao Yun was only thirty years old at most, which was about the same age as himself. If he could defeat Zhao Yun, Xu Chu would be able to do it.

It is famous all over the world.

Zhao Yun was not surprised at all by Xu Chu's desperate fighting style. He kept using the exquisite moves of Bainiaochaofengqian, but Xu Chu couldn't resist just three moves, and suffered many injuries on his body. No matter how fierce his fighting style was, Zhao Yun was able to do it with ease.

.

After twenty moves, Xu Chu was completely suppressed by Zhao Yun. He was tired of defending and suffered more and more injuries. Xu Chu's muscles had grown stronger, but Zhao Yun was still able to handle it with ease.

Seeing that Xu Chu could no longer parry, he thought to himself that despite his fame, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu had different styles, but they were equally powerful. If Xu Chu had to compare, Xu Chu felt that Zhao Yun should be stronger than Guan Yu.

Just as he was about to admit defeat, Xu Chu discovered that Zhao Yun had withdrawn from the battle group.

"You are indeed good. If you really go to the battlefield, you can go hundreds of rounds under my hands. There are only seven or eight people who can defeat you in Yizhou!"

Let’s meet again later! I hope the next time we meet is not on the battlefield!” After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he rode away.

Xu Chu stood there and his body slowly returned to normal, and his injuries were almost recovered. As a loser, he watched Zhao Yun leave and sighed at the gathering of generals in Yizhou.

The reputation of Yizhou military generals is not very good in the Central Plains, and many forces feel that Liu Xin focuses on the development of Yizhou and despises the training of military generals. Having met Huang Xu and Zhao Yun, Xu Chu did not dare to look down upon them. He is Cao Cao's subordinate.

The first military generals, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, were not his opponents, but the first military general in Yizhou was not Zhao Yun.

The five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry escorted Guo Jia to Yizhou this time, and their role was basically negligible. Most of the time they worked in factories as coolies. Except when they first entered Yizhou, they never even saw Guo Jia. Now they have been reduced to

For the caravan porters, it was not easy to transport goods from Shu County to Luoyang, Sizhou.

Fortunately, the official road in Yizhou was flat and the carriage could cover 150 miles a day, so before the New Year, Xu Chu left Hanzhong County and entered Yongzhou. Even though the carriage had a shock absorber, the speed slowed down.

Near Hanzhong County, the people here benefit from the influence of the state to some extent, and they can get food and wear better clothes. These people do not go to Yizhou here, because there is a steady stream of people from Yongzhou entering Hanzhong County from here.

They can also make a lot of money by staying here.

Fortunately, it didn’t snow before this year. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xu Chu had just entered Sizhou with his convoy, and it started to snow heavily. Some of the supplies Xu Chu transported included cotton-padded clothes, so they didn’t have to worry about being cold or hungry.

His driving speed couldn't help but slow down.

On the official roads of Sizhou, no one can be seen in the winter. Occasionally, some wild beasts with red eyes howl at them in the mountains and forests. Compared with Yizhou, Sizhou is like entering another world, a lonely and cold place.

world.

The closer he got to Luoyang City, the more Xu Chu felt something was wrong. Cao Cao asked him to escort Guo Jia to Yizhou, but he came back after taking his things. Guo Jia gave him a letter and he took it seriously, in case Guo Jia really didn't come back.

How can I explain it to Cao Cao?

Cao Cao was kind to Xu Chu. Xu Chu was the most supportive of Cao Cao in Cao Cao's lineup. Seeing that he was approaching Luoyang, Xu Chu looked at the two hundred carts full of goods pulled behind him, and his originally happy heart suddenly became happy.

If you don't get up, you will lose Guo Jia, and it will be useless no matter how much you bring back.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Cao Cao lit a fire in his stronghold in the south of Luoyang City. Due to the lack of winter clothes, they had not brought enough food, and they had to consider saving seeds for spring plowing next year, so Cao Cao gave his orders to his men to keep themselves warm in the house and go out less often.

When walking around, everyone only had one coarse grain cake per day, even Cao Cao himself.

It has been three months since Guo Jia left, and there is still no news. If they are unable to enter Yongzhou at this time, the three hundred miles of Qinling Mountain Road out of Hanzhong County will block their journey. Cao Cao is so worried.

Cao Cao considered Liu Xin's possible attitude towards him. He was now so poor that he only had a miserable life, and there was nothing Liu Xin could appreciate. To be honest, compared with Liu Xin's powerful Yizhou, Cao Cao was already a poor man.

Without the strength to communicate fairly with Liu Xin, the outcome this time depends entirely on Guo Jia!

Thinking of Guo Jia's health, Cao Cao couldn't help but worry if he was on the road in this winter. Originally anxious, he just hoped that Guo Jia would not be in a hurry to come back and just come back in the spring next year.

Just as Cao Cao was thinking about it, he heard someone walking in outside the house. It was his general Xiahou Dun. He, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, and Cao Hong walked in.

"Lord!" The three of them saluted Cao Cao.

"What happened again?" Cao Cao couldn't help but feel upset when he saw the three people arriving. He knew that nothing good would happen.

"There was a report from the village just now that a family of nine died while warming themselves at home. The people had too little food and no cotton clothes for the winter. This winter has been too difficult!" Xiahou Dun said to Cao Cao.

"I also want to feed the people, but where does the food come from? Fengxiao has already gone to Yizhou. He will be back before the spring plowing, so everyone can hold on for a while." Cao Cao said sadly.

Cao Cao has 20,000 troops, plus more than 30,000 accompanying family members. Before winter this year, he moved all the people of Sizhou to the vicinity of Luoyang City. Now there are about 60,000 people in his stronghold. If he can survive until this autumn harvest, Cao Cao will

You can gain a foothold in Sizhou.

In the past few days, people in the areas under the responsibility of the military generals have been frozen to death, and as the snow falls and more and more people freeze to death, each area has a team of soldiers specialized in carrying corpses. If it were not winter now, these people would have died long ago.

Just ran away.

Xiahou Dun and others didn't say anything. They wanted Cao Cao to take out the grain seeds for this spring's plowing. If they didn't take them out, a large number of people would have to die until spring. How could Cao Cao be willing to do so? Without grain seeds, there would be no harvest this year. How could he do it?

Take root here.

While several people were silent in the room, Xia Houyuan hurriedly walked in from outside. He laughed as he walked. Cao Cao and others all came out after hearing the sound.

"Lord, Zhongkang is back, just sixty miles east of Luoyang City. He has brought back a large amount of grain, cotton clothes and farm tools. He will be home tonight!" Xia Houyuan said happily.
