Xu Chu and Zhou Cang both had great power and did not use skillful moves during the battle. It was definitely a "force battle". After fighting, both sides fought with Lily and did not decide the outcome.

However, at this time, Zhou Cang could not support it. His big sword was a long weapon, and it took more effort to use it. In addition, Xu Chu's strength was originally greater than him, and every time it made his arms numb. He actually just held on forcing him. However, after a hundred rounds of competition, his strength gradually became insufficient, and his arms felt sore and soft. If he continued to fight, he could only support thirty rounds at most and would be defeated.

At this time, only the sound of Mingjin coming from behind was heard. Zhou Cang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Pei Qing found a way out for him. He immediately took a false blow and withdrew from the battle.

However, when he was about to leave, Zhou Cang did not hide it and laughed loudly: "Xu Chu, it's true that I'm brave. I'm no match for it, I admire you!"

"Haha, you are not bad, you can hold on for so long. You are the strongest opponent I have ever seen. When will you have time, let's talk and fight again." Xu Chu also had a good feeling for Zhou Cang, and the two of them now appreciate each other.

Then Xu Chu said to Pei Qing: "It is obvious that you have such a powerful general under your command. Although this old man Zhou's bravery is slightly worse than mine, he is already the first-class general in the world. Even the number one general under Yuan Shu is not the opponent of this Zhou Laohei. It seems that he should be the governor Pei, but I heard that you are attacking Qiao County, and for some reason he was here? If Pei Envoy cannot give me a reasonable explanation, although I, Xu Chu, are just a commoner, can't give up."

Pei Qing sighed secretly when he heard this and said slowly, "Shi Zhuangshi, what you said just now makes sense. Why did I come here? It's a long story. I was indeed going to attack Qiao County, but Ji Ling was a large number of people, and if the trenches were dug, even if our army could barely break the city, there would be heavy casualties. So I set up a plan. In this way, I finally tricked Ji Ling to take the initiative to attack my camp. Then our army had already set up an ambush. As a result, our army fired tens of thousands of arrows at the same time, and the enemy was defeated and fled. Our army was naturally poor.

He was reluctant to leave and was about to take the opportunity to follow the city to break the city. However, he did not expect that the guard in the city was He Man, the old Yellow Turbans. This guy refused to let Ji Ling enter the city. After forcing Ji Ling away, he did not allow me to enter the city. Instead, he drove the people to the city to defend. In order to avoid hurting the innocent, I could only pretend to retreat first. After he relaxed his vigilance, he suddenly killed him and broke through Qiao County with lightning speed. In this way, the people would have fewer casualties. However, I didn't expect to meet Xu Zhuangshi, which caused a misunderstanding."

"So that's it," Xu Chu nodded after hearing Pei Qing's words, "This He Man is really hateful. He actually threatens the envoy with the people. This is thanks to the envoy's kindness and can put the people first, which saves the people from a disaster. However, if you want to kill him after leaving, it is not impossible. However, He Man's cruelty will probably continue to move the people to defend the city again. Even when he retreats, he will capture many people and threaten the envoy with them. At that time, will the envoy let him go?"

"This..." Pei Qing was silent after hearing this. In fact, Pei Qing also thought of what Xu Chu said, but he had no better way at the moment. After thinking about it, he could only be cruel and sacrifice some of the people to get rid of this disaster. However, whenever he thought that the people would suffer unrestrained disasters because of him, Pei Qing still felt a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Xu Chu said, "If the envoy believes in me, I can lead my troops into Qiao County, pretend to be defeated by the envoy, and then surrender to him. The other party will not doubt it. At that time, we will cooperate inside and outside and will be able to easily capture Qiao County, and at the same time avoid affecting innocent people."

Pei Qing was overjoyed when he heard this and said to Xu Chu: "If this is the case, the people of Qiao County will be spared from a disaster, and at the same time, it will solve a big problem for me. This is really a blessing for the people of Qiao County. Qing expressed his gratitude to Xu Zhuangshi on behalf of the people of Qiao County."

Then Pei Qing saluted Xu Chu solemnly and respectfully. Xu Chu was so panicked that he quickly turned sideways and said, "What is Pei Jun doing? It's really a traitor. Please rest assured that Chu will definitely live up to his mission. However, in this way, Chu will not be able to entertain you, because in order to make He Man trust, Chu can only lead all the clan tribes to leave, and he will burn Zhuangzi before leaving."

Seeing this, Pei Qing hurriedly said, "Xu Zhuangshi Gao Yi, please rest assured. After this battle is over, I will send someone to renovate the Guizhuang and reward Xu Zhuangshi and your warriors!"

"Haha, it doesn't matter whether you reward or not. Please wait for a while, let's clean up and leave now." Xu Chu did not delay and immediately summoned the men, women, young and old in the village to explain the situation to them, and then took them away, setting fire to the entire manor before leaving.

Seeing their leaving figures, Zhou Cang sighed softly: "This Xu Chu is really a righteous man. He tried hard to protect the manor before, but now he has burned him to a flat ground without hesitation. This shows that this man is a loyal and righteous man. Such a loyal and brave blade is hard to find in the whole world. Don't forget to bring him under your command."

Pei Qing laughed and said, "I know this in my heart. Of course I will not let go of Xu Zhongkang's loyal and brave people, but it seems that Yuanfu and Zhongkang are really sympathetic. Okay, now that the manor is gone, we have to rest and rest well. Of course, it is not possible to be here. I guess He Man will definitely send someone to investigate the situation here, so we have to continue moving forward for 10 or 20 miles, and we can lead the army back after another day."

Pei Qing then ordered the entire army to continue to go forward for twenty miles, and then set up camp and rest for a good day.

Just as Pei Qing's army was resting safely in the new camp, Xu Chu led his troops to outside Qiao County, and told He Man about Pei Qing's invasion of his manor and razing his manor to the ground. He also expressed his willingness to defect to He Man. As long as He Man can avenge him, he can be loyal to He Man.
