Since ancient times, most of the powerful people are loyal and brave people."
Tiger general Xu Chu is the best proof.
Although he was not selected as a good general of the five sons.
But he has contributed a lot to the establishment of Cao Wei Group.
From the tiger idiot of Qianjun to the three generations of Cao Wei of Lian Wei.
Behind this success. It is Xu Chu's unique wisdom.
Xu Chu was born in the country of Qiao, a native of Bozhou, Anhui Province, and Cao Cao is a fellow villager.
In the early years, it was nameless.
During the turmoil at the end of the Han Dynasty, he led the righteous soldiers to resist the Yellow Turban Army.
He once dragged a mad cow upside down hundreds of paces with his bare hands. Scare away the thieves.
Since then, Xu Chu's prestige has been completely spread in the Huai River area.
In 197 AD, when Cao Cao patrolled here, Xu Chu came to defect with a group of subordinates.
Seeing his big shoulders and round waist, Cao Cao couldn't help but be amazed, and praised Chu for being my fan.
Xu Chu, who had just joined Cao's camp, served as a lieutenant and was responsible for protecting the safety of Cao Cao's tent.
But simple love can't be reused by Cao Cao, who is a meritocracy.
Xu Chu is waiting for an opportunity to show his bravery.
Not long after, Cao Cao raised troops to recruit Zhang Xiu, and Xu Chu led his troops to serve as the vanguard.
In the siege battle, he made the greatest contribution to breaking through the city first.
The number of enemy soldiers killed was in the tens of thousands. Immediately, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant".
Xu Chu's first contribution made Cao Cao see his iron strength, but he understood that he wanted to gain a foothold under Cao's tent. Gaining Cao Cao's trust is the most important thing.
In 200 AD, Cao Cao was at a disadvantage in the confrontation between Guandu and Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao's account, Xu He and others wanted to take Cao Cao's head and dedicate it to Yuan Shao.
Taking advantage of Xu Chu's shift change, Xu He came to meet Cao Cao with a sharp blade.
Who would have thought that Xu Chu, who should have been sleeping, was uneasy. Turned back again.
Xu was shocked when he saw Xu Chu when he entered the account. Xu Chu saw that the situation was not right, and immediately killed Xu He and others.
Afterwards, Cao Cao completely trusted Xu Chu and walked with him without leaving for a moment.
As a famous general at that time, it was natural to fight with generals of the same level in order to achieve a great name. And Xu Chu's prestige is to fight with Ma Chao, the five tiger generals, and it spreads.
In 211 AD, Cao Cao, who had experienced the defeat of Chibi, returned to Xuchang, painstakingly managed and accumulated national strength, and focused on the Xiliang area in the next step.
In June of the same year, Cao Cao personally led a large army to conquer Guanzhong, and Ma Chao confronted Tongguan.
When the Cao army was attacking with the north crossing the Yellow River, Ma Chao led tens of thousands of iron cavalry to suddenly kill, and for a time the Cao army's formation was disrupted, and even the resourceful Cao Cao had to hide his face and escape. This is the famous Cao Cao in history who cut his beard and abandoned his robe.
Cao Cao fled to the banks of the Weishui River under the escort of Xu Chu, and only more than 100 cronies remained to fight the enemy.
In the face of the swarming Xiliang army, Xu Chu personally escorted Cao Cao onto the ship and fought hard to kill the attacking enemy. With his left hand supporting the saddle to resist the sword, and his right hand pushing the boat across the river, Cao Cao was finally saved from the danger.
Afterwards, Cao Cao and Han Sui met alone under the city, and when the two sides waved, Ma Chao wanted to shoot Cao Cao with his own bravery, but saw that the guard on the side was Xu Chu, and after all, he was afraid and did not dare to move.
A few days later, Cao Cao defeated the Western Liang army. During the battle, Xu Chu personally beheaded the enemy and dedicated it to Cao Cao.
After the battle of Xiliang, the name of the tiger idiot Xu Chu resounded throughout the Central Plains, and he also made meritorious contributions to the battle, and was officially awarded 5 Zhonglang generals.
In 220 AD, a generation of heroes Cao Cao died of illness, and Xu Chu was grief-stricken and cried bitterly. For him, Cao Cao is not only his lord, but also a benefactor who knows him.
After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he deliberately crowned Xu Chu as the marquis of the Long Live Court, promoted to General Wuwei, and handed over the security affairs under the imperial city to him. After Cao Pi's death, Xu Chu continued to guard his son Cao Rui until his death.
Throughout his life, Xu Chu's behavior has never exceeded the rules, he has never been suspected by Cao Cao, and he is deeply trusted by three generations of monarchs
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has such a line to say Xu Chu in dialogue.
Xu Chu was ordered to go to meet with Cao Pi, but Cao Pi happened to do a wrong thing before, misunderstood Cao Cao, and saw that the person who came was Xu Chu, so he was frightened and gritted his teeth.
The person who came to get me was Xu Chu!”。
Who is Xu Chu?”
He was his father's best fighter!”。
As long as his father gives an order, even if he asks him to cut his father, he won't frown!”。
No wonder, Xu You defected to Cao Cao, with some credit for himself, and Cao Cao was small, crazy and boundless, calling Cao Cao by his nickname, which was indeed very disrespectful, and was directly killed by Xu Chu!
