Chapter 495 Xu Chu and Li Ru.

"I am Li Ru, and I pay my respects to you, my lord!"

"Li Ru, Li Wenyou."

Ning Fan looked at the young scholar, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes, the poisonous scholar Li Ru!

He was the chief strategist under Dong Zhuo. It can be said that Dong Zhuo's rise to power was due to this man. He was the one who planned to hold the emperor hostage and control the princes.

"No need to be polite."

Ning Fan nodded with a smile, and then set his eyes on the burly figure next to him, and said with a smile: "General, are you Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng of the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong nodded proudly, his gray temples moved with the wind, and he bowed slightly: "I am Huang Zhong, the last general, and I pay my respects to you, my lord."

"General Hansheng, there is no need to be polite."

Ning Fan looked at the old general in front of him, and his expression was full of sighs. From this situation, it can be seen that this man can be called old and strong. He is over 60 years old, but his eyes are still bright, his body is upright, and he looks as strong as an ox.

Huang Zhong's strength among the generals of the Three Kingdoms is definitely among the best. In the late period, Huang Zhong was able to fight the middle-aged Erye to a draw. If Huang Zhong had appeared 20 years earlier, he might have been able to defeat Erye.

After all, the peak period of a warrior is in his early thirties.

"Wen You, Han Sheng, I am in need of people now, and you came at the right time."

"The nine princes in Guanshan are about to meet, and I will be able to add wings to the tiger with your help."

"I am waiting for you to shine."

Li Ru smiled slightly and stood aside silently, while Ning Fan silently opened the system mall. His reputation value had been used up by him, so he naturally could not exchange for memory beads.

"My Lord!"

"The roasted whole lamb is cooked!"

Xu Chu rushed in excitedly. Seeing two figures suddenly appear in the yard, he looked at them in surprise, and then widened his eyes: "Huang Hansheng!"

"Oh?"

Huang Zhong looked at Xu Chu in confusion and asked in surprise: "Who are you and why do you know me?"

"Hehe!"

Xu Chu understood instantly that the old guy had not yet recovered his memory. He said with a slight smile: "Although I am a warrior, I can also tell fortunes. If you don't mind, let me take a look at my palm and tell a fortune for you?"

Ning Fan, who was standing aside, couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard this. Xu Chu, this fool, actually learned to fool people.

"Very good!"

"I didn't expect that there would be such a strange man under the command of the lord."

"Thank you, General."

As he spoke, Huang Zhong stretched out his slightly withered palm. Xu Chu just glanced at it and said calmly: "If I am not mistaken, the general is good at using a longbow."

"The general's origin... temperament..."

Xu Chu began to deceive seriously. Ning Fan glanced at him lightly and said playfully: "Zhongkang, since you are so good at calculating, why don't you take a look at this person too?"

"Who is this?"

Xu Chu looked at Li Ru, frowning slightly, as if he had never seen him before. Could he also be a person from the late Han Dynasty?

This kind of scholar's attire, he had never had any intersection with him.

"Hehe, you are a handsome boy. If I am not mistaken, you should be a scholar, right?"

"Yes!"

Li Ru nodded with a smile.

"But from a noble family?"

Li Ru shook his head.

"My lord, this scholar is useless. He is just a fool who only knows how to study. I, Xu Chu, have nothing to say to such people."

"He looks stupid. Boy, it is fate that we meet today. If you are bullied in the future, tell me my name."

"General Hansheng, let's go and eat roasted whole lamb."

Huang Zhong looked at Xu Chu with a puzzled look, and there was also some suspicion in his eyes. Can this man really count?

"Hehe!"

Ning Fan also looked at Xu Chu jokingly and said softly: "Zhongkang, this scholar's name is Li Ru, and his courtesy name is Wenyou."

"He really looks stupid."

"Li... Li Ru!"

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, and looked at the gentle Li Ru with an unbelievable face. Facing his kind smile, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

He, Xu Chu, has been on the battlefield for many years. Even if he faces thousands of enemy troops, he is not afraid. Even if he is with the world's number one Lu Bu, he dares to fight to the death.

The only thing he feared was these old cunning people who were playing tricks on him, and he always kept his distance from them.

What did he call him just now?

Idiot?

This old guy Li Ru shouldn't be so petty, right?

He wouldn't be thinking about him, right?

"Ahem!"

"It turned out to be Mr. Wen You."

"It's me, Xu Chu, who was rude."

"I dare not!"

Li Ru still had a gentle smile on his face, and said calmly: "General, you are too polite."

"Let's go, let's eat meat."

"The roasted whole lamb is cooked."

...

After eating and drinking, all the generals gathered together. Xu Chu, Dian Wei and other generals drank a lot, but they were not drunk.

Now the war is tense, it's not the time to get drunk.

"Report!"

"My lord, generals, I just got the news that the coalition forces of the nine princes have entered the Jiuchong Pass."

"They are about to knock on the gate."

A general of the scout camp saluted respectfully and spoke in a deep voice.

"Nine lords, how many troops have they brought?"

"My lord, nearly 300,000 troops!"

"Interesting."

Ning Fan's eyes sparkled with a gleam of brilliance, and he smiled playfully: "A few days ago, they were still fighting each other, but now they can unite their troops to resist Dayu together."

"Fengxian, Yunchang, do you feel familiar?"

"Haha!" Lu Bu smiled contemptuously and said lightly: "The nine-way coalition of princes, 300,000 soldiers and horses, is just a small scene."

"A bunch of people who are willing to sell their heads, Guan's Qinglong Yanyue Sword can break them."

Looking at the two people's arrogant faces, Ning Fan looked at Guo Jia and Li Ru, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, do you have any good ideas?"

Guo Jia bowed slightly and subconsciously glanced at Li Ru. Since this person entered the hall, he has not said a word, and the lord has not deliberately introduced him, which is a bit inconspicuous.

"My lord, the nine princes gathered here. On the surface, they seem to be united against the outside world, but they have been fighting each other for a long time, and their hatred is deep enough."

"It is a pipe dream for the princes to work together."

"Therefore, although the nine princes have 300,000 coalition forces, they are actually a pile of scattered sand."

Ning Fan nodded and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao's words make sense. The army in Guanshan, whether in armor, weapons or generals and supplies, is far from comparable to my Dayu."

"Therefore, the 300,000 troops are just a mob."

"A bunch of chickens and dogs, I don't take them seriously."

"However, now that they have gathered together, I want to take this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Do you have any good ideas?"

...
