At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the flock chased the deer in the Central Plains, and the Wei Shu Wu world was divided into three points. During this period, many influential figures emerged, the so-called heroes of the waves, a generation of heroes Cao Cao; Zhuge Kongming, who was clever and calculating; and Guan Yunchang, who was righteous and thin. There are countless heroes of this era, and it is precisely because of this that this history is extremely fascinating.
Xu Chu (許褚), courtesy name Zhongkang (Chinese: 谯国谯人), was a famous general of the State of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xu Zhu took his neighbors to resist the thieves, Xu Zhufang was soon outnumbered, and the grain was cut off, Xu Zhu, in order to solve the current predicament, suddenly had a plan, promised to give the cattle in the township to the thieves in exchange for grain, and the cattle were sent away and ran back on their own, the thieves chased after them, Xu Zhu alone dragged the tail of the cattle and walked more than a hundred steps, the cattle could not break free, the thieves did not dare to come forward when they saw this, did not dare to ask for cattle from Xu Zhu again, and since then in the land of Huai, Ru, Chen, and Liang, Xu Zhu has become famous and famous.
In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led his troops to occupy Huai, Ru and other places, Xu Chu led the people to submit to Cao Cao, Cao Cao saw Xu Zhu brave and fierce, and used him very much. Xu Zhu fought bravely, and when Cao Cao fought at Zhang Xiu at Wancheng, Xu Zhu took the lead and was invincible, beheading more than 10,000 thieves. In this battle, Cao Cao lost his beloved general Dianwei, and since Dianwei's death, Xu Zhu became responsible for Cao Cao's personal safety. During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao confronted each other at Guandu, when Xu He and others wanted to murder Cao Cao, but because Xu Zhu had always been around Cao Cao, Xu He and the others did not dare to act because they were afraid, and waited until Xu Zhu left to dare to come out and hide the blade to meet Cao Cao, just as Xu Zhu returned to Cao Cao because he was upset, seeing that Xu Zhu and several people looked wrong, Xu Zhu was suspicious, and found that they were going to assassinate Cao Cao, so they killed Xu He and the others. After this incident, Cao Cao trusted Xu Zhu more and kept Xu Zhu with him to prevent accidents.
Xu rescued Cao Cao from danger many times, and in the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Xu Zhu followed Cao Cao to conquest Han Sui and Ma Chao at Tongguan. Cao Cao's army wanted to cross the river, so Cao Cao first let the army cross the river, and he led more than a hundred people to break the queen, it was Ma Chao who led more than 10,000 soldiers to come and kill Cao Cao, Xu Zhu in order to ensure Cao Cao's safety, so let Cao Cao go first, himself after the break. However, at that time, the situation was urgent, the thieves were unstoppable, and the remaining soldiers were all scrambling to get on the ship, and because the overweight ship was about to be submerged, Xu Zhu killed the climbers and sent Cao Cao to the ship, completely ensuring Cao Cao's safety.
Later, Cao Cao talked alone with Ma Chao and others, and withdrew from the crowd, taking only Xu Chu alone. Ma Chao saw this and wanted to secretly attack Cao Cao, but when he heard of Xu Zhu's name on weekdays, he saw that Cao Cao only had one person with him, so he asked Cao Cao if this person was Xu Zhu the Tiger Marquis, and Cao Cao returned to Dao. Ma Chao saw that Xu Zhu was tall and looked at each other angrily, and for a moment he did not dare to make a move. In this engagement with Ma Chao's army, Xu Zhu fought bravely and personally beheaded the head of the enemy army. Xu Zhu was credited with defending the battle this time, and was even more trusted and relied upon by Cao Cao.
Moreover, Xu Zhu was very loyal to Cao Cao and was a loyal soldier. When the great general Cao Ren came to see Cao Cao, he saw Xu Zhu and wanted to talk to Xu Zhu freely, but Xu Zhu did not agree because of the difference between inside and outside. After that, someone asked Xu Zhu why he did this, wasn't he afraid of Cao Ren's hatred? Xu Zhu replied, Cao Ren is a great general stationed on the border, and I am in charge of the internal guards, how can I intersect too much? When Cao Cao learned of this, he was even more blue-eyed at Xu Zhu.
Xu Chu was deeply trusted by the Cao Cao family, and Xu Zhu's family was also treated preferentially and courteously. After Cao Cao's death, Xu Zhu cried and was very sad, and since Cao Cao's death, Xu Zhu continued to be responsible for the first task of protecting Cao Pi and doing his best for the Cao Cao family. Xu Zhu was a loyal soldier throughout his life, loyal to the Cao Wei regime. Every time he encountered a crisis, Xu Zhuxian rushed to the front, cut through thorns and thorns, and never flinched. And Xu Zhu's death is Cao Wei's loss, and such a hero is worth remembering.
