Lu's relatives

Chapter 442

Lu Bu's words sounded a bit harsh, but they were indeed true.Not to mention Lu Bu, even Qin Xu did not expect that the situation in Jizhou had become so chaotic when Yuan Shang flew to sue.Liu Bei, Kong Rong, Yuan Xi, Heishan bandits and other irrelevant characters can be mixed together because of the ownership of Jizhou. Is there anything impossible in this world?

For the news sent back by Yuan Shang, Qin Xu has shadow evidence, and does not doubt that it is false, but Qin Xu is really dissatisfied that Yuan Shang can choose the latter between his brother and Lu Bujun on the issue of the ownership of Jizhou. I understand too much.

I thought it would take at least a lot of thought to get Jizhou, not to mention a fight with the elite soldiers of Jizhou when the fisherman can't make a profit. After all, in Linzi, Lu Bujun's control is very strong, and it can even be said that there is no such thing as a secret You can escape from the ears of the shadows. Qin Xu also knew about the plan of "borrowing chickens to lay eggs" that Tian Fengju gave to Yuan Shang's mother and son.Before Yuan Shang struggled to leave Pingyuan, Qin Xu had already started planning with the help of Jia Xu, but unexpectedly, the people of the Zhen family were put under house arrest by Liu Bei and used as bargaining chips to plot against Lu Bujun. Lu Bujun’s early losses were minimal, and he even captured Liu Bei’s sworn brother Zhang Fei alive, which was equivalent to holding a trump card in his hand. However, this sudden “conflict” also greatly increased the risk of the original Jizhou strategy.

Although Liu Bei suffered heavy losses at that time, he lost nearly a quarter of his army's [-] soldiers and horses and strong generals like Zhang Fei before the official battle began, but it has to be said that he finally wanted to hold Lu Bu's army back. The purpose is actually achieved.At least in Liu Bei's eyes, but also from the other side, Lu Bu's army was steadily "delayed" for nearly seven days.

It wasn't until Yuan Shang learned that the helper chosen by his second brother Yuan Xi was Zhang Yan, the notorious leader of the Black Mountain bandit in Hebei, and Yuan Shang had a whim in his heart and came to the east at night to tell him, that Qin Xu finally understood the previous target. Although Kong Rong was the one running the strategy of the entire Jizhou, it was the Second Young Master Yuan who wanted to benefit from it in the end.But obviously, this can only be regarded as a fool who has a thousand thoughts and gains. The second son Yuan's plan is indeed good, but it is a pity that he chose the wrong ally.

Even a master manipulator like Liu Bei may not be able to completely control the Black Bandit. The second son of Yuan Xi and Yuan, Qin Xu, no matter from his historical experience or from the intelligence of Yuan Xi's performance all the time, how is it? I can't believe that this nobleman of the Yuan family has such a heart and means to surpass Brother Big Ear.Well, since it was impossible, but it still contributed to the occurrence of this matter, it can only be said that Zhang Yan, the first black bandit who turned against Cao Cao, was definitely not just for the so-called kindness of a bastard like Yuan Xi He did this, maybe he came up with some other ideas.

Although Qin Xu was not sure about the intentions of these companies, it didn't mean that he couldn't find out the news first.Judging from Yuan Shang's statement of Yuan Xi's plan to use the hands of the Black Mountain bandits to clean up Liu Bei first, it can be seen that Yecheng's gains and losses have reached a very critical moment.Qin Xu's original intention was to ask the Flying Cavalry Battalion led by Cheng Lian or Qu Yi, or the relatively high-powered troops of the first boarding camp, to investigate the situation, but unexpectedly, Lu Bu was caught by Qin Xu's words. I plan to persuade you.I have nothing to do left and right, and I also feel that it is time to show the majesty of our army in front of the forces in Hebei.The province is human and non-human, and everyone wants to beat it. This time, under Qin Xu's intercession, he did not behead Zhang Fei, who pioneered the title of "three-surname domestic slave", in honor of Song Xian, the former commander of the guard camp who was headed by Guan Yuxiao. , said to be of great use.God knows if Lu Wenhou will be so easy to talk to next time.

According to Lu Bu's thinking, the walls of Yecheng are high and thick, and it is not easy to take lightly. Therefore, this time, he did not think of taking advantage of the opportunity to gain something. Some, let some small thieves who don't open their eyes widen their eyes. Don't think that Lu Bu will not be taken seriously if the city of Pingyuan is broken.Therefore, only Jia Xu and Cheng Lian, the unlucky temporary leaders of the Flying Cavalry Battalion, the Xiaoqi Battalion, and the Personal Guard Battalion, were left with a total of 3000 troops to defend the city. Under the guidance of Yuan Shang, the "guiding party" who brought his own dry food, he hurried all the way to Yecheng.

Contrary to expectations, an arrogant person like Lu Bu really did not expect that Qin Xu's previous suppressive action when he raided Yecheng and robbed it under false pretense, the influence until today, after more than two years, There is still such an "effect".Lu Bu was somewhat astonished at the fact that the black bandit collapsed without a fight, and at the same time, the arrogance in his eyes became even stronger.

"My lords, go with me to help Yecheng get rid of the thieves!" Fortunately, Lu Bu still has a bit of self-control, and he didn't make it too obvious that he wanted to be black and black, so he found such a lame excuse , it made Qin Xubai worry a lot.

"Ho...ho!" No matter whether they were trapped in the battle, ascended first, or the personal guard battalion, the three thousand soldiers all looked serious when they heard Lu Bu's words, which were like a slogan for declaring war, and there was a bit of excitement on their faces.The long knife in his hand was gripped even tighter, and it would be refreshing if he could only wait for the meat to be eaten immediately.

Ruxue Cooking Oil, just after the battle with Liu Bei's Youzhou soldiers, only relying on the predicament of Yecheng and Zhang Yan's high reward, the high-spirited black mountain bandit was already born in his heart when Lu Bujun first appeared. Retiring, he was even more flustered at this moment, no matter how loudly Zhang Yan shouted to restrain him, it was already useless.

"Marshal, Lv Bu is coming in a menacing manner. The brothers' morale is already in disarray. It is impossible to do anything. It is better to retreat quickly!" He kept staring at the approaching Lv Bujun. Although he knew that Lv Bu's army was more than ten times smaller than his own, the soldiers under his command still did not dare to take a step forward, so they could only hold Zhang Yan's arm desperately. Persuaded loudly.

"It's a fall short!" Zhang Yan paused expressionlessly, letting Yu Du pull her arm to retreat, and only muttered in her mouth: "A certain family turned against Cao Cao, lied to Liu Bei, and offended so many people. There are so many powerful enemies, even their sons are involved in it, so that Yecheng, Jizhou, and millions of Heishan brothers can have enough to eat! Why? Why is God so blind? Why can they be killed immediately? When you killed Yuan Xi and took Yecheng, you happened to meet Lu Bu? Why did you meet Lu Bu?"

"Marshal, the green hills left behind are here, so I'm not afraid of running out of firewood!" Seeing Zhang Yan, who was once invincible before, suddenly showed such a weak look, Yu Du also felt sad from his heart.It's just that the tens of thousands of Black Mountain bandits have no fighting spirit now, let alone Lu Bu, I'm afraid that when Yuan Xi successfully withdraws into Yecheng later, the Jizhou soldiers who are gathering troops in the city will not let the Black Mountain bandits go well. .Originally, it was only because of the slant of the sword that it was easy to get the current situation by chance and coincidence, but unexpectedly, just because of Lu Bu's arrival, the situation took a turn for the worse, let alone Zhang Yan who had just suppressed the pain of losing his son Yes, even Yu Du felt very aggrieved.But both Zhang Yan and Yu Du knew that Lu Bu's army had arrogance and refused to attack him and others from behind. Otherwise, the exhausted soldiers under his own command would not be able to resist Lu Bu's three thousand tigers and wolves no matter what. Fighting without authorization is of no practical use except to add a piece of military merit to the merits of Lu Bu's soldiers.Yu Du could only hold back his grievances, and ordered Zhang Yan to leave here first.

"Didn't the great virtuous teacher say that the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand? Why doesn't this evil god take care of my brothers? Brothers bowed their knees to Cao Cao's subordinates for ten years! Ten years! Finally waited until today, just retreat like this! I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!" The cruelty in Zhang Yan's eyes became more and more intense, and the whole body trembled in the madness, and he couldn't hold Zhang Yan's arm because of the poison.Seeing that Lv Bu's army was approaching, in desperation, Yu Du had no choice but to be ruthless, and knocked the handle of the knife on the back of Zhang Yan's head, who was already unconscious, and ordered his subordinates to cut off the rear, so that Lv Bu's army could not see through Zhang Yan's face. And launched a surprise attack, dragging Zhang Yan away quickly.

"Wen Hou! The Black Mountain bandit is right in front of you, why...why don't you attack it and finish it off?" Taking advantage of this time, Yuan Xi, who was already closely guarded by the Jizhou soldiers who rushed up, was guided by Yuan Shang. But the heavily guarded one came in front of Lv Bujun who had stopped in his tracks. After saluting Lv Bu, he asked with an apologetic smile.

"Second Master Yuan, right? I'm next to Qin Xu." Not to mention Yuan Xi, even if he met Yuan Shao, if Lu Bu was in a bad mood, he had to ignore him, let alone being thought that there was a good fight, But I didn't expect that in the end it would end with the Black Mountain bandits retreating in a panic, and Lu Bu was upset.Lu Bu was not in the mood to talk to Yuan Xi when his son-in-law did his best. In order to get Jizhou, only Qin Xu reluctantly did so.Fortunately, Qin Xu is the governor of Xuzhou, General Zhengdong, in official terms, and his official position is only one level lower than Yuan Xi's father, Yuan Shao. It is not rude to talk to Yuan Xi like this: Jizhou, who was born with the will of the original ancestors and cultivated the style of the Yuan family, who can be called it, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation!"

"It turned out to be the envoy of Qin! My nephew is polite!" Lu Bu's attitude seemed to have been expected by Yuan Xi. After hearing Qin Xu's self-introduction this time, Yuan Xi hurriedly pushed away Jizhou who was standing in front of him. Soldiers, hurriedly returned the salute and said.Yuan Xi, who has experienced so much in just one day, understands that any aristocratic family and any reputation these days are vain, and only strength is an important criterion to measure the level.To put it in the first place, let alone a "little" governor of Xuzhou, even if it is an official from Qin Xu to Sangong, it is impossible to say that Yuan Xi would not make Yuan Xi humbly call himself his nephew.But now, after witnessing with his own eyes the Black Mountain bandit soldiers who almost killed him, they didn't even have the courage to draw their swords against the ten times weaker Lu Bu army. Yuan Xi, who holds a big banner, sees the reality clearly.

"Xianyi doesn't have to be so polite!" It's not Qin's style to not take advantage of things. It's Qin Xu's style to hit a snake with a stick. Seeing Yuan Xi being so "polite", Qin Xu naturally won't be hypocritical Rejected, and said with a smile: "The Black Mountain bandits are coming aggressively. With Liu Bei's support, their combat power has been significantly improved. This time, this group of bandits is hindered by my lord Lu Wenhou's great reputation, plus the previous battle. The troops were exhausted, so we retreated for the time being. But our army this time is thinking of the friendship of the late Yuan Gong Benchu, and after listening to Xianfu's plea for help, we rushed to help, but there are only three thousand soldiers running far away. , If you really want to fight, heh, let alone that you can't save Yecheng, it will even cause trouble for you, Xianyi!"

"Advance by retreat? Show weakness to the enemy? Or do you have other plans?" Qin Xu's words were impeccable, full of words of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and it really sounded like he was trying to repay Yuan Shao's performance of Lu Bu as Qingzhou. Mu's kindness, but Yuan Xi, who was like a frightened bird, heard it in his ears but exploded in his heart.Repay your favor?Is this a lie?What did you do early?Why didn't you come to repay your kindness when you detained Yuan's counselors and plotted against Yuan Shao?When Cao Cao tried to annex the two states under the guise of the emperor, why didn't you repay your kindness?Well, now that Jizhou is surrounded by wolves, and Lu Bu's army can't help but intervene, are you thinking about repaying your favor?
"What Qin Shijun said is very true, it is my nephew who is rude! My little nephew has prepared a little wine in Yecheng, and I hope Wenhou, Qin Shijun and the brothers will appreciate you. How about going to the city for a little rest?" Yuan Xi accompanied Said with a smile.Although Yuan Xi almost wanted to bite Qin Xu twice in his heart now, but now the situation is stronger than others, Yuan Xi dare not expect that the [-] Jizhou elite soldiers and euphorbia soldiers behind him can live in low-level Liu Beijun who has not been seriously injured. With the comeback of the black mountain bandit soldiers, what's more, in the southwest of Jizhou, there is still a covetous Cao Cao.Given the current predicament Jizhou is facing, firmly hugging Lu Bujun's thigh is what Yuan Xi, who has been overwhelmed by the series of events, wants to do most now.As for the feelings of Jizhou generals such as Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw under his command, Yuan Xi subconsciously ignored them.

"My lord!" Wen Chou opened his jaw when he heard that Yuan Xi wanted to invite Lu Bu, a scumbag, into the city, his expression changed.With Yuan Xi's series of actions before, Wen Chou Zhang Jaw and other Jizhou generals thought that their lord Yuan Xi was fighting with the idea of ​​forming an alliance with Lu Bu.After all, although it was said that Lv Bu coveted Jizhou, almost all the forces moved their hands with their own tricks, but Lv Bu stood still. Even if he came this time, he came in a hurry in response to Yuan Shang's "help".Ling Wen Chou and Zhang Jai, who had never fought against Lu Bu, even had a good impression of Lu Bujun, so much so that the two of them believed [-]% to [-]% of what Qin Xu said before. .But even if they had a good impression, they still believed in the act of repaying the kindness that Qin Xu said, but after Wen Chou and Zhang Jai experienced and understood that they had been despised by the group of black mountain thieves just now, they ruthlessly scolded their own family. After the lord's humiliation, he was no longer willing to believe the words of so-called assistance in defense and so-called joint resistance.What's more, the source of these words is the process of acquiring Xuzhou from the boy Qin who is already the governor of Xuzhou.It really doesn't bother the two of them.

"Entering the city? What is Xianyi talking about! We are here to help you at Xianfu's invitation! If you enter Yecheng easily this time, people who are interested will think that we and the volunteers have other plans Well, you must!" Seeing Wen Chou and Zhang Jai's vigilance, Qin Xu knew what they were thinking without having to think about it.Yuan Xi seems to have become more acquainted with Liu Bei and the Heishan bandits, but as the leader of the [-] elite soldiers in Jizhou and another group of elite soldiers and euphorbias that Yuan Shao relied on, Wen Choutong opened his jaw. In some necessary aspects, it also has considerable weight.It's okay for Zhang Jaw to say that he believes that after seeing Lu Bujun's tyranny, he will make a "wise" choice at the showdown, but Wen Chou is different.Wen Chou had already taken refuge in Yuan Shao when Yuan Shao was still the prefect of Bohai. Before Yuan Shao's sudden death, he was already the same Yan Liang in Yuan Shao's forces and two pillars in Yuan Shao's army. His loyalty to the old Yuan's family was far from mere words Words can change.Moreover, Wen Chou and Yan Liang have a very good friendship in private. Although they are their own masters at the moment, when it comes to the issue of Lu Bujun, Qin Xu can imagine that the two will definitely advance and retreat together.In other words, Lu Bu wanted to win Jizhou smoothly. In fact, Wen Chou, who controlled nearly [-]% of the troops in Yecheng, was the biggest obstacle.After all, even if he entered Yecheng and took control of the real power at this moment, his family would only have [-] troops at full strength. If Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw suddenly made trouble, it would be troublesome anyway.

"No! Absolutely not! Thanks to Wen Hou and Qin Shijun for their righteous votes, it shows that we have a deep friendship with my late father. My nephew has nothing to repay, and I can only thank you with a little wine." Qin Xu's words were extremely pleasant, As if thinking of Yuan Xi everywhere.However, what Yuan Xi heard was that his thoughts had gone wrong.When Qin Xu said this, his eyes were on Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw, and Yuan Xi paused for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he took out two bronze objects from his bosom and held them in both hands. In Wen Choutong's jaw-opening shocked eyes, he brought it to Qin Xu, sighed heavily, and said, "Besides, my nephew has something to ask Wen Houtong, envoy of Qin. Just now, I saw that Black Mountain thief was so afraid of Wen. Waiting soldiers, I think there must be something superhuman about Wen Hou's military training, my nephew has nothing to do, I beg Wen Hou to look at my nephew's father's face, how about taking the time to inspect the soldiers for my nephew?"

This speaks volumes.But the actual meaning was only one, but just this meaning made Lu Bu, who had been silent and trying to be cool all the time, change his expression suddenly.

Soldiers!What Yuan Xi presented was actually a talisman for mobilizing Jizhou soldiers and Euphorbia soldiers!You must know that the reason why Wen Chou and Yan Liang, good friends, have the opportunity to serve as two masters, and even have a high chance of fighting each other, is that Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan each hold a military talisman to mobilize their troops.This thing is worthless, it is just a piece of bronze, but in this era of backward communication, soldier amulets can prove the only ownership of an army.The end is extremely important.At this moment, Yuan Xi took the soldier talisman as a pledge, and the meaning he wanted to express was very clear, so it was no wonder that Lu Bu's expression changed.

Without any discussion on the ownership of Jizhou, Yuan Xi showed the "sincerity" that Lu Bu could not refuse. The picture was absolutely not small, and everyone, including Qin Xu, had to sigh, This Yuan family's second child is really willing to put down his money!
　Been naked for two months. . . .
