Lu's relatives

Chapter 113
In the third year of Chuping in the Han Dynasty, at the end of December.

In the first battle of Jinan Kingdom, the record of [-] broke [-], which made Lu Bu's army famous all over the world again.

The Kingdom of Jinan was restored, the Kingdom of Zichuan was reattached, and Qi County and Gaomi Kingdom were handed down. Lu Bu received half of the six counties and three places of Qingzhou, and his strength increased greatly.In addition to the talent problem that caused Lu Bu a headache, the flourishing development of Lu Bu's power attracted many people's attention.

Because of Lu Bujun's benevolent government when he first came to Qingzhou, the number of refugees on the streets of Linzi has been greatly reduced, and there are busy people everywhere.

As for Qin Xu's plan to appease the refugees, almost all the civil and military officials in Linzi complained about Lu Bu's approval of this move. The food shortage has been going on for a long time, and now it is easy to fill the treasury of Linzi, and it is used on the untouchables. Master Qin must have lost his mind and went crazy!

Even the senior generals of Lu Bu's army didn't quite understand it, thinking that it would be better to increase their armaments or stockpile food to prepare for war.After all, Qingzhou has not yet been pacified, and it is better to reserve more military resources than such a prodigal.

But Lu Bu has already made a decision, and the food, grass and military resources to appease the refugees were all obtained by Qin Xu, and the relationship between the senior generals of Lu Bu's army and Qin Xu is also good, so it is difficult to say anything, but it is also inevitable to hide in front of Lu Bu. expressed concern.

However, after several months of forced promotion, and Zang Hong's ruthless means of disposing of a group of officials who profited from it, some people, especially the generals at the core of Lu Bu, gradually changed their views.

The Yellow Turban was newly attached, and a large number of simple houses were needed to house their families. Refugees who received the benevolent government of Lu Bu, after completing their own tasks, organized spontaneously to cut down the big trees in the nearby mountains. It took only five days to build a new military camp on the outskirts of Linzi. In addition, simple dwellings enough for more than [-] Yellow Turban family members were built.The people's hearts are available, and this item alone has almost recovered the cost. It not only saved tens of millions of money for the Qingzhou government treasury, but also reduced the danger of Tibetan soldiers in the mountains to deter Linzi. The happy Zang Hong couldn't get together for several days mouth.

The city wall of Linzi had not been repaired for a long time because of the political turmoil in Qingzhou, and these refugees who were determined to settle down in Linzi because of Lu Bu's benevolent government, without supervision and urging, young and strong quarried stones, old and weak transported soil, stunned In a few days, the height and thickness of the city wall of Linzi were more than doubled. Even Gao Shun, a great expert in siege warfare, lamented that Linzi has become easier to defend and harder to attack since then.

The act of "gratitude" of the refugees resettled in Linzi in the past few months made Linzi officials who were opposed to Lu Bu's forced promotion of Qin Xu's version of the refugee policy obediently shut up.

Lv Bu's reputation of benevolence, righteousness and love for the people has also been promoted by "people with a heart", and it has gradually spread in the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, and there are signs of spreading outward with the Mi family caravan.

"Qin Xu, let's go buy some bamboo?" After the First World War in Jinan, Qin's chief secretary, who had started to relax again, was arrested by Lu Lingqi and Cai Yan early in the morning.

"Buy bamboo? What are you doing?" These days, he had been thinking about how to sell Cao Ren and Cao Chun at a good price, and Qin Xu couldn't turn the corner when he heard Lu Lingqi's words.

"You don't know that the Chinese New Year is coming, don't you?" Lu Lingqi held Cai Yan's arm, staring at Qin Xu like a monster, and asked dissatisfied.

"Chinese New Year? What does it have to do with buying bamboo?" Qin Xu repeated in a murmur.Come to think of it, it's true, no wonder even Lu Bu, a martial arts madman, spends more time in the mansion than in the barracks recently.

"You don't even know this, do you? Sister Yan, your husband is too ignorant." Lu Lingqi bounced around Cai Yan to make fun of it.

"Ling'er! Don't mess around!" After all, Cai Yan is a lady of the family, not used to such slapstick on the street, and said lovingly, tugging at Lu Lingqi's hand.

"Isn't it just to hear the sound? Ling'er, Zhao Ji, do you want to hear something louder?" Qin Xu suddenly remembered the reason for buying bamboo.The custom of putting bamboo in the fire to make a sound to drive away the Nian beast seems to have arisen in the Han Dynasty. Isn't firecrackers also called "firecrackers" in later generations?Qin Xu recalled that when he frightened Cao Cao back then, there seemed to be more than a hundred earth bombs left. Although the damage was not high, the sound was definitely loud enough, so he said immediately.

"Don't mess around!" Cai Yan is worthy of being a talented woman with outstanding intelligence. As soon as Qin Xu's voice fell, Cai Yan guessed Qin Xu's plan, frowned slightly and said, "You, those things are military weapons. If someone finds out how to make it, I'm afraid it will be bad for General Lu! How can you show it to others so easily? Ling'er, let's not look at that, ah!"

"Oh!" Lu Lingqi's small face suddenly collapsed, she finally found something interesting but didn't let her move, but her father was involved, so she had no choice but to let it go.

"Don't worry, I'll take you to put it away when I need it next time!" Qin Xu touched his nose in embarrassment, what Cai Yan said was not alarmist.Although those self-made soil bombs are nothing in later generations, I'm afraid they can't even kill a rabbit, but in this era, they are definitely an excellent weapon for pretending to be ghosts and scaring people on the battlefield.Seeing Lu Lingqi's disappointed expression, Qin Xu comforted her.

"Really? Then it's settled!" Lu Lingqi, who had been put down by Qin Xu many times on the issue of whether to go to the battlefield, still didn't have a long memory. After hearing Qin Xu's assurance, she immediately smiled.

"Zhaoji, do you think I should visit Cai Zhonglang sometime?" Qin Xu looked at Lu Lingqi who was bouncing in front of her, and suddenly remembered another custom during the Chinese New Year, scratching his head and asking.

"What are you going to do? Are you looking for scolding?" Cai Yan half-covered her sleeves to cover her face, and said with a soft smile, "Daddy scolded you at the door for more than half an hour about the matter of Wei Que last time."

"Who is this old boy surnamed Wei who always thinks about hitting on our Zhaoji!" Qin Xu said indifferently: "Cai Zhonglang is too, and it's fine if you don't thank me, but he still favors this Wei Que, which hurts my New Year's Eve!" You can’t even visit your father-in-law, really!”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Cai Yan blushed slightly, glanced at Qin Xu secretly, and said in a low voice: "Wei is Zhongdao's elder brother, you asked someone to beat him to death at the gate of Cai's mansion, daddy always said that because of his reputation. Something. Didn't daddy ask you to let him go in the end?"

"That's true! Why don't I beg Cai Zhonglang to marry you to me earlier, so there won't be so many things!" Qin Xu gently wrapped his arms around Cai Yan's waist, and whispered in Cai Yan's ear.

"Sister Ling'er hasn't reached the age of marriage yet!" Cai Yan said pointingly, dodging Qin Xu's head shyly, and quickly followed Lu Lingqi, leaving Qin Xu behind.

"Master Qin! My lord orders you to return to the mansion quickly!" Just as Qin Xu was catching up with the two women, and was about to embrace one of them to enjoy the blessings of everyone, a family member from General Zuo's mansion would come to meet him. After arriving at Qin Xu, he saluted.

"So anxious? What did my lord say?" Qin Xu frowned and asked the general who had interrupted his good affairs.

"Uh... I don't know! I also ask Mr. Qin to go quickly! I will leave!" Looking at Cai Yan and Lu Lingqi who were hiding far away from Qin Xu's left and right, this senior general in Lu Bu's mansion As if he understood something, he said with an embarrassed face.

"Daddy is in such a hurry to find you, there must be nothing good!" Lu Lingqi muttered dissatisfied.

"Okay, maybe something serious has happened, can my sister take you to my house?" Cai Yan winked at Qin Xu in a considerate manner, and said with his arms around Lu Lingqi's shoulders.

"Find time to accompany you! Husband, I will go to busy with this old man's business first!" Qin Xu took the time to pinch the tender and fat faces of the two girls, and ran away as if to escape amidst the angry and coquettish voices of the two girls go.

Before arriving at the council hall of General Zuo's mansion, Qin Xu heard the noisy debate inside.It's a pity that after listening for a long time, I haven't figured out why.

"Master Qin, tell me, should we take this opportunity to kill that thief Cao Cao? Let me tell you, such a good opportunity is once in a thousand years. As long as I come out of the Divine Bow Camp, I will definitely win every battle!" Entering the door, a wave of heat rushed over, followed by Hou Cheng's loud voice.It can be seen that Hou Cheng was left in Linzi in the last battle of the Jinan Kingdom. Although he was given a share when the Yellow Turban surrendered in the end, he did not win the battle, which still made this rebellious general think about it. There is a little pimple on it.

"Old Hou, it's your fault! The infantry of your Divine Bow Battalion, by the time they get there, the battle will be over long ago. It's better to let us go to the Guard Battalion!" Qin Xu still didn't understand what to say. Song Xian loudly cut off Hou Cheng's words.

"Our focus is on Qingzhou! Qingzhou! This is just a little bit on the right track. They just beat them! Don't make trouble, you boy!" Because all the battalions of Lu Bu's army except the first camp and the trap camp have expanded to 5000 People, Zang Ba, who has been transferred to be the deputy commander of the personal guard battalion, just wanted to say a few words for his superior, when he was slapped aside by his father Zang Hong.

"Okay, stop arguing! Qin Xu, tell me your opinion!" Before Qin Xu could figure out what happened, Lu Bu stopped the noise in the hall with a big wave of his hand, and said to Qin Xu.

"What's the matter? What's going on? Are you going to counterattack Cao Cao?" Qin Xu asked Cao Xing, who happened to be by his side, who had just been promoted to the deputy commander of the Shenbow Battalion, confused.

"Master Qin!" Although Cao Xing is also an old man of Lu Bu's army, he has not been involved in this debate since he was a newcomer to the core. Two days ago, Nanyang Yuan Shu surrendered the remnants of the Heishan Army in Wancheng, and he joined the Yufuluo tribe of the Southern Huns with an army of [-] to attack Chenliu! All the generals said that the lord took advantage of the situation and attacked Cao Cao. agree."

"What are you mumbling about?" Seeing that Qin Xu didn't answer, but instead whispered to Cao Xing beside him, Lu Bu said impatiently, "It's nothing more than taking the opportunity to send troops to avenge or to rectify Qingzhou's internal affairs first. Tell me what should I do?"

Obviously, Qin Xu was very inclined to send troops to Yanzhou after listening to Lu Bu's tone.After all, this opportunity is very rare. If Cao Cao can be defeated in one fell swoop, then for Lu Bu, he will indeed be able to vent his anger.However, Yuan Shu's trick was too disgusting. In order to grab the territory, he even colluded with the Huns. You must know that Lu Bu started his career by fighting against the Huns, so he didn't even have a good impression of Yuan Shu.The so-called entanglement stems from this reason.

This time in history, Cao Cao's crisis ended with Cao Cao's victory. However, because of Qin Xu's involvement, Cao Cao has now lost his army and lost his generals, and his strength is not as good as before. Whether he can survive Liu Biao's only manly move in history is still unknown. what!However, if Lv Bu was really moved by Hou Cheng, Song Xian and others, and his impulsiveness overcame his reason, and he sent troops to retaliate against Cao Cao's disgusting actions against Qingzhou again and again, regardless of the involvement of foreign races, then Qin Xu could easily pass through Jia Xu's men. Lv Bu's reputation for benevolence and righteousness, which was spread by the shadow of his father, was about to be destroyed once again.

"I wonder what my lord thinks of the Southern Huns?" Qin Xu asked knowingly.
