Lu's relatives

Chapter 123: Xi Zhicai Turns the Tide

Cao Cao has gone through strong winds and waves.A mind can be called exquisite.

When Xun Yu just said that he must pay the ransom of Cao Ren and Cao Chun, he suddenly understood.

Qin Xu, you idiot, our old Cao has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, dare to play tricks here, do you really think that no one will dare to kill you?

"It's really unnecessary. We are both ministers of the great Han Dynasty and neighboring brothers and counties. How much does it hurt to talk about money? It hurts the harmony of the Qing and Yan families!" Qin Xu still had a smile on his face. The long-awaited chief minister of the Cao family didn't change his face, and Guo Jia who was watching him had bright eyes. Since Qin Xu opened his mouth, although Guo Jia didn't know much about the secret, it didn't affect the inference that Cao Cao and his good friend Xun Yu were probably fallen. I fell into the trap of this young master Qin without knowing it.This master Qin, who almost got himself involved, seems to be a bit interesting.

"Mr. Qin doesn't need to say much. As you said before, since it is a brother state and county, Cao will definitely not make Fengxian laugh at me for being ignorant of etiquette! All you need to do is to list the expenses of the two of you, Mr. Qin. When you come out, Cao will do what you want! These are easy to talk about!" Cao Cao put his right hand on the table and poked the corner of his mouth, staring at Qin Xu with burning eyes. Fengxian, ask him to do a little favor!"

"General Cao, please speak!" Qin Xu flicked his sleeves, pretending to be bold and said: "My master has always been righteous, as long as he can help, Qin will definitely not disappoint General Cao!"

"This..." Cao Cao didn't expect Qin Xu to be so eloquent, and he got stuck for a while, and gave Xun Yu a wink.

"It's like this!" Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia again, who was beside Qin Xu with the old god, frowned, and said, "As Master Qin said before, there was some small friction and misunderstanding between you and me; follow The two Cao generals went to Qingzhou, and there is one person, I wonder if Master Qin has ever been asked to deal with it by Marquis Wen?"

"There is one more person? No! I have invited two generals Cao in Jinan?" Qin Xu was shocked, looking at the chief minister of the Cao family with an unbelievable expression, but secretly laughed in his heart.

"This? But that Wei clearly..." Seeing Qin Xu's astonished face, his words were so loud that he could not die, and he got a letter from Cheng Yu and an insider to confirm that Wei was indeed trapped in Qingzhou Lu Bu's army, Xun Yu couldn't help but dodge I was in a trance.It seems that Guo Jia's incident made Xun Yu's position a little messed up. Before that, Qin Xu had been emphasizing the affairs of Jinan in a disguised form, because Lu Bu's army indeed only captured Cao Ren and Cao Chun in Jinan, and Xun Yu was still captured by Qin after all. Xu's trick of secretly changing concepts was brought into the ditch.

"Wei Que? Mr. Xun is talking about Wei Que?" Qin Xu suddenly changed his face like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, straightened up abruptly, and asked repeatedly with anger.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xu's sudden change of face, the chief minister of Cao's family, couldn't calm down for a while.Wasn't it fine just now, as if hello, me, everyone is fine, what's wrong?What tricks are you playing again?
"That's right! Wei Que and Wei Bodao are..." Xun Yu didn't understand why he looked at Qin Xu who was suddenly furious and dared to yell in front of Cao Cao. He couldn't decide where Qin Xu was eating. He took the wrong medicine, why did he react so much when he heard the name Wei Que?Before Cao Cao had agreed to pay the ransom for replacement according to the usual practice, logically speaking, adding a guard would be harmless, even though Xun Yu was thinking all kinds of things, he couldn't figure out why Qin Xu did this.

"Xun Sima don't need to say any more!" Qin Xu's face was livid, and he interrupted Xun Yu's words very impolitely. He didn't even address Mr., and said coldly: "Dare to ask Mr. The Yellow Turban giant, Wei Que, the commander of more than [-] bandits in the Zichuan Kingdom? Can Xun Sima be sure that this beast really went to Qingzhou with Cao Ren and Cao Chun, two Yanzhou generals?"

"This..." Xun Yu was a little dazed when Qin Xu asked him so loudly.Indeed, according to Cheng Yu's return, Wei Que did go to the Yellow Turban camp in Zichuan, and was most likely given to Lu Bu by the Yellow Turban Han Guang Department of Zichuan as a "gift".But how did you, Qin Xu, become the leader of the Yellow Turban bandits there?Wei Que, your surname is Qin, you have seen it before, and you "bullied" him at Chen Liu's night banquet before, why are you pretending not to know him now?

"Wen Ruo doesn't need to say more!" Cao Cao said coldly, his complexion changed several times.Xun Yu is a sincere gentleman, not very good at such schemes and tricks, and was played around by Qin Xu, a little fox, without knowing it.But he, Cao Cao, is a master of this way, so he will no longer be able to see Qin Xu's little tricks, and he is not the Wei Wu Cao Cao who dared to coerce the emperor to make the princes.Just kidding, Wei is a yellow scarf giant, thanks to Qin Xu, you kid can figure it out.Who is the Yellow Turban?If you get a little reputation, you will never want to wash it off in this life.If Qin Xu's words are confirmed here, the reputation of the Wei family will be completely ruined in this world of big men who value family style.And the reason why his Lao Cao was able to make a fortune and quickly appraised Yanzhou was inseparable from the strong support of the Hedong Wei family, in addition to the help of Chenliu's wealthy businessman Wei Zi.If the Wei family loses the moral high ground in the big man because of this, then everything Cao Cao has done before may be judged by interested people.Cao Cao's reputation is not very popular because of his birth. If it is revealed that the Wei family who strongly supports Cao Cao has a Yellow Turban giant, then what are you talking about clearing up the Yellow Turban and managing state affairs?What are you talking about sweeping the world, Zhongxing Dahan?If he is not attacked by the princes of the world, his old Cao family ancestors will burn high incense.

Before co-authoring, no matter whether it was always emphasizing Lu Bu's generosity, or releasing Cao Ren and Cao Chun unconditionally, they were nothing but smoke bombs, and the real killer was waiting here.If everyone in Yanzhou really accepted Lv Bu's "good intentions" with a smile on their faces, welcomed the second general back and ignored Wei, it would be equivalent to helping Lv Bu confirm his status as Wei Que, and would help count the money with a smile when he was sold. .

But the problem now is that even if he knows Qin Xu's ultimate goal, he still can't do anything about it. Wei Que is in his hands at the moment, and the evidence is solid. If he wants to redeem Wei Que and seal Lu Bujun's mouth, then he doesn't even need to think about it. , the price to be paid will definitely make Yanzhou suffer from pain and bleeding!
Qin Xu!Qin Xu, your upright heart is darker than our old Cao!Where is this negotiation?It's obviously blackmail!It's still the kind that makes our old Cao knock out his teeth and swallow his blood, and thank you when we're done.

It's really extremely vicious!
At this moment, Cao Cao doesn't have half of his affection for Qin Xu and his thoughts on attracting Qin Xu. He has all the thoughts of swallowing Qin Xu alive!

If you don't die, you won't die!Cao Cao hated secretly, and even complained to Cheng Yu who had already gone to Puyang. Who do you think it's not good for you to provoke?Just to provoke such a little evil star.Everyone in the world knows that Qingzhou is exhausted. It is only necessary for Cao Jun to stabilize Yanzhou's state affairs and replenish good soldiers. Yanzhou is rich and Qingzhou is poor. For concern.But you, Cheng Yu, are eager for success, and after several offers, you always want to solve Lu Bu's trouble once and for all.Of course it would be best if it can be resolved, and our Lao Cao is also happy to sit back and watch the success.But now it’s good, Yanzhou is so big, Tan Qin’s discoloration has changed, and now he is forced to come to the door by this kid, making it clear that we have wronged our face, even the ever-changing Cao Cao can’t think of a good way for a while , what can I do?

"Could it be that Wei Que, the yellow turban giant, is really under General Cao's command?" Qin Xu got cheap and acted like a good boy. Seeing Cao Jun's collective silence, he still had a fake heinous look of horror, and asked again.

"Ahem, Master Qin's words are wrong!" Just as the hall fell into a strange and inexplicable silence, a slightly hoarse voice came from outside the hall along with the creaking wooden wheel.

"Mr. Drama!"

"Brother Xie?!"

Cao Jun, who had already understood Qin Xu's sinister intentions, only appeared after seeing Cao Cao's mastermind, Xi Zhi, and felt like he had seen the savior.Xi Zhi is unparalleled in strategy and scheming, and he is probably the only one who can cure Qin Xu, a monster.

"Mr. Xi is sick, why don't you take a good rest at home! How can this make Cao Cao feel better?" Cao Cao's smile lines almost popped out of the corners of his eyes, but he still looked concerned, and spoke to him in a slightly reproachful tone. Pushed by Cao Ang, Xi Zhicai said.

"My lord! Xi is just a little upset, don't take it seriously!" Sitting on the four-wheeled cart, Xi Zhicai bowed his hands to Cao Cao, stroked his chest and coughed violently, and said to Cao Cao.

"Brother Xi! Long time no see!" Guo Jia, who had not said a word since arriving with Qin Xu, stood up, and said to Xi Zhicai with a bow to Xi Zhicai amidst Xun Yu's bitter smile.

"Feng Xiao is here!" Xi Zhicai's face remained unchanged, he didn't seem to be surprised by Guo Jia's choice, he returned the gift leisurely, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "The old friend came from Dongdong, but he didn't visit Xi, Could it be that you are afraid that your lord Lu Qingzhou will be offended?"

There was something in Xi Zhicai's words, which made the prodigal Guo Jia's face flash with shame, but more firmness than ever before.This made Qin Xu somewhat understand why Guo Jia was resistant to becoming an official Cao Cao at this time.Xi Zhicai is similar to Guo Jia in too many ways.The same superman with the same intellect, the same prodigal behavior style, the same body violated by the envy of the sky, the same arrogant nature and unwillingness to be inferior, as if they are exactly the same two people, it is conceivable that the two It is difficult to distinguish between top and bottom, both a confidant and a natural enemy.It is no wonder that in history, even if Xun Yu and other old Yingchuan friends knew Guo Jia's talent, they still recommended Guo Jia to become an official after Xi Zhicai's death.

"Master Qin is very scheming! Good means! Good plan!" Xi Zhicai was not obsessed with meeting Guo Jia in this embarrassing place, but struggled to get up from the four-wheeled vehicle, and with Cao Ang's support, rushed to Qin Xuzheng Er Bajing performed a Confucian ritual and said: "Lv Qingzhou can get help from Fengxiao, it can be said that he is like a fish in water. However, Fengxiao is lazy and unruly by nature. If you accidentally offend Lu Qingzhou in the future, I would like to ask Master Qin to write more about it." Take care!"

"Mr. Xi is serious!" As for Xi Zhicai, although he was not well-known in history, Qin Xu maintained enough respect for this mastermind that Cao Cao relied on in the early stage, and said back.

"That's good! Xi waited for the old friend of Yingchuan, and I am grateful for Master Qin's kindness!" Xi Zhicai slowly settled on the four-wheeled cart, and said: "What Master Qin said about Wei Que before, Xi already knows everything outside the hall. I won’t say much this time. The Wei family in Hedong is a wealthy family, but Wei belongs to only one branch, and he has joined the merchants. He has already drawn a clear line with his family. The lord, General Cao, always misses the past, but Wei is the younger brother of Wei Zi. Therefore, even if the Shang Cao of the shelter committee is really a giant of the yellow scarf, it is just that he is better at deception. People are not sages and sages can do nothing, believe my lord. This negligence, after other people know about it, most of them will understand it!"
