Lu's relatives

Chapter 167

In the territory of Peiguo, Yuzhou, there is an army in white clothes and white armor full of killing people, holding a banner with the words "revenge and revenge", marching rapidly across the state and counties, and marching towards the southeast. Wherever the army goes, , Provoking people who saw them to retreat one after another, fearing that their own family would be caught in a catastrophe.

"Meng De, this time my uncle was in trouble, and we are also deeply angry at Tao Qian's actions. It's just that we gave up Yuzhou and attacked Xuzhou with all our troops when the Yellow Turban surrounded Xiapi. Isn't it a little hasty? And is it wrong to say that Xuzhou is completely slaughtered during the chaos in Xuzhou? After all, this matter was started by Tao Qian and his son, so what does it have to do with those innocent people? Is it wrong for our army to do so in the future? It is quite unfavorable to be in charge of Xuzhou? After all, Zhang Kai, who claimed to be the former minister of Xuzhou, looks wretched, looks around, and his words are often evasive, which may not be credible." Cao Cao was informed by Zhang Kai that day. After the violent headache broke out, he has been recuperating in the car. Almost all the military orders this time were issued by his uncle and brother Cao Ren on his behalf.It's just that Cao Cao credulously believed Zhang Kai's words, and forced the nearly ten thousand army to suddenly abandon their luggage, put on filial piety, and make a big fanfare as if they would not stop until Xuzhou was killed, but Cao Ren couldn't understand it.

"Little Zhang Kai, how can I be deceived by him? It's just that the Xuzhou thief dared to kill my old father. If I don't take revenge, how can I be a son of man? Since he Tao Qian and I Cao Cao have a sworn feud! Xuzhou was killed by that Tao Qian The old man governs quite affluently, and the people are deeply favored by Tao Qian. If I don’t say so, then others will think that I, Cao Cao, are easy to deceive. Those yellow turban thieves in Xuzhou just wanted to kill them... ah!" Cao Cao tightly tied the white cloth strips around his head, frowning and pursing his lips as he spoke, resisting the severe headache, his face full of impatience. The confused Cao Ren shouted angrily: "Zi Xiao, you are confused! You are confused! Go and urge the march, and come back to ask after you arrive in Xiapi!"

"No!" Cao Ren saw that Cao Cao's headache seemed to be offended again, and under the unbearable pain, he picked up the bamboo slips on the table and beat his head fiercely. Even Cao Ren, who was always close to Cao Cao, did not dare to touch him It's bad luck for Cao Cao, just now I heard Cao Cao's words seem to have other meanings for what he said before to slaughter Xuzhou, but Cao Ren is not easy to ask about Cao Cao's appearance at this time, so he can only echo in a low voice, with hesitation on his face He went to carry out Cao Cao's order, and repeatedly urged his subordinates to speed up the pace of marching.

"General Zixiao, according to the scout horse sent by the general to Xiapi to inquire about the news, it was reported that just a few hours ago, Qingzhou Mulu Bude Tao Qian sent troops to rescue Xiapi city three days ago with a reward of [-] stones of grain and grass. With just one blow, the Xuzhou Yellow Turban who surrounded Xiapi City and the self-proclaimed Kanxuan rebel army was defeated, and most of the Yellow Turbans were surrendered by tens of thousands of people. Fainted and unconscious at the gate of the city, the city of Xiapi is in great chaos! My lord..." This time, Li Dian, who was highly valued by Cao Cao, came to tell Cao Ren about the matter of Xiapi. He glanced at the airtight carriage covered by curtains with concern, and asked.

"Lv Bu? Why is this thief involved in everything?" Cao Ren suffered from Lv Bu's loss, and was captured alive by Lv Bu in the first battle of Jinan, which was regarded as the greatest shame in his life. Cao Cao wanted to stop fighting with Qingzhou at the beginning. At the time of Hezhi, Cao Ren was the one who opposed it the loudest.This time I heard that Lu Bu, who was unanimously recognized by the civil and military forces of Yanzhou as being fettered by trivial matters in Qingzhou, and who would never leave Qingzhou easily to cause trouble, unexpectedly appeared in Xuzhou, and defeated more than 7 Xuzhou yellow scarves so quickly After breaking the siege of Xiapi, Cao Ren really wanted to go back right now, and let those counselors who boasted of their wisdom and thought they had figured out Lu Bu's temperament hear the news.Just as he was thinking, seeing Li Dian still waiting for his reply, Cao Ren, who had already made some calculations in his heart, sighed heavily and said, "My lord's old illness has relapsed, and I have an unbearable headache, just let us speed up the march and hurry to the next step." In the border of Pidi, I blasted someone out. According to someone, it is important to implement the Lord’s military order. Let’s talk about this matter to the Lord later. The left and right Lv Bu has already made an ally with Yanzhou, and Xuzhou is just an alliance. With Lu Bu's greedy and contemptible nature, he won't just avenge Tao Qian's obstruction of the Lord's father's murder and start a war between Qingyan and Yanzhou just because of a mere [-] shi of grain, will he?"

"This...then please trouble General Zixiao to take the opportunity to tell the lord this matter!" Although Li Dian is valued by Cao Cao, he is not from the Cao clan after all. He told Cao Cao what his intentions were, so he had no choice but to answer.

"Lü Bu..." Cao Ren watched Li Dian go to carry out Cao Cao's military order to speed up his march and reach the border of Xiapi as soon as possible. He looked blankly at Cao Cao's carriage behind him, a look of shame flashed across his face, but he was quickly caught by the look in his eyes. Instead, he murmured: "I'd like to see, apart from using some tricks and tricks to manipulate people's hearts, under your title of number one in the world, the army led by you, the combat power Can it match your huge reputation!"

Even when Cao Ren declined Li Dian's request to inform Cao Cao about Lv Bu's stay in Xuzhou, Qin Xu was not idle when he wanted to experience the mighty strength of Lv Bu's army that broke the siege of Xiapi with one blow.At this time, Qingzhou had not swallowed Xuzhou's soft power. For Lu Bujun, the matter of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou was just a question of when to withdraw his troops and return to Linzi, and it didn't matter if there was any pressure at all.After agreeing with Lu Bu to limit it to three days, Qin Xu's idea hit the old man who showed too much, whether he is the person Qin Xu thought of or not, let's try it first.

"What is the meaning of Master Qin's words? Why can't this old man understand?" The seriously injured old man who was rescued back to Lu Bu's army, after hearing Qin Xu's "inexplicable" words, his eyes were well concealed. With a look of panic, he forced himself to ask calmly.

"What's the matter? Master Taiwei can't understand the words of the younger generation?" Qin Xu sat down opposite the old man in a leisurely manner, touched his chin that had already grown some soft black fluff, and said with a smile: "I don't know where the son Meng Degong got it from." Knowing what happened that day, I thought you, my lord, had been murdered by Tao Qian. Now the whole army is mourning, raising a white flag, writing a letter of revenge and revenge, and declaring that I will slaughter all the people of Xuzhou to be buried for you, my lord! I am deeply sympathetic, but why are the people of Xuzhou so innocent? Xuzhou knows very well that the elder is loyal and filial. When Dong Zhuo was in tyranny, he would abandon the officials who earned a lot of gold and not join him in evil. Do you want to see innocent people do nothing? Did the traitor who killed your family bear the wrath of your son's thunder?"

"You... What are you talking about, what is the captain? What is Mengde? This old man is just a merchant, I don't know what he means! Please forgive the old man who is weak and seriously injured, and Master Qin is busy with military affairs, so I don't bother Master Qin Please stay with me!" Hearing that Qin Xu seemed to recognize his identity, the old man Cao Song clenched his hands tightly, and his cheeks twitched unconsciously, as if he was touched by Qin Xu's words, but in the end he still used his own injuries. The excuse of lack of energy avoided Qin Xu's questioning.

"Forget it, since Mr. Ju Gao is not in good health, Xu is inconvenient to bother you, so let's leave!" Qin Xu seemed to have expected Cao Song's performance, and he was not annoyed when he saw Cao Song's order to chase away guests, and he was still smiling. Said: "Duke Meng De originally belonged to the alliance with me in Qingzhou. The eldest son Cao Ang is also in the Jixia Academy in Qingzhou. It is our army's duty to take care of Duke Ju Gao. When our army returns to Linzi in the future, Ju Gao Gao Gong can then meet with Lingsun. As for your son’s army in Xuzhou this time, it’s not a big deal to be honest! Maybe the boss just heard something from Qian Xiaowei’s office. Although Qin is young and He didn't make much achievements, and only relied on his father-in-law's prestige to earn a living in the army, but he was still able to defeat Meng Degong's [-] elite with [-] remnants, and captured Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun and other generals alive. If Mr. Meng De was deceived by traitors and started a war, Qin didn’t care about resorting to other means, so that Mr. Meng could go to Linzi to meet Mr. Jugao and his sons and grandchildren. You should have a good rest and heal your injuries. Don't make Meng Degong blame Xu, a junior, for not taking good care of the Taiwei. Qin will leave!"

"Huh? Qin...Master Qin, please wait!" Before Qin Xu counted to three with his back turned to Cao Song with a strange face, the old man Cao Song was somewhat suspicious because of Qin Xu's unimaginable words, subconsciously. The opening of the mouth persuaded to stay.

"What orders does Boss Cao have?" Qin Xu was waiting for the old man to speak.Cao Song used to be a Taiwei. Although he bought it with money, he was once the highest military adviser of the Han Dynasty in name. As the saying goes, the brain determines the brain. Out of military sensitivity, the order half a year ago made everyone Qin Xu still couldn't believe that the old man hadn't paid attention to Lu Cao's Wuming Valley battle, which caught everyone's attention.It can be regarded as a fluke once, but Cao Ren and Cao Chun were arrested, and even Xiahou Dun fell into the hands of Qin Xu, so Cao Song couldn't help thinking about it.So although the rather young Qin Xu pretended to be swearing in front of Cao Song that he would not take Cao Cao seriously, no matter how you looked at it, he seemed to be talking big, but in fact he was talking big, but it really made him Cao Song, who gave birth to such a suspicious son as Cao Cao, lost his confidence for a while.

"Lv Qingzhou is really lucky to be able to get such a good son-in-law as Master Qin! Yes, this old man is the father of Cao Mengde, but unfortunately my granddaughter is only seven years old, otherwise, I would have ordered Meng De to compete with General Lu Fighting is the best!" Cao Song looked at Qin Xu hesitantly for a long while, and finally confessed his identity, and after speaking, he joked quite frankly, and then asked, as if he still couldn't figure it out: "I just don't know. But how did Master Qin know the identity of the old man? Why do you feel that Master Qin seems to have guessed the identity of the old man since he saw the old man for the first time? Could it be that Master Qin has seen the old man before?"

"Ahem, to make you laugh, in fact, Xu has never guessed your identity, Mr. Cao, but it was the indistinct words of Meng Degong that you said when you were in a coma, which was overheard by military Chinese medicine practitioners. , Xu just made a tentative statement inadvertently, but unexpectedly, Qin was right!" Qin Xu pretended to be clear, laughed, and said to Cao Song, who had a bright face.
