Lu's relatives

Chapter 206

It is impossible not to believe in evil these days.

Just when Cheng Lian and the head of the Kong family, Kong Chang, led more than a hundred elites under his command who had been summoned urgently, rushed to the mansion of the Kong family with lightning speed, except for a few trembling family members of the Kong family, The more than a dozen remnants of the Yellow Turbans mentioned by Kong Chang seemed to have suddenly evaporated from the world, and there was no sign of them.

"Master Qin, did these thieves get the news of us coming here long ago and run away?" Cheng Lian saw that Kong Chang was huddling with his family regardless of any respectable family members, his surprise did not seem to be fake, and he could only hate it. He hammered down the door frame, went to the door, and whispered to Qin Xu who was very puzzled when he came to see this scene: "Cheng has checked secretly, and these Confucian family members did have traces of being tied up, and the bruises on their arms You can't do it fake, I'm afraid that what the old man just said is true."

"Then these thieves are really very polite to the Confucian family!" Qin Xu sneered, curled his lips and signaled Cheng Lian to look at everyone in the room. The Confucian family members who can't see it.I have said that Kong Chang's "acting skills" are not good, but I didn't expect the "acting skills" of these Confucian family members to be even worse.

"This old thief! How dare you fool us? Have you eaten the guts of a leopard?" Cheng Lian, who had felt something was wrong just now, had Qin Xu signal this time, no matter how stupid he was, he knew there must be something tricky in it.Kong Chang, the fat old man, said before that the vicious yellow scarf thieves who took their family members as hostages have all become saints?Facing the flowers and jade family members of the Kong family, even if it hinders the previous friendship with Kong Chang, it is already a great face not to take the opportunity to show off their animal desires, but these people in front of them have bruises on their wrists, but their clothes are in a bun. But they are so neat and tidy. They don't really look like the Xuzhou Yellow Turban bandits who do many evil things, and they all cry so sadly. Is this a lie?
"Old Cheng, you came out of the mansion, and we came to this Confucian mansion in a matter of two minutes. Where did these soldiers come from in a hurry?" Seeing that Cheng Lian was about to get angry, Qin Xu hurriedly stopped him. Cheng Lian's arm signaled not to move lightly, he was silent for a moment, looked at the soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion standing solemnly in the mansion, and suddenly asked in a low voice.

"The government office is not far from the Lishan Gate in the south of Jinan City. Cheng mobilized the gatekeepers at that time..." Cheng Lian replied subconsciously, but suddenly understood Qin Xu's question, and hurriedly said: "Could it be that the reason why this old thief Saying this to me, is it calculated to motivate us to send troops to rescue the Confucian mansion nearby, in order to let people escape from the south gate?"

"Lishan Gate, Lishan?!" Qin Xu didn't answer Cheng Lian's question, but remembered that when he first returned to Linzi from Xuzhou and passed through Jinan, he met Cao Cao who was planted in the yellow scarf of Qingzhou and worked on Jiang's army. The army's stronghold is in Mount Li, and Qin Xu went to visit it after killing Jiang Jun.And I think Tao Qian, the eldest son of Tao Qian, worked out a hunting order for Laoshizi Yellow Turban, and he was the first to tell Jiang Jun who was entrenched in Lishan Mountain in Jinan at that time, but he didn't want to be accused by Jiang Jun of Cao Cao. A lot of incidents happened by taking the opportunity. It can be seen that Jiang Jun has a lot of friendship with Xuzhou Yellow Turban.Well, if those mysterious remnants of the Yellow Turbans really escaped from Jinan City, they would definitely not flee to the hinterland of Qingzhou. Let it go, will he hide near Jiang Jun's lair?
"Master Qin may not know that the four gates of Jinan City are quite strange, not as square and square as other prefectures and counties. Because there is a lake named Daming Lake on the southeast two sides, protruding out of the city for several miles, so the east gate and The south gate is a bit skewed. And because it is facing Shun Geng Li Mountain, it is not called the South Gate, but the Lishan Gate." Although I don't know why Qin Xu didn't order to chase after the remnants of the Yellow Turban, he was so interested in the Lishan Gate , After repeating it twice, he fell silent, Cheng Lian still said patiently.

"Although this Kan Xuan is a lunatic, I have to say that his intention to hide things is really unexpected, and it's hard to guess." Qin Xu seemed to have a flash in his head when he was explained by Cheng Lian. After a flash of light, regardless of Cheng Lian's suspicious eyes, he ordered: "Old Cheng, leave Han Guang, the deputy commander of the Flying Cavalry Battalion, to guard the city. You personally take away the [-] soldiers and horses from the headquarters, and the [-] servants that Qin brought. , holding Qin’s warrant, order Dubo Xu Shang to be the guide of the trapped camp, and send troops to the former yellow scarf bandit Jiang Jun’s nest in the hinterland of Lishan Mountain, there will be harvest, Qin will be there soon, hurry up!”

"Then these people..." Cheng Lian saw that Qin Xu seemed to have a plan in mind, and this time the flying cavalry battalion was the main force. He couldn't hide a trace of joy on his face, but he still looked worriedly at the howling in the room. There were still members of the Kong family waiting for Qin Xu's orders.

"Kong Chang, Kong Wenshu? Is this person related to Kong Rong?" Qin Xu followed Cheng Lian's gaze and saw a group of people still crying in the hall. As Lian said, Qin Xu had already guessed the whereabouts of those yellow turban thieves, and Kong Chang could be said to be of no value. What the old man said when he reported himself to Qin Xu earlier made Qin Xu hesitate.As early as in Beihai, Qin Xu was wary of Kong Rong's release of Liu Bei. Later, Kong Rong was involved in the case of Chen Liu's assassination of himself, and there are also two food fraud cases exposed in Qingzhou. It has something to do with Kong Wenju to some extent. Although many people pointed the black finger behind the scenes at Kong Rong, the leader of the Confucianism, but there is no evidence. The affair of the yellow scarf has been exposed. It is indeed a pity to kill Kong Chang, who is devoted to acting, and maybe he can have other uses.Qin Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Don't disturb him yet, send someone to summon Dubo Sima to come over, leave twenty soldiers for him, and let him deal with it. I will make arrangements with him later."

"Dead cat? If the old Kongtou fell into this boy's hands, he would suffer." Unexpectedly, when Sima Mao was just an ordinary soldier in the camp, Cheng Lian, who was already a general under Lu Bu, would actually suffer. He also recognized this professional householder in dirty work, so Qin Xu had to lament what it means to not go out when good things happen, and bad things spread thousands of miles.With Sima Mao's means, Qin Xu can be sure that it is very likely that this accidental thought will become a nail that can be of great use in the future. Although everything about Kong Rong is just a guess now, it can It would be nice to reduce the threat a bit.

It can be seen that Cheng Lian was really suffocated by the days of having nothing to do for the past six months and could only watch the battle report to relieve his boredom. After the soldiers issued Li Shan's military order, even the normal procedure of checking the military dispatch documents was omitted. If you don't believe anyone, you have to believe that your lord's precious son-in-law is not. In less than an hour, a thousand strong cavalry appeared outside the south gate and marched towards Lishan.

"Master Qin, where did you get the documents for dispatching troops?" Qin Xu, under the escort of Dian Wei and [-] camp soldiers, set off for Lishan Valley half an hour after Cheng Lian's soldiers left Lishan. During the middle period, Dian Wei asked hesitantly to express his doubts, and said: "Dian remembers that the lord did not give this to Master Qin, did you? Instead, I told you several times to watch you and not to mess around!"

"This..." Unexpectedly, Dian Wei was still shouldering this order from Lu Bu. Qin Xu was also a little embarrassed. It was embarrassing to say it at this time after everything was arranged. Looking at Dian Wei's serious face, he also knew that the person in front of him was a well-known idiot, so he could only cough and say, "Old Dian, This is the lord's secret order, just like the secret Qin told you and Lao Cheng before, didn't you know it before?"

"Master Qin is right! Please forgive Dian's slip of the tongue!" Thinking of the shocking news he heard from Qin Xu before, Dian Wei suddenly showed a bit of seriousness on his face, and said to Qin Xu Without any doubt, he said to Qin Xu seriously.

"Oh, it's okay! Lao Dian, what kind of friendship do we have? Didn't you always want Qin to enlighten your precious son Aman? Has Qin ever shied away? It's just such a trivial matter right now, why bother? You forgive me, I forgive you Yours? It’s so annoying! Aren’t you and I all for the sake of the lord, for Qingzhou!” The feeling of deceiving an honest person is really a sense of guilt. Dian Wei said after getting a vaccination.

"What Master Qin said is very true, Dian... be on guard!" Dian Wei was about to say thanks when Qin Xu avoided asking about his precious son, but he suddenly saw a shout of killing not far ahead. The sound immediately made Dian Wei alert.

"It seems that the goal of these thieves is really here!" Qin Xu seemed to know it a long time ago, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.Thanks to the information given by the old fox Jia Xu, the areas drawn are all at the junction of Jinan Kingdom in Qingzhou, Taishan County in Yanzhou, and Langya County in Xuzhou.On the map of this era, someone from Qin couldn't see anything wrong. It wasn't until they arrived in Jinan and heard Cheng Lian's unintentional words that they suddenly realized it.Although Mount Li is an independent mountain group within the territory of Jinan, on the map, it belongs to the remaining veins of Mount Tai. The south is surrounded by Pengcheng, Langya, Jinan, and Shanyang. The three forces are intertwined, but They were wary of each other, as if they had made an agreement. After the Taishan bandits surrendered to Qingzhou, they all turned a blind eye to this uninhabited and difficult-to-climb mountain group. It is really a good place to hide things. It is the output of Xuzhou in two years, and it will be doubled. Find a cave to hide in these mountains. Unless there is an exact location, it is very difficult to find it. No wonder Qin Xu asked Jia Xu for the specific location. At that time, even the old fox Jia Xu was vague.

"Report!" Just as Qin Xu was about to order the whole army to speed up and meet Cheng Lian, he suddenly saw a man who looked like a member of the Mi family galloping towards him, with a rather strange expression on his face, which immediately made Qin Xu's heart tremble. , hurriedly asked: "How is the front? But General Cheng fought with the remnants of the Yellow Turban?"

"My lord, it's not General Cheng, but...it's Tao Shang, the eldest son of Xuzhou Mu, who is leading his troops to fight against more than a thousand yellow scarf thieves!" Mi's servant said hesitantly.It's no wonder that this famous family Ding is like this. The fact that Qin Xu and the pottery merchant "competed" for Mi Zhen at the beginning was no secret in the Mi family. The intention may be to calm the minds of these dowry servants, but it is really not easy to speak in front of Qin Xu, the client.

"Pottery merchant? Why is he here?" Hearing the news, even Qin Xu was greatly surprised, but Qin Xu didn't care about this, so he asked anxiously: "Can you find out why they are here?" Do you fight in these places where you don't care?"

"General Cheng just wanted the younger one to come and tell my aunt that the goods are not far from the place where the two armies meet. General Cheng ordered the younger one to say this and my aunt will understand!" The orderly said respectfully. Said.

"It seems that Tao Qian angrily beheaded the captured Kanxuan rebels in public, claiming that they were all killed, there must be something tricky! Well, they all want to get a piece of the pie!" Qin Xu finally understood why Kong Chang was so anxious at this moment He decided to take the risky strategy at this time, even at the risk of great danger, and wanted to understand why the pottery merchant appeared here, so he sneered and said, "It seems that although Tao Qian is old, his thoughts are It’s already so tight, no wonder you wanted to give up Xuzhou Mu’s position hypocritically at the beginning, it really is a thief who is old and not dead! Please pass the order to become a general, ignore them, let them bite dogs, let’s use the name of training soldiers , stationed around the goods, I want to see, who would dare to make a wrong idea of ​​what Qingzhou is looking for!"
