Lu's relatives

Chapter 222

"To discuss the great cause of defeating Lu?" Tao Qian looked at his precious son who had high hopes for him like a fool. Take a look in your head to see if this kid has pimples on his head besides the pimples on his face.

Is Lu Bu so easy to attack?Back then, the eighteen princes led hundreds of thousands of troops. They were fierce generals like clouds and counselors like rain, and they invaded Luoyang mighty and mightily. Their momentum was unmatched for a while, and they were blocked by Lu Wenhou, who was known as the world's number one fierce general. If it wasn't for Dong Zhuo's guilty conscience, he listened to his son-in-law Li Ru's advice, and did the thing of burning down Luoyang and moving the capital to Chang'an, leaving Lu Bu with no support in the rear, so he retreated calmly. It was a mess, and almost his life was in Lu Bu's hands.

But now, Lv Bu is killed by the great meritorious service of the national traitor Dong Zhuo, there are millions of people who have returned to the Yellow Turbans, there are grain reserves from the two years of Xuzhou Fengnian's tax revenue, and there are resourceful men with wings, tigers and wolves as minions, and the rate is tens of thousands The war veterans dominate Qingzhou, and their momentum has come!That is, in the Xuzhou government office of your own family, there are [-] Qingzhou soldiers stationed at the door of the house. Your pottery merchant told your father to crusade?Who crusades whom?
Besides, Yuan Shu was just a little more polite to you, so you potter thought he Yuan Gonglu had good intentions?What kind of good birds have been born in the old Yuan's family of four generations and three generations?Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Hebei, stole the position of the leader of the princes and alliance, and allied with the princes of the Guandong in the name of saving the emperor. As a result, the current head of the Yuan family was responsible for the vain attempt to establish another emperor!And what Yuan Shu said about the enmity between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao was nothing more than a family matter, and he used it as a way to connect feelings while forming an alliance. Who ever took it seriously?However, you, Xuzhou eldest son, pissed in three or two cats, and even discussed with him to carve up Qingzhou. If you say it nicely, it is called seeking skin with a tiger.Who is Yuan Shu?Previously, he joined forces with foreign clans to invade Hanzhou County, which had already attracted the attention of the world, and was beaten from Nanyang to Jiujiang. If it weren't for the farce that the potters made at the beginning, they might have been wiped out by the coalition forces of Cao Cao and Liu Biao.If it hadn't been for plotting against Lv Bu in Qingzhou this time, there was really no other way to introduce this bold and fearless second child of the Yuan family as an Austrian aid, otherwise it would be bad luck for anyone who provoked him.

"What... what's the matter, Daddy?" The pottery merchant, who was frightened by his father's stern look, finally felt something was wrong at this moment. The potential crisis in Xuzhou right now can be felt no matter how "wide-eyed" he is. Yes, asked with trembling teeth.

"Huhu... You just said that you saw Yuan Shu sent the Huns cavalry to intercept and kill that Qin? It was not the troops of the headquarters? Have you ever seen how many people went there?" Tao Qian panted heavily. In a rude manner, he ignored his eldest son who had already made him give up, and asked coldly.

"There must be thousands of people, right? It was dark yesterday, and my son didn't count them..., or there are always more than a thousand people!" The pottery merchant originally wanted to continue to say good things for Yuan Shu, but seeing his own father glaring at him He couldn't help coughing a few times, and said anxiously.

"Yuan Gonglu wants to pick himself out clearly! He put me, Xuzhou, on the opposite side of that fellow Lu Bu! But he also made a bad move!" Tao Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, smiling as if he was extremely angry, squinting Looking at the Tao merchant, he said coldly: "Since Lu Bu dared to send Qin Xu to lead the Qingzhou soldiers stationed in Xiapi, he must have great trust in him, and he would definitely not send less guards. The strong cavalry, however, are not their direct descendants. They just want to preserve their strength. Even if they fail unfortunately, they can still make excuses. However, the Xiongnu cavalry appeared on the border of our Xuzhou. It has been done, and the next thing Xuzhou will face is the threat of Qingzhou Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu can divide Qingzhou with Xuzhou and retreat, with Xuzhou in the middle. Lu Bu's strength is not enough to covet Yangzhou, so It's really a good idea to sell me Xuzhou for one!"

"But father, Xuzhou is in the hinterland of the Central Plains. The presence of Hun cavalry will definitely remind Lu Bu of Yuan Shu. Don't you have some scruples because of our alliance between Xuzhou and Yuan Shu, and the existence of Gongsun Zan, an ally in the northern state of Qingzhou? Is it?" The pottery merchant had cleared his mind for a while, and retorted his father.

"These words are what Yuan Gonglu said to you, right?" Tao Qian supported the collapsed edge and wanted to stand up. Praise, Mr. Yuan, did you teach you what is meant by "there is no excuse for the crime you want to inflict"? As long as you give Lu Bu a righteous excuse, let alone whether Gongsun Bogui will respond to me when the battle with Yuan Benchu ​​is in full swing Xuzhou's request is those Qingzhou soldiers who are just outside the gate, and the Danyang soldiers led by Cao Bao who dedicated his daughter to Lu Bu to find a way out, they are enough to kill my father, son and others in one fell swoop!"

"But, no matter how much Qin Xu gained Lv Bu's trust, since Lv Bu had entrusted these two Qingzhou soldiers who were in other states to lead him, how could he allocate more guards to Qin Xu's powerful army? Hundreds of Yuan Shu boasted that they were the elite cavalry of the Xiongnu King's Tent, and they would certainly be able to make meritorious deeds with a single blow." The look of panic flashed across the eyes of the pottery merchant, as if he remembered that someone from Qin in the Lishan Valley gave him a hand. His sense of oppression seemed to be encouraging himself, and he said loudly to Tao Qian swearing.

"Hundreds!?" Tao Qian's face gradually calmed down when he heard that the number of Hun cavalry was decreasing, and the corner of his mouth showed a wry smile and said, "I don't know that the hundreds of Hun cavalry you mentioned are compared to 20." How is the Cao army elite? How is it compared to the [-] Zichuan Yellow Turbans? How is it compared to the [-] Yellow Turbans outside Beihai City?"

"This..." The pottery merchant's usual arrogant eyes finally showed some horror.The few "comparisons" mentioned by Tao Qian have all been spread from Qingzhou to Xuzhou. Although Qin's "heavy military exploits" were sensational, Cao Cao, who was a man of the day, never refuted it. It is a fact that the Yellow Turban was surrendered by Qingzhou, and it must not be faked.If calculated in this way, these hundreds of Hun cavalry are indeed not enough to deliver food to someone in Qin.

"That's all! Shang'er..." Tao Qian's face completely recovered, as if the angry old man just now was not himself at all. The feeling of disappointment was so strong that it couldn't be resolved no matter what, and he said lightly: "Let's not care about the life and death of that Qin Xu boy, but this time as a father, he lost his mind in a hurry. Knowing Yuan Shu's ambition, I never thought that this guy is not only for food and grass, but also for the rich land of Xuzhou. He actually wants to use this matter to plot against me in Xuzhou and profit from it! I lost my eye for my father! But this time Lv Bu in Qingzhou was angered, now it is time for Xuzhou to survive! But now that the matter has come to this point, Shanger, Xuzhou has been run by his father for several years, and he has accumulated some wealth, which is hidden in my Tao family's ancestral house in Danyang. It is enough for the two of you to live comfortably for the rest of your life! Your second brother is now in Linzi, so if it is inconvenient, you will take your father’s own soldiers to Danyang to take out this batch of goods. Hide your name and become a rich man in troubled times!"

"Father! Then you..." The pottery merchant who has always been greedy for money, and even Xuzhou, who has his own foundation, often tries every means to poach the wall. After hearing what Tao Qian said, for the first time, he was not overjoyed, nor did he care about what Tao Qian said just now Only for the words of concern from Tao Ying, the second child of the Tao family, his eyes felt a little sore for the first time, and he knelt down in front of Tao Qian and said sobbing.

"Hmph! Why are you crying?" Perhaps it was rare to see his eldest son, who has always been heartless, show his true feelings, but the coldness in Tao Qian's eyes faded a bit, and he narrowed his old eyes slightly, as if looking into the distance. Something, suddenly opened his mouth and said loudly: "But don't worry, Shanger! Whether it is Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, or Qin Xu, it is not that simple to take advantage of my Xuzhou so happily. No matter what the future holds, the current Xuzhou Lord, it is still me, Tao Qian, Tao Gongzu!"

"Zhongming, you said that we will arrive at Xiapi tomorrow, so will Tao Qian suddenly get angry and make things difficult for you, and then join Yuan Shu and father as an enemy?" When giving Qin Xu a "surprise" for Lu Bu and even Yuan Shu, the little girl Lu Lingqi who worried Qin Xu for a long time in vain, for fear of leaving some psychological shadow, finally recovered from the grief of Pao Ze's death in battle. The smile remained the same, but it made Qin Xu really feel that there was something more about Lu Lingqi, but seeing that the girl was holding a small Fang Tian painted halberd. Thinking about it for himself, the more moved Qin Xu felt, he didn't investigate too closely. People around him always have to experience some difficult things before they grow up.

"Don't be afraid, Tao Qian is old and cunning, but he doesn't have the guts to confront Qingzhou directly, to suddenly become violent as you said, and to make a farce of throwing cups to make the world laugh." Qin Xu smiled. Chong Lu Lingqi gestured to Liu Bao who did not "enjoy" the bumpy treatment of other companions because of "good performance", but sat on the horse safely with his hands bound upside down, and said: "What's more, we In addition to receiving soldiers from Qingzhou, he also had to help Tao Qian calculate Yuan Shu by the way. In addition, didn’t this also give him a big gift? Even if he wanted to plot against Qingzhou, he would probably be too embarrassed to do so. People are not to blame!"

"General Qin, we are about to leave the range of Langya County. The scouts report that there is no trace of the enemy within twenty miles in all directions. If we march fast enough, we can camp in Xiapi County at night. Tomorrow morning, at most Chenshi , then you can reach the outside of Xiapi City!" After receiving the first test of blood and fire, the big light bulb Qu Yi, who forged hundreds of advanced soldiers, patted his horse in front of Qin Xu, and saluted Lu Lingqi with a smile. , said to Qin Xu.
