Lu's relatives

Chapter 226 Qin Xu seeks Tao Qian, Cao Bao beheads Liu Bao

Cao Bao beheads Liu Bao, Ziyi fights Bo Fu

What Cao Xing said about discovering Tao Qian's discord with Yuan Shu is actually not very important now.Tao Qian failed to calculate others but trapped himself in it. Now is the time to ride a tiger, especially after learning that Qin Xu was ambushed and raided by the Southern Huns cavalry on the way, he is eager to get rid of his relationship with Yuan Shu, in order to prevent being attacked. Qin Xu, who successfully held [-] Qingzhou soldiers, and was "approved" by Tao Qian, got an excuse to attack Xuzhou without bloodshed.So much so that just now Tao Qian even disregarded his old age and frailty, and at a speed no less than that of a young and strong boy, he was filled with righteous indignation to start a war with Yuan Shu, precisely because of this.

"General Cao, don't worry. No matter whether Tao Qian wants to fight Yuan Shu or not, he must fight this battle even if it's just to show us. No matter what agreement he had with Yuan Shu before, as long as the war starts, he will fight." I can't help him. How can anyone control the things on the battlefield?" After listening to Cao Xing's analysis, Qin Xu paused and said with a smile: "What interests Qin is that I don’t know whether it will be the weak and strong elite Danyang soldiers who will win in the end, or Yuan Shu’s remnant soldiers who will be supported by the old generals of the Sun family.”

Compared with the quarrel between Tao Qian and Yuan Shu, the appearance of the old general of the Sun family was the focus of Qin Xu's attention.Speaking of which, Mr. Qin is really sorry for the old Sun's family. In history, he used a three-foot sword to help Sun Ce level Jiangdong. Jiangdong Erzhang, who can ask questions if the matter is not resolved, was thrown in the Jixia Academy by someone from Qin who has an upgraded nickname of "Human Trafficker" to grind his temper. Cai Yong, the father-in-law, is very hot, and Sima Zanghong of Qingzhou, who often visits, also has a good personal relationship. It is estimated that the possibility of serving Qingzhou is not small, that is, it is almost too late.In the future, Qin Xu, relying on his foresight and luck against the sky, has recruited so many Jiangdong's pillars. It is not known whether the old Sun's family in this time and space can still rule Jiangdong and divide the world into three parts like in history.

"Then I'll wait... so I can only stand still and watch the tigers fight?" Hearing what Qin Xu said, Zang Ba showed a bit of annoyance on his face, and asked displeasedly.

"Tao Qian probably came up with your idea!" With a good relationship with Zang Ba, Qin Xu spoke more casually, and explained with a smile: "Right now, Tao Qian wants to go out of the city to fight the enemy. In order to ensure the superiority of troops, at least a lot of time will be spent Gather more than 2 people! When the time comes, including the strength of our army, there will be at least [-] people in the battle, and Yuan Shu's force is only [-]. Facing such a mighty army, if you are Yuan Shu, what will happen?"

"Run! That's needless to say! I don't have the military strength of the lord and the brains of General Qin. This kind of force ratio of one to four, I can't be sure that I will win." Zang Ba was straightforward and straightforward. Telling the truth made several people chuckle.

"That's right! This may be Tao Qian's purpose!" Qin Xu frowned and said.Looking at the Danyang soldiers in a group of 30 people, who are constantly gathering towards the south gate, Qin Xu and others have been in the barracks for a long time, so they can figure it out. With this speed, when an army of [-] is assembled, it is estimated that they will eat tomorrow. It's lunch.

"Tao Qian is delaying the time to fight Yuan Shu?" Cao Xing is worthy of being a veteran soldier who has followed Lu Bu for a long time. The vacancy of this troop build-up is to send a message to Yuan Shu and make him prepare. Even if he has to fight against him in the end to win our trust, it must be the most part of acting. General Qin, what should we do now? Do? Or let's go 'help' Tao Qian?"

"What General Cao said is exactly what I want!" Qin Xu smiled and agreed to the proposal of Cao Xing, the veteran general of the Lu Bu Army, and said with a smile: "But Tao Gongzu is not in a hurry, so we shouldn't be too proactive. Let's have some appetizers, and at the same time give Tao Qian a small gift! Let me tell you, can the cavalry of the Southern Huns such as Liu Bao, the son of Yufuluo, still walk? Since Tao Qian wanted to order Madam Cao's father, General Cao Bao, to be the vanguard, he will Send these people to his army."

"General Qin, could it be that you want to..." Qianzhao asked with a smile on his face.

"That's right!" Qin Xu nodded with a smile, his face showed a murderous look, and said with a sneer, "Since Tao Gongzu did the first grade of junior high school, don't blame me, Qin, for being the fifteenth grader. I want to see if Yuan Shu will do it." I don’t know these cavalrymen under my own command anymore! Besides, the Huns are my old enemy of the Han Dynasty. Even if the Southern Huns were attached to them early, they would often plunder the border of our Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. It’s time for them to pay back some interest. Cao Bao Since the general is the vanguard, he happened to use these unfamiliar wolf cubs to chop off the sacrificial flag!"

"No!" Thinking of his former colleague who died tragically, Qianzhao promised coldly.

Just as the troops from Qingzhou were on standby and the Danyang soldiers from Xuzhou were gathering one after another, outside the south gate of Xiapi City, Yuan Shu was confused by Tao Qian's actions.

"Ji Ling, Bo Fu, what do you think this Tao Gongzu intends to do?" Yuan Shu, who was handsome and over forty years old, was sitting in the tent, listening to Tan Ma reporting the news of the transfer of troops and horses in Xiapi City, with a smile on his face. A little bit puzzled, he asked the two fierce generals of his family brought out this time.

"My lord, according to Ling's opinion, the person who claimed to be Xuzhou's eldest son, a pottery merchant, must have lied to us. He said that Xuzhou wants to form an ally with the lord forever, so is there someone who treats his allies like this?" Ji Ling, who is more than nine feet tall and has a mighty appearance, said angrily: "My lord, look at the south gate of Xiapi City, where more than ten thousand troops have assembled without knowing their intentions, and the Acropolis is only two or three miles away from our camp. , has gathered no less than [-] Danyang soldiers, and the leader is Cao Bao, who is known as the number one general in Xuzhou, and he has been paying attention to it for a long time! Although the two soldiers have not changed at present, they must be in the Accumulate combat strength, wait for the reunion with the Chinese army, intend to gather superior forces, and annihilate us in one fell swoop."

"Oh? The number one general in Xuzhou? I wonder how you compare to Ji Ling?" After hearing Ji Ling's analysis, Yuan Shu nodded slightly, as if he was not intimidated by the already [-] troops. Come, asked Ji Ling with a smile.

"A close ear!" Ji Ling seemed to be irritated by Yuan Shu's questioning tone, and he raised his head and said, "If it wasn't for scouting the horse back, the opponent's strength is several times that of our army, and he would have beheaded his dog's head a long time ago!"

"I didn't expect Xuzhou's chief general to be so unbearable, but it's a pity that the Danyang elite soldiers who shocked the world back then." Yuan Shu didn't seem to have any doubts about Ji Ling's boastful words. He sighed, and then put on a smile and said. : "Now that Xuzhou is in decline, this rich land is being spied on by the surrounding forces. I only hate Liu Biao's attack on my back, which led to the failure of the attack on Chenliu. We are in such a mess. Otherwise, I, Yuan Shu, will have to divide the matter of Xuzhou." A piece of soup. But fortunately, it is said that a thousand troops are easy to get and a general is hard to find. I have Ji Ling and Bo Fu, two thousand-thousand enemies, and I have a firm foothold in Huaisi with only a few thousand remnants. Even if they came to Xuzhou to borrow food this time, Xiapi and Guangling more than ten counties were destroyed in response, with the help of these two, it would not be difficult to conquer the whole of Xuzhou one day and sweep the Central Plains!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your praise!" The two bowed to thank each other.But before the two men got up, suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent. Yuan Shu was wondering when he saw a scout rushing into the tent. He leaned over and reported, "Report to the lord, sir. ...The big thing is not good, our cavalry...the Hun cavalry..."

"What happened?" Yuan Shu was also taken aback by this man's expression, and asked hastily.

"My lord, I was ordered to monitor the movement of soldiers and horses in Xuzhou. Just now, there was a sudden movement in the Weicheng of Xuzhou. I risked my life to get close to check, but it was that Cao Bao was offering a flag, and the person who was beheaded was... ..." The detective raised his head slightly, glanced secretly at Yuan Shu's face, hesitated, and seemed afraid to continue.

"Who is it? Tell me!" Yuan Shu had a bad premonition when this person broke in, and seeing that this person hesitated to speak at this time, he was immediately enraged by this person's actions, and kicked the detective horse over. , said angrily.

"My lord, calm down! You boy, what are you doing at this time!" Ji Ling and the two also looked at each other, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yuan Shu, who was about to continue beating Tan Ma, and said to this man.

"The people who were beheaded were very... very similar to the cavalry under the lord's command, and the ones whose heads were hung on the flagpole were the Huns sent out by the lord ten months ago." Seeing Yuan Shu being stopped by the two, Tan Ma saw Yuan Shu, It seemed that he mustered up the courage to speak out, and sneaked out without waiting for Yuan Shu's orders.

"Tao Qian! Tao Qian!" Yuan Shu finally managed to catch his breath long after the scout who sent the order left the tent, pointed in the direction of Xiapi City, and cursed: "Tao Qian, you old thief, I kindly help you, You treat the generals I sent like this, you are humiliating me too much! Ji Ling, hurry up and gather all the troops..."

"My lord! Our army is only about [-] people, and the opponent is three times as big as me, and they have a strong city to rely on, so they cannot be attacked by force!" Although Ji Ling had been belittling Cao Bao just now, seeing Yuan Shu go crazy, he seemed to want to Attacking the city with such a small amount of wealth, he hurriedly persuaded him.

"My lord! The big thing is not right! In the direction of the south gate of Xiapi City, the troops with unknown intentions are playing the banners of the Qingzhou Barracks and the first boarding camp. About ten thousand people are marching towards our army. My lord, please decide!" The scout who had been beaten up by Yuan Shu broke into the tent again, but this time he behaved himself, and explained the matter clearly in one breath. , slipped out again.

"Qingzhou soldiers? Go to the camp first? This, this is Lu Bu's army! Could it be that Tao Qian is really, as Ji Ling said, not intending to attack Lu with me, but trying to plot against me?" Yuan Shu finally panicked. .He is a dude, but he is definitely not a fool.There are no generals in Xuzhou, and Cao Bao is a vanguard, so he can be deceived, but the most indispensable in Qingzhou Lu Bu's army is a general, not to mention that there is a rumor that once defeated Gongsun Zan with 800 people, and then surrendered to Lu Bu Xiandeng elite.How can [-] Qingzhou elites fight against the few people he brought?Yuan Shu is not crazy yet.

"The situation is urgent! General Ji Ling, protect your lord and go first! The last general, Sun Ce, will lead the generals of our army to make the decision for your lord!" Wu Qian still looked confident, with a hint of contempt hidden in his eyes, but a bit of righteous loyalty on his face, and he said anxiously.

"Okay, okay, Bo Fu, I really didn't misjudge you! Don't worry! As long as I can escape this catastrophe, I will definitely consider what you said before! This time I will definitely keep my word!" Yuan Shu said at this time. His mind was no longer here. Seeing that the young Sun Ce was not afraid of tigers when he was a newborn calf, he didn't even ask him how Yuan Shu had enmity with Qingzhou, but wanted to stay and resist Lu Bu's army. Said.
