Lu's relatives

Chapter 230 Qingzhou's meaning is unclear, and the minister remonstrates and confuses Yuan Shu

Speaking of which, before Qin Xu came to Xuzhou, he planned to divide the so-called three-point war and seven-point politics.War will kill people. Although Tao Qian is forced to ride a tiger with words, there is suffering, but after all, Xuzhou is still in Tao Qian's hands, and Qingxu and Xuzhou are still friendly neighbors on the bright side, and they have not torn their faces. Although Xuzhou was rescued in the name of rescue Yuan Shu came in the name of Koulue, but if even one Qingzhou soldier was killed or injured, Qin Xu would feel that it was not worthwhile.What's more, Xuzhou, without the threat of foreign enemies, is not a good neighbor to Qingzhou.

The purpose of Qin Xu ordering Qingzhou soldiers to attack first was mainly to disturb Tao Qian's idea of ​​discord with Yuan Shujun, and let Yuan Shu give birth to the idea that Xuzhou had already formed an alliance with Qingzhou and deliberately dealt with him.As for how many Yuan Jun's vital forces could be killed, he didn't have much extravagant expectations.The [-] Qingzhou soldiers under Tai Shici's command have already returned. For the retreating Yuan Shu army, the Qingzhou soldiers led by Zang Ba and Cao Xing just bit the tail of Yuan Shu's army and forced them to flee. When he saw the lights of Yuan Shu's camp from a distance, his pace gradually slowed down. According to the arrangement that Qin Xu discussed with Qingzhou soldiers and generals before the battle, he began to gather the army and accumulate combat power, waiting for changes.

"Quick, bring honey water!" It's the end of July, and the severe drought that ravaged the Central Plains has shown a slight decline. coolness.Even so, after riding for nearly [-] miles, Yuan Shu, who is used to being pampered, still couldn't take it anymore. After entering the main camp, he saw that the Qingzhou soldiers had been chasing after him and had no intention of attacking the camp. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and cursed with a hoarse throat that was smoldering with thirst: "Tao Qian's good plan is to send his son to gain the trust of a certain person. He first deceived the most elite cavalry under his command, and then tricked a certain I personally led the army to go there, but I didn’t expect that I would use the Qingzhou army to deal with us! Could it be that Cao Cao was frightened and wanted to use someone’s head to sell Cao Cao? Fortunately, someone saw the opportunity quickly and did not have the same idea as Qingzhou Resist with force, otherwise, wouldn't it be what this old thief wanted."

"What my lord said is that I heard that Qingzhou and Xuzhou have a very close friendship. Even the Qingzhou grain owner is also an official in Xuzhou, and the soldiers stationed in Xiapi, Xuzhou's prefecture, are also Qingzhou soldiers. It shows that the two states are not actually rumored by the world. That kind of incompatibility. My lord, you think, even the defense of this state can be entrusted to another state. How can this friendship be broken by others in a few words? And a certain reliable source said that that old thief Tao Qian was actually a long time ago. The one who wanted to entrust Xuzhou to Lv Bu's guy was just Lv Bu who didn't want it. So this time Tao Qian used this strategy to plot against the lord by taking advantage of Qingzhou's military strength. Only by seeing through the treacherous tricks can our soldiers be protected from damage. However, General Ji Ling said that there seemed to be more than ten thousand Qingzhou soldiers chasing our army. Infantry. It must be the end of the battle for nearly [-] miles, and the army is now resting five miles away from the headquarters of our army. I don’t know what to do. Please let me know how to deal with it!” Yuan Shu stayed in the camp His confidant Chen Ji, when Yuan Shu was in a rage, got into the account and saw that Yuan Shu was looking for a "theoretical basis" for his "strategic retreat", which was generally called "fleeing away". When he was an official, he was Yuan Shu's disciple, and he knew Yuan Shu's thoughts very well. Seeing that Yuan Shu was worried about being scared away and being laughed at by the world, he said so.

"What? There is such a thing? Why didn't you say it earlier! I said why there are more than a thousand Xiongnu cavalry, but they can't even take down a baby boy who was favored by Lu Bu because of his nepotism, and the whole army was wiped out. The Xiongnu Prince Liu Bao, who was of great use to us, was also decapitated, so it turned out to be like this! No wonder the old thief ordered his little thief to promise so many benefits. Originally, I wondered why this old thief was so generous. It turned out to be a trick! A certain underestimated this fellow's mind! This old thief Tao Qian really deserves to be killed!" After hearing what Chen Ji said, Yuan Shu's embarrassing expression improved a lot, and he pretended to complain. Chen Ji said a few words, his expression changed, and he sneered and ordered: "Go and ask Sun Bofu if he is back, and ask Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Qiao Rui, and Zhang Xun to prepare their troops and horses and prepare to attack at any time. Old Tao Qian This time, you dared to play tricks on us, and used Qingzhou soldiers and horses to attack and behead my general. If you don’t avenge this revenge, you really think that I, Yuan, are easy to bully!"

"Wait a minute, my lord!" Chen Ji saw that after hearing what he said, Yuan Shu would immediately mobilize his troops to attack the Qingzhou soldiers who were chasing him, panic flashed in his eyes, and he said quickly, "Dare to ask my lord, on this road, where are these Qingzhou soldiers?" Have the soldiers ever killed or wounded our soldiers?"

"When you put it this way, a certain person is also very nervous. Although these Qingzhou soldiers came here with murderous intent, it seemed that they wanted to capture a certain person alive, but they were only hanging at the end of the team far away, but they didn't know what their intentions were! Could it be that you don't want to be an enemy of someone?" What Chen Ji said really touched Yuan Shu's heart.Yuan Shu had seen Lv Bu's majesty since the feudal lords crusade against Dong Zhuo. When facing Lv Bu, no matter how arrogant Yuan Shu was, he knew the difference between himself and Lv Bu.Hearing Chen Ji's words at this moment, he had something else in mind, so he asked: "But if Lu Bu doesn't intend to be an enemy of a certain person, then why is this plan to cooperate with Tao Qian?"

"My lord, don't you know what Lu Bu's intentions are?" Chen Ji said, "Qingzhou and Xuzhou are adjacent to each other, and Xuzhou is a rich and fertile land. Everyone in the world knows that the state is barren, that is, Cao Cao once wanted to swindle Xuzhou, but was stopped by Lu Bu. How can the Lord's behavior of coming to Xuzhou to borrow food and interacting with Tao Qian this time not be tabooed by Lu Bu and used by Tao Qian? ?”

"According to what you said, Lu Bu was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to take Xuzhou, so he would also fall into Tao Qian's plot?" Yuan Shu finally understood the meaning of Chen Ji's words, his face was cloudy, and he had already forgotten The embarrassment of being chased by Qingzhou soldiers just now, he said displeasedly: "This is why Lu Bu only allows his son to be his father's concubine, and the ungrateful thieves covet him, and no one else is allowed to get involved! He is also overbearing. !"

"My lord, don't get angry! In fact, Ji understands that the lord's concern is only worrying about our subordinates having a foothold. Ji's admiration is inexplicable, and he deeply feels the kindness of the lord! I feel that there is nothing to repay! I can't help but sigh day and night, and finally pay attention to it." After thinking about it, I realized that, in fact, it is not impossible for us to find a place where we can settle down and pursue great things, and at the same time, we can join the powerful Central Plains and fight against Cao Cao and Yuan Shao!" Chen Jichong bowed to Yuan Shu and said.

"Oh? What you said clearly understands what I mean. If all the generals have this kind of thinking, why should Yuan be afraid of the Yuan family's concubine, and why should he worry about the big things going wrong?" As for Chen Ji, he was by his side when he confessed. , followed the confidant all the way from Luoyang to Nanyang to the present, and said this kind of gratitude, which is quite in Yuan Shu's mind, and his tone softened, and he said a few words of comfort, "It's just that you know , this Cao Cao and Liu Biao have a good relationship with the concubine of the Yuan family, and they are allies, dominating the Central Plains and Hebei, who can... Well, do you mean to let someone be with Lu Bu?"

"My lord is wise!" Chen Ji's words of flattery that don't require money were smooth, and he said, "Actually, if my lord wants to reconcile with Lv Bu, but can't swallow today's humiliation, in fact, you can do it on both sides. No conflict!"

"Oh? What do you mean?" Yuan Shu felt that he had seen through the situation in the Central Plains from Chen Ji's words today. Even though he was in a good mood, he didn't think about why this person who is usually smart but lacks great wisdom The confidant general, how could he have such knowledge, and seeing that Chen Ji had all the countermeasures for what he was worried about, he couldn't help asking.

"Actually, my lord only cares about big things on weekdays, and I don't notice the subtleties in the midst of the situation!" Chen Ji heaved a sigh of relief, subconsciously glanced out of the tent, and said, "My lord's current concern is nothing more than I was worried that Liu Biao, Cao Cao, and Tao Qian would take advantage of our army's exhaustion to attack, and I was also worried that the food, grass, and military resources currently occupied by our army were not enough to maintain the foundation of my lord's intentions, so I turned my attention to this coveted by the powerful Central Plains Xuzhou. In fact, Xuzhou is not the only rich place in this world?"

"You mean, Yangzhou?" With the foreshadowing of Chen Ji's words just now, Yuan Shu nodded his head in line with what Chen Ji said, and blurted out, then frowned and said: "It's just that you also know that Most of the southerners are rich and well-known families, far away from the disasters of war in the Central Plains, each has its own army, and has controlled the state affairs for a long time, and has always rejected outsiders, and the Yangtze River is naturally dangerous. It is really difficult for us to make meritorious deeds in a short period of time with these troops. what."

"My lord, I'm worrying too much. For others, the land of Jiangdong is too easy to get!" Chen Ji carefully looked at Yuan Shu's expression, gritted his teeth, and said, "But my lord is different. In fact, my lord only needs to send one person to get it." Without compromising the lord's strength, seek the land of Jiangdong for the lord!"

"Hmph! Sun Ce has long wanted to take back his father's old ministry. Could it be that you have also benefited from Sun Bofu?" Although Yuan Shu is arrogant, he is also from a wealthy family, and he is fighting with Yuan Shao for the position of the head of the Yuan family. For decades, to be honest, Chen Ji's careful thinking really can't hide Yuan Shu, but it's not unreasonable to listen to Chen Ji's words, and after the former Sun Ce master died alone, Yuan Shu treated him as the son of an old general. He is very guarded and likes to be prepared, and his emotions are really complicated.Of course, Yuan Shu knew very well about Sun Ce's bravery. Although Yuan Shu didn't fully believe Chen Ji's words that Sun Ce could quickly wipe out Jiangdong, he knew that if there was such a person, perhaps only Sun Ce was there. When Liu Biao forced Nanyang to come to Huaisi, Sun Ce had already conquered Jiujiang, Qu'a and other places for Yuan Shu at an astonishing speed, which shows his ability.But this is also where Yuan Shu can't rest assured. Sun Ce is a tiger. If he is released, it will be very difficult to take it back!

"My lord!" Yuan Shu just asked with a sneer, but Chen Ji seemed to have heard a great insult, with a bit of grief and indignation on his face, and said: "Since Chen has been with the lord, is he He Xinxing, the lord will not know, this time Chen just didn't want the lord to fall into Tao Qian's calculation out of thin air, let alone continue to be calculated by him, using the future foundation as the price to make meritorious service for this old thief, there is no selfishness in it Please, my lord, be careful!"

"Huh?" Yuan Shu also seemed to be taken aback by Chen Ji's excited appearance, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he pretended not to care and said: "This matter is in a private area, you don't have to Say it again."
