Lu's relatives

Chapter 255 The dead city hides traces, Qin Xu draws his sword angrily
Lantian County is located in the east of Chang'an.When Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and drove the people of Gyeonggi to fill Chang'an, the cities of counties along the way were also looted, and small towns like Lantian were not spared. Except for the temporary mottled east wall, the other four walls are dilapidated. Residential houses in the city are even more varied, but under the moonlight you can still see the ruins of the ruins with scorched marks.

"Prosperity, the people are suffering; death, the people are suffering!" Qin Xu, Cao Ang and a group entered Lantian City. Seeing the devastated scene, Qin Xu took a deep breath and subconsciously said.

"General Qin, this place has not been repaired for a long time, and the walls of the city are dilapidated, how can we defend?" Xu Huang surrendered to Cao Cao outside Lantian City that day, and he is very familiar with the surrounding terrain. Except for this dead city, they are all flat plains, perhaps due to the influence of the ten thousand ill-intentioned cavalry behind them. Although they are somewhat aware of Qin Xu's sigh, in the end, worries prevailed in their hearts.

"Hmph, General Xu asked too many questions. It's obvious that Qin Shijun is thinking that we should go into the city to hide temporarily, and wait for the ten thousand cavalry to pass before we come out." Before Qin Xu could speak, Cheng Yu couldn't help it. The yin and yang voice came over.

"Huh? Brother, is that really the case?" Although Cao Ang couldn't figure it out, at this time, Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde, who was quite majestic when he was in Yanzhou on weekdays, could still say such gloating words. I don't know if it's his nature, or he really hates Qin Xu to the bone.

"Mr. Zhongde is really comparable to the worm in Qin's belly. He can even guess what Xu thinks?" If you don't want to hurt people by swearing, Qin Xu, who has been tempered in the workplace for a long time, is really not afraid Cheng Yu, a well-known great strategist in history, didn't feel annoyed at the moment, and said back without thinking.

"You...huh! Such a small skill, even a fool would want it! But I don't know if Ambassador Qin has ever thought about it. If the other party is also tired from a long journey, and the night wind is blowing right now, he wants to find the bottom to rest, and this place is dozens of miles away. There is only this small town for shelter from the wind, so it is hard to say if it happened to come here! If it is true, then wouldn't we just be blocked by incoming soldiers?" Cheng Yu seemed to be having a hard time. Grabbing Qin Xu's pigtails face to face, he didn't care that the crow's mouth caused everyone on both sides to stare sideways and curse secretly, and still said relentlessly: "Even if the soldiers never did what Cheng said, we will do this." Wouldn’t the matter of hiding be like my lord and General Lu’s reputation? Even the impressive achievements of your Ambassador Qin before, it is estimated that in the eyes of others, there will be a big discount.”

"Mr. Zhongde, please don't say a few words!" Cheng Yu's words are too disgusting. Everyone is now a grasshopper on a rope, and no one can run away. At this critical moment, as Cao Jun's only The counselor, who didn't even think of a strategy to avoid the enemy, and was still thinking of ways to taunt and ridicule his allies, even Cao Jun and his party couldn't stand it anymore, and Cao Ang avoided Qin Xu's unfriendly eyes in embarrassment. The gazes of many people, of course, are not fear, but feel shameful, and the immediate speech stopped Cheng Yupo from talking endlessly.

"Oh? Since Mr. Zhongde still has the leisure to blame Qin, could it be that he has a clever plan to defeat the enemy?" Qin Xu waved his hand and stopped behind Sima Mao, Lao Xu, Kong Bin and the twenty pioneers. The soldiers of the battalion glared at him, and they only wanted to beat Cheng Yu violently to relieve their hatred, so they suddenly asked Cheng Yu with a smile.

"Hmph! Never! But for the sake of my eldest son, let's use your plan to make you proud for a while!" Seeing that Qin Xu didn't seem to be agitated by what he just said, Cheng Yu asked back, remembering When I first got the cavalry behind me, and it was most likely Yuan Shao's vanguard cavalry who wanted to grab the peaches with Cao Cao, I was so frightened that I couldn't help but blush when I couldn't say anything.

Cheng Yuben is also a generation of superhuman wisdom, otherwise he would not have become one of Cao Cao's confidants.But somehow, after being scolded by Qin Xu during Lu Cao's night banquet that year, coupled with the successive defeats by him, Cheng Yu couldn't help but lose as long as Qin Xu was by his side. Without worrying about it, I knew that Qin Xu was able to make the most correct choice in the fastest time under such a situation where everyone was very nervous, which was actually better than him. It's about the above, but I just can't help but want to make a few sarcasm, it's not because of anything else, it's just looking for trouble for the sake of looking for trouble.

"Since Mr. Cheng has no better plan, please don't open your mouth!" Qin Xu's expression darkened suddenly, and he shouted at Cheng Yu.I was too lazy to argue with Cheng Yu about this kind of thing at this time, and glanced at Cao Ang who was embarrassed and wanted to say something, Qin Xu told Sima Mao and others: "Dead cat, you are good at this matter, Immediately take the brothers to eliminate the traces of my activities nearby. Old Xu, you send a brother who knows the details of Yuan Jun to find out if it is Yuan Shao's vanguard cavalry. Be careful not to be discovered by him. Come report me!"

"Promise!" Sima Mao Lao Xu and others promised, leaving Kong Bin alone to guard Qin Xu, and a dozen people disappeared in the darkness in an instant.

Because of Cheng Yu's rude words just now, Cao Ang felt a little embarrassed facing Qin Xu at the moment, and Qin Xu's order did not seem to have the idea of ​​borrowing Cao's soldiers, Xu Huang was also quite embarrassed, and at the moment he could only Squeezing out a smile, he said, "Ahem, General Qin, your brothers are also running around all the way. If there is anything that needs to be used by me, I hope General Qin will not be polite."

"Gongming is quite sensible. Compared with some people who speak a thousand words, but have no idea when they encounter problems, they are much more interesting. It is not in vain that you and I had a friendship back then!" Qin Xu sneered and looked at Cao Ang. Cheng Yu, who was staring at the two of them with resentment, said with a smile, "Forget it, Gongming and your guards, please drive away all our horses, and try to head towards Chang'an. Come and find out."

"Promise!" Seeing that Cheng Yu seemed to be unable to bear it, and wanted to interrupt him again, Xu Huang was afraid that his own counselor who seemed to be behaving very unusually would say something sarcastic again, so he hurriedly agreed.

"The friendship between Qin Shijun and Xu Gongming seems to be quite deep!" Seeing that Xu Huang and other generals are so shameless and "helping" Qin Xu so obviously, Cheng Yu's mouth showed a bit of a smirk. He whispered to himself in a seemingly normal voice.But this voice was enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

"Mr. Zhongde!" Cao Ang said with a heavy tone, his face was not very good-looking.I don't know what to say about my father as a confidant. Where is the upright and majestic Cheng Zhongde who strategizes, outsmarted, and dignified?Why are they so messed up at this time?Does it really make people feel a little bored out of thin air?Seeing that Qin Xu didn't seem to care about it, and even looked a little complacent, Cao Ang couldn't help but secretly admired that Qin Xu was able to be the governor of a state and the general of Fenwu at a young age.

"General Qin, the brothers you sent out are back!" Just as Cao Ang didn't know what to say to ease the weird relationship between the two armies because of Cheng Yu's nonsense, he saw that he had just been arranged by Qin Xu. Xu Shang, the captain of the trapped camp who went out to find out where the incoming soldiers belonged, came to the low wall where Qin Xu and Cao Ang were, and said in a hurried voice: "According to the brothers who boarded the camp first, there are about ten thousand visitors. The rest of the crowd are all cavalry, and the leading flag has a big face written on it. Judging from the equipment standard, it should be the vanguard of the cavalry led by Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang, and they will arrive in a short while. Moreover, their marching direction seems to be This is where Lantian County is located."

"Qin Xu, I'm waiting for you to kill me! It's not a pity that you are a thief. My eldest son is the future master of Yanzhou, and your intentions are so vicious!" Before Qin Xu could speak, Cheng Yu blew his beard and stared. Angrily interrupted and cursed, even Cao Ang couldn't help it.

"Shut up!" Before Cheng Yu finished speaking, Qin Xu glared at him, and pulled out the horizontal knife on Kong Bin's waist, and put it on Cheng Yu's neck, and stopped in a low voice.Originally, he had a high opinion of Cheng Yu in history, and some history books also listed Cheng Yu and Guo Jia side by side. Seeing Cheng Yu's behavior at this time, Qin Xu really wanted to split Cheng Yu's head and see this eternally famous counselor , Is my head full of paste?Seeing Cheng Yu caught by the waist knife of Kong Er's idiot, Qin Xu said angrily: "Cheng Zhongde, you are still a counselor under General Cao's command. Can such a dilapidated small city station [-] cavalry? You treat that Yan Liang as stupid as you What! Kong Bin, hold this old lunatic with this saber, if he dares to say another word and miss my whereabouts, behead him!"

"Qin Xu thief, how dare you... oh!" Cheng Yu only thought that Qin Xu was threatening, and was about to struggle, but saw that Kong Er, who had taken the handle of the knife, had a murderous look in his eyes, and the bit of his neck was covered by the biting blade. Clinging to each other aroused a little goosebumps, as long as Cheng Yu dared to say a word, he was about to blow his head off, and he stopped speaking immediately.

"Zixiu, I'm in a hurry, I'm sorry!" Seeing that Cheng Yu was restrained by Kong Er's stupefied, Qin Xu seemed to be okay. More than [-] people who came back from here confronted each other, and Cao Ang, who was full of astonishment, smiled indifferently and said.

"This... Brother Zhongming, Mr. Zhongde is actually too..." Cao Ang also smiled wryly, and was about to say something, but before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horseshoes outside the low wall. The floating soil on the ground was also shaken down a lot.

"Zixiu keep quiet!" Qin Xu's expression turned serious, Ka suppressed the shoulder of Cao Ang who knew he was wrong and was about to speak soft words for Cheng Yu, and hid under the low wall with his body down.

The Yan Liang Cavalry has arrived!So close!He could even hear what the other party was saying!
"General Yan, this is Lantian County! How...how did it become like this?" A panicked voice came over with some hesitation.

"It doesn't matter, this place is located on the main road from Luoyang to Chang'an. First, there was Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and then Cao Cao's military disaster. It is a blessing to be able to survive. Don't worry about it, it's getting late, we will wait Go into the city and rest for a while, and we can meet Cao Mengde tomorrow!" Another rough voice seemed to be indifferent, chuckled a few times like beating a gong, and said loudly.

"Huh!?..." Hearing that the people outside the low wall wanted to enter the city, but was held hostage by Kong Er with a knife, and his mouth was gagged with rudeness, Cheng Yu's eyeballs were about to protrude, and he was anxious. Just as he was about to make a sound, he felt a sudden stabbing pain in his neck, and he froze immediately.Almost everyone clenched the handle of the knife subconsciously on their faces, even Qin Xu showed a bit of nervousness on his face. Could it be that I guessed wrong?

"Wait a minute..."
