Lu's relatives

Chapter 264

Riding out of Tongguan together with Fan Chou, Qin Xu still couldn't recover.

Things went too smoothly, which always made Qin feel a little uneasy.Seeing that Fan Chou, who is a head taller than himself, is half a horse behind him in Xiliang, even if he killed Qin Xu, he couldn't believe that it was only because of Jia Xu that Fan Chou offered to stop Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops from attacking for more than a month. of Tongguan.

Of course, Qin Xu would not doubt Jia Xu's ability. The title of the number one counselor of the Three Kingdoms was confirmed after historical verification.But if it was said that Fan Chou was only grateful for Jia Xu's "life-saving grace" to the Xiliang Army, Qin Xu could only smile.There are a lot of people who have benefited from Jia Xu's strategy of counterattacking Chang'an. If it is true, including Li Jue, Guo Si and others, it is estimated that the 20 Xiliang army will have to be counted, but no one has seen it. After Jia Xu "leaved" Chang'an, did anyone go to look for her?

Moreover, Fan Chou used to be Li Jue's best friend, the general of the Xiliang Army who guarded Tongguan, would he be a good opponent?In order to sacrifice Tongguan in order to follow Jia Xu's poor excuse of surrendering Qingzhou in order to repay his kindness, it is estimated that only people with more muscles in the brain like Fan Chou can think of it.
But to say a thousand words and ten thousand, no matter what Fan Chou intends to do, after all, he has already "restrained" nearly [-] people in Tongguan except Fan Chou's [-] personal guards, and only brought more than a hundred people. The Xiliang cavalry, together with Sima Mao, Lao Xu and others who entered the customs with Qin Xu, and the guards who first boarded the camp, opened the door and left the customs, completely tearing off the last fig leaf near Chang'an.

"General Qin, it should be Yan Liang's Ma Jun who came! I really don't understand what this guy wants to do? General Qin, in order not to refute Yuan Shao's face, you kindly asked the last general to pass on a word to them, but who I know, this guy doesn't pay attention to etiquette at all, and he immediately pulled out of the camp without saying a word, just to say thank you, which is considered polite, but..." Tongguan is about five miles away from the place where Cao Jun garrisoned, which is not too long. Just halfway through the journey, Kong Er, who was a guest scout to inform Cao Cao of the news, was so angry that he approached Qin Xu and said: "A mere general guarding the army, with [-] cavalry. I thought I was a character, and my eyes could stare into the sky, so crazy!"

"Old Kong, well done! If Yan Liang is crazy, let's go crazy! I'm afraid he won't be crazy!" Qin Xu didn't seem to care about Kong Bin's angry words, and didn't explain much, just smiled. Fan Chou said: "General Fan, you can probably let the three thousand soldiers under your command go out."

"No!" Fan Chou twitched his cheeks faintly, turned his head and whispered something to the guard behind him, Lieutenant Fen, and looked at Qin Xu with a bit of fear.

"Eh?" Kong Bin also experienced life and death with Qin Xu and was used to it. He was about to ask more questions, but he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him. Come, and Qin Xu and his party were facing a hundred and ten people. These ten thousand cavalry were like a large lake about to destroy a few small stones by the lake. Qin Xu couldn't help covering his nose due to the choking stench of the horses.

"General Qin is really good at tricks!" Yan Liang gathered his horse and walked slowly, like a beast staring at its prey, staring sharply at Qin Xu and others who were tightly surrounded in the open space in front of Tongguan, and slowly came to Qin In front of Xu, he first glanced at Fan Chou, who was beside Qin Xu with a calm face, his voice seemed to come out from between his teeth, and he said to Qin Xu with a smile on his face, "It seems that before It is true that Yan underestimated you, General Qin! Cao Mengde’s tens of thousands of troops attacked for more than a month, and the Xiongguan Pass, which had suffered countless casualties, was taken by General Qin in less than a few hours with a dozen people. , to be able to achieve such a great feat with one's own strength, no wonder Cao Mengde is so scrupulous!"

"General Yan is ridiculous!" Qin Xu put down the long sleeves that covered his nose, looked at the densely packed horse heads around him and the black cavalry behind Yan Liang, and cupped his hands as if he hadn't seen him, and said, "It's just General Fan Chou. Knowing the general situation, I just don’t want to do more killing things, Qin Xu just took advantage of it a little bit, and it’s no match for General Yan, who stands in the world solely by his military exploits!"

Although he was in the midst of thousands of troops, and Yan Liang was at least among the top fifteen generals at the end of the Han Dynasty, Qin Xu was honest and had no fear at all. He even had to enter Tongguan to face Fan Chou's subordinates than before. The Xiliang Army was even more relaxed.In the final analysis, although Yan Liang controls tens of thousands of troops, he is only a subordinate of Yuan Shao. Unless Yan Liang is crazy, and Yuan Shao is also crazy, before the power of Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei occupying Youzhou, it is impossible to tolerate being The impulsiveness of the generals under his command caused Jizhou to be attacked on both sides, and one of them was the army of Lu Bu, the most famous general in the world.What's more, Yan Liang is almost only an arm away from Qin Xu's horse head now. Although this distance will kill Qin Xu, it is much easier for Yan Liang than to get something out of a bag, but the twenty people holding hands behind Qin Xu The guards who had already loaded the crossbow first could definitely shoot Yan Liang into a hedgehog in the first time.It was originally something from Yuan Jun. I believe that Yan Liang knew better than anyone else that he had witnessed the battle of Gongsun Zan's tens of thousands of cavalry who first climbed Dapo with his own eyes.

"Yan, thank you General Qin for your words!" Seeing that he was surrounded by this army, Qin Xu seemed to be only concerned about the pungent body odor emanating from the horses, but for him, Yan Liang, even the one who searched for it when he saw him before He didn't care, as if he was looking at the empty space. This feeling made Yan Liang very upset. He looked at Fan Chou next to Qin Xu again, sneered, and said with a threatening look in his eyes: "Since General Qin It must have been extremely exhausting to work tirelessly and set a horse down to Tongguan. How about letting Yan do the job of escorting the surrendered army? The army of my lord Yuan Jizhou is about to arrive, and the breakthrough of Chang'an is just around the corner. The head of this Xiliang traitor is sacrificed to the flag!"

"General Yan's kindness, Mr. Qin understands it!" Good guy, what kind of heart do the old Yuan family have?At first, he wanted to steal Cao Cao's rescue, but now he has his idea on someone Qin. Is the addiction to stealing other people's things so great?Qin Xu sneered in his heart, but the smile on his face didn't diminish at all, as if he was really grateful for Yan Liang's "suggestion", and said: "But I don't bother General Yan, General Fan Chou and My lord, Lu Qingzhou, is an old friend. If he went with Yuan Jizhou without seeing Wen Hou, wouldn’t that hurt the friendship between the Qing and Ji families? Besides, Tongguan is empty right now. Could it be that Yuan Benchu ​​didn’t tell General Yan what you call a big deal? Is it heavy?"

"You..." Listening to the first half of Qin Xu's words, he was still polite, but later he directly called out Yuan Shao's words, and Yan Liang's intentions could be understood even by a fool.Although the Han Dynasty is in chaos, Gangchang is corrupt, and the court is out of order, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and even Qin Xu are all lords of a state on the surface, and at worst he is also a figure at the level of the governor, but Yan Liang is just He is the General of the Jizhou Guard Army. If it is true, if it was the Taiping period, if someone from Qin, the governor of Xuzhou, could take a look at Yan Liang, it would be considered good luck for his old Yan family.What troubled Yan Liang the most was that even though he knew that Qin Xu's words were full of irony, he still couldn't say it. What's more, Qin Xu's words seemed to have read Yuan Shao's mind. Qin Xu was angry, the gain and loss of Tongguan was what Yan Liang was most concerned about.Anyway, as soon as Yuan Shao's army arrived, the day of tearing faces with Cao Cao was much closer.Yan Liang's influence on Qin Xu's dissemination of the indecent remarks he overheard that night was minimal.Therefore, even though Yan Liang's eyes could almost burst into flames, he still suppressed his anger, looked at the high wall of Tongguan not far away, forced a smile, and cupped his hands at Qin Xu , went on his own.I don't know if Yan Liang wanted to vent his anger on purpose. When the [-] cavalry rushed towards Tongguan with full horsepower, they were galloping past Qin Xu and the others, as if to deter Qin Xu and his party. The corner of Xu's mouth slightly raised, made Fan Chou, who had been secretly watching Qin, nod his head.

"General Qin, that guy Yan Liang is so rude, is it possible that... he won Tongguan so easily?" It took a long time for the [-] cavalrymen to pass by.Kong Bin couldn't bear it when Qin Xu was talking to Yan Liang before, if Sima Mao and Lao Xu hadn't been dragging him so hard, he might have snatched a first-deng crossbow to give Yan Liang "a shuttle".At this time, Yan Liang ordered the cavalry to gallop to Qin Xu and the others as if in a demonstration, but Qin seemed to have changed his temper, and was able to laugh out loud. Immediately, his temper flared up, and he said angrily: "Everyone It's General Qin, you are too soft-hearted, if it were our old Kong, you would have shot him into a hedgehog the moment we met! How could he be so presumptuous!"

"Okay, Kong Er's fool! You actually talked like a dead cat like this?" Qin Xu glanced at Kong Bin's eyes and looked up at the sky, and couldn't help laughing and cursing: "You Just for fun, does it take time for General Fan's three thousand guards to arrange the aftermath? Does it take time for the whole group to withdraw from the pass and leave some "gifts" for that Yan? If you shoot them into hedgehogs, don't you worry about me waiting for these hundred and ten people to be trampled into flesh by more than ten thousand cavalry? Nonsense!"

"Gift? Is it possible that General Qin, you and Lao Fan have some kind of trickery, ahem, is the trick going to work?" Kong Bin has always been a muddleheaded person, after hearing Qin Xu's half-explaining and half-wanting rhetoric, he really couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but ask with a tickle in my heart.

"Don't say it! Don't say it!" Qin Xu said with a smile.

"Emissary Qin! The future is late! Then Yan Liang didn't make things difficult for you, Emissary Qin?" Just as Qin Xu was in a good mood and looked back at Tongguan, he was about to go out with Fan Chou and sneak out of the wall. When the three thousand Xiliang soldiers who deliberately avoided Yan Liang's cavalry reunited, they saw a sudden cloud of dust and smoke in Cao's barracks. Xu Huang was leading dozens of cavalry towards Qin Xu and others, and after that, it was Cao Cao , Cao Ren, Li Dian generals!Even Cao Ang is impressively listed!

"Don't worry, Gongming. Seeing Zhongming's relaxed expression, Yan Liang may not be able to please him! I'd better get there with my father before the guy gets to Tongguan!"

"Wait a minute!"...
