Lu's relatives

Chapter 334
It's really a wave of ups and downs.Qingzhou had just managed to get some clues about the adverse effects of Kong Rong's escape through "abnormal" means. Unexpectedly, another moth came out of Yuan Shu.

Although it had been expected that after all this fuss, it would only be a matter of time before Yuan Shu's so-called [-]-strong army gathered hastily was defeated, but no one expected that Yuan's army would collapse so quickly and so thoroughly.

Originally, it was planned that whoever wanted to take the burden of offending all the Yuan family's disciples and former officials, whoever wanted to take the reputation of destroying the rebels and the rebels, would do it. Anyway, Lu Bujun was determined to retreat bravely and make a fortune silently. idea.And since Lv Bu retreated, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Sun Ce's three scheming armies have indeed followed the deduction at the beginning, forcing the Zhong family emperor Yuan Shu, who pretended to be emperor, into a corner, and the matter will be perfect in sight. , From then on, those who get the name get the name, and those who get the benefit get the benefit, don't let anyone get in the way.But who would have thought that when it was coming, it would cause such a big trouble for Lu Bu's army for no reason.

According to the information transmitted by Shadow, it was originally intended to use Chen Ji's mouth to present the "fact" that the Danyang soldiers under the fake pottery merchants stole the artifact in front of Yuan Shu to divert attention.And Yuan Shu is indeed convinced, it seems that he has fallen into someone Qin's scheme.Unexpectedly, the pottery dealer dishonestly carried on the promising career of "scapegoat" and "helped each other" with Yuan Shu, but in order to win as much as possible for Kong Rongtao's incident in Linzi At that time, he dared to pursue Lu Bu's marching army.Isn't this the old birthday star hanged himself, because he thinks his life is too long.There was a reason why he didn't use all his strength to kill them before, but just drove them away. Didn't the pottery merchant really naively think that with thousands of Danyang soldiers, he could defeat nearly [-] elites of Lu Bu's army?Facts have proved that after the potters suppressed Cheng Lian's night attack and saw the "truth" of the fact that although they were suppressed and beaten by Lu Bu from Xiapi to Lujiang, the Danyang soldiers under his command did not suffer much damage. this idea.

Just like a pack of wolves led by a sheep, facing a group of lions led by a lion king, the end of the potter is almost doomed.In just one round, the nearly ten thousand elite Danyang soldiers, together with him, Xuzhou Mu, whom the Zhong family emperor personally entrusted, were captured without any suspense by the Lu Bu army, who was easily defeated.And because Lu Bu was worried about the situation in Linzi, and he was worried about leaving the potters in Xuzhou, after all, the old Tao family had ruled for several years, so he simply escorted the potters back to Linzi with the army.Originally, this was just a matter of convenience. The pottery merchant took refuge in the false emperor Yuan Shu, and it was reasonable for Lu Bu to capture him, but unexpectedly he "provoked" a "strange smell".

Yuan Shu in Lujiang City was beaten by the three coalition forces, and finally led only a hundred people to escape to Danyang under the protection of Ji Ling's life and death. However, Chen Ji, the confidant under his command, deliberately slowed down because he had other thoughts. When the coalition forces "captured" and asked about the whereabouts of the artifact, they didn't care which soldier they were asking. As long as people asked, they would tell the "truth" like beans in a bamboo tube, swearing that it was the order of the pottery merchant. Someone stole the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom.First of all, Chen Jiben was the party involved, and his words and words did not seem to be fake at all, and he was eager to curse and swear, eager to surrender, but many people really recognized Chen Ji's statement.

But when the allied forces of Cao, Liu, and Sun repeatedly tracked down the whereabouts of the potter, they learned that the potter had disappeared while chasing Lu Bu's march without knowing his life.

Things have developed to the current situation, and none of the three coalition forces has the intention to pursue Yuan Shu, who has been severely weakened.Everyone knew very well that the reason why Yuan Shu was hated so much was because he used this artifact to stir up trouble and aroused public outrage.Now that the artifact is "lost", the credit for chasing Yuan Shu, who fled far away with only a few hundred remnants of soldiers, is actually not that great.

Right now, only Chuan Guo Yuxi is the most important, which has almost become a consensus.

There are not many fools these days, and everyone can tell that if they don't have this magical weapon as a base, they will rely on the contacts accumulated over a hundred years from the reputation of the fourth and third members of the Yuan family. Your credit for exterminating the "Emperor Zhong Family" Yuan Shu will be greatly reduced, and what's more, you will be labeled as "suspected" of hiding the jade seal.What?You absolutely did not hide the jade seal privately?The second child of the Yuan family can't resist the temptation because of his background, so who are you?Huaxia has always been concerned about human feelings. We don't participate in rebellion, we just say a few words of justice, who can take offense?
But right now, according to Chen Ji's account, the pottery merchant stole the Chuanguo Jade Seal, so as long as the pottery merchant can be found, it is very likely to find the Chuanguo Jade Seal.

Things got into a vicious circle.Lü Bu attacked Yuan Shu, traveled a hundred miles and half ninety, and suddenly withdrew at the base of Yuan Shu's city because he learned about Linzi.However, the pottery merchant went after Lu Bu, whereabouts are unknown.Where did the potter go?
What is worrying now is that it is not a secret that Lu Bu captured the potter alive.If someone with a heart wants to find out, it doesn't take a lot of effort, and it is very likely that Lu Bu will be suspected because of this.

But the real question is, how can pottery merchants have any imperial jade seals?Everything is just a means used by Qin to blame others.The artifact is now lying comfortably in the secret treasury of Lu Bu's treasury.Suspicion is the original sin, not to mention the facts. If suspicion really comes to the fore, Lu Bu's real purpose of attacking Yuan Shu will be exposed, and the reputation that was so easy to get better will not be cleared away again.

Who would have guessed that it was just to fool Yuan Shu at the beginning, and by the way, alienate Yuan Shu's relationship with the pottery merchant, but now it seems that the "effect" is really good.Not only did he muddy the water, but he also got himself into trouble.No wonder Qin Xu couldn't laugh or cry.

"You mean, the matter of passing on the jade seal of the country, I have to admit it if I recognize it, or I have to recognize it if I don't recognize it?" Lu Bu naturally understood the thorny part of this matter, which is the question of whether the potter will let him go or not. , asked with a frown. "Does Wenhe have a good plan to teach someone?"

Lu Bu still understood Jia Xu's ability, and he was definitely not under Guo Jia's reliance on him.Speaking of the difficulties encountered in Qingzhou several times, almost all of them were solved by Jia Xu's eccentricity and solved by Qin Xu, such as the drought in Qingzhou, the planning of Xuzhou, and the rescue of the emperor.It's just that this buddy is too low-key, and often solves things in the bud, so his reputation in Lu Bu's army is really not obvious, and other idlers only know that Qin Xu has a big-name retainer.And seeing Qin Xu dragging Jia Xu here this time, Lu Bu knew it was definitely not a random move.

"General Lu's words of advice, Xu really dare not take it!" Jia Xu was still silent and low-key, even if Lu Bu lowered his posture and asked, he just said politely, "Actually, as early as General Lu's When the pottery merchant was captured alive outside Xiapi City, General Qin was worried about this happening. But at that time, he only thought it was a rainy day, and he didn't expect that it would become a prophecy."

"Hmph!" Although Qin Xu's plan had made an omission in this matter, in the final analysis, the root cause was that Lu Bu was angry at the pottery merchant outside Xiapi City, and captured him alive, which led to this incident.Jia Xu's words, which seemed to "exonerate" Qin Xu, hit Lu Bu's sore spot, and made Lu Bu angry. He could only wait for Jia Xu's next words in embarrassment.

"However, since things have already happened and the water has been muddied, it's better to muddy it even more." Lu Bu's reaction seemed to have been expected by Jia Xu, and he said with the same expression.

"More muddled?" Lu Bu repeated thoughtfully, grasping the point of Jia Xu's words faintly, but he didn't quite understand, and asked, "What does Wen He mean by this? Is it okay to tell others about the fact that the pottery merchant was captured in Linzi at this very moment?"

"Brother Wenhe's words are very kind!" Jia Xu smiled without saying a word, but Guo Jia suddenly clapped his hands and nodded, "That's right, that's right, as long as this matter is known to others, there must be someone who wants to fish in troubled waters. If you fall into a passive position, it is better to take the initiative to muddy the water, so that they can't do anything. Even if you doubt the lord again, you can only guess about the lord before you see the Chuanguo Yuxi with your own eyes. Simply let him guess! We can completely say that the lord is completely ignorant of this matter! This is just a rumor deliberately spread by Yuan Shu's subordinates in order to seek forgiveness. If someone is brave enough to question what the lord said, it is also in line with the previous lord's intentions. See if it is Whoever makes the first move will be disadvantaged by whoever tries the lord's Fang Tian's halberd first."

"Following the words of filial piety won a certain heart!" Guo Jia is worthy of being able to become a close friend with the suspicious Cao certain in history, and his ability to "deceive people" alone is beyond the reach of others.What Lu Bu said was very comfortable in his heart.Even the bluntness in his voice eased a lot, and he said: "As Feng Xiao said, this matter is just used to test the waters for our army's next move. Well, simply don't ask, Anyway, I don’t know about it! Zhongming, you take the lead in this matter, Wenhe assists, and the whole army is now resting, serving filial piety and working hard, helping this kid to check. If you need to use troops, the Linzi army will choose according to you. Zhongming will write the transfer order It’s okay to come to XX’s approval. But there is one thing, with a deadline of March, XX only needs the result!”

"No..." Qin Xu glanced at Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and promised Lu Bu with a smile, "It's just that Xu still needs a few people to make props, and I hope the lord will agree!"

"Huh? What are the props? Forget it, I don't know! Who do you want?!" Lu Bu readily agreed, and the speed of entering the play made the third-rate actors of later generations feel ashamed, asking as if he really didn't know.

"It's just some insignificant people!" Qin Xu laughed. "Yuan Tan, the son of Yuan Shu! Zhang Kai, the rebel general of Xuzhou! Yu Fang, the leader of the Yellow Turban bandits, and... the lord's general, Jing Jie..."
