Lu's relatives

Chapter 337
In Yuzhou, in Yingchuan County, Qin Xu and his party, who didn't know Dong Cheng's plan, were only a hundred miles away from Xuchang, the governing place.I am ordering the army to station and rest, and I am preparing to recharge my spirits and go straight to Xuchang tomorrow morning.But suddenly, Sima Mao, the captain of the trapped camp, came to report that the pottery merchant wanted to see Qin Xu.

"The pottery merchant wants to meet Qin? Well, it would be nice to meet you!" Qin Xu was also taken aback when he heard Sima Mao's report, and said after pondering for a while.

For Qin Xu, the pottery merchant was an old enemy.Ever since Qin Xu met Mi Zhen in Xuzhou for the first time, the son of Tao's parents hadn't dealt with Qin Xu very much. Qin Xu ordered someone to beat him up the first time they met, and even treated Qin Xu The overworked "Yellow Turban Hunting Order" was issued, and Qin Xu's life was about to be taken.

But now, Mi Zhen, who was "competing" with Qin Xu at the beginning of the pottery merchant, has married as Qin's wife. After Mi Zhu and Mi Fang attached themselves to Qingzhou, they even relied on someone from Qin's method of making sea salt to make the Mi family's business route reach the Central Plains. , radiating Kyushu, has become one of the top merchants of the Han Dynasty, and Qin Xu has become a senior official of the Han Dynasty in just two years.On the other hand, pottery merchants, since the death of their father Tao Qian, even though they were granted the title of Shepherd of Xuzhou by Yuan Shu, the emperor of the Zhong family, and nominally "inherited" all of Tao Qian's legacy, but because of their audacity, they thought they could take advantage of Lu Bu. So much so that he ended up in a deep prison.If a potter knows the language of later generations, he will surely lament that the coffee table in life is really full of cups and utensils.

It is different from Zhang Kai and Yu Fang.After all, the potter was an "old friend", so he was not invited to enjoy the special care of Sima Mao.When he was brought up by Sima Mao, although his bun was a bit messy, at least his clothes were neat and tidy, and there was no particularly painful look on his ugly face.

"Criminal Tao Shang, I have met the envoy of Qin!" Not waiting for the soldiers standing beside him to push and push, the Tao merchant immediately saluted Qin Xu, calling him envoy Qin Xu, but Qin Xu was shocked. Startled for a moment.If it weren't for the deep impression on the ugly face of the pottery merchant, I almost didn't recognize that the guy in front of me, who is quite discerning and has a low profile, is the one who dared to chase after Lu Bu's [-] elite with thousands of Danyang soldiers. Silly and bold.

"Mr. Tao is free of courtesy. Let's move a horse for Mr. Tao." The potter's humble attitude and his initiative to ask to see Qin Xu made Qin Xu unaware that the pottery was selling gourds for a while. What medicine is needed, ordered.

"Qin Shijun!..." If Qin Xu was only curious about Tao Shang's actions just now, Tao Shang suddenly knelt down on the ground, buckled his head like pounding garlic, and sobbed all over his face , it really surprised Qin Xu, seeing that the pottery merchant's strength came from nowhere, and he threw away the palm of the soldiers trapped in the camp who were alarmed by the action just now, and was about to grab his arm, lying on his stomach On the ground, Xuanran sobbed, and said: "I hope Qin Shijun will save someone for the sake of my father giving Xuzhou to you! The Tao family will definitely appreciate the envoy's kindness!"

"Huh? Mr. Tao is looking for the wrong person, right?" After a short period of astonishment, Qin Xu couldn't understand why the Tao merchant suddenly changed like this when he saw the Tao merchant's panic-stricken appearance.You know, it didn't take long for the pottery to hide the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom.Although it was almost an open secret by all parties, the pottery merchant was captured alive by Lu Bu when he was chasing Lu Bu, so there is no reason to know such things.What's more, what the pottery merchant said was accurate to a part of what Qin Xu planned to do next, which naturally made Qin Xu feel uneasy that things were going too smoothly.

"The criminals were tempted by others and attached to the rebels who wanted to usurp the country. The younger brothers of the criminals were deceived by the traitors and were convicted by Marquis Lu Wen. Although my Tao family is not a generation of ministers, it is also a good family. I also hope that Qin Shijun For the sake of my father's sincerity, I will leave a line of incense for the Tao family!" Qin Xu really couldn't understand why the Tao merchant suddenly changed his previous arrogance and arrogance, and even after being captured alive by Lu Bu, he remained indifferent. Like, on the contrary, he became more life-threatening.

"Zhongming, there is news from Xuchang. Hey, do you have guests?" Qin Xu is not a local "indigenous" after all, and it is really hard to understand why the potters were so arrogant before, but after approaching Xuchang, they suddenly changed. .While he was wondering, he suddenly saw Guo Jia, who was full of contemplation, rushing in from outside the tent. He was taken aback when he saw the pottery merchant kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and then changed into his usual idle and lazy look, smiling. Said.

"Xuchang? Dead cat, you take the potter out first." Ever since Qin Xu entered the border of Yingchuan County, he didn't know where it came from. He always felt that something was going to happen, so he left the sun There was still some time before the mountain fell, so the army was camped in the name of rest.After hearing what Guo Jia said this time, Qin Xu immediately ordered the pottery merchant, who had become like his second brother Tao Ying, to be taken out, and asked Guo Jia, "Don't be joking about Fengxiao, could it be that he got some news from Xuchang?" ?”

"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Guo Jia smiled and played Qin Xu's trick in Lu Bu's mansion that day.

"Uh...then let's hear the bad news first!" Qin Xu didn't expect that Guo Jia was also a non-big man who is not a mainstream figure who accepts new things very quickly, and there is no pressure to pirate, so he can only helplessly He laughed and said.

"The bad news is..." Guo Jia also played tricks on the key points like Qin Xu. Seeing Qin Xu rolling his eyes, he said with a smile: "According to the report from the scouts I sent to Xuchang, the city of Xuchang is full of people now. There are rumors on the street that Master Qin brought a thief who stole artifacts to Xuchang this time. The emperor was overjoyed. He followed Uncle Dong Guo’s suggestion and prepared to receive you Zhongming tomorrow with the highest standard of reception etiquette. Moreover, the emperor even issued a special edict. Order, order all civil and military officials in the court, including the great general Cao Cao, to drive thirty miles out of the city with Emperor Luan to meet them."

"Huh? This is really bad news!" Qin Xu smiled wryly when he heard the words. As early as the pottery merchant suddenly changed his face, Qin Xu felt that something might happen. It was fulfilled.At this point, Qin Xu looked at Guo Jia's unhurried look, and suddenly felt that there was such a great god by his side, so he was really worried for nothing. He laughed at himself and asked Guo Jia: "Now that Dong Cheng is at this juncture. It is really a good idea to encourage the emperor to spread the news with such fanfare. In this way, the plan we have agreed to use the relationship between the potter and Tao Ying halfway to create opportunities for the potter to escape to muddy the muddy water is likely to be wrong. It's about to fail. It seems that Qin had underestimated him before. I just don't know what is the good news that Feng Xiao said next?"

"The good news is that although it is inconvenient for us to be accused of lax security and order the soldiers to let go of the potters, we can still follow the plan and follow the original plan, but we can change it a little, but it is still a good strategy. " Guo Jia looked at Qin Xu's changing expression with a smile, took off the wine gourd on his waist and took a sip, and the aroma of wine immediately dispersed in the military tent.

"Change?" Hearing what Guo Jia said, Qin Xu seemed to have a faint understanding, and asked: "How to change? Could it be that he didn't take the initiative to let the pottery go, but..., it must be, Dong Cheng is the uncle of the country, although he has a General Chaqi has a false name, but even if the emperor trusts him, he will not give him military power, and because of Dong Zhuo's incident, only Dong Chengtong and Dong Guiren's father and daughter are left in the Dong family, and there is nothing to entrust. My friends in the military power, this plan doesn’t work.”

"General Qin is really talented!" I don't know when Guo Jia learned this outrageous compliment from Jia Xu. He carefully plugged the wine gourd and checked it carefully. Hanging on his waist, he waved his sleeves and pointed to the southwest direction, and said to Qin Xu with a smile: "But General Qin's words are not good. After all, Dong Cheng is a man of dozens of years old. Quill, there are always one or two friends..."

"You mean Li Jue and Guo Si? No way!" Seeing that Guo Jia had caught the attention of those two, Qin Xu retorted almost subconsciously: "Since the two thieves went to Nanyang, they have always kept their guard. It seems that they are ignoring the disputes of the surrounding forces, and sticking to Wuguan's idea, so why would they come to this muddy water? Besides, the two thieves and Dong Cheng...eh..."

Qin Xu was talking, and suddenly from Guo Jia's faint smile, he remembered the first person in history who sent the emperor back to Luoyang after the two thieves stopped their troops. Isn't this the uncle of the country?Moreover, there was Dong Cheng in Chang'an at that time, even though the two thieves occupied Chang'an but when they were fighting, they still obeyed Liu Xie's coordination for a period of time, and it seemed that Dong Cheng was the one who stepped forward.It can't be said that when Qin Xu rescued him earlier, Dong Cheng ran among the defeated Xiliang soldiers independently (independently) of all officials, in order to persuade the two thieves to let the emperor go.It took a lot of effort, maybe he was already a little nervous, but was cut off halfway by Qin Xu, no wonder he wanted to kill Qin Xu to avenge the hatred of that day.

"Dong Cheng was born in the Dong family in the east of the river, and he is of the same clan as the traitor Dong Zhuo, so he also has a deep friendship with the Xiliang army. And because he is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dong, he used to have a lot of say in the courtiers. I am waiting here No one will know about the news, so the Xiliang cavalry is the only one who can suddenly kill a cavalry that is as powerful as us and rob the pottery merchant." Guo Jia's eyes flashed a few times. With the light of wisdom, his face was a little red because of drinking a few sips of wine, and he talked with Qin Xu, and said: "Besides, although the two thieves Li and Guo's Xiliang iron cavalry did not join in this 'grand event' to destroy Yuan Shu. , and seems to have some discord with Yuan Shu, but the temptation of passing on the jade seal of the country is enough to make anyone crazy. As for how to deal with the aftermath, how to "return" this great gift to Dong Cheng, it is necessary to wait until seeing Dong Cheng After that, it will be dealt with randomly."

"What Feng Xiao said is very reasonable!" Qin Xu looked at the direction leading to Xuchang, a hundred miles away, nodded with a smile, straightened his face, and said to the outside account: "Come here, just send the pottery merchant Go back to the residence, even if he said that Qin will definitely think about it carefully tonight. Then I will go to preach Qu Yi, lead Zhao, and Sima Mao three times to see you!"

"promise!"
