Lu's relatives

Chapter 34
What?help?

Who calls for help?What help?

Qin Xu's words immediately plunged the entire military camp into a deathly silence.Everyone's eyes turned back and forth on Qin Xu and Xu You.

What's the situation?help?Are you kidding me?
In the eyes of all the generals in the tent, the black mountain bandits plundered Hanoi. This was the news that Zhang Yang's scouts found out, and it was less than a hundred miles away from Hanoi.Xu You had already arrived in Hanoi four or five days ago, and sent Yuan Shao's "consolation" military supplies.Coincidentally, he learned of the news of the Black Mountain Bandit's attack, and worked hard to help them find a way to defeat the enemy. What a wonderful person!
But Qin Xu actually said that Xu You came to ask for help?
How is this possible?Mr. Xu will definitely refute this boy's raving words to the point of utter destruction!This was almost the unanimous thought in the hearts of all the generals in Hanoi, even Zhang Yang was not spared, and his eyes were full of inquiries when he looked at Lu Bu.

However, Mr. Xu You and Xu Ziyuan, the confidant of Yuan Benchu, the Mu of Jizhou and the hero of Hebei, did not appreciate the hope of the generals in Hanoi.

Interrupted by Qin Xu's flirty words in anger, Xu You looked like a cock that had been strangled, with his mouth tightly pursed, his eyes protruding, and he looked unbelievable, watching him standing in the middle of the military tent taking a rest. Qin Xu.

This Mr. Xu, who is highly respected by the generals in Hanoi, is not only not good at acting, it seems that his psychological quality also needs to be tempered.Qin Xu really couldn't compare this middle-aged scribe who put all his worries on his face with Xu You, who made his wife greet Cao Cao barefoot, explained Cao Cao's dilemma with a single word, and sold the whole of Hebei to Cao Cao.

But after thinking about it again, Xu You sold it to Cao Cao with the victory and defeat of the Battle of Guandu and the life and death of the Yuan family as bargaining chips. , and lost his life, really wronged.

Xu You didn't know that Qin Xu had equated him with the bully in his heart, but it didn't prevent him from being shocked by Qin Xu's source of information.

Indeed, the purpose of Xu You's visit here is not only to win over Hanoi generals and strengthen control over Zhang Yang, but also a secret purpose is to ask for help!
Help!Yuan Shao, the overlord of Hebei, would ask for help from Zhang Yang, a mere prefect of Hanoi, who would often use it to make a round and flatten him!What an ironic thing, what a ridiculous fact, no one would believe it.But it is the truth!

According to Yuan Shao's secret letter obtained by Xu You, Yuan Shao led his troops to fight Gongsun Zan at the beginning of the year; although he won a complete victory at the beginning, he was ambushed and defeated in the Panhe Camp at Jieqiao in the end.Although the loss was not large, it gave Gongsun Zan a chance to breathe, forcing Yuan Shao to defend Nanpi in order to fight again.

But at this time, the main force of the Heishan bandits who had been entrenched in the area of ​​Youzhou, Bingzhou, got the news of Yuan Shao's defeat from nowhere, and raised their troops to attack.

The state boundary between Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou is the Taihang Mountains. The mountains are high, the valleys are deep, the roads are dangerous, and the end is easy to defend but difficult to attack.Not to mention extermination, because Yuan Shao led troops outside, Jizhou was slightly insufficient even for defense.Fortunately, Yuan Shao's advisers were still united at this time, and calculated the key defenses of several strongholds that the black bandits could easily break through. After several attacks and defenses, they could barely keep the border.

I don't know why Zhang Yan, the leader of Montenegro, went crazy. According to the spies, after almost all the remaining troops in Jizhou were deployed for defense, Zhang Yan actually left a small number of troops to entangle with the defenders of Jizhou. He personally led the army and detoured through Huguan Enter Hanoi.All ghosts knew that this was Zhang Yan's idea of ​​going west and north to attack Yuan Shao's base camp in Ye City, but he had no soldiers to send, and temporarily calling back the guards scattered in various strongholds was even more idiotic.

In desperation, it happened that after the chaos in Chang'an, Lu Bu went to Hanoi, and the advisers came up with this "ingenious plan" to exterminate the black bandits with the help of Zhang Yang and Lu Bu.

Xu You took advantage of the fact that the news of the Heishan bandits had not spread on a large scale, and made a detour to enter Hanoi ahead of time. It was already almost a success to convince Zhang Yang and others that the Heishan bandits were targeting Hanoi County, even if it was Lu Bu. What changed the idea of ​​marrying Yuan Shao, and because of the relationship with Zhang Yang and the price Yuan Shao offered, he agreed to surprise the Black Mountain Army.It was only then that they decided to hold this military meeting, but they never expected that such a thing as Qin Xu would appear.

Not only did he fill himself with confidence with just a few words, Xu You, who was complacent about the success of fooling Hanoi's generals this time, was in a mess, and at the end he even stated Xu You's true purpose for coming here.

The generals in Hanoi are actually more willing to believe Xu You. As long as Xu You opens his mouth to refute Qin Xu, a hairless yellow-mouthed boy, they will definitely carry forward the spirit of beating the dog in the water and take the opportunity to laugh at Lu Bujun.Some people even thought about how to ridicule Lu Bu.Just waiting for Xu You to give them this opportunity so that they can severely humiliate this jackal who wears the skin of the world's most fierce general without worrying about their lives.

However, they were disappointed.Xu You's behavior can be seen even by a blind person. What Qin Xu said is true, and the Hanoi generals' complaints against Xu You have also risen to the next level.At any rate, you are also a famous scholar in Hebei, one of the best counselors under Yuan Gong, and no matter how good your eloquence is, at least this city should have some, right?If you praise you a few words, you will be effervescent, but if you get a word from this child, you will be dumbfounded. This, this, this is too misleading, isn't it?

Regardless of the resentment of the generals in Hanoi, Zhang Yang also couldn't laugh or cry at Xu You's behavior.This time Xu You was planted.Not only did he make a name for this strange young master, but also served as a stepping stone, and indirectly offended Lu Bu severely.

What does it mean that the master is a character like a pig and a dog?This is said casually on weekdays, because Xu You's status is noble and special, and it's okay for people in the army not to have the same knowledge as him.But can this be said in front of Lu Bu?

Most of the generals here are from the former Ding Yuan army, who doesn't know who's background?What did Lu Bu do before?That was Ding Yuan's marching chief when he was stationed in Hanoi. Although everyone knew what Xu You said was aimed at this little master who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, no matter who he was, there was a feeling that Xu You was pointing at him. The feeling of the monk scolding the bald donkey.

"The thing turned out to be like this? Then what should we do next? Yuan Benchu ​​has an alliance with a certain person, so he has to save him. As for how to rescue him, I don't know what Qin Master has to teach Yang?" Zhang Yang deserves the title of good old man.Seeing that Xu You's face was blue and purple, and he wanted to vomit blood for three liters and pass out, only this gentle prefect of Hanoi could come out and say a few words.Regarding Qin Xu, when Lu Bu heard about Qin Xu's illness and regained his horse galloping, Zhang Yang felt that this master book was unusual, and his words were quite polite.

"Prefect Zhang, Qin Xu is young, and he really has no good strategy to show the lords. It is all up to my lord, General Lu, to decide!" Qin Xu accepts as soon as he sees a deal, he comes coolly, scolds comfortably, and accepts naturally.Xu You gritted his teeth and hated this behavior, but there was nothing he could do.

What can be done? The "treacherous trick" was seen through, and a yellow-mouthed child pointed his nose like this and said that he needed to read the book again. He lost his face from Yecheng to Hanoi, what else could Xu You do?
Fortunately, Zhang Yang, a good man, was willing to send troops to attack Heishan to save Yecheng after Qin Xu saw through Xu You's strategy.

The seeds that were so easily planted in the hearts of the generals in Hanoi were uprooted by Qin Xu before they germinated, and it would take several times more effort to create Yuan Shao's absolute power.

Xu You really hated Qin Xu, but there was nothing he could do.This is Hanoi, not Yecheng. Although Zhang Yang is Yuan Shao's dish, Xu You dare not be too arrogant to ask Zhang Yang to help him avenge him, let alone Zhang Yang has agreed to send troops.

As for Lu Bu?Lv Bu had already given his old friend Zhang Yang a lot of face by not killing him on the spot.Seeing Lv Bu's livid face and the murderous look in his eyes, Xu You did not express any hope for whether Lv Bu would be able to follow Zhang Yang.

"Fengxian, what do you think about this matter?" Although Zhang Yang agreed to send troops, he also knew that with only a few pieces of material under his command, he could still have a fight under the condition of equal strength, but the Black Mountain Army brought [-] soldiers. The army used Hanoi to attack Yecheng, and it was a blessing to be able to keep Hanoi from being dealt with by the Black Mountain Army. If they really wanted to rescue Yecheng, they had to ask Lu Bu to help.

"Wen Yuan, what do you think?"

In Lv Bu's army without counselors, all the military discussions have always been made by everyone, and the final decision was made by Lv Bu, the boss, so Lv Bu subconsciously asked Zhang Liao, who had always given pertinent advice.

"Yuan Shaoshi's hero is a mere Black Mountain bandit and a mob. Does the lord show off to Black Mountain Zhang Yan too much?" Zhang Liao was actually in a dilemma.It can be seen that based on the relationship between Zhang Yang and Lu Bu, as long as Zhang Yang says a word, Lu Bu will definitely help, but because of Xu You's rudeness just now, Zhang Yang is embarrassed to ask Lu Bu for help directly. Zhang Liao could only talk about the fact that he wasted his own military power on Yuan Shao.

"Ximing, what do you think?" Lu Bu asked a young general under Gao Shun's guard.

Hearing that Lu Bu did not ask Gao Shun, the leader of the trapped camp, but asked a general who was under the leadership, Qin Xu also looked over.

"Huh?" When Qin Xu's eyes fell on the general Lu Bu called Ximing, a sudden burst of unspeakable emotions surged from the bottom of his heart. All kinds of contradictions of intimacy, rejection, and dissatisfaction were twisted together, which shocked Qin Xu. .

Judging from the age of 25 or [-], this general is already in the rank of high and obedient in Lu Bu's army. He is dressed in armor, has a short beard, and has a heroic face in his handsome face. It seems that he is quite popular with Lu Bu.

It's strange, why does it seem very familiar, but I just can't remember who this "Xi Ming" is?
"Yiquan listens to the lord's orders!" The answer was quite satisfactory and standard.Even a blind man could see the disappointment in Lu Bu's eyes.

"Qin Xu, it's up to you to tell the story!" Lu Bu looked past Hao Meng, Song Xianchenglian and others, and asked Qin Xu directly. generals.

"Didn't Duke Yuan promise to give the lord one hundred thousand stones of grain and three thousand horses and ask the lord to send troops for help?" Qin Xu pretended to have misremembered the number, and said to Lu Bu with a dignified look: "As entrusted by others, I should As for the matter of loyalty, the lord is an unparalleled warrior in the world, so it should be based on this."

"Obviously..." Xu You, who was pretending to be dead at the side, heard that Qin Xu had almost doubled Yuan Shao's "subsidy" just by talking.

"My lord, how far is Hanoi County from Yecheng?" Qin Xu ignored Xu You's exasperated rebuttal, and asked Lu Bu with a look of curiosity, "I don't know about Yuan Gong's family members in Yecheng." Except for the youngest son of the female family members, is there anyone who can transport these military funds to Hanoi under the eyes of the Black Mountain bandits?"

"The food, grass and military resources are in Hanoi, but this is the amount?" Hearing that the conversation between Lu Bu and Qin Xu meant to send troops to help, Xu You, whose thoughts were disturbed by Qin Xu, couldn't care less. Under the inexplicable eyes of the generals in Hanoi, Said first.

"The sergeants in the camp haven't finished their rest yet..." Lu Bu smacked his lips and said in a very polite way under Qin Xu's approving eyes.

"Food and grass are at most [-] shi..." Xu You's face turned pale from green.

"My lord, General Zhang Liao's cavalry battalion is also resting!" Qin Xu added to the fire secretly.

"[-] shi of grain and [-] horses, there really can't be more." Xu You's face turned from white to red!
"My lord, that...that..." To be honest, Qin Xu couldn't think of words, but he still chatted casually with Lu Bu, his face twitching.

"Master Qin has a good memory. Someone remembers it. It is... indeed, one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass, and three... three thousand horses! We can hand over immediately!!" Xu You's face was almost purple, and he almost shouted. After saying the last word, a mouthful of blood sprayed out a foot away.

"Ziyuan is really a loyal minister who cares about the Lord. He vomited blood and sang for the sake of the beginning. Bu admires it!" Lv Bu cupped his hands at Xu You with a solemn face, and said righteously: "The black mountain bandits want to invade Yecheng. Brother Zhi and Uncle are in the same brotherhood, and should be concerned about the original situation, the generals will obey orders, well, after the handover is completed, send troops immediately, and make sure to protect the original family members!"

"Here! My lord is benevolent and righteous, my lord is wise!" All the generals said in unison with a strange tone.
