Lu's relatives

Chapter 37 Changes in Ye City

Yecheng.It is more than ten feet high and more than seven miles wide. The city wall is double-layered and wide enough to run six horses in parallel. On the female wall is a big flag with the character of Yuan, which is black and yellow, fluttering in the wind.

This place was originally the administrative office of Muhan Hanfu in Jizhou, an important town in the north, less affected by wars, and with sufficient food and soldiers. Since it was captured by Yuan Shao's envoy at the beginning of the year, it has become the base camp of the Yuan family.

"This is Ye? It's not much better than Chang'an! It's a pity that it is a little less popular." In front of the slightly desolate city gate of Yecheng, there was a crisp exclamation from the carriage guarded by four or five strong men.

"This is Yecheng, let's make an agreement, and everything you have to do when you enter the city! Don't mess around." A young man dressed as a scribe sitting on the shaft of the car smiled wryly. , turned to the car and said.

"Got it, got it, it's really annoying. I said it a dozen or twenty times along the way. I know you, Master Qin, no, no, it's Butler Qin, and you're here to handle important things. I just don't want to cause trouble for you!" Carriage The female voice in the middle said indifferently.

"Remember, you are not Miss Lu, but Zhang Taishou's niece. Master Xu Youxu invited you to visit Yecheng, remember?"

"I know, I know, it's really annoying! Why don't you go to the city? Uncle Gao is still waiting for our reply!"

The men and women who were talking were none other than Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi who came from Hanoi.

That day Qin Xu made a bet with Cheng Lian in front of Lu Bu's generals that he would smoothly retrieve the rations and horses that Xu You had promised from Yuan Shao.If you really waited for Xu You to cash in, it might be useless to wait until Yuan Shao died of old age.

Now that he knew that Lao Yuan would not admit it, Lu Bu had to give Zhang Yang face. Once Yecheng was lost, Yuan Shao would definitely return to rescue him. The difference in military strength and combat power was huge, so Zhang Yan would definitely not be able to defend Yecheng.

If Zhang Yan is satisfied with the harvest in Yecheng, and is smart enough to retreat to the mountains after finishing this vote, avoiding Yuan Shao's soldiers, and preserving his strength, then hello, me, everyone, except Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang's Hanoi army had no more than [-] people, and they were sheltered under Yuan Shao.

Based on the comparison of Zhang Yang's military strength with that of the Montenegro Army, the hat of being unfavorable in rescue must have been worn. In a fit of rage, with Yuan Shao's character and temper, he got angry, which is probably enough for Zhang Yang to drink a pot.

But if Zhang Yang didn't send troops, it is estimated that Zhang Yang would soon become the second Han Fu as Xu You expected.Zhang Yang suffered under his nose, so Lu Bu naturally would not sit idly by.

But sending troops in vain and wasting Lv Bu's military power in vain is what Qin Xu didn't want to see.

"Since it is necessary to send troops out of reason and reason, and Yuan Shao intends to tie up with our army to deter Chang'an, the general will accept a little help, and since Zhang Taishou said that the transportation is quite laborious, we may as well move it ourselves!" Qin Qin Asahi said that day.

Qin Xu's words changed the color of Lu Bu, the world's number one fighter.Although when Qin Xu was joking with Cheng Lian in the military tent, Lu Bu vaguely felt that Qin Xu had such thoughts in mind, but it was still a bit unacceptable for Qin Xu to say it now.

"Yuan Shao occupies a state, and his family is four generations and three lords. He is famous all over the world, and he has a great relationship with the big family in Jizhou. Even if Yecheng is really captured, the black mountain bandits will not be able to please them." Lu Bu frowned and said: "More What's more, if Yuan Shao is really determined to return to the army for rescue, he can reach Yecheng in only five or six days by marching quickly. If Yuan Shao finds us like this, brother Zhi will just..."

Although Lu Bu was not known in history for his ingenuity, how many of the princes who were able to flourish in the late Han Dynasty were really stupid?Although Qin Xu's words were a bit bold, it is not impossible to succeed if he operates well.Lu Bu was not afraid of heaven and earth, and most of the reason why he was scruples about Yuan Shao was because he was worried that Yuan Shao would settle the score.

"Isn't there a black bandit here..." Qin Xu's mouth twitched slightly.He said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the Black Mountain bandits are here to help Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shaogang suffered a loss at the hands of Gongsun Zan. The two families are already dying. Let's just add fire to them."

"..."

The plan is pretty good and the steps are logical.For Qin Xu, who often made plans in his previous life, all plans are not as fast as changes. Therefore, if the plan fails, Lu Bu's safety is naturally not to worry about. The first choice for Yecheng Raiders.

When Qin Xu insisted on going to Yecheng in person, Lu Bu did not object because of Qin Xu's age and seniority. Instead, before Qin Xu spoke, he ordered Gao Shun and the trapped camp to cooperate with Qin Xu's action.

Qin Xu understood what Lu Bu meant.Although Yecheng was Yuan Shao's base camp, the danger was minimal before the arrival of the Black Mountain Army.No matter how bad it was, Qin Xu's plan failed, and there was an all-invincing camp that claimed to attack the city and pull out the village. There were only a thousand guards in the area, and Gao Shun could not be troubled at all.

Qin Xu was also a little numb to Lu Bu's tolerant and almost conniving behavior towards Qin Xu, and he couldn't figure out the reason, so he simply didn't think about it for the time being.

Everything followed the established script. Before dawn, Lu Bu ordered Zhang Liao's Xiaoqi Battalion and Cheng Lian's Flying Cavalry Battalion outside the city to intercept the main force of the Black Mountain Army.Accompanied by his old acquaintances Lao Xu, Sima Mao and Kong Erlangzi and other familiar soldiers who were trapped in the camp, Qin Xu rushed to Yecheng pretending to be Xu You's nephew who had persuaded Zhang Yang and sent him to Yecheng to reassure Yuan Shao.

But the more perfect things are thought of, the more prone to problems, the same from ancient to modern.

Just when these people deliberately avoided Zhang Yang and Xu You and left Hanoi, pretending to fulfill Yuan Shao's entrustment for Zhang Yang, the Hanoi prefect's mansion was also in chaos.

Lu Lingqi was gone.

"Mother, Sister Diaochan, I'm going to play with Qin Xu!"

When people reported that Ms. Lu went to Qin Xu's room last night, but she didn't enter the door, and left a note the next day that she disappeared, Yan and Diao Chan couldn't laugh or cry helplessly.This, this, Xiao Ling'er has such a good relationship with Qin Xu?

So when Qin Xu approached Ye City and saw Lu Lingqi in full armor standing in front of him like a ghost, Qin Xu knew that the conversation that night must have been overheard by this girl.

He intends to order Lu Lingqi to return to Hanoi, but Qin Xu knows that this is impossible. This place is less than ten miles away from Ye City, and Lu Lingqi's temperament is most like Lu Bu. Qin Xu can't guarantee whether this girl will slip into Ye by herself. city.In desperation, she finally changed her plan, and Lu Lingqi became Zhang Yang's cousin. She was invited by Xu You to be a "guest" in Yecheng, and Qin Xu, who was treated like a young master, was also found by Sima Mao. Moved from the carriage to the shaft, he became the chief servant of a royal butler called "Miss Zhang".

The news that the Heishan army plundered Jizhou through Hanoi and targeted Yecheng has been spread in Yecheng in the past few days.The war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fell into a stalemate, and there were not many troops left in Yecheng. At this time, the Black Mountain bandits who had been raging in Hebei also came to join in the fun, which made the few defenders here frightened.

Yuan Shao's days in Yecheng are short, and it is a joke to say that the people's hearts belong to you at this time. The people of the big man who have been through wars and turmoil will not care whether you are the fourth generation and the third prince, whether you were once the leader of the princes and alliances, let alone understand what is going on. strategy.What they care about is nothing more than more or less taxation, higher or lower wages for family laborers who are conscripted, and those who are a little well-informed only know that a man named Lao Yuan took a fancy to Yecheng, so he ran away The original Lao Han, but still feel that the territory is not big enough, so he went to provoke a man named Gongsun Zan. The fight was smooth at first, but in the end he found out that he was tricked by him. Now his allies are coming to copy his Lao Yuan's lair.And it was the notorious black bandit who came.

A few days ago, in the bustling market, you could still hear the sound of hawking and the neighing of donkeys and mules; the four doors were open, and there was an endless stream of people coming in and out, as well as caravans of aristocratic families.But since the news of the invasion from Montenegro came, the tense atmosphere in the city became more and more intense. Not only was the street deserted and deserted, but the gates outside the city were also hoisted high, leaving only the east gate for pedestrians to come and go.

The Yuan's garrison guarding the city gate also had a new look. They were not as lazy as usual. They were all armed with spears and armor. Under the leadership of an officer who looked like a school lieutenant, they nervously watched the scattered pedestrians entering and leaving the city. All the salutation letters had to be disassembled, read and inspected, and the interrogation was extremely strict.

The carriage was quickly noticed by the soldiers, and the captain looked at the carriage with a vigilant face as it rushed straight in, and hurried forward to stop it.

Yecheng is the seat of Jizhou. There are many big families in the city, and there are many small families. If it is normal, the carriages are luxurious and there are guards. Maybe there are female relatives in the city. This is obviously not the pomp of ordinary people. Maybe you don’t ask. It was released directly, but now is an extraordinary period, people in the city are in panic, and the order of Shangfeng made the captain have to step forward to question him.

"Everyone, please stop!" The captain politely stopped the carriage, and asked tentatively, "Which family members in the city are you?"

"I'll wait..." Before Qin Xu could say what he had compiled, he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him.The captain seemed to be stabbed by a needle, and he didn't care about interrogating Qin Xu and the others. With a surprised tone, he greeted him with a "Aiya".

What came was an army cavalry of less than ten people, all of them were dressed in Xuanjia, with a murderous look on their bodies, they looked like the elite of the army, but the leader was a young man, from a distance, he looked very handsome, about his age Just like Qin Xu, wearing a small armor, pointing at the frame of Qin Xu and others who are blocking the gate of the city, seems quite displeased.

The captain trotted forward to meet him, arched and bowed, and was very respectful to the boy.

The boy pointed impatiently at the frame of Qin Xu and the others and said a few words to the captain, and saw the captain walking towards Qin Xu who was waiting in place, his face did not have the slightest anxiety from before, as if he had acquired something As if relying on it, he said, "Let's lean aside for now, and then check carefully after the third son passes by!"

Three sons?
Qin Xu was a little annoyed by the arrogant appearance of the school captain Qian Gong, looked at the boy who was getting closer, smiled slightly, and suddenly had an idea.
