Lu's relatives

Chapter 388 Everyone has their own!
Cao Cao's gift was not insignificant, but it was a bit hot to put away.Qin Xu could almost expect that, after Boss Cao enthusiastically communicated with the Wei family and the Zhen family's relationship, he suddenly found out that he was being pulled from the bottom of the pot and felt ashamed after busying himself for nothing.He immediately sent troops to attack without being angry and obsessed. He has already been cultivated by his old Cao, but now he is still giving such a big gift.

The situation in Hebei is now also the efforts of the three.Whether it's Gongsun and Liu Bei who are guarding the entire territory of Youzhou and relying on the cavalry to spy on Jihe from above, or Yuan Tan who has taken over Bingzhou and coveted Jiyou and Youzhou with his fine cavalry, or is under the control of Yuan's subordinates. Fans of Yuan Xi who fought against the merger.It can be said that by virtue of their respective advantages and disadvantages, the three parties have their own plans but are scruples about each other, and have reached a delicate balance.Even though the sudden death of Yuan Shao caused Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi to attack each other, they maintained considerable restraint under the persuasion of their respective subordinates, and did not give Gongsun and Liu Bei an opportunity to take advantage of them.As for Youzhou, for some reason, Gongsun Zan ignored things for a long time, and all the military and political power fell into the hands of Liu Bei brothers. If it weren't for the fact that Gongsun Zan could be seen from time to time in the Yijing Fortress, people would have thought that the White Horse General had been taken by the Liu family. The three brothers were harmed, but even so, Youzhou, which Liu Bei actually ruled, had a lot of hidden dangers, not to mention the frontier army subordinate to Gongsun's forces, and had the fundamental responsibility to resist the imminent foreigners.

They are afraid of each other, and no one is willing to take the risk of losing their lives to start a big battle. The consequence of this is that the war is anxious!

Hebei has been run by Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan for many years. In addition to the crisis of confrontation between the three families, the resistance to foreign forces can be said to be unprecedented. It is the backup recruited by other forces, who want to break through their own defenses from the inside.Therefore, if you want to intervene in the situation in Hebei, you can only rely on the help of forces other than these three forces.The Zhen family who had money, food, iron, and horses was undoubtedly the best choice.

Even if the forces in the Central Plains have gone through many years of war and chaos, and have been hit by a severe drought that has not happened in a hundred years, they have no choice but to stop the army and truce, put down the flags and drums, and rest and recuperate.But this does not mean that it is possible to use the hands of others to mix up the mess in Hebei.Just like Zhen Jian's recent series of actions, it can be seen that even within the three prefectures of Hebei, there are actually three parties who are not optimistic about it and intend to find another person who knows the master.

For example, Yuan Shang's mother and son who were driven out of Jizhou by their two brothers!Wasn't it because he originally wanted to persuade Lu Bu to borrow troops, but now his idea is on the Zhen family again!
Speaking of which, Yuan Shang did really shine this time, and it was beyond the expectations of the old poisonous Jia Xu!Really capable!Moreover, these many great gifts did not mention the matter of borrowing troops to restore Jizhou, which really made Qin Xu miscalculate a little.

What made Qin Xu even more puzzled was that this kid had the most generous gift list, but where did he get so much food and military resources?Can you still carry it with you?And even if there is, it is impossible for Yuan Shang to be so stupid as to suddenly "change" in Qingzhou?Isn't that just telling Qin Xu that he, the Yuan family's junior, has the ability to produce so many military armors on the ground of Qingzhou?No matter how confused Yuan Shang is, the two powerful people behind him don't know how exciting this is to someone from Qin, who has just experienced the Linzi Rebellion planned by Kong Rong, and who is a little nervous, right?No one is stupid, normal people would never do such a thing like hitting the muzzle of a gun.

Of course Yuan Shang couldn't do it anymore.When Qin Xu "sent" Yuan Shang to the Heishan bandit when he was at the city gate of Ye City, the boy still looked scared to death, but he was able to stay safely in the den of bandits for two months.Although I don't know how the Yuan family Xiaosan got here in the past two months, one thing we can know is that Yuan Shang survived and waited for the day when Yuan Shao and the black mountain bandits "reconciled".It can be seen from this that even though Yuan Shang is young, he is definitely a guy who cherishes his life.But this kind of person, without absolute certainty, will not easily do a seemingly dangerous thing.Then the content on this gift list, and Yuan Shang's intention to visit Qin Xu in a hurry, but left him saying that he left without getting anything, is not as simple as it seems.

"No! How did you forget this one!" Qin Xu was entangled in the original intention of Cao Cao and Yuan Shang's strange behavior, and was planning to ask Zhen Jian to find out from other channels after today's banquet, whether there was something wrong in Hebei that made Cao Cao Unexpectedly, Yuan Shang and Yuan Shang would coincidentally be "magnanimous" once, and rashly send a big gift to Qin Xu to congratulate Qin Xu on his daughter's happiness.Just as he was about to turn sideways to find someone and tell Jia Xu to come and see him later, Qin Xu suddenly thought of someone from Yuan Shang's matter.There was a sudden movement in my heart.

Yuan Shang has been to Montenegro!Black bandit Zhang Yan!How can we forget this force that was struggling between Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and Liu Yu, and was repeatedly suppressed but couldn't hurt its fundamentals?

Back when the Black Bandits were at their peak, the entire Taihang Mountains stretched from Youzhou Chuanbing in the north, Ji Erzhou through Hanoi and south to Puyang, and the entire Taihang Mountain Range, as well as the hundreds of miles around the ridge, were once the Black Bandit's sphere of influence.When Gongsun Zan was in decline, he was exhausted by tossing Yuan Shao with the help of black bandits under the heavy pressure of Yuan Shao's army.It can be seen from this that it is known as the energy of a million black bandits.

As one of the six wealthy merchants of the Han Dynasty, the Hebei Zhen family, although it has been passed down for hundreds of years, no one in Hebei can match its financial power.But if compared to the impact on the situation, it is actually only in name.In other words, although the Zhen family is sure that there will be "means" to protect themselves, if it is used to fight for hegemony in Hebei, it is far from enough.

But the black bandit is different.Although the lack of money and food income is the key to curbing the development of Montenegro.But he couldn't hold back the Black Bandits staring fiercely at the land of Hebei like a leech. As long as the timing changed, the chaotic Hebei would become a paradise for the Black Bandits.Whether it is suppressing or wooing, it can be said that even as long as Montenegro remains neutral, it will eventually benefit the Montenegro bandits who cannot be defeated, suppressed, or fought.

It can even be said that as long as there is money and food benefits, Black Mountain can betray Gongsun and guide Yuan Shao during the honeymoon period with Gongsun Zan, and give Gongsun Zan a hard blow; it can also help the forces left by the old Yuan family to resist Gongsun, Liu Bei's attack.From this point of view, compared to the Zhen family, the Black Mountain Bandit is actually a "better" partner for cooperation.

So in this Hebei incident, what kind of role did the black mountain bandit play?Qin Xu didn't dare to guess.Yuan Shang stayed in Montenegro for two months, and he didn't know what happened to him. It's just that he changed his mind after returning to Jizhou. It is estimated that the chance of being connected with the bandits in Montenegro is not very high, otherwise he would not have taken so many military armor To "send" it to such an irrelevant person as Qin Xu, there must be another purpose in doing so, and Jia Xu's confirmation is still pending, so I won't mention him for now.

Qin Xu is worried about Cao Cao!

Qin Xu knew the relationship between Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin bandits, and Cao Cao in history, but it was not a "state" of incompatibility between the Han bandits.Cao Cao's current defensive town, Puyang, was once an important stronghold of the Black Mountain bandits before Cao Cao entered Yanzhou Mu. He once joined forces with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and the original Yanzhou governor Liu Dai to fight like a raging fire.After being honestly beaten by Cao Cao, who was the prefect of Dongjun at the time, it didn't take long for Liu Dai to die at the hands of the Yellow Turban, so Cao Cao came to rule Yanzhou.But the strange thing is that since Cao Cao took control of Yanzhou, the Black Mountain bandits didn't know if they were scared by Cao Cao at the beginning, but they never invaded Yanzhou again.Moreover, Hebei, which was finally stirred up in history, was turbulent. Ding Yuan, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu, and Han Fu were all helpless black bandits, but it was finally decided by Cao Cao.Qin Xu didn't know what happened in the middle of it, but now seeing Cao Cao's calm, seemingly indifferent to the Zhen family's move to "seek refuge" in Qingzhou, Qin Xu felt a little uneasy. out.But now there is no evidence if there is evidence, no news if there is news, and the memory of relying on the opportunity to seize the opportunity is also vague and ambiguous about this matter, so how can Qin Xu be able to rest assured.

"Zhongming, are you okay?" After all, Cai Yong's identity and age were put there, he only drank a few glasses of wine and left the living room. "I was dissatisfied because I stopped talking to Qin Xu after Li Cheng.And the only ones who are qualified to have a banquet with Qin Xu now are Sima Zanghong of Qingzhou and a group of senior military officials of the Lu Bu Army.But these people all know Qin Xu's tendency to distract himself, and they don't care about it.It was Cai Yan who was careful and noticed Qin Xu's strangeness.

"Oh, it's okay! I just thought of something else." Qin Xu was startled and said with a casual smile.Also, what do you want to do so much?Even history that has not happened at the moment is really just history.I think that the Baimenlou, which was originally in the west gate of Xuzhou, has already been "forced (demolished)" by Qin Xu. Since the fate of Lu Bu's fall into the Baimenlou was changed by his own interference, Qin Xu also replaced him. Liu Bei's position has become the governor of Xuzhou, and he also married the two "queens" destined by Liu Bei, and now he has adopted a queen as a righteous daughter. What else can't be changed?Why bother with an unsolved historical case?

Besides, even if Cao Cao is really related to the Black Mountain Bandits, so what?Before that, Cao Cao's "backstage boss" Weijia had a connection with Qingzhou Yellow Turban, intending to trap Lv Bu to death in Qingzhou, but now that Lv Bu is in control of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, isn't the whole army living a happy life now?Besides, this time, he took advantage of the trend and "tied" such a behemoth as the Zhen family, with the money and food of the Mi family as a base, and the strength of the Zhen family's iron horse to forge the army. When the time comes, let him do whatever he wants, and I'll just go all the way, Qin Xu still really doesn't believe that the pig's foot halo of the three main protagonists in the late Han Dynasty, Cao, Big Ear Liu, and Sun Luyan, can be awesome under the absolute strength of Lv Bujun Where is X going.

"If you're tired, go and take a rest." Seeing Qin Xu frowning and relaxing, Cai Yan didn't ask the reason, but said softly.

It has to be said that after a woman is pregnant, it is really like a different person.Before this was changed, no matter how much the black-bellied sister felt sorry for Qin Xu, people could hear a bit of sarcasm in her words, how could she be so gentle.

"No need, the guests haven't enjoyed themselves enough. As the head of the house, I can't leave the table early, right! But Zhao Ji, you should pay more attention to rest when you are pregnant!" Qin Xu said with a smile.

"Na Yan went with her sister-in-law to arrange a place for Mi'er. This girl came to the house for the first time, and I don't know if she will get used to it." Zhen Mi, who has never grown up, is still a little girl with an annoying appearance, which makes Cai Yan Motherly, seeing that Qin Xu was fine, he slowly stood up, pleaded guilty and retreated.

Qin Xu's family banquet lasted from noon to dinner, and the guests dispersed one after another because the sky was getting dark.Qin Xu rubbed his buzzing head and returned to the side room where Yuan Shang had just "received", where Jia Xu was waiting.

"Wenhe, what's the matter? Yuan Shang's gift list..." Cao Cao was too far away, and Qin, who naturally didn't have the ability to listen to the world, simply put it aside first, and talked about Yuan Shang's share of Jia Xu's mouth , which is almost equivalent to half of Jizhou's reserve "big gift", this is what Qin Xu is most worried about.

"My lord, I'm afraid this line is going to be broken!" Jia Xu usually showed a wry smile on his confident face during the day, and said: "After noon, Xu will go to the Yuan family with General Hao Meng with the gift list. The handover is over, there are indeed so many military resources, food and grass, and the weapons and armor are near me in Linzi. Xu also sent his lord, Shadow, to investigate urgently. This batch of military resources is actually two years ago. The lord assisted General Lu to control the According to Qingzhou, Yuan Shao did not have time to transfer a batch of military funds. Presumably, Yuan Shao planned to stabilize the foundation of Qingzhou, and prepared in advance, but stayed because of the haste. It was hidden in the Zishan Mountain near Linzi Fortunately, the mountain breeze is cool and extremely dry, so that the military rations will not become moldy and the utensils will not rust. But there is also enough evidence to prove that this batch of military supplies was not brought in from outside recently."

"Oh? Then we've got Yuan Shao's glory again. I don't feel sorry for the boy seller. If Yuan Shao knows that this batch of supplies was given by Yuan Shang as a gift, he might have to talk to the Yuan family's mistress in his dream at night." Qin Xu laughed in astonishment and said.I really didn't expect that my luck was really good, and I always encountered windfalls. Previously, it was Kan Xuan who almost robbed the resources of the two counties of Xuzhou, which made him cheaper for no reason. This time, it was Yuan Shao's possession again.

"Yuan Xianfu is protecting himself from disaster! But it can also be seen that the people behind Yuan Shang still have a bit of heart!" Jia Xu said indifferently: "This batch of military funds is nothing to Yuan Shang! It was obtained by General Lu, and judging from the fact that the former senior officials of the Yuan family who surrendered never mentioned this matter, it is very likely that Yuan Shao's huge amount of materials is absolutely confidential. This also makes Yuan Shang want to use it first. It is impossible to explain the source. Moreover, it is very easy to cause General Lu to misunderstand. Therefore, it is better to directly find an opportunity to take it out as a big favor and give it to General Lu indirectly. Presumably the people behind Yuan Shang must also know that you have it, my lord. After these materials, they will definitely check their sources carefully, but it saves Yuan Shang a lot of talk, not to mention saving them from disaster, but at this juncture, he must inherit a great favor from Yuan Shang. It is good. Calculate!"

"Yuan Shang is not ashamed of his background, and it seems that he is indeed a character!" Qin Xu now understands why Yuan Shang didn't take advantage of the "shock" brought by this huge batch of supplies to others after seeing him so easily. On the contrary, what request was made of nonsense, and even the talk of forming a brother and sister with Zhen Mi.It must be to give Qin Xu an impression that Yuan Shang himself is harmless.Presumably, no matter whether it is Tian Feng or Jushou, it should not be difficult for these two great talents to see the current situation of the Han Dynasty, as well as the surrounding forces of Ji and Bing. meaning.I also know that after Yuan Shao has been operating Hebei as the Yuan family's headquarters for several years, if he wants to be stable and stable in a short period of time, he must have someone with Yuan Shao's blood as the top figure to control it.Among the three brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were involved in the mystery of Yuan Shao's sudden death. Their bodies were not clean, so Yuan Shang became the only one who could support them.The plan of Tian Feng and Ju Shou may be to indirectly show Yuan Shang's easy-to-control appearance in front of Lu Bu, so that if Lu Bu has the intention to do so, he can make him the No. 1 choice.

As long as Yuan Shang can gain Lu Bu's trust, even if he is just a puppet, at least his life and reputation will be saved first.It's nothing more than the difference between being a minister of the great Han or being a minister of Lu Bu.With Tian Fengju as the two assistants, even if he took shelter under Lu Bu, it was not impossible for him to do more.It seems that it is really like the lament of the old poison Jia Xu, it is a good plan.

You really can't underestimate any ancient person!Qin Xu warned himself again!
Tian Feng and Jushou are indeed great counselors that Lian Cao Cao covets even after he has won so many high talents from Yingchuan, and his unique control of the situation and unique vision alone, I am afraid that the entire Han Dynasty can do it with one slap You can count them.Tian Feng was able to see through the ending of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao before the Battle of Guandu in history, but it is a pity that Yuan Shao refused to listen and locked up Tian Feng. After Guandu, whether the surname of the Han Dynasty is Liu or Yuan, we can see it immediately We know!
The same is true for Jushou. Even in Qin Xu's current situation, the previous strategy of coercing the emperor to order the princes was made by this elder brother. If Yuan Shao can be more decisive and ruthless, after listening to Jushou's plan Act immediately, instead of holding a wait-and-see attitude like at that time, until Qin Xu's whereabouts were leaked, and Yuan Shao discovered that Qingzhou, which was originally said to be neutral, also joined in, and then sent troops to Chang'an. , has become the overlord of Hebei.

well!Such talented two people, why did they follow Yuan's family so desperately?Qin, who has the nickname of "Human Trafficker", is a little jealous!
