Lu's relatives

Chapter 403 Here Comes the One Who Finds Differences
Zhang Liao and Lv Bu were inseparable, he was extremely cautious and upright, he was a rare handsome talent.Qin Xu knew the ability of this general with the posthumous title of Ganghou.Therefore, after hearing Zhang Liao's ashamed words that Duzhen, a plain county country hanging out of Qingzhou, was somewhat powerless, he never felt the slightest bit of negligence.On the contrary, because of Lu Lingqi's relationship, Zhang Liao treated Qin Xu with the courtesy of a junior again and again on the way to the plain, which made Zhang Liao's attitude towards Qin Xu really close.

As I said before, due to geographical reasons, the Pingyuan Kingdom is said to be governed by Qingzhou, but it is separated by a big river.Furthermore, although Pingyuan State is called a county state, in fact its jurisdiction is only slightly larger than that of ordinary counties.However, it is impossible for Qingzhou to use this plain county town with few people and poor transportation and difficult transportation as a "bridgehead". The former governor of Qingzhou, Jiao He, and Yuan Shao, who still wanted to scheme for Qingzhou, probably had the same thoughts.As a result, at the beginning of the chaos in Hebei, Gongsun Zan, who occupied half of Youzhou at that time, played his classmate Liu Bei as the order of the plains. Yuan Shao faced Liu Bei in the plains, which was close at hand, without even a decent defense arrangement, so he directly poured his troops into Jizhou Yixin only fought Gongsun Zan to the death, but was succeeded by Qin Xu's plan to plot the grain and grass in Jizhou at that time.Just like Cao Cao's famous password in history, it is tasteless, it is a pity to discard it, and it is tasteless to eat.That's about it.

But since Lu Bu won Qingzhou, especially after Lu Bu's army showed a different kind of appeal with unprecedented strength.The status of the "enclave" of the plain is somewhat delicate.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although Lu Bu built Qingzhou, which faces the sea on one side and has a big river and natural moat on the other, like an iron barrel, there was some discord between the forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. The "old brand" forces are deflated.These two wished that as long as it was something that would make Lu Bu unhappy, they would rush to do it.In this way, the location of the plain is somewhat interesting.

Whether it is the final return of the county government or the two fraud cases during the severe drought, it can almost be seen that there are shadows of other forces that are unhappy with Lu Bu's army.So much so that even if Lu Bu sent Zhang Liao, who was the most capable on his own, to guard the place, there were many situations, and it was not a good plan for this handsome man, one of the five best generals of the Wei State in history.It is enough to see the complex situation of the plain.

Originally, according to the plan of Qin Xu and Jia Xu, the counselor under his command, the plain was just a resting place, and the main "battlefield" was still in Jizhou.

But because of the previous incident in the river, Cheng Yu, Cao Cao's confidant, was captured alive again. After several accidents, Qin Xu wanted to change his previous plan of sneaking into Hebei to act secretly. It's a bit fussy.

The plain, this barren land that is hard to determine, may be well used, and it may really become a breakthrough point that prevents Cao Cao from focusing on the past.

You must know that Cao Cao's intention to get involved in Hebei is already known to all passers-by except for the monarchs and ministers in Xuchang City.With the proof of righteousness of the Son of Heaven Talisman Festival, no matter how jealous the surrounding forces are, Ding Po Tian is just like Qin Xu, secretly tripping up Boss Cao who wants to eat alone. During the period of calm before total chaos, hide and seek.Fearing that someone would catch him, he made a rafter out of thin air.But right now, since God gave Cheng Yu such a sweet bait in his hands, if he didn't make good use of it, he would feel really sorry for Flying Cavalry being a target for half an hour in vain.

"Decree, go to the camp first to serve as the guards, put on the armor and put on a guard of honor, let's enter the city!" Since crossing the river, Qin Xu, who had been thinking secretly for a long time along the way, finally made a decision, and ordered the deputy commander of the first camp who was beside the guard to lead him to the city. Zhao said.

"General Qin! This... Pingyuan is not like other states and counties..." Zhang Liao knew that Qin Xu liked to take risks, but he didn't expect that he was too impulsive.Although seeing Qin Xu's demeanor, it seems that he has a plan, but he still can't help but want to remind Qin Xu that Pingyuan is different from Qingzhou and even other prefectures and counties in Xuzhou.

"General Wenyuan kindly accepts Qin! But isn't Pingyuan one of the six counties and three places in Qingzhou? Since Qin respectfully serves as the commander of the Qingzhou barracks, this time he is 'inspecting' this place on behalf of the lord. How can there be no life. Let those who spy on Qingzhou's map look down on it for no reason." Qin Xu said in a rather "arrogant" manner with a vanguard appearance.

Qin Xu understood what Zhang Liao meant.At present, the focus of Lu Bu's army is to maintain stability. To put it bluntly, it is to accumulate food and build high walls, and the center of gravity of the strategy is also biased towards Yangzhou in the east of the Jiangxi. To achieve a delicate balance in the complicated situation, it was delayed for a while, and it only needed to wait for Lu Bu to free up his hands, and then slowly clean up.Besides, Zhang Liao also knew the purpose of Qin Xu's trip. Among other things, it was absolutely necessary to conceal his whereabouts.But when Qin Xu came out like this, he was wearing a guard of honor and wearing armor, not to mention hiding, it was almost like revealing his identity when he caught someone.Right now Hebei is a powder keg, and not everyone can brazenly mix it up.

"That's all!" But Zhang Liao had worked with Qin Xu for a while after all.I also know some of Qin's "methods". As early as that time, Zhang Liao had already served as the captain of the cavalry and the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, the elite cavalry of the Lu Bu Army, which was second only to the trapped camp, but Qin Xu was just a cavalry at that time. The head of the small inner palace, but in the battle of Pingqingzhou, Qin Xu repeatedly said that millions of people would surrender the yellow scarves without a single soldier. What he was thinking made Zhang Liao see the difference in Qin Xu.Therefore, seeing that Qin Xu, who was supposed to be modest towards himself, suddenly changed his style and wanted to make such a big splash, although Zhang Liao thought it was inappropriate, he didn't ask too much, and even secretly ordered the accompanying soldiers to go back to the city first, and told the guards The soldiers in the city tried their best to follow Qin Xu's wishes, just to see how this General Qin, who always brings surprises to people, would come up with some unbelievable tricks under the current circumstances.

"No! The last general will do it!" Zhang Liao still has some ideas to measure Qin Xu's ability. As a general who has followed Qin Xu since the first battle of Qin Xu's fame, he has witnessed it with his own eyes. Qin has turned the impossible into the possible time and time again.In the eyes of Zhaozhao, even if everyone now knows that there are many spies in Pingyuan City, although the hearts of the people are considered safe, it is absolutely impossible for the hearts of those who have been manipulated by Liu Bei, the "previous" Pingyuan Prime Minister, to be unreasonable. After two fraudulent cases, they could turn to Lu Bu's side so quickly.And the only person who can resolve this shortcoming is really not thinking of anyone other than the young and outrageous General Qin in front of him.

"Wait! Not only do we need to increase our momentum, but we'd better pretend to spread the fact that Cheng Yu colluded with the Montenegrin bandits inadvertently and intended to attack our allies, but was captured alive by our army. The main point is to highlight Let me also emphasize the fact that the brothers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion tried their best to exercise restraint until there were no casualties on their side. I want to hear Cao Cao's echo in the shortest possible time!" Just two steps away from Zhao Zhao, Qin Xu He called back again, and said in an expedient manner.

"General Qin, please be fine!" Qianzhao, who was born in the local area, had a good personal relationship with the "expert" in this field who had never followed this time. Seeing that Qin Xu had no intention of continuing, he clasped his fists and left.

"Maybe General Qin wants to take advantage of the status quo of spies from various parties in Pingyuan City to let Cao Cao know through their mouths, so as to mess up the situation because of Cheng Yu?" He consciously saw through Zhang Liao, who Qin Xu had drawn, and closed his eyes in thought. After a while, he immediately asked.

"Part of it!" Qin Xu looked at the dilapidated city wall of Pingyuan County that was getting closer, and said to Zhang Liao with a smile: "But I don't think Cao Cao will be fooled. He knows that I won't just do it out of personal anger at such a time. Kill Cheng Yu to break the agreement between the two allies."

"Then... what does General Qin mean? Could it be that he wants to coerce Cao Cao to do something? Now Cao Cao has come to Hebei to mediate the war between the two Yuans under the emperor's talisman. A mere counselor can hardly shake Cao Cao's alliance with Hebei and The situation of the two states is inevitable, even if you know that your advisers are colluding with the Black Mountain bandits, at most you will send someone over to negotiate with us. In that way, not only will your whereabouts be revealed, General Qin, but it will even be easy for those Cao Cao is prepared for the purpose of the general's trip, this..." Zhang Liao is ten years older than Qin Xu, has been a general in the army for many years, and has been alone for more than a year, but he still can't figure out Qin Xu consciously. Xu's intention.

"General Wen Yuan is worrying too much!" Hearing Zhang Liao suddenly utter such words that could almost be said to be heart-to-heart.Qin Xu also knew that the reason why this tiger general said this was probably due to the fact that Lu Lingqi was by his side at this moment, but he was still quite grateful, and said with a smile: "The reason why Qin planned to pass through Pingyuan secretly, Detour to Bohai County, Jizhou, visit Zhen’s family in Changshan, and then turn into Jizhou in a big circle. On the one hand, there will be an excuse to visit friends and relatives; General Wen Yuan must also know that although our army and Cao’s forces are allies, the old enmity between the two armies cannot be eliminated with a few words. I am afraid that if we don’t do this, as long as our army Some people show up in Jizhou. It can't be said that Cao Cao is such a delicate person. He will soon understand our purpose and point his target at us. He will list us as the biggest stumbling block preventing him from reaching Jizhou. But the situation has changed a bit now. Since Cheng Yu has the leisure to dispatch military ships to plot against us, I believe Cao Cao will know that our army has actually started to intervene in Hebei affairs. My lord opened up this layer. Thanks to the "assistance" of Mr. Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde, we also had an excuse to cross the border to fight against the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and the giant bandits in Black Mountain. Finally, we can be together with Cao Cao Morally fair."

"What does the general mean, that we have captured all of them alive this time, and Cao Cao will know soon that no one has escaped? Uh... Liao made a mistake!" Zhang Liao subconsciously asked, followed by His face flushed, and he knew that he had asked a not-so-bright question.Cheng Yu is just a counselor under Cao Cao's command.Since the more than [-] warships were able to be mobilized, it seems that this matter is likely to be planned by Cao Cao. Taking a step back, even if it was not Cao Cao's scheme, the people who handed over the warships to Cheng Yu would also treat them. The whereabouts of these ships and soldiers who suddenly "missed" were doubtful. If you think about it carefully, even in the end, no matter what, Cao Cao will find out about himself.In this way, it is really not as good as Qin Xu, who directly clarified the matter face to face.Hit the ball back in front of Cao Cao and see what Cao Cao's explanation is.

"Since that's the case, the general who is recruiting is not from the same place after all. In the past year, Liao has sometimes had some quarrels with the leading figures in this place for the convenience of inquiring about news. This time, he just came to help General Qin!" Zhang Liao wanted to make up for what he had just said. Suspecting Qin Xu's "negligence", he took the initiative to speak up this time.

"It couldn't be better!" Qin Xu's smile became more sincere, and he cupped his hands and said to Zhang Liao, "With Wenyuan's help this time, Cao Cao must really be furious after learning the news!"

Not to mention that Qin Xu, with the help of Zhang Liao, arranged for Qianzhao and others to take the opportunity to spread the incident of the attack based on basic facts and reasonable imagination; when Lv Bu escaped from Hanoi, he met Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, etc. At the Baimadu where the two armies "welcome" Cao Cao's army camp, Cao Cao, who has become more and more powerful in recent years, is facing Cao Ren, Cao Chun's nephew, Xia Houyuan, Xu Huang and other generals who have been brought out this time. Looking at the last time he looked like this, he no longer knew when it was the anger.

Speaking of Qin Xu, when he was just approaching the end of the Han Dynasty, he wanted to join Cao Cao and take advantage of the big tree to enjoy the shade. In fact, it was a pretty good choice carefully.At least Qin was like a worm in Boss Cao's stomach in many things, and he guessed Cao Cao's reaction very closely.

The plain is actually not very far from the white horse. It only takes two or three days to reach there along the upstream of the big river. If the wind is favorable, it may be faster.However, Cheng Yu's arbitrariness this time, at the junction of the three states, he colluded with the Black Mountain rebels to attack the friendly troops who wanted to go to other counties in this state "for no reason", but was finally captured alive by the people who came to respond, but it only took half a day At that time, it appeared on the case table of Cao Cao's handsome account.Boss Cao, who was bound to win Hebei, Hebei and Bingzhou, became upset for no reason.

Qin Xu!Qin Xu!Why is it Qin Xu again!Cao Cao looked at the inner bottom of his robe sleeve almost subconsciously. It had been replaced with a name embroidered with gold thread that people love and hate, and those who love him want to eat their flesh.

Although the news said that Qin Xu probably wanted to solve the well-known Qingzhou plain scandal, and was provoked by Cheng Yu for no reason.But Cao Cao did exactly what Qin Xu and Zhang Liao said, seeing through Qin Xu's ultimate intention at a glance.

Pack!What to pretend!It's nothing more than wanting to get a share of the fat in the Erzhou of Hebei, and using such a trick can only deceive others.If it were not to say that Lu Bu had no thoughts about Jizhou, or even Hebei, Qin Xu was just going to the plains to make soy sauce, and he wouldn't believe it if he killed Lao Cao!

And most importantly, Qin Xu was involved.

In particular, the "breakthrough" chosen by Qin Xu made Cao Cao always feel that Qin, who had never played his cards according to common sense, knew something!
Black bandit!Black bandit!Cao Cao's mind is full of this term now!He even complained about Cheng Yu!Cheng Zhongde is still in his fifties, and he is quite reliable in his daily work!How come when you meet someone from Qin, it's like pouring brine into your brain and making a brain full of bloody tofu?Even if you really think that you have a great opportunity to eliminate future troubles, you can transfer troops as soon as you deploy them!If you are captured alive, you will be captured alive!But why did Qin Xu discover this group of "ancestors"?Thinking about it makes people flustered!
The black mountain bandit is indeed related to Cao Cao.And it's not shallow.Even as early as when the Black Mountain bandits Bai Raozhong occupied Puyang, they had already had contact with Cao Cao, the capable general who had suppressed the Yellow Turbans.It involves a secret incident of the Yellow Turban, which is not known to outsiders.It's just that since Bai Rao retreated to Puyang at that time, the Black Mountain bandit has never broken the connection with Cao Cao.Cao Cao was also jealous because he saw that Lu Bu relied on Qin Xu to take over millions of yellow scarves men and women, turning Qingzhou, which was originally barren and sparsely populated, into a relatively densely populated Central Plains state.It is indeed possible to take advantage of this heaven-sent opportunity to cleanse the black mountain bandits who have been entrenched in Hebei for many years and are no longer familiar with the big and small things in the three states, and become a great help for him to use to stabilize Hebei.The wishful thinking made a loud noise, although there is no abacus these days.

But now, because of Cheng Yu's momentary "impulse", Cao Cao had a premonition that the situation was out of control.Originally, at the moment when almost all the forces in the Central Plains are accumulating strength and recuperating, he, Mr. Cao, did what others could not, and used the battle between the two boys from the Yuan family in Hebei to win the righteousness of the emperor, and blocked the others one step ahead. It is possible for forces of all sizes to get involved in Hebei, and with the financial support of the Hedong Wei family, if the news of the Black Mountain bandit's surrender is released at an appropriate time, and as long as the speed is fast enough and the methods are smart enough, the pacification of Hebei is just around the corner!
But right now, with such an advantage, someone from Qin insisted on an excuse for Cheng Yu to collude with the black bandits to attack the friendly army, completely breaking the situation that was completely beneficial to the Cao family.Moreover, he "exposed" his whereabouts with great fanfare, while waiting for his "account" from Cao Cao with an aggrieved look, on the other hand, he took the opportunity to take advantage of the plain to see the situation in Jizhou. I have nothing to do and want to find fault, don't I?
