Lu's relatives

Chapter 407
The increasingly clear roar of horseshoes and the faint shouts of people made the faces of the two parties change.After listening to the sound and debating, I am afraid that there will be no less than five or six thousand horses, which will cause this "effect" of feeling the ground tremble before seeing anyone coming.Although Hebei produces horses, but apart from Yuan Tan who owns Bingzhou's fine cavalry, the only one who can have so many cavalry is the Gongsun cavalry of Youzhou.

"The whole army is arrayed! Prepare to meet the enemy!" Zhang Liao, who was expected to be a hero valued by Lu Bu, who had originally lined up in front of Pingyuan County to cheer for Qin Xu, responded immediately.First, Qu Yi was ordered to lead the cavalry from the headquarters first to leave the formation, go to the Tongqian recruiting station and lead more than a hundred people to escort Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi back to the city, and leave the flying cavalry battalion led by Cheng Lian, who has a relatively good tacit understanding, on the left. On the one hand, it can support the action of boarding the camp first, and on the other hand, it can be used as Sasuke when the two soldiers are handed over.

Cavalry battles are different from synchronous soldiers, and the most important thing is a charge.It can be said that whoever runs first and maximizes the horsepower, then in the collision of troops, as long as the opponent does not have a cavalry nemesis such as a dense gun formation, it is very likely to have an absolute advantage.

All the troops present, even including Xun You, can be said to be experts in this field, and Xun You can even laugh at this time.If it weren't for Cao Jun's movements being under the control of the shadows, Qin Xu could have obtained first-hand information almost at any time. He knew that Cao Cao, who had not yet cultivated and forced to dispatch troops to take advantage of the chaos in Hebei, intending to eat alone, was being transferred from the prefectures and counties where he was based. Moreover, almost half of the cavalry in the headquarters were sent this time. Maybe they really thought that the incoming soldiers would be the ambush that Boss Cao wanted once and for all.

But Qin Xu was not in a hurry.It's not that someone from Qin has developed an unshakable character through his two years of experience at the end of the Han Dynasty, but self-confidence.Whether it is written in history or personal experience, the cavalry under Lu Bu's command, led by the two battalions of Zhanzheng and Xiaoqi, under the leadership of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, has hardly suffered a defeat.Even when Lu Wenhou died in front of the Baimen Tower, Cao Cao was very happy after getting Zhang Liao to join him. He said that since Lu Bu died, with a general like Zhang Liao commanding the cavalry, he would be at ease.Sure enough, Zhang Liao shocked Xiaoyaojin afterwards, and Sun Luyan's [-] troops killed by thousands of cavalry were all defeated.There is such a fierce man, and there are eight hundred strong men who have resisted Gongsun's cavalry by tens of thousands. To be honest, there are only a few thousand cavalry, and the momentum is indeed scary, but Qin is really I can't get nervous.

"Zhongming, is the coming army an ambush from this guy?" Qin Xu was able to control his temper, but he forgot that there was Miss Lu who had completely inherited Lu Wenhou's warlike blood by his side.Before Qin Xu could react, Lu Lingqi's slender hands full of abnormal strength grabbed the collar by the back, and directly lifted him up to protect his back.The huge iron halberd in the hand is not inferior to the "genuine" Fang Tian's painted halberd. Lu Lingqi, who is covered in armor and covered with a black veil, holds it horizontally in her hand, blocking Qin Xu's body. The gleaming tip of the halberd is facing the wise man Xun You on the bullock cart, it seems that as long as Qin Xu nods, Xun You's decapitation is a matter of minutes.

"Ling'er..." Qin Xu could only smile wryly after being treated like this by his wife.It's really strange that Lu Lingqi, who is only 16 years old, can contain such incredible power in her slender body, and it almost grows exponentially!I remember when we first met, Lu Lingqi was only wielding a heavy wooden halberd, and the weight already made Qin Xu speechless.After that, it was gradually replaced with iron-clad wooden halberds, and how long has it been until the current iron halberds?I thought that for more than two years, I was trained by Lu Lingqi, a "good teacher", and "hard training" every day, and my physique gradually improved, and I thought that I could take over the three moves of Lu Lingqi when I was a partner. And "undefeated", and Lu Lingqi also said that her "skills" are no longer inferior, which really excited Qin Xu for a while, but unexpectedly at this moment of desperation, he saw the truth.

"Uh..., who is this?" Not mentioning Qin Xu's depression, Xun You was also taken aback.Although Xun You is a Confucian literati, he has been a military counselor in Cao Cao's army for a long time, and he is also a man of knowledge.Xun You would not think that the huge iron halberd in Lu Lingqi's hand was just a little girl's toy.However, Xun You was quite courageous. Seeing that the elite tiger and leopard cavalry behind the guards were also tensed by Lu Lingqi's sudden burst of fighting spirit, they surrounded Xun You's ox cart tightly and kept their eyes on each other. Resisting the trembling of her thighs because of being locked by Lu Lingqi's fighting spirit, she forced a smile on her face and asked calmly.

"Oh, my wife is worried about Qin's safety, but Brother Gongda laughed at me!" The depression in Qin Xu's heart has long been washed away by Xun You's unintentional truth.When I read history books a few years ago, I could often see these powerful people who left their names in the late Han Dynasty, either going to the enemy forces to be lobbyists, facing the boiling oil pan, and talking and laughing with the swordsmen behind the tents, Claiming to disregard life and death; or stand still in the face of chaotic troops, with the appearance of a scholar who can defeat a million soldiers.I thought these people were "people made of special materials" as I said to Taizu.Unexpectedly, the leader of this group of people, the mastermind of the Cao family who was born in the Xun family, and Xun You, who claims to be a planner, would be intimidated by Lu Lingqi's awe.Husband and wife are one, Qin can be said to be honored.

"It turns out to be the Wenhou tiger girl, Mrs. Qin! You are so lucky!" Xun You looked at the majestic Lu Lingqi with a face full of surprise, looked at Qin Xu with strange eyes, and said a word of admiration that was incomprehensible words.

"Gongda, is this what you call Qin's life in danger? Why don't Brother Gongda play a game with Qin to see if Qin, as Gongda said before, is in danger of his life?" Qin Xu had already noticed the movement outside Pingyuan City.Regarding Zhang Liao, Qin Xu was 1 at ease, and even seeing Xia Houyuan's devouring eyes approaching with a long knife, he didn't feel anything, so he shook Lu Lingqi's little hand to appease his wife's emotions, Qin had a lot of time to spare, so he asked Xun You with a smile.

"Ahem, Qin Shijun was joking! You're joking!" Xun You, who was originally timid in front of Lu Lingqi, also showed some doubts on his slightly embarrassed face, and looked at him with a questioning look. Approaching the ox cart, Xia Houyuan, who was leading Qu Yi with Qin Xu and staring at them, had nothing to gain. After listening to Qin Xu's laughing question, Xun You, who had always been gentle and refined, couldn't help it. Covering his worried face, he didn't answer Qin Xu's words.

"General Xiahou, I haven't seen you for more than two years. How is your body?" Seeing that Zhang Liao behind him had already set up his battle formation, and there were more than [-] soldiers from the Second Battalion of Xiaoqi and Flying Cavalry. I wish I could just wait for the enemy to show up, and then I can use the sharpness of the two battalions of Xiaoqi and Flying Cavalry to add a touch to Lu Bujun's reputation book. Feeling envious, Qin Xu was naturally less worried.Seeing that Xia Houyuan and the two generals Xiandeng met eyes with fear, Qin Xu asked leisurely.

"Huh! Qin Xu, you bastard, don't rely on your tongue. If someone asks you, would you dare to fight someone face to face?" Facing Qin Xu's teasing "greeting", Xia Houyuan's yellow face involuntarily burst into tears. Put on a layer of red sauce.It was this Zhuzi who made Xia Houyuan, who rushed up the low hill first to fight for the first victory in the battle in the Wuming Valley, not only became his accomplice in Qin's "slaughter" of his brothers, but also became a stepping stone to fame, and even became a laughing stock .Even after this "battle" gradually became known to the world, it was made up by "bad guys" with ulterior motives into some jokes about "Wuhou Qinxu borrowed the power of the sky, Xiahou Miaocai fucked up" and spread everywhere, and with Qin Xu's reputation It is getting higher and higher, and there is a trend of spreading more and more widely, which makes General Miaocai helpless.Presumably, if nothing is done, Xia Houyuan may not be able to escape from Qin's pressure in his life.Xia Houyuan, who has endured such a great grievance, met the rightful lord at this moment, and immediately drew his sword to face each other without saying a word, which is already very admirable for his self-control.How could he give Qin Xu a good look?Ignoring Xun You's restraining eyes, he suddenly pointed the long knife in his hand at Qin Xu who was on the chariot, and asked angrily.

"Hmph! Who are you? Looking at your service and attire, Ding Po Tian is just a general with a loose rank. I'm afraid you don't even have a fifth rank? How qualified are you to challenge my husband? If you really want to fight, you must pass me first." Let's talk about it!" Originally, because I was so anxious and only cared about protecting Qin Xu before, I just thought that because of my recklessness, I wrongly blamed the "good guy" and caused Qin Xu to lose face in front of Xun You, standing right behind Qin Xu Lu Lingqi, who was full of remorse, saw Xia Houyuan clearly this time.He even raised his long knife, and had to fight a decisive battle with someone from Qin who "has no power to restrain a chicken". It seems that this person is not a good person this time, and he can't be wrong.

"Woman!?" It has to be said that Lu Lingqi is covered in armor, her face is covered with black veil, and she is holding such a big iron halberd in her hand. If she hadn't spoken at this moment, Xia Houyuan would never have thought that Qin would be happy in battle The person with his wife was stunned for a moment, and the fighting spirit that had accumulated was also stopped for a moment.

"Ling'er, don't be naughty! Miaocai is a general under Duke Cao's command. He is highly regarded by Duke Cao. He is also a powerful general in the army and has been famous for a long time. You are a little girl, what kind of world have you seen? How can you be so close to Miao? Did you just talk? Besides, our army is also an ally with Mr. Cao, so if you accidentally hurt him and Mr. Cao took the opportunity to make trouble for you, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for your father-in-law! Why don’t you stand aside!" Qin Xu's first few words seem to really want to reprimand Lu Lingqi, and play a good show of training his wife before the battle.Not only Xun You, but even Xia Houyuan, who had a strange expression on his face, calmed down a bit. Even Qin Xu, who spoke one of his clever words, didn't bother to reply. He just wanted to see how Lu Lingqi, who had been violent before, would respond.However, Lu Lingqi shrank back behind Qin Xu obediently because of seeing the inexplicable gazes of the two, and looked at Qin Xu, who was kind and thought of a donkey's liver and lungs, with aggrieved eyes.It makes people feel distressed, but I just want to laugh.Unexpectedly, before Xia Houyuan wanted to open his mouth to ridicule Qin, who only knows how to carry a gun in the nest, Qin Xu suddenly changed the subject in the middle of his sentence. Although he still wanted to teach Lu Lingqi a lesson, he saw Lu Lingqi There was a hint of rosiness on his small face, his starry eyes were full of arrogance, and the corners of his diamond-shaped mouth under the black veil even brought a sweet smile, and he just looked at Qin Xu happily.

"Qin! Zhong! Ming! I swear to kill you!" Xia Houyuan only felt a wave of evil fire from the tailbone along the spine and rushed straight to the forehead.I only hated myself for being so self-satisfied after listening to Qin Xu's words that seemed to be softening, why I forgot Qin Xu's mouth that could almost say dead people!As a result, another joke happened in front of so many people.Right now, Xia Houyuan is in the mood to swallow Qin Xu alive.

"Emissary Qin, if something is wrong, don't make fun of Miaocai! General Xiahou, do you still remember what my lord told you when I arrived?" Although Xun You came late, he did not catch up with Cao Jun and Qin. In the previous few contacts, I knew that as long as Qin Xu was mentioned, Xia Houyuan would definitely burst into anger. It was fine on weekdays, but it was like before coming to Pingyuan. If you can't see anything anymore, you will really live up to his reputation of being exhaustive.Seeing Xia Houyuan looking like he was about to eat people at this moment, and hearing the sound of horseshoes approaching by cavalry in the distance, he felt more and more uneasy.While passing the word to Qin Xu, he whispered persuasion to Xia Houyuan, who only wished to rush through the twenty steps and cut Qin Xu under the horse, with a wry smile on his face.

"Isn't this what Gongda said..." Qin Xu didn't continue.Seeing the soldiers on the horizon, who were originally just a line of black heads, the soldiers who rushed to the front could already see their half-lengths, even if they couldn't see clearly, they would be able to tell that the costumes of the incoming soldiers would definitely not be Gongsun , Liu Bei, or the costumes of the Yuan and Cao cavalry.And Xun You's unusual behavior can already explain everything.

"To tell you the truth! These soldiers are indeed not the ones my lord Cao received before. They are the Youzhou cavalry who want to take advantage of the chaos, or have other purposes." Qin Xu accepted With an inquiring look, Xun You nodded with a wry smile.The incoming army is very powerful. Judging by this posture, there are only five or six thousand soldiers, and there may be more than ten thousand.The only one who can come up with this number of cavalry is Gongsun Baiqi of Youzhou in the whole of Hebei.But everyone knows that in the Battle of Panhe three years ago, it was the soldier beside Qin Xu who entered the camp first, but he almost defeated all the cavalry that Gongsun Zan had gathered from the entire prefecture's army and horses. Perhaps the casualties are relatively small. After all, there are only 800 people in the camp first, and it will definitely not cause too much damage. However, the horses definitely lost more than [-]% in that battle, followed by years of battles , even if Youzhou has a lot of horse farms, they can't afford such consumption. It seems that without three or five years of recuperation, it will be even more difficult to gather another cavalry into the formation.Not to mention that he dared to cross the border to attack the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion who had been resting in the plain for more than a year. Didn't they want to court death?

"Mr. Gongda said that those who come are... Black Mountain bandits?" Qin Xu understood Xun You's words.I also admire Xun You as worthy of being a person who can be famous through the ages. He really can afford it and let it go. Just now, he used this as a bargaining chip to get enough benefits from Qin Xu. Seeing that the situation has changed, he immediately put himself All the bargaining chips that were relied on before have been said.No matter why Xun You suddenly did this, Qin Xu's sense of Xun You suddenly raised a level.

"Almost!" Xun You said in an ambiguous way.But the expression on his face has fully proved the truth of Xun You's words.Seeing Qin Xu's disbelief, Xun You smiled wryly and said, "You don't have to be suspicious of Qin Shijun. These soldiers are not... eh..."

Originally, after hearing Xun You's explanation, Qin Xu's first subconscious reaction was that maybe Lao Cao intended to kill someone with a knife.After all, although it can be expected that the Black Mountain bandit must have something to do with Cao Cao, after all, this matter is just fantasy before there is absolute evidence.However, Bai Rao, one of the Black Mountain bandit generals, was actually imprisoned in the military prison, guarded by brave and strong men from the auxiliary soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion.Cao Cao can completely order the black mountain bandits to come out in full force as rescuers, and without the casualties of a single soldier, they can attack the plains where the small walls of the city are broken to express their hatred.But after Qin Xu heard what Xun You said, especially Xun You's face and tone really didn't look like a fake. What's going on?Although there are different opinions, it is certain that Cao Cao's temperament will sometimes give up some things brazenly to achieve his goals.But at the moment, if Cao Cao is really willing to abandon the military strategist Xun You and the general Xia Houyuan, and even bear the Xun family and his own family's in-laws, if the Xiahou family who have been friends for generations hates him, Qin Xu will not believe Cao Cao even if he is killed. He would have made such a big sacrifice just for him, Qin, and Zhang Liao, the leader of the Xiaoqi Battalion whose reputation was far from being well-known at this time.Maybe, as Xun You said, something must have gone wrong.That's why Xun You originally wanted to exchange the captured generals of Cao Jun with news related to Pingyuan's gains and losses, but unexpectedly, a second wave of troops appeared whose target was obviously not only Qin Xu's army.In the absence of any information, even if Xun You has exhausted his plans, some monks at the moment are still puzzled. He doesn't know how he and Cao Cao and his colleagues have discussed the plan for half a night. .

"Mr. Gongda, please return to the formation quickly!" Just as he was thinking about what was going on, the cavalry of the Xiaoqi Battalion under Zhang Liao's command had already activated, and they were forming arrow formations towards the incoming soldiers. gallop away.Cheng Lian, a flying cavalry battalion, was guarding both sides of the "arrow", charging past without fear.An incomprehensible scene happened. Facing the charge of soldiers from Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian battalions, these soldiers dressed up like the black bandits that Qin Xu had seen from afar actually made a strange move. Instead of continuing to concentrate their forces to deal with the elites of Lu Bu's army, they instead allocated half of their forces to bypass the Pingyuan army and head towards the place where Qin Xu and Xun You were. Charge to the stalemate!

"Not good! Their goal is..." Qin Xu and Xun You suddenly seemed to understand something at the same time!
