Lu's relatives

Chapter 410 Assisting "Allies"

With the help of a big killer such as Xiandeng crossbow, first boarded the camp and burst into blood, even if the crossbow slot was empty, they simply did not reload it in a roundabout way. Under the direct conflict, the Flying Cavalry Battalion and the Xiaoqi Battalion who had narrowed the battle line rushed over to help. The Black Mountain Bandit Cavalry, which seemed to be overwhelming, was immediately blocked.These are actually just a group of civilians who have just put down their hoes, or black mountain bandits who plunder for a living. They may not be very proficient in riding horses. It only took two sticks of incense time for Lv Bujun's two battalions of Xiaoqi and Flying Cavalry, as well as the elite soldiers from all over the world to ascend to the dead. Most of the 2000 people have been killed, and even the little leader of the black bandit, who has been advocating a huge reward just now and bewitching others to charge forward while hiding behind others, was also killed by an arrow that drew Leng Zi .

Compared with Qin Xu's smooth battle, Xia Houyuan's troops, who received the most attention, were not so relaxed and happy.Although he has the help of the elite Puyang cavalry and the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Camp, but because he saw the black mountain bandit cavalry who thought he was an "ally" suddenly showed his fangs, he rushed to fight. In a place where the terrain is not very wide, the distance is too forced to take advantage of the cavalry, and the original [-]% of the combat power is at most [-]% to [-]%.As for the Black Mountain Bandit Cavalry rushing towards Xia Houyuan's command, although their fighting power was scumbag, they had the momentum of their horses to help them after all. The way these many people fought like a swarm of swarms really played a certain role.

In fact, the biggest advantage of the cavalry is to charge in groups, split the enemy army, and attack them separately.If you are caught in a melee and don't have a few years of rigorous training to adapt to immediate combat, you might as well be as flexible as infantry.It was the same when they boarded the camp and defeated the Gongsun cavalry first. If the dust had not disturbed the cavalry's sight, which weakened the impact speed, and pretended to be a big one, charging left and right, and relying on such a big killer, if they wanted to fight against the tens of thousands of cavalry. Surviving the impact is a very serious problem, let alone defeating it.

But now Xiahouyuan's cavalry and the tiger and leopard cavalry specially sent by Cao Cao to "show off" obviously encountered this problem.When dealing with emergencies, he is not as decisive as the "landlord" Zhang Liao. It is no wonder that he does not suffer under a hasty fight.That is to say, Xia Houyuan had a few brushes anyway, and he quickly controlled the situation after the initial chaos, but it had already caused some casualties, and even the tiger and leopard cavalry were quite damaged because Xia Houyuan used the wrong place.

"General Wenyuan, old man, hurry up and help the 'allies', kill the incoming enemies, um...you must keep Xun Gongda safe!" Joining the new force of the Flying Cavalry and the Xiaoqi Second Battalion, Qin Xu's overall situation has been decided. The chariot of Qin Xu, who was riding close at hand, became an insurmountable gap. Just a dozen steps in front of the chariot, it was like Shura's purgatory, covered with corpses of people and horses, and the scarlet blood froth covered the ground. They were all dyed black and red, and the pungent fishy smell was disgusting.Qin Xu covered his nose, and in a muffled voice ordered the battle to end. It was Cheng Lian and Qu Yi who had rushed to the front and said.

"No!" Zhang Liao led an elite group of Xiao cavalry here, and the Black Mountain bandit cavalry could not approach at all. Although Xia Houyuan's side managed to stabilize the situation, the place was narrow after all, although there were elite cavalry and tigers and leopards The soldiers of the battalion were still there, but they couldn't hold back their combat power and couldn't use it. They were almost crushed and beaten by the fearless black mountain bandits.Cheng Lian was ordered to lead his headquarters and Qu Yi's elite guards, who had mounted the crossbow before Qin Xu's chariot and had not yet fired an arrow, ordered them to head towards Cao Jun, who was still entangled with the Black Mountain bandits a hundred paces away. .

"Brothers Cao Jun, are your legs weak? Let it go! It's just a bandit, get out of the way and let the men come!" Seeing the soldiers who entered the camp first under his command, after the fierce battle just now, he really recovered a bit. Assuming the demeanor of a dead soldier, Qu Yi was in a cheerful mood.Although deep down in his heart, he only wished that Cao Jun, who was almost in a fight with his family, would die, but since Qin Xu had given the order, as he had already tied the wealth and wealth with Qin, he thought he could be regarded as a man. Qu Yi, a "deadly loyal" member of Qin Xu's line in Lv Bu's army, even though he had doubts, forcibly suppressed him and faithfully carried out Qin Xu's military orders.Of course, what Qin Xu ordered had to be done. Since he wanted to rescue the "friendly army", Qu Yi would naturally not be ambiguous. "Spray" out.In the beginning, Qu Yi was just scolding alone, but then he seemed to return to the time when Qu Yi led himself and others across Hebei. The soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion also seemed to be infected, and they started to follow suit.

"This group of ignorant bastards!" Xia Houyuan was surprised to see his proud cavalry being suppressed and beaten by a group of black mountain bandits.Qin Xu was able to "abandon the past suspicions" and send troops to rescue. To be honest, although Xia Houyuan said he didn't appreciate it, it was actually a bit of luck.But I didn't expect that the newly joined new force would be fierce, but this mouth is really as hateful as that Qin.Never forget to grab some cheap ones.Cooperating with the soldiers under his command in the case of unfavorable terrain, the advantage of the cavalry is almost impossible to come out, and even the territory is narrow, and it is almost difficult to look at each other from head to tail, and [-]% of the casualties are enough to make Montenegro, which has the same number as his own. The thieves lost more than half of their losses, and there were only "so many" remnants of the defeated generals who were entangled with their own soldiers, and the "credit" that they might be able to "finish the job" in half an hour was just soft feet in Qu Yi's eyes?Too arrogant!Xia Houyuan saw that the arrival of the new force, especially the addition of Xiandeng Jinnu, who had just made meritorious service in front of Qin Xu's formation, did greatly reduce the pressure on his side. The range has decreased, and the attrition of Black Bandit Cavalry has also increased suddenly.

"Hey! What do you people want to do?" Before the love-hate relationship was mixed, Xia Houyuan, who was entangled in the entanglement, found that Xun You, the mastermind of the army who was originally guarded by more than a dozen tiger and leopard cavalry regiments, had disappeared. .When I looked carefully, I found that the ox cart that was originally used as a show for Xun You had already been untied and put on two horses, and was being "escorted" by a person dressed as a Lu Bu army general. Speeding towards the direction of Pingyuan City, the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers who were supposed to be Xun You's guards, but were ordered not to leave Xun You for half a step, had disappeared.When I looked more closely, those ghastly soldiers who rushed to the front of the formation, sneered unhappily, and "complained" to themselves in front of others, were not the ones who "disappeared" inexplicably Who is the guard?

"Is this group of people stuffed with donkey hair?" At this moment, Qin Xu, who had retreated to the low wall of Pingyuan City, but was still paying attention to the situation in the field, had the same thoughts as Xia Houyuan.Tigers and leopards are brave if they ride bravely, but this shortcoming of ignorance of aggressive generals is a common problem of almost all soldiers who can be called elite soldiers.After Qu Yi's few words that were neither painful nor itchy, he became violently murderous, and when he saw Feiqi and Xiandeng the second battalion came to help, he even forgot the fact that the two families almost fought just an hour ago, and he was even relieved He handed over Xun You to Cheng Lian.I really don't know whether these soldiers are too trusting of their comrades, or whether Cheng Lian's tricks are too sharp.

"Man is not as good as God!" Compared to Qin Xu and Xia Houyuan's remnants, Xun You, who was being stuffed in the horse-drawn cart by Cheng Lian at the moment, was really dumbfounded.

What is this all about!I didn't intend to come this time to take advantage of the news that Liu Bei, who is already full-fledged in Youzhou, also intends to get a share of the Hebei incident, and the first thing to bear the brunt is to avenge the news of taking Pingyuan, and use it as a bargaining chip. "To appease" Qin Xu, is it best to stay in the plain and not move lightly?Moreover, I brought a large army here, thinking that even if Qin Xu couldn't be moved, with these six thousand soldiers and horses here, how could he hold on for a while, right?As long as Cao Cao can wait until the soldiers and horses mobilized from various places are assembled, even if Qin Xu or Lu Bu really wants to intervene in Hebei, he will have to weigh it.

But why did the development of the matter almost run counter to what I had expected?Firstly, Cheng Yu, who failed to accomplish anything but failed, offended Qin Xu again for no reason.And it exposed the connection between his lord Cao Cao and the Black Mountain bandits.If only this matter is actually easy to say, after all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, but it is just a matter of time difference. In fact, it can be edited anyway. At worst, it is because some people hate Cao Cao, and they can't see the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty making great contributions to suppressing appeasement. Anyway, the little emperor of Xuchang would not seriously come to Hebei for a "field investigation".But what happened next completely stupefied Xun You, who was known as an inexhaustible strategy.Youzhou Liu Bei couldn't wait for a long time, but the Heishan bandit, who had secretly informed the song, suddenly turned his face, and seemed to be far more interested in his own soldiers than Qin Xu's.If it hadn't been for seeing Qin Xu's "guard" first board the camp suddenly become ruthless, almost killing more than 2000 Black Mountain bandits, and after the situation stabilized there, he sent troops to help his side, Xun You would have been a little suspicious. Qin Xu, who has made a perfect "convict record" of sending down one million yellow turbans in Qingzhou, is it true that he has gone back to his old ways this time, and secretly recruited black mountain bandits and himself to make fun of him?

Seeing that a friend has become an enemy, but an imaginary enemy has become a savior, Xun You is very depressed. He really can't figure out what is wrong with this?Things have come to this point, what can be said to be exhaustive!Which strategist can calculate himself into the opponent's frame?Seeing Cheng Lian who, although he used respectful words, could not have two thoughts, and only wanted to "capture" himself to see Qin Xu, Xun You could only smile wryly.

It seems that it is indeed time to "talk" with Lu Bujun represented by Qin Xu.Before, relying on the help of the black mountain bandits, who can "eat well" in almost the entire three states of Hebei, he was naturally confident, but now that the black mountain is turning against the water, Cao Cao has one less card in his hand, except that he was ordered by the emperor to come here. Apart from this big gimmick, there was nothing else he could do with Qin Xu, who had the help of the Zhen family, a wealthy businessman from Hebei, who was not weaker than himself at all, and who had a bridgehead like Pingyuan.Situation is stronger than people!It would be better to be a bachelor, seeing that the situation is getting worse and worse, while still having some bargaining chips, discuss a "spoil sharing agreement" with Lu Bu's army, and try to keep the "benefits" that his own forces deserve. valid reason.

"Mr. Gongda, it seems that Qin's life should be considered safe!" Qin Xu said with a smile when he saw Xun You again on the low city wall of Pingyuan County.This was Xun You's opening remarks when he first met Qin Xu.This time Qin Xu said that he would come out, and it was not without spoofing the mentality of this famous person who has been passed down through the ages.

"The envoy of Qin is joking! You are very grateful for the help of the envoy this time. However, I am afraid that the envoy will not just want to hear some words of thanks from Xun You when he is called this time? If you have any advice, please let me know." Make it clear! If there is something that Xun Mou can use, Xun Mou dare not do his best!" Xun You, as always, a bachelor, speaks straightforwardly, coupled with his face that is easy to gain the trust of others and his sincere and unyielding tone, if it is not for two lifetimes Qin Xu, who is a man, knows that this man in front of him is a great counselor who has been famous through the ages, a real master of manipulating people's hearts, so he might really think that this man with a measured tone and a sincere face is a straightforward personality. What about the Chinese.

"Mr. Gongda, you are being polite! You and I are both ministers of the Han Dynasty. In the face of thieves and bandits, we naturally have to help each other. Besides, even if you and I may not have the same political views, we each have our own masters, but we are allies no matter what! What's the point of worrying about trivial matters? Mr. Gongda must never talk about it again in the future!" As expected of an old fox who has lived for many years, Xun You has something to say in his words. retreat.It can be seen that it is cautious and leak-free.However, Qin Xu is no longer a rookie when he first came here, who wouldn't be able to argue!Just waste it!I still don't believe that you, Cao Jun's mastermind, are now in Pingyuan City, and Xia Houyuan, who is just outside the city, can still hold his breath, let's see who can outsmart whom.

"Uh... I don't know why Qin Shijun came to Pingyuan this time. Could it be because of the crime in Pingyuan before? Is there enough manpower? My Lord Cao is currently in Baima, and he is ordered by the emperor to mediate the war in Hebei. There are at least some people under his command. Fifty to seventy thousand soldiers, if the envoy of Qin needs it, Xun can help! Even if the envoy of Qin wants to follow the example of Liu Bei in Youzhou to get a share of Hebei affairs, Xun can also sue the lord on his behalf. Believe in the lord Knowing that Qin Shijun is so handsome and helpful, I will definitely be very happy!" It must be that Qin Xu did not expect Qin Xu to be so slippery, making people unable to catch a few words.The helplessness in Xun You's eyes grew stronger.I definitely didn't read the almanac when I went out!It's just a matter of one day at a time and one day at a time, why do you have to pick a day like today when the Tai Sui is at the head.Looking at Qin Xu's tired and lazy appearance, all fools know that this Zhuzi is making fun of himself, waiting for him to open the "chip", and if he continues to argue, there will be no results. Xun You habitually left a word in his words. "Live button", asked straight to the point.

"Mr. Gongda is so unreasonable!" Qin Xu smiled indifferently, and said: "Pingyuan is the Qingzhou government, and Qin is also an official of Qingzhou, why can't he come to his own land to inspect it? Is it possible that I have to report to General Cao? Besides, Qin is also Wu Tinghou who was appointed by the emperor of Han Dynasty. What do you say that I, the governor of Xuzhou, covet your Jizhou that General Cao intends to get involved? Why? I don’t believe it ? Whether it is Qin or that father-in-law, General Lu, they are all loyal men who keep their promises, so it is impossible to lie to you with words?"

"Aren't there too many lies?" Xun You curled his lips inwardly with some disdain.When encountering a person like Qin Xu who refuses to accept his account, especially when he has saved his life, Xun You, who has been influenced by everyone's family tradition since childhood, is really embarrassed to say the irony that has been brewing for a long time.Almost stunned for a while, Xun You, who felt that his brain was not enough, finally understood the meaning of Qin Xu's words. He wanted Cao Cao to give an explanation, and suddenly showed a wry smile and said: " Qin Shijun's sharp mouth, Xun You is willing to bow down. The previous incident is really a huge misunderstanding. I think even my Lord Cao is willing to give Qin Shijun an explanation."

As for Qin Xu's intention to have a direct conversation with Cao Cao, Xun You, who was relieved, almost didn't think about it, and agreed instead of Cao Cao.In fact, Xun You was also helpless. If it was only about Cheng Yu, it would be fine to talk about it. Anyway, Qin Xu's "greedy" name, at least the people in Yanzhou back then had experienced it personally.As long as you have money and food, nothing is impossible!Whether it was a captured general of his own family or others, even the little emperor could be sold to Cao Cao by someone from Qin and made a huge profit.This is enough to show the "ability" of the human trafficker Qin.At worst, if you give more money and food, the soldiers of Cao Jun, Cheng Yu and Bai Rao who were captured alive will be rescued, and Xun You doesn't take these things to heart.There is no need to follow Qin Xu's words like this, even if it is foreseeable that Cao Cao knew that his family was defeated again, and he did not have the guts to deter others, but instead, he burst into anger after accepting a great favor.But the sudden change of behavior at the moment has to be like this!The betrayal of the black bandits made Cao Cao's original advantage in Hebei disappear instantly.Whether Zhang Yan, the leader of the black mountain bandit, had other ideas, or someone behind the scenes was deliberately targeting Cao Jun, it was not good news.And until now, Cao Cao's "scheduled" [-] army has barely gathered half before Xun You left.It was only with the huge financial support of the Hedong Wei family that they gathered these numbers.Originally, Cao Cao could completely "shock" the surrounding forces with the bargaining chip of the emperor's order.But now that the black mountain bandits are involved, Xun You has to start thinking about helping Cao, who is "lonely and lonely", to find an ally who can share the interests of Hebei without shaking his own foundation...
