Lu's relatives

Chapter 446 Chen Deng offers advice, Qin Xu breaks the city
Danyang soldiers are well-known throughout the Han for their bravery and poor discipline.Qin Xu can't guarantee how strict the military discipline of the Danyang soldiers who occupied Guangling will be out of hatred for Xuzhou Prefecture.

Moreover, when he received a letter from Guo Jia asking for help, he said that he could only stick to it for a month. If it was overdue, then no wonder he, Guo Fengxiao, had to obey the destiny to do his best.Calculating the time back and forth, it has been nearly 20 days now.Although Qin Xu believes that Guo Jia can do what he says, and he will never discount it if he says it will be a month, he still dare not delay the slightest time. He hastened along the way, changing horses without changing people, and even passing by the house without getting off his horse. One step, because if Guangling was lost this time, it would be a trivial matter, and if it caused Guo Jia to have troubles, then Qin Xu would have to cry to death.

Qin Xu, who had something to worry about, greeted Xuzhou Civil and Military Affairs, briefly talked with Zhang Zhao about Xuzhou affairs, and immediately rejected the dinner invitations from his brother-in-law Mi Zhu and Lu Bu's cheap father-in-law Cao Bao's family, and directly stayed in the Qingzhou barracks .

Although Qin Xu was the commander of the Qingzhou barracks appointed by Lu Bu, the daily affairs of the Qingzhou barracks were presided over by the deputy commander Cao Xing because Qin Xu was not in Xuzhou.Although Qin Xu's impression of Cao Xing only came from Xiahou Dun's single eye, it is undeniable that being selected by Lv Bu as the military commander who actually commanded the first battalion, at least Cao Xing still has a lot of advantages in commanding the army. Put the brush on.

The Qingzhou Barracks is located in the southeast of Xiapi. It was chosen on the edge of the martial arts field that originally belonged to the Danyang soldiers of the former Xuzhou Mu Taoqian's lineage. The green tents in the water were neatly arranged, and they were arranged in formations according to the art of war, which is quite lawful.

It was already dark when Qin Xu came, and pine oil torches were burning in the open ground in front of the camp, and the soldiers lined up in rows could feel a chilling atmosphere from a long distance away.The hardcover soldiers in black clothes, standing tall and straight like javelins, all declare the majesty of this army, and there is no shadow of the Yellow Turban bandits who ravaged Qingzhou back then.

The main weapons of these soldiers are long spears. The nearly four-meter-long white wax poles bear the tip of the spears cast with inverted teeth, which is ferocious and powerful; Bow and arrow clusters of white feathers protruding from the quiver slanted across.Qin Xu knew that Cao Xing was very good at bows and arrows. Even Lu Bu was full of praise for his skills in this area. Presumably these soldiers also got the true biography of Cao Xing.

As Qin Xu and others got off their horses and came closer, they were watched by tens of thousands of eyes with reverence and faith. Qin Xu, who has always pursued making a fortune in a low-key manner, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in the world.

"Brothers, it's been a long time!" Because Lu Bu's deliberate "God-making Movement" made up for the lack of faith of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and Qin Xu used all kinds of methods beyond the reach of human beings when he quelled Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, it doesn't prevent Qingzhou soldiers from admiring Qin Xu to an extremely high level.

"Shuai Qin is mighty!" As if well-trained, just as Qin Xu finished speaking, the whole camp suddenly burst into loud roars in unison.Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, which made the first camp soldiers who came behind Qin Xu change their expressions. They had to hold on to the restless horse beside them with all their strength, and their faces were also flushed. This is the second time that "Qin Shuai", which has a strong yellow scarf color, has appeared in Qingzhou soldiers' mouths. It is almost the unique title Qingzhou soldiers have for Qin Xu, the spiritual leader. There is a kind of invincible momentum of Wan Fu Jing Cong when Zhang Jiao ascended the heights.

Cao Xing finally saw Qin Xu's position in the hearts of these Qingzhou soldiers. Even though Lu Bu was very popular with the soldiers, he had never seen such a scene of thousands of people together.In the past two years of leading the Qingzhou soldiers, Cao Xing knows how rebellious these people are. If he has some unique skills in bows and arrows, he doesn't know how many times he has been despised by these people. .But as for Qin Xu, Cao Xing knew Qin Xu's background very well. Although he hadn't seen him in these years, Qin Xu was obviously much stronger than before. If Qin Xu wasn't Lu Bu's son-in-law, and there wasn't a big black guy beside him who stayed with him all day, Cao Xing would still be able to knock Qin Xu down in a few breaths.But who knew that such a kid who couldn't lift his shoulders or hands two years ago could win the hearts of so many brave soldiers, which is really amazing.

At the beginning, I just heard that the Qingzhou soldiers were almost Qin Xu's private soldiers, and that Lu Bu even acquiesced in the existence of such a strange army in his army. Cao Xing, who had heard about Qin Xu's "deeds" of subduing the Yellow Turban, thought that at most he would It's just that Qin Xu's small favors have been bestowed on these people. After all, most of the Lu Bujun's senior officials know that the instigator of Qingzhou refugee policy is Qin Xu's hand.From Cao Xing's point of view, even these stubborn soldiers who don't obey discipline very much, even if they listen to Qin Xu's words, it's just a desire to repay their kindness.It wasn't until he saw such a scene that Cao Xing realized how different his previous thinking was from the reality.It is no exaggeration to say that the hearts of these Qingzhou soldiers have been captured by Qin Xu. Although they still belong to the second-line battle order of Lv Bu's army in name, as long as Qin Xu gives an order to fight against Lv Bu's army, Cao Xing There is no doubt that this group of ruthless people who are not weaker than the trapped camp in terms of individual combat strength or battle formation will immediately charge forward with their knives.While Cao Xing was worried, he couldn't help feeling a little lucky, because his lord had a long-term vision and accepted such an evildoer as his son-in-law.

"Brothers, this time the Danyang soldiers rebelled, wreaked havoc on Xuzhou, and poisoned Guangling. Today Qin needs the help of the lords to suppress the rebels. Will the lords lend their strength?" After being stared at by these pure eyes for a long time, Qin Xu, who didn't get used to it, also forgot all the excuses he had thought up all the way here, and Cao Xing's expression beside him also ignored him, and asked loudly.

"Willing to die for Shuai Qin!"

"Willing to die for Shuai Qin!"

The role of a leader is great.If the previous Qingzhou soldiers were a group of brave and arrogant soldiers who refused to obey discipline, now this arrogant soldier already has a military spirit that can restrain and stimulate its higher-level combat power.Qin Xu can now somewhat understand why the Qingzhou soldiers in history fought all over under Cao Cao's command, but after Cao Cao's death, they were collectively disarmed and returned to the fields, and have since disappeared in the long river of history.This is an army that thinks in one place, exerts its strength in one place, nearly 2 people are like one person, and has faith. The strength displayed by such an army when it bursts out is enough to make any army dare to fight. trembling.

Shouting like a tide seemed to be contagious, which made the first soldiers behind Qin Xu also excited. In addition to Cao Xing who was worried, even Dian Wei beside Qin Xu had red eye circles and obvious shortness of breath. a lot.

"Decree! All the troops go back to the base camp to rest! Tomorrow, we will prepare meals at the fourth watch, and set off at the fifth watch! The soldiers will go to Guangling!" Seeing that the atmosphere continues to be so lively, the entire city of Xiapi may not be alarmed.Although this kind of aura is needed to send a signal to the prying people in Xiapi City, but if it is too late, if you scare people, the gain will outweigh the loss.

"General Cao is good at commanding the troops! The more than two hundred archers must be a gift from General Cao to Qin, right?" Qin Xu moved into the Qingzhou barracks after finally calming down the enthusiastic morale of the Qingzhou soldiers. In the big tent of the Chinese army surrounded by tents, Cao Xing was beside him, looking very worried. Qin Xu thought that Cao Xing was worried about the battle in Guangling. After all, he has experienced quite a few battles since he became an army, so he asked jokingly and with a smile.

"Uh! Yes! General Qin has good eyesight!" Cao Xing was taken aback by Qin Xu's sudden question, and then remembered that the Qingzhou barracks had changed commanders, and he was a commander who had the heart of the soldiers. Cao Xing hurriedly straightened it out. With a serious look on his face, he said to Qin Xu: "When the general was training the soldiers, he learned that many of them were hunters in the mountains before. If there is no long-range strike force in the middle, it will still be a little inconvenient after all. It just so happens that the last general has some achievements and some experience in the bow and arrow, so..."

"Heh... General Cao!" Qin Xu waved his hand, and said with a smile to Cao Xing, who had a serious expression on his face, "General Cao doesn't have to be so solemn. When General Cao fought and killed the enemy from the lord, Xu Bishi was nothing more than a young boy. And if we talk about it with Ling'er, maybe Qin would have to call General Cao a great uncle."

"The last general is terrified! Don't dare to be a general of Qin who loves you so much!" Cao Xing had heard for a long time that Qin Xu was very popular among the senior generals of Lv Bu's army. Not to mention the friendly halo that Qin Xu had brought out of his "awe" of historical figures at the beginning, it also has a considerable proportion.So even though Cao Xing was worried about Lu Bu's prestige in the army and had deep scruples about Qin Xu, he had to say that he had friendship with Qin Xu, and he felt only equality and respect, without any condescension. Overbearing viciousness.

"General Cao, you don't need to be so polite! This time to attack Guangling, we must rely on the archers trained by the general. I hope that General Cao will not hide his secrets!" Qin Xu said with a smile and waved his hands.

"This...promise!" Qin Xu intends to establish a good relationship with this archer general who is one of the eight best generals in history, but only flashes like a shooting star, and is quite unknown in history.The posture was very low, which made Cao Xing feel quite flattered.

Nothing to say all night.When the sky was just getting bright, Qin Xu was awakened by the sound of drums and footsteps in the army. He hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, and finally reached his destination. The rest of the night made Qin Xu feel Body is full of strength.Walking out of the military tent, taking advantage of the morning breeze, he stretched his exhausted body, completed the "homework" assigned by his little wife Lu Lingqi, filled a few mouthfuls of food indiscriminately, and did not disturb Zhang Zhao and a series of Xuzhou officials. The man left a letter, and under the eager eyes of Qingzhou soldiers, he left Xiapi City.

Xiapi is more than a hundred miles away from the border of Guangling, and there is still more than 100 miles to Guangling County. Since there is not much time left for him, Qin Xu ordered the princes to march quickly. Focus on rest.It's not that Qin Xu doesn't cherish soldiers.Although the Qingzhou soldiers are composed of infantry, when the former Xuzhou Mu Taoqian asked for help from Lu Bu because of the yellow scarf besieging the city, the Qingzhou soldiers once showed their strong endurance and recovery ability.From Linzi to Xiapi, the distance of more than 100 li, the physical strength to travel quickly for three days, and only a short rest for about a stick of incense, they broke through in one fell swoop and let Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers occupy the city. It was also quite difficult for the coalition forces of Kan Xuan and Yu Fangzhong of the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans.Now Kan Xuan and Yu Fang, the leader of the Yellow Turban bandits, have become the clouds of the past, but the strength of the Qingzhou soldiers has left a strong impression on the world.Right now, this is only a distance of more than [-] miles, which is really not a problem for Qingzhou soldiers.

Qingzhou soldiers are also worthy of the title of fierce soldiers.Especially with Qin Xu in the army, except for the soldiers who stayed at the main camp to support the follow-up auxiliary troops to transport food and grass, the marching speed of the [-] Qingzhou soldiers who went out this time was actually not weaker than those who rode in the army. Fifty veterans who immediately escorted Qin Xu boarded the camp first.This actually made the soldiers who entered the camp first, who were supposed to be Qin Xu's private soldiers, feel competitive.It's nothing else, but they are also following General Qin, and their family is one of the world's elite following Qin Xu's famous old brand, and they are also riding horses. How can these gangs form an army for two years and fight once? I haven't fought before. I just came from a bunch of mud legs before, and I have been compared to the recruits of thieves?Being robbed of the limelight on such a small matter, how can I explain to my brothers and colleagues when I go back in the future? If I can't say that I am in charge of Qu Yi, I will definitely not have a good face!

With this kind of mentality of competition, Qingzhou soldiers will naturally not be willing to fall behind. Compared with Danyang soldiers, the army is full of old folks, but in terms of military discipline, I don’t know how many times better than Danyang soldiers. Under such circumstances, with two fleshy legs, they were evenly matched with the first soldiers who entered the camp.So much so that Qin Xu originally thought that he could only reach Guangling territory after dark, but just after noon, he had already penetrated twenty miles into Guangling territory.

Whether it was the soldiers from Qingzhou or the fifty veterans who first boarded the camp, they were all Qin Xu's heart and soul, and they were the capital to settle down in front of the elite soldiers of Danyang who were already rebels.Qin Xu is naturally optimistic about the normal competition, but if it hurts his harmony, health, and morale, it is not the ending Qin Xu wants.Seeing that although they were all exhausted, even the horses could not bear it, but they still went to the camp with Qingzhou soldiers endlessly in order to fight for breath, Qin Xu could only give orders with a wry smile, and camped on the spot to rest and recover his strength , and at the same time strengthen vigilance to prevent being taken advantage of by Danyang rebels.

However, it turns out that Qin Xu may have been worrying too much.Until the evening, the Qingzhou soldiers sent from Wujun had already replaced Guo Jia's reply letter, and the scouts who had been sent out did not see any traces of the Danyang rebels.

Guo Jia's reply letter was written very simply.The lines between the lines were as Qin Xu expected, he didn't take the Danyang rebels in Guangling too seriously at all, but in a private tone, while urging Qin Xu to quickly lead the troops across the river, he also vaguely revealed some dislikes. Worries about the situation in Jiangdong and confidence in everything.

For Guo Jia, a genius, Qin Xu is completely at ease!Just like in Guo Jia's letter of appeal for help, he said that he could stick to it for a month and keep the two counties of Wu County and Kuaiji, so Qin Xu believed that the two counties would be safe within a month.The previous urgency was mainly due to his concern for his friend who was not in good health, and the Jiangdong Meizhou Lang in Yuzhang really made Qin Xu feel uneasy. After seeing the fuzzy reply, Qin Xu finally felt relieved.

The army had eaten their meals and rested for half a day. It was only about [-] miles away, and according to the news sent back by Tan Ma, the Danyang rebels entrenched in Guangling County still cared about some of the same origin, and did not wreak havoc on the people of Guangling. , The whole army was huddled in the city, seeming to be hoarding food and grass. It seemed that they were really moved by the persuasion of Yan's father and son who occupied Danyang County to return home, and planned to go to Yan's father and son.Moreover, Tao Gen, the leader of the Danyang rebel army at this time, did not seem to be a battle-hardened figure. After finding no news about Guangling prefect Chen Deng, he opened and closed Guangling County, and would rather send troops to monitor the people. He went in and out to transport food into the city, and he didn't let out even a scouting horse or sentry cavalry to investigate. I really don't know what Tao Gen was thinking.

But this is excellent news for Qin Xu.The secret road I mentioned in a joke with Chen Deng before, after hearing that it can only accommodate a few people, I have given up the idea of ​​using it to enter the city to defeat the enemy. After all, there are tens of thousands of Danyang soldiers in Guangling County. Taking advantage of the other side's carelessness, hundreds of thousands of people can be put in, but facing tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, this number of people is obviously not enough.But now that he has received the news of Guangling, Qin Xu almost feels that if Tao Gen is not mentally handicapped, then he has other tricks to deal with the Xuzhou soldiers who will definitely come to put down the rebellion. Of course, it cannot be denied that Tao Gen may also be right. The person who planned all this behind the scenes is too trustworthy.

Qin Xu made a fuss.Immediately called Cao Xing and ordered him to lead the two hundred archers selected by him to set off first, to take action at the place where Qin Xu was informed, and Qin Xu continued to lead the army, and was only ten miles away from Guangling County. , I haven’t seen the Danyang rebels go out of the city to fight, I lamented that a group of Danyang soldiers who were like wolves and tigers rebelled with what kind of person this time, and only the soldiers who first boarded the camp who ordered to accompany them dumbfoundedly beat themselves up. Wearing the guard of honor of the governor of Xuzhou, remind the Danyang rebels in Guangling City that he, the special guard, the general of Zhengdong, the governor of Xuzhou, and Qin Xu, Marquis of Wuting, are here to "find fault"!
