Lu's relatives

Chapter 46 Black Mountain Raiders

Cai Yan's recent behavior is somewhat abnormal.

Not only is it like Cai Yong going out to visit friends, he disappears every now and then, and when he comes back, his delicate face is full of exhaustion, his eyes full of aura are bloodshot, and even Lu Lingqi, who is the closest to him during the day, is kept in the dark. It is unclear where Cai Yan went.

The problem is that Cai Yong is famous all over the world, he is called a great Confucian in the country, he has a high reputation among the gentry, and he has a lot of fans in Hanoi, so the itinerary is understandable; but Cai Yan is also like this, which really makes Qin Xu scratch his head.

He didn't know what to ask, and Cai Yan was not someone from Qin Xu, so Qin Xu couldn't say that.

Regarding Cai Yan, Qin Xu was actually not sure what he took Cai Yan for.

Cai Yan is mature, calm, charming, intellectual, and slightly dark-bellied. This kind of perfect woman is almost a man's natural nemesis. It is normal to be attracted.

Especially Master Qin who has never been in love in two lifetimes.

If it is said that Cai Yan has no feelings for Qin Xu, even a fool can see the indelible concern in his eyes, which is completely different from other people. Otherwise, how could Cai Yong, a stubborn old man, guard against thieves? But if it is said that the relationship is unusual, it is hard to say, when the two get along, Cai Yan always makes Qin Xu feel a sense of distance, as if there is always a layer of tulle between the two, and the distance Very close, just can't see clearly.

Tangled ah!
The "successful people" who claimed to be "successful" in their previous life were nothing more than ego fantasies, otherwise they wouldn't be single at the age of 30.

But what made Qin Xu even more entangled and even a little panicked was that whenever Cai Yan appeared in his mind, the figure of a pretty little girl always appeared in his mind, lingering.

My God, two lifetimes add up to more than 40 years old. There is no reason to be so and so. The relationship with Cai Yan has dropped to a freezing point, and after leaving for so long, no Wei family has come to look for him, so there is no psychological pressure at all.

But every time he saw Lu Lingqi's bright eyes, staring at him like a deer, Qin Xu always felt guilty.

Well, to be honest, guilt and so on are all empty, guilty conscience!

The point is, this girl's father is too tough, even if Qin Xu had the guts to provoke her.

Since returning to Hanoi, the situation in the north has fallen into an eerie calm.With Zhang Yang around, Lu Bu and the generals of the Hanoi army did not violate the river water, the black mountain army who was trapped disappeared without a trace, and Yuan Shao surprisingly did not make any big moves.

Lv Bu was supplemented by Yecheng's military resources, especially with more than 2000 high-quality war horses, and he led his subordinates to train troops every day.

Lu Lingqi did not have Cai Yan's company, and what happened in Ye City was loved by the soldiers of the camp. Apart from pestering Qin Xu, she hangs out with them all day long and stays away from home easily, which often makes Yan and Diaochan complain.
Yuan Shao's envoy Feng Jihui and Xu You, who came from Yecheng, did not know what kind of sinister force they committed. After several failed requests, they actually approached Zhang Yang, a good old man who had always looked down upon him, and finally made Lu Bu agree. meet up.

Qin Xu is currently the most idle one, and he is completely free in the Lu Bu army. Previously, the whole army was rewarded for his great achievements in Yecheng, but Qin Xu was the one who was deliberately forgotten. It seems that even the post of chief secretary has become a false title Lu Bu didn't say the reason, and Qin Xu didn't care too much. Anyway, these matters of coordinating money and food are not Qin Xu's strong point.

Now Lu Bujun is resting and accumulating strength. Although Qin Xu has plans, he knows that there is no rush. Since he can't help much, he can only eat and not work, so he is happy to have a few days of leisure.

Qin Xu never moved to the barracks, and Lu Bu did not avoid suspicion, so he let Qin Xu live in the mansion. It was not until Yuan Shao's two great counselors came to visit together that Qin Xu, who had nothing to do all day long, was picked up by Lu Bu to accompany him.

"It's been half a month since the incident in Ye City, these two people are really calm!" Qin Xu thought to himself when he heard that Xu You and Feng Ji had arrived.

Although Lu Bu didn't see the two of them a few times, considering that Zhang Yang was sheltering under Yuan Shao after all, it would not be too shameful, so the standard of entertaining the two was quite high.

In the living room of Zhang Yang Taishou's mansion, Lu Bu and Zhang Yang sat side by side on the main seat. Sitting at the bottom, leaning against the door, he made a face at Cheng Lian, making the elder brother's face turn green.

The generals in Hanoi, headed by Yang Chou, were sitting opposite, basically the ostentation of the military account discussion that day, the only difference was that apart from Xu You, who had a gloomy face, there was an extra Fengji at the head of Zhang Yang.

"Fengxian, this is an important official under Yuan Gong's command, a famous scholar in Jizhou, every year and every year, my brother is too busy to do business, and I have the opportunity to meet you today, but you need to get closer." Zhang Yang didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere in the hall. Lu Bu introduced.

"General Lu, Ji Jiu admired the prestige of General Ji. When I saw him today, he really deserved his reputation! I heard from Xu Ziyuan that it was General Lu who led the army to help my lord hold back the bandits in Heishan for three days. Thank you, Rongji!" , arched his hands at Lu Buxu, and said loudly.

There is something in the words?This Fengji is so contrived, there must be some conspiracy.Seeing Feng Ji's actions, Qin Xu's heart tensed up.

"Uncle Zhi and I are brothers. Although Bu is arrogant, he also knows the meaning of friends. Mr. Yuan Tu doesn't have to be like this." Lu Bujue was named Wen Hou. After all, he went to the court, met the emperor, killed high officials and dared A fierce man who challenged the eighteenth princes, besides, Chang'an was photographed in Lu Bu's prestige. To this day, Lu Bu still bears the title of General Fenwu and is treated like the third division of Yitong. , Said lightly.

"This..." Lu Bu's lack of face made Feng Ji's face darken, but he had to pretend he didn't care. Qin Xu felt it was funny, but also let go of his worries.Who dares to say that Lu Bu is the biggest fool in the world?Such political and diplomatic skills are definitely not something that a simple general can use. Lu Bu only uses his own force and disdains to use these hypocritical methods.

At this time, Qin Xu had the opportunity to take a good look at Feng Yuantu who "sent" Jizhou to Yuan Shao, dared to pretend to pass Yuan Shang to Yuan Shang after Yuan Shao's death, and was finally beheaded by Yuan Tan.

Xun Yu, known as the "talent of Wang Zuo" under Lao Cao's command, once said that Tian Fenggang committed crimes, but Xu You was greedy and didn't know it.

It is useless!
Excluding the context in which Xun Yu said this at the time, Feng Ji's impression on Qin Xu now, combined with Qin Xu's understanding of Feng Ji, Qin Xu has to admire Xun Yu's vision.

Qin Xu has already met two of Yuan Shao's four advisors.Xu You vomited blood from Qin Xu's anger, and now he looked at Qin Xu with hatred in his eyes, but because of Lu Bu's presence, he didn't dare to attack easily.Looking at Feng Ji's "encounter" again, he was also choked by Lu Bu. If Feng Ji can bear it, then there must be some conspiracy.

"General Lu's words are true!" Feng Ji did not surprise Qin Xu. He thanked Zhang Yang with a forced smile, and said to Lu Bu: "Maybe General Lu has already known that although Yecheng won this time, Lu The generals helped each other, and the damage was quite light, but the Heishan bandits have caused disasters in Hebei, and Hanoi has also suffered from them repeatedly. Yi, specially dispatched Ji and others to come to Hanoi, and with the utmost sincerity, turn to General Lu for help, and together they will conquer Montenegro and relieve the people from their misery.”

Hmph, after listening to Feng Ji's words, a sneer appeared on the corner of Qin Xu's mouth.Feng Ji's attitude was very low, and the reason was justified, and both inside and outside the words also vaguely indicated that Yuan Shao would not let Lu Bu do nothing for nothing this time.

It's just that if Lu Bu said this before listening to Qin Xu's words, it might really be in the way of Zhang Yang's face to agree.After all, the whole [-] troops of the Black Mountain Army were trapped by Lu Bu's [-] cavalry for three days. Without a single soldier, Lu Bu regarded it as nothing.Under Yuan Shao's praise, Lu Bu is a person who loves face extremely, so there is no reason not to agree.

But now, the army rations in Yecheng were piled up in the warehouse of Lu Bu's barracks, and the best two thousand war horses were riding on the laps of the elite soldiers. How could Lu Bu have the leisure to care about these things?

"What do you guys think?" Sure enough, after hearing Feng Ji's words, a sneer flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, but on the surface he still asked Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others humanely according to the old practice.

"Listen to my lord's orders! It's just that the army was exhausted in the previous interception of the Black Mountain bandit, and I'm afraid to send troops again..." Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and other generals participated in the operation in Yecheng. They knew what Lu Bu was thinking, so naturally they would not be too stupid to listen The meaning of Lu Bu's words.

"This...Mr. Yuan Tu, look..." Lu Bu pretended to be troubled, trying to find a reason to reject Feng Ji's nonsensical invitation.

"My lord, the last general thinks Mr. Yuan Tu's words are reasonable!" Just when all the generals of Lu Bu's army followed Lu Bu's wishes and expressed their rejection, an unharmonious voice suddenly sounded.

"Song Xian? What do you mean by that?" Lu Bu's eyes tightened, his face slowly sank, and he asked, "Just now, all the generals have said that our army is exhausted and it is difficult to fight any more. Why do you have objections?"

"The last general dare not!" Song Xian rushed to Lu Bu to salute respectfully: "The bandits in Heishan are rampant, and Hanoi has been victimized by them repeatedly. Even if it is for the sake of Prefect Zhang, we should repay the guest army if we are taken in by Prefect Zhang. What's more Heishan bandit is not a concern because of the lord's prestige! I heard that Yuan Gong sent Mr. Yuan Tu to ask for help. Although it is said to be a crime for the people, he is actually asking the lord to save the third son Yuan. Is there such a thing, Mr. Feng?"

"Ah! This, this!" Feng Ji pretended to have been told what was on his mind, covered his face with his sleeves, and faltered, not knowing how to answer.

"Is there another matter?" Lu Bu twitched his mouth slightly, glanced at Song Xian with complicated eyes, and asked Feng Ji with an unbelievable look on his face.

"That's true!" Feng Ji nodded.

"The safety of the third son Yuan is related to the friendship between the lord and Yuan Gong, the lord should be careful!" Song Xian said as if pointing.

"Huh?" Lu Bu noticed Song Xian's hint and narrowed his eyes, thinking about gains and losses.Song Xian's words are clear. Thanks to Qin Xu, almost everyone in Lu Bu's army knows the story of Lu Lingqi's capture of the three generals alone. There are too many people talking about it. This matter will not be kept secret for long. If Yuan Shao finds out, he must tell Lu Bu The army made some moves, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to make Yuan Shang "disappear" among the bandits in Montenegro, even if Yuan Shao knew the truth afterwards, he would have an answer when asked.

It has to be said that Song Xian's proposal happened to hit Lu Bu's mind.Although Lu Bu's army had obtained military resources and war horses from Yecheng, they lived in Hanoi after all. Although their combat power was slightly stronger than Yuan Shao's, their follow-up combat capabilities were completely incomparable.

"It's just that the soldiers in the army are exhausted..." Lu Bu didn't want to take back what he just said, and said embarrassingly, which was ridiculed.

"It is said that when Mr. Yuan Tu came to Hanoi, Duke Yuan valued him. There were two hundred dead men who had ascended first. My lord might as well use this force. In addition to the lord's personal guards under the command of the last general, there are also a thousand people, who can be both forwards. Zhang Taishou also has three to four thousand generals in Hanoi, who can serve as the rear army, how about sending troops to attack Montenegro together?" Song Xian seemed to have anticipated Lu Bu's rhetoric, and had already prepared a solution for Lu Bu.

"Okay! Bu has long wanted to see Yuan Gong, who is famous all over the world, go to the camp first, so let's make it so." Lv Bu smiled as if he didn't care much.

Song Xian!Song Xian! NND, how could I forget him.Qin Xu looked at Lu Bu, who was toasting to drink with Zhang Yang, and wanted to slap himself.
