Lu's relatives

Chapter 502 Each of them tries their best to pacify Jiangdong (final)

I don't know if this incident of Yuzhang can be regarded as a happy ending.After all, the total strength of the Sun family is nearly [-] troops, and the family members of the soldiers and generals in the city have disappeared under the nose. Even if they are released to search the four counties of Yuzhang and the surrounding mountains, there is no news at all. No one is missing, and no one will be in a good mood.

Fortunately, after this battle, Sun Ce's troops were severely injured, their morale was slackened, and their combat power was low. If they wanted to make any troubles, unless Zhou Yu, who played a "good chess game" this time, really had a chance Otherwise, even if Sun Ce hid in a corner, it would already be scabies for the Lu Bu army who is about to share Hebei with Cao Cao and has the opportunity to calmly deploy troops to take control of Yangzhou.

Except for Lujiang County, which was occupied by Liu Biao, and Jiujiang County, which was actually controlled by Cao Cao's forces, Qin Xu had already acquired all the Jiangzuo land in Yangzhou, and this trip was enough to call it a great achievement.

Cao Cao, who attacked Jiujiang as early as Yuan Shu's rebellion, is indeed a figure with a halo of pig's feet. Without the help of "cheaters" like Qin Xu, he only relied on the help of his family and the means of taking care of the poor. With such rich political resources as the emperor of Han, the speed of the development of the army's strength was even faster without Yuan Shao's restraint.It is already a trend that Youcheng cannot compete with.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the Central Plains is not a big place. It has to be said that it is a miracle that Lu Bu and Cao Cao have lived in peace for such a long time.In fact, in terms of combat power alone, the mighty soldiers under Lu Bu's command would not be invincible, but if they faced off on the frontal battlefield, there really wasn't any prince who dared to say that he could win Lu Bu's hand with dignity.But the key point is that Qingzhou is too close to Yanzhou, so both Cao Cao and Lu Bu have maintained considerable restraint before, so as not to be taken advantage of by others.

Therefore, from this point of view, the ownership of Jiujiang County in Yangzhou is not so important.Left and right Jiujiang County is on the north side of the river. For Lv Bu's army who only wanted to find a stable "base. , In fact, from the perspective of the overall situation, putting it in Cao Cao's hands is much more useful than forcibly taking it back.

However, Qin always claimed to be a successful person in his previous life. Although there was a lot of self-deprecation in it, it also revealed a bit of Qin Xu's unwillingness to suffer.Since focusing on the overall situation, in order to make Lu Bu's army stronger and stronger, at least after fighting Cao Cao to the death, there is still room for dealing with the coveters, so Jiujiang can't move for a while.However, the loss in the embankment was to make up for the embarrassment outside the embankment. Qin Xu had just suppressed his desire to go to Jiangdong, and to find Sun Ce, so he hit his idea on the one who was complacent because of the name of the eight horses, and was even passed down as He is the head of Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng, the Lord of Jingxiang who has the best chance to aspire to the great treasure, but also loves to take advantage of the fire and fish in troubled waters.

Speaking of Liu Biao at this time, although he has begun to shrink his strength and gradually has the heart to consolidate the soil and stop the war, he can even tolerate the defeated Xiliang soldiers lingering in Wancheng, which is close at hand, but after seeing this world, he is getting more and more powerful. After the chaotic trend, no one will believe you if you say you don't have any ideas in your mind.The "explanation" Qin Xu gave was that this old guy is a bully and a bully.Although Xiliang's defeated soldiers have lost their ambitions, but after all, Xiliang's iron cavalry once followed Dong Zhuo's prestige to dominate Yu Nei, and the prestige of the death of the tiger is still there.Maybe Liu Biao didn't want to take back Wancheng County under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, but he probably didn't want to waste his strength to fight.

But Lujiang is different.Yangzhou has been in turmoil for a long time, and the forces of sect thieves, foreign races, big families, and wealthy families are intricate. It can be said that as long as one of them is not handled well, it will end in deep mud.Seeing Yuan Shu coveted Yangzhou at the beginning, the final result is a clear proof.In normal times, if you lend Liu Biao his courage, he wouldn't want to get into trouble, especially since the old Sun's family and his own family have a sworn feud, so if they don't pay attention, they will give the other party a chance to "vent".But Yangzhou is enough land to be worth one-fifth of the territory of the entire Han Dynasty, and it is like a big piece of fat in front of a hungry man.But this time Qin Xu and Sun Ce competed for Jiangdong, just like giving a pair of chopsticks to the salivating Liu Biao.From Liu Biao's point of view, the battle between the two armies will last for about a year or so, and it is probably impossible to tell the difference between victory and defeat.One is a young hero who is determined to save his own life, inheriting his father's bravery and sweeping Jiangdong, and the other is the son-in-law of the world's most powerful general. If the mouth is dry and the oil is full, then Liu Biao will not be the same Liu Jingsheng who went down to Jingxiang on horseback.

Qin Xu's understanding of Liu Biao, except for a few words in the history books and some inferences from later generations, is actually not much to do.After coming here, apart from the fact that when Yuan Shu borrowed the soldiers of the Southern Huns and almost made Cao Cao homeless, Liu Biao's attack and rescue made Qin Xu have some impressions. Liu Biao, one of the Eight Steeds of Jingxiang whose reputation has been passed down through the ages, is slightly different, and Qin Xu really doesn't know much about his situation.

Now that Jiujiang can't get it back for a while, let's get back Lujiang first!After all, he is also one of the six counties in Jiangdong. If he shows his weakness too much, it will make this bullying old head Liu even more arrogant.However, I still have [-] two battalions of hundreds of elite soldiers in my hands. After nearly three months of fighting, the soldiers are exhausted. Even if they still have the strength to fight, Qin Xu does not intend to Do this kind of chicken-and-egg thing.Not to mention the whereabouts of Sun Ce, who seems to have disappeared suddenly, and still needs to be inquired by people. With the newly recruited troops in Wu Jun alone, even if Guo Jia has superpowers, it is estimated that he will not be able to make it in a short time.

Fortunately, as early as when he set foot in Jiangdong, he left [-] Danyang soldiers for the three brothers Zang Ba in Danyang County, and guarding such a good soldier "wozi" in Danyang County, coupled with the fact that it is adjacent to Lujiang County, Qin Xu hardly hesitated Then there is a calculation.But when he was planning to take back Jiangdong Fifth County in one go, an urgent fire letter from Qingzhou to Wu County was sent by Guo Jia's second-hand messenger Xingye, which made Qin Xu suddenly change his face.

The letter was written in the name of the official wife of the Qin family.The whole article is full of bureaucratic tone, firstly it said that everything is well at home in Qingzhou, Cai Yan, Mi Zhen, Gan Qian and other sisters are in love with each other, and their sister-in-law Du Yan is also getting along well.Cai Yan's nearly seven-month pregnancy is very pregnant, and she is taken care of by her sisters very thoughtfully.At first glance, there is nothing surprising in the whole story, except for a brief mention at the end that Lu Bu has returned with his army, and I hope Qin Xu will return as soon as possible.At first glance, Qin Xu didn't notice anything the first time, but he was a little puzzled, how could he write such a watertight letter with his eldest wife Lu Lingqi's little ink?At first, I thought it would be written by Mrs. Cai, who was pregnant in July, so I couldn't help but read it again carefully. The information I got from it made Qin, who was already depressed because of Sun Ce's disappearance, lost his composure immediately. call out.

No wonder Qin Xu felt awkward reading this seemingly ordinary family letter, which was full of formulaic phrases.This is not at all a question of whether to write about Lu Lingqi, Cai Yanyi or any of Qin Xu's harem.The key lies in the last sentence, Lu Bu returned to the army.

What is the reason why Qin Xu went to Xuzhou alone to transfer troops to Jiangdong?Isn't it just because of the turmoil in the war in Hebei, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, and even the two ineffective sons of Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, the forces of all parties will sing and I will appear on the stage. It is nothing more than the right to belong to a rich land that is less affected by war.Leaving aside Lu Bu, what kind of people are Cao Cao and Liu Bei?Cao Cao occupied the time in the name of honoring the emperor and ordering him not to be ministers. Liu Bei played tricks with his old classmate Gongsun Zan. It was a long time hanging around in the land of Youzhou, and there was a native of Youzhou standing behind him. Before Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, who used to go to Jizhou to fight the autumn wind from time to time, barely occupied the geographical advantage. One of Yuan Shao's two sons took refuge in Cao Cao, and the other attached himself to Cao Cao. Yu Lu Bu is a disciple of the Yuan family who is upright in the eight classics and upright in Miaohong, so he can be said to be harmonious.What does Kelu Bu have?Except for Pingyuan County, which is adjacent to Jizhou, and was "dragged" into the war by Liu Bei's calculations, the only bargaining chip that can be used is the mutual use of Yuan Jiaxiao and Yuan Shang.

When Qin Xu left Hebei, Lu Bu had just settled in Yecheng, and others were wondering if he wanted to emulate Qin Xu's past when he acquired Xuzhou, and gradually encroach on Yecheng's territory.At that time, Cao Cao had just crossed the distance to Bingzhou. Due to the strength of Lu Bu, he planned to work with Lu Bu to quell the Gongsun forces in Hebei, and then share the plan. People, why did you return to Qingzhou?I think that Gongsun Zan was also a hero for a while. Among the [-] princes of Hulaoguan, he sat at the front and had the strength to kill Yuan Shaosi, who had the potential to be the hegemon of Hebei. What kind of ecstasy and soul method did the servant use to fool Yi Jing to the point where he would eventually imprison Yi Jing himself, but if Qin Xu almost didn't even have to think about it, he could conclude that if he really put his life together, no matter whether it was Cao Cao or Lu Bu, who wanted to Taking over Youzhou from Gongsun Zan in a smooth manner is not an easy task.At the very least, compared to his attack on Sun Ce's forces in Yangzhou this time, it is really several times more difficult.Although the Baima Yicong under Gongsun Zan's command was disabled by going to the camp first, the tens of thousands of Youzhou elite cavalry who have been trained to resist foreigners all the year round can still be obtained. According to legend, there are at least millions of stones worth of food and grass in Yijing Fortress. This kind of comprehensive strength is not far behind Cao Cao and Lu Bu's power in general.Even if Lu Bu is really the reincarnation of the God of War, facing this kind of home game, and occupying the right time, place and people, the outcome may be between five and five.How could it be possible to return to Qingzhou so quickly as stated in the letter.Besides, although Cao Cao clearly stated that he wanted to divide Hebei equally with Lv Bujun, according to Qin Xu's prediction, if the boss didn't make trouble behind his back, it would be that he, Cao, had changed his temper. How could it be so happy?Something must have gone wrong!And the only unbelievable possibility is that something happened to Lu Bu!
"Kong Bin! Go and pass on Dianwei, Hao Zhao, Tai Shici, Cao Xing, and old Xu Shimao!" Qin Xu's face has never been so serious at this moment, and Kong Bin seems to have anticipated the seriousness of the problem, There was no previous hippie smile on his face, and he promised to leave in a deep voice.

"My father-in-law! You are the best fighter in the world! I hope I was wrong this time..."
