Lu's relatives

Chapter 512 The sky is turned upside down, chaos and attack ([-])
Mrs. Cao is pregnant!
Such a news quietly spread in Linzi City.

The source of this news has no beginning or end, and it is not known where and when it started to spread, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, and impossible to investigate.

When Yan and Diao Chan got the news in Lu Bu's mansion, it was already widely known in the city.

Originally, this should be excellent news for the entire Lu Bu army.Lü Bu has no sons, and in this year, especially when our army has shaken off its former sloppiness and has become a powerful force that can be counted among the big men, it has become the most destabilizing force in the hearts of the people. Mishaps and hidden dangers.In many people's minds, if this is true, then the morale of Lu Bu's army will be stabilized, and the political turmoil brought about by Lu Bu's serious injury is likely to calm down in an instant.

However, no matter whether it was Lu Bu's family or the Qingzhou civil and military men who were trusted by Lu Bu as his confidantes, when they got the news, they couldn't laugh at all.

Now Qingzhou, or the form of the entire Lu Bu army's military strength, perhaps except Qin Xu, who avoided suspicion after adjusting the defensive formations of the three states in the name of Lu Bu, and who doesn't care about world affairs, no one can't see it. , with Lu Bu seriously injured and unable to take things seriously, the hidden "lethal power" that broke out in Qingzhou.A little carelessness may hurt the root of Lu Bu's army.

The safest way now is to stick to the defense, suspend troops and truce, cut off the thoughts of coveted people around, try to use all means to delay time as much as possible, wait for Lu Bu to recover from injury, and come out to take over the overall situation.This is almost the consensus reached by the entire Lv Bu army senior management after several days of secret discussions.Therefore, a peaceful Linzi is essential.

However, the release of this news, regardless of whether it is true or not, is like dropping a huge stone on the surface of Qingzhou Lake that has gradually calmed down, causing continuous ripples.

If the news is false, that's all, just arrest people directly.After more than three years of operation, Lu Bujun is already "one of his own" to the ordinary people in Linzi City.Besides, this is Lu Bu's "family matter" after all, so there is no need to worry about how these will affect Lu Bu's reputation, who has been packaged as the Lord of Benevolence and Righteousness.

But if it's true, it's hard to say.Lv Bujun seems to have sprung up suddenly in recent years. As everyone knows, he cannot avoid the existence of one person.Without this person's sniper attack in the Wuming Valley, there would be no such thing as Lu Bu running thousands of miles to Qingzhou and taking control of Linzi. I am afraid that he would have been wiped out by Cao Cao's army as early as in Yanzhou; With thousands of men and women in yellow scarves, there would be no Lu Bujun's feat of pacifying six counties and three places in just half a year, which shocked the world like lightning.In addition, whether it is forcing Cao Cao to make an alliance under the city, or planning Xuzhou and Chang'an to rescue him, they have already established a prestige in Lu Bu's army that is no less than Lu Bu's.

This person is called Qin Xu!His identity is the husband-in-law of Lu Bu's only daughter.Not only did he have kindness to the 70 people in Linzi City, but he also had kindness to the more than 120 million yellow scarf men and women who surrendered in Qingzhou. Tao Qian and Lu Bu jointly signed the table, and the emperor proclaimed the "appointed" Lord of Xuzhou, General Zhengdong, Marquis of Wuting, and recently Also laid a big Yangzhou.

Before this news was known, whether it was Lu Bu's series of highly tolerant attitudes, or Yan's and Diao Chan's intimacy with Qin Xu, it made people believe that this young man was not a young man, but he was born in a bad family. The young man who has never been defeated since he came out of the mountain is very likely to be the "successor" deliberately cultivated by Lu Bu.If not, not to mention the authenticity of those amazing records, just the rumored incident of this person contradicting Lu Bu, any one of them is enough to be torn to pieces by this not-so-good-tempered Wen Hou.How could he tolerate the power under his control, after careful calculation, it was not under Lu Bu's own army?
But now the news comes out.The status of this envoy of Qin...is too embarrassing!

Even Cao's womb is another daughter.To begin with, to prove that Lu Bu "can", then unless Qin Xu turns his back on it now, no matter how much he gets now, he is still making wedding dresses for others after all.After all, a son-in-law is no better than a parent-son, and the whole man will not believe that Lu Bu will choose the latter as a successor between his son and his son-in-law.

And the most worrying thing is that if Lu Bu was there, no one would doubt his control of the overall situation.Originally, Lu Bu was an "expert" in "undertaking the upper hand". If Qin Xu really had two intentions and acted rashly, he would not be favored at all.However, Lu Bu was seriously injured at the moment. Although he was being cured by the genius doctor Hua Tuo and was on the way to recovery, in a short period of time, let alone a director, it was said that even speaking would be difficult.

The situation in Qingzhou is becoming more and more unclear.At this moment, what Qin Xu wants to do becomes the key.

But Qin Xu, who was stared at by thousands of eyes, made people's eyes fall back greatly.

Since Qin returned to Qingzhou, he first resolutely adjusted the military forces stationed by all parties, and then shrank the troops, and took the initiative to give up the land. Several military orders made Qing, Xu, and Yang the most important points of the three prefectures. The deployment of heavy troops on the ground was not as ordinary people imagined. After nearly half of the city defense battalion generals were transferred, Qingzhou soldiers were transferred to Linzi. .After leaving behind the three battalions of Xiaoqi, Zhanzhen, and personal guards, and one of the city defense battalions, which were formed by the old base of the wolf cavalry and feather guards in Lu Bu's Bingzhou, they simply left the government and military affairs to Sima Zanghong and a group of Lu Bu army veterans, and closed the door. Thank you.This is simply confusing. I don't know what kind of medicine this young governor of Xuzhou sells in the gourd.

Qin Xu's behavior was beyond everyone's expectations, and made those who wanted to slander Qin Xu temporarily shut up.Because the attitude of Lu Bu's mansion is even more strange.

As the hostesses of the Grand General's Mansion, Yan and Diaochan, for some unknown reason, did not immediately come out to refute the rumors, and of course they did not make any affirmations, as if the matter had nothing to do with it.It's a pity that the Yan family doesn't have Qin Xu's leisurely good luck. This ambiguous attitude makes the rumors that have been spreading in secret even more interesting.

Lu Bu was officially appointed by the imperial court to hold the military power and control the three states. He was also the highest rank of the [-]th rank of the hereditary Han Dynasty.This time, if the news of Cao's pregnancy is true, there is a great possibility that he will become the eldest son of Lu Bu, and he should immediately make a list and list it in the court to wait for the destiny.But with Yan's attitude, it is inevitable that people will start to think in a bad direction unconsciously.As a result, a few days after the news came out, some chief officials of counties and counties in Qingzhou who got the news sent letters to Lu Bu's mansion on the grounds of Confucian etiquette.

Although the wording in these submissions is polite, they generally have the same meaning.It's nothing more than Yu asking Yan's family to know that this is almost the whole city, and the news that has been circulated to other states and counties has been clarified, so don't hide it.Of course, as more and more letters were submitted, it was inevitable that there would gradually be extreme words implying Yan Shi's poison and jealousy between the lines, but it made Yan Shi very angry.

The momentum is getting bigger and bigger, and the situation is also developing in an uncontrollable direction.More and more people began to write to Lv Bu's mansion one after another, either for public reasons or for selfish reasons, to persuade Yan Shi, who is Lv Bu's official wife, to clarify the news.Many county and county officials even gave up their posts and came here with letters of remonstrance, kneeling in front of General Lu Bu's mansion, and the things they asked for seemed to start from Rang Lu Bu's mansion to give the news of his heirs, and gradually leaned towards asking for help. Lu Bu is now facing up to Qin Xu's position in Lu Bu's army.

"Since you've already seen it! It's time to get to the bottom of it!" When the crowd outside Lu Bu's mansion was turbulent, in the main hall of the General's mansion separated by a wall, accompanied by Lu Lingqi holding back a smile and covering her mouth, she was shy. Qin Xu, who bowed his face to his old mother-in-law and apologized, noticed the gesture of a figure in the shade outside the hall with a side eye, nodded, and straightened up.

The city of Linzi is still very lively, but in the discussion on this matter after dinner, the speech is divided into two factions, one faction is dominated by "indigenous people" of Linzi, these people who have survived the catastrophe and lived a stable life are mainly aimed at the previous rumors that Qin There are rumors that Xu wanted to usurp the class and seize power. Qin Xu, who supported the stability of Qingzhou, was by no means an ungrateful person, and would not do such a rebellious act when Lu Bu was seriously ill; The people who filled the Yellow Turbans into Linzi were the main ones, and thanks to the exile policy, most of these people had enshrined Qin Xu's memorial tablets in their homes, but the "arguments" of these people are somewhat interesting, perhaps because they don't know what big The truth is that it is only influenced by Qingzhou soldiers who are "of the same clan" and are already famous in the world. It seems that no matter what Qin Xu does, he will blindly follow and support him.

People's hearts are available!it's time!Following a simple letter, it was passed from the General's Mansion to the Linzi Mansion's Yamen, and it was Lu Bujun who had remained silent in Linzi's three battalions of Xiaoqi, Siege, and City Defense. Outside the guard camp, there was a sudden movement.Teams of cavalry galloped out of the barracks, and in the eyes of the somewhat astonished Linzi people, they galloped towards every corner of Linzi city with a very purpose, as if they were following a map.After just one meal, many people were bound to the gate of Lu Bu's mansion.The people of Linzi, who had already had the "experience" when Lu Bu had fun with the people, knew in their hearts that something big must have happened.Seeing these being tied up and thrown in front of the county officials who were still pleading for orders in front of the general's mansion, or "forced palace", many people who were still speaking generously just now changed their faces.

"This... This is their arrest! Wen Jugong! We succeeded!..." In Cao Bao's mansion, the servants kept spreading the outside news to Cao Bao and Kong Rong, who were sitting opposite each other and drinking. before.This made the two of them who were cheering and persuading Qin Xu's disaster a moment ago, but who had their own plans in private, were stunned.From their respective eyes, they all saw a bit of surprise.

"The big thing is settled! The little thief Qin Xu can't help it after all!" Kong Rong's nervous face showed a thick look of pride, and he ignored Cao Bao's words, and asked in a deep voice: "Where are you outside?" Are they really arresting people? Ha! Those people accounted for almost 52% of the chief officials of the [-] counties under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou. So the Qin thieves really have the courage to go beyond the rules and arrest people? Are they not afraid of Qingzhou's resurgence? It seems that before Our plan really messed up this Qin thief!"

"I knew it! I knew it! Wen Ju's schemes are unpredictable, and he can deal with a little Qin Xu, isn't it easy?" Before the man dressed as a servant could answer, Cao Bao stood up suddenly, his eyes dazed. He stared at Kong Rong intently, as if he hadn't shaken off the joy of the news, he clicked his tongue.

"Without the great help of General Cao, this will definitely not be possible! In the future, with General Cao in charge of Qingzhou, Kong will be able to enjoy himself a lot!" Kong Rong's eyes were full of well-hidden contempt. Glancing at Cao Bao, he took a deep breath, waved his hand to stop the person who wanted to report, and said in a deep voice: "But although we have already cornered this little thief, as long as that Lu Bu traitor wakes up, we can kill the little thief." The thieves are caught in a catastrophe! But after all, this matter has only just begun, and the good show is still to come. Right now, the chaos in Linzi city has become, it is definitely not a place for me to stay for a long time, but right now people are being arrested everywhere, and it is not easy to get out of the city. I don’t know Can General Cao have a way to send me out of the city first?"

"Out of the city?" Cao Bao didn't seem to have thought that Kong Rong would ask to leave the city at this time, he froze for a moment, frowned, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Wen Ju, since there are sergeants in Dasuo City right now, the gates must be closed. Shut up, leave the city at this time... this..."

"If you two really have no way to go out, then don't go!" While Cao Bao was talking to Kong Rong, a voice that was familiar to both Cao Bao and Kong Rong suddenly came from the door.

"My subordinates see General Qin!" Cao Bao's servant, who was still a loyal servant and reported the news to Kong Rong, straightened his back in front of the two of them, cupped his hands and gave a military salute to the visitor. The humble and humble look that often hangs on his face has long been replaced by a calm and determined look. Kong Rong and Cao Bao are both stunned as if they have been hit by a fixed body.And looking along the place where the words came from, the person who was leaning against the door with a smile on his face, the General Qin in this population, if not the hateful Qin Xu, who is it?
