Lu's relatives

Chapter 538

Lu Bu's unexpected move similar to "handing over power" really caught everyone's attention.Lv Bu has been in the army for a long time, and he has never taken the control of military power lightly. Although Qin Xu has tolerated countless times of exceeding his power, and allowed him to recruit Yellow Turban troops to form the Qingzhou Barracks, which is now famous all over the world. The old brothers who followed in the south and north wars, the several battalions of the army's front-line battle sequence, even if they temporarily handed over the battalion talismans to their control in order to build momentum for their precious son-in-law at the beginning, they were instead controlled by Qin. Xu used it in exchange for the joining of the ghostly talent Guo Jia, but he never really participated in the specific affairs of the army.

It's not a question of trust or distrust.Leaving aside the personal guard battalion around Lv Bu, the predecessors of the three armies of the camp, Xiaoqi battalion, and flying cavalry battalion were the Bingzhou elite soldiers who were organized into the Habayashi Guard when Lu Bu was stationed in Chang'an, representing Lv Bu who used them to rule the world. The most elite force in the army, or the symbol of Lu Bu's army, this time, it is just because Lu Bu is worried that Qin Xu will move to Jizhou to enrich the counties of Yangzhou. Not enough, but to hand over the command of the three front-line battle sequences to Qin Xu, in the eyes of outsiders, no matter what Lu Bu's real intentions are, the symbolic significance of this matter is far greater than the actual significance.

In fact, it was Lu Bu. There was no master of military power these days, and he would tolerate others' overreach and affect his own authority, even if this person was his closest relative, it was absolutely impossible.Not to mention such a "generous" hand over the command of the most elite soldiers under his command to others.

Coupled with the "speciality" of the successor, the impact of the order is not only on the strength of the army.The mean and ruthless Lu Bu, who is known for being ungrateful and ungrateful, can do such acts of doubting others, but where is he going to put those lords who claim to be benevolent, righteous and magnanimous?It is said that Cao Cao, who was already preparing to retreat, was so angry that he did not know how many glasses of wine he had.

Cao Cao is a very patient person, and his mental firmness is far beyond comparison.Even if he saw that Lu Bujun did not act as he expected this time, because of the incident with Yuan Xi in Jizhou, he took actions against Hebei.What's more, he didn't even have a word of dissatisfaction. He allowed Jizhou to have two top officials with similar powers on the surface for a while, and Cao Cao's plan was like hitting cotton. Cao Cao didn't lose his expression. On the contrary, after learning about it, he couldn't stop laughing, and said that he would not be lonely in the future, showing his true nature as a hero.But who knew that even Boss Cao with such a "magnanimous" mind would almost lose his composure because of this seemingly insignificant "little matter".

"Those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want!" If Li Bai, the poet fairy, had been born hundreds of years earlier, he might understand Cao Cao's current mood.

The inexplicable failure of the Hebei incident before, the most irritable Lu Bu did not take the bait in the face of such a provocation, actually made Cao Cao very depressed, but this kind of thing happened to Boss Cao, not to mention that it seemed unbelievable to others, Even Cao Cao himself would never let this matter continue to ferment when it has already become a fait accompli.After all, although Cao Cao now has the emperor in his hands, he has not yet controlled absolute power. Those in the Xuchang court who are eager to see Cao Cao's jokes will still have a certain influence on Cao Cao's reputation. Even if he is bent to the extreme, he must never let his subordinates, those who have been paying attention to him, see Cao Cao's weaknesses.

But this time Lu Bu gave up power is different.Lu Bu is a person with "moral stains"!This is the only place where Cao Cao, who has been defeated by Lu Bu several times, and even seems to be defeated by the "curse" when he sees Lu Bu, currently thinks that he can overwhelm Lu Bu.Even under Qin Xu's actions, in the three prefectures of Qingxuyang under the influence of Lu Bu's army, Lu Bu's many "bad deeds" before have been whitewashed and downplayed, but in other states and counties of the Han Dynasty, the demon king outside the Hulao Pass , although already in a high position, but still has a bad reputation.In the era when the reputation of the big man is more important than everything else, Lu Bu's reputation is like a cage, and he will be firmly controlled in the "encirclement" of Cao Cao's territory. He is powerful and tyrannical, but in fact the threat to Cao Cao is very small.Because even if Lu Bu broke out of this "encirclement", except for the barren state like Yangzhou, at least in the Central Plains, it would not be easy for Lu Bu to successfully occupy and gain a firm foothold.

But now, just because of such a trivial incident in the eyes of others, it even seems that many people are chasing rumors.But a man as scheming as Cao Cao, from this small corner of the page, has a pre-perceived perception of how much impact this seemingly inconspicuous, but small matter that slightly improved Lu Bu's reputation will have in the future.How can Cao Cao not be angry.

What makes Cao Cao even more angry and worrying is that the person who "takes over" is actually Qin Xu.It was the young man who made Cao Cao love and hate, as if he had "inherited" Lu Bu's good luck, and whenever he met him, he would definitely make him suffer from the "halo".

Qin Xu's age has actually been ignored by Cao Cao.Although Qin Xu has a good relationship with Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, and Cao Ang is strictly speaking a disciple of another father-in-law of Qin Xu. From Cai Yan's point of view, Qin Xu can even call Cao Ang "kindly" his brother-in-law.But Cao Cao really didn't dare to underestimate this young man who was only a few months older than his eldest son.

Not to mention the previous unnamed valley, the battle of Jinan Kingdom, and the battle to rescue the emperor.Just from Qin Xu's expedition to Hebei from Lu Bu, Cao Cao couldn't underestimate the dramatic attack and defense under Yecheng.Originally, when Qin Xu had to leave halfway and rushed to Yangzhou to quell the chaos, Cao Cao was really happy for several days.Although in terms of combat power, Cao Cao, who also held elite soldiers in his hands, had to admit that he was no match for Lu Bu, but in terms of strategy, Cao Cao was confident that he would sell Lu Bu, and this stupid big man would count the money for himself.The changes in Hebei are so complicated, but as long as someone like Cao does a little trick, he will make the Lu Bu army who belongs to the alliance willingly use it for himself.Cao Cao still has this confidence.

But who would have expected that the events in Hebei were indeed too many. Lu Bu, who was known as the god of war before, was injured by a villain, and his life was at stake. Cao Cao also had some overwhelmed changes. Because of the previous incident of forcing Yuan Xi to be Jizhou Mu, Cao Cao was given the name of a powerful minister and oppressive lord. Not to mention, a good plan was also in vain, which made it impossible to steal the chicken. How could Cao Cao, who had lost a handful of rice, not be angry.

At this time, the reaction from the outside world was so fierce, but the interior of Lu Bu's army was relatively calm, which was a bit too much.Needless to say, the Qingzhou soldiers stationed in Xuzhou, the Danyang soldiers stationed in Yangzhou, and the Xiandeng camp in Jinan State, these Qin army forces are of course, the more stable Qin Xu's position is, the higher the status of these troops will be.And the three battalions of Zhanzheng, Flying Cavalry, and Xiaoqi, which were placed under command by Lu Bu, had no intention of objecting, and even officials from the Department of Government Affairs who had not dealt with Qin Xu very much, from Sima Zanghong down, had no objection The voice came out, which really made those who have been following Lu Bu's army's movements since Lu Bu was seriously injured a little bit more pondering.

What was Lu Bu's original intention?
"Zhongming, I heard that you were very pleased at General Lu's residence! You are quite skillful in this method!" The words were full of sourness, and there was a hint of anticipation in them. In the inner hall of Xu Mansion, the mouth of Cai Yong, a stubborn old man who half-closed his eyes and almost plucked off several beards.Seeing that Cai Yan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the time for giving birth is getting closer, Cai Yong was quite happy at first. After all, because of Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo's incident, there are only father and daughter left in Lao Cai's family. They depend on each other for life, and suddenly a little life related to him is about to be born. For Cai Yong, who is nearly ancient, the temptation is so great.It's just that after hearing Qin Xu's "generous" words in Lu Bu's mansion, the stubborn old man who had always seen Qin Xu's nose or eyes from the beginning became more and more yin and yang.

"Old Taishan is joking! Xu has always liked a bowl of water that is flat! Even if it is to please, it must be so!" Qin Xu said in a hurry at Lu Bu's mansion that day that Lu Lingqi's unborn child should take his mother's surname , I didn't think anything at first, until after Lu Bu made such an arrangement, I faintly felt that things seemed to be a bit big.After returning to the mansion, the weirdness in the eyes of the women in the mansion looked at Qin Xu made Qin Xu feel uncomfortable for a long time.Especially the black-bellied elder sister who had big watery eyes for the first time, staring at herself intently from time to time, looking hesitant to speak, plus Cai Yong who came to the house quite frequently, these few days Not hesitating to "abandon" the previous reservedness, and almost grow up in the inner palace. If Qin Xu can't turn his head around, then he will really feel sorry for the glorious and great identity of the time traveler.Seeing the black-bellied elder sister's eyes getting hotter and hotter, and the old man of the Cai family's eyes getting more and more unfriendly, Qin Xu decided that it's better to treat everyone equally in such matters.

Qin's man made clever decisions, the old Qin family's family affairs gradually settled down, and the current situation in Hebei is gradually becoming clear. The Yuan brothers, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, and the forces of the Black Mountain Bandits and Cao Cao's forces are fighting each other because of Cao Cao's retreat from Hebei. Checks and balances, mutual containment, the chaos of the Great Han Dynasty for several years, finally under the tacit understanding of various forces either exhausted their troops, or failed to attract them, the Great Han Dynasty finally ushered in a relatively stable winter at least on the surface .And Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, after welcoming Cao Cao's army back to the court in the cold wind, also in this rare peace, got the proposal of the uncle Dong Cheng and a group of courtiers to mediate the marriage between the Yuan family brothers to celebrate. Cao Cao, who fought in the war, came back in a big victory, and also prayed that the big man who had gradually calmed down the war would no longer fight frequently.
