Lu's relatives

Chapter 55 Under the Huai City

Qingzhou Mu, General Zuo?
It seems that Yuan Shao's attitude of wooing Lu Bu before was very sincere, although the gold content of sincerity is not satisfactory.

Yuan Shao followed the advice of Fengji and Shenpei, married Lu Bu, and indirectly controlled Lu Bu to work for him.So he offered the price of Qingzhou and entrusted Fengji to come to Hanoi to negotiate with Lu Bu.

"Yuan Benchu ​​is really so kind?" Hearing what Qin Xu said happily, Lu Bu hesitated, and said: "Jizhou borders Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao has great ambitions. How could he give up Qingzhou to Lu?"

"Yuan Shao's good intentions are naturally limited. The so-called Qingzhou Mu is just a name." Qin Xu knew about the chaos in Qingzhou at this time, and said to Lu Bu: "Yuan Shao's deadly enemy, Gongsun Zan, appointed Qingzhou governor Tian Kai to occupy Dongwuyang. A classmate Liu Bei occupies Pingyuan County, and another friend Kong Rong occupies Beihai County. Xuzhou Tao Qian also has an ambiguous relationship with Gongsun Zan. There are yellow scarves raging in the territory. What kindness do you have?"

"Yuan Shao wants Lu to block the enemy's rear for him?" Lu Bu quickly realized and said bitterly.

"If the eldest lady is really married to Yuan Shang, the lord really has no room to refuse, but now!" Qin Xu sneered, "The lord is unparalleled in the world, but a hero is useless. In Yuan Shao's view, it is just a flying The Qingzhou of the land is exactly what the lord wanted, and the fat meat sent to his mouth, as the saying goes, if you don’t take it, you will be blamed, it’s not good if you don’t eat it.”

"I heard from Gao Shun that you showed off your good cooking skills on the way to Hanoi. This metaphor is very appropriate." Lu Bu pointed to Qin Xu and said, "It's just that we have already offended Yuan Shao. I'm afraid Yuan Shao won't Will you accept the edict?"

Hearing Lu Bu's question, Qin Xu knew that Boss Lu was thinking of the good and didn't want to let go of the conversation. He said with a smile, "My lord can seal Qingzhou shepherd. It's obviously the imperial court's meritorious service to punish Dong for my lord. What's the matter with Yuan Shao? Do you have his name, Yuan Benchu?"

"It makes sense!" Lu Bu made a final decision.Because of the disappearance of Zhang Nan, the captain of Xiandengying, and considering that Yuan Shao learned the news, he came to attack angrily, and Zhang Yang was implicated for no reason, so he ordered the whole army to mobilize, return to Hanoi, and go to Qingzhou to take up his post.As for Yuan Shang and the Lu brothers who were trapped in Montenegro, Lu Bu was not interested at all.

When they came here, they ran quickly and spent another night in a hurry. Even the elite soldiers were a little tired, but the return journey took a whole day and a half. Only around noon on the third day, they rushed to the outside of Huaicheng, but they happened to meet Zhang Liao led his army to meet him.

From Zhang Liao's narration, it turned out that Zhang Liao Chenglian blocked Fengji Xuyou in the room that day, and found out Yuan Shao's "sincerity" to Lu Bu before he knew Yecheng's true intentions. The huge movement alarmed Zhang Yang .After learning about Fengji Xuyou's conspiracy, Zhang Yang didn't say anything else. He sent people to open the city gate overnight, let Zhang Liao and others out of the city, and sent his relatives to deliver the letter package to Lu Bu, without telling Hanoi. The generals sent Lu Bu's family members to Lu Bu's military camp outside the city.After doing this, they ordered Yang Chou and others to lead their troops to close the city gates, strictly prohibiting sending troops, and made a decisive move to stick to Huaicheng and Lu Bu.

"It's really embarrassing, uncle and brother!" Lu Bu murmured with a rare look of shame, looking at the wall of Huaicheng, unable to find a familiar figure.

"Why Zhang Taishou is this? Is it because he is afraid of being implicated by the lord, so he confines the four doors?" Song Xian was full of doubts. After returning to Lv Bu, it seemed that all those who were unfavorable to Lv Bu had become the object of his hatred.

"General Song, don't talk nonsense! Eunuch Zhang is telling us that Yuan Shao has already killed the lord, and he is afraid that he will send troops to attack." Qin Xu said slowly with a complicated expression.

If other people dared to say that Song Xian was talking nonsense, it would have already made this big man furious, but it was Qin Xu who had just accepted Qin Xu's favor. .

Qin Xu didn't care about Song Xian's actions. For Zhang Yang, a good old man who was famous in the late Han Dynasty, Qin Xu didn't have any feelings before, except for lamenting the friendship between him and Lu Bu. He didn't want to refute Song Xian's words. The returning general made Lu Bu feel suspicious.

"Not good!" Song Xian's words made Qin Xu suddenly think of something and was shocked.Struggling in my heart, I don't know whether I should tell Lu Bu about it.

"Qin Xu, what's your expression? Just say something!" Lu Bu didn't pay attention to the conversation between Qin Xu and Song Xian. He was about to order Zhang Liao to lead his troops to leave Hanoi with the rest of the soldiers and their families. Qin Xu stared at the city wall of Huaicheng and said nothing, with a troubled look on his face, he couldn't help asking.

"My lord!" Qin Xu took a deep breath, opened his mouth just now, but found that there was nothing to say, but saw the door of Huaicheng suddenly opened, and Yang Chou, the leader of Hanoi generals, came out of the city with a flattering smile on his face.

"General Lu, my prefect suddenly remembered that I have something to tell you alone. I hope you can come to the city soon!" Yang Chou, who was originally very ferocious, made such a gesture, which made Lu Bu feel disgusted. , but when Zhang Yang said that he wanted to talk to him alone, he didn't even think about it, so he went into the city with him.

"Wait a minute, my lord!" Qin Xu said suddenly.

Under Lv Bu's puzzled eyes, Qin Xu stared at Yang Chou coldly for a moment, with a sneer on his lips, and said, "Prefect Zhang closed the four gates of Huaicheng. Okay?"

"Qin Xu, you!" Hearing Qin Xu's unexpected words, Lu Bu's face froze, and he was about to get angry, but suddenly he saw Qin Xu's eyes raised slightly, as if he had some deep meaning, so he suppressed his anger, and his face was full of anger. Ashen did not continue.

"Master Qin's words are wrong!" Yang Chou once met Qin Xu when discussing matters in the military account, and knew that although the young man in front of him was not a big official, he could influence Lu Bu's actions, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and said with a smile: " Now everyone in the middle of Huaicheng knows that General Lu has hated Duke Yuan. I advocated that Yang take refuge in the Yuan family, so I naturally wanted to avoid suspicion, so I closed the city gates. But my lord has a very close personal relationship with General Lu after all. When sending General Lu’s family out of the city, But I forgot to mention one very important thing, in order to avoid Yuan Gong's eyes and ears, I asked General Lu to ride into the city alone, with General Lu's force, is it possible that Master Qin is still worried that I will mainly harm General Lu?"

Although Yang Chou is a military general, he is the leader of the generals in Hanoi after all. What he said was coherent and impeccable. He complimented Lu Bu and at the same time secretly plotted against Qin Xu. Lu Bu nodded frequently, but out of respect Qin Xu's trust, although Lu Bu was quite anxious, still did not move.

"Is it really Zhang Taishou who invited my lord?" Qin Xu smiled slightly.Yang Chou's words were so perfect that there were almost no flaws. It seemed that he had rehearsed Lu Bu's character and temper a thousand times before, and every word was said in Lu Bu's heart.

"Master Qin doesn't know anything." Yang Chou's face was calm, but there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes, and he said: "My lord has received the news that General Lu's attack on Yecheng is well known to Duke Yuan, and he has already sent a large army to come day and night. Hanoi, I’m afraid we’ll be here in a few days. My lord invited General Lu to the city to discuss how to explain to Duke Yuan. Time is running out, and I hope that Master Qin will not make any more unreasonable troubles.”

At the end of Yang Chou's words, he became a little impatient, and Lu Bu became more and more anxious, but seeing Qin Xu's smile getting bigger and bigger, he barely restrained himself from speaking.

"My lord's condolences!" Qin Xu shook his head with a smile, pulled the rein of the horse and walked a few steps behind Lu Bu, and suddenly said something that surprised both Lu Bu and Yang Chou.

"Qin Xu, what do you mean by that?" Lu Bu stared angrily in his eagle eyes, and turned to look at Qin Xu.

"My lord, capture Yang Chou quickly! It's too late!" Qin Xu ignored Lu Bu's glaring gaze, and instead pointed at Yang Chou whose expression changed drastically and he was about to flee.

"kill!!"

Lu Bu hadn't recovered from his senses when he saw the wall of Huaicheng where the "Zhang" banner had been planted before, and suddenly thought of a burst of cannon fire, and rows of soldiers dressed in Yuan Shao's armor suddenly stood up, holding weapons in their hands. It was astonishingly that it was the first crossbow that almost caused Lu Bu to suffer, and above the city gate, on a big yellow flag erected, a big "trial" character stood against the wind.

"Ah!" Lu Bu immediately understood the meaning of Qin Xu's words, and was startled, but it was a pity that he was a step too late. Seeing that Qin Xu had seen through Yang Chou, he pulled his horse and fled. He was almost at the moat, and the gate of Huaicheng was closed It rises obliquely, and when Yang Chou leaps in, he will close the city gate.

"Master is not allowed!"

"Young boy Yang Chou! How dare you lie to me!" Lu Bu was furious, and rushed towards Yang Chou regardless of Qin Xu's cry.

"Lü Bu has finally taken the bait!" The judge on the city wall was sneering, seeing that Lv Bu had rushed behind Yang Chou in just one breath with the help of the red rabbit, he said with a sneer, "Let the arrow!"

"My lord, be careful!" Seeing that Qin Xu didn't stop Lu Bu, the second general Zhang Liao and Gao Shun galloped out to meet Lu Bu.Qin Xu suddenly saw a person waving a hand under the big banner on the city wall, his heart trembled, and he warned loudly.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

How could the nearly one hundred soldiers holding crossbows on the walls of Huaicheng be comparable to Wei Xu's twenty or so followers.As soon as Qin Xu finished speaking, he saw a screen suddenly appeared under the sky, shining with dazzling colorful lights, shooting at Lu Bu who had already rushed to the bank of the moat and captured Yang Chou.

"My lord!?" Qin Xu yelled angrily, feeling cold in his heart.Qin Xu had seen the giant crossbows in the hands of those people on the city wall in Lv Bu's camp at the head of Taihang Mountain. According to Lv Bu, this kind of giant crossbow could shoot five arrows at a time, and its power was unmatched. He was almost injured by this kind of crossbow. Now, there were only twenty of them, but now, there are hundreds of them on the walls of Huaicheng.

More than 500 crossbow arrows were aimed at Lu Bu. Even if the overlord Lu Bu was resurrected, he might not be able to escape the crossbow arrow piercing his chest under this kind of magic weapon.

Qin Xu subconsciously turned around, not daring to look, his vest was soaked in cold sweat instantly, could it be that because of his arrival, although the historical trajectory of Lu Bu's abandonment of Chang'an has been changed, and he no longer needs to wander around like before, but But do you want to die under Huaicheng?
