Lu's relatives

Chapter 59 Who is the Oriole

"Tiger Talisman?" Jia Xu was fine, as if he had expected Qin Xu to do it, but Cai Yong, a stubborn old man, was not so calm and exclaimed.

In this era, due to communication means and regional restrictions, it is very common for generals not to know soldiers and not to know generals. As a result, talismans and seals have become certificates representing civil and military positions, and recognition of things and people has become a distinction between soldiers and generals. A customary rule.

What Qin Xu took out was the tiger talisman that Lü Bu gave to Qin Xu that night, which could restrain the [-] soldiers from Gaoshun and the lower camp. Qin Xu hadn't had time to return it to Lu Bu.

"It's a child's play to hand over the right to deploy troops to the camp!" Cai Yong said angrily.

Qin Xu chose to ignore the stubborn old man's accountability.

Jia Xu took the tiger talisman from Qin Xu's hand, played with it for a while, then handed it back to Qin Xu, pondered for a while, and said: "Since General Lu is determined to take over Qingzhou, this trip will not go well. Yuan Shao and Chen Bing Hanoi, the road to Jizhou has already passed It is not feasible, the only way is to enter Qingzhou through Yanzhou through Dongjun. Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun, has a good relationship with Yuan Shao. Even if he does not block it publicly, he will secretly send troops to hinder our army's journey. Only 700 people in the camp and these miscellaneous soldiers , without the return of General Lu, we will definitely not be able to resist Cao Cao's army."

What Jia Xu said is indeed true. After crossing the Dahe, we staggered from the original Sili area and arrived in Yanzhou. This is basically Cao Cao's sphere of influence.Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have not broken their faces yet, and have maintained a very good ally relationship. Although Yuan Shao's temper, he must not be ashamed to ask Cao Cao for help, but Cao Cao and Lu Bu are not so friendly. If they were not killed by Qin Xu Cao Hong, if he gave up his horse to Cao Cao, he might lose Cao Cao's old life in the hands of Boss Lu.Now that he finally had such a good excuse, with Cao Cao's shrewdness, how could he let Lu Bu go?
"Then let's go slowly and wait for the main army?" After all, he is a traveler, and Qin Xu is not familiar with marching formations, so he had to ask the military expert, old fox Jia Xu.

"What Master Qin said is true. It would be best if we can have General Lu's main force accompanying us, but these two people will also think so, I'm afraid Yuan Shao and Cao Cao won't give us time!" Jia Xuruo Said thoughtfully.

"Report! Twenty miles south of the front, an unknown army of soldiers and horses appeared, about a thousand men, marching towards our army. General Gao, please make a decision!"

Qin Xu was in the car, when he heard the noise outside, he was taken aback for a moment.Unfortunately, Jia Xu really hit the mark.

Unknown army?

It had been two days since Qin Xu and the others left Hanoi, because after Lu Bu broke up, Yuan Shao expected that there would be no major troubles, and there was half a day's journey ahead before he reached the river, and after crossing the river was the boundary of Yanzhou.But at this time, an unknown army suddenly blocked the way, whose army?

"Mr. Wenhe, could it be Cao Cao's army? After learning about our army, cross the river to intercept?" Qin Xu smiled wryly. It was almost an abandoned city, except for Cao Cao, Qin Xu really couldn't think of anyone else who could appear on the border of Hanoi at this time.

"From the perspective of the distance, maybe only Cao Mengde has this time." Jia Xu rolled his eyes and asked Qin Xu, "I don't know what good strategy Master Qin has to defeat the enemy?"

"Test me?" Qin Xu raised his eyebrows.If Cao Cao came with tens of thousands of men, perhaps Qin Xu would have no choice but to capture them without a fight, but now the strength of the two sides is basically the same. Although there are not many soldiers capable of fighting on his own side, and he has to divide his troops to guard his luggage and his family, there is always a way to think of it. .Qin Xu frowned and said: "The other party's intention is unclear. Since they don't use the banner, they must be lacking in confidence. If they fight recklessly, although they can win, it is absolutely not advisable to hurt the enemy by one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred. For the current plan, can you To show the enemy weakness and lure him into attacking?"

Jia Xu smiled without saying a word, glanced at Cai Yong, and said to Qin Xu: "As for the enemy's sudden change, Master Qin should discuss it with General Gao. But the opponent is only twenty miles away from our army, and he can be there in an instant. , Mr. Qin, don't take it lightly."

The old fox's words were so vague that Qin Xu was confused and didn't quite understand whether Jia Xu agreed with him or not.But the other party will arrive soon, and Qin Xu still understands it. It seems that he will not be able to understand the meaning of the old fox's words for a while. At critical moments, General Gao is still reliable.

After receiving the reward from the sentry cavalry, Gao Shun had already started to deploy. Seeing Qin Xu's arrival, he frowned and said, "The other party's cavalry is not clear about the purpose of coming. Master Qin is not going to protect the lord's family. What are you doing here?"

Gao Shun's words were polite, but in fact he felt that Qin Xu was in the way. He originally thought that Gao Shun would directly issue the order to evict the guests, but he didn't expect Gao Shun to turn a corner and say such scenes.

"Has General Gao found out the details of the other party?" Qin Xu pretended not to understand Gao Shun's words, and asked, "Could it be that Yuan Shao's pursuers came by detour, avoiding the sight of the lord, and the purpose was for the escort we escorted?" A batch of supplies?"

"Yuan Shao's pursuit? No!" Gao Shun was taken aback by Qin Xu's question, and replied: "Master Qin is too worried. If it is Yuan Shao's pursuit, there is absolutely no need to hide and hide like this, it is meaningless."

"Could it be Cao Cao, Cao Cao crossed the river and crossed the border to attack, and took advantage of Yuan Shao's life to gain benefits from it?" Qin Xu expressed his inference, waiting for the approval of Gao Shun, a veteran in the battlefield.

"This...isn't easy to say!" Gao Shun obviously also had thoughts in this regard, and nodded after Qin Xu said it.

"Report! General Gao, Master Qin, sentry cavalry came to report. Twenty miles southwest of the front, an army with no banner appeared, about a thousand people! It is marching towards our army!"

"Another army that doesn't know where it came from?" Qin Xu looked at Gao Shun suspiciously.If Cao Cao really intends to cross the river and attack, there is no need to send two armies to disperse, right?

What's more, the two armies together only have more than [-] people. If they really want to surround Qin Xu and others, there is no need to use such a small number of people to complete the encirclement, right?

"Explore again!"

"promise!"

Gao Shun and Qin Xu seemed to have thought of going together, and Lu Bu was leading a large army to entangle Yuan Shao's pursuers. It was only two days before two troops with unknown intentions appeared in front, even if Yuan Shao really went with Cao Cao or others The forces are connected, and they made an appointment to encircle and suppress Lu Bu, but the news of these people is too well-informed, right?Calculated almost at the same time as Yuan Shao got the news, they dispatched troops at the same time. This kind of tacit understanding, in this era when communication basically relies on shouting, is really very efficient.

"Here's an order to stop the whole army from advancing, and use the food trucks as barriers to form a defensive formation. Send people to inform the lord that we will stand by and wait for help! Make sure that the family's luggage is not lost!" issued an order.

"Who is this person here?" Qin Xu also became more and more confused.

For the cavalry, the distance of only twenty miles was only a quarter of an hour, and soon Qin Xu saw the true faces of the two armies.

Qin Xu can be sure that these two armies that appeared at the same time will definitely not belong to the same faction.Regardless of the morale of the equipment, there are obvious differences.

"Who is coming? Why do you want to block our army's way forward?" Gao Shun had already set up a defensive position before the arrival of the two armies. He was trapped in the camp with his sword out of its sheath and his horse in armor. He watched the two armies in full vigilance. Thousands of troops.

"..."

The two armies that appeared suddenly were also silent for a while. It seemed that the generals of both sides did not expect another army to appear at the same time, and no one answered Gao Shun's question, but watched each other vigilantly at the same time.

"Interesting, interesting!" Qin Xu's flustered state of mind gradually calmed down under this sudden and funny scene, and he felt like sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight.

"Qin Xu, with your small body, why are you here to join in the fun? Get in sister Yan's car and take shelter!" There is no one else who can say these words except Lu Lingqi, Miss Lu. When Qin Xu and Cai Yan were together, Lu Lingqi would always appear later by "coincidentally". When she was in real danger, Cai Yan was the girl who felt most at ease.

"Miss, what are you doing here if you don't protect the two wives from behind?" Qin Xu was also a little surprised, seeing Lu Lingqi's armor-clad appearance, she could tell that this girl must have heard that there was an unknown army When she arrived, the warlike gene of the old Lu family was perfectly reflected in her body.

At this moment, with the addition of 700 people from the Lv Bu army camp where Qin Xu is located, more than [-] soldiers and horses have gathered on this small plain less than [-] miles away from the big river. The strange thing is that these three soldiers and horses are not mutually exclusive. Dominion, but evenly matched.The three parties were full of gunpowder, but none of them took it easy, and even the most basic procedures for exchanging names were not fulfilled.

This strange state lasted for nearly half an hour, and there was even a small amount of commotion in the military forces of the two opposite sides, but this strange state of confrontation between the three parties still did not change.

"It seems that the two armies on the opposite side are also wary of each other." Qin Xu, who had completely relaxed his mind, said quietly to Lu Lingqi beside him.

"You mean they didn't go all the way?" Lu Lingqi only realized now, and said coquettishly, "Why didn't you say it earlier! By the way, they're here one by one, neither fighting nor retreating? You're so smart, sure What do you mean by seeing it? Right?"

"My lady! It's all so clear, why do you still ask?" Qin Xu said helplessly: "They are afraid that if one side attacks our army, the other side will most likely take their back. Under the pincer attack, whoever strikes first will be finished!"

"Since it's such a good opportunity, why didn't Uncle Gao take advantage of the opportunity to attack?" Lu Lingqi asked calmly with a blush on her cheeks when Qin Xu just said 'my eldest lady'.

"General Gao is considering the luggage of the family members behind us. Don't move lightly. He has sent someone to inform the lord!" The two armies on the opposite side seemed to be annoyed by this formation. The figure in armor seems to be the leader of the two armies.Qin Xu watched the actions of the two leaders intently, and answered Lu Lingqi's question without looking back.

"It's best if they are in the same group. They want to attack us with mantises, cicadas, and orioles. I haven't seen blood since I made this fine iron halberd." Lu Lingqi saw that Qin Xu didn't notice herself. The gaffe, fortunately but also inevitably a little disappointed, said bitterly.

"Perhaps they did come here with the idea of ​​'picking up dried fish' and 'gaining benefits' at the beginning, but they would never have expected that they would meet someone with the same thoughts. This battle, probably I can't fight anymore." Qin Xu narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully.
