Lu's relatives

Chapter 61 Meeting Lu Cao

Under the resentful eyes of Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, Lu Bu finally decided to go to Cao Cao's territory via Yanzhou as a "guest".

When Shenpei and Yan Liang in Huaicheng received the news that Lv Bujun had crossed the river, three or four hours had passed. They looked at each other and sat quietly for a long time, each thinking in their hearts. Both of them knew Yuan Shao's temper. This time, the two put all their efforts into Jizhou, and did not "retain" Lv Bu. They let Lv Bu cross the river to Qingzhou. Moreover, it is difficult to explain the demise of Xiandengying, and it is really difficult for the two of Yuan Shao's top confidantes, Wen and Wu.For a moment, the two felt a sense of sympathy for each other, and were relatively speechless, thinking about how to explain to Yuan Shao.

After crossing the great river, we arrived at the boundary of Yanzhou.

To be honest, Qin Xu thought of joining Cao Cao at the beginning, which was indeed the most correct choice at the time.As soon as you enter Yanzhou, you can clearly feel the difference between this place and Jizhou and Sili.

Although Yanzhou has been war-torn since the beginning of the Yellow Turban, and the people's livelihood has been in decline, it was once a large state in the Central Plains with rich land and people. Although the situation has become more and more decadent since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, accumulation and heritage are not easy. What can be wiped out by war is far from comparable to other states and counties in the Han Dynasty.

"General Lu, you will arrive at Chenliu City [-] miles ahead. My lord, General Cao, is hosting a banquet in the city to welcome Wenhou!" The captain of the Cao Army who claimed to be Xiahouguang seemed to be a member of Cao Cao's loyal Xiahou clan. His admiration for Cao Cao was beyond words, which made Qin Xu more curious about Cao Cao, whom he had admired for a long time but had never seen before.

Chenliu is an ancient city. It was the place where Cao Cao raised his troops for the first uprising. The later generation Qin Xu once visited here, but he did not expect to visit the old place again. It has been nearly 2000 years.

"Qin Xu, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Qin Xu was not in high spirits, Lu Lingqi asked curiously.

After arriving at the boundary of Yanzhou, Qin Xu no longer had the privilege of riding a car. Except for Lu Bu's family, Cai's father and daughter, and Zhang Yang who was in a coma, even the old fox Jia Xu rode on the horse with everyone.

This is not the first time that Lu Bu and Jia Xu have met. When Jia Xu was serving as Dong Zhuo's eunuch, he met Lu Bu who was Dong Zhuo's adoptive son. In the next six months, Lu Bu will be forced to leave Chang'an and go to Hanoi, let alone rush to Qingzhou together as a "family general" under his command.If Lu Bu was born after 2000, he would have to sigh: how impermanent life is.Fortunately, Lu Wenhou was kind-hearted. When we met again, he didn't want to fight or kill as he said, but after all, he was defeated by Jia Xu, so he didn't seem very enthusiastic. In principle, it didn't attract much attention.

"Brother Fengxian! It's so late!"

Just when Lu Bujun had just set up camp outside Chenliu City and was about to enter the city later, he saw a large group of people galloping towards him from a distance. The leader was a slightly fat man with a kind face. After seeing Lu Bu, he flew off his horse. At that time, he almost stumbled, thanks to Lu Bu who saw the opportunity quickly and grabbed the person who came, so that he would not make a fool of himself in public.

"Brother Meng Zhuo? It really is Brother Meng Zhuo!" Lu Bu was also very surprised when he saw who was coming, and asked, "Since I heard that my brother and the heroes of the two states met Suanzao for the second time to discuss Dong Zhuo, there has been no news of him. I really miss it."

"What? My lord is familiar with Zhang Taishou?" Qin Xu was confused, but he immediately felt relieved after thinking about it.In history, when Chen Gong rebelled against Cao Cao and welcomed Lu Bu, he sent Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao to contact Chen Liu's prefect Zhang Miao to rebel together, and Zhang Miao quickly agreed.Zhang Miao is an iron man in Cao Cao's eyes. He even said that if there is a change in the expedition to Xuzhou, he can entrust all his family to Zhang Miao; if Zhang Miao's relationship with Lu Bu is far superior to that of Cao Cao, Zhang Miao will not give up almost all of his followers anyway. Lu Bu was wandering, and was finally killed by his subordinates on the way to Yuan Shu for help.Seeing the situation between the two at this time, Qin Xu was even more convinced.

"Brother Fengxian, I have heard from Meng De that you borrowed the matter of Yanzhou this time. Although Meng De and Yuan Shao are in an alliance now, you don't need to pay attention to Brother Fengxian! That guy Yuan Shao is so rude. Me, I robbed him too, Brother Feng Xian was angry for my younger brother!" The entanglement between Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao started from the first crusade against Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao hinted Cao Cao to kill Zhang Miao several times because of some trivial matters. , were blocked by Cao Cao, so Lv Bu's looting of Yecheng was a joy to Zhang Miao.

At this time, Zhang Miao, together with Qiao Mao and others, had just recommended Cao Cao to serve as Yanzhou Shepherd. It was the time when he had the best relationship with Cao Cao, and he had no scruples in speaking.

"Meng Zhuo, are you here ordered by General Cao to pick me up?" Lu Bu exchanged pleasantries with Zhang Miao for a while, seeing that Zhang Miao did not reveal Cao Cao's intention of inviting him at all, he asked suspiciously.

"Brother Feng Xian wanted to meet Meng De, so someone would naturally come to invite him later. Miao really had something to ask for, so he came early." It can be seen that the friendship between Zhang Miao and Lu Bu is no less than that between Lu Bu and Zhang Yang. On the contrary, Lu Bu laughed and agreed: "Meng Zhuo's words are too serious. Between you and me, why do you need a word? Just be blunt!"

"Miao is extremely grateful to have Feng Xianxiong's words, but this..." Zhang Miao waved away the guards around him, and looked at the generals behind Lu Bu.

"My lord, I'm going to supervise the building of the camp!" Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others did not wait for Lu Bu to turn around, and they all said they had something to leave. Qin Xu also wanted to leave, but he didn't want to be stopped by Lu Bu's eyes, so he had no choice but to chat with Lu Lingqi They stayed behind Lu Bu together.

"This is the little girl, Lingqi, Ling'er. I haven't met your uncle Zhang yet!" Lu Bu saw Zhang Miao looking at Qin Xu and Qin Xu behind him with a puzzled look, and said with a smile, "Meng Zhuo, you are an uncle. You haven't seen my precious daughter!"

"It turned out to be a good niece, and she was indeed a tiger father without a dog. With this armor on her body, I thought she was a general, but I didn't expect to be a heroine. Not bad, this one..." Zhang Miao noticed the top helmet at this time. Lu Lingqi was a little girl, and Zhang Miao didn't say much about Lu Bu letting his daughter go. Instead, he kept praising her, which made Lu Lingqi blush.However, because of this, Zhang Miao's eyes became more and more curious about Qin Xu who was standing beside Lu Bu, but he was not sure about Qin Xu's identity.

"This is my army chief, Qin Xu! Don't worry about Meng Zhuo!" Lu Bu said angrily, as if he was still concerned about Qin Xu taking Lu Lingqi to battle in private.

"My little brother wants to recommend someone to Brother Fengxian! I don't know if Brother Fengxian dares to use him?" Seeing that Lu Bu was unwilling to introduce Qin Xu more, Zhang Miao did not continue to ask, but leaned closer to Lu Bu's ear, expressively. asked in a mysterious whisper.

"Recommendation? Meng Zhuo is under the command of General Cao, why did he recommend it to Bu?" Lü Bu asked, eyebrows twitching slightly.

"This person...Hi!" Zhang Miao seemed to be uncomfortable with this person's name, looked around again, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Brother Fengxian, just say whether you want it or not!"

Qin Xu was also extremely curious when he heard this. Could it be that the employment situation at the end of the Han Dynasty was also very severe?Is it also popular to recommend job hunting through relationships?
It shouldn't be, Cao Cao's pursuit of talents is famous all over the world, and the order of seeking talents that will appear in the future will open the door for the Han Dynasty under the control of this aristocratic family. If he is really a talent, how can Zhang Miao treat him Lu Bu's question seems to be unspeakable?

"Oh? Who is it? They made Meng Zhuo so difficult?" Zhang Miao's attitude aroused Lu Bu's interest, and he asked, "Since it was recommended by Meng Zhuo, how can Bu accept it? Where is this person now? Is it possible?" Bring me to see you?"

"Ahem, thank you, Brother Fengxian, but this person is now with my younger brother Zhang Chao. Ahem, Brother Fengxian, there is no need to worry. This person is quite talented, and he will definitely not disappoint Brother Fengxian." Zhang Miao said nothing. Thinking of Lu Bu agreeing so readily, he was a little embarrassed for a while, and explained anxiously.

"Well, Bu will wait and see what is so special about being so strongly recommended by Brother Meng Zhuo!" Lu Bu smiled indifferently.

"Could it be him?" Qin Xu has been recalling the stories about Zhang Miao. When he first heard that Zhang Miao was going to recommend talents to Lu Bu, a name appeared in Qin Xu's mind.If it was really him, then Lu Bu would definitely have made a profit. Although this person's talent is not shown in the world, he is definitely the number one top person.Moreover, this person has a lot of history with Lu Bu, and even his son is highly valued under Lu Bu's command. If he can get this person, then it will be no problem for Lu Bu to gain a foothold in Qingzhou.

Seeing that Lu Bu agreed to come down, Zhang Miao also showed a relaxed smile on his face. He chatted with Lu Bu for a long time, and finally waited for Cao Cao's forces to welcome Lu Bu's official. His face suddenly became a little strange.

Cao Ren!

The future general of Cao Cao's forces, Cao Hong who was killed by Qin Xu, was Cao Ren's uncle and brother.Seeing the young and calm Cao Ren trying to pretend to be "warm" to greet him, Qin Xu really wanted to know what the other party's expression would be if he knew that Cao Hong had lost his life.

Lu Lingqi also seemed to have noticed Qin Xu's unnaturalness, and tugged on Qin Xu's sleeve, so that Qin Xu did not lose his composure.

Leaving Lu Lingqi, Gao Shun, Song Xianhou Cheng Chenglian and others to stay in the camp, Lu Bu brought only a dozen soldiers trapped in the camp, Zhang Liao, Qin Xu and others, led by Zhang Miao and Cao Ren, into Chenliu City.

Cao Cao is now the shepherd of Yanzhou, and the Yanzhou government was originally in Changyi, but Chenliu was Cao Cao's headquarters, the place of the first righteousness, and it was closer to the battlefield where the Yellow Turbans ravaged, so Cao Cao stayed in Chenliu most of the time.

This is the first time that Qin Xu is so close to his former idol, although the honor of this idol is really against him.

"Fengxian! Fengxian! Cao Cao has been looking forward to Jun Yan for a long time, and it is really a great fortune to see you today!"

Cao Cao's face was a bit haggard, but the deep eyes in his narrow and narrow eyes made it easy to feel a little dignified.

Although Cao Cao almost died at the hands of Boss Lu several times, when the two heroes met for the first time, they didn't feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction from Cao Cao.On the contrary, that kind of enthusiasm and intimacy made Lu Bu almost overwhelmed.

People who don't know the past of the two may think that the two walking together and talking happily are the best friends in the world!
