Lu's relatives

Chapter 656

This incident actually gave Zhen Jian a headache.Although there was no actual loss, it was obvious that his daughter was taken advantage of after all.If the parties involved were replaced by other people, given the status of the Zhen family in Hebei and the great reputation of the old man Zhen, it would be enough not to confiscate the "tools" of the apprentice who dared to "frivolously" his beloved daughter. It shows Zhen Jian's generosity.

But this person is Qin Xu.As Lu Bu's son-in-law, Qin Xu is also the number two figure in the army, which is related to the interests of the Zhen family in Hebei, so even Zhen Jian cannot easily make plans.Originally, if it was a mistake, it would be a mistake, and it would be a dangerous move to use this matter to catch someone from Qin.But it's not like Zhen Jian didn't know how stiff Zhen Jiang and Qin Xu were before, and he was afraid that it would backfire.What's more, Zhen Jiang's goal was "Lu Bu" before. Although he didn't succeed, after all, this matter still has some influence in Linzi.Now that the Zhen family has tied up Lu Bujun's chariot, there are some things that can't be done. In the end, it was the father and son who took the trouble to lure them into the mansion. Even Zhen Jiang sent them to the house by himself. This misunderstanding came about after several mistakes, but it made Zhen Jian, who was always scheming, not sure.In desperation, he had no choice but to let Qin Xu leave.

"Old Xu, you are reliable at critical times! If you come later, I think Qin will really feel ashamed." Zhen Jian's attitude seems to be quite different from what he expected before, but the old man looks shrewd. , I don't know what tricks are waiting for me, I didn't expect to "escape from the tiger's den" so easily, Qin Xu was sincerely grateful to Xu Shang who came to rescue him.

"General Qin, something really happened. My lord ordered the last general to come and find me!" Old Xu was a little embarrassed by Qin Xu's blunt thanks, and he didn't know how Qin Xu still treated Zhen with his current status and prestige. Jian Na is just an old man who is a businessman so scrupulous, but although Old Xu is very brave, he is usually silent. Even if he has doubts, he didn't ask any questions.

"Huh? What's going on?" Seeing that Old Xu didn't look like he was joking, Qin Xu asked with a frown.

"Cao Cao broke Huguan!" Old Xu said with a worried look on his face, "According to the information we heard, the former guard of Huguan surrendered Cao Cao because he was dissatisfied with Guan Yu's arrogance, and directed Cao Cao's army to cross the small road. After crossing the mountain, taking advantage of Guan Yu's unpreparedness, he launched a surprise attack from the back of Huguan, attacking back and forth, and captured Huguan in one fell swoop."

"Is the news true? What about the guard Guan Yu? Was he captured by Cao Cao or escaped?" Qin Xu had expected Cao Cao to break the pot. It was just a checkpoint. If Cao Cao didn't even have this ability, The five states of the Central Plains had been taken away long ago. As for the method, Qin Xu didn't care too much.What's more, Qin Xu and Lu Bu had already been mentally prepared from the very beginning. All their planning was based on the time of gains and losses in Huguan as the beginning of the next plan, so they were not too surprised.What Qin Xu is most concerned about is whether Guan Yu, the Martial God of later generations, will be defeated because of this, which may be directly related to the difficulty of obtaining the three prefectures in Hebei.

"There is no news." Xu Shang shook his head and said: "Before, there was a thief general Zhang Fei who led his troops to spy on the plains. It was not easy for our army sentry cavalry to find out the news. This time the news still found that the thief general Zhang Fei's cavalry had retreated to Ye. The signs of the city, and the reference of the Hebei topographic map presented by the Zhen family, confirmed that the news of the fall of Huguan is true, and the lord ordered the general to return quickly to discuss the military plan in the future."

"Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, this man's action speed is really fast! Unexpectedly, he also saved a life!" Qin Xu shook his head with a smile, and without further words, he greeted Xu Shang and straddled the horse.

"Since Cao Cao has torn his face this time, then his excuse that Laoshi's son is on behalf of the emperor to inspect the prefecture has no basis. He attacked the Dahan prefecture without authorization. The purpose of stationing here is to wait for Cao Cao to make a move first, and then take Jizhou in one fell swoop, what else are you thinking about, and send troops as soon as possible!" Qin Xu and Xu Shang came to Lu Bu's official residence in Pingyuan, but he hadn't entered yet. Well, I could hear arguing like a boiling pot inside.The one with the loudest voice was Cheng Lian, who was spitting all over the sky and yelling loudly.This guy is a master who is not afraid of anything, but he is extremely favored by Lu Bu. Perhaps he also misses this kind of military account discussion scene that rarely occurs after Lu Bu's reputation has grown. Seeing Cheng Lian tearing his chest open The battle clothes started to roll up their sleeves and scold their mothers, and Lu Bu didn't feel annoyed, just watched Zhang Liao, Gao Shun Chenglian and others under his command discuss matters with a smile.

"Old Cheng, if you can judge success or failure by your voice, with your voice, if it is placed in front of the two armies, even Cao Cao will be afraid of you three points!" Qin Xu is no longer the same as when he was in the army meeting five years ago. I can only follow the boy in the bottom seat to see Lu Bu's face, and the friendship with Cheng Lian, Gaoshun, Zhang Liao and the generals is getting deeper and deeper, so this joke did not annoy Cheng Lian, but also caused a burst of laughter from the generals .

"You have such a mouth! Thanks to your maturity and honesty, if you were someone else, you would have to have a nice talk with you." Ever since having his eldest grandson, Lu Chen, Lu Bu's temper has been tempered by that little ancestor. At least this time, after hearing the news that Cao Cao broke Huguan within five days and was preparing to attack Yecheng with his entire army, he was still willing to listen to the army's discussion.If this was five years ago, I'm afraid that he would be the first to rush forward with Fang Tian's painting halberd, and fight first.

"That's right! Brother Zhongming, even if everyone in the army knows that our friendship is as strong as gold, you can't blame us for being old, right? No, you have to make up for Yu, so-so, and appoint someone from a certain family so-so. The vanguard of the attack on Jizhou this time, we will consider that we will still be brothers in the future!" Cheng Lian also looked very unhappy to be ridiculed by Qin Xu, but he exposed his intention after three sentences. There was laughter and cursing among them.

"You have a good plan! But it's a pity, you can't do it!" Qin Xu and Lu Bu met Li, first took a few steps in front of Cheng Lian, and the smile on his face made Cheng Lian unconsciously smiled and nodded. He looked at Qin Xu expectantly, but he didn't expect to finally hear such a conclusion from Qin Xu's mouth. His face immediately changed, and he turned away from Qin Xu with a bit of grievance, and looked at Lu Bu.It seems that he must want to ask for an explanation.

"Zhong Ming said about this a long time ago, and I agreed to it! Cheng Lian, you don't need to repeat it!" In the end, the old man is very supportive of his son-in-law. Deliberately pushed back.However, Cheng Lian was the first general to be sent out as Lu Bu's army, and the general who led the army and stationed in a place alone. He sang and chorused, definitely not intentionally making fun of himself, there must be other arrangements, and the brows drooped in cooperation immediately, with a helpless look, which caused a lot of laughter.

"Okay! Don't make trouble. Now that Zhongming is here, let's discuss how to deal with this matter!" This kind of utilitarian laughter made Lu Bu's expression brighten, and there was nostalgia in his eyes. He stopped everyone's "crusade" against Cheng Lian with a smile, and said, "everyone knows about this matter. Although we knew from the beginning that a pot alone would not be able to stop Cao's attack." The big army, just didn't expect it to be so fast. It only took five days to change the owner of the natural danger. It also shows that Liu Bei's ability is not very good. And from the east of Huguan to Yecheng, there is no danger to defend. It can be said that as long as Cao Cao is willing, he can march outside Yecheng in only two or three days, and face the coalition forces of Yuan Shang and Liu Bei. How should our army respond, I ask you all to think carefully."

"What else is there to think about? Didn't Cao Cao's newly established emperor already assign Jizhou to the lord? This incident is equivalent to the shit that someone Cao himself pulled out and ate it himself. Let's What else is there to say? It’s nothing more than soldiers coming to cover up water and soil. Since he doesn’t care about the name of Laoshizi Alliance, are we still afraid of him?” Cheng Lian was the first to speak.Although he was teased by Lu Bu and Qin Xu and his son-in-law just now, he knew that he must have other things arranged for him to do, but this did not prevent Cheng Lian from speaking out his thoughts.To be honest, this is probably what most generals in Lu Bu's army think.Just kidding, Lu Bu is known as the most powerful general in the world. As a soldier under the command of the world's most powerful general, it is possible that he will be afraid of fighting. I am afraid that he does not care about Cao Cao, Yuan Shang and Liu Bei's coalition forces. Who is coming?

"And then? Officially tearing apart with Cao Cao? Under the circumstances of recruiting new soldiers, will Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou start a full-scale war with the Central Plains?" Qin Xu asked with a smile: "But what Lao Cheng said is the same, what about Cao Cao's army? Is it enough to be afraid? As long as the lord is willing, our army is sure to kill Xuchang at any time, making Cao Cao's lair unsafe. But! It is undeniable that although Cao Jun is also full of hidden dangers, his strength is there. Even if our army will definitely win in the end, it will definitely hurt our army's vitality! Don't forget, whether it is the combined army of Gongsun Zan in Hebei, Liu Bei and Yuan Shang, Ma Teng and Han Sui in the northwest, Liu Biao and Liu Yan in the southwest, They all look forward to this day like a severe drought. This is why our army and Cao Cao's army are secretly competing for the land of Hebei. Both armies are empty in the rear, but there is no interference from any force. We are waiting to watch a play, waiting to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, if we do that, wouldn’t it be in line with other people’s wishes? Are we making wedding dresses for others for nothing?”

"Then Zhongming, what do you think we should do? Is it possible that our army has been stationed in the plain for several days, and in the end, we have to worry about this and that, and watch Jizhou be acquired by Cao Cao?" Cheng Lian asked in a muffled voice.

"Of course I won't come here in vain!" Qin Xu and Lu Bu looked at each other, nodded, and said, "So, we need someone who can make Cao Cao suffer so much that he can't help but see Jizhou close in front of him, but suffers. There is no way to go down!"
