Lu's relatives

Chapter 70 Arranged Marriage
Cheng Lian turned his mouth around and became dumb.

Betting with Qin Xu twice, although in exchange for the experience of leading a horse and falling in public twice, the relationship between Cheng Lian and Qin Xu is the best among all the generals under Lu Bu's command.

"Master Qin, what are the father and son's plans? Giving up the food, grass and supplies we have so hard to get, it really doesn't hurt to stand and talk." Seeing that Cheng Lian was speechless by Qin Xu's words, Hou Cheng smiled wryly, He said: "Not to mention anything else, among the military funds, there are one hundred thousand shi that you and the eldest lady worked so hard to get, so you just gave up, are you willing?"

"Old Hou, Chief Qin and Zang Sima naturally have their own ideas, so don't say anything weird!" Before Qin Xu could reply, Song Xian dragged Hou Cheng aside, smiled apologetically at Zang Hong, and said : "Zang Sima and Xiao Zang Xiaowei, don't worry about it, Lao Cheng and Laohou have such a bad temper, there is no other meaning. Don't worry about it."

Zang Hong was fine, but Zang Ba glanced at Qin Xu with a little surprise. He really didn't expect that this little master who was "superior" by his nepotism had such a good popularity among the generals of Lu Bu's army.

"Okay, the situation is urgent, Qin Xu, don't be fooled, let me know your opinion." Lu Bu waved at Hou Cheng and the others impatiently, and said.

"What Zang Sima said before is an old-fashioned and prudent word, and it is indeed a good idea." Qin Xu cupped his hands at Zang Hong, and said: "Before, I was just wondering if Cao Cao would betray his faith and make trouble, so we decided to share the same ride with the soldiers and the supplies. Horses, speed up your march; now it seems that the previous inferences have confirmed our guesses, so soldiers and horses must conserve their strength to prepare for battle. There is no doubt about this.”

"Since that's the case, what do you mean, Mr. Qin, that you agree to give up our hard-earned food, grass and supplies?" Hou Cheng still had some knots in his heart, and muttered to himself.

"Old Hou, are you ready?" Qin Xu looked at Hou Cheng with a funny face, looking like a bullied little daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "When did I say that giving up these food, grass, and luggage is for nothing to benefit Cao Cao? You must not forget that apart from war soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers, we are not without soldiers. It is a waste to leave them alone, why not use them?"

"Master Qin, are you talking about the captured soldiers who entered the camp first?" Cheng Lian immediately realized that this was the main culprit that led to the almost complete destruction of his flying cavalry battalion. It was Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi who stopped him from being stopped. After Lu Bu killed them all, Cheng Lian immediately understood Qin Xu's meaning, and said hesitantly: "But are these captive soldiers trustworthy? These people used to be the elite of Yuan Shao's army, and they were all rebellious. If..."

Cheng Lian didn't continue his words, but all the generals understood the meaning of what he said.Cao Cao's attack was menacing, and Lu Bu's army would definitely have to deal with it with all their strength. It was impossible to send troops to guard these captives. If these people had other intentions, such as setting fire to the supplies, Lu Bu's army would have no time to cry.

"Who said they should be used to escort these luggage, this is the lifeline of our army!" Qin Xu borrowed Hou Cheng's words with a smile and said with a smile.

"Don't talk about these useless things." Lu Bu said with a dark face: "I learned this from someone, and I talked half of it. In the future, stay with that old fox less. I don't learn much from the good ones, just learn from the bad things."

Lu Bu's words made all the generals in the tent burst into laughter, which greatly eased the tense atmosphere. The conversation between the two also made the newly joined Zang Hong and his son see Qin Xu's position in Lu Bu's heart, Zang Ba Although Qin Xu was still not pleasing to the eye, but just accepted Qin Xu's love, it was hard to say anything for a while, so he curled his lips and remained silent.

"Going to the camp first is the elite of Yuan Shao's army after all. He was coerced by the lord's power, and the road is smooth. I mean..." Qin Xu glanced at the generals in the tent, paused, and cupped his hands at Lu Blan Said: "In addition to more than [-] soldiers in our army, there are more than [-] miscellaneous soldiers. What I mean is that except for cavalry and light cavalry, the rest of the soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers are all carrying heavy loads. Cao Jun arrived in Qingzhou before the encirclement, which made Cao Jun have some scruples."

"You mean to use these three hundred first camp soldiers as suspicious soldiers? No, no, this is nonsense." Gao Shun, who had been silent all the time, also said, "Not to mention that Cao Jun came here with three armies. There are at least 300 troops, these [-] people are not enough, not to mention that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao belong to the alliance, these people are lucky if they don’t turn against each other, relying on them to contain Cao’s army, which is a hundred times stronger, is just a dream.”

"General Gao, don't forget that Yuan Shao's elite will be able to go to the camp first, but they are Qu Yi's private soldiers after all. As long as Qu Yi is in our army, the chances of these people defecting will be greatly reduced. Besides, if other generals complete the You may have such concerns about this mission, don't forget who saved these people's lives." Qin Xu said with a confident look.

"Master Qin, you..." After hearing Qin Xu's words, Zhang Liao suddenly changed his usual calmness and determination, showing a look of surprise, and said, "Don't tell me, you are thinking about yourself..."

"That's right!" Qin Xu laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "In this situation, Cao Cao's three-way army is less than a hundred miles away. If we concentrate our superior forces, we can break through Cao Chun's east line of defense with the power of your lord. It is not difficult to reach Qingzhou, all the generals are our army's brave generals, the Lord's right and left hand, it is up to you whether you can successfully enter Qingzhou with the Lord."

"Master Qin, leave this matter to me. Anyway, my flying battalion is not as good as it used to be, and I can't help the lord. Why don't you let me come..." Cheng Lian and Qin Xu have the best relationship. Qin Xu actually thought of breaking the queen alone, and immediately said with righteous indignation.

"You? Forget it!" Qin Xu patted Cheng Lian on the shoulder, pointed to his head and said with a smile: "If the two armies confront each other, ten of me will not be your opponent, but don't forget, you are Lost to me twice. It depends on this, you, no!"

"Master Qin..."

"Qin Xu..."

Song Xianhou Cheng Qin Yi and other generals under Lu Bu's army were a little excited when they heard that Qin Xu had such an idea. Zang Hong and Zang Ba looked at each other, and the contempt in Zang Ba's eyes eased a bit.

"Okay, don't talk about it anymore. I have made up my mind. I am afraid that this matter will not be possible for anyone except me!" It has reached this point, and Qin Xu let go, saying, "It's useless to persuade anyone! Cao Cao This time, the whole army is attacking, what I hope most is that we will cause chaos before fighting, and we will not let his tricks succeed, you can rest assured, I am most afraid of death, and I will not lose my life so easily."

"Qin Xu, how sure are you?" Lu Bu did not persuade Qin Xu to give up this seemingly impossible task with the generals. Instead, he asked in a deep voice: "Three hundred captured soldiers who are uncertain, plus you Even I dare not exaggerate the fact that Cao Cao's [-]-strong army is attacking a master who has no power to restrain a chicken, where does your confidence come from?"

"To be honest, I'm not [-]% sure." Qin Xu said with a wry smile: "But in this situation, whether it is to attack Jibei by force or to fight Cao Cao, even if we win by luck, it will cause great casualties to us. , it will be very detrimental to the lord's rectification of Qingzhou in the future. Since it is a deadly situation, then let the dead horse be a living horse doctor, try it."

"No!" said with a sullen face: "You have never been on the battlefield, so you don't know the danger. If you are caught by Cao Cao, just because you made Cao Cao's two confidants that night, you will definitely be retaliated by that fellow. Even if I tried to save you, it would be futile to die."

"Don't worry, my lord!" Qin Xu said with a faint smile: "Cao's army is tens of thousands against our army's hundreds. Anyone can see the danger in this ratio. How can I not know why I am so afraid of death? But what the lord said just now is for me. A reassurance. I can be sure that I will never die."

"What do you mean by Master Qin's words?" Zhang Liao asked, looking at Lv Bu who was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Old Cao, you don't understand him. He loves talent like his life! If I hadn't done anything well that night, I might have died, but I just demoralized Cao Cao's God of Wealth and Counselor. Even if Cao Cao captured me, he would die." It must be based on persuading surrender, and it will not hurt my life. Taking a step back, even if I am unfortunately arrested, it doesn’t matter. I am best at playing tricks on the spot. In the worst case, I will pretend to surrender first. When the time changes, the lord will stand firm in Qingzhou Heel, come to Yanzhou to rescue me again, what are you afraid of?" Qin Xu said jokingly.

"But……"

"Forget it, don't talk about it." Lu Bu clapped the case, and said in a deep voice: "Qin Xu's words are reasonable. There are many suspicious soldiers, and it will buy time for the main force of our army to defeat Cao Chunjun in Jibei. This matter will be handed over to Qin Xu. manage!"

"No, I don't agree!" Gao Shun, who had been keeping his face cold and silent, suddenly went uncharacteristically, and said loudly: "This is simply nonsense, Qin Xu is nonsense, Fengxian and you are also nonsense, are you going to repeat what happened ten years ago?" Can’t make the same mistakes? I firmly disagree!”

In a rage, Gao Shun stopped even the lord, and directly rejected Lu Bu's words, saying angrily.

"Ten years ago? What happened?" Qin Xu once again saw this kind of situation between Lu Bu and Gao Shun. He didn't expect Gao Shunping to be silent during the day, and dared to pat on Lu Bu's table at a critical moment. .

"Old Gao!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "Needless to say. Do you think that I am willing to let this kid take such a big risk? Today I will say something in front of the lords, Qin Xu, listen carefully to me too. "

Seeing that Lv Bu was really angry, except for Gao Shun who kept his face cold, everyone straightened their posture and obeyed Lv Bu's orders.

"How about Master Qin's character? I believe everyone has known it after getting along for so long, and I won't hide it from everyone. I really love him! To be honest, I don't want Qin Xu to take risks like this, but! This matter concerns the [-] brothers in our army. , besides Qin Xu’s method, is there any other way?” Lu Bu shouted in a deep voice: “Between Qin Xu and Ling’er, I believe everyone can see that there are many rumors among those idle people in the barracks. I know all about the rumors between the two of you. Today I will express my opinion as a father. If Qin Xu returns safely, it will be the day when I will marry my little girl to this boy. If so, if Qin Xu is unlucky for me I'll let Ling'er be his widow if he's going to die! That's it!"

Lu Bu's words were both expected and unexpected by the generals. They did not expect Lu Bu to say such words at this time.With Lu Bu's words, Gao Shun was not too good to go on, he could only give Lu Bu a hard look, and retreated into the shift with a sullen face.

"This..." Qin Xu was surprised by Lu Bu's words, what do you mean?Is it too sudden?No one is mentally prepared!Arranged marriages!
