Lu's relatives

Chapter 99 The Yellow Turban Siege

Plans never change fast.Because of Qin Xu, a little butterfly, the riots that should have occurred in Qingzhou Yellow Turbans attacking Jibei in history have undergone some changes.Not only was there a time error, but the target also changed from Jibei to a place that Qin Xu didn't expect, Linzi!
You know, because of Lv Bu's strong intervention, Linzi has always been a restricted area for the yellow turban bandits with poor equipment and low combat power. After all, Lv Bu's great reputation was not blown out of thin air, and the strength of Lv Bu's army is also well known in the world. .Most of these yellow scarf thieves with hoes and sticks dared to come to Zi, which made Qin Xu a little surprised.

At the beginning of December in the third year of Chuping in the Han Dynasty, it may be that Linzi's implementation of a series of policies to benefit the people spread word of mouth among the refugees, which made Lv Bu's reputation in Qingzhou unprecedentedly high, making outsiders mistakenly think that Lv Bu's army had enough food to squander, or Under the guidance of people with ulterior motives and ulterior motives, the yellow turban thieves in Zichuan Guobo Mountain, which is the closest to Linzi City, suddenly launched an attack. Under the banner of borrowing grain for the winter, they threatened to borrow [-] shi from Lu Bu, and then they used all their capable soldiers to fight. More than ten thousand soldiers sent troops to Linzi city.

According to Shadow's information, this band of Yellow Turban bandits is a relatively powerful branch of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. The leader is Han Guang. After Zhang Jiao died of illness and was opened up and slaughtered, he had to escape and came to the territory of Zichuan incognito.

It coincided with Dong Zhuo's turmoil and the resurgence of the yellow scarves in Qingzhou and Xuzhou. As Zhang Jiao's attendant, Han Guang learned a little bit about Zhang Jiao's ability to bluff people. The Yellow Turban stragglers and refugees from the counties, Gaomi, and Jinan State had a total population of more than [-]. Relying on Boshan as a barrier, they linked up with other Yellow Turban forces and plundered large households in nearby counties.Because of the good "mass foundation" and Han Guang's cautious personality, he was scorched and attacked by Xuzhou Tao Qian and the former Qingzhou governor several times, but he did not hurt his muscles.The Jiang Jun group nicknamed "General" that Qin Xu met in Jinan earlier was one of Han Guang's yellow scarves.

Because there are not many evil deeds, and most of the Yellow Turban forces are homeless refugees, Qin Xu originally planned to persuade Han Guang to start with Han Guang, but he did not expect to take this action before he received it. The news that people led the crowd to commit crimes.It really made Qin Xu feel a little dumbfounded. This is really a mouse that dared to grab food from a cat with a gun on it. Lu Bu didn't spare his hands to trouble him, but instead sent him to the door himself, which made Qin Xu quite surprised.

"Yellow turban bandits are coming, ignoring the majesty of the court, and Lu has decided to punish them! You should stick to your duties, train your soldiers and horses, and prepare to defend against the enemy!" After receiving the news, Lu Bu finally regained a trace of the majesty of his elders in front of Qin Xu. Although he was persuaded by Qin Xu to persuade him to surrender before, it is hard to express the grievance in his heart.This time the Yellow Turban took the initiative to attack, causing Lu Bu, who had held back long enough, to be filled with a strong fighting spirit.Although they are just some rabble, they can quench their thirst anyway.All the generals under Lu Bu's command also called for the battle one by one, fearing that if they were slow to attack, they would lose their meat.

"My lord! Xu thinks this..." Qin Xu originally suspected that someone was manipulating it because he met Jiang Jun's group in Jinan and obtained a batch of excellent military equipment.At this time, seeing that a group of yellow scarf thieves who should have been the last to attack first came to attack first, Qin Xu felt that there was something strange about it, and seeing Lu Bu's fighting spirit, he said hastily.

"Master Qin, let me and other rough people handle the matter of fighting on the battlefield. You can rest assured that I will wait for the good news! My lord, please be the vanguard!" Cheng Lian relied on his relationship with Qin Xu Okay, Qin Xu owed him a favor because of Qu Yi's matter before, before Qin Xu could finish speaking, he interrupted Qin Xu carelessly and said to Lu Bu.

"Well, during this period of time, you should spend more time with Ling'er in the mansion. Didn't you plan to reopen Jixia Academy a few days ago and plan to discuss with Cai Zhonglang? I just got the news that Cai Zhonglang is very interested. I'm just waiting for you to go and listen to the training." Seeing that Cheng Lian interrupted Qin Xu, Lu Bu said with a smile.Lu Bu was really afraid that Qin Xu would still insist on persuading him to surrender. Although it was quite reasonable, when Lu Bu thought about it, he was not willing to surrender the remnants after being subdued, so he sold Qin Xu to Cai Yong very disrespectfully. .

"No!" Seeing that Lu Bu and even Cai Yong moved out to be an ally, Qin Xu had nothing to say.Because of the relationship between Qin Xu and Cai Yan, as Lu Lingqi's father, Lu Bu's enthusiasm for Cai Yan's father, Cai Yong, has declined a lot. After all, it involves the "ranking" of the two daughters, although the two daughters are indifferent. Attitude, but after all, this matter is linked to the issue of face. One is an unparalleled warrior in the world, and the other is a well-known scholar in China. Neither of them is willing to let their daughter be a little girl.Originally, because Cai Yan was married after all, Cai Yong lacked confidence in front of Lu Bu, so he seldom interacted with Lu Bu in recent days. Unexpectedly, because of the Yellow Turban incident, the two old brothers stood on the same front again. superior.

The re-opening of Jixia Academy was Qin Xu's immature idea after hearing Zang Hong's warning, especially after finding out the high-level official from Yuan Shao's forces in Linzi that the judge said.At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were a lot of gentry, and they forcibly copied the sound system of later generations, most of which would cause some ambiguities due to cultural faults and other reasons. Isn’t Wang Mang, the traverser, the result of the chaos caused by forced reforms?There is no way, the filial piety and honesty system for the big Han to select officials has been controlled by the aristocratic family, and the imperial examination system is far from enough because of the lack of popularity of books. The idea was also stranded because of Lu Bu's current influence and prestige.

As a last resort, we can only take one step at a time.Fortunately, there are a lot of orphans among the refugees, so Qin Xu plans to use the resources at hand to select young children for small-scale specialist education in five to ten years, and first create a foundation for a group of low-level administrative officials who are loyal to Lu Bu. , at least to ensure that after five to ten years, the number of officials needed to maintain Lu Bu's growing territory can be produced.

But this kind of thing can't be done by a young man like Qin Xu, because his reputation and qualifications are all troublesome.After obtaining Lu Bu's consent, Qin Xu set his sights on another cheap old man, Cai Yong.With the charisma and reputation of the stubborn old man Cai Yong, maybe he will be able to produce a group of outstanding administrative officials in the future.

But to say a thousand words and ten thousand, these are based on the fact that Lu Bu has stabilized the territory before he can take the stage. At this time, Lu Bu was thrown out in advance by the militant Lu Bu, and the fools could see that this was Lu Bu telling Qin Xu in disguise. , Your father-in-law and I have made up our minds to wipe out the Yellow Turbans. There is no need to discuss it. I have free time to find another old man of yours to play with.

"I heard that the Yellow Turban came to attack Linzi. Are you going to fight with your father again? Can you take your family?" Qin Xu returned to his residence depressed, and happened to meet Lu Lingqi and Cai Yan who came here.Although they haven't officially married yet, with the acquiescence of Lu Bu and Cai Yong, no one said anything nonsense.In particular, no one knows who spread the "anecdotes" about Qin Xu and Mi Zhen, the eldest daughter of the Mi family, when he was in Xuzhou, which made the two women frequent Qin Xu's residence.This time when they heard that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was coming, the two women thought that Qin Xu would definitely follow Lu Bu to the expedition as usual. Lu Lingqi, who had been released by Qin Xu many times, asked mischievously.

"Ling'er is going to be disappointed again this time! My lord has ordered me not to participate in this Linzi defense battle!" This girl, like Lu Bu, is full of violent factors in her blood. What a general excitement.Qin Xu gave Lu Bu's action a very Three Kingdoms name, and smiled slightly apologetically at Lu Lingqi.

"You should restrain yourself a little bit. Last time you went to Xuzhou privately to do great things but were not punished. You have already made some bad remarks in Linzi official circles. Although there are many yellow scarves this time, they are not General Lu at all. Opponent, your health hasn’t recovered yet, so take this opportunity to rest for a while!” Still, Cai Yan has experienced many things, and the depth of seeing the problem is not comparable to that of a girl like Lu Lingqi. Seeing that Qin Xu is not in high spirits, she leans on Qin Xu’s shoulder Said tactfully.

"Those people in Qingzhou officialdom still have bad remarks? It seems that the lord really indulges them too much!" Qin Xu wrapped his hands around the soft waists of the two women, with a hint of contempt on his face, and sneered: "Leave them alone It is not yet known who the master is, so the so-called bad remarks against me are mostly because I did something they wanted to do but dared not do, such as snatching a talented woman back!"

"What are you doing with your hands? Beg to be beaten! Sister Ling'er, you don't care about your husband!" Cai Yan's pretty face was flushed by Qin Xu's teasing joke, and she felt that Qin Xu's hand on her waist was not honest, Hastily organized a united front to resist Qin Xu's harassment.

"Isn't he also your husband?" Lu Lingqi poked her mouth out, thinking that Qin Xu had never done such an exciting thing to her before, she looked at Cai Yan's mature figure, and then saw that she was still a little weaker He turned his head away very disrespectfully.

Not to mention the movements of the generals of the Lu Bu Army in the city, but in the camp of Yellow Turban bandits outside Linzi City, Han Guang, the tall and slightly fat leader, is holding a gift list in his tent, excitedly, his face is a bit narrow and long with fat There was an unconcealable excitement in his small eyes.

This old Zhang is really generous in his generosity to others. There are five thousand sets of armor, two thousand bows and one hundred thousand arrows.This is only half of the first payment, and the follow-up will be sent one after another after the war with Lu Bu.

This deal is so cost-effective that Han Guang would be woken up by laughing when he sleeps; Lu Bu and flying generals all have one head and two hands. Our old Han really doesn't believe that Lu Bu can make a few more heads out of thin air. .At that time, hundreds of thousands of brothers will rush forward, and they will exhaust him to death. Even if Lu Bu is the resurrection of the overlord, he will have to be caught blind.
