Chapter 124: Qin Hua's Scheme

Although Sun Guan and others were born in the Yellow Turban, they admired Zang Ba very much, and after Qin Hua's army drove to the city of Juxian, Zang Ba personally went to persuade him to surrender, and it didn't take much effort to take Juxian.

After Qin Hua annexed the army in Ju County, the military strength around him suddenly reached 50,000.

Therefore, he has more confidence, although the 50,000 troops in Ju County are all rabble except for 3,000 Xuanjia cavalry, but the number is there, even if Cao Cao has any ideas, he has the strength to fight.

After staying in Ju County for two months, the time came to May.

In the past two months, Nighthawk's intelligence has continued to come, Cao Cao's war against LΓΌ Bu has been victorious, and LΓΌ Bu has been besieged in Xuzhou City, and it is expected that this battle will end in the short term.

It was at this time that Qin Hua received Cao Cao's letter again.

It turned out that Cao Cao wanted to invite Qin Hua to witness the defeat of Lu Bu.

"Hey, this Lu Bu is also a generation of heroes, let's go see him for the last time."

Qin Hua sighed and ordered Xu Huang and Zang Ba to lead 50,000 troops to stay in Ju County, and prepare for the march, and once Lu Bu died, the whole army would go to Luoyang.

He himself led three thousand Xuanjia horsemen to see Lu Bu off for the last time.

On the city of Xuzhou, Cao Cao was looking into the distance, and the direction he was looking at was the direction that Qin Hua was about to come.

"Cao Gong is so interested."

A voice sounded behind Cao Cao, and the person who came was Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian.

"Lu Bu, we are just trading this time, and your attack on my Yanzhou is not over yet."

"Haha, why is Cao Gong so stingy."

Just as the two were chatting, a cavalry appeared in the distance, and the whole army was covered in black armor, it was Qin Hua and his Xuanjia cavalry.

Seeing that Qin Hua was about to arrive, Lu Bu walked into the back tower with interest, he couldn't expose it yet, after all, his armor was too conspicuous.

"Xuanhu, hurry into the city, I have prepared a banquet for you."

When Qin Hua came to the city wall, Cao Cao shouted at Qin Hua.

But at this time, Qin Hua had already discovered that something was wrong, this city wall was a bit too clean.

It's not that the walls are clean, but there is no trace of battle on the walls.

Lu Bu's strength is indeed far from Cao Cao's, but it is not so powerless that he has no backhand.

"Mengde, it's getting late today, I'll lead the army to camp outside the city first, and I'll see you in the city tomorrow."

Qin Hua felt as if he had fallen into a trap, but he didn't know what Cao Cao wanted to do. If you just want to take your own life, you can already do it when you are in Tarzan, why bother so much.

"It's okay, it's okay, Xuanhu can lead the army into the city, and I have arranged a place for you."

Three thousand people said a lot less, not too much, Cao Cao said that it was nothing, but Qin Hua found that an army behind him suddenly appeared quietly on his way.

"Mengde, what does this mean?"

Qin Hua didn't want to pretend, so he decided to ask Cao Cao directly.

"What do you mean, it's not to capture you."

Before Cao Cao could speak, a figure suddenly appeared on the side and spoke.

The person who came was slightly shorter than Cao Cao, but the width was twice that of Cao Cao.

With the appearance of this person, two more people appeared beside Cao Cao.

Qin Hua recognized one of them as Lu Bu at a glance, and he recognized one of the other two as Yuan Shao, so this fat person was likely to be Yuan Shu.

"You..."

Qin Hua's face changed greatly, he didn't expect that these four people would calculate themselves together, and immediately turned around and prepared to flee from here.

But now it was too late, the city gate opened, a team of soldiers rushed out, and soldiers on both sides of the city wall continued to come out, plus the army behind him, Qin Hua was completely surrounded.

"Why are you so calculating against me?"

Qin Hua shouted at the top of the city tower, his eyes staring at Cao Cao.

You must know that among these four people, he trusts Cao Cao the most, both of them are Cai Yong's disciples, and they have similar temperaments, although they are not confidants, at least they are friends, otherwise Qin Hua would not agree to help Cao Cao attack Lu Bu.

"Don't worry, we don't want your life, we just need your father to come and ransom you."

Yuan Shu laughed proudly at Qin Hua.

At this time, Qin Hua probably guessed the thoughts of a few people, and shouted at the city wall: "Let me think for a moment." ”

After speaking, Qin Hua said behind him in a low voice: "Beigong Che, Yan Xing, Ma Chao, you wait for a while to break through with all your might, don't worry about me, take as many Xuanjia as you can and ride back." ”

"My lord..."

The three of them shouted in unison.

"I command you as your lord, rest assured, I will not fear for my life. After I went back, I let Jia Xu, Xun You, and Guo Jia take charge of the government and assist my son Qin Tong. ”

"Yes"

After Qin Hua finished speaking, he glanced up at the people on the city wall, and suddenly turned around and led everyone to rush behind him.

"Break through with all your might."

Qin Hua shouted loudly with the meteorite in his hand.

"Kill~~"

The three thousand Xuanjia riders immediately received the order.

"Archers prepare."

Seeing Qin Hua's decision, Yuan Shu immediately ordered.

"No, you can't kill Qin Hua, do you want to face the counterattack of the Liangzhou army?"

Cao Cao stopped Yuan Shu's move, although he also hoped that Yuan Shu would be able to kill Qin Hua, and not only would the Liangzhou army lose Qin Hua as the commander, but also if the Liangzhou army attacked Yuan Shu, it would also be a good thing for Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao didn't dare to take this risk, because he didn't know whether the Liangzhou army would attack Yuan Shu at that time, or choose himself as their first target for revenge, after all, he was also involved in the operation.

"The whole army attacked and captured Qin Hua alive, and the rest didn't care if they lived or died."

With Cao Cao's order, more troops swarmed out, and the defense line that Qin Hua and the others were about to break through became stronger again.

Qin Hua rushed left and right, but found that the enemies around him could not be killed, and the endless enemies made Qin Hua feel powerless for the first time.

This was the first time he had this feeling in the past few years, no matter what kind of enemy he had before, he was sure of victory, but this time Qin Hua knew that he would most likely not be able to escape.

The Xuanjia cavalry was also scattered by the endless enemies, and only a few dozen cavalry guards were left around him.

"Kill, as a Xuanjia Knight, each person can kill at least ten people before they can die."

"No."

The Xuanjia knights beside him immediately received the order, and among them, the centurion Jiang Yu shouted the loudest.

Jiang Yu was the only one of them above the rank of centurion, and he rushed into the crowd with his first soldiers and began to slaughter all directions, followed by the rest of the knights.

Qin Hua naturally didn't rest, he knew that he was more than lucky, and he just wanted to kill enough.

Because Cao Cao did not dare to release the arrow, the battle lasted for half an hour.

At this time, there was no longer a Xuanjia rider by Qin Hua's side, including Jiang Yu, all the Xuanjia knights had already died in battle.

Qin Hua's mount, Kuroko, also collapsed to the ground after receiving multiple wounds, and even so, he was biting the arm of an enemy soldier in his mouth.

On top of a hill made of corpses, Qin Hua's right hand was a meteor, and his left hand was still fighting.

Guarded by special armor and Qin Hua's martial arts, he didn't suffer much damage, but the armor was constantly dripping with blood, which was left by the enemy.

Facing Qin Hua, who was like a fierce beast, the soldiers began to stagnate, they were really afraid of the person in front of them, was this what humans could achieve?

"Yun Chang, Yide, you go and capture Qin Hua."

The soldiers didn't dare not mean that Cao Cao should not arrest Qin Hua, and he ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to fight.

But neither of them moved, they didn't expect Cao Cao to do such a thing, and the people who used to drink and talk about it were now going to attack each other.

In the end, Guan Yu walked out, but he was the only one, and Zhang Fei did not move.

This time, Guan Yu did not scold Zhang Fei, because he also thought that the two of them should not attack Qin Hua together at this time.

Guan Yu, who was holding the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife, got off his mount and walked in front of Qin Hua on foot.

His limbs had begun to stiffen, and his eyes were almost unable to see clearly, Qin Hua, who was almost unable to see clearly, only felt that an enemy was approaching, and he could no longer identify who was coming at this time.

"Oh~~"

The sound of the two weapons colliding sounded, Guan Yu never thought that Qin Hua, who had been fighting fiercely for half an hour, still had such strength, he actually caught the blow of his own hands with one hand, although Guan Yu did not do his best in this attack.

"Huh~"

When Guan Yu was stunned, Qin Hua's Cangming Sword had already flown towards Guan Yu.

Guan Yu, who was in a hurry to dodge, was still cut off by Qin Hua, which made Guan Yu decide not to show mercy to his subordinates.

The two fought for a hundred rounds, and Guan Yu saw that he couldn't win, so he shook his head helplessly and retreated.

"Qin Xuanhu really deserves his reputation, Guan has learned it."

After speaking, Guan Yu took two steps back and turned to leave.

Qin Hua didn't pursue, he didn't have the strength to pursue now, even if he was standing, it seemed as if he had to do his best.

"Lu Fengxian, you go."

Yuan Shao said to Lu Bu, Yuan Shao has always been angry about not killing Lu Bu, because this matter Lu Bu is a stain on his reputation, he is eager to get rid of it, but he can't do it.

So now Yuan Shao is like ordering his subordinates to order Lu Bu, in fact, he just wants to humiliate Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't react for a while, this was Yuan Shao humiliating himself, he just instinctively refused.

"Qin Xuanhu is a defeated general under me, and if I fight again at this time, I won't be able to win."

Turning his head, Lu Bu didn't want to look in the direction of Yuan Shao and Qin Hua anymore.

"Hmph, the matter has come to this, what else do you have to hesitate, this person has already run out of gas, why bother so much."

It was Yuan Shu who spoke, and he said behind him: "Ji Ling, Lei Bo, Chen Lan, you go and capture that Qin Hua." ”

"Yes."

The three of them were ordered to go out of battle and attack Qin Hua together.

Qin Hua, who had already exhausted his strength, supported it for thirty rounds, and finally gave up to the end.

The three of them took the rope handed by the soldier and prepared to tie up Qin Hua.

"Haha, Liangzhou Qin Xuanhu is nothing more than that."

Seeing that Qin Hua was about to be tied up, Yuan Shu stepped forward and wanted to humiliate Qin Hua, but he didn't want Qin Hua to suddenly break free from Chen Lan's control, and punched Yuan Shu in the face.

It's a pity that Qin Hua doesn't have much strength at this time, although he is concentrated, he doesn't cause any major damage, but Yuan Shu, who has always been pampered, feels that it hurts.

"Break his hand for me."

Yuan Shu shouted angrily.

Chen Lan immediately took the order, took a hammer and smashed it down on Qin Hua's right arm that had just swung his fist.

"Hmm~~"

Qin Hua didn't shout, but the severe pain and exhaustion still made him unconscious.

Cao Cao didn't stop it, he knew that Qin Hua's plan for the four families this time would inevitably attract Qin Hua's revenge, and if someone did too much at this time, then Qin Hua should hate that person a little more.

For example, now, once Qin Hua returns to the territory, the first person he wants to take revenge on should be Yuan Shu, not himself.

"Okay, take Qin Hua down, it's time to contact Chang'an."

Cao Cao grabbed Yuan Shu, who was still kicking Qin Hua with his foot, and ordered the guards on both sides.

The reason why Cao Cao designed Qin Hua this time was to covet the wealth of Liangzhou, although it is not a bad thing to solve Qin Hua now, but compared with him, it is more important to obtain grain, grass and money from Liangzhou and other places.

During the previous battle of Yanzhou, there was a big locust plague in Yanzhou, and the harvest in the whole territory last year was not good, and now Cao Cao is facing the problem of insufficient grain and grass.

Yuan Shao and Lu Bu also faced this problem, both of them were short of grain and grass due to years of war, and only Yuan Shu had enough grain and grass.

However, Yuan Shu was very jealous of people who were more talented than himself, so when Cao Cao proposed this plan, he agreed immediately.

Cao Cao and others not only ambushed Qin Hua and his Xuanjia cavalry, but also a coalition army of 150,000 went to Ju County, but this time they did not attack, but only surrounded Ju County.

And with Qin Hua's arrival in Xuzhou City, the Xuanjia Cavalry suffered a devastating blow this time.

Less than 300 of the 3,000 Xuanjia cavalry escaped alive, most of them above the centurion level were killed in battle, the commander Beigong Che was killed in battle, Ma Chao broke two fingers, and Yan Xing was seriously injured.

This is a casualty that has never occurred since the formation of the Xuanjia Cavalry, and it can almost be said that this army has existed in name only.

Fortunately, Ma Chao and others, who gave Qin Hua the most hope, are still alive, as long as they live, there is hope.

Almost at the same time that Qin Hua was captured, Cao Cao's envoy also came to Chang'an.

Jia Xu and Xun You also invited Qin Huang over, and the three of them discussed the content of Cao Cao's letter together.

"Four million stones, grain, and grass, 200,000 coins, 200,000 sheepskins, and 30,000 cattle and sheep. Is this the ransom they are demanding? ”

Qin Huang looked at the contents of the letter with a solemn face, such a huge amount, even if it was raised, it would be greatly damaged.

And the other party also asked for delivery within three months, except for the time on the road, there is only one month to raise.

"Hmph, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the first place, I should have killed that woman directly, otherwise this kind of thing wouldn't have happened."

Jia Xu and Xun You are worried about where to raise such a large amount of money.

Even if Qin Hua was originally going to use it as a reward for infrastructure and the army, it was less than half of it.

"Now is a time of crisis, so let's tax the people."

Qin Huang left directly after dropping a word, he also needed to gather those family heads to raise supplies.
