Cao Cao's move to greet Qin Xu with etiquette despite the silence of the night and the danger of a camp roar was very likely to occur, and his intention was too obvious.

In fact, strictly speaking, Qin Xu's identity is the assassin of Xuzhou and the general of Fenwu, although he has not been knighted, but after all, he is the nominal lord of Xuzhou, and he is enough to be worthy of the courtesy of this prince. But the problem is, not to mention that he Qin and Lao Cao, the "friendship" has not been good enough to this point, just say that although Qingzhou and Yanzhou have the name of allies, the fighting methods in the open and in the dark have never stopped. And Qin Xu came here, and it was very similar to the Qingzhou Lu Bu forces who couldn't hold their breath, or they were worried that he Cao someone would not be able to resist the powerful Jizhou Yuan Shao, and he abandoned the "method of sharing spoils" that he had agreed with Yanzhou before, and also wanted to get a piece of the pie from the chaos of the battle for the Son of Heaven, so Cao Cao's contrived posture can be seen by anyone with a little common sense, Cao Cao's behavior is strange.

Such a warm and high-standard greeting, who will it be shown to before Yuan Shao's pioneer is about to arrive? It is clear that he wants to push the Qingzhou Lu Bu forces represented by Qin Xu in front of everyone as a shield, to kill, to kill Hongguoguo!

Compared with the most ruthless conspiracy, there are actually flaws to be found, but this conspiracy is always unguardable. Even if Qin Xu knew that Cao Cao was courteous and was either a traitor or a thief, Cao Cao just wanted to thank Qin Xu for his "friendship" for sending Cao Ang thousands of miles away, which really made Qin Xu unable to find anything to blame for a while.

"Zhong Ming! If you can come here, Cao will be much more relieved! Cao Cao personally led his generals to the camp gate to greet him, and when he saw Qin Xu, he made a look of enthusiasm. Calling Qin Xu's cousin, it is very intimate, and he is a courtesy to his precious son Cao Ang. Cao Cao only gave up with a faint glance, but he only said to Qin Xu: "It's a shame to say that Tongguan is tenacious, Cao Moukong leads these tens of thousands of troops, in addition to spending a lot of military resources every day, it is still useless, this must be God's pity for Cao's heart." Only then did Zhong Ming come in person, Cao was really overjoyed! ”

"General Cao is tormenting Qin!" Listening to Cao Cao saying good things as if he didn't want money, Qin Xu listened to it in his ears. But it was as if he saw Cao Cao holding a sharpened knife and walking towards him step by step. Seeing that he was standing beside Cao Cao, the generals of Cao's army who had fought for a long time were fruitless, after listening to Cao Cao's seemingly sincere words. The eyes that looked at Qin Xu one by one were full of indignation. I was afraid that I was unconsciously involved in Cao Cao's calculations, and I smiled at the moment and said: "Although Qin is the assassin of Xuzhou, after all, he is young and young, and what he has done here is just to think of his brother and brother with his son, and he can't bear to travel thousands of miles away alone, how can he be worthy of such praise from General Cao, the predecessor of the officialdom?" Besides, this Tongguan is the world's Xiongguan. It is the fierce generals under the command of General Cao, and the soldiers are brave. The method that has been blocked for more than a month and cannot be cracked, General Cao pinned his hopes on Qin, and I am afraid that he will be disappointed after all! ”

"This, ahem, what Cao appreciates most is Qin Envoy's humble temperament, Ang'er can be friends with Qin Envoy, Cao is really fortunate." Cao Cao obviously didn't expect Qin Xu to be able to put down his body, admit himself to his juniors, and gently and skillfully clean up his "offensive", and he was a little embarrassed for a while. Qin Xu has said this thing, if he says some flattering words, I am afraid that the idea of wanting to kill Qin Xu has not been achieved, and it will be difficult to maintain the prestige in the army of the headquarters, and it will be difficult to make a big discount.

"Report! Lord, there is a cavalry unit of unknown origin, under the banner of Yanzi, is rushing towards our army camp from the south direction, it is already less than twenty miles, how to deal with it, please announce it! "There was such a big battle before, if Qin Xu was let go like this, Cao Cao was really unwilling, but Qin Xu said it cleverly, if Cao Cao was entangled in Qin Xu's "unprovoked" arrival, he would fall behind, and he would inevitably have to bear the name of suppressing people with power and bullying the "younger generations". And when Cao Cao was in trouble, Cao Cao, who had not seen Cao Ang for a long time, sent out a horse to return for him, but it happened to relieve Cao Cao.

"Yan? Hmph, it must be Yan Liang, the cavalry pioneer under Yuan Benchu. This and another famous general in Hebei, Wen Chou, are all original treasures, when the tiger was imprisoned, he saw that Huaxiong...... Ahem, afraid of the courage of Wen Hou, he only deduced that these two people were sent to the city to urge food before it arrived, lest there be half a point of damage. Unexpectedly, this time it was a rare generosity. Cao Cao didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he glanced at Qin Xu, who was "talking to each other" with Cao Ang, and Qin Xu, who didn't seem to hear what he was talking at all, said to the generals gathered at the gate of the barracks: "Although he was a friend of Cao Mou at the beginning, this Yan Liang is difficult to guess, and 10,000 cavalry is not a small number. ”

"Brother Zhongming, is this your ploy again? Before, I saw that this Yan Liang cavalry came to Tongguan one step ahead of me, why was it a little later than I waited for this group of half-riding and half-walking? But what is the reason? The honest boy Cao Ang looked like he was asking for advice, and asked Qin Xu to say.

"I guess you don't know the way, right?" Qin Xu was thinking about how to operate so that Qingzhou could maximize the benefits of Cao Cao's trip, which had already become vigilant, and he didn't listen to Cao Ang's question very clearly, so he subconsciously replied. didn't know that this unintentional remark happened to tell the "truth" of the matter.

"General, the front is where the Cao army camp is located, you look at the banner of the camp and the antlers of the horse rejection, this time it is absolutely wrong!" Yan Liang rode on a horse, staring at the sneering subordinates with an extremely ugly face. This time, in order to find out the cavalry of the Cao army, which Yan Liang thought wanted to ambush his 10,000 cavalry halfway, it can be regarded as a long detour.

Originally, before leaving, Yan Liang received a secret letter from Yuan Shao, which reaffirmed the friendship of Jizhou and Yanzhou's "alliance" in very harsh terms, and repeatedly ordered and reaffirmed Yan Liang's "warning" that at the critical juncture of rescuing the Son of Heaven, especially Qingzhou's envoy plan to "get out" of Yuan Shao's entanglement, did not mix into this troubled water, he said that he could no longer be caught, and the people of the world who were empty laughed at it would not say anything, and Cao Cao would benefit from it in vain. But that being said, that being said. But Yan Liang, who is Yuan Shao's confidant, still saw what Yuan Shao wanted from the letter, and he always wanted to be that. I want to set up the Yuan style of the archway.

Therefore, Yan Liang "decided" that Cao Ang's mount, which was driven away by Qin Xu's Xu Xu and other Cao army guards, but came back, was what Yuan Shao wanted but couldn't get, and it must have been used by Cao Cao as a war horse to ambush himself and others halfway. How could it not make Yan Liang, who knew Yuan Shao's thoughts well, ecstatic? Simply Lantian didn't bother to bulldoze the dilapidated dead city, and promised his subordinates a good rest, what could be better than grabbing the handle of the slippery old Cao. To provide enough excuses for oneself to take the opportunity to exterminate Cao Cao's forces, such a thing as killing two birds with one stone, is more important?

I don't know whether to say that Yan Liang backfired, or that Qin Xu and his party had a big life. Even if Yan Liang wanted to break his head, he probably wouldn't have expected that just when he was proud of the so-called excuse he was about to obtain, Lu Bu's son-in-law Qin Xu and Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang. In fact, he was less than ten meters away from him at the time. And because the time is too tight, Xu Huang and his party drove the horses not far, but the direction is different, if you can wait a little longer, maybe more and more horses will come back to the rider's side, plus Qin Xu's peeping, the whereabouts have been leaked, and Yan Liang will definitely have a "big harvest". If only these two people were in hand. The benefits that Yuan Shao can get will be much easier than pursuing a simple excuse to turn his face! It doesn't have to be the same as it seems. I had to grit my teeth and put down my body, deliberately hiding the intention that was not a secret, to make peace with Cao Cao.

"General Cao! A certain is under the command of Yuan Gong of Jizhou, and the left guard Yan Liang! On the order of the lord, come to help General Cao's righteous move! "Yan Liang has always been known as a wise general in Yuan Shaojun, as the first military general in Hebei, this official speech is also very smooth. Seeing that Cao Jun was coming because of his 10,000 people, the soldiers' spears were erect, densely packed, the bows and crossbows were wound, and the arrows were all aimed at themselves, and the south of the camp was full of military objects used to defend against cavalry, such as horse and deer antlers, and they were fully prepared to deal with the impact of cavalry, even if it was Yan Liang's 10,000 cavalry, if they really wanted to attack this camp, they couldn't say anything.

"The chief general under Ben Chu's command, General Yan Liang? Cao has heard about it for a long time! General Yan came to Cao's military camp in the middle of the night, with more than 10,000 cavalry to help Cao Mouxing's righteous deeds, didn't he know that Cao was trapped under Tongguan and couldn't advance an inch for a long time, so there was a general who dared to come in the starry night to help Cao attack the city and break through? Because Yan Liang's army was in a hurry, Cao Cao's painstaking arrangement of the "welcome ceremony" for Qin Xu had to end hastily, which made Lao Cao's mood very bad.

"This, if General Cao needs our army's 'help', it will definitely be incumbent upon Yan to become the lord!" Yan Liang never thought that Cao Cao would not wait for a greeting as soon as he came up, and even before Yan Liang got off the horse, he explained the "requirements" so bluntly, and it was still so outrageous! Yan Liang's nose was about to be crooked. Cavalry, cavalry understand? In the era of cold weapons, on the plains, the two armies fought in the field, and the cavalry was naturally the king of war, there is no doubt about this, but if you take this advantage and use the most difficult cavalry of all arms to train into an elite as an infantry call, and it is also a siege, then what is it called elite, it is called cannon fodder!

"Then Cao thanked General Yan and Ben Chu. However, General Yan came very coincidentally, Cao had just seen a young talent before, but he didn't expect to see the general at this moment, the first general in Hebei, the so-called heroes cherish heroes, now that the moon is in the middle, it is better for Cao to set up a banquet in the Chinese army to wash the dust, how about introducing the two of you? Yan Liang didn't look like a fool no matter how he looked at it, and Cao Cao didn't expect Yan Liang to agree, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he really looked very grateful to Yan Liang for coming, and suddenly said.

"Lao Cao, Lao Cao, your intentions are also hateful!" Qin Xu knew Cao Cao's intentions when he heard what Cao Cao said and just half said, and pouted secretly.

"Oh? But I don't know which hero it is? Qin Xu was still slandering at this time, but he didn't expect Yan Liang to be really interested, it seemed that he was very interested in someone who admired Cao Cao so much and was on a par with himself in his words, and asked.

"Xuzhou Qin Xu ......" Cao Cao's voice did not fall, but Yan Liang's face showed a little surprise, but there was a touch of contempt at the corner of his mouth, but he was undisguised! (To be continued......)
