Yuan Xi showed enough "sincerity" to make it a little difficult for Lu Bu to hold himself. Soldier talismans are sometimes not only a token of troop transfer, but also another disguised and more decent surrender.

The practice of the Han military is to recognize the character but not the person. Handing over the talisman is equivalent to dragging out all the lives of the wealth, and this kind of courage is not done by everyone.

Just look at Lu Bu now changed his previous appearance of ignoring answers, but personally dismounted and supported Yuan Xi who was kneeling in front of him, with the intimate appearance of the elders cherishing the younger generations, it is really hard to imagine that Lu Bu still had the same expression of not entering Yuan Xi a few breaths ago, just for the sake of these two bronze things.

However, Qin Xu was not too excited. The key to the fame of the story of Guo Jia's plan to determine Liaodong is that in history, when Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were able to let go of their bodies and seek the protection of the Gongsun clan to get rid of the disaster, they were very respectful on the surface, but in fact, they were under the idea of replacing them, and they were finally beheaded to sacrifice Cao Cao.

Although the situation and characters have changed too much now, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang estimate that they will not have the opportunity to intersect with the Gongsun family again in this life, but the current situation is strikingly similar to the situation in history.

The same Yuan family's power fell into a trough and fell apart, and the same two brothers were forced to put down the figure of the nobles of the family and make peace, the difference is only that the protagonist was replaced by the Gongsun family to Lu Bu, and the persecuted people were replaced by Cao's boss and his family to Cao, Liu, Lu, the black mountain thieves and the old Yuan family's official eldest son Yuan Tan "joined forces". God knows that he is now meek, and even coldly treats Yuan Xi, the two Jizhou generals who are full of dissatisfaction, Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw. After stabilizing in the future, will it be the same as it was in the past, with the intention of becoming self-reliant?

It's not impossible! The center of gravity of Lu Bu's army. It is destined to be the north with Cao Cao's goal, and the two tigers will inevitably have an injured ending, whether it is Lu Bu or Cao Cao, the discerning people in the two forces can see it. The acquisition of Jizhou is already the limit of Cao Cao's endurance, if there is any more action, or if the movement is too big to arouse Cao Cao's vigilance, then the two families will definitely face the situation of endless conquest that the other forces of the Han Dynasty want to see the most. Therefore. Before the Jiangdong was pacified, it was impossible and would never allow the army to start a war with Cao Cao, who had the Son of Heaven in hand, prematurely. However, looking at Lu Bu's appearance of being praised by Yuan Xi with a smile on his eyebrows, Qin Xu had a bad premonition in his heart.

Lu Bu's temper. It often feels violent to outsiders! It's impersonal! But as Lu Bu's son-in-law, especially after getting along with Lu Bu for two years, Qin Xu knew that this was just an illusion given by Lu Bu's irritable temperament. From Lu Bu, he was eaten to death by Qin Xu's three mothers-in-law at home. It is enough to see. Boss Lu is actually just a slightly temperamental person. The anger comes and goes quickly, but he has a big temper but does not hold grudges, and the most important point is that Boss Lu's ears are too soft. It's not that he doesn't have much assertiveness like Yuan Shao, but it's that he trusts people too easily. This is actually an advantage, and of course, the biggest disadvantage. In history, Lu Bu did not have a big temper, and he would not have forced the "reverse Lu trio" to surrender to Cao Cao, but if he did not trust others. With Lu Bu's outstretched hand, he regarded it as a Fang Tian painting halberd and a red rabbit horse of life. How could it be easily stolen and taken away, and finally ended up with a fateful white gatehouse.

At this moment, seeing Lu Bu's satisfied look after seeing the "sincerity" of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's brothers, needless to say, Yuan Xi's simple move to break the kettle gave Lu Bu a very good and profound impression. Even with a somewhat rude glaring at Wen Chou's open jaw, he was subconsciously ignored by the irascible Lu Bu.

"Lord!" Seeing that under Yuan Xi's repeated thoughts, Lu Bu finally agreed to "review" the Jizhou army on his behalf, as the direct holder of Jizhou's military power, Wen Chou, even though his face changed and he just wanted to speak, he was unexpectedly grabbed by the open jaw next to him, and said a few words to Wen Chou, so he reluctantly didn't let Yuan Xi talk about Wen Chou in order to please Lu Bu. But it was Qin Xu, who had been watching Yuan Xi and the Yecheng soldiers coldly, to see the expressions of the generals one by one.

Yuan Xi's sudden child's playful decision will be tantamount to a major earthquake for Jizhou. To be honest, Jizhou, which was once the base camp of the Yuan family, sometimes it is not just Yuan Xi who makes a decision to determine its ownership. Not to mention the reaction of the gentry in Yecheng, just under the mobilization of Wen Chou, it is impossible for the Jizhou soldiers who planned to defend Yecheng to the death just because the soldiers returned to Lu Bu and surrendered 100% to them.

The Yuan brothers are so calculating! Qin Xu's brows couldn't help frowning. Although on the surface, Yuan Xi has made enough hints to entrust Jizhou to Lu Bu's hands. But that's just a hint. Yuan Xi may overturn his previous "promise" at any time and anywhere, and characterize Lü Bu as an aggressor to arouse the disgust of the people of Yecheng who have their hearts towards Yuan. And as Lu Bu, after accepting Yuan Xi's "kindness", but also took on the heavy responsibility of protecting the safety of Yecheng, although in the final analysis, Lu Bu may still be the biggest winner in the end, but if the scale of this is not well grasped, it is very likely that the best ending is just a Jizhou where the people's hearts are lost, and if the relationship with the local scholar clan is not handled well, then the worst outcome is that with a single Jizhou, it is enough to compete for the capital of the two states of Qingxu and Xu in the past two years, all dragged down.

This is not alarmist. Jizhou has a vast territory, bordering the big river in the south, Taihang in the north, the sea in the east, and Xiongguan in the west. Moreover, Jizhou is different from the Qingxu Prefecture, and even the area is the sum of the Qingxu Prefecture, if you want to stabilize Jizhou in a short period of time, unless you completely retain the officials of the Yuan family before you, if you only rely on the students who graduated from the Qingzhou Jixia School Palace and are watching the politics like the previous ones, if you only rely on the students who graduated from the Qingzhou Jixia School Palace and are watching the government, in the face of the local forces that are already hostile to the Lu Bu forces that have no effort at all, they will not be able to achieve overall stability without five or six years of hard work. Moreover, if Cao Cao successfully won the annexation of the state, Jizhou would face the encirclement of Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan, although he still had an ally with Cao Cao to mediate from it. Relative peace was maintained, but if Cao Cao recuperated and recuperated, Cao Cao, who was dissatisfied, would definitely choose a breakthrough between advancing west to Yongliang and fighting for Youzhou on his back. Compared to the barren and desolate land. Youzhou, which is relatively wealthy, will inevitably become Cao Cao's next target. It is conceivable that Cao Cao, who has been plotting against Hebei for a long time, and even laid down the chess piece of the Black Mountain Thief as early as ten years ago, promised Jizhou to Lu Bujun as a last resort, which was an expedient measure, if he came to his senses. God knows if he will let Lu Bu's forces run Jizhou in peace.

Moreover, Liu Beijun, who was plotting for the defeat of Jizhou, and the Black Mountain thieves would definitely not want to almost eat the fat in their mouths. was so happily picked up by Lu Bujun that he could get it cheap, and he would inevitably make some moves, and at this moment in Jizhou, it seemed that Lu Bujun had won. But actually. But he also trapped himself. Qin Xu had the intention to dissuade Lu Bu, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly found that Lu Bu turned his head to look at him, and the calmness in his eyes did not match the ecstasy on his face at all. The words that brought Qin Xu to his lips were swallowed again.

Whether in history or in reality, although Lu Bu has always given people the impression of being stupid and rude, as Qin Xu, who has been by Lu Bu's side for three years. Don't dare to underestimate your own father-in-law. The master who can make heroes like Cao Cao suffer a lot of losses several times one after another, if he is just simple-minded and has developed limbs. I don't know how many times I'm going to die for a long time. Where else can so much great things be done? Qin Xu didn't think that in his previous life, he was just a middle-level cadre in a small company, and he could compare with Lu Bu, who had a reputation as a young man in history, although he had left a reputation for being a young man in history. Besides, even if this is really just a trap to invite you into the urn, don't we still have Jia Xu. With a great god like Jia Xu here, Qin Xu really couldn't think of anything else that could stump this old poison. It just so happened that it was time to let this doorman, who had just officially served himself for more than half a year, do some work, and the province always raised an uncle in the house, peace of mind is peace of mind, but he also wasted Jia Xu's ability to penetrate the world. I really don't believe that Jia Xu, who can stir up a mess of the entire Han Dynasty, can't deal with this Jizhou place.

With this thought, Qin Xu also stabilized his mind, and instructed the generals who led Zhang Liao to each bring a sentry to the plain to bring soldiers and horses, while appeasing Lu Lingqi, who was not very happy about the war, while watching Yuan Xi lead the way in front of his head, and together with Yuan Shang, the leading party who brought his own dry food, opened the gate of Yecheng to welcome Lu Bu's army into the city to inspect the military parade and "guide the work".

It is said that a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, and the same is true for a big family. Although Yuan Shao died violently, it was almost a devastating blow to the Yuan family's forces, and because of the frequent wars in Hebei, delayed or even ruined the collection of grain and grass this season, even if Yecheng was not disturbed by this soldier, the price of grain in the city was already a thousand dollars. But even so, on top of the reception banquet prepared by Yuan Xi for Lu Bu, it was still full of exquisite delicacies that someone Qin had never seen before. Let Qin, who has always thought that this ingredient at the end of the Han Dynasty is just boiled millet in white water, and just add salt and minced meat, even if it is a delicious meat soup, it is really an eye-opener.

Yuan Xi is also "well-behaved". Not only did he push Lu Bu directly to the main position without saying a word, and sat with Yuan Shang and his brothers as juniors, but he did his best, and the two generals of Wen Chou opened their jaws, but at this time, they didn't know what Yuan Xi said to them, although they still looked reluctant, but they didn't have a-for-tat confrontation like during the day.

The weird and peaceful night banquet did not appear to throw the cup as a sign and then kill the knife and axe, or the bloody scene of Xiang Zhuang's sword dance in Peigong, although neither Yuan Xi's side nor Lu Bu's side trusted each other too much, and some words were only ambiguous and stopped at the beginning. Yuan Xi had experienced some life and death, so he had nothing to ask for at the moment, and Lu Bujun easily went down Yecheng without a blade after all, so it is difficult to say that it is victory or defeat. Although the way to finally obtain Yecheng was the last thing Qin Xu expected, he was led by the nose by the Yuan brothers, and the ratio of Yecheng's troops was still a situation in which Lu Bujun and Yuan Xi's ugly Jizhou soldiers and halberd warriors were fighting against each other, but compared to Cao Cao's army, which was attacking and annexing the state, Lu Bu's army was undoubtedly ahead of the curve.

The current situation in Hebei, after the battle of the plains, not only did Liu Beijun, who had always wanted to provoke Lu Bu's army, see what the real elite soldiers in the world were, but even Zhang Fei, who was known as the enemy of 10,000 people, was also arrested and placed under house arrest by Lu Lingqi with strange recruits, and the prestige of Lu Bu's army disappeared after the deeds of Lu Bu's fight against the Huns disappeared. sounded again on the land of Hebei, Yuan Xi's softness can only be regarded as an addition, even if there is no "sincerity" of Jizhou. In fact, the strategic goal reached by Qin Xu and Lu Bu about deterring Hebei has also been achieved.

"My lord! General Qin! Miss, Linzi 600 miles urgently diverted to the plain and sent a letter! "Yuan Xi's night banquet was richly arranged, and although the atmosphere between the two generals was strange, they also agreed on the so-called mutual defense treaty. Yuan Xi planned to ask Lü Bu to move to the southwest of the city, responsible for resisting Cao Cao's forces, who were likely to take advantage of the Jizhou Rebellion, and the most critical issue of the ownership of Yuan Xi's forces. I also hope to make a decision after completely solving the tigers and wolves around Jizhou. Originally, when Yuan Xi said this, he was very careful to pay attention to Lu Bu's expression, but unexpectedly. This played into Lu Bu's hands. Cao Cao and Qin Xu's secret agreement with Lu Bu knew about it before, and Lu Bu also believed that Cao Cao would not easily send troops to Jizhou before he succeeded in annexing the state. Although Boss Cao's character has always been bad, and his reputation has always been very problematic, it is not that he has no similar convictions before. But the choice relative to the interests. Lu Bu still chooses to believe that Lao Cao will keep his promise this time, if something really happens, how could Boss Lu ever be afraid of who will come? Therefore, for Yuan Xi's arrangement, Lu Bu was also happy to be idle, and he could take the opportunity to follow the example of Xiapi back then, and start the two city defenses in the west and south of the city, waiting for the opportunity to move. You can also take advantage of the fact that if the Black Mountain thief or Liu Beijun who has already torn their faces rests and recuperates their troops, they can also take the opportunity to consume Yecheng's troops. Such a good thing, there is nowhere to find it with a lantern, and it is hell to raise objections. For this, although Qin Xu felt more and more uneasy in his heart, he really didn't want to believe that Yuan Xi, who had taken revenge on the Gongsun clan of Liaoxi in history, would be such a "kind" person, but he really couldn't find Yuan Xi's mistake for a while, so he could only plan and hope that Jia Xu would come two days later and rely on his superb wisdom to solve the situation. But when Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi helped the "drunk" Lu Bu back to the room, Hao Zhao, who was supposed to protect Qin Xu's family in Linzi, appeared in front of Qin Xu with a tired face, holding a bamboo letter sealed with fire paint in his hand, and sent it to Lu Bu, who was "drunk" in an instant.

"Bodao, what's wrong?" Lu Bu poured out the silk silk book, and after just one glance, his face suddenly sank, and he groaned with it, Qin Xu was not good at this time to take the letter that Lu Bu held tightly in his hand, and turned his head to ask Hao Zhao. Obviously, Hao Zhao came forward to send the letter, which must have been Cai Yan's idea, that is to say, this matter is very likely to be related to Qin Xu, and the matter is definitely not small. Just looking at Lu Bu's current state is enough to confirm Qin Xu's guess.

"Second brother, Danyang soldiers are reversed! Guangling County, Xuzhou was coerced by Danyang soldiers wrapped in Cao Bao Cao General and Yangzhou Danyang County Yan Baihu forces should be attacked by the outside of the alliance, Guangling Taishou Chen Deng did not know the life and death, Xiapi, Langya two counties were in an emergency, thanks to Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, the two gentlemen dealt with it properly, so that the thieves did not seize the newly harvested grain to fill the thief's capital. And Wu County Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao Army Division originally wanted to transfer General Tai Shi Ci to the north to quell the rebellion, but unexpectedly Yuzhang Taishou Sun Ce took the opportunity to raid Huiji County, and the thieves of Guangling County also took advantage of the situation to fight back. Guo Junshi and Yangzhou Mu Liu Miao sent people to 600 miles to rush to Linzi to report the emergency, saying that with the troops at hand, and Wu County, Huiji County two counties to store grain, but also can only hold on to January, January reinforcements do not arrive, Yangzhou is in danger! Qingzhou Sima Zanghong, Xuzhou don't drive Zhang Zhao did not dare to be good at it, Yan's sister-in-law instructed the last general to change horses and not people, and came to report to the lord and General Qin to decide. ”

The worst fears have finally happened. Originally, when he was involved in the matter of whether to enter Hebei, Qin Xu was worried that Sun Ce, who was intimidated by his own arrogance, would never be too stable in Yuzhang County under the surge of a cadre of Sun's old generals, especially after taking over a small part of Yuan Shu's remnants, but he didn't expect that Yan's father and son, who had been fighting with Sun's endless death in history, would also get involved, and according to the emergency letter, Yan's father and son's approach also seemed to have the shadow of Sun's support behind it. The so-called snake does not die but suffers from it, presumably so. At the beginning, for the sake of Yangzhou's stability, he didn't want to use the sword too much to hurt the vitality of the Han Dynasty, but he just put Sun Ce on the side of Liu Biao, who had a grudge against him to kill his father, but he didn't expect that in the end it was still a tiger relic, Sun Ce not only targeted Jingzhou, but took advantage of the time when the main force of Lu Bu's army went north, entangled the Yan family and Yuan Shu's remnants, and raised a storm in Jiangdong. If it weren't for the ambiguity between Guo Jia and Liu Xuan, Qin Xu kept Guo Jia in Yangzhou with a bad taste, and Yangzhou would have been turned upside down by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's actions at this moment.

"Lord, Yangzhou is urgent, not to be underestimated, if it is not handled well, our army's control of Jiangdong will be greatly reduced, even if you want to attack Yangzhou again in the future, it will be half the effort, the gains outweigh the losses, Xu please go to the town, and please ask the lord to agree!" Looking at Lu Bu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Qin Xu also knew that Lu Bu must be worried about the situation in Jiangdong at this moment, but now that Jizhou is newly attached, the military, the people's hearts and even Yecheng are martial arts, and their minds are difficult to decide, and there is no intention to be effective in a short period of time, in addition, the Zhen family, who was originally cooperating with Lu Bujun, is now in the hands of Liu Bei, and Lu Bujun also needs to make a gesture to give an "explanation" to the local forces in Hebei who are watching, and Lu Bu and Qin Xu, who are the masters of the army and the initiators of this matter, There must be someone left to preside over the overall situation, and the main force must not be moved lightly. Who will go to Jiangdong to clean up the mess has become a key question. If Lu Bu goes in person, it can certainly play a deterrent role, but if such a thing happens, if Lu Bu also "panics", it will be a fatal blow to Lu Bu's prestige, which will directly affect the stability of Yangzhou and even Xuzhou in the future. Therefore, Qin Xu, as the assassin of Xuzhou and the main "person in charge" of Lu Bujun's Jiangdong strategy, is really the best candidate. It's just that Yecheng is thousands of miles away from Wu County, although Qin Xu has been trained by Lu Lingqi for nearly three years, he is only stronger than ordinary people, and waiting for a bandit to take Qin Xu's life is enough. This is also the reason why Lu Bu hesitated and said it in front of Lu Lingqi. Qin Xu naturally saw Lu Bu's concerns, and he also knew Lu Bu's worries, but this matter was really unreasonable, and now the general framework of Hebei affairs has been formed, according to Lu Bu's temper, since he is sitting on the main seat of the Yecheng Prefecture Pastoral Mansion Hall, it is even more difficult to get him to give up his seat. Although Cao Cao's character is extremely untrustworthy, he will not use troops against Jizhou until he has annexed the state and sorted out it smoothly. As for the defeated general of Liu Bei's forces in Youzhou, there are 20,000 elite soldiers and 8,000 halberd soldiers under Yuan Xi's command and Zhang Jaw as cannon fodder, with Lu Bu as the backing, plus Jia Xu's wisdom, it must not be much of a trend in a short period of time, what to worry about is the Zhen family who is still in his hands, fortunately, with Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's righteous brother, in hand, I believe that with Jia Xu's means, it should not make Liu Bei too good, and as for the Black Mountain thieves, they have been frightened by Lu Bu, and if they don't go to their trouble, it is estimated that Zhang Yan will have to burn high incense. Don't worry too much. It was also based on this consideration that Qin Xu proposed to Lu Bu the plan to make a halfway detour to Jiangdong.

For his baby son-in-law's initiative, Lu Bu naturally did not agree, and originally wanted Lu Lingqi to go with Qin Xu, but Qin Xu was entangled in this matter, and the safety of Cai Yan and other women still needed to be taken care of, so he only promised Lu Lingqi to return to Linzi to sit in Linzi as the eldest lady, Lu Bu agreed to Qin Xu's request after thinking for a long time, and Lu Lingqi complained all the time, and inevitably laughed and scolded a few elbows outward, not to blame his husband, but to blame his father. Considering that the journey to Wu County is far away, and it is inconvenient for there to be many people, anyway, the Qingzhou soldiers in Xiapi and Wu County are the only ones who obey Qin Xu's orders, and they don't have to worry about the problem of troops. and did not let the first camp accompany him. It's just that fifty Xiandeng veterans were sent as Qin Xu's guards, plus the three people who were familiar with Qin Xu's trapped camp, Du Bo Xu Shang, Sima Mao, and Kong Bin, together with Lu Bu's new pro-guard battalion commander Dian Wei, accompanied by these people, presumably even if Qin Xu's pacification of Jiangdong failed, he would definitely not lose his life.

But neither Lu Bu, Qin Xu nor even Lu Lingqi thought that Qin Xu's trip to Jiangdong would have a trace of irreversible variables in the future direction of Lu Bu's army and the fate of the entire Han Dynasty. As for whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is everyone who understands it...... (To be continued......)
