People who want to make big things happen, they must be able to take it, put it down, work their brains, and pretend to be grandchildren, the key is to be ruthless enough to themselves. It can be seen that the success of Jiangdong giant Yan Baihu sweeping half of Yangzhou was not just by luck.

After taking advantage of the situation to seize the Danyang County where Yuan Shu was based, in order to stabilize the unimaginable Danyang County that was already impoverished, and not to repeat the mistake of dropping the chain at the critical moment that Yuan Shu encountered, Yan Baihu once promised to release the Danyang County soldiers who were captured by Yuan Shu to form an army. This promise did allow the Yan family, who was originally a thief in Jiangdong, to quickly gain a firm foothold after taking advantage of the situation to rebel against Yuan Shu and occupy Liyang City, the seat of Danyang County, with the acquiescence of Lu Bujun out of consideration for containing Sun and Liu Xuan.

But the troops in these years are really not easy to recruit. Especially on this three-foot-high territory that has been looted by Yuan Shu, let alone levying taxes and fees to raise soldiers for self-respect. Even the veterans under his command who had been following the Yan family and his son from Huiji County were about to be rationed by the three reductions in January, and the tortured deserters were frequent.

In the east of Danyang County, there is Liu Xuan's forces with soldiers stationed by Lu Bujun to cooperate in the defense, and Yan Baihu does not dare to compete with them! There is Yuzhang County in the south, Taishou Sun Ce, who is a famous Jiangdong overlord, and he has fallen to such a point, and it has a great relationship with this guy, and the Yan family has long been afraid of the soldiers, let alone competing with them. Liu Miao said that although he had a close relationship with Lu Bujun, after all, he was the Yangzhou pastor of the Han Dynasty, and even if he wanted to use the power of Lu Bujun, he would definitely not be too close to Lu Bujun. Therefore, although the strength is far superior to Yan Baihu, the threat is not too great.

But the Jiangdong Sun clan is different. Sun Ce was young and promising. And he is quite skillful, and with the assistance of a group of talents, he is very popular with the people. At the beginning, it was just because Qin Xu was powerful. With the power of the great victory, he had to hold back and recuperate in Yuzhang County, the southernmost part of the Han Dynasty, with Sun's ability, everyone could think that this Sun Ce would never be trapped in southern Xinjiang for such a long time, and would inevitably look for an opportunity to make a move. And if Sun Shiguo has a move, the first thing to deal with is in Yan Baihu's opinion. It will definitely not be the Liu Xuan forces that actually control Wu County and Huiji County and cooperate with Lu Bujun's friendly defense, and Liu Biao's forces in Jingnan are huge. Almost controlling the Tiannan side, with Sun Ce's current strength, he would never be sent to death so easily. Then, the unlucky ones that Sun Ce can choose to bear the brunt. Except for him, it's like a lock. It is located on top of Yuzhang County, cutting off the passage from Yuzhang County to the riverside, and it is also a defensive shield in front of Liu Xuan's forces, forcing Sun Ce to fight hard with Yan Baihu, the cannon fodder of Danyang County, a sworn enemy in Jingzhou.

In this troubled world, Yan Baihu has long recognized a truth. Only having soldiers in hand is the foundation of survival. The people's hearts and things are too vain and distant. Therefore, Yan Baihu quickly changed his face and decided to break his word and gain weight. But after all, I am in Danyang. The rabbit still doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, and Yan Baihu also pointed to the people of Danyang, who were already poor and miserable, to pay taxes and pay food. At worst, you can build a city wall or ram a fortification in wartime, and it's not easy to make it too stiff. Otherwise, let alone leaving these Danyang soldiers, it would already be a good thing to burn high incense if they don't have a nest. Therefore, Yan Baihu also seemed to persuade him first, and after no result, he repeatedly postponed the promised release time. If it weren't for the headache, what excuse would be used to gradually encroach on this county soldier, who was mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, but still had the inherent toughness and fearless quality of the Danyang soldiers, he suddenly received a "goodwill" from Yuzhang County, saying that the main force of Lu Bu's army was now trapped in the war in Hebei and had no time to look south, and it was an excellent time to "join forces" to include Jiangdong in the bag. If they can successfully exterminate Liu Xuan's forces, the two sides can divide Jiangdong to control it, if not, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Of course, Yan Baihu knows the truth of drinking to quench his thirst. I also know that the consequences of seeking skin with a tiger will eventually be devoured by a tiger. But Yan Baihu had no other choice. In itself, in order to balance, Lu Bujun had a chance to breathe for Yan's father and son, Yan Baihu did not dare to take the news that Lu Bujun would be trapped in Hebei, and gambled with the lives of his father and son.

But Yan Baihu didn't have a choice. In contrast, Lu Bu, who was thousands of miles away, couldn't quench his thirst, and even if Yan Baihu had enough time to contact, Lu Bu might not be willing to believe his words as a little thief, and it was impossible for him to hesitate because of the life and death of a small chess piece. But if he didn't do what the Sun family said, Yan Baihu would have enough reason to believe that maybe it would take a little effort for Liu Xuan, who had the shadow of Lu Bujun's shadow behind him, and the little overlord of Yuzhang County, but if he went north directly from Yuzhang County, marched to Danyang, and exterminated his Yan father and son, it would be a no-brainer for Sun Ce. What's more, the Sun family also told Yan Baihu that the Danyang soldiers of Xuzhou had rebelled against the rumors of the Danyang military disaster, and they were attacking Guangling County under the leadership of Tao Gan, the Tao clan, preparing to open up the way back from Guangling to Danyang through Wu County.

This time, Yan Baihu has no tricks. Liu Xuan, Sun Ce, and even the 30,000 Danyang rebels are all uncles for Yan Baihu! No one is easy to provoke. And in the case of this long-term concern and near-term worry, Yan Baihu only has one choice for the latter. Fortunately, the Sun family did not embarrass Yan Baihu too much, as if he also knew the situation in Danyang County, even if he had the ability to send troops to attack Xiao Pass, in addition to adding some trouble to Liu Xuan, there would be no substantial gains at all. Therefore, in addition to the thousands of stone military rations sent by the sincere expression, he also found an "ally" with strong combat power for Yan's actions to help break through the Xiao Pass, that is, the left of Yuzhang County, the 5,000 Shanyue barbarians who once ravaged the corner of Jiangdong.

It is the old man and the horse that are slippery, and the rabbit is old and the eagle is difficult to take. Yan Baihu was forced to be helpless, or he was also a little cautious, and he hoped to preserve his strength in the battle between the Sun clan and Lu Bu. In the battle of attacking Xiaoguan, even if the Shanyue barbarians ridiculed and ridiculed the incompetence of the Yan generals, and made Yan Yu's anger rush to the crown, Yan Baihu also maintained considerable restraint, and even did not hesitate to show weakness, so that the Shanyue barbarians were in the limelight in the war, and put the "unraised" Danyang soldiers at the forefront. Everything is done in order to preserve their strength to the greatest extent and to respond to emergencies. However, Yan Baihu's plan is cunning. But luck was a bit worse. I never expected that Qin Xu, the assassin of Xuzhou, who was trapped in the forces of Cao Cao, the Yuan brothers, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei in Hebei, would appear on the battlefield in Jiangdong thousands of miles away so quickly. Moreover, the legendary Xuzhou Danyang soldiers who rebelled against Lu Bu's army also appeared in Qin Xu's battle sequence, and their morale was so high. The neatness of the soldiers' hearts is simply stunning. This change was in addition to making Yan Baihu cry out in his heart that Sun's intelligence system was cheating. I can't help but have a different kind of weighing mind.

No matter how tempting the grand plan and hegemony sound, it is not as important as one's own life. Besides, even if the Sun family succeeded in this Jiangdong matter, it could be that Sun Ce, the once number one strong enemy who almost made him homeless, could not be Sun Ce. It will really be as agreed before. Do you want to divide half of Jiangdong to yourself? In contrast, Yan Baihu was more willing to believe in the rumored Lu Bujun, who never killed prisoners. Although Lu Bu's reputation was not very reliable a few years ago.

"Qin Envoy Jun! The villain Yan Baihu has seen Qin Envoy Jun! Yan Baihu's father and son and a group of personal soldiers were brought to Qin Xu, who came out of the gate of Xiaoguan City to brush up his reputation. When there was still a long way away, Yan Baihu, who had already suffered from the dark feet of many Danyang soldiers, took advantage of the opportunity of the Danyang soldiers who were escorting him to salute Qin Xu. Suddenly, he broke free of his hands that were buckled, took two steps forward and knelt down suddenly. After a few steps on his knees, his hands were raised high, and he fell to the ground and shouted loudly.

"Yan Baihu?" Speaking of which, Qin Xu was also taken aback by Yan Baihu's sudden breaking free. But before Qin Xu's side Dian Wei, Lao Xu and others and the soldiers who first ascended to protect each other, they saw Yan Baihu's sudden move. After all, Qin Xu was still not used to the custom of paying homage at every turn in this era, so he asked the Danyang soldier who was rushing up to crush Yan Baihu to the ground.

"The last general is incompetent! shocked Qin Shuai, and hoped that Qin Shuai would be punished! Get out of the way! "I was tricked by Yan Baihu a few times ago, and I escaped the investigation like sifting sand, which was originally a very faceless thing for the Danyang soldiers who were eager to make contributions. And this time, because he didn't check for a while, Yan Baihu broke free from restraint and leaked cowardice in front of Qin Xu, and the Danyang soldiers answered Qin Xu's question, and they didn't seem to have much confidence. Directly sent this anger to Yan Baihu's body, after clenching his fist at Qin Xu and pleading guilty, this Qin Xu vaguely remembered that it was a Danyang soldier of the rank of an uncle, and directly waved his hand to the people around him, and dragged Yan Baihu's legs upside down, and was about to drag people away.

"Qin Envoy Jun! Yan has something important to tell you! I really have something to tell you! Seeing that Qin Xu didn't have a trace of expression, just kept a calm face and didn't speak, the Danyang soldiers gritted their teeth and wanted to carry out the order of the upper peak. But Yan Baihu replied to the wrong meaning, shouted again and again, and finally even shouted in his throat, like a broken gong, but he was still shouting at Qin Xu freely. Now Lao Yan has nothing, even an old face has been lost in front of his son and a group of pro-soldiers, just hoping to give the people behind him a way to live in front of Qin Xu, if nothing happens, then Yan Baihu is estimated to be a clown in this life, leaving countless laughing stocks. Therefore, whether it is survival or prestige, Yan Baihu has to do his best.

"Okay, let him stay, and the others will take care of him, and he must not act unwisely!" was a little disgusted by the scandals of the later generations of the United States (army), and saw the methods of the Danyang soldiers to torture people, Qin Xu was really afraid that one of them would not be able to take care of him, and when he saw these Yan generals and Yan Baihu's son Yan Yu again, it is estimated that all of these people will be tortured. This was not Qin Xu's original intention.

"Thank you Qin Envoy Jun for your great kindness! Thank you Qin Envoy Jun for your great kindness! "You can't experience the feeling of near-death without experiencing it. Yan Baihu was once a hero, and he couldn't get out of the realm of this mortal, after being dragged up by the Danyang soldiers, the panic in his eyes was still difficult to retreat, but it was true or false, but it was not known to outsiders.

"No!" Qin Xu deliberately pointed out the means of Danyang soldiers to the light. Obviously, Yan Yu, who was still under the control of the Danyang soldiers, and the Yan family's own soldiers all breathed a long sigh of relief. This is the advantage that the situation is stronger than people, not only did these people not dare to have the slightest idea of resenting Qin Xu, but they didn't even dare to look directly at Qin Xu's sweeping gaze, where was there still half of the majesty that swept across the Jiangdong half of the country back then.

"General Yan! How did you get Danyang to think you were committed to at that time, you must be able to think clearly without Qin Mou's details, right? Now why are you provoking a war again? Attacking the passes of our allies? Presumably, General Yan will inevitably give Qin a satisfactory answer, right? The corners of Qin Xu's mouth were slightly raised, and he said with a sneer.

Although Qin Xu had never seen Yan Baihu. But from Yan Baihu's actions just now, Qin Xu can roughly see through Yan Baihu's character. said that the grass on the wall probably had to lift him up. This old brother is really a character. It was also a majestic time. When he was the strongest, he even occupied Wu County, proclaimed himself the king of Eastern Wude, and also had the ambition to watch the Central Plains! And now he can be in front of a young man who is much younger than his son, so he can let go of his body, although there is the intention of wanting to live, but this state of mind alone. It's not something that the average person might have. And the more this kind of person, the more arrogant he becomes when he is in power, and he cherishes his life very much. Qin Xu didn't dare to say that he was completely sure, but he expected that this time he would definitely gain something.

"Qin Envoy Jun! The villain really doesn't dare to call himself a general in front of the envoy! Moreover, Yan Mou is indeed involuntary in this matter, and he still hopes that Qin will make Jun aware of it! Yan Baihu saw that Qin Xu had no intention of killing. A heart that reached the throat was also put back. But he still accompanied him carefully, and said to Qin Xu: "And the villain still has a good report, but this matter is important, the villain is afraid of being talkative, and being listened to by others is definitely not beneficial to the envoy, so it is ...... Therefore, I want to ask Jun Ping to retreat left and right, and the villain dares to speak out about big things! ”

"Bold!" Yan Baihu's voice did not fall, and Lao Xu, who was originally blocking in front of Qin Xu, took the lead in asking: "You are a mere thief." General Qin has already taken your life, but he is still using Qiao like this. Be careful! Aren't you afraid of a certain sword? ”

Lao Xu's words are reasonable, but in fact, he is even more ashamed of Qin Xu. Although Qin has been trained by Lu Lingqi for three years, his body is no longer as weak as he was at the beginning, and if he meets him in the market, he will not be able to get close to three or two people when he is idle. But those people were just a little stronger rough guys. Who is Yan Baihu? Don't look at the old man who is more than half a hundred years old now, and his beard is gray, but ten years ago, he was also the number one person in Jiangdong, a well-known thief and giant, with Yan Baihu in Jiangdong, and even the yellow turban thieves did not dare to provoke and compete for territory easily, which shows the power of this old man. Letting him be with Qin Xu alone, and in front of so many sergeants, if Qin Xu didn't agree, he would be afraid of him, but if he agreed, Lao Xu didn't dare to guarantee that what Yan Baihu said was true, if he held Qin Xu hostage and did something not very good, Qin Xu's loss of face would be small, and it would make Lu Bu angry, and no one would be able to bear such consequences. Therefore, without waiting for Qin Xu to react, Lao Xu took the lead and said.

"Lao Xu doesn't have to be like a great enemy! Let General Yan come closer and speak! Qin Xu naturally understood the intentions of this old brother who had been unswervingly standing by his side since he first arrived at the end of the Han Dynasty until now. However, Qin Xu had his own plans in his heart. Although the current situation is that Lu Bujun has won first, after all, what he is facing is only the Yan generals who are infinitely close to the bottom of the valley regardless of the morale of the soldiers, and the Shanyue barbarians who have no military discipline at all, which is not something worthy of praise at all. Although it was expected that the driving force behind this matter was Yuzhang Sun Ce, and it was even more clear that eighty percent of it was from that Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang, but before meeting with Guo Jia and talking in detail, Qin Xu did not dare to guarantee what the next means of this Jiangdong Zhoulang, who dared to fight with Guo Jia, would be. However, what is certain is that Yan Baihu is still of great use to Guo Jia! Otherwise, Qin Xu would not have been allowed to go to the meeting with Wu Jun first, but would have rushed to the aid of Xiao Guan first. Because even if Yan Baihu broke through Xiao Pass, once Qin Xu's army arrived, he would not let him go. There is no way to use such a big battle to kill chickens and deal with the Yan rabble like a knife. Therefore, Qin Xu said after stopping Lao Xu's move of drawing his sword to deter him.

"Thank you for your trust! No wonder people say that Qin Envoy Jun is a god and a man, just this open-mindedness, we are convinced! It's just that...... It's just that at this time, it's really important, and it's a matter of Jiangdong's safety, this ......" Yan Baihu first seemed to flatter Qin Xu straightforwardly, but he still looked around, and he refused to say it clearly, looking at the situation, it seemed that he would not open his mouth unless Qin Xu agreed to his request.

"Oh! So? Qin Xu stared at Yan Baihu's face for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Then you don't have to say it." ”

"Huh? Qin Envoy Jun, this ......" Yan Baihu thought about countless ways of Qin Xu's reaction after he said this sentence that had been taught by a master. Is it to immediately retreat and listen to your own secret report? Or do you pretend to refute yourself harshly in order to invite people's hearts? In short, no matter how you think about it, Yan Baihu really couldn't imagine that he had a heavy punch in the past, but Qin Xu's fluttering words made him feel like he was hitting the cotton, and he had nowhere to focus. And looking at Qin Xu's indifferent expression, it really doesn't seem to be fake. This kind of situation is not Yan Baihu's muscular brain can figure out what went wrong in the middle link of his perfect planning.

"Sample, play psychological tactics with someone Qin! It doesn't take much, it can make you 1,800 years! Qin Xu sneered in his heart. (To be continued......)
