Chapter 431: Liu Bei Bitterly Hates to Press the Golden Thread and Make Wedding Clothes for Lu Bu (Part I)
In my impression, a fierce general of the level of Zhang Fei and Zhang Sanye should be the kind of character who is sluggish and easy to be cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone. Even when facing a desperate situation, it can't be said that he will have a little bit of heroism like the original Chu overlord, even if he doesn't fight to the death, he has to fight to be considered a hero.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei really opened Qin Xu's eyes this time. Scolding, sneak attacking, pinching "soft persimmons", shaking a shot, leaving the soldiers and fleeing, only Qin Xu couldn't think of it, and there was nothing that Zhang Sanye couldn't do. How Zhang Fei who exists in the book is so powerful and invincible, in front of him that he is a tall and strong black man who is in conflict left and right in the army, but it gives people a feeling that he can't match the number.
But soon, Qin Xu, who had just walked around in front of the Ghost Gate, was relieved. In the past few years, the world's number one fierce general has become his father-in-law, and even Lu Lingqi, a girl, can block the fierce general Zhang Fei's move, so what else is impossible for a lucky traverser?
Maybe Zhang Fei's bravery is indeed very fierce, and he dares to ambush Cheng Lian, who has thousands of soldiers, with only 500 people, but in any case, it is also because Cheng Lian is careless in front of the battle. It is by no means a moment of being a hero in the midst of thousands of people, after all, he is also a man of flesh and blood, and of course understands that personal force can never play a decisive role on the battlefield. Therefore, if in the current situation of absolute disadvantage, he is still thinking about death, then Zhang Fei is not called reckless, but stupid.
"Hey, ring-eyed thief, it turned out to be a silver-like pewter spearhead, and he couldn't even take a trick from the eldest lady! Brothers, follow me! Cheng Lian was just forced by Zhang Fei's momentum. Even the consciousness of resistance was wiped out by the chilling killing intent, if it wasn't for Lu Bu's timely arrival, he would have confessed here. It was really a big ugly thing in front of many brothers in Lu Bujun. Now seeing that Zhang Fei actually abandoned the battle and fled with a false shot, he was about to break through the defense line of the flying cavalry camp backed by Pingyuan City in the blink of an eye, and he had just recovered some of his spirit with the support of his cronies, where would he let go of such a good opportunity for revenge.
"Wait! Let him go! Just after Cheng Lian finished giving an urgent order, he suddenly found that Lu Bu was on the spot, and he laughed a few times on his face, and was about to "make up a procedure" to report to Lu Bu. Unexpectedly, Qin Xu suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Lu Bu was about to promise Cheng Lian, but he couldn't help but hear Qin Xu shouting in the middle of the voice. looked at Zhang Fei, who was surrounded by the soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion, and raised his eyebrows. glanced at Qin Xu suspiciously, groaned slightly, but nodded and waved his hand. There were soldiers from the personal guard battalion to convey Lu Bu's military order.
"General Qin. My brother Zhongming, what are you ......" Lu Bu can trust Qin Xu unconditionally, but Cheng Lian, who was just harmed by Zhang Fei and is now a little unable to raise his head, quits. Cheng Lian is an old man of Lu Bujun, and he has always been good friends with Qin Xu, so he didn't have many scruples in and out of his words, and said with a complaint: "That's Liu Bei's right-hand man, a figure who relies on him like a heart, and he is so brave." In the future, he will definitely be the enemy of the lord, how can he survive? Again. Just let him go, and people won't miss you! ”
"I can't stop it!" Qin Xu, who was beaten down by Cheng Lian, was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Besides, there is really no benefit in leaving Zhang Fei behind. This time, Liu Bei's army raided the plain, saying that it was to avenge the seizure of land, but don't you think this thing always exudes a strangeness? ”
"Eccentric? What's weird? Seeing that before the soldiers of the pro-guard battalion rushed over and ordered the flying cavalry battalion to let Zhang Fei go, Zhang Fei had already found a weak point in the defense after knocking two sergeants away, and had already rushed out of the encirclement, and in a blink of an eye, there was only a back left, Cheng Lian was depressed, and suddenly heard Qin Xu say this, and asked a little listlessly.
"Heh, no matter how dilapidated the Plains City is, no matter how familiar you are with the Plains, with more than 10,000 defenders equipped with complete armaments, can you break through a city with 5,000 people?" Since Qin Xu learned that the Youzhou troops led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly attacked the plains, he has not been able to figure out a question, do you want to say that these two famous characters who have been passed down through the ages lack hearts? How could you be so big, and dare to stir up trouble with only so many people? It's okay for Zhang Fei to fall, Qin Xu has always subconsciously thought that Zhang Fei is reckless and can do anything, but isn't it about the second brother? Guan Fuzi is a wise general who likes to read the Spring and Autumn Period at night, even if the art of war books in this era are the secret techniques of the scholars, it is easy to observe, but he has also led the army for many years, and the double is to attack it, and the truth of the ten rules of siege should not be understood! And Guan Yu is definitely a "good general" who cares for his soldiers, and he just let more than 4,000 people die in vain? Be obstructed! It doesn't work! It wasn't until Zhang Fei's actions like this that Qin Xu suddenly understood Zhang Fei or Liu Bei's intentions in his mind.
Have an axe to grind! The Youzhou army is moving like this, and there is definitely something else! With Liu Bei's heroic temperament, not to mention that he was just "forced" to sacrifice the plain city, he abandoned his wife in history, and even borrowed and did not pay it back, this girl has never done less. Liu Bei, who has been drifting for half his life and can still have the last laugh, how could he be so entangled in the plains and as strong an enemy as Lu Bu under the tree? Unless there is an "advantage" that is absolutely worthy of such a strong enemy under Liu Bei's Ningken tree, it must also be done. And Zhang Fei abandoned his subordinates and fled, which also shows this, because these people are meant to be sacrificed.
Although it sounds a little cruel, it is worth Liu Bei, who has always flaunted himself with benevolence and righteousness, can not hesitate to use the lives of 5,000 people to delay the pace of the plain garrison that is not very calm because of the arrival of Lu Bu, Qin Xu really can't figure out what else there will be besides the adjacent Youzhou, which has long been coveted by Ji and the two states.
Subdued Zhen Qian, put Zhen Jian under house arrest, held the Zhen family in his hands, deliberately put Zhen Jiang back, and ordered Guan Yu to mix in the scout team, and booby-trapped Song Xian, the general of Lu Bu's army, to create the illusion that Liu Bei's army was hiding near the left, attracting Lu Bu's hatred, so as to lead Lu Bu to lead the troops out of the city, but he didn't measure himself to attack the city with only 4,000 troops, and even if Lu Bu hadn't arrived in time, he would have been beheaded by Zhang Fei again.
The purpose of all this is for Hebei, and it is very likely that it is even Jizhou. Because the plain is far away from the city of Jizhou, it can be reached in only three or four hours. This is for Lu Bujun. If you don't stop, one day is enough! And the reason why Liu Bei spent so much time was to buy time for the Youzhou army to attack Yecheng.
The Jizhou Army, which was originally Yuan Shao's family, was under the command of Yuan Xi. It is no longer the prestige of the Hebei overlord's personal guard when Yuan Shao was there, and it is reluctant to protect the state border, and at best, it is just to be able to compete with the Bingzhou elite cavalry who was also led into a sheep by Yuan Tan. Against the elite soldiers of Youzhou who Yuan Shao did not have a good way to deal with at that time, to be honest, it was indeed only a matter of time before Jizhou changed hands. And what Liu Bei needs most is precisely time!
In the plain city, Lu Bu's army is looking at Jizhou, and Cao Cao's army in Baima Port is also gathering. It is rumored that the Yuan brothers stopped fighting and stopped fighting, and everyone knows that they covet Jizhou and Jizhou. At such a juncture, if you want to occupy Jizhou, and then take Yecheng to resist the army. It is indeed necessary for Liu Bei to take it down at a very fast speed before it can be done.
"Are you saying that maybe Liu Bei is invading Jizhou and storming Yecheng at this time, because he is afraid that we will 'cause chaos' to him. I sent Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to the plains to stir things up for us. To hold us back and not interfere with their purpose? Cheng Lian finally understood what Qin Xu meant, and the indignation on his face before was gradually replaced by solemnity. Being the first person to be valued by Lu Bu and relieved to be entrusted to an army to guard an important place, Cheng Lian was by no means so unbearable in the eyes of ordinary people, and he suddenly understood Qin Xu's opinion: "Not good! If that's the case, wouldn't Wen Yuan also fall into the calculations of these people! Oh, Mr. Wenhe is really harmful. None of these simple schemes are seen, my lord. This Zhang Fei is already so difficult, Guan Yu is his brother, and he must not be a person to mess with, and I hope that the lord will order, I will go to rescue Wenyuan as soon as possible. ”
"If Wen He knew that you arranged him like this, he wouldn't let you get better!" For Jia Xu's resourcefulness, Qin Xu thinks that he is ten times as good as himself, and when he went to Zhen Jiang to explore the place where the soldiers are hiding near the left side of the plain, Jia Xu has already seen some clues, but Qin Xu didn't listen to it at that time. As Cheng Lian said, with Jia Xu's wisdom, such strategies that are obviously from the hands of Kong Rong and Kong Wenju next to Liu Bei can indeed be regarded as pediatrics. And the reason why Jia Xu still made Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian like this must have his reasons. When Qin Xu heard Cheng Lian say that there was Jia Xu in the middle, he was not in a hurry.
"Does Wen He have other plans? If you know, you might as well tell someone about it. Even Lu Bu, who didn't get along with Jia Xu very well, was very relieved of Jia Xu's wisdom, and Qin Xu's unhurried appearance really made Lu Bu really impatient, seeing that Qin Xu was still selling Guanzi, Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said unhappily.
"Uh...... Where would I know......" Qin Xugang wanted to find a casual reason to perfunctory the past. But seeing that Lu Bu looked like you kid wants you to look good if you don't say anything, he could only smile and said, "But the left and right can't escape the scope of calculating Jizhou." Jizhou was the base camp of Yuan Benchu back then, and after several years of operation, even if Yuan Shao was dead, at least the hearts of the people, soldiers, and generals in Jizhou still belonged to the Yuan family. The reason why Xu planned to let General Cheng Lian borrow the power of the Zhen family to hide troops in Jizhou after releasing Yuan Shang last time was also out of fear that if the strength of the Yuan family still existed, and if the lord wanted to go to the Yuan family, there would be another military disaster, so he thought of burying the surprise soldiers early. Unexpectedly, such a thing suddenly happened to the Zhen family, Xu Zhi's calculation was in the soup, Wen He's move may also be for Xu's purpose at the beginning! ”
"Are you saying that the reason why Wen He allowed the enemy army to plot against our army was to paralyze the other party, so that they could go and fight to the death with Yuan Xi first, and after the vitality was greatly damaged, we would enter Yecheng with a high profile and recover Jizhou?" Who said that Lu Bu has no political wisdom, Qin Xu is definitely in a hurry with him. As soon as Qin Xu's words fell, Lu Bu had already guessed Jia Xu's intentions from Qin Xu's words. No wonder Pingyuan City is dilapidated to such an extent, and the Youzhou army is menacing again, but Jia Xu can still sit firmly on Diaoyutai, and even "take the initiative" to cooperate with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's ideas, and when he sent Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian out of the city to face the battle, he also used a lame two-sided encirclement strategy. In order to give Liu Bei enough time to fight Yuan Xi to the death!
Qin Xu was not afraid that Jia Xu's plan would succeed Liu Bei. First, Jia Xu is still under the actual control of the shadow, Qin Xu is just a name, and any news on the ground in Hebei will definitely be in Jia Xu's hands as soon as possible. With Jia Xu's means, he would never hide in the city so leisurely under the premise that Liu Bei could successfully win Jizhou.
Moreover, Qin Xu had been to Yecheng. Don't say anything else. This was later used by Cao Wei as the capital of Jizhou, and at this time it was still the location of the Yuan family's base camp, and its defense power had reached a limit. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a husband and a husband. That day, Qin Xu was tricky, and let the Black Mountain thieves also stain it, otherwise even if Qin Xu was with the troops at that time, plus the Montenegrin army at that time forcibly attacked the city, with the defenders of Yecheng at that time, who were only more than 1,000 people, if they defended one side alone, they would definitely be able to hold out until Yuan Shao returned to help. Although it is said that Yecheng is now occupied by Yuan Xi, the second child of the old Yuan family. And Liu Beifang not only has Youzhou elite soldiers, but also the so-called "name of benevolence and righteousness" to open the way, and it is by no means easy to capture just by relying on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to help him snatch up such a little time.
"So what should I do now?" Cheng Lian frowned. Regarded as accepting Qin Xu's words, he almost hated Zhang Fei, who had just almost killed him, to his grandmother's house, and said, "Is it possible to learn from our side." Let Wen Yuan let Guan Yu go? ”
"Guan Yu's force. Although it is not as good as this one, it is by no means an idle person. When the lord was in the Tiger Prison that day, he should have felt this way! Qin Xu smiled slightly, arched his hand at Lu Bu, and said: "Wen Yuan's ability lies in commanding the army, although he is also outstanding in force, but compared to Guan Yu, I am afraid it is still slightly inferior!" ”
"Not bad! That Guan Yu made a big knife. Known as the Green Dragon Glaive, the weight is not below the halberd of a certain Heavenly Painting. And the knife is proficient, and there is some bravery, within a hundred moves, Wen Yuan is not easy to win! But that guy wants Wen Yuan's life, and it's not easy! Lu Bu saved some face for his old buddy, but it also confirmed that what Qin Xu said was true.
"So what do I do now?" Seeing that this is not good, that is not good, Cheng Lian is really depressed and not light. His face remained unswerving, and he said sullenly: "It's not so bad that I have to continue to sit on wax, pretend not to know and wait for Liu Bei's news?" ”
"At least pack up the gifts that this Han clan relative gave us!" Qin Xu smiled at the five hundred cavalry who were abandoned by Zhang Fei and said, "Four or five thousand people, in the future, if Liu Bei comes to redeem it, at least you can exchange it for a meal for your brother!" ”
"Okay, since that's the case, then Zhang Fei will also escape! Wen Yuan's side still has to go and see it after all. Lao Gao, you have taken a hard trip to the camp, Cheng Lian, since you are so idle and panicked, the nearly 4,000 Youzhou soldiers who are attacking the city at the north gate will be handed over to you. Zhong Ming, Ling'er, go back to the city with someone! Interrupting Qin Xu and Cheng Lian's bickering, Lu Bu made arrangements for everyone one by one.
"Daddy, I'm going to go with Uncle Gao to help Uncle Wenyuan!" After listening to Lu Bu's signal, everyone agreed, but Lu Lingqi, who had just blocked Zhang Fei's blow for Qin Xu regardless of her life, was still excited. It's no wonder that since Lu Lingqi and Qin Xu got to know each other, they have pestered Lu Bu and Qin Xu more than once, and they want to go to the battlefield to give full play to the militant factor inherited by the old Lu family, but whether it is Qin Xu or Lu Bu, they have either deduced it again and again, or simply disagreed. The tired Miss Lu even had to follow Qin Xu in the way of a family and have a good time. Although she has always been fighting with the elite in the army, after all, as Lu Bu's only daughter, Lu Lingqi also knows that these people will not dare to compete with her, so she doesn't know what her strength is. After a battle with Zhang Fei today, although he only received one move from Zhang Fei, and at that time, Zhang Fei just wanted to take the opportunity to get some dry goods, so he didn't return empty-handed without exerting great strength, but this was also Lu Lingqi's battle with the same name anyway, and he also forced back the famous general's attack, which is nothing more exciting for Lu Lingqi, who is only sixteen years old. Anyway, when he entered Plains City, under the escort of Lu Bu and a group of generals and soldiers, it is estimated that it will not be much easier than breaking through the Plains if he wants to hurt his husband. Therefore, when Lu Bu arranged for Gao Shun to rescue Zhang Liao, Lu Lingqi took the opportunity to speak, with a little coquettishness, and begged Lu Bu.
"Good girl, she deserves to be a certain tiger girl! With Ling'er here, he is a little more sure of fighting for Jizhou with Liu Bei, and he is a little more sure of being a father! I don't know what kind of logic Lu Bu is, after listening to Lu Lingqi's words of taking the initiative to ask for war, Lu Bu not only stopped it immediately, but seemed to be very pleased, his eyes were full of excitement and doting, and he agreed without thinking about it.
"Lord......" Qin Xu interjected with some embarrassment. Who is Guan Yu? That's a martial saint who has been passed down through the ages. Although Lu Lingqi had just blocked Zhang Fei's move, it was just a move. The difference between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and other fierce generals, Qin Xu would not believe that he was not seen by Lu Bu, the world's number one fierce general, an expert among experts.
"It doesn't matter! There is an old man, and there is no worries! Lu Bu couldn't even listen to Qin Xu's words at this moment. Today's baby girl is really showing her face! In addition, he had insight into Liu Bei's conspiracy, and found that he could not only yin Liu Bei, but also solve the problem of Jizhou's de-Yuanhua in one fell swoop, although it was a full night of tossing and turning all night, even an iron man like Lu Bu, the tired look on his face could not hide the past, but Lu Bu still felt very excited, so it was rare to stand on Lu Lingqi's side. (To be continued......)
