Under Tongguan, Cao Ying got the news that Qingzhou Lu Bu had successfully gotten rid of Yuan Shao's coercion, and did not mix with the news of the Son of Heaven, and heard that his precious son Cao Ang had changed his previous weak and war-weary surname, not only saying that there was a way to benefit from the matter with Yuan Shao, but also taking the initiative to come from Chen to this Chang'an matter.

This makes Cao Ying, who has always been worried about Cao Ang's surname being gentle and sincere, and the world will be peaceful in the future, but if the times are uneven, he will definitely not be able to keep the foundation he has worked so hard to build, and he is overjoyed. I don't ask why Cao Ang has such a change, in short, it lasted for a few days, and it was not sent, and it was uncomfortable to have an abnormal headache, but because of this news, he immediately ordered his soldiers to attack Tongguan that could not be captured for more than a month, at least this posture still has to be done, and it is not possible to let Yuan Shao, who is very treacherous, and his precious son Cao Ang, who is easy to "grow", see that his old Cao Kong is in charge of tens of thousands of male soldiers, and he will be helpless by a pass.

"The eldest prince, the small city in front is Lantian County, and when I wait until I wait here, it will only be one hundred and fifty miles away from the place where the lord is stationed! Previously, Mr. Wen Ruo had already sent six hundred miles to urgently report the news to the eldest prince, presumably at this moment, the lord was waiting for the arrival of the eldest prince in the camp! Xu Huang can be said to be familiar with the terrain of this area, it was not far from here, Cao Ying exterminated the original white wave thief Yang Feng's department, and surrendered his own, but he didn't expect that after a short time, this time he actually followed Cao Ang, the son of Cao Ying, from Qingzhou to Chenliu, and after a while, he was going to return here.

"Hard work General Xu!" Cao Ang nodded, a little tired on his slightly thin face, and said. This way in order to rush to Tongguan before the vanguard cavalry led by Yan Liang under Yuan Shao, Cao Ang and his entourage from Linzi to Chenliu did not care about the temporary rest, it can be regarded as a person who does not leave the horse, eat and drink on the horse, and ran for more than 800 miles in three days, if it is not for the strength of the horse's feet, it may be faster.

"The eldest prince, since we are already quite close to the place where the lord is garrisoned, and we are not at this moment, it is getting late now, why don't I go to this Lantian county town to rest for a while, and I can also raise horses and feet. Don't be afraid of the jokes of the eldest son, although Yu's old bones can also be called tough, but this way, it is about to fall apart. Xu Huang was lying on horseback beside him, but it was Cheng Yu, the henchman who was sent to Linzi by Cao Ying from Tongguan, Cheng Yu's face was already pale at this moment, and he seemed to have no strength to speak.

"Brother, do you want me to take a break? After all, Mr. Zhongde is not confused, and he is a scribe, so such a rapid march should really hurt him. Cao Ang did not immediately order to go to Lantian County to rest, but asked a young man next to him who was wearing a dark color suit and also looked tired.

The eldest prince asked him what he had done. Cheng Yu practiced the six arts of a gentleman, although he was a scribe and was in his forties, he could also pull a strong bow and hold a fierce horse, which was tighter than some young people's physique! Before the young man could speak, Cheng Yu showed a sneering look on his face, glanced at the three guards in black light armor behind the young man, and the twenty Suiyi in yellow leather armor, forcibly straightened his body on the horse, and said.

"Since Mr. Zhongde still has the strength to hold on, there are only less than two hundred miles left and right, and the distance is only two or three hours away, then please ask Mr. Zhongde to go to General Cao first, Daoming Qin and his son are temporarily resting in Lantian County, please General Cao send troops to meet him!" The person who spoke was none other than Qin Xu.

"Mr. Zhongde, you should say a few words! Qin envoy Jun went all the way to help my father, but this friendship was tight. Cao Ang looked at Cheng Yu, who was eager to roll his eyes at Qin Xu's words, with a wry smile on his face, and said, and at the same time secretly arched his hand at Qin Xu, and the pleading meaning in his eyes was overflowing. For Qin Xuneng who had just invited Xuzhou celebrities Zhao Yu, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong to propose to Lu Bu, Cai Yong, and Mi Fang at the same time, he personally went into battle, saying that he wanted to help his ally Cao Ying get rid of Yuan Shao's strategy, even Cao Ang didn't know how many times he had made up his mind to listen to Cheng Yu's teaching that "the superior has no friends", and he wanted to do that false and wrongful thing to Qin Xu. But for Qin Xu's "enthusiastic" and "righteous" actions, Cao Ang once again forgot Cheng Yu's words.

"General Qin, something is wrong!" Just as Qin Xu pursed his lips, disdainful of Cheng Yu, who was small in the center of his eyes and the tip of the needle, and was about to speak, Lao Xu, one of the three guards who came with him behind him, suddenly frowned and stood up, suddenly dismounted and fell to the ground, his face became more and more solemn, and said in a deep voice: "It's not good, I wait about thirty miles behind me, there is a large number of cavalry marching, the number is about 10,000, and the horses in front of him will inevitably come here for half an hour at most, how to distinguish it, please General Qin decide." ”

Lao has been in battle for a long time, as early as when Lu Bu was in Bingzhou, he served in the army in the Gao Shun camp, and he has accumulated rich battlefield experience for more than ten years, and he has always been very accurate in this judgment. This time to meet Cao Ying, Qin Xu only wanted to take the twenty soldiers of the first battalion who had already been equipped with the first crossbow to ensure his safety. After all, this time Cao Ying is in Qin Xu's eyes, it is rare to do a righteous thing that is in line with the way of righteousness (referred to as a rare thing to do back to business), even if he cares about the Qingzhou forces and "dislikes" himself, he must not learn from Yuan Shao to act like this and smear his face in saving the Son of Heaven, which is a matter of benefiting his old Cao. But Lu Bu had to let Qin Xu bring the familiar captains of the trapping camp, Lao Xu, Sima Mao, and Kong Erzi, so that he was willing to let him leave with confidence. And at this moment, Qin Xu also saw Lu Bu's foresight.

10,000 cavalry behind you?

Since Cao Ying was difficult to give up Chang'an, which was easy to mess up, and raised troops, he took away almost three-fifths of Yanzhou's soldiers and horses, and now there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses left in Yanzhou, and they are still distributed in the defense of various counties and counties in Yanzhou, so it is impossible to be Yanzhou soldiers and horses at all.

Qingzhou soldiers and horses are even more impossible. Although Lu Bu did have 20,000 elite cavalry in his hands. But as soon as these are Lu Bu's family background, Qingzhou does not produce horses, so if you use some, you will use less, and it is impossible to send half of the cavalry to come for no reason at once. Second, between Qingzhou and Sili, but there is Jizhou at the top, Yuzhou from the bottom, and Yanzhou in the middle, unless Lu Bu wants Xun Yu, who is staying in the base camp, to think that Lu Bu wants to take the opportunity to occupy Cao Ying's nest, it is impossible to put so many soldiers and horses into Yanzhou.

Cao Ang, Cheng Yu, and even Qin Xu, their faces suddenly turned pale and solemn. Since it is not the strength of Yanzhou or Qingzhou, in this way, there is only one explanation: Yuan Shao's vanguard cavalry!

Although Yuan Shao wanted to compete with Cao Ying for the ownership of the Son of Heaven, and suddenly sent troops to pick Cao Ying's peaches when Cao Ying had been fighting for almost two months, he still had to be the one in name, but also set up an archway under the banner of the righteous ministers of the Han Dynasty, saying that he was not worried about the safety of the Son of Heaven who was in deep danger in the army, and wanted to work with his ally Cao Ying to save the name of the Son of Heaven from the thief.

But even so, if Yuan Shao knew that among the people in this line, there were both the first heir in Yanzhou and Cao Ying's eldest son, Cao Angzai, and the fiancé of Lu Bu's only daughter, Qin someone, I don't know if it would be a "whim" and play a "game" of strange goods. However, no matter what other people think, Qin Xu knew that if he was really caught by Yuan Shao here, he would not say anything else, but looking at the twenty veterans who were familiar with Qin Xu and could no longer be familiar with the camp, it was estimated that according to the surname of Lao Yuan, who loved face, he would "rush to the crown angrily" and click on himself and others at that time, then he would not be Yuan Shao.

"Brother......, Ang once heard my father say that my brother once relied on 400 new soldiers to defeat my 40,000 elites in Yanzhou with a trick, so that my father wrote down my brother's name on the side of his sleeve, presumably, my brother must have a way, right?" Cao Ang is not a fool, what Qin Xu could predict, how could Cao Ang not think of it? Just look at Cheng Yu Cheng Zhongde, who prides himself on being upright and upright, known as Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face does not change, the legs that clamped the horse's belly trembled so much that even the eyes of the war horse under his crotch showed confusion and contempt, it can be seen that even Cheng Yu knows his current situation, and he is nervous and difficult to hold himself, let alone Cao Ang, who has never been on the battlefield. Poor Cao Ang, an honest child, now has a pale face, and now he can still say these words without being scared to cry, which is really admired in Qin Xu's heart.

However, admiration is admiration, Cao Ang's words made Qin someone smile bitterly. Not to mention that the guy who "cheated" back then hasn't been used for a long time, and he hasn't brought the same with him, even if he has ready-made materials and configurations, it's too late. Besides, it was 10,000 cavalry, 10,000 cavalry, galloping towards himself and others on this plain land! And even if you add more than 20 people from Cao Ang and his party on his side, all of them together are only more than 50 people, and the real capable fighters have to eliminate Qin Xu, Cao Ang, and Cheng Yu. Just kidding, right? However, seeing Cao Ang's fierce and hopeful gaze, as well as Cao Jun's entourage, and even Cheng Yu, they were all looking at him with burning eyes at this moment, and even Lao Xu and the others on his side and the twenty soldiers who had ascended the battalion were also looking forward to it, which made Qin Xu really have a feeling of crying and laughing. Isn't it Cao Ang's side, plus these people on his side still really think that someone in Qin is a heavenly immortal?

What to do? The matter is urgent, and it is almost a certain death. At this time, Qin Xu became more and more calm. It is definitely impossible to escape, not to mention how long they can escape when they are sleepy and lacking horses, and whether they can outrun the cavalry behind them, you must know that under the pursuit of 10,000 cavalry, if more than 50 people want to escape on the plain, it is almost a fool's dream, and they will be reduced to being played with as prey. But if you don't escape, even if you don't get caught by Yuan Shao's cavalry vanguard and give it to Yuan Shao, more than 50 people are almost the same as the proportion of the same reef in the sea in front of 10,000 people. These cavalrymen, who were galloping at full strength, categorically did not choose to make a detour for the sake of the more than 50 people in front. Under the indiscriminate impact of the crush, the chance of surviving is infinitely close to zero.

"Gongming, are you familiar with the situation in Lantian County? Is it occupied by Cao Gong? If I wait, can I be sure that I will be able to open the gates? Qin Xu could only pin his slim hopes on the small city in front of him, which was no more than two feet high and no more than two hundred steps wide, and was not taken into account by Yuan Shao's 10,000 vanguard cavalry.

"General Qin doesn't know anything!" What Qin Xu said, as if it brought hope to everyone, except for Xu Huang and Cheng Yu, almost everyone's faces flashed a little surprise, but they heard Xu Huang smile bitterly: "Because of the war, this Lantian county has been under fire several times, except for the east city wall, the other three city walls have collapsed, and the city has long been uninhabited, in fact, it is just an empty city......
