Chapter 65: Good Future Investment

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were young friends, and after each of them dominated one side, they also maintained an alliance for a long time, and Lu Bu did not accept the kindness of Yuan Shao's sworn enemy Gongsun Zan this time, but chose to take advantage of Yanzhou, and only brought Zhang Liao and Qin Xu to Cao Cao's territory for a banquet, which was really a big risk.

After Qin Xu and the others returned to the camp of the Lu Bu army, whether it was the generals who came to greet them or the soldiers who were training, they all whispered.

"The lord is back, it looks like he has a big deal with Lao Cao?"

"That is, when has our lord suffered a loss? Don't talk about Lao Cao, Yuan Shao is still deflated? ”

"That's, that's, the lord is now a Qingzhou pastor, that's a feudal official! How dare Lao Cao? ”

"But there are yellow scarves raging in Qingzhou......"

"Are you afraid of the yellow scarf? Is the lord afraid of yellow scarves? ”

“……”

The spirit of curiosity and gossip is regardless of age and gender, even in the late Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago. Lu Bu was the head of the first army, and he was quite powerful, and no one dared to ask except for the two ladies; Zhang Liao was resolute and said little, and he was in a high position, so naturally he couldn't inquire about anything; Only Qin Xu, although he is valued by Lu Bu, he is just a master of the army, adhering to the mind of many friends and many roads in later generations, Qin Xu mingles with everyone on weekdays, and he is the only one who is surrounded by familiar soldiers who are burning with the fire of gossip, which makes Qin Xu anxious.

Qin Xu's performance at the banquet made Lu Bu earn enough face in front of Cao Cao, and the smug look on his face when he returned to the camp was overflowing, which made the morale of his generals slightly low due to being in a different place have been significantly improved, which was something Qin Xu did not expect.

"Qin Xu, I heard that you are in the limelight today! What to run? Can I still eat you? Lu Lingqi grabbed Qin Xu, who was trying to escape, in front of the camp tent, and said dissatisfiedly with a pout. As soon as Lu Bu came back, he was dragged by the two ladies, Zhang Liao arranged for the guards to be busy, Qin Xu was surrounded by a group of big Han people, and the anxious Lu Lingqi easily saw Qin Xu come to his camp, and he was still secretly happy that he could finally learn about the night situation from Qin Xu's mouth, but he didn't expect Qin Xu to turn around and flee when he saw him.

Qin Xu also secretly complained, a mistake, a mistake! How could I forget that Cai Yan and Lu Lingqi lived in the same camp as soon as I was happy, and it was easy to get rid of the gossip party in the late Han Dynasty, but it fell into the hands of Miss Lu again.

"Miss, you haven't slept yet!" Qin Xu looked at Cai Yan, who was sitting in the camp tent and looking at the scroll, with a smile on his face, and Lu Lingqi, who was full of dissatisfaction, and he had nothing to say.

“……”

Lu Lingqi was next to her, Qin Xu still didn't get the opportunity to be alone with Cai Yan after all, and ran back to his camp after saying a few random words.

There was nothing to say all night, but the rumors of various versions of "Lu Wen waited to go to the meeting alone, and Master Qin scolded the two of them" were raging in the barracks in the gossip party, and they became more and more outrageous, not to mention, and everyone knew it overnight, so that Qin Xu, who got up the next day and rushed to Lu Bu's camp tent to discuss matters, did not know how much attention he received along the way.

Cao Cao really believed in his word, last night he said that he was going to visit Cai Yong, and came to the Lu Bu military camp early in the morning to pay respect, but Lao Cao did not have Lu Bu's courage, and he brought a large group of generals and soldiers, almost making the camp guards think that the army was coming.

However, after learning that it was Cao Cao's return visit, and then looking at Cao Cao's posture, the soldiers of Lu Bu, who heard about the various versions of the rumors last night, were more convinced of the "authenticity" of the rumors.

Cao Cao only brought Xun Yu and Zhang Miao with Wenchen, Qin Xu didn't see Cheng Yu and Wei Ke, it was estimated that he was angry by Qin Xu's words last night, I don't know if Wei Wei Bodao will be like his hard-working brother, he also coughed up blood and died, Qin Xu thought maliciously.

After meeting Lu Bu, Cao Cao went straight in and put forward a request to take Cai's father and daughter to Chenliu. Lu Bu glanced at Qin Xu with deep meaning, which made Qin Xu break out in a cold sweat, and ordered someone to invite Cai Yong and Cai Yan to come out and meet Cao Cao.

In the face of Cao Cao's warm invitation, Cai Yong didn't know what he was thinking, although he was very happy about Cao Cao's arrival, and even had the sensational performance of "caring for each other without saying a word, only tears emerged", but surprisingly showed that he did not want to leave Lu Bujun, and politely refused Cao Cao's "kindness" to invite them to Chen Liu, which made Cao Cao's face look not very good-looking because he wanted to use Cai Yong's reputation to recruit scholars. Cai Yan even shouted at Uncle Cao, so that Cao Cao, who was already covetous of Cai Yan, had to write a big bitter word on his face.

However, Cao Cao is after all recognized by the world, although he can't guess the thoughts of Cai Yong's father and daughter, but the unswerving face soon disappeared, plus the so-called "Liuxiang Xun Ling" of the famous Xun Yu as a companion, after Lu Bu and Cao Cao's "friendly" consultation, finally formulated the march route of Lu Bu's army along the big river to the east, through Puyang through the East County into Qingzhou Zhizhi Linzi, and as the governor of the two states, it was agreed that Qingzhou and Yanzhou were allies with each other, not attacking each other, exterminating the Yellow Turban, and assisting the Han Dynasty. Under the awe-inspiring righteousness, it is also the pleasure of the guests and hosts for a while, but it is not easy to say how much truth is in this full tent of laughter.

Finally sent Cao Cao and his party away in a strange and warm atmosphere, Lu Bujun did not stay long outside Chen Liucheng, and in the afternoon of the same day, he set up camp and marched to Puyang.

Puyang City, near the river, has been broken by the Montenegrin army several times, became the stronghold of Montenegro Bairao, Cao Cao newly occupied not long, with Xiahou Yuan as the guard, with Chen Liutai guarding Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao as Sima, Chen Gong as a different driver, collecting the exiles to appease the clan, just a few months, even restored a little bit of the original trade to the scene.

Looking at Puyang City, which led to Lu Bu's defeat in history, and the high-spirited Lu Wenhou around him, Qin Xu also regained a little bit of the satisfaction of a "successful person" in his previous life, and finally no longer had to worry about Lu Bu's army's strategy mistakes all day long, causing Lu Bu to return to the old path of the fall of Baimenlou in history.

"Lord, some people claim to be Chen Liutai's brother Zhang Miao's visit!" According to the agreement between Lu Bu and Cao Cao, Lu Bu's army could not enter the city, Xiahou Yuan and Lu Bu had no friendship, and even disliked it, but due to Cao Cao's orders, after Lu Bu's army camped outside Puyang City, although they did not visit each other, but closed the city gate and set up more guards, they did not take the initiative to provoke. Hearing the message from the guard, Lu Bu, who was visiting Zhang Yang, who was still in a coma, suddenly remembered Zhang Miao's instructions when he stayed in Chen.

"Please ask Sima Zhang to wait in the tent!" Lu Bu commanded.

"No!"

Regarding the person recommended by Zhang Miao, although Zhang Miao didn't know what scruples he had and didn't say the name of this person, Qin Xu also had some premonitions, if it was really that person, then Lu Bujun's strength would definitely go to the next level.

The eight strong generals in the history of Lu Bu's army, there are only six people at this time, Cao Xing is still serving as the commander of Hou Cheng's subordinate Shengong battalion, due to the return of Song Xian, the anti-Lu Iron Triangle in history is shattered, Hou Cheng also because of Lu Bu's tolerance of Song Xian, his loyalty has doubled, so that Qin Xu, who has raised his vigilance against Hou Cheng because of Song Xian's affairs, is secretly relieved. As for Zang Ba, who later shined in Cao Cao's army and was nicknamed "Weihou", he was still missing at this time. If the person recommended by Zhang Miao was really the person Qin Xu had in mind, it would be an excellent deal to buy one get one free.

"Puyang Sima Zhang Chao, meet Wen Hou!" In Lu Bu's handsome tent, a middle-aged man who was tall but dressed as a scribe and looked seven or eight points similar to Zhang Miao immediately bowed down and bowed after seeing Lu Bu.

"Zhong Zhuo doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly!" Lu Bu greeted Zhang Chao, but his eyes were fixed on the two people dressed as servants behind Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao is a person on the left, about forty years old, with a heroic appearance, a silent and deep gaze that seems to be able to see through people's hearts, although he is wearing a servant's outfit, he exudes a faint majesty all over his body, it is difficult to ignore his existence, which immediately made Lu Bu's eyes light up.

The person behind this person was slightly younger, about twenty years old, and his appearance was very similar to the former, his eyes were sharp, but his face was calm and respectful, giving people the feeling of a sharp sword that could be unsheathed at any time.

"Zhong Zhuo, who are the two strong men behind you?" Lu Bu guessed that the person recommended by Zhang Miao was most likely the one behind Zhang Chao, and asked with irrepressible surprise in his tone.

Zhang Chao turned sideways after saluting, and pointed to the two behind him: "These two people are the good talents recommended by my eldest brother to Wen Hou." The leader is the Gong Cao under the command of Guangling Taipunctuality, surnamed Tibetan name Hong Ziyuan, and then the son of Tibetan Hong, Zang Ba! ”

"Could it be that he initiated the Sour Jujube Association to discuss Dong Zhizanghong?" Lu Bu hadn't reacted yet, but Qin Xu's eyes lit up and he exclaimed.

Zhang Chao hadn't seen Qin Xu, he didn't know that this young man with a young face and dressed as a scribe dared to talk like this in front of Lu Bu, didn't he hear that Lu Bu had a son? However, seeing that Lu Bu didn't have the slightest unusual look at Qin Xu's interjection, Zhang Chao didn't dare to hold it up in secret surprise, and arched his hand: "Yes, it was Ziyuan who did it." ”

"Lord, the father and son of the Tibetan family are quite high, the tiger father and the tiger son, these two people recommended by Zhang Taishou will definitely become the right-hand man of the lord in the future!" Qin Xu said emotionally.

Because of Qin Xu's excited appearance, the tent was surprisingly quiet. Lu Bu had long been accustomed to Qin Xu's frequent startled performance, but Zhang Chao and the Zang father and son were confused by Qin Xu's daring to be so "presumptuous" in front of Lu Bu.

When did Lu Bu speak so well? Or does this young man have an unusual status in Lu Bu's heart? The father and son of the Tibetan clan nodded to each other secretly, and a big smile unfolded at Qin Xu.

"Wen Hou, these two people are extraordinary, indeed like this ...... cough cough said, but the identities of the two are a little ......" Zhang Chao still didn't know Qin Xu's identity, so he didn't dare to call him rashly, and covered it with a few coughs, but out of the friendship between Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, he still told the difficulties of the Zang father and son.

Qin Xu immediately understood why Zhang Miao was obviously serving in Cao Cao's army, but he recommended Zang Hong's father and son to Lu Bu. When the princes were discussing Dong, Zanghong Shouyi, entangled the heroes of the five counties in the sour jujube alliance, issued an edict, crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and was elected as the leader of the alliance, and then Yuan Shao and Cao Cao joined one after another, but in order to strengthen the momentum, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao picked the peaches of Shouyi and the alliance leader, and that's it. But the discord between the princes and the alliance made Zang Hong very angry, and he was therefore excluded and convicted, if it wasn't for his son Zang Ba to save him, I'm afraid he would have lost his life, no wonder Zang Hong had a bad impression of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but it was the original opponent, but later became the hero of Dong Bu Lu Bu has the heart to serve.

"I, Lu Bu, have the help of all the gentlemen, and use the red rabbit and Ma Fangtian to paint the halberd all over the world, why not be afraid of others, Bu can get Ziyuan Xuangao, it is really like a tiger with wings!" Lu Bu simply looked at the Zang father and son, the more pleasing he became, got up and came to the three of them, and laughed.
