Chapter Seventy-Two: Just Waiting for the Chaos to Arise
Since leaving Lu Bu's barracks, Zang Ba has been silent, seeing Lao Xu and other soldiers in the camp take out a few large packages like a trick, although he was curious about where Qin Xu's bursting confidence came from, but he was embarrassed to ask, so he could only watch Qin Xu find a small mountain bag that pursued Lu Bu on the way to go, and ordered the group to hide and ordered Lao Xu and others to crush these strange things into powder and put them in a clay pot the size of a baby's head, and wrapped these black powders on a piece of Caihou paper into thin strips, and fixed them with sealing mud, Just put it in the sun.
"Master Qin, this has been done for almost three hundred, and the clay pots stolen from the wounded barracks are almost used, so you can tell us what this thing is for, right?" Sima Mao rubbed his shoulders and asked with a wry smile: "Are we going to rely on these bottles and cans to deal with Cao Cao?" ”
"Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak." Qin Xu picked up a dry clay pot with satisfaction, smelled the long-lost medicinal fragrance, his face was full of intoxication, and said to Lao Xu and the others who were also curious with a mysterious face.
"Report!" Kong Erzi, who was sent out by Qin Xu to investigate, ran up in a sweat, his face full of anxiety.
"What? Cao Jun arrived so soon? Qin Xu was stunned for a moment, looked at the sun in the middle of the sky, according to the distance estimate, even Xiahou Yuan, who is known as a thousand miles in one day and one night, and is known as a divine general, should pass through here at least tonight if he goes all the way, not to mention the army led by Cao Cao himself, from Chenliu County to Jibei Kingdom, it is a thousand miles away, and it is impossible for them to catch up with Lu Bu so quickly. Lao Cao is a great expert in using soldiers, and he will never use a long-tired army to attack Lu Bu's 20,000 army.
"No, it's not Cao Jun, I, I'm looking carefully, it's definitely not Cao Jun!" Kong Er gasped for breath in a daze, and his speech was a little stumbling.
"Okay, you're stunned, it's not Cao Jun, why are you panicking?" Sima Mao kicked Kong Er's stunned buttocks, and said with a displeased face: "I see that you are going back more and more, what is the situation?" Gasp for breath. ”
"Oh!" Kong Er was stunned and nodded obediently, swallowed and spat fiercely, and said to Qin Xu: "Master Qin, in the direction of Shanyang County, Yanzhou, there are signs of a large number of people and horses, I took a few brothers to take a closer look, I am afraid that there are thousands of people, but the armor is not clear, and there is no way to judge which army is based on the banner." ”
"Huh? Towards Sanyo-gun? Chen Liu and Cao Jun from Puyang are coming here, and they won't pass by Shanyang at all, which part of the people will come to join in the fun? Lao Xu was also strange, patted the black ash on his hands, and wondered: "Could it be that Cao Jun's other armies were also transferred by Cao Cao?" ”
"Impossible!" Zang Ba suddenly interjected coldly, "Shanyang County is adjacent to Taishan County, and has been plagued by Taishan thieves for a long time, and the army is already insufficient. ”
"Xuan Gao's words are reasonable, how far are they from here?" After listening to Zang Ba's words, Qin Xu pondered for a moment and asked Kong Er stunned.
"It's less than forty miles." Kong Er was stunned with an anxious face, and said: "Master Qin, the person who came is not good, I think you should ride a fast horse to chase the lord, here are a few of our old brothers, and those three hundred prisoners, enough to resist them for a while, these people are not Cao Cao's guys, they can open up to you." ”
"Yes, Master Qin, there are thousands of people, when the time comes, if we rub against you, it will be strange if General Gao does not pull out our skin when he turns around." Sima Mao is also a posture of hard persuasion.
Qin Xu listened to Kong Er's stunned and Sima Mao's words, and he didn't know who told them Qin Xu made up these words in order to make Lu Bu agree, he patted Kong Er's stunned shoulder with a wry smile, and said to the two: "Since we left Chang'an, we have also experienced a lot of things together, when did you see me run away alone?" Besides, I'm not afraid of Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops, but I'm still afraid of his miscellaneous army that he doesn't dare to fight for thousands of banners? Well, don't talk about the useless ones, go see the captives. ”
Seeing Qin Xu's indifferent look, Lao Xu and the others were just fine, in their minds, if it really came, it would be a big deal to throw Qin Xu directly on the horse, and send someone to rescue him, as for what Qin Xu would think in the future, it was not within their consideration. But Zang Ba's gaze at Qin Xu was complicated, he didn't expect that this guy who relied on nepotism to get to the top was not only very popular in Lu Bu's army, but also a little bold at the critical moment.
"Brothers who went to camp first, are you ready?" Under the protection of Lao Xu and others, Qin Xu came to the place where the three hundred pioneers were in ambush not far away, and suddenly said, "I think you also know the news, this time Cao Cao used the army of 70,000 three ways to attack, and it is estimated that the banner is to rescue you, now, I will give you a chance!" ”
Seeing Qin Xu suddenly say such a thing, including Zang Ba, everyone was shocked, and they couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Qin Xu. Master Qin, this is going crazy? Saying these words at this time, if these captives are serious and suddenly break out, how can these dozen or so people present be the opponents of the three hundred tigers and wolves, purely looking for death.
Qin Xu didn't seem to see the discolored faces of the people around him, he still looked calm, and said, "You probably know who I am, I said before to save your life, and I did it!" Now I'm going to give you a chance, and that's definitely not fake! Here to the north, but a hundred miles, is the big river, after the big river, you will arrive in Jizhou, your home! Now, taking advantage of Cao Jun's absence, those who are willing to leave can go. ”
"Buzz ......"
Qin Xu's words suddenly made the lifeless soldiers of the Xiandeng camp talk in a low voice like boiling water, they all looked incredulous, looking at Qin Xu who was talking eloquently, I don't know what Qin Xu meant by saying this at this time.
"You've got ten breaths of time to think about it!" Qin Xu's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't look at the old Xu Zangba and the others who looked like they were facing a great enemy, and said lightly.
"Aren't you afraid that I will capture you and send you to Cao Gong for credit?" A sentence suddenly came from among the prisoners of the first camp, which immediately caused the previous buzz to be stagnant.
"Afraid? I'm scared! Qin Xu pushed away Lao Xu, who was blocking in front of him, and actually took a step forward, and said with a smile: "But are you afraid that it will be useful?" 70,000 against 20,000, the ghost knows that he can't win, so why bother with you accompanying us to die. If Qin can give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, what if it is to fulfill you? ”
"Master Qin!"
"Master Qin!"
Lao Xu Sima Mao and the others hurriedly said, but Qin Xu waved his hand to stop them, but instead took a step closer to the first camp to capture the soldiers, and said slowly in a voice that Qin Xu thought was extremely tempting: "Now that I am here, Cao Cao's army is dozens of miles away, what a good opportunity, what are you hesitating about?" What are you waiting for? ”
"This ......" Qin Xu's self-defeating appearance made a trace of hesitation flash on the faces of these elite people.
"Master Qin also underestimated me and waited! Under the first camp lieutenant, he swore not to be that ungrateful, and was willing to die with the master of Qin! Suddenly, it was the soldier of the first battalion who had just spoken out again, and said.
Tricks? Well, this first camp is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, first Zhang Nan is missing, even the general under the command of Yuan Shang in history, and then for Cao Cao to entrust the border affairs, guarding the northern frontier, so that Xianbei has not dared to go south for decades The general is also in the first camp.
"Yes, Master Qin forced Chen to spare our lives in front of General Lu, how can we be a good man in Yongliang and Hebei, how can we do such an ungrateful act, there is just death, why am I afraid!" The voices of more and more soldiers who had ascended the battalion echoed the words of the man just now, and the crowd was excited for a while.
"Good! Since the righteousness of the monarchs comes first, I, Qin, do not dare to weaken the names of the monarchs who are the first to ascend to the name of the dead! Qin Xu said loudly: "If I don't die in this battle, no matter whether you and I are friends or enemies in the future, I, Qin Xu, am willing to be brothers with you!" ”
"About brothers! Live and die together! ”
"About brothers! Live and die together! ”
A roar sounded when he ascended to the camp first, and Lao Xu, Sima Mao and the others who followed behind Qin Xu were all shocked, and even Zang Ba was full of surprise. What's going on? How simple is it? In this case, it only took a few words to make these strong and brave men give up the best choice, and instead were willing to die with Qin Xu, who was still an enemy before. Today, Zang Ba's perception of Qin Xu is like a roller coaster, which makes Zang Ba feel more and more unable to see through this young master's book.
Qin Xu looked at the fanatical eyes of these people in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Joke! My buddy was also a "successful person" in the business world in his previous life, and a person with full marks in business psychology! And at the end of the Han Dynasty, although the etiquette collapsed, but still attached great importance to faithfulness, for a strong army after the commander was captured, the whole battalion was willing to be captured, the word righteousness must be their primary creed. This is simply a gamble that is destined to win, just work Lu Yi, this first battalion, known as the nightmare of light cavalry, will become another strong army under Lu Bu.
"Okay, since your brothers can afford to look down on Qin, even if Qin does his best, he can't make Cao Cao underestimate me!" Morale was available, Qin Xu said loudly: "I order, lead the move!" ”
"In!" He replied loudly.
"Order you to lead the camp with more flags, hide in the forest, think that the suspicious army, and when the change under the mountain is about to rise, they will kill together!" Qin Xu ordered.
"No!" Zhao replied firmly.
"Mutation?" Sima Mao was originally deliberately saying that the unknown miscellaneous army that Kong Erzi had probed before was Cao Cao's army for Qin Xu, but now he heard Qin Xu say that there would be a change in Lao Shizi, and he was confused.
"Not bad!" Qin Xu nodded with an unfathomable look, arranged the matter of going to the camp first, and said to Zang Ba: "When the time comes, with the help of Captain Zang's bravery, he and Lao Xu will lead five soldiers who are trapped in the camp, and when the enemy army is in chaos, the thief will capture the king first!" ”
"No!" A trace of solemnity flashed in Zang Ba's eyes, nodded heavily, and answered loudly with Lao Xu!
