Chapter 54: Yuan Shao's "Gift"

The disappearance of Zhang Nan, the captain of the Xiandeng battalion, made Qin Xu a little worried about Yuan Shaojun's next move.

Judging from Fengji's arrangement, Yuan Shao already knew that in the Yecheng Rebellion, there was Lu Bujun's harmony.

That is, now Yuan Shaozheng Gongsun Zan lost, and the loss of Yecheng hurt some vitality, and for the time being, he did not have the strength and confidence to clean up Lu Bu, and the people of Jizhou were abundant, and the war was less. Yecheng is the economic and political center of the entire Hebei, if you wait for Yuan Shao to slow down, things will not be easy to say.

"You kid is too careful, Yuan Shao'er, don't come to Hanoi, if you dare to come, I, Lu Bu, will let him come." Lu Bu scoffed at Qin Xu's worries, and said impatiently: "Our army has been bothering Uncle Zhi for a long time, and I am worried that there is nowhere to go, so I think Jizhou is good." ”

This temper, no wonder it is so powerful in history, but it is chased around.

Qin Xu's worries, Lu Bu didn't care too much, the siege of more than 200 Xiandeng Camp Dead soldiers, plus Yuan Shaojun's secret weapon Xiandeng Jin crossbow did not make the flying general rub a little oily skin, Lu Bu has arrogant capital.

"Daddy, when Yuan Shao comes, will I accompany you to resist the enemy? Failed to catch up several times! Qin Xu was having a headache, but Lu Lingqi came to make trouble.

"Miss, my little aunt, don't make a mess, okay?" Qin Xu smiled bitterly, since Lu Bu vaguely expressed his intentions, Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi talked a lot more casually.

"Who made the mess? The matter of Yecheng was not completed! This time, it didn't work out in a hurry! I'm suffocating! It's all your fault! Lu Lingqi pursed her lips, glanced at Qin Xu, and said dissatisfiedly.

"I ......" The temperament of the father and daughter is simply carved out of a mold, they are both violent elements who advocate force, which makes Qin Xu cry and laugh.

"Okay Ling'er, don't be as knowledgeable as this kid, good!" Lu Bu finally could understand Qin Xu's hard work, comforted his daughter a few words, and asked Qin Xu: "You were the one who persuaded me to go to Hanoi in the first place, and you have only been here for a few months, and you have caused so many things, how do you want to toss it?" ”

Lu Bu's words can choke people to death, who tosses whom? Qin Xu was slandered in his heart, but in order not to joke with his life, seeing that Lu Bu actually had the intention of annexing Jizhou, he said to Lu Bu with a wry smile: "The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, so they can't compete with them for a while; Although Yuan Shao was not long in Jizhou, the big families in the state were attached to him, and his comprehensive strength was extremely strong; In the matter of Yecheng, although our army has gained a lot, it is still difficult to move Yuan Shao's muscles and bones, and the lord must not take it lightly. ”

"It's better to go back to the state! It's been a long time since I left. And the state produces good horses, and it is the hometown of our army, so Yuan Shao did not dare to attack. Lu Bu touched Lu Ling's long hair, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, and said, "When Ling'er followed me out of the state, she was not sensible, and she was so old in a blink of an eye. ”

Seeing that Lu Bu was changing to the color of a loving father again, Qin Xu had a black line on his head and hurriedly said: "Lord, Yuan Shao has coveted and merged with the state for a long time, and he has already infiltrated it for many years. And the state is tired, surrounded by enemies, and has been ravaged by Montenegro for a long time, which is by no means useful. And Ding Jianyang ......"

"Say no more!" When Lu Bu heard Ding Yuan's name, his face sank, he sighed, and said, "After this matter, what does the old fox beside you think?" ”

Seeing Lu Bu's tone of not far away, Qin Xu also didn't ask any questions, and heard Lu Bu mention Jia Xu, it seems that although Lu Bu doesn't care about Chang'an's loss, he is actually a little unconvinced in his heart. Qin Xu smiled bitterly and said, "I originally persuaded Mr. Wenhe to join our army, but ......"

"Okay, okay, being by your side is no different from my army, and I have saved a lot of money!" Lu Bu pursed his lips, stopped Qin Xu's explanation, and said, "I want to see what kind of tricks the guy who can make my Lu Bu suffer." Say it. ”

Lu Lingqi didn't know about Qin Xu and Jia Xu, and she also looked at Qin Xu with a curious expression.

Qin Xu smiled bitterly, Jia Xu had mentioned a bold strategy, but the risk of this strategy and the low success rate were so low that even he, the number one poisoner in the late Han Dynasty, bluntly said that he was not completely sure that he could succeed, not to mention that now there was a dispute between Lu Bu and Yuan Shao. But now that Lu Bu asked, Qin Xu had no choice but to say: "Mr. Jia's strategy is to persuade the lord to send troops to Hanoi, and order the first general to blitz the two thieves and feint to attack Chang'an. ”

"Huh?" After listening to Qin Xu's relays of Jia Xu's strategy, Lu Bu showed a gleam in his eyes, and kept smacking his lips, saying, "It is worthy of being an old fox who can make me Lu Bu suffer a big loss." It is rumored that Shu has the spirit of the Son of Heaven, in the past, Han Gaozu was named the king of Hanzhong, according to Shu to peek into the world, Jia Xu is persuading me to rebel! ”

"Lord!?" Qin Xu saw Lu Bu's move, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Wenhe's plan is extremely dangerous, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, governing the people with teaching, the army's heart is extremely solid, and he occupies the advantages of mountains and rivers, and our army has no express order from the imperial court, so it is captured, and it is difficult to rule peacefully in three or five years; And Shu is mountainous, access is by the plank road, several Xiongguan are built according to the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack! Moreover, although there are few wars here, the people are rich, and it is called the country of abundance, but there are many barbarians around, and the customs and people are very different from the Central Plains, if our army does not have a detailed map and the right time, only with more than 20,000 people in our army, brazenly invaded, it is not a few years of work, and the number of victories and defeats is really unpredictable! Don't forget, whether it's a surprise attack on Chang'an or a raid on Hanzhong, the rear of our army will be exposed, and the two thieves Yuan Shao and Li Yan won't sit idly by! ”

"Since that's the case, then I have to figure it out slowly." Lu Bu originally heard Jia Xu's strategy, and looked very interested, but after listening to Qin Xu's analysis, although he was quite disappointed, he still kept Qin Xu's words in his heart.

"Report! Lord, Hanoi Zhang Taishou has a letter package delivered! ”

Just as Qin Xu and Lu Bu were discussing the feasibility of Jia Xu's plan, Song Xian suddenly said outside the account.

"Come in!" Lu Bu motioned to Qin Xu to gallop all night, and at this time, Lu Lingqi, who was drowsy, helped the road to rest on the marching bed, and called Song Xian in.

Qin Xu didn't think much about it, seeing that Lu Lingqi was sleepy, he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he didn't say anything more and took Lu Lingqi from Lu Bu's arms.

"No!" Song Xian heard Lu Bu's call, hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered the handsome tent, and at first glance, he saw Qin Xu's move of picking up Lu Lingqi horizontally and putting him on the marching bed, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart. Dare to hold the baby daughter of the old Lu family in front of the flying general, what else is there to be unconvinced? Don't lose anything if you're soft!

But fortunately, Song Xian was much calmer and more cautious after what happened last night, and pretended not to see Qin Xu's actions at the moment, respectfully handed over the fire seal and package in his hand to Lu Bu, and stood aside with his hands down, not squinting.

"Huh? What does Yuan Benchu want to do? After Lu Bu checked that the fire paint was correct, he glanced at it a few times, opened the package again, and when he saw the things inside, he was very surprised and said, "Qin Xu, you come to see this!" ”

Just covered Lu Lingqi with a thin blanket, Qin Xu was staring at the dark red blood stains on the sleeves of Song Xian's shirt who was standing with his head held high, thinking that this big brother wouldn't be so afraid that Lu Bu would torture Wei Xu, so he would do it so quickly, right? I saw Lu Bu hand over Zhang Yang's letter.

Qin Xu didn't notice Song Xian's "sure enough" look, he took the letter in his hand, and after reading it, he looked at the things in Lu Bu's hand, and the surprise in his eyes was no less than that of Lu Bu.

How so?

The secret letter in Qin Xu's hand was actually forwarded by Zhang Yang, the newly released Che Cavalry General led Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao, and played Lu Bu's recital for General Zuo to lead Qingzhou Mu, as well as the appointment edict stamped with a bright red jade seal, and in the package, it turned out to be a gold seal three inches long and two and a half inches wide!

What's going on? Lu Bu had a strange look on his face.

Lao Yuan is too unreasonable, right?

The front foot just looted his Yecheng, causing Yuan Shang and the two Yecheng guards to be taken away by the Black Mountain thieves, and killed him more than 200 first-timers last night, it is estimated that Xu Youfeng Ji who stayed in Huaicheng has also been caught by Zhang Liaochenglian and other generals who stayed behind, and when he was thinking about how to deal with Yuan Shao's ensuing crazy revenge, Zhang Yang sent this! It's so counterintuitive!

LΓΌ Bu was originally invited by Wang Yun to play the emperor because of his meritorious service to Dong and was named General Fenwu. Although this general title is also extremely high, it is not the title in the permanent general sequence of the Han Dynasty, although it has some military power, it is only an additional officer in wartime, similar to the chief army, and can be removed at any time. It was also a means for Wang Yun to restrain Lu Bu at that time.

But General Zuo is different, he is the title of a senior general of the Han Dynasty, with a golden seal and purple ribbon, second only to Shangqing, but he can have his own army and can garrison troops in one place. In other words, with this title of general and the edict of appointment from the imperial court, Lu Bu officially became one of the princes of the late Han Dynasty, and was no longer just a casual talk.

After checking the authenticity, Lu Bu's face was even more incredible, since Lu Bu abandoned Chang'an, let alone add officials, it is not certain whether the position of General Fenwu, who was originally sealed, can still be recognized by the imperial court controlled by Li Dao and Guo Yan. But it is obvious that the jade seal and the gold seal on the edict of appointment are genuine.

Yuan Shao is crazy? Or is there something else going on? However, it was Qin Xu who first woke up from this unbelievable thing and asked Song Xiandao: "General Song, do you have anything to explain about these things sent by Zhang Taishou?" Like, where do these things come from? And how do you find it? ”

"Master Qin's book is really discerning!" Song Xian praised Qin Xu first, bowed down and said to Lu Bu: "Lord, Zhang Taishou sent an entourage, which was sent together with the sergeants who stayed in Hanoi with our army, saying that it was a gift from the two distinguished guests in the barracks to the lord. ”

"Sure enough!" Qin Xu and Lu Bu looked at each other and smiled. With Yuan Shao's soft-eared temperament, it is indeed possible to make back-hand preparations. Without even thinking about it, Qin Xu knew Yuan Shao's plans. At the beginning, Yuan Shao may have wanted to subdue Lu Bu for his own use, and the high-ranking officials were kind enough to win over Lu Bu, and he could rescue Yuan Shang from the Black Mountain thieves at worst; But when Feng Ji passed back the truth that Lu Bu attacked Yecheng secretly, resulting in the damage to the army, and the baby son Yuan Shang and the two Yecheng guards were taken away by the Black Mountain thieves, he couldn't wait to kill Lu Bu alive, and how could he give Lu Bu the slightest benefit. Eighty percent of these edicts and golden seals were found by Zhang Liaochenglian when he suddenly arrested Feng Ji and Xu You.

"The original good intentions, how to deal with Budang?" Lu Bu couldn't put down the golden seal, and asked without raising his head.

"Yuan Shao is estimated to lose his official position and lose his territory this time!" Qin Xu said with a smile: "Since Yuan Shao gave the lord a huge Qingzhou for nothing, why didn't the lord take it?" ”
