If life is only as it first sees, this sentence is not only for lovers. For example, Cao Cao to Qin Xu.

For capable people, Cao Cao has always admired it very much, and it is not an exaggeration to call it love as life. After seeing Qin Xu's "ability", especially after suffering a few big losses, he took a lot of effort to solicit him. But seeing that Qin Xu was faintly regarded as the number one enemy by his own family step by step, but had to temporarily push Lu Bu, who was a snake to the position of Xuzhou Thorn History, was not a "bargaining chip" that he could come up with at all, the so-called love and hatred were extremely hateful, and he also had a little more strange thoughts about Qin who was only as old as his son at this age, but who had already become a "colleague" of the Han Dynasty.

The previous time because of Ma Teng Han Sui, after the chaos in Chang'an, Cao Cao, who wanted to achieve great things, was helplessly trapped in Tongguan and could not advance an inch. But at this time, someone from Qin, who Cao Cao simply loved and hated, came, and in the name of escorting his own son Cao Ang, he insisted on using this "legitimate reason" to "break his promise" that Qingzhou would not interfere that day, and intervened in this matter, although he only brought about 20 people here.

In fact, Cao Cao didn't take Qin Xu's arrival seriously at first, he just thought about using the strategy of killing Yuan Shao to attract Yuan Shao's "firepower" to the Qingzhou forces behind Qin Xu, and it was enough to be a shield. Anyway, tens of thousands of people can't capture Tongguan, is it possible that Qin someone's twenty or so people can capture it as soon as they arrive? Immortal? Maybe with Yuan Shao's 100,000 soldiers and horses, he should almost rely on the strength of the crowd to achieve full success, right? Although Yuan Shao's plan is very big. There must also be a dispute between himself and Yuan Shao, but that is also after the salvation of the Son of Heaven. In particular, Cao Ang, the eldest son who was pinned on high hopes, brought a "secret weapon" that was enough to counter Yuan Shao. Cao Cao felt that he was already fearless, and victory was in sight.

But God made a big joke with Cao Cao. Just when Yuan Shao's vanguard general Yan Liang focused his provocative eyes on Qin Xu, whose strength was almost infinitely close to zero compared to several companies in the field at that time, and wanted to use Qin Xu to deter Cao Cao, Cao Cao chose to remain silent. Just to see how Qin Xu, who has always been optimistic about himself and has reversed the market several times in a row, will deal with the difficult things that Yan Liang said are almost murderous. How it will react is just a matter of fun. Unexpectedly, Qin Xu's actions really made Cao Cao unable to laugh. Not only did a horse break through the pass. forced himself to continue to raise his salary in the determined killing strategy, and he also obtained a Xiliang fierce general and an elite unit of 3,000 Xiliang iron horses, not to mention a lot of money, now he has face. And Cao Cao, the biggest promoter behind the scenes, gave Qin Xu fame. But it almost fell to the point of negative teaching materials.

Seeing that Qin Xu was facing Yuan Shao head-on because of Yan Liang's unprovoked provocation before, Cao Cao was simply very happy. Whether it was Yuan Shao, who was not good, suppressed Qin Xu, or Qin Xu, who benefited a lot, forced Yuan Shao, in fact, the biggest right-hand man was his old Cao. Therefore, just when Yuan Shao intended to "provoke" Qin Xu but was forced into a corner by Qin Xu's words and wanted to kill someone, Cao Cao originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the "tiger" fight. Unexpectedly, he accidentally touched the silk letter brought back by Cao Ang in his sleeve that clearly stated Yuan Shu's ambition. After seeing Qin Xu's fearless calm face, he had other plans.

This kind of thing, Qin Xu and his Lao Cao have different effects when they say it. In the final analysis, although Qin Xu and Lu Bujun had provoked Yuan Shao several times and took advantage of it, the two families did not have a bitter hatred, and Lu Bu's positions as Qingzhou Mu and General Zuo were still "sent" by Yuan Shao to the court, and he turned a corner and said that Lu Bu could still be regarded as a great benefactor who avenged the old Yuan family. As long as Qin Xu made this matter clear, he revealed a little bit that Qingzhou and Xuzhou had the heart to join Yuan Shao to deal with Yuan Shu, who was regarded by Yuan Shao as the rebellious Yuan family and the biggest enemy of the family, and had the heart and ability to hold the artifact of the country and wanted to "do other things", then he wanted to come to the overall situation of the Yuan family master who did great things and sacrificed his life, and saw the small profit and died, plus Xuzhou bordered Yuan Shu's territory, but it was far more than thousands of miles away from Yuan Shao's camp, and the temptation of that divine object, it was impossible to say that Cao Cao's understanding of his old friend would forget the past in person, with Qingzhou to rebuild in a good thing, Lao Yuan is not unable to do it.

But in this way, it was his Cao Cao's Yanzhou that suffered in the end. This time to rescue the Son of Heaven, unless Cao Cao really came with a heart to save the king, and did not have the slightest selfishness to mix with it, he would inevitably agree to Yuan Shao, who wanted to attack and pick peaches, and had a dislike. At that time, Cao Cao had already paid great attention to Cao Cao by only facing Qingzhou, if he added Yuan Shao of Jizhou, who knew him very well, and Qin Xu of Xuzhou, who was defeated several times, and Yuan Shu, one of the three evils of Luoyang who held a grudge against him, his old Cao's Yanzhou would really face the point of attacking from all sides. This is definitely not something that someone Cao, who has a high degree of military attainment, would want to happen.

Therefore, when he saw that Yuan Shao intended to release the water and give Yan Liang the opportunity to kill Qin Xu by mistake, Cao Cao, who was still hesitating, had to use the guise of righteousness to persuade the two of them to relieve Qin Xu's mortal siege. Even in order to save Qin Xu, Lao Cao even exposed his own guards who were quite secret, and had to pinch his nose, saying that these knife and axe hands were Xiliang soldiers, in order to eliminate Yuan Shao's misunderstanding, but also to advertise his personality charm. Otherwise, how can you explain that you dare to meet Yuan Shao and Qin Xu in the military tent alone without the guards? This "deal", no matter whether he can successfully rescue the Son of Heaven in the end and move to Xu County, he Cao has already lost a lot of capital first.

And Yuan Shao, who has been in the dark and doesn't understand why his friends "value" the kid in front of him so much, after being persuaded by Cao Cao in the name of righteousness, he actually admires himself very much, thinking that this is the basis for great things. Just imagine, anyone who is bullied by an arrogant boy who is no different from himself regardless of family background, fame, status, strength, and even age can still take big things as a priority, calmly discuss military affairs all morning, just this endurance. Or call it righteousness and show bearing, except for the ancient sages, who can compare to him Yuan Benchu? Although someone from the left and right Qin is named Xuzhou Thorn History. In fact, it is also a small role, and the current situation is really not suitable for a war with Qingzhou immediately, at least you have to wait for the successful takeover of the Son of Heaven, right? Seeing that Cao Cao gave a big step, Yuan Shao was also happy to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and after the big event was decided, he would plan the future. It's just that Yuan Shao was quite angry before. But he is also a soldier who knows the army, otherwise it would be impossible to dominate Hebei at the moment, although he believes that Cao Cao's frontal attack is an excuse to persuade the two to make peace. But seeing that Cao Cao was more serious, he couldn't help frowning and expressed his worries.

Although Cao Cao has been pressing Yuan Shao since he was young. But Yuan Shao was reluctant to admit that Cao Cao was stronger than himself. Cao Cao, who couldn't even conquer Tongguan. But he is so confident in attacking Chang'an, which has thick walls, sufficient soldiers and food, and no chaos inside, that he has to mutter in anyone's heart.

"The original worry was nothing but the 200,000 soldiers and horses in the city! But in the eyes of Cao, although the 200,000 soldiers and horses were numerous, they regarded them as if they were nothing! Seeing that after he "settled" Yuan Shao, even Qin Xu became honest, and he became a good baby for the first time, without saying a word, without the slightest domineering appearance. Cao Cao couldn't guess what the hell Qin was thinking in someone's heart, and saw Yuan Shao ask. said with a smile: "I also knew that in the west of Chang'an, the two families of Ma Teng and Han Sui and the two thieves have been stuck for nearly two months without success, and the loss is quite large and the day when the food is exhausted will definitely not be long." And the two thieves were originally allies with the two before, so they naturally deeply understood that the soldiers in the army of these two people were made up of a mixture of Qiang and Han, if the food was sufficient, they could fight to the death with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry for two months without retreating, and their combat power would go without saying, but once the food was exhausted, or even when the food was scarce, it was bound to be chaotic, if we were the people in Chang'an City who deeply understood the military habits of the two people, what would we do? ”

"Naturally, he took advantage of the situation to go out of the city to exterminate it, needless to say! But so what? Then the two thieves of Li Dao and Guo Yan will not devote all the troops of the city to hunt down and kill those two people, and leave an empty city for us to wait, right? After Cao Cao said that, Yuan Shao followed up and said, I don't understand what is the use of Cao Cao talking about these at this time, is it possible that Li Dao and Guo Yan are both fools?

"What if Ma Teng and Han Sui knew that they had become the end of a strong crossbow and that they couldn't wear Lu Min, so they still wanted to forcibly attack the city regardless of their already low morale?" Since he had already torn his face with Yuan Shao, Qin Xu's words naturally did not make Yuan Shao feel as warm as a spring breeze, seeing that Yuan Shao finished speaking, Qin Xu sneered and said.

"Qin Xuzhou was given the foundation by Tao Gongzu at a young age, so I think he hasn't led the troops alone, right? Lu Fengxian is a hero, but he is also relieved to be scared, no matter what, today I will teach you that when you command the army, if the food is exhausted, if you don't retreat quickly, it will be very easy to shake the heart of the army and give birth to the camp roar, let alone the siege of the city, that is, if you can run three percent in the field without crushing, you will already be the elite of the elite! Think about the day that will be the first to go to camp...... Hum! Yuan Shao originally wanted to be a good teacher, and take this opportunity to sarcastically mock someone Qin, and by the way, he was disgusted and disgusted by Lu Bu, who Qingzhou didn't even say thank you, but unexpectedly, the addiction of the lesson was smooth, until he saw the strange faces on Qin Xu and Cao Cao's faces, he suddenly realized his gaffe, and quickly stopped talking, but the embarrassment and anger on his face could not be suppressed. But I forgot that most of the 800 soldiers of the first battalion who are now praised and proud by themselves have surrendered to this kid in front of them!

"Originally, he was also kind-hearted, and Zhong Ming must know it well! But at the beginning, what Zhong Ming said was also reasonable! Seeing that Yuan Shao was actually made out of shape by his own blurted out words, Cao Cao hurriedly took the topic away, and said before Yuan Shao opened his mouth: "As I said before, it has only been a few hours since we broke through the Tong Pass, and it was a fluke that someone escaped and returned to Chang'an to report the news, so that the two thieves of Li Dao and Guo Yan were prepared, and they will definitely defend the defense of the city gate from which we came." After all, you and I have more than 100,000 troops, and the two thieves are also a knowing soldier, and they must know the principle of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800. I will definitely not give up a great advantage, abandon the city and fight with us in the field, and will definitely gather troops to guard against our army, so that we will have a chance! ”

"Meng De, what does this have to do with whether Ma Teng Han Sui will attack Chang'an again? Could it be that you want to contact them, and let's attack Chang'an from both sides? But it's hard to say whether they have the strength to fight again at this time. Yuan Shao seemed to understand something, seeing Qin Xu's non-stop nodding, and Qin Xu had already seen the "joke" back to Qin Xu just now, Yuan Shao was much more rigorous this time, thought for a while, and suddenly flashed a little joy on his face, and said: "Could it be that Meng De meant that it was us who left suspicious soldiers to attract the attention of the two thieves, but in fact, they secretly took advantage of the fact that the news of the fall of Tongguan had not spread, and quietly turned to the direction of the West Gate of Chang'an, under the pretext that Ma Teng Han Sui, who had been not paid much attention to by the defenders of the West Gate, attacked him unprepared?!" ”

"I really knew what I was doing!" The corners of Cao Cao's mouth hooked slightly, looked at Qin Xu's frowning face, looked at Yuan Shao and said with a smile: "The one who is difficult to decide now is the popularity of this suspicious general, who must not only have an identity that can attract the attention of the two thieves, but also have the ability to wit and change, but it is difficult to live!" ”

Qin Xu: "......! (To be continued......)
