Chapter 159 Lu Bu on Xuzhou, Qingzhou Soldiers
PS: I still thank the big beauty of "Snow Lotus Fragrance in the Night", and I insist on swiping the screen every day to reward and support it! I can't thank you enough!!
Although the six counties and three places in Qingzhou have just been pacified, the people's hearts have not yet stabilized, and it is time for spring ploughing, it is indeed not suitable for another war, and the people's power is wasted in vain; But as Jia Xu said, this does not affect Lu Bujun's earning of some "extra money" outside Qingzhou. This year's catastrophe is coming, non-human can be stopped, although Qingzhou has been prepared, but still needs a large amount of grain to survive the famine, because of the Mi family, Xuzhou can already be said to be Qingzhou's granary and treasury, absolutely not to be lost, otherwise the loss to Qingzhou is definitely not small, not to mention that Tao Qian also generously paid 100,000 stone grain "labor fees" isn't it? A sure-fire deal!
"It seems that this time Kan Xuan made a lot of trouble. Tao Gongzu is already panicking! Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and he would have asked the lord for help! Qin Xu ignored Jia Xu's ridicule of Qin Xu's nickname of "strategist and trafficker", and tacitly agreed that he was indeed very satisfied with Jia Xu's "gift", and said with a smile: "I guess this middle Wenhe must have contributed a lot, right?" Otherwise, why didn't Tao Qian ask for help from Liu Miao in Yangzhou and Cao Cao in Yanzhou? On the contrary, he sent someone who was familiar with Mr. Wenhe to Qingzhou, and asked the lord to send troops to relieve the siege through this small master book, although the 100,000 stone grain and grass are not much for Xuzhou, but after all, it is also a large amount of military funds, who is not greedy for it! Where is the need for such trouble? ”
"What can I do! It's just a hand-push! Jia Xu smiled faintly, noncommittal to Qin Xu's words. After a slight pause, he said: "That Xuzhou is south of Yangzhou, and Liu Miao is just the master of Shoucheng." There is also a rebellion of thieves, and they are still too busy to take care of themselves, and they are powerless to help each other; Although Cao Cao is powerful, he is currently going all out to suppress Yuan Shu, and his troops are empty, so he will definitely not draw troops at this moment. Although Qingzhou had the Beihai Rebellion before, the state border was also initially unstable. But after all, the vitality is not injured, and now apart from General Lu, who else can he Tao Gongzu ask for? ”
"It seems that the lord is going to send troops to help both public and private this time?" Qin Xu snorted lightly. sneered and said: "That Tao Qian is also smart, presumably knowing that the Mi family has a great relationship with Qingzhou, and Mi Fang is an official in Qingzhou, so he sent this Guangling Taishou Zhao Yu, who has nothing to do with Qingzhou, as an envoy." The meaning of it is inevitable that there is a knife in the soft! It's just that he never imagined it. This Zhao Yu has a wide range of friends, not only has two highs like Tao Qian who refused to help him several times, but he is also familiar with Mr. Wenhe, but he is a mistake. ”
"Oh, the wisdom of Master Qin's book, it's really hard to reach, and he can even think of this, it's really talented and intelligent!" Jia Xu said loudly with an exaggerated face. The meaning of ridicule is fully revealed.
"Mr. Wenhe is a good calculator, but it made Qin almost make a big fool!" remembered that as soon as he entered the living room of Jia Xu's mansion. looked inexplicable about the three of them being "hungry and thirsty", and said angrily: "Please ask Mr. Wenhe to tell Mr. Zhao Taishou and Mr. Erzhang that it is okay for Xu to persuade the lord to send troops, but in addition to Tao Qian's 100,000 stone grain, I also ask the three talents to teach in the Qingzhou Reopened Jixia School Palace for a year, and one less person doesn't want the lord to agree!" ”
Since one of the three of Zhao Yu is an official under Tao Qian, and the other is a wise man from Xuzhou, and he was once the team selected by Emperor Ling for Liu Xie, it is estimated that it is not ordinarily difficult to persuade him to become an official in Qingzhou. can only use the strategy to stabilize these three people first, and then slowly figure it out in the future. Compared with the weak Sun Ce forces in history and the chaos in Jiangdong where there were few wars and families, although Qingzhou was also in the land of four wars, after all, there was such a thriving and powerful force as Lu Bujun, and I believe that the final choice of these three people must be satisfactory.
"No! Xu Zi should convey the meaning of Qin's main book! Seeing that Qin Xu didn't take his "flattery" seriously at all, Jia Xu nodded, brushed himself clean between his words, and responded with a smile.
"My lord, that's the way it is. According to the news of the shadow of Mr. Wenhe's subordinates, now Xuzhou Xiapi people Kan Xuan gathered thousands of people to rise up, claiming to be the Son of Heaven, and the rest of the Yellow Turban in Xuzhou counties catered to, and the force developed to nearly 80,000 people, breaking through Donghai, Surabaya, Pengcheng Xiaopei and other counties, the army pointed directly at Xiapi City, except for Langya County near Qingzhou, Xiapi City has no way to ask for help, Lao Tao is a numb claw this time. After leaving Jia Xu's mansion, Qin Xu didn't have time to go back to his new mansion, went straight to Lu Bu's mansion, and told Lu Bu what happened in Jia Xu's mansion today, and finally said with a sneer: "This time, Lao Tao Ken sent 100,000 stones of grain and grass to ask the lord to send troops to help, but it was Zhao Yu, the Taishou of Guangling, who was reporting on his work in Xiapi, maybe the Mi family's actions had already been known to Tao Qian, and this time he also vaguely asked my Qingzhou for the reward that he had been turning a blind eye to the Mi family and Qingzhou's actions before!" ”
"Tao Qian dares to use the Mi family to blackmail Yu?" Sure enough, as Qin Xu expected, Lu Bu didn't care much about whether Xiapi City was broken or not, and even if it weren't for the Mi family's continuous delivery of grain and grass coins to Qingzhou, it was estimated that he would not be able to enter Lu Bu's eyes, but he was very annoyed by Tao Qian's not very authentic methods this time, and sneered: "Could it be that this Tao Qian really thinks that Qingzhou will collapse without the Mi family?" Dare to use such tricks against a certain person, a certain person still missed the friendship of the same Dahan Prefecture County before, and sent troops to help each other, since this is the case, this time a certain will really not send troops! I want to see if he can use other tricks on the day when he Tao Qian breaks Picheng! ”
"The Lord is angry!" Qin Xu smiled bitterly at Lu Bu, who seemed to be a cannon battle lit by fire, and only smiled bitterly at his old father-in-law's astonishing wisdom and sometimes completely based on his preferences, and hurriedly said: "Tao Qian did a little bit not very authentic this time, and anyone would be annoyed if he changed." But the lord and don't bet on the development of our Qingzhou and him. Although the Mi family is in Xuzhou, they are doing things for me Qingzhou wholeheartedly, and all the money obtained from Haiyan is exchanged for grain to Linzi through its trade network, which can be regarded as a contribution to the development of my Qingzhou. This matter was known to Tao Qian, and he would inevitably use it to blackmail, which was expected. If the Lord turns a blind eye, I am afraid it will be detrimental to those who have the heart to join him! ”
"Then will the old man Tao Qian's treacherous plan succeed?" After listening to Qin Xu's words, Lu Bu snorted coldly and said, "There must be one and there must be two." This time Tao Qian got the benefit, if there is another incident in Xuzhou next time, will he still have to run errands? He's so calculating! ”
"What the lord said is very true!" Seeing that Lu Bu's words had been brought to what he and Jia Xu had said before. Qin Xu struck while the iron was hot and said: "Xuzhou is different from the barrenness of Qingzhou, it is one of the important grain producing areas in the Central Plains, although there are many wars, and it is close to Yuzhou, which is ravaged by the yellow scarf, but with the foundation of Danyang's elite soldiers, it is really a coveted place." ”
"You kid don't be sloppy! Although Xuzhou is good, it belongs to the same place of four wars as Qingzhou. At present, the affairs of Qingzhou Prefecture have not been adjusted, the counties and counties have not been stabilized, and the strength of our army is already stretched thin. If it is said to be for the sake of the 100,000 stone of grain. Sending a battalion of troops to help a group of Tao Qian can barely cope, if you have the heart to hold Xuzhou in my hands, not to mention the loss of combat power in the three counties and three places of Xuzhou, even if it is defeated. It is also difficult to have such a large number of troops to defend. Not to mention where did so many officials come from to govern? As soon as Qin Xu's words fell, Lu Bu had already heard what Qin Xu meant, why could Yuan Shao occupy the two states of Ji and Erzhou, and even the two thieves of Li Dao and Guo Yan also possessed Yongliang, but he Lu Bu now has the opportunity to control the two states of Qingxu but not take it? Although he was also quite moved by the meaning of Qin Xu's words, Lu Bu finally gained the upper hand with reason, and he was speechless. Said helplessly.
"The lord is thinking about it!" Qin Xu saw that Lu Bu was so tempted, but he was not stunned by the big fat meat of Xuzhou as in history. Suddenly there was a feeling that he wanted to laugh three times, and said to Lu Bu: "Xu naturally knows that with the 20,000 soldiers under the command of the current lord, it is indeed a little unsafe to take the opportunity to take Xuzhou, but it is better to use other ways to achieve the same results. Tao Qiannian has passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and his two sons are all busy people, and now the chaos in Xuzhou has appeared, presumably those ministers under Tao Qian's command also have people with budding thoughts, right? ”
"Didn't this Tao Qian just connived at the eldest son, because you made a joke about the Yellow Turban Hunting and Killing Order of Raushzi? You kid hold a grudge like that? Lu Bu was a little moved when he heard what Qin Xu said, and he pretended to mutter, and said with a smile: "That's it, since you and your retainer Jia Wenhe have already planned, if you don't agree, it will inevitably let the old fox work empty, so you will get your wish!" Which battalion are you going to send to go? Lao Gao or Zhang Liao? ”
"The trapping camp is the elite ace in the main public army, and it needs to sit in Linzi for maneuvering, in case Cao Cao breaks the contract again, although his eldest son Cao Ang is at Cai Zhonglang's place, he also has to guard against it; General Wenyuan's cavalry battalion had to be stationed on the plains to guard against Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and it was not appropriate to move lightly with Xu's intentions. Seeing that Lu Bu just said that Tao Qian was not authentic and refused to help, he agreed this time, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was the two ace elites in his hand, how could he not know that it was for the sake of his Qin Xu's safety? To say that it is not touched is false. But Qin Xu thought about it this time, and had already hit his mind elsewhere, and said to Lu Bu: "Although this time it is just a few thousand people from Kan Xuan and the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Alliance, the combat power is relatively not enough to see, but Xu still wants to bring more people this time, whether it is a deterrent to Tao Qian or his negative forces, anyway, all the military expenses are listened to by Tao Qian, why don't you take this rare opportunity to train your soldiers?" ”
"What do you mean?" Lu Bu's biggest headache recently is the placement of those Yellow Turban soldiers who surrendered outside Beihai City. If it is like the last time the Yellow Turban Army of Zichuan State surrendered to the army, it is no longer advisable to directly replenish the battalions. Otherwise, it would not have been because of the uneven combat strength, which caused Zhang Liao to lose his general Qin Yi when he was the vanguard to attack the Yellow Turban in Beihai, which was indeed a lesson for Lu Bujun, who had never lost his troops and surrendered the general first since he took charge of the army.
"Xu asks the lord to temporarily set up another battalion in the army under his command, select the Beihai Yellow Turban soldiers as the foot soldiers, and choose the henchmen to be the commander, and use the battle in Xuzhou as a stone to add another elite soldier under the command of the lord!" Qin Xu saw that the time was almost up, and said the idea that he had already had a draft in his heart a long time ago.
"Another battalion?" I have to say that Qin Xu's words did speak to Lu Bu's heart, rather than letting these yellow turban soldiers fill the battalions, it is indeed difficult to run in in a short period of time, and pull down the combat power out of thin air, it is better to become a battalion of its own as Qin Xu said. What's more, except for the Shenbow battalion, Lu Bu's command is all cavalry, although the advantages in each battle are obvious, but there is also a lot of loss, and most of these Yellow Turban soldiers can't ride horses, which can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of the few foot soldiers in Lu Bu's army, and said at the moment: "It's okay, but what is the name of this new battalion?" ”
"Qingzhou soldiers!" Qin Xu said sorry to Lao Cao in his heart, and replied loudly. (To be continued......)
