Chapter 313: Yuan Shu's plan was continuous, and Lu Bu was furious
As a "veteran" general of Lu Bu's army, Cheng Lian commanded the flying cavalry battalion for several years, and his cavalry command ability is needless to say. The Flying Cavalry Battalion was full of 5,000 people, but after it was filled, it was reduced to the second sequence of the Lu Bu Army. Although it was the first military force in the army to be sent out to be stationed, Cheng Lian knew that this was Lu Bu's comforting move, and he had not been very willing, especially when he was "reduced" to the same level as the baggage battalion in charge of Hao Meng, it was no wonder that it would be so easy to have the opportunity to attack, and the anger would be so great.
And as Cheng Lian said to Han Guang before fighting Yuan Shu, he has followed Lu Bu for nearly ten years and has a considerable understanding of Lu Bu's style. Lu Bu naturally knows a lot about Cheng Lian's spleen surname. When he was in Hanoi, Cheng Lian led the soldiers of the flying cavalry battalion of only 1,000 people to guard the camp, but he was shot by Lu Yi's Xiandeng battalion with a sharp weapon Xiandeng crossbow.
And this time when he was in Linzi, he selected Cheng Lian as the vanguard, bypassing the rabble led by Yuan Shu under the Xia Pi Zhi, and it may not be that Lu Bu took the opportunity to reward Cheng Lian for more than a year to be ordered to defend the country of Jinan, so as to train his soldiers.
Cheng Lian is naturally straight and elegant when he hears the strings, and he has only been a boring training soldier for more than a year, so he has long faded out of a bird, and after getting the military order, where can he bear it! But not long after Cheng Lian left Jinan City in a hurry, as if he was being chased by a wolf, and rushed to Xiapi County, Qin Xu received a letter from Zhang Zhao from Xuzhou who was 600 miles away. The content of the letter was very brief, but it was Qin Xu, who was talking about the "results" of Yuan Shu's trip with Lu Bu and Guo Jiaxiao, and after reading it, he took a breath of cold air.
"Lord, Yuan Shu is not as good as Yuan Shao everywhere, he is a dry bone in the mound, and his honesty is insignificant! But this time the behavior was quite strange. With 50,000 newly recruited soldiers, against 50,000 elite soldiers, Yuan Shu's move is quite intriguing! You must know that even if it was defeated by Cao Ying and Liu Biao at the beginning, there was not one out of ten troops at the beginning, but it was still able to successfully loot Xuzhou at the beginning, and the generals under his command were actually not damaged, which shows that this Yuan technique must not be underestimated! Moreover, that Yuan someone, as the son-in-law of the Yuan family who died but did not stiffen, was able to compete with Yuan Shao, the first hero in the world at the time, which shows that his means, although he is not afraid of him, he also has to guard against it, in case there is a change! At the moment when Qin Xu read the letter, Guo Jia, who was the mastermind of Lu Bu's army, was "cooling down" the brain of Lu Bu, who was in a state of "excitement", which was easy to come out, and it could be seen that Guo Jia was extremely serious, and his consistent prodigal demeanor was also put away, and he said in a rare way.
"Hah! What Bong Hyo said is very true! Extremely! Zhong Ming often said that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, you can rest assured, this time, even if the soldiers led by Yuan Shu are incompetent, they will go all out! Lu Bu was obviously talking about him left and right, and misinterpreted Guo Jia's meaning.
"Lord, Feng Xiao's ability to anticipate opportunities is comparable to ghosts and gods! These words are really reasonable! Xuzhou ...... Something happened! Qin Xu saw that Lu Bu listened to what Guo Jia said, nodded frequently on his face, but his expression was not very concerned, he knew that Guo Jia's words Lu Bu actually didn't listen much, and looking at Guo Jia's helpless smile, Qin Xu knew that Guo Jia also saw that his lord was up, and it was estimated that no one could persuade him to move, and he was thinking about the way to admonish. If you want to talk about Lu Bu's problem, Guo Jia and Qin Xu, who have been with Lu Bu for a long time, naturally know it, stubborn temper, not easy to persuade! The only way is to come up with enough evidence to convince Lu Bu, and the letter from Xuzhou in Qin Xu's hand is just right to use!
"Danyang soldiers are in civil strife, thousands of people are fleeing? Could it be ...... Yuan Shu thief! How dare you do that! Lu Bu took the letter from Zhang Zhao suspiciously, and it didn't take long to read it in just a few lines, his face became extremely blue, and he smashed the letter and silk book on the case, as if the case was Yuan Shu, and his cold face was murderous. The meaning in the letter couldn't be clearer, so coincidental Yuan Shu came, so coincidental Xuzhou was in chaos, is there such a coincidental thing?
"The Lord is angry! At this point, let's think about how to control the situation in Xuzhou first! Chi Ze was afraid that he would give Yuan Shu an opportunity to take advantage of! Moreover, General Cheng Lian ...... "What worries Qin Xu about the content of the letter is actually not in Xuzhou, there are 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers in Xuzhou." Others don't know the combat power of the Qingzhou soldiers, but Qin Xu knows very well. Not to mention the 30,000 chaotic and suspicious Danyang soldiers, even if they are facing each other, those veteran elite soldiers may not be able to please them. Qin Xu's worries were mainly on Cheng Lian's vanguard cavalry.
Ever since he read the content of the letter, Qin Xu has always felt as if he had missed something, and he was just provoked by Lu Bu's actions, and he remembered something. I remember that when Tao Qian was dying, when he gave up Xuzhou, he once said that some "relics" had been handed over to the eldest son potter, and also asked Qin Xu to promise to leave the potter's surname no matter what, and leave a pulse of incense for the old Tao family. At that time, Tao Qian was already in a semi-comatose state, and Qin Xu didn't think about it elsewhere, he just thought that Tao Qian's move was just a person's dying words and good words, and he was worried about the future generations. But looking back at this moment, it seems to understand Tao Qian's smug calculations.
Relic! What relics? Other Qin Xu didn't know, but when he Qin was in charge of Xuzhou, because of the chaotic situation at that time, Lu Bu's cheap old man Cao Bao took the first step, took the opportunity to take advantage of the big "advantage", and brought the leaderless Tao Danyang elite soldiers after Tao Qian's death into his command. At that time, Qin Xu was hindered by Lu Bu's face, so he didn't ask Tao Qian again about the talisman in his hand that could mobilize Danyang's elite soldiers. Now it seems that the antecedent of the evolution of today's events may be among the "relics" that Tao Qian's old thief said, and there is a troop transfer talisman that seems to have not been obtained by Cao Bao at all, and fell into the hands of pottery merchants to "save their lives".
And although the potter was driven away by Tao Qian, how could he be a rich man with peace of mind as Tao Qian said in order to retaliate against Qin Xu, who did not hesitate to issue a "Yellow Turban Chase and Kill Order" to kill someone in Qin? It is very likely that in anger, he wanted to take revenge with the help of others, and he was mixed with Yuan Shu, who dared to provoke Lu Bu head-on.
"Kill two birds with one stone!" Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and shook his head.
"Lord, General Cheng Lian has been gone for a long time, and he can't be contacted when he is idle, Xu Yi ordered Fan to lead three thousand parts, gallop to find it, if you can stop General Cheng Lian, it is best to send reinforcements to it." Qin Xu understood what Guo Jia meant, and nodded to himself. Said to Lu Bu.
"Hmm! That's all there is to it! If you are in danger, you will not be able to escape the blame! Lu Bu's face gradually calmed down, but the anger in his eyes that could not be concealed was already becoming substantial. Yuan Shu was so "playing" this time, it was as if he was slapping his face in the open. How can you not make Lu Bu very angry.
Thinking about it, Cheng Lian was held back by Lu Bu in Jinan for a long time, and was greatly "teased" by his colleague and good friend Hao Meng, after winning the position of the pioneer of this reward. I also knew with my ass that if Cheng Lian really ran into Yuan Shu, it was very likely that he would be ambushed by the thousands of Danyang soldiers who were "missing" in Xiapi City, as described in Zhang Zhao's letter. However, Cheng Lian's flying cavalry battalion has trained hard for the past year, and the foundation of the Yellow Turban soldiers is there, and when it meets the well-known Danyang elite soldiers, the odds of victory are not much, and it is estimated that there should be no worries about saving your life.
passed Lu Bu's order arrow to Fan Chou, and instructed that if he met Cheng Lian, if he had not yet fought with Yuan Shu, he would bring Cheng Lian back no matter what means he used, and if he had already started a war, he would also be comforted by Cheng Lian.
Fan Chou took the order, and Qin Xu was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief temporarily. Although he was worried about Cheng Lian's safety, Qin Xu really flashed a little happy in his heart. The news sent by Zhang Zhao may have really resolved the disaster of Xiao Wall that is very likely to happen by mistake.
If it wasn't for the purpose of diverting the pressure of Qingzhou, in the name of the righteousness of the generals under his command, he sent troops in a big way. also really let Yuan Shu be deceived under the guise of more than 40,000 newly recruited soldiers. There are 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers in Xiapi City, nearly 30,000 Danyang soldiers, and there are Lu Bujun generals guarding it, no matter who it is, it is estimated that the first feeling will not take Yuan Shu seriously, thinking that outside such a solid Xiapi City, Yuan Shu's actions are like the egg hitting the stone, and it is an absolute way to die.
But now that the news from several sides has gathered together, Qin Xu and Guo Jia have already guessed the true intention of why Yuan Shu is in such a hurry to use troops.
Underestimate Yuan Shu! In fact, I didn't think that Yuan Shu would attack Xuzhou in the name of Tao Qian's heir, but whether it was Lu Bu or Qin Xu himself, they all thought that Yuan Shu's rash action this time was only because Xuzhou had been obtained by Qin Xu and was sealed by the Son of Heaven. Yuan Shu, who has the jade seal of the country in hand, can't suppress the delusions in his heart anymore because of Yuan Shao's death. And then effectively the road to the rise of Yuan Shao at the beginning, he planned to dominate the southeast according to Xu, Yang, and Henan in order to do great things. But now it seems that almost everyone mistakenly looked at this person who claimed that he was the orthodox Yuan family almost every person, which made people feel that under the aura of Yuan Shao, who had already succeeded, he was inferior everywhere, and he was arrogant and arrogant, and was even called Yuan Highway with dry bones in the grave. Now that I think about it, as the master of one party, how can the second child of the Yuan family, who was once able to be called the three evils of Luoyang with Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, be a simple character?
was originally a simple matter, but this time it became more and more complicated because of the appearance of Tao Qian's eldest son, the pottery merchant. Qin Xu had to start worrying that in addition to Cheng Lian, the other army led by Tai Shici, who originally planned to lure Sun Ce into Xiapi, and then make Guangling Taishou Chen Deng's people lock his retreat, intending to gather and annihilate him, would also encounter something boring.
