Chapter 221: The Eagle Falcon Leaks Its Tracks, and the Fierce Enemy Has No Fear
It has long been said that the Confucian scholars in the late Han Dynasty still have blood surnames, such as Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and even Zhou Yu, Jiang Wan, Lu Xun and other scholars to worship the generals.
Therefore, Qin Xu was entrusted by Lu Bu this time to temporarily take charge of General Fenwu's seal letter as the commander of the Qingzhou army, except for the fact that at the beginning, a group of government officials in the government and the government privately complained a few words of nepotism in Lu Qingzhou, but it did not cause much turmoil among the generals of Lu Bujun.
Just kidding, none of them are stupid. There are 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers stationed in Xiapi City, Xuzhou, which is comparable to the entire strength of the Qingzhou headquarters garrison, although there are many people in Lu Bu's army who are more senior and prestige than Qin Xu, but who dares to say that they can do it like Qin Xu and Lu Bu, the two sons-in-law, in this kind of taboo thing? What's more, Qin Xu has been in Chang'an with Lu Bujun for a year, pit Yuan Shao, take Heishan, fight Cao Ying, collect yellow scarves, Meng Taoqian, and almost all of them have Qin Xu's figure mixed with them, although the previous official position is just the Qingzhou Mufu Shaofu, the head of General Zuo's Mansion, but his prestige in the army is because of these things, it is not low, plus Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi's affairs are well known in Qingzhou, and there is really no second suitable candidate. Even if it was "temporarily" appointed by Lu Bu to General Fenwu's seal letter is a little inconsistent, it can't be separated from the fact that it is just a name for the father-in-law to support his son-in-law, and the emperor is still in the hands of thieves, even if he asks for a seal, he can't find a place, right?
"Ling'er, this time I finally fulfilled the promise I made to you! For this matter, the lord may not know how to clean me up, you must be honest and obedient, don't make trouble in the army, don't wander around the camp at will, don't ......" Along the way, even Qin Xu didn't know how many times he had been instructed to go to the army, as if he had been doped, and the whole person was full of Lu Lingqi with a heroic posture.
"I know, I just left Linzi three times, you have said this five times! I can recite it backwards for you! Lu Lingqi, who was dressed in armor, fiddled with the small Fang Tian painting halberd, rode on a small red horse, patted her head and pouted her mouth as speechless, and then solemnly hugged her fist at Qin Xu and said, "General Qin, don't worry!" Since the last general is under the command of General Qin, he will definitely obey the military order and will never ......"
"Whoosh!" Qin Xu didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to take advantage of this rare opportunity to fulfill the promise he promised to Lu Lingqi when he went to Chang'an. Along the way, don't look at this Miss Lu before, she often "messed around" in the Lu Bu military camp when she had nothing to do, but as soon as she left Linzi, she was like a pony that had taken off the leash, and she was fresh and tight about everything. The soldiers of the first battalion were only curious for a moment when Lu Lingqi suddenly appeared in the army, and it was not the first time! Last time, the matter of Miss Lu and her own official "General Qin" has been known to everyone in the army, that is, Lu Yi recruited these two first to the main and deputy commanders of the camp, and even Dian Wei, who was regarded as a "friend" by Lu Bu, "did not dare" meddle in the family affairs of his own lord, which greatly boosted Miss Lu's "arrogance", which was just a serious expression on his little face to show that he obeyed Qin Xu's words, and before he finished speaking, he leaned on the horse, and his delicate figure completed an incredible angle, using the archery skills taught by Wen Hou, He shot down a bird that flew through the air.
"Miss, good archery! The eldest lady is mighty! "I've been messing with Qin Xu, who has always been popular in the army, and I've seen that Lu Lingqi has no fight with Qin Xu these days, and there are quite a few bold people among these soldiers who have ascended to the battalion, but they actually ignored Qin Xu's helpless eyes and coaxed loudly.
"Ling'er!" Qin Xu looked at Lu Lingqi, who had been shouting to go into battle to kill the enemy, but obviously regarded this expedition as a spring outing to play, and he didn't know whether to say that this girl was a daring artist, or that she was a little girl, and couldn't help but think of the comforting eyes that Cheng Lian looked at him after seeing Lu Lingqi when he was in the southern country of the economy, and straightened his face a little helplessly, and said: "I am about to enter Langya County, which is already the boundary of Xuzhou, if you are still like this, I will ask the commander to escort you back!" ”
"Okay, okay! Just listen to you! But people have been stuck in the house all day, and they haven't gone out to hunt for a long time, but it's just a moment of itchy hands, and you have been told that it's really stingy! Lu Lingqi pouted, gave someone Qin a big white eye that looked very similar to Cai Yan, a black-bellied beauty, and said. But I didn't know that this girl's casual words were said by Qin Xu's heart for a while. Yes, when I first met Lu Lingqi, this girl was already a hot surname, and someone Qin had been hit the head, but since Qin Xu moved out of Lu Bu's mansion, especially after the marriage with Qin Xu was put on the Cheng by the Yan family, the little girl's surname has really converged a lot, that is, every time she said that she had to go to the military camp before, she didn't go for a while, and in order to fulfill the "duty" of the future hostess, she took care of the widowed sister-in-law Du Yan and the newcomer Mi Zhen for Qin Xu in the Qin Mansion. Even Lu Bu's mansion rarely went back.
"Ling'er, I'm sorry......" Qin Xu is a human being in two lives after all, although he was overjoyed by the polygamy system at the end of the Han Dynasty, but the respect for the female surname has been deeply rooted in his bones, seeing that Lu Lingqi was a little dull after being preached by herself, she pulled her horse together, quietly took the little girl's hand, and said in a low voice.
"Hey, General Qin also has times when he admits his mistakes? If there is a mistake in the army, it will be subject to military law! Originally, Qin Xu thought that what he had just said was too heavy to make the little girl unhappy and a little guilty, but when he saw a hint of cunning flashing in Lu Lingqi's eyes, he immediately knew that he was afraid that he had just been tricked by this girl who was about to develop into the underworld by Cai Yan, and he couldn't say what he said before, and he was going to say it for the seventh time.
"Master Qin, oh no, General Qin, the eldest lady is good at archery, and sure enough, she has won the true biography of the lord, just this eyesight, the last general is ashamed of himself!" Just when Qin Xu had nothing to do with Lu Lingqi's troubles and smiled bitterly, the forward pathfinder beckoned a strange bird with a feather arrow in his hand and rode in front of Qin Xu, and praised Lu Lingqi fiercely when he opened his mouth, saying: "According to the soldiers under the command of the last general, this is actually an eagle falcon, and, General Qin, you see, this eagle falcon should have been domesticated. ”
What do you mean by that? How can you see that this has been domesticated? "Qin Xu remembers that the earliest record of bird transmission should be Zhang Jiuling in the later Tang Dynasty, could it be that there was such a developed communication tool in the late Han Dynasty? But seeing that there was no place on this falcon to accept letters, he couldn't help asking.
"General Qin doesn't know anything!" The eagle falcon, which was shot through the neck by Lu Lingqi and was already dead, turned around, pointed to the eagle's talon and said to Qin Xu: "The last general has stayed in the area of Bingzhou, which is close to the ranch of the Southern Huns, and I have seen that there are eagle keepers among the Southern Huns, and they often train this kind of bird of prey to play for the nobles for fun, and the so-called eagle keeper is the name of the person who raises this kind of eagle falcon and other birds of prey. General Qin, please take a closer look, there is a gold wire iron ring buckle at the claw of this eagle falcon, which should be connected with the iron chain at the iron ring of the eagle keeper's arm. ”
"Well, that's true! It's just that this is the hinterland of the Central Plains, this kind of bird of prey is rare, and the Qingxu Yellow Turban is in chaos, is it possible that someone will learn from the Southern Xiongnu magnates and raise this thing? Qin Xu frowned tightly, and had a rather ominous premonition in his heart, and asked, "Is it very easy to raise such a murderous thing?" ”
"General Qin's eyes were like lightning, and he immediately asked the point." Without a trace, he held Qin Xu in front of Lu Lingqi, who was curiously looking at the eagle falcon and strange bird, and arched his hand and said, "It's just that the last general is ashamed." According to the last general, this method of raising eagles is also a secret in the Southern Xiongnu, only for the upper nobles, even ordinary nobles, tribal leaders, etc. are only heard but not known, the last general also heard a few words by chance, in addition to knowing that this thing is just food, and the fee must also be tens of thousands of dollars, and the others are also unknown. ”
"Lao Dian, protect Ling'er, take the lead, and give the order to General Lu Yi of the Hou Army, and the whole army is on alert in case someone sneaks up!" After listening to the explanation, Qin Xu suddenly remembered a possibility, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and he immediately commanded.
"Enemy attack! Formation! Protect General Qin! Miss! "Fortunately, the number of people in the camp is only a thousand, and it stretches for no more than two miles, and the fast horse arrives in an instant, just when he was recruiting Lu Yi, who had just conveyed Qin Xu's order to the rear army, suddenly a whistle sounded, and a group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the low hills on both sides, I am afraid that there are hundreds of people, and they are taking advantage of the momentum to kill the Chinese army where Qin Xu is. Frightened, he hurriedly shouted and sent sergeants from the front and rear armies to protect Qin Xu.
Originally, Qin Xu went here to lead the Qingzhou soldiers who were stationed in Xiapi under the banner of Xuzhou rescue, and he forced Tao Qian to agree to garrison the Qingzhou soldiers in Xiapi, and there were 1,000 soldiers in the camp around him, but Lu Bu was worried about Qin Xu's safety, so he rejected Qin Xu's suggestion to take only a few people to Xiapi quickly, and imposed the guards.
"It's really the Huns?" Suddenly attacked, Qin Xu also panicked for a short time, but fortunately, the soldiers of the Xiandeng Battalion, Dian Wei and Lu Lingqi, who were well-trained and had quickly formed a defensive formation, were closely protected behind him, and only then did he come to his senses, and seeing the bald pigtails of the cavalry who were getting closer and closer, Qin Xu was suddenly startled, and he already had some understanding of who was attacking his own army, and blurted out.
"NND, your grandfather's big knife hasn't been opened for a long time, and the thief is here, just to satisfy someone's cravings!" Don't look at Lu Yi and call the soldiers in a panic to protect Qin Xu, in fact, he is just worried that Qin Xu's small body will be accidentally injured in the chaotic army. Seeing that the Hun cavalry was getting closer and closer, the soldiers of the first camp did not show even a trace of fear, and even some of the veterans who first entered the camp showed a bit of gluttony in their eyes.
I have to say that the appearance of this group of Huns was indeed very unexpected by everyone, if other people were killed by these hundreds of strangely dressed and strange and sharp cavalry, they might really panic. It's a pity that these people haven't studied which army Qin Xu brought. Led by Lu Yi and Zhao Zhao, it was one of the elite cavalry who once dared to resist the world with 800 flesh and blood, and the whole 5,000 white horses did not retreat, and in the end they even returned to the camp with a great victory. Although there is no first-ascending crossbow for various reasons, and the other party is coming from the top of the low hill with the help of slope momentum, but after all, it is not the white horse who is known to come and go like the wind and is invincible, so why be afraid of going to camp first!?
