Chapter 214: Rumors Arise, and Hardships See the Truth
I have to say that the black-bellied beauty Cai Yan dared to design and rescue the captured Cai Yong when he was single, and this wisdom and vision alone were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Cai Yan guessed correctly, Qin Xu's main purpose in doing this was to stir up the water!
This is more than 300,000 stone of grain, 5,000 catties of iron and countless military coins......
If Ping said that Qingzhou had obtained so many military resources for nothing, the surrounding forces would be red-eyed, and at most they would scold a few words of Lu Bu's ** luck to relieve their anger, after all, Qingzhou's strong military strength has been known to the world, and there is Lu Bu, the world's number one fierce general, unless he has a sick brain, he will have the idea of provoking such a strong enemy for no reason.
But now the situation is different, not only Qingzhou at the moment, more than half of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are trapped by this drought, the people's livelihood is withering, the victims are swarming, chaos is frequent, the Central Plains is the most seriously damaged, but it is the most powerful of the Han forces at the moment. Could it be that there is still this Lu Bu who is favored by heaven alone? All have such thoughts, and they are worried about the strength of the various forces, how can they tolerate Qingzhou Lu Bu to be too comfortable?
As early as in the Lishan Valley, he saw the Xuzhou army fighting with the Yellow Turban, Qin Xu foresaw that the original intention of making a big fortune was impossible to realize, even if he left immediately, he would have entered the game because of his body, could it be that no matter the Yellow Turban, Xuzhou, would there be such an obvious scapegoat, and the wealth would be exposed to attract jealousy? Lu Bu is already an outlier in Qingzhou, the state is barren, but because of the benefits of the Mi family in Xuzhou, the soldiers are full of food, even for the drought that everyone is afraid of, as early as the beginning of the year, this kind of situation, is already intolerable to others, if it is splashed with this sewage again, even if the means are inferior, it will be used as a tongue by people with a heart. Obviously, it is impossible to get rid of it. In this case, it is better to be stronger, get the benefits alone, muddy the muddy waters and slowly try to find other methods. Although Qin Xu is just a small master in Lu Bu's army, he can't control the current situation of the Han Dynasty at all, and there is no good way to let Qingzhou in the bureau both benefit and get rid of it, but use the income in his hand to make all the surrounding forces who are angry with Qingzhou's profit as much as possible to get into the bureau, so that Qingzhou can profit the most from it, and even have an unexpected joy, so there is a report of "calculating" his father-in-law.
Lu Bu's surname is too straightforward, and he acts mostly according to his preferences, and has always relied on his unparalleled force and strong military strength to be proud of the world's heroes, and disdains to be in the company of mediocre people in his eyes. Although since he became the lord of Qingzhou, Lu Bu, as the lord of a state, has considered more problems and is much more stable, but if Lu Bu learns that others dare to covet Qingzhou's military resources and fight him Lu Bu's idea, then it will not immediately be like a lit artillery battle, with the power of Qingzhou and a state, to resist the Central Plains alone? Didn't Lu Bu do this in history before? can be regarded as a person with a criminal record. Although Lu Bu in history went to others like Liu Bei, and finally sentenced him to leave the original owner, but the big-eared Liu stumbled several times, and what he got was the name of benevolence and righteousness, the position of the emperor of Shu Han! What is Lu Bude? In addition to making enemies everywhere, in the end, only the fate of the fall of the White Gate Tower, what is the reason? Cheek! Lubra doesn't have a face! Qin Xu, as Lu Bu's son-in-law, was regarded by Lu Bu as an absolute confidant, and was already firmly tied to the fate of Lu Bujun, and this time he had to use his example as bait to force Lu Bu to make a gesture on his face, so that the party to this matter, Qin, temporarily stayed away from the circle of right and wrong, artificially creating a confusing image, coupled with the fact that the remaining Fangzhong of Xuzhou Yellow Turbans and Xuzhou potters were let go without the slightest damage for no reason, making the already turbid situation even more elusive, so that Qingzhou, which was seriously affected by the disaster, could withdraw from the incident and make profits from it.
"Zhong Ming, what trouble have you caused again? provoked the lord to intercede this time, no one listened, only ordered you to return to Linzi quickly to talk about things! Just when Qin Xu was waiting for a long time for Lu Bu to take any action to deal with Kong Er's stunned return, he got the news that Gao Shun and Song Xian led 6,000 troops to Jinan Kingdom, and just wanted to greet the two of them, he was pulled aside by Gao Shun with an anxious look, and asked in an anxious low voice.
Gao Shun is the first well-known tragic hero in history that Qin Xu has seen since he came to the end of the Han Dynasty, and he has a special sense of admiration. Coupled with the relationship between Gao Shun and the Qin family, when he learned that Qin Yi died in battle outside Beihai City, he had already been learned by Qin Xu that Gao Shun, a general in the army who was not good at showing his feelings, did not forgive Lu Bu until his death because of Qin Xu's father's affairs in history, Qin Xu was very respectful, and he had never seen him so anxious, which also indirectly confirmed the great anger of Lu Bu for doing things like this this time, even Gao Shun, the old brother who had followed Lu Bu for decades, was a little dumbfounded, and spoke to Qin Xu in a tone. I can't help but feel a little reproachful.
"It's okay, Uncle Gao! You and General Song only need to escort these captured military materials, grain, grass and other things back to Linzi according to the lord's orders, and other things will be said in front of the lord. However, Xu has one thing, Uncle Gao, you are busy with a little favor...... "Although I know that as long as Lu Lingqi is there, with Lu Bu's surname of loving his daughter as his life, and under the love house and Wu, Qin Xu will not be in any danger at all, and besides, this matter is a bureau that will be planned, and Lu Bu also has some guesses about Qin Xu's actions, otherwise he would not bother Baal's order Qin Xu hurried back to Linzi to explain, and directly let Gao Shun and Song Xian escort people back to Linzi, wouldn't it be more relieving of hatred?" At present, including Lu Bu's reaction and the signs of the movement of the Qingzhou army, they are all going according to Qin Xu's expectations, I believe that after these few days, they have also attracted the attention of his forces in Linzi City, but these are not enough in Qin Xu's opinion, he smiled slightly, leaned close to Gao Shun, and said.
As Qin Xu expected, when Qin Xu received Lu Bu's military order and only brought Dian Wei back to Linzi with his fast horse, Qingzhou got the news that Kan Xuan had plundered Xuzhou's goods, which had become the hottest topic at the moment. Qingzhou, especially the people of Linzi, have long been accustomed to all kinds of amazing actions that their own Qin master has done, almost numb, it seems that any unexpected thing is done by the two sons-in-law who are in charge of Qingzhou, it will not be surprising, and it has not caused too many waves, at most, it is one more thing to talk about after tea and dinner, and it is just a few words of laughter and praise for the surge in the strength of his own lord. It is the other five counties and three places in Qingzhou, after vaguely hearing about this matter, there are also many expectations for Qingzhou's future drought and disaster relief matters after getting this lot of food out of thin air, as for whether it will cause jealousy and even provoke war among other forces, although a considerable number of people are simply dissatisfied with Lu Bu's administration of Qingzhou, thinking that the fraud cases exposed in the plains and Beihai have not been solved for a long time, and it seems that there is no follow-up, which is Lu Bu's incompetence in political affairs, but in the treatment of war, almost no one has a pessimistic attitude.
But this news is not so good for the other forces in Qingzhou's neighborhood.
According to the so-called well-informed people in Linzi City, when Yuan Shao of Jizhou was playing against Gongsun Zhan, he smashed the cup angrily after hearing the news, which led to a Taishou who was being received and comforted by his own lord Yuan Someone, and was stationed around Yuan Shao's tent.
After hearing the news of Qingzhou, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou also locked himself in the camp to ponder, and even the two generals who relied on him the most, Da'er Liu and Honghei Guan Zhang, were also turned away.
And Cao **, who was in the Sili garrison under the pretext of suppressing bandits, aimed directly at Chang'an, also stopped for a few days, and even because someone found a piece of jade on the body of a dry bone in the wild, which was very similar to the jade that Cao Hong often wore for a long time, it did not make Cao ** moved.
The worst thing is that it belongs to Tao Qian, Lao Tao has worked hard for so many years, and it is easy to accumulate such a little family information, and adhering to the clever plan of the cunning rabbit three holes, it will be used to make Xuzhou left and right Fengyuan to make strong neighbors, or when there is something unbearable, take the military resources used in the Zhongxing family business, and store them in Pengcheng, Donghai, and Xiapi, I thought that this would avoid disasters, but I was unexpectedly first transferred by Kan Xuan, a madman, who used an unexpected method to loot and transfer out of thin air, and saw that it was not easy to find, and I didn't wait for laughter. was cut off by someone Qin and served a pot, which cheapened Qingzhou for nothing. If it's just like this, it's a big deal that Xuzhou and Qingzhou tear their faces, Lu Bu has the five battalions of elite soldiers of the former Yulin Xiaowei and the first battalion of the rebel Yuan Tou Lu and nearly 50,000 newly recruited Qingzhou soldiers, don't we Lao Tao also have 30,000 Danyang elite soldiers who are in the world? If you really fight and fight for a long time, the outcome is still unknown. But the 20,000 Danyang elites in Xiapi City, one-third of them are controlled by Lu Bu's cheap old man, and the defense of Xiapi City is actually garrisoned by Qingzhou soldiers, it can be said that as long as Tao Qian dares to make a move, he can make Xuzhou Zhizhi Xiapi be easily taken by Lu Bu in minutes, which makes Tao Qian, who has always secretly boasted of being a master of tricks, also eager to open the Xuzhou portal to Lu Bu due to the failure of his previous scheme, and fan himself a few big mouths to relieve his anger. It is said that in front of the mansion, he saw Lu Bu's newly recruited Qingzhou soldiers guarding his mansion, and fainted again angrily as if he was facing the enemy's actions and his own son's gray appearance.
"Second brother? Second brother! ......Before Qin Xu and his party entered Linzi City, the boiling news that had been spread by people with good intentions had already reached Qin Xu's ears along the way. Qin Xu didn't seem to be moved by the slightest hint of the resentment of the major forces against Qingzhou's Lu Bu military strength under these news, and was about to reveal his identity and enter Linzi City, but he was suddenly surprised by a figure that slanted out of the ground, it was the cousin Hao Zhao brought by Qin Xu's widow's sister-in-law.
"Hao Zhao? How did you end up here? Isn't it worth it today? Qin Xu hugged the horse, and asked with a smile.
"Second brother, Zhao has been waiting for you for several days! My sister has something to say to bring to the second brother! Hao Zhao glanced at Dian Wei, who turned his gaze to other directions, and said to Qin Xu in a low voice: "Sister Yan, if the second brother is in an emergency, don't worry about our safety, with the eldest brother in front, the livelihood should be worry-free, and the second brother will be at your disposal at any time!" ”
"Huh?" Qin Xu could hear the meaning of the words of both Du Yan and the future famous general Hao Zhao, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it seems that Lu Bu's "anger" was still discovered and spread after all, and even Du Shi, who rarely went out in the mansion, had heard of it, but it saved Qin Xu's effort. However, for this Du Yan sister and brother, who "strictly speaking" have nothing to do with him, to make such a choice in this matter, Qin Xu is still quite moved in his heart, and even Hao Zhao just called Du Yan's husband Qin Yi, who had died in battle, and did not call him brother-in-law but eldest brother, and did not think much about it, he grabbed Hao Zhao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Peace of mind on duty, don't think nonsense, be careful that your second brother and I don't care about family affection, expose your crime of going out of the military camp privately, in addition to your name, and then send you back to the Jixia School Palace." ”
"But ......" Hao Zhao also hesitated a little when he saw Qin Xu's unfazed appearance. Although he had heard the rumor that Qin Xu was quite favored by Lu Bu in Lu Bu's army, and he was Lu Bu's son-in-law, he didn't believe much in the rumors that Lu Bu was going to deal with Qin Xu, but seeing that even Lu Bu's baby daughter Lu Lingqi was a little panicked, and he had to think about it, to be honest, after making the decision he just said, Hao Zhao seemed to let go of the big stone in his heart, full of Qin Xu would be moved after learning the news as he thought, but he didn't expect Qin Xu to be this reaction.
"But what? Town! Qin Xu didn't say anything more to Hao Zhao, he waved his hand at Dian Wei, who avoided his head and pretended not to hear the two of them talking, and walked towards Lu Bu's mansion under the strange and surprised gaze of the soldiers of Lu Bu, including the soldiers guarding the city and patrolling.
