It is said that in the past year or so, he has suffered a lot of losses under Qin, and Cao Ying's understanding of Qin Xu is still quite profound. Seeing that Yan Liang's behavior of arsonance and bullying did not make Qin Xu change color in the slightest, he knew that Qin Xu would definitely have a backhand waiting to entertain Yan Liang.

"General Cao, after years of not seeing, you have also lost a lot!" When Dong Zhuo was still in Luoyang, in order to win Dong Zhuo's trust and deliberately befriended the generals of the Xiliang Army, Cao Ying and Fan Chou also had several fates, at that time Cao Zhuo was still deliberately flattering Dong Zhuo and obtained the Dongjun Taishou, Fan Chou was already a general in the army leading three thousand Xiliang soldiers and iron cavalry, and when he was in a good mood, he only nodded when he saw Cao Ying. Creation makes people, and only three years have passed, but the positions between each other are reversed.

"General Fan's ability to offer righteousness under the persuasion of General Qin this time shows sincerity!" Cao Ying was also angry, he didn't talk about the fact that he was still fighting desperately for Tongguan yesterday, and saw that the three thousand Xiliang elite iron horsemen who were Fan Chou's subordinates followed, and behind Qin Xu, Cao Ying's eyes flashed a little envy, but he covered it up well, and with an inquiring tone, he asked with a smile in front of Qin Xu: "I just don't know what General Fan's plans are?" General Fan's ability, Cao can admire it tightly, why don't we wave Chang'an together and save the Son of Heaven from fire and water? ”

"Fan Chou was not righteous before, but fortunately Qin Xuzhou Zhong Ming persuaded him, knowing that the previous sins were difficult to eliminate, and under the remorse, he had already lost his fighting spirit, and he didn't want to kill again, but he was willing to be a general in the Qin Envoy's Mansion, and this remnant of his life was enough!" Fan Chou was not confused by Cao Ying's sweet words, he looked disheartened, but it was in stark contrast with the three thousand well-armored and elite families behind him, and it was almost a banner on his forehead that "I was talking nonsense with my eyes open".

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and Cao respects General Fan's decision!" Since Cao Ying had already made up his mind to reach Yuan Shao, who would be able to deal with Yuan Shao in a few hours, by pushing Qin someone up, he did not continue to continue this great cause of digging the foot of the wall in person, he looked at Fan Chou's trilogy with envy, and said to Qin Xu: "Zhong Ming is a good means, and Cao's vision is really not bad!" But I don't know what kind of gift Zhong Ming left for Yan Liang in Tongguan? Can you tell us? ”

"Actually, it's nothing!" I just learned from Yan Liang that Yuan Shao, who had been taken advantage of by himself, could come here in the afternoon, although Qin Xu had Fan Chou's investment and his three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry to rely on at this time, but he still needed to borrow Cao Ying to deal with Yuan Shao, and I didn't know if Cao Ang would tell Cao Ying about the plan at Linzi, Qin Xu said with a smile: "It's just some Xiliang auxiliary army that still has illusions about Li Guo's two thieves and doesn't want to return to righteousness with General Fan Chou." However, when Qin and General Fan went out of the customs, they had already ordered their troops to collect the long and short blades of these people, how could it be said that Yuan was strong at the beginning, and he had to leave a soup to drink, right? Qin's surname was all given to General Yan. ”

"Murder with a knife? Zhong Ming is still using tricks to be vicious! Presumably, this time Yan Liang was in such a hurry to grab the credit, and this hardship was enough to eat. Seeing Cao Ang's puzzled look, even his own generals Cao Ren, Xiahou and others didn't understand what Qin Xu said, Cao Ying shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Cao Ang and the others: "Zhong Ming only said that he collected the broken blades of the remaining Xiliang auxiliary soldiers who were unwilling to surrender, and presumably blocked Cao Mouyueyu's sharp weapons, bows and arrows and other things, so he should have accidentally forgotten the calculations, right?" ”

"Oops! General Cao said this, Qin only remembered, it seems that this is really the case! These days, I have been running back and forth on the road, and I haven't had a good rest, which has made Qin forget even such an important matter, General Fan, how many arrows are still in stock in Tongguan at present? Seeing Cao Ying's words, the corners of Qin Xu's mouth twitched slightly, pretending to remember it suddenly, and he couldn't fake it anymore and patted his thigh on the horse, and said anxiously: "Those auxiliaries have been fighting against General Cao for more than a month, and when he left the customs, Qin Xu only cared about leaving as soon as possible, but he forgot to collect the inventory of arrows placed on the city wall, which was really a mistake!" ”

"Ah...... Hiss ......"

As if in order to confirm Qin Xu and Cao Ying's witty words of scheming Yan Liang openly and secretly, Yan Liang and the others didn't get much when they rushed to Tongguan, but they were just a little crowded when they entered the customs, but when they just entered the urn city outside Tongguan, which can only accommodate 3,000 people, they saw those Xiliang auxiliary troops who had suddenly surrendered to Fan Chou, but ignored them and expressed incomprehension, seeing such a mighty and high-spirited, It seems that it is because of their merits that they have won Tongguan and the Yan Liang cavalry, who seems to be a little arrogant, crowded into the pass, and I don't know who led it, anyway, now that Tongguan has been lost, he and other people who have been "abandoned" do not know whether they are alive or dead, Suo surname picked up the bow and crossbow and other things that had not been confiscated, turned the crosshairs, and with anger and resentment, splashed water as if it had to lean towards the crowded Yan Liang cavalry in the urn city. Suddenly, the sound of screams and neighing of horses resounded in the sky.

"Lord, Qin envoy monarch...... This ......" because he saw Qin Xu being embarrassed by Yan Liang before, and Xu Huang, who dared to come to the rescue with only dozens of horses, heard the terrible screams in Tongguan at this moment, and a little unbearable color flashed in his resolute eyes, as if he wanted to say something to Cao Ying and Qin Xu, but he couldn't say anything.

"Wisdom to support the war, force to stop the war! Sometimes it's a last resort! Qin Xu understood what Xu Huang wanted to say, frowned and looked back at Tongguan, which was screaming unabated, and the position of the flag of the Xiliang Army that had been pulled out on the city wall of the pass, and suddenly felt that he had a deeper understanding of his father-in-law Lu Wenhou's theory of truce by war and killing to stop killing, and said to Xu Huang: "If this killing can make the cavalry led by Yan Liang, who has already been robbed of merit, calm down, and make less stumbling blocks for the rescue of the Son of Heaven. Qin didn't mind that he would have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to kill the old Yuan family's sharpness. Gongming has been in battle for a long time, and he should know better than Qin, shooting like this intensively, the bow and arrow are actually difficult and lethal, and the fatal damage caused is really limited. As for the Xiliang auxiliary defenders who survived on Tongguan, Yan Liang still had to use those people to show merit to Yuan Shao, and he was not worried about his life, and the worst thing was just to suffer some hardships. ”

"Qin Envoy Jun is really benevolent and righteous, but he has a lot of heart!" Xu Huang was just because Tongguan was so easily dedicated to Qin Xu, but Qin Xu used Xu Huang's former "comrade" as bait, and made the plan to calculate Yuan Shao and Yan Liang, who were already trying to misbehave, this time after listening to Qin Xu's explanation, Xu Huang also showed an embarrassed smile, and said to Qin Xu with a fist.

Cao Ying intended to plagiarize Yan Liang's back road before, so that Yan Liang did not dare to be too reckless in seizing Tongguan's plan, and thought that Qin Xu's plan was stranded, but seeing that Yan Liang was screaming and screaming in Tongguan by Qin Xu's gift, he also felt quite relieved, coupled with the "countermeasures" against Yuan Shao that Qin Xu had relayed by Cao Ang before, although Cao Ying's jealousy of Qin Xu deepened a lot again, but aside from other factors, Qingzhou is still an ally with Yanzhou after all, and his eldest son Cao Ang made a friend like Qin Xu. In fact, there is still more to be happy. And because of Qin Xu's words just now to "soothe" Xu Huang, Cao Ying also pretended not to know, and did not pay attention to how Yan Liang cleaned up the mess in Tongguan, nor was he busy attacking Chang'an at this time, and generously allocated the camp in the military camp that was originally used to collect and recruit troops to Qin Xu, Fan Chou and others, as well as three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry to station.

The so-called no profit is not early, and sure enough, it is not wrong at all. Don't look at Yuan Shao, no matter what he does, he is a little hesitant at first, and he always makes a decision after several arguments with his advisers; To say that it sounds good, Lao Yuan is called good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, and if it is not good, it means that he is a little grinding and chirping, and he is not very happy. However, in the treatment of things that are very likely to make the old Yuan family, which was destroyed by Dong Zhuo at the beginning, regain its glory, such as welcoming the Son of Heaven back to the old capital, and then taking the Son of Heaven to Yecheng, the base camp of Jizhou, under the pretext that Luoyang is dilapidated and unsuitable for the Han capital, Yuan Shao is still relatively positive. At least under the assurances of Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, to rob the credit of his old friend Cao Ying, and the idea of picking the old Cao peach, still made Yuan Shao's marching speed much faster than expected. As soon as Qin Xu and the others were settled, they received the news that Yuan Shao's army had come here and had taken over Tongguan with a part.

What should come will come! Qin Xu was actually reluctant to see Yuan Shao. It's not that I'm afraid of anything, it's just a human nature. For anyone else, he used the Black Mountain Thief as a shield before, and he also lost Yuan Shao's most favored youngest son Yuan Shang to the Black Mountain Thief Kou and suffered for several months before he was able to get out of the sea of suffering. It can almost be said that they have completely ransacked people's nests, not to mention the four major henchmen under Yuan Shao's command, three of whom are still selling "coolies" in Jinan until now. Qin is most afraid that he will laugh inadvertently after seeing Yuan Shao, which is more likely to cause unnecessary "interstate disputes", especially now that this is out of the historical trajectory and a critical time to rescue the Son of Heaven several years in advance, it is best to find something wrong, Qin is actually very low-key.

"General Qin, my lord, General Cao, please go and meet with Duke Yuan of Jizhou!" Just as Qin Xu learned the news that Yuan Shao was here, he was thinking of a way not to see Yuan Shao for the best, and the worst could be delayed for a while, but Cao Xu seemed to be afraid that the world could not be chaotic, and he wanted to push someone Qin, who was not yet ten years old, to the stage, and he actually sent a close attendant to urge. If he didn't know Cao Ying's real surname, maybe Qin Xu would really be a little grateful to Lao Cao for lifting himself up like this.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, Qin Xusuo's surname also straightened his clothes, with the mentality of playing soy sauce, leaving Lao Xu, Kong Bin and a group of guards to watch the house, helping Fan Chou to appease the emotions of the Xiliang Iron Rider who was about to be brought back to Qingzhou, and followed Cao Ying, the inner servant, to Cao Ying's Chinese army tent alone, General Qin, it's really a good calculation! ”

"Huh? What does General Yan mean by this? Could it be that the bones that were snatched were not pleasantly gnawed? ……”
