Lu Bu's words sound a little heart-wrenching, but they are indeed the truth. Don't talk about Lu Bu, even when Qin Xu came to sue Yuan Shangfei, he didn't expect that the situation in Jizhou had become like this. Liu Bei, Kong Rong, Yuan Xi, and Black Mountain Thieves, all of whom are unrelated to each other, can be mixed together because of the belonging of Jizhou, is there anything impossible in this world?

Regarding the news sent back by Yuan Shang, Qin Xu has dark shadows to corroborate, and he does not doubt that it will be false, but Qin Xu really doesn't understand that Yuan Shang can choose the latter between his brother and Lu Bujun on the issue of Jizhou's ownership.

I thought that it would take a lot of effort to obtain Jizhou, and I couldn't say that I had to fight hard with the elite soldiers of Jizhou when I couldn't make a profit, after all, in Linzi, Lu Bujun's control was very strong, and it could even be said that there was no secret to escape the ears of the shadows. Before Yuan Shang tried hard to leave the plain, Qin Xu had already started planning with the help of Jia Xu, but unexpectedly, people were not as good as heaven after all, and the Zhen family was placed under house arrest by Liu Bei, and then used as a bargaining chip to calculate Lu Bujun, although Lu Bujun suffered very little early losses, and even captured Liu Bei's righteous brother Zhang Fei alive, which is equivalent to holding a trump card chip in his hand, but this sudden burst of "conflict" also led to a great increase in the risk of the original Jizhou strategy.

At that time, although Liu Bei suffered heavy losses, and before the official war began, he lost 5,000 soldiers and horses accounting for nearly a quarter of his army and a fierce general like Zhang Fei, but it has to be said. In the end, his goal of trying to pull Lu Bujun's hind legs was realized. At least in Liu Bei's eyes, but on the other hand, he steadily "dragged" Lu Bu's army for nearly seven days.

Until that day, Yuan Shangzai learned about the helper chosen by his second brother Yuan Xi. It is the first Zhang Yan of the notorious Montenegrin thief on the border of Hebei, Yuan Shang had a whimsical idea to go east at night to tell him, Qin Xu can be regarded as understanding the previous strategy for the entire Jizhou, although Kong Rong ran on the surface, but in the end, it was this Yuan Ergongzi who wanted to profit from it. But obviously, this can only be regarded as a fool's thousand thoughts. Yuan Ergongzi's scheming is indeed good, but it is a pity that he chose the wrong ally.

Even a master of manipulating people's hearts like Liu Bei may not be able to fully control the Black Mountain Thief. This Yuan Xi and Yuan Ergongzi, Qin Xu, whether from historical experience or from the performance of Yuan Xi in the intelligence, could not believe that this Yuan family nobleman would have such a mind and means. Able to rise above the big-eared brother. So. Since it was impossible, but it still contributed to the occurrence of this incident, it can only be said that Zhang Yan, the first black mountain thief who turned against Cao Cao, definitely did not do this only for the so-called kindness and righteousness of Yuan Xi, a second-class son, maybe he had some other ideas.

Although Qin Xu couldn't be sure of the intentions of these families, it didn't mean that he couldn't go to find out the news first. Judging from Yuan Shang's statement that Yuan Xi planned to use the hands of the Black Mountain thieves to clean up Liu Bei first, Yecheng's gains and losses have reached a very critical moment. Qin Xu's original intention was to let the flying cavalry battalion or the Xiandeng battalion led by Cheng Lian or Lu Yi to investigate the situation, but unexpectedly, Lu Bu was moved by Qin Xu's plan. Left and right idle and nothing. I also feel that it is time to show the majesty of our army in front of the forces in Hebei. The province is that people and not people want to knock it, this time under Qin Xu's intercession. Zhang Fei, who did not call the first "three family slaves", beheaded Song Xian, the former commander of the guard battalion who was beheaded by Guan Yu, and said that it was of great use. God knows if he will be so good at talking next time.

According to Lu Bu's thoughts, the high walls of Yecheng City are thick, and it is not easy to take it lightly, so this time there is no idea of taking the opportunity to gain, it is just for demonstration, so the troops brought out should be less than not more, but the generals of this army might as well bring more, and let some blind thieves have long eyes, don't think that the city of the plain will not take him Lu Bu seriously. Therefore, only Jia Xu and Cheng Lian, the unlucky temporary leader of the flying cavalry battalion, the Xiao cavalry battalion and the personal guard battalion, a total of 18,000 troops were left to defend the city, and 3,000 people led the trapping, first and personal guard battalions, under the guidance of Yuan Shang, the "guide party" who brought his own dry food, and hurried all the way to Yecheng.

is different from what he expected, an arrogant person like Lu Bu really didn't expect that a suppressive move when Qin Xu raided Yecheng to impersonate and loot would have such an "effect" until today, more than two years later. The Black Mountain thief's defeat without a fight made Lu Bu feel a little surprised, and at the same time, the pride in his eyes even became stronger.

"Gentlemen, go with a certain person to help Yecheng get rid of thieves!" Fortunately, Lu Bu still had some self-control, and he didn't show his intention to eat black too obviously, and he also found such a lame excuse left and right, which made Qin Xubai worried.

"Huh...... Ooh! Whether it was trapping, ascending first, or guarding the battalion, the three thousand soldiers listened to Lu Bu's words that were similar to a declaration of war, and their faces all showed a bit of excitement. The long knife in his hand was held tighter, and he just wanted to open the meat immediately.

Like snow cooking oil, just after the battle with Liu Bei's Youzhou soldiers, the black mountain thieves who only relied on the dilemma of Yecheng and the high reward offered by Zhang Yan were already retreating when Lu Bujun first appeared, and he was even more panicked at the moment, no matter how loudly Zhang Yan screamed and restrained, it was already useless.

"Marshal, Lu Bu is menacing, the brothers are in turmoil, and they can't do anything, so it's better to retreat quickly!" Yu Poison, the leader of the Black Mountain Thief Cavalry who was relied on by Zhang Yan, saw that Zhang Yan had been staring at the approaching Lu Bu army since he pushed out of Yecheng, although he knew that the strength of Lu Bu's army was more than ten times less than his own, but the soldiers under his command still did not dare to take a step forward, so they could only drag Zhang Yan's arm and persuade loudly.

"What a failure!" Zhang Yan paused expressionlessly, let Yu Poison pull his arm and retreat, and only muttered in his mouth: "A certain family turned against Cao Cao, deceived Liu Bei, offended so many people and erected so many strong enemies, and even his son got in." For Yecheng, Jizhou, and millions of Montenegrin brothers can have enough to eat! Why? Why is God so blind? He was able to kill Yuan Xi right away. When he captured Yecheng, he happened to meet Lu Bu? Why did you meet Lu Bu? ”

"Dashuai, the green mountains left are here, don't be afraid of no firewood!" Seeing Zhang Yan, the handsome man of his own family who was invincible before, he suddenly showed this weak appearance, and Yu Poison also felt sorry for himself. It's just that now tens of thousands of Black Mountain thieves have no heart to fight, let alone Lu Bu. I'm afraid that when Yuan Xi successfully retreats into Yecheng a little later, the Jizhou soldiers who are gathering troops in the city will not let the Black Mountain thieves get a good go. Originally, it was easy for the sword to go sideways, and it was easy to get the current situation by chance. Unexpectedly, just because of Lu Bu's arrival, and even before the sword soldiers came into contact, the form took a sharp turn, not to mention Zhang Yan, who had just forcibly suppressed the pain of losing his son. Even Yu Poison also feels very aggrieved. But whether it is Zhang Yan or Yu Poison, they all know. That is to say, Lu Bujun has his own arrogance, and he refuses to attack himself and others behind his back, otherwise with the tired soldiers under his command now, he will not be able to resist Lu Bu's three thousand tigers and wolves no matter what, and he will fight without authorization, except for adding a military merit to the merit book of Lu Bu's soldiers, it is of no practical use at all. Yu Poison could only endure his grievances, and ordered Zhang Yan to leave here first.

"The great sage and good teacher do not mean that the heavens are dead. Huang Tian should stand? Why doesn't this thief take care of me and my brothers? The brethren bent their knees, and Cao Cao's subordinates were under him for ten whole years! Decade! Finally waited for today, just retreat! Something is unwilling! Never reconcile! The luster in Zhang Yan's eyes became more and more intense. In the madness, his whole body trembled, and Yu Yu couldn't hold Zhang Yan's arm. Seeing that Lu Bu's army was approaching, in desperation, Yu Poison could only be ruthless, and knocked the handle of the knife in his hand on the back of Zhang Yan's head, who was also delirious, and ordered his subordinates to break the organization to prevent Lu Bu's army from seeing through Zhang Yan's face and launching a surprise attack, dragging Zhang Yan away quickly.

"Wait! The Black Mountain Thief is right in front of him, why...... Why don't you hit it all the way? Taking advantage of this effort, Yuan Xi, who had been tightly protected by the Jizhou soldiers who had been surging up, was under the guidance of Yuan Shang, but he was heavily guarded in front of Lu Bujun, who had stopped his footsteps, and after giving a salute to Lu Bu, he asked with a smile.

"Second son Yuan, right? In the lower Qin Xu. "Don't say it's about Yuan Xi, even if you meet Yuan Shao, if Lu Bu is in a bad mood, he will say that he has to pay attention to it, let alone be Lu Bu, who thought that there was a good battle, but he didn't expect that in the end, it ended in a panic and retreated in a panic, and Lu Bu was unhappy. There is something to do with the son-in-law, Lu Bu is not in the mood to deal with Yuan Xi, in order to get Jizhou, only Qin Xu is reluctant to make it difficult. Fortunately, Qin Xu is the general of Xuzhou Assassin Shi Zhengdong in the official face, and his official position is only one level lower than Yuan Xi's father Yuan Shao, and it is not rude to talk to Yuan Xi like this: "I have heard for a long time that the second son of Yuan is sitting in Jizhou, and he has the will of the beginning, and he is the door of the Yuan family. ”

"It turned out to be Qin Envoy! The little nephew is polite! Lu Bu's attitude seemed to have been expected by Yuan Xi for a long time, and after listening to Qin Xu's self-introduction this time, Yuan Xi hurriedly pushed away the Jizhou soldiers who were blocking in front of him, and hurriedly returned the salute and said. Yuan Xi, who has experienced so much in this day, understands that what family and what reputation are false in these years, and only strength is an important criterion for measuring the level. If you want to put it before, don't say that it's just a "little" Xuzhou assassin history, even if it is Qin Xuguan to the third duke, it will not make Yuan Xi call himself a little nephew in such a low voice. But now, the Black Mountain bandits, who had just witnessed with their own eyes and almost took their lives, actually lacked the courage to draw their swords in the face of Lu Bujun, who was ten times weaker, and really had to make Yuan Xi, who had already made up his mind to borrow Lu Bu's banner, to see the reality clearly.

"Xianyi doesn't have to be so polite!" Seeing that Yuan Xi is so "polite", Qin Xu naturally will not be hypocritical, and said with a smile: "The Black Mountain thief is menacing, and its strength has been significantly improved with Liu Bei's funding." This time, this group of thieves was hindered by the prestige of my lord Lu Wenhou, coupled with the exhaustion of the troops in the previous war, so they temporarily retreated. And this time, our army is thinking about the friendship of the late Yuan Gong at the beginning, and after listening to Xianfu's request for help, he rushed to help, but there are only 3,000 soldiers who have traveled far away, and they really want to fight, heh, I can't say that I can't save Yecheng, and I will cause trouble for you! ”

"Retreat as advance? Showing weakness? Or is there something else going on? Qin Xu's words are not leaky, full of words of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and it really sounds like he is trying to repay Yuan Shao's kindness to Lu Bu as the pastor of Qingzhou. But Yuan Xi, who was already like a frightened bird, exploded in his heart when he heard it. Gratitude? That's a liar, isn't it? What did you do earlier? When you detained Yuan's advisers and calculated Yuan Shao, why didn't you come to repay your kindness? When Cao Cao's fake hand of the Son of Heaven wanted to merge the two states, why didn't he see you repay the favor? Okay. Now that Jizhou is surrounded by wolves, and Lu Bujun's forces can't help but intervene, but they want to repay their kindness?

"What Qin Yuanjun said is very true, it is the little nephew who is abrupt! The little nephew prepared a little wine in Yecheng, and hoped that Wen Hou, Qin Envoy Jun and the brothers would appreciate their faces, how about entering the city to rest a little? Yuan Xi said with a smile. Although Yuan Xi almost wanted to bite Qin Xu twice in his heart now, the situation was stronger than people now. Yuan Xi didn't dare to expect that the 20,000 Jizhou elite soldiers and euphorbia soldiers behind him would be able to hold the comeback of Liu Beijun and the Black Mountain bandit soldiers who had not been greatly injured, and even more, southwest Jizhou. There is also a Cao Cao who is eyeing each other. With the current predicament faced by Jizhou, firmly hugging Lu Bujun's thigh is what Yuan Xi, who has been overwhelmed by this series of changes, wants to do the most at present. As for the feelings of Jizhou generals such as Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw. was subconsciously ignored by Yuan Xi.

"Lord!" Wen Chou opened his jaw and heard that Yuan Xi actually wanted to invite Lu Bu, a tiger disciple, into the city. All of them had a change in their faces. Before Yuan Xi's series of actions, Wen Chou and other Jizhou generals thought that their lord Yuan Xi was fighting the idea of forming an alliance with Lu Bu. After all, although it is said that Lu Bu covets Jizhou, almost all the forces have made their own moves, but Lu Bu is the only one who does not move, even if he comes this time, he hurried in response to Yuan Shang's "request for help". Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw, who had never fought with Lu Bu head-on, even had a good impression of Lu Bujun, so that the ghosts who Qin Xu said before didn't want to believe it, these two people believed it. But even if there is a good feeling. also believed in Qin Xu's words to repay his kindness, but after Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw experienced and understood the humiliation of their own lord who had just been ruthlessly beaten by the group of black mountain thieves who had never looked down on them before. But he no longer believes in the so-called assistance in defense, the so-called common resistance, and so on. What's more, the origin of these words is just the process of getting Xuzhou from the kid Qin who was already the assassin of Xuzhou in front of him. It's really not a good idea for the two of them.

"Into the city? Xianyi: What is this saying! We were invited to help by Xianfu! If you easily enter Yecheng this time, and be seen by people with intentions, you still think that our volunteers have other plans, you can't do it! Seeing the vigilance of Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw, Qin Xu didn't have to think about it to know what these two people were thinking. Yuan Xi seems to have become much more knowledgeable after Liu Bei's affair with the Black Mountain Thieves, but as the leader of the 20,000 elite soldiers in Jizhou, as well as the leader of another elite army in the world that Yuan Shao relied on, Wen Choutong's attitude with Zhang Jaw also has considerable weight in some necessary aspects. Zhang Jaw said that he believed that after seeing Lu Bujun's arrogance, he would make a "wise" choice in the showdown, but Wen Chou was different. Wen Chou had already taken refuge in Yuan Shao when Yuan Shao was still too punctual for Bohai, and until Yuan Shao's violent death, he was already the same Yan Liang in Yuan Shao's forces and the two pillars of Yuan Shao's army, and his loyalty to the old Yuan family was far from being changed in a few words. Moreover, Wen Chou and Yan Liang have a very good relationship in private, although they are each their own masters at the moment, but in the face of Lu Bujun, Qin Xu can imagine that these two people will inevitably advance and retreat together. In other words, Lu Bu wants to win Jizhou smoothly, but in fact, Wen Chou, who controls nearly seventy percent of the troops in Yecheng, is the biggest obstacle. After all, even if he enters Yecheng at this moment and controls the real power, his own family will only have 3,000 troops.

"Nope! Absolutely not! Thanks to Wen Hou and Qin envoys to vote for righteousness, it shows that he has a deep friendship with his father, and the little nephew has nothing to repay, only to prepare a little wine to thank him. Qin Xu's words were extremely good, as if he was thinking about Yuan Xi everywhere. But when I heard Yuan Xi's ears, I was thinking differently. Seeing that Qin Xu said this, his eyes swept straight over Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw, Yuan Xi paused slightly, as if he had made up his mind, took out two bronze objects from his arms, held them in both hands, and in the shocked eyes of Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw, he presented them to Qin Xu, sighed heavily, and said: "Moreover, the little nephew still has one thing to ask for to wait for Qin Envoy." Just saw that the Black Mountain thief was so afraid of Wen Hou's soldiers, presumably Wen Hou's training must have superhuman features, the little nephew has no form, I implore Wen Hou to look at the face of the little nephew's father, and take the time to review the military situation for the little nephew? ”

There is a level to be said. But there is only one actual meaning, but this meaning makes Lu Bu, who has been there without saying a word and being cool, also change his face.

Talismans! What Yuan Xi presented turned out to be the talisman for mobilizing Jizhou soldiers and halberd soldiers! You must know that the biggest reason why Wen Chou and Yan Liang, two good friends, have the opportunity to serve the two masters, and even have a good chance of meeting each other with swords and soldiers, is that Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan each have talismans in their hands to mobilize the troops of their headquarters. This thing is just a piece of bronze if it is worthless, but in this era of backward communications, the military talisman is the only one that can prove the ownership of an army. The end is extremely important. And Yuan Xi regarded the talisman as a pledge at the moment, and the meaning he wanted to express was already very clear, so it was no wonder that Lu Bu's face changed.

In the absence of any discussion about the ownership of Jizhou, Yuan Xi took out the "sincerity" that Lu Bu couldn't refuse, and the plan was definitely not small without thinking about it, so that everyone, including Qin Xu, had to sigh, this Yuan family's junior second, is really willing to put down his book!
