Zhang Liao and Lu Bu have a good relationship, and they are extremely cautious and upright, which is a rare handsome talent. Qin Xu knew the ability of this general, nicknamed Ganghou. Therefore, after listening to Zhang Liao's shameful words that Duzhen, a plain county that hangs alone outside Qingzhou, was quite powerless, he did not have the slightest slackness. On the contrary, because of Lu Lingqi's relationship, on the way to the plains, he repeatedly treated her with the courtesy of juniors, which made Zhang Liao's attitude towards Qin Xu really closer.

As I said before, because of regional reasons, the plain country is said to be the governance of Qingzhou, but it is separated by a big river. In addition, although the plain country is called a county country, in fact, the jurisdiction is only slightly larger than that of ordinary county seats. And it is impossible for Qingzhou to use this plain county town with few people and broken cities and difficult transportation as a "bridgehead", even if the forces of other counties want to get involved in Qingzhou, it is impossible to waste troops for such a barren land, in fact, whether it is the predecessor of Qingzhou Assassin Shi Jiaohe or Yuan Shao, who is bent on plotting against Qingzhou, I am afraid that they all have this in mind. So much so that at the beginning of the rebellion in Hebei, Gongsun Zhan, who occupied half of Youzhou, played his classmate Liu Bei as the plain order, and Yuan Shao didn't even have a decent defensive arrangement in the face of Liu Bei, who was close at hand, and directly poured the soldiers of Jizhou into a desperate fight with Gongsun Zhan, and was succeeded by Qin Xu's plot of Jizhou's grain and grass at that time. Just like Cao Cao's famous password in history, chicken ribs and chicken ribs, it is a pity to abandon them, and the food is tasteless. That's about it.

But since Lu Bu won Qingzhou, especially after Lu Bujun's unprecedented strength showed a different kind of demand. The status of the "enclave" of the plains is a little more delicate.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Although Lu Bu built Qingzhou, which faced the sea on one side and had a big river moat on the other, like an iron bucket, it was quite at odds with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Several times made Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's two "old" forces deflated. These two people can't wait to do anything that can make Lu Bu unhappy, and they have to rush to do it. In this way, the location of the plains is a bit of an intriguing.

Whether it is the final return of the county or the two fraud cases during the great drought, it can almost be seen that there is a shadow of the operation of other forces that are unhappy with Lu Bujun. So much so that even if Lu Bu sent Zhang Liao, who was the most capable of being in charge of his command, to guard here, the situation was repeated, and there was no good way to make this handsome talent, one of the five good generals of Wei in history. It is enough to see a spot in the complex situation of the plain.

Originally, it was based on Qin Xu's previous strategy with his subordinate strategist Jia Xu. The plain is just a resting place, and the main "battlefield" is still within Jizhou.

But because of the previous river incident, Cheng Yu, Cao Cao's confidant, was captured again. After several accidents, Qin Xu had the intention to change his previous plan to sneak into Hebei to act secretly, but after listening to what Zhang Liao said, he had a little calculation.

Plain. It's really hard to determine the barren land between these sacrifices. Maybe it's good to use it, and maybe it can really become a breakthrough point that doesn't let Cao Cao specialize in beauty.

You must know that Cao Cao's intention to get involved in Hebei is already known to passers-by except for the monarchs and ministers in Xuchang City. With the righteousness of the Son of Heaven Fu Festival, even if the surrounding forces are red, breaking the sky is just like Qin Xu, secretly stumbling on Boss Cao who wants to eat alone. That's it, and it has to be in the stable period before the current big man tends to be completely chaotic. Hide and act in private. lest someone grab the handle, and make a rafter out of thin air. But right now, since God has given Cheng Yu such a fragrant bait in his hands, if he doesn't make good use of it, he always feels that he is really sorry for not taking off the cavalry camp and being a target for half an hour in vain.

"Order, first go to the camp to temporarily serve as a guard, the whole army will put on armor, play a guard of honor, let's enter the city!" Since crossing the river, Qin Xu, who had been secretly thinking about it for a long time along the way, finally made a decision, and ordered the deputy commander of the Xiandeng battalion beside him to lead and say.

"General Qin! This...... Plains is not like other states and counties...... "Zhang Liao knew that Qin Xu was acting dangerously, but he didn't expect to be too impulsive. Although seeing Qin Xu's style, he seemed to have a plan, but he couldn't help but want to remind Qin Xu that the plain was different from Qingzhou and even other states and counties in Xuzhou before.

"General Wenyuan is kind, Qin has a heart! But isn't the plain one of the six counties and three places in my Qingzhou? Since Qin is the commander of the Qingzhou Barracks, this time he is the acting lord 'inspecting' this place, how can he be lifeless. Let some people who secretly peep at Qingzhou's map look down on it. Qin Xu looked like a pioneer, and said with an "arrogant" command.

Zhang Liao's meaning Qin Xu understood very well. At present, the focus of Lu Bu's army is to maintain stability, to put it bluntly, it is to accumulate grain and build a high wall, and the strategic focus is also biased towards Yangzhou, Jiangdong, here in the north, if there is no Cao Cao's sudden trouble, it is impossible to say that as long as it can take advantage of the complex situation of the plain, it can be achieved a delicate balance, and it will drag on for a while, just wait for Lu Bu to free up his hands, and then slowly clean up. Besides, the purpose of Qin Xu's trip, Zhang Liao is also clear, not to mention anything else, it is absolutely necessary to conceal his whereabouts. But as soon as Qin Xu came out like this, it was a guard of honor and armor, not to mention concealment, he almost revealed his identity when he caught someone. At present, Hebei is a barrel of explosives, and not everyone can blatantly mix it with one hand.

"That's it!" However, Zhang Liao had also worked with Qin Xu for a period of time after all. I also know some of Qin's "means", as early as that time, Zhang Liao had already served as the commander of the elite cavalry cavalry battalion of the Lu Bu Army, second only to the trapped camp, as a cavalry captain, but Qin Xu was only a small master of the inner government at that time, but in the battle of Pingqingzhou, Qin Xu said several times that millions of people would descend without spending a single soldier and a soldier, and perfectly completed what others did not dare to think about, which had already made Zhang Liao see the difference between Qin Xu. Therefore, seeing that Qin Xu, who was originally modest to himself, suddenly changed his way of the wind and intended to swagger through the market with such fanfare, although Zhang Liao felt that it was inappropriate, he did not ask too much, and even secretly ordered the accompanying soldiers to return to the city first, and told the soldiers defending the city to try their best to follow Qin Xu's wishes, just to see General Qin, who would always bring surprises to people in the current situation. What kind of unbelievable way will come out this time?

"No! This is what I will do! "To say that Zhang Liao still has some thoughts about weighing Qin Xu's ability, and recruiting this as a general who has followed Qin Xu since Qin Xu became famous, but he has witnessed Qin someone turn the impossible into a possible thing again and again. In the eyes of the lead. Even if everyone knows that there are many spies in Pingyuan City now, although the people's hearts are still stable, it is impossible for the hearts of the people who have been manipulated by Liu Bei, the "last" Pingyuan State Minister, to turn to Lu Bu's side so quickly after two unprovoked fraud cases. And the only person who can resolve this drawback, except for the young and unspeakable General Qin in front of him, really doesn't think twice.

"Wait! It's not just about gaining momentum. It is best to pretend that Cheng Yu inadvertently colluded with the Montenegrin thieves with the intention of attacking friendly troops, but was captured by our army. I also spread it out with a little bit of 'condiment'. The main highlight is that the brothers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion tried to exercise restraint before their own casualties, and also emphasized the matter. I want to hear the echo of Cao Cao in the shortest possible time! He had just taken two steps before he was called back by Qin Xu. The face-to-face teacher said appropriately.

"General Qin, you're fine!" The local recruits are the same as the "experts" in this area who have not come with them this time. Sima Mao, the commander of the camp who specializes in dirty work, has a good personal relationship, and even learned eight or nine points of the mantra, seeing that Qin Xu has no intention of continuing to say, he clenched his fists and left.

"Didn't General Qin want to take advantage of the current situation of many spies in the Plains City to let Cao Cao know through their mouths, so as to cause chaos because of Cheng Yu's matter?" Zhang Liao, who consciously saw through a little bit of Qin Xu's drawing, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then asked immediately.

"Part of it!" Qin Xu looked at the dilapidated plain county city wall that was getting closer and closer. smiled and said to Zhang Liao: "But I don't expect Cao Cao to be fooled." He knew that I would not kill Cheng Yu just for personal anger at such a time to break the covenant between the two allies. ”

"That'...... What does General Qin mean? Could it be that he was trying to blackmail Cao Cao into doing something? At present, Cao Cao came to Hebei with the Son of Heaven Fu Festival to mediate the war between the two Yuans. With just one strategist, it is simply difficult to shake Cao Cao's inevitable situation against Ji and the two states. Even if he knew that his strategists were colluding with the Montenegrin bandits, it was estimated that at most he would send someone over to negotiate with us. In that way, not only did it reveal General Qin's whereabouts, but it was even easier for Cao Cao to prepare for the purpose of the general's trip, which ...... "Rao is Zhang Liao is more than ten years older than Qin Xu, he has been a general in the army for many years, and he has been in charge for more than a year, but he still can't guess Qin Xu's intentions."

"General Wen Yuan is too worried!" Hearing Zhang Liao suddenly say such a paragraph, it can almost be said that he is reassuring. Qin Xu also knew that the reason why this tiger general said this was that more than eighty percent of them inherited Lu Lingqi's affection by his side at the moment, but he was still quite grateful, and said with a smile at the moment: "The reason why Qin planned to secretly pass through the plains, turn around to Bohai County, Jizhou, visit the Zhen family in Changshan, and then go around a big circle and transfer to Jizhou. On the one hand, there can be an excuse to visit friends and relatives, and on the other hand, I hope to reduce my vigilance after Cao Cao discovers my whereabouts. General Wen Yuan also knew that although our army and the Cao army were allies, the old feud between the two armies could not be eliminated with a few simple words. I'm afraid that if we don't do this, as long as someone in our army shows up in Jizhou, I can't say that Cao Cao, such a delicate person, will soon understand our intentions and aim at us, and list us as the biggest stumbling block that hinders him from reaching into Jizhou, and he is eager to get rid of it as soon as possible. But now the situation has changed. Since Cheng Yu can have the leisure to allocate military ships to plot against us, I believe that Cao Cao will inevitably know that our army has actually begun to meddle in Hebei's affairs. Thanks to the 'help' of our Mr. Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde, I also have an excuse to cross the border to crusade against the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and the giant thieves in Montenegro. can finally be on moral parity with Cao Cao. ”

"What does the general mean is that Cao Cao will soon find out that he was captured alive by all of us this time, and no one escaped? Belch...... It's Liao who lost his word! Zhang Liao subconsciously asked, followed by a flush on his face, and he knew that he had asked a question that was not very clever. Cheng Yu is just a strategist under Cao Cao. Since the more than 20 warships can be mobilized, it seems that this incident is likely to be Cao Cao's plan, taking a step back, even if it is not Cao Cao's strategy, the people who handed over these warships to Cheng Yu will have doubts about the whereabouts of these ships and soldiers who suddenly "disappeared", think about it carefully, and even end up no matter what. will let Cao Cao find out on his own head. In this way, it is really not as good as Qin Xu, who directly explained things clearly in front of the gong. Hit the ball back in front of Cao Cao. Let's see how Cao Cao's explanation is.

"That is the case, after all, the general is not a native of the plains, Liao has sometimes had some trouble with the leading figures here in order to find out the news in the past year, and this time he also happened to help General Qin!" In order to make up for the "mistake" that he had just suspected of Qin Xu, Zhang Liao took the initiative to say this time.

"It couldn't be better!" Qin Xu's smile became more and more sincere, and he arched his hand and said to Zhang Liao: "This time I have Wenyuan's help. Presumably after Cao Cao learned the news, he would really be furious! ”

Not to mention that Qin Xu, with the help of Zhang Liao, arranged for Zhao Zhao and others to take the opportunity to attack this time. Spread the imagination according to the basic facts; At the place where Lü Bu got out of Hanoi and met Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan, the two armies of Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan, in the camp of Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao, who has become more and more powerful in recent years. is rare to Cao Ren and Cao Chun's uncle and nephew who were brought out this time. Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang and other generals were angry that they didn't know when they looked like this last time.

It is said that when Qin Xu was at the end of the Han Dynasty, he was bent on taking refuge in Cao Cao and taking advantage of the big tree to enjoy the shade, in fact, it was also a pretty good choice to be careful. At least Qin is like a worm in Boss Cao's stomach in many things, and he guesses Cao Cao's reaction.

The plains are not very far from Hakuba, and they go upriver along the river. It only takes two or three days to get there. If it's a tailwind, it might be faster. But Cheng Yu made an assertion this time, and at the junction of the three states, he colluded with Montenegrin traitors to attack friendly troops who wanted to go to other counties in Benzhou "for no reason", but was finally captured by the people who came to answer in one fell swoop, but it only took half a day to appear on the case of Cao Cao's handsome account. Let Boss Cao, who was bound to win Hebei Hebei and Erzhou, be upset for no reason.

Qin Xu! Qin Xu! Why is it Qin Xu again! Cao Cao almost subconsciously looked at the bottom of the inside sleeve of his robe, which had been replaced with a name embroidered with gold thread that made people love and hate, and loved it and hated it.

Although the news said that Qin Xu was probably trying to solve the well-known Qingzhou Plain fraud case, he was provoked by Cheng Yu for no reason. But Cao Cao was really as Qin Xu and Zhang Liao said, and he saw through Qin Xu's ultimate intention at a glance.

Feign! What to pack! It's just that he wants to get a piece of the fat in Hebei Erzhou, so that such a trick can only deceive others. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Bu didn't have any thoughts about Jizhou or even Hebei, Qin Xu would just go to the plains to make soy sauce, and he wouldn't believe it if he killed Lao Cao!

And the most important thing is that there is Qin Xu mixing in this.

Especially the "breakthrough" chosen by Qin Xu, Cao Cao always felt that Qin someone, who had not played cards according to common sense at all, did he know something!

Black Mountain Thief! Black Mountain Thief! Cao Cao's mind is full of this term now! Even complained about Cheng Yu! Cheng Zhongde is also in his fifties, and he is quite reliable in his daily affairs! How could it be that meeting someone Qin was like pouring brine into his brain and making a head of blood tofu? Even if you really think that you have a good time, you can get rid of a future trouble, and you can transfer troops! If you are captured alive, you will be captured alive! But how could Qin Xu discover this group of "ancestors"? It's scary to think about!

The Black Mountain thief is indeed related to Cao Cao. And it's not shallow. Even as early as when the Black Mountain thief Bai Rao occupied Puyang, he had already had contact with Cao Cao, the capable general who had cleared the Yellow Turban. It involved a secret case of a yellow turban, which was not known to outsiders. It's just that since Bai Rao retreated to Puyang at that time, the Black Mountain thieves have never severed their contact with Cao Cao. Cao Cao was also blushing when he saw that Lu Bu relied on Qin Xu to collect millions of yellow turban men and women, and in one fell swoop turned Qingzhou, which was originally barren and sparsely populated, into a relatively densely populated Central Plains state. It is indeed a good opportunity to take advantage of this God-given opportunity to whitewash the black mountain thieves who have been entrenched in Hebei for many years and are familiar with the affairs of Sanzhou, and they are no longer familiar with the affairs, major events, and small affairs, and become a big help for themselves to Dinghe. The wishful thinking is called a quack, although there is no abacus this year.

But now, because of Cheng Yu's momentary "impulse", Cao Cao has a premonition that the situation is out of control. Originally, at the moment, almost all the forces in the Central Plains are accumulating strength and recuperating from the time, he Cao someone is the first to be able to do what others cannot, through the fight between the two boys of the Yuan family in Hebei, with the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, and the possibility of other large and small forces getting involved in Hebei one step ahead, with the help of the Hedong Wei clan, if the news of the surrender of the Black Mountain thieves is released at the right time, plus as long as the speed is fast enough and the means are beautiful enough, pacifying Hebei is just a matter of time!

But right now, with such an idea, it was an excuse for someone Qin to bite a Cheng Yu to collude with the Black Mountain thieves to attack the friendly army, and the situation that was completely beneficial to the Cao clan was completely broken. And he also "exposed" his whereabouts with great fanfare, waiting for him Cao Cao to "explain" with a aggrieved look, but on the other hand, he took the opportunity to peek into the situation of Jizhou according to the plains, really when he Lao Cao couldn't see that Qin Xu was okay and wanted to find fault, didn't he? (To be continued......)
