Chapter 55: Under the City of Huai
Qingzhou Mu, General Zuo?
It seems that Yuan Shao's attitude towards Lu Bu before was still very sincere, although the gold content of sincerity was unsatisfactory.
Yuan Shao listened to Feng Ji and the advice of the trial, married Lu Bu, and indirectly controlled Lu Bu to give him his life. So he opened the price of Qingzhou and entrusted Feng Ji to come to Hanoi to negotiate with Lu Bu.
"Yuan Benchu is really so kind?" Listening to what Qin Xu said, Lu Bu hesitated a little and said: "Jizhou borders Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao is ambitious, how can he give Qingzhou to Lu?" ”
"Yuan Shao's kindness is naturally limited, and the so-called Qingzhou Mu is just a name." Qin Xu had learned about the chaos in Qingzhou at this time, and said to Lu Bu: "Yuan Shao's nemesis, Gongsun Zhan, appointed Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai to occupy Dongwuyang, and his classmate Liu Bei occupied Pingyuan County, and his friend Kong Rong occupied Beihai County, Xuzhou Tao Qian also had an ambiguous relationship with Gongsun Zhan, and there were yellow turbans raging in the territory, which can be said to be hidden worries and enemies on all sides. ”
"Yuan Shao, is this trying to let Lu block behind enemy lines for him?" Lu Bu quickly reacted and said stupidly.
"If the eldest lady really marries Yuan Shang, the lord really has no room to refuse, but now!" Qin Xu sneered: "The lord's strength is unparalleled in the world, but it is a useless place for heroes, in Yuan Shao's opinion, Qingzhou is just an enclave, but it is exactly what the lord can't ask for, and the fat that is sent to his mouth, is the so-called heaven does not take it, but suffers from it, and it is not good not to eat it." ”
"I heard Gao Shun say that your kid showed good cooking skills on the way to Hanoi, this analogy is very appropriate." Lu Bu pointed at Qin Xu and said, "It's just that we have already offended Yuan Shao, I'm afraid Yuan Shao won't admit this edict, right?" ”
Qin Xu heard Lu Bu's question, knowing that Boss Lu wanted to benefit and didn't want to leave the handle, and said with a smile: "The lord can seal the Qingzhou pastor, obviously it is the imperial court to punish Dong for the lord, what is Yuan Shao doing?" On this ribbon, can there be his original font size? ”
"That makes sense!" Lu Bu made a decision. Due to the disappearance of Zhang Nan, the captain of the Xiandeng battalion, taking into account the news that Yuan Shao learned the news, he was angry and attacked Zhang Yang, so he ordered the whole army to rise, returned to Hanoi, and went to Qingzhou to take office. As for Yuan Shang and the Lu brothers who were trapped in Montenegro, Lu Bu was not interested at all.
When he came, he rushed and was busy all night, even if he was an elite soldier, he was a little tired, but it took a whole day and a half to return to about noon on the third day, and he rushed outside Huaicheng, but he happened to meet Zhang Liao who led the army to meet him.
From Zhang Liao's narration, it turned out that Zhang Liao Chenglian blocked Feng Ji Xu Yu in the room, and found out Yuan Shao's "sincerity" to Lu Bu before he knew what Yecheng really wanted, and the huge movement alarmed Zhang Yang. After learning of the conspiracy of Feng Ji and Xu You, Zhang Yang didn't say much else, and sent someone to open the city gate overnight, let Zhang Liao and others out of the city, sent his relatives to deliver letters and packages to Lu Bu, and sent Lu Bu's family to Lu Bu's military camp outside the city without concealing the Hanoi generals. After doing this, he ordered Yang Chou and other generals to lead troops to close the city gate, strictly ordered not to send troops, and made a decisive decision between Huaicheng and Lu Bu.
"It's really embarrassing for my childish uncle!" Lu Bu showed a rare hint of shame, looked at the city wall of Huaicheng, looked for a familiar figure, and muttered.
"Zhang Taishou, why is this? Could it be that he was afraid of being implicated by the lord, so he closed the four gates? Song Xian's face was full of suspicion, since he returned to Lu Bu, it seems that all those who are not good for Lu Bu have become the object of his hatred.
"General Song, don't talk nonsense! Zhang Taishou told me to wait, Yuan Shao had already moved to kill the lord, and he was afraid that he was going to send troops to attack. Qin Xu's expression was complicated, and he said slowly.
If others dared to say that Song Xian was talking nonsense, it would have already made this big man furious, but it was Qin Xu, and Song Xian, who had just accepted Qin Xu's favor, could only swallow this breath helplessly, and tried to make up a smile on his face.
Qin Xu didn't care about Song Xian's actions, for Zhang Yang, a good old man who was famous in the late Han Dynasty, Qin Xu didn't have any feelings before except lamenting the friendship between him and Lu Bu, and refuted Song Xian's words, but he didn't want this newly returned general to make Lu Bu feel disgusted.
"Not good!" Song Xian's words made Qin Xu suddenly remember something, and he was taken aback. Under the struggle in his heart, he didn't know whether to talk to Lu Bu or not.
"Qin Xu, what kind of expression do you have? If you have something to say, say it! Lu Bu didn't pay attention to the conversation between Qin Xu and Song Xian, and was about to order Zhang Liao to lead his troops to join the rest of the generals and their families to remove the military camp outside Huaicheng and leave Hanoi, when he suddenly saw Qin Xu staring at the Huaicheng city wall and staring at him silently, with a tangled look on his face, he couldn't help but question.
"Lord!" Qin Xu took a deep breath and just opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't talk about it, but saw that the door of Huaicheng suddenly opened, and Yang Chou, the head of the generals in Hanoi, slapped his horse out of the city and came to Lu Bu with a smile on his face.
"General Lu, my family Taishou suddenly remembered that there are still some things to tell you alone, I hope you can go to the city with the last general!" Yang Chou was already very hideous, but he made such a gesture, which made Lu Bu feel disgusted, but when he heard Zhang Yang say that he had something to talk to him about, he didn't want to think about it, so he wanted to go into the city with him.
"Slow down!" Qin Xu said suddenly.
In Lu Bu's puzzled gaze, Qin Xu stared at Yang Chou coldly for a moment, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Zhang Taishou closed the four gates of Huaicheng, this move is already equivalent to cutting off the robe and righteousness with my lord General Lu, what is there to say?" ”
"Qin Xu, you!" Hearing Qin Xu actually say such a thing, Lu Bu's face froze, and he was about to get angry, but he suddenly saw that the corners of Qin Xu's eyes were slightly raised, as if he had a deep meaning, so he forcibly held back his anger and did not continue with an iron face.
"Master Qin's words are wrong!" Yang Chou had seen Qin Xu when he was discussing the military tent, and knew that although the young man in front of him had a small official position, he could influence Lu Bu's actions, so he didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile: "Now everyone in Huaicheng knows that General Lu has hated Yuan Gong. I advocate that Yang take refuge in the Yuan family, and naturally want to avoid suspicion, so the city gate is closed. It's just that my lord has a very personal relationship with General Lu after all, and when he sent General Lu's family out of the city, he forgot a very important thing and didn't talk about it, in order to avoid Yuan Gong's eyes and ears, he asked General Lu to ride into the city alone, with General Lu's force, isn't the Qin master still worried that I will not be able to harm General Lu? ”
Although Yang Chou is a military general, but after all, he is the head of the generals in Hanoi, these words are clear and clear, and he can secretly calculate Qin Xu while complimenting Lu Bu, and he actually heard Lu Bu nodding frequently, but out of trust in Qin Xu, although Lu Bu was quite anxious, he still did not move.
"Is it really Zhang Taishou who invited my father-in-law?" Qin Xu smiled slightly. Yang Chou's words were so perfect, there was almost no mistake, as if he had already rehearsed Lu Bu's surname Ge Spleen thousands of times, and every sentence spoke in Lu Bu's heart.
"Master Qin doesn't know anything." Yang Chou's face was calm, but there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes, and he said: "My lord got the news that General Lu attacked Yecheng, and Yuan Gong knew everything, and he had already sent a large army to Hanoi at night. Time is pressing, and I hope that Master Qin will not be unreasonable anymore. ”
By the end of Yang Chou's words, he was already a little impatient, and Lu Bu became more and more anxious, but he saw that the smile on the corner of Qin Xu's mouth was getting bigger and bigger, and he barely held back and didn't speak.
"Lord's Day mourning!" Qin Xu shook his head with a smile, took the reins of his horse and walked a few steps behind Lu Bu, and suddenly said something that surprised Lu Bu and Yang Chou at the same time.
"Qin Xu, what do you mean by this?" Lu Buying's eyes glared angrily, and he turned his head to look at Qin Xu.
"Lord, quickly capture Yang Chou! It's too late! Qin Xu ignored Lu Bu's angry gaze, and instead pointed at Yang Chou, whose face had changed drastically and wanted to flee, and shouted.
"Kill!!"
Lu Bu had not yet come to his senses, only to see that on the wall of Huaicheng, which was full of "Zhang" banners, he suddenly remembered a burst of cannons, and a row of soldiers wearing Yuan Shao's armor suddenly stood up, holding in his hand, it was the first crossbow that almost made Lu Bu suffer, and above the city gate, on a big yellow banner erected, a big "trial" word, standing against the wind.
"Ahh Lu Bu suddenly understood the meaning of Qin Xu's words, and was suddenly shocked, but it was a pity that he was a step too late, Yang Chou saw that Qin Xu saw through it, and fled, he was already close to the moat, and the gate of Huaicheng had also risen obliquely, just waiting for Yang Chou to jump in, and he was about to close the city gate.
"My lord!"
"Yang ugly child! How dare you scorn me! Lu Bu was suddenly furious, ignoring Qin Xu's shouts, and rushed towards Yang Chou.
"Lu Bu has finally taken the bait!" The judge on the city wall had a mocking face, and when he saw that Lu Bu was riding the red rabbit horse, he had already rushed behind Yang Chou in just one breath, and sneered: "Release the arrow!" ”
"Be careful, lord!" Seeing that Qin Xu didn't stop Lu Bu's figure, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's two generals rode out and were about to pick up Lu Bu. Qin Xu suddenly saw a slight wave of a person's hand under the big flag on the city wall, and suddenly his heart sank, and he warned loudly.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
The nearly 100 soldiers on the wall of Huaicheng who were armed with Xiandeng crossbows were not comparable to Wei Xu's more than 20 personal entourage. As soon as Qin Xu's words fell, he saw that under the light of the sky, a screen suddenly appeared, flashing with dazzling colorful light, shooting towards Lu Bu, who had already rushed to the edge of the moat and captured Yang Chou.
"Lord!?" Qin Xu shouted angrily, and his heart was cold. The giant crossbow in the hands of those people on the city wall, Qin Xu had seen it in the camp of Lu Bu at the head of Taihang Mountain, according to Lu Bu, this kind of giant crossbow can shoot five crossbow arrows at a time, and the power is incomparable, he was almost injured under this kind of crossbow arrows, there are only twenty bodies, but now, there are hundreds of them on the city wall of Huaicheng.
More than 500 crossbow arrows were aimed at Lu Bu, even if Lu Bu was resurrected, I am afraid that under this kind of divine weapon, it would be difficult to escape the misfortune of the crossbow arrows piercing the chest.
Qin Xu subconsciously turned around, not daring to look, his vest was soaked in cold sweat that broke out instantly, could it be because of his arrival, although it changed the historical trajectory after Lu Bu abandoned Chang'an, and he no longer had to live in various places like before, but he had to die under Huaicheng?
