Chapter 58: Who is the Yellow Sparrow (I)
LΓΌ Bu is belligerent, but not murderous.
The first camp did annoy Lu Bu. If it weren't for Lu Bu's luck, he was planted in the hands of Xian Dengying almost twice, which made Lu Bu endure it. What's more, these people not only seriously injured Cheng Lian, but also killed and injured more than 400 people in the Flying Cavalry Battalion, and almost wiped out the entire army.
As soon as Lu Lingqi's words fell, she was vetoed by Lu Bu without thinking about it, seeing that Qin Xu was about to open his mouth again, Lu Bu glared at Qin Xu with a warning in his eyes, and signaled Song Xian to hurry up. Even Lu Lingqi secretly pulled Qin Xu's sleeve and signaled Qin Xu not to resist Lu Bu at this time.
"Lord, the killing of prisoners is unknown, the enmity of the brothers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion, these people are not the culprit, I hope that the lord will temporarily extinguish the heart of slaughter and withdraw from Hanoi first!" As Qin Xu, who was traversing the crowd, he really couldn't see the slaughter of unarmed people, and seeing that Lu Bu was very decisive, Qin Xu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say.
"These people are not the culprit? Who is to blame? Lu Bu sneered: "Do you want me to kill Yuan Shao?" I have made up my mind, and I don't need to say more! β
"This ......"
"My lord, the sentry cavalry came to report, Yuan Shao ordered the general Yan Liang and Chun Yuqiong to lead an army of 30,000 to attack, and the front army has entered the border of the inner part of the river, less than three hundred miles away from Huaicheng." Just when Qin Xu was racking his brains to persuade Lu Bu, Zhang Liao received a report from the sentry and said to Lu Bu.
"How quickly Yuan Benchu came!" Lu Bu's face remained unchanged when he heard this, and the battle intent in his eyes was full.
"Lord, our army is tired, and there is a burden to drag down, so it is inconvenient to fight with it, and please stay away from the edge for the time being!" Zhang Liao persuaded.
"My lord! Our army's grain and grass weigh nearly 130,000 stones, and it must not be cheap, Yuan Shao! Qin Xu suddenly thought of a way that was not a solution, and said: "Why don't you let these prisoners who go to the camp first, each bear a stone of grain and grass, but you can save a lot of war horses to resist the enemy!" β
"You really don't achieve your goal, and you won't give up!" Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, these captives will be organized into miscellaneous soldiers, and you and Ling'er will escort their families with Gao Shun's camp, escort the grain and grass together, and leave first." β
"Daddy!" Lu Lingqi pouted so much, it was easy to have a chance to fight so quickly, but she didn't want to be broken up by Lu Bu again, no wonder this eldest lady was not very happy.
"No!" Qin Xu listened to what Lu Bu said, and he didn't understand that Lu Bu agreed to Qin Xu's request in disguise, and he didn't care about Lu Bu's presence, grabbed Lu Lingqi's little hand, and ran towards Song Xian.
Extrapolating from the schedule, the army sent by Yuan Shao to Huaicheng was sent out after the trial and match with Lu Yi set off from Yecheng. Presumably, Yuan Shao was skeptical about whether the strategists such as Feng Ji and the others could successfully kill Lu Bu.
Yuan Shao knew Lu Bu's strength too well, if only two strategists with a battalion of soldiers could make Lu Bu break his halberd, then Lu Bu would have died I don't know how many times.
A full army of 30,000. In the case of no food in Yecheng, it is already the limit of Yuan Shao's ability to send troops, plus the first camp sent before to defeat the world-famous White Horse Yicong, it can be seen how much Yuan Shao attaches importance to Lu Bu.
As the leading general of Yuan Shao's army, Yan Liang was very disdainful of the rumors of Lu Bu's invincibility, in order to prevent the trial from being in front of Yuan Shao, Yan Liang, who was not short on the way to Hanoi, urged the march, and traveled nearly five days late, but he arrived at the border of Hanoi on the second day of the trial to Huaicheng, which surprised everyone, and also made the trial who got the news unprecedentedly grateful to Yan Liang.
Under Qin Xu's advice, the lives of the remaining 300 people in the Xianden camp were preserved. But he was unarmed and played the role of porter. These people are the subordinates of Lu Yi, and they are very loyal to Lu Yi, and now Lu Yi is still there, and Qin Xu has no good way to subdue these people for a while. Fortunately, most of these people are from the Qiang people of Yongliang and worship the strong, although Lu Bu has now dispatched the vast majority of his troops to deal with the invading Yuan army, and there is a trap camp on the side, these people have not made a big mess.
The weight of 130,000 stones of grain and grass, plus the gold and silver coins moved from Meiwu, was full of nearly seventy carts, no wonder Yuan Shao offered such a high price at the beginning, but Qin Xu changed his mind about what Lu Bu said, and Boss Lu didn't care about Lao Yuan at all.
"Qin Xu, this time Feng Xianneng can avoid a difficulty, I heard that it is due to your meritorious service? You can advise not to kill the prisoners first, you are doing the right thing! "Qin Xu doesn't have much combat power, this kind of physical work can't be done by Qin Xu after the break, and there are Gao Shun and other soldiers from the trapping camp outside, so Qin Xu was "caught" by the Yan family and put in the car, and was praised by the Yan family without saying anything.
"This, it's just a little tight down there!" Qin Xu replied curtly. Being in the same car with Yan and Diao Chan, Qin Xu was very uncomfortable.
Lu Lingqi saw Yan like a mouse seeing a cat, and after being caught, she was obedient. At this time, he was sitting in the car with Yan, and when he heard Yan's praise for Qin Xu again, Lu Lingqi said again and again: "He has made a contribution, but I missed another opportunity to kill the enemy with my father, so I have to make him compensate!" β
"Yes, yes, the eldest lady is right, she is right!" A good man doesn't fight with a woman, not to mention that she is still a little girl, Qin Xu played like a treasure, which made the three girls laugh non-stop.
"Ling'er, you have to be kind to Master Qin in the future, don't always bully her, be careful ...... in the future" Diao Chan couldn't stop laughing halfway through speaking.
"Sister, you have to teach Ling'er well......" Yan also joined in the fun.
Lu Lingqi may not understand the meaning of Diao Chan's words because of her young age, but Master Qin is a human being in two lives, and being laughed at by two women who are younger than him in actual age, relying on the number of seniors, Qin Xu was a little difficult to adapt for a while.
"The two ladies and eldest lady will rest for a while, and go down to see if there is anyone who needs help from General Gao." Qin Xu had no choice but to borrow Gao Shun's name, and without waiting for Yan and Diao Chan to speak, he jumped out of the car as if he was running away.
Seventy carts, two miles away, Gao Shun trapped only more than 700 people in the camp, and he had to explore the road and patrol the sentry, and he really didn't have time to pay attention to Qin Xu, who was idle and panicked.
"Master Qin! Come on! Cai Yan's crisp voice came from the car, and Qin Xu came to his senses.
Since the misunderstanding with Cai Yan and the intimate contact, except for the night conversation with the old fox Jia Xu in the secret room, he has never seen Cai Yan's figure, but fortunately, this time Cai Yan and the others also left Hanoi with Lu Bujun, so that Qin Xu had the opportunity to see Cai Yan again.
"Sister Yan! Are you looking for me? Qin Xu lifted the curtain, and at first glance he saw Cai Yan, who was slightly haggard, and the surprise in his voice made Cai Yan's delicate face stain a hint of red.
"Uh-huh!" An old voice with a faint displeasure highlighted his presence.
Qin Xu noticed that in addition to Cai Yan, who had not been seen for a few days, his titular "retainer" Jia Xu was also there, the bottom of the car was covered with a thick quilt, and the unconscious Zhang Yang was also impressively listed, I don't know if it was because of the relationship between the roster, Jia Xu and Cai Yong, two people with completely different personalities, actually chatted quite a lot, and it was Cai Yong, a stubborn old man with a displeased face, who had just made Qin Xu slightly embarrassed.
"Master Qin, I don't know where General Lu left Hanoi this time, what is the destination?" Although Qin Xu was favored by Jia Xu, according to the gambling agreement, as long as he met several requirements given to Qin Xu by Jia Xu, Jia Xu would become Qin Xu's retainer, but in terms of title, Jia Xu was still very cold.
"Mr. Wenhe!" Seeing that there were so many old guys here, Qin Xu also put away his joke with Cai Yan, and said: "Yuan Shao once went to the court in order to win over the lord, and named the lord as the left general to lead Qingzhou pastor, and our army's trip was precisely to protect the lord to go to Qingzhou to take office. β
"Qingzhou?" Jia Xu frowned and thought for a long time, and said slowly: "Qingzhou is not a happy land, just now there are five princes mixed in with it, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, and Yellow Turban!" Each force has its own sphere of influence in Qingzhou, and General Lu's trip to Qingzhou is afraid that it will not be peaceful. β
Worthy of an old fox! In a word! Qin Xu said in his heart, but on the surface, he looked calm, and said: "The lord has the appointment edict and seal ribbon of the imperial court, are you afraid that they will not succeed?" β
When Jia Xu heard Qin Xu's words, he glanced at Qin Xu deeply and smiled without saying a word, but the stubborn old man Cai Yong said coldly: "General Lu's strength is unparalleled, but I am afraid that some people are obviously powerless and have no way to protect themselves, but they just make enemies everywhere and mix everywhere, and be careful that their lives will not be long!" β
I'm messing with you! Whether to kill your whole family or sleep with your daughter, we are your lifesavers! Since Chang'an, we have always looked at us unpleasantly. Qin Xu secretly slandered, if it weren't for Cai Yan's apologetic gaze, Qin Xu really didn't know if he would have maintained the good character of the Chinese nation respecting the elderly.
"Ahem!" Jia Xu saw that Cai Yong and Qin Xu were old and young like fighting cocks, and the topic was getting farther and farther, so he coughed lightly and said: "After General Lu broke off this trip, forgive Yuan Jun for not being able to hurt General Lu's ability, but I want to go to Qingzhou, except for the road through Yecheng, only this road we take, after crossing the big river, through Yanzhou into Qingzhou." However, now Yanzhou is very chaotic, Cao Cao's power is developing very quickly in Yanzhou, almost radiating the whole of Yanzhou, and it is an alliance with Yuan Shao, so you need to be careful. β
Cao Cao!
It's been a long time since I've thought about this name! Qin Xu suddenly remembered that when he first came to the end of the Han Dynasty, he wanted to try to defect to Cao Cao, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
"You doll master, you can still laugh at this time, and I don't know whether to praise you for not being surprised, or if you have no heart and lungs." Cai Yong said without yin or yang.
For Cai Yan's sake, I endure it! Qin Xu took a deep breath and said, "How to react in the future, don't ask Cai Zhonglang, as for how to borrow Yanzhou, Qin Xu is young, and there is really no clever plan, but isn't there still Mr. Wenhe?" β
"After all, you still have to ask about people! Tsk, the doll's master, General Lu is powerful in the world, but does this depend on people's skills......" Cai Yong stroked his beard with a contemptuous smile and said lightly. Jia Xu looked calm and unmoving, waiting for Qin Xu's next words.
"Cai Zhonglang's words, let's tell my lord, General Lu, to listen." Qin Xu rolled his eyes, took out something from his arms, and said with a smile: "As for how to borrow the road, with Mr. Wenhe here, Qin Xu is naturally worry-free!" β
