Chapter 575: The Han Dynasty Collapses, and the Heroes Dance (24)
Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. The morning light is cold, the spring is cold, and the slightly mournful sound of the long qin was faintly heard from the frame of the send-off, accompanied by the horse's hooves kicking, appearing ten miles south of Linzi City, Qin Xu, who was wearing a thin jacket and light armor, only took fifty guards, straddled the horse, and said goodbye to Lu Bu and a group of family members who came to see him off.
In this Jiangdong matter, under the actual situation of each performing his duties at the moment and Qin Xu's insistence, Lu Bu finally nodded and agreed, and Qin Xu sat in Jiangdong to deal with Liu Biao's brazen attack.
Compared with the previous time when he was either ordered at the moment of life and death, or forced by the situation, and temporarily led the army as Lu Bu's son-in-law, this is the first time that Qin Xu has taken the initiative to ask to lead the army alone, and he is still fighting across the border thousands of miles away, to be honest, even Qin Xu doesn't know what evil he has committed.
In fact, just as Lu Bu meant in his words, he could have gotten away. As a first-time father, not only does he have two precious daughters, but also seeing that Lu Lingqi's due date is imminent, what a wonderful thing it would be if he could stay with his wife and children and watch the continuation of his bloodline in this lonely foreign land? Not to mention that there are still Gan Qian and Mi Zhen in the backyard who are waiting to be "taken" by someone in his Qin. With such days when you don't envy the drunken beauty and wake up to the power of the world, why bother galloping thousands of miles to fight with Liu Biao? Isn't that stupid?
And Jiangdong in this year is not the land of fish and rice in later generations, a paradise on earth, except for many people who have taken refuge in the Central Plains in Wu County, that is, Yuzhang County has rice that crops twice a year because of geographical reasons. It can barely be regarded as a grain-producing land, and other counties, especially Huiji, Danyang and other counties and Xiazhi counties. Because of the frequent flooding of rivers and the rebellion of barbarians, it is not an exaggeration to say that the poor man is bad water, the land is vast and the people are sparse. In such places, although Qin Xu, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others have begun to use land to encourage and attract the population in a planned way, it will take several years or even more than ten years to achieve initial results. It's Lu Bu. Speaking in my heart, at this time, it was just to provoke Liu Biao's undeclared war, and he chose the rear of Lu Bu's army at this time, which caused great inconvenience to the army in terms of strategic layout. Compared with Youzhou, Bingzhou and Jizhou, which Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan entrenched and coveted in the north, Lu Bu's current interest in Jingxiang is far less than the former.
But after all, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat! Lu Bu's original intention was to personally meet this daring to be the first to brush the tiger's whiskers in addition to his own anger. And it is said that he is currently the closest Han clan relative to the first emperor. What kind of mind are you playing! Jiujiang County, which had Cao Cao's empty troops, did not want to provoke, but wanted to divide the troops into two ways, and the people who trekked through mountains and rivers came to provoke Lu Bujun, who had never had friction with him. That's it, and even borrowed 10,000 Wuling barbarians to open the way for the vanguard.
Anyone who dares to collude with other races, Qin Xu will kill him. This is what Qin Xu said in public when Yuan Shu led the Southern Xiongnu into the pass to attack Chen Liu. Although since the history of China, almost all the northern aliens have gone south to slaughter the Central Plains, the southern aliens have never had the opportunity to cross the river. But that doesn't mean these people are good. Today is a troubled era in which the monarch is not the monarch and the minister is not the minister. All the forces have a small account in their hearts, and this is not even Liu Biao, the legendary elegant gentleman. are trying to find a "soft persimmon" pinch, eyeing the vast land of Jiangdong, if it really makes Liu Biao cheaper, unless Lu Bujun does not want to advance an inch in the future, but if he has some thoughts, he cannot be allowed to retreat in the big strategic layout.
Therefore, whether it is for Liu Biao to collude with foreign races to invade Jiangdong and hurt the prestige of the Lu Bu army, or to protect the "big rear" strategic concept of the Lu Bu army, Qin Xu, who has always advocated taking the land of Jiangdong as a strategic depth with Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zang Hong, etc., must have a strong statement.
The most powerful counterattack and the general strategy of consolidating our army, the most straightforward way is to fight directly and fight Liu Biao! Conquer Liu Biao! At the same time, it also deterred other forces, and clearly distinguished the "priorities" of the matter, so as not to see Cao Cao using Lu Bujun as a shield, and Lu Bu did not "resist", so he "obediently" joined the army, and felt that Lu Bujun was easy to bully.
Moreover, Jiangdongzhi said that when Qin Xu attacked Hebei in LΓΌ Bu, he personally led tens of thousands of troops of Qingzhou soldiers and Danyang soldiers, all the way from north to south, from east to west. For the four counties of Yangzhou, the Qingzhou soldiers lost nearly thirty percent of the battle, and the Danyang soldiers also lost thousands of people. It's really unbearable! Not to mention the sudden "disappearance" of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others in Yuzhang County, the seat of Yuzhang County, made Qin Xu mutter. Therefore, he ordered Jia Xu's shadow to investigate the news in Jiangdong, especially the investigation of Yuzhang, Huiji and other places, which was almost comparable to Jia Xu's monitoring of Cao Cao's army after the incident in Xuchang.
The publicly-owned Liu Biao violated the border for no reason and colluded with the national enemies of Wulingman! The mystery of the inexplicable loss of traces of Sun Ce's army, which made Qin Xu incomprehensible, so Qin Xu's trip to Jiangdong must go!
"Zhong Ming is going to Yangzhou, be more careful! The land of Jiangdong is not as good as the Central Plains, the mountains and rivers are vicious, and the cold and heat are unknown. You must remember to reduce the lining when you are warm, and add clothes to the cold, so as not to make people think about it! "The first camp has been selected at the fifth watch, so at this time, in addition to the fifty guards of the first camp led by Lu Yi himself waiting on the side of the road, Lu Bu's side brought Yan and Diao Chan to see Qin Xu off for the first time. And the one who spoke was Qin's genuine mother-in-law, Yan's. A loving mother carefully straightened the corners for Qin Xu, turned around again, and very solemnly saluted Lu Yi, the commander of the first camp who hurriedly dismounted and bowed down, and said solemnly: "General Qi! The rest of the women should not have interfered in military affairs. However, although my child has a little bit of wisdom, he is still too young, and he is inevitably impulsive in the battle array. β
"Madame, the end of the war! But rest assured, Madame! The last general waited for a long time to receive the great favor of the lord, and there was nothing to repay, even if the blood was splashed for five steps this time, he would inevitably protect General Qin! If General Qin comes back with no injuries, please ask Mrs. to cure the crime of lying in vain! Rao is such an arrogant character, when he saw the official wife of his father-in-law, and the once world-famous Mrs. Diao Chan saluted him, he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly agreed.
"Ahem! Female streamers! That's it! Brat! This time, pay more attention to your own life! Not! Come back alive! If there is a length that makes a certain daughter, mother and son sad, be careful of a certain Fang Tian painting halberd! Lu Bu just stopped the movements of Yan and Diao Chan in anger, and just snorted lowly, he suddenly found that Lu Lingqi, who was holding a big belly, got off the frame with the support of Gan Qian and Mi Zhen, staring at Qin Xu from a distance as if he was reluctant to blink, and Cai Yan also stopped playing the beautiful melody that Qin Xu had hummed when he was bored before, and Qin Xu's widow and sister-in-law Du Yan were holding the Qin family's treasures Qin Daya and Qin Erya, who were still ignorant and ignorant of the world, and they were also like Wangfu stones, none of them saw the shrewdness of the past, and only looked at Qin Xu in a daze. In the majestic scene in his mind, the lord sent the general to make meritorious service on the battlefield, and he was stunned to make eighteen gifts to these women, if this scene continues like this, let alone catch up with the first battalion army that has already set off, it is estimated that Qin Xu will not be able to leave. In desperation, Lu Bu could only risk being served by his own wife and concubine back to his family, and the women of the Qin Mansion were white-eyed, coughed angrily, and said to Qin Xu with a vicious look.
"Lord and mother-in-law, rest assured! And Lao temporarily helps the son-in-law take care of his family, and when Xu solves the disease of scabies in Jiangdong, he must return it in time! Qin Xu was also a little embarrassed. People say that three women in one play, like Lu Bu, originally expected that it should have been a mighty and majestic general to go on the expedition, but for no reason the "three plays" added up by the two families made the "war movie" into a "romance movie", how can the love be embarrassing! How embarrassing! Didn't you see that your father-in-law and Boss Wen Houlu's faces were about to be choked green. Qin Xu hurriedly finished speaking, hurriedly rushed to his own family members and Lu Bu and his wife, who couldn't walk anymore, hugged their fists and gave a military salute, gave Lu Yi a look, turned the reins, and led the troops to the south.
The wind was fast, and Qin Xu, Lu Yi and the others only caught up with the army that was resting in situ near the corner of Jinan Country in just over an hour. After a little rest and feeding the horses, Qin Xu sent soldiers to send a message to Zhang Liao, who was on standby, saying that there was no need to go out to greet him, so he bypassed the border of Jinan and stepped directly into the territory of Pengcheng, Xuzhou.
This kind of rapid march is not that Qin Xu does not care about horsepower and manpower. It was only after staying away from Qingzhou that Qin Xu's face really showed a trace of anxiety. It is true that Liu Biao is not worried, and the barbarians are not worried, but Guo Jia, who can make Guo Jia, who can be counted as a death in history even if it is a testament and a major event in Liaodong, is so urgent to send out a six-hundred-mile urgency, although I don't know what the reason is, but it is conceivable that the matter is definitely not small. From the news that Jia Xu's Shadow Fast Horse sent back to Linzi, to the time that Zang Ba should have sent someone from Danyang to send the news to Jiankang City in Wu County, where Guo Jia was located, and then Guo Jia sent someone across the river to send the news to Linzi City, which was twice as far as the front and rear feet, and appeared in front of Qin Xu and Lu Bu, what does this mean? Qin Xu heard Jia Xu say that the soldiers sent by Guo Jia to deliver the six-hundred-mile urgent letter were still because they were traveling day and night, changing horses on the road without changing people, and they broke two good war horses before the letter was delivered, and even just briefly said the general outline of Jiangdong affairs, and then fainted, and even under the personal diagnosis and treatment of Hua Tuo, the divine doctor in Lu Bu's mansion, he did not wake up until Qin Xu set out on the expedition. It can be seen that although the situation was expected by Qin Xu to be very serious, it may actually be even worse. Therefore, Qin Xu didn't care about cherishing the horsepower of the soldiers, and everything was about illness. I just want to cross the river quickly and see what happened to Guo Jia, who was deliberately placed in Jiangdong to raise his body! (To be continued......)
