It is now almost October, and the severe drought that has ravaged the Central Plains has finally eased, and the weather has been gloomy for several days. Although due to this natural disaster, the yield of Qingzhou's already small acres of land has been reduced by at least 80 percent, but because Qingzhou has made early preparations and responded appropriately when the drought continues, Qingzhou, which was expected to be in chaos again, has finally come over without danger.

Although there are small episodes of fraud in the plains and Beihai, but with Zhang Liao, the commander of the Xiaocai battalion guarding the plains, he successfully obtained the grain and grass that had not yet had time to be transported away because of the fierce war between Yuan Shao and Liu Bei at that time, although there is not enough evidence to prove the real mastermind, but for the people of the plains who were threatened with food shortages twice, surviving in the troubled times is the first priority, and only when there is food in their hands can they not panic, so the balance of people's hearts has gradually begun to tilt towards Lu Bu.

The gradual stabilization of the plain also indicates that after Qingzhou has been recognized by the Son of Heaven, Lu Bu has become the rightful lord of Qingzhou. If someone wants to use Lu Bu's words again, there will be no market. Perhaps there is no choice but to turn the target to other aspects. For example, he praised Qin Xu and wanted to provoke the Xiao Wall Rebellion in Qingzhou to achieve his goal.

However, Qingzhou's actions are destined to disappoint these people. Who would have thought that Lu Bu's methods were really sharp! A few days ago, the remarks about killing Qin Xu were still flying in the sky, but under the impact of the news of Qingzhou Mu Lu Bu's marriage and Xuzhou's assassin Shi's marriage, they gradually died down. Thanks to Lu Bu's "Ten Covenants" with the people of Linzi, Qin Xu, who was idle in the mansion, was not very happy.

Without him, when Lu Bu was close to the people in front of the mansion, the direct consequence was that Qin Xu suffered a "disaster" for Lu Bu.

The feelings of the people are sincere and supreme! Whoever is good to them, they will be able to repay them with all their hearts. Since Lu Bu entered Qingzhou, the population of Linzi has increased dramatically and almost saturated, but no one has to worry about dying of cold and starvation; The anti-drought policy has allowed the people to survive under the natural disaster, and the reopening of the Jixia School Palace has given the poor scholars and even ordinary people a chance to engage in politics. In addition, Lu Bu's family was moved by Qin Xu's words, and the pro-people actions they showed from time to time were just doing some small things by themselves, but it made Lu Bu's name of benevolence and righteousness spread rapidly in all directions in a radial shape.

In these days, a good reputation is sometimes more useful than a thousand troops. At least now, no one in Linzi City is talking about Lu Bu's once bad reputation. In addition, after Qin Xu came back from this trip, he brought back a huge "benefit" to Lu Bu, which enhanced Lu Bu's centripetal force in Qingzhou.

It's a pity that Lu Bu is the lord of a state after all, even if the people who deeply feel the difference of Qingzhou want to express their gratitude to Lu Bu, the lord of Qingzhou, after all, they have too high a threshold to get close. In desperation, he had no choice but to turn his gaze to Qin Xu, Lu Bu's son-in-law.

In the past few days, there has been no leisure in front of Qin Xu's mansion. Although Qin Xu was now also specially entered by the Son of Heaven into Jiuqing, and was named the general of Zhengdong, and was also named the Marquis of Wuting, after all, the time is still short, and Qin Xu's "bad deeds" of "robbing" Cai Yan before Linzi have already become the talk of the people of Linzi after dinner. So much so that the eggs, coarse rice and other things that Hao Zhao, the head of the guard of the Qin Mansion alone, refused to accept, are said to add up to enough for the Qin Mansion to eat and drink for several years.

Even the Linzi scholars, who originally thought that their identities were high and did not look down on Lu Bu and Qin Xu, the sons-in-law of Weng, but only because they were false and wrongdoers, so as not to anger Lu Bu, also took action at this moment, and they all wanted to climb the doorstep of the Qin Mansion. Although he was recognized by the Son of Heaven and gained a good reputation, Lu Bu has always been known for not being able to speak well, but it is always okay to show favor to the other protagonist of Weng Jiuqing, who was personally named by the Son of Heaven, right?

Unlike Hao Zhao, who was busy, Qin Xu was idle and panicked in the house. Because of the rule that damn husbands and wives are not allowed to see each other before they get married, Lu Lingqi and Gan Qian were "forcibly" taken back by Lu Bu, and Cai Yan and Mi Zhen also returned to their homes. So that the backyard of the Qin Mansion, which was originally lively now, is now in addition to the glamorous widow Du Yan, who can't be touched, even a mouse is a male, and Qin Xu was also grounded by Lu Bu, and the future is like a small black house, and if something big happens before the wedding, it has to be done according to the rules, fortunately, it is only ten days, otherwise Qin Xu really doesn't know how to survive the time when Hao Zhao is so busy that he has no time to take care of himself, how can he survive this time when he is almost bored to death in this era when he has no computer, no TV, and even some entertainment activities.

But fortunately, seeing that Qin Xu was so depressed, he finally even felt a little embarrassed to "send" Qin Xu here. Just when Qin Xu was almost getting used to this sudden quiet life, Jia Xu, who had the title of "family general" in the Qin Mansion, brought Qin Xu a "long-awaited" news.

The Son of Heaven was rescued, and as soon as the news of moving Xuchang spread, some people couldn't hold it back. And the first bird to bear the brunt is the famous-stirring stick, Mr. Yuan Highway.

According to Jia Xu's information, at the time of the great drought, under the "excellent situation" of the displaced people, with a huge amount of funding obtained from nowhere, he took the opportunity to gather the refugees from Yuzhou and Yanzhou who had taken refuge in the south between Huaisi and Huaisi, and chose them to be young and strong, but he actually expanded his army by more than 40,000 people, and was ready to move, and the target was probably Xuzhou, which had urgently withdrawn his troops because of Yuan Shao's incident.

In fact, Yuan Shu was in chaos, and Yuzhou, where there were "big fish", ignored it, and wanted to provoke Xuzhou, which wanted to form an alliance to resist Yuan Shao before, in fact, this is also very understandable.

Yuan Shu's baby son Yuan Yao hasn't been home for dinner for a long time!

There is no such thing as an impermeable wall. Before, because of Yuan Shao's arrogant attitude towards Qingzhou, and Yuan Shu was actually afraid that he would really provoke Lu Bu, with only thousands of remnants in his hands at that time, even Qingzhou was said to be a newly recruited "recruit" who could suppress himself to fight, Yuan Shu was really afraid that if he got some people's sons-in-law's cheapness and made Lu Bu hold a grudge, it was better to show favor to ask allies to deal with Yuan Shao together. Therefore, he sent his only son Yuan Yao, with full sincerity, to Qingzhou under the banner of marrying with Lu Bu and planning a great cause, and even sent Qiao Rui, the second general in his own combat power. Yuan Shu originally thought that with such a large "capital" and sincere investment, Lu Bu would at least have to make some responses, right?

But the development of things was a little too unexpected for Yuan Shu.

I thought that with Lu Bu's surname and his eldest brother's ability to provoke people, why couldn't Qingzhou and Jizhou have a big fight and talk about anything else? But at this time, the incident in Chang'an happened, and Yuan Shao, the cheap eldest brother who has always admitted death, uncharacteristically raised Qingzhou high and gently put it down, not only did not send troops to war, but finally there was news that Qin Xu sent by Qingzhou "joined forces" to rescue the Son of Heaven. And I heard that since Yuan Shao's army returned to Benzhou as if it was burning his buttocks, it was as if he had forgotten that there had been such a thing, but he didn't know what the reason was, and he died down. And what made Yuan Shu angry the most was that someone in Qingzhou was very "enthusiastic" to send the news that made Yuan Shu angry, originally thought it was "playful" and missed the journey, and Yuan Yao, who had not sent back the news for a long time, was actually detained in Linzi, and his life and death were unknown!

Is this worth it? The two countries have not yet cut off the two countries. What's more, Yuan Shu thought that he had expressed his greatest sincerity, and even sent his only son, doesn't it explain everything? originally planned to take Lu Bu to join forces to make a "career", but he didn't expect this Lu Fengxian to be so ignorant.

Fortunately, just when Yuan Shu was angry but at a loss for what he was currently short of major generals, Xiliang's "friends" who had been secretly in contact with him sent Yuan Shu a "strong support" that made Yuan Shu grateful, which could not only make up for the almost one-third of the troops that Sun Ce had taken away, but also enough to recruit enough sergeants for "assistance".

was stimulated by the news that the new hatred and old hatred, as well as Yuan Shao and Lu Bu were named generals, and even that Lu Bu's son-in-law, Qin Xu Xiao'er, who relied on nepotism, was stimulated by the news that the marquis was listed as Jiuqing, Yuan Shu held the artifact in his hand, which was the destiny of heaven, and the surname Suo couldn't think about what the intention of this Xiliang friend was suddenly so generous. What the strategists Chen Ji and Yan Xiang said about it slowly, and what they wanted to do and avoid disadvantages, were also taken by Yuan Shu as a deaf ear. Vigorously taking advantage of the time when the displaced people were taking refuge, a large number of troops were expanded, and after only a little rectification, they were impatient to make a move.

Yuan Shu's abnormal movements are no secret. Before Qin Xu returned to Linzi, he had already expected it, and he also made corresponding countermeasures with Lu Bu, who had already received the news. It's just that Qin Xu's idea is that he doesn't want to start a war with Yuan Shu so easily, otherwise even if he wins, then the real benefit is not Lu Bujun, but Yuan Shao, who has always been not dealing with his cheap cousin, and knows that Yuan Shu has a treasure in his hands. At that time, I am afraid that under the optimistic situation of some people, for the sake of that artifact, it was originally a way to divert Yuan Shao's attention, but it became the fuse that prompted Yuan Shao to start a war with Qingzhou, and it really became a stone to shoot himself in the foot, and the gains outweighed the losses.

However, Qin Xu was not too worried. At present, there are nearly 30,000 Danyang soldiers in Xiapi City, Xuzhou, although Cao Bao is not good at using troops, but he is used to defend, and the opponent is Yuan Shu, it should not be a big problem. Moreover, there are 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers and the 3,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry sent by Fan Chou, Fan Chou, Cao surname, and Tai Shici are not mediocre talents, Yuan Shu wants to easily capture Xuzhou, or plunder Xiapi and Guangling as before, it is simply a fool's dream, and it is impossible.

Now that Yuan Shu has shown his fangs, presumably Yuan Shao will inevitably make a move, after all, when he was in Chang'an some time ago, Yuan Shao was able to hand over the temporary residence of the Son of Heaven to Cao Ying just because of the news of the artifact, which shows that Yuan Benchu, the general of the chariot who was about to die in the face of a major event, attached great importance to this artifact, which shows that after learning of Yuan Shu's abnormal movements, Yuan Shao will inevitably make some moves, and now what Qin Xu and Lu Bu have to do is nothing more than a word.

And the reason why Lu Bu announced in public that there was only ten days before Qin Xu's wedding when Qin Xu returned triumphantly, was that he also deliberately revealed such a piece of information to Yuan Shao.

It's good to have a planner who is good at understanding people's hearts!

Next, let's ask what Yuan Shao's surname is.

And Qin Xu is not in a hurry at all about this matter except for the stuffy point at the moment, judging from the conclusion of Yuan Shao's coffin, this Yuan Jizhou and Yuan Che riding surname has always been not very good!
