Chapter 101: The Siege of the Yellow Turban (Part I)

Plans never change fast. Because of Qin Xu's little butterfly, the riot of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban attack on Jibei that should have occurred in history has undergone some changes. Not only did there be an error in time, but the target also changed from Jibei Kingdom to a place that Qin Xu did not expect, Linzi!

You must know that because of Lu Bu's strong intervention, Linzi has always been a forbidden area for the Yellow Turban thieves with tattered equipment and low combat power, after all, Lu Bu's great reputation is not blown out of thin air, and the strength of Lu Bu's army is also known to the world. Most of these yellow turban thieves with hoes and sticks actually dared to come to Linzi, which had to surprise Qin Xu.

At the beginning of December of the third year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, perhaps it was the implementation of a series of policies benefiting the people in Linzi that spread word of mouth among the displaced people, which made Lu Bu's reputation in Qingzhou unprecedentedly high, making outsiders mistakenly think that Lu Bu's army had grain to squander, or under the guidance of the ill-intentioned people, the Yellow Turban thieves of Zichuan Guobo Mountain, which was closest to Linzi City, suddenly became difficult, under the banner of borrowing grain for the winter, and threatened to borrow 50,000 stones of grain from Lu Bu, and then tried more than 100,000 soldiers who could fight, and sent the troops to Linzi City.

According to the intelligence of the shadows, this group of Yellow Turban thieves is one of the more powerful in the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, the leader is named Han Guang, who was originally a personal attendant under the command of the Yellow Turban Great Sage and Good Master, and has been following Zhang Jiao's side after the Yellow Turban collapsed.

At the time of Dong Zhuo's chaos and the resurgence of the Yellow Turbans in Qingxu and Xuzhou, Han Guang, as Zhang Jiao's attendant, learned a little bit of Zhang Jiao's ability to bluff people, and his appeal was really not ordinary, and soon gathered more than 200,000 Yellow Turban stragglers and displaced people from nearby Qi County, Gaomi, and Jinan Kingdoms, relying on Boshan as a barrier, connecting with other Yellow Turban forces, and plundering large households in nearby states and counties. Because of the good "mass foundation" and Han Guang's cautiousness, he was attacked by Xuzhou Tao Qian and the former Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiao several times, but he did not hurt his muscles and bones. The Jiang Jun group nicknamed "General" that Qin Xu met in Jinan before was one of the Yellow Turbans under Han Guang.

Because there are not many evil deeds, and most of the people in this Yellow Turban force are homeless and homeless, Qin Xu originally planned to persuade the surrender plan to start with this Han Guang first, but he didn't expect to take action yet, so he received the news that this person led a crowd to commit crimes. It really made Qin Xu feel a little crying and laughing, this was really a mouse who dared to grab food with a cat when he carried a gun, Lu Bu didn't spare his hand to find trouble with him, but sent it to the door himself, which made Qin Xu feel quite strange.

"The Yellow Turban thief is coming, ignoring the majesty of the court, and Lu has decided to ask for it! Gentlemen should be cautious in their duties, train their soldiers and horses, and prepare to defend themselves against the enemy! After getting the news, Lu Bu finally found a trace of the majesty of an elder in front of Qin Xu, although he was persuaded by Qin Xu before, but the grievances in his heart were naturally indescribable. This time, the yellow scarf took the initiative to attack, which made Lu Bu, who had been holding back long enough, full of strong fighting spirit. Although it is just a rabble, it can quench its thirst. The generals under Lu Bu also asked for battle one after another, lest they would have no meat to eat if they started slowly.

"My lord! Xu felt that this matter was ......, "Qin Xu originally suspected that someone was manipulating behind his back because he had encountered the abnormality of Jiang Jun and his gang in Jinan Kingdom, and he also obtained a batch of sophisticated army equipment. At this time, seeing that a group of Yellow Turban thieves who should have been the least likely to come out first actually came to attack first, Qin Xu felt that there was something strange about this, and seeing that Lu Bu was full of fighting spirit, he hurriedly said.

"Master Qin, this kind of battlefield fighting, it's better to leave it to me and other rough people, you can wait for me to wait for the good news with peace of mind! Lord, please be the pioneer at the end! Cheng Lian relied on a good relationship with Qin Xu, and before he owed Qin Xu a favor because of the matter of Lu Yi, he didn't wait for Qin Xu to finish speaking, so he interrupted Qin Xu's words and said to Lu Bu.

"Well, you can accompany Ling'er in the house more during this time. Didn't you have any plans to reopen the Jixia School Palace a few days ago, and you were ready to discuss with Cai Zhonglang, I just got the news, Cai Zhonglang is very interested, and I am waiting for you to go and listen to the training. Seeing that Cheng Lian interrupted Qin Xu's words, Lu Bu showed a smile and said. Lu Bu was really afraid that Qin Xu would still insist on persuading him to surrender or something like that, although it was quite reasonable, but in Lu Bu's mind, he didn't have the pleasure of coming to surrender the remnants after being subdued, so he sold Qin Xu to Cai Yong very unjustly.

"No!" Seeing that Lu Bu and Cai Yong had moved out as an ally, Qin Xu had nothing to say. Because of the relationship between Qin Xu and Cai Yan, Lu Bu, as Lu Lingqi's father, has decreased a lot of enthusiasm for Cai Yan's father Cai Yong, after all, it involves the "ranking" of the two daughters, although the two daughters have an indifferent attitude, but after all, this matter is linked to the face problem, one is a fierce general who is unparalleled in the world, and the other is a well-known Confucian in China, and no one is willing to let her daughter be a small idea. Originally, because Cai Yan had been married after all, Cai Yong was a little lacking in confidence in front of Lu Bu, so that he rarely had contact with Lu Bu in recent days, but he didn't expect that because of the Yellow Turban incident, the two of them stood on the same front again.

The reopening of the Jixia School Palace was Qin Xu's immature idea after hearing Zang Hong's warning, especially after finding out the high-level official that Yuan Shao's forces had installed in Linzi in the mouth of the judge. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many scholars, and most of them forcibly adopted the sound system of later generations, and most of them would make some four dissimilarities due to cultural faults and other reasons. There is no way, the filial piety and honesty system of the Han Dynasty to select officials has been controlled by the big families, and the imperial examination system has no room for display because the popularity of books is far from enough.

As a last resort, we can only take one step at a time. Fortunately, there are many orphans among the displaced people, so Qin Xu plans to use the resources at hand to select young children for small-scale specialized education in five to ten years, and first get out a group of low-level administrative officials who are loyal to Lu Bu, and then at least ensure that after five to ten years, he can get the number of officials needed to maintain Lu Bu's growing territory.

But this kind of thing naturally can't rely on a young man like Qin Xu, and all aspects of fame and qualifications are troublesome. After obtaining Lu Bu's consent, Qin Xu set his sights on Cai Yong, another cheap old man. With the appeal and fame of the stubborn old man Cai Yong, maybe he will be able to get a group of excellent administrative officials to come out in the future.

But to say a thousand things and ten thousand, these are all based on the fact that Lu Bu stabilized the territory before he could come out of the table, and at this time, he was thrown out in advance by the warlike Lu Bu, and the fools could see that this was Lu Bu telling Qin Xu in disguise, I have already made up my mind to do it to kill your father-in-law who came to commit the Yellow Turban, there is no need to discuss, I have time to play with your other father-in-law.

"I heard that the Yellow Turban is coming to Linzi, are you going to fight with your father again? Can I bring my family with me? Qin Xu returned to his residence a little depressed, and happened to meet Lu Lingqi and Cai Yan who came here. Although they have not officially married, with the acquiescence of Lu Bu and Cai Yong, no one said anything. In particular, I don't know who spread the "anecdote" of Qin Xu and Mi Zhen, the eldest lady of the Mi family, when he was in Xuzhou, which made the two daughters go back and forth to Qin Xu's residence a lot more frequently. This time, when they heard that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was coming, the two girls thought that Qin Xu would definitely go out with Lu Bu as usual, and Lu Lingqi, who had been released by Qin Xu many times, asked a little naughtily.

"Ling'er is afraid that she will be disappointed again this time! The lord has already ordered that I am not allowed to participate in this Linzi defense battle! "This girl is the same as Lu Bu, her blood is full of rage factors, and when she hears the word battlefield, she is as excited as if she has fought something. Qin Xu gave Lu Bu's action a very three-dimensional name, and smiled slightly apologetically at Lu Lingqi.

"You better be a little more restrained, the last time you went to Xuzhou to do something good and did not get punished, you have already made some bad remarks in the Linzi officialdom. Although there are many yellow scarves this time, they are not General Lu's opponent at all, you haven't recovered yet, so take the opportunity to rest for a while! Cai Yan has experienced a lot of things, and the depth of the problem is not comparable to that of Lu Lingqi, seeing that Qin Xu is not very interested, he leaned on Qin Xu's shoulder and said euphemistically.

"Those people in Qingzhou officialdom still have bad remarks? It seems that the lord is really too indulgent to them! Qin Xu wrapped his hands around the soft waists of the two women, with a hint of contempt on his face, and sneered: "No matter who their master is, the so-called bad remarks about me are mostly because I did what they wanted to do but didn't dare to do, such as robbing a talented girl back!" ”

"What are the hands doing? Begging! Sister Ling'er, you don't care about your husband! Cai Yan's face was flushed by Qin Xu's jokes, and he felt that Qin Xu's hand on his waist was a little dishonest, so he hurriedly organized a united front to resist Qin Xu's harassment.

"Isn't that also your husband?" Lu Lingqi dug her mouth, thinking that it seemed that Qin Xu had not done such an exciting thing to herself, she looked at Cai Yan's mature figure, and then looked at her figure that was still a little weaker, and turned her head very unjustly.

Not to mention the actions of the generals of the Lu Bu army in the city, in the Yellow Turban Thieves camp outside Linzi City, Han Guang, the tall and slightly chubby leader, was holding a gift list in the camp tent and was excited, and the fat on his face was squeezed a little narrow, and his eyes showed excitement that could not be concealed.

This old Zhang Kang is really generous, with a full 5,000 sets of ordnance and armor, 2,000 bows, and 100,000 arrows. This is only half of the first payment, and the follow-ups will be sent one after another after the war with Lu Bu.

This deal is so cost-effective that Han Guang will be woken up by laughter when he sleeps; What Lu Bu, what kind of flying general, it's not all one head and two hands, our old Han really doesn't believe that he Lu Bu can have a few more heads out of thin air. When the time comes, 100,000 brothers will rush up, and he will be tired to death if he is tired, even if he Lu Bu is the overlord and resurrected, he will have to be blind.
