Yu Zhang's incident doesn't know if it can be regarded as a happy ending. After all, the total strength of the Sun clan is nearly 10,000 troops, and together with the families of the soldiers in the city, they have evaporated under their noses, and even if they are released to search for the four counties of Yuzhang and the surrounding mountains, there is no news at all.

Fortunately, after this battle, Sun Ce's troops are also greatly injured, the soldiers' morale is weak, and the combat strength is sluggish, and then he wants to turn over any storms, unless Zhou Yu, who played a game of "good chess" this time, really has the ability to return to the sky, otherwise, even if Sun Ce is hiding in which corner, for the matter of Lu Bu's army, which is about to divide Hebei equally with Cao Cao and has the opportunity to calmly arrange troops, to enter Yangzhou, it is already a disease of scabies.

At present, except for Lujiang County, which was occupied by Liu Biao, and Jiujiang County, which is actually controlled by Cao Cao's forces, the land on the left side of Yangzhou Jiangzuo has been obtained by Qin Xu, and this trip is enough to be called a great achievement.

Cao Cao, who attacked Jiujiang as early as when Yuan Shu rebelled, is worthy of being a character with a pig's foot halo, without the help of a "cheater" like Qin Xu to participate, only relying on the help of the family and the means of taking care of the poor family, and with rich political resources such as the son of Han Tianzi in hand, the strength of the army has developed rapidly, and even without Yuan Shao's constraints, it is a little faster. There is already a tendency to be honest and incompetitive.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, the Central Plains is not big, and Lu Bu and Cao Cao have been at peace for a long time, I have to say that it is already a miracle. In fact, if you only talk about combat power, the fierce soldiers under Lu Bu will not say that they are invincible, but if they are facing each other on the frontal battlefield. There is really no prince who dares to say that he can curry favor in the hands of Lu Bu in a dignified manner. But the key is that Qingzhou is too close to Yanzhou, so both Cao Cao and Lu Bu have maintained considerable restraint before. so as not to be picked up cheaply.

Therefore, from this point of view, the ownership of Yangzhou Jiujiang County is not so important. Jiujiang County is on the north side of the river, and only the heart wants to find a stable block. For Lu Bujun, the role in a short period of time is not very large, unless Lu Bu intends to tear his face with Cao Cao head-on. Otherwise, what Jiujiang belongs to, in fact, from the perspective of the overall situation, it is in the hands of Cao Cao. It's much more useful than forcibly taking it back.

However, Qin always boasted of being a successful person in his previous life, although there was a lot of self-deprecation, but it was also exposed. revealed a little bit of Qin Xu's unwillingness to suffer. Since we are focusing on the overall situation, in order to make Lu Bujun's power stronger. Stronger. At least after fighting Cao Cao, there is still the strength to deal with the pretenders, and Jiujiang can't move for a while. However, the embankment lost and the embankment was replenished, and Qin Xu had just suppressed a few points of the idea of wanting to find out about the Jiangdong and Sun Ce, so he hit the idea to the one who was complacent because of the name of the Eight Horses, and was even rumored to be the most likely to win the treasure, but he also loved to rob while the fire was fired. The master of Jingxiang who fishes in troubled waters, Liu Biao, Liu Jingsheng's head.

Speaking of Liu Biao at this time. Although he has begun to shrink his strength, and gradually has the heart to consolidate the soil and extinguish the war, even the defeated soldiers of Xiliang who are struggling in Wancheng, which is close at hand, can tolerate it, but after seeing the trend of the world becoming more and more chaotic, no one will believe it if he has no idea in his heart. The "explanation" given by Qin Xu is that this old man is full of bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. Although the defeated soldiers of Xiliang have lost their will, after all, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry once dominated the universe with Dong Zhuo's prestige, and the power of the tiger is still there. Liu Biao may not want to take back Wancheng County, which belongs to Jingzhou, but he doesn't want to waste his strength to fight.

But Lujiang is different. Yangzhou has been in turmoil for a long time, and the forces of thieves, aliens, big families, and wealthy families are intricate, and it can be said that as long as one is not handled well, it will be the end of deep mud. Looking at Yuan Shu's original covetousness of Yangzhou, what the final result was, is the proof. If it is put in normal times, if you lend Liu Biao a guts, you don't want to get into trouble, especially if the old Sun family has a common enmity with his own family, it is impossible to say that if he is not careful, he will give the other party a chance to "get angry". But Yangzhou, which is enough to be worth one-fifth of the territory of the entire Han Dynasty, is like a big piece of fat in front of the hungry man, and if he doesn't get some oil and water, Liu Biao is really unwilling. And this time Qin Xu and Sun Ce competed for Jiangdong, but it was like giving a pair of chopsticks to the salivating Liu Biao. It is estimated that in Liu Biao's view, the battle between the two armies has not been idle for a year and a half, and it is estimated that it is impossible to distinguish victory or defeat. One is a young hero who wants his own life and inherits his father's bravery and swept Jiangdong, and the other is the son-in-law of the world's first fierce general, a lucky boy who has never tasted defeat since his debut.

Qin Xu's understanding of Liu Biao, except for a few words in the history books and some inferences in later generations, actually didn't have much to do. After coming here, in addition to the fact that when Yuan Shu borrowed the soldiers of the Southern Huns and almost beat Cao Cao homeless, Liu Biao's attack to break the siege gave Qin Xu some impression, and Qin Xu really didn't know much about Liu Biao, one of the eight horses of Jingxiang who had been passed down through the ages in history.

At present, since Jiujiang can't be taken back for a while, let's get Lujiang back first! In any case, it is also one of the six counties in Jiangdong, if it is too weak, it will make this old Liu Tou, who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, become more and more arrogant. However, he still has two battalions of two battalions of elite soldiers in one hundred battles in his hands, after all, he has experienced nearly three months of war, and his soldiers' combat strength is exhausted, even if he still has the strength to fight, Qin Xu does not plan to do this kind of thing. Not to mention the whereabouts of Sun Ce, who still seems to have disappeared suddenly, and still needs to be investigated, with only the newly recruited troops in Wu County, even if Guo Jia has the ability to reach the sky, it is estimated that he will not be able to make the trip in a short time.

Fortunately, as early as when he set foot in Jiangdong, he left 20,000 Danyang soldiers for the three brothers of Zang Ba in Danyang County, and he guarded such a good soldier "nest" in Danyang County, coupled with the proximity to Lujiang County, Qin Xu had a plan almost without hesitation. But just as he was about to arrange to recover the fifth county of Jiangdong in one go, an urgent fire envelope letter from Qingzhou to Wu County, which was sent by Guo Jia and sent by Starry Night, made Qin Xudang's face change.

The letter was written in the name of the wife of the Qin Mansion. The whole article is full of official tones. First of all, I said that everything is fine in Qingzhou's family, Cai Yan, Mi Zhen, Gan Qian and other sisters love each other, and Du Yan, the same sister-in-law, is also doing well. Cai Yan is very pregnant for nearly seven months. I was very thoughtful by my sisters. At first glance, there is nothing surprising in the whole article, only the last mention is mentioned in one stroke, saying that Lu Bu has returned with the army, and hopes that Qin Xu will also return as soon as possible. Qin Xu didn't notice anything at first glance, but he was a little puzzled, how could he write such a leakless letter with the ink of his eldest wife Lu Lingqi? Originally, I thought it would be a ghostwriter for Cai, who was pregnant for seven months. So I couldn't help but read it carefully, and the information I got from it was someone who was already lost because of Sun Ce's disappearance. Deng Shi screamed out in a gaffe.

It's no wonder that this seemingly ordinary family letter, which is full of formulaic words, makes Qin Xu feel so awkward to read. This is not a question of whether it is written by Lu Lingqi, Cai Yan, or any of Qin Xu's mansions. The key is in the last sentence, Lu Bu returned to the army.

What was the reason why Qin Xu went to Xuzhou alone to transfer troops to Jiangdong? It's not because of the chaos of the war in Hebei. Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, and even Liu Bei and Yuan Shao's two unsuccessful sons. To put it bluntly, it is just to compete for the ownership of the land of Hebei Sanzhou, a rich land rich in iron horses and less affected by war. Lu Bu aside, what kind of characters are Cao Cao and Liu Bei? Cao Cao occupied the time of heaven in the name of the righteousness of the Son of Heaven and the order of the unsubordinate, Liu Bei played with his old classmate Gongsun Zhan, even if he was yin by the Black Mountain thief, but after all, there are still thousands of Youzhou spirits riding in his hands. It is a long-term fight in the land of Youji, and there is a native of Youzhou standing behind him, and Gongsun Zhan, who went to Jizhou from time to time to fight the autumn wind when Yuan Shao was in the past. can barely be regarded as occupying a favorable location, and one of Yuan Shao's two sons took refuge in Cao Cao, and the other was attached to Lu Bu, but they were the sons of the Yuan family, who were upright and upright. But what does Lu Bu have? In addition to Pingyuan County, which is adjacent to Jizhou, was calculated by Liu Bei and was "dragged into" the war, the only bargaining chips that can be taken are the same as the Yuan family. Third, Yuan Shang's mutual use can barely be taken out.

When Qin Xu left Hebei, Lu Bu had just settled in Yecheng at that time, and he was being suspected by others if he wanted to follow Qin Xu's past when he got Xuzhou and gradually encroach on the land of Yecheng. At that time, Cao Cao had just crossed the border and merged the state, because of Lu Bu's strength, he had the intention of working with Lu Bu to jointly pacify the forces of Hebei Gongsun, and then divide them. Thinking that Gongsun Zhan is also a heroic man for a while, among the princes of the Eighteenth Road of the Tiger Prison Pass back then, the seat was relatively high, and Yuan Shao, who had the strength and the potential to be the overlord of Hebei, killed the master who had been knocking for several years, even if he didn't know what Liu Bei was used for. The soul method flickered to the point where he finally imprisoned Yi Jing, but if Qin Xu almost didn't even have to think about it, he could conclude that if he really fought hard, whether it was Cao Cao or Lu Bu, it would not be too easy to take over Youzhou from Gongsun Zhan smoothly. At the very least, compared to his own attack on Sun Ce's forces in Yangzhou, it is more than several times more difficult for Zhenzhen'er. Although the white horse Yicong under the command of Gongsun Zan was disabled by the first camp, the tens of thousands of Youzhou elite horsemen who had been trained to resist foreign races all year round were still taken out, and according to the shadow investigation, plus the historical legends that Qin Xu still remembered, there were at least millions of stones of grain and grass in the fortress of Yijing City, and this kind of comprehensive strength, compared with generally, was not much worse than the forces of Cao Cao and Lu Bu. Even if Lu Bu is really the reincarnation of the God of War, fighting against such a home field, and occupying the right time, place and people, I am afraid that the victory or defeat will be between five and five. How could it be so quickly turned back to Qingzhou as stated in the letter. Besides, although Cao Cao clearly said that he would divide Hebei equally with Lu Bujun, according to Qin Xu's expectations, if this boss doesn't have a moth behind his back, it means that he Cao has changed his temperament, how can he be so happy in such an important matter as dividing the territory? Something must have gone wrong! And the only unbelievable possibility is that something happened to Lu Bu!

"Kong Bin! You personally go to pass on Dian Wei, Hao Zhao, Tai Shici, Cao Xing and Lao Xu Dead Cat! Qin Xu's face had never been so solemn at the moment, and Kong Bin seemed to have expected the seriousness of the problem, and his face did not have the previous hippie smile, and he left in a deep voice.

"My father-in-law! You're the best in the world! I hope I'm wrong this time......" (To be continued......
