Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou, when the traitor Kan Xuan plundered the goods and military resources of Xuzhou and Xuzhou in Qingzhou, and "fell into" the embarrassing situation of being coveted by the surrounding forces, he sent a letter asking for help. Yan had already been beaten by Cao ** from Nanyang to Yangzhou, all the way in a panic, it was easy to escape because Cao ** broke his troops to Xuzhou, and occupied Yangzhou Lujiang, Jiujiang two counties Yuan Shu, in the Central Plains drought, regardless of the identity of the Han courtiers, blatantly looted Xuzhou for no reason. Tao Qian's letter said that because the coalition of Kan Xuan's rebel party and the remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves sacked Xuzhou before, Xuzhou's military resources were seriously insufficient, and there were no Danyang elite soldiers but they were unable to resist the invading Yuan Shu, and asked Qingzhou Lu Bu, who had a joint defense alliance with Xuzhou, to send troops according to the agreement.

Tao Qian has a good calculation. Xuzhou is rich, the world knows, to the old Tao to keep the foundation for the children and grandchildren, the surname of the family at home, under careful calculation, only the grain stored in the city of Pi, is almost the sum of the three counties and three places of the military food and military funds are more, enough to cover the Pi garrison for more than ten years, is the Central Plains catastrophe, the northern counties of Xuzhou are also deeply disturbed by the drought, but the fundamental damage to Xuzhou is minimal. This time it was just some remnants of the army who were scared by Cao **, but Tao Qian was indifferent to seeing more than ten county towns in Xiapi and Guangling counties being looted, and he was bent on taking Qiao, waiting for Mi Zhu, who was in Xuzhou and Qingzhou to Linzi for a few days, when the envoys of the surrounding forces arrived in Linzi, they asked for help from Lu Bu, and they were so deep in their hearts.

If Lü Bu did not send troops and violated the covenant, it would be a trivial matter, then the 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers stationed in Xiapicheng would have no name for righteousness, and it would become direct evidence that Lü Bu ignored the laws of the Han Dynasty and openly threatened neighboring counties of his friends, and also indirectly confused the unwarranted scheme, intending to swallow the big hat that Kan Xuan had plundered and not returned the military assets in Xuzhou, and let Lü Bu wear it on his head, almost slapping himself in the face. Although in this year, the Son of Heaven was trapped in Chang'an, the government decree was difficult to deal with, and the world was no longer a strong man, and the so-called righteousness was already in vain. But at the moment when the natural disaster plummeted, and no one in the Central Plains Prefecture was spared, it was impossible to say that as long as Tao Qian promised some grain, grass and wealth, then there was no other force that coveted Lu Bu's strength and regarded Qingzhou as a bag under the pretext of maintaining the order of the Han Dynasty. At that time, let alone stable development, even if you can defend the Quartet, it can be regarded as burning high incense.

But if it is as Tao Qian's wishes and send troops, Qingzhou because of Lu Bu not long after he became the master, although the benevolent government is widely implemented, but after all, the time is still short, in addition to governing Linzi, the people's loyalty is generally not high, coupled with the negative impact of Beihai and Pingyuan malpractices, in addition to the normal deployment, but also beware of Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Cao **, Tao Qian and other forces of the mutation, the already few Lu Bu army can not easily move. The mobile force that can be used is the 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers in Xiapi City, and this is exactly what Tao Qian wants. When he agreed to the Qingzhou soldiers left by Lu Bu to garrison Xuzhou, it was Tao Qian's helpless move to block Lu Bu's mouth but was stopped, after all, no one would want someone with bad intentions in his family to squat at the door of his bedroom for a long time.

Tao Qian himself was a person who knew the soldiers, otherwise he would not have been appointed as the highest military and political governor of Xuzhou at the beginning. This time, Lao Tao almost calculated that Lu Bu would definitely not go to Xuzhou to lead the troops in person at this time, which made the people of Qingzhou suspicious, which led to a fundamental shock. Then the ownership of the command of the 20,000 newly recruited Qingzhou soldiers has become a problem.

Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the way of life and death. An army that is almost the same as Lu Bu's army in Qingzhou, Tao Qian wants to see who Lu Bu can hand over to with confidence, and it is a temptation to ask for the right to transfer troops from Qingzhou soldiers. Tao Qian knew very well that the standing army was different from others, if there was no one who could calm down the leader, it was very easy to have a camp roar, and the danger of the whole army being frightened was the most dangerous, and it was very likely that an army would lose its fighting spirit from now on, or even the whole army would be annihilated, which was not alarmist. But the question is, if an old man with considerable prestige in Lu Bu's army is really allowed to lead this army, which is comparable to Lu Bu's army in terms of combat strength and numbers, how can Lu Bu be at ease? The only way is to either swallow the bitter fruit brought by the private Kan Xuan, jump down from the high platform of righteousness, fall half to death and wait for the attack from all sides, and defend Qingzhou to wait for the sky to change; Either they are tired of running around and personally bring the Qingzhou soldiers back to Linzi to increase the burden on the state, and there is no other solution. If Lu Bu is ruthless and really goes to Xuzhou to meet the enemy as promised, it is to ignore the fundamental stability of Qingzhou, unless he can break the enemy of Yuan Shu in the blink of an eye, otherwise even if other forces that do not get the news take the opportunity to loot Qingzhou's supposedly surplus grain, they will have to be provoked by "people with hearts" to stir up the panic caused by the great drought and the people's hearts, and eventually end up in a homeless situation!

This is the yang conspiracy of the red (fruit)! It's almost to tell Lu Bu explicitly! Our Lao Tao just wants to force you Lu Bu is difficult to send troops, and it is difficult not to send troops! It's not going to make you feel better! It can be seen how vicious Tao Qian's intentions are!!

But......

Tao Qian would not have thought that the seemingly seamless and unsolvable plan he had planned with his own people would be a hundred secrets, and he would miss a crucial person!

"Qin Xu, don't talk about those useless things! What helped me a lot in Qingzhou? This Tao Qian's old man is vicious, and a fool can see it, and this old thief is using a yang scheme, and there is no way to crack it! Even Feng Xiao has a headache, and he can't come up with any good ideas for a while, if you have any ghost ideas, just say, pretend to be deep! Seeing that Qin Xu still had the heart to smile after reading Tao Qian's letter asking for help, Lu Bu snorted coldly and said.

"Tao Qian deliberately revealed in the letter that he wanted to use the grain and grass military funds collected by Kan Xuan obtained by our army before as a bargaining chip in exchange for the lord to send troops, that is, he calculated that the lord would not easily send anyone to receive the 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers." Qin Xu said with a confident look: "Then let's just ask for the surname and plan it, and really send someone to lead the 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers to repel the attack of the second child of the Yuan family?" What's so hard about that? ”

"Humph! You kid is talking nonsense! Tao Qian wished that a certain general would be sent to lead the Qingzhou soldiers to defeat the enemy, and then this old thief would send someone to spread some discordant news in Qingzhou, even if there was no suspicion at that time, can you guarantee that the person sent out would not be suspicious? What the hell are you thinking, so you say it's a bad idea and you are elevated! After listening to what Qin Xu said, Lu Bu seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the late Han Dynasty, and sneered rather disdainfully.

"But the lord is thinking too much!" Qin Xu was already accustomed to the way his old man spoke, and he didn't care about Lu Bu's tone at all, and still said with a smile: "Let's not talk about what kind of means the old Tao will use after the lord makes a move, but as long as our army has a positive reaction, the 'rumors' that were spread by some people in Qingzhou because of Kan Xuan's opposition to Xuzhou will be self-defeating, and it will be personally exposed by the bitter lord Lao Tao, which is so credible that it is understandable, and it greatly saves me a lot of effort." Moreover, the lord is not without credible people to lead these 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers! ”

"You're not going to say it's you kid yourself, are you?" Lu Bu squinted at Qin Xu, who was smiling, snorted slightly, and said mockingly: "I am relieved that you will lead the troops, and you should have no problem controlling the 20,000 troops, but you will not just want to take the 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers back to Linzi as Tao Qian intended, right?" If you're going to fight the enemy, you're a boy who hasn't really fought in battle? Don't bring down this newly recruited Qingzhou soldier by then. I'll burn high incense! Besides, even if it is not appropriate to send you some deputies, you can't defeat them on the battlefield! ”

"Huh? Thank you for your trust! Qin Xu didn't expect Lu Bu to misunderstand that he was the self-recommended general, and he said this, saying that it was false if he was not moved, he scratched his head quite embarrassedly, and said: "But the person who Xu said is absolutely credible is not himself. And to be honest, although the lord is thoughtful, he is too worried. According to Xu, with the existing combatable generals in Qingzhou, it should be enough to deal with Yuan Shu! ”

"It's rare for you to be humble, but you don't know who you're talking about?" Seeing that Qin Xu did not show a different color after listening to what he said, Lu Bu nodded slightly, his face improved a lot, and asked.

"This, of course, since the matter in Qingzhou is caused by Xu now, Xu must also go this time, and I hope the lord agrees." What he said just now was a little full, Qin Xu smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "As for the person that Xu said that the lord must believe, it is the lord's closest relative, eldest lady!" Don't be angry, when I was in Chang'an before, the eldest lady asked to go into battle several times, but she missed it several times because of various coincidences, this, you also know that it is not good to be untrustworthy, right? And this time it's just a remnant army of Yuan Shu who was beaten by Cao **, and there are 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers to protect each other, so they should just play tricks. ”

"Qin Xu, you are messing around! Such nonsense, do you have to force someone to behead you? Before Qin Xu finished speaking, Lu Bu's face suddenly turned dark, last time Lu Lingqi sneaked away from home and ran away with Qin Xu to stay in Chenliu, which made Lu Bu feel so big that he almost didn't go crazy, this time Qin Xu actually came up with such a bad idea, which made Lu Bu want to open this kid's head immediately to see what was inside.

"The Lord is angry! The eldest lady is a tiger father and a tiger daughter, this good martial arts thing is very similar to the lord, and ...... before, "Qin Xu also has suffering, the battlefield is dangerous, Qin Xu can be regarded as a person who has gone through several battles, how can he not know?" But who agreed to Lu Lingqi as soon as his head was hot, the first few times he went on the expedition, seeing Lu Lingqi staring at his pitiful appearance, Qin Xu had a feeling of being regarded as a negative man. Besides, this girl has already learned a trick called "running away from home" with Mi Zhen, rather than being made by her again when the time comes, it is better to directly restrain her in the barracks, so that she can be used as a personal bodyguard.

"Hmph, shut up! Hmm...... "Lu Bu's anger came and went quickly, and when he saw Qin Xu, who was scolded by himself, with a wry smile, he also thought of the "trick" that Lu Lingqi had learned before, and he didn't know for a while that this precious girl who had won her true martial arts was so good at martial arts as good as herself, whether it was good or bad. At that moment, he stared at Qin Xu deeply, pondered for a long time, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said, "You don't need to say more, this matter has its own place." Since this old thief Tao Qian intends to use Yang to trap my Qingzhou in the land of ten thousand calamities, what if he fulfills his wish. You are now white, and you are not qualified to lead the army. This time, you will be temporarily appointed as the commander of the Qingzhou Barracks, with Dian Wei, the deputy commander of the pro-guard battalion, and the 1,000 soldiers of the first battalion as the main formation, and the old thief Tao Qian! Well, you don't have to think too much about the state and county of the old thief Tao Qian, you have to save your life and come back! Don't let Ling'er's mother work in vain! Remember? ”

"This ......" Qin Xu subconsciously plucked his ears and looked at Lu Bu in disbelief. Although he knew that Lu Bu was very spoiled by himself because of the reason that this body belonged to the old Qin family, as well as Lu Lingqi's relationship, but this time he handed over the Qingzhou Barracks, which was comparable to the strength of the Lu Bu army in the Qingzhou headquarters, to himself, half of the strength of the entire army of the Lu Bu army, although it was temporary, it also showed how much Lu Bu trusted him. What's more, he also handed over the letter of General Fenwu to someone in Qin, saying that it was a temporary management, but in fact, it was also to establish prestige for Qin Xu, this was Lu Bu's title as General Zuo before, and the fourth general of the Eight Classics, and Lu Bu's last instructions were clearly to show his concern again through the matter of the Yan family, so that Qin someone, who was a person in two lives, had a little sour eyes, and regardless of Lu Bu's words, he turned his back on his hand, Qin Xu had been so sincere and solemn since he came to the end of the Han Dynasty, he solemnly hugged his fist for the first time, gasped for breath, and responded: "No!"
