Chapter 229: Qin Xu plotted Tao Qian, Cao Bao beheaded Liu Bao
Cao Bao beheaded Liu Leopard, and Ziyi fought Bo Fu
What Cao Xing said about discovering Tao Qian and Yuan Shu's discord is actually not very important at the moment. Tao Qian did not succeed in calculating but trapped himself in, now is the time when it is difficult to ride a tiger, especially after learning that Qin Xu encountered an ambush by the Southern Hun cavalry on the way and was raided, he was anxious to clear up the relationship with Yuan Shu, in case he was successfully holding 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers, and Qin Xu, who was recommended by him Tao Qian and "recognized", got an excuse to make a bloody attack on Xuzhou. So much so that just now, Tao Qian even ignored his old age and decrepitness, and at a speed no less than that of a young and strong man, he was indignant to start a war with Yuan Shu, which was precisely because of this.
"General Cao, don't worry, whether he Tao Qian wants to start a war with Yuan Shu or not, this battle, even if it is to fight for us, he must fight. No matter what agreement he had with Yuan Shu before, as long as the war started, he couldn't help it. How can anything on the battlefield be controlled by anyone? After listening to Cao Xing's analysis, Qin Xu paused slightly, and said with a smile: "What interests Qin is that I don't know if it will be the victory of the world's elite Danyang elite soldiers who will be weak and strong, or the remnants of Yuan Shu with the help of the old generals of the Sun family." ”
Compared with Tao Qian and Yuan Shu's discord, the appearance of the old generals of the Sun family is the focus of Qin Xu's attention. Speaking of which, Qin is really sorry for the old Sun family, in history, he once raised a three-foot sword to help Sun Ce sweep Jiangdong, and Tai Shici, the great general of Eastern Wu, is even by his side at this moment; Assisting the third emperor of Eastern Wu, Jiangdong Erzhang, who was undecided about internal affairs, was thrown by someone Qin who had the upgraded version of the "human trafficker" nickname in the Jixia School Palace to grind his temperament, and I heard that it was because of Jia Xu recently. It turned out to be a hot fight with Cai Yong, another old man in his own family, and at the same time, Sima Zanghong, who often visited Qingzhou, also had a good personal relationship, and it was estimated that the possibility of Shi Qingzhou was not small. It's just almost hot. In the future, the pillars of Jiangdong were recruited so much by Qin Xu relying on his foresight and luck against the sky, and he didn't know if the old Sun family in this time and space could still divide Jiangdong as in history and divide the world into three parts.
"Then I'll wait...... Can only stand still, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? Hearing Qin Xu say this, Zang Ba's face showed a little annoyance. He asked in displeasure.
"Tao Qian probably hit you with this idea!" He had a good relationship with Zang Ba, Qin Xu spoke a lot more casually, and explained with a smile: "Right now, Tao Qian wants to go out of the city to face the enemy. In order to ensure the superiority of troops, it will take at least a lot of time to gather more than 10,000 people! At that time, with the strength of our army, at least 20,000 people will come out of the battle. And Yuan Shu's strength was only 5,000. In the face of such a vast number of soldiers, what would happen if you were Yuan Shu? ”
"Run! Needless to say! I don't have the force of the lord and the brain of General Qin, this kind of one-to-four ratio of troops, there is no certainty of victory to win. Zang Ba simply told the truth directly, causing several people to chuckle.
"That's right! This may be Tao Qian's purpose! Qin Xu frowned and said. Look at a team of twenty or thirty people. The Danyang soldiers who kept gathering towards the south gate, Qin Xu and the others had been in the barracks for a long time. can be calculated, at this rate, when 10,000 troops are assembled, it is estimated that it is time for tomorrow's lunch.
"Tao Qian, is this delaying the time to fight with Yuan Shu?" Cao Xing is worthy of being a battlefield general who has followed Lu Bu for a long time, and immediately reacted, and said angrily: "It seems that there is really a discord between this Tao Qian and Yuan Shu, and taking advantage of the gap in the gathering of this force, he is passing on the news to Yuan Shu and making him prepared, even if he is forced to fight with him in the end to win the trust of us, he will inevitably have the biggest element of drama." General Qin, what should I do now? Why don't we go and 'help' Tao Qian's guy? ”
"What General Cao said is exactly what I want!" Qin Xu smiled and agreed to Cao Xing's proposal as a general of Lu Bu's army, and said with a smile: "But Tao Gongzu is not in a hurry, let's not take the initiative too much, and give Yuan Shu some appetizers first, and also give Tao Qian some small gifts!" Lead, then Liu Bao, the son of Fuluo, and other Southern Hun cavalry can still walk? Since Tao Qian ordered General Cao Bao, the father of Mrs. Cao, to be the vanguard, he sent these people to his army. ”
"General Qin, is it possible that you want to ......" Zhao Zhao's face also showed a bit of understanding, and asked with a smile.
"Not bad!" Qin Xu nodded with a smile, his face showed a bit of murderous aura, and said with a sneer: "Since Tao Gongzu did the first year of junior high school, don't blame me Qin for being the fifteenth, I want to see if Yuan Shu doesn't know these cavalry under his command!" Moreover, the Xiongnu are the old enemies of our Han Dynasty, even if the Southern Xiongnu have long been attached, they have often knocked on the border of our Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it is time for them to repay some interest. Since General Cao Bao is the vanguard, he just took these unfamiliar wolf cubs to cut off the sacrificial flag! ”
"No!" Thinking of the former comrades who died tragically, he also promised with a cold face.
Just as the Qingzhou soldiers were on standby, and the Xuzhou Danyang soldiers were assembled one after another, outside the south gate of Xiapi City, Yuan Shu was confused by Tao Qian's move.
"Ji Ling, Bo Fu, what do you think this Tao Gongzu wants?" Handsome and handsome, Yuan Shu, who was over forty years old, sat in the handsome tent, listening to the news of the transfer of soldiers and horses in Picheng reported by Tanma, with a little doubt on his face, and asked the two fierce generals of his own family who came out of the battle this time.
"Lord, according to the spirit, the person who claimed to be the pottery merchant of Xuzhou that day must have lied to us, saying that Xuzhou wants to form an ally with the lord forever, is there a person who treats allies like this?" Ji Ling, who is more than nine feet tall and looks quite mighty, said indignantly: "My lord, look at the south gate of Picheng, more than 10,000 troops have been gathered with unknown intentions, and the Acropolis is only two or three miles away from our army's camp, and no less than 5,000 Danyang soldiers have been gathered, and the main general is Cao Leopard Thief, who is known as the first general in Xuzhou, and he has been paying attention to it for a long time!" Although these two armies have not made any changes at present, they must be accumulating combat strength and waiting for peace with the Chinese army, intending to gather superior forces and annihilate us in one fell swoop. ”
"Oh? The first warrior in Xuzhou? I don't know how you are like Ji Ling? Listening to Ji Ling's analysis, it didn't seem to be unreasonable, Yuan Shu nodded slightly, as if he didn't frighten the number of fifteen thousand troops, and asked Ji Ling with a smile.
"One Together!" Ji Ling seemed to be irritated by Yuan Shu's questioning tone. He raised his head and said: "If it weren't for the return of the horse, the opponent's strength would be several times that of our army, and he would have beheaded his dog with a knife!" ”
"I didn't expect the chief general of Xuzhou to be so unbearable. It's a pity that the Danyang elite soldiers who were the most powerful in the world back then. Yuan Shu didn't seem to have any doubts about Ji Ling's very boastful words, sighed, and then changed to a smile and said: "Now that Xuzhou is in decline, this ointment is being watched by the surrounding forces, and I only hate Liu Biao's attack on my back road before, which led to the failure of the strategy of Chen Liu, and we are so embarrassed." Otherwise, this matter of Xuzhou, I Yuan Shu will have to get a piece of the pie if I can't say it. But it's okay. People say that thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find, I have Ji Ling and Bo Fu two 10,000 enemies, only with thousands of remnants of the army to gain a firm foothold in the land of Huaisi, it is this time to come to Xuzhou to borrow grain. More than ten counties in Xiapi and Guangling were also broken in response. With the help of two people, it is not difficult to take the entire territory of Xuzhou one day and sweep the Central Plains! ”
"Thank you for the compliment!" The two bowed and thanked each other. It's just that before these two fierce generals got up, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the tent, Yuan Shu was puzzled, and saw a scout horse breaking into the tent, looking anxious, and bowed down to report: "Report to the lord." Big...... The big thing is not good, our cavalry ...... Hun cavalry ......"
"What happened?" Yuan Shu was also taken aback by this person's expression. Hurriedly asked.
"Lord, we were ordered to monitor the movements of the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, just now, in the Acropolis of Xuzhou, there was a sudden movement, we waited to risk death to check closely, but it was the Cao Leopard who was sacrificing the flag, and the person who was killed was ......" The Tanma raised his head slightly, secretly glanced at Yuan Shu's face, and was silent, as if he did not dare to continue.
"Who is it? Say it! Yuan Shu had a bad premonition when this person broke in, and when he saw that this person was silent, he was immediately angered by this person's actions, kicked the horse over, and said angrily.
"The Lord is angry! You little, what are you selling at this time! Ji Ling and the two also looked at each other, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yuan Shu, who was still trying to continue beating this exploration horse, and said to this person.
"The people who were beheaded are extremely ...... It is very similar to the cavalry under the command of the lord, and the person who was hung on the flagpole by the head of the owl is the Hun His Royal Highness who was sent out by the lord before the tenth month. Seeing that Yuan Shu was stopped by the two, Tanma seemed to have mustered up the courage to say it, and without waiting for Yuan Shu's instructions, he sneaked out.
"Tao Qian! Tao Qian! Yuan Shu didn't breathe until a long time after the messenger came out of the tent, pointed in the direction of Xiapicheng, and scolded: "Tao Qian, you old thief, I am kind enough to help you, but you treat the soldiers I sent like this, you insult me too much!" Ji Ling, quickly go and gather the soldiers and horses......"
"My lord! Our army is only more than 4,000 people, the opponent is three times as large as mine, and there is a strong city to rely on, so it cannot be attacked! Although Ji Ling had been looking down on Cao Bao just now, at this time, when he saw that Yuan Shu was actually crazy, he generally wanted to attack the city with such a little family background, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
"My lord! Big things are not good! In the direction of the south gate of Xiapi City, the unclear intention of the troops, playing the banners of Qingzhou Barracks and Xiandeng Camp, about 10,000 people are marching towards our army, please decide! "It's still the Tanma who was beaten up by Yuan Shu just now and broke into the tent again, but this time this person learned to be obedient, and said things clearly in one breath, and didn't wait for Yuan Shu to make a move, as if he was running away, he slipped out again.
"Qingzhou soldiers? Camp first? This, this is Lu Bu's army! Could it be that this Tao Qian is really as Ji Ling said, not wanting to wait with me, but calculating whether I can wait? Yuan Shu finally panicked. He's a fool, but he's definitely not a fool. There is no general in Xuzhou, Cao Bao is the vanguard, and he can be bullied, but the most indispensable thing in Qingzhou Lu Bu's army is the general, not to mention that there is a rumor that he once defeated Gongsun Zhan's 5,000 white horse righteous servants with 800 people, and later surrendered to Lu Bu's elite Xiandeng elite. How can 10,000 Qingzhou elites fight against such a few people they brought? Yuan Shu isn't crazy yet.
"The situation is urgent! General Ji Ling, you escort the lord and go first! The last general, Sun Ce, led the generals of the headquarters to the Lord's judgment! Sun Ce saw that Yuan Shu hadn't waited for Lu Bujun to attack, so he messed up his hands and feet, and he looked confident before he had nothing to do, with a touch of contempt in his eyes, but his face was full of righteous and awe-inspiring loyalty, and he said anxiously.
"Okay, good, Bo Fu, I really didn't mistake you! You can rest assured! As long as someone can escape this catastrophe, he will definitely think about what you said! This time, it's definitely a word! Yuan Shu's mind was no longer here at this time, seeing that the young Sun Ce was not afraid of tigers, he didn't ask him how Yuan Shu had a grudge against Qingzhou, so he wanted to stay and resist Lu Bujun.
