Chapter 291: The dust is settled, and the words move the tiger's heart
PS: Thank you for the 11,000 tips from the great "dancing coquettish" big brother! As well as commuter pass support! On the last day of this month, to receive such a gift, the only way to thank my brother for his strong support is to bow down! Thank you so much!
At the same time, thank you for the evaluation votes of the "Rainbow Tiger" brother! Thank you.
In October of the fourth year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, with the plundering of the Son of Heaven, the Western Liang Army led by Li Dao and Guo Yan, who controlled the Chaogang, was attacked by the combined forces of Guandong and Liangzhou, and fled out of Tongguan in the east.
Compared with Cao Cao, who fulfilled his wish and got benefits, but was not happy at all, Ma Teng Han Sui, who finally got the "deserved" reward after a lot of effort, and Yuan Shao, who lost face after running empty, and fainted on the main hall, Qingzhou Lu Bu and Qin Xu seemed to be the biggest beneficiaries of this incident.
Qingzhou Lu Bu stayed in Benzhou, the soldiers, horses, grain and grass did not move, and he got the same "treatment" as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao out of thin air, not only increased the food and food, especially entered Jiuqing, but also was added to the title of general by the Son of Heaven, and confirmed the identity of Qingzhou Mu, no longer the product of Yuan Shao's edict, and became a veritable lord of Qingzhou, the biggest advantage is that if someone says that Lu Bu "steals" Qingzhou, he can justifiably take the slander of the courtiers as an excuse to raise troops to fight.
And Qin Xu's encounter, if it is said that Tao Qian was conceded to Xuzhou before his death. Some people say that this is child's play, but this time it was sealed by the Son of Heaven, but it made the world even more dumbfounded. The year is no more than double ten. But from a "small" Fenwu general's mansion, within two years, he became one of the guards of the Jiuqing, not to mention, and even completed the most desired marquis and general of almost all military figures, and really received the post of Xuzhou Assassin History.
Moreover, this time Qin Xu only came with twenty-three people, when he returned to Qingzhou. There are more than 3,000 people in the team, and others are losing soldiers and horses in battles, but Qin Xu is fighting more and more. When Qin Xu and his entourage had just stepped into Qingzhou and had not yet approached Linzi City, Qin Xu's nickname of "human trafficker" had been secretly circulated in Linzi again, either envied or jealous.
"Sister Yan. It is rumored that the husband made a big deal outside this time. What horses go down to Tongguan, what rides the Savior alone. The spread is becoming more and more mysterious, and few people believe it, but this time the husband was named Jiuqing by the Son of Heaven, and the position is only under the lord, and he also gave the history of Xuzhou Thorn, Qian'er is worried that this will make the lord ...... "It is worthy of the black-bellied beauty Cai Yan, and her mind is also turning. Even the white jade beauty Gan Qian, who was posthumously called the queen of Shu in history, was defeated, and willingly called her sister like Lu Lingqi. Under Qu Yi's flattery, coupled with Qin Xu's absence in the mansion, Cai Yan's vinegar taste was much less, at least there were some things that were inconvenient for the simple Lu Lingqi and the eccentric Mi Zhen to discuss, but there was also an object for discussion. And this time, after listening to Qin Xu's "brilliant deeds" and "great military exploits" that went viral in Linzi, in the eyes of Gan Qian, who has personally experienced the rise and fall of the family, Qin Xu is indeed too conspicuous. At this age, he is already only one level away from Lu Bu's official, position, title, and position, if it goes on like this, if he is a fool with his tail between his legs in the future, it will be just a day, if he makes meritorious contributions, how can Lu Bu be rewarded? It's impossible to put Qin Xu on an equal footing with him, right? Then there is only one way to solve the problem of high merit and earthquake heroes......
"Sister Qian'er thinks a lot about your husband!" Cai Yan pursed her lips uncomfortably, she has experienced many drastic changes, Cai Yan has seen a lot over the years, and she thinks she can tolerate anything, but the only thing that is difficult to calm down is the name of this white jade beauty Gan Qian to Qin Xu. Originally, Lu Lingqi was Lu Bu's only daughter, and the righteous eldest woman had not been called like this before she got married, but Gan Qian did not leave her mouth after returning from Xuzhou, as if it had become her special name for Qin Xu, which made people annoyed to hear. However, what Gan Qian said aroused Cai Yan's interest, and she also wanted to see what the last "sister" to enter the door was, and said with a light smile: "Qingzhou has been unstable, some people want to deal with some things but can't do it, under the political turmoil, Zhong Ming has no choice but to do it this time, this is the best time to correct General Lu's name and obtain the recognition of the forces in the state. This time it was Zhong Ming himself who strongly asked to go, and even General Lu didn't stop him, no wonder others. You said that if General Lu really wants to suppress Zhong Ming, how should you and I deal with ourselves? ”
"Huh? Qian'er doesn't matter, her uncle-in-law has entrusted Qian'er to her husband for life before she dies, and life and death will go with your husband! The husband can have such great power, and he is almost a very human minister before he has a weak crown, and it is too late for Qian'er to be happy. What's there to do with yourself? Gan Qian said calmly and without thinking about it, and then looked at Cai Yan's eyes and said: "Actually, we don't have anything, Sister Yan is the daughter of Confucianism, and Sister Zhen'er's family is rich and rivals the country, but the eldest lady suffered, and she was sandwiched between her husband and the lord, I am afraid that I will die of sadness." ”
"You don't understand!" Cai Yan looked at the tiger and tiger who danced in the courtyard with an iron halberd that was only one size smaller than Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd, the petite figure drenched in sweat, and Mi Zhen, who was applauded by the little girl on the side, and then looked at the white jade beauty Gan Qian with a melancholy face in front of her, with a helpless smile on her delicate face, and said to herself: "Qin Xu, Qin Xu, I don't know what kind of immortal you were in your last life, and you beauties who thought of him out of thin air. ”
"Sister Yan, what did you say?" Gan Qian saw that the silk handkerchief in Cai Yan's hand was almost twisted, and asked puzzledly, but saw that Cai Yan had already turned his head away.
Qin Xu's mansion is like this, and Lu Bu's mansion is also lively. Lu Bu has always been a sight and ear in Chang'an, and what Qin Xu did in Chang'an almost did not get out of Lu Bu's intelligence source, even if it was reported that Qin Xu had stepped into Qingzhou with Fan Chou and his three thousand trilogy, which was less than two hundred miles away from Linzi, Lu Bu was really as Gan Qian was worried about, facing the information in his hand. There was a bit of entanglement, but he didn't even notice that Guo Jia and Zang Hong came together, and they were put in the past. This is simply impossible for Lu Bu, who has the title of the world's number one fierce general.
Zang Hong and Guo Jia actually came for Qin Xu's matter. Mainly because Qin Xu's contribution this time is a little too big!
Not to mention what Qin Xu did in Chang'an, which is now more and more outrageous in Linzi City, even his previous proud exploits have been dug up and praised. It is no exaggeration to say that Qin Xu's prestige in Linzi seems to have even surpassed that of Lu Bu, the lord of Qingzhou, in the past few days. And this momentum is like someone pushing all this behind it, and it is suspected that it is intensifying.
That's not a good sign! Qingzhou Sima Zanghong, who noticed that something was wrong, was almost the first to ask and be good at scheming. Guo Jia, who was regarded by Lu Bu as the mastermind. It's just that this time, the limelight that created momentum for Qin Xu seemed to be groundless, and he didn't know what to do. In addition, because of the promulgation and implementation of the policy of exile, there are many people who read Lu Burende. It can be known that this strategy is from Qin Xu's hands. There are more people who are grateful to Qin Xu, and the ordinary people who occupy nearly thirty percent of Linzi City now are the Yellow Turban soldiers who were surrendered by Qin Xu, and they are even more happy than the ordinary refugees who have made such a feat by Lu Bu for their "spiritual leaders" who have made such a feat out of thin air. The final result was that Qin Xu's voice in Linzi City was getting higher and higher. And the person who really muddied the water hid himself well. The eyes of the masses are bright, and the power of the masses is infinite, not only does Zang Hong, who has received Qin Xu's "favor", want to find people with bad intentions behind the scenes, but he is also called by Qin Xu's talented and scheming friend Guo Jia, who is powerless for a while. As a last resort, in order to prevent Qin Xu from returning to Linzi and Lu Bu, the two sons-in-law, who were confused by the villain's trickery and had a disagreement, Zang Hong and Guo Jia had no choice but to come to Lu Bu's mansion together, hoping to start with Lu Bu, who had the biggest "hidden danger", and nip in the bud the crisis that might lead to more and more turmoil in Qingzhou.
"Lord!"
"Lord!"
"Ziyuan, Fengxiao, you are here! What's the matter? Lu Bu subconsciously put the silk in his hand under the case, and asked Zang Hong and Guo Jia.
"I'll wait for ......" Zang Hong is really hard to say about the purpose of coming here, mainly because Qin Xu's identity is too special, several wars in the past two years have made Qin Xu quite prestigious in Lu Bu's army, and he is also a real commander of the Qingzhou army, or the assassin of Xuzhou, this time he was crowned by the Son of Heaven as a guard captain and a general of Zhengdong, and his identity is only one level lower than Lu Bu. Now is different from the past, you can't say that Qin Xu's Chang'an is now flying all over the city, and they seem to have seen it with nose and eyes, and the more outrageous things are rumors, you must not believe it. Looking at Lu Bu's actions just now, anyone can see that now Lu Bu is also entangled, if this kind of thing is said, I am afraid that it will not be pouring water on the fire, but clearly pouring oil, therefore, Zang Hong only said the beginning, and he couldn't say it anymore.
"I'm waiting here for the joy of congratulating the lord's daughter!" Guo Jia is still the best at planning people's hearts, seeing that Zang Hong is stuck in the shell, and Lu Bu's face is full of entanglement, he has no choice but to take the sword sideways, and arch his hand and say: "It's just that the ministers have no money to spare, and I am afraid that they will be laughed at by their colleagues when the time comes, so I have to come to the lord's mansion to congratulate me first, and pray that the lord can avoid the gift of Jia Tongziyuan." ”
"Ziyuan and Fengxiao are so leisurely! Isn't it time to thank you? "Lu Bu is not a fool, seeing that Zang Hong and Guo Jia came together, he knew the intention of the two before he opened his mouth, how much credit Qin Xu made, and Lu Bu was also a person who had entered the center, so he naturally had a clear understanding of the meaning of Liu Xie's will. It is nothing more than to make Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and he Lu Bu contain each other, and outside of the three, Liu Xie doesn't know if he has other intentions, or if he is really just to reward Qin Xu for his "grace to save the car", and he faintly set Qin Xu as the fourth person who can compete with the three of them, and the intention of discord and solicitation is obvious. And now all kinds of almost bizarre news flying in Linzi City have forced Lu Bu into a dilemma. No one can know Qin Xu's ability better than Lu Bu, but the greater the ability, the higher the status, the greater the target, and the easier it is to be calculated by the villain, just like now, knowing that someone is behind him, but Lu Bu still has no way to deal with it. And Lu Bu was also worried that if Qin Xu didn't withstand the temptation, it would be even more difficult to handle......
"What's the noise out there?" Just when Lu Bu was entangled in how to deal with the relationship with Qin Xu so as not to let outsiders succeed in their tricks, there was a sudden burst of shouting and noise from carrying things outside the main hall, which suddenly made it easy for Lu Bu to look better because Guo Jia and Zang Hong, two people with outstanding wisdom and scheming, suddenly turned a little darker, and asked outside the hall.
"My lord! It was the dowry prepared by the eldest lady and the young lady, and she was ordered to be carried into the house. When I just crossed the threshold, I accidentally fell, and some of the children's clothes were stained with mud, and it was the eldest lady who was reprimanding the people. As soon as Lu Bu's command came out, a general entered the hall and reported. Unlike Lu Bu's unknown reason, Guo Jia and Zang Hong took a long breath almost at the same time after hearing this.
"Madame angry? Ziyuan and Fengxiao will wait for a while, and go and have a look. Lu Bu said questioningly. Yan is well-known for his kindness in the mansion, and even in the entire Linzi City, in order to maintain Lu Bu's reputation, during the drought in Qingzhou, he even showed up in person every once in a while to give porridge to the displaced people who poured into Qingzhou. Moreover, Lu Bu knew the Yan family's temperament, and it was absolutely impossible for such a thing as reprimanding his subordinates if there was no major incident, so Lu Bu was really puzzled by what the family general said, and just wanted to see what it was that made the Yan family so angry.
"You group of people, repeatedly told you to be careful, so that you change people every half an hour, why are you still so negligent?" Before Yan could see it, he heard Yan's high-pitched reprimand almost with a crying voice, which made Lu Bu, who knew that he loved his wife's temper and had nowhere to vent the evil fire in his stomach, become more and more angry, and he arrived at the door of the mansion in three steps and two steps.
"What's going on?" Lu Bu's appearance, especially Tie Qing's face, really made everyone hold their breath, and they didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere, standing tremblingly on the ground, and the boxes that fell on the ground were really like what the general said, they were all long-life locks, small belly pockets and other things.
"Bongxian! It's nothing, it alarmed you! When Yan saw Lu Bu coming, he immediately waved his hand and blasted away the servant who had been amnestied, and in the face of Lu Bu's searching gaze, Yan said in a voice of grievance that he had never had before: "These were originally dowries prepared by the concubine for Ling'er, but I didn't expect to be so careful, but something went wrong." These people are too careless, they didn't drop the gold and silver in the first few boxes, but they dropped the objects prepared by the concubine for our precious grandson, they ...... Alas! ”
"Sun ...... Grandchild? Lu Bu looked at the things that were all over the ground, and listened to Yan's story, but his face became stranger than ever. For a long time, Lu Bu always thought that he killed too heavily and caused the anger of the sky, so that he had no children for life, and he had nothing to do after accepting Diao Chan and Cao's family, which aggravated Lu Bu's idea, originally Lu Bu was used to pouring all his feelings into his baby daughter Lu Lingqi, and he didn't think about anything else. But now that Yan said it, Lu Bu, who already valued his family more than anything, couldn't help but be stunned.
"Fengxian, they were also careless, anyway, these have already landed, it's a big deal for the concubine to buy some more. Presumably, Ling'er and Zhongming don't care much about these things, so don't punish them. After all, Yan was still kind-hearted, seeing Lu Bu's strange expression, he thought that Lu Bu was annoying those subordinates who carried things, Yan showed a little wry smile and persuaded him.
"Huh? Oh! No punishment, no punishment! Lu Bu's face gradually calmed down, and finally as if he had let go of all the burdens in his heart, regardless of Yan's stunned and shy, he gently hugged Yan, who was slightly resisting, in his arms, as if he was talking to himself: "You're right! Zhong Ming's kid is coming back after making a great contribution this time, let's go buy some more ...... together" (to be continued......
