Chapter 390: Happy Father (Part II)
In fact, sometimes it seems that Lu Bu is still a person who holds a grudge. For his few friends who were injured by Yan Liang back then, although they have recovered so far, they still often linger on the sickbed, and they were also "driven away" from Hanoi by Yuan Shao, until now, I still haunt myself. has always been very concerned about the movements of Hebei, so much so that after getting the news, he summoned Qin Xu, who was being "punished", back as soon as possible.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and Lu Bu has waited too long for himself! Now, with the passage of time, under the influence of the strong military strength of the LΓΌ Bu army and several great victories, Qingxu Erzhou has gained relatively stable and valuable development time. Qingzhou has Lu Bu personally in charge, and the government affairs department that Zang Hong is in charge of has gradually entered the regular process because of the addition of the new force of the Jixia School Palace, and the progress of Kong Rong has been completed for most of the time, if Kong Rong, who fled at the beginning, wants to rely on his prestige to make a difference in Qingzhou, I believe it will not be an easy thing. And Xuzhou under the governance of Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhao Yu, the three prime ministers, plus the Mi family, the Chen family, the Cao family three old Xuzhou indigenous clans to help, and the Qingzhou soldiers, Danyang soldiers 20,000 troops garrisoned, as well as Han Guang, Han Yi brothers in Jinan 3,000 mobile troops, it is also enough to say that it is as stable as Mount Tai. As for Yangzhou, although it was not actually under the control of Lu Bujun, but Guo Jia "assisted" Liu Xuan in Wu County, dealing with Sun Ce and Yan's father and son, I believe that even if Sun Ce has Zhou Yu by his side, he may not be able to curry favor with Guo Jia, not to mention that Guo Jia still has 10,000 Qingzhou elites led by Tai Shici and others, and it is enough to sweep Yangzhou. Guo Jia's mind and these many armies, it can be said that if he doesn't "bully" them, he is already burning high incense. Don't worry about it at all. Now Lu Bu can finally free up his hands to take revenge and revenge.
Qin Xu read the news handed over by Lu Bu almost word by word, and didn't know whether to send this Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi brothers would not die if they didn't die, in short, they couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
Originally, it was because of Chang'an. The Son of Heaven was rescued, Yuan Shu was defeated, and the successive years of conquest and drought and natural disasters caused great external help, and the morale and physical strength of the soldiers of all forces were also greatly depleted. Therefore, whether it is Lu Bu, Cao Cao or Liu Biao, even because of Yuan Shao's death, the pressure has been greatly reduced. At the time of the sharp soldiers, Gongsun, Liu Bei and other big forces of the Han Dynasty had to choose a truce to raise troops and accumulate strength. Watching this is like the twilight of old age. The Han Dynasty, which has been restored on the surface, will be what kind of undercurrent will be behind the reappearance of glory.
But no matter what, this is also after nearly ten years of war since the Yellow Turban Incident. A rare lull. The lord of the powers. is rarely abiding by the last limit of being a Hanchen. But there is no tiger and monkey in the mountains to call the king, but the more this is the case, the more people do not believe in evil. It was the two Yuan brothers in the north.
In fact, as early as the beginning of Yuan Shao's violent death, almost all people who had paid attention to the situation in Hebei had expected it more than once, and these two brothers did not look at it as carving up the behemoth left behind after Yuan Shao's death. But there will eventually be a battle between them to determine the ultimate ownership of Yuan Shao's power and status.
Sure enough. According to Lu Bu's intelligence, the two brothers, who were not distressed by the cub selling Ye Tian, actually took advantage of the fact that the surrounding forces had no time to take care of it, and they really fought. And the fuse of the war was precisely the root cause of Yuan Shao's death that Zhen Jian wanted to use as a bargaining chip, but was "politely refused" by Qin Xu.
"Lord, don't you want to send troops and get involved in this Hebei matter?" Qin Xu saw that Lu Bu couldn't suppress his excitement, and asked with a wry smile. The temperament of this old man in his own family, Qin Xu can be regarded as clear. Although he has been in a high position for a long time now, he is much calmer than when he first took possession of Qingzhou before, but Hebei is a place that once humiliated Lu Bu, and Bingzhou is still Lu Bu's hometown, even if Lu Bu knows that it is not appropriate to move troops at this time, how can he sit idly by?
"Hmm...... How could it be! Boss Lu, who was seen through by his baby son-in-law, couldn't help but have a trace of embarrassment on his old face. Qin Xu had given his father-in-law more than one "preventive shot" before, but he didn't expect that in the end, he still had this question, and at this moment, he was broken by Qin Xu, and Lu Bu was also a little embarrassed. However, the majesty of the old man still has to be put on display, seeing Qin Xu smiling bitterly, Lu Bu's face turned grim, and he said with tiger eyes: "Aren't you General Qin called an invincible strategy, and you are now asking about you." Right! It's up to you! Didn't you plan with your 'general' Jia Wenhe about Hebei before? And in the matter of the Zhen family, cough cough, tell me what you think! β
"Lord Mingjian!" Qin Xu naturally didn't dare to show his guilt and anger at his father-in-law's sarcasm, and said with a wry smile: "How dare Xu claim to be invincible? It's just that now is really not the best time to intervene in Hebei. Because of the previous layout in Yangzhou, our army's battle line is too long, if we mix up with the Hebei affair at this time, we will not be able to take care of each other, and it is very easy to be taken advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, which is very unfavorable to our army, which is ...... This is what the lord approved at the beginning! β
"Ahem...... Of course, so-and-so knows. Seeing that Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's brothers are fighting, the excuse is the cause of the death of the original, and it is just that it is not worth it for the original! "You old man may not be so happy, seeing that Lu Bu is saying nonsense that he doesn't believe, the joy when he got the news of the chaos in Hebei has been replaced by gloom. Seeing Qin Xu's look of disbelief, Lu Bu smacked his lips, and finally sighed and said, "I don't know how I don't know that the troops are tired now, and the second is that it is spring ploughing, so it is really not the time to move the troops." But if our army doesn't move, won't Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan move? The resurgence of the Hebei Rebellion is the time when the three states have no owner, if you don't start early, a certain worry is that by the time our army is ready, the north will already have the surname Cao or Gongsun! β
"Did the lord find out the news that Cao Cao or Gongsun Zan was about to move troops?" Knowing that Lu Bu was just angry, he still startled Qin Xu. I almost thought that the wife Cao and the big-eared Liu really had a pig's foot halo on the stage of the late Han Dynasty! Now almost the entire Han Dynasty has been tossed by a great drought, and all the forces are recuperating. Only the two boys of the Yuan family who don't know the height of the sky are fighting for the question of whether their father is the elder brother or the younger brother, although Hebei is disturbed by these two brothers, but after all, it still can't become a big climate. Cao Cao and Liu Bei are both heroes in the world. Naturally, I can't even see such a simple truth. Before, Qin Xu had been thinking about how to provoke Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao or Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei's forces were also extremely exhausted troops into the quagmire of the war in Hebei.
"They're not ......stupid," Lu Bu replied subconsciously. Then he saw Qin Xu's smiling eyes, and his old face suddenly bluffed. Yes, anyone with a little insight knows that the best time to send troops is actually when the two brothers have lost their own forces and are about to divide the victory. Others did that, and even Lu Bu thought it was a fool. Now it's Lu Bu's turn, but he has to let Qin Xu use sarcasm to see clearly, which makes Boss Lu, who is an old man, very unhappy. There was silence for a while with a cold face. suddenly changed the topic and said, "I heard that you are going to grab your daughter with the old man Zhen Jian recently?" β
"Huh? Be! But the lord also knows that the Zhen family is the largest businessman in Hebei, with eyes and ears all over Hebei, and is also known as one of the six wealthy businessmen of the Han Dynasty. According to Hebei Ma Tiezhi. Not to be underestimated. And there were moves to get close to our army before. If it can be drawn to the lord's side, it will really be a great help to our army......" Qin Xu wanted to tie Zhen Jian to Lu Bujun's chariot through Zhen Mi, because he didn't have a good grasp before, so he didn't file with Lu Bu first, but just asked the old fox Jia Xu, who was very enthusiastic about this matter, to plan and arrange, but he didn't expect that it was only a few days, and it was already known to Lu Bu. Facing the inquiry of his father-in-law, and the scrutinizing gaze. Qin Xu's cheekiness turned red for no reason. Thinking about it, Qin Xu himself has just entered the age of eighteen. This time, I want to recognize a girl who is only four or five years younger than me as a daughter, and the chance of misunderstanding is too small. Qin Xu hurriedly explained.
"Humph! Come on...... You're too lazy to take care of your business! But there is one thing, if Ling'er is provoked to sue in front of a certain person because of this matter, you have to be careful of a certain Fang Tian's halberd! Lu Bu seemed to be very satisfied with Qin Xu's explanation, but there was no threat on his face and said.
"Don't worry! Ling'er has seen that Zhen Mi, and she is very happy with her, besides, this matter has been handed over to Wen He to operate, Zhen Jian, the old thief, meets the above and this poisoner, where will there be any parry? The lord just waits for the nail of the Zhen family to be used by our army in Hebei! I was afraid that Lu Bu would be on a whim again, and remembering that one was one and the other, Qin Xu hurriedly brought the topic to this again. Seeing that Lu Bu didn't pay attention to what he said, Qin Xu cautiously glanced at Lu Bu who was contemplative, and then secretly glanced at the screen behind Lu Bu's seat, and said with a sly mouth: "Cough, in fact, if the lord is afraid that Ling'er will not like it, there is still the best way to solve the problem of the Zhen family once and for all." β
"Oh? What's the solution? Lu Buhu's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at his baby son-in-law with a half-smile and a half-smile, and the corner of his eyes also secretly glanced back with Qin Xu's gaze, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, gathered a sneer, and asked Qin Xu word by word.
"Ugh! That's the lord succumbing to ......" Qin Xu paused slightly, seeing that Lu Bu's fists had already been clenched, and then as if he had changed people, his face gathered a strong sense of flattery, and said with a smile: "That is, on the basis of the ceremony strongly requested by the old man of the Zhen family, the lord personally went out to sit on the horse to confirm this matter, wouldn't everything be fine?" β
"Huh? So that's what happened! Lu Bu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said: "I thought it was ......"
"Why do you think so?" Qin Xu pretended to turn sideways inadvertently, and secretly pouted at Lu Bu towards the screen behind him, as if he wanted to report to Lu Bu, but the divine light of "revenge" in his eyes did not retreat at all.
"I thought I was asking someone to go out in person! It turned out to be ...... Ahem! Anyway, you have to do it quickly! The fight between the two boys of the Yuan family will inevitably give those undead Huns who have a thief heart to take advantage of, Hebei, chaos! Lu Bu was brought into the ditch by Qin Xu, and he could already hear the slight bone joints behind the screen, but fortunately, he "pulled out" in the end, so that he did not lose his ugliness in front of his baby son-in-law, but his face had changed a lot. He immediately glared at Qin Xu fiercely and said.
"Don't worry! The son-in-law retires! Oh, by the way, thank you for your willingness to go to the party, don't forget to bring Lord Taishui, after all, the old Zhen family is the 'whole family' present this time! Qin Xu had something to say. The few "sensitive words" that were emphasized were not missed, and regardless of the fact that Lu Bu's eyes were about to erupt with fire, he had the intention of rushing up to catch someone Qin for drinking. Oiled under your feet, slip away. Until he went out a long way, he seemed to be able to hear Lu Bu's muffled voice begging for mercy......
Ten days later!
To say that the spiritual life of the people of the Han Dynasty in these years is really scarce. In addition, it is a natural disaster and a military disaster, and it is already a blessing in misfortune to survive, and where can I still think about leisure and entertainment. Therefore, a small news spread in Linzi City. But it is like a pebble thrown into the water, but the ripples caused are getting bigger and bigger.
General Qin is getting married! Of course, this time it was not a marriage relationship. It's a father-daughter relationship. But for the people of Linzi, they will not know what the real purpose of this ceremony is. But it's still good news for them. Among these people living at the bottom, more than 30% of them have received the favor of Qin Xu's "Exile Policy". And because of the original Zichuan Yellow Turban surrender to fill the Zizi State. There are also people who were not so-called good people before, and they are naturally concerned about their former spiritual leaders. In addition, the other people who were imperceptibly influenced by these many people, and their impression of Lu Bujun's powerful guardian gradually turned from curiosity to admiration and then to other people who are now proud, and their curiosity about Qin Xu, the real number two person in Lu Bujun's army, also stimulated their thoughts, so that when the time came, Zhen Jian, the head of the Zhen family, who was accustomed to seeing the world, was also taken aback.
Everyone in Qin Xu's mansion knew that today was a good day for his lord to bring back a "eldest lady" to the mansion. I woke up early in the morning and was busy putting up lights. Cleaning the courtyard, they all didn't want the Zhen family, who was said to be one of the six wealthy businessmen in the world, to look down on him. And as the Mi family who should have been wronged in this matter. Unexpectedly, under the leadership of Mi Fang, who stayed in Linzi, he also sent a lot of servants to Qin Xu's Mansion early in the morning to help, and they were even more dedicated than the servants of Qin Mansion itself, and the most puzzling thing is that these people, including Mi Fang, did not even show the slightest complaint, which is also amazing. can't help but praise General Qin for not only managing the army well, but also managing the family quite well.
This group of people began to work before dawn, and they could not stop until the third pole of the day. It's also strange that Lu Bu was too generous to his baby son-in-law at the beginning, and it was a big deal to send a house, and this cleaning up and down did make the Qin Mansion seem to have changed, but the Mi family, who was known for his sturdiness, was also tired this time. But fortunately, it was packed up before the auspicious time came.
Originally, Qin Xu thought that this recognition of relatives was just a cup of tea and a kowtow, at most, it was just like preparing a Raush Zixiang case or something like what he saw in the movie in his previous life. But I didn't expect it to be so cumbersome and tiring. It is not much better than the etiquette when they first got married. Just when Qin Xu seemed to propose to reduce some processes, not to mention the girls in the inner mansion, even Cai Yong, the stubborn old man who was brought to live in the mansion, almost performed scolding.
It also made Qin Xu see this era of lack of entertainment spirit, even if it was recognized that etiquette and music were broken, but the almost obsessive feelings for complicated etiquette were still undiminished. Let Qin Xu, as one of the protagonists, have begun to deeply understand what it means to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.
Seeing that the inner courtyard has been cleaned, it is time to open the door and accept the new according to the ancient rites. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, Qin Xu's servant, who was not psychologically prepared, almost thought that something big had happened outside. Fortunately, Hao Zhao, who is the captain of the Qin Mansion's guards, commanded the soldiers of the guard battalion who were temporarily transferred to maintain order, and the "experience" of Qin Xu's wedding was still there, and he was finally placed in time to either be grateful or join in the excitement to congratulate the Qin general, who had never had a fight, otherwise something might happen.
As the auspicious time came, Hao Zhao was outside to deal with, and Qin Xu began to be "busy" in the mansion. Because of his special identity, this time he married the Zhen family, the largest wealthy businessman in Hebei, and the Zhen family's proposal to Lu Bu some time ago has also spread in a small area. Therefore, today's ceremony, a discerning person can see at a glance that the political implication in this is too strong, so before the Zhen family's father and daughter and their party came, there were already many people with different purposes and various identities to inquire about the news in the name of various gifts.
For these gifts, Qin Xu's style is to smile and not be sensitive, and all of them are handed over to Jia Xu, who is still holding the title of "family general" of the Qin Mansion, and Jia Xu, who was forcibly brought in as a free worker, led the housekeeper sent by the Mi family to clean up the hand, and he was only responsible for sitting on the main seat in the front hall, looking at Lu Lingqi, Mi Zhen, and Gan Qian, the three daughters of Cai Yan, who was surrounded by the slight bulge in the lower abdomen, and Du Yan, who was also greeted by Qin Xu, was also greeted by the other main seat, and the reddish face was chattering beside him.
But after a while, Jia Xu approached Qin Xu with a spring breeze smile and a roll of objects that looked like gift lists, as if he had encountered something happy that had not been encountered in a hundred years, making Qin Xu wonder what was wrong with this old poison.
"Lord, Hebei is fixed!" Jia Xu's expression seemed to be very excited.
"Hmm! Not? What do you call me? Qin Xu was stunned! Jia Xu didn't listen to much of what he said, and he was already excited...... (To be continued......)
