It's July, and it's the hottest time in the Central Plains. On the wide official road leading from Linzi County in Qingzhou to Xiapi of Xuzhou Zhishu, dozens of horsemen are hurrying under the scorching sun.

It was noon at the moment, and there was not a trace of wind, and the heavy roasted yellow ears of corn in the corn fields on both sides were sinking down to the ground, swaying gently with the sound of horses' hooves.

"General Qin, there are fifty miles ahead before you leave Langya County and enter the realm of Xiapi County." The person who spoke had a thin but straight body, and his handsome face exuded a gloomy aura, like facing a sword that was dripping blood, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling, and his voice was also gloomy, with a little evil and sharp eyes, which seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and only when facing the young man at the head would he reveal a touch of respect in his cold eyes.

"Great work! Dead cat, say to the brethren, and take a break for a stick of incense before hurrying. Let's hurry up and strive to arrive in Xiapi City this evening. Qin invites everyone to drink! The leader was withdrawn from the war in Hebei, and in order to deal with this sudden outlier, he took Dian Wei, Sima Mao, Xu Shang, Kong Bin, etc., together with fifty Xiandeng veterans, to Qin Xu in Xiapi County, Xuzhou. At this moment, Qin Xu was also like the other more than fifty soldiers of the Lu Bu Army who rode on, his body was almost soaked with sweat, and he was sitting on the saddle, as if he was sitting on a charcoal poured with oil, and his legs were almost unconscious for two days.

It is said that Qin Xu is also working hard. In my previous life, I fought in the workplace, under the test of alcohol, I was drunk for a thousand years and came to the end of the Han Dynasty, thinking that with the golden finger of foresight, I would hug a thick thigh, build a few big houses, marry a few beauties, and live a happy life in this troubled world that I couldn't think of in my previous life. But who would have thought that in the past three years since I "got" Miss Lu in the bed by mistake. Not to mention stable, there is almost no serious An Sheng. Although there are no high-ranking officials and beautiful concubines, there are no fewer wives and concubines, but sadly, I saw that one by one the "big thick legs" became antagonists who were worried about their lives all day long, and with the continuous tossing of someone in Qin, the trend of the end of the Han Dynasty. is also more and more deviated from history, Yuan Shao died violently, Gongsun was imprisoned, the two Yuan contended, Hebei was in chaos, who would have thought that he would be entrenched in Hebei for more than ten years. The Black Mountain thief who was wreaking havoc and made the imperial court helpless could actually be a chess piece laid by Cao Cao, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who was trusted by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, in order to contain Yuan Shao's forces back then? Who would have thought that this black mountain thief, who had been a pawn for a long time, would take advantage of the chaos in Hebei to betray Cao Cao, who led the army close at hand, in order to change his identity, and deceived Liu Bei, who was in Youzhou, and almost captured Yecheng and controlled Jizhou? Take Lu Bujun as an example, who would dare to think. Three years ago, Boss Lu, who went to Chang'an and ran away suddenly, got rid of the bad luck of the fateful Baimenlou under Qin Xu's mixing, and in just a few years, he actually grew into a hand control of the two states, deterring Jiangdong, and pointing to Hebei, which can be supported by the Wei family, a family of great Han people. Cao Cao, who holds the political card of the Son of Heaven in his hand, is a powerful force to contend with? Although the situation is very good, the future is unpredictable, which makes Qin Xu's heart more and more uneasy.

Xu is this God, and he doesn't want to see someone Qin who has been relying on his foresight to stir things up too well. Just when Yuan Xi was borrowing the banner of Lu Bu to offer Jizhou to protect himself, and Lu Bu's army forces were almost immediately able to control the three states of Qingxu, Xu and Hebei plus Yangzhou, and their strength increased greatly, which made Qin Xu quite uneasy, so Guo Jia was left with the powerful Jiangdong situation. There has been a great deterioration.

Danyang soldiers are reversed! This one of the elite soldiers in the world who made Tao Qian rich has always had a "notoriety" that is not easy to train, and it is also thanks to Qin Xu's previous desire to replace the Danyang soldiers with the Qingzhou soldiers under his command to garrison Xiapi, and the Danyang soldiers who were originally stationed in Xiapi and led by Cao Bao, a cheap old man from Boss Lu, were transferred to Guangling to change their defense. It is planned that under Guo Jia's wrist, after stabilizing Wu County and Huiji, he will gradually put Danyang soldiers in Jiangdong to plague Yangzhou, which has always been difficult to seek victory by war because of the large number of clans and the intricacy of power. Unexpectedly, this double-edged sword is now hurting himself.

Danyang soldiers were originally Tao Qian's private soldiers, in the case that Tao Qian was dead, Tao Shang and Tao Ying did not know life and death, under the instigation of the army captain, Tao's clan relatives, and Danyang people Tao Gan, on the way to Guangling, he camped at night and controlled Cao Bao, the commander of Danyang soldiers, and pretended to use Cao Bao's soldier talisman documents to defraud Guangling County, and Guangling Taishou Chen Deng disappeared. And with the rebellion of the Danyang soldiers, entrenched in the hometown of the Danyang soldiers, Qin Xu deliberately kept it, intending to use it to suppress Yan Baihu, Yan Yu's father and son, who are now Yuzhang's Taishou Sun Ce, and also duly showed the bait that since Tao Qian is dead, the Danyang elite soldiers, who are Tao's private soldiers, should return to their hometowns to protect their homeland, and got in touch with Guangling across the river.

And just when Guo Jia, who was entrusted with the important task by Qin Xu, wanted to send troops to intercept the Yan family and his son and recover Guangling, Yuzhang Sun Ce, who had always been stable, suddenly showed his fangs exclusive to the little overlord of Jiangdong. Guo Jia is of course a national warrior, but Zhou Yu next to Sun Ce is also a figure with three steps, plus at the beginning, he was mainly stubborn, and in the end, only Tai Shici, a member of the Qingzhou Barracks who had a good personal relationship with Liu Xuan, was left in Wu County.

In fact, Qin Xu also understands that he has a few catties and a few taels, although his mind is on the situation in Jiangdong, but if he wants to recover Guangling, crack the three-way trap attack on Wu County and Huiji County, and even make Yangzhou annexed in one fell swoop, he still needs Guo Jia, the left army division of the army, and Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who are now accumulating grain and grass in Xuzhou to prepare for war, and what Qin Xu can do is only to use the prestige accumulated in the recovery of Qingzhou Yellow Turban, to Xiapi one day earlier, and mobilize his reputation is not obvious. But the combat power is no less than the enthusiasm of the Qingzhou soldiers who are trapped in the camp. Therefore, even when he returned from Yecheng, passing by Linzi, or even passing by at the gate of his own Qin Mansion, he could only grit his teeth, watching his sister-in-law Du Yan holding Zhen Mi's little hand, and Cai Yan, who was hugging Mi Zhen and Gan Qian with a big belly, was saying goodbye to him with a smile on his face, gritting his teeth and leaving.

"General Qin, there are more than ten people behind us, and they have been following me since we entered Langya County! It's not like a person who travels between the two states, his intentions are unknown, and he still asks for instructions on how to decide. "Yecheng is far away from Xiapi. The distance is 1,700 miles, Qin Xu and others changed horses along the way, and it only took more than five days to arrive in Langya County, Xuzhou. You can enter the county of Xiapi County, and the destination of this trip will be reached. But just when Qin Xu ordered the whole army to rest for a stick of incense, and to nourish their spirit and horsepower and run directly to Xiapi in one go, Sima Mao leaned close to Qin Xu and said in a low voice.

"Someone is following us? Is it a Qingzhou soldier? Send someone to ask, and if there is no malice, you don't have to bother! "Qin Xu just needs to stop now. will think of Cai Yan's high bulging lower abdomen, and after listening to Sima Mao's return, he also suspected that Cai Yan also knew the danger of this trip and sent a "helper".

"General Qin, don't worry, just leave this matter to our old Kong! Guarantee not to add to the chaos, will it be successful? As soon as Qin Xu's words fell, Kong Bin, who was on the side, said first. All I have to do is hurry along the way. Kong Er was stunned for a long time. After listening to Qin Xu's words, this guy surged up, and after finishing speaking, he found that not only Qin Xu, but also Xu Shang Sima Mao looked at him with a disapproving smile, and then grinned at Qin Xu and smiled flatteringly, and added the latter sentence as if he was a treasure.

"Bodao, you go with Lao Kong!" Kong Bin is a muddy person, although his brain is a little slow and half a beat. But he is straightforward, and not only brave in battle, but the strength of his arms can even break his wrists with Dian Wei, which is very loved by Gao Shun, and Xu Shang and Sima Mao are also very personal teachers, known as the Iron Triangle, and everyone who is familiar with him will not be more serious with him. This time, I saw that Kong Bin came up again. Qin Xu didn't care either, listening to Sima Mao's meaning, the more than ten people couldn't do any harm to Kong Bin, so he nodded and ordered Hao Zhao beside him. Let him go with Kong Bin.

But who would have thought that Kong Er and Hao Zhao would go quickly and come back quickly, and their faces were full of depression, and they could see the unhappiness on Kong Bin's face from afar. Qin Xu was wondering what the two of them had encountered, and it could be such a look, but when he saw the familiar face of the first of the dozen people who followed Kong Bin and Hao Zhao, he was also stunned for a while, and understood.

"Yuanlong? How are you here? It's not ......," Qin Xu asked in surprise. It was none other than someone else who followed Kong Bin to Qin Xu, it was one of the three old families in Xuzhou who lost his whereabouts in Guangling County and did not know his life and death, the eldest son of the Chen family, who was appointed by Qin Xu as Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong, who was appointed by Qin Xu as the Taishou of Guangling.

"Envoy! Shame on board! was counterattacked by thieves and soldiers, took advantage of the chaos to deceive the city successfully, and carelessly, lost Guangling! Please also punish you severely! When Chen Deng saw Qin Xu, he immediately threw himself down, knelt on the ground, and lowered his head and said.

"Yuanlong, get up first, put aside the punishment or something, you're fine! Let's talk about what's going on here. Qin Xu was resting under the horse, and seeing Chen Deng like this, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Deng up, and asked in a deep voice. Others Qin Xu didn't know that Chen Deng was a strategist that Qin Xu had long liked. Not to mention anything else, Chen Deng in history is also a bull who commands more than eighty in intelligence, and in the reality that Qin Xu is in, when the original Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was still alive, it was Chen Deng who besieged the city with the Yellow Turban Thieves and Kou coalition at that time, and stepped forward when he almost wanted to break through Xiapi, leading 3,000 soldiers, and stubbornly used the power of the city to resist tens of thousands of thieves and Kou to attack the city frantically for several days. And this time it was so easy for the Danyang soldiers to break through Guangling, the Danyang soldiers were naturally sharp in the world, and Guangling City was also a small city, but according to rumors, it was broken by fraud, such an inferior strategy could still succeed in front of Chen Deng, but Qin Xu couldn't figure it out.

"Envoy, Danyang soldiers suddenly rebelled when they were deployed to defend Guangling, the momentum was huge, the small soldiers in Guangling County were small, and it was useless to resist in vain, and Cao Bao, the father-in-law of General Lu, was held hostage in the army, if the war was together, Cao Bao would inevitably die. What's more, there are Danyang County thieves Yan father and son echoing across the river, and Deng Sui gave birth to the heart of escape, never fought to protect the territory, abandoned the city and fled. How can the road to Xiapi be blocked, and the detour is empty and delays time, so I had to go north to Linzi to move the rescuers, but I saw the envoy in Langya County, and I couldn't chase it several times, so I followed the team far away. Chen Dengsan said the situation in Guangling in two sentences, and when he was done, he took a step back, knelt on the ground again, and begged Qin Xu to punish him.

"Yuanlong, this is asking for credit!" After listening to what Chen Deng said, Qin Xu frowned and pondered for a while. Suddenly, he smiled and said: "With the ability of the Yuan Dragon, it is a great achievement in itself to be able to lead more than a dozen people to retreat from Guangling City, which is surrounded by rebels. did not rashly expose his whereabouts, which aroused the vigilance of the Danyang rebels, which was also a contribution. Moreover, Yuan Long must have a plan to recapture Guangling and defeat the rebels this time, but this is a credit. It is still necessary to wait for the day of Guangling's return, so that it is better to calculate with Yuanlong. ”

"Huh? Envoy, this ......" As soon as Qin Xu finished speaking, Chen Deng, who had stood up again with Qin Xu's support, looked stunned. Historically, Chen Deng was strictly speaking a person like Jia Xu, and his own interests and safety have always been the first place. Won't be truly faithful to anyone. However, if the allegiance is strong enough, or if the person to whom the allegiance is loyal really understands them, it cannot be ruled out that such people will use their wisdom a little bit to feed back. Jia Xu now recognizes Qin Xu as his father-in-law, and is "seconded" to listen to Lu Bu's side, and does not talk about it. Chen Deng is a real official under Qin Xu, and he is a county guard. If you change to the lord of other forces, if something so big happens, and you poke such a big basket, you will definitely make some moves. But Chen Deng really didn't expect that Qin Xu not only didn't go down the ladder he handed over, but instead made a merit for himself unusually, Chen Deng really felt that he had underestimated this top boss who was at least one round younger than himself before.

"Qin believes that Yuanlong, since he can come out of Guangling unharmed, there must be a way to get in unharmed!" Qin Xu was even more confident than Chen Deng. Said confidently. For Chen Deng, who is highly respected by both the big-eared brother Liu Bei and his wife Cao Cao in history, Qin Xucai would not believe that Chen Deng, who was a veteran native of Xuzhou and was very popular in Guangling County within a year, would abandon the city so easily, and he must have been prepared.

"Make the king clear!" Seeing that Qin Xu seemed to be able to see through his own thoughts. Chen Dengcai put away the slightly over-the-top drama he had played before. His face was grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Guangling County died this time. Deng must be to blame, but the disaster encountered by Deng this time is really too strange, and it seems to be due to the rebellion of the Danyang soldiers. But what Eden sees is not necessarily that simple. ”

"Oh? I don't know what Yuanlong has to say? Seeing Chen Deng say seriously. Originally, I also felt that there seemed to be someone planning behind the scenes, and the target had basically been locked on the head of the Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang, Qin Xu was also surprised by how Chen Deng saw it, so he asked.

"Let Jun know that the Danyang soldiers were originally the public and private soldiers of the former Zhou Mu Tao clan Gongzu, and because they wanted to encircle the forces in Xuzhou, they divided half of them to teach Cao Bao to lead." Chen Deng paused slightly, glanced at Qin Xu cautiously, and continued: "But although the Danyang soldiers are called the elite soldiers in the world, and they have been famous all over the world since the time of Emperor Wu, but with this prestige comes the notoriety that this Danyang soldier is famous for disobeying discipline. There are a lot of relatives in the Danyang soldiers, so they are extremely grouped, and the reason why Tao Gongzu can use it to determine Xuzhou is also because Tao's ancestral home is in Danyang. And after Tao Gongzu died, according to the prestige of General Lu, he was able to control this proud army, but General Lu handed over this Danyang army to Cao Bao. How Cao Bao is this person, as a colleague, it is inconvenient to talk about it, but it is said that Danyang Bing is the most unconvinced of such generals. When the pottery merchants followed the rebellion of the puppet emperor before, there were many Danyang soldiers who defected, but half of them chose to help Xuzhou because of General Lu. ”

Yuan Long wrote down this. However, Cao Bao is the father-in-law after all, and there are some things that ...... Ahem, Yuanlong, you know! However, Yuanlong can rest assured, Qin can guarantee that after this incident, if there is really a reason for Cao Bao here, Xu guarantees that he will only be spared! Although Qin Xu knew that Cao Bao could almost be compared with the homonym of his name, he only believed Chen Deng's words, after all, as the three old families in Xiapi City, everyone knew that these three families were cordial on the surface, and God knows what kind of intrigue it was. This time, Cao Bao hit the muzzle of the gun, and Qin Xu had no choice but to give Chen Deng a reassuring pill first.

"Qin Envoy Jun is really as wise as a torch!" Chen Deng bowed again and said.

"Don't worry! After this matter is revealed to the lord, he will definitely give Yuanlong a satisfactory explanation. Qin Xu nodded, and had the intention not to dwell on this topic any longer, so he asked Chen Deng in a joking tone: "I had a message from Mr. Zibu and Mr. Zigang before, saying that the siege of Guangling City was very secret, and I don't know how Yuanlong successfully escaped from Guangling City?" Seeing that Yuanlong and Guicongren are now neatly dressed, it doesn't seem like they are fleeing in a hurry, is it possible, there are very secret passages and secret doors in Guangling City, can you allow Yuanlong to leave calmly? ”

Originally, Qin Xu just wanted to adjust the slightly embarrassing atmosphere just now, but after listening to it, Chen Deng suddenly looked like he was stunned, and asked with a look of surprise and not fake: "Huh?" How does the envoy know? (To be continued.)
