It is said that for more than a year, he has suffered a lot of losses under Qin, and Cao Cao's understanding of Qin Xu is still quite profound. Seeing that Yan Liang's behavior of arsonance and bullying did not make Qin Xu change color in the slightest, he knew that Qin Xu would definitely have a backhand waiting to entertain Yan Liang.

"General Cao, after years of not seeing, you have also lost a lot!" When Dong Zhuo was still in Luoyang that day, Cao Cao, who deliberately befriended the generals of the Xiliang Army in order to win Dong Zhuo's trust, also had several relationships with Fan Chou, at that time Cao Cao still deliberately flattered Dong Zhuo and obtained the Dongjun Taishou, Fan Chou was already a general in the army who led three thousand Xiliang soldiers and iron cavalry, and when he was in a good mood, he just nodded when he saw Cao Cao. Creation makes people, and only three years have passed, but the positions between each other are reversed.

"General Fan's ability to offer righteousness under the persuasion of General Qin this time shows sincerity!" Cao Cao was also magnificent, he didn't talk about the fact that he was still fighting desperately for Tongguan yesterday, and saw that the three thousand Xiliang elite iron horsemen who were Fan Chou's subordinates followed, and behind Qin Xu, Cao Cao's eyes flashed a little envy, but he covered it up well, and with an inquiring tone, he asked with a smile in front of Qin Xu: "It's just that I don't know what General Fan's plans are in the future?" General Fan's ability, Cao can admire it tightly, why don't we wave Chang'an together and save the Son of Heaven from fire and water? ”

"Fan Chou was not righteous before, but fortunately Qin Xuzhou Zhong Ming persuaded him, knowing that the previous sins were difficult to eliminate, and under the remorse, he had already lost his fighting spirit, and he didn't want to kill again, but he was willing to be a general in the Qin Envoy's Mansion, and this remnant of his life was enough!" Fan Chou was not confused by Cao Cao's sweet words, and looked disheartened. But it is in stark contrast to the three thousand well-armored and elite troops behind him. It's almost like hanging a banner on his forehead that reads, "I'm talking nonsense with my eyes open."

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and Cao respects General Fan's decision!" Since Cao Cao had already made up his mind, he wanted to reach Yuan Shao, who would be able to deal with it in a few hours, by pushing someone up to Qin, and he did not continue to continue this great cause of digging the foot of the wall in person, he looked at Fan Chou's trilogy with envy on his face, and said to Qin Xu: "Zhong Ming is a good means, and Cao's vision is really not bad!" But I don't know what kind of gift Zhong Ming left for Yan Liang in Tongguan? Can you tell us? ”

"Actually, it's nothing!" Yuan Shao, who had just learned from Yan Liang that he had taken advantage of himself, could come here in the afternoon. Although Qin Xu had Fan Chou's contribution and the three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command to rely on at this time, he still needed to borrow Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shao on the big side, and he didn't know if Cao Ang would tell Cao Cao about his plan at Linzi. Qin Xu said with a smile: "It's just some Xiliang auxiliary troops who still have illusions about Li Guo's two thieves and don't want to return to righteousness with General Fan Chou." However, when Qin and General Fan went out of the customs, they had already ordered their troops to collect the long and short blades of these people, how to say that Yuan was originally powerful. You have to leave him some soup to drink, don't you? Qin simply gave it all to General Yan. ”

"Murder with a knife? Zhong Ming is still using tricks to be vicious! Presumably, this time Yan Liang was so anxious to grab the credit. This is a lot of suffering. Seeing Cao Ang's puzzled look, even his own generals Cao Ren, Xiahou and others didn't understand what Qin Xu said, Cao Cao shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Cao Ang and the others: "Zhong Ming only said that he collected the rest of the Xiliang auxiliary soldiers who were unwilling to surrender The long soldiers broke their blades, and presumably blocked Cao Mouyue's sharp weapons, bows and arrows and other things, so he should have accidentally forgotten and calculated, right?" ”

"Oops! General Cao said this, Qin only remembered, it seems that this is really the case! Running back and forth these days. didn't have a good rest for a day, which made Qin forget even such an important thing. General Fan, how many arrows are still in stock in Tongguan? Seeing Cao Cao's words, the corners of Qin Xu's mouth twitched slightly, pretending to remember it suddenly, and he couldn't fake it anymore and slapped his thigh on the horse, and said anxiously: "Those auxiliaries have been fighting against General Cao for more than a month, and when he left the customs, Qin Xu only cared about leaving as soon as possible, but he forgot to collect the inventory of arrows that were placed on the city wall, which was really a mistake!" ”

"Ah...... Hiss ......"

As if in order to confirm Qin Xu and Cao Cao's witty words of openly and secretly calculating Yan Liang, Yan Liang and the others rushed to the Tongguan Pass before they got much, but they were just a little crowded when they entered the customs, but when they just entered the urn city outside Tongguan, which can only accommodate 3,000 people, they saw those Xiliang auxiliary troops who had suddenly surrendered to Fan Chou, but ignored them and expressed incomprehension, seeing such a mighty and high-spirited, It seems that it is because of their merits that they have won Tongguan and look a little arrogant Yan Liang's cavalry crowded into the pass, and I don't know who is the leader, anyway, now Tongguan has been lost, and he and other "abandoned" people have no idea of life and death, so he simply picked up the bow and crossbow that had not been confiscated, turned the crosshair, and with anger and resentment, splashed water as if he had to lean towards the crowded Yan Liang cavalry in the urn city. Suddenly, the sound of screams and neighing of horses resounded in the sky.

"Lord, Qin envoy monarch...... This ...... "Because I saw Qin Xu being embarrassed by Yan Liang before, and Xu Huang, who dared to come to the rescue with only dozens of horses, heard the terrible screams in Tongguan at this moment, and a little unbearable color flashed in his resolute eyes, as if he wanted to say something to Cao Cao and Qin Xu, but he couldn't say anything.

"Wisdom to support the war, force to stop the war! Sometimes it's a last resort! Qin Xu understood what Xu Huang wanted to say, frowned and looked back at Tongguan, which was screaming unabated, and the position of the flag of the Xiliang Army that had been pulled out on the city wall of the pass, and suddenly felt that he had a deeper understanding of his father-in-law Lu Wenhou's theory of truce by war and killing to stop killing, and said to Xu Huang: "If this killing can make the cavalry led by Yan Liang, who has already been robbed of merit, calm down, and make less stumbling blocks for the rescue of the Son of Heaven. Qin didn't mind that he would have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to kill the old Yuan family's sharpness. Gongming has been in battle for a long time, and he should know better than Qin, shooting like this intensively, the bow and arrow are actually difficult and lethal, and the fatal damage caused is really limited. And for the Xiliang auxiliary garrison that survived on Tongguan, Yan Liang still had to take those people to show credit to Yuan Shao. There is no need to worry about life, and the worst thing is just to endure some hardships. ”

"Qin Envoy Jun is really benevolent and righteous, but he has a lot of heart!" Xu Huang was just dedicated to Qin Xu so easily because Tongguan was so easy. On the contrary, Qin Xu used Xu Huang's former "comrades" as bait, and made the plan calculate Yuan Shao and Yan Liang, who were already trying to misbehave, and this time after listening to Qin Xu's explanation, Xu Huang also showed an embarrassed smile, and said to Qin Xu with a fist.

Cao Cao had intended to plagiarize Yan Liang's back road, so that Yan Liang did not dare to be too presumptuous in his plan to seize Tongguan, and ran aground for Qin Xu's strategy. But seeing that Yan Liang was given by Qin Xu's gift, the screams and screams in Tongguan were endless, but he also felt quite relieved, plus there was Qin Xu's "countermeasures" against Yuan Shao that Cao Ang had relayed before. Although Cao Cao's jealousy of Qin Xu deepened a lot, but aside from other factors, Qingzhou is still an ally with Yanzhou now, and his eldest son Cao Ang has made friends like Qin Xu. In fact, there is still more to be happy. and because of what Qin Xu said just now to "soothe" Xu Huang. Cao Cao simply pretended not to know, and did not pay attention to how Yan Liang cleaned up the mess in Tongguan, nor was he busy attacking Chang'an at this time, so he generously allocated the camp in the military camp that was originally used to collect and recruit troops to Qin Xu, Fan Chou and others, as well as three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry troops to station.

The so-called no profit is not early, and sure enough, it is not wrong at all. Don't look at Yuan Shao, no matter what he does, he is a little hesitant at first, and he always makes a decision after several arguments with his advisers; To say that it sounds good, Lao Yuan is called good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, and if it is not good, it means that he is a little grinding and chirping, and he is not very happy. However, in the treatment, it is very likely that the old Yuan family, which was wiped out by Dong Zhuo at the beginning, will regain its glory. For example, Yingli returned the Son of Heaven to the old capital, but then used the excuse that Luoyang was dilapidated and not suitable for the Han capital again. Yuan Shao was still more active in taking the Son of Heaven to Yecheng, the base camp of Jizhou, and doing the thing of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. At least under the assurances of Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, to rob the credit of his old friend Cao Cao, and the idea of picking Lao Cao's peaches, still made Yuan Shao's march speed much faster than expected. As soon as Qin Xu and the others were settled, they received the news that Yuan Shao's army had come here and had taken over Tongguan with a part.

What should come will come! Qin Xu was actually reluctant to see Yuan Shao. It's not that I'm afraid of anything, it's just a human nature. For anyone else, he used the Black Mountain Thief as a shield before, and he also lost Yuan Shao's most favored youngest son Yuan Shang to the Black Mountain Thief Kou and suffered for several months before he was able to get out of the sea of suffering. It can almost be said that they have completely ransacked people's nests, not to mention the four major henchmen under Yuan Shao's command, three of whom are still selling "coolies" in Jinan until now. Qin is most afraid that he will laugh inadvertently after seeing Yuan Shao, which is more likely to cause unnecessary "interstate disputes", especially now that this is out of the historical trajectory and a critical time to rescue the Son of Heaven several years in advance, it is best to find something wrong, Qin is actually very low-key.

"General Qin, my lord, General Cao, please go and meet with Duke Yuan of Jizhou!" Just as Qin Xu learned the news that Yuan Shao was here, he was thinking of a way not to see Yuan Shao for the best, and the worst could be delayed for a while, but Cao Cao seemed to be afraid that the world could not be chaotic, and he wanted to push someone Qin, who was not yet double ten years old, to the front of the stage, and he actually sent a close attendant to urge. If he didn't know Cao Cao's nature, maybe Qin Xu would really be a little grateful to Lao Cao for lifting himself up like this.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, Qin Xu simply straightened his clothes, with the mentality of playing soy sauce, leaving Lao Xu, Kong Bin and a group of guards to watch the house, helping Fan Chou to appease the emotions of the Xiliang Iron Rider who was about to be brought back to Qingzhou, and followed Cao Cao, the inner servant, to Cao Cao's Chinese army tent with Sima Mao, as soon as he entered the account, he didn't have time to look at Yuan Shao, who had only heard his name, but had not looked closely, Yan Liang's almost black face comparable to the bottom of the pot came over first, and said coldly: "Swallow the fat yourself, and leave the bones to others." , General Qin, it's really a good calculation! ”

"Huh? What does General Yan mean by this? Could it be that the bones that were snatched were not pleasantly gnawed? ......" (To be continued......)
