The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 40 The sincere gentleman Qin Yilu

Qin Shou led his soldiers and horses to the resettlement site. At this time, there were no refugees in the settlement site. Du Ran and five soldiers were packing their bags and preparing to go west. When they saw Qin Shou leading the army, they immediately put down their belongings and went towards them. .

"Qin Shou has met Mr. Sir. He has worked hard during this time."

Unexpectedly, Qin Shou jumped off his horse and saluted the other party.

"Don't take it seriously. It's all what I should do."

Du Ran felt excited and returned the salute. He didn't expect that Qin Shou, a brave cavalry general, would be so polite. Compared with those Xiliang generals, it was a world of difference.

"Sir, Yuan Shao and others have entered Luoyang. I'm afraid someone will be chasing them soon. Let's get out of here quickly!"

Qin Shou invited the other party to mount his horse and leave.

"General, if you just lead thousands of troops to cut off the rear, aren't you afraid that the other party will catch up?"

Du Ran asked curiously.

"Sir, since Yuan Shao has occupied Luoyang, his mission is over. Next, it is time to share the fruits of victory. I am afraid no one will catch up except Cao Mengde."

Qin Shou laughed.

Du Ran looked stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect this kind of answer.

"Sir, do you think the Kwantung Allied Forces are really loyal and patriotic? No, they are just trying to make a name for themselves and recruit troops openly. Therefore, they think that occupying Luoyang and driving away the prime minister is equal to victory. How can they waste money? The troops are ready to attack Hangu Pass!"

"It is simply wishful thinking to expect these people to help the Han Dynasty."

"I just pity the people of the world. From now on, there will be many disasters."

Qin Shou let out a sigh, and the three kingdoms began to fight for a hundred years.

"Lord, there are pursuers coming from behind, under the banner of Cao Cao." A sentry rushed over and reported loudly.

"Look, among the major princes, only Cao Cao will catch up." Qin Shou held his horse between his legs and the army marched slowly, not taking Cao Cao seriously.

"General, the pursuers are coming, why aren't you worried at all?" Du Ran exclaimed.

"Cao Cao would not dare to attack me. Besides, do you think the Prime Minister has no arrangements ahead? No, the Prime Minister has been on the battlefield for a long time, how could he not have arrangements!"

Qin Shou shook his head.

Cao Cao from behind did catch up, but when he knew that it was Qin Shou who was behind him, he suddenly felt hesitant in his heart. He knew that Qin Shou's combat prowess was not inferior to Lu Bu's at all. Lu Bu could charge into battle with thousands of troops, and Qin Shou could naturally attack him.

"Lord, Qin Shou only has a few thousand people. Could it be that he, like Lu Bu, would dare to attack us?" Cao Hong didn't believe it.

"Qin Shou is far more brave than Lu Bu. Lu Bu dared to charge into the battle with three thousand cavalry. Why didn't Qin Shou dare not?" Cao Cao hesitated in his heart. When many princes did not dare to attack, Cao Cao dared to lead his troops in pursuit. Apart from loyalty in his heart, he naturally had other thoughts.

But now he was facing Qin Shou, and Cao Cao actually hesitated.

"Let's go see Qin Shou."

In the end, Cao Cao decided to go see Qin Shou. There was not a single fight, and he just fled back to Luoyang in embarrassment. He would only make the heroes laugh at him, and his escape would be in vain.

Regardless of victory or defeat, you have to go through it. Even if the whole army is wiped out, it is still a good deal.

Who is Cao Cao? If there is no benefit, why would he take risks? Soon, Cao Cao saw Qin Shou. At this time, Qin Shou was surrounded by only a few hundred cavalry. Even when he saw Cao Cao coming, there was no worry or fear on his face.

Cao Cao, on the other hand, looked around cautiously, fearing that an enemy might come out from behind.

"Mengde, long time no see."

Qin Shou said with a smile: "I guess among the heroes of Guandong, only Meng De will come to see me off."

"Yi Lu, I didn't expect that a single official would now command thousands of troops." Cao Cao's face was complicated. He thought of the scene under the city gate. If he had known that Qin Shou was so brave, he would definitely invite Fang Dong. If you leave, join the coalition camp.

"Because of the appreciation of the Prime Minister, I am what I am today. I am a very affectionate person, and I naturally want to repay the favor of the Prime Minister. Meng De, you have to be kind!"

Qin Shou suddenly sighed.

Cao Cao's face turned gloomy after hearing this, feeling like he had been slapped in the face.

"Mengde, you'd better retreat!" Qin Shou shook his head and said: "The prime minister has already entered the pass, and we have been waiting at Hulao Pass for too long. I can't bear to kill you, so you'd better retreat."

After hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes sparkled, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Yilu is brave and far more powerful than Lu Bu. At this time, letting someone leave seems not like Yilu! Isn't Yilu afraid of Dong Zhuo's blame?"

"Mengde, Qin is an honest man and treats others with sincerity. The prime minister has set up an ambush ahead, and Qin came here to inform him." Qin Shou sighed: "It's better not to chase Mengde."

After saying that, he didn't care about the other party, turned around and left with the bodyguard behind him, without taking it to heart at all.

"Lord." Cao Hong looked at the other party's leaving figure with a trace of hesitation on his face.

"Qin Shou looks like a reckless man on the surface, but in fact he has a lot of troubles in his chest."

Cao Cao stroked his beard, thought for a while, and finally said: "He said there was an ambush ahead. In fact, he just didn't want me to pursue him. Rumor has it that he set up a resettlement point ten miles away to resettle the victims. The people walked slowly. If nothing else happened, , his soldiers and horses are arranging the people in front, and the soldiers and horses are scattered, so he will try every means to stop me."

Cao Cao looked at Qin Shou's figure in the distance with disdain. He thought Qin Shou had deliberately deceived him.

"What my lord said is true. He only has a few knights around him, and he wants to intimidate us. It's really a joke." Cao Hong laughed.

"Catch up and hunt Qin Shou." Cao Cao finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He believed that Qin Shou did this on purpose, mainly because he no longer had enough troops around him.

In an instant, he realized that this was the best opportunity, a good opportunity to surround and kill Qin Shou. So what if the opponent was brave? No big deal, we can just go together.

This is the experience summed up in Hulao Pass. Strong generals like Qin Shou and Lu Bu can only deal with each other by joining forces.

The army galloped forward, and Cao Cao personally charged forward.

Suddenly, Cao Cao stopped his horse and looked at everything in front of him with horrified eyes.

Countless Xiliang soldiers and horses came from all directions and surrounded the army.

"Meng De, I am the most sincere person, how could I deceive you? General Xu Rong has been waiting here for a long time on the orders of the Prime Minister."

Qin Shou pointed to the middle-aged general beside him and said with great regret.

After hearing this, Cao Cao looked at Qin Shou with angry eyes.
