The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 71 Yang Xiu
In the camp outside Hongnong City, Qin Shou looked at the city in front of him with a gloomy expression.

Zhang Ji actually led the army to leave, which was beyond Qin Shou's expectation. ,

"Lord, if you want to catch up, I believe the enemy won't be able to escape far." Xia Houlan was a little annoyed.

Qin Shou thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, just run away. Even if such people stay with you, I'm afraid they won't really follow you. If they leave, they will leave."

Zhang Ji's troops can certainly increase his strength if they stay, but it doesn't matter if they leave. Leaving naturally has the effect of leaving.

"Are you Yang Xiu?"

Compared with Zhang Ji, what interests Qin Shou is the young man in front of him. His name is Yang Xiu.

"Student Yang Xiu has met the governor."

Yang Xiu also looked at the man in front of him curiously. Unlike Dong Zhuo's other generals, General Xiliang had an evil aura about him and looked very tough.

But the Qin Shou in front of him looked gentle and elegant. If he hadn't been holding a sword and wearing armor, he would have been considered a scholar.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Qin Shou asked in surprise.

"The students can't find a reason for the governor to kill the students." Yang Xiu said with a smile, as if he didn't worry about his life safety at all.

"Just because your father and Wang Yun conspired to use a beauty trap to drive a wedge between the prime minister and Lu Bu, is this crime enough?" Qin Shou said slowly.

Yang Xiu changed his color slightly, but quickly said: "The student is not a member of the imperial court and does not know what the governor is talking about."

"Moreover, if the Prime Minister is here, will the Governor come to Hongnong again?"

The implication is that Dong Zhuo's death is also good for Qin Shou. With Dong Zhuo around, Qin Shou would not be able to annex Sizhou's troops. He also pointed out Qin Shou's ambitions.

"Yang Xiu, you are very smart, but I, Commander, you will die from your sharp mouth one day."

Qin Shou shook his head. Didn't Yang Xiu in history die because of his broken mouth?

"The Governor has a broad mind, how can he kill me? Keeping students must be of some use." Yang Xiu was still smiling, and it was obvious that he did not take Qin Shou's words to heart.

Qin Shou didn't say much, but drove his horse into Hongnong City, which was the Yang family's territory. Most of the farmland and shops are owned by the Hongnong Yang family.

Qin Shou had no way to change this.

"General, this Zhang Ji is also a powerful character. He got married yesterday and took his troops into Chang'an that night, even leaving his new wife behind."

Yang Xiu followed behind and kept chattering, looking familiar. He was really not afraid of Qin Shou getting angry.

"You got married yesterday? You must have taken a concubine!"

Qin Shou was stunned. If nothing else happened, the woman who married Zhang Ji this time was the famous Zou family in history. The woman who caused the death of Prime Minister Cao's son, nephew and general Dian Wei.

It can be said that she was the most powerful woman in the Three Kingdoms period.

"Exactly. Zhang Jizheng's wife died early. This time he found a beautiful woman in Hongnong, surnamed Zou, and took her as his concubine." Yang Xiu said quickly: "Maybe he learned that the general was coming, so he hurriedly He left because he was afraid that the general would take away his military power." Yang Xiu explained.

"The situation in Chang'an must also be tense! Zhang Ji is with me and cannot participate in the fight for Chang'an, but if he goes to Chang'an, he might get more benefits." Qin Shou sneered.

"Even if he is gone, there is nothing we can do. How can such a rebellious minister and traitor make great achievements?" Yang Xiu said disdainfully.

"Dezu thinks Li Jue, Guo Si and others will not succeed?" Qin Shou suddenly stopped and looked at Yang Xiu with a half-smile.

"As long as the general doesn't take action, who in the world can be Lu Bu's opponent?" Yang Xiu said confidently.

On the one hand, he was praising Qin Shou, and on the other hand, he was explaining the strength of Chang'an and others. In fact, this kind of confidence is not only felt by Yang Xiu, but also by everyone in Chang'an.

The Xiliang army that lost Dong Zhuo was like a piece of loose sand. In front of the fierce general Lu Bu, there was no chance of resistance at all, so Yang Xiu had confidence in front of Qin Shou.

Of course, he also knew that all this would only have happened if Qin Shou had not taken action. Otherwise, tens of thousands of cavalry troops, led by Qin Shou, the most powerful general in the world, would have entered Guanzhong. , the situation in Guanzhong will change immediately.

The Xiliang rebels will definitely win the final victory.

It is a pity that neither Yang Xiu nor Wang Yun underestimated the bravery of Li Jue, Guo Si and others, as well as the survival thoughts of the Xiliang soldiers, and also underestimated Lu Bu.

Qin Shou laughed loudly after hearing this.

"The general seems to be more optimistic about Li Jue, Guo Si and others?" Yang Xiu was so smart. From Qin Shou's laughter, he realized that the other party was not optimistic about him and others, and he was inevitably a little dissatisfied.

"Lu Bu is so brave, but how many troops does he have in his hands? How many troops do Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others have in their hands? Wang Yun only has a mouth, he is just a villain."

"When Prime Minister Dong was here, he praised him and was a follower of others. But after Prime Minister Dong dies, he will become the second Prime Minister Dong. Do you expect such a person to revive the Han Dynasty?"

Qin Shou shook his head and suddenly said: "Dezu, how about you and I make a bet? If you win, I will enter the pass and pacify the remnants of Prime Minister Dong. If I win, you will serve for me, and I will also enter the pass. Put down the remaining troops of Prime Minister Dong."

Qin Shou knew that Yang Xiu was waiting for him here. In fact, he was preparing to take refuge with him. But now after making a bet, if he came to take refuge with him again, the effect would be different.

"It seems that no matter whether the students lose or win, it is the students who take advantage." Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment and then chuckled.

"No, the effect is different and the process is also different."

Qin Shou shook his head and said: "If you win, our army can enter the pass at any time. If I win, your Majesty will ask the emperor to issue an edict to summon me to the pass. I will decide when to enter the pass."

"General, as a minister of the Han Dynasty, shouldn't he serve the Han Dynasty at this time?" Yang Xiu changed his color after hearing this.

"Yang Xiu, you shouldn't say this to me, you should tell your father. The late emperor passed the throne to the eldest prince, and the eldest prince was deposed by Dong Zhuo. Why didn't your father come out to object at that time?"

Yang Xiu, who was very eloquent, didn't know what to say at this time. Could he tell Qin Shou that at that time, everyone was afraid of death and no one dared to resist Dong Zhuo?

It was so embarrassing.

"So! Dezu, you and I both know some things."

"You should also think about the Hongnong Yang family now. The future of the Hongnong Yang family is in your hands."

Qin Shou patted Yang Xiu on the shoulder and said.
