Lu's relatives

Chapter 270 Cao Cao was scruples and decided to attack Chang'an

If life is only as it was at first sight, this sentence is not only applicable to lovers.For example, Cao Cao vs. Qin Xu.

Cao Cao has always admired capable people very much, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he loves talents like his life.After seeing Qin Xu's "capability", especially after suffering a few big losses, he spent a lot of thought to recruit him.But seeing Qin Xu being secretly regarded as the number one enemy by his family step by step, Lu Bu, who had to temporarily pretend to be a snake, was pushed to the position of governor of Xuzhou. He also felt a little bit strange about this Qin who was only as old as his own son but had already become a "colleague" of the big man.

After the chaos in Chang'an was caused by Ma Teng and Han Sui, Cao Cao, who wanted to achieve great things, was trapped in Tongguan and could not make an inch of progress. He attacked day after day for more than a month but failed to achieve success. He also attracted his old friend Yuan Shao to join in. Competing with oneself and picking the peaches one deserves is already very depressing.But at this moment, someone from Qin, whom Cao Cao loved and hated so much, came, and in the name of escorting his eldest son Cao Ang in a righteous way, he just used this "justified reason" to "break his promise" that he swore that Qingzhou would not The promise of meddling, to intervene in this matter, even though only brought twenty people here.

In fact, Cao Cao didn't take Qin Xu's arrival seriously at first, but only wanted to use the strategy of flattery to attract Yuan Shao's "firepower" to the Qingzhou forces behind Qin Xu, which was enough as a shield.Anyway, tens of thousands of people can't take down Tongguan. Could it be possible that Qin can take it as soon as the [-] or so people arrive?immortal?Perhaps with the addition of Yuan Shao's so-called [-] soldiers and horses, it should be possible to achieve full success with a large number of people, right?Although Yuan Shao's plan is very big, there must be a dispute between himself and Yuan Shao, but that is also established after the emperor is saved.In particular, the eldest son Cao Ang, who had been placed with great expectations, brought a "secret weapon" that could counter Yuan Shao. Cao Cao felt that he was confident and victory was in sight.

But God just made a big joke with Cao Cao.Just when Yan Liang, Yuan Shao's vanguard general, put his provocative eyes on Qin Xu, whose strength was almost infinitely close to zero compared to several players in the field at that time, and wanted to use Qin Xu to deter Cao Cao, Cao Cao chose silenced.It's just to see how Qin Xu, who has been favored by himself and who has reversed the market several times in succession, will respond to the almost murderous thing Yan Liang said, and how he will react. It's just for fun.Unexpectedly, Qin Xu's actions really made Cao Cao unable to laugh.Not only did he break through Tongguan with a single horse, he was forced to continue to increase his salary in the established strategy of winning and killing, and he also got a Xiliang fierce general and an elite trilogy of Xiliang iron cavalry who were born in Xiliang, making a lot of money Needless to say, now he has face, but Cao Cao, the biggest pusher behind Qin Xu's fame, has almost been reduced to the level of a negative teaching material.

Seeing Qin Xu confront Yuan Shao head-on because of Yan Liang's unprovoked provocation, Cao Cao was overjoyed.No matter whether Yuan Shao, who was a bad comer, suppressed Qin Xu, or Qin Xu, who benefited a lot, forced Yuan Shao into a hurry, in fact, in the final analysis, the most powerful person is his old Cao.Therefore, just when Yuan Shao intended to "provoke" Qin Xu but was cornered by Qin Xu's words and wanted to kill someone, Cao Cao originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the "tiger" fight, but unexpectedly, he touched the sleeve by accident. Cao Ang brought back the silk letter that stated Yuan Shu's ambitions, and after seeing Qin Xu's confident and calm face, he had other plans.

This kind of thing, the effect of Qin Xu and his old Cao is different.In the final analysis, although Qin Xu and Lu Bujun had provoked Yuan Shao several times and took advantage of it, the two families did not have deep-seated hatred. Lu Bu's positions as Qingzhou Mu and Zuo General were still "given away" by Yuan Shao to the imperial court. Yes, and he turned a corner and said that Lu Bu can still be regarded as the great benefactor who avenged the old Yuan's family.As long as Qin Xu reveals that Qingzhou and Xuzhou have the intention to deal with Yuan Shao together with Yuan Shao after clarifying the matter, Yuan Shao will regard it as a rebellion of the Yuan family, the biggest enemy of the family, who has the mind and ability to hold the artifact of the country and wants to plot "he Yuan Shu, who wants to do big things, cherishes his life and dies for small profits, Yuan Shu thinks about the overall situation, and Xuzhou borders Yuan Shu's territory, but is far away from Yuan Shao's camp by more than thousands of miles. , and the temptation of the fetish, it is not impossible for Cao Cao to know his old friend, forget the past in person, and reconcile with Qingzhou, it is not impossible for Lao Yuan to do it.

But in this way, Cao Cao's Yanzhou will suffer in the end.This time to rescue the emperor, unless Cao Cao really came here wholeheartedly to save the emperor, without the slightest selfishness involved, then he would definitely agree with Yuan Shao, who wanted to attack peaches by force, and create a suspicion.At that time, only facing Qingzhou would have already made Cao Cao attach great importance to it. If you add Yuan Shao in Jizhou who knows him very well, Qin Xu in Xuzhou who has been defeated by him many times, and the three Luoyang soldiers who held a grudge against him Yuan Shu, one of the victims, and his old Cao's Yanzhou, will really face the situation of attack from all sides.This is definitely not something Cao, who is highly accomplished in military affairs, would want to happen.

Therefore, when seeing Yuan Shao's intention to release the water, which gave Yan Liang a chance to kill Qin Xu by mistake, Cao Cao, who was still hesitating, had to use the guise of righteousness to persuade the two of them to relieve Qin Xu's death siege.Even in order to save Qin Xu, Lao Cao even exposed his rather secretive personal guards. He had to pinch his nose and say that these swordsmen were soldiers from Xiliang, in order to eliminate Yuan Shao's misunderstanding, and also to stand for his own. Advertise your charisma.Otherwise, how could he explain that he dared to meet Yuan Shao and Qin Xu alone in the military tent without any guards?Regardless of whether or not he succeeded in rescuing the emperor and moving him to Xu County in the end for this "business", he, Mr. Cao, had already lost a lot of capital.

And Yuan Shao, who has been kept in the dark and didn't understand why his friends "valued" this kid in front of him so much, after being persuaded by Cao Cao in the name of righteousness, actually admired himself very much, thinking that this is the basis for great things.Just imagine, anyone who is bullied into being like him by an arrogant kid who is not the same as him in terms of family background, fame, status, strength, and even age, can still put the big things first, and calmly discuss the whole morning. In terms of military affairs, this endurance alone, or the magnanimity displayed by calling it righteousness, who can compare to Yuan Benchu ​​except the ancient sages?Although someone from Zuoqin Qin is called Xuzhou governor, he is actually a small character, and the current situation is indeed not suitable for an immediate war with Qingzhou, at least he has to wait until he successfully picks up the emperor?Seeing that Cao Cao gave him a big step, Yuan Shao was also happy to borrow the slope to go down the donkey, and after the big event was settled, he would make plans for the funeral.It's just that although Yuan Shao was quite angry before, he was also a good soldier. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to dominate Hebei now. Really, he couldn't help but frowned and expressed his concerns.

Even though Cao Cao had been dominating Yuan Shao since they met each other when they were young, Yuan Shao was unwilling to admit that Cao Cao was stronger than him.Cao Cao, who couldn't even take down Tongguan, was so confident in attacking Chang'an, a city with high walls and thick walls, sufficient soldiers and food, and no internal chaos.

"The original worry was only about the 20 soldiers in the city! But in Cao Cao's eyes, although the 20 soldiers were numerous, they treated them as if they were nothing!" Xu also became honest, and became a good baby for the first time. He didn't say a word, and he didn't have the domineering appearance before. Cao Cao couldn't guess what Qin was thinking. Seeing Yuan Shao asked, he laughed. He said: "I also know at the beginning that in the west of Chang'an, the Ma Teng and Han Sui families have been stalemate with the two thieves for nearly two months without success. People are originally allies, so naturally they deeply understand that the soldiers in the two armies are a mixture of Qiang and Han. If food is sufficient, they can fight to the death with the Xiliang iron cavalry for two months without retreating. When the food is exhausted, or even when the food is scarce, there will be chaos, if we are the people in Chang'an who have a deep understanding of the military habits of the two, what will we do?"

"Naturally, we will take advantage of the situation to go out of the city to destroy them. It goes without saying! But so what? The two thieves, Li Jue and Guo Si, will never use all the soldiers in the city to chase and kill those two, leaving an empty city for us to wait for." Right?" After Cao Cao said that, Yuan Shao immediately followed up, not understanding what is the use of Cao Cao's talk at this time, could it be that Li Jue and Guo Si are both fools?

"If Ma Teng and Han Sui knew that they were at the end of the crossbow and could not penetrate Lu Jin, they would still disregard the extremely low morale and forcibly attack the city?" Now that he had torn his face with Yuan Shao, Qin Xu's words naturally wouldn't make Yuan Shao feel as warm as a spring breeze. Seeing Yuan Shao finished speaking, Qin Xu sneered and said.

"Qin Xuzhou was not old enough to be given up by Tao Gongzu. Presumably he has never led a soldier alone? Lu Fengxian is a hero, but he is also at ease. Well, today I will teach you that when you lead the army, if the food is gone All in all, if you don't retreat quickly, it will be very easy to shake the army's morale and cause a camp roar. When the time comes, let alone attacking the city, if you can run [-]% in the field without being defeated, you will already be the elite of the elite! On that day, go to the camp first...huh!" Yuan Shao originally wanted to be a good teacher, and took this opportunity to sarcastically sarcastically sarcasm someone from Qin. He said it smoothly, until he saw the strange faces of Qin Xu and Cao Cao, he suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly stopped talking, but the embarrassment and anger on his face could not be suppressed.But he forgot that most of the [-] soldiers who were the first to enter the camp, whom he praised and took pride in, surrendered to the kid in front of him!

"At the beginning, I had good intentions, and Zhong Ming must have known it very well! But at the beginning, what Zhong Ming said was also reasonable!" Seeing that Yuan Shao was thrown into a gaffe by his own blurted words, Cao Cao hurriedly took the topic away, and in the Before Yuan Shao opened his mouth, he said: "As I said before, I only had to wait for a few hours to break Tongguan. If someone escaped and reported back to Chang'an by chance, the two thieves Li Jue and Guo Si would definitely defend us. The defense of the city gate in the direction we came from. After all, you and I have an army of more than [-], and those two thieves are also good soldiers. You must know the reason why you kill one thousand and lose eight hundred. You will never give up your great advantage and abandon the city with me. When we wait for the field battle, we will definitely gather soldiers to guard against our army, so we will have a chance!"

"Meng De, what does this have to do with whether Ma Teng and Han Sui will attack Chang'an again? Could it be that you want to contact them and let us attack Chang'an from both sides? But it's hard to say whether they still have the strength to fight again at this time." Yuan Shao seemed to have understood something. Seeing Qin Xu nodding his head non-stop, and Qin Xu had seen him as a "joke" just now, Yuan Shao was much more rigorous this time. After thinking for a while, a few words suddenly flashed across his face. He was very happy, and said: "Could it be that Mengde meant that we left behind suspicious soldiers to attract the attention of the two thieves, but in fact, we secretly took advantage of the fact that the news of Tongguan's fall had not spread, and quietly turned to the direction of the west gate of Chang'an, under the pretense that it had already been captured by Ximen. When Ma Teng and Han Sui, who the defenders don't pay much attention to, attack him unprepared?!"

"I really know Cao's intention at the beginning!" Cao Cao's mouth curled up slightly, looking at Qin Xu's frowning face, he looked at Yuan Shao and said with a smile: "The one who is difficult to decide now is the popularity of this suspicious general. To have an identity that can attract the attention of the two thieves, but also to have the ability to be resourceful and flexible, it is so difficult!"

Qin Xu: "...!"

　Thanks to "Yuyu" for the reward!
