Lu's relatives

Chapter 45 Black Mountain Raiders

In June of the third year of the Chuping period of the Han Dynasty, there were rumors all over the world that the bandits from Heishan attacked Yecheng, plundered grain, grass and horses, returned with great gains, and captured Yuan Shao's youngest son, Yuan Shang.

What's wrong with Lao Yuan?
Three years ago, Yuan Shao, the high-spirited leader who commanded the eighteenth princes Qin Wang, captured Jizhou from his ally Han Fu, and defeated Gongsun Zan, the white horse general who was at odds with Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou. The soldiers will use their lives with their hearts, spying on the state to control Hanoi, and it is quite possible to dominate Jizhou to frighten Hebei, and even once gave birth to a generation of heroes who want to establish a new emperor. up.

Black bandit!As an unbearable thorn in Yuan Shao's heart, he immediately attracted the attention of the princes from all walks of life.

As Yuan Shao's counselor, Feng Ji naturally knew his lord's difficulties at this time. If he couldn't handle the problem of the Black Mountain bandits, the Yuan family might be disappointed with Yuan Shao and turn to support Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao's power, which took a lot of effort to become a climate, fell apart, and even those Hebei aristocratic families who suffered a lot in the Yecheng Rebellion would probably feel great dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao.

So this time in Hanoi, although Feng Ji was a little dissatisfied with being judged and calculated, he really made great efforts to persuade Xu You to complete the task assigned by Yuan Shao no matter what.

"Yuan Tu, you are going to push you into the fire pit!" In the secret room of Xu You's residence, after listening to Yuan Shao's secret orders delivered by Feng Ji, Xu You wished to see the guy in front of him who was quite pleasing to the eye. Unscrew the head off.

"Brother Ziyuan, why did you say that!" Feng Ji pretended to be puzzled, with an expression of disbelief, and said, "Can't brother Ziyuan see the cleverness of this strategy?"

"Smart plan? Huh!" Xu You's eyes flashed sharply, and he sneered, "The Black Mountain bandits have plagued Hebei for many years, and the court has been suppressing them endlessly, but they have grown stronger, yet it's so easy for you to say? Besides, if this happens , it is you two who contributed to the plan, if it fails, what will happen to my Xu You's life?"

"Brother Ziyuan's words are heartbreaking!" Feng Ji was not moved by the coldness of Xu You's words, and smiled lightly: "Although brother Ziyuan used a clever trick, he used Lu Bu's hand to hold the Black Mountain Bandit back for three days. , but Ye City has still been breached, I think the character of the lord, brother Ziyuan is much clearer to the younger brother, right?"

"This..." Xu You hesitated for a moment. As Yuan Shao's best buddies, he cherished Yuan Shao's temperament when he did great things and neglected righteousness when he saw small profits. He is extremely generous, but now that the chaos in Yecheng is endangering Yuan Shao's roots, he urgently needs a scapegoat to protect him, and Xu You is the first to bear the brunt. With Yuan Shao's temperament...

When Xu You was asked this rhetorical question by Feng Ji, his mind fell into a cold sweat, and he couldn't find a rebuttal for a while.

"Brother Ziyuan, you don't need to act like this!" Seeing Xu You's absent-mindedness, Feng Ji felt relieved, and comforted him, "Brother Ziyuan and I are brothers from the same township, so naturally we won't just care about pleasing our lord like Shen Zhengnan. And brother Yuan who abandoned his son didn't care, this matter is actually easy!"

"What can Yuantu teach me?" Xu You seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said, "The matter of Montenegro is easy to discuss. If you can pass this test for my brother, I will definitely not forget Yuantu's great kindness!"

"I wonder if Lu Bu agrees to marry the lord?" Seeing Xu You's attitude, Feng Ji didn't rush to urge Xu You to agree. He smiled and patted Xu You's hand that was holding his arm in a hurry, and asked.

"Ah!" Xu You also consciously lost his composure, smiled wryly, and sighed: "Yuan Tu didn't know something, but Lu Buduan didn't know how to flatter him! Originally, under the help of Zhang Yang, Lu Bu was already interested, and he was quite fond of my brother. You are polite; but for some reason, after only one day, you suddenly seem to have changed your personality. Not only did you speak perfunctorily about the matter, but you actually made... a child will humiliate your brother! Really hateful pole!"

"Huh? Brother Ziyuan said you are a child, but that Qin Xu?" Feng Ji smiled lightly.

"Yuan Tu actually knew?" Feng Ji's words revealed that he already knew the "humiliation" that Xu You had suffered in Hanoi. Xu You was taken aback and asked, "Yuan Tu just arrived in Hanoi, how come?"

"Brother Ziyuan, you are so confused!" Feng Ji said to Xu You with a look of compassion, "It seems that if the little brother hadn't come here, I'm afraid that brother Ziyuan would die soon!"

"Why did Yuan Tu say that?" Xu You was surprised when he heard Feng Ji's sudden words.

"Brother Ziyuan, do you really think that Lv Bu holding the Black Mountain bandit for three days is a bargaining chip for brother Ziyuan to show his merits in front of the lord?" Feng Ji sneered.

"Could it be that Lu Bu didn't intercept the Heishan bandits?" Xu You asked puzzled, "But obviously..."

"Brother Ziyuan is in a trap, so it's inevitable that he won't check. Forget it, I'll recommend someone to you, and you'll know when the time comes!" Feng Ji said mysteriously.

In the dark secret room, a tall man wearing the armor of a Lu Bu army general appeared in front of Xu You, which surprised Xu You.

"You, aren't you that..." Xu You never expected to see this person here, seeing Feng Ji smiling beside him, Xu You was full of surprise and bewilderment.

"The last general, Song Xian, met the two gentlemen!" It turned out to be Song Xian, a general of Lu Bu's army, who was in charge of Lu Bu's personal guard camp after Wei Xu fled!
If Qin Xu saw this elder brother from now on, he would definitely scold him for being deceived by lard, and his time in Lu Bu's army is not short, how could he forget to notice him.

"General Song! Yuan Tu! Who are you?" After all, Xu You is a thoughtful person. Qin Xu learned of his trump card in the military tent before, and was anxious about the matter of Yecheng, so he was humiliated by Qin Xu and vomited blood. San Sheng was ashamed to see people, and when he saw Song Xian, who was the chief of Lv Bu's personal guard battalion, appearing in the place where he had a secret conversation with Feng Ji, he felt something unusual in his heart.

"General Song hated Qin Xu because he was dissatisfied with Lu Bu's actions. He has already gone to Hanoi, so please let me secretly surrender to the lord instead!" Feng Ji said to Song Xian with a smile on his face: "Zi Yuan Brother Ziyuan is still kept in the dark, General Song might as well explain in detail what Lu Bu did, what Brother Ziyuan didn't know about!"

"promise!"

Song Xian was in charge of Lu Bu's personal guard camp after Wei Xu, and was always by Lu Bu's side, and Lu Bu never kept many things from him.Facing Xu You and Feng Ji, Song Xian immediately told Lu Bu how to deter the black mountain bandits for three days, and when the time came, he immediately withdrew the army without any injuries to the soldiers and horses; the day before yesterday, he accompanied Lu Bu to meet Qin Xu, and heard From Qin Xu's version of the attack on Yecheng and how Lu Lingqi captured Yuan Shang and the other three, and was thrown by Qin Xu to the Heishan bandits as a matter of provoking hatred between the two families, it was like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, everything was explained clearly.

"Ah! Lu Bu! Qin Xu! If I, Xu You, don't kill you, it's hard to get rid of my hatred!" After hearing what Song Xian said, Xu You couldn't bear it!

Originally, I was a little grateful to Lu Bu for blocking the Black Mountain bandits for him for three days, so that Yuan Shao had room to turn around his mistakes in the Yecheng Rebellion, so when Lu Bu, Qin Xu and others returned to Huaicheng, they saved avoidance attitude.

Hearing this now, I still don’t understand why Xu You is the fool who co-authored it. Not only did he give Lv Bu an excuse to send troops, and let the world know about Lv Bu’s "benevolence and righteousness", but also if the chaos in Yecheng was discussed in detail by someone with a heart, Xu You can't escape the blame!
No wonder Feng Ji just said that his life is not long!After Xu You heard what Song Xian said, his heart was filled with anger, his eyes were red with anger, his beard and hair seemed to be raised, he stared at Song Xian and said: "What General Song said is true?!"

"Of course it is true!" Song Xian seemed not to be surprised by Xu You's skeptical tone, and said coldly: "Lv Bu listened to the slander and arbitrarily expelled the general, causing the hero to be wronged and the strong man to cry blood! Why is my brother guilty? We have been in the army since Lu Bu joined the army. Followed left and right, experienced more than a hundred battles, big and small, loyal, never complained, but was forced to run away overnight, and had to bend himself to be a thief for peace! How wronged is he to be scolded by the world?"

Hearing the excitement of Song Xian's words, Xu You believed a little more in his heart, and asked suspiciously: "I don't know who the general said, Brother Ling?"

"Brother Ziyuan, General Song's life and death brother, you know about it!" Feng Ji said lightly: "It was General Xuanwei who was forced to rebel by that Lu Bu and opened the gate of Chang'an to make Lu Bu flee. General!"

"So that's how it is!" Xu You rolled his eyes, bowed deeply to Song Xian, and said, "I never thought that General Wei would be so wronged. If this matter is over, You will be reported to the lord, and he will definitely vindicate General Wei!"

"Thank you two gentlemen!" Song Xian said with gratitude on his face, and wept in his words: "Since Xian has been anyway, he is a minister under Yuan Gong's tent. I don't hesitate, I just ask the two gentlemen to do it for my elder brother..."

"Don't worry, general!" Feng Ji nodded, and said with a smile: "Since we have become ministers in the same account as the general, Ji and others will naturally run around for the general, and I ask the general to come back for a while, so as not to be noticed by Lu Bu. There are still important things to do today, and we need to rely on the strength of the general."

"No! Xian will certainly not disappoint the two generals, but..." Song Xian was about to leave when he seemed to think of something again, and looked at Xu You and Feng Ji with a troubled expression on his face.

"If the general has something else to do, it's okay to talk about it!" After learning the truth of the matter, Xu You was also quite friendly to Song Xian under the same hatred.

"Thank you two gentlemen! With two gentlemen planning, Lu Bu and that ignorant child Qin Xu dared to fight Yuan Gong, and they must die soon." Song Xian complimented, and said with a little hesitation: "It's just my brother Wei Xu, although he stooped to serve the two thieves Li Jue and Guo Si, he has always admired Yuan Gong. If he votes in the future, I would like to ask you two gentlemen to say a few words in front of Yuan Gong, and don't hold him accountable. crime."

"Naturally! General Song doesn't have to worry, and go back with peace of mind. Wait for my news, I believe that General Song will get his wish soon!" Feng Ji and Xu You smiled at each other. Yuan Shao once wanted to establish another emperor, so how could he? Do you care if a little guy like Wei Xu has ever voted for a thief?It's just that Feng Ji had a plan in his heart and needed the help of Song Xian's "surprise soldier", so he agreed immediately.

"Black Mountain Bandit! Lu Bu! Qin Xu! None of you can escape!"

After Xu You heard the name of "Qin Xu" Song Xian said, a cold light flashed in his ferocious and gloomy eyes, and he thought to himself.
