Chapter 477 Temporarily balance the three armies escort(1/2)
She is such a person, so benevolent and righteous that even making accusations feels like she is not strong enough. Because she is really too confident. Why can she think that she will lead so many useless people out of Jizhou and out of Yanzhou?!
With such self-confidence in checks and balances, for such a person, if Cao Cao really kills her, he will probably take the blame again. He has already taken the blame once for the Sima family. How many people outside say that it was Cao Cao who made the Sima family miserable?
Escaped?!
Think about it, she was the initiator, but in the end, Cao Cao took the blame. How can you not be so angry?!
The envoy secretly thought that she must have created a lot of momentum and poured a lot of black water on Cao Cao, but it happened that we couldn't scold each other in a righteous way, so we could only feel depressed.
Although I was a little speechless, I was really impressed by her.
Because her current situation is really difficult, but she is not putting on a show, nor is she demonstrating benevolence and righteousness. She really wants to take so many people to Xuzhou, and the entire Sima family is safe and sound.
This kind of magnanimity and courage are so convincing. Her purpose of coming here is indeed for the Sima family.
This matter is regarded as a righteous act in the eyes of people all over the world.
The messenger had no choice but to curse that people in the world are indeed blind.
Seeing that Cao Ying's army was here, Zang Ba was guarding one side, and Zhao Yun took the lead with a long spear to protect Lu Xian.
The messenger had already dismounted and said to Lu Xian: "How is your young master?! Are you okay?!"
Lu Xian also got off the horse, clasped her fists and smiled: "Xian'an, thank you very much for Mr. Cao's concern and for the reinforcement of troops and horses to protect and support you. It's Xian's good fortune. Thank you very much for Xian, Mr. Cao! It's Xian's good fortune for me, my junior, to be loved and cared for by my elders.
, it is also my father Lu Bu's good fortune. I was escorted by Duke Yuan in the past, and reinforced by Duke Cao later. Xian is extremely grateful!"
The envoy was slightly shocked by her response. It was so natural that he immediately classified the matter as a reinforcement escort rather than an interception on the way. This kind of magnanimity, fearless and harmless magnanimity, is really convincing.
Very.
Isn't she afraid that she will be intercepted halfway?!
Just looking behind her, Zhao Yun looked at her with eager eyes. He had a strong general and Yuan Shao's two thousand elite soldiers watching.
And if those old and weak people died here, if Cao Cao really killed these people, they would never be able to wash away their black spots in their lifetime.
And these elites are here to kill these old and weak people. If Lu Xian is not killed and she escapes, it will really be a trap to death.
Therefore, even though the envoy had a murderous intention in his heart, when he saw this scene, he lost all his thoughts and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao and the young lady are old friends. If the young lady needs help, how can we not help her?! I'm waiting for you."
Escort the young master back to Xuzhou!"
At this time, there was a tacit agreement not to mention anything about the imperial decree of concubine or not, and he was not that stupid. At this time, Lu Xian would not be happy to bring up such nonsense.
Since you can't kill, you can only try to move closer to friendship. If you don't do a good thing and still make people unhappy, that's not how things are done. If you really do this, it will be really thankless.
The people in Cao Ying are really not that stupid.
"Gong Cao is a benevolent and righteous person," Lu Xian also sighed happily, saying: "The envoy must thank Duke Cao for Xian."
Are they all clichés? They are just words on the lips, so you and I talk for a long time without getting tired of them.
The messenger smiled again and said: "Gong Cao asked me to pass a message to the young lady."
"The envoy please speak," Lu Xian said with a smile, "Xian dare not respond."
"May I ask, young lady, if you have forgotten the old alliance?!" the messenger said.
All the lieutenants in Yuan Shao's camp were startled, and their faces suddenly turned ugly.
Lu Xian said: "I don't dare to forget."
The envoy smiled and said: "In that case, the envoy is at peace."
The generals in Yuan Shao's camp were slightly angry and stepped forward and said, "May I ask what alliance the young master has with Cao Cao?!"
Of course Lu Xian would not be stupid enough to say that we would kill Boss Yuan together. She smiled and said: "What kind of alliance can the ministers of the emperor have?! They have sworn to protect the emperor together. This is also the one who must be an alliance with Mr. Yuan."
General Yuan and others laughed and said arrogantly: "I hope so. If there is any conspiracy to commit injustice, Mr. Yuan will not spare it."
These Yuan generals are also short-sighted. They have done good things but still have to displease others. This is called thankless work.
The messenger chuckled in his heart and remained silent.
Lu Xian said: "How dare you?! The battle between Yuan Gong and Cao Gong is just for a seat to protect the emperor. How dare you say it is unjust? There is no such thing as an unjust alliance."
The generals of Yuan were suffocated and speechless for a moment. They said this as if they wanted to ask about injustice, but they should first ask Yuan about justice and injustice.
Their expressions were not very good, they looked at each other, and they were all a little dissatisfied. Lu Xian was just a eloquent talker. He also asked Cao Cao to come to take care of him. What does this mean?!
Of course they won't be happy.
If he wanted to leave, forget it, but he was afraid that Cao Cao would intercept him and he would not be able to do the job, so he had to grunt and continue escorting, but he was quite critical of the officers and men in Cao's camp.
Lu Xian was afraid that they would have a conflict. It would be funny if they actually fought, so she laughed and said: "Thanks to the love of Duke Yuan and Duke Cao, it is Xian's good fortune to be escorted. However, this is the meaning of love. If there are many twists and turns,
, On the contrary, it is not good. Please ask both sides to lead their own teams so as not to interfere with each other, which will avoid Xian’s trouble."
When she said this, Messenger Cao naturally smiled and said, "That's how it should be."
Cao Ying has expressed his stance, and Yuan Zhi's soldiers will naturally not fail to express their stance. Although their faces are not very good-looking, and they cannot understand Cao Ying's style, they still hold back their hands and say: "You should be like this, Mr. Yuan has good intentions, and you won't do it."
Put the young master in trouble!"
"Thank you!" Lu Xian smiled and said, "It can't be delayed. Xian needs to return urgently, so please continue to Yanzhou."
"Please," Messenger Cao said.
Yuan's officers and men also followed the team, but they were a little wary in their hearts. From Jizhou to Yanzhou, they were of course afraid of being outflanked by Cao Cao. Therefore, their faces were somewhat solemn.
The two teams were in peace, and Zang Ba and Zhao Yun also breathed a sigh of relief. The two looked at each other in a tacit understanding. On the way home, they did not dare to separate in the slightest, for fear that something would go wrong and the balance would be broken by one party.
, it would be dangerous, so even if the two of them took a break, they would like to open their eyes and would not dare to be distracted at all.
Not only was there no time to talk, it was even impossible to waste time.
And on the way from Jizhou to Yanzhou, there is no need to be distracted. If Yuan Shao's people are here, maybe we only need to deal with their arrogance. However, those who have joined Cao Ying, these people may kill Lu Xian.
, and the second is that it may conflict with Yuan Shao's troops.
This balance is easy to break, and they may take advantage of it and blame Yuan Shao for it.
This is a dangerous triangle relationship, so the two of them are really nervous. Not only are they nervous about Lu Xian's safety, but they are also nervous about the safety of the Sima family and the life and death of so many old, weak, women and children.
This is a pot that is burning on the fire, and it may overturn at any time. To balance this pot, you must be alert enough, wise enough, and intelligent enough. You must have the ability to turn the tide.
Zhao Yun admired Lu Xian very much, because she really didn't panic at all. No matter what the situation, she always looked calm and confident, whether she was in Yuan Shaona or on this road.
It will take almost ten days to leave Yanzhou from here, and with so many people, the journey will be slowed down, and mistakes are likely to be made, and the time will be lengthened, adding countless crises and possibilities.<
/p>
So Zhao Yun, Zang Ba and Sima Fang discussed it and brought out all the Sima clan's generals. Half of the troops followed Lu Xian, and behind them, the other half protected the old and weak of the Sima clan.
It's just so unbalanced, but also reveals a strange and delicate balance, entering the realm of Yanzhou.
While Sima Fang was worried, he was also extremely worried, fearing any accident.
At the same time, he was also a little convinced by this Lu Xian. Apart from her origin and being Lu Bu's daughter, and her shamelessness in plotting against the Sima family, this person was indeed as good as Cao Cao.
This kind of courage is rare among the young masters in the world.
So calm, I don’t know whether she is extremely confident, or whether she has put life and death aside for a long time. No matter which way it is, Sima Fang feels that this woman is amazing.
However, this subtlety was broken three days after entering Yanzhou.
Because, Ma Chao came with people.
Ma Chao did not come alone. He led five thousand elites, good horses, elites, and magic archers. Their fighting power was amazing. Instead, five thousand people entered Yanzhou. The movement could not be small. He broke in and made a big splash.
I came to look for Lu Xian. Of course, he was followed by pursuers. He was like an intruder breaking into the forest, shocking the world, and countless people followed him to chase him.
But he didn't care at all, and led his army to come roaring with great movement.
When the scout came to report, even Lu Xian was surprised. She touched her forehead and couldn't laugh or cry. She looked back at the ugly-looking face of Messenger Cao, the faces of Cao's soldiers, and the resentful faces of Yuan's soldiers. Suddenly,
Very speechless.
Even Sima Fang was frightened. What is Ma Chao doing here?!
Sneak attack?!
Everyone thought it was a sneak attack and came to intercept and kill him.
Messenger Cao, the officers and soldiers of Cao's army thought so, and so did officers Yuan. Even Sima's generals and Sima Fang thought so, and all of them looked unhappy.
Although there are many people, compared to Ma Chao's five thousand elites, they may not have a chance of winning!
Liangzhou's cavalry is notoriously tough, so no one was surprised and they all hurriedly set up their formation to fight.
Sima Fang even stumbled and sighed, burst into tears, and sobbed: "The Sima family is gone..."
How can these old and weak people withstand the trampling of these cavalry, even if they can save one-tenth or two, it will be a big deal.
So everyone hated Lu Xian so much that they burst into tears.
Troubled times are so cruel. A family without someone to protect it will be wiped out in ashes, and they may not even be able to leave a last word!
Zang Ba's face turned ugly and he said: "Young Master, please go and meet him! And ask him why he is here!"
Zhao Yun knew that Zang Ba didn't like Ma Chao, so he said: "Xuan Gao will protect the young master, and Yun will ask. If there is any misunderstanding, it can be resolved immediately."
Lu Xian knew that it was best for Zhao Yun to go at this time, so she smiled and said: "Zi Long, let me ask. If there is any misunderstanding, please explain it clearly to the pursuers. I am afraid that Meng Qi rushed into Yanzhou rashly, and Cao Gong must have misunderstood."
