Guo Jia stared at his eyebrows, thinking carefully for a long time, shook his fan: "In Jia's opinion, this is Cao Cao's plan also."

"Oh? Would Feng Xiao like to tell us more about it?"

Even when Guo Jia bluntly pointed out that he had been tricked by Cao Cao, Yan Qing did not look displeased at all, but instead looked at Guo Jia with a slight smile, encouraging him to present evidence one, two, three, or four for the purpose of rebuttal.

Guo Jia was slightly concerned, his eyes flashing.

Although he was only under Yuan Shao's tent for a short period of time, but when the strategists gathered, for the Lord's advice, can not escape a 'tit for tat' to.

His words were neither euphemistic, but also did not come up with the basis for the direct negation of Yan Qing's speculation, if replaced by others, not on the spot to ridicule, would like to sincerely listen to the enunciation is also a minority, and how many of the party camping, hooking up with each other?

Chong Guang is a complete anomaly. With the achievements he has built, and Lu Bu is willing to share the trust and authority, can rest easy, if only to assist the Lord as a local vassal, he is that under one person, ten thousand people on top of the master of strategy.

But the fairness and selflessness of the people to hair, running around to boarding with talent, not the slightest fear of newcomers at the beginning of the emergence of new people, the opposite of the top of him, is completely loyal to the master, only for the overall interests of the Lu Bu potential considerations.

Thanks to Lu Bu to Yan Qing is also from beginning to end, as always, trust, so that he can rest assured that he can do, and other strategists are also shrewd, where do not see this, for fear of the future are unshakeable?

It is so that in Lu Bu's tent, there is always a peace.

Guo Jia smiled helplessly, "Look at Chong Guang's appearance, why is it like he's looking forward to it?"

Yan Qing thought of course, as long as we keep you healthy, then the more you perform, the more it is a guarantee that I will be able to retire with peace of mind in the future.

On his face, he smiled slightly, spread his hands, and said frankly: "Qing also feels that this move is outrageously dangerous. Cao Cao is not so avoid Yuan Shao like a flooding beast, would rather put his hope in death to survive, but also refused to taste the guts with pay?"

Guo Jia nodded, said: "Gongsundu this person guarding Liaodong, days have been a long time, compared with Cao Cao, the Lord and others, although it is a mediocre, but there are means of ruthless, in the past, chopped off its no grudges with the local families of the local family, the sole power of the special order, the people do not see how much he embraced conviction, but deeply afraid of his violence for a long time."

Yan Qing agreed, and pertinently added a sentence evaluation: "he solid brutality, but some ability to lead the troops to war, had the eastern conquest of Goguryeo, western conquest of Uwan, is the will to expand the territory; and had been inspired to govern, open the schoolhouse, recruiting talented people, collect stragglers, and there is a parallel state as the base, the idea of deer in the Central Plains."

If Gongsundu is really a waste, then the Central Plains lords again mutual checks and balances, but also impossible to let this huge Liaodong do not care.

The chicken ribs that are tasteless and unfavorable to eat can become a meat and potatoes if they fall into the hands of the next person.

Guo Jia raised an eyebrow and smiled teasingly, "Then why does Shiguang think that he has achieved so little despite all his hard work?"

Yan Qing said without hesitation, "There are no very capable people under his command ......"

Guo Jia flew a fan, a false cover Yan Qing's lips, laughed and said, "Chong Guang is wrong."

Yan Qing paused and also laughed, "Although Qing does not know exactly why, this must be Feng Xiao's reason for anticipating Chong Guang's narrow escape."

"Of course!" Guo Jia slowly said: "Hezhou solid away from the Central Plains strife, can keep a moment of peace, but ultimately it is a bitterly cool and barren place. Soldiers and people are the basis of resistance, no soldiers, no people, food and grass is also poor, the left has Gongsun Zan eyeing, the right has a misbehaving foreigners waiting for an opportunity to move, even if there is a person with a sharp mind, hard work, in this internal and external problems, and how can it? Not to mention three years and five years, the time limit will be widened to twenty or thirty years, this climate may not be able to become, and then the situation is afraid to have been fixed!"

"Cao Cao's governance of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, in just a short period of time, can have such achievements, in addition to his own good governance and talent, but also with this place is he scattered his family's wealth, the foundation of the rise of the righteous soldiers related! Crossing the sea with fishing boats and soldiers who are not familiar with the water, as well as the lack of soldiers and tired generals to go on an expedition, at the same time to violate two major taboos, in addition to the longer the time away from home, the more dispersed the army, in Cao Cao's favor, how unfavorable? Would he really want that moment of peace to commit such an unwise risk?"

Yan Qing had felt that there was something indescribably fishy about this from the start, only when he was blinded by Cao Cao's route of withdrawal, he considered more of the benefits of the state of peace, but forgot about its fatal flaws, and after Guo Jia gently exposed it like this, he instantly came to realize it as well.

The population of the province is sparse, the soil is barren, the development is very limited, and the unsuspecting neighbor Gongsun Zan, blocking his way to the Central Plains, but also an extremely dangerous destabilizing factor: if the fight, and Yuan Shao is despicably playing sit back and watch the tigers fight, and wait to consume the strength of the two power, and then send an army to wipe out the idea of Cao Cao is blocked in the isolation of the province, there is not even a way out, only to face the war head on. Cao Cao is blocked in the area of Bingzhou, and has no way back, so he has to face the battle head-on.

And if Cao Cao's army alone wanted to fight against Gongsun Zan, even if he were to use his army like a god, he wouldn't even have half a chance of winning.

Even if he is defeated by riding the luck of the hour, it is still unknown into whose hands Gongsun Zan's Youzhou will fall - Yuan Shao, who was able to shamelessly assassinate even his ally's Jizhou in the first place, how much of his old love can he speak of to Cao Cao before the lure of this great benefit?

I'm afraid that in the end it will only be a dowry for Yuan Shao.

For Cao Cao, who has the ambition of a great swan, the idea of retreating to the state of Bingzhou is not even a palliative, but an unquestionable dead end.

But in this predicament, he also went to great lengths to confuse outsiders, luring them to think in this direction, is inadvertently ignored the conditions of the annexation of the state does not have the ability to become a base for Yan Qing did not expect, and because of Cao Cao is often shocking, before there is a body with the seven star sword, in the eyes of the world's unparalleled martial arts Lv Bu, single-handedly assassinated the power of the dynasty of the dong Zhuo's honorable record, there is a full of bold gambler's performance, and then bring tens of thousands of people killed to go to annexation and Gongsundu to steal the land is not so difficult to accept. tens of thousands of people to kill to go to the parallel state to steal the land with Gongsundu, it is not so difficult to accept.

"Thanks to Fengxiao alert, is the clear party thought fork," Guo Jia is willing not to play mysterious, cover up, but a reasoned analysis of a pass, the evidence to persuade him, Yan Qing will be very satisfied, but also readily admitted their own omissions, and respectfully and discreetly salute a thank you: "Thank you Fengxiao. "

Guo Jia's eyebrows jumped, when Yan Qing was still flirting with him with this, sighed: "Chong Guang this trick has not played enough?"

Yan Qing laughed and said, "Whenever you get a strange strategy, you should thank Feng Xiao first, how is it a trick?"

There existed some important reasons why Yan Qing did not call out Lu Bu when discussing this matter with Guo Jia.

Not because he was annoyed Lu Bu in the clear mind of both sides directly close to the king of the hard bow to come a step to the position, recklessly by the nature of him pressed under the body stabbed for several days of the reason.

...... Though he was indeed about to be pissed off to no end.

Once involved in the momentum of the major events, Yan Qing absolutely called public and private, and therefore very clear, when he and Guo Jia's opinions support each other, there is a controversial difference, before he almost called the words of obedience to Lu Bu, at least in the near future, became a must avoid suspicion, impossible to judge fairly, pertinently for the adoption of the existence of the trouble.

Thinking with his toes, he could guess that Lu Bu would support his opinion unconditionally, firmly choosing to oppose all of Guo Jia's objections.

...... like that sooner or later play out.

As for Yan Qing himself, he is more inclined to believe Guo Jia. Guo Jia is known as the 'talented strategist, the world's most brilliant man', but he is not omnipotent, and in history, he did not count on Chen Gong's mutiny to welcome Lu Bu into the city, leading to the loss of the rear base. Then out of caution, or to exchange discussions, brainstorming is.

Now that Guo Jia had convinced him, it would be more appropriate to say the consensus reached to Lu Bu in a moment, rather than letting Lu Bu listen from the sidelines and then show favoritism in a dignified manner.

Thinking of Lu Bu, who was bluffed by his sunken face and finally knew how to act as a humble servant after eating his own flesh, Yan Qing couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and then ran to the main point: "Then Fengxiao thinks that Cao Cao's use of this as an eyepatch is really intended to do what?"

Guo Jia favored at this time to sell up, smiled and said, "Waiting for Jia to go to fetch the sand table to, for Chong Guang deduce some, can be clear at a glance."

"A sand tray?" Yan Qing subconsciously leaned over, reached out and pulled open the closed wooden cabinet beside that table and peered inside, "It's not right here - huh?"

When I reached it, I touched it, not realizing that the sandbox that was supposed to be inside had disappeared.

Guo Jia snorted, "My Lord has been taking care of Chongguang lately, and has been doing everything himself, so how could he have the time to come to the Lord's tent? In favor of Jia's recent frequent need to deduce, and had to go back and forth several times a day, so he made people move to Jia's tent."

Although the sand table is a military secret, Guo Jia want to borrow to use, Yan Qing where there is no reason to allow, only smiled and said: "Fengxiao also think that thing is useful, may wish to order craftsmen to make a few more pairs of good to send to you, but also save often need to bother, the old move to move to."

Guo Jia was eager for this, and didn't have the slightest intention of excusing himself, "That's fine. This time, we will first ask Chong Guang to wait for a moment, Jia personally go to fetch it."

Yan Qing nodded and changed to a comfortable sitting position, watching Guo Jia get up and flutter away.

However, Guo Jia just lifted the tent curtain, a step forward, and solidly hit a wall of gnarled muscles, the end of the hard and incomparable high wall, caught off guard by a jump hard, while rubbing his nose in pain, while huffing a mouthful of cool air said: "Lord how here!"

Lu Bu himself aside, often followed by dozens of followers, when the heavy pace of the ground in unison, walking the movement is not small, often in his far away. He can be heard clearly.

Yan Qing was familiar with the sound of his footsteps to the point where he couldn't be more familiar with them, and there was no reason why anyone would not be able to detect them even after they had walked to the front of the tent-unless Lu Bu had intentionally hidden those noises.

So before Lu Bu could say anything, Yan Qing's sharp eye-blade swept over silently, scraping against that strangely thick and incomparable face.

Lu Bu's face was as usual, but he also reasonably stepped aside, raised his eyebrows appropriately, and wondered, "Bu has just finished his work, so he stopped by to take a look, but he didn't want to startle Fengxiao. Could it be that the gentlemen have finished their business in a hurry?"

Rao Yan Qing had guessed his details to be eight to nine. Rao Yan Qing had guessed his details to the best of her ability, but she also had to admire his pure acting skills.

Guo Jia frowned slightly, glancing at Lu Bu, whose face was colorless, without a trace, and then glancing at the calm and indifferent Yan Qing out of the corner of his eye, he smiled without showing his face, "Not yet."

"Oh." Lu Bu responded absentmindedly, his deliberately averted gaze unable to resist gluing itself back onto Yan Qing, who had been apathetically holding her tea without a word since the normal greeting, his mouth casually urging, "Aren't you going to fetch the sand table, go ahead."

Guo Jia: "......"

Seeing Guo Jia leave in response to his promise, Yan Qing had a headache and held his forehead.

He was overestimating Lu Bu - this idiot had just pretended to have arrived not long ago, pretending to be unaware of the content of their discussion, but his next sentence revealed that he had been eavesdropping for a long time.

See Guo Jia left, Lu Bu also honestly stayed in the door, although the face did not show any expression to, that occasionally rubbing palms, and from time to time drifting to the gaze is full of desire to speak again and again.

Yan Qing's eyelids jumped, it was not good to be so stiff, otherwise by the ghostly Guo Jia a look, Ironically have to reveal the cloven foot, the only thing to do is to open the mouth expressionlessly to invite: "Lord please come in."
