Lu Bu looked at Guo Jia, his tone was rather polite: "What is your advice, sir?"
"Advice can not be called, only that I am afraid there is fraud." Guo Jia smiled: "Cao Cao is a person, cunning and wise, since the establishment of a power, except for the restoration of hatred and slaughter of Xuzhou, all are planned and then moved. As such, he will not rely on Yuan Shao's hope. Fear is to coax Yuan Shao first to play the first battle, he is divided into troops, an army with his expedition, an army in the name of its solid rear, in fact, waiting for the opportunity to seek the Qingzhou just."
Lu Bu raised an eyebrow, noncommittal, "Oh?"
Although he did not explicitly oppose, but revealed a need to consider, ambiguous look, but Yan Qing and Guo Jia and how can not see, this in fact represents a reluctance, only inconvenient to say directly to do the attitude of delay?
Apparently, in the opinion of the proud and brave Lu Bu, the fact that he could hold his temper and not open fire on the two nests of traitors (Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan) at the same time, but instead honestly combed the internal affairs and pacified the people, is already a great kindness that came from the smoke of their ancestors' graves.
Now Yuan Shao even provoked the door, but also do not know how to set out to fight the arrogance of the attitude, Lu Bu to be able to calmly deal with this, that would be called strange - he just got Yan Qing under the influence, know the benefits of the heart of the deep, self-taught, become a thick heart some, but not really cultivate the character of a timid and afraid of the matter.
But more than anger, he was glad that he didn't have to be idle anymore, and that he had a chance to grind some of the new recruits under his tent and move his muscles.
Where still happy to play roundabout, Yin people do not see the blood of the various ways, only want to painfully, soundly just a front, halberd horse, bow and arrow, called this group of small turtle grandchildren have to come back.
After listening to Guo Jia's reminder, Yan Qing's heart was moving, before he had time to think about it, he suddenly got Guo Jia's winking eyes of 'it all depends on you', so he had to quickly run through his thoughts and persuade him in a warm voice: "What Feng Xiao said is not wrong, Cao Cao is a person who has been criticized by his son as a chaotic kingpin, and if he is not forced to do so by the situation, how would he be willing to serve as his pawn under Yuan Shao's army? If it were not for the situation, why would he be willing to be a pawn under Yuan Shao, who is a man with a beautiful exterior and a poor interior? Can't you really expect Yuan Shao, who had stood by and watched the difficulties he encountered, to really reward him for his achievements and give him a higher rank?"
Yuan Shao has suffered the loss of a tiger, will not easily give Cao Cao the opportunity to get out of the independent, even if he really have reuse favor Cao Cao's heart, by his account of those who hooked up with the connoisseur to come up to a burst of division, and then even the great achievements will be very little left.
"Yuan Shao certainly dotes on his youngest son Yuan Shang, but one is in the way of etiquette and law, and the other is that his eldest son Yuan Tan is quite powerful, so it's not good to set him up as the heir." Yan Qing recalled Yuan Shao's actions in history, I have to say that although this father is indecisive, but also very eccentric, but in the end, the protection of shortcomings, in order to pretend to treat everyone the same, sent his son to each lead the post of assassin of a state, said that this is so easy to examine its ability: "In order to block the mouths of the people, but also for the sake of peace of mind Yuan Tan, but also for the sake of preventing Gongsun Zan change his mind on the battlefield, I'm afraid that will be appointed Yuan Tan to be the assassin of the state of Qingzhou before the departure, with the Beihai Kongrong, Gongsun Zan, the assassin of Qingzhou. Yuan Tan will probably be appointed as the Assassin of Qingzhou before his departure, in a confrontational position with Kong Rong of Beihai and Tian Kai of Gongsun Zan."
"Three forces each camp, to Cao Cao's ability, first borrowed Yuan Shao's hand to restrain us, can be broken one by one, to capture the Qingzhou as the foundation of life: Yuan Tan talent is limited, and is new to the country, not to be feared; Kong Rong weak literati, and just retreated from the Yellow Turbans bandits, the vitality of a great deal of injuries, and no generals in the tent, a quick attack can be broken; Tian Kai strength is the most tricky, but can be misrepresented on the front line of the military situation to lure out the tiger from the mountain after a smooth Hatake nest, so that he has no place to go back. To lure out, after the tiger leaves the mountain, smooth turtledove magpie's nest, call him nowhere to return." Depends on whether Liu Bei can see through these tricks, speak and enough weight, can suppress want to share a piece of Tian Kai.
Lu Bu instantly nodded his head and said with deep conviction, "Cao Cao really does have other plans."
The contrast in this attitude was so stark that Guo Jia was told to silently roll his eyes.
Yan Qing said happily, "Exactly. What Cao Cao is playing is probably the idea of building an inn in the open and a storehouse in the dark, so whether Yuan Shao is lucky enough to win miserably in this battle, or if he is defeated and withered, he will have room to advance and retreat."
Lu Bu gazed intently at Yan Qing, nodding his head repeatedly, and it was only after a long time that he slowly and leisurely opened his mouth, humbly asking for advice, "What Shiguang said is very true. In that case, how should Bu be prepared for it?"
Yan Qing has not yet spoken, Guo Jia lazily interjected: "Not difficult. Lord only need to secretly place a competent generals to improvise, and then leave 30,000 people in Yuzhou standby, so that, whether Liu table to persuade some changes, or the situation in Qingzhou changes, do not call Cao Cao to take advantage of the opportunity."
Yan Qing nodded his head, his eyes sparkling as he delivered a heartfelt ass-kiss: "My lord has the courage of a roaring tiger, and has a strange strategy, if you lead the main force to reject the enemy in Guandu, you can be the enemy of 10,000 men, not to mention that the enemy is outnumbered by us this time around. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with that."
Bathed in the gaze of his beloved priest, which was a mixture of expectation and admiration, Lu Bu stood tall and felt elated, and agreed without hesitation: "Both of you have the same intention, so why wouldn't I listen to you? However, it is not necessary to use so many people to deal with Yuan Shao's son! With Bu here, I will definitely make him retreat and lose his nerve!"
Seeing that the purpose has been successfully achieved, Yan Qing smiled and said "yes", and then threw Lu Bu, who was still in high spirits, to the side, and seriously discussed with Guo Jia about the candidate for the town guard.
In order to keep Yuan Shao from realizing his true intentions, Cao Cao could only lead his army to Guandu with him, leaving the important task of waiting for the opportunity to make a surprise attack to his beloved generals.
It would be much better if we didn't have to confront Cao Cao directly. It just so happens that Jia Yan has completed his mission of fanning the flames from Chang'an and will be back in Xuchang in a few days, so if he takes up the post of military governor and is paired with a courageous general who is willing to listen to advice, he will be able to make sure everything is in order.
Jia Yan, who was on his way back, did not yet know that he had been missed again by Yan Qing before he even rushed back.
Just who could this person presumably be?
Yan Qing in his mind will Cao Cao's early account of the names of the tiger generals over a round: the history of Cao Wei's famous five good generals, in the head of the Xu Huang and Zhang Liao has been a tragedy, deep into the clutches of Lv Bu, and then there is Zhang He is still in Yuan Shao's command, is Yan Qing still eyeing. The only remaining two people, one is Yu Ban in the last year to worship into its subordinates, and in Xuzhou after the gradual promotion, not very likely; the other is Le Jin, has not yet come to the first appearance of the time, but is a minor official only.
The eight tiger generals, who are mostly in their prime, are more likely. Among them, Xiahou Shang and Cao Zhen are close to Cao Pi's age and are still kids, so they can be ignored; Cao Chun, the famous commander of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry in the future, is still young, so he is not to be taken into consideration; Cao Huo is Cao Cao's bodyguard, so he is sure to be with him every step of the way; Xiahou Dun, who has asked for reinforcements from Yuan Shao and was once placed under house arrest, and is known by him, so he is not in a position to leave in order to avoid drawing attention to himself; Xiahou Yuan, who in the history of Guandu, is responsible for the supervision of the transportation of grain and hay. I don't know if there will be any change; then, there is Cao Chun, who has been fighting with Cao Cao in all four directions and saved his life by offering him a horse, and Cao Ren, who has been a vanguard for many times, and who was in charge of attacking other places before joining up with the army in Xuzhou.
Yan Qing suddenly blessed to the heart, said, "It just so happens that Gong Jin was not long ago appointed to be the Qingzhou Buzhao ......."
Lu Bu was still in a daze when Guo Jia quickly picked up the conversation, "Shiguang's meaning is for Bo Fu to go?"
Yan Qing laughed, "Exactly! Thanks to Gongsun Zan's goodwill, it is only then that this Jiangdong duo of masters will be able to respond to each other, and show people what the power of the pearl and the jade is."
Could there be found in their battalion a partner more in tune with each other than this pair of total horns, who shared the same heart even when they were miles apart?
Guo Jia pursed his lips slightly and looked meaningfully at Yan Qing.
In his and Lu Bu's eyes, both Yan Qing's love of talent, which was completely unconcerned with his age, and even this vaguely revealing languor, were all incredible.
Just two young people who have not yet reached the crown, although they have the qualifications of a beautiful jade, in the end, their qualifications are still shallow, and the tests they have undergone are not enough, so how can Shiguang be so impressed, and repeatedly reassured to entrust them with important tasks?
Just when Guo Jia thought for a moment, linked to their own body, and do not feel strange: the world like Yan Qing, such as both the phase of a thousand miles of Bole's talent, but also with the unconstrained heart of the use of people, I am afraid that it is impossible to pick out a second to, since it can not be deduced by common sense.
Yan Qing said, "What do Lord and Feng Xiao think?"
In any case, Guo Jia is on the Yan Qing this talent is extremely valued and trust, since there is no intention to oppose: "Chongguang this view, Jia deeply convinced."
Lu Bu was even more forthcoming, "Good."
In this way, he could safely save Jia Yan to come and invite the other party to come to Guandu as well.
As the person who delivered the letter had just been dispatched, it was now too late to call back, so Yan Qing hurriedly summoned the messenger and sent the new instructions.
"Our army will be the forerunner, and we will attack Yuan Shao at the sixth hour tomorrow." After Lu Bu dispatched the other troops, he sent someone to call Zhang Liao and Gan Ning and ordered, "Each of you will lead an army and quickly point out 5,000 foot soldiers, 1,000 crossbow soldiers, 2,000 bow soldiers and 5,000 light cavalry, if there is any delay, military discipline will not be tolerated!"
Unlike Zhang Liao, who responded with a resounding yes, Gan Ning's neck turned red with excitement, and he finally swept away all of his hidden worries these days - although Lu Bu showed that he didn't hold any grudges, and was very generous on the surface, what could be more trustworthy than to allow him, a former bandit leader who was a first-timer in Yangzhou, to lead an army with more than 10,000 men, in the midst of a large-scale battle? The head of the water bandits led an army with more than 10,000 people to show more trust!
After Lu Bu ordered the matter down, he didn't rush to make a trip to the barracks to reorganize his army and men, but he sat down again with an indifferent face and looked at Yangzhou Assassin Shi and Yangzhou Biejiao.
Only to see Yan Qing and Guo Jia smiling next to the intimate, discussing oblivious, even if there is an occasional difference of opinion, one side can quickly persuade the other side with a light tone of voice, harmony and joy, tacit understanding.
It is not like Yuan Shao's account that looked at the talent, more hook and corner, party camping smoke filled.
Lu Bu, however, was half-heartedly moved by this precious harmony, as the Lord, his presence was undoubtedly weakened to a pitiful degree, if it were not for Yan Qing's insistence on consulting him before finalizing each and every idea, it would have been truly as if he had been forgotten.
The "pitiful" Lu Bu listens without moving, slowly stretching his sturdy body with no care in the world, while propping one hand on the warm and smooth tiger-skin sitting carpet, and slowly sliding towards the hem of Yan Qing's clothes without any trace.

--Xiahou Shang favored a concubine over his main wife, who was the daughter of Cao, so Cao Pi sent someone to hang the concubine. Xiahou Shang was so sad that he became ill to the point of trance and died a year later.
