According to history, Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, was depressed by the loss of his two sons last year, and then was forced to relocate to Chengdu by the fire, and soon died of a back sore, replacing Liu Zhang, the idiot, who succeeded to the throne.
However, due to the remnants of Dong Zhuo was Lu Bu cut off the roots, out of that poisonous plan Jia Yan also be subdued, chaotic martial arts Chang'an did not happen, Liu Yan as a Han clan, but also cut a large Yizhou, naturally very much valued by the Liu Xie, intends to pull together.
His three sons, all of whom have been blessed by him, have official positions, and are staying at the court in good health.
Liu Zhang was the Captain of the Bong Che, Liu Fan was the Left Lieutenant General, and Liu Tan was the Royal Secretary of the Ruling Book, so it could be said that the family was full of eminence.
If he could choose, Yan Qing would naturally like to choose the brainless Liu Zhang as his opponent, rather than the quite resourceful Liu Yan, but unfortunately, it is impossible to take advantage of all the advantages, and he is destined to change the long-term pattern when he is exterminating the short-term hidden dangers.
To replace Liu Zhang with Liu Zhang has also become an almost impossible task: if his two elder brothers don't die, how can it be his turn to be succeeded by his youngest son?
However, Liu Yan took the initiative to unite the object, but let Yan Qing very surprised: to know in four years ago, or Jingzhou Liu table personally reported to the court, revealed that he has trespassed to make the son of heaven car equipment, there is a plan to usurp the heart, tired of Liu Yan was troubled, had to clarify the white.
According to history, and Liu Yan that the two sons of the friendship is very good, to together with the secret uprising of the vassals, is that the Western Liang Ma Teng is right.
Ken let Liu Yan so regardless of former suspicion, revealing the intention of alliance with Jingzhou, then this alliance relationship is aimed at who, it is also called out.
It is true that people are afraid of fame and pigs are afraid of strength, the arrow hits the head, because Lu Bu that gradually revealed the sweeping force of the world, so that the vassals are in danger, forced to unite, and efforts to hold him back.
Guo Jia shook the heavy fan, look lazy lazy, but unfortunately that moonlight-colored robes on the mottled blood stains, called this suave discount: "can not be taken lightly. Jingliang affluent, Liu table superior soft, good profit and no decision, have a map and light military, afraid more want to sit on the mountain to watch the tigers, the temporary two do not open offense. Just Liu Yan does have a few means, if really by Liu Yan said into, that two Liu contract date, is our withdrawal back to the defense of the time."
Jia Yan also nodded and said: "Liu Biao has many soldiers, Liu Yan has a wide range of food, and so the two power to join hands, can take advantage of their strengths and make up for their weaknesses, Liu Yan to provide Liu Biao with backup, Liu Biao led the army in front of the battle, to defend against our attack, not like Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's that unbearable. We have just rejected Yuan Shao, our energy has not recovered yet, and our soldiers and horses are running around and are extremely tired. At that time, when the various forces in Hebei take advantage of the weakness, our army will be very passive."
Chen Gong boldly suggested: "Yuan Shao his camp is solid, and there are high archery towers, want to fast attack and quick decision, that's not easy. May as well abandon the attack on the camp, turn to attack Yecheng, Yuan Shao dare not not return to save, and so he was forced out of the fortress, that is to give up the advantage of the archery towers, with the Lord's powerful troops, martial arts bravery is unmatched, can be quickly broken, its soldiers since the retreat also."
Guo Jia shook his head, "This is too risky and should not be done. If we really go down to Yecheng at this time, not only will it be difficult to take care of Yanzhou, which has not yet been stabilized, but we will also have to defend ourselves against the attacks of Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, and all the other powers in the province of Bingzhou. And if Liu Biao really rises up from Jingzhou, it will be a dilemma whether to return to save him or not - if you do, you will have to travel too far, suffer huge losses, and lose the opportunity to fight; if you don't save him, how can you rely on Bo Fu's army alone to defend against Liu Biao's attack, which is free of worries and can use all the strength of the entire state?"
Yan Qing nodded and added, "Bo Fu is young and impetuous, and there is a father's murder feud between him and Liu Biao's general Huang Zu, so if he is eager for revenge and does not act steadily enough, then as the commander-in-chief, he will bring disaster to the entire army."
Chen Gong sighed: "I see. Just braving the rain of arrows to attack, I do not know how many soldiers and generals to lose, why not order a general to lead a light cavalry, bring torches and dry firewood, along the way to snipe that transportation of grain and grass wagon train, so that they do not attack earlier to break themselves."
This proposal was unanimously agreed upon, and Yan Qing smiled, "We'll speak with the Lord in a few moments, and he'll decide who to send."
And then he turned to ask Liu Ye who was gazing in thought, "I don't know how many days it will take for the thunderbolt car made by Zi Yang's supervisor to be ready?"
Liu Ye returned to his senses and said without hesitation, "Five days at the latest, three days at the soonest."
Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, the time it took was almost exactly the same as what he had estimated, "Just five days of work, it's still affordable to wait."
Chen Gong didn't know the power of the thunderbolt cart, so he asked, "How could the thunderbolt cart be so restrained against that arrow tower?"
Yan Qing smiled faintly and glanced at Liu Ye, who understood and explained in a warm voice, "The temporary archery towers are all made of wooden strips, how can they withstand the strength of the flying stones? The soldiers on the archery tower can hide, but the archery tower is not long legs, even if the accuracy is not enough, more than a few times to throw, can call them apart."
They didn't know at this time that Zhou Yu, who was making a good living in Qingzhou, was also about to give Yuan Shao a kick in the pants by counting on Yuan Shu.
After the death of the rear guard, who else will be able to supervise the supply and transportation of food and grass for the frontline army?
In just a few months' work, Zhou Yu, who was determined to repay Yan Qing and Lu Bu's regard with practical actions, had already unambiguously done several great deeds.
Just got Gongsun Zan's appointment, parachuted into Qingzhou, as engaged in the practice of Zhou Yu is very low-key, although completed beautifully, but not eye-catching, external also do not take credit for, only that is Tian Kai pointing to the credit in place.
Upon being told this, it called for Tian Kai, who had originally rejected his arrival, to take a bit of a liking to him.
When practically close, Tian Kai was shocked to realize that Zhou Yu, a man with a great appearance and outstanding temperament, talks elegantly and knowingly, and is deeply familiar with the music and rhythm, and is a large family origin, full of poetry and learning ...... almost there is no one bad place.
When he gained Tian Kai's trust, it would be much easier for Zhou Yu to operate his means again.
When the time was ripe, he carefully designed a fierce conflict between the unimpressed Tian Kai and the violent Zhang Fei, so that Tian Kai became furious and had to catch and kill Zhang Fei, who had spoken out of turn and violated the prohibition by using military force.
How could Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who were in the same boat with Zhang Fei, sit idly by and watch their brother's impending disaster? Although they complained that he was too impulsive, they rode out of the city together before the guards who had arrested Zhang Fei came roaring in.
They are ready to go to the nearest Xuzhou first, to take a chance on the windy Tao Qian, but also to avoid the wind, and if it does not work out, it is not impossible to turn to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao.
In fact, Tian Kai is just a time on fire, only put out to kill Zhang Fei's harsh words, in fact, do not dare to really kill.
All three of them are brave and good at war, and have made great achievements in battle. The only one who is not as good at martial arts is Liu Bei, who has been a classmate of Lord Sun Zan for many years, and is used to buying people's hearts and minds, and has gained a lot of popularity in the area of the plains, where he serves as the minister of the state.
Most importantly, when they combined their efforts, even the martial arts champion Lu Bu could battle, so how could he be captured by those pawns he could make use of?
If the other party is captured, he can not be dealt with severely; if the other party is stubbornly resisting, he, as an assassin, can not even discipline his subordinates, will not be disgraced?
They were forced away directly, but instead called Tian Kai, who was riding hard, heartily relieved.
In the future, if the Lord asks about it, people have run away without authorization, it is obvious that they have not put the Lord in the eyes of the arrogance, will not let him want to hold any charge, just hold any charge?
While Tian Kai concentrated on his secret rivalry with Yuan Tan, who was trying to compete with him, Zhou Yu prepared for Cao Cao's arrival while keeping a close eye on Yecheng's movements. Only after calculating the time when Yuan Shu's troops would rise and Gongsun Zan's reinforcements would arrive, and making sure that the matter would come to fruition, did Zhou Yu write a letter informing Yan Qing of the matter in its entirety.
He also wrote a letter to his friend Sun Ce, with only a few words on the paper: Things will come to fruition, can Bo Fu come to fetch Yu?
When Cao Cao lost his favorite horse depressed with more than a thousand people, secretly arrived in the territory of Qingzhou, with his order, beforehand to find by leading the troops out, is really waiting for the Xiahou Dun and after the meeting, the first time to send a letter back to the front line of Cao Ren and others, ordered them to watch the timing, out of the battlefield.
It is not because Yuan Shao's defeat has been finalized, but Gongsun Zan has finally been unable to hold back and is going to send troops to help the struggling Yuan Shao.
Previously, in order to delay the battle between the two powers and buy more time to capture Qingzhou, Cao Cao needed to put most of his men on the line, and temporarily become a grasshopper on the same rope as Yuan Shao. Now there is no need to do so.
Zhou Yu's plan, Cao Cao was also one of those who were kept in the dark, and naturally didn't know the reason why Gongsun Zan suddenly changed his attitude drastically and was willing to dribble in this muddy water. And his go to letter is still halfway, lost a lot of men and horses, a face of dark despair Cao Ren, also by Li Dian and Yu Ban shouted to wake up.
As soon as Li Dian heard that the silver-armored general was riding his lord's beloved horse, Jedi Shadow, he finally understood Cao Ren's earlier frenzy, and was shocked, lest Cao Cao had already suffered an untimely death.
However, on second thought, he questioned: "If the Lord was killed, how could Lu Bu keep it a secret and throw away this good handle that can cause our army to be greatly disorganized? The 1,000 troops that followed the Lord are all elite, plus the Lord's battle skills, if you want them all to be wiped out without leaving someone to inform us of such bad news, it is impossible to do so without a good general and ten times as many troops."
Cao Ren also gradually came back to his senses at this time, "If it's such a large mobilization of troops, it's impossible to completely hide it from the surrounding ears and eyes!"
Yu Ban said, "This horse came in a strange way, but the Lord should be unharmed, General and patiently wait for the news, when the Lord enters Qingzhou, he will surely send a message to us."
Cao Hong also said in a deep voice: "Don't forget that six years ago, Yuan Shu's son also brought the news of the Lord's death! If we had listened to that traitor, we would not have had the face to face the Lord who had returned safely, and now you want to repeat the same mistake? That would be a sin that cannot be atoned for!"
Yu Ban and Li Dian are both calm and self-assured, in fact, they are not quite sure whether Cao Cao is safe and sound, but as Cao Cao's commander-in-chief, Cao Ren, if he were to be disorganized, it would be a catastrophe for the entire army - with Lu Bu watching from the outside and Yuan Shao attempting to annex him from the inside.
Cao Ren was persuaded by them, and felt extremely remorseful and ashamed for his previous frenzied initiatives, yet he also calmed down completely.
What Yu Ban is worried about is that Lu Bu is really capable of doing this, after all, he was able to hide tens of thousands of people from Yangzhou to Yuzhou without saying a word, while letting his men make the illusion that he is still active in the border of Yangzhou, and at the same time hibernate, waiting for the time to attack Yanzhou.
However, Qingzhou Jizhou, not compared to Yangzhou Yuzhou, not Lu Bu's territory, want to quietly enter the country, the soldiers and horses less, is not impossible, but ten times is the whole 10,000, and how can it be completely hidden from the sentries along the way?
If Yan Qing had heard them talking, he would have said back that it was indeed impossible.
Concealing the sentries was secondary to the point. How could Cao Cao be blocked with only 10,000 men? It's impossible to know which one Cao Cao would have chosen for his secret march. Moreover, Cao Cao's meteor horse scouts are no slouches, so if he were to notice, he'd be in for a rude awakening.
Yan Qing only regretted that he was negligent and forgot to tell Lu Bu about the fact that "Black Hair" belonged to Cao Cao, so that he could take hold in front of the battlefield and shout it out, and if he could sway Cao Cao's army a little bit, it would be a sure win.
Yan Qing asked, "And what do you think of Zhang He's surrender?"
They only looked at each other, smiled slightly, and said in unison, "Credible."
After Yan Liang and Wen Chou were beheaded one after another, to take the generals in the formation to gamble on Lu Bu's belief or disbelief is in itself a very incomprehensible act.
Moreover, what Zhang He did before he left has also reached their side. If Yuan Shao really has that broad-mindedness and temperament, in order to cooperate with the fraudulent surrender, even being publicly scolded by his subordinates is happy, then he would not have ended up in today's situation.
When all the matters were agreed upon and Yan Qing went to seek Lu Bu with the results of their discussion, he happened to bump into him halfway across the street, freshly bathed and refreshed.
Lu Bu knew that he had nearly caused trouble just now, and in full view of everyone, he no longer moved his hands, but with a deep face, he followed Yan Qing back to the tent, and again listened to the report in a serious manner, passing it one by one.
Yan Qing couldn't help but smile a little as she read the last entry.
Lu Bu's soul was immediately hooked by that small raised arc, and he busily asked, "What is Shiguang laughing at?"
Yan Qing said with a beaming smile, "Qing is merely thinking that the hard work that was put in earlier in the year was always worth it."
If not for the pitfalls, where would the current abundance of talent under Lu Bu's command have come from?
Strategically, there are Guo Jia Jia Deng Xu Shu Chen Gong Lu Su these top strategists to support; military generals, and Gao Shun Zhang Liao Sun Ce Taishi Ci Gan Ning Xu Huang and so on; and sandwiched in the middle of the civil and military, there is a beauty Zhou Lang.
When a new batch of talents are trained and the internal affairs side is completely filled, he can really retire to the second line and loosen up.
He relaxed in his heart, and was inadvertently emptied of his words by Lu Bu, uttering the thought of changing to a cleaner position once the big event was over.
The result Lu Bu not only did not express regret, also did not want to stay, but slightly nodded, lightly smiled and suggested: "This is just right, Bu now also lacks a heartfelt lady to preside over the feeder, with the ability to Chong Guang, only need to commission a little bit of a woman to dress up, it will be able to win the job ......."
Yan Qing was violently agitated.
How could he not hear that Lu Bu was not just saying it, but pretending to be joking, but in fact, he was seriously trying to find out what he was saying, so he hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "My Lord, this joke is really too much. Qing is a man, how can he go against the norms and become a lady? Before the Lord united the world and took the throne, how can Qing have that kind of passion to enjoy the leisure."
A lifetime on the job would be a beautiful thing compared to this option that terrified him to death.
