Guo Jia laughed when he heard this, "Guan Chongguang is in such a difficult situation, he must want to use him, but he doesn't dare to use him with confidence."
Yan Qing was caught off guard by his words, but he did not feel embarrassed and only calmly replied, "Indeed, this is the case. Does Feng Xiao have a good idea?"
Guo Jia asked rhetorically, "Is there a shortage of people in the Lord's account today?"
"Not really, soon when the middle school students of the Juku have finished their studies and come out, they will be even more talented." Yan Qing returned pragmatically, "It should be enough."
"Even if Cao Cao has a great talent, with the comment of 'a capable minister who can rule the world' from his son, he is only holding the power of one clan." Guo Jia laughed: "Why stick to a talent that must not be taken lightly? The reasoning of not utilizing a doubtful person, and not using a doubtful person, Chongguang must also be clear."
This is to disapprove of Deng's use of Cao Cao.
Yan Qing sighed, "True enough, he can only be detained."
Wastefulness is not the second thing, the point is so off, either off a family, or use Cao Cao as a hostage, so as to collect his ministry. The former is too much movement and will be criticized, while the latter is like a fish in his throat, and it is difficult to eat and sleep.
Guo Jia shook his head, "This is also not feasible."
Yan Qing: "Oh?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Cao Cao came here because he was at the end of his rope, but he did not make much of a grudge against the Lord. The world knows that he is educated and has the wisdom of a commander, and if he is not used as a counter-prisoner, it will inevitably be a hindrance to the Lord's reputation."
"Wenqian on the contrary, after all, the reputation is not obvious, but when you will be Wenruo, Zhongde, Frustrated and so on all the way down the use, house arrest so far, no one to hold this micro-expression?"
"The Lord has taken the Han ruler instead of the heart of the great treasure, should cherish the reputation, even if not a thousand gold to buy bones, but also need to net the world's talents of the heart to show to the public."
Yan Qing, on hearing this, knew that Guo Jia had done something for him behind his back, and couldn't help but make a small bow, "Calling Fengxiao to labor and trouble."
Guo Jia waved his hand in a dashing manner and said, "You and I have never shared anything, so why do we need to say thank you? But Cao Cao is actually a dignified character, you want to repeat the same trick, I also difficult to cover."
Lu Bu, who had been silently thinking, how to listen to Guo Jia's intimate overdone words how twisted at this moment, couldn't help but open his mouth, "Bu--"
Yan Qing and Guo Jia instantly guessed what he was going to say, with both frowning, coincidentally sideways, although the eyes are different colors, but in unison, interrupted: "Lord can never dip this matter!"
LB: "......"
After snuffing out the hint of Lu Bu trying to force his way to brute force, Yan Qing and Guo Jia were able to continue their discussion.
Lu Bu held his breath, half a day couldn't get out, seeing the two of them talking, they unconsciously got closer and closer together, practically almost sticking together, the only thing he could do was to force himself to have a bout of wild thoughts.
As a result, he really figured out something, and busily said, "It might be better to send him to Xuzhou, to be used by Gong Jin."
When Cao Cao, under the banner of avenging his father's death, killed innocents indiscriminately and flogged corpses in Xuzhou, how much pain did he feel, how much did he eat his own fruit at this moment.
Wherever Cao Cao is sent to take up his post, in time, with his ability, he will have the ability to put a distinctive personal stamp on the place, making it the foundation and backing of the people who will serve him alone.
In the future, it will not be difficult to gather troops and horses and find an opportunity to rebel under the eyes of Lu Bu.
Only the fathers and mothers of Xuzhou, who were deeply disgusted with him, could never listen to the compulsion of their enemies and follow him faithfully.
Guo Jia gave a rare nod to Lu Bu's idea and said, "This may be feasible, try it first."
Yan Qing was just about to follow suit and express his agreement when he couldn't help but laugh, "Cao Cao is still fighting in Qingzhou, we're just guessing, how can we think so far ahead?"
Guo Jia does not feel that this point forward-looking too superfluous, confidently said: "Chongguang do not have to worry about this, because this year's shortage of food, Cao Cao plundered the land to feed the hungry, has been in the winter of Qingzhou self-preservation of the residual power to take away, now scrimping and scraping, but also difficult to hold out, has been the end of the crossbow. Even if he occupies all the counties, when winter and spring come, the rest will be nothing more than a dead city. He is at his wit's end, and I am afraid that he has already had this intention, but he has no steps to take. Jia would like to send a letter to facilitate this matter, and hire him to lead his troops to surrender."
Since Guo Jia had volunteered, Yan Qing did not object, "In that case, I will be obliged to Feng Xiao."
Guo Jia and Lu Bu have never taken Cao Cao seriously, not even when he was in Yanzhou, let alone today, when the tiger has fallen from the sun and is being bullied by the dogs, and has lost all his territory.
It was also infected by Yan Qing's prudence that made him think of the situation in the grimmest terms.
Yan Qing was actually driven by their understatement and gradually thought about it.
The Cao Cao of this moment is not at all the lord who created a grand and domineering career in history, but just a vassal who has some ambition, is tenacious and powerful, and is quite good at fighting and buying people's hearts.
Imagine that the times make heroes, the chaos of the world out of the great and powerful, with him to help Lu Bu to take the first step, take advantage of the first opportunity, Cao Cao in the end is not the reincarnation of the gods, even if they are again good at seizing the opportunity to make a splash, in the big picture when the time is gradually set, can not afford to turn over what the wind and waves.
If he was allowed to be the governor of a county, then he would have a reputation that was within his control, and he would be able to bring the talents of a 'capable ruler of the world' into play, so it would be the best of both worlds to look at it.
Even if Cao Cao is not genuinely working for Lu Bu, it's not something that is unacceptable. Not to mention the other things, the big families in the various counties are only submissive and willing to follow Lu Bu's orders because he has a big army, but it doesn't mean that they are loyal to him because they put their family's interests above all else.
Lu Bu is like a ferocious tiger that has suppressed the wolves with evil intentions to death, if he shows any sign of decrepitude, I am afraid that they will be the first ones to rebel and take their place.
Of course, as a precautionary measure, Yan Qing still decided to select a cadre of suitable candidates to secretly monitor the Cao clan, and if he spied any signs of misbehavior, he would immediately kill them.
Cao Cao is also the man who hanged and killed Lu Bu at the White Gate Tower, so once he might not be able to do Lu Bu any good, Yan Qing can be more ruthless than anyone else, so where would he find the extra heart to regret that he can't fulfill his ambitions?
The big deal is that he will be the only one to take the blame for killing his men indiscriminately. Lu Bu will only be responsible for writing a eulogy and presenting it to the court, and then he will be able to get away with it.
Guo Jia was just about to take his leave when Lu Bu asked, "What should be done with Cao Cao's remaining 20,000 soldiers?"
Breaking up cannot be done, and it is not reassuring to have them follow their old masters.
Yan Qing and Guo Jia but looked at each other with a smile, blandly said: "Generals with his conquest for many years, always far away from their homeland, it is inevitable to miss their families, this will be a temporary break in the war, but also when to let it return home."
"In any case, what Cao Cao eventually brings into Xu City will certainly not exceed five thousand."
Cao Cao is tough, capable of yielding and stretching, and good at sizing up the situation and being flexible. Once he makes the decision to submit to the people, he will only do everything perfectly to show his sincerity and do his best to win Lu Bu's trust.
How could you bring so many people and cause suspicion for nothing, a move that could be called self-seeking?
Even without using this reason, Cao Cao would have had another excuse to disband most of his troops.
There's also the possibility that Cao Cao refuses to stoop to the level of the others, and has set his mind on fighting them to the end in a bloody battle to the death, but that's almost as slim as it gets.
If he is really willing to mantis blocking the car, there is nothing to be entangled scruples, strong push to kill can be.
After Guo Jia left, Yan Qing and Lu Bu did not linger here much, but first returned to the mansion to formally bathe and eat.
Only just entering the inner hall, Yan Qing was in a small state of shock.
The young man sitting steadily at the table, looking at the many landscapes and paintings hanging on the wall in a reserved and elegant manner, is not precisely the righteous son Lu Xun, whom he has just taken in and has not yet made known to the public?
"Father-sama."
Hearing the commotion at the end of the foyer, Lu Xun got up unhurriedly, turned around, and bowed respectfully, his ebony eyes sparkling as he looked at Yan Qing.
Yan Qing has always been the tongue of the lotus flower, was actually too polite Lu Xun to provoke a time I do not know what to say, only a slight smile, one side in front of him to sit down, one side of the cordiality back: "their own home, do not have to be too scrupulous etiquette, I know that you filial piety, the intention to receive, just to please the peace, can be dispensed with in the future."
They had gone out before dawn and had only just returned just after noon, and Lucien had waited with such dead determination.
Lu Xun heard a stunned, the bottom of the eyes of the bright light will be little by little dimmed down, he dropped eyelids in time, back to the tone of voice is still gentle, can not hear any low mood: "Yes, in the future will not be lightly disturbed father."
Yan Qing self-confessed is also known as the eight-sided and exquisite, the old grease, but a pair of look at the reserved and introverted, in fact, the small expression will be the point of adoration and admiration to the exposure of the young teenager Lu Xun, somehow, there is always a kind of inhibition of the sense of caution.
As if afraid of a sentence did not say well, will be this sensitive and delicate juvenile feelings to the bruises to go, not like in front of the others that are like a fish out of water at ease.
Oddly enough, this fresh and odd taste did not call him displeased.
See Lu Xun this heart clearly because he refused to ask for peace, less opportunity to get close to him and not very good, but also forced to hold back not to show. Pretending to understand the good behavior, Yan Qing could not be seen, a slight smile, said: "Although the invitation is exempted, but the breakfast and dinner, according to the rules of the family, but need to be used together."
After thinking about it, he added: "My son, in the future, if you have any problems in your studies, if the teacher and head of the school can't solve them for you, you can come to the study and ask me. As long as I am not busy with official business at that time, I will certainly try my best to solve your problems."
At the end, he emphasized, "If you had not been coming, I would have thought, on the contrary, that you were unwilling to be close to me."
Although the words were full, Yan Qing was mentally prepared - if Lu Xun asked questions that even he could not answer, he would have to brazenly ask Guo Jia to go.
Despite the excellent luck of accepting Lu Xun as his adopted son, Yan Qing neither had the skill nor the ability to keep him at home to teach him personally, but decided to let him continue to go to the Shezhong to further his studies.
About these, thought to accompany the army to Qingzhou to discuss Cao's Yan Qing, have been in last night before going to bed to make specific arrangements, that is, the idea of Lu Xun for days on end, today only let him at home to rest for a while.
As it turned out, this good intention was destined to be in vain; Lu Xun was simply not someone who would indulge himself in sleeping just because he was physically tired.
As the saying goes, three nights of lights and five nights of chickens, as soon as the day dawned, he got up and proceeded to sit here patiently waiting, just because he was thinking of giving Yan Qing a good morning.
If it is not the housekeeper to persuade this extremely filial, but in this regard extra stubborn not listen to persuasion of the young gentleman with the morning meal, but also afraid of him freezing, and took the initiative to move two burning hot fire pots, to Lu Xun's amazing stamina, I'm afraid of just holding in the hands of the two volumes of the book, placed in the cold room, freezing mouth and lips bruises, but also able to calmly self-satisfied to the moment of the stars as a dipper.
To formally enter the school, Lu Xun as Yan Qing personally recommended the interlude, the teachers since they are also clear that his identity is extraordinary. How much reverence Yan Dahonglu, how much can not help but take care of him some extra, as if this will be able to turn those enthusiasm.
And Lu Xun heart penetrating, and did not fail to live up to this other eyes.
He is humble, hiding the sharpness of the internal restraint, despite the first arrival, but has been well liked by his classmates. And gifted, outstanding academics, since the teacher praised, and soon became in the schoolhouse comparable to Zhuge Liang, outstanding characters.
Son's performance, as the father of Yan Qing since also with the honor, uneducated stupid father's skills - will be written full of praise and the results of the top school results of the report card one by one framed, labeled year, easy to collect, at any time to take to appreciate a pass.
