Liu Qiong, who had been beaten to the door by Lu Bu, and only shed tears when he saw the coffin, was treated less favorably.
Although Lu Bu did not go as far as Cao Cao, who killed the widows and orphans who had saved him a lot of effort, he only told Liu Chong to keep the virtual title, to make sure that he had no worries about food and clothing, while the real power was stripped away.
The officials of Jingzhou were also transferred, demoted or even dismissed, except for those who were really capable.
The Cai Clan was deeply dissatisfied with Lu Bu's strong takeover of Jingzhou and his move to move his troops into Jingzhou, which was tantamount to destroying the bridge after crossing the river. However, the situation was stronger than others, they didn't dare to turn their back on Lu Bu, and they could only imply some of the small and weak clans that were dependent on them to write a letter to criticize Lu Bu for being unforgiving.
Yan Qing's response, but it is called ruthless as thunder - where there is dissent, for Cai's head, 具被清查旧账，轻则贬斥，重则抄家，一时间叫他们具都如寒寒，不敢妄动了。
Yan Qing did not intend to condone those corpses from the start, much less like the original ingrate, Liu Biao, who still fed them well.
Moreover, Liu Biao was so polite to them, and he didn't see them return Liu Biao's loyalty.
Yan Qing on these see clearly, face and do not give only know how to flatter, false slip pat horse embarrassment, only easily send them away, and then slowly and methodically sent people door to door to visit, will be really available talent one by one please to board with.
The "eight Jun Jiangxia" is not interested in Yan Qing, but long in the wisdom of Kuai Liang Kuai Yue quite valued, and the former rule of Deng Xi, Han Xuan and so on, but also think that can be used for the time being.
Among the military generals, the one who was rewarded the most by Lu Bu was Huang Zhong, the general under Liu Pan who created the greatest resistance to their taking Jingzhou and caused the heavy casualties of Zhang Liao's men; Wei Yan, the general who swore to fight to the death against Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses outside of Xiangyang; and Wen Li, the general who was guilty of defending the border against the unfavorable and begged to go into the wilderness and did not surrender with him.
Yan Qing knows that Lu Bu has his own way of employing generals, and he is very relieved about this, so he does not interfere, and Lu Bu will personally work to collect all the ministers' hearts.
He was also half idle, even much busier than Lu Bu.
After all, when it comes to the task of receiving people after capturing a state, looking at the four seas, I am afraid that there is no one more comfortable than Yan Qing, who has handled the most matters in this regard.
He skillfully straightened out a seemingly complicated matter, commanding instructions one by one, and arranging them in an orderly manner, but not in an inefficient and thankless manner, but skillfully sorting them out and assigning them to the most suitable person to do them.
This busy time was most of the month. When Yan Qing finally had the time to sit down properly and take a sip of hot tea, he then picked up the list that he had marked and looked at it carefully.
At first glance he didn't see a problem, but he always felt as if something was missing, so he thought patiently for a while.
At that exact moment, Lu Bu entered, covered in frost and wind. He opened the door and, without waiting for the wind and snow to pour too much into the warm interior, closed it heavily and strutted in, his eyes only darting toward the table before affirming, "Shiguang has finally finished his work."
Yan Qing raised his eyes to look at him and smiled, "These days, Lord has also worked hard."
Lu Bu's steps then unconsciously lighten up a few points, will cloak and robe, throw far away, before comfortably sitting next to Yan Qing: "I regret that Bu's talent is stupid, can't share one or two for Chongguang, only a few days of reward, you must not refuse."
"My Lord, do not be presumptuous." Yan Qing shook his head, smilingly saying, "As for rewards, that is even more unnecessary. In the public, Qing is the Military Counselor and Sacrificer, and is the Lord's subject, but in fulfillment of his responsibilities, how can he take credit for anything? In private, although you and I are not husband and wife, but better than husband and wife, intimate, no distinction between you and me, how would I value things outside of my body?"
Although Lu Bu loved the intimacy in these words, he still insisted on giving it, and said in a reasonable manner, "I know that you have always been modest, and you have a high moral character, and you do not want to specialize in beauty, but about this matter, you should listen to my words."
Yan Qing guffawed, "Please speak, Lord, Qing is here to listen."
Lu Bu spoke eloquently, "Although Bu is not learned, he knows the allusion to Zi Gong's redemption. It is only natural to reward those who have done good work. If the person who is the first to be rewarded refuses to accept the reward on the grounds that his performance is insignificant, who else in the situation would dare to accept it? If so, who would be willing to work hard?"
Yan Qing listened to his heart and knew that what Lu Bu had said was extremely reasonable, and that in a moment of negligence, he had nearly made the same mistake that his predecessors had made.
To do so would invariably be tantamount to holding others to an extremely high moral standard.
He happily praised Lu Bu fiercely, and immediately said, "What the Lord said is reasonable, this matter is indeed blamed on Qing being too ill-considered."
Another smile, "Then Kiyoshi will be respectful."
In any case, they won't stay in their hands for long and will have to donate them all.
Of course, this must be hidden from everyone to do, otherwise to let Lu Bu know that he rewarded his own those gold and silver treasures, has been ten not save nine, shall not make a mess, and if you call the outsiders know, in order to please him deliberately proclaimed out, that he is just icing on the cake of the beauty of the name, will repeat the Zigong ransom of the same mistake again.
Lu Bu also rejoiced and said triumphantly, "Shiguang should have done this a long time ago."
Yan Qing snickered, "Did Lord Feng Xiao learn to be so quick-witted and skillful?"
Lu Bu stroked his chin and said with a heated smile, "Rather."
Speaking of people who could speak well, Yan Qing thought of that faraway Uncle Liu in Yizhou first.
It was in this flash of light that he remembered who the person missing from the roster was.
"And slow down." Yan Qing lightly laughs and pushes Lu Bu to righteously stick over, claiming the hot body of a long-lost intimacy, "I have a matter that I need to ask an outsider about, you sit down first."
Lu Bu slightly narrowed his eyes, the bottom of his long narrow eyes revealing a few moments of insatiable depth, but still followed Yan Qing's words, slowly sitting up straight, slightly pulling away, picking up the halberd that was casually placed on the side of his body, lazily wiping the fine dust on it without a moment's hesitation.
Yan Qing raised his voice, so that his personal guards summoned Kuai Liang, warmly asked, "Qing invited Zi Rou to come, there is really a matter of inquiry, I also hope that Zi Rou will be willing to tell."
After Kuai Liang entered the door of the hall, he first bent his head and gave a disciplined salute before raising his head and looking at Yan Qing without slanting his eyes, respectfully responding.
He was half-heartedly refusing to look at the mottled tiger that was acting leisurely and harmlessly right next to the famous man with the dusty temperament and heavenly appearance.
Yan Qing went straight to the point: "Then does Zi Rou know where Yi Ji Yi Ji Bo is?"
Kuai Liang to this question was not expected, in that split second to show some embarrassment, keen to capture this point Yan Qing then suddenly a smile, certainty: "is with Liu Huangshi into the benefit to go."
Acting Yi Ji, in Liu Bei send Liu table hedge when it is very appreciated and valued, like his magnanimity and benevolence, love the people like a son, and often visit the door, the friendship is deep. When Liu Bei encountered danger, also thanks to him many times to inform the message, so that Liu Bei get the time to escape.
Since Xu Shu's death, Yan Qing has been a little more cautious in enabling history to show pro-Liu clan those characters.
Yi Ji did not hesitate to give up Liu Biao, ran to Yizhou to Liu Bei, but also save Yan Qing bother.
Kuai Liang bent down and made a long obeisance, "Your Excellency is wise."
After Yan Qing asked what he wanted to ask, he no longer stayed with him, and Kuai Liang begged to differ on this, and after a few polite compliments, he smoothly retreated and left.
As soon as Kuai Liang left, Lu Bu instantly posted back and asked with his ear, "Who is Yi Ji?"
"Well ......," Yan Qing pondered, "If it is not him, it is Zhang Song, the one who is strategizing for Liu Bei Liu Yan and trying to steal His Majesty."
The history books don't write much about Yi Ji, only focusing on him as Liu Bei's savior, and then anecdotes to prove that he was quick-witted, as well as creating Shu's laws with a few others, claiming to be in a high position, but that's about it.
However, after Yan Qing stole those glittering schemers that should be gathered around Liu Bei, it gave the man with few deeds a chance to shine.
Lu Bu asked again, "How does he look?"
Yan Qing was puzzled to hear, "It should be unusual."
Lu Bu said, "And Zhang Song?"
Yan Qing was even more confused, "Zhang Song's face is ugly like a monkey. What does the Lord care about this?"
Lu Bu held back and held back, but finally didn't: "In that case, Chong Guang should stop thinking about recruiting him."
Yan Qing finally realized it: those headless and weird questions of Lu Bu's party were just this person who, for some reason, was bored with flying jealousy.
Yan Qing endured a laugh, "When did I say that I would recruit him as well? And what does it have to do with the appearance of others?"
Lu Bu stammered, simply playing a trick and generally hugging him to death, kissing the sensitive neck indiscriminately, interrupting Yan Qing's otherwise smooth breath, that prodding question, of course, could not leave his mouth.
The most incredible thing for Yan Qing is not that Lu Bu suddenly became like a young boy in love, behaving as if he was in a state of panic and fear, and acting as if he was the enemy of love in the whole world.
Rather, one actually finds it endearing and heartening to be unreasonable for such reasons.
Yan Qing was in a bright mood, so he was generous, indulgently patting and caressing the tightly zipped muscular ape's back, letting the hot kisses swim around his body.
Until he realized a little bit ...... in hindsight and put all these weird manifestations together, he and Lu Bu, the two big old men who are not young and have children, could not be clumsily in a real love affair without knowing it, right?
Yan Qing was so thunderstruck by this speculation that was most likely the truth that he had not yet recovered from being eaten dry by Lu Bu who had gotten the better of him.
However, not long after his trance, he coincidentally realized that he and Lu Bu were not the only ones in the army who were quite seriously ill, but there were many others, just in different directions.
It started from the time when Lu Bu summoned all his staff and generals to the meeting hall for the preparation of the army to invade Yi.
With the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the climate is gradually warming up, but that's only in the eyes of the vigorous martial artists, for the physique of the weak ministers of science and technology, the outside is still so cold that people can not stand.
Even Yan Qing, who prides himself on his physical fitness, is very afraid of the cold, and when he has time, he can still endure a special trip back to the assassin's mansion, and then hang out with Lu Bu; when he is busy, he will be directly rooted in the hall where the charcoal fire is always burning.
They had been in it for a long time and had not yet realized it, but once the military generals were asked to participate in the deliberations, those generals who were fresh in blood and had just drilled their soldiers in the barracks felt the heat unbearable as soon as they stepped into the place where there were many pots of charcoal fire burning.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were no exception, they were fine, not as afraid of the heat as the rest of their peers, but they had shed their outermost robes.
Without realizing it, Yan Qing was told to catch a glimpse of something he had never seen before that was tied around their waists.
It's a palm-sized wooden sculpture.
Since Yan Qing hooked up with Lu Bu, he has more or less caught the bad habit of seeing the two men getting close and suspecting that there is something fishy going on between them, and he is no longer as upright and honest as he used to be.
This glimpse, but also in the heart of a hard thump, can not restrain the whimsy up.
Although far away, the specific appearance of that wood carving can not really see, but roughly the same, it will not be specially selected what romantic couple hanging ......
Once these speculations are born, the idea is like a wild horse that can't be taken back.
Yan Qing managed to stabilize his mind with great difficulty, and after presiding over the main event, he left the two generals behind on the grounds that he had something important to ask.
Based on the good impression he had always given, it would be easy for him to arrange an extra job for Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao without arousing suspicion.
When he was very close to the two men, Yan Qing finally saw the true face of the wood carving - Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were indeed identical, all carved with an exquisite little man in a robe, holding something oddly familiar in his arms.
Yan Qing fiercely could not recall what it was, but an extremely unpleasant premonition arose in his heart.
He looked as normal to send away two people, a turn around to draw the approximate appearance of the wood carving, drawing on paper, let Xu Chu sent people to poke around to find out what the hell is that contraption.
The result of the inquiry, however, made Yan Qing want to cry, preferring to believe that the two lovebirds had gone off to have sex.
--That hold peach little man, is the military recently emerging "peach religion" of the credentials, respect for a lot of people, just vertical people seek its blessing, but do not know the master of the Church in fact, what is the God man.
