Yan Qing looked at Lu Bu's eyes full of anticipation, hesitated for a moment, and still did not want to start.
It wasn't that he was so wriggly that he didn't even feel like calling his lover by his cousin's name, but once he called it more in private, it was easy to bring the habit out on weekdays, and he hadn't been known to make slips of the tongue in similar matters.
To just Guo Jia, Jia Diao this two called the informed in front of the mistake, it does not matter, but to do so in front of a wide range of people, the consequences can be really big or small.
For example, Xu You, who called Cao Cao's son "Ah Zou" on the basis of his great achievements and friendship with him, not only angered Cao Cao, but also annoyed Cao Cao's ministers, and was not happy for long before he was killed for a reason.
Especially since Lu Bu is about to ascend to the throne, it is better to avoid these troubles as much as possible.
But to say it outright or to be perfunctory would be offensive to Lu Bu.
Yan Qing could not help but feel tricky, then a little thought, really have an idea, so he smiled and said: "A name is just, and how is it worth the Lord's concern? If the Lord has leisure time, Qing has a rare treasure, and would like to invite the Lord to come over to have a look."
Lu Bu glanced at Yan Qing and reluctantly made an appearance of interest, "Oh? Since it is Shiguang's intention, Bu will definitely take a good look at it."
Yan Qing, however, said, "Qing still wants to ask the Lord to wait for a moment so that they can make some preparations."
Lu Bu stood with his arms wrapped around him and casually said, "Fine."
Yan Qing then summoned one of his personal guards and instructed something in a low voice, Lu Bu subconsciously pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, but not waiting for him to group the vague words together, the latter had already led the order to go out.
Yan Qing took a few steps towards the windowsill and beckoned Lu Bu over.
After Lu Bu complied and did as he was told, Yan Qing coughed lightly and personally carried a chair over to him, sitting down face to face with him, before pointing at the endless expanse of the night sky and smiling, "It's almost time."
Lu Bu swept a glance with lack of interest, in addition to a few stars in the darkness, did not see half a clue, and was about to open his mouth to flirt with Yan Qing, but Yan Qing took a step ahead of him, and took the main thing to break the silence.
"What is the Lord's opinion on the attack on Liaodong County?"
The Liaodong where Gongsundu is located, just like the Jiaoshu where Shiji is located, is geographically extremely remote and far away from the Guanzhong area, which eliminates the possibility of contending for the world, but also provides them with a natural barrier - they only need to focus on dealing with those foreign barbarians who are not yet ready for the fire, and then they can enjoy a high level of peace of mind, and feel at ease with their own development.
Unlike the Central Plains, which is a place of war, you often have to face the impact of vassals and war.
To be Xu Cheng thing, Lu Bu now also has enough strength to clear the rest of the enemy, can be divided into three ways, by Sun Ce south to attack the Shijiazhuang, and then by Lu Bu rate of the main army strong Yizhou, Liangzhou, then, only need to divide the lesser part of the hold, intercepting the reinforcements can be.
Western Liang iron cavalry again brave, not to mention with Lu Bu's command of those to one for a hundred elite than, even with Zhao Yun these years leading the south to the north, fighting around the veteran of the battle, I am afraid that it is also a cut short.
The biggest problem in hardening Western Liang is that the road is too far, and there are many "old acquaintances" (Qiang Hu) who are willing to be driven by Ma Teng if he is given some favors.
Si Li area since Zhang Yang was killed by Zhang Yan, completely fallen into the realm of no master, obviously will not give Lu Bu's journey to cause obstacles, but that ten rooms nine empty, migrated out of the barren, but also not capable of providing half of the military food supplies.
As soon as the transportation road for military food was long, the danger of being intercepted and destroyed increased along with it, and this kind of large-scale battles that were fought over the years could not naively rely solely on Yan Qing's Five Grains of Plenty to provide them - even if they exhausted him to death, they would still only be a drop in the bucket.
Yan Qing and Jia Yan Guo Jia two people discussed some, with all think, do not have to put heavy troops to travel long distances, specifically to deal with the Western Liang, as long as the supply of their supplies to the situation in Yizhou disturbed, and even do not need to be pacified in one fell swoop, only to call them did not have to maintain the normal production of the time, when the attack from the collapse of the.
To overcome the difficult terrain of Yizhou, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the most ideal state is to take Hanzhong, which is the key place.
If Yizhou lost Hanzhong hinterland, is the fish meat on the chopping board, Liu Zen under the rule of Shu Han, is because of that Hanzhong that important line of defense in the Zhong will be the impact of the army declared the collapse, only so easy to a rout of a thousand miles.
Lu Bu potential centaurs, can use this as a springboard, avoiding dangerous passes and narrow roads, all the way to drive straight in, directly called Liu Yan no place to defend, directly subject to the enemy.
However, Zhang Lu, the governor of Hanzhong, is now on good terms with Liu Yan, and Liu Bei, who knows that Hanzhong is a temporary defense against foreign enemies, will surely be interested in preserving this goodwill.
If that Yan Qing wanted to make a diversionary tactic, not only was the risk not small, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to succeed if the other party was on the defensive.
The only side to disrupt the main, fractional head nuisance, playing a war of attrition to - mountains and water hazards, to prevent more than just the enemy, but also impede the reinforcements back and forth; while looking for an opportunity to rush to attack Hanzhong, and strive to take this throat place in one fell swoop.
So that the Yizhou army running back and forth, tired of running for their lives, even if they will not relax the vigilance of Hanzhong, will sooner or later face the dilemma of no food available.
Of course, according to Jingzhou Sili a place, shape around the situation of Lu Bu, it is not impossible to force a breakthrough, but in this way, I do not know how many lives have to fill into that mountain high valley deep, but also inevitably need to Yizhou hit a thousand holes.
This kind of laborious thing of tearing down the stall to pieces by oneself and then having to go through the trouble of cleaning it up afterwards is of course avoided if you can.
To let Liu Yan know, Yan Qing this brazen and shameless early in Lu Bu's ass is not even stained on that position, he has been painstakingly operated for many years of Yizhou as his own property like love and cherish, and only specially formulated under the "consume its reserves, attack on the key areas" rather than "face to face strong attack" slow! I am afraid to be angry and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Bu said: ''Let's fight them before it's too late. As that group of people have been doing a lot of mischief due to the fact that the emperor is far away, they have developed the problem of observing the sky from a well, so they will definitely not surrender sincerely and be willing to be controlled by others. When Bu sends his troops to attack Yi, he will take this opportunity to cross the sea to steal Qing and Xu counties. At that time, Bofu Gongjin has been transferred to attack the Jiaosu, there is no time to defend, Cao Cao that cunning thing is pervasive, to be careless, so that the two collusion, not to say that Xuzhou change the master, I'm afraid to leave a hidden danger."
Yan Qing nodded.
History was also able to prove that Lu Bu's off-the-cuff judgment was actually incredibly accurate.
When Cao Cao was in power in the Central Plains, Gongsundu scoffed at him, tossing aside the seal and ribbon that Cao Cao had bestowed on him as General of Wuwei and Marquis of Yongning, jokingly saying, "I'm the king of Liaodong, so what's the point of Yongning?"
He said this does have some confidence. After all, at that time, the central zone of the war, no one miss that far away in Liaodong acres and acres of ragged land, he is also quite good at fighting, to meet the battle head-on is not necessarily powerful, can take the opportunity to fish in the water, no one can do anything to him. For a time, the east hit Goguryeo, west attack Wuhuan, south to take Liaonan, even Donglai counties have not let go, not hesitate to cross the sea dyeing.
His son Gongsun Kang, who succeeded him, was smarter and more low-key, at least he knew that even if they were far away in Liaodong, they could not offend Cao Cao, who was gradually stabilizing the situation, so he continued his father's hard-line approach to the foreigners, and gave the heads of Yuan Shao's two sons, who had defected to him, to Cao Cao as a gift, which resulted in the promise of friendship and no war for the time being.
However, like his father, he did not have a long life, and his son Gongsun Yuan's IQ and EQ were not enough to correspond to his ambition. Not only did he make a fool of himself by first showing favor to Sun Quan, chopping up the messenger of Eastern Wu who believed that he was going to conclude an alliance with him and send him gold and silver, thus completely teasing Sun Quan, but later he didn't even bother to do anything to Cao Wei, humiliating the Cao Wei's mission that had honored him with an official title.
In the end, this self-appointed force of secession revealed its true heart: Gongsun Yuan simply set up a country of his own, made himself king, and wanted to be completely independent.
The name of the country is interestingly enough, it is "Yan" which Lu Bu had made a lot of efforts to get.
By heart, among the vassals, Gongsun Dushi's strength is only in the middle of the lower, but can hold on to wait for Sima Yi's northern expedition to be destroyed, but also to rely on Liaodong, a bitterly cold and remote, is a piece of uncompromising chicken ribs of the blessing.
Yan Qing said, "Fighting is not necessarily the most laborious part, it's just that just running back and forth has to be delayed much longer than actual combat."
What Sima Yi said when he promised Cao Hiei was, "A hundred days to go, a hundred days to return, a hundred days to attack, and sixty days to rest, a year is enough."
With the power that Lu Bu currently holds, it is far more powerful than the historical Cao Wei, but then it is to kill a chicken with a bull's knife, but also have to move the bull's knife to the chicken coop before you can do it, and you can't discount the days of folding on the road.
Lu Bu lightly grunted, "Haven't Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan done any real work since they surrendered? Just let them join forces and go on an expedition, and if they can't beat them, then the general shouldn't be a general anymore."
He said this in a bandit-like manner, and Yan Qing couldn't help but chuckle, "That's rather--"
The words had not finished, heard a loud bang coming from outside the window, called the original a lazy posture of Lu Bu the whole person are scampered up fast a ten feet high, doubtful to look outside.
But see the dark night. Curtain was a snow rainbow ripped open, all the way up, followed by a poof, bloomed a large gorgeous sparks to, end is colorful, beautiful and extraordinary.
This kind of exotic color beauty also attracted a burst of awe from the people in the city.
"Why is the heavens spewing fire?!" Lu Bu was shocked and said, "Such a strange situation, could it be an enemy attack?!"
Yan Qing only wanted to slightly romanticize with him, not wanting Lu Bu to think of the war aspect at once, he hurriedly said, "No, it's just a kind of flower cannon, wanting to release it specifically to show you, and hoping you'll rejoice."
Yan Qing at this time said nice, in fact, that is just he did not know the sky, fantasize with that a few hundred years after the introduction of gunpowder formula - "honey can be heated into charcoal, sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal mixed, that is, gunpowder" to make that kill the enemy to the sharp weapon.
As a result of several years of secret development, injured a lot of craftsmen, spent an unknown amount of money, but only tossed out this flashy thing, called him disappointed.
Thinking about it is also depressed, as a hall passes through the person, but can not even make a bar of soap, and still want to step up to heaven, to toss □□□?
Yan Qing in recognizing their own only a few kilograms, much clearer mind, but also become disheartened, no longer frequently asked, only with those who are really interested in the free play of the craftsmen, continue to study.
It was just a moment ago that he snapped out of it and tried to make Lu Bu happy with this failure.
In any case, when the real "fireworks" came out, but also to go to the Song Dynasty, how to say that are called fresh and interesting.
Lu Bu was blissfully unaware that Yan Qing had coaxed him as his girlfriend, and was truly captivated, staring intently at the fireworks that climbed up and bloomed, and then dispersed into stardust, fading fast.
Until the real put finished, only to be unfulfilled to Yan Qing praised: "to get the army, do that pass the signal use, but is extremely good, call heavy light trouble."
Yan Qing's expression was subtle, and in the middle of the day he answered, "Good."
Although the initial intention is not this, but from the final result, as long as you can find out a it's good use of lvbu happy on the line, regardless of what the love affair is not.
Even if it's suspected of being a cow chewing the cud, it's still his favorite cow.
Author's Note: A little theater:
Yan Qing: Come on, come on, I'll show you a big baby.
Lu Bu (taking a look): this is not big enough for you, better look at mine (taking off pants)
*new article "God's Stick" is confirmed, it's about Yan Qing and Lu Bu in the parallel world~ (no memories of this article, of course)
The personalities are roughly the same, but due to the different routes taken (Yan Qing in the new text is not a schemer, but a godly man now~), so whether it's Yan Qing or Lu Bu, their personalities will change, and the later it gets, the more pronounced the differences will become~
