Only then did Zhang Liao restrain the smile that was grinning to the back of his ears, skillfully set his face, and yelled at the few soldiers who had the guts to look toward their end, "What's there to see? Save your eyes for your own daughter-in-law at home!"

Yan Qing: "......"

Not to mention the fact that this is the same as Lu Bu's speed of changing his face, just this metaphor is used disastrously, and the moment you hear it, it is someone from Lu Bu's army.

Fortunately, the literary literacy of the others was not very high, and after receiving the anger of Zhang Liao, who had built up a lot of authority in the army on weekdays, both those who had been sprayed squarely and those who hadn't shrunk their necks, and honestly looked straight ahead without probing their heads any further.

Zhang Liao was stared at by Yan Qing's thoughtful gaze, his face flushed red, clearing his throat again, carefully asking for instructions, "May I ask Chongguang," this name is still Yan Qing repeatedly called him straight to change his own watchword, he gradually adapted to not add a 'sir' behind him, "In a moment, after crossing the Liyang harbor, which road do you want to take? "After we pass through Liyang Harbor in a moment, which way do we want to go?"

Yan Qing had already gone over the map of this time countless times in his mind, and sniffed, "Riyang Harbor? No, we're not going in that direction."

Zhang Liao was stunned.

Yan Qing laughed and said, "We are few in number, and we are all elite cavalry, so where can we not go, and where do we have to cross the river port properly? We will first follow the official road to Xingyang, cross the river from Bishui, avoid the Taihang River via Shangdang, and go directly to Shouyang to meet up with Cao Yanzhou and Bao Ji Bei."

Zhang Liao was shocked and subconsciously said, "How can this be!"

Yan Qing innocently asked back, "How do you make it impossible?"

Upon hearing that Yan Qing was heading straight for Shouyang, where the battle was raging, Zhang Liao's entire body went bad.

If the Lord knew the real destination, it was impossible to persuade him to go to such a dangerous place of war in the first place, and he busied himself by saying, "Liao listened to what Shigemitsu had said earlier with the Lord, wasn't it just to go to Dongxian County--"

Yan Qing smiled faintly, gradually revealing his true colors of being reckless and bold: "The general is not bound by the orders of the king. Wen Yuan is extremely adept at conducting battles, and should understand the importance of adapting to the situation better than Qing does."

Light to Lu Bu application to go to the East County this safe rear are grinding so long mouth skin, really tell him in fact to go to Shouyang, will agree to be called a ghost.

But Cao Cao Bao Xin and others almost all out, are in Shouyang and the Yellow Turbans fighting, and he knows that until December, the war is not finished, then run to the East County is just a waste of time, it is better to follow the Cao army from Shouyang to Ji Bei pursuit route, halfway to wait.

However, since it is a light cavalry on the road, the marching speed is guaranteed, go to Shouyang may be in addition to a wave of snow, but also by the way to see if there is a cheap take advantage of.

If the fellow general was Gao Shun, Yan Qing still had a slight headache of not knowing how to convince the other party who would always faithfully fulfill his orders to Lu Bu, but as it turned out, it was Zhang Liao, who would have to be bullied much better.

Zhang Liao's expression was incredibly tangled, but he didn't dare to rebel against the grinning military priest, so he had to forcibly ignore the strong premonition that he was going to be torn apart by his lord's hand afterward, and said stiffly, "...... In that case, Liao will obey his orders."

Yan Qing would have settled on this route, in fact, after much deliberation from many sides and multiple facets, not only for the reason that the distance was the shortest.

If you pass through the port of Liyang, a meeting with Yuan Shao's men, who have a delicate relationship with him, will become inevitable, and Yan Qing does not want to test Yuan Shao's heart and vision with his own life; if you change to pass through Hanoi and Shangdang, although the rugged mountain roads become more, but the Hanoi governor, Zhang Yang, has already had a few friendships since the time when he was working with Lu Bu in the state of Bingzhou and his relationship has been characterized by harmony, and he even attempted to send his troops to assist Lu Bu in Xiapi in the history of his emergency. He also tried to send troops to help Lu Bu when he was in need in Xiapi. Zhang Yan, the former leader of the bandits in Shangdang, who later surrendered to the imperial court, which was unable to eliminate them, saw the great threat symbolized by his close neighbor Yuan Shao, and decisively aided to aid Gongsun Zan, the governor of Youzhou, with whom he fought, and in this respect he was on the same side as Lu Bu, who secretly sent food and grass to Gongsun Zan's forces.

As expected, the journey was extremely smooth, and when it finally arrived at Cao's camp in Shouyang, Zhang Liao, who had finally tasted the taste of fear and trepidation, was relieved.

--This time the one who was frightened was finally someone else.

Although Yan Qing has revealed his intention to personally go on a goodwill mission, he has been seriously injured in an accident, and has turned his strength to developing the internal affairs of Yuzhou, assisting his master Lu Fengxian, and organizing the devastated territory into a weather-beaten and well-organized state.

The small plan of temptation not only failed, but also suffered a counterattack, even if there is the Lord who has no doubt about him on the top of the pressure, he and the famous sage Yan Qing is a close friend, but the ulterior motives of hiding the news is still quickly spread in the army.

Clearly Yan Qing this time if really come, must be bad intentions, Xun Yu really hung up for a while, but then the war is urgent, he as the accompanying army Secretary, also soon be many affairs wrapped up, this is regarded as a rumor ignored the past.

Now that he received the summons from his Lord, he did not even think about the envoy from Yuzhou, but worried whether the battle situation had changed, and rushed towards the tent where the other party was.

When Xun Yu lifted the curtain and entered, he saw his lord sitting in front of the case, staring at his brows in deep thought, seeing him come, only then smiled and said, "Can look forward to Wen Ruo came."

"See the Lord."

Xun Yu unhurriedly returned the salute, sat down sharply, and asked straight to the point: "Lord Gong urgently summoned Yu to come, but is there a change in the war situation?"

Cao Cao shook his head in denial, "Nothing has changed, everything is as usual."

Xun Yu frowned, carefully observed his complexion some, do not see the color of anxious worry, on the contrary, with a little confused and entangled, to facilitate the mind will be the recent events over the speed of a time, suddenly blessed to the heart, asked: "But Lu Yuzhou sent envoys to come?"

Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed, "Wenruo is truly skillful! It's just that this messenger is a friend of yours that you've never met."

Xun Yu's eyes widened in shock, incredulous to the point of losing his voice: "Is it really Yan Chongguang himself? How could Lu Yuzhou allow him to make this trip!"

Cao Cao was unaware of it.

In fact, after the pair of masters and ministers looked at each other with great understanding, the exact same thought came up at the same time, which was - kill!

The idea was tantalizing, but unfortunately, even if it smelled good, it was a poisoned bait that could not be bitten easily at this inopportune time.

Xun Yu stifled his wrists and said: "With this person on the side to assist, Lu Bu will be like a vicious tiger to add wings, will become the Lord's heart of the great danger, only hate at this moment, but really shall not be removed from its fangs ah!"

How can we allow others to snore on our couch?

In them and the Yellow Turbans into a bitter war, for the deer in the world to have a place and fight the head when, from the dragon's merit of the general Lu Bu has long been riding the wind straight up, in a cadre of strategists to assist in smooth sailing, straight to the Yuzhou back from the dead, and now has a few climatic, like the wings of the eagles, simply can not be offended.

Killing Yan Chongguang, who is the eye of Lu Bu's power, in the long run, the headstrong, courageous and tactless Lu Bu is not to be feared, but if he really did it, there is no long way to think about it - the tiger who has lost his arm will be furious and send out an army to tear apart the East County which has been drained of its troops, and then go all the way up to the north, and fight with them in a straight fight to the death.

Yan Qing is by no means a brave and reckless generation, he dared to take a few men and horses to run to this place, but it is not precisely the joints of the joints of this place as if it were in the palm of their hands, only to come to the emboldened, so that they are looking at the light, but not able to eat, the end of the fish bone in the throat.

Cao Cao also sighed long and hard, suddenly looked moved, said: "Wen Ruo really with that Yan Chongguang no friendship?"

Xun Yu cried and laughed, "In response to this matter, Yu has clarified no less than ten times! The reason why the Lord also take this laugh at me? Heavy light really harmed Yu is not shallow!"

Cao Cao quickly waved his hand, explaining: "is Cao miscommunication, Wen Ruo do not be annoyed, the reason why Cao has this question, by no means out of suspicion, but is the pity of this kind of good talent and beautiful jade into the hands of the reckless, just."

Xun Yu knew that he wanted to recruit Yan Qing this kind of world-class talent of the heart, hesitate for a moment, still bluntly persuade: "Forgive me for being frank, Yan Chongguang this person tsetse, no relatives, and no desire, to ordinary treasures and property grant, it is absolutely impossible to move him. Moreover, Lu Fengxian loved him very much, and when it comes to exotic treasures, which vassal's treasures are better than those of the evil Dong Zhuo? When Lu Fuxian was in a state of disgrace, he chose him as his master and was willing to follow him, and when he was in a weak position, he would not abandon him, so the depth of his feelings can be imagined, not to mention the present situation when he is in the ascendant. It's better to give up this idea before it's too late."

Xun Yu cool three words, quickly dispelled Cao Cao's heart that unrealistic fantasies, he coughed lightly, no longer long and short sighs, sincerely admitted: "Wenruo said is very true. Then at this time according to your opinion, fuck how?"

See he is not persistent, Xun Yu heart stabilized, heard a frown thought, said: "Man Cheng in Xu County has got the best of hospitality, we should also be courteous, set up a feast to treat it, to show goodwill."

Cao Cao nodded and said yes. Originally want to order down, suddenly thought of something, got up and said: "Chongguang identity is extraordinary, fuck should personally welcome, in order to show the importance."

Xun Yu will not oppose, just do not know why, there is always a vague uneasiness in the heart, called his mind is difficult.

Only forced to suppress, will set up a banquet will be ordered down, and go to inform the Xiahou Dun and other generals, in the evening and go to the banquet.

At this moment, Yan Qing, who had been politely and temporarily placed in the guest tent, did not concentrate on waiting for Cao Cao's summons, but rather leisurely strolled within the permitted range, gazing gently and kindly at the generals who came and went in a hurry and who were so elegant and dignified from time to time.

As the leader of the guards, Zhang Liao since to follow step by step, only to feel that his family Mr. a white coat of snow, eyebrows handsome and beautiful, temperament beautiful and noble, posture also fluttering out of the dust, such as a dream like a fantasy, completely unlike the mundane people.

I felt honored, and I couldn't help but take a little pride in my face, holding my chest high and accepting those scrutinizing gazes, if any.

Although he is sensitive and intelligent, but the practice is too shallow, half did not see that Yan Qing is really a tiger in sheep's clothing, ill-intentioned.
