Brick has been thrown, jasper first appeared, Yan Qing naturally through a variety of hints explicitly, from Xun Yu's hands to get a handwritten letter of introduction, and carefully put it into the sleeve.
Xun Yu see the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are all happy, obviously long-cherished wish to reach the satisfaction, the feeling of anxiety in the heart more, intuition that he seems to have done a great mistake.
To late at night after the banquet, all the people back to the tent, Cao Cao immediately called the accompanying army staff in the most rely on his play Zhicai, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu four people over to ask for advice.
As soon as the people arrived, Cao Cao did not beat around the bush and directly said, "I don't know what you all think, the reason why Chongguang had to come here in person, and specially sent a batch of grain and grass to solve the urgent needs of our army, what exactly will be the purpose?"
Although he asked three people at the same time, his eyes have been looking at and Yan Qing dealt with, or the most exchanges Xun Yu, Xun Yu helplessly bowed, said: "This person is smart and deep, and extremely good at playing mind games, Wen Ruo talent is shallow, can not penetrate its plans, only hidden guesses."
Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded after a few moments of contemplation, "Please ask Wenruo for advice."
Xun Yu deliberated for a while, said: "I've heard that Chongguang is full of wisdom, likes to plan and then move, and never wastes his efforts on unnecessary things, not to mention that he has been planning this trip for a long time? According to Yu's view, I'm afraid that because of the Yuzhou situation is flourishing, Lu Fengxian under the scarcity of usable talent, he is quite proficient in recommending talent, recognize people into the bones of three minutes, which has no one available to the dilemma of sitting back and ignoring the reasoning? So it seems, he personally prepared these two gifts, I'm afraid there is a deep meaning."
Cao Cao suddenly realized: "Could it be that he is interested in the talent of Yuan Chang (Zhong Cao's cousin), and that the gift of ink treasures and the request for a review are just a guide, and that he wants Wenruo to introduce him so that he can include the other party as a real one?"
Xun Yu nodded and said, "Lord is wise."
Cao Cao frowned: "I once heard Wenruo praise Yuanchang's skill in strategy, virtue, loyalty and righteousness, and now he is also trusted by His Majesty to take on important responsibilities, so I'm afraid he won't be able to be of use to me. That Chongguang certainly has a great eloquence, but how can he convince this person who is dedicated to protecting the Han family to turn to Lu Fengxian's command and work for him?"
Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Lord did not forget, Lu Fengxian hands still hold the rescue of the Emperor? If it is grateful to the current emperor knows the request of the Secretary, I am afraid that immediately gave the golden words, that Yuan Chang will not have the reason from, only should be ordered to serve as a road."
Said this, Xun Yu slightly pause, turned to ask since coming in after a word, the theater Zhicai, gazing thought: "I do not know Zhicai is how to think?"
Theater Zhicai due to temporary matters, and had to be absent from the dinner, but not less from the side of the mouth of the generals heard of the Yan Qing this person's beauty, talent and wisdom to talk about the appearance of all outstanding.
Seeing Xun Yu as if he was facing a great enemy, he smiled back and said: "This person's long sleeves are good at dancing, and the delicacy of his mind is not to be underestimated. Just no matter what purpose he is harboring come, we may as well stay him for some time, to wait for the labor can be."
"Oh?" Cao Cao's expression stirred, and he humbly begged for guidance, "Cao doesn't know the subtleties of this, so I'd like to ask the Military Counselor to teach me."
Theater Zhicai dashingly patted the hands of the stacked fan, suddenly will be abruptly a collection, lightly knocked on the desk, heard a crunch, he Fang light laugh, did not answer the question: "Lord may wish to imagine, if one day, so that you have to leave all of you here, how do you when?"
Cao Cao was surprised: "I can not be separated from the help of the gentlemen, if this really happens, it will be difficult to walk, like a blind man walking alone."
Cheng Yu has already reacted, sweeping away the worries of the party, hitting the knuckles and said: "A good move in the opposite direction!"
Playing Zhicai laughed: "With the Lord's sensitivity and wisdom, it is still difficult to support a single tree, and that under the banner of the withered talent such as Lu Fengxian, at this moment, how many people can still be left around to be used? If you are away from this military counselor for a long time, it will be like a tiger that has lost its direction."
It's really a one-liner.
Not only should we not avoid it, but we should also keep it well, so that Yan Qing can feel at home and forget to come back.
Cao Cao even shouted several times "good", and could not help but openly praised: "Mr. high knowledge and far-sightedness, really is the great fortune of the Cao!
Playing Zhicai smiled and replied back, "My Lord is too kind."
To be a few people will be specific matters debatable, has been the night into the third night, Xun Yu but feel unloaded a big stone in the heart, even looking at the layer of clouds closed moon bleak, but also only feel refreshed.
After the other three left, Xun Yu was about to take a step when Cao Cao called out again, "Wenruo, wait."
Xun Yu wondered, "Does the Lord have any orders?"
Cao Cao wanted to say, "About Yuan Chang's end ......"
Xun Yu heartily smiled, "彧自当修书一封，请快马送去长安，无论成与不成，定能抢先一步。"
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Wenruo do not laugh, but it is Lu Fengxian this person light cunning and unpredictable, but has a world of martial arts courage, sitting on the tiger and wolf division, and now got a great sage to help, have to be prevented."
Xun Yu thought deeply, then ashamed of a long sigh, said: "thanks to Zhicai clear vision, otherwise Yu mistaken army much."
Cao Cao said in a kindly voice, "It is indeed rare for Zhicai to have a strange plan, but Wenruo's thoughtfulness and avoidance of its sharp edges is just a matter of prudence, so what's wrong with that?"
Another good dose of relief was not mentioned.
After theater Zhicai and others gave the generals a chance to get through, Yan Qing, who had originally come to Cao Cao and the others the next day to say goodbye, was unable to say goodbye, and could not easily leave.
With the generals taking turns, it was as if he had fallen completely under the sugar-coated assault, and accidentally stayed one more day, and one more day, and one more day ......
Xun Yu returned to the tent that night, personally wrote a letter, entrusted fast horse to send to Changan's Zhong Cao, and left a heart, let people secretly monitor Yan Qing that end of the movement, to see if he has sent a letter to Zhong Cao.
The results were truly unsurprising.
However, Yan Qing seems to be not able to win the wine, that night early on the lights out to sleep, the next morning, only to react to let someone pass the letter to go, just one to be robbed of the first opportunity is still unaware of, but also he sent people in the dark obstruction, and so that the messenger is not easy to get into the gates of Chang'an, has been later than the Cao camp sent by the person of a full five days, so that he has a lot of peace of mind.
That's an afterthought for now.
First of all, not long after the arrival of Yan Qing, the front line of the sudden change, that is, Cao Cao's close friend, but also for this time the army of another general Jibei Bao Xin because of too gullible, tricked deep into the enemy line, unfortunately killed, and finally fell to the bones of the ground, so that he was too sad.
Fortunately, the war has not been lost, because Cao Cao's army is brave and good at fighting, the powerful Yellow Turbans army heart gradually broken, the news is spreading, during the period of time there is no time to be distracted by Yan Qing this end of the matter, it will be entrusted to the back of the town, take care of the logistics of the Chen Gong.
Xun Yu as the army Secretary, since the brunt of the recent busy, until today only a little free to call to Yan Qing sent outside the tent guarding the soldiers, ask about its recent developments.
That's a shocker if you don't ask.
Yan Qing hadn't had a single meal that he had used alone in the Cao camp in the month or so that he had been there!
Xun Yu face at first still only hangs the expression of disbelief, but the result is the more you listen to the more you feel wrong, and finally can't help but hold his forehead long sigh, the heart of the matter is not good, Zhicai this time can be really big mistake.
--They were so preoccupied with fighting bravely on the front line that they didn't realize that the rear base camp had been strolled by guests who had traveled from afar and didn't know whether they were friend or foe.
At first Yan Qing seems to remember to avoid suspicion, behavior is also called convergence, just randomly picked a few people to take the initiative to the door: today go to Chen Gong to sit, raise a glass of wine, play the qin wailing song, talk about the world's situation; tomorrow go to Xiahou Dun to walk, on the training of soldiers to exchange ideas, but also talk about some military anecdotes, because of quite a good match, naturally made acquaintance with his brother Xiahou Yuan and a cadre of friends; the day after to visit due to the body of the serious injury and lying in bed, guard Dian Wei, with his erudition and reading, but also a little knowledge of the medical profession, called the military doctor repeatedly nodded and said that, fortunately coincidentally met with the same visit to the sick Shu Ziwei. The day after to visit the seriously injured and lying on the bed of the guards Dian Wei, with his extensive reading, even in the medical profession is also a little involved, so that the doctor nodded his head and said yes not to say, but coincidentally coincidentally met with the same visit to the sick Zi Shu (Cao Ang cousin), and through him to recognize the ......
It didn't take long for those who were favorable to him to take the initiative to invite him to join them in the tent for a meal.
This is still light, the past few days, has been completely integrated into the atmosphere of the Cao camp Yan Qing can be said to be in the water swimming dragon, like pearl and jade bright in the rubble like delightful and eye-catching, everywhere are free to come and go, undoubtedly become the favorite of the invitation to be competing.
In the blink of an eye, this big Cao camp, there is no one who has not hooked up ...... with this kind and friendly Yuzhou to make a close conversation.
And then so let it go on, where it is still the turn of the Yuzhou Lu Fengxian square inch chaos, in case Yan Qing really have a mischievous heart, just based on his three-inch tongue and stunning style, can be compelled to shake the people's hearts, easily will be the rear of the chaos.
And said Zhang Liao see Yan Qing will be delayed again and again, really anxious, but not good to disturb the pleasure of the gentleman, just winter will come, remove the delay on the road to the time limit given by Lu Bu is not far away, he politely mentioned a mention.
Yan Qing looked at his worried but did not dare to complain appearance, felt interesting, could not help but to tease him a little, laughed: "Wenyuan do not worry, there is always someone who is more anxious than you."
Zhang Liao was perplexed and said, "But where did Chong Guang start with this?"
Yan Qing, however, avoided answering this, but paced to the tent, to the moon and stars of the night sky quickly pinch a finger count, and closed his eyes to read, and then turned to Zhang Liao to show a smile and said, "Late again but tomorrow, since there are people who want to send off the guests, it seems that we can advance a step to go to invite away."
When he did these moves, he didn't cover up, so although the Cao camp soldiers who came and went couldn't hear what he said, they were bluffed by his inscrutable stance and all of them couldn't help but look in awe.
Zhang Liao simply do not know that his military priest is purely to pass a Kong Ming set up seven star platform wind addiction, in fact, has long been from the mouth of Cao Ang young boy who did not have a door to talk about Xun Yu today back to the camp of the matter, expected the other side could not know what he did, but also the heart of the broad-minded let himself continue to hook in the back three, will have to as soon as possible to the guests will be polite to the door of the hidden trouble he swept away, and only to do this deduction.
Zhang Liao, who had always believed in his words, was overjoyed.
Yuzhou territory has been settled, the small things are not decided by the two masters, and it is the rice harvest, busy harvesting in the fall, the vassals can not pick this time not to go to the rice harvest in their own fields, but to seek their own death to come to fight the strong Lu Bu potential.
Convinced that for the time being there is no place where he can't be used, Yan Qing will get to Xun Yu's handwritten letter of introduction as the primary purpose, in fact, also regarded as a long vacation for themselves, out of the travel at the same time by the way to loosen up the soil, and can be with the future may have to become a colleague of the Chen Gong to communicate a little bit of feelings, belongs to an unexpected pleasure.
However, in order not to be detected by the shrewd and perceptive Xun Yu that the real target of his request for a letter of introduction was in fact Guo Jia, and thus to strike first, Yan Qing had really put in a lot of effort to devise this east-meets-west trick. Even in order to do the whole show, and really let Zhang Liao sent a person to Changan Zhong Cao's residence, pretending to hand over the name card.
As for the real letter of introduction, it was still lying quietly in his arms, reserved for use on Guo Jia.
