This head of Yan Qing is waiting for a long time are not waiting for the following, raise their eyes to look, precisely on Lu Bu's straight line of burning vision, can not help but a sharp jolt, carefully asked: "Lord?"
When Lu Bu was called by his soft voice, the unexplainable tumult in his heart faded a little, and after returning to his senses, he began to search his mind, racking his brain in order to respond to Yan Qing's question.
After thinking for a while, he smacked his lips and tried to say, "Is it for the sake of showing that although we intervene in the matter of Yangzhou's assassin, we do not have the intention to cross swords with Yuan Shao's power?"
Seeing that he really has the beginnings of enlightenment, Yan Qing was both pleasantly surprised and gratified, and laughed heartily and said: "My lord is wise! Yuan and Cao have long been separated from each other, and after he has cleaned up Gongsun Zan, a strong enemy who is strong and lacking in strategy, and has no more worries, he will regard his former friend Cao Mengde, whose territory borders on his own, as a great danger to him, and the time to turn against him will be just around the corner."
Lu Bu lifted his eyebrows and calmly responded, "Uh-huh."
Yan Qing also said: "We have already taken Yu and Yang states into our hands, we can stay out of it and wait for the opportunity to move, why would we want to offend Yuan Shao, who is a powerful man, for no reason at all? Moreover, at that time, the Lord can perform the art of vertical and horizontal, united with the Hanoi Zhang Zhi Shu (Zhang Yang), North Sea Kong Wenju, just into a closed circle, whether it is the snow in the charcoal, or fall into the well, are all hand to capture."
This is also considered a kind of Yang plan, even if Yuan Shao knows that they sit on the mountain to watch the tiger's plan, and then hate their teeth itching, it is impossible to not let them as they wish, after the pacification of the Hedong not to stay still; and he wants to expand outward, stationed in the Central Plains, the first geographic barrier faced by Cao Cao's jurisdiction of the Yanzhou and Qingzhou two states.
The price Cao Cao paid for ceding the two states, which had a large number of farmers and laborers, was also extremely high - he had to face a direct attack from the most powerful Yuan Shao army, which was unavoidable.
However, it's too early to talk about this, especially since the landscape is ever-changing, and who knows whether Gongsun Zan's army, which is financed by Lu Bu's grain and grass, will be able to beat Yuan Shao's vitality with a single blow, making it difficult to unify even the four eastern states of the He Dong, not to mention pointing his troops to the south?
What Yan Qing was more concerned about was whether or not the other matter would happen according to the trajectory of history.
As soon as Cao Cao gained a foothold in Yanzhou, he rushed to pick up his father, Cao Song, in the fall of next year to enjoy his happiness, but he didn't want to be intercepted and killed by Tao Qian's henchman, Zhang Lo, regardless of whether or not it came from Tao Qian's instructions, and regardless of whether Cao Cao's failure to send someone to pick him up in person was unintentional leniency or intentional ruthlessness, in any case, this score was settled in the head of Xuzhou Bo, which gave Cao Cao, who wanted to avenge his father's death, the reason for his invasion of Xuzhou and his massacres, The reason for this is that Cao Cao was eager to avenge his father's death by invading Xuzhou, killing and massacring the people without any fear.
Tao Qian, who is unable to fight Cao Cao's powerful iron horsemen, is full of worries and sends letters around to ask for help. After Liu Bei and Tian Kai lead their troops to help, the battle, which has been a total loss with no way to fight back, finally turns around and reaches a stalemate.
As Cao Cao ran out of food and supplies and retreated, the biggest beneficiary of this catastrophe was Liu Bei, who was able to take over the large Xuzhou state left behind by Tao Qian, who had died worrying about Cao Cao.
But with Yan Qing around, I'm afraid that this time around, Uncle Liu won't be able to be this behind-the-scenes winner.
After being praised for his guess, Lu Bu couldn't help but raise his motivation a bit and asked again, "Yuan Shu has captured Shouchun, but the opportunity is ripe for us to send out our troops to make a hasty attack?"
Yan Qing likewise tasted the sweetness and refused to reveal the answer directly to him as usual, fostering the bad habit of inert thinking and relying on his counselors, so he asked in return, "Please try to think of it, my lord, what are the advantages and disadvantages of sending out an army to cut down the art at once?"
Lu Bu snorted lightly and laughed scornfully, "Art that little child is not an enemy, what else can he turn the tide? Within three days, I will definitely call for the city to be broken."
Yan Qing in the past on the most like Lu Bu this side of the only egotistical, on the single take hold of the war who do not see, the old man is the world's first crazy strength, at the moment even more feel that he is now intended to be this dejected and tailed appearance is very interesting.
And can not help but think that is of course, after all, is to their own long, hit the short, and is the surprise attack, Yuan Shu if that improvised military skills, will not be mixed into this, and his brother just frontal to fight three hundred rounds of the early.
"My lord is wise and godly, invincible in battle, martial arts bravery cover the world, everyone knows also, under the command of the generals are also amazing, refined and strict discipline, the military front is steady and healthy, the district Yuan Roader, color and courage is thin, the separation is not clear, will be proud of not tame, the military heart is scattered, how can be worthy of being a rival?" Yan Qing smiled and patted a series of horse's ass, then said: "However, although the war opportunity, the march should still be hidden as the top, avoiding the art of the main, supplemented by the attack on the city, may as well wait for another day."
Lu Bu stared in disbelief, "Why is that?"
Yan Qing explained: "Your Lord's reputation precedes him, and wherever the cavalry goes, the enemy will be terrified, but there is the suspicion of alerting the snakes. Art has always cherished his life, and will definitely defend the city, and if he fails to ask for help, he will definitely look for an opportunity to escape. Even if the siege is impenetrable, with the courage of the elite to die to protect a person to break out is not difficult, and when he returned to Nanyang, will be cowering, want to catch out not only time-consuming and laborious, and I'm afraid it is difficult to realize."
"At that time, although you can easily take Yangzhou, but ran away from Yuan Shu this big fish, is not precisely because of small losses?"
Although Yan Qing is sure that the officials sent by the imperial court in name only, painstakingly only get an empty shell of Yangzhou, but in the end not as good as the name to be comfortable. Even Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and others can openly and honestly in the position of a state assassin placed close friends, why they have to beat around the bush, hiding it?
Lu Bu suddenly realized, in marching and fighting, he is far more expert than Yan Qing, who is actually not even half a bucket of water, and is only very good at bluffing the speculative party, and only needs a little bit of enlightenment to be able to cite one and reverse: "According to Chong Guang's intention, but to slow down the march, so that the art is lightly, and then after Shou Chun deployed his troops and went out on the march again, he took advantage of the void in the city's military strength to take it, and then wait for a rabbit to wait, and then wait for the art to return, and then capture the king in one battle. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it."
Yan Qing smiled and nodded, more and more felt that his good days of begging for leisure and retirement were not far away: "Ran also. Although this is time-consuming, it is much more secure."
Lu Bu's throat knots rolled, and he was about to say something, when Zhao Yun, who had been given to Lu Bu's army by Gongsun Zan as an addition to the friendly price of grain and grass, lifted the curtain and ran in, reporting joyfully, "Chongguang really was right, this person is really Yuan Boye!"
When he learned that he was casually abandoned by his old master, Zhao Yun, although he was quite kind to Yan Qing and the others, was also inevitably a little sickly from the humiliation, but Lu Bu did not hide his admiration for him, and he did not hesitate to vigorously promote him, so that he jumped from the mending pots and pans that ran around for Gongsun Zan's army to a vice-general at the side of the lord, assisting him in commanding five thousand soldiers and horses.
Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, Yan Qing is also genuinely happy for him--who can't see that the reason why Lu Bu specially put the brave Zhao Zi Long beside him as a vice-general is to make it easier for him to brush up his seniority and get promoted, so that he can lead an army alone at an early date?
In order to afford this appreciation, deeply touched Zhao Yun very quickly swept away the disheveled state, fully committed to the new work, with his ability, since it is easy.
Only, everything has its disadvantages, in Zhao Yun conscientious at the same time, accustomed to being Yan Qing soft voice half coaxed half persuade Lu Bu, also tasted every day was against the ear of loyal advice to beat the ear of the painful taste ......
So much so that the moment he saw Zhao Yun's righteous face, Lu Bu's face unconsciously began to turn foul.
Yan Qing is oblivious to the fact that Zhao Yun is full of vigor and radiance, he can't help but rejoice in the fact that the talent he took the trouble to dig up has been reused, and smiles as he flirts with a sentence, "I haven't seen him for a few days, but Zi Long has already made his way to the top of the ladder, and Qing didn't have the chance to offer his congratulations, which is really a pity."
Zhao Yun is extremely surprised, even Changshan accent are not careful to run some out: "Chongguang this is saying what words? Didn't we meet yesterday?"
Yan Qing: "......"
He was actually speechless.
Leaning on the soft cushion Lu Bu, see the situation playfully raised eyebrows, uttered a laugh, lazily help to relieve the siege said: "Zi Long will point on 800 men, this trip as a vanguard, into the night with the cloth out of the army, the rest of the men handed over to Fu Yi to take over, a day later and then pull out the camp to follow up."
This, however, went against what Yan Qing had suggested earlier.
Yan Qing couldn't help but look at him sideways, seeing Lu Bu's deep gaze and inscrutable demeanor, a look of determination, he was relieved to be silent and didn't voice any objections.
"As you command!" Zhao Yun also does not dwell on the previous questioning, got the task, clanging his fists, after answering is about to turn around and leave, then violently remembered what, hurriedly back, to the unknown Yan Qing apologized a bow, whispered: "Look at the heavy light to see forgive, Yun always do not like to drink, the house also does not have a lot of private stash, the only Lord reward mostly, even if again sent to ask for, the cloud is really no wine can be given. "
Yan Qing froze at hearing this, only realizing what was going on after a long while, his face turning ironic in a split second.
What a - ghost - talent - Guo - -Feng - Xiao!
No wonder that the part time military advisor of the big drunkard on the rule of half an altar a day can really do honestly comply, but also a sweet as a syrup, not thinking of returning to the satisfaction of the look ...... actually find another way, in his name to send out the valet, picking the mouth of the honest people to ask for wine to give their own meal!
Thanks to Zhao Yun, who was so sentimental and remembered Yan Qing's kindness, he was exploited for more than a month without knowing what was going on. Without knowing the circumstances, Zhao Yun was exploited for more than a month until his salary was declared exhausted, only then did he apologize to Yan Qing with a sense of guilt for taking the blame for no reason!
Lu Bu on the surface is comfortable squinting fake sleep, in fact, perked up his ears have been listening to this end of the movement, suddenly woke up, the original drooping eyelids abruptly raised, first sternly glanced at the face full of righteous exhortation of the vice general Zhao ZiLong, and austere glanced at the face of the expressionless altar Yan ChongGuang, the reaction and the previous conversation combined with a thought, unpleasant questioning: "ChongGuang when again in the mansion hiding outsiders again?"
Yan Qing then remembered that he had not told Lu Bu about Guo Jia, but at this time he could not tell the two to meet, and it would definitely have the opposite effect of looking at each other, so it would be better to hide it for a while.
So only calmly back: "to the new friend of the meeting of the text, because of similar interests, just stayed in his residence for a few days, the Lord if you have the elegant interest of dancing and ink, Qing is also happy to introduce."
Lu Bu was half convinced.
After listening to Yan Qing's glib explanation, although his mouth coldly "oh" as a response, did not continue to pursue the question, but his eyes have never moved away from Yan Qing's face, look at the tiger's eye gesture, obviously can not be said to be convinced.
Yan Qing also inconvenient to say more, for fear of overdoing it, the opposite appears to be the desire to cover up, calmly and freely digresses from the topic, in a few words, finally brought this crop away.
Also do not know whether it is an illusion, Yan Qing vaguely feel that this seemingly simple-minded, limbs developed Lord, is more and more difficult to fool ......
