Yan Qing saw the toe swollen seriously, although the fold is probably not folded, just put it is not a way, let the maid go to fetch some ice, wrapped in silk cloth, put it around to let it slowly reduce the swelling.
It's a good thing it's the middle of the month and it's freezing outside, so if you want ice, you can just get it locally.
With this settled, Yan Qing's heart was a little more settled, and he nonchalantly pushed Lu Bu, who was lying on his side on his bed with his eyes closed in a false sleep, and said in a business-like tone, "My Lord, please wake up first, as the battle is about to start and the strategy is yet to be finalized, it's not the right time to sleep."
He let out a long, nasal, disgruntled "hmmm" and reluctantly lifted the lids of his left eyes to look at him with a thousand tired eyes.
Yan Qing smiled faintly and stood at the head of the bed, bulldozing over and looking down on Lu Bu for a rare moment, repeating extremely gently, "Lord, please rise."
In fact, these days Lu Bu travel day and night, even the red rabbit is tired to spit a few mouths of foam, only with great difficulty to catch up in the Yan Qing again before the mission to Liangzhou rushed to Chang'an, all rely on a wave of to punish this military priest priest running around the fire can hold out until now.
Four days and four nights without closing his eyes early fatigue, head on the pillow, even more tired hate can not wake up, even if the military division of the voice again pleasant to the ear, the appearance is also pleasing to the eye, where he is in the mood to listen to some hypnotic strategy at this moment?
If it were someone else, Lu Bu would have been too lazy to open his eyes, and would have impatiently kicked the other party, who didn't know how to die, over, and continued to sleep soundly.
Even though he has always been obedient to his words Yan Qing's request, Lu Bu is also trapped only want to say "no", but his family military priest's tone of voice is gentle and soft, but the eyes are fierce staring at him, there is if he refuses to listen to the words, will be sharpened to the meaning of the pigs and sheep.
Lu Bu was silent for a moment, and tried to negotiate in a nice voice: "Shiguang has a point, but Bu is really tired, even if there is something important, why don't you wait until Bu wakes up and then make a decision?"
"Good." Not wanting to agree with Yan Qing's sprightly assent, he agreed with a grin, "My Lord has traveled for thousands of miles and is tired from the journey, it is time to take a break."
Lu Bu did not want him to blink from the hidden murderous appearance to restore the usual good understanding, heart a burst of surprise, just to hear Yan Qing eyebrow a Shu, revealing a call to all beings dazzled by a brilliant smile, gentle and tenderly asked again: "Just His Majesty's decree is also very urgent, in order to avoid missing the opportunity to fight, before the finalization of the plan, the Lord will be temporary only rest for an hour how to? "
He was so shaken up that he agreed in a confused manner.
Yan Qing was pleased and said, "The Lord is truly deeply righteous, so Qing will not disturb the Lord's good night's sleep."
Spinning around, he pulled out the thin feather quilt that had been pressed under Lu Bu and which he had commissioned to be improvised for himself, and kindly covered it up for Lu Bu - it was just that the length was insufficient, so he had to condescend to the long-handed and long-limbed Lu Bu to bend his legs.
Then he sat back on the chair gently, and only occasionally heard a few slight "sha sha" sound.
Lu Bu was both clouded by Yan Qing's suddenly excellent attitude and a bit floored by this thoughtfulness, plus he had actually reached his limit and quickly fell asleep.
Yan Qing was true to his word, and when he said that he would let Lu Bu sleep for an hour, he would not let him sleep for more than half a tea break.
When the time came, Yan Qing unhurriedly dragged his injured foot towards the bedside, and when he reached the bedside, he bent down and took the cloth bag, which was so wet by the melting ice water, from the back of his numb feet, and while there was still a small piece of flattened ice inside that had not melted strong, he swiftly, as if in a thunderbolt, lifted up the quilt of Lv Bu, who did not know what kind of good dreams he was having, and who gently and sporadically snored.
The cool breeze abruptly poured in, but Lu Bu, being too heavy a sleeper, only grumbled a few grumbles and quacked his mouth, then rolled over on his inside side and went back to sleep on his side.
Yan Qing, who was in a rage, was ruthlessly spiced up - although Lu Bu came on horseback and wore closed-crotch pants, and was not completely naked like last time, but even in his sleep, and in such a sleepy and tired situation, that huge thing between his legs was still as energetic as spring livestock, bulging up a big mountainous bag! Not to mention, the top is also wet with liquid, it is really conspicuous.
Yan Qing was silent for a moment, sharply lifting his thin shirt, relentlessly pressing that ice pack onto Lu Bu's defenseless waist and eyes-
āå·å·å·åļ¼ļ¼ā
This is not trivial, Lu Bu was frozen all over a jolt, the whole person with the electric shock as if violently popped up, where there is half a bit of sleep, suspiciously glaring at the culprit, was about to lash out, on the Yan Qing pure innocent clear eyes, but also a surprise call: "Lord can be sober?"
Lu Bu grimaced, threw the pestilent, soggy ice pack outside, and roared with rage, "Yan Chongguang, how dare you!"
Yan Qing face apologetic guilt, began to make believe that: "before set is an hour, and think of the Lord on the promises of the importance of, comparable to life, Qing lest the Lord overdue, have the words of the suspicion of faithlessness, only have to come up with the next best thing, but also hope that the Lord magnanimity, do not blame the Qing compulsion to move."
LB: "......"
The cruelest thing to do to a man who has been starving for three days is not to continue to deny him any food or drink at all, but to give him only a few small bites of delicious food, and yet not to allow him, who is more than ever famished, to continue to touch the feast that is set before him.
Yan Qing understands this reasoning, and is determined to give Lu Bu a severe punishment that he can't say what he has suffered, so he slightly tricked, and really told Lu Bu, who is still far away from having a full night's sleep, to be sleepy as if he were dying, while forcing himself to sit up straight.
Yan Qing couldn't help but soften his heart a little when he saw that Lu Bu was being fixed up so hard and still managed to hold back from losing his temper.
His intention is not to really torture his own lord, the focus is on solving the problem, and told Lu Bu can really learn a lesson on it.
So thoughtful not to start with a lengthy and uninteresting, brain-consuming and time-consuming long speech, but directly took out what he had just fiddled with for a while, "Lord look at this."
Lu Bu swept the thing listlessly and frowned, "What's this?"
Yan Qing laughed, "This object is called a sand tray."
It was a crude product made on the fly, but it was more than enough to be used only for extrapolating combat in Chang'an and around the outskirts of the city.
He did not say much, to arouse Lu Bu's interest, "do" is always more effective than "say".
Yan Qing first fiddled with himself for a while, reciting words under his breath, seeing this still full of resistance Lu Bu really can't help but stare curiously, and then explain a few sentences, see Lu Bu bright, excited to take over and play with himself.
"This object is simple to make, yet it tells the armies' military position to be clear at a glance." As an expert in military warfare, Lu Bu could not see the great value of this item, and with a stirring in his heart, he said, "I wonder if Chong Guang has a way to improve it a bit? For example, adding some colors to represent vegetation, or importing mercury to represent rivers."
China's earliest sand table is said to have come from the handwriting of the First Emperor, but that "not only with mountains, hills, cities, etc., but also with mercury to simulate rivers and seas, with mechanical devices to make the mercury flow cycle," the manufacture of very beautiful and luxurious model was brought by the First Emperor of Qin Shi Huang into his tomb.
And so the sand table this kind of tool again appeared in the world, also used in the military, then with more than a hundred years ago that well-known general, called the western Liang Ma Teng quite proud of their ancestors, FuBo general army MaYan related. Just that "gathering rice for the valley, pointing to draw the situation" of the prototype of the sand table, although the emperor got a "captive in my eyes carry on" exclamation, but also failed to promote its use in the army.
Yan Qing see Lu Bu love, but also voluntary brainstorming, which is not happy to see the reason, and then promised, and take advantage of Lu Bu's great pleasure, began to analyze the situation: "According to Qing's opinion, this game at first glance seems tricky, but not without a way to break the siege. Zhang Ji's robbing to raise the war, is by no means a long-term solution, sooner or later, to get burned."
Lu Bu raised an eyebrow, "Why is that?"
Yan Qing said with a smile: "After half a year, still willing to listen to Zhang Ji's order to gather together to follow his old troops, mostly without the banner of Dong Zhuo, the vicious tiger, living in a very unsatisfactory people, thought that following him is profitable, only willing to be called. But consumed for so long, have a home to return to not be able to, a fight on the run, look is dashing General Yi Zhen's officers and soldiers to play in the palm of your hand, in fact, since the beginning is to show weakness to the enemy, is extremely hurt morale."
"If the well-trained division of a hundred battles, listening to the orders of the commander-in-chief, had to be often routed and retreated in pursuit, there would be no great harm. But for an army with an uncertain future, an unstable military center, and a mixed and unpopular army of ranger and scattered courage, it is only a short-sighted move to seek death by constantly plundering the people to replenish the military needs."
"Lord took this matter, although there is reckless suspicion, but also not a hundred harm but no benefit. The court can't do anything about them, and they have to rely on the Lord's bravery, which is the same as letting a great opportunity to build up their prestige. The people suffered a lot, repeatedly asked for help, but never get the court blessing, it means that the Lord only need to except this thief, no need to grant additional grace, can establish virtue and prestige."
Lu Bu nodded his head repeatedly as he listened and asked, "Specifically but how should we go about it?"
Yan Qing, however, said, "The Lord should try to encourage the people to fight the stray riders before he sends out his troops."
Lu Bu stared, "What can some unarmed folk do?"
Yan Qing said seriously, "My Lord, do not underestimate the ability of the people of Lebanon. If it is explicitly stated that once the resistance is effective and there is a capture, seven percent of the proceeds will be given to those who have merited it, they will certainly not be passively beaten again."
He is by no means all based on imagination in nonsense, history in the allied forces after the defeat, Liang Xing with a few thousand foot rider fled to the Lantian area, did a robbery of the hook, called the surrounding counties trembling with fear, are avoiding its sharpness, do not dare to be the enemy.
That is still a real battlefield crawling down the regular army it, the scenery for a while, but after being Zheng Hun to the bottom of the payroll. It is first announced that the seventy percent of the seized reward meritorious, substantially mobilized the people's enthusiasm, even if they can not fight the bandits, but also can tie to their wives and daughters to force each other to surrender; at the same time on the surrender of those who do not drive to extinction, the grace and prestige, properly placed, so that they are grateful for this; so two-pronged approach, no need for a head-to-head confrontation, Liang Xing fell into a crowd of rebellious relatives away from the end of the world.
Lu Bu was still half skeptical: "Zhang Ji's men and horses are penniless, and their gains are all taken from the people; even if they capture a few, how much can be seized from them to reward them?"
Yan Qing guffawed, ''My lord is very wrong about this. The 'people' in 'Centaurs' are certainly not useful, but the 'horses' themselves symbolize a great wealth, don't they? The people collected the horses, they do not have much use for them, but we are not worried about wanting to form a strong cavalry, but facing a shortage of horses, right? We can take this opportunity to offer a small amount of grain and grass to purchase a large number of ready-made Liangzhou war horses, and also tell the people to remember the Lord's kindness, which is exactly two birds with one stone."
