Lu Bu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is Shiguang so optimistic about this person?"
Yan Qing said with certainty: "This son is resourceful and good use of soldiers, pride and courage without losing cunning, if the Lord is willing to return his father's old ministry, can be said to be the best of both worlds, can be a wide proof of broad-mindedness, can also be replaced by its gratitude, and work to the death."
Lu Bu nodded without further hesitation, "Let's follow Shiguang's advice."
It wasn't purely because he was used to obeying Yan Qing's words, but rather it was a decision that had indeed been made after much consideration.
In the first break Yuan Shu, after the suppression of the Yellow Turbans, Lu Bu's men are not short of soldiers and horses, carefully selected after the integration of the elite, put back to farming is the people, but those who can be unique, good at training the soldiers to fight the generals, is never too much.
If the heart is not united and loyal, it will make it difficult for the army to coalesce and be vulnerable.
Although he has not yet seen the ability of Sun Ce, but Yan Qing eyes have always been poisonous, in the analysis of excellence has never failed, Lu Bu has full confidence in him, and logically agreed, if Sun Ce is willing to surrender, and then proposed to Sun Jian left the men and horses as a bride price full of goodwill.
This order was what Yan Qing emphasized: the return of the Sun family's old troops could only be a generous gift from Lu Bu to a favored and capable subordinate, not a condition for exchanging their submission.
After all, at present has not yet proved his strength Sun Ce in addition to his father's residual power is still outside, temporarily not worthy of this other eye, then overly raise the price of Sun Ce, not to mention, but also a great degradation of the hall of the second grade Hussar General Lu Bu's prestige.
Yan Qing asked again, "If the Lord is free tomorrow, would you like to go with Qing?"
The original thought of a small matter will not bother the Lord personally, but to crusade against the bandits, but also have to wait for the Yellow Turbans, and after the collection of Sun Ce to bring him together, unless there is an important matter in the Yuzhou need to Lu Bu turn back, but recently it is really idle.
Brushing the Lord's presence before Sun Ce was better than letting him develop a bad hobby of going hunting in the mountains when he had nothing else to do - Yan Qing had not forgotten how the historical Sun Ce had died.
Without hesitation, Lu Bu said, "May."
Yan Qing said happily, "This is very good. It is just that it is getting late, so the Lord may as well go back to his residence to rest and make plans for tomorrow?"
Lu Bu's sharp eyebrows gathered as he said in dissatisfaction, "Shiguang just received a gift from Bu, yet he won't even let you sit down for a while longer?"
Both the speaker and the listener knew that the protest was mostly a rascal, but if it got out inadvertently and was exploited, it would inevitably be a put-down.
Yan Qing laughed warmly, "My lord is joking, not to mention Chong Guang's residence, this huge Yangzhou is under my lord's rule, where can't I stay? Since I want to sit for as long as I can."
Lu Bu gave an inch and demanded forcefully, "In that case, Bu will stay here for the night."
Yan Qing calmly raised his eyebrows, "It is Qing's fortune to have this favor."
Immediately prepared a guest room, Yan Qing laughed: "Thanks to the Qing has expected this day, special search for the carpenter played a spacious enough to grow up the bed, to save always tired Lord curled legs and sleep."
Lu Bu gave him a faintly sidelong glance and said meaningfully, "Shiguang has a heart."
Even though Lu Bu did not offer to take a bath, Yan Qing, after enjoying the hot soup, remembering how Lu Bu carried that bloody tiger skin into the house, coupled with a heavy sweat, could not help but shudder, and still took it upon herself to order the maidservant to prepare another fresh bucket and send it to the guest room.
When Yan Qing, who had changed his inner clothes, came out from the compartment, he was surprised to see that Lu Bu did not stay in the properly arranged guest room, but was silently crooked on that Hu chair, reading a biography that had been casually placed on the table in the light.
However, this book was obviously not as good as the previous one, the male-male small yellow book that could arouse his reading interest, and after catching the movement of Yan Qing's coming out, Lu Bu raised his head at the first opportunity, logically reclosing the book that he had been reading with so much interest, and splitting his head to ask: "Who is the one who made the note on this book?"
Yan Qing froze for a moment, although he had only read the book in one gulp, but it was not unfamiliar - it was Guo Jia's beloved bedtime reading book that he had brought with him on occasional occasions to talk with him by candlelight and sleep together.
It seems that due to the haste of relocation, the book accidentally pulled here, and I have to deliver it for him tomorrow.
To Lu Bu's question, Yan Qing did not answer immediately, but reflexively tugged at the corners of his lips, with a hint of innocence and goodwill, and discreetly asked back, "But is there something wrong with those notes?"
I was afraid that Guo Jia had written some inappropriate remarks that were coincidentally seen by Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's reply was greatly unexpected by Yan Qing: "This person's insight has some redeeming qualities, Bu wants to use him, does Chong Guang know his name?"
Yan Qing was first surprised, then smiled and said, "My Lord and Qing see the same thing! However, you are one step too late, this person has already been recruited by Qing to take up the position of Yangzhou Beijiu."
Lu Bu let out a calm and quiet oh, "Surely it's Guo Family Feng Xiao?"
Yan Qing nodded, "Precisely."
Yan Qing originally thought that Lu Bu rarely seeks for talent, perhaps will pester a few sentences to try to will people over, do not want him to learn that Guo Jia already has a position, as if a complete loss of interest, loosened the robust shoulder and arm sinews, boomed up and asked, "Hot soup can be prepared?"
Yan Qing smiled and said, "Lord may now go to the compartment and use it."
He lifted his thin lips in satisfaction and went on his way with great strides.
Yan Qing tidied up the important documents that were placed beside the couch, waiting to be dealt with urgently, and then suddenly saw the box of gold and jade treasures that he had temporarily placed in a corner, and couldn't help but knit his brows.
He is now a powerful official, and is known to be one of the very few close advisors who can persuade the headstrong tiger Lu Bu, and is deservedly hot.
The only people who have the means to secretly send this bribe into his house are those old subordinates who followed Lu Bu from the very beginning.
Seeing with Yan Qing friendship Zhang Liao Gao Shun step by step, this is just, Jia Yan Xu Shu Guo Jia and others step up, after all, the field of expertise is different, can also endure, but even halfway out of the nameless pot filler Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao that no-name vice general Xu Huang can rely on a few Yan Qing valued all the way to the top, and there will be a cadre of them along with the Lord's campaign, born and died of the veteran generals all left behind the momentum, called the! They no matter how difficult to sit down.
It is not that they are convinced of Yan Qing, but there is Wei Xu this bloody forewarning, no one dares to go against the biggest red man in front of Lu Bu, do not serve also have to pretend to serve, there is only one way to please and make good.
In order to get Yan Qing a few words of praise, they are full of blood, from the gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, the four books and five scriptures of the literary room ink treasure such dead things, to the gentle relief of the young and beautiful girls, all have, Yan Qing, but do not look at it, to all the original return, but also go to a letter, the wording of the soft and hard, committed to these speculative ideas to put them off.
Even Lu Bu, who was a poor judge of character in history, never treated his subordinates harshly. If you want to get promoted, you shouldn't go through such devious ways - how can what you get from others' words be better than the real achievements of the battles?
So calm for a few days, Cao sex but thought that the gift is not thick enough to prepare the cause, secretly pondered for a while, ruthless and added a few layers, quietly sent.
Yan Qing to Cao sex this person did not have a star and a half of bad feelings: although he followed his boss Hao Meng rebelled against Lu Bu, but lost their way back, and Hao Meng fighting again jumped loyal, and later even set up an arrow blinded Xiahou Dun's left eye feat, is a martial arts courage worthy of praise of the healthy child.
Yan Qing stared thoughtfully at these belongings, and as soon as he had an idea in his mind, Lu Bu, who had only casually rinsed off his brown skin, slipped silently behind him, "Who sent this again?"
Yan Qing looked back and said frankly, "Cao Zhixing."
Lu Bu hummed softly, but to Yan Qing's ears, it was an unbelievably pleasant tone, "Still counting on that kid having some eyesight."
Yan Qing: "......"
What on earth is there to be happy about?
Lu Bu lazily skewed on the Hu chair and idly said, "Since he sent it, Chong Guang can just accept it. Bu just happens to need Zhixing's help, so I'll ask him to accept your favor."
Yan Qing was taken aback: "Corruption. The precedent of corruption and bribery can't be opened just like that! This cannot be done!"
He just thought of is, will be half returned, the other half simply in the name of Cao sex donations, used to purchase farming equipment or, paper into books material or, perhaps, can also lead to a wave of sending a virtuous cycle of money.
It's not that they're shy, but there's no reason to sit on their asses, and the world won't have another fat sheep like Dong Zhuo to slaughter.
If you follow Lu Bu's idea, the only one who will benefit is Yan Qing, and the consequences are even more unimaginable: the bribe-taking of Emperor Lingdi's period, and the tragedy caused by the blatant sale of officials are still fresh in our minds.
Luckily, Lu Bu was only speaking casually, and after listening to Yan Qing's righteous flurry of admonishment, he changed his tune with alacrity.
Seeing Lu Bu's light-hearted and seemingly heartless demeanor, Yan Qing, while breathing a sigh of relief, almost couldn't help but wonder if the other party was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger and was intentionally trying to test him.
Lu Bu suddenly said, "Yuan Shu, that little boy is so noisy that he wastes good porridge and good food, can he be slaughtered?"
Yan Qing did not ask him what he was doing in the prison, but only replied, "The Lord thinks he is too noisy, so he can just send him away."
Lu Bu let out an oh of interest, and at some point he moved from the rather distant hu chair to Yan Qing's side: "Where is it being sent?"
Yan Qing's eyebrows curved, the end is gentle and harmless: "Gongsun Bogui since we have our grain and grass support, great power to overcome Yuan Benchu's power, but let one side wantonly sit in the big, far less than both sides continue to play in our favor."
"Bo Gui and Shu had an old alliance, and seeing him in distress, how could he not take him in? I don't know that the danger of talking about morality and righteousness is endless. Qing dares to assert that, without the need to spend a soldier, within a month, Gongsun will certainly be born from chaos!"
Killed Yuan Shu, in addition to get a moment of pleasure, it is just to set up some immortal grudges, but also easy to grant people narrow-minded handle, really harm and no benefit.
Yan Qing had been insisting on keeping Yuan Shu, a blade that could help him kill . He had been waiting for the critical moment when the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan was on the verge of being reversed.
If Yuan Shao is so strong that he is able to outwit Gongsun Zan even when he is poor in provisions, Yan Qing will have to send Yuan Shu to Yuan Shao to see if the good-looking and indecisive Yuan Shao can be so hard-hearted as to kill his own brother; and if Gongsun Zan is better than Yuan Shu, will he use Yuan Shu or not when he arrives?
As the first son of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu is even his common brother do not look up to the high and mighty, to weave straw sandals of lowly origin of Liu Bei is disdainful of very much, the history of the history of Lu Bu had written to say 'art of life do not hear that the world has Liu Bei'.
At this very moment, Liu Guanzhang and Zhang are the most powerful generals that Gongsun Zan relies on.
Having to become a colleague with the most disdained characters was already a great shame for Yuan Shu, let alone the fact that his situation was even worse than theirs.
It would be fine if Yuan Shu was really useless, but he knows how to use a little bit of politics. But he knows how to utilize a little bit of politics and officialdom. The essence of the field, once the heart is not calm, will certainly stir up the wind and waves, Gongsun Zan underneath there is no can control the scene of the talented people, so Yan Qing dare to assert that, in less than a month's work, Gongsun Zan is going to the backyard fire.
"Well."
Lu Bu gazed unseeingly at his family's military priest's glowing and eloquent appearance, and without realizing it, his mouth was dry and his lips were dry.
