Only after Yan Qing had almost finished his kanji and ordered the dazed Xu Shao to be sent to the mansion he had arranged for the party, did he suddenly remember that his own lord was still being hung out to dry by him in the inner hall, waiting honestly.
Not realizing that the plan could not catch up with the changes and did not let Lu Bu come in handy, Yan Qing cursed himself and hurriedly lifted the curtain to enter the room, ready to ask for forgiveness.
Then he saw Lu Bu crookedly leaning on the long collapse without any haste or annoyance, the back of his head resting on his arm, with a look of wandering and drifting in a trance.
What's going on here?
Yan Qing was a million times more puzzled, calling out softly, "Lord?"
He was so disoriented that he just sat up woodenly, "Oh? My turn?"
Yan Qing subconsciously took a step forward, stopping him and explaining, "The matter has been decided, laboring the Lord to wait for nothing is Qing's fault, please punish him."
Lu Bu gave an expressionless oh sound, and it was only after a long time that he really reacted, smacking his lips with both a few moments of incredulity and a few smudges of unfulfilled interest, "It's already done?"
Yan Qing was filled with suspicion as he surveyed the Lord who was clearly out of sorts, indescribably similar to Guo Jia who had just knocked out Wu Shi San causing his entire being to float in the clouds like he was out of sorts, until he heard him gradually come back to his senses but still absentmindedly responded, "Uh-huh."
He has a penetrating mind and knows it quite well, so if he can't see it, then I'm afraid that the world won't be able to find a second person who can penetrate Lu Bu's state of mind at this moment.
Lu Bu was still immersed in the wonderful phantasmagoria of being gilded back and forth with several layers of glittering gold by his beloved sir with overflowing praise, and becoming a golden and shining idol, so happy that he was not willing to wake up for a while.
Regardless of anything else, Yan Qing saw that even though he had waited in vain, he had half an intention of punishing himself, so naturally he would not be idle enough to ask for a beating, but instead turned the page by going along with it.
He thought for a moment and said in a serious tone, "There is still a month to go before Zi will reopen the Moon Day Review, the Lord should be a little calm, one side of the usual army to crusade against the thieves and bandits, and one side of the wait for the good news."
"Whatever the characterization given by the son will be, I hope that you will treat it normally and remember to be very happy and angry."
Lu Bu scoffed: "As long as I can get Chong Guang's affirmation, how those grasshoppers look at Bu in the fall is none of Bu's business. As for the egg evaluation," he paused and whined in disgust, "it's just a bunch of people who have nothing better to do than to fiddle with their pencils all day long, impeach this and spit on that when they look at someone and see that they don't like them, and who pretend to be worried about the country and the people, but when it comes to the end of the day, they just dare to run away with their families, and they are just some bullshit literati, who purposely make this to raise their own value, and then promote their colleagues of the same rank. The price, and then promote the same rank colleagues of the Hall of Fame, even if you get a sentence of abuse, in the cloth does not hurt, and get his affirmation, there is nothing to rejoice in."
Yan Qing corrected in tears and laughter, "Obviously, it is a monthly review, by the beginning of the month out of the meaning of the review, how in the mouth of the Lord, confused into an egg review?" He also dan dan noodles.
Although he loved Lu Bu's proud appearance of being the only one who is honorable and domineering, and not being disturbed by gossip at all, and was also stirred by this handsome face that expressed disdain by lifting his thin lips, seemingly smiling, but not smiling, and looking down upon all living beings, he still stabilized his stance.
Although he boarded a handsome face, but can not help but soften the voice, good persuasion: "Lord can not be so think! Zi will be aware of the ability to raise a scholar, but also has a good reputation outside, for all to see, extremely sought after. Publicly evaluating people, even if there is a suspicion of fishing for fame and reputation, claptrap intention, but the world is not perfect, but he loves some vanity and fame, it is also understandable, should not be desirable to reject all of them. Qing is by no means a sage, but due to luck, fortunate enough to take up the false name of a wise man just, really shameful."
"What's more, people say that the wise man must have a mistake, even if the head of a hundred words a hundred, you as a power proud Jie masters, but also should not be a family of words as the benchmark for action, but should be open to the wise man to receive advice, brainstorming, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and there is a tolerance for the heart of the faithful and the deaf. And then look at the strategists under your command, whether it is far away in Xu County, Wen and, or close to the side of the Yuan straight, are ......".
Lu Bu listened patiently and finally nodded and said sincerely, "What Chong Guang said is reasonable, Bu also knows, just because it is rare to be alone with Chong Guang, his heart is happy, so he can't help forgetting and showing his true intentions. In the future, I will be careful with my words and behavior, and will not speak delusional words in front of outsiders."
When Yan Qing saw Lu Bu's face of obediently being taught and vainly admitting his mistakes, his heart, which was already devoid of any anger, couldn't help but soften a few points, and even though he felt that this didn't sound quite right, he didn't want to pursue the matter now.
He then put away the attitude of business, relax, smiling and openly flirting, but in fact a good understanding of the steps to pass: "How is it rare to be alone? It is clear that the Lord has been going out early and returning late, refusing to meet with Qing, and now it seems that we have to thank Zhang Xiu that little child in Chang'an to make waves, so that Qing has a reason to call you to have a catch up."
Whatever temper tantrums Lu Bu was having by avoiding it before, it was time to go along with the steps.
Not only that, Lu Bu heard the sound of the strings and know the meaning of elegance, one step ahead of Yan Qing wanted to hear the words to say: "Hunting in the mountains is just rely on the strength of many people, sharp weapons, to find some bare hands of the animal's bad luck, there is a suspicion of victory, but also easy to give the demons and monsters can take advantage of the opportunity to not go also."
Yan Qing was so pleased with his old age that he couldn't help but pat him on the back of his broad, thick hand and praise him, "The children are teachable!"
Lu Bu this time is the reaction of a thief fast, in the Yan Qing shot when you want to draw your hand, a sharp reversal of the palm, tackled a solid, rightfully clutched, so that the other party can easily break free not to open.
Feeling that soft and boneless cold delicate, he rippled the spicy heart of the apes, and mixed a few flavors of the sweet satisfaction, but the face does not show signs, a serious even eyelids are not raised: "Chongguang Huo want to bully cloth is not good at literature and ink, take advantage of this, this child refers to some children are children, cloth is very clear."
"District jokers, the Lord is generous, do not count these with Qing."
Yan Qing was unaware of it because it was too smooth and slipped out, but also was caught by Lu Bu, a moment of unspeakable embarrassment, only snorted, three words to muddle through, finally rescued because of the rashness and misery of the claws of the detained.
It was also that Lu Bu's grabbing of his hand was so natural and frank that it didn't make a few ambiguous bubbles before it dispersed without poking.
Just before Yan Qing retired, Lu Bu suddenly remembered a crop, then said: "Then again, Bu recently traveled around hunting, southbound to the area of Jiu Chao, listening to the people in the countryside mentioned the name of a person, mostly praise praise, then could not help but stay some attention, to the details to probe some."
Yan Qing did not expect the progress of Lu Bu, who had always kept his ears open to things outside the window and had lifted his halberd to chop when things came to a head, to be a day's progress, and even when he went out to play, he still had the heart to pay attention to all this, and was instantly tuned up, "How exactly did it say that?"
Lu Bu stroked his chin and enjoyed Yan Qing's expectant gaze for a while before slowly and methodically saying, "This person's surname is Lu Su, his name is Lu Su, his character is Zi Jing, he is from a scholarly family, not long after he was crowned, but he has a chivalrous reputation for being righteous and generous with his money, and for helping the poor and needy. Although not have time to visit, cloth but feel that this son must have extraordinary place, I do not know how Chongguang think?"
Hey! Lu Su!
Yan Qing was flabbergasted, and then chagrined: he had forgotten all about this strategist-cum-diplomat who would later become Zhou Yu's closest friend and deep thinker!
Compared to the later world famous, currently still a top bag head of beans of Lu Xun Zhuge Liang, Lu Su is undoubtedly much more when the use of.
In particular, he was in dire need of a supporting official and could not afford to miss it.
Lu Bu initially looked at the unpredictable change of expression on Yan Qing's face, leaving him aside and pondering seriously for a moment.
Then there was a flash in front of his eyes, and it was the Military Counselor Priest who always emphasized on the phoenix-like gesture that suddenly made a carp jump up and leaped up from the edge of the couch without uttering a word, and then rushed straight to the public opinion maps resting on the wall of the outer hall with an arrow step.
Although Yan Qing and Lu Bu's status is not what it used to be, but even without mentioning Lu Su's own talent, just based on the fact that he is from a scholarly family, his family's wealth is very rich, he is well loved in the countryside, and he has a lot of people under his hands, it is worthy of being treated politely by any party's power masters.
The careless omission of Lu Su, who was close at hand, reminded Yan Qing that one of his initial intentions in insisting that Lu Bu take over the Yu and Yang states was precisely to facilitate the harvesting of local talents.
In terms of population, Yanzhou, with a population of about 4.04 million, is only about the same as Yangzhou, with 4.33 million, but when it comes to population density, Yangzhou, with its sparsely populated and poorly cultivated land, is far worse off than Yanzhou. The land utilization rate was only three-tenths of a percent, the level of development was pitifully low, and the forested areas had many mountainous ethnic groups active in them.
But for Yan Qing, the fact that the land is not favorable for cultivation can be solved to a large extent by implementing the strategy of tuntian, distributing, popularizing and improving agricultural tools, and building irrigation facilities. As for the conquest of the Shan Yue, they have limited energy, there is no good way to deal with it, the only way is to clean up the middle area, the more remote put aside for the time being.
The most important wealth, or as long as to guard this large future of the foundation of the East Wu, can be scavenged for a large number of talents that can be of great use.
Before the 'Prophet' ability loses its effectiveness and he can no longer help Lu Bu, the most important thing for him at the moment is to grasp every second and try his best to help Lu Bu to expand his territory, recruit troops and horses, and establish a mature and usable system of good talents.
Yan Qing quickly worked out a new route, turning around to coincide with Lu Bu, who was following him with a bewildered look on his face, and suggested excitedly, "My Lord, what do you think of this? The vanguard has been set to be the two armies of Gongming and Bo Fu, so you are not in a position to compete with your subordinates for the credit, so you might as well take a long detour and make a trip to Dongcheng County of Linhuai County in person."
Lu Bu looked at Yan Qing's eyes glittering with excitement, and his heart, which was still burning hot just now, gradually cooled down, vaguely developing a few moments of remorse.
Upon hearing this, he also only hummed lightly without expression and said indifferently, "Then let Chong Guang do the honors."
Yan Qing certainly detected that Lu Bu's excitement was somehow high and low, but when he thought of Lu Su, and the pending Er Zhang and others, his heart punged with excitement, so where did he care about that much.
After setting an agreement with Lu Bu to leave early tomorrow morning, Yan Qing quickly retired, first went back to the house to fetch a few jars of wine, and then directly folded to Guo Jia's house, ready to interrogate him, his flickering in the hall, did not say out loud what exactly is the scheme.
