Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

Perhaps there is a tacit natural tacit understanding between famous generals and horses with the same name.

Before, except for Yan Qing, anyone's approach would make it irritable and restless, and the red rabbit horse, which showed strong hostility, miraculously became docile after Lu Bu forcibly mounted it and strangled its neck several times.

There was no need for Lu Bu to urge him further, and he rushed out with a tacit understanding.

All the soldiers were amazed.

Zhang Liao's other end didn't go so smoothly, he had to suffer a lot before subduing the hot-tempered red horse, and he didn't use his arms like Lu Bu's.

Lu Bu rode the red rabbit horse for a stroll around the boss, and he was completely satisfied with this magnificent horse, but when he came back, he was covered in sweat, so there was no need for Zhang Liao to force him , directly went to wash himself thoroughly, and after recovering his human appearance, he went to the main tent to look for Yan Qing in high spirits.

Unexpectedly, it was empty.

The filthy felt blanket had been taken away by careful Gao Shun, but Yan Sikong, whom he most wanted to see, was not inside.

Lu Bu immediately grabbed the soldiers guarding the side, and asked sharply, "Where is Yan Sikong?"

In front of this tall man who looked down on all the heroes, the soldier was shrouded in shadow, and when he was asked such an imposing manner, he couldn't help swallowing nervously, and said: "One hour ago, Lord Sikong entered The palace saint has gone."

"Oh."

It was only then that Lu Bu remembered that there was a return to life, and asked indifferently: "Did you say when you will come back? And who escorted you there?"

The guard said: "Your Excellency never said when he would return. It was Deputy General Gao who escorted him with more than ten light cavalry, and he has been guarding in front of the palace gate since then..."

Hearing that he was the loyal and reliable Gao Shun, Lu Bu felt relieved a little.

After asking a few more questions, Lu Bu, who got nothing more, let him go lazily, and went back to his tent listlessly.

It stands to reason that he had just fought a tough battle and was exhausted both physically and mentally, so he should have fallen asleep right after touching the pillow.

But Lu Bu was lying on the couch, but he couldn't calm down. He kept rolling around and couldn't sleep at all.

Maybe it's because you just got a good horse and you're so excited?

Lv Bu sipped his mouth dumbly, and found such a reasonable explanation from his sleepless head with great difficulty.

However, for some reason, what kept lingering in his mind was not the red horse that traveled thousands of miles every day, but Yan Sikong's celestial figure.

When Lu Bu was thinking wildly on the couch, and finally couldn't help jumping up and sneaking out, Yan Qing was still in the Ganquan Hall, arguing secretly with the little emperor Liu.

Long before entering the palace, as soon as Yan Qing won the victory, he sent a soldier to report back to the emperor.

This news cannot be concealed——Dong Zhuojun, who stationed troops in Jiyangting on the outskirts of Luoyang, acted in a very high-profile manner, attracting the secret attention of countless people. Calculating the gains and losses, but the people who have suffered greatly from it are undoubtedly a very happy thing.

Without hesitation, they applauded and sang praises.

After learning that Yan Sikong, who was young, was at a critical moment when the imperial guards were indifferent and fearful, he was ordered to face danger, without any fear, he used only one thousand recruits to face twenty thousand Xiliang's elite, and even won an unimaginable victory. After the fruitful results of the complete victory, there was even an uproar.

In fact, Yan Qing recorded the total number of 2 heads as the meritorious service of the generals in the official list of meritorious service.

But still overnight, with this skill of employing troops like a god and strategizing, he completely shook the big pass and gained a great reputation.

Dong Zhuo didn't know it at the time, he took great pains to 'conceal the sky and cross the sea', causing people to mistake three thousand letters for twenty thousand, thinking that he was going to take over the imperial capital. stepping stones.

Emperor Liu Bian was also quite surprised.

It is actually inappropriate to say that the 13-year-old little emperor is stupid, cowardly, and extremely incompetent.

Compared with those old foxes who are proficient in power, he is indeed naive, but he also has his own little calculations.

With no capable relatives to rely on, he discussed with his biological mother, the Empress Dowager He, and decided to choose Yan Qing, who had no foundational background but was easy to grasp, had a lot of ability, and was in the same boat as the Yuan family, to support him. Well act on their behalf for the time being.

Otherwise, just relying on the merits of saving him and the words of his younger brother Liu Xie, Liu Bian would not have been able to seal Yanqing as Sikong, jumping from a white body to the rank of the three princes.

It's a pity that Yanqing broke out with the Yuan family in court, completely destroying their good plan of "taking pictures slowly".

Although Yan Qing scolded brilliantly that day, he made the ministers of the Yuan family, who had always pointed fingers at him plausibly and had no respect for the old, were speechless. Liu Bian was undoubtedly delighted to hear it, but he also secretly regretted that this was the case. A good chess game that has not yet been cultivated and has stabilized its heel, I am afraid it will be gone.

Moreover, even if Yan Qing said the truth, Liu Bian still didn't believe it very much. Dong Zhuo, who had repeatedly resisted orders and disrespected him, really had the guts to plot rebellion.

Just like the Yuan family's vain attempt to monopolize the power, not for a day or two, but it does not mean that they have the ambition to seek power and usurp the throne.

On the one hand, Liu Bian was unwilling to offend the powerful Dong Zhuo to death, on the other hand, he was extremely dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's intrusion and lawlessness to disrupt the people, and on the other hand, he hated the Yuan family who did not do anything about it and seemed to be threatening.

Therefore, when Yan Qing asked himself to take the pitifully small 1000 people to attack the [-] tiger and wolf troops stationed outside the city, Liu Bian knew that he was like a mantis arm and would never return, so he could only secretly After regretting for a while, he verbally promised a secret edict and let him go.

If he is defeated, Dong Zhuo's army will be angered, but when the Yanqing army is completely wiped out, there is no evidence to say that he was ordered to rebel, and the court has never provided material and military assistance, so it is no wonder to his head.

Liu Bian just held the idea of ​​"I won't lose if I lose", and waited for the good news that he never dreamed of.

As soon as the astonishment went away, Liu Bian's enthusiasm immediately showed a little more sincerity. Regardless of being the emperor, the next step held Yan Qing's hand and asked for warmth, tears filled his eyes.

A touching performance made Yan Qing choke with sobs, and couldn't help covering her face with her sleeves.

But in his heart, Yan Qing, who had already seen through the essence of the other party, felt tired and crooked.

After the simple condolences are over, it is the turn of the more practical meritorious deeds.

It stands to reason that this battle was won, it was fought quickly and beautifully, and it solved the urgent need of the capital, so it should be rewarded heavily.

But Dong Zhuo's identity at this time is very subtle - in the whole world, only Yan Qing and Dong Zhuo know his real plan best, but most of the others look down on this vulgar and reckless man, and don't think he can have any With such a big appetite, he could eat a huge Han Dynasty.

As for rebels, it seems to be a bit more serious: at least, apart from resisting the decree and not retreating, leading troops into Beijing, letting the subordinates bully the common people, they really did not commit any crimes that actually endangered the court.

Grand Tutor Yuan Kai, who had problems with his eyesight, was determined to keep this former student who was deeply trusted by him, and continue to be the military commander of their Yuan family.

If you want to convict Dong Zhuo, you will definitely be strongly obstructed and reprimanded by people from Yuan Kai's faction, and if you have to, you will be counterattacked ruthlessly.

Besides, Yan Qing was already in the position of Sikong, and he couldn't be promoted any further. Liu Bian really regretted that he didn't deserve such a high position at the beginning.

So under Yan Qing's repeated pleadings, Liu Bian pretended to be reluctant, but he came along and gave Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun three people instead.

Second, Zhonglang will become a miscellaneous general, and then [-]% of the spoils will be allocated as a reward.

Yan Qing thanked him for his kindness, and said calmly: "Although Dong Zhuo's crime has been resolved, the crisis is still there. One is that the chief culprit has not been eliminated, the other is that the backer Yuan Kai is still standing still, and the third is that there are still [-] Xiliang soldiers waiting in Hedong To the Xiliang area, if there is no follow-up strategy, the danger will be infinite."

Liu Bian, who originally thought he could sit back and relax, was relieved, and asked humbly, "What can I do for it?"

Without a map, Yan Qing just dipped his fingertips in the tea, made a simple tick on the desk, and drew a picture: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the Yuan family is not in charge, Youfufeng still has the loyal General Huangfu." 1 soldiers and horses are guarding Chang'an, and Chang'an also has [-] people from the upright General Gai (Gai Xun), and there are tens of thousands of imperial troops in the city, so the capital will be safe."

What Yan Qing analyzed was the truth.

Huangfusong was so loyal that even the suspicious Han Lingdi believed him, so Liu Bian naturally believed him to be reliable.

So he breathed a sigh of relief, and complained in a low voice: "Since this is the case, why is Yan Aiqing so alarmist?"

Yan Qing shook his head: "Dong Zhuo has suffered such a head-on blow, how can he give up and give up? He will definitely find ways to make a comeback. Before that, he needs to accumulate strength and plunder military supplies. Those who suffer from it will They are the people along the way. Xiliang is barren and there is no profit to be made; Guanzhong is protected by heavy troops and cannot be attacked; no matter how bold the Yuan family in Jingzhong is, they will not re-enter anytime soon."

"Then Dong Zhuo's only option to obtain food and grass is..."

Yan Qing didn't say anything explicitly, and just tapped lightly with her fingertips to stay in Yuzhou.

He must be aimless: in history, after Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, he sent Li Jue and other generals to Yingchuan, Yuzhou and other places to burn, kill and loot, making people miserable.There will be a shortage of food for the evil wolf soldiers, and they will deliberately take revenge, so what scruples do they have?

The former Yuzhou Mu was Huang Wan, a well-known eunuch who managed the place well, but after the death of Emperor Ling, he was recalled to Beijing by He Jin, who had listened to the words of his aides. It has become a remote leader in name and a real vacancy.

However, as Yan Qing expected, after hesitating for a moment, the emperor still refused to let him go: "What Ai Qing said is not unreasonable, but how to ensure that the Yuan family will not do anything wrong? Most of the imperial army fell into their hands Every time I think about this, my mother and I have trouble sleeping and eating, and our hearts are uncertain!"

Through this incident, Liu Bian discovered that Yan Qing was the talent he urgently needed in terms of leading troops and fighting, so he decided to let Yan Qing succeed the former general He Jin and take control of the military power in Beijing.

Even though he knew that letting Dong Zhuo, the evil wolf, go outside would cause endless troubles, Liu Bian, who had suffered from the palace chaos and was living outside, still stubbornly refused to let Yan Qing go for the sake of his family and life.

Yan Qing stared at him quietly, tried a few words of persuasion, but in vain, she just smiled helplessly and said goodbye first.

To be honest, even if the emperor was stubborn and refused to listen to persuasion, it was only in Yan Qing's expectation, and he didn't feel troubled.

Anyway, when Liu Bian really started to do it, he would immediately find out that the ridiculous wishful thinking that day would attract violent opposition and protests.

Want to hand over the imperial army to him?

In this way, Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian can sit back and relax, but for the Yuan family, misfortunes never come singly: just lost a student of a general, and the emperor ordered him to hand over the military power that he had already eaten. It's all deceptive.

Yan Qing has already made up her mind that from tomorrow onwards, she will report her illness and not go to court, and she will not just stay idle in the mansion. She can also write letters to those wise men and counselors she likes, send a few glances secretly, and try to make a good impression .

As for the grand plan of leaving Beijing, I will trouble the Yuan family to work hard for him for a while.

After leaving the palace gate, Yan Qing was escorted by the leader Gao Shun who had been waiting here, and returned to the barracks temporarily.

It was late at night, and Yan Qing had eaten the meal given by the emperor before, and Gao Shun and the others had prepared their own dry food, so as soon as he returned, he took a shower, washed and changed his clothes, wanting to lie down quickly and have a good sleep .

He didn't even bother to be palmed on the lamp, so after opening the curtain, he moved to the simple army couch in the dark, took off his clothes and lay down.

As a result, Yan Qing felt strange lying down.

— Where are the pillows?

The back of Yan Qing's head was hit blankly, he couldn't help being stunned, and groped around for a while, but found nothing.

Did it fall to the edge of the couch?

Yan Qing reached out and searched around, but still couldn't find it.

——This is strange.

Because he was not used to the semi-hard but not soft pillows of this era, Yan Qing had someone find processed down and put it on a special cover sewn with silk cloth.

It can't just disappear out of thin air.

Yan Qing had no choice but to call people in, light the lamps, and ask them to turn the main tent upside down, but there was still nothing.

Yan Qing's beloved pillow disappeared strangely while there were obviously heavy guards outside.

Yan Qing frowned, this matter is big or small, hurriedly went to confirm those important documents, and did not see any signs of being tampered with before she settled down.

The most confidential ones are either kept in his mind, or he keeps them close to him, so he is not afraid of making mistakes.

He asked calmly, "Who came in before?"

The soldiers who knelt on the ground to plead guilty heard the words, looked at each other for a while, and replied hesitantly: "When General Gao came in, the pillow was clearly still there."

"Fu Yi?"

Yan Qing was a little surprised.

The entourage explained in detail how Gao Shun came in and took away the soiled blanket.

Yan Qing thought about it for a while, and really didn't think that there would be foreign thieves who would go to great lengths to sneak in just to steal a pillow, but turn a blind eye to the more precious documents.

Probably the pillows were carelessly taken away when the carpet was taken away.

So he said: "That's all, it's just a pillow, there's no need to make a big fuss, it's just disturbing the rest of the soldiers. I'll invite him to ask tomorrow."

He screened them away, took a stack of clean pajamas, and made do with it first.

……

And in a military tent next to the main tent, Lu Bu was sleeping happily on a ball of white stuff, in the faint woody fragrance, sleeping extremely sweetly.

The author has something to say: Let me solemnly declare that Lu Bu's affection for Yan Qing at this time is only a manifestation of the maximal favorability between the ministers, not love.

That is to say, there will no longer be the things that Yan Qing has been secretly worried about, that Lu Bu might sell his head to find another job.Because Lu Bu is now very sure that there will be no second lord who treats him as well and values ​​him as Yan Qing.

Although it may feel a bit ambiguous, the tone of the Three Kingdoms is like this...

It is popular to write love poems in Cao Cao’s place, holding each other’s hand and talking, Sun Quan’s loves to touch the other’s back and talk, and he is promoted to worship his mother at every turn. I don't need to talk about drinking Zhuge Liang vinegar...

In comparison, this is really nothing, so we must treat it with a normal heart!How can someone fall in love so quickly.
