The news that Yan Qingfeng was able to save Jia with great success, and performed another miracle, and that he was about to return with a big victory, quickly spread throughout the Central Plains.

While encouraging the spirits of the people under his rule who had full confidence in him, it also caused headaches to the enemy forces who had been looking forward to the annihilation of his army in order to prevent them from settling accounts in the autumn.

Tao Yi, the newly promoted governor of Xuzhou, was the most ignorant, he hurriedly summoned his father's most valued aides and gentlemen, and asked in fear: "General Yan Sikong will return, but what do you think?"

Chen Deng and Mi Zhu looked at each other, while lamenting Yan Qing's prestige, they felt helpless.

Tao Yi couldn't help asking again.

Chen Deng took a step forward, saluted lightly, and persuaded in a non-tactful way: "Before the man arrives, why should the lord mess up? In the previous incident, the former master was only a follower, but not the mastermind. Even if Yan Sikong If you want to send troops, there is absolutely no possibility that you are coming for the lord."

Mi Zhu stroked his beard and nodded.

This point is really obvious, but Tao Yi is too stupid to be scared out of his wits, so he can't see it: Yan Qing's hard work has brought wounded soldiers and tired generals, so he needs to repair it first Fan.

If troops are sent, the first priority must be to conquer the lost land in Yanzhou, and then cut off Gongsun Zan, the all-pervasive factor of instability... Whether he will take revenge on Bingzhou Shepherd Dingyuan, who also conspired with Yuan Shu, depends on his subordinates How big is the face of the beloved general Lu Bu?

No matter how you look at it, when Tao Qian made the decision to join the alliance initiated by Chen Qun, he took this into consideration to some extent - although it would cause Yan Qing's dissatisfaction, they were definitely not the ones who came out ahead.

If Chen Qun helped Yuan Shu's uprising come true, Yan Qing suffered a big loss and lost a lot of strength, which would be of great benefit to Xuzhou, which is next to the tiger; There is also time to apologize again, so that the previous petty disrespect will be written off, at least to keep Xuzhou safe for more than ten years.

As for the longer term, he can't think about it.

Chen Deng deduced Yan Qing's reaction according to common sense, and successfully soothed Tao Yi's restless heart, but most of his guesses came to nothing.

——Yan Qing didn't play his cards as he thought at all.

It took the army of Yan just eight days to rush from Luoyang to Xingyang, and there were three more days in the waterway. They used not serious ships, but just like training, and asked the soldiers to use local materials, reeds and The rafts made of moso bamboo.

For the Yan army, which is mostly elite cavalry, how can such a slow speed be regarded as a normal march?

It is clear that under Yan Qing's connivance, he came here to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Guo Jia and Xun You both looked calm, but Lu Bu was a little anxious: "My lord, don't you want to go back soon? It really makes the surname Yuan stand firm, and it will be difficult to take it back."

Yan Qing said slowly: "Don't worry. Everything should be relaxed. The soldiers have suffered a lot before. Now let them relax and adjust. Isn't it good? As for the Yuan family's son, how much can he eat? Then I'll let him spit it out completely."

Yanzhou can't run long legs, and the autumn harvest is still early, Yuan Shu can do it, but it is Xun Yu's savings accumulated over the years.

The one who feels the most distressed is naturally not Yan Qing, but Xun Yu...

Even with Chen Qun and other smart people persuading him secretly, it would be very difficult for Yuan Shu to be absurd to the extent that he would be able to feed the common people.

For Yan Qing, the most important thing is to clean up and sort out those officials in Yanzhou who were born in dignified families and who are not easily touched by Xun Yu on weekdays.

Lu Bu was startled when he heard this, and thought for a moment, then hesitatingly asked: "Could it be that my lord wants to send troops to... somewhere else?"

Yan Qing generously admitted: "Not bad."

He has no kindness, no love for the emperor's family, and the love of politicians is as thin as dry paper. If Liu Kang and Lu Zhi's affection for him has reached its peak, he will not do some happy things that he usually needs to worry about breaking taboos. Wouldn't it be a waste of this bonus? benefits?

Yan Qing looked at Lu Bu with a slight smile, and said slowly: "It depends on Feng Xian's reluctance, whether he is willing to turn a blind eye."

He asked himself to be polite to Ding Yuan, and he never did anything unfavorable to the imperial court. Even if he had a conspiracy, he had never really done anything out of the ordinary at this stage.

Still ended up being tricked and bullied over and over again.

If you continue to endure this, it will become more and more endless in the future.

Since people don't cherish the opportunity of peaceful coexistence, and want to treat him as a "gentleman" who won't fight back, why bother to tie his hands and feet, and let Sun Ce and others spend a lot of money on training in order to avoid recent disputes like before. Navy, to prepare for the future expedition to Goguryeo and Japanese pirates?

Yan Qing was provoked into anger, and she made up her mind to deal with them, so she chose to do the opposite.

Those who are not strong in their early years and who think they can get out of the body, he will be the first to let go.

At that time, the difficult problem will fall on Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan: Gongsun Zan, whose allied forces are under attack and who is in a bitter battle with Gao Shun, and Yuan Shu, who is building a wall and wants to join forces diplomatically, should they be saved or not? ?

If they had the strength to spare, Yan Qing would have to besiege the city to fight for aid, and spend time with them patiently; if they stood by and watched, then he would make a drastic move, not to mention the severe repairs, and formally kick off the prelude to the expansion in all directions.

As for the two core forces, little by little allied forces were lost. Although their strength was temporarily preserved, they were reduced to a state of isolation, or they completely chilled the hearts of others.

It is conceivable that there will be no storms.

The next moment he realized what Yan Qing meant, Lu Bu replied firmly without blinking an eye, "Bu is willing to be the vanguard!"

"What first? Go aside."

Yan Qing kicked him dumbfounded, and reprimanded: "That's your adoptive father! Besides, the nature of this matter is not serious enough for you to play the banner of righteousness and extermination of relatives. You'd better stay away from this matter. .”

Lu Bu didn't care about his reputation at all, but he was concerned about whether Yan Qing's kick would hurt his feet. Seeing the kick, instead of hiding, he quickly relaxed his abdominal muscles and got kicked.

Yan Qing tilted his head to look at him, and just as he was about to say something, Lu Bu quickly grasped the swept foot and put it in his arms happily.

Yan Qing rolled her eyes: "It's a hot day, why don't you let go?"

When Lu Bu didn't hear it, he stretched out his leg and hooked the ice basin a little closer. He pretended to be serious and said, "The one surnamed Ding—" Yan Qing narrowed his eyes, and he quickly changed his words: "Father-in-law Although his brain is not very good, he is quite good at fighting, and there are many brave men in the Bingzhou Army. If we send a lieutenant general to fight alone, I am afraid that we will not be the opponent."

Yan Qing simply leaned back, changed his posture, and lay down reclined with one foot being held by Lu Bu. He glanced at him and said, "There is already a candidate, and we will probably meet tomorrow."

Lu Bu thought about it carefully, and tentatively said, "Gao Fuyi? Zhang Wenyuan?"

Yan Qing gave the answer happily: "Zilong's nature has always been calm and serious. Now that he has experienced many times, he will be able to do it."

Lu Bu frowned, and said jealously: "My lord has always treated Zilong favorably. If he doesn't live up to it, he will be very sorry for his kind treatment."

Yan Qing could hear the jealousy in his words, couldn't help but suppressed a smile, curled up his finger pretending to be frivolous, and lifted Lu Bu's chin: "Ms. Lu is—"

As soon as the conversation started, Guo Jia hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered, with a habitual casual look on his face: "Report to the Lord—"

The voice stopped abruptly.

Yan Qing was startled by the sudden intrusion, subconsciously pulled his foot back from Lu Bu's arms, and resumed his sitting posture.

After seeing that it was Guo Jia, he noticed that the other person's face was constantly changing. Obviously, the shock he received was much stronger than his little fright. After such an interesting scene, he couldn't help but chuckled, and asked: "What's wrong with Feng Xiao?" Urgent matter?"

The moment Guo Jia suddenly saw the scene in the tent, he quickly pushed down the curtain behind him, but the scene just now left a deep impression on his mind, and he heard that Yan Qing had malicious intentions. His tone made his teeth sore and his eyes hurt.

It took a while to recover, and he said expressionlessly: "...Zilong has arrived."

"Are you here one day earlier?" Yan Qing didn't think too much, and got up straight: "Where is it now?"

Without even thinking about it, Lu Bu followed Yan Qing out to check.

Guo Jia, however, winked at Yan Qing indiscriminately, then straightened his eyes, and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, please stay."

"how?"

Lu Bu was used to Guo Jia trying to find trouble with him every day, but because the other party gave Yan Qing a good mood that day, he was willing to treat Yan Qing with kind words, so he stopped and looked at him questioningly.

Guo Jia said earnestly: "When I just came here, I heard that there was some commotion in the back camp. I don't know what happened. I asked General Lu to take a look. It won't be too late to come here to find the Lord."

"Is this true?"

Lu Bu had always emphasized military discipline over and over again, that no grain of sand could be tolerated, and when he heard that the soldiers were making unreasonable noise while he was away, their faces darkened.

Although Yan Qing didn't know what Guo Jia was planning, but he was very relieved of him, so he blinked at him quickly, and cooperated to drive Lu Bu away: "I have Lao Feng to go and see first."

Lü Bu didn't doubt that he was there, so he bid Yan Qing back, and hurried to the layman.

As soon as he left, Yan Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Guo Jia playfully: "Why did Feng Xiao dismiss him?"

Guo Jia said with a sullen face: "Although Jia knows the situation, my lord should restrain himself a bit, don't let the mistress get carried away."

Yan Qing: "..."

mistress?

Out of a very delicate state of mind, he did not clarify this little misunderstanding, but humbly remonstrated: "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, and he should not be too indulgent in the future."

Guo Jia glanced at Yan Qing in doubt, and stopped entangled in this topic, and just continued: "Zilong has brought dozens of women with him, if the mistress sees her, something will happen. It is inevitable for Gongda to see the clues."

Yan Qing frowned: "Woman?"

Guo Jia nodded: "Master, do you still remember Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping?"

Yan Qing immediately remembered the first two sponsors: "I remember it. But they sent it? It's just that I didn't say it a long time ago, but when this happened, did you reject it for me? Zilong responded. It's also clear, how could it be foolish?"
