Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

Chapter 26 3 Strategies for Poisoners

When Yan Qing heard the report, he couldn't help but sighed and rubbed the aching brows.

What he brought to the post was only a pitiful thousand soldiers and horses, and even with the newly recruited Yang family trilogy, the total was only six thousand.

Even when it is claimed to the outside world, this number is often doubled, and it is at most twelve thousand, but the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who besieged Zhongmou County are as many as fifty thousand.

This is obviously going to be a waste of time. Then, how could the Yang family, who only married a concubine daughter to Yan Qing's subordinates, still be willing to obey the dispatch and send his trilogy to die in vain?

Yan Qing wished he could look up to the sky and sigh, but he still had to resign himself to making a deal on paper.

Let’s recalculate the historical example of Cao Cao breaking Qingzhou’s million Yellow Turbans with tens of thousands of people as a reference.

Cao Cao exaggerated his record by at least 20.00% when he listed his achievements, which is 80 yuan; the claim of 80 yuan is usually 40% off, which means that there are actually 80 yuan (like in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was full of water. 40 troops); nearly half of the 20 miles are non-combatant family members and luggage transporters, that is, only 20 young and strong actually participated in the war; only……

Yan Qing made another double fold with a guilty conscience: one hundred thousand.

Counting Cao Cao's actual 2 people, against hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans, he was able to defeat them within a year, and finally achieved fruitful results. Armed youth).

From this point of view, do they also have the possibility of victory?

Yan Qing became a little more interested.

He brazenly made some equations like this: People call Guan Yu the enemy of ten thousand people, and Lu Bu, who can fight three heroes, is the enemy of thirty thousand people; If you have to lose money, then be humble and count 3 (it can't be more than his idol); Gao Shun's camp is praised as invincible, so it can be counted as 800 to [-]!

It's not just the power to fight, it's about to win a big victory!

...if only it could be converted like this.

Yan Qing soon painfully realized that this was nothing but self-deception and self-entertainment, so she stopped wasting precious time on meaningless things, and vigorously said: "Come on! Hurry up and leave Guo alone, Jia... ..."

Having said that, Yan Qing suddenly got stuck.

He just remembered that because he has been very busy recently, he has not had time to give Jia Xu a formal county-level official position.

Yan Qing didn't pause for long, and responded quickly: "...Mr. Jia Junshi please come here quickly. I have an urgent military consultation."

The guards came out at the command, Yan Qing looked at Lu Bu again and said, "Feng Xian, please call Wen Yuan and Fu Yi here too."

"Here!"

Seeing Yan Qing busy for a long time in a daze, Lu Bu, who finally crumpled up the paper and threw it away, responded loudly reflexively, and rushed out as soon as he turned his head.

——and even touched the ball of paper that was thrown on the ground.

Yan Qing saw it, but just thought that Lu Bu was taking care of it for him, and didn't care.

In just a cup of tea, all the personnel who participated in the first military meeting in Yan Qing Dynasty had arrived.

Yan Qing sat on the main seat, put a large wooden board that he had just made a simple mark in front of him, spread a thin layer of gravel evenly on it, and distributed a small wooden stick to each person.

All the staff will suddenly feel novelty.

Yan Qing didn't have time to explain so much, so he made a big cross on the location of Zhongmou County, and earnestly begged for an explanation: "Now Zhongmu is besieged by the Yellow Turban, and the enemy has [-] people, do you have a strategy to control the enemy? "

Seeing that everyone looked solemn, Qi Qi fell into deep thought, and no one spoke for a while, Yan Qing added a few pieces of information he had learned from the history books as a supplement: "The leader of the army is named Liu Bi. , and the Yellow Turban bandits occupying Yingchuan and Runan with him, there should be three generals, He Yi, He Man, and Huang Shao, each leading tens of thousands of troops."

Guo Jianning raised her eyebrows, and didn't ask Yan Qing how he learned about this military report, but only believed it very naturally, and then asked: "Then these four armies are completely fighting independently, or are they connected?"

Yan Qing replied: "Although it can't be said that they are united and close, they generally advance and retreat, but they are the same."

This also means that even if all the 5 people are wiped out, the revenge of at least 15 people who are entrenched in Henan and Yangzhou will follow.

In this way, the number of enemies should not be limited to the real report of '20', but should be expanded to [-].

The situation became even more severe.

Lu Bu knew what he was capable of, so he thought about it seriously for a while without any result, so he didn't waste any extra effort.

Anyway, he is not good at playing tricks and tricks, and he is still a good soldier in battle. When he wants to send troops to fight in a serious manner, he must not be able to do without himself as a general, and he will not worry about being useless.

After he settled down, he began to look left and right: first he looked at Zhang Liao's stupid look in deep thought, and then at Gao Shun's stupid look without racking his brains. Guo Jia, the cunning fox who asked Yan Qing about the details and promoted the progress of the meeting, and then glanced at Jia Xu, a sick child who was thoughtful, and was very entangled immediately.

... I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that these people present seem to be smarter than him.

Yan Qing didn't know that Lu Bu was upset, because the military situation was extremely urgent, and it was about his first battle as a new Yuzhou pastor. When everyone was silent, he had no choice but to start the roll call.

Seeing that Guo Jia was still deep in thought, Yan Qing didn't want to disturb him.

Looking at Jia Xu again, it was not unexpected to see that the other party shrank low-key at the end of the table, lowering his eyebrows and eyes, as if he was inconspicuous.

Yan Qing arrested him without thinking: "Mr. Wen He."

Jia Xu raised her head: "Here."

Yan Qing didn't play sloppy eyes, straight to the point and said: "Mr. Qing Zhenai is proud of his talent and wisdom. He suddenly asked His Majesty to ask you for it, and he has not yet apologized to him. I hope you can't be blamed. However, this is a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of people in Zhongmou. Don't hide your clumsiness, Mr. Pan, and don't hesitate to teach me a thing or two."

Standing up again, sincerely, he gave a long salute to the dazed Jia Xu.

Of course, he didn't expect that this move would bring Jia Dushi's flattered and sincere support. He just politely reminded the other party, who was full of twists and turns, keenly aware of the situation, and accurate judgment, that it was the moment when his eyelashes were on fire. In the same boat, it is no longer appropriate to stand by and watch.

Jia Xu "panicked" got up to avoid the gift, she was determined not to accept this gift, but she also understood what Yan Qing meant, and she no longer kept her mouth shut like she was just now.

——Jia Xu was both shocked and puzzled by Yan Qing's behavior of taking him under his command, but also reluctant.

Compared with becoming a high-ranking official in a place where bandits are rampant, it is of course safer to stay in Beijing and be a small official.

Born in a desolate border state, and a humble scholar, Jia Xu has lost a lot in terms of birth. According to the normal promotion path, he does not have any conditions for prosperity.

However, in terms of his official career, he has never had much aggressive ambitions. He just wants to keep himself safe in this stormy moment.

Yan Qing, an upstart in court and China who had never met before, happened to notice himself who had no reputation at all, and even made a special trip to ask for it.

It completely ruined his plan of living between the heaven and the earth and watching the changes in the world.

Naturally, Jia Xu could understand that even though the strength of the army was extremely disparate, it looked like an egg was hitting a stone; time was also extremely urgent, and it was too late to recruit troops...Yan Qing could not be indifferent to the difficulties in Zhongmou County, but had to solve them.

It has nothing to do with the integrity of an official, but once he runs away, even if he saves his life for a while, his prestige will be shattered.

As the official of the prefecture and county sent to Yanqing by the imperial court, he faced exactly the same situation.

Unless you don't hesitate to hide your name and can't hide, you have to go with the army.

If he is a young and energetic warrior, it is not impossible to do so.

But he is not.

In this way, the [-] yellow scarves seriously threatened, not necessarily Yan Qing, who was heartfeltly loved and desperately guarded by several brave tiger generals, but his own life, which was not taken seriously in the battle.

Even if Yan Qing didn't mention it, Jia Xu still had to come up with suggestions and plans.

However, according to his original plan, he waited for Guo Fengxiao, who had a close relationship with the lord and had a deep friendship with him, to finish speaking before speaking.

If it is very different from what he thinks, or if it is almost the same, then there is no need to say it: the former is useless to say, offending people for no reason;

Now that Yan Qing had pulled him out first, he disrupted his plan again.

Jia Xu smiled lightly, and replied: "Xiao is not talented, so I have to make three stupid decisions, dividing them into high, middle and low. If the master doesn't mind it, it's okay to listen carefully, but before adopting it, you need to be cautious."

Yan Qing smiled: "Mister is too modest, Qing would like to hear more about it."

Jia Xu first said: "Liu Pi, the leader of the thieves, led the thieves to besiege the city, mostly focusing on food and grass to meet the needs of the winter."

Everyone nodded: "Most likely."

Otherwise, why don't you come sooner or later, just pick the opportunity before the autumn harvest?

Jia Xu said: "The worst policy is to hold back the troops first and report to the imperial court, asking for reinforcements. Wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then act together."

Yan Qing instantly understood Jia Xu's implication, exchanged winks with Guo Jia, and immediately shook her head: "No."

What he vetoed was not just the superficial meaning of these words.

What Jia Xu is implying is that if you don’t want to take risks, you can shirk the blame on the delay in the reinforcements—everyone knows that the Yuan family is in charge of the capital, and they have just been offended by Yan Qing. Hearing that they want to send reinforcements to help them suppress the thieves, they will definitely push back three times and four times.

If it came, the commander-in-chief would not fall on Yan Qing's head, and someone close to the Yuan family would definitely be appointed to lead the army. In this way, even if the ending was tragic, it would not be Yan Qing who was pointed out by thousands of people.

What Yan Qing was most worried about was not that the Yuan family was unwilling to send troops, but that they might take advantage of the situation and send Dong Zhuo there.

In this way, it became an out-and-out lure into the house, and it was too late to repent.

Jia Xu said again: "The middle strategy is to take the soldiers of the sect thieves for your own use."

Yan Qing asked: "Please tell me the details, sir."

Jia Xu wrote lightly: "Since the former state herdsman left, the snakes in Henan have no leaders, and the rats are rampant. Among them, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and the thieves of the sect are the most common. They are not popular among the people. The people have accumulated grievances for a long time, which means that the foundation is not stable. If My lord is willing to send a few eloquent people to the sect bandits' stronghold, pretending to be officials, titles, gold and silver benefits, and then invite their leaders to come, why don't they believe it?"

"As soon as they arrive, you can catch turtles in the urn, capture thieves and kings. With General Lu's incomparable bravery, take his head like a bag, and then show it to the public. The name is to get rid of the head of the evil, and the follower is not. Then you can attack the remnants and kill them." It's falling apart."

"As for the fate of the Yu people, it's easy to say, as long as the lord implements a benevolent government, the hearts of the people will return."

Yan Qing nodded and sighed: "Sir, you are really talented! It's just that although this strategy is good, it will take time. It can be used to stabilize the political power in the future. Now it is too late to solve Zhongmou's difficulties."

Sect thieves are all over the territory of Yuzhou. It takes ten and a half months to come and go; For the effect that Xu mentioned, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Yan Qing may be the only ones in the entire army who can do it.

Guo Jia couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "This plan is very good, it can be used after the war subsides."

Only Lu Bu saw that everyone else was applauding in a daze, so he patted his legs too.

Jia Xu smiled lightly, Yan Qing asked: "The middle policy is already so brilliant, what about the best policy that Mr.

Jia Xu said meaningfully: "My lord has benevolence in his heart, so he will definitely not use this trick."

But he didn't make a fool of himself, and said eight words leisurely: "Spread rumors to confuse the enemy, and draw disaster from the side."

Yan Qing felt a slight chill in his heart when he heard it, secretly thinking that he really is a poisonous person, ruthless and merciless.

To the west are well-equipped Beijing soldiers, and of course the Yellow Turbans dare not go there.

To the north is Jizhou, the richest city governed by Han Fu, and to the east is Xuzhou, a sanctuary sanctuary where there is a shortage of generals. As long as the three tiger generals under Yan Qing's command can give a head-on blow, it will have the effect of deterring the opponent. , the Yellow Turban Army will feel timid, and turn to other soft persimmons to pinch.

In this way, it not only reduces the power of the neighboring princes, but also temporarily drives away the harassment of the Yellow Turban thieves and protects itself, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

It's just that the most unlucky ones are the common people in the end.

Yan Qing sighed: "This is not appropriate. Sir, please sit down, this matter is of great importance, even if there is no perfect solution, it is better to minimize the damage."

"What the lord said is true."

Jia Xu, who had expected this for a long time, just bowed calmly, and sat down again in a graceful manner.

However, it is different from the atmosphere where no one paid him much attention at the beginning, and even wondered why Yan Qing called him here. After three strategies in a row, Jia Xu's low-key and humble demeanor fell into the eyes of the generals. In it, it adds a bit of treachery and scheming taste.

Jia Xu is still calm, his expression is as usual.

Guo Jia patted the fan again and again, suddenly smiled, and looked up at Yan Qing.

Yan Qing smiled and said: "Have you figured it out?"

Guo Jia nodded, and said with a smile: "I hope that I will not disgrace my lord's expectations."
