Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

Lu Bu was puzzled: "The thieves are gathered outside Juancheng, why did my lord abandon it and go to Dongjun instead?"

As soon as Yan Qing was about to explain, he came up with the idea of ​​taking this opportunity to test what the other party had learned recently, so he just smiled and said: "Let's guess first, Feng Xian."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, and after pondering for a moment, there seemed to be a flash of lightning across the dark night sky in his mind: "Could it be because of Bao Xin?"

Regardless of the fact that Bao Xin no longer has a serious official position after abandoning the post of captain of the cavalry that General He Jin had once admired, the strength and capital he has quickly accumulated since leaving Beijing should not be underestimated at all.

Being able to win such a huge support force in such a short period of time, there is something worth wooing.

What's more, Bao Xin is still an out-and-out anti-Dong faction, and Yan Qing's position is exactly the same, and there is almost a natural ally relationship.

Yan Qing nodded approvingly: "Not bad! Obtaining Bao Xin's support is the biggest key to this trip."

Since it is only 'maximum', there must be other reasons.

Lu Bu keenly grasped this point, and just received the wonderful encouragement that was so sweet that it almost melted his heart. When he started to use his brain again, he became a little more active: "What Bu doesn't understand is, how did my lord know that Bao's Dongjun?"

Yan Qing said: "Liu Dai suddenly encountered such a catastrophe, he must have been shocked for a long time, and he would look for famous people and strangers to advise him, it's perfectly normal."

However, Bao Xin had [-] soldiers under his command, if Liu Dai really took them over, the officers and soldiers would not be reduced to the helpless state of being passively beaten and retreating steadily.

So much so that things will turn against each other, and Liu Dai, who was so angry in his heart, was forced to explode completely. Coupled with his eagerness for success, he lost his life.

Lu Bu said disapprovingly, "If the battle can be fought like this, then Bao Xin is only mediocre. Why do you need my lord to go in person?"

Yan Qing smiled and said, "I went not only for Bao Xin, but also for Cheng Li and Cheng Zhongde."

Lv Bu looked dazed, and Yan Qing simply explained a few words.

Lu Bu now understands: it seems that the gang of cunning civil servants from Ziyingchuan are constantly growing their teams.

But this kind of behavior of recommending talents is very beneficial to his own situation. Even if Lu Bu feels that something is wrong and the threat is getting stronger, it is hard to say anything.

Lu Bu hesitated to speak for a while, but finally couldn't help but said: "My lord, why didn't you take Guo Fengxiao with you on your trip this time?"

"The rear cannot be separated from people. With him watching, I can go out with confidence."

After answering, Yan Qing was deeply surprised, and looked at Lu Bu in disbelief for a while, then Fang smiled meaningfully: "I still think that the two of you are not getting along, I don't want to..."

Swept by this gaze, Lu Bu felt his eyelids tremble suddenly, and he shuddered, shaking off goose bumps all over his body.

Yan Qing joked: "In front of me, why are you still pretending to be hesitant to speak? Don't be impatient, just say what you have to say."

As soon as Yan Qing's words fell, the guards who had been closely surrounding him tacitly fell behind a few horses, leaving a small space for them to talk.

Lv Bu glanced sharply to the left and right, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, you shouldn't listen to those who come from rich families, but they usually have no profit and can't afford it early. Most of them are famous people who are not useful. Guo Fengxiao and others hope to use the lord to spread their voices." The well-known son of the Han family is on the weaker side, so you might as well get closer to check and balance."

Yan Qing was taken aback.

Now he completely put away the jokes and jokes just now, and stared carefully at Lu Bu with a frank and selfless face for a while.

Lu Bu, who was clearly at odds with Guo Jia and often confronted each other, would uncharacteristically speak for Guo Jia because he considered the importance of balancing between the famous and the poor.

It's not that he doesn't know that Lu Bu's temperament has settled down, and he has matured and stabilized a lot, but it's the first time he feels the transformation so intuitively, and he still blurts out these words.

"Following what Xian said, I have thought about it a long time ago." Yan Qing looked solemn, and replied: "This is not a matter of overnight, and it needs to be discussed in the long run. Don't give up eating because of choking."

His current lineup looks extremely high-quality and extremely gorgeous, but it is useless.

The generals are fine, after all, the current situation is that there are too many generals and few soldiers. Even Huang Gai Chengpu, who is completely capable of leading an army by himself, can only be arranged to be a deputy general first.

This situation will have to continue for a long time before getting sufficient supply of troops.

But in terms of counselors and staff, they are very stretched.

Internal affairs are good. After Guo Jia's careful recommendation, a group of available talents were included.

As for the top few, each has its own shortcomings.

I just showed a hole card with Jia Xu, as the other party is cautious and never risk his life and wealth, it will take a while to stabilize, and he can't keep it alone; Although he is a newcomer, although he is from the Zanying family and is a well-known celebrity, he doesn't have enough time to integrate and get used to it, so he can't restrain the people in the Yanqing army.

The remaining Guo Jia is another one who likes to make strange moves, lacks prudence and self-discipline, and doesn't know how to cherish his own body. This time, leaving him alone to guard the house, not only wastes everything, but also makes Yan Qing feel uncomfortable for a while.

At least the vacancies must be almost filled, so that you can free up your hands to deal with the potential problems pointed out by Lu Bu.

Yan Qing said: "Cheng Li possesses extraordinary talents, if he can't be used by me..."

He paused for a moment, then said lightly: "It can't be used by bad people either."

Lu Bu saw that Yan Qingzhao had made a fortune, although he didn't know why he looked at the unknown old man Cheng differently, he didn't say any more.

Cheng Li, who was being discussed by the two and who had not yet changed his name to Cheng Yu, was undoubtedly extremely arrogant and ambitious.

In the face of Liu Dai's polite conquest before, he did not hesitate to say that he was sick and refused to go. He would rather guard his own small courtyard all day long, shut up in the room every day to study knowledge, and did not visit relatives or friends. He was quite lonely. .

But in the eyes of his neighbors, this person just doesn't know good and bad, and he even refuses the government's conquest. .

And from the past few months near the end of the year, some of his actions have become more and more unbelievable.

First came the news that Mu Yanqing of Yuzhou led troops to the front line and summoned the fairy traces to defeat the Yellow Turbans. Cheng Yu began to make people tidy up and sell the antique jades that were inconvenient to carry at home, and he didn't know what to do with the surplus food. Yes, everything else has been replaced with cloth.

He also sent his men to the carpenter's office to hurry up and make a large carriage large enough to hold his pile of letters.

Everyone laughed at him as cowardly as a mouse, even the chaos in the neighboring state could frighten him, so he had to flee for his life elsewhere.

But in this chaotic world, where can it be a real paradise for a long time?

Ignoring the ridicule and puzzlement of others, the carriage that Cheng Yu ordered was almost finished.

During this period of time, the Yellow Turbans sent troops to the east and went down to several cities in Yanzhou. With their large numbers of people, they won many battles and won many battles.

Cheng Yu, who was fully prepared in all aspects, unexpectedly received a letter from an old friend.

After reading it, he was silent for a long time, threw it into the brazier, and immediately announced that he would not leave.

After this dramatic back and forth, this whole mess has become a big joke.

Even those who lamented his ingenuity when the disaster of the Yellow Turban Army was approaching, murmured in their hearts.

Is it just a little bit of thunder and rain for fame and reputation, just a lucky hint?

One looked down on him the most, thinking that he was an arrogant and self-important scribe, and even pretended to pass by to see him, but his words were openly mocking and sarcasm.

Cheng Yu took it calmly.

He didn't go to meet the other party in person, but let the steward arrange for the man to wait in the side hall and make a cup of good tea, while he himself was in the room, sleeping soundly with peace of mind.

When Cheng Yu was full of sleep, he also cursed and left in disappointment.

People in the world don't know why Cheng Yu, when the situation is most stable, puts on the posture of imminent disaster, and rushes to avoid disaster elsewhere; but at the critical moment when the morale of the Yellow Turban Army is like a rainbow, and they are about to approach the city, and the people in the city are fleeing in all directions, it is inexplicable I gave up the long-planned departure.

But from Cheng Yu's point of view, it was all too obvious: Although Yuzhou is a disaster, the root cause has not been removed. Sooner or later, the Yellow Turban bandits will march to the neighboring states and counties. The first to bear the brunt is not Yangzhou, but Yanzhou.

The military disaster is coming, so naturally we have to go.

But after receiving Xun Yu's letter, Cheng Yu finished reading it, and after contacting some of the analysis he had done, he changed his mind.

Therefore, he decided that even if he was attacked by soldiers, he would stay where he was and wait.

Not to mention that outsiders couldn't figure out Cheng Yu's mind, even the people in charge of his family were kept in the dark, completely puzzled, and mustered up the courage to ask him for solutions.

Cheng Yu: "It's just some fools who only see the strength of the power in front of them, but don't know the long-term gains and losses. How can they be worthy of arranging big things with me?"

Another friend who had a close relationship with him came to persuade him before leaving to persuade him to stop playing tricks and go north with him quickly so as to go to Jizhou to avoid disaster, Cheng Yu also flatly refused.

The friend was puzzled, and hurriedly said: "Now the Yellow Turban bandits have arrived in Juancheng, and they have beheaded Governor Liu (Liu Dai) in front of the battle. The officers and troops have suffered a crushing defeat, and the destruction of the Eastern City is close at hand. If you don't leave, I'm afraid it will be too late! "

But Cheng Yu said: "Now that Duke Ming is coming, why don't you follow me and wait for a while?"

The friend shook his head and said helplessly: "A few days ago, Inspector Liu valued you so much and sent people to conquer, but you should not be appointed to take up the post. Why are your words and deeds now very different from those before. Where?"

Cheng Yu stroked his beard, smiled lightly and remained silent.

Where is waiting so simple?

——I am proud to send a letter of nomination.

And Yan Qing, who was fortunate enough to be praised by Xun Yu in his letter, and was also given high expectations by Cheng Yu, was leading Lu Bu and thousands of cavalry, copying the trail, and rushed towards Dong'a non-stop.

Under this high-intensity rapid march, for the first time in his life, Yan Qing, who had not bathed properly for two full days and was feeling extremely uncomfortable, heard the report from Ma Tan, saying that he found a natural hot spring not far away. , I couldn't bear it any longer.
