Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

What Yan Qing never imagined in his dreams was that, seeing that Dongjun was only a day away, he unexpectedly received an urgent letter from Guo Jia who was in the headquarters.

And in this important letter, which killed two horses and caused the courier to faint on the ground due to exhaustion as soon as it was delivered, there were only a few lines of scribbled and messy words, which were obviously written by Guo Jia in a hurry, and the content was incomparable. Straightforward and clear.

——The Qiang people retreated, and Yizhen returned to the court.His Majesty was seriously injured, Yuan Dong broke up, the capital was in chaos, and the prince fled.Also please come back quickly, my lord.

How can it be so fast?

Yan Qing was deeply incredulous.

Combining the wisdom of Guo Jia, Jiaxu, Chen Gong and Xun Yu, he still underestimated the turmoil and the rapid collapse of the balance in Beijing.

He let out a long breath, pinched the letter with a heavy face, and finally realized the trouble of putting aside the large army to act without authorization.

At the moment, there is no counselor around, not even a person to discuss with.

No matter how talented Lu Bu is, it is impossible for him to grow up to the point where he can advise him just by reading books for a few months in his spare time.

However, this is still an urgent matter, and a decision must be made immediately, and there is no time to wait for the rendezvous or write a letter to inquire.

Lv Buyuan was standing quietly aside, seeing Yan Qing showing a slight embarrassment, he couldn't help becoming nervous, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, what's wrong with that letter?"

Yan Qing was concentrating on contemplating, and couldn't spare time to explain to him, so he handed the letter to him directly: "Look."

After reading quickly, Lu Bu immediately understood the seriousness of the problem, frowned, and stopped asking any more questions, just waiting for Yan Qing's order with bated breath.

Yan Qing closed her eyes, and the words and sentences in the letter emerged one by one. Although the amount of information was limited, her thoughts gradually became clearer.

"The Qiang people retreated" is easy to understand. I am afraid that the follow-up food and grass promised by Dong Zhuo could not be delivered in time, and the enemy Huangfusong who faced him was an extremely hard nut to crack.

Seeing that the attack could not last for a long time, and the army rations were about to run out, these alien races who did not see rabbits and did not scatter eagles naturally refused to continue to do free work for Dong Zhuo, so they happily returned to Xiliang with the spoils of war.

Now that the enemy soldiers have retreated, it will be logical for "righteousness to return to the court".

Dong Zhuo was in a hurry, and the Yuan family was also in a hurry.

Although Guo Jia didn't elaborate on the reason for "Your Majesty's serious injury", it's not difficult for Yan Qing to guess: the Yuan family, whose goal is to control the imperial power and establish the world, would not lay a poisonous hand on the emperor.

Moreover, doing so would do more harm than good to them.

After all, the bigger the Yuan family was, the more they cherished feathers.

As we all know, even if they were eventually defeated in the tug-of-war with the emperor, they would still have to rely on these veteran officials in the court before the emperor could govern alone.

Regardless of winning or losing, the Runan Yuan family can still stand for at least ten years without falling.

From Yan Qing's point of view, if you want to throw the emperor down so impatiently, and take such a frenzied way of harming the holy car, I am afraid that only Dong Zhuo, a warlord in history, can do the thing of "abolishing the emperor with the body of a courtier". up.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was fledgling and had no soldiers and horses, but his official position was just a rank-and-file general, succumbed to Huangfusong, far less than the proud and uncompromising ones in this period of history.

When he was in the court, he could only stand in the middle row in a wimpy manner, and he was ridiculed by the emperor from time to time, and he had to continue to look up to the Yuan family so that the other party would speak up for him as an old official in the court, so as to gain a firm foothold.

Even if Dong Zhuo tried his best to be flexible and stretchable in order to achieve his goal, with his rebellious nature, it wouldn't last long.

I'm afraid he couldn't bear it anymore and secretly harmed the emperor, but in the end he accidentally leaked the secret and was noticed by the Yuan family.

In fact, Dong Zhuo's move was probably mostly to test the Yuan family's tolerance, otherwise Liu Bian would not have been seriously injured and bedridden.

However, through this incident, the Yuan family finally got a glimpse of the wolf, tiger and leopard's ambition to devour the master, and realized how dangerous his past behavior of seeking skin from a tiger was.

The Yuan family hated him extremely, only because their own reputation was also bound together with this disciple, in the eyes of outsiders, it was an intimacy of both prosperity and loss.

Fang is not good at publicizing it to the outside world, and he has no choice but to say nothing about breaking up.

Dong Zhuo, who had nearly [-] Xiliang iron cavalry, confronted the Yuan family, which commanded most of the forbidden army and was deeply entrenched in the court, and a subsequent "rebellion in the capital" became inevitable.

The most puzzling thing is the point of "the prince fled".

Although Liu Xie is young, he is quite intelligent, cautious and calm, has a clear understanding of his situation, and has a certain courage.If he hadn't really felt the threat, and it was really a last resort, he would not have taken the move to escape from the capital.

Who is it that insists on having trouble with a powerless and powerless King Chen Liu who is too young to even participate in politics?

Yan Qing went through the important people in Beijing one by one in his mind, and he got a general idea.

——The culprit may be Empress Dowager He.

Liu Bian is now seriously injured, and he doesn't know if he will survive in the end, or if he will still be able to sit on the throne.

But the world cannot live without a king. Even the Yuan family, which is already opposed to Dong Zhuo, will agree to regard Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, who is also of the blood of Emperor Han Ling, as the heir.

How could Empress Dowager He just sit and wait to die, watching the hard-earned throne for her parents and children, and finally made it easier for Liu Xie, who had always been looked down upon by her, like the former Empress Dowager Dong who had been in trouble with her?

Moreover, when Empress Dowager He was still a queen, she poisoned Liu Xie's mother, Wang Meiren, out of jealousy, and forged such a feud against her mother.

In this way, the more critical Liu Bian's injury was, the more murderous Empress Dowager He would be, and the more dangerous Liu Xie's situation would be.

Liu Xie is clever, seeing that his days of ease are coming to an end, and the surroundings are full of dangers: either he pretends to help him to the top and make him a puppet, or he is a poisonous woman like Queen Mother He who reveals her murderous intentions.

However, relying on Liu Xie alone, it is impossible to escape from the capital under the noses of everyone. I am afraid that even if he leaves the gate of the mansion, he will not be able to move an inch.

That means that there is still a person who secretly helps the little prince escape with unknown intentions.

Maybe it's the result of this person Chen Ming's interests and convincing Liu Xie.

It is impossible to know exactly where Liu Xie is going to escape.

"Ugh……"

Although he was not sure and didn't know how much he won, Yan Qing managed to smooth out the sudden series of events and gave a reasonable explanation.

He couldn't help rubbing the center of his eyebrows, feeling very troubled.

I hate that the capital is in chaos too quickly, but the news delivery is too slow.

The momentum on his side is clearly on the right track, but the capital city is already in a mess, disrupting all his plans.

Seeing that Liu Dai, the unlucky ghost, died not long ago, leaving Yanzhou without an owner; His Majesty can't protect himself, and he can't control this side; the Yellow Turban Army's food road has just been cut off by them...

This opportunity is once in a thousand years. To take Yanzhou is like searching for something. Is there any reason to stop?

But Liu Bian is afraid that it will be useless, and Liu Xie has already run eastward. If he is not greeted and kept as soon as possible, if he takes the initiative, it will be easy for this child who is very likely to become the future emperor to fall into the unknown. In the hands of villains, the danger is endless.

Yan Qing paced a few steps anxiously, then stopped suddenly.

wrong!

Before, they had to use all their strength to seek a quick victory, not because of how much they valued the Yellow Turban, an opponent who could not stand on the stage.

Now there is no meaning of asking for 'urgency', and the troops can be divided appropriately, and the two ends can be carried out at the same time.

If Dong Zhuo was defeated, or Yuzhou was the first to miss him after the incident, it would not be too late to recall him.

What Guo Jia said in his heart was just to let his lord return quickly, not to let the whole army together?

Yan Qing turned her mind to the telegram, and quickly made up her mind.

Then he gave instructions to the soldiers, and after taking the pen and paper, he quickly filled a few lines on the back of Guo Jian's letter on the saddle, stamped it, and handed it to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was slightly stunned, but the next moment he felt blessed, he didn't unfold it to look at it, but put it in his arms carefully.

Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly: "I will obey the order first."

Without batting an eye, Lu Bu lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down and saluted neatly: "Here."

Yan Qing lowered his eyes to look at him, his eyes were as calm as water, and he explained in a steady voice: "The people here, and Gao Fuyi for a while, I will take them back to the rear, and you can catch up with the main force as soon as possible. Remember to give this letter to Wen Ruo."

Lu Bu opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, "My lord!"

Yan Qing said with a more serious tone: "Time is running out, listen first!"

The veins on Lu Bu's forehead popped up, but he still kept his mouth shut.

Yan Qing made some calculations and asked, "How long can the food and grass last?"

Lu Bu knew it well, and quickly replied, "A whole month."

Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's enough."

If it is not enough, we have to make a good harvest, which saves trouble.

"There is no time to delay the crusade against the Yellow Turban, but I am too busy to take care of it, so I will leave it to you for the time being."

Yan Qing hurriedly said: "I will rush back to Yanzhou as soon as possible after finishing those things. Before each battle, remember to ask the gentlemen for advice first, and your tone should be more polite. When you are on the battlefield, everything will be based on your instructions. , we must be cautious..."

If it weren't for the impressive progress Lv Bu has shown recently, and his temperament is obviously much more stable, otherwise, even if it was an emergency, Yan Qing would really be worried about entrusting the power of commanding the entire army to him.

Even with the assistance of Xun Yu's outstanding think tanks, it is impossible to capsize the ship.

Yan Qing finished the important words as concisely as possible, and seeing Lu Bu's face, he should have listened, and finally said: "Is there any problem?"

Lu Bu listened and listened, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but he tried not to interrupt Yan Qing before, but now he couldn't bear it any longer, and asked anxiously: "Who will guard the safety of the lord?"

Yan Qing couldn't hear Lu Bu's words that he wanted to follow, and said without hesitation, "The main force of the Yellow Turbans is on the road from Juancheng to Dongjun. How can I be in danger? With these 4000 people, it is more than enough. "

Lu Bu took a deep breath and said decisively, "No!"

In desperation, he yelled loudly, and immediately realized that the tone was wrong, he clasped his fists loudly, apologized a few times, and pleaded, "My lord, please think again!"

Yan Qing didn't expect Lu Bu to express his opposition so strongly at this critical juncture, and he couldn't help but feel rather surprised, and didn't care about his wording and tone: "Why?"

Lu Bu has always been quick-witted, the more anxious he is, the faster his brain turns, and he will raise an objection, which is also well-founded and forceful: "If Guo Fengxiao accidentally leaks the news when sending this letter, it will not be difficult for outsiders to accept it." This infers that the lord will turn back quickly. If someone with an evil plan makes preparations in advance and ambushes halfway, and the lord returns Qingqi, there is no one around him who can be used! If something goes wrong, wouldn't the consequences be disastrous? No matter how important Yanzhou is, it is no more than a hair of our lord, and we will regret it for a small loss!"

After Yan Qing listened carefully, although he thought it was unlikely, but for the sake of prudence, these words were not lacking in reason, so he asked: "Then Feng Xian thinks, what is the best way to achieve the best of both worlds?"

Lu Bu said decisively: "Although there are many Yellow Turban bandits, they are mobs. Mr. Wen He is the mastermind, and Sun Wentai, who is not as good as Bu, is the forward. Gao Fuyi is in the central army. It is more than enough to deal with them. Why bother?" Do you have to send Bu? Just send a team to deliver the letter, and Bu returns with the lord, so that both sides will be safe."

Yan Qing frowned upon hearing the words, carefully considering Lu Bu's proposal.

He didn't speak, Lu Bu's heart was beating like a drum, nervously waiting for an answer.

"Let's go." Yan Qing showed his face and said, "Just do what Feng said first."

Lu Bu was startled, and then quickly grinned the corners of his mouth behind his ears: "Aw!"

It was the first time that his serious suggestion was adopted, and it was a very important matter. He was elated on the spot. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he wished he could roll on the ground a few times to calm down the turbulent mood.

"Oh, what, do you think you're a wolf?" Yan Qing looked at him with a funny face, and urged: "It's not too late, after sending out the messenger, just turn back at the same place!"
