Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

Under the high-pressure supervision of Lu Bu himself, the progress of these excavation projects can be described as rapid progress, which is amazing.

After only six days, it was all repaired, not to mention, there was even spare energy, and thousands of skilled hands were sent to Cao Ying to help.

Now that the fortifications are complete, the hundreds of Dong Zhuojun Qingqi who have been harassing them all the time recently can only look at each other from afar and return angrily.

For the soldiers of the Yan Army, their tense nerves were finally able to relax, and they could sleep peacefully.

Yan Qing has not been idle for the past few days, either with the assistance of Liu Ye, he is urging the craftsmen to build the car well, or he is asking the military advisers for official business, or he is accepting Cao Cao's enthusiastic visits, and from time to time he personally grabs Guo Jia went for a trot around the barracks to exercise, not forgetting to stare at him to eat more rice, so he had the right to relax and pastime.

As the saying goes, the bear's paw of the first and the arsenic of the second made Guo Jia feel miserable and avoided this treatment, but in the eyes of Lu Bu who silently followed all these, it was an enviable favor.

But Guo Jia didn't know good and bad, and he was always complaining, wishing he could drag Xun You into crying, but he refused to get up early.

Suddenly Lu Bu felt more and more unhappy watching it, and couldn't help slandering: what a person who is in the blessing and doesn't know the blessing, and is acting good when he gets a cheap one!

Xun You was so entangled by him once that he had no choice but to run the whole distance with him.

The result turned out to be good. Seeing that Xun You, who was also gentle and calm, but practiced the six arts of a gentleman on weekdays, ran three laps without rushing and was still not blushing or out of breath.

And the same distance fell on Guo Jia, who was drinking and drinking all the time, lingering in the flowers, often sleeping until the sun was up in the morning, and concentrating on Guo Jia who stayed up all night when he was busy. He was so tired that he was panting and wished he could lie on the ground. .

Since then, Guo Jia seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and he never complained, but started running silently, making Yan Qing amazed.

However, Yan Qing also said with emotion that he will soon have no time to continue to pay close attention to it—the fact that Lu Bu seized the Sishui Pass quickly with his ingenious strategy has spread all over the place under his deliberate publicity these days. A series of knock-on effects were brought about.

The allied army achieved such a brilliant feat with only two troops, which inevitably made those who were still on the way feel enthusiastic and anxious, and they all speeded up their marching speed.

So in these two days, except for the farthest Beiping prefect Gongsun Zan, Jizhou shepherd Liu Yu, and Pingyuan county magistrate Liu Bei, the rest were basically all present.

Yan Qing looked righteous and awe-inspiring towards these people, but in fact they mostly came to eat and drink. Although the gilded flower shelves received them politely and chatted happily, they never pinned any hope on them.

He is also unwilling to waste precious time on some irrelevant entertainments. Anyway, everyone gets what they need. As long as the etiquette is done and the face is decent, no one can make a mistake.

The governor of Yangzhou, Chen Wen, in order to please his increasingly wealthy neighbors, even proposed to set up an altar to burn incense and hold a solemn ceremony of honoring him as the leader of the alliance.

However, Yan Qing would not buy it at all, and without waiting for others to express his opinion, he immediately said some righteous words, blocking Chen Wen's words.

Those who came on the same day, Yan Qing received them in a centralized manner, and began to assign tasks the next day, mostly trivial tasks that were easy and simple, and difficult to make mistakes.

But Dong Zhuojun on the wall didn't think so.

The number of military tents in the camp is increasing day by day, and the new allies are coming in an endless stream, so the pressure on them is naturally increasing day by day.

Especially the generals guarding this pass, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji, all fought against Yan Qing when Dong Zhuo tried to hide the truth. Inevitably there is a heart of jealousy.

When Yan Qing had few major generals, he was already so unstoppable, let alone at this moment when the army is full of fine food and food, and everyone responds to everyone?

The two most heroic generals under his command, Lu Bu and Sun Jian, took turns dispatching out every day, showing off their might and fighting loudly in front of the pass.

Li Jue's response was always to close the door tightly, unable to retreat, but it was straightforward, and even Lu Bu had no way to do it.

And Li Jue did this purely out of helplessness.

Although he had never seen Sun Jian's ability with his own eyes, since he was named a marquis by his own ability and was once the prefect of a county, he must have something extraordinary.Moreover, Yan Qing valued him so much. When he first arrived, he could serve as a striker with Lu Bu. In terms of military strength, I am afraid they are comparable.

As for Lu Bu's superb martial arts skills in beating Hua Xiong several times that day, he saw clearly, so how could he seek blows for himself?

For the sake of prudence, he would rather be a bit of a wimp than take a chance that is obviously very small.

Lu Bu saw that they were determined to be the cowardly turtles who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and refused to fight. He was tired and unable to show his prestige in front of the lord and perform well, so he was not very happy.

He scolded more and more badly every day, and Li Jue just encouraged the soldiers to maintain their morale, and he was so worried that his hair turned gray.

One day, in the main tent of the Yan army, all the officials gathered together.

Yan Qingyi was wearing a sword, leaning comfortably on the Hu chair, his chin was slightly raised, as if he was closing his eyes and resting his mind, but his mind was running fast, just according to the usual practice, to deal with the affairs that required him to make the final decision .

Guo Jia slowly shook the folding fan in his hand, and opened a note with the other hand: "Prefect Zhang of Hanoi sent someone to send the book. Dao Yuan Shu has been bound, can you send it?"

Yan Qing said: "Send it to Qiao County, I will write a letter to let Wenhe know how to deal with it."

Guo Jia nodded, Yan Qing suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Xun You and said, "Is there any movement in Luoyang?"

Xun You said in a relaxed tone: "Tie Dong has opened an altar and set up a platform, and he will push the child to take the throne in the near future."

"It's no wonder that the soldiers in front of the Hulao Pass are holding the line, but he doesn't come." Yan Qing smiled sarcastically: "It's ridiculous."

No matter which unlucky person Dong Zhuo wants to push to become the puppet emperor, his wishful thinking is doomed to fail.

Even Dong Zhuo, an expert in marching and fighting, and a naive and naive layman besides rough political methods, would make such low-level mistakes.

If he was not mistaken, Dong Zhuo probably thought that as long as he had the merits of being a dragon, he would be able to take control of the government as a minister of Gu Ming, occupying a "righteous name", and then branding their righteous alliance as rebellion and driving officials The army was wiped out and liquidated.

That's why he was so anxious, he didn't even care about the safety of the crucial Hulao Pass, so he had to stay in Luoyang to guard it.

But Dong Zhuo forgot that the central government had already been riddled with holes by Emperor Han Ling, and its authority was crumbling like a candle in the wind.The young emperor Liu Bian, who was killed by him not long ago, had an unorthodox background, and was backed by Huangfusong's military power, but who among the princes of all parties took the Luoyang court seriously?

If you recuperate and work hard, you may still have a chance.However, the binding force has been tossed to be weak, and the warlord intervened indiscriminately and intervened for his own selfish desires, but it will make the last trace of reverence for imperial power disappear in people's hearts.

It is obvious that Dong Zhuo himself has no respect for Han Dynasty Gangji, but he takes it for granted that others will obey him because of it, and expects others to be loyal ministers of the country. This idea itself is contradictory .

He pushed the new emperor who could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye to be the puppet of a bandit surnamed Dong, and then ostentatiously used imperial decrees to order the officials to get rid of some hopelessly pedantic or simply downturned walls in Luoyang City. Outside the grass, who else can you fool?

It's equivalent to rushing to hand Yan Qing a deadly handle to deal with him, and a good reason to abolish and establish the "false emperor" for doing the things of Huo Guang in the previous court, and that's all.

Xun You reminded: "My lord, don't forget General Huangfu."

Yan Qing calmly said: "Dong Zhuo is suspicious by nature and narrow-minded. Although he has worked with General Huangfu for many years, he has resentment and conflicts in his heart because he has been subordinated to him for many years. He may trust him, but he will only take the opportunity to take back the military power and put his own people in to control it. Although General Huangfu has 5 people under his command, most of them are old subordinates who followed him to conquer the north. How could they really respect Dong Zhuo? ? Soldiers centrifugal, these [-] people seem to be many, but the combat power is also limited, so there is no evidence."

The greatest value of Huangfusong actually lies in himself. Although Dong Zhuo is the person who understands this point best, he is also the one who will never reuse him.

Xun You was thoughtful, secretly startled by Yan Qing's vicious eyes.

Just as he was about to retreat, Yan Qing suddenly smiled and wrote lightly: "As for the new emperor, there is no need to move."

The puppet emperor who can live in Dong Zhuo's hands must have seen those bloody and brutal methods, so he knows the importance of obedience.

What good could happen to the Deposed Emperor?

If Yan Qing tried to save him, he would continue to rely on Yan Qing as if he was wrapped around a life-saving straw.

Xun You was startled for a moment, looked at Yan Qing peacefully, and nodded slowly after a while.

Although Yan Qing seemed to be probing, the decision he made was actually the result of careful consideration, not a temporary idea.

I'm not worried at all, this may touch the bottom line of the principles of the uncles and nephews of the Xun family who are loyal to the Han Dynasty.

After all, he only wants a person sitting on the throne who will not point fingers at him, or even stab a knife in the back. The degree of offense is probably much lighter.

Another reason is that Yan Qing has learned the painful lessons of countless people in history, and knows that anyone who reaches out to the throne is naturally full of suspicion of usurping power.

Until you have enough ability, try not to touch it as much as possible; if you have to touch it, you have to try your best to avoid it.

Yan Qing's intention is very clear - if he doesn't coerce the emperor, then no one else can.

If one day the emperor's mind becomes more active, it will be many years later. By then, Yan Qingshi's wings will have been completely full-fledged, and he will officially be on track.

Then whoever comes, has nothing to do with it, can't threaten him, and can't even miss him.

Guo Jia asked, "How many days will it take to make the siege equipment?"

Yan Qing looked at Liu Ye and said with a smile: "I have to ask Zi Yang about this, but since the day before yesterday, I have given him full responsibility for this matter, and have not asked again."

Liu Ye bowed slightly and replied, "At most it will take three days."

Three days.

Seeing that everything was ready, Dong Zhuo was also at a loss for the task of setting up a new emperor, so it was impossible for him to catch up.

It would be too wasteful to just wait in such a large gap...

Yan Qing pondered for a while, a plan vaguely emerged in his mind, he subconsciously called out: "Feng Xian, have you taken all those arrows off?"

But did not get the slightest reply.

Yan Qing raised his eyes slightly in astonishment, Zhang Liao replied cautiously: "My lord, General Lu is still in the future."

Yan Qing asked strangely: "He has never been late for this kind of small meeting, why did he delay?"

After all, people are very busy these days, as long as it doesn't delay the handling of affairs, Yan Qing doesn't make any demands on whether all the attendees arrive at the small meeting or whether they are on time.

But at the same time, he also knew that Lu Bu had always maintained the most active attitude to participate in the gatherings where he could get close to him openly, and he had never even been late, let alone absent.

Has the situation on the front line changed?

Zhang Liao paused, and couldn't help revealing a little embarrassment that he couldn't express.

Yan Qing was full of doubts, and asked: "What happened?"

Gao Shun lowered his head and pretended to be dead, Zhang Liao looked left and right, but no one came to rescue him, he just said with a look of dismay: "I don't know why, General Lu likes to be clean recently, every time my lord summons me, I have to make a special trip to burn incense and take a bath, Change your clothes and shoes to show your importance. I am afraid that General Sun asked him to say a few words today, and he was delayed for a while, so he couldn't make it in time—"

Before he finished speaking, he changed into a brand-new war robe, which still carried a faint fragrance of grass and trees. He looked like a refreshed and heroic Lu Bu, so he lifted the curtain and walked in briskly. .

Zhang Liao fell silent for a moment.

Lu Bu was not aware of the fact that he was looking at the strange eyes of the whole group of people, he just bowed to Yan Qing respectfully, and said: "It's a little late, but I hope the Lord will forgive me."

Yan Qing: "...It's okay, just sit down."
