Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

Lu Bu has always been very magnanimous towards the generals he likes.

What's more, the arrow just missed his arm and hurt a layer of oily skin. What he remembered deeply was only the sharp aim and strong force, not the displeasure of being shot.

Seeing that the two people who are very similar in both preferences and temperament really hit it off, Yan Qing changed the topic smoothly, and was also very satisfied, and then walked into the hall, and saw Guo who was not in a good shape on the seat before. Jia sat upright and winked at him.

What kind of trouble is Guo Jia going to make?

Yan Qing blinked back calmly, sat in the fixed position between him and Lu Bu as usual, and waited quietly.

Gan Ning, who came from Yangzhou, really brought a piece of news that made him quite disturbed: the two most powerful and difficult to reconcile forces in Hebei, Yuan Shao in Jizhou and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, have reached an unprecedented agreement in history. situation of reconciliation.

Not only did they declare a truce, but they also temporarily formed an alliance of advancing and retreating together.

Compared with the other people who looked dignified and nodded slightly, Yan Qing was undoubtedly the most shocked one.

No one knew better than him that Gongsun Zan's arrogance came purely from the bottom of his bones. Whether it was his obsession with avenging his brother's murder or his stubborn refusal to show weakness, it was impossible for him to turn his fight into friendship with Yuan Shao.

In history, both sides could not do anything to each other for a while, and he was at the moment when his soldiers were exhausted and Yuan Shao had a decisive advantage. Facing the envoy sent by Yuan Shao to show weakness and make peace, Gongsun Zan also killed him unwillingly. Compromised, and also overhauled the moats and trenches to strengthen the defenses. Like Dong Zhuo, he came to store food on the spot, refused to rescue the subordinates who were fighting alone, and put himself to death.

Who is so capable and can persuade him to change his mind?

As soon as Yan Qing's question popped up, he was immediately answered by himself: Who else would be fooled by the collateral effect he caused!

Tao Qian's letter was indeed sent to Qingzhou Tian Kai and Beihai Kong Rong first, but without such a key person as Tai Shici, it took Kong Rong a lot of effort to drive away the yellow scarf thief Guan Hai who came prepared. , where is there any spare energy to send troops to rescue the suffering brothers and sisters who have been beaten back and forth and have no power to fight back?

Unable to wait for his rescue, Tao Qian was in a state of desperation, so he could only listen to the words of Mi Zhu, who was in charge of Biejia, and turned to his neighbor Lu Bu, who was a hungry tiger, for help.

Xu Huang, who had been waiting for this day, sent troops to kill Sun Ce without saying a word.

Purely from the point of view of military strength, fighting with [-] to [-] is definitely a difficult battle, but Tao Qian's soldiers and horses seem to be a lot of numbers, but they are actually a bluff, and they are incomparable with the elite soldiers raised by Lu Bu Cao Cao.

After repeated confrontations, Cao Jun was indeed slightly victorious.However, Cao Cao had soldiers from Qingzhou, and Tao Qian was familiar with the location, so he could avoid direct confrontation and only play detours, which could delay time.

However, Cao Cao is shrewd, and naturally knows that he has a long way to go. Even if there are rice grains looted along the way to satisfy his hunger, he will not be able to withstand the consumption of a long battle, so he never pursues the troops who come to harass him. As the most important base in the rear, Yanzhou was attacked by Lu Bu, and all of them were lost. The sad news came that most of Ai Jiang’s family members were captured, which caused the army’s morale to be chaotic. Xu Huang and Sun Ce led troops to help Tao Qian stop Cao Jun's invasion, which is really not a realistic thing.

Following Xi Zhicai's strategy, Cao Cao was determined to give it a go before he was attached to Yuan Shao again. He released the smoke that he was going north to Liaodong. In fact, he lingered in the border area between Qingzhou and Xuzhou, waiting for the news of Yuan Shao's battle with Lu Bu. As soon as it came, he wanted to take the opportunity to occupy Qingzhou.

I don't want Yuan Shao to be indecisive, unable to make up his mind again and again, and always scruples about Gongsun Zan's covetousness in the rear. Cao Zhuo has a strong ambition and exquisite military skills, but he doesn't hold the initiative.

Seeing this situation, I can only sigh, give up waiting for the response, suppress my anxiety, and go to try my luck again.

At the same time, another frustrated person who was plotted by Yan Qing has a full understanding with Cao Cao who lost his place of refuge and had to live under the fence, waiting for the next day to start anew.

That was because Liu Bei, who did not get Tai Shici's petition and logically went to support Xuzhou to save Tao Qian, naturally missed a good opportunity to break away from his former classmate Gongsun Zan.

No wonder.

After all, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are their temporary targets, and they can accommodate them there. With Lu Bu, a new enemy who has risen in front of them, they don't care about the overall situation. Fighting for some trivial personal grievances, wouldn't it be tantamount to seeking their own death ?

Yuan Shao had Cao Cao's kind words to help him, and Gongsun Zan had Liu Bei's clever words to mediate, so they got twice the result with half the effort.

Lu Bu snorted and said, "It's so imposing, it's obvious that Chong Bu is coming."

After Yan Qing figured it out, he calmed down a lot. Anyway, when he agreed to Guo Jiana's plan to fight Cao Cao directly, he was mentally prepared that he would not be able to eradicate the grass and leave behind a lot of trouble. : "As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind, and the lord is strong, so it is inevitable to stand on the cusp of the storm."

But in this way, it is indeed quite effective, at least temporarily restraining them, so it is not easy to attack Qingzhou rashly.

Even if Lv Bu is outstanding, it would be very difficult to deal with the joint forces of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan at the same time, not to mention Cao Cao and Liu Bei are also helping them.

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "From Jia's point of view, the alliance between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan seems vulnerable, but it is not. With the strength of one party alone, it is by no means an opponent of the lord, but it can make the other party feel threatened. , it is inevitable to join forces to resist, so it is very tricky and difficult to deal with. What's more, the lord is now ruling the three states, and the prestige of the army is very important. He is almost the most powerful among the princes. The target of the target made Cao Cao fall in love with him, and instead made him a wedding dress."

"That makes sense." Lu Bu nodded modestly, "Then what should we do in the view of filial piety?"

Guo Jia shook his fan: "Why don't you join forces with Bingzhou first, then further drive apart the Yuan family brothers, then slowly break the Shao-Zan alliance, and finally wait for an opportunity to catalyze the conflict between the Ma Han and Wang Yun factions."

"Forcing the two factions to fight, the emperor's persuasion failed, and there must be fear. When he wants to escape from Chang'an, the lord can welcome him into Juancheng, and there will be no danger in the west. Whether it is time to fight or preemptive strikes, Your Majesty will be there. The hand is to use obedience to overcome disobedience."

"I see the same thing as Feng Xiao." Yan Qing also nodded, and as he spoke, he quickly thought about the candidate: "At the beginning, Zhang Xiu coaxed Ma and Han to send their protons to the capital to ask Xiao Xiao. The emperor bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister. Except for some food and grass, and the glamorous power, he had no real benefits. He had to endure day and night the vicious words of the old officials headed by Wang Yun. They value power and rights and despise King Quan, in Xiliang, said one thing, and is used to being king and hegemony, how could he endure these humiliations for a long time? It is not difficult for them to intensify their rift and draw their swords against each other."

Although Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't have the guts to rebel directly, to pinch Liu Xie directly in their hands or to kill them altogether, they were absolutely mercenary.In history, when their demands were not satisfied by Li Cui, who was in charge of the court at that time, they turned their faces and turned their faces. They would not listen to Liu Xie's persuasion, and immediately attacked Sili. If they didn’t get home, they led the Xiliang iron cavalry, which was hailed as the most powerful army in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and they were still driven back to their hometown in disgrace).

In the face of absolute power, Zhang Xiu, who has not really developed a three-inch tongue, is not qualified to be this stirring stick.

There is a plan, and it looks very good, but it is not so easy to find someone who can take on the job.

Yan Qing and Guo Jia looked at each other silently, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Seeing the abundance of talents on weekdays makes me feel gratified, but when I really use it, I only regret that there are too few and too few.

Speaking of Hanoi County, the first thing Yan Qing thought of was not Zhang Yang, the prefect who was an old friend with Lu Bu, but the second son of Sima Fang's heir in Xiaojingli, Wenxian County, one of the "Sima Bada", known as "Sima Bada". Sima Yi, the minister of Yingyang, who has few strange festivals, is clever and simple, is erudite and acquainted with Confucianism.

... If I remember correctly, I will be 15 years old after the Chinese New Year.

"The matter of combining vertical and horizontal relations can be handed over to Zijing." Yan Qing refrained from thinking about Sima Yi, who was still too young to be an adult, and only thought that Lu Su, a powerful diplomatic master, would finally not have to use his talents for nothing this time, without hesitation So he put this job on his head: "What does Feng Xiao think?"

Guo Jia knew that Lu Su was elegant and humorous, well-known in all aspects, well-known in the countryside, and sophisticated in strategy, so he paused for a while, but did not raise any objections, and only accepted Yan Qing's words: "Yes. A letter is fine, let Jia do it."

Yan Qing rejoiced: "With Feng Xiao's words, that would be great."

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and asked again: "You can see how severe the locust plague and drought were that year?"

After crossing the Ming Road, Yan Qing stopped being vague and paused for a while, directly quoting the few words describing the catastrophe in the Romance: "The drama of locust infestation has almost exhausted the crops. The border of the Kanto , one dendrobium per grain, and fifty guan of direct money, so that the people can eat each other."

Guo Jia nodded, and said solemnly: "How sure is Chongguang?"

Yan Qing knew that he was asking himself how sure this disaster would happen, so he couldn't help hesitating for a moment, and finally gave a conservative number: "It should be [-]%."

Unlike avoidable man-made disasters, natural disasters are almost impossible to be affected by a single person, let alone a catastrophe recorded in the annals of history that killed hundreds of thousands of families in Chang'an, so Yan Qing dared to be so sure.

Guo Jia hummed, and the facts proved that his confidence in Yan Qing's ability was far greater than Yan Qing's self-confidence, and he said directly: "When the locust plague appears, it is the day to raise troops."

They discussed in full swing, and for a moment they forgot about the people around them.If it was Jia Xu or Xu Shu, they would have interjected on their own, but Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, who were accustomed to the two military advisers' supernatural powers, just glanced at the newcomer Gan Ning who was stunned and full of awe, and said nothing seriously Listen up.

When it comes to the temporary alliance established by Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, Yan Qing and Guo Jia have the same views once again: since they can shake hands and make peace, let’s ignore the old hatred, but only from the perspective of the advantages of both parties, it is also possible Destined not to last long.

If one side has food and the other has soldiers, and a complementary relationship can be achieved, which can provide support for each other, then that's fine. However, both Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have the ambition to conquer the world. They both have soldiers and lack food. Willing to send it to the other party has strengthened the strength of the cheap ally who doesn't know when it will turn against him?

If there is an imminent crisis, it will strengthen the alliance of the two forces that have to defend against foreign enemies together, and vice versa: Lu Bu stands still, and as long as it takes time, the alliance that is riddled with holes and vents on all sides will be broken without attack.

It's just that nights are long and dreams are many, neither Yan Qing nor Guo Jia are willing to wait so long when there are variables at any time.

Besides, they can see this, so why can't Cao Cao and Liu Bei not?Mostly they have other plans, and they just want to procrastinate for a while.

It's no wonder that he and Lu Bu now have this kind of intimacy. Even for the sake of the other party, he still has to take care of himself: if something goes wrong, Lu Bu doesn't seem to be a person who can abandon his selfish desires and take care of the overall situation. Minutes to throw everything away and go berserk, let all the painstaking efforts go to waste, and everything collapses.

Otherwise, Yan Qing thinks that he has used his ability to know history well and predict the enemy's opportunities beforehand, and then history will completely take a fork in the road. He can't do much, and he has the weapon of cards to save his life , I really don't mind putting myself in danger.

After all, the place in Chang'an can be handed over to Jia Xu, who was born in Wuwei, Xiliang, and is skilled in this field. But the most important matter of breaking the alliance, he will meet at this moment, but he really can't think of a suitable candidate.

Lu Bu didn't know Yan Qing's thoughts, and kept watching silently and vigilantly. Even though Yan Qing and Guo Jia were discussing deeply, and the two heads were inadvertently pressed very close, he kept his expression unchanged.

It wasn't until they got closer and closer that they were about to stick together that they suddenly got up.

His movement was not small, and he directly moved the table and chairs in front of him, making quite a loud noise, causing the other four people to look at him in unison.

Seeing Lu Bu with a pleasant face, he said very considerately: "Since we need to make a long-term plan, why wait for a while? It's getting late, so Bu will pass the meal on."
