Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

Lu Bu's shady little crookedness was immediately exposed by the sharp-eyed Guo Jia, and Yan Qing felt uncomfortable as his partner.

He coughed lightly: "Since you see through it, why bother to reveal it?"

Guo Jia glanced at him coolly, and said with a smirk: "If you don't tell the truth, how can Chong Guang believe that I have seen it?"

Yan Qing was speechless to respond.

At this moment, Lv Bu finished his conversation with Chen Gong and the others, strode forward without looking at Guo Jia, and directly addressed Yan Qing: "Chongguang please write a few words on behalf of Bu, and hand them over to Gong Jin." .”

As soon as he talked about the business, Yan Qing put aside the little embarrassment just now, and said solemnly: "This is a matter of clearing the responsibility, and the master can just pass it on."

It is not for nothing to read so many books, and it is not for nothing to listen to the counselors' discussions for so many days. : "I was also a minister of the great Han Dynasty, guarding one side of the country. Now I see my father-in-law passing away suddenly. I feel very sorry. I am grateful to my old friend for relying on Xuzhou. Carefully select a talented person to be his successor. It is a pity that I am too involved in business, so I cannot be there in person, nor should I receive congratulations, so I entrust Gongjin to mourn on behalf of him, and then I will play the Son of Heaven, and please confer one or two titles on behalf of the patriarch."

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu pleaded: "Bu has little talent and learning, so there must be something wrong with his words, so I ask Chong Guang to help polish it."

Yan Qing should be fine.

He didn't show anything on his face, but his heart couldn't help jumping up and down at this heroic and calm Lu Bu, and he felt admiration.

However, Lu Bu's attitude of humbly asking for advice and being a corporal fell into the eyes of the staff who had not yet left, and immediately made them nod secretly.

In addition, after taking advantage of him, he was not arrogant and arrogant, but responded modestly and decently, remembering to appease the Xuzhou people who missed Tao Qian's kindness and were anxious about his coming, it was very important. satisfy.

"Please wait a moment, my lord, Qing will come right away."

Yan Qing didn't want to procrastinate, so he went straight back into the inner hall, and wanted to deal with the matter immediately.

Lu Bu followed closely behind without hesitation, but Guo Jia, who could go back to the house to catch up on sleep, followed in silently for some reason.

The grinding is done in advance, and the paper is also ready-made.Yan Qing sat quietly for a while, finished the draft, and then moved the brush with a sharp tip, which can be said to be accomplished in one stroke.

Spread it flat on the desk, and seal it when the ink is completely dry.

Lu Bu watched Yan Qing's elegant and beautiful movements with fascination, and couldn't move his eyes away.

And this obsessive gesture fell into the eyes of Guo Jia, who was dazed for a while, but quickly recovered, and his eyelids twitched again because he couldn't bear to look directly.

Yan Qing silently read the written document from beginning to end again to make sure there were no omissions. Fang Anxin put down the pen, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the two people who rarely get along peacefully in private.

After meeting Yan Qing's puzzled gaze, Lu Bu slowly came to his senses, but he did not appear serious, but asked seriously: "The expedition that was delayed due to Tao Qian's incident, according to the light, will go in the afternoon. So as not to miss the plane, or choose another day?"

Yan Qing: "..."

He really forgot all about it.

Before Yan Qing could answer, Guo Jia spoke slowly: "To tell you the truth, the reason why Jia stayed is also about this matter. I have something to say to my lord and Chongguang."

Yan Qing, who has always valued Guo Jia's opinion very much, said without hesitation when he heard it, "Please tell me as a filial piety."

Guo Jia was not humble either, he nodded in acceptance, and immediately said: "According to Jia's opinion, if Chongguang's suggestion to send troops to attack Qingzhou is aimed at Cao Cao, I am afraid there is no need to go to war again."

Yan Qing: "Why is this?"

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, and walked towards the map hanging in the middle of the hall, without answering, he asked instead: "Chongguang thinks that Cao Cao is a mediocre person who doesn't know how to change and doesn't hesitate to sacrifice his life, or is he good at adapting and understanding current affairs?" talent?"

Without even thinking about it, Yan Qing said, "It must be the latter."

Guo Jia is now standing in front of the map, first clicked on the Qingzhou board, then went to Xuzhou directly below it, and then followed to Yanzhou and Jizhou on the upper left...

As for the sea water on the right side, there is no need to look too much.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Is the reason simple enough?"

When Yan Qing walked to the map, he had already come to his senses.

How happy Lu Bu was to win Xuzhou without any effort, but how uncomfortable it was to eat Cao Cao who took Tao Qian's salary from the bottom of the pot before his death.

According to the original idea, Lu Bu, who had just taken Yanzhou and made a special trip to Chang'an to welcome the emperor, would not raise troops easily for at least a year or two, and focus on settling the interior.

Even with that spare energy and eagerness, the first to bear the brunt is Jingzhou Liu Biao and Jizhou Yuan Shao, or the multi-party forces in the melee of Bingzhou, not Qingzhou, which only borders Yanzhou.

Just dealing with Gongsun Zan, who is brave and foolish, eager for revenge, and employing cronyism, and Tao Qian, who is old, powerless and frightened, he is completely capable. Lian Liangzhou Ma Teng Han Sui, Bingzhou Heishan Army and Jingzhou Liu Biao were used to contain Lu Bu.

But Tao Qian's action completely ruined this plan.

As long as Cao Cao is not stupid, he can see that even if he tries his best to lay down Qingzhou as a base for self-cultivation, he is doomed to lose the opportunity for development.

Yuan Shao in Jizhou was only struggling to support Gongsun Zan's fierce attack, and he was only one step away from losing all the games; Tao Qian even sacrificed without a fight, and handed over the huge Xuzhou to Lu; , you have to face being surrounded on three sides, and all ties with the Guanzhong area have been cut off, which is an unavoidable situation.

In this way, there were only two seemingly feasible strategies to slow down the army: one was to fully support Yuan Shao and help him fight against Gongsun Zan, in exchange for one of the three sides to be an alliance and have a retreat; the other was to make friends with Lu Bu and seek peace. After the vitality is fully recovered, look for an opportunity to form an alliance with Liu Biao, Gongsun Zan.

Both Yan Qing and Guo Jia believed that Cao Cao would not choose either of these two choices.

Not to mention whether he and Yuan Shao, who is already on his last breath, will be able to fight against Gongsun Zan, who has four counties in his hands, and Lu Bu, who has a strong military base and strong food and grass foundation, provides continuous support. Wear down quickly.

As for friendship?

Lu Bu is not as short-sighted as he used to be in history, and he will be fooled by petty profits.He wasn't stupid at all, he couldn't have given Cao Cao a chance to stand up, and did such a stupid thing as giving up the fat that was on his lips and raising tigers.

Thinking of Cao Cao's desperate situation, an idea suddenly appeared in Yan Qing's mind.

Could it be that Tao Qian, who was lingering on the sick bed and inactive for a long time, finally resisted all opinions and made the decision not to let his son inherit Xuzhou after his death, but to transfer it to Lv Bu, who had a strong military force? Have to ride a tiger?

After opening this breach, Yan Qing couldn't help but suddenly realized, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.

I don’t know why the Tao Qian in history would give up Xuzhou San to Liu Bei, but here he would do so, and his mind was so firm that he threatened him by throwing himself into the ground...I’m afraid I really hated him for fighting bravely back then. In the name of avenging the murder of his father, Cao Cao, who ruthlessly trampled on the territory of Xuzhou, exploited the common people, and oppressed Cao Cao, could not escape his ties.

His two sons are so incompetent, not to mention expanding the territory, even the family business he left behind is impossible to keep in the Kanto where the struggle is intensifying and the situation is gradually becoming clearer. In this case, it is better to start He entrusted it to Lu Bu to sell favors like a bet, in exchange for safety for his family, which also completely gave up hope for Cao Cao, who had been coveting this place.

Yan Qing couldn't help sighing: "Tao Qian's last plan is quite vicious, and it's hard to say how hard it is to trap Cao Cao."

Lü Bu looked puzzled, not knowing why Yan Qing praised Tao Qian for no reason.

Guo Jia blinked. He and Yan Qing had always had a good understanding, and he quickly realized that, as the culprit, he said with a little lingering fear: "Thanks to Chong Guang for keeping that matter secret enough."

Although Cao Song died tragically, it only gave Cao Cao, his son, a justifiable reason to send troops. After he invaded Xuzhou, he ravaged and harmed the living beings. Tao Qian, who has been running Xuzhou for many years, regarded it as his life's effort, hated him. The reason for this is to make other people know that the mastermind behind the plot and the trick of using a knife to kill people is Lv Bu's counselor.

It will never be as it is now, and a delicate balance has been skillfully struck: although Tao Qian knew that Lv Bu's rescue might have other plans, he didn't bother to think about it; He will not let go of such a good opportunity if he has a chance to change his position, so there is no such thing as a deep hatred for the winner and the loser.

Yan Qing put Tao Qian's matter aside, and admitted frankly: "But as long as Cao Cao is still outside for a day, I can't feel at ease for a day."

Guo Jia smiled and said relaxedly: "It's easy to do, the most important thing is whether you want to kill him, use him, or lock him up all the time."

Yan Qing was taken aback for a moment, but was stopped by the question.

It stands to reason that choosing to kill Cao Cao is the safest option.

Yan Qing, as the person who is most aware of the strength of this hero, has never thought of being soft-hearted from the very beginning. Relying on the advantage of knowing the history, he imposed intensive and strong blows and restrictions like a violent storm to protect Lu Bu on his way.

But at the same time, as a descendant who has read his countless deeds and recited his countless fascinating poems, when it comes to deciding whether to kill him, Yan Qing will inevitably feel hesitant.

However, his own personal feelings are still secondary. The point is that with Cao Cao's personality charm, most of his subordinates have deep admiration and admiration for him, and they are dedicated to serving him.If you really want to kill him, you have to be prepared to slaughter all his family members and core subordinates, and don't try to capture them.

Otherwise, when they try their best to hide their courage and pretend to be obedient, the future revenge will be more terrifying.

As for preventing thieves for a thousand days, it is not realistic at all.

When Cao Cao said, "I would rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world", he actually did a similar thing-in order to prevent his friend Boshe from retaliating after discovering that his family had been killed by mistake, he directly killed the people without knowing it. Bo She was killed confidently.

If you were Lu Bu, you couldn't follow suit.After all, Cao Cao is not an unknown junior, but a well-known prince. First he assassinated Dong Zhuo single-handedly, then he was a self-rebel, and he fought bravely when the Ten Routes Allied Forces attacked Dong Zhuo. .

Even if he commits a heinous crime in Xuzhou, outsider Siji and Tao Qian will be a little more tolerant when criticizing the mortal patricide feud between him and Tao Qian.

What's more, there is still the default rule that no harm can be done to the family at this moment. If it is just to eliminate future troubles, then do the cruel thing of killing all the prisoners of war and their families. , he will be completely destroyed, and besides being criticized by thousands of people, I am afraid that no one will dare to surrender to him.

Is it possible that he can only be placed under house arrest and locked up for a lifetime?

Yan Qing thought about it, but still couldn't make up his mind, so he looked at Guo Jia and Lu Bu, and asked, "What do you think, my lord and Feng Xiao?"
