Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

In January of the ninth year of Chuping, Cao Cao, who captured Qingzhou with difficulty and suffered from lack of food, read Guo Jia's book, and he really agreed to surrender with [-] pieces.

Lu Bu readily accepted, and the above mentioned his achievements in pacifying Qingzhou, and immediately sent his group to garrison Xuzhou as planned, and obeyed the instructions of the newly appointed governor of Xuzhou, Zhou Yu.

Since then, in the most critical Kanto area in the competition, Lu Bu has acquired everything except Hebei and Youzhou, which are being fought together.

However, these major changes in the situation will not have the slightest impact on the ordinary people who are under Lu Bu's protection, especially in terms of basic necessities of life.

Compared with other states and counties where the people compete for food, the bones are exposed, and the ten rooms are empty, the life of the three states under Lu Bu's rule is really moist and enviable.

If it is a child who goes through the market with gold in his hands, there will be people vying for it.

However, Lu Bu's military strength was even more astonishing than his grain and grass reserves, so no one dared to act rashly.

Waiting for the sallow and emaciated people to endure the most painful months in envy. With the auspicious snow heralding a good year and the arrival of the new year, they can finally prepare to sow and cultivate again.

After recuperating in this way for a year, the battle in Hebei came to a conclusion—Yuan Shao was finally overwhelmed, the Yuan family was completely destroyed, and Gongsun Zan, who had won a complete victory, was also very trustworthy, and happily distributed most of Jizhou to Lu Bu who had been providing food and grass. , and went back to Youzhou refreshed.

Of course, he didn't dare to renege on his debt.

Even though the time to farm and stockpile food was delayed due to the war, and a large number of troops were lost, it might be in exchange for a happy heart, Gongsun Zan thought it was very worthwhile.

As for the other princes, they seized the time and tried their best to resume production after the spring, and comforted the residents.

After this big loss, they no longer imitated Yan Qing's farming strategy as before, but learned from it thoroughly and carried it out with great fanfare.

When they discover that it is quite effective and taste the big sweetness, they will be more blatant when they follow the example and learn from it.

Yan Qing is naturally aware of this, but he doesn't care too much about it: as long as the people benefit in the end, it's fine.

He didn't want to leave and go to Lu Bu's hands in the end, a dilapidated country full of devastation and no grass growing.

The dynamics of the feudal lords used to be favored by all the students who liked to discuss political affairs with their classmates, but now they are even more fascinated by the fact that they have to figure out the imperial examination system implemented by the world-famous Yan Dahonglu. What exactly is going on.

The imperial court of the Han Dynasty now selects officials, using a bottom-up recommendation system. Although many talents have been discovered, the disadvantages are also great.

Yan Qing did not intend to spend another few hundred years to use the "Nine Grades of Zhongzheng System" proposed by Chen Qun in history to connect the past and make the transition. Instead, relying on his ability to cover the sky with one hand, he simply made this system doomed to great resistance. , to push forward boldly.

After all, they are the first batch, not only for the sake of caution, but also because the conditions are not mature enough. Of course, it is impossible for Yan Qing to copy the system that tended to be perfect in the Ming Dynasty. Three prefectures tried it out, and there were only three written exams and one palace exam, one at the beginning of each month, and the last one was in Xu County.

If the family is too poor to go to other places to catch the last game, the government can not only provide simple housing, subsidize food expenses, but even give some allowances to the family as compensation for the loss of a major labor force, which can be said to be enough for scholars decent.

Such favorable conditions can only be achieved by someone as rich and powerful as Lu Bushi.

Of course, in order to prevent people from fishing in troubled waters, the auditing standards are also very strict.Once discovered, they will be deprived of their qualifications for the three exams, and bad records will be left in the file. Make sure they don't use their brains and cherish their feathers.

Although those who can enter the third exam are mostly outstanding talents, Yan Qing doesn't want it to be a gap that can be exploited by interested people, so he simply blocked it with ugly words from the beginning.

Only 200 people will be selected for the palace examination, and then Lu Bu will personally appoint the position according to the ranking.

Most importantly, this exam is only held once every two years.

This caused the students from other states, who were still on the sidelines, to complain and make an uproar—out of the modesty and self-restraint of scholars, they did not want to end the competition, which is completely different from the fact that they were not qualified to try in the first place.

I originally planned to let others try it, waiting to see the jokes or excitement before considering whether to end, but when I heard that I would have to wait for a year if I missed it, I was not very happy.

The stricter the restriction, the more curious and belligerent they would be aroused when they sneered at it.

Especially among literati, there are always some who claim to be learned scholars, because Yan Qing has repeatedly made some reforms that made great efforts at the time when the nobles were declining and the rich were emerging, and he was extremely disgusted with him. He regards him as a lackey who seeks fame and flattery, and often publicly criticizes him, claiming to disdain to be with him.

As Yan Qing's reputation became more and more resounding, more and more praiseworthy, and full of fame, the crowd who hated him grew stronger and stronger. Not only did he scold him, but even Li Shu, who had received favors and deeply supported him, They were all denounced as 'fools'.

Imagine that as a person who was not allowed to participate in it, he won the first place and became a blockbuster right away, making the students of the three states far behind, and then walked away proudly, making Yan Qing, who was treated so differently, blush and blue, wouldn't it be a pleasure ?

Since only the students who entered the Sanzhou Academy were screened and allowed to register to play, they would reluctantly make a trip and temporarily record it as a name for the time being.

What they didn't expect was that Yan Qing, who arranged everything, had already figured out their rebellious psychology, and now he was sitting on the Diaoyutai with a smile on his face, waiting for them, who were smart enough, to scramble to exploit his deliberate intentions. holes left.

Seeing that after he announced that the first exam will be held in May, the number of adults applying for admission has increased significantly and continued, but he is very happy to see it.

Pretentious, if you want to openly pretend to slap him in the face, it depends on whether you are capable enough.

Yan Qing attached great importance to the first imperial examination. In order to ensure everything was safe, even the details were settled by himself. He didn't go back to the residence for a few months to rest, but directly took root in the school dormitory.

And the gold content is also very high.Yingchuan, Yuzhou, already had a reputation for outstanding people, and it became the place where Yan Qing vigorously developed new official schools, built libraries, and printed and sold paper books in batches. In the first one or two years, it attracted many scholars who came here admiringly.

This place is also a rare and stable place in the troubled times. Over the past few years, it can be said that the style of study is mellow, and it has become a holy place that all students are fascinated by.

Because many years ago, Yan Dahonglu went to the library to arrest Guo Jia in person under the watchful eyes of everyone, and made the latter rise from an unknown to the sky in one step to become the envied Yangzhou Biejia, and then shine in this position. Show what you have learned without saying anything, and become a lifelong friend with Yan Chongguang, who is well-known all over the world.

This beautiful story of a noble man with insightful eyes and a scholar who made it to the top is a story that people love to hear. He has been talked about, and he has done countless artistic processing, but it has made the library where this good thing happened. Almost everyone who thinks it is It is a thousand-mile horse that no one knows. I hope it can be favored by Bole Yanqing. From now on, people who have a prosperous official career will definitely visit this place frequently.

After Yan Qing heard this anecdote from Guo Jia, he really couldn't laugh or cry.

For those who think too much, their illusions are doomed to be shattered. He is so busy all day long, where does he have so much time to wander outside and find the lost pearl?

Besides, the horse is a real Maxima, but he is a fake Bole.

In any case, Yan Qing, who was under great pressure to obtain a scholar in this session of the imperial examination, still has great expectations: those who have learned from the school and have excellent comprehensive qualities Leaving aside the good seedlings, just mentioning that there is no age limit for the examination system, Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang under the imperial examination system can end at the same time.

Even though they are young, there are scenes where Wolong and Lu Dadu, who can be regarded as educated, wealthy and intelligent, are enough to kill a large number of people in an instant.

Don't say that this is the first time that the imperial examination system came into being in advance, and it is definitely worthy of being recorded in the annals of history just because of the two sides competing for glory.

In fact, Zhuge Liang had changed his name to Lu Liang after his adoptive father Lu Bu at this time, while Lu Yi had changed his name to Yan Yi after Yan Qing's surname.

However, Yan Qing subconsciously believed that the name Lu Liang was really ordinary, not as wise and wise as Zhuge Liang, so even though outsiders called him this way, when he and Lu Bu mentioned their second son in private, they still used their old name habitually.

In addition, the arrival of some unexpected people also caught Yan Qing's attention: Three of the famous "Sima Bada" in Hanoi came in one go, but it was a pity that Sima Yi was not among them; The Linhuai steppe who took refuge in Jiangdong and his family gradually declined; the young phoenix Pang Tong, and his teacher Pang Degong's only son Pang Shanmin...

When Lv Bu returned to the mansion exhausted, it was rare to see Yan Qing, who had been so busy lately and forgot to sleep and eat, was sitting in the inner hall, reading Lu Xun's articles carefully, which was very admirable.

Lu Bu sat down expressionlessly, took the warm teapot, and poured it into his mouth without pouring it into the cup.

Yan Qing only noticed him now, and smiled proudly: "My lord, why not take a look at this article, but the more you write, the better."

Lu Bu twitched the corners of his mouth, trying to put on a look of interest, then read the ten lines at a glance, and agreed casually: "It's really good. So, Liang'er has also improved a lot."

Yan Qing smiled slightly in her heart.

Lv Bu is an out-and-out pragmatist, and he is not proficient in poetry and poetry. How can he judge the quality of Zhuge Liang's writing?

However, he was very reasonable and did not expose Lu Bu's pretentiousness, but smiled brightly and said: "Oh? Can you take a look at it?"

Lu Bu curled his lips, and said in a very disgusted tone: "Is it possible that I still have to bring a furry homework with me?"

Yan Qing: "..."

He thought about it silently, and it seemed that he happily pasted the composition written by Lu Xun on the entire wall of the study and the inner hall, so that he could appreciate his precious son's masterpiece at any time.

If it weren't for Lu Xun, who has always been apprehensive and fearful towards him, who rarely showed strong embarrassment on this point, to the point where he had to solemnly raise objections at the dinner table, Yan Qing would never have let these things go for better. It is a hall to show off to the visitors.

What Lu Xun, who was only relieved, didn't know was that after holding back for a few days, Yan Qing developed a new problem—bringing all the guests into the inner hall for a walk, saying a few words implicitly, waiting for them Hearing the sound of the strings, he knew the elegant meaning, and after complimenting Lu Xun severely, he felt satisfied and started discussing the business.

The effect was immediate, and within a month, the whole world knew that Yan Qing had acquired a adopted son whom he liked very much, and he not only treated him as his own, but regarded him as a treasure. All follow suit.

Yan Qing is now [-]% satisfied with Lu Xun. Hearing that Lu Bu treated Zhuge Liang carelessly, he couldn't help but said, "You are too unfamiliar and indifferent to Liang'er. The child is still young, so you should get closer to him."

Lu Bu snorted softly, and replied confidently: "He knows how to follow Feng Xiao all day long, how can he have the slightest admiration for me?"

Yan Qing thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be true.

For this reason, Guo Jia was surprised and proud, and deliberately dangled in front of Lu Bu.

If we want to continue talking about this topic, the flames will probably be set on Guo Jia, Yan Qing wisely changed the topic, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I sat down with my lord, let's have a good talk."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Is Chong Guang finished?"

Yan Qing hummed, and rubbed the center of his brows with difficulty concealing his fatigue: "I have re-examined twice, and there is absolutely no possibility of making a big mistake. The rural examination will start tomorrow, and I can be free for a while, mainly due to the busy work of the subordinates."

As the chief examiner, he became busier and more responsible as he went on.

Lu Bu patted Yan Qing's shoulder gently, massaged him skillfully, and said, "It's been a while since Yi'er came back."

Yan Qing didn't know how the relationship between him and Lu Xun got better strangely. Hearing this, he felt a little disappointed and said: "Yes, it is not only for the convenience of review, but also to avoid suspicion."

Although he knows how to use vague names, Yan Qing took time to read the articles written by Lu Xun in his busy schedule, so he can almost recite them backwards, how can he not recognize the handwriting and style of writing?

After thinking about it, he still didn't participate in the process of marking the final test.

Although he himself has been very busy lately, it is not easy to say a few words to Lu Xun who is preparing for the exam, but when he thinks that he has not seen the figure of his proud son for so long, he can only pass The way of appreciating his articles, talking about comfort, is like scratching the itch, and it is still not very exciting.

He could only send two caring and considerate servants to take care of his daily life, so as not to collapse due to the crazy concentration before finishing the exam.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing felt a little helpless: "I don't know why, but there seems to be a slight discord between Liang'er and Yi'er."

He still used a rather polite way of saying it.

Is it more than a slight disagreement?It is basically like fire and water, tit for tat.

Although Zhuge Liang is young and energetic, he is not an arrogant and unreasonable person.On the contrary, the reason why the people around him are such a headache, but they can't do anything about it is because he can speak well, they can't really hate him, and they can maintain the superficial harmony.

And his independent specialty has gradually attracted a small group of fans.

If you say that he is a slanted sword, Lu Xun perfectly fits most people's definition of a gentle gentleman.

It is strange to say that Lu Xun, who has always been strict with himself, lenient with others, never contending with others, humble, self-controlled, and courteous, lost his gentle and tolerant attitude only in Zhuge Liang, and treated him indifferently, without going any further. Hide your dislike for him.

Because the two of them are rare and talented people, they quickly shifted from the occasional confrontation of words to the competition of evaluation, which is really a turbulent undercurrent.

If Yan Qing wanted to read it in a pertinent way, aside from other things, in terms of age alone, Lu Xun, who was two years younger than Zhuge Liang and had two years less education, was already a small loser.

It was also because of this that Lu Xun was spurred on and became more and more angry. In order to surpass the other party in the ranking, he was so determined that he even put aside the usual breakfast and dinner with his father, which he was most looking forward to, and took root directly in the school dormitory.

He was already very talented, so he worked hard day and night, and soon showed his power.

When Zhuge Liang was overtaken by Lu Xun, who often hovered between second and fourth, for the first time, he was in a daze.

Although Lu Xun won once and did not show off his power in front of him, Zhuge Liang was still greatly stimulated and stopped thinking about the exquisite new crossbow. .

Although they regained the top spot, anyone can see that the gap between them is constantly narrowing.

So Zhuge Liang had no time to breathe, and was forced to keep learning, which made the master quite gratified.

After Yan Qing was free for a while, he discovered Lu Xun's abnormal condition. He had lost a lot of weight, how could he not feel distressed.

The son is lazy and does not study, and the father is worried; the son is too hardworking, but he still has to worry.

There is no limit to the sea of ​​books, where can you finish reading without wasting your body?

After understanding the general situation of the matter, although she didn't know the root cause of their conflict, Yan Qing thought about it, and immediately went to talk to another parent, Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't want to pay attention to the open and secret fight between the two little kids, so he just waved his hand and handed over the whole situation to Yan Qing.

Yan Qing originally wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Lu Bu eagerly rubbed his fists: "Do you want to start beating? If you beat him too much, you will be obedient."

Yan Qing couldn't help it, so he had a long talk with his wife who was happy to see the result, and then arrested Lu Xun to give him a face-to-face order, and finally stopped the fierce fight.

Lu Xun started to go home on time again, and Zhuge Liang had time to play with his little invention again.

In fact, Zhuge Liang, who likes to toss with handicrafts and make some weird little creations when he has nothing to do, is obviously more suitable for science if he goes to later generations, while Lu Xun, who adheres to the way of a gentleman, is a liberal arts student through and through.

It stands to reason that they are two people who are opposite to each other, but they just got into a fight like this.

Yan Qing was extremely curious about this, and it was not that he had never asked Lu Xun, but he, who always answered his own questions, insisted on refusing to speak this time.

So is Zhuge Liang.

Yan Qing had no choice but to continue to hold this question in his mind, and leave it to find the answer by himself in the future.

In the end, he couldn't find the answer. He thought it was a deadly battle, but with the upcoming rural examination, it was about to revive again.

Yan Qing was extremely tired, there was no one around, and he was not afraid of losing his appearance, so after applying a hot towel to his eyes, he directly laid his pillow on Lu Bu's strong thigh.

He thought it was too hard, so he grabbed one of Lu Bu's arms, put the slightly softer palm behind his head, and said helplessly, "You and I are so close, better than husband and wife, how can my sons get along with each other?"

Lu Bu raised the corners of his lips, obviously he liked the first half of the sentence, but he didn't want to comment on the second half.

Baby Jijiu is too soft-hearted to be disciplined.But it doesn't matter, if Zhongguang is really worried that they won't get along, after the exam, he can take Zhuge Liang and give him a good beating. Didn't the old man use a stick to teach him a lesson?

In this way, Zhuge Liang had to have a better attitude towards Lu Yi.

As for that kid Lu Yi, although his hypocrisy is quite annoying, he is not a good-tempered person who would take the initiative to trouble others, and being held in the hands of Chong Guang, he would like to be pampered by the heavens, so he can't be taught a lesson easily.

Yan Qing didn't know that Lv Bu's calculations were rattling, and after sighing a few words about the parenting scriptures, he turned to another place: "Ma Zhong has been away for almost two years, is there a letter?"

After controlling Cao Cao's serious affliction, Yan Qing's mood became much more open-minded.

After all, compared with Cao Cao, who raised his arms, had countless followers, and had a strong appeal, Liu Bei, who was a late bloomer, saw stitches, and followed the line of being close to the people, was much easier to deal with.

Especially in the early stage, Liu Bei lacked everything except for the two powerful righteous brothers, as long as he didn't give him a chance to stand out.

On the other hand, Ma Zhong was sent to Jingzhou to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Liu Bei under Guo Jia's suggestion, but for some reason, there has been no news.

Lu Bu was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking about it for a while: "Oh, it seems that several letters from him have come in one after another."

Yan Qing wondered, "Why didn't it reach me?"

Where Yan Qing couldn't see, Lu Bu's eyes fluttered slightly, but he avoided answering, "I'll find it for you in a while."

"it is good."

Yan Qing has always been knowledgeable and interesting, so he didn't ask questions. He closed his eyes again, and while enjoying Lu Bu's massage technique at ease, he said: "In fact, it's better not to kill Liu Bei, but to drive him away so as not to get in the way at the critical moment. He has to If you don’t come to your own territory, even if you can gain the hearts of the people, it’s nothing to be afraid of.”

In history, more than [-] people left their hometowns out of gratitude for Liu Shijun's benevolence, and followed the spectacular scenes that followed. I am afraid they will not be able to see them.

Obviously, he has not formally sent troops to attack anyone in the past two years, but the land that Lu Bu occupied has expanded rapidly: Xuzhou, which Tao Qian gave away for nothing, Qingzhou, which surrendered with Cao Cao, and Jizhou, which was divided in half by Gongsun Zan. In terms of evaluation, Lu Bu is the strongest warlord who deserves it. He also has the reputation of loving the people like a son, caring for the people, respecting the virtuous and corporal, and appointing talented people.

The road is indeed getting easier.

Thinking of the hardships at the beginning, Yan Qing couldn't help being filled with emotion.

At the beginning, he was a notorious guard under Dong Zhuo, and then he used his tactics to monopolize Dong Dagong; then he persuaded Lu Buli to refuse to stay in Beijing and share the government with Wang Yun, and instead invited him to be the governor of Yuzhou; When Yuan Shu went out to attack Cao Cao, he made a surprise attack on the rear, took Yangzhou, and brought Jiangdong Xiaobawang and Mei Zhoulang under his command; then he planned to ignite the war between Xuzhou Taoqian and Yanzhou Cao Cao. Concealing the sky and crossing the sea, he took tens of thousands of elites to storm the empty base camp, quickly overcoming the tough three counties guarded by Xun Yu and others; before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was attacked south by the alliance of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. Hilariously stabbing in the back...

Finally got it out of the way.

"En." Lu Bu had never put Liu Bei in his eyes before, and he didn't know why Guo Jia and Yan Qing were facing such great enemies. Hearing the words, he only responded lightly, expressing his understanding.

His hands are extremely steady, and he touches the ground, just like the patient owner who smooths the cat's fur, making Yan Qing feel so comfortable that he is about to fall asleep.

Yan Qing just wanted to close his eyes and rest his mind, but now he was so heavy that he couldn't get up, so he forcibly raised his spirits and continued: "How is the repair of the Temple of Heaven?"

Lu Bu answered cleverly: "Chongguang wants it to be fast, and it can be done in one year; if Chongguang wants it to be slow, it can be difficult in ten years."

Yan Qing smiled understandingly: "According to Qing, when the lord takes down Jing, Yi, and the three prefectures, the Altar of Heaven should be repaired."

As for Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, who had never had much trouble with them, Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang, and the far southernmost Shikui, who was hard to get to, and Liaodong County, which was directly facing the barbarians in the northeast, it wasn't true. It is imperative.

Take the big state with the most fertile land, the richest city, and the most dense population, and the Han Dynasty can be replaced.The rest, tidy up slowly, and it doesn't matter if they are unified.

In fact, this is still a bit urgent, but Yan Qing didn't want to delay for too long.

It was because he was tired of having to be polite to the little emperor all the time, and he tried every means to ride on Lu Bu's head, and took advantage of his status as a monarch to provoke them everywhere.

Lu Bu is an outstanding person in the world. If he hadn't fought bravely and rescued him many times, he would only count on those so-called humerus ministers who were left after being killed by Dong Zhuo and who only knew how to "talk with one's heart at ordinary times, and repay the king when they are in danger". I'm afraid the bones are freezing.

But Liu Xie didn't know how to be kind, and turned his face when he was provoked a little bit. Yan Qing was so tired of making Lu Bu kneel down to coax a big-hearted child.

Moreover, Lu Bu is now thirty-seven.

Of course, for a hero who is already famous all over the world and has power over the government and the public, he can't be called old at all. In modern times, he can be called young and vigorous, and he is in the prime of his life.

But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when it is rare to live to 70 years old, it cannot be said to be young.

Ascend to Dabao earlier, so that Lu Bu can enjoy the supreme honor, which is worthy of his heroic arrogance and peerless demeanor, for a longer time.

If Lv Bu is like Cao Cao, going through the wind and rain, going through life and death, working hard for most of his life, but always scruples, not even being named emperor, and still being crowned by his heirs, Yan Qing will never be able to bear it.

Lv Bu was as good as he was, and said, "Bu also thinks so."

Yan Qing quickly passed the three states in his mind, and quickly found out the soft persimmon, but he didn't say anything, but wanted to test Lu Bu first: "My lord, which state should be conquered next year?"

Lu Bu said without thinking, "Bingzhou."

Yan Qing blinked, and involuntarily came up with a guess.

Anyway, he used to be a die-hard fan of Lu Bu, so it was impossible to forget that his idol was from Wuyuan County of Bingzhou, and he had served in the Bingzhou Army for a long time.

Later, he fully proved his bravery, and he was valued by Ding Yuan, the governor at that time, and his status rose step by step.

Before he became the peerless brave general of Wei Anangzang, he killed his adoptive father Ding Yuan for Chi Tu and Jin Zhu, and followed Dong Zhuo's help and torture. It is worth not to mention it.

Even if Lu Bu left his homeland for many years, now that he has achieved great success and is dressed in fine clothes, he feels nostalgic, so he thought about taking the tyrannical method of directly conquering Bingzhou and returning home with vigor and glory, Yan Qing would not have planned to speak out against it.

Instead, he was going to temporarily change the plan and indulge him to achieve his wish.

Lu Bu didn't know how much Yan Qing loved him, so he just replied casually: "Familiar, easy to beat."

Afraid that Yan Qing didn't understand enough, Lu Bu hurriedly added: "The chaos in Bingzhou is trivial, and the terrain is familiar. I am also familiar with Zhang Yang (now the governor of Bingzhou). His weaknesses are very clear, and he is very easy to fight."

In fact, Lu Bu still has a little thought, that is, he wants to take Yan Qing to visit his parents' graves, so that he can tell the elders under the nine springs that he has found a decent and decent wife.

But when he thought that since he left his hometown, the situation in Bingzhou had been in chaos, and it might be difficult to keep a few straw graves, so he lost interest and decided not to mention it.

However, Yan Qing's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard this - dare to love Lu Bu, and he also has the problem of being bullied and arrogant.

Lu Bu asked, "What does Chongguang think?"

Yan Qing shook his head: "Zhang Yan is willing to bring tens of thousands of elites from the Black Mountain Army to help support the northern barrier, and he did a good job. Why bother to compete with him for this tiring work?"

Moreover, Zhang Yan put it nicely is knowing the current affairs, and putting it bluntly is bullying.At the beginning, he was a rebel leader. In his heyday, he also claimed to have gathered millions of people, and when he ran amok, the government and army were unable to wipe it out.

After picking a suitable time to go to the court to show his submission, he fought bloody battles with the Yuan family in Jizhou, but after Cao Cao showed his strength to dominate the north, he led his troops to surrender in time.

As long as Lu Bu maintains such a strong momentum that no one can provoke and sweep the world, Zhang Yan will definitely not dare to confront Lu Bugang.

Seeing Lv Bu's pensive expression, Yan Qing continued: "However, over the years, the people of Ji have been suffering from wars, and they are just in a state of anxiety. When they need to be careful, they should not resort to war rashly. They must be really drawn out. These wounded and defeated generals have no fighting spirit, and we can't find anyone who can be used."

In fact, there are still some things that Yan Qing cares about because Lu Bu is from Bingzhou, so he will inevitably have a sense of beautification and belonging to the hometown, and because it involves some future things, it is not easy to say.

During the period from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, there was actually very little attention paid to the Bingzhou area.This is not because of the barrenness of Bingzhou, which made Cao Cao look down upon it in history, but because of its geographical location facing foreigners, and the fact that it was once used by the Han court to settle foreigners, that is, Hu people. role.

With the decline of the Han Dynasty, the border guards were repeatedly defeated, and large areas of land were lost. Even Lu Bu's hometown Wuyuan County and Zhang Yang's hometown Yunzhong were lost, and they were no longer under the control of the Han Dynasty.Later, the most powerful Bingzhou Army once under the control of Ding Yuan was annexed and taken away by Dong Zhuo, and the interior of Bingzhou was completely in disarray.

Regardless of the large groups of forces who seem to be appointed by the orthodox governor Zhang Yang and the Montenegrin Army Zhang Yan, there are too many small groups of forces fighting on their own.

If heavy troops are really deployed to suppress it, it will be up to these small warlords fighting alone. Of course, none of them can be the enemy of Lu Bu once, but how to deal with these hooligan residents who are used to disturbing the surrounding people and put an end to civil strife , is the big problem.

At the same time, they have to be ready to resist the invasion of the Southern Huns outside the pass, as well as the Xianbei clan led by the cattleman Kebi Neng in the Xihe area.

It's not that there is no way to deal with them, but that they are too difficult to deal with at this stage, so we can't spare so much energy and manpower to solve them. It's better to put them there first, and it's better to give priority to cleaning up the rich and centered goals at this stage.

Lu Bu asked, "In what Chongguang thinks is it suitable for cutting?"

Yan Qing said succinctly: "It is the land of Jingxiang."

Lv Bu thought for a while: "Although I have never dealt with him before, it is said that although Huang is a little clever, Wenpin is considered to have real skills. He is also extremely rich, and he will put all the strength of the whole state to resist, and he can also unite with Liu Yan in the rear. I am afraid it will not be easy to fight. "

Yan Qing said: "If you are willing to follow Qing's plan, if the Lord wants to take Jingzhou, you should not need to spend a single soldier." At the end, just to be on the safe side, he added a sentence: "Although there is no [-]% certainty, but try it once. Try it, it will be fine."

Having experienced Tao Qian's surrender, Lu Bu was able to maintain his composure after hearing this: "Please teach me again."

Yan Qing said: "When Liu Biao dies and Liu Cong succeeds, my lord might as well divide the army into three groups and garrison Lushan, Yiyang, and Sanjiangkou. You can see that the family members surrendered without fighting and dedicate the state to each other for the sake of safety. good show."

Lu Bu was puzzled and said, "How could Liu Cong succeed to the throne?"

Liu Biao's eldest son is Liu Qi.

He quickly reacted: "Is he going to make the same mistake as Yuan Shao in establishing an heir?"

Yan Qing thought for a while about what was written in the history books, and replied: "Although it was not Liu Biao's original intention to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, it can be called the same goal by different routes. Liu Qi resembles him in appearance and was originally very fond of him, but later because he took in his second wife Cai, I love him deeply, to the point where I love Wu and Wu, and I don't want to criticize his younger brother Cai Mao for the big mistakes he made in the army."

"The Cai family has been in power, but the Cai family has no children so far. Therefore, Liu Cong, who married his nephew, was recruited, and Liu Qi was slandered and abandoned by his father. If something happens to Liu Biao at this time, the Cai family who controls the inside and outside will automatically I will take this opportunity to support Liu Cong's succession."

What happened next in history was that she was afraid that Cao Cao's troops who had entered Xiangyang would be strong, and she went all over the state to seek surrender.

The most ironic thing is that she, who gave such a big gift, failed to save her life in the end, and was silenced by Yu Jin sent by Cao Cao together with Liu Cong.

Yan Qing didn't feel bad for Cai, who was ridiculed for being an ignorant woman, because he was able to give up the great country and lose his life in order to protect himself.If she is as sensible as that, there is nothing wrong with keeping her alive.

But if you want to use this as a bargaining chip, if you want to follow Zhang Yan's example and continue to serve as the governor of the jurisdiction, it is wishful thinking. Yan Qing was about to fall into deep thought, but unknowingly, in this warm room full of tenderness , Unable to hold back the exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, he had already asked Lu Bu to help him change into his pajamas, and he was sleeping on the couch in an orderly manner.It was bright outside, and Lu Buxian had gone out early in the morning.

On the desk are a few crumpled white papers pressed by a paperweight, with the back facing up, and the black ink handwriting on the bottom can be vaguely seen.

Yan Qing took it, unfolded it, and found that it was indeed the letters from Ma Zhong.

Ma Zhong apologized but shamelessly expressed that because of Liu Bei's feud with Liu Biao's step-wife Cai Shi, the latter wanted to harm Liu and almost succeeded several times. He is inseparable from his elder brother, and every time he goes out, he must check carefully.

The intrusion by the poor Mrs. Cai inspired the two careless old men to protect their elder brother, and protected Liu Bei tightly. On the contrary, Ma Zhong was too tired to play by ear in secret , There is no way to find a gap to start.

It doesn't matter if you can't kill Liu Bei, just change your target to Liu Biao.

Yan Qing felt that this was more like an opportunity that came to him, and he didn't even need to deliberately drive Liu Bei away to ensure the smooth progress of the plan - as long as Liu Biao was in Jingzhou and Liu Bei was still in Jingzhou, he would be assassinated and killed, and the power would naturally be transferred to the Cai family In her hands, she will definitely pour the dirty water of poor protection and even conspiracy on Liu Bei, whom she regards as a thorn in her side.

In this way, unless Liu Bei dies, he has to leave immediately.

And the Cai family, who had won the victory, could not be happy for too long. When the army led by Lu Bu approached the city, they would be scared out of their courage.

However, they have been very busy with the imperial examinations recently, so it would be more appropriate to ask Ma Zhong to wait patiently for a few months.

Yan Qing wrote down the new instructions to Ma Zhong in an eloquent manner, sealed them tightly, and when he didn't pay attention, his eyes drifted to those letters that were crumpled by Lu Bu for some reason.

Thinking of the discomfort in Lu Bu's tone of voice before, Yan Qing had a thought, and couldn't help picking it up again, exploring and observing it.

Because the paper is extremely thin, it is not uncommon for it to be crumpled like this if it is not properly pressed.Yan Qing didn't pay attention to the overall wrinkles, but focused on the scattered heavy wrinkles.

This mark looks a bit like it has been wet with wet water, and then it was torn apart to dry.

Let alone the letter paper inside, not to mention the envelope outside, it must be even more wet.

But the study room is an important place in the mansion, and it is strictly guarded, outsiders are absolutely not allowed to
