Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

After Yan Qing ordered people to deliver the letter, he washed and changed his clothes. After eating, he went to the meeting hall.

There was only Guo Jia left in the hall. It seemed that Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Liu Ye and other staff members couldn't hold back their reserve, and went to the schoolhouse to watch the unprecedented bustle brought by the imperial examination.

I'm afraid it was much more cheerful than the atmosphere when we welcomed the emperor into Xu.

Guo Jia was lying on his side on the soft bed, and he didn't look at any official documents seriously. Instead, he put one hand behind his ear and shook the fan gracefully with the other. When he saw Yan Qing coming, he immediately smiled cunningly.

He glanced at Yan Qing's waist and buttocks with good intentions, and then teased: "It's rare for Chong Guang to sleep until three poles above the sun, maybe he was exhausted last night?"

Yan Qing calmly lifted his robe and sat down, not accepting his move: "Feng Xiao was joking."

Guo Jia smiled even wider, put down his folding fan, stopped teasing him, and just threw over the letter at hand: "Liu Biao sent an envoy to send it just now."

"Liu Biao?" Yan Qing was a little curious, and then he took it apart again and again, thinking over and over again, could it be that Liu Biao came to the door by himself just after he notified Ma Zhong of the change of target.

It's really the case.

Although Liu Biao wanted to come to Xucheng in the name of seeking to see the Holy One and personally offering tribute, but between the lines, there was also some hint of a desire to be friendly with Lu Bushi, but neither Yan Qing nor Guo Jia believed him. Justification on the surface.

Yan Qing looked at Guo Jia: "Could it be that you came here for the imperial examination?"

Guo Jia nodded affirmatively: "After Zhongguang publicized this news, Youzi will publicize it first in the Yuedan Review, and Cai Zhonglang strongly praises it later. Give it a try next time."

"Liu Biao likes to open up Confucian classics and establish a study. He is one of the eight Gus. He likes to express righteousness. Seeing the loss of local students, how can he be indifferent to such a grand event in a place like Xucheng where the literary style is at its peak?"

Yan Qing sighed: "It is worthy of being the warrior who rode into Jing alone back then."

If you dare to come here with only five hundred soldiers, you won't worry about being ripped off by them, and you will directly capture and kill them, causing chaos in Jingzhou.

However, Lu Bu's development momentum is so good, and in the end he is aiming for the supreme position, so he has to cherish his reputation very much. Unless the two states officially go to war, he will kill him for no reason. Liu Biao, who paid tribute and never failed his duty, had to be reviled by the gentry.

Liu Biao was generous and generous, and made it clear that he was coming, so that the world would know, but it made it difficult for them to make a move.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Perhaps I'm afraid that if you focus too much on your demeanor, you may recruit all the talents from Jingxiang who have been fascinated by you, and you will be happy to stay in Yuzhou from then on, so that no one can use him."

Yan Qing also laughed: "I'm afraid it's not just that, the eldest cousin probably also has fears about whether I will be forcibly withheld from the exam to survive, so Fang rushed to sit in the town in a hurry to provide him with shelter?"

It's not easy for them to do anything to Liu Biao, but it's easy for them to hurt some Jingzhou students who speak rudely and talk nonsense.

Guo Jia didn't focus on this, but said in a daze: "Big cousin? Liu Jingsheng and Chongguang have—"

Yan Qing hurriedly interrupted: "No, it's just a casual nickname for him."

When he was reading this period of history in modern times, he was used to hearing people call him "big cousin on the left" and "big cousin on the right", so he accidentally made this mistake just now.

Guo Jia snorted.

Yan Qing didn't pay much attention to Liu Biao's arrival, after reading the letter, he put it aside.

A bit of a surprise, but there are still some.After all, in his heart, Liu Biao seemed to be an invisible otaku who never left Jingzhou, was content to defend the nine counties, and didn't think about military advancement, so that Gan Ning served him for a while, but left in complete disappointment.

Not only did he come out now, but he also took the initiative to run to this wolf's den and tiger's den, he must be sure that they would not kill him.

Perhaps as a guest in Jingzhou, Liu Bei, who has not been pushed out by the Cai family to station troops in Xinye like in the novel, and is often invited to have banquets and drinks, has made suggestions for his big cousin who is very kind to him.

Wait, Liu Bei?

Yan Qing frowned slightly.

Liu Biao's abnormal travel may have something to do with Liu Bei, and with the latter's eloquence, it is not difficult to coax the former into agreeing.

Moreover, the relationship between Liu Bei and his eldest cousin is probably still in the honeymoon period. At least not even the beloved Mrs. Cai's repeated provocations failed to make the eldest cousin completely make up his mind, alienate or Get rid of each other.

In this way, the three brothers Liu Guanzhang might also come with Liu Biao.

The more Yan Qing thought about it, the more likely it was.

Liu Bei pretended to be a clan member of the Han family and was a guest in Jingzhou. This time he came to Xu Miansheng with the governor, and his visit was completely justified.And if he didn't come, because of his prestige, he would probably have to assist Liu Qi or Liu Cong to sit in Jingzhou on behalf of Liu Biao, but he would definitely not be able to reassure the Cai clan.

Cai's reaction may have been expected by Liu Bei.

If all this is really planned by Liu Bei, then what is his purpose?

Yan Qing pondered for a long time, and gradually got an idea.

He simply imitated Guo Jiana's relaxed posture, lying on his side comfortably, and said calmly: "Big cousin wants to come, let him come. It's just that I'm busy with the examination, and I don't have much time to receive him. Would you like to do it for me?"

Guo Jia obviously had no interest in dealing with the errand of a casual chatterer, so he laughed and said, "Isn't it good to leave it to the lord?"

Yan Qing shook his head: "It's still hard to make Qing feel at ease with Liu Biao alone."

Not only was he afraid that the two sides would disagree, Lu Bu's violent temper brought up Fang Tian's painting halberd to make Liu Biao's blood splatter three feet, but he was also worried that Liu Biao was not used to seeing Lu Bu, and he was not familiar with writing and ink. I don't know it when I suffer verbally.

With Guo Jia, who is eloquent and quick-witted, by his side, everything will be safe.

Yan Qingfu tried a few more words of persuasion, but Guo Jia could only agree, and said helplessly: "Chongguang is too worried about the matter of the lord."

Yan Qing took it for granted, and said in a solemn tone: "Is there anyone in the world who can surpass the lord? No matter how much you worry about it, you can't worry too much."

The corner of Guo Jia's mouth twitched, and he felt his teeth were slightly acidic.

Yan Qing imitated Guo Jia's lying posture, probably because she was used to working hard, unlike the other party who was sluggish and lazy, and after lying down for a while, his whole body felt uncomfortable, so he still sat up, and Guo Jia gave him a contemptuous look.

While getting up, his elbow accidentally bumped against something on the mat, Yan Qing lowered his head to look, and said in amazement: "Who is so leisurely and elegant, playing the piano here just now?"

Guo Jia lazily said: "I'm not talented, but I'm here."

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows, and passed the piano to the past: "Qing and Feng Xiao have known each other for many years, I only know that you are all outstanding in thinking and strategy, and you have elaborate and detailed strategies in your chest, but you don't know that you are also quite accomplished in music theory, and you have a good taste Dismayed. I don’t know if I might be lucky enough to listen to the fairy music of Miaoqu today?”

Even though he knew that Yan Qing could utter the simplest of sentences when he wanted something from others, Guo Jia was praised very much by him, so he sat up mercifully, took the piano, and Confidently snorted and said, "What's so difficult about it?"

Seriously played a complete song for Yan Qing.

Yan Qing slowly came back to his senses when the clear rhyme and zither sound that seemed to be circling the bridge for three days gradually faded away.He is not very proficient in musical instruments, but he still has a very high appreciation ability, so it is natural to hear that Guo Jia's piano skills are extraordinary.

Yan Qing half sighed sincerely, and half flattered his best friend to save face: "This song should only exist in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world."

Even if he had never heard the music played by the music theory master and his friend Cai Yong, Yan Qing would sincerely praise it after listening to it.

It's just that Guo Jia, who usually plays around and does not do business properly, is actually a real person who can play the piano well without showing his face, which makes Yan Qing look at him with admiration.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, obviously feeling deeply for Yan Qing's praise, and said humbly: "It's just a clumsy skill, so it shouldn't be praised."

Yan Qing wanted to boast a few more words, but Guo Jia said: "I don't know the name of the song if I don't know it?"

Yan Qing really felt that the syllables were clear, fresh and lively, but also lingering. The tune was quite familiar. It must be one of the famous ancient songs that have been handed down to future generations. In a flash of thought, he quickly remembered the title of the song and replied with a smile: "Could it be "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix"?"

The corner of Guo Jia's lips raised slightly, and he put down the piano slowly: "That's right. I would like to repay my confidant with this song. I don't know if I can be satisfied with it?"

Without waiting for Yan Qing to reply, Guo Jia looked to the left and right of the emptiness and asked him: "Chongguang is too busy to find anyone on weekdays, why are you so relaxed when you start the test today? You don't want to check the specific situation?"

This blow unintentionally directly hit Yan Qing's vital point.

Although he had done what he was supposed to do, he could relax a bit later, but with his cautious temperament, no matter how perfect the plan was, it was impossible not to go to the scene.

But because he was too sleepy, he not only missed the entrance of all the candidates, but also failed to encourage his precious son Lu Xun before sending him in, which really left a regret.

If you rush there right now, half of the people inside will pass the exam.

Of course, with Yan Qing's status, it couldn't be easier to temporarily join in as an invigilator, and there is no need to wait outside like other people.

But it is hard to guarantee that the candidates who recognize him will feel agitated and have difficulty concentrating. If it affects their state, he will feel guilty instead.

Out of these considerations, Yan Qing simply came to the meeting hall to find Guo Jia to chat with, and did not go to pick Lu Xun back home until the end of the exam in the evening.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing suddenly looked at Guo Jia who was still humming the tune just now, and asked, "You know from Fengxiao, why Liang'er and Yi'er are at odds?"

Guo Jia said without hesitation: "Naturally."

Yan Qing heard his straightforward answer, so she also asked straightforwardly: "Please ask Feng Xiao to clarify my doubts."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Mr. Liang has ordered, not to reveal the reason to you. With this gentleman's agreement, I should keep my mouth shut. Don't ask more questions."

Yan Qing shrugged: "Okay."

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang, who is meticulous in thinking, cannot be expected to make such an oversight.

Hiding it like this made him want to know even more.

After the first test was over, half a month later, when Yan Qing was supervising his subordinates to revise the papers and count the list of passed ones, Liu Biao took his beloved wife, Mrs. Cai, and was guarded by five hundred elite soldiers. Jingzhou came.

Just as Yan Qing expected, the three brothers Taoyuan worshiped were also among them.
