Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

The bricks had been thrown, and the jasper appeared, Yan Qing naturally obtained a handwritten introduction from Xun Yu through various hints, and carefully put it in his sleeve.

Xun Yu saw that the corners of his eyes and brows were full of joy, obviously satisfied with the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish, and felt even more uneasy in his heart, feeling like he had made a huge mistake.

After the banquet was over late at night and everyone returned their accounts, Cao Cao immediately summoned Xi Zhicai, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu, who he relied on the most among his army staff, to ask for advice.

As soon as the crowd arrived, Cao Cao didn't make any detours, and said directly: "I don't know what the military advisers think, the reason why Chongguang has to come here in person, and also sent food and grass to criticize our army's urgent needs. What is the purpose?"

Although he was asking three people at the same time, his eyes were always on Xun Yu, who had dealt with Yan Qing, or had the most confrontations. It is impossible to see through its plot, only speculation."

Cao Cao stroked his beard, pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Please enlighten me, Wen Ruo."

Xun Yu thought about it for a while, and said: "I have heard that Zhongguang has a lot of wisdom and plans, and he likes to make plans before acting. He never wastes time on unnecessary things, let alone he has planned this trip for a long time? According to Yu's opinion, I am afraid It is because the situation in Yuzhou is booming, but Lu Fengxian's subordinates are scarce of available talents. He is quite proficient in recommending talents, knowing people and distinguishing them to the bone. From this point of view, the two gifts he personally prepared are probably extremely meaningful."

Cao Cao came to a sudden: "Could it be that the talent of Yuanchang (Zhong Yao's Biaozi) in Xiangzhong, the gift of calligraphy and asking for comments is just an introduction. If Lao Wenruo recommends him, so that he can include him, is it true?"

Xun Yu nodded and said, "My lord is wise."

Cao Cao frowned: "Cao once heard that Wen Ruo Zanyuan was always good at strategy, virtuous and prudent, and he was loyal. Now he is deeply trusted by His Majesty and takes on important responsibilities. I am afraid that he cannot be used by me. Of course, Chong Guang has a peerless eloquence, but also How can you say that this person who is devoted to guarding the Han Dynasty is so motivated that he switched to Lu Fengxian's command to work for him?"

Xun Yu smiled wryly and said, "My lord, did you forget that Lu Fengxian still holds the merit of saving him? If the current sage who is grateful to him knows what Aiqing is asking for, and he is afraid to give golden words immediately, how can Yuan Chang do that?" The only reason not to follow is to follow orders and go anywhere.”

Speaking of this, Xun Yu paused for a moment, then turned to ask Xi Zhi who had been silent since he came in and was still contemplating himself: "What do you think if you don't know Zhi?"

Xi Zhicai had to miss the dinner due to a temporary errand, but he heard from the generals that Yan Qing was handsome and handsome, his wit, conversation and appearance were all extraordinary.

Seeing that Xun Yu was facing a formidable enemy, he returned to his senses with a smile, and said, "This man is good at dancing with long sleeves, and his mind is exquisite, which should not be underestimated. However, no matter what purpose he came here for, we might as well give him some more time to relax and wait for work." That's it."

"Oh?" Cao Cao's expression changed, and he humbly asked for advice: "Cao doesn't understand the mystery, so please ask the military teacher to teach me."

Xi Zhicai clapped the folding fan in his hand smartly, and suddenly put it away, and knocked it lightly on the desk. Hearing a crisp sound, he chuckled lightly, and asked instead: "Your Majesty, may as well imagine, if one day, If you have to leave everyone here, what should you do?"

Cao Cao was amazed and said: "I can't do without the help of you gentlemen. If this happens, it will be difficult to walk an inch, like a blind man walking alone."

Cheng Yu had already reacted, swept away the worries just now, and said, "It's a good move to do the opposite!"

Xi Zhicai laughed and said: "With the dexterity and intelligence of the lord, I still feel that there is no way to support it alone. The talents under his command are withered like Lu Fengxian. How many people are there left at this moment? If we leave this military commander for a long time , isn’t it more like a tiger that has lost its direction?”

It's really telling the truth about the man in the dream.

Not only should you not avoid it, but you should stay there so that Yan Qing can feel at home and never forget to leave.

Cao Cao called out "Yes" a few times, and couldn't help but praise happily: "Sir, you are so insightful and far-sighted, it's really a great fortune for Cao Cao!"

Xi Zhicai replied with a smile: "My lord is too famous."

After several people discussed the specific matters, it was already the third watch of the night, but Xun Yu felt relieved, even looking at the gloom of the clouds and the moon, he felt refreshed.

After the other three left, Xun Yu was about to step forward when Cao Cao stopped him again: "Wen Ruo wait a minute."

Xun Yu wondered, "My lord, can I order something?"

Cao Cao hesitated to speak: "About Yuan Chang..."

Xun Yu smiled understandingly: "I will write a book, please send it to Chang'an quickly, no matter whether it is successful or not, I will definitely be one step ahead."

Cao Cao heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo Mo Xiao, it's actually Lu Fengxian who is cunning and capricious, but he is unrivaled in martial arts. He is a teacher of tigers and wolves, and now he has the help of a great sage, so he has to guard against it."

Xun Yu thought so deeply, and immediately sighed in shame, and said, "Thanks to Zhi Zhi for seeing clearly, otherwise Yu has misled the army a lot."

Cao Cao comforted in a good voice: "It is indeed rare to have a brilliant plan with ambition. However, if Wenruo is thoughtful and avoids the edge, it is just for the sake of caution, so what is wrong?"

It was a long while of relief.

After Xi Zhicai and others gave the generals a breath, Yan Qing, who had come to Cao Cao and others to bid farewell the next day, couldn't say goodbye to his kindness, and couldn't leave easily.

Under the turn of the generals, he seemed to have completely fallen into the offensive of sugar-coated shells, and accidentally stayed one more day, one day, another day...

When Xun Yu returned to the account that night, he wrote a letter himself and sent it to Zhong Yao in Chang'an on a fast horse. forced labor.

The result was as expected.

However, Yan Qing seemed to be overwhelmed with alcohol, so he turned off the lights early that night and went to bed. The next morning, he realized that he wanted someone to send a message, but he didn't know that he was robbed of the opportunity, and he sent someone to be there. Secretly obstructed, when the messenger finally entered the gate of Chang'an, it was already five days later than the people sent by Cao Ying, which made him feel at ease.

This is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.

Let me first say that not long after Yan Qing came, there was a sudden change on the front line. It was Cao Cao's close friend and another general of the joint army, Bao Xin, who underestimated the enemy and went deep into the enemy's line. Unfortunately, he was killed. He was reduced to the point where there were no bones left, which made him very sad.

Fortunately, the battle did not come to naught. Because Cao Cao's army was brave and good at fighting, the mighty Yellow Turban Army's morale gradually collapsed, and the victorious news came frequently. Chen Gong who handles logistics.

As the commander in the army, Xun Yu was the first to bear the brunt of it. He has been so busy recently that he only got some free time today to call the soldiers who were sent to guard outside Yan Qing's tent to ask him what he was doing recently.

If you don't ask, you don't know. If you ask, you will be shocked.

After Yan Qing stayed in Cao Ying for more than a month, he didn't have a single meal for himself!

At first Xun Yu only had a disapproving expression on his face, but the more he heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and finally he couldn't help sighing, thinking that something was wrong, Zhicai really made a big mistake this time.

——They concentrated on fighting bravely on the front line, unaware that the base camp in the rear had been visited by guests who came from afar, whether they were friends or foes.

At the beginning, Yan Qing seemed to remember to avoid suspicion, and his actions could be called restrained. He just picked a few people at random to take the initiative to come to the door: today, go to Chen Gong to have a drink, play the piano and sing songs, and talk about the general situation of the world; tomorrow, go to Xiahou Dun Then, when we walked around, we exchanged ideas on how to train soldiers, and talked about some military anecdotes. Because we hit it off, we naturally met his brother Xia Houyuan and a group of friends; the next day, I went to visit the guard Dianwei who was lying on the bed because of serious injuries. Because of his erudition and extensive reading, he also dabbled in medicine, and the military doctor repeatedly nodded and said yes. Fortunately, he met Zixiu (Cao Ang's name) who was also visiting the doctor, and he got to know him through him. ...

It didn't take long before someone who had a good impression of him took the initiative to invite him to have a meal with him in the tent.

This is relatively light. In the past few days, Yan Qing, who has completely integrated into the atmosphere of Cao Ying, can be said to swim in the water. He is as pleasing and eye-catching as pearls and jade shining on rubble. He can come and go everywhere freely. The darling who is eagerly invited.

In the blink of an eye, there is no one in this huge Cao camp who has not flirted with this kind and amiable envoy from Yuzhou...has had an intimate conversation with.

If things go on like this, Lu Fengxian from Yuzhou will still be in chaos. If Yan Qing really has an unruly intention, just relying on his three-inch tongue and stunning demeanor, he will be able to sway people's hearts and easily bring chaos to the rear. .

Besides, Zhang Liao saw that Yan Qing was delaying his return, and he was really anxious, and he didn't want to disturb the gentleman's mood. It's just that winter is approaching, and the time limit given by Lu Bu is not far away, so he will I mentioned it tactfully.

Yan Qing saw that he was worried but didn't dare to complain, found it funny, couldn't help teasing him, and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan, don't worry, there are always people who are more anxious than you."

Zhang Liao was puzzled, "How did Chong Guang start with this?"

Yan Qing avoided answering this, but walked outside the tent, quickly pinched his fingers at the moonless night sky, closed his eyes and thought again, then turned to Zhang Liao with a smile and said: "It can't be later than tomorrow, Since there are people who want to see off guests, it seems that I can go one step ahead and invite them to leave."

When he did these actions, he did not hide them, so although the Cao Ying soldiers who came and went couldn't hear what he said, they were intimidated by his unfathomable posture, and all of them could not help showing awe.

Zhang Liao didn't know that his military master's sacrificial wine was just to get addicted to Kongming's seven-star altar to worship the wind. In fact, he had already learned about Xun Yu's return to camp today from the young Cao Ang, who didn't know what to say. Maybe after knowing what he did, he still allowed himself to continue to play tricks in the rear, and made this inference only after he was determined to get rid of his hidden danger as soon as possible and politely.

Zhang Liao had always believed in his words, and he immediately beamed with joy.

The major affairs in Yuzhou have been settled, and the minor matters are indeterminate. I have two military advisers, and it is the autumn when the rice harvest is busy and busy. Lv Bushi, who has a strong army and a strong horse.

Convinced that for the time being, there is nothing he can't do without him, although Yan Qing regards getting the letter of introduction written by Xun Yu as his primary goal, in fact, it is also regarded as a long vacation for himself. It was an unexpected joy to communicate with Chen Gong, who might become a colleague in the future.

However, in order not to be noticed by the shrewd and keen Xun Yu that the real target of his request for the letter of introduction was actually Guo Jia, so that he could strike first, Yan Qing spent a lot of thought to devise this trick.He even asked Zhang Liao to send someone to Zhong Yao's mansion in Chang'an for the sake of acting and pretending to hand over a name card.

As for the real letter of introduction, it was still quietly lying in his arms, saving it for Guo Jia.
