Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

Yan Qing on the other end had waited for a long time but couldn't wait for the next sentence. When he looked up, he happened to meet Lu Bu's direct and scorching gaze. He couldn't help being agitated, and asked cautiously: "My lord?"

When Lu Bu was called out in a soft voice, the inexplicable turmoil in his heart subsided a little bit, and after regaining his senses, he began to search his brains, racking his brains to deal with Yan Qingzhi's question.

After thinking for a while, he smacked his lips and tried to say: "Could it be to show that although we sent troops to intervene in the Yangzhou governor's case, we didn't intend to have any ill intentions with Yuan Shaoshi?"

Seeing that he was really showing signs of enlightenment, Yan Qing was both pleasantly surprised and pleased, and said with a smile: "My lord is wise! Yuan and Cao have long been at odds with each other, and after he has dealt with Gongsun Zan, a powerful enemy who lacks strategy and has no worries, he will take care of himself. The former friend Cao Mengde whose land borders on his own is a serious threat to his confidant, and the time to turn against him is just around the corner."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and replied calmly, "Yes."

Yan Qing said again: "We have already brought Henan and Yangzhou into our hands at that time, so we can stay out of the matter and wait for opportunities. Why offend the powerful Yuan Shao who died for no reason? Besides, at that time, the lord can use his vertical and horizontal tactics. Combined with Uncle Zhang Zhi (Zhang Yang) in Hanoi and Kong Wenju in Beihai, they formed a siege situation, whether it is sending charcoal in a timely manner or throwing stones into a well, they are all easily captured."

This can be regarded as a kind of Yang conspiracy. Even if Yuan Shao knew their plan of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, no matter how much he hated him, he couldn't stop doing nothing after pacifying Hedong in order not to make them happy; Expanding outwards and stationing in the Central Plains, the first geographical barrier faced is the two prefectures of Yan and Qing under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao separatized the two states with a large number of farmer labor, and the price he paid was extremely huge-to face the direct impact of the most powerful Yuan Shao's army, it was inevitable.

But it's too early to talk about this now, especially the ever-changing situation. Who knows whether Gongsun Zan's army, funded by Lu Bu's food and grass, can beat Yuan Shao's vitality in one go, and it is difficult to unify even the four states of Hedong, let alone direct troops to the south?

Yan Qing is more concerned about whether another event will happen according to the historical track.

As soon as Cao Cao gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou, he hurried to pick up his father, Cao Song, to enjoy the blessings next fall. Unexpectedly, this rich man was intercepted and killed by Tao Qian's subordinate Zhang Kai. Sending someone to pick him up in person was unintentional or intentional. In short, this account was all counted on the head of Xuzhou Bo, which gave Cao Cao, who wanted to avenge his father, sent troops to invade Xuzhou, massacred, and slaughtered recklessly. The reason of the people.

Tao Qian, who could not stand against Cao Cao's powerful iron cavalry at all, was full of worries, and sent letters everywhere asking for help. After Liu Bei and Tian Kai led troops to help, the battle, which was completely defeated and unable to fight back, finally turned around and fell into a stalemate.

As Cao Cao ran out of food and grass, he had to retreat with hatred. The biggest beneficiary of this catastrophe became Liu Bei, who was able to take over the huge Xuzhou left by Tao Qian who died of worrying about Cao Cao.

But with Yan Qing here, Uncle Liu Huang might not be the winner behind the scenes this time.

Since his guess was praised just now, Lu Bu couldn't help but increase his enthusiasm, and asked again: "Yuan Shu captured Shouchun, but the opportunity is ripe, should we send troops to attack?"

Yan Qing also tasted the sweetness, and refused to reveal the answer directly to him as usual, and developed a bad habit of being lazy in thinking and relying on the staff, so he asked: "Please think about it, my lord. If you send troops immediately, what are the advantages and disadvantages?" ?”

Lu Bu snorted softly and said with a contemptuous smile, "That kid Shu is unstoppable, what kind of storm can he cause? Within three days, the city will surely be destroyed."

In the past, Yan Qing liked Lu Bu's self-contained attitude the most. When it comes to single-handed battles, no one would look down on him.

And I couldn't help thinking that it was a matter of course. After all, it was a surprise attack based on my own strengths, attacking others' weaknesses. If Yuan Shu had that adaptable military skill, he wouldn't be in the situation he is now. It's been three hundred rounds.

"My lord is brilliant and mighty, invincible in all battles. Everyone knows about his bravery. The soldiers under his command are also amazing in combat power. They are refined and disciplined, and their army is steady. Yuan Gongluer is a mere man. Unruly and undisciplined, how can you be an opponent?" Yan Qing patted a series of flattery with a smile, and then said: "Although the war opportunity arrives, we should still focus on concealment when we are marching. Might as well wait another day."

Lu Bu frowned puzzled: "Why?"

Yan Qing explained: "My lord has a great reputation. Wherever the cavalry go, the enemy is always afraid of the news, but they are suspected of scaring the snake. Shu always cherishes his life, and will definitely defend the city. If the call for help fails, he will find an opportunity to escape. Even if the siege is dense It is not difficult to protect a single person with the bravery of an elite, but when he returns to Nanyang, he will definitely shrink back, and it will not only take time and effort to catch him, but it may also be difficult to achieve."

"Although Yangzhou can be easily taken by then, but the big fish like Yuan Shu has escaped, isn't it because of a small loss?"

Although Yanqing was sure that the officials sent by the imperial court would exist in name only, and after all the painstaking efforts, they could only get an empty shell of Yangzhou, but after all, it was not as comfortable as coming with the name.Even Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and others can put cronies in the position of governor of a state openly and aboveboard, so why do they have to beat around the bush and hide?

Lu Bu suddenly realized that in terms of marching and fighting, he was far more expert than Yan Qing, a speculator who actually didn't even have half a bucket of water and was only good at bluffing people. , but you have to march slowly, call Shu to take it lightly, and after Shouchun dispatched troops to go out again, take advantage of the emptiness of the city to conquer it, and then wait for the rabbit to return to the city, and then catch the king by surprise?"

Yan Qing smiled and nodded, feeling more and more that the good days of begging for leisure and retirement are not far away: "Of course. Although it will take a little time, it will be much safer."

Lü Bu's Adam's apple rolled, and he was about to say something more, when Zhao Yun, who was given to Lv Bu's army by Gongsun Zan as a friendship price of food and grass, rushed in through the curtain and happily reported: "Chongguang is as expected, this man It's really Yuan Boye!"

When he learned that he was abandoned by the old master at will, although Zhao Yun had a good impression of Yan Qing and the others, it was inevitable that he was a little bit humiliated, but Lu Bu made no secret of his appreciation for him, and he did not hesitate to promote him vigorously, and let him serve as Gongsun Zan's army. The tinker who was running around suddenly became the lieutenant beside the lord, assisting him in commanding five thousand soldiers and horses.

Yan Qing was also really happy for him when he saw Liu Yinhuaming. Who couldn't see that the reason why Lu Bu made a special trip to put Zhao Zilong, who was the champion of the three armies, as a lieutenant general was to facilitate his promotion through qualifications, so that he could lead the army alone as soon as possible?

In order to be worthy of this appreciation, Zhao Yun, who was deeply moved, quickly swept away his depression and devoted himself to the new job. With his ability, he was able to do a job with ease.

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. While Zhao Yun worked hard, Lu Bu, who was used to being half-coaxed and half-persuaded by Yan Qing's soft voice, also tasted the painful feeling of being slapped on the ear by harsh advice every day...

As soon as he saw Zhao Yun's upright and dignified face, Lu Bu's complexion began to turn stinky unconsciously.

Yan Qing didn't notice it, seeing Zhao Yun's high spirits and high spirits, he couldn't help but be happy that the talents he had spent so much time poaching were reused, and joked with a smile: "I haven't seen him for a few days, but Zilong has made it to the top, and Qing has time to congratulate him in the future, really pity."

Zhao Yun, however, was extremely surprised, and even accidentally came out with Chang Shan's accent: "What is Chongguang talking about? Didn't you just see it yesterday?"

Yan Qing: "..."

He was speechless.

Lu Bu, who was leaning on the soft cushion, raised his eyebrows mockingly when he saw this, smiled, and lazily said to help out: "Zilong will order 800 troops in a while, this trip will act as the vanguard, and go out with Bu at night, and the rest will be handed over to Fu." Yi takes over, and I will move out to follow up in a day."

This is contrary to what Yan Qing suggested before.

Yan Qing couldn't help but look sideways at him, seeing Lu Bu's eyes were deep, his expression was inscrutable, and he looked confident, so he remained silent and did not express any objection.

"Of order!" Zhao Yun didn't bother with the previous question, got the task, clasped his fists clangly, and was about to turn around and leave after answering, when he suddenly remembered something, and hurried back, bowed apologetically to Yan Qing who didn't understand the situation, and whispered Said: "I hope you will forgive me, Yun has never liked to drink, and there are not many private collections in the house, but most of them are rewards from the lord. Even if he sends someone to ask for it, Yun really has no wine to give."

Yan Qing was stunned when he heard it, and it took him a while to understand what was going on, his face turned livid in an instant.

Good-a-ghost-talent-Guo-feng-filial piety!

No wonder the drunkard who was part-time military adviser could honestly abide by the rules of a day and a half altar, and even looked contented and unwilling to go home... He actually found another way to send him in his name. The waiter went out, and the honest man who picked out a strict tone asked for wine to add to his meal!

Fortunately, Zhao Yun, who values ​​love and righteousness, and remembers Yan Qing's kindness, was exploited for more than a month without knowing the inside story. It was not until his salary was declared exhausted that he felt guilty to Yan Qing, who had blamed Yan Qing for no reason. Apologize!

On the surface, Lu Bu squinted his eyes and pretended to be sleeping comfortably, but in fact he kept his ears upright listening to the movement on the other side. He suddenly woke up. He lifted his drooping eyelids, first glanced sharply at the deputy general Zhao Zilong who was full of upright persuasion, and then Awe-inspiring glanced at Yan Chongguang, who had no expression on his face, combined this reaction with the previous conversation, and asked displeasedly, "When did Chongguang hide outsiders in the house again?"

It was only then that Yan Qing remembered that he hadn't told Lu Bu about Guo Jia, but at this time they absolutely must not ask the two to meet.

So he just replied calmly: "The new friend who met through writing, because of the similar interests, I just stayed in the mansion for a few days. If the lord has an elegant taste in dancing and writing, Qing is also willing to recommend it."

Lu Bu was dubious.

After listening to Yan Qing's understatement, although he responded with a cold "oh", he did not continue to ask questions, but his eyes never moved away from Yan Qing's face. Looking at this covetous posture, it is obviously not convincing of.

It was also inconvenient for Yan Qing to say more, fearing that it would be too late, instead she seemed to be trying to cover up, so she calmly changed the topic, and with a few words, she finally got rid of the issue.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yan Qing vaguely feels that this seemingly simple-minded and well-developed protagonist is becoming more and more difficult to fool...
