Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

Yan Qing saw that the toe was severely swollen, although it was folded, it was probably not folded, and just leaving it alone was not a solution, so she asked the maid to fetch some ice cubes, wrapped them in silk cloth, and put them around to let the swelling slowly subside.

Fortunately, it's the twelfth lunar month, and it's freezing outside. If you want ice cubes, you can get them locally.

After solving this problem, Yan Qing calmed down a bit, unceremoniously pushed Lu Bu who was lying on his side on the bed with his eyes closed and dozed off, and said in a business-like tone: "My lord, please wake up first, the battle is about to start. , the strategy is undecided, it's not time to sleep."

Lu Bu drew a long nasal tone, let out a dissatisfied "hmm", and reluctantly lifted the lid of his left eye, looking at him very tiredly.

Yan Qing smiled slightly, stood at the head of the bed, leaned over, looked down at Lu Bu for a rare time, and repeated very gently: "My lord, please get up."

In fact, Lv Bu traveled day and night these days, and even Chitu was so tired that he spit a few mouthfuls of white foam, so he managed to arrive at Chang'an before Yan Qing was sent to Liangzhou again, all because of a plan to punish the military master for offering wine everywhere. The anger of running around can last until now.

After four days and four nights without closing his eyes, he was already very tired. Once his head touched the pillow, he was so tired that he wished he could not wake up. No matter how pleasant the voice of the military commander was, his appearance was also pleasing to the eye. How could he be in the mood at this moment? To listen to some hypnotic strategies?

If it was someone else, Lu Bu would not even bother to open his eyes, and would have kicked the reckless opponent over impatiently, and continued to sleep soundly.

Even though he always obeyed Yan Qing's request, Lu Bu was so sleepy that he wanted to say "no", but although the tone of his family's military sacrificial wine sounded gentle and soft, his eyes were staring at him fiercely, If he refuses to obey, he will sharpen his knife and rave at the pigs and sheep.

Lu Bu was silent for a moment, and tried to discuss it in a friendly voice: "Chongguang is right, but Bu is really tired now, even if there are important things, why don't you make a decision after Bu wakes up?"

"Okay." I don't want Yan Qing to agree calmly, and agree with a smile: "My lord has traveled thousands of miles, and the journey is exhausting, so it's time to take a rest."

Lu Bu didn't want him to return to his usual understanding from the hidden murderous appearance in the blink of an eye, and he was pleasantly surprised when he heard Yan Qing's brows relax, revealing a dazzling smile that dazzled all living beings, and asked gently: " It's just that His Majesty's will is also extremely urgent, so as not to miss the opportunity of the battle, how about taking an hour's rest before making a decision?"

Lu Bu was dazzled, and agreed in a daze.

Yan Qing said comfortingly: "My lord really understands righteousness, Qing will not disturb my lord's sleep."

Immediately, he pulled out the thin feather that was pressed by Lu Bu, which his client specially made for him temporarily, and covered Lu Bu with good intentions—but the length was not enough, and he had to feel wronged that Lu Bu, who had long hands and legs, curled up. legs come.

Then he quietly sat back on the Hu chair, only occasionally hearing a few slight "唦唦" sounds.

Lu Bu was annoyed by Yan Qing's sudden excellent attitude, and also a little blissed by this thoughtfulness. In addition, he really reached the limit, and soon fell asleep.

Sure enough, Yan Qing kept his word, saying that if he let Lu Bu sleep for an hour, he would not let him sleep for an extra half a cup of tea.

When the time came, Yan Qing dragged his injured foot and walked towards the bed in a calm manner. When he reached the head of the bed, he bent down and picked up the cloth bag that was heavily wetted by the melting ice water from his numb instep. , taking advantage of a small piece of unmelted flat ice inside, quickly lifted the quilt of Lu Bu, who was having a good dream and occasionally snoring lightly.

The cool wind suddenly poured in, but because Lu Bu slept too deeply, he only grunted a few times as if complaining, sipped his mouth, rolled over on his side, and continued to sleep on his side.

The menacing Yan Qing was severely slapped in the eyes—although Lu Bu came here on horseback and wore closed crotch trousers, he was not completely naked like last time, but even in his sleep, it was still the same. Even when he was tired and tired, the huge monster between his legs was still very energetic like a spring animal. Not to mention the big hillock, the top was still wet with liquid, it was really conspicuous.

Yan Qing was silent for a moment, quickly lifted his thin shirt, and mercilessly pressed the ice pack on Lu Bu's defenseless waist——

"Ooooooooo!!"

This moment was no small matter, Lu Bu was so cold that his whole body trembled, and he sat up suddenly like an electric shock. He was still sleepy, and he stared at the culprit in surprise. Just when he was about to lose his temper, he met Yan Qingchunliang With innocent clear eyes, he exclaimed in surprise, "Is the lord sober?"

With a gloomy face, Lu Bu threw the harmful wet ice bag outside, and roared angrily: "Yan Chongguang, you are so brave!"

Yan Qing looked apologetic, and began to talk nonsense: "The hour was set before, and I thought about how much my lord attaches importance to promises, which are comparable to life. Qing was afraid that my lord would be overdue, and there would be suspicion of not keeping my word, so I had to come up with this bad plan. I also hope that the lord is magnanimous, don't blame Qing for acting as a last resort."

Lu Bu: "..."

For a person who has been hungry for three days, the most cruel thing is not to continue to give him no food or drink, but to only give him a few small mouthfuls of delicious food, but not to let him who is even more hungry continue to touch the food in front of him. feast.

Yan Qing was well aware of this truth, and made up his mind to give Lu Bu a severe punishment that would make him suffer so much that he couldn't tell the truth, so he did a little trick, and sure enough, Lu Bu, who was still far away from full sleep, was sleepy. Die, while forcing himself to sit upright.

Seeing that Lv Bu was punished so badly, Yan Qing could not help not lose his temper, so his heart softened a little.

His original intention was not to really torture his lord, the focus was on solving the problem, and it would be nice if Lu Bu could really learn from it.

So he thoughtfully didn't start with a long, boring, brain-consuming and time-consuming tirade, but directly took out the thing he had just fiddled with for a while: "My lord, look at this."

Lu Bu glanced at the thing listlessly, and frowned: "What is this?"

Yan Qing smiled and said, "This thing is called a sand table."

This is just a rough product made temporarily, but it is more than enough to only be used to deduce the battle in Chang'an and the surrounding suburbs.

He didn't say much, and to arouse Lu Bu's interest, "doing" is always more effective than "talking".

Yan Qing fiddled with it for a while, muttering something, seeing Lu Bu, who was still full of resistance, couldn't help but stare at it curiously, and after explaining a few words, Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he took it with great interest. They all played together.

"This thing is simple to make, but it makes the army's strength clear at a glance." As an expert in marching and fighting, Lu Bu couldn't see the great value of this thing, and said in his heart, "I don't know if Chongguang has a way to improve it? For example, add some colors to represent vegetation, or introduce mercury to represent rivers."

The earliest sand table in China is said to have come from the handwriting of the first emperor of Qin. into his mausoleum.

When the sharp weapon of the sand table reappears and is used in the military, it has something to do with the well-known general Ma Teng of Xiliang more than 100 years ago, the proud ancestor of his family, General Fubo Ma Yuan.It's just that the prototype of the sand table that "gathers rice into a valley, and draws the situation by finger", although it won the emperor's sigh of "the captive is in my eyes", has not been popularized in the army.

Seeing that Lu Bu couldn't put it down, Yan Qing volunteered to use his brains. There was no reason why he was not happy to see it succeed. He agreed immediately, and took advantage of Lu Bu's great opportunity to analyze the situation: "In Qing's opinion, this situation is tricky at first glance. But it is not without a strategy to break through the siege. What Zhang Ji did to support the war with robbery is by no means a long-term solution, and sooner or later he will be burned."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Yan Qingyan laughed at Yan Yan and said: "After half a year, they are still willing to listen to Zhang Ji's order to gather together and follow his old troops. Most of them have lost the banner of Dong Zhuo, a vicious tiger, and their lives are extremely unsatisfactory. They think it is beneficial to follow him. But I was willing to be called. But it took so long, and I couldn't return home. I ran away as soon as the confrontation appeared. It seemed that I was playing with General Yizhen's officers and soldiers in the palm of my hand. In fact, I was showing weakness to the enemy from beginning to end. Very demoralizing."

"If a well-trained army of hundreds of battles listens to the commander's orders, it will be no problem if they have to retreat and pursue them often. In other words, it is just a short-sighted move to seek death by continuously plundering the people to supplement military supplies.

"My lord took this matter, although it is suspected of being reckless, it is not a harmless move. The court has no way to deal with them, and has to rely on the lord's bravery to fight, which is equivalent to giving up a great opportunity to establish prestige. The people deeply appreciate it. Suffering from it, asking for help repeatedly, but still not being protected by the court, it means that the lord only needs to get rid of this thief, without any extra favors, in order to establish virtue and build prestige."

Lu Bu nodded again and again, and asked: "How to do it specifically?"

Yan Qing said: "My lord, before sending out troops, you should try to encourage the people to fight against wandering cavalry."

Lu Bu frowned: "What can some unarmed peasants do?"

Yan Qing said earnestly: "My lord, don't underestimate Li Min's ability. If it is stated clearly that once the fight is effective, and if something is captured, [-]% of the proceeds will be given to those who have meritorious service. They will definitely not be beaten passively again."

He is definitely not talking nonsense based on imagination. In history, after the coalition forces retreated, Liang Xing fled to the Lantian area with a few thousand cavalry, and started robbing houses and houses, causing the surrounding counties to tremble. For the enemy.

It was still a regular army that fought and rolled down on the real battlefield. It was glorious for a while, but Zheng Hun finally drew the bottom line.It was the first announcement that [-]% of the seized rewards would be rewarded, which greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the people. Even if they could not fight against the bandits, their wives and daughters could be kidnapped and forced to land on each other; , Tell them to be grateful for this; with such a two-pronged approach, Liang Xing will end up betraying his relatives without a direct confrontation.

Lu Bu was still dubious: "Zhang Ji's troops are both poor and worthless, and all their gains were taken from the common people. Even if they capture a few, how much can they be rewarded for taking back from them?"

Yan Qing smiled and said: "My lord, that's a big mistake. Let me ask you, there are not many 'people' among the 'horses' that are useful, but doesn't the 'horse' itself symbolize a huge fortune? The people confiscated the horses, which are of no use to them, but aren’t we just worried about the shortage of horses when we want to form a strong cavalry? We can take this opportunity to purchase a large number of ready-made Liangzhou war horses with a small amount of grain and grass. Asking the common people to appreciate the kindness of the Lord is killing two birds with one stone."
