Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

Yan Qing was stunned on the spot, and it took him a while to recover his voice, and said dryly: "The lord is joking, how can this be?"

Fortunately, there was no one else in the hall, except for the mouthless ceiling and carpet, Guo Jia was the only one who was fooling around. Otherwise, if word got out, no matter whether Lu Bu could do it or not, he would definitely be the one who would be criticized and beaten.

Lu Bu didn't appreciate it, and his face was displeased on the spot, and he threw a serious sentence: "Does Chong Guang think that Bu will definitely lose, or is Dang Bu one of those women-oriented menglang?"

Yan Qing said helplessly: "Why did Qing ever say such a thing?"

He looked at Guo Jia, expecting him to say a few words, but in the end, this guy was far less virtuous than Jia Xu, and he smiled like he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. !"

Guo Jia said sincerely: "Compared to ten years of not having sex with women, the pain of Jia's one-year ban on alcohol is really insignificant. If this is the case, if Chongguang loses the contract with Jia, he should not touch anything except the belly of a fish for a year. Anything nasty."

How did this messy guy know he doesn't like fish maw?

Yan Qing scolded him inwardly, took a peek at Lu Bu who was still in deep groan, and said lightly: "My lord's jokes should not be taken seriously. As for Feng Xiao, if you think it is too difficult to live without wine for a year, you can change it for a season." Can."

"My lord, it's a different matter. Jia's will be decided according to what I said just now." Guo Jia saw Yan Qing admitting that he was not as confident as he did, and said triumphantly: "How can you say that you don't count?" So you don’t count, and you go back and forth at will? Don’t you look very confident?”

As long as he doesn't pester Lu Bu's surprise, Yan Qing will be right.

Lu Bu hesitantly snorted a few times, smacked his lips and said, "Bu hasn't figured out how to deal with Chong Guang yet."

Yan Qing: "..."

Somehow, on this scorching hot day with high sun, just staring at Lu Bu's deep-lined, distinctly handsome profile, he was able to shiver for no reason.

Just at this moment, Jia Xu and Chen Gongmi came back from the meeting, and as soon as they entered the door, they said: "Just now, I heard from Gongtai that many people in Cao Ying are dissatisfied with Cao Cao's domineering, and have already turned against him. Soon Cao Cao will send troops because of his father's hatred." To challenge Xu, we should use all our strength so that the rear is empty, and because we think that the Lord is leading troops and horses active in the area around Hongze Lake, we don't have any defenses. If we want to, we can take advantage of his departure and attack him quickly when we have no time. He I would like to act as a lobbyist with the army to persuade Zhang Miao to surrender and bring the people from several cities to defect to the lord and plan great things together."

Yan Qing shook his head, disapproving: "This is absolutely unacceptable."

Jia Xu asked: "Chongguang suspects that he is acting and has ulterior motives? Listening to his words and all the evidence is convincing, Xu does not realize that he has other plans, but is really disheartened towards Cao Cao."

Yan Qing explained: "That's not true. The Lord should not raise troops in anger, and the general should not go to war in anger. Cao Cao violated this taboo of military strategists. It is enough for us who are well-prepared, and there is no need to add icing on the cake. If you have a different heart, you will not be able to resist it. Be willing to do your best, if you go to persuade, it will be easy to leak the news and scare the snake."

"What's more, it's a very stable thing, so why do multiple people share a piece of the pie? The public platform can be reused, but it is used to deal with Cao Cao who returns to the defense, not to persuade a few insignificant people."

"Before Cao Cao left, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu led [-] troops to guard Juancheng, Fanxian, and Dong'a counties. , as long as they get a glimpse of the clues, it will put us in a passive position."

In history, when Cao Cao ran out of ammunition, food, and land, he fell into a desolate situation. Thanks to these two men who defended the three counties, they preserved the capital for him to make a comeback after recuperating.

Jia Xu wondered: "Where did Chongguang get the news? Who is responsible for staying behind? I haven't heard the news clearly, and Xu doesn't know it. Why have you stayed at home recently, but you seem to have seen it with your own eyes?" Sure?"

Yan Qing slipped his mouth accidentally, coughed lightly, and said nonsense with a flat face: "This is Qing's calculation."

Jia Xu nodded, because he had seen his ghostly and accurate estimates and speculations several times, so he didn't feel suspicious at the moment, but secretly admired him.Guo Jia was very interested: "Dare to ask Wen He, what are the names and surnames of those traitors?"

Jia Xu did not doubt that there was him, but the first name he revealed was Zhang Miao's: "According to Gongtai, there is Cao Cao's best friend, Chenliu's prefect Zhang Mengzhuo—what's wrong with Feng Xiao?!"

As soon as his words fell, Guo Jia closed his eyes as if he had endured great pain, his whole body trembled, he fell back tremblingly, and fell into Yan Qing's arms all at once.

Even though Guo Jia was thin, he was still the weight of an adult man. Yan Qing was caught off guard when it fell down suddenly, but it was Lu Bu who was sitting next to him with sharp eyes and quick hands. Coughing unceasingly, his own army teacher took the sacrificial wine into his arms.

Regardless, Guo Jia rolled to the feet of the dumbfounded Jia Xu with a grunt, with tears in his eyes and a bleak face, and he lamented softly: "Alas, good wine! Pity, good wine! Painful, good wine!"

Such a heartbroken appearance should make those who hear it feel distressed, and those who see it are heartbroken.

Jia Xu was stunned for a while, and it took a while to recover, and took a step back cautiously: "Abstinence from alcohol and impetuosity is the way to maintain health. Is this the insanity caused by alcoholism?"

Guo Jia: "..."

Finally, Yan Qing, who was out of breath, sat up from Lu Bu's arms, and said gloatingly, "Rolling and cheating are always childish actions, but Feng Xiao is unwilling to admit defeat, so he learned this trick from Ya'er?"

However, at this moment, Guo Jia's mood was extremely depressed. His performance just now was not purely exaggerated acting skills, but also revealed his true feelings. Now he didn't even bother to pay attention to Yan Qing's words, and only cared about being sad.

After Jia Xu regained his composure, he resumed his calm posture and continued to tell Yanqing and the lord: "According to reports, Cao Cao cried and fell to the ground on the spot when he learned of his father's murder. After yelling and cursing, we have gathered our troops and rushed to Xuzhou immediately to take revenge."

Lu Bu rapped on the desk with his knuckles, only concerned about one point: "We are already ready, but when is the best time to go out?"

Jia Xu glanced at Yan Qing: "Look at it according to Xu, and wait and see for a while, when he goes deep into Xuzhou, the soldiers and horses are exhausted, and it is better to withdraw from the battle easily."

Guo Jia slowly sat up from the ground, and also took a look at Yan Qing: "In Jia's opinion, it's better to wait for Tao Qian to send a letter."

Lu Bu listened to the two people's suggestions, nodded slightly, did not express his opinion, and looked at Yan Qing.

Yan Qing felt the pressure invisibly: Lu Bu is fine, the IQ of these two is much higher than him, why do you still look at him?

This can only be whispered in his heart, the reality is that he has to bite the bullet. After thinking for a while, Yan Qing said slowly: "Now that he is going away in anger, the army is strong, Tao Qian is definitely defeated, and the enemy will be defeated like a bamboo. , has the spirit of domineering, although we have no fear, we should also avoid his sharpness, and the best thing is not to confront him head-on."

"Tao Qian is not a stupid person. He knows that compared with Cao Cao, we are just between tigers and wolves. Unless it is absolutely necessary and desperate, it is absolutely impossible to ask Yu and Yang for help."

Jia Xu stroked his beard thoughtfully and said, "If he can ask Gongsun Zan and Kong Wenju to send troops to help him, he will be able to resist Cao's soldiers for a while."

Guo Jia shook his fan, frowned and said: "The autumn harvest is approaching, and Cao's army will enter Xu. You can take this opportunity to harvest cooked wheat for army rations."

Lu Bu tilted his head, squinted at Yan Qing as if in ecstasy, and said, "So, the two sides should be in a tug-of-war situation."

Yan Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "What you said is true, but both armies must arrive together."

Jia Xu: "Listening to Chongguang's words, what accidents can happen?"

Yan Qing smiled and nodded: "That's right. Gongsun Zan's army is powerful. Recently, due to running out of food and grass, he had to take a break from the war with Yuan Shao. He was busy with spring plowing and summer planting. Sending some troops to rescue them can also add to Yuan Shao's alliance with Cao Cao. But Kong Rong's words, but it's hard for him to get what he wants."

Guo Jia was puzzled, "How can Tao and Confucius, who have similar temperaments and have never had any ill relations before, just sit idly by when one of them suffers?"

"I can't blame Kong Rong for this matter." Yan Qing said with a smile: "Everyone knows that Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, has surplus food in his hands, but they are not all polite and upright gentlemen! There is that yellow scarf bandit who is violent and famous. Guan Hai, who had been eyeing him for a long time, unfortunately chose Jin Qiu to ask for food. Although Kong Rong was good at poetry and prose, but including himself, there was no one among his subordinates who could lead the army and fight. The thieves are attacking fiercely, he is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself, how can he save Tao Qian?"

There is another matter, but only Yan Qing knows about it.

When Lu Bu was awarded the title of Inspector of Yuzhou, Kong Rong, who was loyal to the imperial court even though he was far away in Beihai, sent people to congratulate him because he was also a loyal minister of the emperor.

Later, he was disappointed because he knew that Lu Bu had rejected the imperial edict issued by the emperor asking him to raise troops to reject Ma and Han Er's power.

He doesn't even bother to associate with the powerful Yuan Shao, so how could he keep his mouth shut because he is afraid of Lu Bu's growing power?Furthermore, he hated himself for being so loyal, yet powerless to fight against any villains with evil intentions, and he couldn't bear the fact that he had misjudged himself and often made insulting remarks about Lu Bu at the political meeting of the Qing Dynasty. He slandered Lv Bu for hiding traitors in his heart, that is, Cai Yong, who had a good relationship with him, moved to Yuyu, so he stopped talking.

After Yan Qing heard about this, she felt extremely angry, even though Lu Bu always regarded verbal and pen criticism in the literati world as wild dogs farting, even though Kong Rong had always been such an upright and extreme character with a poisonous tongue that could not be tolerated in his eyes, even in terms of wolf ambition, in the long run Going to watch it, what Kong Rong said is indeed correct... But in terms of facts, in everything that happened before, Liu Xie, who was selfish and short-sighted, was sorry for Lu Bu, and he was not worthy of the loyalty of a loyal minister, not to mention that in his heart, Lu Bu was How could the most shining and perfect existence endure this kind of targeting?

He was offended by Kong Rong on the spot.

Even though Kong Rong has a good reputation in Beihai, he can't move on the bright side, but Yan Qing knows very well that he will be attacked by Guan Hai in the near future, and if he wants to get out of the siege, he cannot do without the famous general who fled to Liaodong earlier Tai Shici.

So secretly, he took a drastic step to the bottom of the pot. Before Kong Rong knew about Taishici's deeds and gave his mother millet and silk, he used Taishici's righteous deeds as an excuse to kill Taishici. The mother invited her to the area of ​​Yuzhou, where she not only supported her with money and food, but also sent people to greet her from time to time.

In this way, Kong Rong lost a key role who could help him temporarily scare away the bandits and rescue the three thousand elite soldiers who invited Liu Bei. To solve the threat posed by the Yellow Turban Army led by Guan Hai, it would take a lot more money. Kung Fu, in a state of desperation, naturally can't control the urgency of Xuzhou's one hundred thousand people.

Yan Qing smiled and said: "In this way, Tao Qian will have to run into a wall, and relying on the soldiers sent by Gongsun Zan alone will not be able to support him alone, so he can only turn to us for help. Feng Xiao and Wen He's advice are not in conflict in essence. Why don't you use two prongs, wait for Tao Qian to send a letter asking for help, and then order Gongming Bofu to lead the army to fight with him, so as to trip him up?"

Guo Jia nodded: "It is also important to be courteous before the soldiers. Send someone to send a letter of persuasion to Cao Ying, persuade him with good words, ease his guard, and then lead the troops to attack and seize Yan in one fell swoop."

Yan Qing thought for a while, and added: "The rear of Yanzhou is empty now, my lord can rest assured that Zilong's army will go there, and they will be able to take it down calmly. Only those three counties guarded by Xun Wenruo and Cheng Zhongde were designed by those two. The counties are connected and work together. It is not easy to attack by storm. It requires both the hero's arrogance and the wisdom of the two gentlemen. Then Wen Yuan will deal with the Cao Ren army who came back to help and trap it into an isolated city. Only then can it be called safe .”

In history, Lu Bujia and Chen Gong have never been able to take it down. Xun Yu and Cheng Yu are strictly defending it. They are impeccable internally.

He didn't expect to be able to really catch Cao Cao, but he still has some confidence in making the opponent homeless, and has to take the remnants of the defeated general to hastily attach himself to a side like Yuan Shao.

Although I don't know why Yan Qing is so afraid of those two people, but what Yan Qing repeatedly emphasized, there is always his reason. Guo Jia and Jia Xu know him well, so they have no objection to this. Let's discuss a few more words and finalize The details are roughly settled.

Lu Bu bowed to them solemnly, and said humbly: "It is a blessing for Bu to have three gentlemen who have given their full support, worked hard, and made suggestions for Bu! We will fight hard and follow the plan, and we will not repay you until we win. One or two."

Flattered by Jia Xu's flattery, she declined repeatedly, and immediately returned the gift without saying anything. Even Guo Jia was a little surprised, and it was rare for him to return the gift seriously.

Yan Qing's mind was still on the general war just discussed, and suddenly he figured out a little trick, smiled slyly, and suggested to Lu Bu: "When we encircle the three counties with heavy troops, my lord might as well be trapped among them." The family members of the Chinese people, especially the mother, brother and wife of Jin Yun, the county magistrate of Nafan County, should be returned before the official start of the war."

Lu Bu didn't even blink, and replied, "Okay."

Guo Jia thought about it, and although Jia Xu didn't object, he couldn't help asking: "Why is this so? Since he insists on his family, he should obey us, which is in line with morality."

Just like when Cao Cao caught Xu's mother, he was able to let Xu Shu, who knew it was a trap but had to come because of filial piety, was helpless, but he had to abandon the righteousness of the master and minister to follow the filial piety.

Yan Qing smiled inscrutablely: "Wenhe will know the mystery of it."

Arresting someone's family members for coercion may be effective for others, but Xun Yu was able to see through this at once, and promptly asked Cheng Yu, who has the reputation of "fame for officials", to be a lobbyist.

Cheng Yu also lived up to Xun Yu's entrustment, not only relegating Lu Bu to "rude young confidant, upright and rude, nothing more than the courage of a common man", he also said the well-known sentence in later generations, "Cao Gongzhi is not born in the world, but his wisdom is not born in the world." The gift from heaven made Jin Yun, who was shaken at the beginning, cruelly abandon his selfish filial piety, follow the righteousness, sacrifice the lives of his family members, and would not easily submit to the mediocre Lord Lu Bu.

This time he persuaded Lu Bu to simply return the county magistrate's family directly. Although they did not take shortcuts, they had been preparing for many days. As long as they were not careless, they could say that they had the chance to win, and they didn't rush for a while. If you don't take advantage of this point, it may be used to win the favor of the surrendered general.

For Yan Qing, just imagine the interesting scene where Cheng Yu quotes the scriptures, understands them with emotion, moves them with reason, and persuades him for a long time, but in the blink of an eye, Lu Bu, who was demoted by him as "brutal and unscheming", slaps his face invisibly with practical actions , can make him feel comfortable physically and mentally, and enjoy himself for a long time, even the fatty fish maw can become sweet and delicious.

There was nothing he could do, he just couldn't bear others to speak ill of Lu Bu.
