Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

With Lu Bu's words in place, Yan Qing didn't have that intention at all, and now it's more logical to not go to the appointment.

Fighting the three heroes at Hulao Pass and retreating completely, the world knows how brave Lu Bu is, and Xun Yu knows it well.

In the past, because he was really brave and foolish, he was greedy for small profits, but he was very self-willed, but he said it disdainfully, but now there has been an earth-shaking change: from the beginning, he was a reckless man who took money from others to work for others. However, in less than two years, he has changed suddenly. Not only has his official position increased, but he has also taken control of real power. Call the territory was thriving trend.

Even if Lv Bu single-handedly, he can defeat thousands of troops, not to mention those murderous soldiers with tens of thousands of soldiers behind him. If he wants to fight hard, it is meaningless except for the joke of throwing pebbles at stones. .

Xun Yu would not do the stupid thing of calling for a general to fight, not only sending the general's life in vain, but also demoralizing his own side. Instead, he closed the city gates wisely, suppressed the morale of the army internally, and asked for reinforcements externally.It's just that it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, so she can't make a decision for a long time.

After surrounding the city gates, Lu Bu's army was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he asked the craftsmen to start building siege equipment. The patrols that should be patrolling, the cooking that should be cooking, and the smoke in the temporary camps wave.

Lu Bu, with a tiger body and a wolf waist, rode a red rabbit vigorously, strutting around the outskirts of the city, and even asked soldiers to help out when he watched some fields where the ripe wheat had not yet been harvested.

One is because the military supplies are sufficient, the other is that Yanzhou is already regarded as half of the bag, and the third is that Lu Bu is not what it used to be, and has made great progress, so it is too late to take such small profits into consideration—— So he didn't accept the harvested grain with a smile, but he didn't even care about the labor he paid, and piled the wheat into the farmer's warehouse.

In this scene without any sense of urgency, it is like a ferocious animal leisurely guarding a piece of fat around its mouth, showing off its power while waiting for the time to come calmly.

On the contrary, the pressure on the people of Juancheng, who had seen all this clearly, increased sharply and became more and more uneasy.

Guo Jia couldn't bear the wind, so he didn't ride a horse, but took a chariot, so he arrived later.After hearing about this, he agreed with Yan Qing's approach: "Wen Ruo is loyal and resourceful, and is very close to Cao Cao. He will definitely not surrender. This request for a meeting must have malicious intentions and schemes, but Chongguang refused." In other words, it will make him unable to figure out the reality of our army for a while, and he has no chance to take advantage of it."

With Guo Jia's words, Yan Qing settled down a bit, thought for a moment and said: "Qing is only worried that this might show cowardice."

If it was only about the individual, like the previous few times when Xun Yu's estrangement was almost overshadowed, Yan Qing thought he was a barefoot commander, even if he faced this famous wise man, he was not in vain at all.

But when it came to the success or failure of Lu Bu's army, he became very thoughtful, lest he might make a mistake.

Guo Jia laughed and said, "What kind of whimsical idea is Chongguang? There are tens of thousands of troops approaching the city, and the thousand people in the city are not magic soldiers and generals. Why should we be afraid? Trapped in this tiny place, there is nowhere to display this ability."

Seeing Yan Qing's expression relaxed, Guo Jia added a rare kindness to express his relief: "If Chong Guang still has concerns, when he sends another letter, Jia is willing to go for a while."

Unexpectedly, Yan Qing instantly firmed his attitude, and quickly said: "It is absolutely unnecessary."

With Xun Yu's ingenious arguments, coupled with his friendship with Guo Jia...he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Lu Bu had been listening in silence, and now he echoed with a blank expression: "It's rare to see idlers waiting. If there are really important things worth listening to, it won't be too late when he is a prisoner. "

Confused by Yan Qing's inexplicable change of attitude, Guo Jia shook his fan, didn't bother to study it carefully, and said casually: "I'll follow what you two said. It's just Chongguang, how long will it take for those equipment to be ready?"

From the beginning to the end, it was Yan Qing who advocated follow-up, so he naturally understood it most clearly, and replied without hesitation: "Five days at the latest, three days at the earliest."

Guo Jia nodded, then puzzled and said: "Let the soldiers attack by force, it is sure to be sure, and there is no need to delay these days, why does Chongguang have to borrow something else? After the end, people have to rebuild the ruined wall. Wouldn't it be troublesome?" .”

Yan Qing could not explain the tragic failure that Zhuge Liang had encountered in history, so he had to explain his approach from other aspects: "The ones who stayed in Juancheng were all Cao Cao's loyal and confidantes. .With Wen Ruo's plan and the advantage of the land, it will not necessarily save time, but also lose the lives of soldiers and generals, and the loss is too great."

This time, those who followed Lu Bu to fight were all veterans who had seen blood on the battlefield. They were the elite who had been receiving strict military training.If one is lost, it will take at least a year and a half, and at most several years of hard work to cultivate a person whose ability is comparable to it, and the casualties can be reduced as much as possible.

The casualties Yan Qing wanted to avoid were not only from their side, but also from the current enemy.

From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, the people were displaced, people's livelihood was difficult, wars were frequent, plagues were rampant, and natural disasters were numerous, resulting in serious casualties.

The number of soldiers involved in the famous battles in history has also shrunk again and again. From the beginning of the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops, to the extent that tens of thousands of people can be raised in the later stage, it is considered that the loss of human life is the most intuitive. It is the most euphemistic expression.

It is the suffering and sorrow that the entire China has endured.

With the cover of soldiers charging into the battle on the ladder for a period of time, the people below can control these cumbersome equipment from a distance, and the strong and tall city walls will gradually be wiped out.

And when these three kinds of equipment go into battle at the same time, the movement of tearing down the city wall together must be huge, like the sky is rolling and the earth is shaking, it is extremely shocking.Seeing the high walls that protect them fall apart in the flying dust, but they can't resist at all, isn't it also a great torment for the people inside?

It can't shake the will of officials like Xun Yu, but it can break the courage of ordinary people to resist.When the city was rebuilt after the war and they received them who were afraid, the obstacles they encountered were not so great.

Another point is that, as a traveler who came from an era that preached the slogan of "rejuvenating the country with science and technology", Yan Qing wanted to let Lu Bu and Guo Jia see for themselves the damage to the city wall defense caused by the catapults, rush cars and well rails that he personally improved. Taking advantage of the unique advantages, he realized the importance of mastering advanced technology and the emphasis on weaponry research.

Yan Qing's sinister intention to shake the order of "city, agriculture, industry and commerce" was not noticed by others.Instead, another thing that he has been secretly worried about has indeed happened: history has begun to seriously deviate from the track.

Let's say that as soon as Xiahou Dun, the prefect of Dongjun County, received the news that Juancheng was in danger, he wanted to send troops to rescue him without saying a word, but was stopped by his subordinates.

"Don't be reckless, general! Dongjun County has put all its strength into it, but there are only more than [-] men, and Lu Bu has always been famous for his bravery and skill in battle. This time, he has planned for a long time and came prepared. With a single army, he may be his opponent. "

Xiahou Dun looked at him with a heavy face, drew his sword and cursed: "Stop talking nonsense! Knowing that the lord entrusted Yanzhou's safety to us before leaving, don't say that Yanzhou has made mistakes, even if you just ignore the difficulties in Juancheng, it is a failure. The lord entrusted him with the honor to live in the world? Military affairs are dangerous and unpredictable, how can you only fight the battles you are sure of winning because you cherish your own life! Even if you lose, you can still echo the city, For the time being, I have the strength to fight, and I can delay it until the lord returns to the rescue!"

With the sword point in his throat, the subordinate officer was not guilty, and persuaded again: "The general's words are wrong. The loss of Juancheng is almost a foregone conclusion, but if it is lost, it can be returned. How can one city win or lose? , Lost your life in vain because of haste? The lord raised his troops and went away in anger, and now he returned in a hurry, not to mention that it took a lot of time. It is not wise to fight like this just because the soldiers are exhausted and tired. I heard that Gongsun Zan sent troops to help Tao As for the matter of modesty, why don't the general go to Jizhou to clarify the situation with Yuan Jizhou, so as to discuss the strategy of advancing troops, so as to help the lord regain the lost land, so that the lord will not be forced to fight alone and end up alone and helpless?"

Hearing this at first, Xia Houdun couldn't help being taken aback, but after thinking about it for a while, there was something to be said for this statement.

Although the honeymoon period between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is actually over, because one side still has a big enemy approaching, it can still be said that they are as gluey as paint, and their lips and teeth are protecting each other.

When Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought endlessly, although Cao Cao did not give his full assistance, in order to protect his back, he could concentrate on cultivating the people's interest, and in the end he helped repel the enemy several times.

Yuan Shao, on the other hand, held grudges but not gratitude, so he had a naturally arrogant temperament.Thinking that this is because of their own promotion to have a place, and now that the friends who are getting more and more wings are ungrateful, they are not as dedicated as they used to be in return, and they have been dissatisfied for a long time.

If you hear about this difficulty, you may just watch the fire from the other side, waiting to make a profit.But if Xiahoudun, the beloved general who is highly valued by Cao Cao, went to ask for it, Yuan Shao was reluctant, even if it was just because of face, he had to make an appropriate statement, lest a negligence would hurt the feelings of other officials who were attached to him. Heart.

Otherwise, people in the world are not blind, so how could they not see that even Gongsun Zan could add to his troubles by sending troops from thousands of miles away to help Tao Qian defend Xu, but he would stand by and watch the death of his life-and-death allies who put on armor for him many times, just waiting for him? Looking for leaks?

Even if Yuan Shao could really do such an immoral thing, his bright-eyed and clear-headed counselors would definitely not allow their master to become confused.

Because Xiahou Dun obeyed the advice of his subordinates, he led a small group of people in a hurry, and rode lightly on the road, heading straight for Yuan Shao, and no one came to rescue him in Juancheng.

Seeing that the equipment was about to be assembled, Yan Qing suddenly remembered that not only Xiahou Dun, who had returned to aid in history, was late in the future, but even Cao Ren was nowhere to be seen. Feeling uneasy, he quickly put aside the work of supervising work at hand, and rode a horse to look for Guo Jialu Bu.

Guo Jia was very calm. Hearing the news, he said calmly: "Then it's going to Yuan Benchu's place. It's okay. After he agrees to send troops, and then actually rush to this place, all Yanzhou should have fallen into the hands of the lord."

Lu Bu's voice was ambiguous, but his tone was full of domineering: "Just because Shao is not Bu's opponent."

Rao was so worried at this moment, Yan Qing couldn't help turning his head to the side and took a good look at him.

Only then did I realize that my lord had found some sugarcane from somewhere, and he held one piece in his hand and gnawed absent-mindedly, spit out the dregs in his mouth, and generously rewarded Chitu with the other piece, allowing it to bite on this fresh thing , wagging its long tail joyfully, sucking with relish.

Yan Qing's eyelids twitched, and he immediately remembered that Cao Pi, who liked to eat grapes and sugar cane very much, was here.

Lu Bu keenly caught his gaze, snapped off half of the part he had gnawed a few bites, and handed it to Yan Qing's mouth in a polite manner: "Chongguang may as well try this thing, its name is Cane cane, sweet and juicy, is interesting, just chew it, don't swallow the residue."

Guo Jia also admired it quite highly: "This thing is very hangover."

The lord's kindness is hard to give up, Yan Qing took it subconsciously, but didn't rush to speak, but stared at the rough tooth marks on the thick sugarcane, and sighed that Lu Bu's teeth were neat and beautiful (I don't know why Lu Bu chose to bite the one he had bitten) The other half was handed over), after a long time to react, he glared at Guo Jia in disbelief and said: "The army is forbidden to drink, why are you drinking again?!"

"Chongguang is joking." Guo Jia immediately fell down, and sighed full of melancholy: "It's still ten months before Li Jia is lifted..."

It was only then that Yan Qing remembered that he still had to fulfill his promise to quit drinking for one year.

Since Guo Jia was just enjoying his mouth, Yan Qing stopped fussing about him, frowned and returned to the topic, and said to himself: "How could Yuan Shao be willing to save? How could he dare to save?"

In history, Yuan Shao did not participate in the melee between Lv Bu and Cao Cao. Only when Cao Cao was defeated, only three counties were left, and the food was exhausted, he threw an olive branch with ill intentions and asked him to be his subordinate. .

And if Yuan Shao really wanted to send troops, how much to send would be a big problem: if he sent too little, it would be a drop in the bucket, and he would simply send meat to Lu Bu; rear.

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Who would want a neighbor as strong and brave as the lord?"

Compared with Lu Bu, Cao Cao, who was once a close friend and helped him from time to time, is very precious.

Either because of the scorching sun, there are signs of heat stroke; or because he has been worrying so much recently and lacks sleep, Yan Qing wants to say something, but suddenly feels chest tightness, shortness of breath, top-heavy, and the world is spinning in front of him, and he still wants to hold on. Suddenly, it went dark, and the whole person fell from Xue Yucong's body without warning, and fell straight down.
