Although know by Guo Jia misunderstanding, produced the wrong high regard, but Yan Qing also really can't explain how he is so clear about Yuan Shao tent those who are not known to outsiders of the hidden things, only have the heart of the default down.
These two matters came in a hurry and were resolved quickly. Yan Qing and Guo Jia split up the work, with him dealing with the minor troubles brought about by the emperor, and then allowing Guo Jia to write up the reply to Yuan Shao.
Rather, they had had some disagreements on exactly how to respond.
Lu Bu is full of confidence and excitedly said that if Yuan Shao really dares to lead his troops to violate the law, he only needs to bring 30,000 soldiers, and he can beat him to death and return home in defeat.
Both Yan Qing and Guo Jia feel that Yanzhou has just been settled, and that the generals have different intentions, are suspicious of each other, and are not sure of their obedience, making them unstable and unstable. Zhang Miao, for example, was so greedy and fearful of death that he couldn't even trust his friend Cao Cao, and this time he surrendered easily, but how to deal with this unstable factor is also a big problem.
Moreover, when they took advantage of the situation and captured Cao Cao's strongholds, the banner they used was to fight against the evils and eliminate the tyranny of the good, so in the present situation of manpower shortage and troop fatigue, there is no need to fight against Yuan Shao, who has just been rejuvenated for a period of time.
Avoid the front for the time being, so as to get step by step, rush to attack the fierce advance is often only tactical success, but will bring the strategic disadvantage.
Save the snipe and clam, in turn, flatly called the northwestern black mountain army and the east of the Gongsun Zan to take advantage of the advantage.
Since Yuan Shao was hypocritically persuading for peace, they simply did the opposite and directly sold him a favor, stating that they would no longer pursue and kill Cao Cao's remaining troops, and were even willing to return Cao Cao's family as they were.
Unless Yuan Shao is willing to tear his face off to fight this battle, it will be enough to block the words of his intention to make trouble.
Yuan Shao's purpose of sending troops is not to recover the territory for his friend Cao Cao, but to get a share of the pie, which is not good for him to go in and not good for him to go out, but only to swallow this loss.
Yan Qing looked at Lu Bu with a cutting gaze and warmly inquired, "What does Lord think?"
Lu Bu hmmm'd rightfully so.
Yan Qing, despite not being surprised, still felt relieved.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, frequent wars, the vassals compete with each other, can be captured to the enemy head of the family, unless there is a deep hatred between the two forces, are to send back or seize the main, so as to show benevolence, very few will be a disaster to the family, will be killed for no reason.
When the historical Lu Bu fled from Chang'an in disgrace, the rebel army did not kill his family, but just did not release them; Cao Cao did not harm Liu Bei's wife and children when he broke up the three brothers in the Peach Orchard;
Yan Qing had always been very much in favor of this practice of leaving a thread of truth in everything, so that we could meet again in the future: who knew that the enemies who were still killing each other today would not become teammates who would hook up together tomorrow?
He is willing to do as much as he can to make good karma and get a good reputation for a no-budget deal.
Especially that go back to the Cao camp goodwill, in those days, with Cao Cao's family get along very well, especially the tiger head, open-minded love to laugh half-grown boy Cao Ang, and small arms and short legs, holding a bow and arrows chased after, milky voice milky earnestly ask his brother to teach archery Cao Pi ......
When they all fell into his hands, whether it was from moral considerations or the sentiment of being a traveler, Yan Qing did not want to make things difficult for them at all.
Just have eaten down Yanzhou, as well as Cheng Yu and Xun Yu that a few elite strategists who are wise and close to the demon, is absolutely impossible to give up.
"In order to prevent Yuan Xi from accidentally encountering any accidents on his way home," Yan Qing emphasized the word 'accidentally', and then smiled, "why don't we point out a thousand soldiers and horses and personally send him on his way?"
Who knows that Yuan Tan, having failed in his plan, may still have some backhanded tricks in store, and have to kill Yuan Xi, so that he can pour sewage on their heads, forcing Yuan Shao to fight?
"This move is feasible." Guo Jia fanned himself and said with a smile, "Yuan Shao is a man who is enterprising but prefers to be facetious, is indecisive, is biased, and is very indecisive on important matters. He is now operating the fertile and rich Ji Zhou, which is very prosperous, and is definitely wary of being attacked by Zhang Yan and Gongsun Zan when he comes out of the woodwork. Once he misses this great opportunity, if he wants to make another move, he will only be able to do so with dry eyes."
This is the end of autumn and early winter, and the northern night, really can not be called hot. But Yan Qing view Guo Jia shaking fan, although the heart understands that this is deliberately pretending, or feel that this move is indescribable dashing good-looking, can not help but reach out a draw, a moment will be in his hands of the heavy fan snatched over, they also have to learn to learn to fan a few fans, and immediately lost interest, the fan re-closed, rested back on the table said: "Then again, Cao Cao with those tens of thousands of troops, where in the end! Where exactly did Cao Cao go with those tens of thousands of troops?"
Guo Jia was not very concerned and said, "I'm afraid that they are waiting in Xuzhou territory, wanting to wait for Yuan Shao to send troops, and then use it as a cover to forcefully attack Qingzhou."
"Qingzhou?"
Yan Qing muttered a repetition.
Qingzhou, which borders Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Jizhou, and is bordered by the sea to the east, is in a state of chaos, and is strangely divided by many different parties at the same time. Cao Cao's surprise entry into the area has been a tug-of-war with Tian Kai for quite some time, but because he was mainly focused on developing Yanzhou, he was unable to spare any energy to drive the other side away.
Up to now, the first is Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai County, who was sent down to the county by Dong Zhuo; the second is the Yellow Turbans, led by Guan Hei, who are waiting for an opportunity to make a move; and the third is Tian Kai, the assassin of Qingzhou, who is under the private watch of Gong Sun Zan.
As the saying goes, "Greed is not good enough," Yan Qing tends to develop in a practical manner, and does not want to rush into a multi-party war, so he does not think of hitting the idea of Qingzhou for the time being.
It's just that he was so focused on the banditry Kong Rong suffered in the North Sea, how could he have overlooked the situation of the whole Qingzhou?
After collecting the hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers who had fled to Yanzhou to commit crimes, Cao Cao still has some residual power in Qingzhou, which he was unable to control before because he was not able to focus on Yanzhou, and was not able to do so.
If we do everything we can, these three scattered forces will never be able to withstand Cao Cao's elite army's attack, so it is indeed a good choice.
Cao Cao knows very well that if Lu Bu is able to strike at his vitals in a thunderous manner and is not mindful of the large Qingzhou state that is so close at hand, he will never be willing to let him live and give him a chance to make a comeback.
Once Lu Bu marched out of Yanzhou, Cao Cao had no choice but to surrender to Lu Bu, or turn his back on Yuan Shao.
Now he is making a show of trying to confuse them into thinking that he has taken his troops to the annexed state, but in fact he is hibernating at the border of Qingzhou, so that when their attention and firepower are attracted by Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, they will surely not be able to care about hindering him from taking down Qingzhou.
"Very likely indeed."
Yan Qing a think through this point, the words of Guo Jia believe ninety percent, can not help but face grave, carefully thought up, the results just together head, was Lu Bu's small action to interrupt the thought, full of speechless, "...... Lord."
Only to see Lu Bu at some point picking up the fan that had just been seized by Yan Qing and placed on the desk with a lack of interest, curtly fanning Yan Qing with such doggedness that he couldn't bear to look at him.
What a scandal!
His hand is strong, but let this flashy fan for the first time in his life on the actual use, so that Guo Jia heartache some eye twitching, but not care to do things have always been unique Lu Bu to their own chief of staff fan this one.
"Oh."
Lu Bu put the fan away with an expressionless face and leaned back, always honest.
Yan Qing was just about to continue the interrupted train of thought, in his heart he vaguely felt that just now the categorical rejection of that solicitude, perhaps will hurt Lu Bu's face, can't help but feel a little guilty, and don't want him to get an inch, so soothingly reached out from the bottom of the sleeve, gently patted the back of Lu Bu's hand that was propped up on the bamboo mat.
When Lu Bu numbly climbed down the pole, secretly stretching one leg over and firmly hooking it onto Yan Qing's, Yan Qing could not help but feel amused, but invariably settled down and proceeded to think of business.
He was not glad to have discovered the omission in advance, not because of this after all, this is just their guess, more chagrin, only to feel that all the effort to lay a dragnet, in Cao Cao's eyes is simply a hundred omissions.
He used to think that if the historical Lu Bu hadn't coveted Puyang City and listened to Chen Gong's words and killed Cao Cao in time to cut off Cao Cao's backroads, or if the soldier who caught Cao Cao had recognized who the man in front of him was and didn't let him go, but instead tied him up and sent him to Lu Bu, he would have been able to get rid of this big problem.
However, the course of history has already changed radically, he can only manipulate the beginning, and the development and results will have to rely on the subsequent changes and continuous depiction.
Lost his usual rely on life of anticipation of the enemy first opportunity of the bottom of the air, Yan Qing at first still inevitably panic, that opponent but the old cunning, often help from the sky of the lord Cao Cao ah! Even if it looks like he's already been whisked away and is in a sorry state, as long as he doesn't know about his death, or doesn't catch him in his hands, he'll never be able to rest easy.
Later gradually adapted to these pressures, Yan Qing not only became much more calm, but also slowly out of the misunderstanding, pondered over.
In terms of talent, he is certainly far less than Guo Jia Xu Shu Jia Yan and others, but the world is not perfect, he simply does not have to, but also impossible, to go out of his way to take all the things in their own ah!
With this group of fiery-eyed wise men to recognize the plots of the opponents, to advise and protect Lu Bu, he only needs to appropriately use his own familiarity with the history of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, to verify these strategies and discuss them before making a joint judgment; he can also be a rein that firmly pulls on Lu Bu and guides him to admonish him, so that he doesn't act recklessly in a hot-headed manner; and occasionally play some roles in the internal affairs and in pulling together talents, which is already enough. Occasionally, he can also play some roles in internal affairs and attracting talents, which is already enough.
From confusion, entanglement, suffering, to adjust the state, and finally find their own positioning, really down to earth, Yan Qing really took a lot of effort.
However, he hides his emotions of kung fu is extremely deep, whether it is sharp eyes such as Guo Jia, or sensitive to his mind such as Lu Bu, are this nothing to notice, from his light-hearted expression, are accustomed to believe that he has always been in the chest, the victory is in the hands of it.
After talking about business, it was already the middle of the night, Guo Jia used a fan to cover up, yawned, and wanted to leave to return to the tent.
"It's so late," hearing this yawn from him, Yan Qing just woke up as if from a dream, and after asking about the time now, his face changed and he hurriedly urged, "Quickly go and rest."
Although Guo Jia's physique has greatly enhanced, the skin color is rosy, the body shape is also compared to the previous wind a blow on the collapse of the thin, become healthy some, but Yan Qing always still think about his untimely death, not pay attention to let him stay up late at night, the heart of the tightened a tight, rambling: "This autumn to winter at the juncture of the most susceptible to catching a cold, don't crave cold, keep warm ... ... ..."
Guo Jia rolled his eyes and nonchalantly interrupted him, "You can worry about it, but the one who has recovered from a serious illness is not Jia, but someone else!"
Seeing his perfunctory and complacent behavior, Yan Qing narrowed his eyes dangerously, adding a bit more of an unruffled aura: "Oh? But having just raised so much meat or two, Feng Xiao is already oblivious to this?"
Originally lying lazily on one side, the voice did not say anything Lu Bu abruptly sat up, will face a plate: "Feng Xiao has always been weak, really should listen to this advice, to the body as a priority."
Simultaneously being looked at by the Lord and Yan Qing with a stern gaze, even Guo Jia was somewhat overwhelmed and had to honestly answer.
