Rao is Guo Jia's talent strategy strategy can be said to be rare in the world to find, identify people batch life is also God accurate exceptionally, but also failed to anticipate that they still have obviously drunk unconscious, but also by the boss rudely poured into the sober soup, forced to sober up the day.
Only when he opened his eyes in pain and was about to have a seizure, he saw a smiling Yan Qing followed by a blackened seal, fierce and vicious behind him, only holding his tongue and not saying anything to his lord.
Extremely good at judging the situation of Guo Jia, on the spot was this horrible light to provoke a jolt, quickly adjusted the mentality to come over, only lazily raised the curtains of the eyes, and so dizzy brain to recover for a moment, and then simply asked: "How many shifts?"
Yan Qing smiled brightly, "The third watch has passed, the fourth watch has not yet arrived."
"You also know what time it is." Guo Jia is full of complaints, looking at the tiger face Lu Bu all shocking resentment, it is not difficult to imagine what happened before he woke up, want to laugh but not good to laugh out, only to force to endure, long sigh, asked: "Chong Guang what important things, even this night's work can not wait?"
"Since it is a hundred thousand times more urgent." Yan Qing ingratiatingly holds him upright and puts on another thick coat to save him from being frozen by the cold winds of the night: "By settling with you and the Lord earlier, the carrier pigeons can be released on the road earlier, and won't he be able to rush there earlier?"
Guo Jia let out a heavy breath through his nose and said noncommittally, "Who is it?"
Yan Qing was all but certain, "What do you think of Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin?"
"Lujiang Taishou?" Guo Jia frowned, as a Yangzhou, he is a family of origin, this year's performance is outstanding, the assessment is outstanding, the appearance is very handsome young man, although there is an impression, but it is not deep: "The Lord's subordinate civil and military such as the clouds, if you really choose, may not not be no good candidates. Why use him to take on this big task?"
Yan Qing's excitement has not yet gone down, but also early ready for a long speech, listen to his questioning, then a gentle smile, Xu Xu Road: "In Qing's opinion, Gong Jin for Ying Jun heterogeneous talent, extremely bold, the first time for his friend Bo Fu ......"
......
Ten days later, by pouring efforts to persuade Lu Bu and Guo Jia two Yan Qing sent out the letter, through a few body snow-white, rounded body pigeon feet, quietly to the Lujiang Shu County of the governor's residence, gently fall into the hands of a finger like onion root.
Zhou Yu unfolded the cloth silk, see this secret letter is actually the Lord seal stamp, can not help but confused and stared.
Auxiliary people decryption release code things, although placed in the study, with the confidentiality of the same all the time with the pro-guard, just Zhou Yu wisdom, weekdays and leisure, out of prudence, has long been clear in the chest, such as from a young age will be familiar with reading the scriptures, history, and so like a recitation of the collection, do not have to rely on those outside, can be interpreted instantly.
He was not panicked, the first cloth and silk re-rolled, gathered into the sleeve, a warm smile, first dismissed the maid, stepped into the secret room, and ordered people outside the strict guard, before alone in front of the case, scrutinize.
Read is only half a tea effort, just to be caught up in the thoughts of Zhou Yu out of the room, the guards but enough to wait for a few incense sticks of time.
"This one is to be sent to Zhencheng, and this one," Zhou Yu summoned in a close associate and smiled faintly, "is to be sent to Shouchun."
Because Lu Bu's army only uses the means of flying pigeons to send letters when the matter is urgent, so no one knows about it for the time being. Zhou Yu, while secretly preparing, patiently waited for a few days, and really waited for a few fast horses, received a few fake letters that were actually not true.
He also seriously returned a few letters, sent out, then slowly and methodically prepared a dozen carloads of grain and grass, point on more than a hundred original is only at his command of the ministries, is actually to personally escort this batch of military resources to the north.
Along the way every sentry, got people ask about, he did not avoid, only elegantly answered that the supplies are carried by the Lord's orders, take the Lujiang county this year's harvest of 30% of the armament.
Because there is no room for error, he needs to lead his own people and send them to Zhencheng as soon as possible.
Because Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in order to prevent Lu Bu further northward invasion, and formed an alliance has been widely known, the measures to prepare for war and defend the enemy is not justified, Zhou Yu this set of words, and did not get anyone to question, and do not dare to delay the important things, so he let him all the way unimpeded.
It wasn't until half a month later, when he suddenly and completely lost track of the pedestrian and was not heard of entering Yanzhou territory, that a furor was stirred up.
How could more than a hundred men with provisions, clothes and swords disappear out of thin air in their own sphere of influence for no reason?
It's only possible that they had a change of heart and diverted halfway through the trip to some other place.
By the time the other county guards realized that Zhou Yu was in trouble and hurriedly notified Lu Bu, who was far away in Yanzhou, the news of Zhou Yu's defection from Lu to Gongsun had already been widely spread by Gongsun Zan, who was quite pleased with the news.
Lu Bu was undoubtedly touched by the scales, felt disgraced, immediately burst into a rage, Zhou Yu's betrayal of the abhorrent, not only in front of many of his subordinates in the Council Chamber, he scolded him to the skin, smashed a number of cups and glasses, regardless of writing a number of letters of pain and anger to denounce his lack of integrity, thin grace and little justice, and with great fanfare, sent to the Zhou Yu's new employer, Gongsun Zan, to the destined to be a prosperous former subordinates add to the trouble once again! The letter was sent to Zhou Yu's new boss, Gongsun Zan, with great fanfare, giving his former subordinate, who was destined to make a name for himself, an extra setback.
Dissatisfied with the Lord's cold treatment and harsh use, the move to vote for someone else is not uncommon; because of their own eyes, because more optimistic about the prospects of the current temporary disadvantaged party, at the expense of the strong owner to the low side of the walk, turn around and "get married" practice is not uncommon; before leaving the former Lord unkindly will be cut a knife, to make a breakthrough style of the lending of flowers to the Buddha, in exchange for trust! and valued behavior although people criticized, but not to the point of being scorned and despised.
Lu Bu now at least for the pivotal, cut three states of the powerful lords, when the knowledge of people is not clear, identify people is not clear, but also to treat people insufficient, now is just the loss of some money and food and face, but also this grudging, harboring resentment, and actually chasing curses to other places, rather degrading style, make people laugh.
What is not known to outsiders is that as soon as the blue-faced Lu Bu returned to the inner hall, his monstrous anger disappeared in an instant, and instead he looked at Yan Qing with secret anticipation, "How is it?"
Not to say that his performance, which was suspected to be in character, was indeed superb, and to say that he was brave enough to blacken himself with determination, Yan Qing had to hold up a knuckle-dragging encouragement, and did not mince his words of praise, praising him fiercely.
Straight to call Lu Bu all over the book stage, only to look at Guo Jia said, "In this way, those Zan Shao laid eyes and ears fixed to hit the scheme."
Guo Jia nodded, "Are these all things you taught Gongjin?"
Yan Qing shook his head.
He only roughly described the plan, and hope that Zhou Yu can achieve the goal, as for the specific strategy, it is all decentralized to Zhou Yu alone to formulate, they are responsible for cooperation can be.
I thought it would take ten days and half a month before Zhou Yu would finalize his plan, but I didn't want him to be so efficient and start taking action on the same day.
Zhou Yu, a powerful character with intelligence and emotional intelligence, who could make Cheng Pu, who was initially unimpressed with him and even harbored ill feelings towards him in history, praise him, was gifted in this aspect of swindling and counter-attacking.
Yan Qing did not intend to show off his skills at the outset, playing with the idea of letting him have free rein. And as far as the results were concerned, they were indeed very good.
If you don't bring enough chips, it's impossible to impress someone with a fraudulent surrender. Zhou Yu is not yet married and does not have a family to bring with him, so in order to make Gongsun Zan drop his guard and to completely 'anger' Lu Bu, he naturally has to bring some of the food he needs the most.
Guo Jia narrowed his eyes slightly and joked, "What Jia doesn't understand is that Shiguang clearly hasn't seen much of him, yet he is extremely trusting. Aren't you afraid that Gongjin will use the trick to fake it for real?"
"There is the Lord's divine martial arts talent in front of the pearl, and there is a dear friend Bo Fu like a fish in the water behind, look at it, but it is just the light of a firefly and, how can it be worthy of competing with the sun and the moon?" Yan Qing since he dared to let Zhou Yu out, is to hold that he will not deviate from the chips. Pursing her lips, she smiled and said, "You've underestimated Gong Jin."
Guo Jia said wryly: "Jia only a pair of fish eyes, since not as good as Chong Guang eyes. Also risky to a small man's heart to measure the gentleman's heart - only as you are love Gongjin posture appearance outstanding, Fang and believe it."
Yan Qing's eyebrows jumped and she made a gesture to kick him, "You're drunk without wine, and you're generating nonsense for no reason in the daytime."
Lu Bu interjected, "Just because of those petty gains, they can be convinced of Gong Jin?"
"Lord this is not true, that is full of more than a dozen carts of grain, a great deal, how can it be called a small profit?"
The only thing that Lu Bu is so wealthy and generous is that he doesn't take the 30% of a county's harvest into consideration. But within Zhou Yu's authority, this is already the most grain and grass he can mobilize at once, plus 100 elite soldiers, enough to show sincerity, but also enough to make according to the desolate Youzhou, delayed farming, even if there is a period of time to recuperate, a war is also more than enough to stretch, is difficult for this Gongsun Zan heart happy.
After Yan Qing corrected him, he said solemnly, "The descendant came with a heavy gift, and Gong Jin is as elegant and intelligent as a philosopher, Gongsun Zan will not ignore it, whether it is a doubt or a letter, it must be accepted. What's more, Gong Jin is good at talking, and if you drink mash with him, you won't realize that you are drunk, and with the help of these scolding letters of the Lord, it is not difficult for him to maneuver around in the camp."
Perhaps with Zhou Yu's charisma, called good at discovering general talent talent Liu Bei will be for it.
Yan Qing guffawed, "Even if we can't win Zan's trust in the end, we can still leave with our sleeves up, and make Yuan Shao suspicious, thinking that our army and Zan's army are communicating with each other, and that we're using the gift of grain and grass as a letter to plot against the Jizhou province that he's based on."
Zhou Yu entered Jixian County, which is the capital of You Prefecture, with this remarkable amount of provisions and men, and without waiting for him to knock on the city gate, Gongsun Zan, who had heard of the news, could not hold back the fire in his heart, and steered his horse to meet him in person.
Gongsun Zan is not a person who is thirsty for talent, the reason why he treats Zhou Yu differently, and does not hesitate to condescend to him to access the official residence, and recruit the generals, and set up banquets to talk about, at first it is to love him for this to abandon the darkness and light of day, and to hit the Lv Bu's arrogance; after that it is to be happy that he acted with determination and sense of humor, and to interrupt the way of repentance of himself, and to capture so much grain and grass to send, and to be hated by Lv Bu to the extent that he has lost his honor and model.
Although I know that Zhou Yu is quite prestigious in the Jiangdong area, and has a reputation as a famous scholar, but the real first time to see this beautiful husband, even if it is a little praised posture and appearance is very beautiful Gongsun Zan also sighed in awe, the heart of the joy.
When the banquet was over, Zhou Yu courteously made his farewells first, and Gongsun Zan went back to the inner hall, because he did not have a military advisor in his tent, and discussed things only with his own several subordinate brothers and the chief historian Guan Jing.
Author's Note: The bastard Gongsun Zan has a wooden military advisor.
