From Chang'an to Xu County, which was later renamed Xuchang by Cao Pi, there is a short distance, and even if one person rides a horse that travels thousands of miles a day and rushes day and night, it would still take twenty days of work.
What's more, Lu Bu's army also brought a large number of slow travel, but also extremely eye-catching supply wagons, in the road there are starving bones of the official road, even if those starving green-eyed starving people and robbing merchants and passers-by of the bandits have a sense of self-awareness, do not dare to mess with these heavily armed soldiers, next to the food shortages due to the successive wars of the vassals can not be in the face of a few points of the little emperor to turn a blind eye to, easy to let go of.
Although Lu Bu has always had the extraordinary dominance to kill one and sweep the world at any time, and does not mind at all being looked for trouble (it is also true that on weekdays he is the one who goes looking for people with a lot of rights and wrongs), but both Yan Qing and Jia Dang, both half do not want to have a great deal of vitality and lose their hard-won material base before they even arrive at the unknown situation in the state of Yuzhou, and so they have been discussing this for a couple of days.
When Zhang Liao, who had brought with him a much larger force than when he went there, and had apparently recruited a number of captives who had served Niu Fu as his own, came back and presented the rich results of the battle without dishonoring the public's expectations, the two masters of the army finally came to a consensus on the strategy of breaking up into smaller groups, changing flags, and traveling in different outfits.
Dong Zhuo carefully raised those people, although not tough, compared to the yellow scarf uprising of the rabble, or hundreds of times better. Lu Bu disliked carefully selected some, but also barely picked up more than five thousand people, plus his original batch of people, adding up to more than ten thousand.
Don't look at these days even if casually pull out in a state to kill and loot the Yellow Turbans, moving can be called a million, but that's just the number look bluffing, and after professional training, but also well-equipped and strong generals command of the regular army, is not comparable.
Otherwise, how could Cao Cao have suppressed the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou last year with his few men, gained a piece of fertile land for recruiting soldiers and horses, and become the assassin of a state in a comfortable position?
Therefore, Lu Bu's existing veterans of hundreds of battles under his command are definitely a powerful force that should not be underestimated, and is also the bottom card that Yan Qing and Jia Yan do not want to expose early.
Since Yuan Shao's power is so strong that people dare not easily mess with him, it is better to pretend to be one of his soldiers and generals. More than 10,000 people scattered into seven or eight teams, a single looks no more than 1,000 out of the head, split up, rather than a huge soup with tens of thousands of troops across the border to be much safer.
The good thing is that the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the army's distinction is still extremely rough, news transmission and extremely lagging, armor polish bright point, and then change the Yuan family flag, will be the first to find them and just scouts, just need to be able to temporarily fooled, even if they come back to God want to catch up, with Lu Bu's account are all the ability to rush marching good hands, early with food and grass slipped the number, simply no one saw.
It was only in this candidate to lead the troops that the opinions of Lu Bu and the two military divisions diverged greatly.
According to Lu Bu, the safety of Mr. Chong Guang and Mr. Wen Yuan is the most important thing, and the journey is so far that he can't rest assured even if he leaves it to Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, so it's most appropriate to follow him.
Yan Qing, however, did not appreciate, insisted that he has enough self-protection ability - think of the first time he single-handedly from the Chang Ban Po did not come to Changan safe and sound, according to the reasoning of the best use of talent, make the best use of things, but should be given to do things easy to fall off the chain of Li Su to be a supervisor.
Although Jia Yan is a real weak literati, but his ability is never in holding a weapon on the battlefield to kill the enemy, but the use of stratagems to kill in the invisible on the commanding force is also quite high, leading an army without problems, only to bring a higher martial arts adjutant, and then arrange some of the protection of the guards, perhaps the most secure and unharmed.
If Yan Qing is the only one, although Lu Bu can't talk to him, but then he will have a temper, forcibly suppressing the non-take him, Yan Qing again furious, the wood is already in the boat, there is nothing he can do.
However, now that there is an additional military advisor, Jia Yan, this plan will not work.
Although Jia Dang felt Lu Bu a piece of protection under the love of the minister's heart touching heaven and earth, but very agree with Yan Qing's opinion, to help him to persuade the Lord, Lu Bu heart and angry and bitter, really can not be argued with the intention to go out, the big deal is that the original form of the original to be bent on it, but was Jia Dang in time to use the 'Lord must not be rash, when the overall situation, whether to fail to live up to the good intentions of the heavy light! ' sentence blocked, the only stinking face reluctantly agreed.
"This is very good. I also hope that the Lord will rest early and take care of his health."
Just after the tiger's whiskers, of course, Yan Qing will not be stupid enough to stay, but also quite righteous enough to bring on the party to help the voice and the creditable Jia Dang together resignation, even if the back of the back of the viciously received countless eye slashes but also calmly self-composed.
In the corridor just walked a few steps, Jia Yan just smiled and flirted: "So called Chongguang as wish, but Yan has been disliked."
Yan Qing guffawed, knowing that he was merely joking, and easily returned, "If Wen He doesn't mind, before you leave, can you be invited to come to Qing's room to get together and drink a few cups together, as a gesture of reparation for drunkenness?"
Jia Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if seriously considering it, and loosely said, "If it's not a good and famous tea, I'm sure I won't go there."
Yan Qing laughed, "It's better to catch up than to catch up, why don't you come to Qing's room now and taste it yourself?"
"Just what I wanted."
Jia raised his eyebrows, nodded his head and bowed greatly, and was glad to go.
Afterward, Lu Bu, who was almost coerced into agreeing to separate from Yan Qing and was rather sulking, found out about it, and was so furious that he flattened a thick copper bottle on the spot and threw it to smash the wooden window pane of the hall - not only did his own two military advisors work together and unite to try to pressurize him, but also rolled up into a pile in a dignified manner and slept together like no one else! They slept together as if no one else was there!
What's even more annoying is that even he, who is the Lord, has never had the honor of being invited by Shiguang into his bedroom to share a bottle of wine, but let Jia Yan, who is new to the country, get there first!
After the Yan Qing heard Lu Bu pinched flat a wine glass, but also angrily smashed the window, only as if he was venting his grievances, did not take it seriously, but firmly in recent days absolutely do not go to make fun of the determination, seize the time to discuss business with Li Su went.
However, even if he knew the truth about the reason why Lu Bu was furious, he could only smile expressionlessly and confess, "Wen He's a far better sleeper than the Lord."
Called Yan Qing is very pleased, Li Su to him this out of thin air and the Governor can be said to be extremely polite and respectful, to give the convenience of all to give, his views are also listened to, and accepted with an open mind.
Since I learned that he was able to escape from death this time, although on the surface it was Zhang Liao's timely rescue, but in the final analysis, it was the proposal of the military division Yan Chongguang.
Otherwise, if Niu Fu really succeeds, Lu Bu will lose face, not to mention his own life will not be saved.
Li Su's ability is just er, but quite a few points of insight, extremely aware of the situation. Even if there is no life-saving grace, Lu Bu's love for Yan Qing flow in words, he will only honestly hold this big red man, pulling together do not dare to do too obvious, but really afraid of half a flash.
See Li Su attitude is so good with, Yan Qing also return the favor, do not have to care about the place not to put more comments, pick up the important things to say, set the time and direction of departure tomorrow, to leave.
"Mr. Wait." Li Su, however, pleaded with him to stay a little longer, and then called a person over: "This person is the most valued person in Su's army, surnamed Qin Yi, if you do not give up, he will temporarily take the position of captain of the guards, and will be responsible for guarding the safety of Mr. Li."
Yan Qing instantly felt that the name was quite familiar, yet he couldn't remember what kind of character it was, so he couldn't help but look at the slightly agitated and agitated man a few more times, and smiled as he said, "May."
Qin Yi excitedly led the order to bow down, and Yan Qing, who had an extra little tail, casually walked out a few steps and asked as if unintentionally, "I wonder if Yi has an epithet?"
Qin Yi was stupefied for a while and replied in a very flattered manner, "Back to you, sir, my watchword is Yilu."
Yan Qing blinked, and if it weren't for the fact that he had enough stamina, he would have had to stand still right then and there, turning back to take a good look at it for a few more moments.
--It's Qin Yilu!
In fact, Qin Yilu himself is just an inconspicuous little man, the only two can be called highlights, is that he is a general of Lu Bu, two had been Yuan Shu appreciation, but also want to be Han family daughter of the promise.
The real reason Yan Qing remembers his name is that he's a pawn - a mediocre pawn with an extremely beautiful daughter-in-law, Du. In Xiapi city broke down in the instant, not only let the righteous Guan Yu look at the eye, many times take the initiative to open the mouth to Cao Cao to ask for, but because of too much heart urgency to let Cao Cao suspicion, see Du's face directly even after the love of talent can not even care about, a moment will be overrun, but also to the beauty of the concubine to bring a false son is quite good.
There is even a book that Lu Bu has also silver generals wives and daughters, the beauty of the amazing Du most likely would have been difficult to escape the poisonous hand, but that record is not available, and Yan Qing these days and Lu Bu get along with close, not only was invited to share the same bed a number of times, but also have not seen the shadow of his wife and concubines, the daytime is more in the barracks practicing, will be beyond the belief that that is just for the exaggerated Du's beauty of the nonsense.
What's more, at that time, although Lu Bu's character is not good, the military opportunity is still quite important, and accustomed to eating the national color of the sable cicadas such big fish and meat, on the Du's such porridge dishes, he is afraid that he will not be happy to eat.
But ...... now the sable cicadas are gone, or be careful for good, don t let Lu Bu easily see her, save not ruined in the history of the reputation in this reverse.
At this time the bearded Qin Yilu also do not know their own future should have a catastrophe, also tend to follow in just a serious gossip in the heart of him a pass behind the Yan Qing. Did not go far, Yan Qing accidentally in the school field near to see many days busy feet, no sign of Gao Shun.
Gao Shun saw him from afar, waved his hand, ran over, reached out to pat his shoulder, but snapped back, touched the back of his head instead and said, "Mr. Shiguang, how have you been?"
Yan Qing always had an excellent impression of him, smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with him, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "How many men and women are there in the trap camp under Fuyi's jurisdiction?"
