Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

No matter how hard the tortoise shell is, it will be broken one day, not to mention that this is Yi Jingcheng, who is bedridden due to the injury of the coach and can only defend passively.

When the tall and majestic city wall collapsed, Gongsun Yue gave an order to let all the soldiers retreat into the trench, leaving no one behind.

Looking at the densely packed dozens of trenches that had been dug extremely deep, even Lu Bu, who was well-informed and psychologically prepared, felt very headache.

Yan Qing was not particularly anxious, after all, he had just received a letter from Jia Xu yesterday, and his superiors assured that although more than half of the stock of food and grass had been consumed due to the intensive fighting in the past few days, no matter how bad it was, the reserves for this winter could still be made up of.

Xun You, who often exchanged letters with his uncle Xun Yu, who knows a lot about this aspect, expressed doubts about this vow: "It's only used for more than half? I'm afraid it's far more than that."

If it is not clear that Jia Xu is cautious by nature, it is impossible to exaggerate the truth, and his words would not be so euphemistic and polite.

Yan Qing smiled: "According to Wenhe's calculation, the confiscation of the enemy's grain depot must also be included."

In the eyes of poisoners, it is obviously a very reasonable thing to support war with war - because Zhao Yun got his prior instructions, he went to Bingzhou and returned.

He also picked people to rob those wealthy households with big families and businesses. If he could not hurt people's lives, he would only take away money, food and grass.

As for those sallow and emaciated people affected by the disaster, they were pleasantly surprised to receive some piecemeal relief.

Because of this favor, they are very grateful to this Yan Qing army who came and went in a hurry, but in their eyes, it was "no crime in autumn, saving the suffering and the disaster".

There is another point that Yan Qing didn't say: what Jia Xu didn't say clearly may have another meaning.

That is to suggest that he should not be too generous, and spread food wantonly after occupying Youzhou.

Unless Yan Qing is willing to 'borrow five grains from the sky' to make up for this shortfall, then he has no right to know.

"How's the tunnel going?"

Yan Qing asked again.

It was originally agreed that it would only take a few more days to complete the project. Unexpectedly, it rained heavily the day before yesterday, causing the ground to become soft, and the shallowest section collapsed.

It is not easy to clean up.

Guo Jia simply replied, "It's too late."

Yan Qing sighed.

Human beings are still no match for God's will.

After thinking about it, he still had to admit that this was a predicament that even cards couldn't help him, so he had to admit it honestly.

It's just a pity for the manpower and material resources that have been spent in the past few months.

Xun You comforted him and said: "With General Lu's bravery, even if there is one less surprise soldier, and the strategy of coordinating internally and externally, he can still be captured within half a month."

If it was Yan Qing himself who was praised, he often felt a little guilty and had to be humble, but it was Lu Bu who was praised by Xun You, so he couldn't help smiling, and proudly said: "Gongda's words are very true."

The corner of Guo Jia's mouth twitched, and he quickly changed the subject: "My lord, why did you get so angry yesterday that you killed the messenger?"

Xun You was also a little curious, and looked at Yan Qing quietly.

Yan Qing smiled slightly, and wrote lightly: "He dared to slander the virtuous, with sinister intentions, and his crime should be punished."

Guo Jia felt blessed at this moment, and said with a slight smile, "The one who was criticized by him must be Wen Ruo."

Yan Qing nodded.

Even though Jia Xu was meticulous, insightful, and at the moment when he was in charge of logistics being overwhelmed by the war on multiple sides, it was impossible for him to manage the civil service team that was constantly recruiting new talents like a monolith.

Among them, it is inevitable to mix in details from all over the state, ordered by various masters, and waiting for the opportunity to move.

When Yan Qing heard Peng Yi's name at first, he only felt a little impressed. He probably knew that he was a person who had been recorded in history, so he was a little more defensive.

When this burly young man with haughty brows and eyes opened his mouth, revealing a slight Yidi accent, his increasingly blurred memory was completely awakened.

Yan Qing had suspicions, but remained calm, and with a few words, he elicited the real purpose of this immature young man——the other party knelt down with a plop, and made a generous statement to him, saying that Xun Yu can't be the lord who cares about him every day, he has already defected to the enemy, and he is familiar with Yuan Shu!Otherwise, how could Chen Qun and others take Yanzhou so smoothly?Obviously with his acquiescence!

Yan Qing waited for him to finish with a smile, then slammed the cup on the ground, not even bothering to say a word of nonsense, ordered Dian Wei to gag him, drag him out and chop him up.

Peng Yi was taken aback for a moment by the way the lord who was still amiable just now turned his face like a book, and failed to beg for mercy in time, so he was rudely dragged out of the tent by Dian Wei, his hand raised his halberd, and his head rolled to the ground up.

Because Yan Qing has always been unbelievably tolerant in front of everyone, no one had any doubts in their hearts after seeing this scene, and they only firmly believed that it was Peng Yi's fault, which drove the most gentle protagonist out of his anger.

Without waiting for Dian Wei's order, someone spontaneously threw the warm corpse out of the camp, watching it feed the wandering wolves with disgust.

The blind trust of others made Yan Qing a little bit dumbfounded - he was planning to make an example of others, to put up a prestige in front of those ready to move Xiao Xiao, and told them to weigh more when instigating the relationship between the principal and ministers, and he didn't want to face this all-in-one' The bastard deserves it' look.

Now that Guo Jia took the initiative to ask, he expressed his thoughts frankly: "Although Wen Ruo seldom stays by my side, he has a close relationship with me. Only with my expedition can I feel at ease, and Yanzhou is prosperous today. Such friendship and trust, how can ordinary gossip can be intertwined? Now he is trapped by the enemy, and I have not been able to rescue him for so long. The guilt is not enough, not to mention his consistency It is absolutely impossible for him to voluntarily abandon me, even if he has no choice but to do it, it is not unreasonable to me--Is it because I can't protect the safety of my confidant, and I know Chen Qun, Sima Lang and other jackals that day? Clear, but have to lose to him first!"

A little anger appeared in Yan Qing's eyes, and he suppressed it forcibly, and said coldly: "He not only insulted Wen Ruo's character, but also belittled my vision of people, and he wanted to kill Wen Ruo , and want to tire me to get the notoriety of cruelty and goodness, playing tricks like four birds with one stone in front of me, isn't he worthy of death? Only this Liu Yan is far away in Yizhou, and his thoughts are extremely beautiful!"

It is rare for Yan Qing to break down such a long and severe conversation, and the tent was instantly so quiet that a needle could be heard.

When Yan Qing calmed down the anger that was brought up in his chest, when he looked at the silent two, he was shocked instead.

Guo Jia stopped shaking the fan unknowingly, and was tilting his head, frowning at Xun You indistinctly, not daring to show his breath, showing a bit of bewilderment and bewilderment on his face.

But let alone him, when Lian Yanqing suddenly saw that Xun You's face remained unchanged, but the crystal clear teardrops were falling down like a chain with a broken thread...

I also felt a little dark in front of my eyes.

"Gongda," fortunately, Yan Qing remembered that this was the second time this had happened to Xun You, so he suppressed the twitching of the corners of his mouth, subconsciously took the handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped Xun You's face off in a panic. Moisture on the forehead, and at the same time asked in a gentle voice: "Why is this?"

Yan Qing clearly saw that Xun You's ears were slightly red, but his face was still expressionless, and he said concisely: "Suddenly felt something, Fang lost his composure, and made my lord laugh."

"Well."

Yan Qing responded dryly, and naturally did not ask in detail, but moved very slowly, almost cautiously, and stepped back.

Xun You was also quick to mediate his emotions, and stopped the tears that had just flowed down just now. Except for the slightly red eyes and nose, and the wet towel, it was impossible to tell that he was the one who was crying like rain just now.

Yan Qing kept staring at him closely, and couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, and quickly changed the subject: "To be honest, they are willing to go to great lengths to sow discord, which just proves that Wen Ruo is innocent. If one day they really open up, Threaten Wen Ruo's life to force me to retreat, I really don't know what to do."

The people under Yuan Shu's command obviously knew that Xun Yu was a rare talent in the world, so they showed unprecedented tolerance towards him, and never gave up on accepting him.

Xun Yu is not a person who is so strong that he is almost pedantic. Unless he has to, he will not do anything to break the jade, so he just ignores them, ignores them, and lets them waste their efforts.

As far as Yan Qing is concerned, although the practice of exchanging prisoners or redeeming them is not uncommon, it must not be used on Xun Yu - even the idea of ​​private rescue was suppressed.

He would also be afraid—once he let the other party know how much he cares about Xun Yu, it might make Xun Yu the second hostage like Liu Kang who was exchanged for harsh conditions, and he might even ignore his talents and directly Kill him painfully, just to break his arm.

It's just that after Yan Qing expressed this worry that had been in his heart for a long time for the first time, he thought that he could get a few words of advice, but he didn't want the two masterminds to coincidentally flash full of astonishment in their eyes, and immediately couldn't help laughing Voice.

Yan Qing was suspicious: "...what's so funny about this?"

Seeing his bewilderment, Guo Jia managed to hold back a smile for a while, and shook his head to explain his confusion: "In history, there are only many precedents in which foreign enemies coerce the lord to threaten the subordinates. How can the minister threaten the lord?"

Because everyone knows that even if the monarch who values ​​his ministers the most is captured, the other party will not be able to give up the country he has just because he loves his ministers as a hostage.

—Even if it’s just an inch of land.

However, after the subject was unfortunately captured, in order to show his loyalty, he would rather die than surrender, and then he could exchange a few heartfelt sad eulogies for the lord, and leave his name in Qingshi, so this life is not in vain.

Yan Qing squinted his eyes, seeing his exaggerated actions, he was about to burst into tears from laughter, and said slowly after a while: "It's really a blessing. If they really use either of you as a hostage to force me to give up a state, I will It will definitely be carefully considered.”

As soon as he said this, because he could hear his serious tone, the two who had been laughing a lot just now couldn't laugh anymore.

Xun You frowned, and Guo Jia said frankly, "If that day really comes, Jia can only commit suicide, so he might as well take the initiative to—"

Yan Qing shot unceremoniously, pinched his left cheek vigorously, and when the pain stopped, he said coldly: "It's a pity that you still claim to be the protector of the sect, but you don't even have any supernatural powers from the sect leader. I know, that's why I said those stupid things. Take ten thousand steps back, even if I really let it go, wouldn't I be able to get it back?"

Guo Jia: "..."
