Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

When Yan Qing gave Lu Bu an order to rectify the troops, prepare to send troops, and went to the barracks to boost morale, Guo Jia was not idle.

Although Xun Yu is also good at guessing people's hearts and acting on personal weaknesses, Guo Jia has to be extremely cautious when it comes to the court.

After thinking about it, he immediately approached Jia Xu, who was the most cunning and cunning in this area, and let Xun Yu continue to be in charge of coordinating the rear and ensuring logistics.

When Guo Jia and the two big foxes got together in the old place, they took turns to fight, which easily overwhelmed the still very young Zhong Hui, and quickly lost the battle in the negotiation.

So much so that in exchange for only a few benefits, he honestly handed over the jade seal he brought.

As soon as Yan Qing came back from the barracks, he got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo carefully wrapped in silk from Guo Jia who had been waiting at his house for a long time, and he couldn't help patting his forehead: "You remember, I forgot Let me explain to you."

Guo Jia snorted, and said proudly: "If the lord has to remind me of such details, then what's the use of me waiting?"

Yan Qing is only embarrassed to say that Lu Bu needs to be reminded of his careless temper that often forgets things.

He untied the blue silk, and revealed a four-inch-square seal with light green body and five dragons in Shanghai New York. On the front, there were eight seal characters said to be written by Prime Minister Li Si himself: "Ordered by heaven, long life and eternal prosperity". .

Yan Qing smiled, picked it up and examined it carefully for a moment.

The biggest shortcoming of this exquisite treasure is undoubtedly the corner that was smashed by the Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan, especially at this time, the gold nugget used for inpainting is already somewhat dim.

Regardless of whether this is the piece that has been handed down since the pre-Qin period, or the imitation that was secretly cast by craftsmen Liu Xiuzhu in the later period, it is not difficult for Yan Qing to recognize it. This is definitely the piece he saw in the back well of the Luoyang Palace. The one that passed.

As for whether it is true or false, there is no need to study it carefully.

——As long as it is in his hands, even if it is fake, it can also make it come true.

Yan Qing has seen many imitations in some exhibition halls of later generations, especially the emperor's jade seals made by later dynasties, which are mostly decorated with precious stones, and are even much more luxurious than this.

He thought that holding it would keep him as calm as ever, but he didn't want his mood to fluctuate.

He silently stroked the smooth and cold Runyu several times before gradually calming down.

Guo Jia saw that Yan Qing, who had always been extremely calm about the gains and losses of Yuxi, was also slightly fascinated by it, and the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly raised, knowingly asked: "How?"

Yan Qing came back to his senses, he weighed it up jokingly, rewrapped it, put it in his sleeve, and said nonsense: "Just looking at the quantity, it doesn't look like a counterfeit. If the financial cycle is not working well one day, it will be short-lived." When the soldiers are short of food, they can still use it as a lot of money and food."

"My lord, you can rest assured," Guo Jia unceremoniously rolled his eyes: "If you even dare to bring a fake jade seal, Zhong Yao is not here to show favor, but to make revenge! If the lord really wants to be one day Please come to Xunjia to be the buyer of this rare treasure, so that it will be cheaper for outsiders to feast their eyes on."

Yan Qing couldn't bear it any longer, and laughed out loud.

Guo Jia said with a straight face, "My lord, apart from Mrs. Lu, who else are you going to take this time?"

It took Yan Qing a while to stop laughing, and replied: "You, Ziyi, Bo Yue, are enough."

"Boyue?" Guo Jia first heard the name, but couldn't remember who it was for a while, and asked after thinking about it for a while: "Is it your new writer?"

Yan Qing nodded, and praised Jiang Wei without hesitation: "He has excellent aptitude, steady and careful temperament, not only can he be qualified for the job of a clerical officer, but also go to the battlefield to train and practice, and he will become more versatile in the future."

Guo Jia was already used to his lord's behavior of digging cabbage everywhere, so he just nodded and changed the subject: "The troops stationed in Luoyang are at most no more than [-], and because of Huangfusong's death, the leading general came up There are no successors, and the lord's fight is not a strong attack, so I'm afraid we don't need to send too many people."

Yan Qing said without hesitation: "To take Luoyang alone, of course only one-third of the soldiers and horses are enough. But the purpose of this trip is not just that."

Guo Jia was slightly taken aback.

Yan Qing smiled easily, and said confidently: "Although I am old, I have not forgotten that when I traveled thousands of miles west and devoted myself to saving him, I was hindered by those people from Liangzhou."

"This account that stands in the way, and the account that has been making waves and doing reckless acts to harm the common people all these years, relying on the imperial court as a buffer between us, should be liquidated, including the principal and interest. right?"

Even though Han Sui and Ma Teng, who were the chief culprits, had died in recent years, the son who succeeded them was just like his father.

Guo Jia also couldn't help laughing: "It's really time to forget it. Anyway, if you go along the way, should you also clean up the good thieves?"

Yan Qing took it seriously and said: "At that time, we can enter Hanzhong from the North Road, and let Fa Xiaozhi, who is familiar with the road, join the army on the east side, and lead 5 people with Xu Rong. How long will it take for the craftsmen to gather and complete the work on the piece of land enclosed by the late emperor for the construction of the mausoleum in the palace?"

Guo Jia replied: "It was all assembled the day before yesterday, and work started yesterday morning. It will take three months at the earliest."

"Forget it, but it's just a matter of concern." Yan Qing sighed and said, "Until the completion of the imperial mausoleum, the inner and outer coffins will continue to be stored in the ice cellar."

Guo Jia nodded to mark it down.

Yan Qing chatted with him for a while, and suddenly remembered that it was getting late, so he said: "Anyway, we will go out at noon tomorrow, why don't you just rest here with me?"

"My lord invites me, Jiazi is respectful and obedient."

Guo Jia readily complied, and immediately called the maidservant outside without seeing anyone, took her clean clothes, and went to the hot soup pool that Yan Qing sent someone to introduce not long ago.

Yan Qing looked at his back amusedly, shook his head, and was about to go back to the study to tell Jiang Wei, who was still sorting out the old files, to pack the army's luggage when he saw a golden light crashing into his arms.

It is the wooden cow and the horse.

After it slowly spit out the new letter, Yan Qing casually opened the folded note while walking towards the study.

After seeing the simple report written by Zhuge Liang, Yan Qing couldn't help being stunned.

——Due to chronic headaches, Cao Cao died in Bohai an hour ago at the age of 76, and his successor was the eldest son Cao Ang.

Obviously, without the shocking change in Wancheng full of beauty and intrigue, even if Mrs. Bian, who was born as a kabuki, still gave birth to many talented heirs, she could not shake the position of the eldest son Cao Ang.

Yan Qing silently refolded the paper and took a deep breath.

In this world, he, who was only one step away from aspiring to the top of the world, and the peerless hero who had never been able to completely relax his vigilance, had already passed away with a poem full of regret that his ambition was hard to pay off.

As for Liu Guanzhang and the other three, after taking over Ding Yuan's position as governor of Bingzhou, they have been busy fighting against the Rong people in the north and the various forces in Pingping territory.

Out of respect for their achievements in history, Yan Qing was unwilling to take the initiative to start a war unless he had to. He had always treated them politely, and the two sides lived in peace.

Now that Yan Qing openly declares war on the imperial court, the balance will naturally be broken.

On the other side of Cao Ang, Yan Qing was not worried - after the other party succeeded to the throne, not only would he have to take over his father's old department, but he would also have to restrain the brothers who were dragons and phoenixes among the people. If there is a real fight, it is destined to be a protracted war.

On the contrary, he has always attached great importance to the word "Uncle Emperor" bestowed by the emperor, and Liu Bei's actions, which he called himself after King Jing of Zhongshan, must be fully taken into account.

The Bingzhou army has been fighting against the remnants of the Southern Huns all year round. Although the equipment is not as sophisticated as the Henan army, it is still a well-trained elite soldier, and each one is worth ten.

Although Zhang Fei retired due to old injuries, Guan Yu, who was hailed as the god of war by later generations, is still young and active, which makes this trilogy not to be underestimated.

This is also one of the reasons why Yan Qing insisted on taking 15 troops with him, not afraid of being said to be "making a big deal out of a molehill".

The courtiers far away in Luoyang, although they knew that King Yu must have planted a lot of eyeliners in the city, they did not expect the existence of such an immortal artifact as the wooden cow and horse that could spread a message across thousands of miles in an instant.

After discovering that the jade seal was stolen, they were really panicked. After a hasty investigation, they found that the faction headed by Zun Zhongyou was the most suspicious.

Yang Xiu made a decisive decision, and in the name of the emperor, Zhong Yao was detained, and then forced into the mansion to search.

After turning the Bell Mansion upside down, although Liu Kang's coffin and Yuxi were not found, it still made Yang Xiu completely turn his previous speculation into conviction.

They didn't see any trace of 'Zhong Hui who claimed to be sick and had to stay in the mansion for a long time to recuperate'!

In a fit of rage, Yang Xiu put all of Zhong Yao's clan members who had stayed in Beijing under house arrest. Zhong Yuzi, the eldest son of Zhong Yao, was also arrested and imprisoned.

Zhong Yao refused to say anything, so Yang Xiu had to send someone to try to punish him, trying to find out the whereabouts of Yuxi.

What he didn't expect was that even though he was just trying, Zhong Yao was old and weak. He suffered from the cold in the cold cell, and he was humiliated and out of breath, so he died.

Zhong Yuyuan was also somewhat resentful of his father's behavior of hiding the truth from himself, favoring his younger brother Zhong Hui, and causing the whole clan to suffer. After his father died as a result of being tortured, he was immediately aroused to be a filial son. Say a few words.

After Yang Xiu got the news, he knew that the big thing was not good—even if the insider knew that Zhong Yao had indeed committed a heinous crime, but he caught the other party and temporarily changed his words to say that Zhong Hui would be sent back to his hometown to recuperate instead of staying in the mansion. Apart from Huatou, there is no conclusive evidence.

On the contrary, he imprisoned the elders of the four dynasties and caused people to die in prison, which will soon be known by everyone.

Just when Yang Xiu was at a loss, wondering if he should release Zhong Yu first, so as to appease the wrath of Zhong Yao's faction——

The [-] cavalry archers belonging to the vanguard of the Henan Army have already approached the city.
