Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

In the next few days, Lu Bu honestly stayed in the study with Yan Qing, who was so inconvenient to move, tore up the papers one by one, and carefully corrected the test papers. up.

Fortunately, there were not many papers, and the comments from other graders were of great reference value. After wasting the first few days, they finally solved all these problems in one day and one night.

When the rankings were finished, Yan Qing couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, sealed them himself, handed them over to the guards to send them out, then looked at Lu Bu, who was sitting there dumbfounded like a puppet, wearing mosquito coils, and couldn't help laughing.

He walked over and patted Lu Bu's cheek affectionately: "It's solved, wake up."

Lu Bu looked at him blankly, and replied in disbelief, "It's over?"

Yan Qing nodded, and suggested earnestly: "If you feel that you are not satisfied and want to read the previous test papers..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu's expression froze for an instant, and he jumped up violently, as if he was afraid that Yan Qing would catch him and continue to review the papers, and went straight out the door without saying a word.

Liu Yanqing was in the study, admiring his fleeing back as if there was an evil spirit chasing after him, he let out a sigh of relief, and couldn't stop laughing.

And the list of the top three, which attracted the most attention of Shihlin, also began to come out after a long time, and finally appeared in front of everyone.

Yan Yi, the number one scholar.

Second place Pang Tong.

The method of exploring flowers is correct.

What Yan Qing secretly felt was that because only the answers to the first three questions could be entered, even if it was against the sky, he would eventually lose the share of the last question.

Zhuge Liang's ranking can only be wronged and fell to the top two.

After all, the drawing of Liannu is classified as a secret, and it is impossible to publish it together with other answers for students to browse and study at will.Moreover, Zhuge Liang's sword is slanted, because he has amazing talents, but he should not be encouraged, let alone set a precedent.It would be unimaginable if mediocre people followed suit, answering questions inappropriately, and only drawing some nonsensical pictures in order to make a blockbuster.

Let alone the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, how many Zhuge Liangs have emerged in the past 5000 years?

When looking for Zhuge Liang to talk about the development of Liannu in detail, Yan Qing confessed this point frankly, but Zhuge Liang didn't care. He only said that he had prepared for a long time, and hoped that this weapon would really come in handy.

Lu Bu was also a little impressed by his broad-mindedness. After careful consideration, he decided to take him to the army to practice more in advance.

Zhuge Liang readily agreed.

Although there are many talents in this scientific examination, without the strongest opponent, Lu Xun, he still fought steadily all the way, and stood out at once with his proud real talents.

The title of number one scholar is given to him, and it is indeed worthy of his name.

It would be foolish to have to lower Lu Xun's ranking just to avoid suspicion.

In ancient times, there were twelve visits by Gan Luo, and Lu Xun's achievements were dazzling but not too eye-catching. Yan Qing couldn't be more happy, holding Lu Xun's answer sheet over and over again, and after reading it several times, he almost recited those articles .

After being transcribed and prepared for publication, Yan Qing unceremoniously included all fifty answer sheets in his collection.

As for those who put emphasis on poems and poems, and write gorgeous sentences, although they have their foundation, they will not fail the list, but their rankings are not high.However, these people's spirits are the highest. As soon as the day of the announcement of the rankings is over, a few people hanging on their tails will be furious, dismiss them, and leave in a huff.

Yan Qing was too lazy to talk to them.

If the world is singing and dancing, the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, it’s okay to respect them, but in this troubled world, it’s either people’s livelihood, military affairs, or political strategy... They don’t even want to master a practical knowledge, and they don’t want to look at other people’s strengths. Refusing to ponder the thoughts of the superior, no matter how straight the waist is, no matter how beautiful the words are, it is of no use.

For those who write a beautiful essay, Chen Lin received from Yuan Shaona is enough.

That is, the ratings of Fa Zheng and Pang Tong are only in the middle, and whoever comes first is fine. Lu Bu is too lazy to worry about these things. With a swipe of his pen, he wanted to put Pang Tong in the position of Tanhua, but was caught by Yan Qing and turned around. .

Lu Bu couldn't understand Yan Qing's insistence that "Tanhua must be a handsome young man", but he still followed his wishes.

Except for some unavoidable discordant notes, whether it was the imperial horse parade or the Qionglin banquet, everything went very smoothly, and everyone was happy.

After the formal official approval, the event that had lasted for several months and caused a great sensation finally came to a successful conclusion.

Among them, Yan Qing, who worked the hardest, also benefited a lot, earning a lot of money in all aspects, and laying a solid foundation for the imperial examination.

While he was happy, he keenly noticed that Lu Xun, who was supposed to be the most beautiful, was actually not very happy.

After he shared this discovery with Guo Jia, Guo Jia lazily said: "It must be related to Mr. Liang."

Yan Qing suddenly realized: "Does he think Mr. Liang's ranking is a bit strange?"

Guo Jia nodded: "Although it was said to the outside world that he was careless after writing the pen and accidentally knocked over the inkstone, causing the ink to stain the surface of the scroll, and then invalidated the answer to the whole question, but how can this kind of rhetoric make Bo Forgive me?"

Yan Qing smiled and said: "From this point of view, it is an exaggeration to say that they have turned against each other."

From his own point of view, if he really hates a person, he should hope for the other person's bad luck, and wait for the opportunity to make trouble.

How can it be that when that person achieves a result that is not in line with the real level, not only does he not feel happy, but also feels resentful, feels that the other party has not done his best, and has regrets?

Guo Jia smiled slyly: "If you want to prove it, it's not easy? Aren't they all going to the army for training before being assigned a position? You can use your power to arrange them in one place, one master and one assistant. In time, it will become clear."

"Oh?" Yan Qing said sharply: "You can still take this opportunity to watch the fun, right?"

Guo Jiaxiao waved her fan casually, refusing to admit it: "No, no."

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Yan Qing straightened his face and said: "They are not ignorant people, even if they are not in harmony, it is only for a while. It is better to let nature take its course than to make things happen like you."

Guo Jia shrugged: "All right."

Before Yan Qing opened his mouth, Guo Jia asked impatiently gossip: "Then you have been quite estranged from the Lord recently, what's the matter?"

Yan Qing glanced at him speechlessly: "You are so idle, you even care about this?"

Guo Jia plausibly said: "I don't go back to my house very often on the day of the Lord's Day. I have no reason to stay in your mansion and talk with you at night by candlelight. Recently, it is uncharacteristic to stay in the barracks. Isn't it very strange?"

Of course, Yan Qing knew the reason why Lu Bu didn't return home at night.

Wasn't it just that he was afraid that he would go to the military camp to avoid the limelight because he was really forced to look through the mountain of exam papers from the previous few rounds in order to avenge his own personal revenge?

Even in front of a close friend who can talk about everything in other aspects, Yan Qing didn't want to share this private matter, so he coughed lightly and sighed: "What's so strange about this? To be honest, filial piety is due to this little fortune. Being ruthless, liking the new and disliking the old is the best. Back then, you ran from Yuzhou to Yangzhou just to find a husband for thousands of miles, and also to take care of the inside and outside of the house for me, making suggestions, no complaints or regrets."

"It turned out that after only a few years of work, I moved on and fell in love with someone else, and I was drunk in the gentleness. Even when I went to your bed a few days ago and wanted to have a long talk with you, I had to be disgusted by you."

After a few gags, he finally put the matter aside.

Yan Qing asked, "How is Zilong's injury?"

Guo Jia glanced at him meaningfully, and said with a smile, "It's interesting to say. It's clearly a serious injury for all to see, but Zilong was able to get out of bed the next day. He was so lively that even the doctors sighed inconceivably." And the most widely circulated saying is that Chongguang took pity on his loyalty that night and gave him immortal energy."

Yan Qing's face remained normal, ignoring his last ridicule: "It's so good, the attack on Jing cannot be done without a general named Zilong, since he has recovered, he can also be ordered to reorganize the army and make preparations for pulling out the camp as soon as possible."

Guo Jia said, "Don't wait for spring?"

"Didn't I already say that?" Yan Qing smiled and said, "I don't want to wait anymore."

For the first time in history, Lu Bushi mobilized troops and horses in the cold winter months, and the battle was not small, of course it could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the princes.

Thinking of the two major incidents that happened in Xucheng, they all thought that Lu Bu was completely enraged by Liu Yan's tricks in Yizhou, and they wanted to go to the west like Cao Aman did back then.

Comparing the strength of states and counties alone, Liu Yan in Yizhou is much worse than Lu Bu, but one side travels long distances and the distance is far away, while the other side waits for work at leisure, and supplies are convenient. The vicious tiger who is famous all over the world is afraid that he will suffer a big somersault under his arrogance.

Liu Biao only waited in strict battle for a while after being reminded by Kuai Liang and Han Song in the account at the very beginning, and later saw that Lu Bu was aggressive, but he didn't seem to be charging at the thorns at all. He only pointed the tip of his sword directly at Liangzhou, Yizhou, and let go , as always, held a banquet to entertain the guests who talked.

If Lu Bu really wanted to attack him, he could have planted Liu Bei's affairs on his head a few months ago, mixed with the treacherous ministers and killed them, so why politely let him go back to Jing?

After Liu Biao figured this out, he sent a letter pretending to ask Lu Bu if he wanted to take advantage of it.

Yan Qing expressed his gratitude heartily, but also refused directly.

Liu Biao was even more relieved, he no longer cared about the unfounded and worrying couple Kuai Liang who sighed all day long, and he didn't want to meet those two sad faces if a catastrophe was imminent. The handsome Cai family reunited, like sweet honey, and even accompanied her for a visit and kiss among the Hui clan.

Zhang Song of Yizhou saw through Lu Bu's real plot and told Liu Yan about it.

Although Liu Yan was half-believing and skeptical, he would rather believe in something than in nothing.

He is very clear about the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold: if Jingzhou falls, the success of the day will fail, and Yizhou, which has a bitter hatred with Lu Bu, will face the dangerous situation of facing the enemy head-on?

Immediately issued a letter of divorce and sent several messengers to tell Liu Biao not to take it lightly and be on guard.

It's a pity that the journey is far away, and before the messenger crossed the mountains and arrived in Jingzhou, the other party had encountered an accident.

After visiting his family with his beloved wife Cai, Liu Biao got out of the car to eat on the way home. Before he finished his meal, he ate a sudden arrow from Ma Zhong, who was waiting patiently in the bushes for a long time.

Hearing the bowstring vibrate, the powerful and mighty arrow pierced through the extremely fragile throat of the governor of Jingzhou with great speed before all the guards could react.

Cai Shi, who was closest to him, who was smiling and smiling, was first splashed with red hot blood all over his head and face, and then he was crushed on the sandy ground by the body that fell down suddenly. He screamed hoarsely and passed out completely. up.

Ma Zhong was sure that Liu Biao would surely die after this blow was successful, and regardless of their chaos, he quickly put away his crossbow arrows and fled along the pre-prepared route.

When the soldiers searched the area where he had been hiding before, and launched a mighty search, Ma Zhong had already written the return letter on the galloping horse, whistled to attract flying pigeons to bind the letter, and then concentrated on his journey up.

So when the lord was assassinated and killed, Jingzhou was in chaos. The Cai family took the opportunity to drive Liu Qi away from the state, put Liu Cong on the throne, and then mourned for Liu Biao.

They were so frightened that they couldn't help themselves, and now they finally thought of Kuai Liang, who seemed to have some foresight and had not been accepted by Liu Biao, but Kuai Liang sighed three times after Liu Biao died, and returned to Kuai's house without leaving. Accounts, this meeting also refused to see behind closed doors.

Even if Cai Mao wanted to intimidate and lure, he did not dare to do too much - the Kuai family was deeply rooted in Jingzhou and had a lot of prestige, not a weak family who would be bullied by them.

Kuai Liang only gave them four words: "The situation is over."

Cai Mao was so angry that he tore the note to pieces, but before he could lose his temper, the navy army led by Gan Ning under Lu Bu's command had already fought against Wenpin's soldiers and horses.

Huang Zu wanted to lead his troops to rescue the siege, but he was intercepted by the famous and fierce general Zhao Yun on the way. He was beaten to pieces and had no choice but to return to the city.

Those who were willing to obey Liu Cong's dispatch included Liu Biao's son Liu Pan who guarded You County in Changsha, and Liu Biao's nephew Zhang Yun who commanded another navy with Cai Mao. There are stars in my eyes.

Not only that, because Liu Biao, the former shepherd of Jingzhou, was partial to literati and inkmen, although they could not be called major generals short of soldiers, but compared with Lu Bu, the camp seemed very poor.

Relying on his strength like a cloud of mighty generals, Lu Bu extravagantly separated out ten groups of troops, marching from different directions, and attacking separately.

The counties and counties who were beaten off guard wanted to cry without tears. Some saw the disparity in strength and surrendered on the spot, while some resisted to the end and were bloodbathed.

Letters asking for help piled up on Liu Cong's desk like snowflakes. The new owner of Jingzhou never expected that he would end up with such an unsolvable problem as soon as he took over, so he had to turn to Cai Mao for help.

Cai Mao is also in a state of desperation, what can he do?

No matter how stupid they are, at this moment they can see that Lu Buda's military arrangements at the beginning were all for Jingzhou.But it doesn't help to scold him for being cunning and insidious.

The end of the stubborn resistance is also clearly in front of us-once the city is broken, the civilians will be fine, but the soldiers will be massacred to make an example.

At this moment, Cai Mao suddenly heard someone report that it was his sister Cai who asked to see him.

Let's say that Mrs. Cai was so frightened that day that she was in a trance, and Jing Min scolded Liu Biao's death as the result of the hen sitting in the morning, so she kept her house closed.Now that he has recovered a bit, he heard the bad news again, and after thinking about it, he came to see his brother.

Cai said sadly: "The strength and weakness of the world have long been determined. Now that Cong'er's position is not stable, foreign aggression will kill him. Lu Bu is such a hero, and fortunately he is assisted by talented people with extraordinary wisdom. It is just like a tiger with wings added. Thinking that he single-handedly could resist thousands of troops outside the Hulao Pass; when he drew his halberd in anger, Dong Zhuo's blood would be spattered three feet; , respectively, were defeated; Cao Cao, who had been in glory for a while, was also forced to have nowhere to go, so he had to bow his head and surrender; Tao Qian of Xuzhou, in order to keep his family safe, even gave the state as a gift!"

"Don't say that Cong'er is still young, and even if her husband is still there, she is definitely not his opponent. Lu Bing has planned for a long time and came prepared. This time the momentum is like a rainbow, so tyrannical, and it depends on the righteousness of the court. If you refuse The name does not go well. He will kill and attack decisively, and those who surrender and those who resist are in a very different situation. In this way, Jingxiang soldiers and people are already afraid before fighting, how can they win?"

Even the women are aware of the crisis, but Cai Mao is not aware of it.He was silent for a moment, then asked: "Then according to my sister, what can I do?"

Cai cried and said: "If you fight, you will definitely lose. If you want to retreat, you have nowhere to go. The only way to go now is to dedicate the nine counties of Jingxiang to the Lu thief, and let him get his wish. Only then can we exchange for Antai in Jingzhou!"

Cai Mao had this idea a long time ago: "I think so too. It's just that Cong'er definitely doesn't want to."

It's not all because of greed for power, but as a son of man, how could he be willing to hand over his father's hard work and foundation to others?

But Cai said: "I have my own way to persuade him. You should quickly order someone to write a letter of surrender, and then Cong'er will seal it and send someone to offer it."

Although it took a lot of effort to persuade Liu Cong, Cai finally achieved his goal.

When the letter of surrender was sent to Lv Bu, Lv Bu was annoyed by the serious arrow wound in the general Zhang Liao, and wanted to kill the rather troublesome Youcheng.

When Yan Qing came to visit Zhang Liao in a hurry, Zhang Liao felt so ashamed, almost ashamed, sobbing, "Chongguang once reminded me that it is only because Liao underestimated the enemy and was shot by that ordinary veteran, so that he dragged the whole world down." Army, it is true that death is inevitable, and I am willing to be dealt with by military law."

In fact, Zhang Liao didn't really take Yan Qing's words to heart at all, but as the main general, in order to boost morale, he often imitated Lu Bu, took the lead, rushed to the front, and became the target of everyone.

It's just that there are soldiers fighting for cover, ordinary arrows are poorly aimed, and their strength is mediocre, they can't penetrate his armor at all, and very few threats can be shot down by him in time.

But the old general in the city was extremely fierce.

As soon as he saw the figure of that person, he immediately thought of Yan Qing's words, and became vigilant, but it was too late, he had no time to retreat, and as the bow was tightened, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

His reaction could not be described as unpleasant, but he couldn't avoid it at all, and was firmly hit by the arrow that pierced his chest and back.

Because the main general fell off his horse on the spot, he was seriously injured and unable to move, the morale of the enemy was greatly shaken, and the old general took advantage of the situation to fight back. Not only was the deputy general Pan Zhang killed by the old general while desperately covering his evacuation, but also made the always invincible Lu Bu The army suffered a disastrous defeat for the first time.

Regarding Zhang Liao's plea, Yan Qing smiled noncommittally, and waved his hands to screen out the others in the tent, even the people from the healing camp who had just bandaged him up were no exception.

"What should I say about you." Yan Qing said slowly, he was helpless to this old friend who was in a near-death state and made him burn with the "Peach" card in his sleeve, but only cared about asking for sin: "Did you lose too much blood, so you lost your head? One victory and one defeat is a common thing in military affairs. Although Liu Biao's subordinates are mostly idiots, they are not really incompetent. It is understandable to lose in the face of such a strong enemy, my lord." Are you an unreasonable person, how can you blame it?"

As soon as the words fell, Yan Qing took out a huge peach with a slight smile, and stuffed it into the mouth of Zhang Liao, who just wanted to continue pleading, just like Zhao Yun did that time, and joked: "Take a breath of immortal energy for you, remember to keep it secret." In the future, you should also cherish your life, don't imitate the lord and always rush to the front, otherwise you won't know if you will be so lucky next time."

Saved Zhang Liao's life, but the dead general Pan Zhang and those elite soldiers, Yan Qing was helpless.

When he returned to the main tent, he saw Lu Bu's face was serious, and asked, "What do you think, my lord?"

Lu Bu's answer was beyond his expectations: "These bastards are used to going smoothly, so it's good to suffer a little bit."

Yan Qing smiled: "I thought that if the lord wants to go to battle in person to get back the place for the general, he must bloodbath the city."

Lu Bu stretched out his arms to hug Yan Qing, and said with a snort, "It's just to bluff people, why is Bu so impulsive?"

Yan Qing said: "Although Huang Zhong is old, his arrow skills are superb, and his bravery is extraordinary, Wen Yuan's defeat this time is not a disadvantage."

Lu Bu said with interest: "How is it compared to Ziyi?"

Yan Qing thought for a while and said, "Ziyi may not be his opponent either."

"From what you say, he must be one of the rare generals." Lu Bu joked, "It's a pity that it fell into the hands of your big cousin. He is destined to be buried."

Yan Qing narrowed his eyes, and asked in a dangerously drawn out voice: "What did Feng Xiao tell you? What other nonsense did you ask him?"

He remembered very clearly that he only made a slip of the tongue once in front of Guo Jia, and accidentally brought out Liu Biao's nickname for later generations, and he never made a similar mistake after that.

However, he forgot that when Guo Jia was tempted by wine and beauties, and was coerced by the power of his master and ministers, he had no sense of loyalty and integrity at all.

Lu Bu didn't notice for a moment that he slipped his tongue, hummed and groaned for a long time, and tried to talk about him to no avail. Finally, he clapped his hands suddenly and took out the letter that had been completely forgotten just now from his arms.

Yan Qing glanced at him coolly, let him go for now, then took a look at it, and immediately felt happy, but she was willing to let him change the topic in such a clumsy way.

Didn't the letter sent to Lu Bu by the envoy from Youzhou contain the surrender form written by Gongsun Zan himself?

Gongsun Zan was straightforward, and Lu Bu reciprocated, not only to preserve his reputation, but also valued his ability to lead troops to fight, and appointed an additional General Zhenbei.
