Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

Chapter 162

As the army was about to set off tomorrow, in order to ensure everything was safe, Lu Bu was entangled in some trivial matters in the barracks, so much so that he even had dinner there in a hurry.

When he finally finished his work, he rode back to the mansion, just passed the gate of the mansion, got off his horse, threw the red rabbit reins into his hand, and walked briskly towards the inner hall.

By chance, I ran into a handsome man wearing a Confucian long gown, who shyly called "Father" to Yan Qing, but Yan Qing was very helpful and delighted at the corresponding scene.

Lu Bu subconsciously stopped, and his sharp and critical gaze swept over mercilessly.

This handsome brat, who was barely a few pounds of meat when he picked it up, would fall down as soon as the wind blows, and he was full of the pretentious and reserved style of a wealthy family. He only had a face that could be seen a little... it was Chongguang who insisted on accepting him. Yoshiko?

"The lord is here?"

Long before he caught sight of the tall and burly figure out of the corner of his eye, Yan Qing heard the familiar and powerful footsteps.

Lu Xun, who was finally coaxed into being serious and abiding by etiquette, called him "Father", he was so comfortable that he wanted to touch the head of this terribly fresh baby son, but before he could reach out, he was caught by the meticulously combed, The hairstyle and clothing that seemed to have an awe-inspiring and profane aura aroused the faint guilt of taking advantage of the other party.

Lu Xun is new here, if he is too enthusiastic, it may backfire and scare him.

Thinking about this, Yan Qing naturally put his hand on Lu Xun's left shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, and my son has been exhausted again, why don't we go to rest early and talk about it tomorrow?"

Being treated so kindly by a famous person whom he has admired for a long time, and fulfilling that ethereal dream, becoming the adopted son of the other party, Rao is used to being calm and self-restraining, not surprised by favor or humiliation like Lu Xun, and he couldn't break free from the foggy state for a while.

"Thank you, Father, my son will leave first."

When Lu Xun finally noticed Lu Bu who was straddling the hall door with his arms folded expressionlessly, he quickly returned to his elegant appearance.

For Yan Qing's concern, he did not forget to bow his head respectfully, and saluted Lu Bu from a distance, and then went out very calmly.

If it wasn't for him unconsciously putting on a blushing face, Yan Qing might still be fooled.

Lu Bu watched Lu Xun leave without saying a word, then turned to Yan Qing and said, "This is the kid you fancy, he seems to be Lu Kang's grandson?"

Yan Qing said with a smile: "Lu Kang obeys his grandfather for my son's sake, my lord has a good memory."

Lu Bu said indifferently: "You are so young, you can put on a show."

Yan Qing knew very well that Lu Bu hated the leisurely, seemingly gentle and elegant literati demeanor of the children of the aristocratic family, especially when they used knives to poison their words, beat around the bush, and scolded people to death.

For the sake of the stability of the overall situation, no matter how difficult it is to refute, Lu Bu can't directly use violence to suppress it regardless of his self-cultivation.

Even though a group of counselors headed by Yan Qing escorted him, when Lu Bu had to deal with them, he still suffered a lot of clumsy tongue and secret losses. Gradually extinct.

Although they were both descended from prominent families, and both lost their parents in the early years, compared with Zhuge Liang who was so sharp and independent that Lu Bu caught his eye, Lu Xun did have more of the hidden front and introverted spirit of the famous family.

Apart from the difference in personal personality, Yan Qing felt that Xiao Kongming did this on purpose, because the talents of the Zhuge clan were withered and the family was in decline, and they could no longer provide shelter for their children and grandchildren.

"My lord, you're joking." Seeing that Lu Bu was obviously displeased with Lu Xun, Yan Qing just smiled and changed the subject calmly: "I know you have already had dinner in the barracks, but it's freezing outside, why don't you To guard against the wind and cold, it is better to drink a bowl of ginger soup."

Immediately, he took Lu Bu's hand which was icy cold from the wind and snow, patted it lightly a few times, and then slowly let go, walked side by side with him, and went back to the dormitory.

After getting along with this not-so-good-tempered lover for a long time, Yan Qing worked out a way to appease his irritable mood.One slap, two touches and three hugs, although simple, are effective enough to deal with Lu Bu.

Sure enough, enjoying this intimacy, Lu Bu instantly lost his mind to care about Lu Xun. He talked and laughed all the way, and when he returned to the bedroom, he had completely forgotten about that little boy Lu Xun.

Said that the bowl was placed on the desk, and after drinking the ginger soup at just the right temperature, Lu Bu cuddled Yan Qing with his arms around him for a while before he dawdled to wash up, finally put out the candles, and went to bed peacefully.

When I woke up, everything was ready for this trip but failed to take place.

It was just after four o'clock, and Xuzhou Biejia Mi Zhu, who was dressed in plain clothes and all his followers were mourning, knocked on the gate of Xu County, first went to the government office, and asked to see Lu Bu.

Only because Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou, died of a serious illness ten days ago.

Being disturbed in Qingmeng, Lu Bu was neither angry nor angry. He dispatched a fast horse to summon the staff in the city, washed and changed clothes in a hurry, and then took Yan Qing, the conspirator, and rode a red rabbit to the Yifu.

Although Tao Qian lived a few years longer than recorded in history, Yan Qing was still a little surprised.

A few days ago, he and Guo Jia had just left Tao Qian from Liu Bei to join Liu Biao, and they had speculated that Tao Qian was just pretending to be ill, but now they were slapped in the face.

If he guessed wrong, he wouldn't be surprised. After all, he knew his true level well, but Guo Jia could be wrong, so he felt incredible.

If Tao Qian had Cao Cao's ingenuity and ambition, Yan Qing might have suspected that he first pretended to be sick, then pretended to be dead and fled, or had other plans to relax their vigilance.

But that was Tao Gongzu, who had painstakingly managed Xuzhou for many years. Once he met Cao Cao's soldiers and horses who had only been entrenched in Yanzhou for a year, he was beaten to pieces and had no power to fight back.

For this reason, when Yan Qing saw that the mansion was not the closest to the government office, but was the first to arrive, Guo Jia arrived faster than Yan Qing and Lu Bu, he couldn't help but understand a little more, and exchanged a tacit understanding with him. Wink.

The counselors were quickly summoned, and they gathered in the hall with dignified faces. At this moment, someone rushed to invite Mi Zhu, who was waiting outside, to come in.

It was the first time for Yan Qing to see Liu Bei's eldest brother-in-law, a big local tyrant with countless gold and silver wealth, who was said to be invincible in wealth, and had tens of thousands of servants and diners.

Sure enough, as written in the book, with a graceful and elegant appearance, he is worthy of being a gentleman who can not look sideways at the side of a beautiful woman.

It's just because of extreme worry that it adds a strong haggard look.

Without waiting for him to speak, just looking at his expression was enough for Yan Qing to rule out the slightest possibility of Tao Qian fleeing to death.

If the acting skills can reach this point, I am afraid that Huang Gai, who has deceived Cao Cao's 80 troops, will have to bow down.

Lu Bu was sitting on the main seat expressionlessly, with such a dignified aura that Mi Zhu didn't dare to look directly at him for a while.

Yan Qing and Lu Bu got along day and night, and they only had a slight sense of the subtle changes, but they didn't really notice that the other party had quietly completed the transformation.

Lu Bu's appearance was originally mighty, with a tall and strong figure, which can be said to be superior to all heroes.He has also joined the army for many years, beheaded countless enemy generals, and has the indisputable spirit of the strongest warrior.

But the sharpness of drawing the sword and the undeserved courage of Wan Fu had already been possessed when Lv Bu was still serving under Dong Zhuo's command.

Having been in a high position for a long time and leading a powerful force alone, Lu Bu has settled down and condensed, full of an aura that is not angry but prestige.After Mi Zhu bowed to thank him and sat down, Fang asked in a deep voice, "I don't know why Mi Biejia came here?"

"Under the Lord's will, Zhu came here to send off the three things and the general, please don't hesitate to take a look."

Mi Zhu bowed his head again to pay tribute, and immediately took out Tao Qian's letter that he was carrying close to him, and then put something hidden in his sleeve on the desk, and his attendant took it with him, and presented it to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu only took a cursory look, raised his eyebrows, and asked the silent Mi Zhu, "Didn't Mi Biejia say that there were three things, but Bu only saw two."

Mi Zhu replied, "The general will know later."

Lu Bu didn't ask any further questions, and picked up the letter, but before he opened it, his attention was attracted by another thing, his heart was shocked, and he instinctively looked at Yan Qing.

He was facing Shang Yanqing's smiling face, which reassured him.

Although Yan Qing had never seen what the governor's talisman of Xuzhou looked like, he was very familiar with the seal and ribbon of the governor of Yuzhou held by Lu Bu, and the talisman of the governor of Yangzhou himself.

If it is like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the princes who claim credit for themselves and occupy the land as herdsmen, that's fine, but since Tao Qian is also appointed by the court and a legitimate governor, the certificates he holds are the same as theirs, so it seems logical up.

Mi Zhu came all the way here, and even wrote a letter to present this thing face-to-face, which is the seal of the governor of Xuzhou that Tao Qian has always held.

Even with Lu Bu's strength and military power, if he really wanted to occupy Xuzhou, it could be said to be within easy reach.But it is completely different to spend time to fight for annexation, and to hand over the family business after the other party dies of illness and not leave it to the heirs, but hand it over to the non-relative or non-relative neighbor.

Yan Qing understands this kind of reaction very well: it's like a rich man who is used to spending money to buy pies, and Hao Duan sitting at home, but being hit all over his head by the rain of pies.

Even Lu Bu, the biggest winner among the vassals, suddenly passively reaped such a rich bequest for nothing, and was taken aback.

Among the people present, Yan Qing, who knew what Tao Qian would do through the history books in advance, was undoubtedly the most calm and composed one.

Otherwise, who would have thought that Tao Qian, who was not so capable and not outstanding in all aspects, had been tortured by Cao Cao and had witnessed how turbulent Yangzhou was after Chen Wen's death. After killing the prey, when the life span is up, will he come out so decisively, and directly cut off the hearts of other princes who are about to move?

In Yan Qing's conjecture, Tao Qian's actions not only won him a posthumous reputation of being selfless and giving way to Xian, but also kept his family members safe and sound in this chaotic world where Haiyu was overthrown.

With the mediocre qualifications of his heirs, it is absolutely impossible to keep the fertile land of Xuzhou with Lu Bu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao around.That being the case, don't give up decisively, use this as a bargaining chip, and directly attach yourself to the powerful warlord. It just so happens that Lu Bu once favored him and saved him from Cao Cao's iron cavalry, so he can use this as repayment.

In particular, between Cao Cao and him, there was a vengeance against his father that he had no choice but to kill. Even if Cao Cao found out that he lost his ground, he would be the first evil wolf who would come to his door sooner or later to avenge his endless revenge.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei, who sent troops to rescue him and looked at extraordinary people with aptitude.

It's a pity that Uncle Liu Huang, who got rich overnight, failed to resist the attack of Cao Cao, Tao Qian's great enemy, with the full assistance of Mi Zhu, Chen Deng and others, or lost the family property he sent in haste.

If it were Lu Bu today, once he swallowed it, no one would be able to make him spit it out.

After Lu Bu and Yan Qing met their eyes for a moment, they moved away first, and their hearts were determined. They opened the letter silently, and were not in a hurry to open it. Instead, they raised their jaws slightly, looked at Mi Zhu and said, "If you dare to ask Mi to leave, Tao Xuzhou What is the meaning of this?"

The author has something to say:

*About Mi Zhu's deeds, Liu Xiahui is really calm.
