The first one was to go to Taishan Army to fight against the Yellow Turbans, but Lu Bu refused directly.

He had had enough of fighting bandits and bandits. There was no challenge. If it weren't for the problem of eating, he would not be willing to use Bingzhou cavalry to deal with these unarmored civilian soldiers.

As for the second article, surrender to the King of Bohai and join Liu Qing as the governor of the state.

Lu Bu fell into deep thought.

When he was fighting against foreign tribes, he had an encounter with Liu Qing. At that time, Liu Qing was the governor of Yanmen. He had just destroyed the southern Xiongnu army and was very proud of himself. Compared with Ding Yuan's Bingzhou army, which had just lost Bingzhou.

Obviously, Lu Bu didn't think much about it at the beginning, but he didn't expect that after just a year, he would be made king and worshiped as pastor.

"Mr. Gongtai, do you know the King of Bohai?" Lu Bu asked rhetorically.

Chen Gong shook his head and said: "But I heard that he recruited talents and had many capable ministers and generals under his command, such as Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo, Xun Chen, Xun Youruo, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, and Dong Zhao and Dong Gongren of Yanzhou.

, as well as Gao Shun and Gao Xiaofu of the Chenliu Gao family, they are all famous people."

Listening to Chen Gong's list of names, Lu Bu was not familiar with them and had never even heard of them. However, if they could be remembered by Chen Gong, they were certainly capable, and if they were able to join the Bohai King, they would still be even more outstanding.

.

Just when Chen Gong and Lu Bu were planning their next plan, Jiang Qi's remaining troops were defeated and returned to Baima.

When Yuan Shao heard the news, his face suddenly darkened.

"The thief Xu Rong has fallen into the trap again!" Yuan Shao said angrily.

Feng Ji was silent on the side. He had always advocated Mo Yan's pursuit, but Yuan Shao adopted Guo Tu's strategy. He also knew that Yuan Shao was thoughtful, so he chose to remain silent.

After hearing the disastrous outcome, Guo Tu still stepped forward and asked the two of them, "Where are the two generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou?"

Jiang Qidao: "The two armies searched westward and have not returned yet."

"In other words, you divided your forces to pursue?"

Jiang Qi nodded honestly, not knowing that a disaster was waiting for him.

Guo Tu returned to Yuan Shao and said: "My lord, this is not a mistake in my lord's pursuit, but a failure in the battle! My subordinates knew that Xu Rong was good at fighting, so they sent four generals to pursue him. Unexpectedly, they made their own decisions and divided their troops to pursue him.

Bad Lord!"

When Jiang Qi heard this, he immediately defended himself: "Lord, there are traces of the passing of a large army on all the side roads, so we divided our forces to pursue them!"

Guo Tu added: "Xu Rongcang fled in panic. How could he travel far without any luggage? Naturally, he went south to join Fan Chou. Such a simple truth, how could you, as a general, not be able to tell the difference!"

Chunyu Qiong, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head and glanced at Guo Tu.

You should have known why you didn't just order Nan to chase!

Yuan Shao frowned and glared, then continued what Guo Tu said: "This defeat is clearly the result of you underestimating the enemy and dividing your troops. If Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Yan Liang were accompanying us, how could we have suffered such a disastrous defeat! Remove these two from their military posts, reduce them to soldiers, and take them down!"

When Feng Ji heard this, he just wanted to speak out for Jiang Qi, but then he looked at Guo Tu and closed his mouth helplessly.

This punishment was really too severe. On the other hand, the heavier the punishment, the more it seemed that Yuan Shao actually knew that this was his own problem. Feng Ji shook his head helplessly and began to think about the next steps.

After Xu Rong defeated Chunyu Qiong and joined forces with Fan Chou, the situation on Ding Yuan's side was already in danger. If something happened to Ding Yuan, what would be the use of occupying the white horse?

After thinking for a while, Feng Ji finally spoke: "Your Majesty, Jiang Qi has failed. Xu Rong and Fan Chou have joined forces. If they take advantage of the situation and defeat Ding Yuan, the consequences will be unpredictable. Please make preparations in advance, my lord."

Feng Ji thought about it, but still kept it secret and did not tell the plan directly. If Yuan Shao changed it again and was defeated again, he could not afford the crime.

He knew that the next time he was defeated, Yuan Shao would definitely lose Dongjun in a short time. He could not afford this consequence.

After hearing Feng Ji's words, Yuan Shao seemed to recall what this aide had said before. He believed that Xu Rong was retreating on his own initiative and would have to make a move and should not pursue.

The result really came true!

So Yuan Shao changed his expression and asked Feng Jidu: ​​"Does Yuan Tu have a strategy?"

Feng Ji thought for a while and said, "We should send troops to meet Ding Yuan."

As for who to send, Fengji said he didn't know.

"Summon Yan Liangwen Chou back to Baima quickly!" Yuan Shao ordered.

Feng Ji thought: It seems that it is these two favorite generals again. In this way, the risk of giving advice is reduced, because Yuan Shao really likes them.

…

The journey was full of hardships, and Liu Qing returned to Wei County as quickly as possible. The army stayed outside the city, and Liu Qing and others quietly returned to the city.

"Mistress, mistress, the lord is back!" The assistants in the mansion rushed to tell him.

Liu Qing, who quietly returned to the city, bumped into Cai Yan when he returned home.

Liu Qing smiled, held Qian Ying with one hand, and took Cai Yan with the other hand, and walked towards the mansion.

"My husband has been away from Bingzhou for another month," Cai Yan said.

"Bingzhou is a long way away, and I have no choice but to do so. I still like the weather in Yecheng, especially at this time."

It was September, early autumn, and it was cool in the morning and evening, which was very comfortable.

As he walked, Cai Yan discovered that this was the way to his dormitory.

"Husband, won't you go to the study?"

"I'm tired and just want to sleep."

"But there have been several urgent reports from Yanzhou today. I was about to send someone to deliver it to my husband, but I didn't expect that my husband came back suddenly." Cai Yan said.

Several urgent reports? Could it be that Yuan Shao and Xu Rong have already started a decisive battle?

"Then go to the study first! Qian Ying, Kurama is tired, you can go and rest first!"

Qian Ying resigned, Liu Qing and Cai Yan took a detour to the study, and left for a while, but the study did not change at all, it was still neat and clean, the desk was spotless, there were a few scattered letters on it, and the air was filled with light fragrance, refreshing.

.

If the study room of Jinyang Prefectural Mufu was so comfortable, Liu Qing would not be tired even if he could read documents all day long.

Liu Qing sat down, while Cai Yan knelt down beside him demurely, took a letter and handed it to Liu Qing.

"This is the military report after Yuan Shao occupied the White Horse. I believe that my husband already knows about this battle."

Liu Qing nodded. Speaking of which, at first glance, it was quite surprising that Xu Rong defended the city for less than a day. It was not Xu Rong’s fighting style at all!

"This letter added that Xu Rong evacuated on his own initiative and was not defeated by Yuan Shao. Moreover, two days later, Yuan Jun's pursuit troops Jiang Qi and Chun Yuqiong were jointly intercepted and killed by Xu Rong and Fan Chou. The two generals have now been killed.

Dismissed from office."

"So serious?" Liu Qing complained, but it was understandable when he thought of Yuan Shao's label of being mean and unkind and narrow-minded.

Cai Yan took out another letter, and with a pair of white catkins, he unfolded it slowly and handed it to Liu Qing. She had prepared it on time.

Not only that, Cai Yan also said: "After Xu Rong defeated Jiang Qi and Chunyu Qiong, he suddenly launched an attack and joined forces with Fan Chou to repel Ding Yuan. Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou to rescue him but failed. Now Ding Yuan has retreated to Jiyin."

Xu Rong's use of troops is really weird. He took the initiative to evacuate from Baima, probably to paralyze Yuan Shao and contain Yuan Shao's main force. He also expected that Yuan Shao would send troops to pursue him. As a result, Yuan Jun actually set up an ambush in the middle, and quickly sent troops to attack Ding Yuan. Before Yuan Shao's reinforcements arrived, they would Ding Yuan was defeated, and the entire Yanzhou battlefield was Xu Rong's personal show!

Even Liu Qing felt numb when he reviewed the game, let alone Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan who were directly facing Xu Rong.

Some military generals Ji Yanming have strong fighting ability, like Zhang Liao. Some military generals are experienced and have a strong view of the overall situation. Although they will suffer losses, they can always win the battle, like Huangfu Song. But like Xu Rong, he is not a brave general, nor is he mature. The seasoned veteran feels that his battles are not based on preset wisdom, but more on intuition.

The intuition of fighting, when to advance and when to retreat, is as pleasing to the eye as art and has the style of a military strategist.

"Xu Rong should not be an enemy of him, but should try his best to win him over!" Liu Qing sighed.

Cai Yan then opened another one.

"Xu Rong has occupied Lihu County and completely cut off Yuan's army's supply line in Dongjun."

Damn, I feel numb! Liu Qing sighed again.

With that said, he pulled out a map of Yanzhou and found the location of Lihu County. Now Lihu was occupied by Ding Yuan, and Yuan Shao was trapped in Dongjun. If he wanted to supply supplies from Juancheng, he would have to pass through Puyang.

Yuan Shao had tricked Lu Bu before, so Lu Bu would naturally not be kind enough to provide supplies to Yuan Shao.

"Unexpectedly, the day I come back is when the battle of Yanzhou comes to an end."

"Husband, the white horse is still in the hands of Yuan Shao, Puyang is occupied by Lu Bu, and the counties to the east are even more complicated. How can we say that the battle of Yanzhou has come to an end?" Cai Yan asked curiously.

Liu Qing smiled and replied: "After the protagonist sings, the audience will leave! On the Yanzhou stage, only Yuan Shao and Xu Rong are the protagonists. The rest are just spectators, including us."

"Then how will the battle of Yanzhou end?"

"Yuan Shao was defeated and fled again. Xu Rong controlled the western part of Dongjun, including Puyang, and became a veritable prefect of Dongjun. Several counties in the eastern part of Dongjun will be controlled by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and then there is Chenliu County..."

Liu Qing paused, then suddenly took Cai Yan's slender hand and squeezed it gently, "Chen Liu will be mine! Because -"

"In Yu County and Chenliu, I will never allow it to fall into the flames of war!"

When Cai Yan heard this, his nose immediately felt sore. He seemed to have a thousand words in his heart that he wanted to say, but he didn't know what words or sentences to use to express them, so he had no choice but to plunge into Liu Qing's arms.

His shoulders twitched twice and he started sobbing.

Are you so moved?

Just burst into tears?

"Why is Madam like this?"

Cai Yan raised his head and looked at Liu Qing with an expression on his face, tears in his eyes, his big and beautiful eyes.

"My husband is so kind, Zhao Ji doesn't know how to repay you!"
