Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

Chapter 160 Ambition first appeared

Even he himself could see that Yan Qing was doing something for show, and he never expected to deceive Xun You, who was better at perceiving people's hearts.

However, Lu Bu, who had been secretly jealous all night, held a different view on this - won such preferential treatment and love from the protagonist, wouldn't anyone be too happy to find the north?

Yan Qing got up earlier than Xun You, and went to bed later than him, so he went in and out without disturbing Xun You, who was asleep after taking the medicinal soup.

After waiting for a few days, Xun Youfang guessed it by chance.

That night, he deliberately stayed awake, waiting for Yan Qing and Lu Bu to come in on tiptoe, and suddenly sat up and grabbed him.

Yan Qing was surprised: "Gongda? Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"

Xun You looked at him quietly, without saying a word.

Yan Qing couldn't help leaning towards him, feeling terrified in his heart.

Although Xun Gongda's face remained paralyzed as usual, without any other expression, his eye sockets became more moist and gradually condensed into crystal water drops.

Yan Qing: "..."

When Xun You, who is usually reserved and elegant, stared at him and let the tears roll down his eyes, and started to fall down patter, Yan Qing was so shocked that his whole body became stiff on the spot.

Lu Bu still had a calm expression on his face, watching his nose, nose, and heart.

"Here," Yan Qing held Xun You's hands at a loss, and after a moment of silence, carefully told: "You, good life, rest."

Xun You didn't say anything, just nodded in a daze.

The tears on the cheeks followed this action, and quickly rolled down a few drops, and fell directly on the back of Yan Qing's hand.

Yan Qing: "..."

After a few words of relief dryly, he retreated in embarrassment.

Lu Bu laid out the bedding in a leisurely manner, Yan Qing sat watching with lingering fear, and couldn't help pricking up his ears to listen to the movement in the main hall.

When the slight sobbing sound gradually subsided, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, put down the thick curtain, lowered his voice, and said with lingering fear: "Gong Daxu is sick and confused."

Lu Bu was noncommittal: "Hmm."

Yan Qing sat cross-legged, stared at the top for a while, but couldn't calm down for a while, so he simply pulled out the map in the drawer to study it.

Lu Bu laid it out in a few clicks, went back to Yan Qing and sat down, only glanced at the map, and couldn't help saying 'huh', his eyes stuck to it for a moment, and he couldn't tear it apart: "This map... "

The corners of Yan Qing's lips raised slightly, and he continued, "Haven't you seen it before?"

Lu Bu watched intently, and nodded vigorously upon hearing this.

The one that Yan Qing placed in the center of the meeting hall all the year round was a large map newly created by the two caravans he sent to support him after going to various places for investigation, and combined with the government's existing ones.

Compared with the previous ones, it is not only much more accurate, but also adds new explanations about special terrain, climate and wind direction in each season, etc., which are very specific and more conducive to making tactical planning.

But at this moment, this picture... is not only about the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, it is actually centered on this, and it extends out for more than double. , all included.

Lu Bu couldn't put it down because of the immature map, and asked hurriedly, "When was this made? The outside is so vast?"

Yan Qing smiled: "This is only the first edition, and the details need to be perfected, but do you really think that Bo Fu has been away for several years and has not accomplished anything? He followed my secret order, after recruiting enough soldiers, he went to train the navy. I just came back from the Wonu country a few days ago."

Lu Bu's sense of smell has always been unusually keen when it comes to matters related to war, not to mention that even though Yan Qing didn't make it clear at this moment, he didn't have the slightest intention to hide it from him.

He glanced at the map in his hand, then at Yan Qing who was smiling calmly, instantly rejected the 'trading' speculation, and asked tentatively: "Master, do you want to fight outside before you settle down?"

Yan Qing laid a pillow on his lap lazily, met his sparkling eyes, and smiled softly: "Yeah. I'm always counting my own people over and over again, picking up this acre of land, Racking your brains all day long, trying to come up with some high-sounding excuses to attack them, but in the end it's just fighting in the nest, brothers fighting against the wall, what's the point?"

Lu Bu was lost in thought.

Yan Qing didn't have the ambition to conquer overseas in the early days, but now, his development in the land of the Han Dynasty is getting more and more prosperous, with the royal power suppressing him, the princes watching over him, and there are a group of loyal or overtly loyal Han Dynasty... ...the constraints are getting bigger and bigger.

In contrast, whether it is outside the Great Wall or overseas, there is a space of infinite possibilities, which is much wider than here.

Whether it is to leave a proper retreat for the people of your own power, or take advantage of the weakest period when other countries (such as the Kou country) are still ignorant, and even metal weapons and rice planting have not yet been popularized, Or some regrets and ideals from the previous life, I want to take this great opportunity to be satisfied and realized...

After defeating Dong Zhuo and being counted by Lu Zhi, Wang Yun and others in the small court, he felt disheartened at the moment, and this thought came to him.

It's a pity that the land route is temporarily impassable - if you want to fight Goguryeo, you have to take down Youzhou Liaodong County and other places, it depends on how Gongsun Zan performs this time; if you want to fight in the direction of Southeast Asia, the project is even more massive, separated by several states; there is an imperial capital in the west Being halfway was not a good choice anyway; the north was fine, although the Xiongnu were tricky, but Yanqing was not impossible to deal with.

But when he thought about how icy and snowy it would be if he moved forward... Yan Qing chose it as the second choice without hesitation.

Let's start with that nasty soft persimmon in the east and try it out.

Of course, the three states currently occupied are the foundation of Yan Qing, and he is absolutely impossible to allow it to be damaged in the slightest-looking outside, he may no longer take the initiative to commit crimes, but only take precautions secretly, but the tree wants to be quiet but the wind Not only that, before he really shifted his focus, he had to go through a thunderous retaliatory crusade to deter the surrounding Xiaoxiao who were ready to move.

Yuan Shao's desperate fight this time gave him a great opportunity to make an example of others.

However, the matter of using troops to fight abroad is of great importance, and it sounds incredible. Due to the limitations of technological development, the hope of success seems to be very slim. Yan Qing has always kept this thought deep in his heart, and has not elaborated on it.

Having said that, they probably just took it as a joke.

After all, the Central Plains-based thought is deeply rooted. Speaking of "expanding the territory", at most it is to fight against the Xiongnu in the north, the Hu Qiang in the west, and the Goguryeo in the east, and even put down the rebellion brought by them and regain the lost land. Soil is not bad.

Even Guo Jia, who talked to Yan Qing all the time, and Lu Bu, who had a physical relationship, were completely unaware of the lord's hidden terrifying ambitions.

Only Sun Ce and others, who played the most critical role in it, gradually realized it, but even their own father couldn't hide it.

Now that the big ship has been built, the first voyage has been completed, and the first light is dawning, Yan Qing generously shines on Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu was thinking, Yan Qing didn't bother, just smiled slightly, and watched every change of expression on his face.

First full of inconceivable, then confused and inexplicable, and then a little thoughtful...

In the end, all that was piled up on his face was only eager to try, and his blood was boiling.

Yan Qing frowned in her heart.

——He really did not misunderstand the person.

Lu Bu immediately became full of energy. After Yan Qing drew a big blueprint so vast that he had never even dreamed of it before, all the flying vinegar he had just eaten was forgotten, and he only suppressed his excitement. Chao Yanqing asked: "The first to attack the Japanese slave country? Didn't they send envoys to come here decades ago, and the lord of the country was awarded the golden seal, which is regarded as a serious state. Has the guild caused trouble?"

Yan Qing smiled and asked back: "Now the imperial court is too busy to take care of itself, and even the ambitious princes can't suppress it. How can it control the appeal of an overseas country that has not paid tribute for decades? And the bullet of the 'Japanese slave' There are hundreds of small countries in this land, who knows which country is the one that got the golden seal? Even if they were attacked, they sent envoys to travel thousands of miles, and finally rushed to His Majesty safely, and complained about their grievances. Will you believe me? I will put Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Youzhou, which are close in front of me, and go all the way to bully them? Taking ten thousand steps back, even if there is such a day, who's edict, how much can it do to me? Sub-binding?"

Relying on the strength of his power and his heart, he led the people to expand the territory and promote the power of China. It can be said that he has a clear conscience.

If someone really abandons him because of this, then so be it.

Conquering and assimilating the Japanese slave country is just the beginning.

Lu Bu was left speechless by the question, completely convinced, and imagining the scenes, he couldn't help but be fascinated.

He moved his eyeballs involuntarily, and was fascinated to see the lord's beautiful appearance with high spirits, shining eyes, and radiant light, and his heart beat wildly in an instant.

Yan Qing didn't notice Lu Bu's distraction, and continued: "Now that the sailors have just formed, Sun Lang still needs to go back and forth a few more times to find out the details, build the wharf and port, and then consider increasing troops and formally launching a conquest. No matter how quickly , at least a year and a half."

Lu Bu continued smoothly: "In this year and a half, is my lord going to temporarily eliminate others' covetousness, increase food reserves, and recruit soldiers and craftsmen?"

Yan Qing nodded, and said meaningfully: "For the navy, we need to train some more generals."

At this time when the three feasible land routes have not yet been opened, one can imagine how much Yan Qing relies on the navy.If all the Huaisi generals who were related to Sun Jian were in charge, it would not be a good thing for the entire force.

Just as Lu Bu was about to recommend himself, he suddenly remembered something and stopped talking stiffly.

...he was very seasick.

Yan Qing never thought about Lu Bu, but only silently pondered which generals had outstanding talents in this area during the period of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms—the Soochow faction seemed to be blessed, and Guan Yu was almost omnipotent...

Lu Bu didn't know what Yan Qing's silence meant, and thought he was waiting for him to make a statement. He couldn't help feeling guilty, his lips moved, and he was about to force himself to confess, when Yan Qing heard the clapper being knocked outside, and said in surprise: "It's time to rest. .”

Without waiting for Lu Bu to speak, Yan Qing got up without hesitation, threw the quilt on Lu Bu, and told him without looking back while putting on his shoes: "If you are tired, go to bed first, I have to go and see the princess. How is it?"

Lu Bu: "...Oh."
