Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 160 The Feeling of Homecoming

A few days after leaving Baibo Valley, Liu Qing and his party entered Taiyuan County along the Fenshui River Valley.

Every time he went to a place, Liu Qing consulted some local gentry in Guo Jia, but Guo Jia didn't know much about it.

The Wang family and the Guo family are just a few main people. The Guo family is the family of the former prefect Guo Yan, and the Wang family is the celebrity in the court during this period. Crazy targeting, from the governor of Yuzhou, all the way to being imprisoned, and then he was rescued by Yuan Kui and Deng Sheng pleading, and demoted to his home.

Liu Qing had already received the imperial court's award, and was promoted to the title of County Marquis. He did not expect that there was no change in his official position, nor did he expect it.

Corresponding to him is Dong Zhuo, who was directly named Bingzhou Shepherd, which was still unexpected.

Today's 184 years have changed beyond recognition. Liu Qing once said that wherever he went, major events were opened as if someone turned a key. , but only half a year has passed.

Without him, a mere siege campaign could last for a year or so.

Although the Qiang-Liang rebels were defeated, it might not be easy if they wanted to regain Liangzhou. Most likely, the confrontation continued, and then Han Suimateng and his like gradually came forward and finally separated Liangzhou.

Dong Zhuo surpassed Liu Qing's expectations and became a state shepherd. This is a very difficult matter.

In Liu Qing's plan, Dong Zhuo should have risen in Sanfu or Liangzhou, and it was not too bad to be a shepherd of Liangzhou. As a result, He Jin directly recommended him as the shepherd of Bingzhou.

Then what Liu Qing did in Yanmen County and Wuyuan County may not be able to hide it, and Yunzhong's idea of ​​Dingxiang Second County cannot be fought, and even himself has directly become Dong Zhuo's subordinate.

"He Jin's mother is retarded!"

Upon hearing the news, Liu Qing uttered foul language in modern Chinese.

Originally, the relationship with Dong Zhuo was well managed, but now, the two sides are directly facing each other.

Zhao Yun stopped his horse, pointed to a city in front of him and said, "My lord, Qi County is conveniently in front of me."

Qi County, a branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan, that is, Wang Yun's branch.

"My lord, do you want to see Wang Yun?" Guo Jia asked.

"Why would I see him!" Liu Qing said casually.

This old thing hides the adoptive daughter, even if he visits, he may not be able to meet the legendary Diao Chan.

"I just want to know where the famous Taiyuan Wang family is located."

Dong Zhuo is about to come, so he needs to know where the "Dong Zhuo Treasure" is first, in case it betrays him.

Today's Dong Zhuo has a heroic demeanor, but his ambition cannot be ignored. He has been kind to him in the past, so he seems grateful, and he is also very respectful to Liu Qing.

But his current position is already above Liu Qing, and his ambition is often drawn out by power.

Dong Zhuo went to Bingzhou and governed Jinyang, and Qi County, where Wang Yun was located, was not far away.

I don't know if Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou, will come back. There is no news about him for the time being. According to Luzhou Mu, he should replace the governor of Bingzhou, so there will be no post of governor of Bingzhou in the future.

It's interesting to think about these characters mixed together.

"My lord, Taiyuan County is the most affluent place I have seen in half a year. The city here is so densely built that one day's journey can pass through several cities." Zhao Yun said.

"Taiyuan County is no less mountainous than Yanmen, and it is taller and deeper. The city can only be built on flat ground." Guo Jia replied. "My lord will not go back to Yanmen, so there is no need to pass through Jinyang."

"Feng Xiao, according to your opinion, how should our army deal with Dong Zhuo's relationship with the state's governor?"

"My lord, Dong Zhongying may not be able to do anything to my lord. Although power can move people's hearts, people's hearts don't change at will. My lord only needs to develop steadily and absorb the gains from this battle."

Liu Qing nodded. It is indeed time to develop well. Although there are Jushou Tian Feng and Xun Yu, there are many visions that transcend the times, and you still have to straighten it out yourself.

"My lord, is our army going to rest overnight in Qi County?" Zhao Yun asked.

Liu Qing shook his head.

"It's good to know the place, and you won't enter the city. Let's rest after dark. When you arrive in Yuci, you can turn eastward." Liu Qing suddenly turned to Qianying and asked, "madam, do you want to go back to Xianbei to see?" ?”

When Qian Ying heard this, a trace of joy flashed across her pretty face, but she still replied very submissively: "Is it okay?"

Liu Qing smiled and said: "After all, you are the former lord. You have not returned for a long time, and you don't know how your brother is governing. Go back and promote the trade between the two clans. Moreover, tens of thousands of Xianbei rebels fled far away. In the mountains, I think that one day, they will make a comeback, and we need to take precautions in advance, and when everything goes well, I will send someone to pick you up."

"Thank you, husband!" A reserved smile gradually bloomed on Qianying's face.

This trip is a must.

First of all, after the two have a close relationship, the relationship between the two clans will also progress. After following Liu Qing to fight for a circle, Qianying has seen many outstanding existences of big men, not just words and etiquette, but all aspects of life. , Staying with Liu Qing every day, I also have a little understanding of the future development, and Qianying is also clear and confident about the future of Xianbei.

Second, Cai Yan is in Changshan.

Originally, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and there was a surprise when she returned home. After getting married that day, she rushed to Yanmen to fight against Xianbei, but when she returned, there was an extra Xianbei princess, and the surprise turned into a shock.

Liu Qing and his entourage went north for another two days and arrived at Yuci. Qianying took Liu Qing's documents, turned north, and entered Yanmen along the mountain.

……

It was the end of June when Liu Qing returned to Yuanshi County.

Since entering Changshan, I have seen and heard quite a lot.

On the plain, there are almost no deserted fields, and many gentle slopes along the mountains have also been reclaimed and planted with millet and other crops.

Many ditches have been built in the fields for water diversion. These scenes are very familiar. This is the county governor Toyoda who has extended the management experience of one county in Yu County to the entire Changshan Mountain.

In addition, on the official road, there have been several waves of patrolling people along the way. Outside the Yuan Clan, there is a camp of recruits, and the sound of "hey" training can be heard from a distance.

"Zilong, let the cavalry rest in this camp for the time being, you go and settle it properly, and then enter the city, and call Zhu Ling by the way."

Liu Qing guessed that it was Zhu Ling who trained the recruits.

There were quite a few people coming in and out of the city gate, but after Liu Qing appeared outside the city, most of them dispersed until a group of soldiers and horses came out of the city to temporarily drive away all the people entering and leaving.

Liu Qing walked forward slowly, and saw two figures standing at the gate of the city, they were clearly Ju Shou and Tian Feng.

"I'm home!" Liu Qing smiled unconsciously, and immediately greeted him.

"Uncle Ju! Yuan Hao!"

"I've seen the lord!" The two saluted together, and Liu Qing lifted each of them up.

Ju Shou said: "There is a lack of far-reaching welcome, and a lack of grandeur. Don't blame my lord!"

Liu Qing knew that this was because of their status. After all, both of them were prefects in official positions. Now that Liu Qing has no banner, they are equal on the surface.

Guo Jia also greeted the two of them, and Dian Wei, after a while of pleasantries, the five of them led their horses into the city together.

Ju Shou stared back and forth at Liu Qing's Jin Ge repeatedly, surprised again and again.

He couldn't help but went up to touch the yellow fur, "My lord, did you pay this horse during the battle?"

It was a batch of ordinary good horses when they set out for the expedition, and Ju Shou knew it.

"This horse is a gift from the Xianbei royal family!"

"The Xianbei royal family?" Tian Feng asked in surprise, "Could it be that the lord hit the Xianbei royal family?"

Liu Qing found it strange that reaching an agreement with Xianbei was an old thing.

"Wen Ruo didn't say these things?" Liu Qing knew that Xun Yu of Yanmen and Jushou of Changshan often exchanged letters.

"My correspondence with Wen Ruo was all about recruiting soldiers and rations, but a few days ago, Wen Ruo sent more than a thousand cows, but no horses."

These cattle, of course, came from the Southern Huns. The cattle were sent for farming, while the sheep and horses continued to be raised in the pastures in Yanmen County.

Now that the cow is in place, Liu Qing will do it himself next time to improve productivity.

"It's the duty of the two of you. In the blink of an eye, several months will pass. I'm in a hurry to receive letters. Many things happened during this period. Let's go, talk slowly when you enter the house!" Liu Qing said, speeding up his pace unconsciously.

The few people stopped discussing and followed Liu Qing's rhythm into the city. Since no one spoke, Liu Qing simply jumped on his horse and galloped towards the mansion.

Jinge Leding, Liu Qing came to the gate of a luxurious house, and he knew it had been renovated at a glance.

The two guards were still wary of Liu Qing who had stopped suddenly. When they looked up, the alertness on their faces instantly turned into awe. They held halberds and knelt on one knee.

"I have seen the lord!"

Perhaps few people in Changshan County recognize Liu Qing, but in this mansion, they are all guarded by veterans.

"Exemption!" Liu Qing said, jumped off the horse, and walked straight to the gate.

Suddenly, there was a green shadow at the door.

Liu Qing stopped in his tracks, looked at the person coming, his eyes met.

She was wearing a light green dress, and her hair was simply coiled. There was no decoration on it, only a simple red hairpin. She blinked at Liu Qing with a pair of beautiful eyes. .

The white belt is fluttering, and the skirt is swaying with the wind. The picture is obviously dynamic, but in Liu Qing's eyes, it is full of tranquility.

"Husband!" Cai Yan softly parted her pink lips and called out.

The voice was inaudible, as if it was blocked by something, so Liu Qing didn't hear it, only saw his pink lips move.

Liu Qing walked up with a smile.

The person on the opposite side also rushed over and hugged Liu Qing's iron lump, no matter whether it was uncomfortable or not, he stuck his head on Liu Qing's armor.

"It's dusty and unclean."

Liu Qing supported Cai Yan's shoulders, trying to remove her cold and filthy iron armor, Cai Yan twitched a few times, but he refused, and stretched out his arms to hug Liu Qing.

I didn't expect it to be a sticky person.

Liu Qing stood for a few breaths, and suddenly said against his will: "I'm tired."

"Ah?" Cai Yan suddenly raised his head, looking at Liu Qing for no reason, two tears had flowed out, stained with the dust on Liu Qing's body, leaving two marks.

Liu Qing smiled and stretched out a hook with his index finger, trying to gently erase the two marks, but unexpectedly, the more they were wiped, the darker they became, and the creamy skin immediately faded, like a little cat.

Liu Qing scratched Cai Yanqiong's nose and said, "Wait for me to change into clothes."

Cai Yan nodded, and reluctantly let go of his arms.

Liu Qing took Cai Yan's hand and walked into the courtyard, feeling very comfortable.

This feeling is unprecedented.

Liu Qing had lived in this place before, maybe he just moved in, so he didn't feel anything at that time.

In the courtyard purchased in Yuxian County, even if there was a wedding ceremony or bridal chamber there, I didn't feel this way, because I knew it was temporary.

But this time, when Liu Qing stepped here again, he felt an unprecedented strange emotion, because there was one more person waiting for him to come back quietly.

……

Taiyuan County, Qi County.

After Wang Yun was demoted, he stayed at home and lived a semi-reclusive life.

He thought that as long as he caught the evidence of Zhang Rang's fornication with the Yellow Turban, he could wipe out the ten permanent attendants, but he was beaten up, not only lost his official position, but also sent to prison.

If it wasn't for the help of Deng Sheng and Yuan Kai, he might have been murdered by Shi Changshi long ago. What he didn't expect was that Shi Changshi had so many "criminal evidence" against him.

In fact, this is not a criminal evidence, it is just his reckless morality when he was young and vigorous, or from another perspective, who is clean among the lords of the temple?
Holding a letter in his hand, Wang Yun paced back and forth in the backyard bored, chanting two names non-stop.

"Liu Qing, Dong Zhuo, Liu Qing, Dong Zhuo..."

This letter was written by the Taiwei Deng Sheng, but his mentor is now Sikong, and he has changed the position of the third prince with Zhang Wen.

The letter briefly introduced the Battle of Hedong and the Battle of Meiyang. These two figures were the mainstays. To everyone's surprise, the Four Houses showed meritorious service. Liu Qing was Marquis of Wuzhou and Dong Zhuo was Shepherd of Bingzhou. The two were rewarded together in Bingzhou.

Especially Dong Zhuo, who became the head of Bingzhou in one step.

They had known each other a few years ago when Dong Zhuo was governor of Bingzhou. Later, Wang Yun moved to governor of Yuzhou, and Dong Zhuo moved to governor of Hedong.

Wang Yun also understood His Majesty's desire to establish a shepherd. Yizhou was isolated and the imperial court could not control it at all, so he established a herd.

Now it is the turn of Bingzhou, which is barren and desolate. After a battle with Xianbei and the Southern Huns, the garrison in Bingzhou was almost wiped out. The imperial court did not intend to send troops, so His Majesty set up a herd.

Wang Yun could even guess that the next one to stand up would be the chaotic Liangzhou.

As for Mr. Liu Qing, Wang Yun didn't understand either. He was only conferred a title, not an official. It is said that it was because of his young age.

It's all an excuse, don't you see that Hou Huo Qu, the champion of the Han Dynasty, is sick?
Deng Shengxin said that Dong Zhuo was an old official of Yuan Kai, and Bingzhou Mu was recommended by He Jin.

Both of them had the intention of wooing each other, and after Dong Zhuo came to Jinyang to take office, they would make more visits as old friends.

As for Liu Qing, this was Wang Yun's headache.

He and Liu Qing can't get along with each other, how can they make friends?

The big man is popular to say that everything is justified, and the two sides have no foundation, and there is no half interest, so they can't just come to see each other.

Wang Yun is nearly fifty years old, and Mr. Liu Qing has not yet reached the crown, if he came to show his favor directly, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous!
Wang Yun glanced at the letter, put his hands behind his back again, and paced back and forth.

Muttering in his mouth: "Liu Qing, Liu Qing, Liu Qing..."

Suddenly a soft voice interrupted him: "Father, why are you troubled?"
