Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 161 Bird in a Cage, Montenegro Army

Wang Yun suddenly turned his head and saw the righteous daughter Diao Chan coming.

Luo Chang dances lightly, and Qiongbu carries the wind.

"It's Diao Chan." Wang Yun smiled when he saw it, and continued: "What else can I do, it's naturally because of the court affairs."

Diao Chan walked to Wang Yun's side, took Wang Yun's arm, and the two walked to the small pavilion in the courtyard.

"The adoptive father has been removed from office, why don't you rest more?" Diao Chan said.

"Internal troubles and external troubles, eunuchs monopolizing power, I have suffered greatly, how can I stand by and watch!" Wang Yun said very unwillingly.

If he was dismissed due to dereliction of duty or incompetence, Wang Yun would have nothing to say, but now he is being persecuted by the ten permanent servants, how can he swallow this bad breath.

Diao Chan was silent, Wang Yun was stubborn, she always only persuaded once, no matter it was useful or not, she would not say more.

It's useless to persuade.

"Alas~" Wang Yun looked at the silent adoptive daughter and sighed. He also knew that if he didn't speak, Diao Chan would not persuade him again.

"Mr. Deng's letter meant that I should go out more with Dong Zhuo and Liu Qing. Right now, one has become a shepherd of Bingzhou, and the other has become a marquis of Wuzhou. There is still some reason to see Dong Zhuo, but Liu Qing, I have no official position. , and I have never met him, and I am worrying about how to get acquainted."

Wang Yun still followed the previous half, and expressed his thoughts, so as to listen to his daughter's opinion.

It's just that what he thought of was that Liu Qing had just passed by Qi County a few days ago.

When Diao Chan heard this, she immediately smiled, Tao Hua's eyes slightly bent, "Father, this is easy, we can use the name of a trip to meet him, but first we need to know where Mr. Liu Qing is."

"Traveling?" Wang Yun thought it made sense as soon as he heard it. He might not need to visit directly. Now that he has no official position, he happened to travel to try his luck.

The question is, where is he now?

Have you returned to Yanmen?
Still need to find out first...

"Father, I wonder if you can take your daughter with you when you travel?" Diao Chan asked.

"Take you?" Wang Yun looked at Diao Chan, his eyes met those big watery eyes, as if he had thought of something.

Unknowingly, Diao Chan has grown so big, and her already very good-looking appearance has become even more delicate, her peach blossom eyes can express love, her nose is straight, and her full mouth is embellished with a touch of enchantment in her innocence. .

It's not a contradiction, it's just right.

If Liu Qing sees it, he will definitely exclaim: Isn't this the pure desire that is popular on the Internet!
It's just that Diao Chan must be the ceiling of pure desire.

Wang Yun knew in his heart that Diao Chan's heart turned to the outside world. After all, since Wang Yun discovered her potential, he deliberately created a living environment for women.

Wang Yun was born in the Wang family, even though he acted resolutely and uprightly, but he was so beautiful, he naturally understood the value of it, otherwise he would not accept her as a righteous daughter.

So Wang Yun decisively rejected Diao Chan's request.

"The world is chaotic, your daughter's family, it's better not to go out." Wang Yun said, and walked out.

Diao Chan sent off her adoptive father with a smile, but when she turned her back behind her, a trace of loneliness flashed in her peach blossom eyes, and Wang Yun's figure gradually blurred.

……

Liu Qing took a shower and changed his clothes. After washing the dust well, he changed into a loose blue-gray robe and an exquisite dark blue belt. This is Cai Yan's new summer thin dress.

In the bedroom, Liu Qing knelt and sat on the mat, while Cai Yan knelt and stood behind him, combing Liu Qing's long hair very gently.

July is coming, maybe it is the Little Ice Age at the end of Han Dynasty, the weather is not as hot as expected.

The new clothes Cai Yan made were also very breathable. She silently tied Liu Qing's long hair, and Cai Yan knelt down beside her obediently, watching without saying a word.

It seems to be looking back on the months of separation.

"Cough cough!"

Liu Qing woke up, calmly hugged Cai Yan, and let her snuggle into his arms.

"That... when I was not around, did you miss me?"

Liu Qing's mouth was just a nonsense, but it was also a love sentence, used to open up the chatterbox.

Cai Yan lowered his head, nestled in Liu Qing's arms, and muttered: "Hide it in the center, when will you forget it."

"Where did it come from?" Liu Qing asked without understanding.

"Xí[xí] Sang in Xiaoya of The Book of Songs."

Liu Qing understands it, although he has little knowledge and has never heard of it, but it does not prevent Liu Qing from understanding the meaning in the slightest.

I hide him in my heart and miss him every day. There are seldom such magnanimous and warm lines in the Book of Songs.

"When you come to Jizhou, can you still get used to life?"

The man in his arms didn't speak, but just nodded.

Then the two of them became quiet again, just quietly embracing each other, Liu Qing let go of his thoughts and felt inexplicably at ease.

There was also a subtle feeling in my heart, and I could even feel my heart beating faster.

Different from Princess Qianying's love, maybe this is liking, Liu Qing likes this well-behaved and sensible woman who can make his mind peaceful.

After an unknown amount of time, a call came from outside the door.

"My lord, Lord Ju please see me!"

Alas, it's not enough to be gentle. It seems that there are many things in Changshan County.

Before Liu Qing could make a move, Cai Yan took the first step away from Liu Qing's chest, and said softly, "Husband, the important thing is the most important thing."

Liu Qing nodded, suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Cai Yanqiong's nose lightly, then turned and left.

Before coming to the study, Liu Qing saw three people waiting in front of the door, they were Ju Shou, Tian Feng, and Guo Jia.

As soon as he approached, Liu Qing smelled a smell of wine, and his eyes stayed on Jushou for a while. He knew that Jushou was very happy to drink, but the smell didn't come from him, but from Guo Jia.

Liu Qing shook his head helplessly, pushed the door and entered, and said sarcasticly when he entered, "Feng Xiao, Feng Xiao, I will take a bath first when I come back, but you are fine, and I will take a bath when I come back."

Guo Jia followed closely with a smile, and said nonchalantly: "There is a mistress at home, so the lord will take a bath first, and I don't have a mistress."

"Uh..." Liu Qing was speechless, suddenly remembered that the Southern Xiongnu Meiji who was rewarded to him was sent to Yanmen County, so he said: "You write a letter yourself, and ask Wen Ruo to send it to you! "

Jushou Tianfeng also came in, smiling at the two of them.

Liu Qing went straight to the case and sat down on the floor, and motioned for the three of them to sit down too.

"Uncle Ju, is there something urgent?"

Jushou nodded, took out a letter, and pushed it to Liu Qing, "It's urgent, but it's not very urgent in the mountain county, but in Julu county."

Liu Qing didn't interrupt, and motioned him to tell the details.

"The reason for this incident is also simple. The foreign tribes joined together, withholding three assistants and taking Hedong. The imperial court continued to move troops westward, which caused the lack of military strength in other places. Therefore, the Yellow Turban, which had previously fled and hid, revived again, especially in the Heishan area of ​​Hanoi County. It was the Yellow Turban developed by Ma Yuanyi, but he acted in a hurry, and Ma Yuanyi was torn apart before he became successful, and those Taiping believers in the Yellow Turban were better preserved and not wiped out."

After Jushou finished speaking in one breath, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Black Mountain Army, Liu Qing guessed it all at once. In history, Xiliang’s army was chaotic for several years. Occupied by rebels.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Black Mountain Army also developed vigorously. They relied on Taihang Mountain. The leader in the early stage was Zhang Niujiao, and in the later stage it was Chu Yan who had surrendered to Liu Qing.

Although the Black Mountain Army was born in Hanoi, it did not threaten Luoyang, but continued to expand to Jizhou.

Jushou went on to say: "The Heishan army came out from Hanoi and attacked Weijun directly. Although Yecheng did not fall, Li Wen, the prefect of Weijun, followed Fu Xie to help Meiyang, so that Weijun had no soldiers to defend. Zhang Niujiao drove straight in, and approached Julu Junzhi. Yantao, and Guo Dian, the prefect of Julu, also followed Fu Xie to help Meiyang, so Dong Zhao, the head of Yantao, sent an emergency to the surrounding counties and asked for reinforcements."

Liu Qing understood that no matter how the butterfly's wings fluttered, some things should happen, and they would still happen. Chu Yan's troops were subdued by Liu Qing, but Zhang Niujiao did not have the slightest influence.

When Zhang Niujiao died under the city of Taotao, Chu Yan succeeded him, and Chu Yan also changed his name to Zhang Yan and became the leader of the Black Mountain Army. During the heyday, the scale even exceeded one million.

But the situation at this time is that Julu's troops are insufficient, and Yan Tao is also unable to defend, so Zhang Niujiao may not die.

It can be said to be very butterfly.

"How many troops does Zhang Niujiao have?" Liu Qing asked.

"Magistrate Dong said that there are about 4 to [-] people, and the number of soldiers defending the city is only a thousand or so. They will not be able to hold on for a long time, and according to the practice of the Yellow Turban Army, if the scattered troops gather together, it may be doubled."

"You might as well overestimate it and count it as [-] troops." Tian Feng interjected.

"The battle in Meiyang is over. Li Wen and Guo Dian should be on their way back now." Liu Qing reminded him aloud, this is a busy matter. To be honest, Liu Qing doesn't want to help. situation.

It's a pity that Brother Liu Xuande fought against the Wuhuan rebels in Youzhou. Otherwise, the Black Mountain Army would have had some difficulty crossing Julu County. The Black Mountain Army took advantage of the vacuum in Julu County to get out.

"Apart from this, what else is there?"

Liu Qing chose to skip it directly and discuss later.

Ju Shou and Tian Feng looked at each other, and left the speech to Tian Feng.

"My lord, the Shiyi workshop has begun to take shape. The original two rooms have been replaced by one room. The expansion is still ongoing. The production of horseshoes and stirrups is already normal, but the quantity is temporarily insufficient."

"What about the supply of iron ore?" Liu Qing picked up a key point and asked.

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "The iron ore has not been delivered yet."

Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, Yanmen hadn't opened yet, so Gan Lai hadn't made any progress on the big blast furnace, and the construction of the blast furnace also needed a lot of iron, which was still in the investment stage.

Fortunately, Changshan also has iron ore sources.

"How are the recruits doing?"

Tian Feng then replied: "Currently the Yuanshi Battalion, oh, that is, the large camp not far from the city, there are currently [-] recruits in the camp, trained by Zhu Ling, and have not yet formed combat effectiveness."

Liu Qing nodded, and looked at Guo Jia, this guy was dozing off!
Liu Qing wasn't angry. Guo Jia was already weak and tired from the journey, so he drank alcohol again, so it was understandable.

"Alas~" Liu Qing sighed, originally wanted to ask Guo Jia's opinion on the battle, but now he could only say to himself: "In this way, the Yuan clan only has Zhao Yun's cavalry, a mere 2000 men, how can they fight against this situation? Fifty thousand troops? What's more, Dong Zhuo is about to take office, I don't think this person will obediently hand over his military power, and come empty-handed and become the governor of the state."

As soon as these words came out, Ju Shou and Tian Feng looked at each other inexplicably, and found a truth in each other's eyes: the lord has become more cautious, he is worthy of being a man who has become a family.

This is a great thing!

Liu Qing didn't know what Jushou and Tian Feng were thinking, he only knew his own thoughts, he got Wang Zhi, annihilated the main force of the Southern Huns, even wiped out the entire Southern Huns tribe, and scattered them all over Yanmen County. In battle, this is decisive.

And what did you get?The title of Marquis of Wuzhou seems to have a high gold content, but Wuzhou County itself belongs to Yanmen County, and border counties are generally paid, so where does the tax come from, so Liu Hong is equivalent to sending Liu Qing's things to Gave it to Liu Qing.

Instead, Dong Zhuo was made Bingzhou Mu. According to Liu Qing's instructions to Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhuo's reputation among the Qiang people, it is unknown how many prisoners Dong Zhuo took in Mei County.

Ten thousand?Thirty thousand?

These may become Dong Zhuo's forces, and eventually evolve into Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, these are not scumbags.

He paid too much attention to Dong Zhuo, and as a result, the imperial court made Dong Zhuo directly his boss.

However, there is still room for maneuver. If Dong Zhuo chooses to take office at this time, he will need to surrender his military power.

After all, he is not the broken man after Liu Hong's death.

Now the right to choose is still in Dong Zhuo’s hands. Of course, Dong Zhuo can also rely on it again. He wrote to Liu Hong: “I have been in charge of the army for ten years. , the effect side hangs".

Liu Hong: I want to fart!Soldiers still have to save Liangzhou!

Liu Qing: Get out!Don't beat me!

Another reason to be cautious is that even after half a year of fighting, whether it is Liu Qingjun himself, the official army, or even the Yellow Turban Army, the quality of the army is increasing rapidly.

The Yellow Turban Army refers to the Baibo Yellow Turban, which Liu Qing saw with his own eyes.

Therefore, Liu Qing was obviously not very interested in the battle with Zhang Niujiao.

The reason is simple, you can't let other people's emergencies affect your established goals, let alone this emergency may not be profitable.

After saving Chang Tao, will Dong Zhao come with me?

I'm afraid that the chances of coming to work after the destruction of Tao Tao City are a little higher.

Jushou and Tian Feng saw that Liu Qing seemed not interested in this battle, so they chose to go along with it.

Ju Shou: "My lord, apart from the loss of soldiers, horses, money and food, it seems that this battle is really not profitable."

Tian Feng: "It's just pottery with little reputation, even if it is really taken over by the Black Mountain bandits, that's it, the Yellow Turban will not slaughter the city."

Liu Qing thinks about it the same way, when he was about to make a decision on this matter, he glanced at Guo Jia, who was listless.

"Bong Xiao? Feng Xiao!" Liu Qing raised his voice for the second time.

Guo Jia suddenly sat up straight, looked at Jushou and Tian Feng seriously, and then turned to Liu Qing: "My lord, please tell me."

"I thought you were asleep."

"Don't you dare, Jia has been listening."

"Oh? Then tell me, who wrote this letter?" Liu Qing pushed the letter on the case, and then put his hand on it, apparently to prevent Guo Jia from snatching it up to see what happened.

"Dong Zhuo!" Guo Jiali said bluntly, he must be right, just a few people have been talking about Dong Dongdong.

"Cough~" Jushou coughed unnaturally, and made a kind reminder.

Liu Qing shook his head helplessly, and pushed the letter in front of Guo Jia with two fingers.

Guo Jia opened the letter, his blurred eyes gradually cleared up, his dark eyeballs swayed slightly, as if he was quickly scanning the text in the letter.

After Guo Jia quickly entered the state, Liu Qing also noticed that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and immediately retracted his gaze, and said to Ju Shou and Tian Feng:
"Feng Xiao has an idea."
