Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 166 Is a Wife and a Secretary

After Liu Qing inspected Shiyi, he chose a few nearby counties and walked around at will. The results he got were basically the same. Changshan County is now on the right track.

The Cao Cao in the county government performed their duties in an orderly manner, except that the talents explored this area, and it seemed that there was no progress, but this kind of thing could not be forced.

Regarding Yanmen, Xun Yu mentioned in his reply that the southern Huns had basically dispersed, and it would be difficult for them to form settlements in the future.

Without a settlement, coupled with the continuous influence of the Han people around them, they will integrate into this big family sooner or later.

Although the Southern Huns were defeated, Liu Qing would not treat them like captives and slaves, and only needed to integrate into the big family.

As for those diehards, Liu Qing directly gave Xun Yu the power to act "cheaply".

Liu Qing considers himself a kind-hearted person, but he is by no means a holy mother. Whoever dares to make bad porridge rat shit will be eliminated directly.

Xun Yu also mentioned Ganlai's progress in ironmaking in his daily letter. At present, he has completed the first small blast furnace. Unfortunately, he is facing many problems and cannot continue the operation.

However, as long as the iron can be smelted, at least it means that the structure is correct, and the rest is just a matter of detail improvement. Liu Qing also attaches great importance to this matter, and wrote a letter to Gan Lai, talking about some of the simple middle school knowledge he has mastered. , hoping to give him some advice.

Liu Qing picked up the letter about Gao Shun, thought about it, and planned to recall him to Changshan.

Gao Shun has been training soldiers in Yanmen for a long time, Liu Qing wants to see his achievements.

For Gao Shun, Liu Qing knew in his heart that the ideals and pride of children from this kind of aristocratic family, Gao Shun is a very idealistic person, with a little arrogance, which can be said to be very typical.

Therefore, in history, Gao Shun was such a contradictory person. For his ideals, he trained, joined the army, and fought. Unfortunately, he followed the wrong person. In Lu Bu's army, he was incompatible with other generals under Lu Bu's account. Prohibition of alcohol, strong fighting power, but has never been able to gain the true trust of Lu Bu, even if he saved him a few times.

Even Lu Bu would rather be betrayed than trust him.

Unfortunately, because Gao Shun was very close to Zhang Miao, and Gao was related to Yuan, Cao Cao had to kill him.

Gao Shun likes to train soldiers and is eager to fight, but Liu Qing is not as good as he wants, so he just raises him like this. After all, his subordinates are like clouds, and Liu Qing doesn't believe that he can't be touched.

Sooner or later, he will take the initiative to express his support to Liu Qing, and now Liu Qing, because he destroyed the Southern Huns in the First World War, I believe Gao Shun will also know that with his current reputation and status, Gao Shun, who was born in a scholar family, came to serve, Not at a disadvantage!

Liu Qing put down the letter about Gao Shun, and Zhao Ji next to him handed over another letter.

At the same time, he introduced: "Husband, this is a plan for a large-scale racecourse in Yanmen. Wenruo chose Zhuwenze as the address. Although Zhuwenze is a salt lake, there are many rivers flowing into it, especially in the west, where the water plants are very dense. Fat and beautiful, it can be called a natural horse farm, but Zhu Wenze is located in Qiangyin County, the disadvantage is that there is no danger to defend, so the relationship with Xianbei is particularly important."

Xun Yu should be undecided. After all, the relationship with Xianbei is just a paper contract, and there is also a marriage. This kind of paper contract is too lacking in binding force after all.

To put it bluntly, the Xianbei royal family is only suppressed with their strength. If one day they manage the racecourse well, the temptation will be great enough, and when Liu Qing's strength is no longer, see if they dare to tear up the treaty.

"The problem of Xianbei." Liu Qing muttered, and suddenly realized that Cai Yan didn't know about Qianying.

Instead of waiting for her to discover passively, it's better to confess it yourself.

"That... Zhaoji, I have something to tell you, I hope you don't get angry." Liu Qing got a vaccination first.

Cai Yan originally planned to read the next letter, but after listening to Liu Qing's words, he turned to look at him, blinked his eyes, and listened curiously.

"It's a long story. I rushed to the aid of Yanmen earlier and defeated Lord Xianbei after he fled to the grassland. At that time, the morale of the Yanmen army and people was low and needed to be cheered up. I planned to go to the grassland to chase the leader. Later, I learned something. Grassland secrets, it turns out that the leader is not the orthodox Xianbei Lord, the orthodox Xianbei king should be Helian's son Qianman, because the young Qianman was too weak at that time, so..."

"Husband, I already know this." Cai Yan reminded suddenly.

ah?Oh!I get straight to the point.

"It's all Fengxiao's fault! A big plan to control Xianbei came out. The first step is to cooperate with the Xianbei royal family to kill the leader and regain the orthodox throne for him. The Xianbei king also promised that under his rule, absolutely No offence."

"My husband's trip is a century-old achievement." Cai Yan praised without hesitation.

"But..." Liu Qing turned around and said, "There is a second or even a third step in this plan."

"The second step?" Cai Yan's eyeballs rolled nimbly, as if she was trying to figure out what the second step was, but her talents were mostly used in literature and poetry, and she was not good at strategy, so Cai Yan couldn't guess. out.

Liu Qing gritted his teeth, and said bluntly: "The second step is to intermarry the two clans on the grounds of strengthening the contract. As an example, I want to marry Xianbei Wang Qianman Wangjie, Qianying."

Cai Yan's beautiful eyes flickered, responding to Liu Qing's gaze. From her eyes, Liu Qing didn't seem to be disappointed at all, but Liu Qing still found clues.

Originally, Cai Yan lowered his hand holding the letter unconsciously. In fact, there is no need to think about it at all. No woman is willing to share her man with other women. Even the emperor, the harem is the most insidious and cruel place to fight.

Liu Qing picked up Cai Yan's hanging hand and held it in his palm. Sure enough, Cai Yan struggled, but he didn't break free.

"Unhappy?"

"My husband is a clan relative of the Han Dynasty and a great hero in my heart. In fact, I have known for a long time that it is impossible for me to enjoy the love of my husband alone. But for some reason, I still feel unhappy when I hear this news, and I don't want to. That's it." Cai Yan pursed her mouth and murmured, Liu Qing's heart ached for being sensible.

He immediately moved his position and took Cai Yan into his arms.

"The third step is to make the child of the husband and the princess the king of Xianbei in the future?" Cai Yan speculated in his arms.

Well, when do women have the highest IQ?
When you find out that there are other women around a man!
The two hugged each other for a long time, and Liu Qing didn't explain much. At this time, it's fine to hug quietly.

"Husband, let's continue reading letters." Cai Yan said in his arms.

Cai Yan's statement like this shows that she has already dealt with her emotions, and the matter is considered to be over.

"Okay!" Liu Qing replied lightly.

Cai Yan continued to sit upright, laying out the silk book, while Liu Qing was talking, she was writing.

"I agree to build a horse farm to the west of Zhuwenze, and buy more high-quality stallions from Xianbei. In addition, Xianbei people have experience in raising horses, so we can also introduce some horse breeding and training talents."

After Liu Qing finished speaking, he coughed in embarrassment. If he really followed Guo Jia's third step plan, what would he be?
After Cai Yan finished writing, he took out another letter and began to read it carefully.

Liu Qing looked at her quietly. From this point of view, Cai Yan looked like his secretary.

"Husband, this is a letter from Zhang Wenyuan, sent from Lishi, saying that the channel for transferring refugees has been basically completed, and the refugees are entering Yanmen County along Xihe County, but the consumption of food is particularly serious. Yuan asked if he would continue to accept it, and the letter also mentioned that the situation in Hedong seems to be getting more complicated, and the fugitive coalition forces have already clashed with the Baibo army, but the imperial court seems to have no sign of supporting Hedong County."

After Cai Yan finished reading, she looked at Liu Qing.

Liu Qing thought for a while, and said: "Write a letter to Du Zan, ordering him to transport grain to support Lishi's grain and grass. Wuyuan County has a lot of stocks. In addition, let me mention it again, Bu Dugen, the leader's younger brother, led the army. Wan, has escaped from the big Han, if they can gain a foothold, they will probably attack the Han again in the near future, so we must take strict precautions against the Yinshan Pass."

Liu Qing watched Cai Yan finished writing, and said again the idea in his mind, "To Zhang..."

Liu Qing stopped suddenly, Cai Yan still didn't know about Zhang Ning's matter, and it's better not to let her know about his connection with the "remnants" of the Yellow Turban.

"Husband, what's the matter?" Cai Yan asked.

"It's nothing. I forgot what I wanted to say just now. Now that I think about it, I wrote a letter to Zhang Yun to ask him to pay close attention to the situation in Hedong County. The foreign coalition forces are the number one enemy. Don't let them go, and don't act rashly." Liu Qing said calmly.

Cai Yan wrote according to Liu Qing's words, and found nothing abnormal. Liu Qing smiled calmly, and finally bypassed the trap of "Zhang Ning".

"Husband, there is only one last letter left." Cai Yan said with a smile, and her tone was a little more relaxed. Obviously, even though she was accompanied by Liu Qing, handling these government affairs was too boring for her.

After all, what people are interested in is the piano, flute, poetry and books.

Cai Yan opened the letter, read it first, then frowned slightly and said: "This letter was written by Zhang Ning..."

When Liu Qing heard it, he felt a stab in his heart, and wanted to spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

Zhang Ning, a stupid woman, actually wrote a letter to herself with her real name. Did she think she didn't die fast enough?
Fortunately, Liu Qing didn't make any strange noises, and Cai Yan read as usual.

"Another [-] refugees gathered in Baibo Valley. At this time, the remaining coalition forces of Xianbei and the Southern Huns were raging in the hinterland of Hedong County. The imperial court still did not send reinforcements. If it was not for fear of exposing their strength, the mere [-] rebels, even the Baibo army, would have The shot is gone." Speaking of this, Cai Yan asked curiously: "Husband, is this a letter from Baibo Yellow Turban? Why did the Baibo Yellow Turban Army write to you? Who is this Zhang Ning?"

"Ahem~" Liu Qing woke up and denied it directly: "Zhang Ning is a secret agent, or a spy!"

"The Baibo Yellow Turban hides in the Baibo Valley, it's not an ordinary yellow scarf." Liu Qing explained.

Cai Yan hated Huang Jin very much, because Huang Jin threatened to plunder Yu County, blackmail her, and kidnap her.

If Liu Qing hadn't just arrived and defeated the Yellow Turban, he really didn't know what would have happened to him. Whenever Cai Yan thought of this incident, he always felt lingering fear.

"Yellow scarves are by no means good!" Liu Qing first brought his position to Cai Yan's agreement, and then turned around: "But there are also poor people among them, and not all of them are heinous people, at least most of them are helpless. Before anything happened, they opened up some land in the north of Baibo Valley for farming, and if the weather is good, the harvest from these fields can make them self-sufficient."

Cai Yan also found it inconceivable when he heard it. In this way, wouldn't he be more self-reliant than those yellow scarves in Yu County?
After all, in Yuxian County back then, it was Liu Qing who borrowed grain and seeds from everyone in Yuxian County, so that the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers had something to do. Without Liu Qing, they would still have to fend for themselves.

Compared with Baibo Yellow Turban, it pales in comparison.

"Another question is why the Baibo Yellow Turban sent me a letter. It was because I was keeping an eye on the Xianbei Southern Huns coalition army. I have never met this army, so they were lucky. But when I returned to Changshan from Hedong County, I met Baibo Yellow Turban, and left a pawn, although Baibo Yellow Turban is a rebel in name, but did not do evil, and it seems that they need their help to deal with the foreign allied forces."

Zhang Ning is his chess piece, there is nothing wrong with it, Liu Qing thought.

"Husband, how should I reply?" Cai Yan asked, obviously his doubts had been answered.

For some reason, Liu Qing was clearly dealing with official business, yet he had the illusion of dealing with his girlfriend checking his phone.

However, Zhang Ning's letter is best written by himself, Cai Yan's handwriting is too beautiful.

"Zhao Ji, this letter is a letter between me and the secret agent. I need to recognize the handwriting, so I should write this letter myself."

Cai Yan didn't even think about it, or he had already realized something, silently moved the silk book over, and at the same time handed the pen to Liu Qing, with a crooked smile, and said: "I've finished dealing with the letters, is my husband hungry? I'll go prepare some." Food and drink."

Liu Qing smiled, "Thank you Zhao Ji!"

Watching Cai Yan leave, Liu Qing wondered if she took the opportunity to leave on purpose?
The mind is too sensitive!
Liu Qing shook his head, put aside these wild thoughts, and began to write. The letter to Zhang Ning was actually very simple. Zhang Ning was kind-hearted and didn't want to see the people suffer, otherwise he would not have brought up the refugee issue.

However, Liu Qing's decision might disappoint her, because Liu Qing ordered him to retreat to Baibo Valley to avoid the coalition forces of Xianbei and the Southern Huns.

This wild army is currently a barrier in front of Lishi Fortress. Since Guo Jia has set up this situation, Liu Qing can't destroy it.

Furthermore, the more chaotic Hedong County, the more refugees, and finally fled to Lishi, and the more people entered Yanmen and Changshan. Population has always been the number one resource Liu Qing pursues, because although Changshan has a large population, but There are too many wastelands that can be reclaimed.

To build a granary in Jizhou, in that era, people could only rely on people to open up wasteland one by one.

This can be said to be a little cautious on Liu Qing's part.

Therefore, this foreign coalition army cannot move at the moment, and Zhang Ning must be very clearly warned to retreat to the Baibo Valley, directly cutting off her desire to compete.

Before the letter was finished, a sudden notification came from outside the study.

"My lord, a letter from Zhongshan Kingdom."

The messenger said, and delivered the letter to Liu Qing.

Who will write to me in Zhongshan?
When Liu Qingzhan saw the letter, he couldn't help smiling, it turned out to be a letter from Liu Xuande, as if he was here to thank Anxi County Magistrate.

Unexpected, but also reasonable.
