Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 170 Do you want to save Liu Hong?

No matter what task Liu Qing wanted to assign, Gao Shun readily accepted it.

"Let's go, discuss matters in the middle account!" Liu Qing said, and walked straight to the center of the barracks.

Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun all followed.

In half a month, it will be the day of Liu Hong's sacrifice. As for when he will leave, Luo Yang's eyeliner will be watching him. What is uncertain now is which way he will go.

A group of people came to the map.

Liu Qing went straight to the point and said: "There are two roads from Luoyang to Jizhou, the north and the south. The north road goes directly from Hanoi County to Wei County of Jizhou, and then this road passes through Heishan. The Black Mountain army is rampant now. Liu Hong should not take the north road, but the south road. The road passes through Dongjun, crosses the Dahe River and enters Jizhou, but the exact route is not known."

After Liu Qing finished speaking, he looked at Guo Jia.

"My lord, it is enough for our army to enter Guangping and wait for orders. The county magistrate of Guangping was recommended by Duke Ju, so he naturally believed it, and it is also very close to Guangzong." Guo Jia said.

"Guangzong, what do you mean by filial piety?"

"In the past, General Huangfu built a grand palace in Guangzong. How could His Majesty want to miss it? Although I don't know how Wang Fen used his troops, but according to common sense, it should be after the sacrifice. At this time, the guards are very easy to relax their vigilance."

Zhao Yun and Gao Shun looked at each other, what are the lord and the military adviser talking about?

His Majesty?Guard?
Let your guard down?

Does the Lord want it?
"Wang Fen is in Ye County. If His Majesty is escorted by the Xiyuan Army, he will not dare to act rashly. He will greet His Majesty first, and then escort His Majesty. My lord, you only need to keep an eye on Wang Fen. Moreover, as Wang Fen Fen's troops are absolutely powerless to contend head-on with the Xiyuan army, and they must resort to the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to succeed."

"Remove the West Garden Army? Will he plot rebellion again?"

Hearing the word "rebellion", the two honest people Zhao Yun and Gao Shun had a flash of surprise in their eyes, as if they were slightly aware that their next mission was very, very important.

Guo Jia replied with a calm demeanor, "Or drive the tigers and swallow the wolves. Wei County of Ye County is located in Ji County, and it is connected to Sili. Such an important place, how can the Black Mountain Army pass through Wei County without bloodshed? Enter Julu County and attack Yantao?"

Liu Qing froze for a moment, looking at the map.

To be honest, he didn't quite believe that it was Wang Fen's handwriting. As a person, he probably wouldn't do it deliberately.

Most likely, when he was accumulating strength for the "major event", he was taken advantage of by the Black Mountain Army, and ignored Dong Zhao's request for help, so Dong Zhaocai asked Changshan County, Zhongshan County and others for help.

For this reason, Liu Qing also planned to stage a play to seek Zhongshan County.

First drove Zhang Niujiao's Black Mountain Army to Zhongshan County, then led the army to "support", established wartime order, and took over Zhongshan County in disguise.

But judging from the current situation, time seems to be too late, this matter can only be put behind the matter of Wang Fen, and there are still variables, because Wang Fen may lead it to Anping Kingdom, blocking Liu Hong's retreat.

Guo Jia looked at the thoughtful Liu Qing, and suddenly asked, "My lord, what kind of situation does this matter develop, which is what the lord wants?"

In other words, what is the objective of this military operation.

"We can't let him retreat completely, and we can't die in Jizhou." Liu Qing directly used the pronoun "he" to describe Liu Hong.

There is still some virtue in his mouth, after all, "he" is still the emperor.

Guo Jia nodded, and suddenly said loudly: "Zhao Yun! Gao Shun!"

When giving an order, call him by his first name.

"The two of you immediately lead our troops to Guangping County to stand by. I will lead the recruits with Zhu Ling." Guo Jia turned to Liu Qing, "My lord, you should not be in Jizhou for the entire July. My lord, go back to Bingzhou first. If you have leisure time, you can go to Taiyuan County for a walk, Dong Zhuo should be almost here."

Guo Jia made an alibi for himself, and he also needed witnesses, including Dong Zhuo, the state herdsman, and a prominent family in Taiyuan County.

"Decree!" Zhao Yun and Gao Shun replied in unison.

"It's up to you, Tiger Guard will stay to protect you, and Dian Wei will be taken away by me." Liu Qing said.

With Guo Jia around, Liu Qing was very relieved. Although the young Guo Jia still had a stubborn and willful personality, he was confident and steady when planning with troops.

Liu Qing smiled and returned to Yuan's mansion, intending to say goodbye to everyone.

In the bedroom, Liu Qing saw that Cai Yan was working as a female worker, and there was Xingzhi chirping "pointing" beside her.

Cai Yan is not good at doing this. There are professional female workers in the mansion who sew clothes for everyone. He just made a few pieces for Liu Qing symbolically to express his heart. The one in his hand is autumn clothes.

The great heat has passed, and in a few days, it will be the beginning of autumn.

"Husband."

Cai Yan called softly, as if she knew that Liu Qing had something to say, and waited quietly.

"I have something to do in Yanmen, I need to go back, will you go with me?" Liu Qing said.

Cai Yan suddenly lowered his head, and the trace of loneliness on his face was fleeting. When he looked up at Liu Qing, he shook his head and said with a smile, "Father has already replied. He should be coming to Changshan soon. I want to stay and wait."

Liu Qing stepped forward and sat down beside Cai Yan, and moved to her side after sitting down, the maid Xingzhi exited the bedroom knowingly.

"You can just order the servants to do these things!" Liu Qing said softly, taking away the semi-finished product she was sewing, putting it aside, and skillfully took Cai Yan into his arms.

"Father-in-law is here, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with Jiefeng wine. It's time to make wine. Tell Ju Gong what kind of wine father-in-law likes. He cares most about brewing wine."

Cai Yan nodded, didn't speak, just slipped into Liu Qing's arms.

"After the father-in-law came to the Yuan family, if he wanted to teach, he would tell Yuan Hao that the two of them knew each other well, and any request would be satisfied. If the father-in-law had disciples to follow, and the Yuan family also had many children from wealthy families, he could ask the disciples to teach him again. .”

"My husband is very thoughtful."

"Ju Gong is planning a school, maybe when his father-in-law arrives, this matter will also make some progress."

A touch of emotion surged in Cai Yan's heart, she could feel that her husband hurriedly promoted this matter because of her and her father-in-law Cai Yong.

Of course, Liu Qing also had other considerations in mind, for example, with the help of Cai Yong's father and daughter's reputation, he could quickly make a name for the school and attract talents from all over the world.

"Husband."

"Ok?"

"You haven't heard me play the piano for a long time."

"Then I'll listen now?"

"it is good!"

……

In Wei County and Guantao County, an army of tens of thousands of people slowly marched northward. The "Han" flag was held high, and the flag covered the sky.

But they didn't hurry, there were still more than ten days, enough time for them to reach their destination - Lecheng County, Hejian Country.

This is the team of Liu Hong's northern tour.

Entering Wei County, Wang Fen led an army of two thousand to meet Emperor Han and joined the royal team.

Sitting in the chariot, Liu Hong looked at the receding scenery outside the window. The fields were full of greenery and full of food crops.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Jizhou suffered a lot from the Yellow Turban, but still didn't abolish the agriculture. Wang Fen did a good job!"

Zhang Rang waited beside him, and replied cautiously: "Wang Inspector has joined the team, will your Majesty summon him?"

"no need."

In fact, Liu Hong knew in his heart that although Wang Fen was capable, agricultural production must be owned by Huangfusong, Fu Xie, the soldiers of the Chinese army, and "that person".

That person was naturally Liu Qing.

"Your Majesty, the Black Mountain Army is currently active in Wei County and Julu County. Our army should hurry up." Zhang Rang reminded.

"I led the Xiyuan Army here, and the eight captains are here, so why not be afraid!" Liu Hong said confidently, "Where is the front?"

"Going back to Your Majesty, Qingyuan County is in front of you. After passing Qingyuan County, you will be Qinghe Country. If you go to the north, you will be Guangzong County in Julu County."

"Is that the city that Zhang Jiao is defending? I heard that General Huangfu built a capital with hundreds of thousands of yellow scarf army corpses. I should lead the army to observe it, so as to show the army's prestige!"

"Follow the order!" Zhang Rang said, and sent the order out of the car.

The generals walking in front are all Lieutenants of the Xiyuan Military Academy, led by Jian Shuo, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others are among them.

Zhang Rang sent an order: "Lieutenant Jian, Your Majesty has an order to change the route to the north and march towards Guangzong."

When everyone heard this, everyone looked brilliant. Obviously, most people wanted to see and see. In the battle of Guangzong, Zhang Jiao gathered 30 to [-] troops, but was defeated by the Han army, beheading tens of thousands. What a battlefield like this chill.

Except for Cao Cao and Bao Hong, all the captains have never participated in a real battle.Cao Cao has been fighting against the Yellow Turban Army since Yingchuan, while Bao Hong, as You Fufeng, participated in the Battle of Meiyang.

However, this does not prevent Cao Cao from yearning for it. He always thought: Guangzong, that is the place where Mr. Liu Qing made his achievements. Outsiders only know that Liu Qing killed Zhang Jiao, but after inquiring, Cao Cao knew a little more, not only Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang all died at the hands of Liu Qing.

He also knew: Jushou, the prefect of Changshan, had served Liu Qing when he was the official Guangping Ling, and he also knew something about his raising Liu Qing.

Now, Jushou has become the prefect of a county, and his official position is equal to that of Liu Qing. Cao Cao can't help feeling that Mr. Liu Qing's methods are really good.

In addition to emotion, there is envy.

Originally, Jinan had already been obtained, but was suddenly recalled to Luoyang by Liu Hong, depressed.

"Munde!"

Cao Cao regained consciousness from his thoughts, and looked at Yuan Shao who came by his side.

"What happened in the first place?"

Yuan Shao smiled, "I heard that Meng De met Liu Qing?"

Cao Cao nodded and did not deny it, so he was facing Yuan Benchu. If it was someone else, Cao Cao would choose to deny it.

"I heard that this man moved to various counties and killed the Yellow Turban. Even Zhang Jiao was beheaded by him himself. In Luoyang City, the rumors are amazing." Yuan Shao paused, and immediately leaned his body towards Cao Cao, "This matter Is there really one?"

"Ho ho~" Cao Cao smiled without saying a word.

"Why is Meng De laughing?"

"I laugh at the fact that I was ignorant of current affairs at the beginning. If Mr. Liu Qing's meritorious service was not worthwhile, how could General Huangfu fight head-on with the Ten Permanent Attendants on the court?" Zhang Rang, who sent the letter, had gone away, and then continued: "Then Zhao Changshi was deprived of his old house because of this, and moreover, if the son's official worship of the Yanmen prefect, if the credit is worthless, you think His Majesty will reward you, but he Son of the King of Bohai!"

When it came to the content after "Your Majesty", Cao Cao's voice was already negligible.

Yuan Shao listened quietly, nodded slightly, then suddenly thought of something, and said, "Can Meng De introduce you, Young Master?"

Yuan Shao also imitated Cao Cao's address.

"To be honest, my son and I not only have a little friendship, but also a relationship!" Cao Cao said with a little complacency, and he couldn't help but put on a show in front of this buddy.

Just like in Deyuju, when introducing some famous new friends, there is always this emotion: This is my friend!

"That……"

Cao Cao stroked his beard, with a troubled expression on his face, "The young master is far away in Yanmen County, you and I both have errands, how can I introduce you?"

Cao Cao kicked the question back to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was also speechless. It was Yuan Kai's idea to make friends with Liu Qing.

In Yuan Kai's eyes, it was just right to entrust this task to Yuan Shao. One, Yuan Shao, as the chief eldest son of the Yuan family, could represent the Yuan family. He is very different.

After Liu Qing became the Marquis of Wuzhou, the brilliance of his body could no longer be concealed. Neither He Jin nor Yuan Kai could ignore him anymore, and they had to win over him with a clear stand, because they knew that Liu Qing's power in the court was blank.

Yuan Shao frowned, found some time, and said: "It's time to wait, you and I will take leave and go for a trip outside the Great Wall!"

Cao Cao continued to smile, but did not speak.

……

It took another two days from Guantao to Guangzong.

Before Liu Hong left the chariot for the first time and came to the Jingguan with a sword in his hand, the Jingguan was actually a mound of soil, compacted into a pyramid shape, nearly three feet high, and standing in front of him was like standing in front of a small mountain.

In the past few months, many weeds have grown on the Jingguan, adding a bit of desolation. Maybe in a few years, this place will really become a hill.

Looking at Guangzong not far away, the environment here is indeed completely different from what he saw on the road.

There are still many war wounds left here, the ground blackened by the flames of war, abandoned and dilapidated camp logs, and even the fertile fields around Guangzong are all barren.

One, spring plowing was missed because of the war; two, Guangzong was already an empty city, and Huangfu Song slaughtered all the "yellow scarves" in the city.

For some reason, Liu Hong did not reap the so-called military power, but instead had a tinge of gloom over his originally comfortable mood. He returned to the chariot sullenly, and ordered to continue northward.

Cao Cao, on the other hand, stared blankly at the bleak scene in front of him, as if he was reminded of the state of wartime. An inexplicable emotion was accumulated in his heart.

The convoy set off again, turning northeast.

……

A war horse galloped into the brightly lit Quang Binh in the night.

In the past few days, Guo Jia has set up campfires at the city gate and at the top of the city, so that even at night, the sentries can bring the news back as soon as possible.

Guo Jia lived in Liu Qing's former residence and listened to the report of Qishao.

"Master Wang has left Guangzong and headed northeast."

Guo Jia moved the pebbles on the map slightly to show Master Wang's current location, and he still had a letter in his hand from Yanmen.

The content of the letter is only a few words.

"Zhang Niujiao has stopped attacking Yantao."

In the dim candlelight, Guo Jia showed a slight smile. Since Zhang Niujiao made a move, it is not difficult to judge what will happen next.

Guo Jia suddenly called out: "Zilong!"

In the darkness, a black figure suddenly squirmed and walked to Guo Jia's side.

Guo Jia pointed at the map, "Do you still remember the place where our army flooded Zhang Bao?"

Zhao Yun nodded, "Remember!"

"The water here is small in summer and the reeds are dense. Zilong led the cavalry of his headquarters to hide here. He paid close attention to the position of Zhang Niujiao and reported it to me every day."

"Here!"

"Father of Filial Piety! You lead your troops along Fuliu and Xiabo. This road leads to Hejian Lecheng. It is still smooth. You need to march quickly, and you must not be caught by Zhang Niujiao!"

"Military commanders don't worry about it. If you fall into the camp, you will set off tonight. If you don't go to the blog, you will never stop!" Gao Shun promised.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Fearful father, there is no need to be too hasty. The soldiers need to maintain their combat strength and not be too tired. There is still some time before the battle begins. Send a cavalry post so that you don't want to be discovered!"

"Here!"

After Gao Shun said, he went out with Zhao Yun, the house became quiet again, and another person walked out in the dark.

"Military Master, what about me?" Zhu Ling asked.

"Wash and sleep!" After Guo Jia finished speaking, she also walked outside
……

　I'm really sorry, I'm very busy, and the update time has been pushed back by almost a day.
