Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 178
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he lost his mind for a moment. The young master actually came to visit him in person?
"Go! Pick out the best tea leaves harvested in the past few days, as well as the Huangtai wine brought from Liangzhou, and cleanse the dust for you!"

The assistant obeyed his orders, secretly startled, thinking that although the master has always been generous, this imperial table wine is usually not given out to entertain guests.

Obviously the master attaches great importance to the prefect of Yanmen.

Dong Zhuo personally went to greet him at the gate of the mansion. When Liu Qing saw Dong Zhuo, he was wearing a black ordinary brocade clothes with a bulging belly, which showed that he was living a prosperous life.

Dong Zhuo wore neither official uniform nor seal and ribbon, just like an ordinary guest.

Liu Qing smiled and cupped his hands: "Congratulations to General Dong for being promoted to the State Shepherd, I'm here to pay a visit."

Dong Zhuo was also full of etiquette, "Young Master, it is an honor to come, please!"

Seeing Dong Zhuo being so respectful, Liu Qing felt a little more confident about this trip.

The hot tea is brewed well, exuding a faint fragrance.

"I don't know that the young master is here, what can I teach you?"

"Hey, General Dong is now the governor of the state, Qing should call him Dong Shijun, why come to see him and teach him."

Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "How dare you? In front of Zang Min, I dare to call you an envoy. The young master is Zhuo Zhi's life-saving benefactor. Zhuo is today thanks to the young master's guidance. We don't think we are any virtuous people." , but the law of repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge is still known!"

Dong Zhuo is really a straightforward person, he has no airs, and he repays his favor one by one, but he has always been belligerent, and he has no respect for human life, otherwise, he can really be regarded as a plastic talent.

"Dong Shijun is serious." Liu Qing replied indifferently.

Dong Zhuo pretended to take a sip of tea, but he didn't know how it tasted, and he was thinking about how to test Mr. Liu Qing, why don't he ask for advice first.

"My lord, have you ever heard of the changes in Jizhou?" Dong Zhuo asked.

The change in Jizhou was the last time. Now that Liu Hong has returned to Luoyang, this incident has spread to most of the world.

Liu Qing nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Young Master is smart, I don't know how to treat this matter?"

Liu Qing glanced at the teacup, the tea leaves were floating and sinking, and said slowly, "The Yellow Turban Rebellion is a civil rebellion, and Wang Fen's rebellion is a government rebellion. Both the government and the people will change, and Luoyang will be in chaos!"

Luoyang will be in chaos?When Dong Zhuo heard this, his heart tightened for no reason.

"I also heard that Budugen has returned to the grassland and is now raising troops. There may be no peace in the north of Bingzhou. You must be prepared." Liu Qing threw out another message, but now Xianbei is It was not Budugen who raised his troops, but Qianying.

Dong Zhuo sighed, "I already know about the Xianbei matter, the prefect of Yunzhong, Le He, has sent an urgent report."

Oh?Liu Qing was a little surprised, it seemed that the prefect of Yunzhong had unintentionally done him a favor.

"Your Majesty, please report to the imperial court quickly and send the army to support. Although I have some troops in hand, I can do ambushes. If I face the army, Yanmen can't stop it. When the time comes, the Xianbei army will go straight into Taiyuan. Don't let Taiyuan County also become Hedong County." Liu Qingyi pointed out.

Dong Zhuo is the former governor of Hedong County, and no one knows the situation of Hedong better than him.

Although the coalition forces of Xianbei and the Southern Huns had been defeated, a mixed army that crossed the river ahead of time wreaked havoc in Hedong County. However, the imperial court was anxious to regain Liangzhou.

This year's autumn harvest, Hedong County may be greatly affected.

Dong Zhuo hesitated for a while, thinking about it, and then said: "Young master reminded that Zhuo immediately called the police, but if it is true that what you said, Luoyang will be chaotic, what should we do?"

Liu Qing smiled in his heart, Dong Zhuo had been drawn into this vortex by him.

Bingzhou is in danger, and the court has no support. As a shepherd of Bingzhou, what should I do?When he hesitated for a while, he must be thinking about his Xiliang army.

However, Liu Qing's assumptions are, more precisely, historical facts. Once Liu Hong has a problem, the power vacuum will inevitably lead to competition among various forces. Once Luoyang is in chaos, the frontiers will have to resign themselves to fate.

Historically, after the death of Liu Hong, Luoyang was in great chaos, and the entire state of Liangzhou was separatist, and most of Bingzhou was occupied by the Eastern Qiang people and the Southern Huns. Liangzhou did not return until Han Suimateng returned. The original land of Shuofang Xihe in Shangjun was not recovered by the Three Kingdoms in the end.

Now all of this is about to happen again, the only difference is that Liu Qing is a few years ahead of schedule, and it's not that Liu Qing, a butterfly, has too much influence.

Rather, careerists will not let go of such opportunities.

Now, Dong Zhuo's ambition is also growing rapidly, but Liu Qing is just throwing out a bait that does not belong to him.

"You think Bingzhou is more important, or Luoyang?" Liu Qing looked at Dong Zhuo solemnly and said.

"Of course Luo Yang is important!" Dong Zhuo replied without hesitation.

Liu Qing raised the teacup to drink, then shook his head and put it down, saying: "Since Luoyang is important, not only will the imperial court not send troops, but I am afraid that the king will lead troops into Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo stared, his dark eyes brightened a bit.

Just now he was still thinking, if Xianbei violated the border, would he want to bring the Xiliang army into Bingzhou to defend against the enemy, but now he thought, if there is chaos in Luoyang, is it more important to go to Luoyang to stop the chaos?

"Young master has an extraordinary vision, and he speaks clearly about the pros and cons of everything. No wonder he can win every battle!" Dong Zhuo first boasted, and then said: "Luoyang is important, but Bingzhou is also important. If you don't get support , what should I do, my lord?"

Liu Qing thought: I still think of me at this time, thank you!

From some places, this Dong Zhuo really looked like an honest man, who even helped count the money when he was sold.

Liu Qing endured the pain and sighed again, with a bit of generosity: "Bianjun County in Bingzhou, I will wait for the prefect of Bianjun County to guard, the soldiers of Bianjun County will come to fight, and the people of Bianjun County will come to help."

Dong Zhuo's respect for Liu Qing rose a bit again. When the country is in crisis, he is willing to stand up and guard the gate of the country. He is truly unparalleled in the country!

It's a pity that the imperial court was blind, and the ten permanent servants acted against the will, bewitching the saint, and letting such a bright pearl be dusted. This Bingzhou shepherd should be granted to the son!
"Son."

Liu Qing looked at Dong Zhuo and listened quietly.

"I still have some soldiers in my hands!" Dong Zhuo said suddenly.

Liu Qing still had the same expression, without the slightest surprise, as if to say: Aren't some soldiers and horses normal?

But there was something else in his heart, the soldiers and horses that Dong Zhuo mentioned were his trump cards, the Xiliang Army.

How much did Dong Zhuo trust him to tell the whole story?
Looking at the heartbroken Dong Zhuo, Liu Qing felt a little intolerable.

Is this still the legendary demon king Dong Zhuo who kills people without blinking an eye and always boils and eats his opponents?

Perhaps this is the predecessor of the evil dragon, the hot-blooded boy.

There was still a hint of complexity in Liu Qing's eyes, and he said jokingly: "It is a great thing to have soldiers and horses!"

Dong Zhuo asked seriously: "If there are both internal and external troubles, and I have soldiers in my hands, should I first defend against the outside? Or should I stay inside?"

Liu Qing thought for a while, and suddenly remembered a notorious "famous saying".

"If you fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside!" Liu Qing solemnly said.

……

In Liangzhou in August, it was the hottest time. Hanyang County still belonged to the Han region in name, but what Gai Xun had guarded before was only a few cities, and a large area of ​​land was still owned by the rebel Qiang.

The Fu family has a great reputation in Liangzhou, and Fu Xie's reputation from the deputy general of Huangfusong to the chief general in charge of Jizhou's military is also very high. Therefore, before Fu Xie took office, many rebels were already discussing how to join.

The news that the Qiang people surrendered in anticipation also severely slapped the new Situ Cui Lie who advocated abandoning Liangzhou in the face.

Fu Xie was not only good at leading the army, but also very thoughtful in governing the county. He learned from Changshan County to suppress the bandits, resettle the refugees, open up wasteland and farmland, and care for the people. In just a short time, he brought a new look to the devastated Hanyang County.

But at this moment, Liangzhou suddenly changed to a governor.

Geng Bi has just taken office, and he also thinks about the three fires of the new official. However, looking at Liangzhou, it is only Hanyang County that can govern well. Knowing how to seek personal gain for oneself, soon complained.

It didn't take long for the fire to reach the kingdom in Hanyang.

The Kingdom of the Kingdom led the Di and Qiang tribes to rise up, and the momentum was huge for a while. At this time, Han Sui, the leader of Qiangliang, also wiped out Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, and once again gathered a large army, known as one hundred thousand, and marched into Longxi. The governor of Longxi, Li Xiangru, had no choice but to rebel. Vote for the Qiang army.

Geng Bi was startled when the rebel army rose again. He didn't expect to stab a hornet's nest not long after he took office, so he urgently recruited soldiers to fight, and asked Zhang Wen of Chencang for help.

When Fu Xie heard about it, he went to pay a visit to Geng Bi, and pointed out bluntly: "The governor's new policy is unpopular. Even if soldiers are recruited, they will be a group of eccentric mobs. There is no chance of winning the battle with the rebels. There are many dangers."

"If you want to successfully suppress the rebellion, you should suspend the war, train your troops, and improve the administration of officials. However, the rebels have ordered many doors. Seeing that the Han army retreated for a while, they will definitely feel arrogant, and then try to divide the rebels. They are fighting among themselves, and only then will the master of the king send his troops to attack, and then they will succeed in one fell swoop."

If Cao Cao listened to it, he would definitely appreciate it. When Cao Cao conquered Han Sui and Ma Chao, he was also at a disadvantage in the first battle.

However, Geng Bi is not Cao Cao, Fu Xie's ability, Fu Xie's name, he is jealous and jealous, and greedy for success, he still did not adopt Fu Xie's suggestion.

Not long after, Fu Xie, who was busy in the county mansion, heard another bad news.

When Geng Bi besieged Didao County in Longxi, the army commander Ma Teng suddenly rebelled, sworn brothers with Han Sui, and became brothers with different surnames.

The Han army was defeated, Geng Bi and Cheng Qiu died in the rebellion, and many soldiers simply surrendered. The situation in Liangzhou suddenly deteriorated, and more than [-] rebel Qiang invaded Jixian County of Hanyang County again.

When Fu Xie heard the news, he lost his mind for a moment.

Everything he did in Hanyang County fell short.

For Geng Bi's conquest plan, not only all the elite were mobilized, but all the food and grass in the city were also supplied. How can Ji County defend against an army of tens of thousands?

"Father?"

Hearing the sound, Fu Xie raised his head and saw his son Fu Gan came to the study at some time.

"You don't go to study, what are you doing here?" Fu Xie blamed.

"When the rebel army came, Ji County would be destroyed in just a few days. He was about to die, and he still read so much!" Fu Gan said.

Fu Xie looked at his son curiously, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

"Are you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid, I don't want to die, and I don't want my father to die."

Fu Xie sighed, did not speak, called the chief secretary Yang Hui, and they came to the city of Ji County together.

At this time, outside the city of Ji County, there are already camps everywhere, and there is absolutely no possibility of breaking through.

"I thought that Hanyang County would gradually improve like Changshan County, but I didn't expect to be ruined by Geng Bi's battle, and Hanyang is over!"

Yang Hui sighed, feeling his heart bleed. Although he didn't know what Changshan County Fu Xie was talking about, the previous Hanyang County was getting better under his nose.

"Prefect Fu! Come down!"

"Yeah, drop it!"

Several shouts came from outside the city.

According to Fu Xie's reputation, there are thousands of cavalry, the first few of them are all familiar faces.

They were originally the cavalry of Hanyang County!
The cavalry stepped forward, dismounted their horses and kowtowed. The leader said: "Although we are Qianghu people, we also defended the city for the big man and shed blood. This defeat is not the fault of Fu Taishou. I beg the eunuch not to burn everything!"

Fu Xie sneered in his heart, a group of traitors who defected to the enemy actually came back to persuade him to surrender.

However, he didn't laugh at them, but at himself, at Geng, and at Chaotang.

"If you rebel, you are the enemy of Fu Xie. If you want to attack, you will attack, and you will die!" Fu Xie said.

Fu Gan stared blankly at his father, and Yang Hui shook his head helplessly.

"The prefect is loyal, and we are helpless. We have received the favor of the prefect before, but have not repaid it. How dare we do harm? We are willing to swear that if the prefect abandons Ji County, we will immediately withdraw from the rebel army and escort the prefect back to his hometown!"

Behind these thousands of cavalry came the huge army of Qiang rebels. Han Sui and Ma Teng were riding in front, looking at the group of cavalry who "surrendered to the enemy".

The generals on the side were a little surprised, the behavior of these guys was tantamount to joining the enemy, but the two chief generals were indifferent.

Ma Teng sighed: "If there are more big men like Fu Xie's generals, why are we here?"

Han Sui just glanced at him and didn't speak.

Fu Gan pulled Fu Xie's robe, "Father, eunuchs and traitors can't tolerate you, so I sent you to guard the border. Now this land is too difficult to defend by itself. It's better to rely on these soldiers who appreciate father's kindness and return home first. "

When Fu Xie looked at his son, his heart was full of emotions, and he seemed to have a great reason in his belly and wanted to educate his son.

Because of the violence of King Zhou, Boyi died without eating Zhou millet, Confucius praised him as a virtuous man.

What is the reward of eating the emperor, the matter of loyalty to the emperor, and the festival of guarding the general.

But he couldn't open his mouth anyway.

He looked at the weeping soldiers below the city, and suddenly thought of someone in his heart.

Fu Xie let out a long sigh, looked at Yang Hui, and said, "Today sticking to the isolated city and dying in battle here is enough to honor our reputation of loyalty, but..."

Yang Hui didn't understand what he was going to say, sitting in a lonely city, dying for the country, and dying generously, why did he suddenly say "but".

Unable to continue, Fu Xie took out a letter silently and handed it to Yang Hui.

Yang Hui reached out to take it, and it turned out to be a rare paper letter. On the envelope was Fu Xie's personal letter, but the word "Xie" was written sloppily and pasted into a lump, and other characters were also very ordinary.

Letting go of his contempt for words, Yang Huizhan's eyes could not help but gradually widen when he read it.
