Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 201: Ding Yuan's Predicament, Yuan Kai's Attack (5K)

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Kai in surprise.

Wang Fen and Xu You, why did Uncle know the whereabouts of these two people?Could it be...

"I know what you suspect, but you worry too much"

Yuan Kai's timely explanation did not make Yuan Shao continue to dream.

"The matter of the Marquis of Hefei was not planned by me. It was Wang Fen who failed and fled to Bohai County and asked for my protection. Zhu Ao, the magistrate of Yangxin County, is the son of an old man. Have you heard of Heng Fang?"

Yuan Shao shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

"When Hengfang was there, he went to Jingzhaoyin as an official, a captain of the infantry. He was old with me. Before he died, he entrusted his student Zhu Deng to my care. Zhu Deng once erected a monument for his teacher, named Hengfangbei. His son Zhu Ao , and now he trusts officials in Yang." Yuan Kui slowly told an old story.

Yuan Shao was secretly surprised. This is the background of the Yuan family. You can find contacts in any place. Bohai Yangxin is already on the coast of the East China Sea. Yuan Shao's knowledge of him is only that there is such a place.

"After you go to Bohai Sea, meet the two of them, and Zhu Ao will follow your orders."

Yuan Shao nodded again, gaining more confidence in the trip to the Bohai Sea.

"As for the soldiers and horses, I will present Chunyu Qiong as the Captain of Bohai Sea, and I will recruit and train soldiers and horses for you."

Yuan Kai explained word by word, Yuan Shao nodded from time to time, and showed surprise from time to time. Until today, he has a new understanding of the saying "Yuan's disciples and old officials are all over the world".

"Uncle, Meng De is also in Jizhou, responsible for arresting Wang Fen." Yuan Shao said.

Yuan Kai smiled and said: "Don't take Meng De too simple. It is a wise move for him to stay in Jizhou this time. To avoid standing in line is to avoid fighting. This time, the fight for the emperor has shifted from secret fighting to fighting. Ming Zheng, even you are not spared, He Jin, He Miao, Dong Zhong and others died unexpectedly, and it may be even worse in the days to come, well, the matter has been explained, you go!"

"Uncle is in Luoyang, please take care!" Yuan Shao got up and saluted, took his leave and left.

……

Changshan, Jizhou, Yuanshi Camp.

According to the established plan, Zhang Niujiao agreed to cooperate and lead more than a thousand Black Mountain troops into Zhaojun. However, according to the three chapters of the contract with Liu Qing, Zhang Niujiao's trip was a bluff and no burning, killing, or looting was allowed.

Gao Shun and Zhu Ling each led a battalion of two thousand troops, with Gao Shun as the chief general and Zhu Ling as the deputy general. Today they pledged to be masters.

The two battalions lined up in formation, Liu Qing rode a golden spear and led the heavily armed guards, walking through the camp, majestic and full of fighting spirit.

Many of these two battalions are new recruits. For Liu Qing, the lord, most of them have heard of the famous name, but they have never met.

What they didn't expect was that before the expedition, the lord came to see them off in person, and the leader walked in front of them once.

"My lord, is this here specially for us to see the true face?" A recruit in the back row whispered.

"Idiot, it's the lord who came to see us!" A voice behind him corrected in a low voice.

"Look at the guard behind the lord, that body is full of iron bumps, tsk tsk, I'm afraid I can't wear it."

"Nonsense, the lord's guards are all born with supernatural powers, and the guards are strictly screened. Haven't you heard that the lord led more than a dozen guards and defeated tens of thousands of yellow scarves!"

The recruits whispered about everything, from Liu Qing, to Jin Ge, to the guards behind him, all talking about it, until one of them was kicked by the army Sima, and everyone shut up.

After the simple ceremony, Gao Shun led the troops to set off. Looking at the slowly leaving army, Guo Jia beside him sighed, "Since the beginning of this battle, my lord has embarked on the road to calm the troubled times."

"One county, one county, one prefecture, keep your feet on the ground." Liu Qing said lightly.

"My lord, it's time for us to go to Julu. I have sent people to Weijun to spread rumors, saying that Wang Fen is in Weijun. After my lord takes over Julu County, the public opinion in Weijun will also mature." Guo Jiadao.

"Then lead the way, County Magistrate Yantao." Liu Qing joked.

Guo Jia smiled helplessly when he heard the words. He, the magistrate of Changtao County, was just a temporary post, and Dong Zhao is still governing Changtao County now.

"In the past, when I left Guangping and arrived at Yanmen, I never thought that when I returned to Julu again, it was already..." Liu Qing was at a loss for words and didn't know how to express it.

It probably means that in the past, the whole family moved away from the small county of Guangping, but now that they come back, they own the entire Julu County.

The distance between Yuanshi County and Yantao County is only a hundred miles, if you travel quickly, you can arrive in two days.

But Liu Qing was not in a hurry, and arrived at Changtao County on the third day.

When Dong Zhao heard about it, he immediately went out to greet him. This was the first time he had met him.

Although it was recommended by Guo Jia to join at the beginning, Liu Qing's name and the fact that Changshan County is excellent cannot be faked, so Dong Zhao still looks forward to Liu Qing very much.

When he came outside the city gate, Guo Jia pointed to the top of the city and said to Liu Qing, "My lord, I planted this flag with my own hands!"

Liu Qing looked up, the sun was not strong and the wind was not strong today, the flag could only reveal the word "Liu" when it was slightly unfolded.

"I don't know the number of people surnamed Liu. Next time you build a flag, remember to write Liu Qing on it." Liu Qing said without humility.

Dong Zhao greeted the group of people and made a great loyalty salute.

"Xiaguan Tao Changshi Dong Zhao, pay homage to the lord!"

Liu Qing has a strong figure, he jumped off the horse, trotted forward, and helped Dong Zhao up. The three movements were extremely skillful, which can be called one strong and three consecutive.

"Gongren is a great talent. It's really wronged to live in this city of spinning horses. I have Gongren, and it will definitely give Gongren a chance to show off his talents!"

"My lord, thank you Dong Zhao!"

System: Congratulations to the lord for subduing [Dong Zhao].

Liu Qing was overjoyed, he immediately helped Dong Zhao up, and said with a smile, "From today onwards, the magistrate of Yantao County will be yours, Dong Gongren!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Dong Zhao thanked again.

Just as Liu Qing was about to lead a few people into the city, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes at the gate of the city.

Several people looked at it and recognized the person who came, it was Julu prefect Guo Dian, who was driving his horse.

He stopped beside Dong Zhao, gave him a secret wink, and blamed him in a low voice: "Master, why didn't you notify me in advance when you come here!"

Dong Zhao was in trouble, and he had just been notified!

Dong Zhao was about to explain, but Liu Qing took the words.

"Mr. Guo, I don't blame Gongren for this matter. I came here at will and didn't inform you in advance. Gongren just found out about it."

When Dong Zhao heard this, he felt strange. Unexpectedly, the first time they met, the lord would speak for him and take the responsibility.

System: Dong Zhao's loyalty has increased by 10%, currently 80%.

Whoa!One sentence won Dong Zhao's favor.

"Guo Dian came out and greeted you late, and you have neglected your son, you are guilty!" Guo Dian bowed to Liu Qing.

"Let's go into the city and talk!"

The two led Liu Qing and his party to the county mansion. Liu Qing rode on a golden weapon, looked around, and looked at the scene of Changtao.

Yantao is an old city. It was recorded in the time of Yao and Shun. Thinking of my father, who was once demoted to the king of Yantao, this step and scene may have the footprints of my father.

Not knowing where to start, Liu Qing began to cherish the memory of King Bohai, which was an emotion he had never felt in the past few years.

Perhaps it was because as he grew up, his identity could no longer be escaped, and Liu's royal blood began to awaken.

Maybe it's because of the trip to Chang'an, it's hard to calm down as a father.

Maybe it's because of the family affection brought by Wannian.

In short, whether it is Yantao County or Julu County, they are all their own now.

In the county hall, Guo Dian formally pledged his allegiance, and Liu Qing gained a command rate of 0.7, which increased the command rate to 63.25.

"My lord's heart, my lord's aspirations, I have already told you all, Guo Dian is not talented, and if you can't write a book, you can't do it, but you are willing to guard one side of the territory, protect one side of the people, and contribute to the great cause of the lord!" Guo Dian said sincerely.

Liu Qing responded with a smile, pointed at Guo Jia and Dian Wei, and said with a smile: "I got Guo first, then Dian, and now I get Guo Dian again. In the dark, there will be days! Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed together, and the atmosphere in the county mansion was very relaxed.

It is true that Guo Dian is not outstanding in terms of attributes, but his grades are outstanding. He is today thanks to his father's recommendation back then, as well as his hard work and bravery.

When the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou were powerful, he and Lu Zhi forced Zhang Jiao to retreat into several cities.

Maybe he is not a warrior who expands the territory, but he can fully protect the environment and the people.

After talking for a while, Liu Qing heard a lot about the situation in Julu County, and felt that it was almost the same, so he brought the topic to the serious business.

"Junye, you have a lot of contacts with Li Wen, the prefect of Wei County, do you know this person?"

Guo Dian replied: "My lord, Li Wen, styled Bochong, is a native of Zhuo County, Zhuo County. He is a clean official and a man of integrity. During the time of the Yellow Turban, he led an army from Wei County to attack Julu, and then stationed in Quzhou. In support of General Huangfu's camp of the Chinese army, when he attacked Guangzong, he also led his army out and encircled the Chinese army. Later, the two of us followed General Fu Xie to Hedong County to help General Huangfu..."

"I've heard of some of these things." Liu Qing said.

In fact, it was to interrupt Guo Dian's words, because he knew all these things.

What Liu Qing wanted to know was Li Wen's position.

Wang Fen plotted rebellion in Jizhou. As the prefect of Weijun, did he know about it? Weijun is the hometown of the eunuch Zhao Zhong. Is it possible for Li Wen to have colluded with the eunuch? Mainly in Ruying and the Central Plains.

"Mr. Guo, Wei County is the center of Jizhou. If my lord wants to gain a firm foothold in Jizhou, Jizhou must be chosen." Guo Jia reminded straight to the point.

"Oh?" Guo Dian was bewildered and surprised, and then he seemed worried, "My lord is now the prefect of Yanmen, I'm afraid I can't convince him with this status, if I lead troops to go, I will definitely suffer from his efforts." resist."

"The Montenegrin army crossed the border, Li Wen didn't seem to resist." Guo Jia mocked.

"That's because Prefect Li and Chief Shi Shenpei are not in Wei County. Even if one of them is there, the Black Mountain Army will not be allowed to run rampant. Since the two returned, the Black Mountain Army in Wei County has been wiped out."

Trial?Liu Qing suddenly caught something.

"Is the judge the history of Wei County Chief?" Liu Qing asked.

"That's right, Shen Pei Shen Zhengnan is originally from Wei County. When the former Taiwei Chen Qiu was appointed as the Fanyang Commander, Shen Pei was his subordinate. This person is also loyal and upright, and has the same temperament as Li Taishou." Guo Dian introduced.

Good guy, the upright Li Wen, who sits in the lonely city's trial match, is doubly difficult to chew!
Liu Qing felt that it would be very difficult to take Wei County by force.

Liu Qing and Guo Jia looked at each other, it must be more difficult than imagined to take this Wei County, and even if there is Princess Wannian as the banner, it must be considered in the long run.

Liu Qing didn't choose to linger on this topic, but just had some discussions on the governance of Julu County.

For example, after the Chinese New Year, March is the spring sowing. Julu County must reclaim wasteland in advance, improve fertile land, build new and dredging channels.

For example, the preparation of soldiers and horses in Julu County, equipment renewal, and recruiting new soldiers are all serious tasks.

In the end, Liu Qing simply let Dong Zhao have nothing to pay, and hung up the official position of Chang Tao. He followed Liu Qing back to Changshan in order to move the management policy of Changshan to Julu County, so that the work can be started immediately next year.

After the success, Liu Qing didn't stay any longer, but chose to go back to Changshan after dinner.

Dong Zhao also went.

……

In Luoyang City, in an ordinary mansion, a warm afterglow of the setting sun shone into the courtyard, and two figures were bathed in the afterglow of the evening.

"Father, this matter can no longer be trusted. People in the army are fluctuating, and many people are secretly plotting. My little friend Hou Cheng, someone also came to him and said, Dong Zhoumu wants to control the army of the whole city, so he has to guard against it." Lu Bu leaned on his arm. Fang Tian, ​​who was more than ten feet tall, drew a halberd and said solemnly to Ding Yuan.

"Fengxian, I have heard about this matter, but the current situation in Luoyang, we are in an embarrassing situation, if we are not careful, we will fail." Ding Yuan sighed.

"Father, Dong Zhoumu and I both started in Bingzhou. Now that Dong Zhoumu has a strong army and the crown of the Sili, why don't we form an alliance with him? No matter which side Dong Zhoumu is rumored to be on, he will be the winner." Lu Bu suggested.

Ding Yuan walked a few steps, then sighed again, "He Jin, He Miao, Dong Zhong, and Jian Shuo are going to end, you have seen, how can Dong Zhuo tolerate me?"

"If we choose to fight against it, what is the difference from hitting a stone with a pebble?"

Ding Yuan turned his head, stared at Lu Bu with a pair of old eyes, and said earnestly: "Feng Xian, you and I both came from grass roots. In this world of big men, it is not easy for us, it is not easy, it is not easy for us to be what we are today, How can I hand over all that I have to others? Previously, I won the position of governor of Bingzhou only after fighting Xianbei to the death. However, when Dong Zhuo came, I lost my job and became a mere captain. If it wasn't recommended by the general, I still don't know where it is!"

"Hey!" Lu Bu also sighed, "I'm afraid that the adoptive father will continue to be broken, and the two families will not tolerate it in the future. Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family are not easy to get along with!"

Ding Yuan's face was solemn, the more he got to the back, the more his swords were on the verge of breaking out, and the more difficult it was for him to ride a tiger.

Lu Bu shook his head, but failed to persuade his adoptive father, so he could only persuade those restless subordinates first.

Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hao Meng were all comrades who fought together in Bingzhou. The soldiers of Bingzhou were brave and ruthless since they were young.

"Father, I will restrain the soldiers under the account, but many of the Jinwu army are former Luoyang city guards, and they need to be strictly controlled."

Before leaving, Lu Bu reminded again.

"My son is determined, I will!" Ding Yuan replied.

Looking at Lu Bu's leaving figure, Ding Yuan felt guilty. Lu Bu was not only brave, but also very alert. Obviously there was a change in the army, so he reminded himself immediately.

But in order to carry out the position of Jin Wu, he was at a loss. Ding Yuan understood that although the two were foster fathers and sons, they were more like subordinates.

And Lu Bu is still a subordinate without affiliation.

When Ding Yuan went to the post of Governor of Bingzhou, Lu Bu's post of Chief Registrar naturally went along with him, and then Ding Yuan went to worship Zhi Jin Wu, but Lu Bu made no arrangements.

Executive Jinwu is an important position in the capital, and all the deputy positions are directly appointed by the imperial court. Today's Lu Bu can only be regarded as an aide following him.

"Hey! It's really embarrassing for Feng Xian!" Ding Yuan sighed.

……

"General Yamen Bao Xin, I have met Yuan Gong!"

"Wu Fu, captain of the Yueqi school, met Yuan Gong!"

"Wu Kuang, Lieutenant of Fenwu, met Yuan Gong!"

"Wang Kuang, Lieutenant of the Jianwu School, met Yuan Gong!"

In Yuan's compound, four generals bowed down to salute Yuan Kai in front of them. Yuan Kai changed his usual simple and elegant clothes to a solemn pure black crane cloak, and hung his long-unused saber around his waist.

If Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were here, they would find that Yuan Kai's mental outlook at the moment was much more energetic than before. He didn't look like a grand master at all, but rather like an old general who was about to go into battle to kill the enemy.

"The four generals, the great general was murdered by traitors, so that the prince argued that he has not yet become a great treasure. Today, the Empress Dowager Dong is a party, relying on the Hongnong Yang family and others, intending to stand against Empress He, abolishing the old, establishing the young, and rebelling against the law. , Although the great general died, the four generals carried on their ambitions, supported the young master, and helped the country, so as to comfort your majesty and the great general's soul in heaven!"

Yuan Kai came up with inflammatory remarks. Those who are generals are usually more bloody, and these four people are all from He Jin's old ministry. When he said this, hatred, motives, and beliefs were all there.

"Help the young master! Help the country!" The four generals repeated three times in unison.

Seeing the tacit understanding of the four people, Yuan Kai was very satisfied, and he was worthy of him communicating well in private. Now the four of them swear in unison.

"There are [-] elite Xiliang troops outside Dong Zhuo's city. In terms of total strength, we are no match. However, in this city, Dong Zhuo only has two battalions of troops, while the four generals have five battalions. But..." Yuan Kai made a turning point and continued: "Although the number is superior, our side has to guard the city gate, so it is not superior."

"Yuan Gong, the city gate is in charge of the city gate captain, and the defense in the city, Zhi Jinwu is a force that cannot be ignored." Wu Fu reminded.

"Lieutenant Wu, can the strength of the five captains of the Beiying Camp provide further support?" Bao Xin asked.

Wu Fu shook his head, "The captain of Yueqi is already at the limit of Marquis Liu. As a clan member of the Han family, he will not get involved in this dispute."

Liu Hou, that is, Liu Biao, the Zhonghou of the Northern Army, is in charge of the Fifth Battalion and is almost half of the Imperial Army.

Yuan Kai nodded and said: "That's true. Jing Sheng's ability to let Captain Wu come is already the greatest support. As for Captain Chengmen, you don't need to worry."

The four generals looked at each other. According to Yuan Gong's words, the captain of the city gate is Yuan Gong's man.

The remaining problem is only Zhijin Wudingyuan.

Yuan Kai continued, "Aside from the Xiliang army outside the city, the strength of the city, even if we want to send troops to defend the city, it is slightly superior to Dong Zhuo. Therefore, the biggest variable, Zhijinwu Dingyuan, is We have to deal with it first, because—”

"He is from Bingzhou!"
