Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 214

"My lord, the military commander sent an urgent report from Wei County. King Hongnong granted Yuan Shao the chancellor of Zhongshan and Cao Cao the prime minister of Hejian." As he spoke, the messenger delivered the letter.

For a moment, several people in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, and just now they were talking about how Yuan Kai would deal with Yuan Shao's defeat, but the response came before the table was over.

King Hongnong's edict, perhaps, should be called the emperor now. Even if Liu Qing doesn't recognize it, everyone in the world will recognize it. Yuan's raised his arms, and more than half of the people who support King Hongnong are definitely more than half, but Liu Yang from Luoyang Association, became a minority.

"My lord, Yuan Kai's move is really tricky. Both Zhongshan Kingdom and Hejian Kingdom have no prime ministers. Do we accept or not the edict of King Hongnong?" Tian Feng said.

Liu Qing didn't answer, but looked at Xun Yu.

"Yuan Kai has given the emperor's order to the world. This edict will naturally be obeyed. Just like the dispute in the Bohai Sea, Yuan Shao also obeyed the emperor's imperial edict and ended up in such a mess. If he clearly refuses to obey the edict, it is an act of disobedience."

Xun Yu explained that this was also Yuan Kui's purpose for doing all this. As long as the world still recognizes Emperor Han, then this edict must be respected.

However, Liu Qing had already noticed in his heart, he took a sip of tea with a smile, and savored it pretending to enjoy it.

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Looking at the appearance of my lord, I already have an idea."

"That's right! I think of a famous saying, 'If he crosses the river, I will also cross the river', which can solve Yuan Kai's plan."

Tian Feng and Xun Chen tasted Liu Qing's "famous saying" without knowing it, but they obviously didn't come up with anything, but Xun Yu, who knew Liu Qing had a close relationship with Dong Zhuo, immediately thought of it.

"My lord wants to ask Luoyang for an imperial edict, so that we can compete openly and squarely."

"You said, wouldn't it be interesting for Liu Bian's edict and Liu Xie's edict to come to the same place?" Liu Qing smiled, turned to Tian Feng, and said, "Yuan Hao, you are the governor of Changshan. After a long time, you are very skilled in county affairs, and I plan to recommend you as the Prime Minister of Zhongshan."

After Liu Qingming said, Tian Feng also understood Liu Qing's thinking, "But my lord, can Luoyang agree?"

Whether he would agree or not, Liu Qing was not worried at all, not only because of Dong Zhuo's relationship, even if there was no relationship, Liu Qing thought Luo Yang would agree, because Jia Xu was there.

Faced with Yuan Kai's condemnation, Jia Xu must hope to see that Jizhou has a force to counter Yuan Kai.

Not only Jizhou, Luoyang may re-seal all controversial local officials.

As soon as he said it, Liu Qing immediately wrote a letter to Dong Zhuo, recommending Tian Feng as the Prime Minister of Zhongshan, and then in one go, he elected Dong Zhao as the prefect of Anping, and Fu Xie as the prefect of Qinghe. As for Cao Cao, Liu Qing will stay in Bohai for a while. During this period of time, let's communicate again, if you can persuade him to quit, just persuade him to quit.

After all, his battlefield is not farming in Hejian. Cao's base, influence, and connections are all in Yuyan.

Liu Qing went on to read the letter, and the letter also mentioned the current situation of Weijun. On the surface, Li Wen was the prefect, Li Wen was appointed as Li Wenchangshi, and officially became the county magistrate. Zhang Liao became the captain of Weijun, and took charge of Weijun. soldier.

Now, he is leading the army of the county to wipe out the Heishan bandits in the area of ​​Huangze. To the west of Huangze is Sili Hanoi County. The two armies are separated by Heishan. This is the origin of the Heishan Army.

Therefore, the Black Mountain Army not only ravaged Jizhou Wei County and other places, but Hanoi County also suffered greatly.

Zhang Liaoping Montenegro, the right is training.

And Zhao Yun and Gao Shun and Zhu Ling joined together, outside of Handan, they can take the city at will.

Liu Qing suddenly remembered, and hastily added another sentence to Dong Zhuo's letter: Recommend...

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that there was no one under his account?

Gu Yong is too young, Han Heng, almost mean, he suddenly thought of a candidate, after thinking for a while, he added: Guo Yan was recommended as the prefect of Zhaojun.

Liu Hong once promised Guo Jian the position of prefect of Yanmen, but unfortunately, because of Luoyang's change, Shi Changshi did not draw up the edict to seal Guo Jian, so Guo Jian gave Liu Hong a white job.

Liu Qing knew that Guo Yan wanted to join him, and this was confirmed during his trip to Taiyuan, so he took this opportunity to win over the Guo family in Taiyuan.

After all, the largest Wang family in Taiyuan County is on the side of the Yuan family.

After writing the letter, he ordered someone to deliver it, and Liu Qing brought the topic back to Bohai County again.

"Wen Ruo, you are fully responsible for the management of Bohai County, and the management of salt affairs is the most important thing. For this reason, I will send Zhu Ling here for you to drive."

"Zhu Wenbo, although I haven't seen him, I have heard of his name. In Changshan County, he is meticulous, low-key and reliable." Xun Yu smiled, obviously admiring Zhu Ling very much.

"Zhu Ling's ability is relatively balanced. Not only can he lead troops, build facilities and defense lines, but the most rare thing is his selflessness. In the handling of salt affairs, there must be many difficult tasks. It is most appropriate to ask him to do it." Liu Qing said.

"Thank you my lord!"

Liu Qing wrote another letter to dispatch Zhu Ling on the spot, and ordered him to bring the new barracks with him.

After finishing the work, Liu Qing felt that he could be relieved, all the important affairs of Bohai Sea were given to Xun Yu, and he could take Qian Ying out for "inspection" again...

In the evening, Tian Feng suddenly found Bohai Palace and said that he had brought an important person.

He was mysterious, and finally found out that the man was an informer, and the secret he revealed really surprised Liu Qing.

Wang Fen is in Yangxin County, Bohai!

……

Chenliu County, Chenliu.

After Yuan Shao left Bohai, he returned to Runan via Chenliu in Dongjun County. However, he received a letter from Yuan Kai on the way, ordering him to go to Chenliu.

After arriving in Chenliu, Yuan Shao knew what Yuan Kui said about the alliance. During the time he went to Bohai, Yuan Kui had already called on the state governors and county magistrates of the Kanto states to work together with the king to seek Dong.

After Liu Bian ascended the throne in Ruyang, out of etiquette, Liu Xie was crowned king, because the original Bohai king was occupied by Liu Qing first, and Yuan Kai thought of Chenliu king.

Sealing Liu Xie as the king of Chenliu is also a courtesy.

At the same time, as an irony, Yuan Wei also set the place of alliance in Chenliu.

Yuan Shao went straight to the county mansion to look for Zhang Miao, but saw that the county mansion was very lively.

And Yuan Shao's arrival also made the county mansion, which was already full of people, even more angry.

"Benchu! Don't come here without any problems!" Zhang Miao, who was potbellied, rushed up quickly, but his belly didn't affect his speed at all.

"Meng Zhuo, I'm ashamed, Shao missed the opportunity."

Yuan Shao knew that the story of the King of Bohai had spread, but because it was the late emperor's will, there was no theory of failure, but the people present did not know that Yuan Shao had been fainted by someone in Bohai County on the spot.

"It's okay, it's okay! Isn't this the Prime Minister of Zhongshan again!" Zhang Miao laughed.

These words fell in Yuan Shao's ears, and they were a bit harsh. If he didn't know that Zhang Miao's words were a bit open, Yuan Shao would have taken these words as irony.

After all, the Bohai incident seemed to have left a psychological shadow on him, making him realize one thing, apart from Yuan's background, how much money does Yuan Benchu ​​have?

"Come on, Ben Chu, I'll introduce you. There are many acquaintances here today!" Zhang Miao said, and entered the hall to welcome Yuan Shao, and saw that the hall was filled with dozens of tables. It was an exaggeration, There were no seats left.

Zhang Miao first introduced Yuan Shao to an old acquaintance, and Yuan Shao naturally recognized that former Situ Huang Wan is now Yuzhou Mu.

Yuan Shao immediately bowed his hands in salute, Huang Wan nodded.

Sitting next to Huang Wan was an old man with gray beard and messy hair.

"This is Tao Qian Tao Gongzu, governor of Xuzhou."

"Yanzhou Shepherd Liu Dai Liu Gongshan."

Zhang Miao introduced step by step, talking step by step.

"Jizhou Inspector Jia Cong Jia Mengjian."

"Nanyang Taishou Yang Xu Yang Xingzu."

"These two...haha!" Zhang Miao smiled.

Yuan Shaochong greeted the two Yuan brothers with a smile, and Yuan Yi and Yuan Shu returned the gift politely.

Next, there were a group of prefects, some of whom had known each other before, Wang Kuang and Bao Xin, all of whom were from He Jin's old department, and Changsha prefect Sun Jian, who was quite famous.

Unexpectedly, there was even Gongsun Zan of Liaodong.

"Meng Zhuo, when will the alliance start?"

Zhang Miao said: "It should be March, after the spring sowing, the army can be assembled, but all the leaders have come here one after another."

Yuan Shao thought for a while, in this way, he would have enough time to go to Zhongshan to take up his post first, and then come back. Yuan Wei made it clear in the letter that he should be the leader of the alliance.

"Meng Zhuo, I have some important business to do, and I want to go back to Jizhou. It's so lively, I can't join in today!"

"At first, Meng De was in Jizhou?" Zhang Miao asked suddenly.

Yuan Shao nodded, "Meng De is now the Prime Minister of Hejian, so he should come to the alliance."

"I haven't seen Meng De for a long time. If you see him in the first place, please send my regards." Zhang Miao said.

After exchanging a few casual greetings, Yuan Shao left the county mansion, and headed north again with his original team, who was missing one Xun Chen.

After Zhang Miao sent Yuan Shao away, he turned his head back to the mansion and saw Chen Gong walking towards him.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Benchu ​​seems to lack confidence in this trip." Chen Gong said.

"How do you know this?" Zhang Miao was puzzled.

"With Yuan Benchu ​​as a person, how can we miss this occasion today. Banqueting and making friends is Yuan Benchu's great love."

"Didn't he say he has something important to do?"

"The alliance will be held in March, and there are still nearly two months left. A few round trips to and from Jizhou are enough. Yuan Benchu ​​doesn't want to stay. First, the defeat in Bohai, which spreads all over the world, will hurt his face. Second, he feels that Zhongshan It's not a sure thing to win." Chen Gong explained.

Hearing Chen Gong's analysis, Zhang Miao thought about it, and it was true.

Following this matter, Zhang Miao had another flash of inspiration and asked, "Gongtai, do you think Yuan Gong will invite Bohai King Liu Qing?"

Chen Gong shook his head, "Chen Liu Huimeng is fighting for the position of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. The clan of the Han family is not suitable for joining. Look at Liu Yan, Mu of Yizhou, Liu Biao, Mu of Jingzhou, and Liu Yu, Mu of Youzhou. He simply refused, even Liu Chong, King Chen of Yuzhou, did not participate."

Chen Gong lowered his voice again, and said in a voice that only Zhang Miao could hear: "Unless Liu Dai is such an ignorant person."

Zhang Miao nodded thoughtfully. Chen Gong's words were indeed very reasonable. On the surface, it was a dispute between the two emperors, but in fact, it was the people behind the scenes who were fighting.

"Although the slogan is Xinghan begging for Dong, the Fujun should also understand what the inner purpose is." Chen Gong said.

"Gongtai be careful, it's better to rot in your stomach."

Chen Gong was silent, cupped his hands and bowed his head, expressing that he would not speak anymore.

Zhang Miao looked at the chiefs in the hall who were drinking and drinking, and sighed in his heart: It is really a rare grand event, when has Chen Liu been so lively before!
"Meng Zhuo! Come and drink quickly!" A call came from the hall suddenly.

Zhang Miao shook his head, put aside those complicated thoughts, and replied with a smile: "Here we come!"

……

Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's residence.

Because of Yuan Kui's "big treason and injustice", the counties in the Kanto region are now disturbed, and there are often news reports. Sometimes it is said that the governor of Dongjun has joined the alliance, and sometimes it is said that the governor of Guangling has joined the alliance. Yuan Wei's battle is getting bigger and bigger. , Dong Zhuo's pressure is also increasing.

"Wenhe, Chen Liu Huimeng, is there a way to deal with it?"

"Mr. Dong, Chen Liu's alliance is a conspiracy. Mrs. Yuan wants to meet the lord with swords. In this case, I have to rely on the brave men under Mr. Dong." Jia Xu said.

"The Xiliang army is only [-] strong, including Luoyang's soldiers and horses, and they are not many. If the Guandong bandits raise hundreds of thousands of troops, how can they stop them?" Dong Zhuo worried.

"Dong Gong, don't worry, the Kanto gentry are all led by children, how can they compare with my Xiliang warriors!" Li Jue said.

Dong Zhuo stroked his beard unconsciously, and said angrily: "Now the court is in good order, and it is not inappropriate for us to assist the empress dowager, so why did Yuan Kai establish a new emperor and bring up this unknown teacher!"

"Brother, the Yuan family is the traitor, but the scholars of the world are advancing and retreating with it. Let's call back General Niu." Dong Min said.

Dong Zhuo nodded, "Decree: Order Niu Fu to abandon Hedong and immediately return to the army to defend Luoyang!"

"Dong Gong, Huangfu Song stationed troops in Chencang and had to guard against it. You can order him to return to Luoyang as an official. Dong Gong will take over his troops with his confidantes. At the same time, he will write to Liangzhou Ma Teng and Han Sui to recruit two people. Commander, order him to send troops to help." Jia Xu went on to say a few countermeasures.

Dong Zhuo moved, clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Wenhe's plan is very good! Let's write a letter now! Hmm...how should I write?"

Jia Xu smiled, and said: "In the past, Han Sui raised [-] troops to attack Chang'an, using the slogan of 'kill the traitors, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty'. This time, let him repeat his old tricks."

"Good! Let's write now!" As he said, Dong Zhuo immediately spread out the silk and began to write. After a while, he finished writing the two letters. He was about to call someone, but when he looked up, he saw the messenger walking in.

"Mr. Dong, Bohai King's secret message!" the messenger said.

When Dong Zhuo heard about King Bohai, his eyes lit up. After he sent the imperial decree, Liu Qing had already sent someone to thank him, and asked Zhang Xiu to stay for a while, Dong Zhuo readily agreed.

After opening the letter and greeting him briefly, Dong Zhuo saw the main content of Liu Qing's letter.

Recommend Tian Feng as the prime minister of Zhongshan?Recommend Fu Xie as Qinghe prefect?
A series of elections... At the end, there is even a sentence that recommends Guo Yu as the prefect of Zhaojun?

The young master wrote this letter so casually!Dong Zhuo couldn't figure it out for a while, but some prefects are easy to talk about.

Suddenly, Dong Zhuo handed the letter to Jia Xu.

There was also a trace of surprise in Jia Xu's eyes. Dong Zhuo had always read the Bohai King's letter by himself. Unexpectedly, this time, he took the initiative to hand it over to him.

Jia Xu read the letter again, looked at Dong Zhuo, then at the generals, and smiled.

"Wen He laughing?" Dong Zhuo asked.

Jia Xu said: "Congratulations to Mr. Dong, if the king of Bohai takes action, if he controls Jizhou, it will be like cutting off Yuan's arm!"
