Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 215 Cooking wine to talk about the world, marching into Sishuiguan

"The King of Bohai wants to control Jizhou?"

Dong Zhuo considered Jia Xu's words for a while, and felt that they were not quite right. In his impression, Young Master Quan had no serious desires.

Otherwise, when the Yellow Turban was flattened, he would not have shared so much credit, and when the two met in Taiyuan, the young master also showed a side of taking care of the overall situation, alone blocking the pressure from Xianbei in the north, so that Dong Zhuo could concentrate on dealing with Luoyang. .

Among the few people recommended by Liu Qing, only Tian Feng belonged to him, and it was impossible to see that he wanted to control Jizhou.

"Wenhe, is there a mistake? Why can't we see it? One is from Taiyuan and the other is from Liangzhou, Guo Yan and Fu Xie. As for Dong Zhao, this is the first time I have heard of it, but he Also surnamed Dong, we agree!" Dong Zhuo said.

"Mr. Dong, there is no prime minister in the two kingdoms of Zhongshan and Hejian. The Yuan family first entrusted Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and then the king of Bohai sent an urgent letter requesting the conferment of Tian Feng and Dong Zhao, along with Qinghe and Anping Zhao County. It was obviously aimed at the Yuan family. Dong You should support the King of Bohai. Jizhou has always been an important source of soldiers and food, and the Yuan family will form an alliance. If Jizhou is won, Dong Gong may not be able to support it. Don’t forget that the land of Sili’s granary east of the river has not yet been recovered.”

Jia Xu gave several reasons in succession, and the generals listened in a daze, although it was not their turn to play, it seemed that the war had already started.

"Since that's the case, wouldn't it be of great benefit to my son if I reseal the whole Jizhou? And the governor of Jizhou, there are not many good people in the governor of Jizhou!" Dong Zhuo scolded.

He first scolded Li Shao, the governor of the Yellow Turban, who failed to investigate first, then Huangfu Song, who didn't get along well with him, and then even Wang Fen, who assassinated Liu Hong and conspired against him. As for the current one, he is completely He was the one lying on the gun, and Dong Zhuo didn't know Jia Cong at all.

As soon as Dong Zhuo wanted the whole big one, Jia Xu quickly dissuaded him, "Dong Gong can't, the King of Bohai is a delicate person, just do what he wants!"

Dong Zhuo nodded, got up immediately, and said: "Wen He said it is true, we will enter the palace to ask for an order, and everything will be done according to the master's wishes!"

"Dong Gong, don't forget about Liangzhou."

"I can't forget Ma Teng, governor of Longxi, and Han Sui, governor of Jincheng." Dong Zhuo repeated.

……

February has arrived, spring has come, and the land of Jizhou has come back to life again. It has been dry for several years. Because of the snow this winter, the fertile fields of Jizhou have been nourished for a long time.

Liu Qing was free and went west to Tanghejian Kingdom to meet Cao Cao.

Naturally, Cao Cao was delighted to hear it, and held a small banquet in the pavilion, cooking wine and having a feast with Liu Qing.

Liu Qing did not expect that he would "cook wine and talk about the world" with Cao Cao.

My own hero?
But Cao Cao at this time is still very confused, not to mention talking about the world, he is still worried about whether he will be the Prime Minister of Hejian who was sent to him.

Do!I always felt a grudge in my heart. First, he knew that this imperial edict was issued by Yuan Kai, and it was not a real favor from the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Two, the power of the world is in the land of Yuyan, and he is here. It's like being an outsider.

not do?Not to mention offending Yuan Shi, I am afraid that my father will break his leg too!

After all, he is a county governor, a local official.

Therefore, facing Liu Qing, Cao Cao really wanted to ask for advice, and he always attached great importance to Liu Qing's suggestions.

Cao Cao held up his glass of wine and respectfully said: "The king of Bohai is here, and the scorpion is shining, let's have a drink together first!"

Liu Qing accepted it readily, and drank it all in one gulp. The warm wine flowed down his throat, dispelling all the remaining chill in the early spring.

"Meng De is polite. Since this year, the Central Plains has undergone great changes. Today's imperial struggle is no less harmful than the chaos between the Yellow Turbans and foreigners. I wonder what Meng De thinks about this?" Liu Qing asked preconceivedly.

Cao Cao didn't expect Liu Qing to start this topic first, he pondered for a while and said: "Dong Zhuo's use of martial arts to abolish the establishment is unpopular. Now everyone in the world condemns it. The land of the Central Plains may be washed away by the flames of war again."

"Then Meng De thinks Dong Zhuo's actions are usurping?" Liu Qing asked tentatively.

"In the old days when Dou Wu was Liling Emperor, he was only a small captain of the city gate, but because he was in charge of Luoyang, he united with Taifu Chen Fan, and it was a matter of course. Dong Zhuowu took Luoyang, but he was at odds with Taifu Yuan Kui, resulting in the current situation. How it will end is still unknown, if Chen Liu's meeting with the alliance is successful, even if he sends Liu..." Cao Cao paused, but still did not call out Liu Bian's name, he should be called His Majesty now.

"Send Your Majesty back to Luoyang Dynasty, without blood staining Luoyang, I'm afraid it won't be possible."

Liu Qing held up the empty cup, looked at the exquisite pattern on the top, and replied casually: "Liu Xie was the first to make Yuan Kai the Taifu when he succeeded to the throne. If Yuan Kai accepts, then the difference between him and Dong Zhuo is still the difference in the government. It can be resolved above the court, and the Dahan community still exists."

Liu Qing changed his subject and said sharply: "It's a pity that he chose to ignore it. He kept saying that there is a distinction between senior and young, and the ancestral temple etiquette, but he regarded Liu Xie, who ascended the throne according to the rites of the Dahan Ancestral Temple, as nothing, hijacked King Hongnong, and made him a puppet. The ancestral temple, the two have no jade seal to pass on the country, and they also falsely claim that Ruyang is the capital, isn't this treating the Han Dynasty as a trifle?"

From Liu Qing's sarcasm, Cao Cao heard anger, ridicule and disdain, and thought: So, does the King of Bohai support Liu Xie?

Although he is a young emperor, as Liu Qing said, Liu Xie is the one who has gone through the real enthronement ceremony and is in charge of the ancestral temple and jade seal.

No wonder Liu Qing didn't want to see Yuan Shao so much in Bohai County.

Cao Cao thought again, why did Liu Hong make Liu Qing King of Bohai before his death?After contacting Liu Qing today to express his opinion, and the fact that Liu Hong loves Liu Xie is a well-known fact, it seems to understand.

Cao Cao realized: The first emperor made a deal with Liu Qing with King Bohai, asking him to support Liu Xie!
Liu Qing's words are not easy to accept.

Cao Cao didn't say anything, and silently gave Liu Qing a spoonful of wine.

"Meng De, do you think that what Yuan Kai did was done by his ministers?" Liu Qing launched a soul torture.

Liu Qing's position has been clarified, and Cao Cao's own situation is also clear to him. Although he doesn't call himself the Prime Minister of Hejian, he has been here for almost half a year.

"Ahem~" Cao Cao woke up his throat, "What King Bohai said is very reasonable, but..."

Liu Qing pointed his ears, but what he really wanted to say was the latter.

"Dong Zhuo abolished the elders and established the younger ones. He violated the etiquette and laws first. All the officials and scholars looked at it like this. What the Yuan family did was inappropriate, but its original intention was still for the sake of the great Han society." Cao Cao said cautiously, for fear of Angered the king of Bohai.

What Cao Cao said was the reason why Yuan Kai dared to do this, because he had already found an excuse. If he hadn't seen Yuan's figure behind the Yellow Turban Rebellion, perhaps Liu Qing himself would have naively thought: at least Yuan Kui, an old minister of the big man, should be loyal to the big man...

However, the facts are very cruel. In history, he has been tortured to the brink of death by Liu Hong. Naturally, he has nothing to do. Even Yuan Shao's meeting with Dong Dong, he did not escape from Luoyang. Apart from self-confidence, he may have a sense of life and death.

"What about Mengde? That's what he thought too!" Liu Qing stared at Cao Cao and launched another soul torture.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned, and the spoon for scooping up the wine fell into the wine with a "plop". If you want to make a big deal, how can you think about it!"

Liu Qing smiled and said: "Mengde don't need to be nervous, you Cao Mengde, you are not a scholar, you don't need to sacrifice your life for the Yuan family, you still remember what I said in the past, if Mengde wants to be the prime minister of Jinan, Xun Yu can still do it." Rang Xian."

Rang Hyun?Cao Cao tasted this sentence. Originally, he thought that it was the kindness of the Xun family that Xun Yu wanted to give way to him in the past. How could it be his intention to listen to the words of King Bohai?

Could it be that at that time, when Liu Qing was still white, the Xun family had already placed such a heavy bargaining chip on him?

Cao Cao looked at Liu Qing, watched him put down the glass of wine, walked to the edge of the pavilion, turned his back to him, and looked up at the south sky.

The Cao family supports the Yuan family, aside from those high-sounding things, Cao Cao knows it clearly, and the Xun family values ​​Liu Qing so much, Xun's background, Xun's vision, needless to say, they are ten times stronger than Cao Cao and the Cao family. Thousands of miles.

Last time, even Xun Chen was left behind by Liu Qingqiang.

Hejian Prime Minister and Jinan Prime Minister, these two equivalent positions will have two completely different paths.

Cao Cao already had the answer in his heart. Although he was not firm enough and still hesitated due to the different opinions among the family, this time, Cao Cao planned to act rashly.

The thoughts in his mind passed in a flash, and Cao Cao replied with a relaxed and pleasant tone: "Really? Cao has been thinking about it for more than half a year!"

Liu Qing didn't look back, but from Cao Cao's tone, he also heard the clues, and he continued: "The great man has gone through hundreds of years, or he is decaying, or he is dying, or some people think that the number of days will change, and the building will collapse, but! "

Liu Qing suddenly turned his head, and said loudly: "As long as I wait for the descendant of Gaozu Miao to remain, I will never think of someone overthrowing it!"

Cao Cao looked at Liu Qing who was standing upright, and he couldn't look directly at him. The benevolence and righteousness he showed when fighting side by side, and the loyalty and filial piety he showed to the big man at the moment all interpreted the perfection of the man in front of him.

In the eyes of others, especially in the eyes of those who are full of affection, Liu Qing when he cast [Gao Zu Miao descendants] is a shining existence.

A capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times, Cao Cao suddenly remembered his own life commentary.

Ever since Xun Yu pointed out the maze for him several times, he has always believed that troubled times are coming, and he also wants to do something big, although he doesn't know what it is yet.

But now, for some reason, he vaguely sees the hope of ruling the world in Liu Qing...

Looking at Cao Cao who was in a daze, Liu Qing felt amused in his heart, cooking wine today, Lao Cao is much more embarrassed than Liu Bei in history.

"Meng De!" Liu Qing called out.

"Ok?"

"March [-]rd is my wedding day with the daughter of the Xun family. Remember to come to the palace for a wedding and don't forget the gift money!" Liu Qing said as he walked out.

Cao Cao smacked his lips and murmured, "March [-]rd? Is this a coincidence?"

……

Yuan Shao went to Lunu in Zhongshan, but returned to Chenliu soon.

For one thing, the situation in Zhongshan was far more complicated than he thought, and it would definitely not be unsolvable in a while. More importantly, it was less than a month since Chen Liu met with the alliance.

Now there are dozens of heroes from all over the world who have gathered here. Among them, there are as many as 18 people who hold a party's power and bring soldiers and horses. They are known as the Eighteenth Army Town.

The first town, Yuzhou Muhuangwan.

In the second town, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai.

In the third town, Jia Cong, governor of Jizhou.

In the fourth town, Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou.

In the fifth town, Yuan Shao, Prime Minister of Zhongshan.

In the sixth town, Huben Zhonglang general Yuan Shu.

In the seventh town, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Sanyo.

In the eighth town, Nanyang prefect Yangxu.

In the ninth town, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun.

In the tenth town, Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao.

No.11 town, Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei.

No.12 town, Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang.

No.13 town, Changsha prefect Sun Jian.

No.14 town, Liaodong prefect and governor Shi Gongsun Zan.

No.15 town, Guangling prefect Zhang Chao.

No.16 town, Beihai prefect Kong Rong.

No.17 town, Jiyin prefect Ding Yuan.

No.18 town, Qinghe prefect Yao Gong.

There are tens of thousands or thousands of soldiers and horses in each town, and when calculated overall, there are as many as one hundred thousand. Apart from Chenliu, there are camps everywhere, and food, grass and supplies are piled up like mountains.

The city of Chenliu became more crowded and lively, as if people from all over the world had come to Chenliu.

As Yuan Kui thought, Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance without accident, and he was responsible for coordinating the affairs of the board. Fortunately, Yuan Shao now has enough staff and each army formation is independent of each other, so there is no chaos.

March [-]rd is not only the day of blood for the alliance, but also the day of the swearing-in meeting. The day is getting closer, and Yuan Shao is getting more and more nervous.

"My lord, the food and grass dispatched by Runan has arrived in Chenliu." Chen Lin said, handing over a booklet.

Yuan Shao didn't take it, but just replied: "For the matter of food and grass, just leave it to the road, and there is no need to report it separately. Besides, is there any news about Meng De?"

Chen Lin shook her head, "Without news of Cao Cao, will the Cao family retreat because Cao Song is still in Luoyang?"

"Meng De is filial, it is possible!" Yuan Shao said.

"Leader, if the Cao flag continues to stand in the camp, it may hurt the morale of the allied army." Guo Tujin said.

"Then withdraw first, wait for Mengde to arrive, and then stand up."

Feng Ji stepped forward, "My lord, Luoyang urgently reports that Dong Zhuo has recalled Huangfusong, and news spread that Ma Teng and Han Sui have entered Guanzhong and are rushing to Luoyang."

"How many troops do you know?" Yuan Shao asked.

Feng Ji shook his head.

Yuan Shao frowned, and said: "The bandit army is powerful! I'm afraid it will be difficult to win for a while, Chen Lin, urge Cao Cao again."

The sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, and March [-]rd arrives in a blink of an eye.

Yuan Shao led the leaders of all the army towns to gather together at the blood-suppression platform. The drums were beating, the horns were rumbling, and the flags were covering the sky.

Looking at the battle of the Allied forces, Yuan Shao's heart was surging, and he and the leaders smeared their faces with blood, swearing as an alliance.

Yuan Shao said in a loud voice: "The Han family is unfortunate, the emperor's principles are out of order, the traitor Dong Zhuo, who took advantage of the quarrel, harmed the supreme, abused the people, Shao and others feared the loss of the country, gathered volunteers, and went to the country! All our alliance , work together, and even ministers, there must be no two ambitions! If you have this alliance, heaven and earth will perish! The emperor, the empress, the ancestors, the spirits, all learn from it!"

"Where we are in an alliance, work together, and even the minister's day, there must be no two ambitions! If you have this alliance, heaven and earth will perish!" Everyone shouted in unison, and the momentum was overwhelming.

Yuan Shao raised his sharp sword high and shouted again: "My life!"

"Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, was the vanguard and marched into Sishuiguan. The army set off in a very short time, and sent troops to Luoyang!"
