Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 242 Liu Qing Has Hardened

In the blink of an eye, May has come, and Liu Qing took Guo Jia and Dian Wei on a routine tour of the camp.

Now Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Han Hao have missions, and Chu Yan has not even sent a letter back. Only Zhang Xiu has been in the barracks, training recruits conscientiously.

Liu Qing's barracks was set up on the slope to the north of the fertile field. With the addition of two other hillsides, it can be said that Han Hao's fertile land was protected again. Standing in the camp, he could see the appearance of the fertile land.

Now the spring plowing has ended, and the fields are green and lush, and they have begun to grow vigorously.

During this period of time, the Black Mountain Army came once, but was shot away by Zhang Xiu, and Liu Qing didn't even see him face to face.

Liu Qing was in the barracks, and his only job was to read the newspapers and keep abreast of the developments of all parties.

Now, Yuan Shao's vanguard has continued to march and has gone to Wenshe, while Jia Xu on the other side of the river doesn't seem to be doing anything, as if he is only guarding the south of the river.

Zhang Ning wrote to say that the [-] troops had arrived at Jiguan, and asked about the next step. Liu Qing ordered him to stand still.

Ordering Zhang Ning to take Jiguan, as always, is in line with Liu Qing's philosophy of "I want it all".

First of all, Zhang Ning's army can ensure that Liu Qing has an absolute advantage in the battle against Yuan Shao.

Secondly, as the only passage between Hanoi County and Hedong County, Jiguan is of great significance.This is an important hub of Liu Qing's Great Hebei plan.

Although Zhang Ning meant to go deep alone, after Liu Qing took Hanoi County, Zhang Ning's front line would become her rear.

But Hedong County, south of Fenshui, is half surrounded by Liu Qing, and it is much easier to take it.

Dahebei refers to the north of the entire river, including the entire territory of Jizhou, most of Bingzhou, and the Hedong and Hanoi counties of Sili.

"My lord, there is a letter from Jizhou."

Dian Wei was holding a pile of silk books of almost every kind, and suddenly stood beside Liu Qing.

"Feng Xiao, come here, something good is going on!" Liu Qing said.

Guo Jia came to Liu Qing and bowed.

"My lord, what's the good thing? But the trial and match has already been completed?"

Liu Qing smiled mysteriously, pointed to a pile of silk books on the table and said: "Jizhou Xinbao must be a good thing! As the saying goes, sharing a good thing with others is a double good thing!"

Guo Jia said that I have never heard of this common saying!
It is obvious that the lord is tired of reading too much. After all, he is in the Yuan family, but Zhao Ji read it first, and then concluded that he listened to it with Liu Qing.

"My lord's words are very good!" Guo Jia said haha, then picked up a letter, opened it, and couldn't help frowning.

This is written by the mistress Cai Yan, sin, sin!
"My lord, this is a letter from my lord mother!" Guo Jia said as he gently handed over the letter.

Liu Qing stretched out his hand to take it, and to Guo Jia's surprise, he put his hand aside and continued to look at the share in his hand.

Seeing this action, Guo Jia was startled. He remembered that the lord used to be very concerned about the letter from the mistress.

Could it be that the protagonist has become more and more mature as time goes by?Now you know that business is the most important thing?

Guo Jia felt respectful, picked up a scroll of silk script at random, and opened it to read.

In Anping County, Wang Ji was beheaded in the south of the trial?
This audition is quite courageous.

So Guo Jia said: "My lord, Zilong sent a letter saying that Anping County has been basically controlled. However, Shenzheng Nan beheaded Wang Ji and copied the property of Cui's family in Boling. The county is powerful, and the suppression is extremely ruthless, and more than ten people have been killed."

"Zhengnan is really a strong temper!" Liu Qing said.

"My lord, will there be any hidden dangers in governing the county like this? If the oppression is too great, the powerful might gather again to riot." Guo Jia said.

"Fengxiao is too worried. With Zilong here, what kind of riot can't be suppressed?"

Guo Jia looked at Liu Qing, and saw Liu Qing looking at him with a smile.

Obviously, the lord has already guessed his conjecture.

Guo Jia did have a thought: the lord suddenly appreciates such a violent approach, and changed his previous gentle attitude, it seems that he is trying to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys.

In the past, the territory was fragmented, so Huairou was the top priority. Now that Jizhou is unified, it is natural not to blindly show favor to all forces, but to act both hard and soft, and Anping County is exactly the leader.

When Guo Jia recommended trial and match at the beginning, he felt that this person was very principled, even a little bit reckless, and his ability was not bad, so he would definitely defeat Wang Ji.

So Guo Jia was puzzled: Did Liu Qing readily agree at the beginning, did he also think of this level?
He was accompanied by the most powerful Zhao Yunjun, and even specially told Zhao Yun to listen to the arrangement of the trial and appointment. The lord obviously wanted to fight Anping County with an iron fist from the very beginning.

In any case, Guo Jia would never have thought that Liu Qing readily agreed because he knew that as a human being, a person who sits guarding an isolated city and faces north to die is ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to others.

Completely thinking, Guo Jia turned into a sentence from the bottom of his heart: "My lord is brilliant!"

Then, put the silk book aside.

"The rectification of Zhao County's officials and the great cause of spring plowing have basically been completed. Right now, Uncle Ju has ordered Gao Shun to come here." Liu Qing also said a letter, but changed the subject, and said: "But I think Gao Shun is not Should come here."

Because Yuan Shao was here, maybe the high officials under Yuan Shao's command were also there. If they really met, it would be a real Shura field.

"Prefect Li said that there was a young man named Zhao Yan who brought you five hundred elite soldiers from Yingchuan. He said that they were recruited by Xi Zhicai. The prefect of Yingchuan wanted to lead them to attack Dong Zhuo. It was this young man named Zhao Yan. , trying to steal people out."

Zhao Yan?Is it Zhao Yan who treats women who are not widows as widows?Liu Qing didn't remember anything else.It is really that this thing is done too fresh and refined, or it is more appropriate to call it shocking.

"This prefect of Yingchuan has a good plan, but he wants to use my soldiers to challenge Dong? Do you know the origin of this person?" Liu Qing asked.

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "It should be Yuan's eagle dog. Now Yang Biao is an official in Luoyang. Yang and Yuan are against each other. Naturally, Yuan will take Yingchuan back. But this Zhao Yan became famous when he was young. I heard that However, being able to steal 500 people from Li Min shows that this person is quite wise and courageous!"

Liu Qing thought for a while, and he was indeed wise and courageous to be able to do the "widow's door incident"!

"Careful talents work hard, and they still don't forget to do things for me even though they are sick. They actually chose five hundred people!"

Liu Qing had seen the success rate of his selection.

"The war in Hanoi will take some time, and the order: Order Zhao Yan to bring people to see me!" Liu Qing said, adding attributes, but can't wait!
The remaining ones are not very important. Some are from Luoyang, introducing the current situation in North Korea, and some are from Tianfeng, Zhongshan County, and the work is carried out smoothly. However, at the end, it is said that there are a lot of The incident of Hao Qiang's sudden death and escape.

Now that Liu Qing overlooks Jizhou, he naturally knows that this matter was done by the judge. What Liu Qing didn't expect was that the two didn't communicate?
This also reflects the major drawbacks of the current governance model.

After reading the silk script, both Liu Qing and Guo Jia heaved a sigh of relief.

"Feng Xiao, go 'busy' with your work!" Liu Qing said to Guo Jia, his eyes falling on the family letter.

Guo Jia originally wanted to gossip about the lord's family letter, but unfortunately the lord refused.

"Guo Jia resigns!" Guo Jia stood up and cupped his hands, took a few steps back, and resigned. When he left, he also pulled Dian Wei along.

Watching the two leave, Liu Qing opened the letter.

The first thing mentioned in the letter... Cai Yan, Qian Ying, and Xun Cai took Wannian on a trip?
How did these three get together?
wrong!Cai Yan and Xun Cai are both talented women in the world, and they probably knew each other before Liu Qing knew them!
Being able to take Qianying with you means that the relationship is very harmonious, and traveling together means that it is quite boring.

Liu Qing wondered if he wanted to teach them an activity called "Fighting Landlords".

Or marry another one and teach "Mahjong" directly.

The letter also said that the Yuanshi Academy has continued to operate, and now there is a tendency to expand enrollment, and the Mengxueshi dictionary written silently by Zhaoji is now also started to be copied by others.

The school is responsible for educating the next generation in a more comprehensive way, and the basic literacy is Liu Qing's second stage of education—literacy for all.

This is an indispensable foundation for improving productivity, and there is a long way to go, but there are people who are willing to accompany him, and even undertake most of the work alone, and this person is Cai Yan.

Liu Qing thought for a while, after taking Hanoi, move to Ye County, and then formally canonize Cai Yan as queen!
……

In Huai County, the camp of the Allied Army, the flag of Yuan Zi was buzzing.

The camp was very busy today, because the grain and grass escorted by Wang Kuang had arrived at the camp.

Not only that, but there is also a group of locals from Hanoi County, Han Hao, the county captain of Chaoge.

Under the cover of grain and grass, Han Hao and Zhang Yun walked into Yuan Shaojun's camp in such a grand manner.

"I'll stare at the left, you stare at the right!" Han Hao whispered to Zhang Yun.

Zhang Xi nodded, and subconsciously walked to the right side of the bullock cart.

Yuan Shaojun's camp is very open, and after entering the camp, he can see refusal horses lined up everywhere. When defending, just use them to block the camp gate. If the cavalry rushes in, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. And every fifty steps in the camp, there is a lookout. Towers, at such a short distance, as long as one is attacked, the adjacent watchtowers can see clearly.

Zhang He was very surprised, why did Yuan Shao obviously want to advance in Luoyang, and he definitely wanted to march, but he set up such a well-defended camp here, what is his intention?

there must be a demon

"Junyi, this battalion is a bit difficult to deal with. Look at this refusal horse. If you act rashly, you may suffer heavy losses!" Han Hao said.

"Yuansi, did you find out that the camp seems to be well-defended, but in fact there are very few soldiers and horses that can be seen."

"Could it have already set off?" Han Hao guessed.

"It is very likely that Yuan Jun has already entered the army, and this battalion is just a trick used by Yuan Shao to pretend, and even more, it is a trap!"

"But the grain and grass are real. Although we don't send very much, look at the grain trucks that line up at the gate of the camp!" Han Hao said.

With such a huge amount of food and grass stored here, Han Hao said that this trip was an eye-opener.

"The news must be delivered to Wenyuan as soon as possible!"

"The military camp, what are you two muttering about!" A cursed voice suddenly came.

Han Hao and Zhang Yun followed the prestige, only a scribe came towards them.

Zhang He quickly replied: "I'm asking our county captain, where should we put our food and grass?"

Feng Ji looked at the two of them up and down. Han Hao was wearing a county lieutenant's official uniform, which was fake. The other was wearing ordinary linen clothes with a sweat scarf tied around his head. is everywhere.

Feng Ji pointed to an open space and said to Han Hao, "Let's unload it here!"

"Yes!" Han Hao and Zhang He responded.

The scribe turned and left. Han Hao and Zhang Yun looked at each other, as if they could see a trace of caution in each other's eyes.

The two of them tacitly realized that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time!
After half a day of unloading, Han Hao and Zhang Yun finally left Yuan Jun's camp. On the way, Zhang Yun was still thinking about what he saw in the camp.

"Yuan Si, I have a question." Zhang He said.

"Jun Yi, please tell me."

"Who is Yuan Shao's camp trying to defend against? Does he already know that the lord has come to Hanoi?" Zhang Yun asked.

"Perhaps, all of this is a coincidence. Perhaps Yuan Jun himself didn't realize what happened, but Wen Yuan must be notified of this matter as soon as possible. If he robs the camp and enters the camp, it will be a near-death situation!"

Zhang He nodded in agreement, but the problem was that they didn't know where Zhang Liao was now.

……

The mountains are dense and lush, and under the sun, they cast mottled light and shadow.

Zhang Liao was dressed in shabby black clothes, lying under the tree, covering his eyes with his hands to avoid the dazzling light and shadow produced by the swaying branches and leaves.

Around Zhang Liao, there were "soldiers" dressed in tatters lying all over the place, most of them were sound asleep.

The perimeter is full of sentries, security is not a problem, Zhang Liao hides his whereabouts very well by going out day and night, and his current location is already west of Huai County.

In other words, Zhang Liao bypassed Huai County and Yuan Shao's camp without anyone noticing.

"General, our army has arrived at the designated location."

"Okay, act tonight!" Zhang Liao said.

He looked around, then closed his eyes, planning to sleep.

Not knowing how much time passed, Zhang Liao faintly heard someone calling him.

"General!"

"General, wake up!"

Zhang Liao suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes, because during this period of time he was out at night, and Zhang Liao, as the general, naturally did not dare to sleep too deeply, which led to the lack of sleep.

Seeing Zhang Liao waking up, the subordinate hurriedly said: "General, a soldier and horse were found in the northwest, coming towards us!"

"What! Do you know who the soldiers are?" Zhang Liao asked.

"Look at the banner, it seems to be Chunyu."

Chunyu?Chunyu Qiong!

Zhang Liao immediately thought of this person. Chunyu Qiong was fighting with Yuan Shao. Zhang Liao knew about it, but according to previous information, Chunyu Qiong's current location should be south of Yewang County. In this direction of march, did he come back from Yewang?
Why does he appear here?
"General, the number of enemy troops is small, and our army will surely win the battle!" Cavalry Sima Yan Xing obviously wanted to fight.

To fight, or not to fight?

Zhang Liao stood up, stretched his waist involuntarily, and then groaned softly.

"Soldiers, coming here for this battle is not simply to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. Otherwise, our army would not have approved this black mountain skin. What the lord wants is the entire Hanoi County. I sneaked here to give Its fatal blow must not be exposed before this, otherwise, what is the point of the soldiers who have worked hard for more than ten days and beheaded some of their heads as meager military exploits!"

Zhang Liao explained that he wanted to tell the soldiers that not fighting was not because they were afraid, but because they did not earn enough!
"Order to hide on the mountain!"
