Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 267 Intimidation!Gongsun Clan Extinction

Cao Cao's envoy was sent to the west for only one day, and they arrived at Linyi County in Dongjun County, which is also a county on the border with Jibei Kingdom.

What Liu Bei encountered here were all yellow turban rangers, so naturally they could not pose a threat to Liu Bei's army.

"I've heard about the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou for a long time, with tens of thousands of troops, but I wandered around for several days, but I didn't see any of them. It turned out that Meng De had counted them all!" Liu Bei smiled at Guan Zhang.

Zhang Fei pulled Guan Yu and laughed happily: "I'm telling you, where is the yellow scarf? It turns out that Cao Mengde is eating alone! Hahaha!"

"Then he has to be able to eat. Looking at it now, he can't eat it!" Guan Yu stroked his beard, his face glowed red, and he looked eager to try.

"Second brother and third brother, I'll go there as soon as possible!"

At this time, Jian Yong who was at the side said, "Xuande, there are more than one hundred thousand Guanhai mercenaries, and our army only has a thousand. Do you want to consider the matter of support?"

"Don't worry about Xianhe, the Yellow Turban Army is nothing to worry about. Previously in the Bohai Kingdom, Guan Hai raised a hundred thousand soldiers, and was defeated by thousands of Bohai Kings. My second and third younger brothers are as brave as Dianwei. Wait for my help. , and cooperate with Meng Deli, and we will definitely be able to beat the Yellow Turban!" Liu Bei has decided to fight, "Xianhe, our army's battle line is getting longer, and the matter of food and grass will be in your charge."

Jian Yong bowed his hand and took the order.

Just as Liu Bei was preparing his troops and preparing to set off, Cao Cao's other courier also arrived at Ganling County, Qinghe County, and sent the request for help to Fu Xie.

Seeing Cao Cao's letter, Fu Xie sighed sincerely: "My lord is really a god! He can predict the battle situation in Yanzhou!"

It turned out that long before that, Liu Qing ordered Zhu Ling and Gao Shun to lead the army to the border of Dongjun County to prevent the war in Yanzhou from expanding. He also specifically explained to him that it was easy for Liu Bei and Cao Cao to ask for help, so he could lead his troops to support. Except for these two, the others watched from the sidelines.

The soldiers and horses were arranged in advance, and Cao Cao's request for help was foreseen and agreed in advance.

So Fu Xie took out the silk book and began to write a letter to Liu Qing. Since he was going to send troops, he naturally had to report the ins and outs of the matter to the lord clearly.

In addition, before leaving, the affairs of the county must be properly arranged, especially the defense of Ganling County, which is very empty after Zhu Lingjun's transfer.

Fu Xie explained all the details to Zhang Xian, a meritorious officer. The latter carefully wrote them down one by one. If there was anything unclear, he asked Fu Xie for instructions. After working together for several months, Zhang Xian had already felt Fu Taishou's temperament. He will not dislike his subordinates for their lack of knowledge or clumsiness, he only wants results.

Zhang Xian was promoted from the county officials by Fu Xie after he took office, and Yang Hui, who had been following him, became the county magistrate and concurrently the chief secretary.

After all, it is difficult to change the position of secretary if one is used to it.

Looking at Fu Xie who took the trouble to explain the county affairs, Yang Hui complained directly: "Okay, Nan Rong, just go out and kill the enemy, and Qinghe County will be handed over to me!"

Fu Xie smiled: "If I die, take care of Qian'er for me!"

"Let's go!" Yang Hui rushed angrily.

This sentence sounded very unlucky, and it was almost Fu Xie's mantra, whether it was when he was trapped in Changsha by Bocai or when the rebel army came to Ji County.

A few days later, Liu Qing's residence in Wei County.

Under the scorching sun, the windows in the study were also tightly closed, and the room was a bit stuffy, making it even more drowsy. Liu Qing was half asleep and half awake, listening to Zhaoji say the content of Fu Xiezhi's letter.

After listening, Liu Qing waved his hands to show that he knew about Cao Cao's siege, and then continued to close his eyes and meditate.

Because he had already made arrangements. He was the one who encouraged Liu Bei and Cao Cao to enter Yanzhou to fight. If there is any trouble, he will naturally respond to his requests.

After all, I, King Bohai, am a responsible man.

Seeing that Liu Qing was indifferent after listening to the letter, Cai Yan thought about it, and then said: "Husband, brother Meng De is asking for help, won't you make arrangements?"

"Huh? What other arrangements should I make?"

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, of course it was the arrangement to help Cao Cao, not only because of the relationship between Cao Cao and Cai's father who was both a teacher and a friend, but also Liu Qing and her matchmaker.

But she didn't say it out loud, Cai Yan had a sense of proportion in her heart, and it was not for her to intervene in major military affairs.

Seeing that Cai Yan was silent, Liu Qing suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Cai Yan who was about to say something, and couldn't help laughing: "You can say what you want, do you want me to send troops to support Meng De?"

Cai Yan nodded slightly.

"It's all because Nan Rong didn't explain clearly in the letter. Look again, I remember hearing the sentence 'I have followed the order'."

"That's true." Cai Yan said.

"Do you know what order 'follow the order'?"

Cai Yan shook his head.

"If you receive Cao Cao's request for help, we will send troops to support you." Liu Qing laughed.

"Husband has informed Governor Fu in advance that he is going to send troops to help Meng De?" Cai Yan blinked her big eyes, seeming to find it inconceivable.

Liu Qing reached out to take the letter from Cai Yan's hand, placed it on the side of the couch casually, then took her hand, and held it in the palm of his hand.

"Don't worry, Zhao Ji, Meng De will be fine. Nan Rong will deal with this matter, you and I have the right not to know."

Cai Yan was confused by Liu Qing's words. Sometimes he knows what he doesn't know, and sometimes he knows what he doesn't know. What kind of relationship is he trying to sell.

In fact, Liu Qing's meaning is very clear. With his status, it is not suitable for him to intervene in regional disputes, let alone confront Yuan Shi directly.

Now Yuan's primary goal is Dong Zhuo, and if he intervenes, he will probably get burned and not interfere in the Yanzhou war. This is the common view of Xun Yu and Guo Jia.

As for Fu Xie, Fu Xie went to support his old colleagues, what is he doing to me, the King of Bohai?
"Zhao Ji, don't you take a lunch break?"

Liu Qing patted the empty half of the bamboo couch while talking, Cai Yan blushed immediately, he had the nerve to go up, and he couldn't refuse directly, so he changed the topic and said: "Husband, father went to Luoyang, and once went I have visited a person and told me his hidden place, if you are interested, you can go to pay a visit.”

"Oh? Who?"

"This man's surname is Hu, his name is Zhao, and his style name is Kong Ming. He is a great sage of the time. His father said that this man was praised for his peerless talent when he was weak. He studied classics and history when he was young. He is knowledgeable and skilled in calligraphy. However, he has always hated the corruption of the imperial court, despised eunuchs and relatives for power and power, so he hated official career, and repeatedly rejected the prefectures and counties and the government's summons. .”

Hearing the word Kongming, Liu Qing trembled, and then came to his senses, it should not be Zhuge Kongming, Zhuge Kongming is still a child now.

But hearing that Cai Yan admired him so much, he should be a great person. Unfortunately, Liu Qing was so ignorant that he didn't even know that there were two Kong Mings at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Repeatedly refusing to be prosecuted, is this something that ordinary people can do? Countless poor people wanted to be prosecuted but failed, but he abandoned it like a shoe, and finally chose to disappear.

Such a person, the first thing Liu Qing thinks of is Mr. Shui Jing.

"Since he hates officialdom so much, how can he be used by me?" Liu Qing asked suspiciously.

"Mr. Hu Zhao hates the imperial court, not the world. Your husband is not only famous for bravery, but also for benevolence. The changes in Jizhou are obvious to all. How can Mr. Hu Zhao not know?" Cai Yan said.

Liu Qing connected the past and the past and thought about it.

When Cai Yong left Jizhou, he visited him. Cai Yong told Cai Yan again, and Cai Yan recommended it to him. Liu Qing seemed to have thought of something.

This seems to suggest that Xu Yuan went straight back to Ma to recommend Zhuge, and Cai Yong only recommended Zhuge after he visited, which shows that Hu Zhao also intends to do so.

Just like Zhuge Liang is interested in Liu Bei, the so-called recommendation and three visits are just going through the motions and giving a step to shape each other. To put it bluntly, this is a high EQ approach.

Modern thinking knows this well.

Liu Qing nodded "thoughtfully", expressing his agreement with Cai Yan's words.

"Zhaoji is right. Where is Mr. Hu Zhao? I want to visit him in person and ask him for help. If I can't do it once, I'll go twice. If I can't do it twice, I'll go three times!"

"If my husband has this heart, my husband will definitely be inspired by my husband and come out to help."

The two chatted back and forth, but Liu Qing didn't feel sleepy at all, so he just got up and sat down.

"Last time Cui Yan said that he wanted Cui Lin to report on his duties, so I think it should be here."

Liu Qing deliberately remembered this matter, precisely because Cui Lin is also a rare talent. Conquering the world is easy, but defending the world is difficult, and it is even more difficult to govern the world well.

"Cui Lin arrived yesterday. My husband inspected the drought yesterday. When he came back, it was already dark, so we didn't see him." Cai Yan explained.

"So that's the case, then you and I will meet him today."

"I?"

"Damn, the king and the queen summoned him together, and Fang showed great respect. In the future, he will work harder."

Cai Yan looked at Liu Qing, thinking that after becoming the king of Bohai, Liu Qing had already begun to show deep thoughts that did not match his age.

In the main hall of the mansion, Liu Qing sat on it, beside Zhaoji, Guo Jia and Li Wen were also present.

Liu Qing saw from a distance, a short figure walking towards him.

This is too short, Liu Qing thought.

It wasn't until Cui Lin stepped into the hall that Liu Qing realized that it wasn't Cui Lin who was short, but his appearance, he was clearly a childish boy.

The young man was dressed in a green robe and his hair was wrapped in black of the same color. He walked into the hall softly and slowly, his steps were steady, without any stage fright.

Having seen many people, Liu Qing now has a bit of ability to judge people. Just looking at this young demeanor, Liu Qing knows that this person's experience is more complicated than that of a young man looking for people.

Liu Qing took another look.

Name: Cui Lin, courtesy name Deru

Grade: Outstanding

Stamina: 31
Force: 22
Command: 34
Intelligence: 72
Politics: 81
Charisma: 76
Features: [Revitalization] People's livelihood development under the rule, increase the speed of regional development, and revitalize agriculture and commerce.

[Late blooming] With the accumulation of ruling experience, the corresponding attributes can be increased, leading +1, intelligence +1, and politics +1 every ten years.

[Aspirations] Cui Lin teenagers aspire, and can inspire others, improve morale or motivation.

Compared with many people, Cui Lin's attributes are not outstanding, but he has a growth characteristic: [Late Bloom], the three attributes of leadership, intelligence, and politics +1. Pushing to 90, the visibility of governance capabilities has also improved.

However, you have to live long.

Cui Lin saluted in a regular manner, and said in a loud voice: "Cui Lin, I pay my respects to the King and Queen!"

As soon as the sense of ceremony came up, Liu Qing received a political bonus of +0.81, and the current political bonus is 76.81.

"Get up quickly!" Liu Qingping gestured with his hands raised.

Cui Lin stood up straight again in the hall, and nodded to Guo Jia and Li Wen on both sides.

"Your brother Cui Yan never mentioned it, you are still a teenager." Liu Qing said.

"You don't have to be young to be ambitious!" Cui Lin replied.

Hey, it's really small and ambitious. When I was your age, my parents had to pick me up after school, Liu Qing thought.

I have to admit that the ancients were really awesome, Huo Qubing was able to defeat the Xiongnu to become a marquis, and Liu Qing was eighteen years old, standing like a minion.

The achievements that Eighteenth has achieved now are unfathomable.

"It's good that one's ambition is not high, how old are you this year?"

"Thirteen."

"Then the king and queen listen carefully. How do you report your duties?"

Cui Lin once again bowed to the King and Queen of Bohai, and then began to talk about the state affairs of Hejian.

From Cui Yan's entry into power, to how he appeased the people, persuaded the rich noble families to contribute money, and resumed production, and how he rectified the administration of officials and eliminated the moths that had previously lived in the bureaucracy. Liu Qing listened to all these. Be differently engrossed.

It's not because Cui Lin said it well, but because Cui Yan did a good job. Letting the big families of the gentry and the tyrants participate in the restoration of production is more profound than just borrowing money and grain from him. Liu Qing's current method is too serious. Relying too much on the lowest level, but ignoring the middle-level backbone of society, although he knows this is wrong, but Liu Qing has not yet found a balance point.

Because many times, they are opposite, Liu Qing has to make a choice, Liu Qing chooses to support the people at the bottom, but it does not mean that he has to give up other things.

Cui Yan's approach provided Liu Qing with a direction. If it works, it can be improved and promoted.

Now Liu Qing's methods of governing the nine counties of Jizhou can be described as varied.

Finally, Cui Lin sighed about the problem of Youzhou.

"Gongsun Zan's actions are very fast. After controlling Liaoxi County, he has already approached Youbeiping County. Moreover, because of the resurgence of war in Youzhou, the Wuhuan tribes that were originally peaceful are now starting to make trouble again. Cui Guoxiang estimated that within seven months, Gongsun Zan Then you can occupy Youbeiping County, and troops will come to Yuyang County."

Gongsun Zan's expansion came earlier and faster.

What kind of medicine did Yuan Shi give him?How can it make him crazy.

Youzhou Mu?
If it is Youzhou Mu, it can indeed drive him crazy.

You must know that Liu Qing has made countless achievements, and he has fought so far, and he is still waiting for the imperial court to give him a Bingzhou shepherd. If he can become a Youzhou shepherd by taking down the city of Youzhou, then Liu Qing would have been pushed to Luoyang by force. went.

It's just that Gongsun Zan, who came from a powerful background, may not understand this truth, or he does, but he just can't restrain his ambition.

What Cui Lin said made Guo Jialiwen and the others fall into deep thought. Now Yanzhou is in chaos, and Youzhou in the north is in chaos again.

"Has Zhao Yun arrived in Hejian?"

"General Zhao has arrived in Hejian, and he is now stationed in Yi County." Cui Lin replied.

In Yi County, Liu Qing had the impression that he made a fortune there, Cheng Yuanzhi conquered Zhuo County, and his house was confiscated by him.

"Fengxiao, what do you think about the matter in Youzhou?"

Guo Jia replied: "My lord, it is rumored that Gongsun Zan is strong in battle. He has a white horse righteous follower under his command, who rides and shoots first-rately. The chief commander does not have many soldiers and horses. They are all county soldiers and have no combat experience. Da Sima can't support himself alone, and you will be in Beiping in July, and within this year, you will be able to occupy Youzhou."

"Who is Gongsun Zan? He dares to covet Youzhou. The Han Dynasty hasn't died yet."

Liu Qing scolded sharply. When Dian Wei heard that the Lord was angry, he immediately stepped forward and knelt with his hands together, "Master, if Zilong is not enough, I will help Zilong! I can compare with Zilong and see who will kill him first." Get down on Gongsun Zan's dog's head!"

Liu Qing let go of his hands, Dian Wei stared at him: what does this mean?
Do you want him to step back, or do you want him to leave immediately?

"Dian Wei, my lord does not want to fight Gongsun Zan."

Guo Jia uttered a voice to rescue Dian Wei, and Dian Wei came to Guo Jia's case again.

"Why? This bureaucrat is so presumptuous, attacking the great Sima of the dynasty, or his boss Youzhou Mu, and doing it aboveboard, isn't this tantamount to rebellion?"

Guo Jia didn't know what to say for a while, and if he wanted to explain, he had to start with Yuan Kai and Dong Zhuo fighting against each other.

"Because behind him is the Yuan family!" Cui Lin said straight to the point.

"Yuan Shi, it's Yuan Shi again, then it's even more time to beat this bureaucrat! Last time, Yuan Shao shouldn't be let back!"

Cui Lin can see this level, it is not like the vision that this age should have, maybe it was Cui Yan who told him.

"My lord, you can send a letter of warning first, ordering Gongsun Zan not to cross Youbeiping County, let alone intentionally harm Youzhou Mu, otherwise, he will make the King of Bohai his enemy," Guo Jia suggested.

This was a kind of warning, but as long as Gongsun Zan had a little sense, he should avoid making an enemy of the King of Bohai.

Even if he hasn't seen Liu Qing's heroic figure in battle, he must have heard of King Bohai's illustrious military exploits and reputation.

After Bingzhou is included in the bag, only Youzhou is left north of the river. According to the phalanx of "Great Hebei" and then "Great Henan", the next one is Youzhou, and the strongest villain of Youzhou, Undoubtedly it is Gongsun Zan of the Gongsun family.

Well, yes, Gongsun Zan won't be alone by then.

"Fengxiao's words are in line with my wishes, and there are still many changes in Bingzhou. Before obtaining Bingzhou, it is not appropriate to cause extra problems." Liu Qing glanced at the secretary who was sitting on the sidelines, and said sharply: "Send the letter to Gongsun Zan according to my intention, if you dare to get involved Yuyang County, or attack Liu Yu, and the Gongsun clan will be destroyed!"

Concise and concise, righteous and strict.

Liu Qing seldom got angry in front of Cai Yan, although it wasn't against her, it still made her heart tremble.

Cui Lin's still childish face was a little dazed, and he looked at Liu Qing with bright eyes, obviously already shocked by the domineering aura emitted by Liu Qing's tiger body.

What a brat.

Even Guo Jia was a little speechless.

His suggestion was a warning, but what Liu Qing said was a blatant threat.

The destruction of the Gongsun family, what an arrogance, Guo Jia seems to have thought of Gongsun Zan's distraught look when he saw the letter.

But so what, he can't understand Liu Qing, so he can only hold back, unless he has no brains.

The threatening letter was also written, and the matter of Gongsun Zan was exposed. On the whole, Liu Qing is still satisfied with Cui Lin, especially at his age, which can be said to be a pleasant surprise.

There is a shortage of generals to lead the army to fight, but there is even a shortage of capable ministers and advisers to develop in the rear.

Small-scale battles are fought for generals, while large-scale wars are fought for money, food, and national power.

Just as Liu Qing was leading a few people to continue talking and discussing about the matter in Hejian, a loud notification suddenly interrupted everyone.

"Luo Yang hurry up! Luo Yang hurry up!"

Liu Qing's eyes suddenly brightened, Luo Yang hurried up!
If you guessed right, then you are the Bingzhou Mu who has been thinking about it!
