Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 273
Lu Bu called twice, but Chen Gong didn't respond.

Looking at the expression on Chen Gong's face, he was even more devastated than he had been wandering for a few months.

After a long time, Chen Gong seemed to have smoothed out the serious relationship and came back to his senses.

"Fengxian, why didn't you tell me if you wanted to attack! It is because Bao Xin, Minister of Jibei, blocked the Yellow Turban Army in the east, that the Eastern Commandery is now balanced. The strength of the Yuan family and Dong Zhuo's army is inferior to ours. At that time, the Yellow Turbans invaded the hinterland of Dongjun, and Puyang was in danger!"

"Mr. Gongtai, have you made a mistake? Bao Xin is under Yuan Shao's tent. He came to Puyang to plot something wrong. Otherwise, why didn't you make it clear!" Lu Bu explained.

Chen Gong sighed again. Lu Bu had no experience of what happened, so it's normal not to know.

After the Chen Liu League, Yanzhou seemed to be divided into several factions, the pro-Yuan faction, represented by Yuan Yiqiaomao, the Liu Dai faction, and the neutral faction, such as Zhang Miao and Bao Xin.

But in name, Zhongli still recognizes Yuan Shao as the Yanzhou shepherd. After all, they were born out of the Dong Lianjun, and they still obeyed the edict of the Ruyang court.

Therefore, Bao Xin must have been instructed by Yuan Shao to come to Puyang!
What is his purpose in doing this?

Chen Gong followed this line, thinking about it step by step, and finally, he thought that this matter was about Cao Cao who was stationed in Jibei Kingdom for Bao Xin.

Lv Bu killed Bao Xin, if Cao Cao wants to avenge him and invite troops to attack, the balance of power in Yanzhou will be broken, and with the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Cao Cao may attack Xu Rong for him.

And Bao Xin was the one who broke the situation.

What a ruthless method!Chen Gong sighed in his heart.

Without further ado, Chen Gong went to the county mansion bookstore, took out his brush and ink and began to write. Lu Bu followed in a daze. Although Chen Gong had already explained it, he didn't seem to understand why Cao Cao came to attack Dongjun.

"Sir, how should we deal with the aftermath of this matter?"

"Bao Xin was defeated and beheaded. Yuan Shao may not have received the news at this time. I took advantage of this time to write a letter to Cao Cao to inform him of Yuan Shao's tricks. I hope he can understand and don't fall into Yuan Shao's hands! Fengxian, hurry up and prepare Hurry up, this letter must be sent to Cao Cao before the news of Bao Xin's death!"

Lu Bu said that he went out and made arrangements.

Chen Gong wrote vigorously, clearly stated the ins and outs of the matter in one breath, and clearly presented his own speculation on it. After writing, Chen Gong took a few breaths. The weather was hot and the ink dries quickly. After the packaging was completed, Chen Gong Quickly took the letter and walked outside the house.

The messenger is already waiting there with the horse.

"Prepare enough to eat and drink, and send this letter to Cao Cao in Lu County as soon as possible!"

The messenger hid the letter close to his body and rode away.

"Don't worry, sir, Bingzhou athletes are good at riding, and he is even better!" Lu Bu praised his Bingzhou soldiers.

Chen Gong glanced at Lu Bu, but went back home without saying a word.

In just a few days after taking Puyang, he doubted his interpretation and choice for the second time.

……

After following Guo Tu's plan, Yuan Shao was looking forward to it, but at the same time he was restless.

"General rule, if you say this plan, will it work?"

"Oh my lord, you have already asked me five times! Don't worry, my lord. If Bao Xin dies, Cao Cao will be furious. Who is Lu Bu, but a master, who dares to occupy the county and even kill the chief of the county? Cao Cao hates evil , how can we tolerate it?"

Although Guo Tu explained it again, Yuan Shao's hesitation did not dissipate.

"Report-"

"My envoy, General Bao Xin and Lu Bu encountered each other outside Puyang City. General Bao Xin has been killed by Lu Bu."

"It's done!" Guo Tu said darkly, not daring to make too much noise.

Hearing this news, Yuan Shao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body also relaxed.

Bao Xin was dead, even if he wanted to repent, it would be of no avail, he hinted to himself twice in his heart that Bao Xin's privately staying in the army in Lu County was an act of disobedience, so death deserves more than justification.

"My lord, the next step is to inform Cao Cao of the news of Bao Xin's death, and intensify the conflict between Cao and Lu. The two will fight, and both sides will suffer. Yanzhou will all belong to the lord!"

Yuan Shao nodded speciously, not as happy as he imagined.

Yuan Kai often taught him to make good use of people's hearts, to use both cruel and soft-hearted people. Bao Xin's death made Yuan Shao realize that he was far from being able to use people's hearts.

……

Taiyuan County, Jinyang.

Liu Qing arrived in Jinyang yesterday evening. It was not until outside the gate of Jinyang that Liu Qing felt the courtesy that a state shepherd should have.

Receive the wind, wash the dust, have a dinner party, and welcome the leader's three companies.

The first time I saw Zang Min, I have to say that he is quite pleasing to the eye, well-governed, and after being hyped by the circle culture, this kind of person is easy to become famous.

What's more, Zang Min has actually done a good job in suppressing the rebellion. The position of prefect is almost impervious. Liu Hong has indeed sold many officials, but he has to admit that he has also promoted many talents.

Locally, Guo Yu and Zang Min are all talents who can guard one side, but in Luoyang, there are even more talents. Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun are all talents discovered and promoted by Liu Hong.

The climate in Jinyang is obviously much drier. When it comes to August, Father-in-law Sun's viciousness has increased a bit. Liu Qing never goes out if there is nothing special.

The first thing Liu Qing did when he arrived in Jinyang was to summon the prefects of the counties, Du Zan, the deputy prefect of Wuyuan, and Le He from Yunzhong County, and sent a letter to Gan Lai from Yanmen County, ordering him to come. Jinyang debriefs.

In addition, the messenger who went to the grassland to invite Qian Ying has also been sent.

This time, Qianying's Xianbei cooperation was the first to win Bingzhou without bloodshed. Liu Qing must reward Qianying when he comes back.

Another meaning is: Bohai King Liu Qing went to Bingzhou Mu, and the Xianbei army became frightened when they heard the name of Bohai King and disbanded on the spot.

Listening to stories that are outrageous, but not outrageous, who likes to hear them!
The place where Liu Qing lived was remodeled from the original Governor’s Mansion. The style has nothing to do with Liu Qing’s liking. One word describes it as rough. From Dong Zhuo to Bingzhou Governor, to Zhang Yi, to Ding Yuan, and then to Dong Zhuo All of Bingzhou Mu are rough men.

Not only the Governor's Mansion, but the entire Jinyang City gives people the impression of a rough guy, or to expand it a bit, the entire Bingzhou is a rough guy.

After Dong Zhuo appointed Bingzhou Mu, he has been ordered to quell the chaos in Sanfu. He doesn't care about Bingzhou's affairs, and each county handles it by itself.

Now in the governor's mansion, there are really piles of documents.

Say it's not important, definitely not, say it's important, Bingzhou is already like this, what else can we do!

Looking at the pile of documents, Liu Qing felt a headache.

It's fine to catch Guo Jia's strong man, this kind of desk work is not suitable for him, it would be great if Xun Yu was here, or...

Call Gu Yong to Jinyang. In addition to the prefects of the counties, Dong Zhao is in charge of water conservancy and farming in Jizhou, and Han Heng is in charge of recruiting troops.

Of course, Liu Qing didn't let Guo Jia sit idle. The two of them had already sorted out the situation in Bingzhou. Now Shangdang County lacks a prefect, how to deal with Yu Fuluo, the son of the Southern Huns Shanyu in Xihe County, and the area occupied by the Qiang people. Shuofang County in Shangjun, when will troops be sent to get it back, and how to defend it after getting it back.

The reason why these places are lost is because no one is stationed and they are at the mercy of others. If you want to keep these places for a long time, you must not only have dangers to defend, but also consume countless soldiers, supplies, and rations.

Although Bingzhou's resources are fragrant, Bingzhou has just as many troubles.

"Fengxiao, Bingzhou occupies such a vast area. In Shangjun and Shuofang counties, it is easy to send troops to expel the Qiang people, but it is impossible for our army to garrison all the time, but the Qiang people can come and go like the wind. Do you have an idea?"

"My lord, it's better to ask Wen Ruo for advice on governing the people."

Guo Jia directly stated that this is not a professional counterpart.

"When my lord summons Gu Yong to Jinyang, he can order Zhang Xiu to escort him. Zhang Xiu should have a way to deal with the Qiang people.

"That's a great idea! Let's do it like this!" Liu Qing flipped through the documents aimlessly, throwing aside the documents without valid information. Is this king a threat?"

Guo Jia smiled, and replied: "The right to choose this matter is really in Gongsun Zan's hands. If he wants to take the path of death, then there is no other way."

"My lord, in fact, there is another best plan for the situation in Youzhou."

"Oh? There is the best solution, why didn't you say it earlier."

"Because I know the lord will not choose."

Liu Qing glanced at Guo Jia meaningfully: You are not the roundworm in my stomach, how do you know that I will not choose.

"Tell me!" Liu Qing wanted to challenge.

"My lord really wants to listen?"

"Nonsense!" Liu Qing threw an invalid document over, but halfway through, he fell to the ground weakly.

Guo Jia straightened his body and said, "Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan both have their own strengths. Liu Yu has the ability to govern the county and submits internally and externally. He is the winner of Wen, while Gongsun Zan is well versed in bow and horse. He is strong in soldiers and horses. He is the winner of Wu. In times of governance, the winner of the text wins, and the winner of the martial arts wins in times of chaos. If two people are allowed to fight each other, it will definitely end in the end of both losers, and there is only one ending."

"what?"

"Gongsun Zan defeated Liu Yu, and at the same time, Gongsun Zan was ruined."

Liu Qing thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case.

"Therefore, the best plan for filial piety is to wait for Gongsun Zan to kill Liu Yu and ruin his reputation. This king will be famous as a teacher, so he can attack Gongsun Zan?"

"Furthermore, the two are fighting for a battle of one state. Even the winner must be exhausted and exhausted. My lord's attack at this time is at the heart of the matter."

"Clap clap clap!"

Liu Qing clapped his hands and applauded. It has to be said that it is indeed much stronger than the deterrence method Liu Qing is currently adopting, and he may even conquer Youzhou in the first battle, and he will completely control the "half of the country" north of the river. However, as Guo Jia expected , I would not choose such a solution.

Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. If you change the saying, it becomes easy to get a territory, but hard to find a good minister.

If Liu Qing really raised his army to attack Youzhou, no matter whether it was Gongsun Zan or the so-called Wuhuan Xianbei, they would all be wiped out, but no one could handle Youzhou's problems better than Liu Yu.

Even Liu Qing's way of dealing with Xianbei was through coercion and temptation, coupled with Qianying's marriage bond, the stable situation is now possible.

But to deal with the Southern Huns, it is more simple and rude, directly cutting the land and relocating the people, and erasing them. Next, if Zhang Xiu has no better way to deal with the Qiang people, Liu Qing also plans to use the method of expulsion and conquest, even to the point of defeating the Qiang people. Go to the territory of the foreign race.

Kou can go and I can go, it sounds very exciting, but unfortunately, it is also temporary.

"Fengxiao knows me that the great Han society is already in a precarious situation. A capable and virtuous minister like Liu Yu will die one by one. In the end, there will be only a few wolfish and ambitious people left to conquer each other. The winner in the end will win Replace the Han Dynasty."

"The lord wants to help the building to collapse, and he has worked hard with good intentions. Guo Jia bows to him."

"All people with lofty ideals and virtues are my comrades. If Gongsun Zan oversteps, this king will not tolerate it. Zilong's steel gun, I am afraid that he has not drunk blood for a long time."

After saying that, Liu Qing flipped through the documents again out of boredom, and Feng Xiao also flipped through the documents. After a moment of silence, Guo Jia suddenly said: "My lord, here is a private letter from Dong Zhuo."

With that said, Guo Jia directly presented the letter to Liu Qing.

"Dong Zhuo's letter?"

Liu Qing took it and saw that there was nothing special about it, so he handed it back to Guo Jia, "order it to be delivered to Luoyang Dong Zhuo."

"My lord, don't you want to read the details?"

"It's ridiculous. Is this king still coveting Dong Zhuo's affairs? If you want something, this king can tell Dong Zhuo directly." Liu Qing said with indifference.

Guo Jia was secretly amazed again, the lord was indeed an extraordinary person, able to resist such curiosity, to be honest, Guo Jia himself was itching to see what happened.

"The lord is really a gentleman, Guo Jia admires it!"

"Okay, stop flattering and think more about Xihe County. After all, Yu Fuluo has contributed to the big man. This king is thinking, why not keep his tribe."

"My lord benevolent!"

Liu Qing frowned, ignored Guo Jia's flattery, and said to himself: "By the way, this king also wrote a letter to Dong Zhuo, asking him to recommend some talents for this king, otherwise this state and county will be really difficult to deal with! "

While speaking, Liu Qing was preparing to write.

"My lord is wise!"

"Dianwei!" Liu Qing suddenly shouted to the outside.

Dian Wei rushed into the hall with a bang, his eyes flicked, looked at Guo Jia, and finally fell on Liu Qing.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

"Put one of your halberds on Feng Xiao's back!"

"okay!"

"My lord, spare me!"

……

Jibei Kingdom, the head of Lu County.

With a sword in one hand, Cao Cao leaned weakly on the female wall, looking out of the city along the crenel from time to time, for fear that the Yellow Turbans would attack again.

"What round is it today?"

"Three rounds." Cao Hong replied.

"Very well, the Yellow Turban hasn't killed anyone on the top of the wall so far, but after three rounds, most of the rolling wood and lightning stones prepared for many days have been consumed."

Cao Cao seemed worried in his words. In half a day, the Yellow Turban launched three rounds of attacks. Cao Cao personally guarded the south gate, while the east gate was handed over to Liu Bei, and the north gate and west gate were guarded by Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun respectively.

"Is there any news from other doors?"

"According to the agreement, no news is good news!" Cao Hong replied.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and looked out again. The Yellow Turban Army seemed to be retreating, otherwise, according to this time, the fourth round should have come.

"Report-"

"General Qi, the Yellow Turban Army has retreated."

Stop attacking?
Also, the city wall of Lu County is a bit higher than the average city. It is estimated that Guan Hai did not notice this when he built the ladder.

"Investigate and report again, closely monitor the movements of the Yellow Turban Army!" Cao Cao confessed solemnly, and after the sentries left, Cao Cao slid down the city wall and did not care about the dirt and dirt on the ground, and finally he could rest assured rested.

If you still think about washing clothes at this time, your heart is too tired!

"Brother, can you send someone out of the city to clean up the rolling wood and thunder stone?" Cao Hong asked for instructions.

"Don't worry, the soldiers are fighting bloody battles, let them rest for a while, and it won't be too late to move in the evening." Cao Cao said.

The Yellow Turban Army will definitely not attack at night, and it may take a while to lengthen the ladder. The only disadvantage of moving at night is that you have to stay with a bunch of dead people.

"General, someone is coming from outside the city!"

"who?"

"It seems to be messengers. There are two of them, and they don't seem to have a good relationship."

The relationship between the two messengers was not good, so Cao Cao thought of Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo immediately.

Maybe this letter was sent by the two parties to win them over.

"Put down the hanging basket and retrieve the letters. The gates of the city cannot be opened lightly during wartime," Cao Cao said.

So a bamboo basket was tied with a hemp rope, and it hung tremblingly down to the city, and brought the letter up.

Looking at the two letters, Cao Cao opened one at will.

After reading it, he was stunned by the contents of the letter.

"Bao Xin is dead!"

"Lu Bu!"

Cao Cao couldn't believe it for a while, and he didn't even want to look down. Why did Bao die in Dongjun when he followed Yuan Shao's order to go?

With doubts, Cao Cao carefully read the letter without missing a word. In the second half of the letter, he basically explained the cause of Bao Xin's death, and even analyzed it clearly.

The spearhead was directed at Yuan Shao, and the logic in it was quite self-consistent, and even Cao Cao objected to Bao Xin's return to his command, which was also the reason.

With doubts, Cao Cao read the second letter again.

Seeing the handwriting, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning.

It turned out to be Yuan Shao's handwriting, he wrote the letter himself, did he explain it himself?Cao Cao has preconceived ideas and agrees with Chen Gong's logic, and looking at Yuan Shao's letter, it seems to be self-justified and forced to explain.

Because Bao Xinren was summoned by Yuan Shao, and it was also Yuan Shao's order to go to Puyang. Now that he is dead, whose fault is it?

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Cao Cao suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. When he raised his head, he stretched his eyes wide and spread the tears contained in them.

"Brother, why are you laughing?" Cao Hong was suddenly dumbfounded by Cao Cao's laugh.

"I laugh at my elder brother Bao Xin, he doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, and he ended up killing himself!"

Cao Cao yelled sharply, and without waiting for Cao Hong to reply, he said again: "Laugh at me, Cao Mengde, because you don't know people's hearts, so that my brother died unexpectedly! Hahaha... woo woo woo..." Laughing, Cao Cao suddenly burst into tears .

Cao Hong seemed to know what was going on, Bao Xin was the only one who could be called "my brother" by Cao Cao, and the letter meant that Bao Xin was dead.

Cao Hong didn't know the details, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only stand aside stupidly, blocking Cao Cao with his body, trying not to be seen by the guards.

After all, it is not a glorious thing for the coach to cry.

Even though Cao Cao vented his emotions, he seemed to suddenly remember something, raised his head and said to Cao Hong, "Zi Lian! Quickly call Mr. Cheng Yu to come here to see me!"

"Here!" Cao Hong responded with special spirit, hoping to cheer Cao Cao up.

Before he could turn his head, Cao Cao said again: "Wait!"

Cao Hong looked at him puzzled.

I saw the sadness on Cao Cao's face gradually dissipated, his thick eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and his narrow eyes were narrowed.

"Send someone to intercept and kill the person who sent the letter, and bring your head up to see me!"
