Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 277 Zhang Liao fought the Xiongnu, Liu Qing "fighted" Xianbei

The scorching sun, the loess cracked, and the strong wind blew up the sky full of dust. Even though the few plants had dried and turned yellow, they still held onto the land firmly to avoid being blown away by the strong wind.

The river bends down several characters. Although it is close to the big river, there are still several deserts. Around Meiji, the royal court of the Southern Huns are all on the edge of the desert. The tribe of the Southern Huns settled on the banks of the Nanshui.

After leaving the court for a year, when Yu Fuluo returned to Zhe, everything changed.

The five tribes of the Southern Xiongnu rebelled, and not only Yu was killed, but even the royal family was almost wiped out. Yu Fuluo sent troops to help the Han Dynasty conquer the Yellow Turban, and it was saved from this difficulty.

A pair of fierce eyes stared at the desolate scene in front of him, as if he had some kind of hatred for this land. Yu Fuluo had already crossed the river, and the soldiers and horses behind him were crossing the river as before. This trip to Yanmen, he is going to Yanmen Wuzhou, seek justice from Wuzhou Marquis Liu Qing.

He thought that there was nothing wrong with suppressing the rebellion of the Southern Huns, but it was the fault of the rebels, and his father was also killed by the rebels.He wanted to ask Liu Qing why he had to vent his anger on the Southern Huns after suppressing the rebels.

Soldiers and horses pass through Luoxian County, Dingxiang County. There is a section of the Grand Canyon running from northwest to southeast. On the top of the canyon, there are still the remains of the Great Wall built during the Warring States Period, but it has been completely abandoned due to disrepair and the border. Yes, including Chengguan.

Walking in this kind of valley road, Yu Fuluo can always think of the tragedy of Guluo City Canyon, always think about it, but always can't figure out how tragic it must be inside when the flames burn.

Fortunately, we passed the canyon road smoothly all the way.

After leaving the valley, he walked another half day to reach Wuzhou County, his destination.

In the south of Wuzhou City, a little south of the mouth of the Li Canyon, Zhang Liao was enjoying the shade under a very bald tree. Compared with other trees, this tree is not bad.

"General Qi, the Southern Huns have left the valley and are currently camping outside the valley." The sentry reported.

Yu Fuluo thought that his march was secret, and because of the desolation of the place, no one would discover him. In fact, Liu Qing received the news as soon as he returned to Shanyu Wangting.

What a joke, Bingzhou is now Liu Qing's strategic plan. As a large-scale army in Bingzhou, how could Liu Qing lose control of his situation.

On the abandoned Great Wall, there were pairs of eyes watching their march, and then passed the news to Zhang Liao.

After Zhang Liao rushed to Wuzhou, he was not in a hurry to enter the city, nor did he plan to defend the city, but planned to fight in the field with cavalry.

"It seems that Yu Fuluo intends to use Taniguchi to hide and rest, and then launch an attack tomorrow. Then tonight, let him taste the smell of the mountain fire again. How much firewood have you prepared?"

"Don't worry, general, it's enough to burn the Huns to ashes." A military commander replied.

When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately said: "Who told you to prepare so much? My lord said that Yu Fuluo has made meritorious service to the Han. You only need to frustrate him and burn some tents and luggage, but you can't burn them." died!"

"Alright, alright, General Zhang, what if Jiang Fuluo is burned to death?"

"Swords and guns have no eyes, water and fire are ruthless. Since it is a battle, there will always be casualties. I have shown mercy. Whether I can live or not depends on myself."

Soon, as night fell, tents were set up in the canyon. In order to conceal people's eyes and ears, only a small fire was raised among the Huns.

The Huns sat in circles on the still warm ground, far away from the fire. Even so, they were still sweating from the heat.

The Huns advocated freedom. To put it bluntly, they had poor military discipline. At times like this, Yuvro generally didn't care about them, as long as they didn't yell.

Little did they know that, taking advantage of the darkness, someone was approaching quietly, and precisely avoided the eyes and ears of the Huns.

It was midnight, and the coolness of the night climbed up, diluting the burning feeling, and the soldiers of the Huns began to fall asleep one after another.

"General, it's almost time."

"let's start!"

Zhang Liao didn't talk nonsense and ordered directly.

With a sound of "嗖", a fire arrow quietly swept across the night sky, drawing a beautiful arc, which was the signal for action.

Immediately, bundles of firewood were thrown from a high place, and fell on the open space at the bottom of the valley with a crackling sound. If they were unlucky, the tent was directly smashed down, and the people inside were hurt and screamed.

Many Huns were awake at first, but the sudden change made them confused, but after seeing the piles of firewood, a fool can guess that there is an enemy attack, and the enemy is going to attack with fire.

Afterwards, Huoya suddenly rained down from the cliffs on both sides.

"Quickly retreat! Quickly retreat!" Yu Fuluo ordered, while quickly jumping on his horse, and fled towards the middle of the valley.

Suddenly, several arrows fell in front of him, and a wall of fire suddenly ignited in front of him, spreading in an uproar, blocking the way he was going.

That was too much firewood for Zhang Liao, so he simply discarded it at the narrowest part of the canyon, and directly blocked Yu Fuluo's retreat.

"Follow me!" Yu Fuluo yelled, turned his horse back, and rushed out of the valley.

Sparks ignited everywhere, but they were not too big. Except for the unlucky ones who were stunned to death by firewood, they could basically escape from the fire.

Not long after Yu Fuluo left, he saw a fire dragon coming towards him, which was naturally a soldier.

"I didn't think about it, but I was discovered and fell into the enemy's tricks!" Yu Fuluo said: "The despicable Han people know how to attack with fire!"

Yu Fuluo couldn't help thinking of Guluo City again, sweating hot and cold. After being really burned by the flames, the unimaginable part of Guluo City once occupied his mind for a while. Fortunately, he escaped.

The fire dragon stopped in front of him, and a fully armed general came out to face him. He was young and heroic, much younger than Yu Fuluo, who was in his early twenties. He held an iron lance in his hand, and a little bit of fire light was reflected on the edge of the lance. , as if to cut him off from the road.

"Yu Fuluo, Zhang Liao has been here for a long time!"

"Is it you who set the fire?"

"You should be thankful that my lord specifically told you to save your life, otherwise this fire may directly burn you all."

Zhang Liao had already conceived that as long as enough fire starters were given, Zhang Liao would lead his army to block the entrance of the valley, and when they escaped and killed a group, the opponent would have their entire army wiped out.

Yu Fuluo didn't object to what Zhang Liao said, the fire was obviously too amateurish, but the wall of fire was quite fierce, as if the story was going to lead him here.

"Are you from Liu Qing?"

"It's taboo to call my lord by his name. I'll write it down. You can call my lord the King of Bohai, or Bingzhou Mu. Tell me, what's your plan for coming to Yanmen?"

"Where are the tens of thousands of my Southern Huns!" Yu Fuluo asked.

"This question, I can give you a chance to ask my lord in person." Zhang Liao said, this was Liu Qing's instruction.

Yu Fuluo looked at Zhang Liao in disbelief, apparently not believing that it would be so smooth?

Zhang Liao quickly added: "However, I want you to put down the weapon in your hand, then bind your hands and go to see my lord."

"Then you have to ask me if the knife in my hand will agree!" Yu Fuluo retorted.

Zhang Liaorao looked at Yu Fuluo with interest, and with the help of a weak torch, he pointed the light at the soldiers behind him, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Abandoning helmets and armor, fleeing in panic, without a blade in hand, why fight?" Zhang Liao said.

Yu Fuluo heard his ears warm, and immediately looked around at his soldiers. There were very few soldiers holding weapons. When they fled, most of them discarded their armor and weapons. Disgraceful.

For a while, Yu Fuluo didn't know what to say. If he fought, the whole army would still be wiped out.

These are his soldiers, and they are the only remaining members of his tribe. They have followed him since he went out to fight. Are they all going to die here tonight?
Seeing that the other party was silent, Zhang Liao said again: "My lord has announced to the world that any unknown soldiers and horses who trespass without permission will be killed without mercy! My lord is merciful. I only give it to you once I know you have made great contributions to the Han Dynasty." Opportunity, whether you want it or not, you choose yourself!"

Zhang Liao didn't want to talk nonsense either, and felt that the effort of speaking could already kill the opponent in sevens and eighties.If the lord hadn't specifically told him to save his life, he wouldn't have bothered to waste his time talking.

Choosing to give it to Yu Fuluo, he fell into deep thought. He was not afraid of death, but seeing the soldiers under his tent in such a mess, he hesitated.

"Chan Yu, we fought against them, anyway, we have no clansmen anymore!"

A Hun soldier beside Yu Fuluo yelled.

"Yes, there are no clansmen anymore anyway! Fight!"

"But my knife is in the camp..."

"mine too……"

Seeing the other party's dying appearance, Zhang Liao also had a headache, forcing Lai Lai to speak hard, why don't you put some water,

So Zhang Liao said: "Who said you don't have any clansmen? The Southern Huns gathered together and caused chaos, and my lord just moved them away!"

After hearing this, Yu Fuluo's head thumped, and the idea of ​​fighting to the death showed a turning point. He immediately asked, "Really? Where did you move to?"

After saying this sentence, Zhang Liao felt that he had said too much, so of course he would not reveal more.

"If you go to see my lord, you will know. Are you afraid of death? Are you afraid that my lord will torture you?"

"I am Yu Fuluo, a dignified prairie man, why should I be afraid of dying! See you soon!"

Zhang Liao was agitated slightly, and Yu Fuluo took the bait.

What kind of prairie man are you, at most a desert man, Zhang Liao thought.

Yu Fuluo looked at the blade in his hand, the blade was exquisite and smooth, shining with a cold light, and there was a ruby ​​inlaid on the handle of the blade, which was given to him by his father Qiang Qu Shanyu, hoping that he would use this blade in the future , to protect the tribe.

Yu Fuluo looked at the tribesmen around him again, whether they were brave, or resolute, or embarrassed, or fearful. One problem is that these soldiers are all men.

The protection of the tribe in the concept of the Huns is usually the protection of women and children.

According to what Zhang Liao said, the clansmen were still alive, but had just moved away, so he should go to them, even if he was tortured and humiliated.

"Brothers, if our clansmen are still alive, we cannot die. I have decided to go to see King Bohai!"

As he spoke, he put the sword into its sheath, pulled out a rope from the back of the horse, jumped off the horse, turned his back to one of them and said, "Come on, tie it up for me!"

Seeing Yu Fuluo's actions, Zhang Liao heaved a sigh of relief, and finally fulfilled his mission and completed the task assigned by the master.

At the same time, Taiyuan and Jinyang.

In the sultry and suffocating night, a pair of eyes stared blankly at the void in front of him, casually dreaming about the "battle" that just happened.

Liu Qing used to think that there was no air-conditioning in ancient times, so summer carnival would be hot to death. It was not until he had a woman, and when the time came to summer, Liu Qing realized that as long as the mind does not slip, there are more ways than difficulties.

The first half of the night is too sticky and too hot, so it can be done in the second half of the night!
Liu Qing suddenly felt a warmth sticking to him in the darkness, and then a voice whispered beside his ear: "Husband, can I talk?"

I didn't gag you, Liu Qing thought to himself.

"Madam, please tell me!" Liu Qing said politely.

Qian Ying turned around and got into Liu Qing's arms, with the fragrant wind blowing by his ears, Qian Ying said softly: "This time when I return to Xianbei, I think Qian Man has grown up a bit, and the family has changed a lot. It’s all the same without me.”

Liu Qing took a closer look at Princess Qianying's words. The implication should be that this princess is a bit dispensable in the clan now. With Liu Qing killed, it can be said that the old enemies of the Xianbei royal family have been eliminated. Although there are still many Xianbei tribes on the grassland, those tribes that do not communicate often are not considered a threat.

The threat is gone, and something changes.

This point has the meaning of killing heroes in the new dynasty.

"Did you encounter a lot of obstacles when mobilizing troops and horses?" Liu Qing asked.

The delicate body in his arms trembled, Liu Qing knew that his words hit the nail on the head, it is not hard to guess, this time let Qian Ying go back, mobilize troops and horses to help him take down Bingzhou Mu, it can be called the number one hero, Liu Qing just rewarded her.

Originally, Liu Qing thought it would be an easy task, but now it seems that it is not smooth.

Qian Ying gave a soft "hmm", some were well-behaved, some were wronged, but she was still the overbearing princess who was arrogant when they first met.

When she met Liu Qing, who was more domineering, she became a little girl.

Liu Qing thought about it, Xianbei is important, and his wife is also important, if he has to choose one of the two, then his wife is the most important.

My wife is angry, how can I brag when I go out, I fend off the enemy, wouldn't it be a joke to deter Xianbei?
After pondering for a while, Liu Qing said: "Then I will raise my army to vent my anger for Madam, and see if the bastards of the royal family will ask Madam to go back and lead troops."

"My husband is not allowed!" Qian Ying said anxiously, "I... I'm actually fine."

As soon as Liu Qing talked about dealing with Xianbei, she became anxious. Maybe this is the nature of a woman. After being wronged by her natal family, she still has her heart towards her natal family.

In fact, Liu Qing was just talking, expressing his opinion, what women want is your attitude, of course he will not really send troops to deter Xianbei, and Qianying knows that Liu Qing can do anything, so he immediately chooses to swallow his grievances.

"That won't work, I have to vent my anger on my wife! I heard that the royal family is following the example of Yanmen to build a permanent residence. After charcoal is introduced into the grassland, they will not be afraid of the severe cold. Now, it has become a must for the Xianbei people in the winter. Therefore, starting from next month , the price of coal rose by [-]%."

"Ah? This..."

This is actually to make Xianbei civilians suffer, Qian Ying thought.

Before Qianying could open his mouth, Liu Qing continued: "Besides, madam has handled family affairs before, and next year, this king will hand over all the rights to trade with Xianbei to madam!"

Qian Ying understands that my husband will not send troops, but raising the price of charcoal by [-]% will undoubtedly greatly increase the burden on the civilians of Xianbei, and they may even complain.

And next year, he will hand over the right to trade with Xianbei to himself. This is because the Xianbei royal family in charge of trade with Han will look at him differently and be in awe.

The wicked do it by themselves, and the good do it for her. The husband's actions are well-intentioned. Qian Ying doesn't know what kind of feeling she feels, her nose is slightly sour, and the king of Bohai seems to care about herself more than she imagined.

As for the price, after I accept the power of trade, of course I can adjust the price of charcoal back, but this winter, the Xianbei people are afraid that they will suffer, this is the punishment my husband said.

"Will [-]% be too heavy? Husband's reputation in the grasslands is not easy to come by. Now because of the opening of trade, the lives of Xianbei people have been significantly improved. If this matter affects my husband's reputation, Qianying will feel uneasy."

"They don't know the pain if they don't make it worse. What's more, why does this king care about the reputation of the grassland? What this king cares about is you!"

As he spoke, Liu Qing tightened his grip on the person in his arms.

At this time, Qian Ying was so moved that she was in a mess: "My husband has treated me very well, and Qian Ying has nothing to repay..."

The couple still said whether to report or not.

Liu Qing then said: "No! You have already hugged me."

……

Three poles in the sun.

Liu Qing was still lying on the couch. In fact, he woke up early, and he was not considered a late sleeper when he woke up.

Everyone was busy on their own, but it seemed that Liu Qing was fishing all day long. Du Zan had already left for Wuyuan, and Gan Lai locked himself in the room, thinking about the new inventions that Liu Qing told him, including Quyuanli's Conception, as well as iron wheels, and even the conception of bearings.

Qian Ying sat beside the couch, fanning Liu Qing one after another, without saying a word, just staying there quietly. After last night, Qian Ying felt that she was more dependent on Liu Qing.

"My lord, the Yanzhou Army has reported."

Ban Ming's voice came from outside the door. Hearing it, Qian Ying got up, opened the door to get the military newspaper, and handed it to Liu Qing.

In the past, it was Cai Yan who read it for him, and Liu Qing missed a certain woman for no reason.

After reading it, the letter said that Xu Rong and Yuan Shao continued to confront each other, and they were at a stalemate. In the country of Jibei, Fu Xie participated in the battle and had already repelled the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou. As for Cao Cao, I really didn’t want to say much. Let's get over it, is it Lou Gui who can make Cao Cao, who hates evil like an enemy, give up?

Or Chen Gong?

Although Lu Bu's appearance was a setback, the current situation in Yanzhou was exactly what Liu Qing wanted.

Fu Xie and Zhu Ling repelled the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao and Liu Bei achieved their own development. Today's Jibei Kingdom has become the front line of the two, while Jinan Kingdom and Pingyuan Kingdom have become places of supply.

It is best that this confrontation lasts until he conquers the entire Bingzhou.

Now, Chu Yan has entered Shangdang County and started to eliminate (absorb) the Black Mountain Army from all over the country, and then select and send people to various places.

Just as Liu Qing finished reading the military newspaper, Ban Ming's voice sounded at the door again.

"Master, Zhang Xiu has arrived in Jinyang!"
