Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 318
At the river ferry, facing the cold wind every season, looking at the ice floes flowing through the river, ups and downs, I lost my mind for a while.

"In Fengzhi, this place is already the boundary of Baima." Fengji's assistant reminded.

Feng Ji nodded in response, still looking at the floe.

He said that when he reached the boundary of Baima, he asked the officials to remind him, but during the process of crossing the river, Feng Ji suddenly had a new idea.

The king of Bohai is benevolent and righteous, not only willing to send troops to escort the food team, but also willing to let Yuan Shao return in advance, which can be described as the utmost benevolence.

So and so, do you still plan to harm him?

Feng Ji hesitated, and even remembered that before leaving, Liu Qing had personally sent him out of the city, and said some meaningful words that concealed the intention of soliciting him.

The original words of King Bohai are: "There will be chaos in the south of the great river. If Yuantu is tired of disputes, he can go to the north of the great river to live."

Plain and simple, ordinary and sincere.

The river mentioned in the words is the river just crossed.

The king of Bohai treats people so benevolently and righteously, is he planning to harm him, Feng Yuantu, are you still human?

The salary of eating the king and the matter of being loyal to the king, since serving Yuan with his own body, he should be wholehearted, let's do it!

But the Yuan family is not the master of the establishment. After a little comparison, it is known that he is a little better than He Jin. He has changed his family once, so why not change again?

But Nanyang is now under the control of Yuan Shu, if he betrays Yuan himself, he fears that the family members and relatives in the clan may be in danger.

"Hey, everyone is their own master..." Feng Ji sighed, and immediately looked away, looking to the south, "Send someone to notify He Yi and He Man, and prepare to do something!"

……

After simple preparations, Liu Qing embarked on the journey to Youzhou. Along the way, Liu Qing also planned to stop by to inspect Anping and Zhongshan counties.

Anping County is located in Jizhou, which is completely different from other counties, that is, the iron-blooded cleansing here has been approved, and the tyrants who rebelled violently have been completely wiped out. After all, at the beginning, they supported Wang Ji and resisted Liu Qing "with the same hatred".

It is a pity that such a good foundation, this piece of blood-soaked land, should not be used as a test field to drive out all the rentiers.

According to Liu Qing's request, all the land in Anping County will be owned by the public, and the counties will contract out the land on a household basis. The people's labor income, after paying the land tax and rent tax, will all belong to themselves, and they can keep their own food for storage. , and can also be sold to Liu Qing at the purchase price.

There are still many areas that need to be improved. For example, when dividing the land, there is Susukita Tomita, and the population of each household is different. Moreover, there is a lot of room for manipulation in the purchase price of grain.

Liu Qing did not set up Xiangtingli to participate in the management of this matter, but the county to manage it. The fewer levels, the more corruption can be prevented.

As for grain prices, after Jizhou has enough grain, Liu Qing believes that the price will gradually stabilize. Coupled with Liu Qing's reserve adjustment, grain prices should stabilize in the future.

Of course, there is also Zhongshan County, which Liu Qing "cared for" specially, and the food price has been quite unstable recently.

Since the major grain merchants and aristocratic families have almost spent all their wealth to buy grain, the Junzheng business has suddenly moved in. With a large amount of grain pouring into Zhongshan County, the rising grain price suddenly turned around and fell at a faster speed.

The corn in Fangshi even fell below [-] renminbi per stone, which was close to the market price, almost approaching the time of peace and prosperity. While the people were happy, they did not forget to sing the praises of King Bohai and his Junzheng business name.

Who drove away the Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army, and brought peace to Zhongshan County.

Who suppressed the price of grain and allowed enough grain to flow into Zhongshan County so that the common people could eat cheap grain.

However, local profiteers and powerful households only know how to hoard food and grass, keep raising food prices, and hardly do anything about personnel. Of course, these remarks are released by people with good intentions.

In fact, like the Zhen family and the Tang family, they are also suffering. When the food price rises rapidly, the food on the market may not be in short supply, but they collect it while it rises. In the end, everyone is blinded by greed and starts buying food on a large scale. .

But now, the food is still falling, and the reputation of each company has been damaged, so almost no one cares about the food.

Their food was smashed in their hands.

Proper storage of food, the big family is completely worthwhile, the problem is that they have too much stockpile, the expenditure of the big family is still very large, and now they are all facing the problem of insufficient liquidity.

A few days later, Liu Qing first arrived at Anping Xindu.

The judge received the notice early in the morning and waited outside Xindu City early in the morning. At noon, the snow had stopped, and the sky cracked a little light, which seemed to be sunny.

The snow wasn't heavy this time, but it was falling very widely. From Ye, there were snow scenes all the way. Fortunately, the official road was well built, and the road was unimpeded.

"The prefect of Anping judges and matches, and pays homage to the king of Bohai!"

"Long time no see, Zhengnan, are you still used to staying here?"

"Your Majesty, everything is fine!" The judge replied.

Zhao Yun stepped forward, smiled and cupped his hands: "Sir, don't come here without any problems!"

The judges greeted them with smiles, and they were very happy to see their former partners.

"General Zilong is safe and sound!" Then he turned to Liu Qing, "My lord, please enter the city."

Liu Qing looked at the sky, and replied: "No, I'm just passing by here, and you give me a ride."

"Here!" The examiner responded, and then brought the horses, joined Liu Qing's team, and walked directly north along the official road.

"Zhengnan, this king has come to Anping several times, but he has never entered the city. You won't blame this king, will you?"

"Your Majesty has important tasks in your body, and you still remember to be worthy. You are already grateful, how can you not know how to flatter you, and blame your Majesty."

Liu Qing smiled, pointed to the official road, and asked: "After I entered Anping, I found out why there is no snow on the official road here? But you sent someone to clean it?"

"Back to the king, I didn't send someone to clean it, but the peasants came to clean it themselves, please look at it, my lord!" The judge said, pointing to a fork in the official road.

Liu Qing looked around and saw several figures busy on the side road. What they did was to clear the snow. Not only did they pile up the snow on the road, but some people came to pick it up.

The snow was picked into the field, and from a distance, there were piles of it.

Liu Qing suddenly realized that it was time for the snow to melt and turn into water to moisten the fields.

Really hardworking!I can only blame the drought before!

"It's a good idea. However, Anping County has not systematically built water conservancy projects. This year, it will focus on dividing the fields and assigning responsibilities to households. However, the infrastructure must be solved first."

"Keep it in mind."

"After the Boling Cui family left, is there any news?"

The judge shook his head, "I only heard that they went to Jingzhou to take refuge."

Jizhou people went to Jingzhou to take refuge, which sounds outrageous. Jingzhou is at war, but Jizhou is not.

By the way, Liu Qing suddenly thought that with the Yellow Turban disturbance in Qingzhou, many local nobles would have to take refuge everywhere, and the Zhuge family in Langya would also take refuge in Jingzhou.

Liu Qing made up his mind, wondering if he could bring the scholars who had taken refuge in Jizhou to Jizhou?

Those who reach the age limit can use it directly, even if they don't reach the standard, they can also cultivate it!After all, there are also masters in Wei County, Mr. Hu Zhao, I am afraid that he is not much worse than Mr. Shui Jing.

As soon as Liu Qing thought about it, he directly explained the matter to Ban Ming, and asked him to do it immediately. He returned to Yecheng, informed Xun Yu of the matter, and ordered him to start arranging immediately. As for the manpower, Zhu Ling happened to be in Taishan County. This appointment!

If this matter is done well, maybe a large number of talents will be obtained.

Walking with the examiner for a while, passing a pavilion, Liu Qing stopped for a short time to let the soldiers and horses rest.

After listening to the interrogator's confession, the pavilion chief immediately treated Liu Qing with respect, every mouthful being a big shot.

After a simple conversation, Liu Qing learned about the current labor status of the farmers from the pavilion leader, and his enthusiasm was almost full. Although it is a cross-generational production relationship, it is simple and rude. To put it bluntly, he takes less and the farmers get more benefits up.

What you do is your own, so if you can't do it to death, do it to death!
In the evening, Liu Qing bid farewell to the trial assignment and continued to go north. On the way, he passed Xiabo and Anping Land. They were all roads that Liu Qing was familiar with. He used to pass through these places when he was in business.

After walking along these cities for a few more days, Liu Qing arrived at Lunu, only to miss out that Tian Feng was not in Lunu, so Liu Qing planned to go north directly to Youzhou.

……

In Taishan County of Yanzhou, many yellow scarves gathered outside Fenggao City again. Zhu Ling patrolled the various city walls all day long, not daring to take his guard lightly.

Zhu Ling was not worried about the Yellow Turbans attacking the city, because he had already made full preparations, and it was almost impossible for the Yellow Turbans who charged with ladders to appear on the city wall.

The only thing Zhu Ling worried about was the supply line.

Fenggao's position, compared to Yanzhou, is indeed regarded as a lonely army. So far, Zhu Ling is still relying on Fu Xie's supply line to replenish food and grass.

In the past few days, the team escorting food and grass has been attacked by the Yellow Turbans several times. If the Yellow Turbans were not too weak and were repelled by the guards, Feng Gao's food and grass would really hang by a thread.

"General, do you want to go out of the city to protect food today?"

Zhu Ling looked at the sparsely populated yellow scarf shanty towns not far away, and nodded. Soon, the 500-strong guard quietly left the city.

Zhu Ling looked into the distance again, looking at the yellow turban camp, Zhu Ling was puzzled, did these yellow turbans plan to settle here?
On the other side of Qingzhou, after the fall of Beihai, Liu Bei led more than [-] remnants of soldiers and returned to Pingyuan. Along the way, he also encountered many wandering yellow turbans. I always feel that there are millions of yellow turban soldiers in Qingzhou. Endless.

"Brother, this battle is really aggrieved! I thought I was going to win, but why are you rushing at me, I am left alone!" Zhang Fei said angrily.

"Third brother, the crime of non-war is really too disparate in military strength. Even if you and I are exhausted, we will not be able to open the gate of the county."

"Second brother and third brother, we have already returned to the plains, like a dragon returning to the sea, we only need to recruit soldiers and horses, and sooner or later we will be able to fight!"

"Brother, there are many fleeing civilians who came back with our army this time, including some scholars. Why don't you take this opportunity to entertain them, and then use the talents for your own use." Guan Yu reminded.

Liu Bei nodded, fully agreeing with Guan Yu's point of view. After staying with Cao Cao for a long time, Liu Bei felt more and more that those who achieve great things must have talents to assist them, just like Cao Cao, but what about himself?What else but two brothers?
"Yun Chang is right. There are quite a few scholars who came with me to take refuge in Pingyuan this time. When I get to Pingyuan, I will settle down one by one."

Liu Bei's battle is over, but Cao Cao's battle is in full swing.

Cao Cao raised his troops back to Jinan that day. With the bravery of Cao Renxiahoudun and Yu Jin cutting off Liyang, he almost made dumplings for tens of thousands of yellow scarves in Jinan.

Then the three armies gathered together and drove all the Yellow Turbans to Dongping Mausoleum. In the First World War, they defeated the unowned Yellow Turbans in Jinan and had to drop [-] soldiers.

"Zhongde's strategy of trapping the net made our army win a big victory. It is really indispensable!" Cao Cao praised in front of the three armies.

"My lord, it's absurd, what a trivial skill, what's the point!" Cheng Yu said modestly.

"Then, are you going to save Bei Hai?" Cao Cao asked again.

Cheng Yu seemed to have thought of the answer a long time ago, and said without hesitation: "My lord, Kong Rong in Beihai is dead, and Beihai has sunk, so he saved a lot. I'm afraid that the Yellow Turbans in the Pingyuan Kingdom are very difficult to deal with. My lord, I heard that Tao Qian fought against the Yellow Turbans in Anqiu. My lord might as well lead the troops to Zhuxu and take a peek at Anqiu. If Tao Qian wins, our army will take the opportunity to take Beihai. If Tao Qian loses..."

Cheng Yu suddenly stopped.

Cao Cao frowned, and suddenly looked at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu didn't continue to speak, the second half of the sentence was out of the question.

A trace of impatience flashed across Cao Cao's face. The feeling he hated the most was hesitation.

"Take the opportunity to take Langya?" Cao Cao guessed.

"It's a beautiful name, to help Tao Qian." Cheng Yu even found an excuse.

Look at you, Tao Gongzu, you can't even fight the yellow scarf, I will fight for you, and you will lend me Langya as a soldier.

"Hehehe!" Cao Cao chuckled for a while, "So, isn't it called treating a person in the same way as a person?"

In the past, Tao Qian took the opportunity to quell the chaos, occupied counties and counties, and took up most of Taishan County. Returning to Xuzhou, like this, is equivalent to giving Cao Cao a big flaw.

"Zhongde's plan is very good! Xiahou Dun, I ordered you to be the vanguard, lead five thousand troops, and march into Zhu Xu. Cao Ren's army will follow. Remember, when you reach Zhu Xu, you only need to defend and wait and see what happens!"

"Here!" Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren said in unison.

Cao Cao turned to ask again, "Zhongde, Qingxu Yanyu has turned upside down, why don't you see all the actions of King Bohai, and Zhu Ling is still stationed in Fenggao, it seems that he has no intention of making progress."

Cheng Yu shook his head, and said: "It's not that General Zhu doesn't want to make progress, but that General Zhu's supply line has reached its limit. If it enters the chaos of Qingzhou and the supply is interrupted, it will be in danger! The king of Bohai ruled the army benevolently, with strict military discipline, and we have seen it all the way. He did not commit any crimes against Minqiu, and even distributed food to hungry people many times. This is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, not a teacher of pioneering."

Cao Cao listened, quite reasonable.

However, the whole Qingxu Yanyu was in a mess, and it seemed that it was not his style for King Bohai not to intervene.

Are you holding back some big move?Cao Cao thought.

"My lord, the spies are here to report that the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou have the intention of advancing westward. Many of them have crossed Taishan County and entered the area of ​​Shanyang County in Dongping Country." Yu Jin came suddenly to report the military situation.

"Go west? What is the Yellow Turban's intention?" Cao Cao asked in confusion.
