Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 325 Operation "Spring Thunder", the Enemy of King Bohai for Life

When Liu Qing returned to Wei County, it was already the beginning of February. If the main activity in the first month was worship and sacrifice, then February would be the time when the busy farming began.

Because of a snowfall, the land can be plowed to prepare for spring planting. The auspicious snow heralds a good year, not only a good thing for the winter wheat that has not been harvested, but also a good thing for the fallow land that has not been sown. This year, God has opened good head.

In the study room, Liu Qing and Cai Yan were cleaning up the piles of letterheads, most of which were battle reports.

"Zhu Ling defeated and beheaded Huang Shao, commander of the Yellow Turban Qu, outside Fenggao City, and captured 8000 Yellow Turbans."

"Zhang Liao and Xu Huang beheaded He Man and He Yi, the two commanders in Changping, and captured 1 Yellow Turbans. At present, the grain team has passed Chenliu and is heading towards Weijun. fail."

"Lü Bu stationed troops in Xiancheng, confronted Lihu's Ding Yuan, and covered the delivery of the food convoy."

"In Qingzhou, the battle is mainly centered around the Beihai Kingdom. At present, Cao Cao has occupied the territory west of Wenshui, and Tao Qian has occupied the east of Wenshui. As for Liu Bei, after resting on the plain, he will march into Le'an again and march towards the North Sea."

Seeing that all parties are doing well, Liu Qing couldn't help pinching his brows. Qingyan and Yanzhou are still in chaos. If the Yellow Turbans cannot be cleared before April, then this year's spring plowing will be greatly affected. When those warlords can't receive food, they will still hustle the people.

It's just that Liu Qing can't be a virgin yet, and the top priority is to plant his one-acre three-point land well.

"Husband, these are the military newspapers of the Nanyang War, do you want to read them one by one?" Cai Yan said holding a bundle of silk books.

"You don't need to look closely, I already know the outcome of the Nanyang battle."

Liu Qing replied, picked up another silk book and read it.

This was written by Zhu Ling. A name in the letter caught Liu Qing's attention——

Zhuge Gui, Zhuge clan of Langya, Zhuge Liang's father.

Looking at the whole country, the Zhuge family may not be a famous family, but in Xuzhou, or in Langya country, the Zhuge family is definitely one of the best. Just listen to Prime Minister Zhuge's phrase "the minister is the commoner".

Because of Zhang Ju's rebellion and the turmoil in the court, Taishan County has never had a new prefect, so all the county affairs are handled by Zhuge Gui, the county magistrate. Zhuge Gui majored in Confucianism, and his county management is quite clear, but his army management is too poor, and he is not good at recruiting. Brave and brave, even the Yellow Turban Army can't defend the city just relying on the part of the city defense distributed by the superiors.

The people of Taishan County are tough, Tao Qian's subordinate Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other generals are all Taishan people, and they are from Taishan bandits. If Zhuge Gui can employ people, maybe the Yellow Turban will not be so reckless in Taishan County.

"Zhaoji, write a book for Dong Zhuo!" Liu Qing said suddenly.

Cai Yan immediately put down the silk book in his hand, went back to the Taoist table, and sat down gently beside Liu Qing. Rou Yi took the pen, gently twisted it on the ink stone, and then hung it on the blank silk book.

"Husband, please tell me." Cai Yan said lightly.

"The position of Taishan county guard has been idle for a long time, and no one is in charge of the overall situation. As a result, the yellow scarves in Taishan county are rampant, thieves are rampant, and the people are displaced. He thwarted the Yellow Turban's attempt to advance westward, beheaded Qu Shuai Huang Shao, killed and captured countless Yellow Turbans, and made great contributions to the reconstruction of Mount Tai. The important minister of the country is no longer young, so this king intends to recommend Zhu Wenbo as the prefect of Mount Tai County."

With Zhu Ling in charge of the overall situation, coupled with Zhuge Gui's assistance in political affairs, it should make Taishan County more stable, which is the primary benefit.

Zhu Ling's control of Taishan County is equivalent to having Liu Qing's second enclave in Yanzhou, which is the second benefit.

Through the cooperation and working with Zhuge Gui, we became acquainted with each other. In the future, there will be chaos in Xuzhou, and Zhuge's family will move to Wei County, which will not be repaid. This is the third benefit.

Kill three birds with one stone, win and you're done!
"Husband, it's done!"

Liu Qing leaned forward, glanced at the silk book, the handwriting was beautiful and pleasing to the eye, so he didn't look at it carefully, he wrapped his arms around Cai Yan's slender waist, and said with a smile: "Thank you Zhaoji!"

Sensing that Liu Qing's hands were starting to act unruly, Cai Yan blushed.

"Why is my husband so polite today?" Cai Yan said lightly.

Afterwards, Liu Qing took out a brocade box out of nowhere, put it in front of the case, leaned close to Cai Yan's ear and said, "This is Li Yannian's music score that I got when I made a detour to the Lu Nu Li family when I came back."

Liu Qing looked at Cai Yan's pretty face, eyes, nose, and lip fat. The more he looked at it, the more intoxicating he became, and he wanted to take a bite.

Hearing Li Yannian's name, Cai Yan's eyes lit up immediately, looking very bright.

"It's actually the work of master Li. This is the treasure of the Li family. How did my husband get it?" Cai Yan said curiously. To her, the declining Li family is still more famous than the powerful Zhen family.

"Li's family is in decline. Even if there is some wealth, it is still fish on other people's chopping boards. The owner of the Li family is also shrewd. He knows that mere wealth is difficult to sustain. Therefore, he is on the king's lap. He gave these things. It is also the determination to transform. "

Abandon the glory of the past, give up the tradition of advocating art, and embrace the times tightly.

I can't guarantee anything else, but Liu Qing can guarantee that as long as Mrs. Li hugs her thigh tightly and shows her loyalty, it is not impossible to become a second-rate force in the future.

"In troubled times, if you don't transform, you will be weak." Cai Yan sighed with emotion, and couldn't help but think of her own Cai family.

Cai's calligraphy, scholarship, and rhythm are all well-known in the world, but they are no match for a knife of the Yellow Turban. If it weren't for Liu Qing in the past, Cai Yan dare not imagine what kind of situation he would be in.

If the Cai family hadn't been protected by Liu Qing, they might have fallen into the bottom of the chaotic world.

Thinking about it, Cai Yan felt a burst of warmth in his heart, gently holding the music score in both hands, and limp into Liu Qing's arms...

"Husband, do I have a gift too?" Cai Yan asked timidly.

"Oh? Is it you?" Liu Qing's hands have gradually let go of himself.

Cai Yan smiled sweetly, it was clearly not this, but she was not in a hurry to deny it, letting Liu Qing do his best, her pretty face turned red up to her ears.

The movements in Liu Qing's hands stopped abruptly, something was wrong!

"What is it?"

Cai Yan still nestled in her arms, raised her head, and said solemnly: "In the first month, I will pay a visit to Mr. Hu, and I will talk to him about the academy. Mr. Hu has agreed to come out of the mountain!"

Wow!Before I even looked twice, Cai Yan invited Hu Zhao out of the mountain by himself?
I have to say, awesome!
"Zhaoji is really the good helper of this king! It seems that this king really should reward my wife well!"

Cai Yan didn't speak, but had a smug expression on his face.

Liu Qing hugged Cai Yan, got up straight, and planned to change the scene.

In this place, small movements can still be done, but big movements are still a bit difficult to use...

……

The next day, when the sun was high, Liu Qing opened his arms sleepily, the beauty in his arms had long since disappeared, and there was a faint fragrance in the bed.

"Husband, it's time to get up. Uncle Ju, the military adviser, and the envoy are already waiting in the study."

"They can deal with anything. I am tired from the journey and worked hard last night. I should rest more!"

After Liu Qing finished speaking, he closed his eyes, covered his head, and continued to immerse himself in the faint fragrance.

Still not giving up, Cai Yan walked to the couch, shook the quilt with his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, you have been away from Wei County for nearly a month, and all the ministers must report something."

Liu Qing stretched out his head again and looked at Cai Yan. Cai Yan didn't put on any powder on this matter, and looked extraordinarily fresh and refined.

"Zhaoji, why are you getting up so early? Come on, come on, and sleep with me again!"

As Liu Qing said, he was about to pull Cai Yan, but she avoided him.

Dull!

Liu Qing suddenly lost interest, so he had to lift off the quilt to get up, and Cai Yan came up again to help change clothes.

Hurry up!This king has fought battles all his life, so he can't enjoy himself!
Spoil Diao Chan tonight, Diao Chan won't bother me about getting up!

When Liu Qing came to the study, he saw Dian Wei waiting at the door, while Ju Shou Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and four opera talents had already entered the room and waited.

"The king is here!"

Liu Qing entered the house, went to the one behind the case, and looked at the four people.

Under normal circumstances, county affairs are not discussed on the table. What the four of them want to discuss is usually war or special affairs.

"My lord, when you are away, the spring plowing ceremony has already been held. After the festival, you can start to arrange spring plowing affairs. Currently, the counties in Jizhou are dredging waterways to prevent spring drought.

Liu Qing took over the conversation and immediately entered the role, "Youzhou is now handed over to the public platform. It is short of money, food, and labor. If you are more considerate, Wen Ruo, give the public platform some support."

"Here!" Xun Yu clapped his hands and said lightly, seemingly listless.

"The implementation of Youzhou this time is smoother than originally thought. It not only resolved the conflict between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, but also included Youzhou in one fell swoop. The primary mission of Youzhou is to expand outward, and to bring Goguryeo, Puyu, etc. The land is all in the pocket."

Liu Qing spoke seriously, and Ju Shou asked curiously, "My lord seems to think that besides the land of Liao, there is still vast arable land?"

Not only is it vast, if it can be developed, it may become the first grain production base in the future.

Liu Qing nodded, "I have asked many people, there are several large water systems outside the Liao land, and the lower reaches are covered with plains and swamps. As long as the water channels are well planned, all the land will be cultivated. This matter is the first in the first season." The important thing is to be filial piety!"

Liu Qing began to divide the work, and first called Guo Jia.

"You should pay more attention to the war in Youzhou, how to fight it. I believe in Chen Gong and Gongsun Zan, but the strategy of the Great Self requires you to look at it. Wen Ruo, for example, water conservancy or pioneering, requires a large number of people. Fortunately, Zhu Ling and Gongsun Zan Zhang Liao has captured another 2 people for this king, just to use them as labor force, talents, and the captives are accepted and transported by you, and finally, Jugong, all the related expenses of Youzhou will be fully supported by the finances!"

The four staff members bowed their hands together and said "here" together!
"This is the first event in the past three months, code-named 'Spring Thunder'!" Liu Qing announced.

Jushou and others found this novel title very interesting.

Liu Qing looked at Xun Yu again, and felt that Xun Yu was very preoccupied today.

"Wen Ruo, do you have something to say?" Liu Qing said.

After Xun Yu suddenly raised his head, he looked at Liu Qing with a look of worry in his eyes.

"What's the matter, it's okay to be blunt!"

Before Xun Yu could speak, Xi Zhicai said first, "Master, Wen Ruo is worried about the battle in Yingchuan."

"Is there a war in Yingchuan?" Liu Qing had never heard of it.

Xi Zhicai continued: "The news just arrived yesterday that Dong Zhuo sent General Hu Zhen out of Xuanyuan Pass to invade Yingchuan. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao had already taken precautions. A general named Gao Lan succeeded in ambushing Hu Zhen in the outer mountains of Yangren County. As a result, Hu Zhen's troops suffered heavy losses, but Hu Zhen's army was still strong, Gao Lan withdrew, and Hu Zhen vented all his grievances on the people of Yangren County."

Hearing venting, Liu Qing felt a bad premonition.

"How to vent?"

Xi Zhicai lamented, "The people of Yang were slaughtered."

Liu Qing's face suddenly sank...

Thousands of people died!

It is unavoidable that people will die in wars, and sometimes the casualties can even reach hundreds of thousands. For example, when Huangfusong broke Guangzong, most of the 20 people in the city were beaten into the Yellow Turban accomplices. People's heads are rolling, the sky is dark,

Killing the enemy and killing prisoners is all within the framework of the battle, but massacring the city and killing civilians is already another nature. This is not only anti-Liu Han, but also anti-community, and even more anti-humanity!
No wonder Xun Yu was terrified. Yangren County went down the Yingshui River, and the county governor Yangdi was the first to bear the brunt. Not only Xun Yu's clan uncle and father recuperated in Yangdi, but also many other members of the Xun family lived in Yangdi. If there is no rush to stop this city, if Hu Zhen invades Yangdi and slaughters it... Xun Yu can't imagine it.

What is most worrying is that Yangren is only a few days away from Yangdi, and when he received the news that Yangren was slaughtered, several days had passed.

There is a possibility that Yang Zhai's bad news may already be on the way.

What is even more desperate is that even if the lord was informed of this matter and the lord went out to negotiate with Dong Zhuo, even if Dong Zhuo was trying to save face, it would be unbelievable how long it would have been since Dong Zhuo gave the order to Hu Zhen again.

And all of this depends on Hu Zhen, who is already red-eyed. If he insists on marching into Yangdi and slaughtering Yangdi, then even the king of heaven and I will be unable to stop him.

Liu Qing couldn't help but fell into deep thought, what should I do?

Suddenly, Liu Qing had a flash of inspiration. In any case, no matter whether it is to find Dong Zhuo or go directly to Yingchuan to find Hu Zhen, he must go there, and the closest to Yingchuan should be Zhao Yun who went to Chenliu to meet Zhang Liao !
Although Gao Shun was there, Gao Shun was an infantry soldier, while Zhao Yun was a cavalry soldier.

Liu Qing glanced at Guo Jia, and before he could speak, Guo Jia said, "My lord, please order Zhao Yun to hurry to Yingchuan to prevent Hu Zhen from committing any more evil deeds!"

Like-minded!
"Ban Ming!" Liu Qing shouted, calling out to the guards.

"exist!"

"Order Li Shui to set off immediately, change horses along the way, and bring my king's order to Zhao Yun, and order him to rush to the aid of Yingchuan at full speed!"

Ban Ming took the order to leave, and Xun Yu immediately knelt down on the ground and greeted him with great courtesy: "Thank you, my lord!"

Liu Qing winked at the two people beside Xun Yu, and Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai helped him up together.

"Uncle Ju, send a letter to Dong Zhuo in the name of my king. Hu Zhen, as a general of the Han Dynasty, killed the people recklessly. He violated the principles of heaven and order. He is extremely tragic and should be dealt with according to the laws of the Han Dynasty."

Ju Shou also accepted the order. This letter should have been written by Xun Yu. Liu Qing was afraid that his words would reveal too much emotion, so he replaced it with Ju Shou. However, he still had some doubts. Dispose of the chief general?"

Liu Qing breathed out a turbid breath, and said lightly: "This king is not asking for his opinion, but ordering. If Dong Zhuo doesn't defend the Han law, how can he lead the court?"

Liu Qing sat still feeling bored, so he stood up, and continued, "Since Zilong has gone to Yingchuan, if Dong Zhuo doesn't deal with Hu Zhen, I will deal with it myself!"

This matter, no matter who it is, Liu Qing will never tolerate it. If the Southern Huns slaughtered the rebels and the Xianbei Kuitou tribe in Zhenlin in Shangjun, then Liu Qing would first destroy the Southern Huns and then the Kuitou tribe.

no matter who!In this matter, Liu Qing thought about Cao Mengde of later generations.

So he said loudly: "Pass down this king's decree and tell the world that no matter who kills innocent people for any reason, he is the enemy of King Bohai for life!"
