Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 326 Ask the general to present his head

As soon as Liu Qing said a word, his domineering air leaked out, and the four staff all looked up at him, feeling a sense of reverence spontaneously.

Thinking of the common people in the world is the real demeanor of an emperor.

Xun Yu still had a worried look on his face. As long as the danger of Yingchuan is not cleared, his sorrow will never be dispelled.

Guo Jia held Xun Yu's sleeves, sat down again, and persuaded him: "Wen Ruo, relax, forgive that Hu Zhen for not daring to do anything wrong, the disaster of Yang people is due to his emotions, and when he turns around, he will do it for himself I regret it."

"Feng Xiao, what do you mean by that?" Liu Qing asked.

"My lord, do you remember Dong Zhuo's name?"

"Of course, Dong Zhuo's name is Zhongying."

"Dong Zhuo and his younger brother Dong Min were born when his father was an official in Yingchuan, so they were named Zhongying and Shuying respectively. Dong Zhuo was born in Yingchuan. It is not an exaggeration to say that Yingchuan is Dong Zhuo's second hometown. How can Dong Zhuo sit back and watch Hu Zhen act recklessly?" Guo Jia explained.

Hearing Guo Jia's explanation, Xun Yu's gloomy expression brightened a little, and he forgot about this, Xun Yu thought that he was also concerned about it, and maybe things were not as bad as he thought.

Taking ten thousand steps back, my uncle is serving as Sikong in the imperial court and ranks among the three princes. Even if Hu Zhen is insane and surrounds Yangzhai, he should not touch the Xun family. Of course, the clan uncle can also lead his clan back to Yingyin County, the hometown of the family. .

"Wen Ruo, Feng Xiao's words are very reasonable. This matter may not be irreversible. In the next few days, you should rest well and wait for good news." Liu Qing planned to give Xun Yu a vacation to relax.

In the rest of the time, they discussed the Nanyang war again.

Sun Jian went north and fought with Ma Teng outside Danshui City. Ma Teng was defeated and fled, and the attack was declared to have collapsed. However, Li Jue's advance on the east road was still smooth. If he wanted to take the next step, Sun Jian would go east and attack Li Jue's troops. .

To the south, Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling and Huang Zu to confront each other in Deng County, Liu Biao sent Cai Mao's water army to attack Xinye, and Yuan Shu sent Zhang Xun to garrison.

Liu Qing has a general understanding of the battle situation in Nanyang. Generally speaking, there is a tendency of pecking at each other. This also makes Liu Qing realize a problem. In the future, it is impossible to fight hundreds of thousands against tens of thousands. At that time, the princes of all parties were ambitious and attached great importance to military strength, and second- and third-rate generals and advisers began to emerge in batches.

One day, Liu Qing still has the confidence to win against them, but the price will not be as easy as dealing with the Yellow Turbans before.

It's time to upgrade to new equipment.

"Uncle Ju, how is the production of the new ballista going?"

"At present, there are more than 1000 crossbows installed. It will take time to build a strong crossbow army, unless the workshop stops the production of other utensils and makes every effort to build crossbows." Ju Shou replied that Shiyi's production projects are still Jushou is personally responsible.

"Don't stop. The battle armor must be built to be 50 pieces. Spring plowing is imminent, and the plowshares cannot be pulled down. We strive to replace all spring plowing with Quyuan plows this year. When Wenyuan brings back the prisoners, we will divide another 1000 people to build a plow. Don’t be afraid to invest in large-scale workshops for civilian use, money and materials should be spent and used to make sense!”

"Here!" Ju Shou replied.

"Bohai Shipyard, how is the progress?"

"It is in full swing, but it is more difficult to recruit shipbuilders and boatmen."

This is natural, this is the north, not to mention the small runoff, it will be frozen in winter, and the big boats are hardly used, but Liu Qing will use it sooner or later, so it is better to prepare early.

"Don't have geographical limitations. You can let Junzheng Company recruit in Jingxiang, Jiangxia, Lujiang and other places, and spend a lot of money to recruit people. This year I want to see the first batch of warships launched."

It is entirely possible to integrate the power of the three states.

Liu Qing insisted on this, and Ju Shou had no choice but to agree, the Lord has always been like this, some things can be vague, but some things must be done.

After the four of them left, the study suddenly fell silent. Looking at the mountains of letters on the table, they reported and sighed.

Even if all the work is allocated, it is still impossible to let go of the shopkeeper. This is already the case in taking charge of the three states. If it continues to expand in the future, I don't know how many things will happen.

As long as Liu Qing still wants to use his advanced vision and historical structure to accelerate his development, he may not be less worried.

After thinking about it, I'd better be a mediocre master for a while, and go to Diao Chan to sing and dance...

……

Luoyang, the General's Mansion.

Dong Zhuo slapped the general newspaper in front of the case, with such force that everything on the table was shaken to the point of collapse.

"Hu Zhen is incompetent and disadvantaged in battle, yet he dared to massacre the city! Could he be like Liangzhou among them! He has never tasted verbal criticism from scholars!"

"Nonsense! Nonsense! Nonsense!" Dong Zhuo slapped the table angrily.

Jia Xu kept silent, and Dong Zhuo didn't intend to speak unless he took the initiative to ask questions.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was angry, Li Ru on the side wanted to persuade him.

"My lord, if you slaughter a city, you can control a county. If you lose, you will gain." Seeing that Dong Zhuo's face remained unchanged, he said again: "However, if we continue to slaughter, it will be counterproductive. The most urgent thing is to inform General Hu quickly, and don't repeat it. A futile thing."

"The gentry in the Central Plains value benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety first, and they have been said to be heinous people who killed a few ordinary people. Hu Zhen's actions will not give the gentry an excuse to call us a man-eating monster. What good will it do! Come, take my words to Hu Zhenna quickly, what we want is not only a city, but also people, he killed everyone, what is the use of that city!"

Another reason why Dong Zhuo was furious was his bond with Yingchuan. He had always held Yingchuan scholars in high regard, and the leader, Xun Shuang, even directly recommended him as Sangong.

Fortunately, Hu Zhen, the goodwill he created was all destroyed by him at once!

"Nonsense! It's just nonsense! If the Yingchuan scholars say that we ordered the massacre of the city, then we will not be able to cleanse ourselves by jumping into the river." Dong Zhuo cursed unrelentingly to vent his anger.

At this time, Jia Xu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Don't be impatient, Mr. Dong. The front line of Yingchuan is not the most important. It is better to order Hu Zhen to enter Nanyang from Yingchuan and capture Luyang County. Yuan Shu will fight on the third front. The strength of the army is worrying. Crash and crumble!"

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Just follow Wenhe's words!"

Seeing the story of Hu Zhen turning over, the master book Tian Jing stepped forward and said, "My lord, spring plowing is imminent, and the land east of the river should be taken back first?"

Hedong is a large granary, but now the north of Fenshui has been occupied by the Baibo army. Dong Zhuo has always ordered his son-in-law Niu Fu to attack, but unfortunately Niu Fu has never been able to gain a foothold in the north of Fenshui. After the Battle of Hanoi, Dong Zhuojun and Baibo The army cooperated inexplicably again, and the promoter of it was Liu Qing, the king of Bohai. From then on, Dong Zhuo had no idea of ​​going north of Fenshui.

Right now, spring plowing is just around the corner. His Majesty has already presided over the plowing ceremony, and said that there will be auspicious snow this year, so it is necessary to plow well and hope for a good harvest.

"The Baibo Army once helped us defeat Yuan Shao, and they are still stationed at Jiguan. Moreover, Zhang Ning has a very close relationship with the King of Bohai, so we should not take it rashly. Let us ask the King of Bohai for his opinion on this matter!"

Jia Xu naturally felt that it was appropriate to act like this, but Li Ru didn't know that Dong Zhuo and the King of Bohai cooperated closely, and felt that Baibo's army was nothing more than a gangster, and Niu Fu's aggressive failure was due to lack of strategy.

"My lord, as we all know, the Baibo Army in Hedong and the Black Mountain Army in Hanoi are both serious troubles, why not put them down as soon as possible?" Li Ru suggested.

Jia Xu frowned, and glanced at Li Ru.

Heart said: You cow!
"There is no need to talk about this matter again! We have our own plans!" Dong Zhuo blocked the topic with one word.

Li Ru was stunned, and couldn't help but wonder, Dong Zhuo dared to fight the Yuan family, and confronted him head-on, why did he shy away from the Baibo army and the Black Mountain army?What does this have to do with King Bohai?
But Dong Zhuo's attitude was like this, and Li Ru also had good eyesight, so he didn't answer any more.

Dong Zhuo said indifferently: "Wen You has such thoughts, why don't you think about how to defeat Yuan Shu, the battle in the direction of Wuguan is not going well, Ma Teng and Han Sui have already been repelled by Sun Jian, in our opinion, it must be Han Sui's good man, How can Huang Zhongyi be brave enough to act perfunctorily, and how can Sun Jian be invincible!"

Jia Xu took over the words and said: "Mr. Dong, if you want Ma Teng and Han Sui to work hard, it's not impossible. You just need to transfer him eastward, leave the tiger prison and cross the Sishui River, and attack Yuzhou. Ma Teng and Han Sui have no way out. No matter how perfunctory, if he makes meritorious service, Dong Gong can claim credit for him; if he fails, he can take the opportunity to gather Qiang Liang cavalry and strengthen himself."

Dong Zhuo slapped his thigh and praised repeatedly: "Good! Just follow Wenhe's words! Tiao Ma Teng and Han Sui's army retreated to Wuguan and transferred to Dongjun to fight!"

At this time, there was a long cry from outside the door, "Report—"

"The King of Bohai has an urgent message!"

Hearing these words, Dong Zhuo's eyes could not help but tremble, and he looked outside the door.

When the letter was submitted, Dong Zhuo jumped up. The letter was very concise. It was about Hu Zhen's massacre of the city. Between the lines, there was dissatisfaction and the request was very clear——

Deal with it according to the law!

Dong Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, and he, who was sitting upright, suddenly collapsed and let out a breath.

The King of Bohai actually found out about this so quickly. You know, Dong Zhuo just received the letter today. Luoyang should be much closer to Yingchuan than Ye County is to Yingchuan.

How did Dong Zhuo know that the reason why Liu Qing got the news so quickly was precisely because he systematically repaired all the post stations under his rule, including Chen Liu's, to deliver important information, traveling day and night, changing horses without changing people, and the time it took was almost shorter than that of Luoyang Little half.

Even the transmission of King Bohai from Weijun to Luoyang was only half a day later than Hu Zhen's battle report.

"Dong Gong, what's the matter?" Jia Xu rarely asked proactively, mainly because he hadn't seen Dong Zhuo like this since he followed Dong Zhuo.

"The king of Bohai said that the matter of Hu Zhen should be dealt with according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, otherwise it will be difficult to calm down the world." Dong Zhuo said, and at the same time he also understood that the murderer of the Han law died, and Hu Zhen, as a general, did have life and death. Great power, but there is no room for justification for massacring the city. If it is true, you must die!

Hu Zhen is one of his most important generals. All along, Dong Zhuo's opinions on the King of Bohai have always been intuitively affirmed, that is, without thinking, he can believe that the King of Bohai is right, but this time, he wavered.

Jia Xu's complexion also became serious. After following Dong Zhuo for a long time, he is second only to Dong Zhuo in understanding the fetters of cooperation between the two. This kind of cooperation is very delicate. Dong Zhuo highly respects the King of Bohai, the Bingzhou Mu of the King of Bohai, the champion general, It was all performed by Dong Zhuo, and what did Dong Zhuo get from King Bohai?

What Jia Xu knew was that some small suggestions were the kindness of life that Dong Zhuo often talked about. According to him, what should be repaid has already been repaid. The reason why Dong Zhuo continued to praise and befriend the King of Bohai was because of his strength. .

Just like Dong Zhuo also admired Liu Yu very much, because he once served as Zongzheng and was the head of the clan.

What Jia Xu didn't know was that before Dong Zhuo recruited him, it wasn't just Xia Yang's extraordinary soldiers who made great achievements in blocking the Xianbei army, and then according to Liu Qing's deployment, defeated the Xiliang rebels of the kingdom Han Sui in one fell swoop. The first victory in the battle of the three assistants, the official worship and the state herdsman, soared into the sky.

In Bingzhou, facing the invasion of the Xianbei enemy, Liu Qing single-handedly took down all the northern frontier defenses for him, Bingzhou Mucheng, and let him free up his hands to enter Sili again. Only then did he make further progress. Jingqin Wang's chance.

The King of Bohai helped Dong Zhuo not once or several times, but brought him to the position in front of him step by step...

At least Dong Zhuo thinks so.

The entanglement is that, on the one hand, Dong Zhuo knows that everything he has is given by the King of Bohai.

On the other hand, Dong Zhuo also knew very well that he owed his success to all the generals in the army, and Hu Zhen was one of them.

Therefore, although there are not many officers and soldiers in the army who are in politics, Dong Zhuo has never had a lot of rewards and indulgences, and he has never been stingy with gold, silver, money and silk. only eye.

Hu Zhen slaughtered a city during the battle, Dong Zhuo may not like it, but he never had the idea of ​​pursuing Hu Zhen, many people died in this world, the difference is [-].

Facing the solemn negotiation of King Bohai, he wavered.

The empty hall of the Great General was suddenly quiet for a long time, Jia Xu was thinking again and again, and persuaded: "Dong Gong, for the king of Bohai, has given a lot, and Hu Zhen was at fault first, if he suffers from the king of Bohai for this matter, Very unwise."

Dong Zhuo glanced at Jia Xu, and according to his opinion, Hu Zhen couldn't stay.

Li Ru didn't understand, so he glanced at Dong Zhuo with a bewildered expression?
What is my lord doing?My lord is considering Jia Xu's proposal?The lord is considering killing Hu Zhen?

The King of Bohai is obviously an outsider. In the war between Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family, Dong Zhuo's army slaughtered the city in the Yuan family's territory. What is the matter with the King of Bohai?

Isn't he an ally with the lord?How can you ask the lord to kill the confidant general?
And Jia Xu didn't object, he just proposed to let Hu Zhen go to Yingchuan falsely and attack Nanyang, why a letter, both of them changed their faces.

Li Ru had an inexplicable illusion: My lord obeys King Bohai in everything?
After Jia Xu finished speaking, she looked at Dong Zhuo, no one spoke anymore, Jing Jing shut up, Li Ru was confused, Dong Zhuo struggled.

"Alas!" Jia Xu sighed suddenly, and said to himself: Mr. Dong values ​​righteousness, so his subordinates are loyal, so he said, "Mr. Dong, please go to Yingchuan to settle this matter."

For Jia Xu who suddenly stood up, Dong Zhuo was startled, and then asked: "How to deal with Wen Heyu?"

Jia Xu said solemnly, "General Hu, please offer your head."
