Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 36

It wasn't Cao Cao who set the fire, so Liu Qing was the only one present who might have been there.

Before Liu Qing could open his mouth, suddenly a servant from outside the door ran in to pass the message: "Master, there is a soldier outside the door, surnamed Zhang and named He, who claims to be Mr. Liu Qing."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing said, "It's my Junyi who is here!" Immediately got up to meet him.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, since it was his soldier, why did they go to greet him in person?

Cao Cao looked at Liu Qing's back, thought of the people behind Liu Qing's seat, and thought: "It's no wonder why there are so many followers of a corporal who is so respectful and virtuous!"
"Wen Ruo, if my expectations are correct, the lord should be meeting the person who set fire to the Changshe." Guo Jia said.

Xun Yu smiled and said nothing. When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately poked his head over, "What do you mean by what you two said, is the person who set the Changsha on fire really the son?"

Xun Yu glanced at Cao Cao, saw his slender eyes, long beard, and bright eyes, and thought that this person must be someone from one party, "Following Xiao's words, the right is to speculate, not to count."

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked at Guo Jia again, seeing that he was drinking alone, looking like he was enjoying himself, thinking that this person is really interesting, and he himself sometimes does the same.

Liu Qing brought Zhang He and Logan into the house, and smiled to everyone, "The ones who made the most contributions in the battle with Bocai were Jun Yi and Gan Lai. The enemies we killed were only deserters, and Bocai was defeated. Still owe it to the fire."

Liu Qing's words stunned several hosts and guests. Cao Mengde denied that he set the fire, and Liu Qing said that this was the one who set the fire. Does that mean Liu Qing set it himself!
He beheaded Bo Cai, and he set the Changshe fire on fire. It can be said that he alone did the work of defeating Bo Cai.Liu Qing was right in saying that they were fighting deserters and defeated generals.

"Young master uses soldiers like gods. Song admires him. Breaking the siege of the Changsha is a life-saving grace for me and Gongwei. This old man will definitely show the court truthfully and do meritorious deeds for you. Come, please drink this cup to the brim!" Huangfu Song said. The cup rose, and Zhu Jun followed silently.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then raised his wine and said, "Although Cao is a few years older, when it comes to using troops, Cao Cao is far inferior to him. Your son is really a role model for my generation!"

"Sit down, generals, just drink it!" Liu Qing sat back with a smile and drank the wine in the cup.

It's a pity that it's too light and not enjoyable at all. If you have spare time, you have to figure out how to make wine by yourself.

"The son is young and promising, and he has a strong general in his hands. I don't know how many troops are there now?"

"There are only six hundred cavalry." Liu Qing said truthfully.

what!Six hundred!Everyone was still surprised, even if that wave was a deserter, there were [-] to [-] cavalry, how did the [-] cavalry wipe out the Yellow Turbans.

Especially Cao Cao, he had [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, all of which were scattered by Bo Cai's deserters. Hearing that Liu Qing wiped out Bo Cai with [-], he couldn't help but tremble.

"The generals have never seen the bravery of Mr. Liu Qing. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it." Xun Jian said with a smile, his face was full of brilliance, today is really full of guests!

"Grand Xun must explain carefully how brave you are!" Cao Cao hurriedly urged.

"This morning, when the old man got up early, he heard the golden bell ringing at the top of the east city, so he went to check, but he saw that Mr. Liu Qing had already stood at the top of the city, and at the end of the line of sight outside the city, Bocai's army slowly approached. Everyone came, so did Yang Taishou, Admiralty reminded us, and also reminded the secret agents of the Yellow Turbans lurking in the city, they gathered nearly 500 people, and rioted!"

"There are so many detailed operations in the city!" Cao Cao was surprised and looked at Yang Biao in disbelief.

Xun Jian continued: "The defenders of the city are limited, and the Yellow Turbans attacked the city gate carefully, intending to meet Bocai. In a dilemma, Mr. Liu Qing led 16 soldiers, lined up in a row, and blocked the Yellow Turbans."

Xun Jian stopped suddenly, because he knew that they might not believe what he was going to say next.

"And then? Could it be that Mr. Liu Qing and his personal guards bought precious time for the defenders to arrive?" Cao Cao speculated.

"No, the young master and the personal guards have jointly slaughtered all the yellow scarves, and not a single one was left."

"Ah?" Cao Cao, Huangfusong, and Zhu Jun said at the same time, inconceivable.

17 people slaughtered 500 people. The three of them tried their best to imagine the scene, but they couldn't imagine it anyway. Those who had seen that scene still had a trace of horror on their faces when they recalled it.

"Afterwards, without taking a rest, the young master led sixteen cavalry out of the city and rushed towards Bo Cai's formation. The cavalry that the young master had arranged earlier also attacked from the rear of Bo Cai, flanking Bo Cai."

"Ah?!" The three felt incredulous.

With seventeen cavalry on one side and five hundred cavalry on the other, can it be called a pincer attack against more than 2 people?
Xun Jian continued: "The distance is so far that we couldn't see clearly what happened in the formation. We only saw the young master rushing straight into the formation, and soon came back with Bocai's head."

"Ah!!" The three of them habitually exclaimed in unison, as if they were numb!
Xun Jian only described it in a few words, but this is completely unimaginable, but Bocai's head is actually hanging on the head of Dongcheng, which makes people have to believe it!
The three generals remained silent, each with his own thoughts.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were ordered by the emperor to quell the chaos. They thought very simply. The resourcefulness, bravery, and fighting power displayed by Liu Qing could all be a great help in breaking the Yellow Turban!
However, Cao Cao was only temporarily worshiped as the captain of the cavalry, and was ordered to help the Changsha. It can be said that his task has been completed.

But when he saw Liu Qing, he thought of his past, and had many thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't say what it was for a while.

Afterwards, the three of them also thought of the same thing, that is, Liu Qing must participate in breaking the Yellow Turban!
Huangfu Song took the lead and said: "Young Master's bravery is rare in the world. Song deeply admires him, so I have a merciless request."

"General Huangfu, it's okay to say it!" Liu Qing said.

"Bocai has been defeated. Our army marched westward to Nanyang to encircle and suppress Zhang Mancheng's troops. However, our army may not be strong enough after the battle of Bocai. I hope you can help me."

Wan County has fallen, and I can't help even if I want to. I can't let my cavalry go to attack the city.

But Liu Qing still said, "It is our duty to exterminate the Yellow Turbans, but there are only a few hundred cavalry in my area, and the city of Wan County is high, so I am afraid they can't help much."

"If the young master goes, maybe there will be some strategy to destroy the city!" Zhu Jun said loudly, "I want to write a letter to the imperial court to show my merits for the young master, and let the imperial court send some soldiers and horses to you."

"Oh!" Cao Cao suddenly sighed.

"Why did Mengde sigh?"

"The court is controlled by the eunuchs, and now it is impossible to enter with honest words! Liu Qing beheaded Peng Tuo, and dedicated his head to Luoyang. Zhang Miao and Zhang Su were both promoted to rank, and only Liu Qing was not rewarded!"

"Bang!" Zhu Jun slapped the table, "The ten permanent attendants deceived the saint, why are we waiting for bloody battles!"

"Don't be angry, Gongwei!" Cao Cao said, "We should send the battle report and Bocai's head to Luoyang overnight to show your great achievements, and at the same time start to prepare troops and march into Nanyang as soon as possible. The prefect of Nanyang, Chu Gong, has been killed by Zhang Mancheng. The new Grand Administrator is Jiangxia Captain Qin Jie, who is on his way to Nanyang, and Yuan Shu, the new Huben Zhonglang General of the imperial court, is also recruiting troops in Nanyang."

"What Meng De said is very true! From this point of view, counting Jingzhou's reinforcements, our army also has the upper hand in the battle of Nanyang!" Huangfu Song echoed.

The two analyzed together and felt that Nanyang had a good chance of winning, but at this moment, Liu Qing spoke up.

"I don't think so!"

　I thought I was on time, but I wasn't, haha, over an hour late
