Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Ding Yuan responded to Yuan Shao's tactics. After retreating from Juyang County, he retreated straight back to Dingtao, the county government, and handed over Juyang County to Xu Rong.

Zhang Yang was very puzzled, he bled, sweated, and was injured in order to defend Juyang, but now he withdrew without saying a word, and asked Ding Yuan several times along the way, but Ding Yuan couldn't help it, so he had to tell the truth.

"Uncle Zhi, the withdrawal of the army was ordered by Yuan Shao. In name, he is the shepherd of Yanzhou and I am the governor of Jiyin County. But in reality, you and I are both attached to the Yuan family. How can we disobey orders?" Ding Yuan explained. When it was over, he muttered: "You think I'm willing to retreat. I'm a state rider, and I only know how to charge and kill the enemy. Why did I get to this land of the Central Plains and spend the whole day defending the city, and even pretended to be defeated? What's the point!"

"Hey!" Zhang Yang lamented, aggrieved in his heart.

"Don't be annoyed if you are young, if you can defeat Xu Rong in this battle, you and I will still be famous!"

"I hope! I hope Xu Rong can be fooled!"

At the place where Ding Yuan withdrew his troops, a group of soldiers and horses slowly entered the city. Xu Rong looked at the top of the city gate, where the name of Ju Yang was hung on a wooden sign, and said to Duan Yan beside him: "Ding Yuan withdraws his troops on his own initiative, there must be a deceit. Lead the army into the city first, and General Duan will station outside the city. Waiting for tomorrow, there is a small town twenty miles southwest of this, called Jiami, you go and occupy it, and help each other with me."

"Is General Xu overly cautious? Ding Yuan has lost several battles. He knew that he was invincible, so he withdrew, which is logical."

"General Duan doesn't know something. I have fought against Ding Yuan for several years. I know his combat power. Bingzhou cavalry has been guarding the border all year round, which is comparable to the Xiliang army. Besides, the autumn harvest has just passed, and there is no possibility of running out of food. What do you say? , how could he take the initiative to retreat?"

When Duan Yan heard Xu Rong say this, his thoughts immediately became clear, "They want to lure the enemy to go deep and lure me into the country alone!"

"I also have such doubts!" ​​Xu Rong said seriously.

"Then this sentence, should we want it or not?"

"Yuan Shao is so generous that he handed him over, so there is no reason not to!" Xu Rong said with a smile: "I not only want, but I also want to take down the surrounding cities and post houses to strengthen the defense here. When Dong Gong's reinforcements arrive, I will try again Dingtao!"

"I'm afraid General Xu will be disappointed. The situation in Nanyang has changed suddenly. Dong Gong will not send reinforcements this time." Duan Yan said.

After hearing this, Xu Rong stopped walking into the city and stood where he was, as if he was thinking.

"The situation in Nanyang is really anxious. Han Sui's rebellion will have a great impact on the situation. If there is no reinforcements, we should not rush into it. We will stick to this place, and with the help of the King of Bohai, it will not be difficult to gain a foothold."

"Haha, I hope that Bingzhou Mu will go south immediately and bring Ding Yuan's Bingzhou Army back to Bingzhou." Duan Yan laughed. Speaking of Bingzhou Mu Liu Qing, although Duan Yan has just arrived, he also learned something from Xu Rongna thing.

Yanzhou got three points, King Bohai won the second, and Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao shared the first.

Duan Yan knew very well that it was also for this reason that Dong Zhuo's troops in Yanzhou were far inferior to those in Nanyang.

Xu Rong separated from Duan Yan and led the army into the city. The streets in Juyang City were empty. As soon as the battle broke out, the people of Juyang began to flee. When Ding Yuan left, a large number of people followed Ding Yuan.

"Pass down the order, after entering the city and settling down, start a gang immediately, and don't loot the people in the city!"

Xu Rong gave an order that could make the restless soldiers calm down, so it was just a matter of cooking.

……

Jizhou, Yecheng.

It was high in the sun, and the sun was shining through the window paper. Liu Qing casually glanced at it, felt it was dazzling, so he put it back, then sat up, and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

who I am?where am I?Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, then immediately remembered the night he spent in Diaochan's Tianxiang Garden last night.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

A melodious sound came to my ears, and the figure of Diao Chan came slowly, turning around in surprise, with lotus steps, just ordinary walking, but also as beautiful as a dancing posture, the red flower waist skirt blooms and blossoms with the lotus steps, like blooming flowers.

Liu Qing recalled Diao Chan's words last night: "Your Majesty, come and enjoy the dance of my concubine."

In the end, not only enjoyed it, but also "danced" together. It's just that Liu Qing fought in all directions and was used to sitting on a pommel horse. His waist is relatively hard, and some dancing postures are relatively useless...

"What time is it?" Liu Qing asked.

"It's two o'clock."

Oh, at this time, I should accompany Cai Yan to read the morning newspaper. Cai Yan will not say anything if I am half an hour late, but it will delay my lunch with Xun Cai. That girl can't eat a little bit Fortunately, spend less time with her, and you can even say the words of extra compensation for one night.

The master of time management thinks that today may be overturned!
There is no other way but to compress Cai Yan's time a bit more. She is the empress of the country, and she should be magnanimous, so Liu Qing decided in his heart.

"Help me up quickly!"

Liu Qing said to simply freshen up, put on a big cloak and go straight to the study.

Stepping into it, sure enough, Cai Yan was already waiting there.

"Ahem, it's really early for Zhao Ji to come."

Liu Qing went up, took a roll of silk scrolls casually, unfolded them, and sat down behind the case. After Liu Qing sat down, Cai Yan bent down and sat beside him.

Cai Yan suddenly said softly: "I know that Sister Diaochan is the most beautiful and charming among us, but my husband still needs to be more restrained."

After speaking, his face flushed.

Liu Qing quibbled on the spot: "This king just appreciates Diao Chan's dancing posture, so the night is getting late before you know it, and you know that this king has always been eager to learn." Then he lowered his voice, leaned close to Cai Yan's ear and said: "This Isn't it the same when the king learned the piano from you?"

Liu Qing burst into a smirk, and Cai Yan was immediately shy, and quickly covered her face with a scroll of silk.

This is not learning piano, it is obvious that someone was ingenious and insisted on serving the bed, and put it another way. He went to Zhaoji to learn piano, went to Diaochan to learn dancing, went to Xun Cai to teach Xun Cai how to ride horses, and also went to Xun Cai. Qian Ying then learns foreign languages.

Xianbei is a foreign language, so there is nothing wrong with it.

"Yeah." Liu Qing woke up and started his day's business.

Zhao Ji unfolded the silk book in her hand, and said: "Dong Zhuojia sent two generals Guo Si and Hua Xiong to Nanyang, and Dong Min led an army of [-] soldiers at Xuanyuanguan."

"It seems that Dong Zhuo is determined to win Nanyang, and Han Sui probably pissed him off."

Although the current Dong Zhuo is much more normal than in history and has not embarked on the road of tyranny, his cruel character has not changed. He is still as ruthless to opponents and enemies as ever. He tortured and killed Wu Fu and killed Zhang Wen with a stick. Now Han Sui turned against him. Dong Zhuo's reaction showed that he wished he could swallow Han Sui alive.

"Husband, Han Sui rebelled, so his territory in Liangzhou will be taken away by Ma Teng, the gain outweighs the loss?"

"Not necessarily. If the Yuan family wins the dispute between Yuan and Dong, then Liangzhou will belong to Han Sui alone. Han Sui is betting. After Ma Teng's rise, he will be subordinate to him. Therefore, this action is a small gain."

Even if Yuan Shao loses in the competition, Han Sui still has soldiers and horses in his hands, and it is easy to occupy a place, which means that the loss is limited, and once Yuan wins, he will be awarded the "court" title, which has both strength and legal principles. Only then can we really stand firm.

Generally speaking, Han Sui is just a man who sees the wind and turns the rudder, and he can't make any waves. Dong Zhuo went to crusade, mostly to vent his anger, and when the battles elsewhere were tight, he would readjust his tactics.

Dong Zhuo is such a flexible person.

Cai Yan opened another letter, which was about the appointment from Luoyang. Wang Fu succeeded Wu Fu as the new captain of Yueqi.

The next few letters are all similar things, so they will be skipped quickly.

"There is an unknown team escorting supplies from Nanyang to Runan." Cai Yan read through the newly launched letter without thinking, "The object is unknown, the purpose is unknown, and the supplies are also unknown. What kind of letter is this?"

It was indeed vague, but it happened so that Liu Qing felt that this letter was very important.

Liu Qing took the letter and saw that there were not too many words in it, and Cai Yan had already read it all out.

"The letter calls for an unknown team. Among the various forces in Nanyang, which team can be called an unknown team?"

Cai Yan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately replied: "Han Sui who just left Ma Teng!"

Liu Qing asked again: "What needs to be escorted by soldiers and horses?"

"Food, or military supplies!"

"Then send it to Runan, and who to send it to, of course it goes without saying."

"Give it to Yuan Shao." Cai Yan muttered.

"But the problem is, based on Yuan Shao's accumulation and this year's bumper harvest, Runan has been sending grain and grass to Nanyang, so what is transported from Nanyang to Runan must be military supplies, and it is definitely not ordinary military supplies! Because Yuan Shao doesn't need it at all." Liu Qing According to the analysis, Liu Qing has heard about Yuan Shao's obsession with farming and casting during this period.

Cai Yan opened his eyes wide. He couldn't imagine that such a large amount of information could be analyzed from just a few numbers. Perhaps this is the real military intelligence. Even if this kind of information is robbed, ordinary people can't see anything.

Liu Qing looked out the window, guessing the approximate time, it was time to leave early.

"This matter must be investigated strictly! Zhaoji, I will discuss it with the military adviser!"

Cai Yan was convinced of this and nodded repeatedly.

Liu Qing took the letter and planned to leave the study room. Before going out, he turned back and said, "After discussing with the military adviser, I went directly to Junlan Garden to accompany my daughter to have dinner. Madam, let's go back and rest now!"

"En." Cai Yan responded lightly, got up immediately, and planned to leave.

After leaving the study, Liu Qing called Ban Ming immediately.

"Han Sui or other forces secretly transported a batch of military supplies to Runan. Immediately notify the Southern Company to investigate the matter!"

"Here!"

Watching Ban Ming leave, Liu Qing abducted to Narada Court in a blink of an eye, and had lunch with Xun Cai. I don't know what Xun Cai thought, the name was just like a big hotel.

Turn around and invite some cooks from Yingchuan to send her off...

……

When the north wind blows, it makes the leaves "squeak". If you don't pay attention, you will be taken away from the trees by the cold wind and fly into the sky.

Tao Qian stared at the leaves flying all over the sky in a daze.

It's not normal, because the leaves in the deciduous forest have fallen as early as autumn, and now it's early winter. Originally, these southern trees that would keep their green leaves for the winter can withstand the biting cold wind and severe cold, but the sight in front of them The scene foreshadows that they are dying.

"It will be severe cold this year!" Tao Qian said abruptly.

"Why did the envoy make such a statement?" Chen Deng asked.

Tao Qian glanced at the marching soldiers and said, "Look at them."

Chen Deng followed suit and saw that all the marching soldiers were marching with their weapons tucked under their armpits and their hands folded.

"Where is this place?" Tao Qian asked.

The Kanyu officer replied: "My lord, there are still twenty miles away from Huling County on the border of Shanyang County."

"Looks like we won't be able to arrive today. Order the whole army to stay overnight in the valley ahead! Cut wood to make fire, don't let the soldiers freeze at night."

After the military order was passed on, Chen Deng said with a smile: "The envoy really loves soldiers like sons, and the soldiers will definitely fight for the envoy!"

Tao Qian smiled, "Yuanlong, I, Tao Qian, don't have a strong family background. The prefect of Cangwu, Mr. Gan, took a fancy to her and married her to me. That's why I'm here today. I'm sorry that those who have relied on me have always been these Danyang who fought bloody for me. son!"

Chen Deng's smile froze immediately, Tao Qian's words were a bit jarring.

The implication seems to be: I, Tao Qian, can gain a foothold in Xuzhou because of these Danyang soldiers, not you Xiapi Chen.

That night, Tao Qian camped in the valley, and piles of bonfires were lit in the valley to keep the soldiers warm.

Several figures stood on the hillside.

"Hehe, General, they are so bold that they dared to light a fire in a temporary camp."

"It's freezing cold, who would have expected the temperature to drop so sharply, not to mention them, I feel cold! Fortunately, I brought some clothes for the soldiers from Taishan County, otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to survive the journey!" Zhang Liao said badly.

When I came out, not to mention how hot it was, it had been half a year outside in a blink of an eye, and the military supplies to keep out the cold hadn't arrived yet because of the drastic drop in temperature.

"General, what should I do? Otherwise, the north wind is strong tonight, and the sky is dry. Our army will set fire directly from the north, and the entire valley will be engulfed in flames."

Zhang Liao glanced at Yan Xing, the general, and seeing the fire light reflected from a distance dancing in his eyes, he complained, "You are more like Guo Jia's general!"

Yan Xing smiled foolishly, "The general said, what should we do?"

Zhang Liao stretched out his hand to feel the downwind, then retracted it because of the cold, and said, "Since Tao Qianjun is afraid of the cold, let's give him a fire."

Zhang Liao still adopted Yan Xing's plan of arson with the wind.

Yan Xing was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that his proposal was accepted, he was a little excited, and said: "General, I will leave this matter to the last general!"

Zhang Liao nodded, and he didn't need to say anything, it was also handed over to him, because Zhang Liao had other arrangements.

As the night deepened, the howling of the night wind became louder, and piles of bonfires made a "crackling" sound. The bonfires were blown very vigorously and brightly by the wind, baking the nearby camps, and the soldiers in the camps were exhausted after a day. After the march, enter a warm dreamland.

The night wind howled and the bonfire crackled, as usual.

Until several mountain fires gradually spread, and finally connected into a line of fire, under the blowing of the north wind, they rushed forward like a rising tide.

Tao Qian's camp was set up in the valley, and some sentry posts were either too tired to take a nap, or they were facing the campfire to keep warm. Anyway, if there is any movement, it's good to be able to find it.

The first person who discovered the mountain fire was a soldier who got up at night. When he was relaxing outside the camp with sleepy eyes, a heat wave hit him and made him shiver suddenly. He woke up suddenly, seeing When the fire was in front of him, the pores of his whole body exploded, and he shouted loudly: "It's water!"

Those dazed sentries, those who were warming the fire, reacted immediately and came to check, but when they looked north, the mountain fire had become overwhelming and swept across.

"The mountain fire is coming! The mountain fire is coming!" The sentries watched without shy away.

Soon, Tao Qian, who was in a light sleep, was awakened by loud noises. He quickly came outside the tent and was shocked when he saw the mountain fire. Afterwards, Chen Deng, Cao Bao and others also woke up and found Tao Qian.

"Quick! Get the soldiers out of the valley!" Tao Qian ordered, "Cao Bao, lead the cavalry out of the valley first!"

After the fire entered the valley, the spread slowed down due to the anti-terrain and sparse vegetation, but its momentum was already in a state of inextinguishability, and there was no way to evacuate.

There was a sudden commotion in the valley, shouts, roars, one after another, Tao Qian led the soldiers to run out of the valley, many people escaped the fire, but were smoked, and they all fell to the ground and coughed violently.

Among them was Tao Qian. As he was getting older, he ran down on both feet, panting, and inhaled a lot of smoke and dust.

When everyone was resting, many torches suddenly lit up ahead, blocking the way.

A strange yet familiar voice came:
"Tao Shijun, do you need help?"

(PS: I haven’t seen so many monthly tickets and rewards for a long time. Thank you! It was supposed to be 6000 today, but I was notified tonight that I had to queue up for accounting, so I can only make sure next time.)
