Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

When a group of people arrived in front of the county mansion, Cao Cao stretched out his hand before answering in time, and said, "My lord, please!"

After Liu Qing started, Cao Cao turned his head and confessed to Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong: "Go take a hot bath, change into clean clothes, and remember to bring General Dianwei!"

The three generals left, and Cao Cao followed Liu Qing into the mansion, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty asked me to guess, but I guessed that Yuan Benchu ​​was headstrong, and Jiang Qi withdrew at will, fearing that he would be dismissed by Yuan Benchu. It can be broken with one blow!"

Liu Qingdao was a little surprised that Cao Cao's guess was almost inseparable. He can only say that he is indeed a good friend who has played since he was a child, and it is Cao Cao who knows Yuan Shao.

"The one who knows Yuan Benchu ​​is also Cao Mengde! Hahaha!" Liu Qing laughed, "I captured Guo Tu last time and let him go back, but Guo Tu brought someone to defeat him again, so I let him go back , Yuan Shao has such a capable person under his command, An Neng is invincible!"

"Hahaha! I didn't expect that the king is unparalleled in battle, and his resourcefulness is also outstanding! Closer to home, Jiang Qi's siege ability is really extraordinary. He has a group of capable people and good craftsmen to make equipment for him. This thing is in the siege. , causing great damage."

"In this way, if Jiang Qi can be replaced, it will be a good thing." Liu Qing said, but he was thinking in his heart, how to get Jiang Qi under his command, and then cut off Yuan Shao's arm.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by taking the initiative to attack just now? Could it be that Your Majesty intends to take back Bo County?"

"Why not? Yuan Shao came all the way, the north-south passage was cut off by Liang Guo, and before Bo County withdrew its troops, all supplies were transferred away. Yuan Jun may not be able to last long with the supplies of Jiyin alone. We only need to destroy their supplies. , Bo County will be destroyed without attacking, there is no need to bite the bullet and attack the city, not to mention that behind Yuan Jun, there is Dong Zhuo's army, and Jiyin is in danger. In the past two days, there should be news. We will take advantage of these two days to order the soldiers Let's take a good rest!" Liu Qing analyzed.

Originally thought that Yuan Jun's main attack direction was in the south, and Liu Qing personally led the elite troops to go there. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao did the opposite and set the main attack direction in the north.

To be reasonable, Yuan Jun did have an unexpected effect. Yuan Jun's advance was extremely smooth, and the army attacked the city, causing Cao Jun to suffer heavy casualties. This is Yuan Jun's gain, but Yuan Shao's idea should be to attack Suiyang in one go. You will face the danger of being attacked from both sides.

Zhang Yang, who was stationed in Dingtao, could hold back Dong Zhuo for a while, but it was impossible for Dong Zhuo to defeat Dong Zhuo's [-] army, so Yuan Shao didn't have much time. Meng County was able to hold on, not just a matter of gaining or losing a city, but It is a major matter related to the progress of Yuan Shao's grand strategy.

Liu Qing could already imagine Yuan Shao's expression when he learned that Meng County was guarding.

Just as Liu Qing expected, in Bo County, when Jiang Qi brought back the news of the withdrawal of troops, Yuan Shao's entire face became gloomy.

"Yiqu, you can send a full [-] troops to attack Meng County, but with Cao Cao and a negligible Liu Bei, you actually withdrew the army back! It can be seen that our fighter is Jiyin, Zhang Yang and Ju Yi risked his life to work it out! You have wasted it for nothing!" Yuan Shao scolded angrily.

"Yuan Gong, the king of Bohai has arrived in Meng County. I also want to protect the siege troops. Cao's army is blocked in the city, so there is no danger. But if the siege formation is rushed by the cavalry of the king of Bohai, the consequences will be disastrous!" Jiang Qi argued. . …

"The king of Bohai is clearly in Yan County, how could he reach Meng County so soon!" Feng Ji questioned.

"It's true, and the lieutenant Ding Ying was killed by Dian Wei when he was fighting with Dian Wei under King Bohai." Jiang Qi said.

Regarding the general's dissatisfaction with Ding Ying, Jiang Qi suppressed the matter. Ding Ying is Ding Yuan's nephew, and death in battle is not a bad reputation.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he became even angrier. He slammed the table and shouted, "What! Ding Ying died in battle? Dian Wei!"

Seeing that Yuan Shao was on the verge of going berserk, Feng Ji quickly persuaded him: "Mr. Yuan, the most urgent thing to do now is to understand how the battle in Jiyin is going. If Dingtao can still hold out, then we should take advantage of this time to attack again. Otherwise, we will stop thinking about Liang's plan. !"

"Yes, what Yuan Tu said is true! Can the military newspaper be delivered today?"

Just as Yuan Shao finished asking, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

"Report-"

"Dingtao Urgent Report! General Ju Yi ambushed Dong Zhuo in the northeast of Dingtao and killed Dong Zhuo's general Yang Ding! Dong Zhuo failed to attack Dingtao City for the third time and has temporarily evacuated!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he said "Good"!
"Yuan Tu, God bless our army, it seems that we should take advantage of this time to attack Meng County again!"

Feng Ji nodded and said: "Yuan Gong is wise, General Jiang, don't miss this opportunity!"

Yuan Shao looked at Jiang Qi, hesitated, thought for a moment, Yuan Shao planned to supervise the army himself.

"Yiqu, I want to personally oversee the army, do you have the confidence to take down Meng County?"

Jiang Qi had a headache. This kind of situation was the last thing he wanted to see. Yuan Shao would either withdraw him, or let him take full command. How to fight this kind of battle under the supervision of others?You want to lure the enemy, but he wants you to attack and bite the bullet, and you want to persevere to the end, but he wants you to retreat. There are too many conflicting details.

"The front line is dangerous, Yuan Gong think twice!" Jiang Qi reminded.

"Huh, in the past, I led an army into the palace and killed eunuchs, so why not be afraid of mere battlefields! Besides, this is not the first time I have been on the battlefield!"

Yuan Gong, you are also the first to be captured from time to time, Jiang Qi cursed in his heart.

Jiang Qi was powerless to make such a decision, and Feng Ji on the side did not persuade him. He also hoped that Yuan Shao could supervise the battle. This would undoubtedly boost the morale of the former army.

Almost the same news spread to Meng County after half a day.

Liu Qing was discussing with Cao Cao the route to march when he heard that there was a battle report from Jiyin.

Dong Zhuo failed to attack Jiyin three times, and his general Yang Ding was ambushed and killed by Ju Yi.

Liu Qing and Cao Cao were a little surprised when they heard this. A [-] army could not cope with a city.

"I didn't expect Zhang Yang and Juyi to cooperate seamlessly, one inside and one outside. It seems that Yuan Jun may not fall into decline as the king expected. I guess it won't be long before Yuan Jun will come to Meng County again."

"Wouldn't it be better for Yuan Jun to come to your door by himself? This saves me from researching the route of the army. On the way to Meng County, I have already ordered Zhang He's troops to go north. This Meng County will not be guarded anymore. You and I, the two armies, and Yuan Shao fights a field battle!"

"Good field battle! This city defense battle is so suffocating, I really feel ashamed of the soldiers!"

It has been said that the king will be responsible, why are you talking about this again.

Liu Qing felt that the battle with Yuan Shao was imminent, and it was time to make a big deal for Cao Cao.

"Meng De, what do you think of the land of Yanzhou?"...

Cao Cao didn't understand the meaning of Liu Qing's question for a while, but his sixth sense seemed to realize something, so he stared at Liu Qing blankly, with expectation in his eyes.

"Yuan Shao named himself a Yanzhou Shepherd, but after the Jiyin War ended, Yanzhou and Yuan Shao only had the title of 'Yanzhou Shepherd'. After Yuan Shao's defeat this time, the forces will retreat back to Yuzhou. At that time, The king wants to present Mengde as the new Yanzhou pastor.

Cao Cao's eyes gradually widened, and his joy could not be contained. He put his hands together and saluted Liu Qing, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Cao Cao is very grateful!"

Can Cao Cao not be excited? This is a state shepherd. This is the rhythm of being equal to Yuan Shaoping in one fell swoop. Compared with Yuan's background, Cao's background is completely different. If he can sit in this position, he will definitely be glorious The great matter of the lintel.

"Hey, what did Meng De say? Now that the country is about to fall, this king will not treat anyone who contributes to the great man badly! But this king still has a small request."

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

"Yanzhou was one of the first places to be poisoned by the Yellow Turban, and after the Yellow Turban, the war continued, Liu Dai killed Qiaomao, and Yuan's assassinated Liu Dai, and Yuan and Dong fought for it. The battle of the white horse and the battle of Puyang almost never stopped. Wang hopes that after Meng De takes charge of Yanzhou, he can follow the governance model of Jizhou, lighten the corvee and pay less, and recuperate!"

Cao Cao understood what Liu Qing meant. Yanzhou was still the territory of the King of Bohai, and it was just left to him to govern, but this was enough. Cao Cao was willing to accept the name of Yanzhou Mu.

The King of Bohai himself is now the Bingzhou Shepherd, that is to say, apart from the prince and title, he and the King of Bohai are on an equal footing.

"The people are so difficult, it should be so!" Cao Cao agreed.

Liu Qing smiled, very satisfied.

At this time, a notification came from outside, "General Liu and General Zhao are here."

General Liu and General Zhao are naturally Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also followed, but their current status cannot be reported.

"See you, Your Majesty!" Liu Bei led his brothers and said in unison.

"I've met my lord!" Zhao Yun saluted briefly.

"Come, come, sit down and talk!"

Liu Qing waved his hand to guide the crowd, Liu Bei was kneeling at the front, and Guan Zhang was sitting behind.

Zhao Yun's companion sat next to Liu Qing, and his sitting posture was very upright, as if influenced by Liu Bei, he was very cautious, and he was indeed close to Zhu Zhechi.

"Xuande, how is the battle at the East Gate?"

Liu Bei glanced at Zhao Yun and replied: "The defense went smoothly. With the help of Zilong, nearly 4000 Yuan Jun were captured in World War I. In addition to repelling the Yuan Jun who invaded today, the total number of Yuan Jun captured in this battle has exceeded five." thousand."

When Cao Cao heard this, he was taken aback on the spot.

5000 prisoners?You, Liu Bei, have only 2000 soldiers and horses in total, and you captured 5000 people?It must have been done by General Zilong.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun immediately slapped his face and said: "Master, when the last general dares to arrive, Yuan Jun has already been defeated. I just captured thousands of Yuan Jun who have already collapsed!"

Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Cao Cao couldn't help being curious, that is to say, with his 2000 men, Liu Bei defeated Yuan Jun, which was several times his size?
2000 people, going out of the city to fight?
When I flattened the Yellow Turban with Liu Bei before, why didn't I find out: Cao Cao immediately looked at Liu Bei with admiration, this Liu Xuande, who is not showing any emotions, is a ruthless person! …

Liu Qing went on to say: "Yuan's army retreated, but Jiyin Dong Zhuo suffered a setback. Soon, Yuan's army will surely make a comeback. This king has decided not to defend the city in this battle, but to use our army's strengths in cavalry to fight Yuan Shao in a field battle. "

"My lord, where will this battle be chosen?"

Liu Qing didn't speak, but looked at Cheng Yu instead.

Cheng Yu was at a loss for a while, looked at Cao Cao, and gave a questioning look: I will decide?
Liu Qing thought, here you are the only one with an intelligence over 90, isn't it you who wants us to have an intelligence of more than 70?

"Zhong De, Your Majesty has just arrived in Meng County. You are most familiar with Yuan Jun's military situation here, so you can tell me about it!"

Cheng Yu took a step forward and said, "Everyone, please take a look!"

Cheng Yu pointed to the map, "In the middle of Meng County and Bo County, there is a small river named Bianshui. Yuan Jun built a camp on the north and south banks of the river in order to cross the river without interference. Between the two camps, another camp was built. A wooden bridge, Yuan Shao's siege army is stationed in the South Village. These soldiers are the siege infantry with low combat power, while Yuan's elite army is stationed in the North Village. In my opinion, the first target of this battle is to It is to deal with the tens of thousands of infantry in Nanzhai, so it is very important to seize this bridge and prevent Yuan Jun's elite from supporting the south bank in this battle!"

"Yuan Jun's infantry is actually stationed in the camp, so how can we block the way back?" Liu Qing asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, we can wait. If Dong Zhuo loses, Yuan Jun will definitely attack Meng County again. At that time, all the Nanzhai infantry will attack, and our army will set up ambushes along the way and everywhere, so that all other armies can't take care of it. Then order another brave cavalry , take a detour to seize the main bridge, and hold it!"

As soon as the brave cavalry was mentioned, everyone's eyes fell on Liu Qing.

Liu Qing: Don't be like this, everyone here is very brave!
While speaking, Cheng Yu pointed out more than a dozen locations on the map, and said: "These places, whether there are slopes and valleys, or dense forests, are all places for ambushes, and Yuan's army is powerful, so they must divide their troops and march. Everywhere, maybe there will be a way."

Good guy, Cheng Yu arranged more than a dozen ambush points in one go. Do the three lords have so many generals leading the army?

Liu Qing counted silently in his mind, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Yu Jin, plus the three lords, could really separate out more than a dozen armies.

It is estimated that Yuan Shao himself did not expect that in the past, more than a dozen princes of him attacked Dong Zhuo. Today, Liu Qing, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei's three armies are attacking him.

"Mr. Zhongde's plan is not inferior to Guo Fengxiao's! This king agrees with this plan!" Liu Qing declared his position, taking advantage of the situation and praised Cheng Yu a lot.

"Fuck agrees!"

"Also agree!"

The three armies reached a consensus.

"Okay! Next, all the armies will send out cavalry posts to closely monitor the situation in Yuan Jun's camp, prepare the soldiers, horses and rations, and be ready to go out at any time!" Liu Qing ordered.

"Follow Your Majesty's Order!" Everyone said in unison.

……

After the battle strategy was set, all the armies in Meng County began to prepare for the battle, and they were very busy. Finally, Liu Qing took over the task of attacking the camp and breaking the road. The success or failure of this task is directly related to the safety of the three armies. safety.

Because even if Yuan Shao used the most elite cavalry under his command to fight hard, Liu Qing would not be afraid at all. This point has been proved by Yan Liangwen and Chou.

However, in order to minimize the unnecessary losses of the friendly forces, Liu Qing could only bear everything silently.

Two days later, a message came from the riding post that Yuan Jun started to move. Just when Liu Qing was eager to try and shouted "the whole army is attacking", an urgent report from Yingchuan shocked Liu Qing, Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
