Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 425 The Name of the Demon King
Surrounded by dangerous peaks, it is not only difficult to climb, but also echoes the sound.

The sudden words made everyone follow the prestige, and saw a man standing on the top of the cliff with a sword in both hands, and the red robe behind him was fluttering and agitated by the mountain wind.

Because of the backlight, everyone can only see that it is one person.

Dong Zhuo looked at the people on the cliff, and was startled suddenly, he didn't expect that there were still people waiting here in these mountains.

The sentence "Kill the general of the big man, have you asked the king?" was obviously a warning from the other party, because he had just beheaded a general.

Leaning on the sword cliff, with his back to the mountains, as if he himself was a part of the mountain, blocking Dong Zhuo's last way of life.

Attracted by Liu Qing's voice, there was also a powerful leader of the gentry. They looked up and murmured whether this person was one of their own or Dong Zhuo's helper.

"Who is coming?" The leader of the gentry asked loudly.

Liu Qing ignored him, looked at Dong Zhuo who was struggling at the end, and said, "General Dong, you have been away for several years, you have all the power in the court, you are an extremely human minister, how come you even know this king?"

The sense of familiarity came again, and this time, Dong Zhuo recognized the owner of the voice.

King of Bohai.

Dong Zhuo froze, looked at the cliff in disbelief, and murmured: "The king of Bohai is actually the king of Bohai!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Dong Zhuo knelt down towards the person on the cliff with a groan, prostrated himself on the ground, and sobbed a little.

"Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo suffered a crushing defeat. Dong Zhuo is guilty!"

This move stunned all the powerful nobles. The great general Dong Zhuo, who would rather fight to the death than surrender just now, bowed down to others.

They looked at the cliff, vigilant in their hearts.

"This king knows, so I have been waiting here for a long time!"

Dong Zhuo sighed suddenly, "Zhuo Gong is on the verge of failure, death is not a pity, Your Majesty shouldn't go to this dangerous place for a doomed person like me."

"Things are impermanent, you lost, indeed faster than I thought, and much faster!"

Dong Zhuo suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Qing.

"Your Majesty knows we have this defeat?"

Liu Qing nodded, "If you don't notice people and use troops without discipline, how can you be undefeated?"

"Hey, hey, are you done yet?"

Seeing that Dong Zhuo started chatting with the people on the cliff, the leader of the gentry suddenly interrupted, "Since you are Dong Zhuo's helper, I will send you on the road together, chat slowly on the road to Huangquan!"

As soon as the words were finished, an arrow shot out from the forest, it was unbiased, and it fell into the scholar's chest. The scholar immediately rolled his eyes, kicked his legs, and fell off the dead horse.

The coalition forces immediately looked at their surroundings vigilantly as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"There is an ambush, there is an ambush!" Among the coalition forces, the news exploded, causing a commotion.

"The Xiaoxiao generation dares to raise troops. Don't you think that Jiangshan Sheji is just a joke in your hands?" Liu Qing sarcastically said.

Several scholars and tyrants headed by the coalition army all stared at Wan Liang who fell to the ground.

"Patriarch Wan was attacked and killed, kill him! Avenge Patriarch Wan!"

"But there are archers ambushing in the forest!" Some people were still afraid and hesitated.

Looking at this group of so-called coalition forces who were restless and lacking in courage, Liu Qing was furious.

The original plan was to let Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army consume as much as possible with Yuan Shu's army, but the gang of turds suddenly stole Dong Zhuo's home. , Tens of thousands of people were divided into more than a dozen teams, and Dong Zhuo was surrounded by only a hundred people in the end.

So Liu Qing didn't intend to let them go. This group of people came from Henan Yin, which was quite special, because there were basically no large-scale disasters here, and although there were wars, they usually did not endanger them.

For example, Jizhou, similar to the small gentry and the powerful, basically stood on both sides of the Yellow Turban, so from the Yellow Turban's rampage to the Yellow Turban's suppression, there are very few similar forces.

Another example is the land of Sanfu, where the Qiang-Liang rebels invaded several times and came to Chang'an several times. They plundered in the area of ​​​​Sanfu, regardless of their targets, so the gentry and powerful people in the area of ​​​​Sanfu were suppressed.

This is a good time, the wealthy landowners in Henan Yin have picked them out by themselves, how could Liu Qing miss this opportunity.

He left the sword with his left hand and swung it forward. There were rustling sounds in the forest, and groups of war horses came out of it, forming a semicircle to surround the coalition army and Dong Zhuo in the middle.

Seeing this, the coalition army felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Looking at the cavalry in cold armor in front of them, the fighting spirit in their hearts gradually dissipated, and even the horses could not help but retreat.

"How can such an elite cavalry be defeated?" someone said.

"This time, Dong Zhuo's helper is too powerful!"

The allied forces were chattering, already being severely intimidated by Zhang Liao's cavalry.

"Everyone, no matter what clan or clan you are, since you are here, please stay!" Liu Qing said.

This time, the coalition army became much quieter and began to listen to Liu Qing's words.

"Stay in Songshan, send someone to send a letter back, and exchange money and food! A small household has 20 shi, and a large household has [-] shi. When the food and grass arrive, you can go back." Liu Qing jumped down the nearly ten-foot-high rock and came Go to Dong Zhuo's side and help him up.

"Don't worry about Zhongying, with me here, they dare not do anything."

Liu Qing said a number casually, and the coalition forces blew up on the spot when they heard it. One hundred thousand shi and 20 shi are not small numbers. .

Someone urged: "Even if you can't beat Jin Ge and Iron Horse, you will fight them!"

"You are stupid, haven't you heard that he calls himself 'the king'? He is a great king, and attacking the clan is a conspiracy!"

"What kind of king, there are kings everywhere in this world!"

"Is it possible that he is the king of Bohai? You see Dong Zhuo kneels down to him!"

"Even the King of Bohai won't give it, because our Lu Hun Li family's food has already been snatched up by the Xiliang army!"

The coalition forces were chattering, some wanted to fight, some wanted to retreat, and some speculated about Liu Qing's identity. Although the King of Bohai had a great reputation, he had never appeared in Henan. To them, he was a legendary figure.

Dong Zhuo was lifted up by Liu Qing, and said again: "Your Majesty saved us once again, Dong Zhuo Wan will die!"

Liu Qing glanced at the coalition army, and said to Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, I'll leave it to you. If you don't want to pay the food, you will be punished for rebellion!"

After finishing the order, Liu Qing directly pulled Dong Zhuo aside, and said with a smile, "Zhongying, look who I brought here!"

When he was done, he clapped his hands.

Two guards walked out of the forest, and behind them were an old man with silver hair and a young girl.

Seeing the two of them, Dong Zhuo was stunned, "This..."

"Old mother!" Dong Zhuo rushed over immediately, knelt down in front of the old man, and cried, "Mother, we thought you were old..."

"We're fine, the king saved us and Xiaobai." Mother Dong was much calmer than Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo hugged Dong Bai's shoulders again, smiling all over his face, "Xiaobai! Very good, very good!"

Xiaobai also called out obediently: "Grandfather!"

Kneeling legs turned around again, kneeling towards Liu Qing again, "Your Majesty has shown us a kindness of rebuilding, and Dong Zhuo will spend the rest of his life working for His Majesty, in order to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"

Liu Qing stepped forward to help Dong Zhuo up for the second time, and said calmly: "They are all serving the imperial court!"

"I implore your Majesty to make it perfect!" Dong Zhuo knelt down again, and at the same time he did not forget to tell his subordinates, "All of you, kneel down for me!"

"I implore your majesty to grant it!" More than a hundred people said in unison, their voices were neat and loud.

Liu Qing glanced, these were Dong Zhuo's personal guard Feixiong Army, each of them was fierce, but it was a pity that Dong Zhuo's army was defeated like a mountain, and Feixiong Army was powerless to recover.

"That's all, I am the king of the Han Dynasty, and you are the general of the Han Dynasty. Serving the King is also serving the Han Dynasty. You can do whatever you want!"

Liu Qing originally had no intention of subduing Dong Zhuo, but since the chance coincided, let's follow the trend.

Congratulations to the lord for subduing the general 【Dong Zhuo】

Liu Qing discovered that Dong Zhuo's initial loyalty was higher than usual, perhaps because Liu Qing saved his life, as well as his old mother and granddaughter.

"Get up, Zhongying! You are a general after all, why are you kneeling?"

"Dong Zhuo will no longer be a great general!" As he said that, Dong Zhuo was pulled up by Liu Qing, and continued: "At the beginning, following the king's plan, he entered Luoyang with a strong force. In just a few years, Zhuo was an extremely human minister. But now, it is a situation where everyone shouts and beats me, shame on me!"

Liu Qing smiled, "It's not like there's nothing for nothing."

Generally speaking, the general trend of the world is still running under Liu Qing's control, just like Dong Zhuo will definitely lose, but the defeat will be fast. I gave myself a big gift.

Tens of thousands of powerful gentry ripped off the coalition forces.

This trip was definitely not in vain, and it happened again!

"Luoyang has been occupied by Yuan Shu, the emperor is missing, and the capital has fallen. What can the king gain?" Dong Zhuo said.

Liu Qing glanced in Zhang Liao's direction. At this time, the coalition forces were surrounded by the middle, and the gap in equipment made them retreat again and again, almost retreating below the platform.

"I wonder if Your Majesty also has a plan to attack Luo Yang?"

Liu Qing shook his head, "Not yet."

Liu Qing doesn't need Liu Qing to deliberately target Yuan Shu, the so-called deadly crowd, he needs to be given the time and space to do it.

"I'm going back to Jizhou now that it's over. As for you, you're in charge of Bingzhou for the king. You're fine. You just need to train your troops and catch thieves." Liu Qing said lightly.

"Follow your majesty's orders!" Dong Zhuo said.

Liu Qing smiled: "Okay, let's go and see those aristocratic children."

Dong Zhuo walked after him, Liu Qing stood beside Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao pointed to the two factions, and said: "The ones here are willing to redeem people with food, and those who are here are begging the king to let them go, if the king does not allow them, They will fight to the death!"

Although it is not enough to admire them, Liu Qinggao still took a look at these people.

Now that you're all over the top...

The ransom is also higher.

"Since you don't want to, then double the ransom! Only in this way can you be worthy of the cooperating gentry, Zhong Ying, don't you think so?"

"Your Majesty says yes!" Dong Zhuo said with a smile.

Liu Qing looked at the coalition forces who were still trying to resist, and said: "Give me half an hour to think about it. If you don't accept double, then triple it. God has the virtue of good life. This king has already given three chances! Can you Catch it, it's all up to you!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Qing was about to turn around, when he suddenly remembered to add another sentence: "One more thing, don't try to escape, the king's army is also at the foot of the mountain."

Liu Qing took two steps, turned his head again, and said, "One more thing, this king is the king of Bohai!"

A faint word immediately exploded in the coalition forces. Although there were speculations before, it was only after it was confirmed that the impact expanded to the maximum.

The Bohai King is too familiar to the subjects of the world who are good at eating melons. It is almost a topic of conversation after dinner. Moreover, many legends of Liu Qing have been passed down to an extremely outrageous level.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the coalition forces reacted in this way.

Soon, the group of people who disagreed with the ransom began to divide and ran to the other side.

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "My lord's prestige is more effective than any powerful weapon!"

Dian Wei on the other side frowned, seeing that there were fewer and fewer "stubborn" elements left, he wiped his two halberds silently.

Dong Zhuo was also shocked by their move, he did not expect the prestige of King Bohai to be so prominent.

He once thought that he was the most feared person in the world, and the few people he tortured and killed in Luoyang were enough to shock the world, and people even gave him the name "Devil King".

However, in the face of the Demon King, these guys shouted and killed him, chasing him to the mountains.

But in the face of Bohai King Liu Qing, who has always given Dong Zhuo a sense of kindness and benevolence, it was as if he had seen a ghost.

Who is the real "devil king"?
"The name of the king's benevolence is well known in the world, why do they..." Dong Zhuo was curious, so he asked.

Liu Qing thought for a while, his personality was indeed benevolent, and he quickly thought of the reason.

It is because of the incident in Anping County, Jizhou.

Liu Qing once ordered Shenpei and Zhao Yun to clean up the tyrants in the entire Anping County. The so-called cleaning is almost the same as today's method of asking for ransom.

Military deterrence, deprivation of land, and then renting it out to civilians at a low price, Anping's restructuring is completely coercive and bloody. Since they choose to oppose, Liu Qing's kindness will not be shared with them.

Perhaps it was because they belonged to the powerful class of the gentry that they paid more attention to these rumors. As for how these rumors spread, Liu Qing really didn't care whether Liu Qing was a heinous devil in their eyes.

The right to speak is in the hands of the big gentry, and the support of the people lies in the common people. Liu Qing takes these two groups seriously. As for the small gentry and the powerful, a little comparison is like a chicken rib.

In addition, Liu Qing has his own army, so there is no need for local tyrants to provide parts to fight for Liu Qing, and the latter is an important force for the separatist forces in most places.

It is also Liu Qing's key target!
