Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 427 2 tigers compete for food, drive away tigers and swallow wolves

Liu Xie was a small one, not even tall enough to reach his waist, and his delicate face showed no sign of timidity, looking at Liu Qing.

The empress dowager pushed behind her, and then Liu Xie remembered to say the title that the emperor's grandmother taught him.

"The emperor is all right."

Liu Qing went straight forward, smiled at Empress Dowager Dong, picked up Liu Xie, and walked into the house.

Everyone was stunned.

What is this operation?
Guo Jia frowned, and muttered: "My lord, did you make a mistake? Is it because you are carrying the emperor or not... Zhongying, what are you doing?"

Before Dong Zhuo knelt down on the ground, he saw other people motionless.

"Don't you need to bow down when you see the emperor?"

As soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, everyone had already followed up and headed towards the house.

Liu Qing hugged Liu Xie and went straight to the main hall without saying a word.

"Luoyang is already in chaos. How is your Majesty doing well? Are you used to living here?"

"Thanks to Uncle Huang for saving me, otherwise I would have been killed by Dong..." Liu Xie's childish voice stopped abruptly, and he quickly rubbed his eyes with his small hands, and took another look.

I saw the Dong Zhuo he was talking about just happened to enter the hall.

Dong Zhuo was not short, and he was the fattest one. Among the crowd, he was undoubtedly the most eye-catching one. Seeing Dong Zhuo, Liu Xie was stunned and looked at Liu Qing in confusion.

Uncle Huang and Dong Zhuo are in the same group?Didn't the imperial grandmother say that Dong Zhuo had turned bad?
Seeing Liu Xie staring at Dong Zhuo, Liu Qing vaguely guessed his thoughts, and immediately said: "General Dong is a loyal minister of the great man!"

As soon as this remark came out, Dong Zhuo couldn't help being moved when he heard this, and immediately knelt down in front of Liu Qing and Liu Xie, crying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it is Dong Zhuo's fault for losing Luo Yang!"

Before Liu Xie opened his mouth, Liu Qing answered him first.

"Luoyang fell, the dignified son of heaven, wandering in the world, really guilty, your majesty, why don't you demote Dong Zhuo to Bingzhou pastor!"

Liu Xie still didn't have a clear understanding of the current situation, but the Empress Dowager had already seen the situation clearly, and quickly said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, the words of King Bohai are acceptable."

Liu Xie was still being hugged by Liu Qing, he looked at Dong Zhuo, imitating Liu Qing's tone and said: "The fall of Luoyang has caused me to be exiled in the world and damage the imperial prestige. Dong Zhuo is really guilty and demoted to Bingzhou Shepherd!"

"Dong Zhuo respectfully obeys the imperial edict!" After finishing speaking, he raised his head and said again: "Your Majesty, I'm going to be Bingzhou Shepherd, please Your Majesty choose another general."

Liu Xie looked at Dong Zhuo, then at the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager gave Liu Qing a wink, Liu Xie, who was brought up by her, immediately understood, and said timidly again: "Uncle Huang has accumulated a lot of credit, and now You have done a great job in rescuing him, and the great general's responsibility should be shouldered by the emperor's uncle."

Before Liu Qing could speak, Dong Zhuo spoke first: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The Empress Dowager also nodded, indicating that Liu Xie was right.

When Liu Qing heard this, he called Liu Xie sensible, immediately put him down, took a few steps back, bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the King of Bohai did not kneel down, the Empress Dowager's face changed slightly, but it was only a flash.

"Uncle Huang, you don't need to be polite." Liu Xie slightly raised his small hand, signaling Liu Qing to get up.

Liu Qing stood up, looked around at the crowd, and continued: "Take a rest in Wen County for a day, and escort your Majesty to Jizhou tomorrow."...

At this time, the Empress Dowager asked aloud: "I don't know when the general will set off to take back Luoyang."

"When did this king say he was going to take back Luoyang?" Liu Qing asked back.

"Then..." The Empress Dowager wanted to speak, but was blocked by Liu Qing's rebuttal.

"Feng Xiao, tell me." Liu Qing said.

Guo Jia took two steps forward and saluted everyone in the hall one by one, "Your Majesty, the Yuan family is capable, but Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, although they are called brothers, they seem to be at odds with each other. Yang succeeds, but Yuan Shao is lenient on the outside and jealous on the inside, he will definitely not tolerate it, and soon they will attack each other for power, and when both sides are exhausted, they will attack in one fell swoop, this is a plan of two tigers competing for food!"

"That's right, two tigers compete for food. I sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. If you don't move, you will be fine. If you move, you will act vigorously. It will be equal!" Liu Qing waved his big hand and said passionately.

The Empress Dowager is also sensible, so she naturally understands that this is a clever plan.

After resting for a while, Liu Qing approached Dong Zhuo later in the day, planning to arrange for him to go to Bingzhou to take up his post tomorrow.

Dong Zhuo came to the other courtyard where Liu Qing lived, but he was not alone, but brought his granddaughter Dong Bai.

"Zhongying, you are..."

Dong Zhuo led Dong Bai to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask for my humble position."

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Bingzhou is bitterly cold, and the conditions are not as good as in the Central Plains. I want my granddaughter Dong Bai to be with the king. First, to be a personal maid, and second, to prevent him from suffering with the humble."

Liu Qing glanced at Dong Bai who was kneeling on the ground, and said first: "Get up and talk."

Xiao Nizi supported Dong Zhuo to stand up. Although she was still young, she was as long as Dong Zhuo's chest. She was wearing a purple skirt with gold patterns embroidered on it. She was extremely noble, but Dong Bai's appearance was that of a cute and cute sister next door. Feng, wearing a nobile hairpin and a rich daughter with jewels on her chest, looks a little out of harmony, and Dong Zhuo's love for her can be seen from the side.

However, according to what Dong Zhuo meant, it was obvious that he wanted to entrust Dong Bai to himself.

What kind of personal maid is naturally a high EQ statement. With his identity as Dong Zhuo, can he let his favorite granddaughter be a maid?
Dong Zhuo's implication was naturally that he hoped that Liu Qing would accept her as his concubine.

It can be seen that Dong Bai's height is similar to that of Princess Wannian, and he is estimated to be in his early ten years. Even in the Han Dynasty, when the marriage age was very magical, Liu Qing felt that it was too outrageous.

In the Han Dynasty, if you don’t marry at fifteen, you will pay five times the tax. Most girls are married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

"Dong Bai's age..." Liu Qing raised his mouth, hoping that Dong Zhuo would understand.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he suddenly laughed: "Your Majesty, Xiaobai is already 12 years old, with a height of six feet, next year will be a very young age for marriage!"

Apparently, Liu Qing raised the age issue, and Dong Zhuo thought that Liu Qing would agree after solving the age issue.

Liu Qing frowned. His concubines were all married after their age. They were 13 years old. This is a new lower limit. In Liu Qing's opinion, this is too much punishment.

"Your Majesty, Xiaobai is obedient and obedient. He will definitely serve His Majesty well. I have nothing to worry about in my heart. If Xiaobai can be by Your Majesty's side, I will be at ease in Bingzhou!" Dong Zhuo said again.

If this king doesn't accept you, you won't be at ease, right?
Liu Qing could hear Dong Zhuo's tone of talking about conditions, maybe Liu Qing felt wrong, there was only Dong Bai between Dong Zhuo's loyalty and his determination. …

Liu Qing naturally chose the latter, and the future strategy of Bingzhou must expand to the north, and Dong Zhuo's identity will be of great use in foreign wars.

"Forget it, for the sake of Zhongying and the people of Bingzhou, I will accept Xiaobai, but not as a maid, but as a concubine." Liu Qing reluctantly said, thinking in his heart, it would be a big deal to raise her for a few more years Well.

Dong Zhuo's prudence succeeded, he immediately stopped pretending, and laughed on the spot: "Okay, Dong Bai, go and serve the king!"

Simply vulgar!
Fortunately, Dong Bai was still very reserved and shy, he moved up lightly with lotus steps, and bowed to Liu Qing again to salute, Liu Qing helped him up, "No need to be too polite!"

A blush appeared on Dong Bai's little face, but his eyes were still staring at Liu Qing boldly.

Still a loli, sin sin.

……

Luo Yang, at the mansion of General Hussars, Yuan Shu is quietly spying on the mysteries of Chuan Guo Yuxi in the study room. The deep and secluded texture has a certain magical power, which makes Yuan Shu's eyes unable to separate.

"My lord, please see Changshi." There was a message from outside the door.

"Please!" Yuan Shu replied without blinking.

Yang Hong went inside, greeted Yuan Shu, and said straight to the point: "My lord, why did you let Sun Jian go south?"

Yuan Shu said without hesitation, "Luo Yang is already in my hands, and Sun Jian is useless here. Why not let him go south to attack Liu Biao and cut his power!"

"Sun Polu has always been an ambitious man. If he gains a firm foothold in the south, he will become a serious trouble in the future!" Yang Hong said again.

When Yuan Shu first heard it, why did Yang Hong say this again? Sun Jian fought everywhere for him.

Wouldn't the word ambition be more appropriate when applied to oneself?
Yuan Shu said impatiently: "I have already thought about this matter carefully, so I don't need to say any more. By the way, is the emperor's whereabouts?"

Yang Hong shook his head, "We don't know yet, but my lord, Dong Zhuo's remnants have not been wiped out yet, but Han Sui led his army back to Hangu Pass. This matter is strange. Maybe there is something behind the lord's brother."

Yuan Shu raised his eyes and looked at Yang Hong.

After all, Han Sui's cooperation was negotiated by Yuan Shao, and Han Sui's cooperation with Yuan Shu was also Yuan Shao's order. who ordered it.

"Chang Shi said that Yuan Benchu ​​ordered him to retreat?" Yuan Shu asked.

"Other than that, who else is there? Yuan Benchu's battle with Liang Guo in Jiyin County ended in defeat, but Yuan Gong won the Luoyang Banner. If this matter is reported to Runan, Yuan Benchu's intentions may be difficult." Yang Hirodo.

"Hmph, be more confident. I'm afraid I will go. Yuan Benchu ​​will definitely be angry and feel that I have robbed him of the limelight. Haha, I'm afraid this time, those who support him should think carefully about whether to continue to support him, or to turn to him." Support me!"

Yuan Shu smiled, wrapped the jade seal, and said to Yang Hong: "Chang Shi, is there a way to drive Han Sui away from Hangu Pass, if he wants to gain a foothold in Luoyang, the three auxiliary areas must be under his control."

Yang Hong frowned in deep thought, and then said: "Mr. Yuan, I have a plan, which is to drive away tigers and wolves."...

Yuan Shu regained his energy immediately, and said, "Speak in detail!"

"Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army still has a lot of troops. Li Ru is cunning. If our army attacks by force, I'm afraid we will lose a lot. It's better to let go of the siege and let him flee west to Hangu Pass. If the only way out is Han Sui's , my lord, guess, will the Xiliang army attack the city desperately?"

"Haha, what a plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves!"

"Hangu is steep. If the Xiliang army breaks through Hangu Pass, it will definitely be severely injured, and it must continue to go deep into the pass to recuperate. We can take advantage of the situation to obtain Hangu Pass, and then send troops to pursue it, and we will wipe it out! At that time, Sanfu The land belongs to Yuan Gong, and the people of the three assistants are all grateful and support the lord!"

"Hahaha!" Yuan Shu's laughter gradually became crazy, "Head the order, order Ji Ling to act according to the plan, and let the Xiliang army go west!"

……

On the front line, Guo Si had just won an encounter, and the enemy's general was none other than General Yuan Shu, Ji Ling.

Guo Bang immediately brought the news back, saying that the west side had broken through the encirclement of Yuan Jun.

"Military division, the enemy has been defeated in the west, how about breaking through from the west?"

I thought that Li Ru would praise him for his great service, but Li Ru said: "The west is Hangu Pass. I am afraid that Ji Ling is a fraudulent defeat. If our army advances westward and Hangu is blocked, Then there will be no escape."

"Fake defeat?" Guo Si thought for a while, and suddenly said: "The military master said that, it seems that today's victory is really easier."

Li Ru thought for a while, and immediately ordered: "Guo Si, you lead the cavalry of your headquarters to pretend to go west for ten miles, then turn south and head for Xincheng."

"Decree!" Guo Si took the order and left.

Li Ru said to Wu Xi again, "General Wu, go and inform General Niu Fu to act together with our army!"

"Order!" Wu Xi also took the order and left.

Soon, Guo Bang's cavalry began to rush westward, but Ji Ling cooperated very well and did not stop them, but just moved westward.

After running for more than ten miles, the scouts suddenly came to report: Li Ru led the army to attack the southwest.

Ji Ling immediately understood that Li Ru did not march towards Hangu Pass as expected, but chose the south as the direction to break out of the encirclement, and his troops moved westward for more than ten miles, and the southwest encirclement naturally became the most vulnerable breakthrough site.

"After Zhang Xun took over from Sun Jian in the south, the strength of the defensive line has been greatly reduced. It must be impossible to effectively stop Li Ru. Send an order to rush to the southeast and stop Li Ru!" Ji Ling ordered.

However, when Ji Ling's army had just started, the rear army sent another military report.

"Report—General, the rear infantry was charged and killed by Guo Bang's cavalry."

"Li Ru is cunning, and he really deserves his reputation, first aid and then the army!" Ji Ling had no choice but to change the order.

I didn't expect that it wasn't me who led Guo Bang by the nose, but Guo Bang who led him by the nose. Of course, to be precise, it was Li Ru who led him by the nose.

When ordering support, Ji Ling did not forget to send someone to bring the news back to Luoyang and report it to Yuan Shu. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.

Wu Xi launched an attack to the southwest and encountered no resistance along the way. Among Yuan Shu's armies, Zhang Xun's army was relatively backward in strength. Without Ji Ling's support from the west, Zhang Xun's army could not stop it at all.

After traveling for more than ten miles, Zhang Xunjun was also left behind.

Li Ru and Niu Fu's cavalry walked side by side, discussing the next move, talking, inevitably talking about Dong Zhuo.

"Master Wen, where do you think Mr. Dong is now?" Niu Fu asked.

"We are in the west, and the lord is in the east. There is no news for a while. If the lord does not retake Hulao Pass, we should go to the south."

"I definitely didn't go back to Hulao. Hulao is occupied by the powerful allied forces of the gentry, and it's quite powerful. I came back here when I lost." Dong Zhuo originally asked Niu Fu to attack Hulao, but unfortunately he didn't go to Hulao, so he went to Hulao. Was beaten back to the west by the coalition forces.

"Alas..." Li Ru sighed, "Fortunately, the lord is fine now, otherwise, what would we do..."

"How did Mr. Wen first know that Mr. Dong is safe now?"

"Hehe, if Dong Zhuo was killed or captured, Yuan Jun would have already started persuading our army to surrender and shake the morale of our army."

Niu Fu nodded and learned again.

"Mr. Wen, where are we going?"

Li Ru took out the map, showed it to Niu Fu, pointed to a place and said, "This is the new city, which was originally occupied by Cheng Pu under Sun Jian's tent. Now that Sun Jian has gone south, I guess this city is empty."

Niu Fu smiled: "Our army should take advantage of the situation to occupy it and use it as a foothold!"
