Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Wouldn't it be better to come early than coincidentally?

Following the city gate decision, Liu Qing now has another choice.

If Yuan Shu is really in the Qiao Mansion, can he implement the tactics of capturing the thief and capturing the king, directly take down Yuan Shu, and then coerce Yuan Jun to surrender, so maybe he can avoid the bloodbath.

Liu Qing glanced back at the market calmly. There were many Yuan Jun standing nearby, looking at the horses and carriages curiously.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Zhou Ping walked into Liu Qing and said, "Please, distinguished guest!"

Liu Qing glanced at the gate of the mansion, ordered a few guards to follow him, and walked towards the mansion together with Zhou Ping.

Inside the gate of the mansion is a yard paved with blue stones, with a few trees planted here and there, as soon as Liu Qing entered the yard, he saw a group of Yuan soldiers coming out of the inner house.

The leader, dressed in bright brass armor and a breastplate with exquisite tiger-shaped patterns, was striding out, with an angry expression on his face, obviously something unpleasant had happened.

Zhou Ping consciously stood aside, and Liu Qing also subconsciously avoided, and began to look at the general carefully.

See clearly, unfortunately, Liu Qing was disappointed.

The so-called great general was not Yuan Shu, but Liang Gang.

Stamina 71, force 70, leadership 69, and the rank of a young general.

When Liang Gang passed by a few people, he also took a look at Liu Qing's face, as if he wanted to convey his anger, and Liu Qing and the others walked towards the inner house self-consciously.

In Qiao's inner house, with a "bang", an exquisite lacquer cup fell to the ground, and after spinning twice, it was slowly buckled on the ground.

"You are repaying the family? Calling a rough man to come to the mansion to act wildly. Although my Qiao family is just a businessman, unlike the Yuan family, which has a prestigious family and power, but I can't tolerate such a man as Liang Gang! "

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in the first seat, who was dressed gorgeously. He had a broad forehead and a big face. He looked very decent, but his face was very ugly at this time.

"Clan brother, calm down, Liang Gang is not some rough man. He is a general under Yuan Gong. Now, apart from Ji Ling and Zhang Xun, he and I are the highest in rank. How can I not match Wan'er!" Gang's similar military uniform, he replied loudly in the hall, obviously he didn't have much respect for the clan brother he was talking about.

When Qiao Shao heard this, he became even more angry. The Qiao family is not only a big family in Wan County, but even in Lujiang County, they also have a certain reputation. Although they don't have the political resources like the Yuan family, the Qiao family holds one side of the economy and is a real gentry. The family, his Qiao Shao's daughter, naturally had to match a real famous family, how could he betroth his daughter to a soldier.

And it's so rude to lead soldiers to ask for marriage!

"Anyway, I won't agree! If he has the ability, he will bring troops to slaughter our Qiao Clan. Look at you, aren't you a member of the Qiao Clan?" Qiao Shao scolded.

"It is precisely because I am a member of the Qiao clan that I am looking for a backer for the Qiao clan. Clan brother, in today's world, you cannot stand on money and food alone. You must have soldiers and horses! I advised you to establish a family trilogy, you Just don't listen!"

Qiao Shao glared at Qiao Rui. Why didn't he understand this truth? It's a pity that no family in Lujiang dared to do this, not even the Zhou family. They are definitely a noble family, but when it comes to soldiers and horses, they are still taken by Lu Kang. He was very precise.

Furthermore, it was actually Lu Kang who managed the Lujiang River in an orderly manner, with no banditry or civil unrest, and there was no need for the gentry to support the trilogy at all.

"Okay, needless to say, when Yuan Jun enters the city, the Qiao family is wise and wise, and the soldiers, horses, money and food can be subsidized in your name, but the Qiao family will never associate with Yuan Gonglu, this is the bottom line! What can be done, it is enough for Qiao Shi to find you, don't even think about getting my daughter!" Qiao Shao refused.

Qiao Rui thinks that Qiao Shao is really whimsical. At this time, he still can't see the situation clearly. Wan County has been taken over by the military, and even the position of county magistrate has been obediently given up. Since Qiao Shao still thinks that Qiao's family can survive alone, it's ridiculous.

"How is the ship preparation going?" Qiao Rui changed the subject.

"With so many people, it will take several days to dispatch." Qiao Shao replied indifferently.

At this time, a servant came in to announce that Zhou Ping had brought a distinguished guest.

Qiao Shao and Qiao Rui looked at each other, their expressions softened a bit, Qiao Rui found a seat by himself, and waited quietly for the distinguished guests to arrive, quarreling was quarreling, but the two still had the same stand on external matters.

Zhou Ping and Liu Qing entered the room, glanced at Qiao Rui, and then at Qiao Shao.

"Your honored guest, this is my host." Zhou Ping introduced, and then led to Qiao Rui, "This is General Qiao."

Qiao Shao, Qiao Rui, and Liu Qing have already read it by themselves.

"I've met Patriarch Qiao, I've met General Qiao!" Liu Qing saluted.

"Where did the guest come from?" Qiao Shao's first question.

"I came from Qinghe, Jizhou, and my family was somewhat related to King Ganling, so I got some horses. I heard that the price in the south was good, so I went all the way south." It's all true.

Qinghe County, King Ganling, and the sale to the south are all true.

After Liu Qing finished speaking, Zhou Ping looked at Liu Qing with some surprise.

Honorable guest, you didn't seem to say that when you were at the ferry!

When Qiao Rui heard that he was a horse dealer, he cheered up and asked, "How many horses do you have?"

Liu Qing turned to Qiao Rui and immediately smiled, "How many horses does the general need?"

"Naturally, the more the better! How much do you have!"

"I brought thousands, hundreds into the city." Liu Qing replied.

"How much is a horse?"

"If the general wants everything, it will be calculated as ten thousand dollars."

When Qiao Rui heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and even Qiao Shao, who was sitting in the first place, cast a strange look.

Qiao Shao couldn't help but interjected, "Your honored guest is sincerely selling horses? The southern horse is only three to five thousand yuan a horse, and even the northern horse is not more than eight thousand yuan. How can you sell it for ten thousand yuan?"

"Whether it's worth it or not, you can ask Brother Zhou Ping." Liu Qing laughed.

Zhou Ping was in charge of ferry work all the year round, so he naturally knew the price of horses, and he also knew the goods. Liu Qing lowered the price by tens of thousands of dollars.

Eight thousand yuan is an ordinary northern horse. Generally, the price of a good war horse is more than ten thousand yuan, and the horses ridden by Liu Qing's imperial guards are all top-quality war horses, selected from hundreds of thousands of horses. Yes, if you take out any horse, it is the existence of Baoju, especially if it is placed in the south, it is of the "collection" level.

Zhou Ping stepped forward and replied, "The hundreds of horses brought by the distinguished guest are the best among horses, and their value is definitely not less than ten thousand yuan."

Hearing what Zhou Ping said, Qiao Shao's expression became strange. It would cost millions of dollars to buy just a few hundred horses, and these horses would definitely fall into Qiao Rui's hands in the end.

Millions of dollars!
Qiao Rui didn't seem to care about the money issue at all, and was still thinking about what Zhou Ping said about the best horse in the world, "Zhou Ping, take me to have a look and see how the best horse is!"

Zhou Ping glanced at Liu Qing, and Liu Qing nodded, indicating that he could take a look.

Qiao Rui and Zhou Ping left, leaving only Liu Qing and Qiao Shao on the field.

"Guests, please sit down!" Qiao Shao said.

Liu Qing smiled, found a seat nearby and sat down, and said casually, "The Patriarch bought the war horse for Yuan Shu?"

When Qiao Shao heard it, he felt a little strange, and immediately denied it: "No, you have seen it too, but the brother of the clan wants to buy it, and I'm just a matchmaker for him."

The reason why Qiao Shao said this was that he didn't want these expensive horses in his heart, but in Liu Qing's ears, he felt that Qiao Shao was consciously separating from Qiao Rui.

"Not only that, it can be seen that the horse money must be paid by the owner of the house." Liu Qing said with a smile.

Qiao Shao stared at Liu Qing, his eyes sparkling, and he didn't give up half the time. He didn't answer and asked instead: "Your guest directly led the horse into the city, don't you worry about being taken away by Yuan Jun?"

Their eyes met, and at this moment, the two veterans who had experienced shopping malls wanted to see the sign of shrinking from each other's eyes, and Qiao Shao returned the question to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing felt that Qiao Shao had been taken advantage of.

Qiao Shao felt that Liu Qing was going to be prostituted for nothing!

The two looked at each other for a long time, then suddenly laughed.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the distinguished guest has such concentration at such a young age! He is truly a hero!" Qiao Shao praised.

This is a sincere admiration, because this is Qiao Shao's knot in his heart. If he has such a son, he will inherit his father's career, how wonderful it would be!
"Don't dare to do it!" Liu Qing said politely, and then made Qiao Shao's whole body tremble.

"Patriarch, don't worry, I brought horses here all the way from the north. There are not [-] people who covet horses on the way, but there are also [-]. Why don't I be good in front of the Patriarch?"

What do you mean?The implication is that those 8000 people are gone.

Qiao Shao has been in business for so long. I don’t know how many bandits and water thieves I have encountered. The losses in these years add up to an astronomical figure. And the horse merchants in front of me have come here from Jizhou. It's an understatement, and as far as he knows, there are still wars in many places in the north.

Just when Qiao Shao didn't know how to reply, Qiao Rui came back.

"Clan brother! What a horse, even if you look at Yuan Jun's entire army, you can't find a few of these war horses! And his horses are all top-quality! Buy them!" Qiao Rui yelled as he entered the hall.

Qiao Shao’s heart trembled when he bought it. It’s millions of dollars. Qiao Rui is a typical incompetent family who doesn’t know how expensive firewood and rice are. Five million dollars. If the government is still selling officials and nobles, this money is enough to buy a prince. Bit up.

You Qiaorui lived and died for Yuan Shu, can you have the position of Marquis?

In Qiao Shao's eyes, it was clear at a glance whether the deal was a loss or a gain.

But because of face, Qiao Shao couldn't refuse him face to face, and likewise, he couldn't promise Liu Qing face to face.

"There is a courtyard in the south of the city, which is now vacant. Guests can stay here temporarily. I will discuss with my brother about buying horses! Zhou Ping, lead the way for the guests!" Qiao Shao ordered.

Liu Qing bowed his hands and bid farewell, the other courtyard in the south of the city, is there such a good thing?

After Liu Qing left, the "foreign enemy" left, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled down.

"Qiao Rui, millions of dollars, just a few hundred horses, do you want to take over the entire Qiao family?"

The outsider is not here, Qiao Shao scolded unceremoniously.

Qiao Rui didn't expect that the clan brother would suddenly change his face and become so strong that he didn't know how to respond for a while. His theory that there are soldiers and horses to have money and food has encountered very real problems.

Now Qiao Shao's money and food are needed in exchange for soldiers and horses.

Seeing that Qiao Rui was silent, Qiao Shao said again: "Qiao Rui, do you know why this horse merchant brought such a good horse from Jizhou to Wanxian?"

Qiao Rui shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

"Confused! If it is an ordinary businessman, how can he keep it? Behind him, there must be a hero!"

Qiao Rui couldn't help but frowned, "Brother, what do you mean, he sells goods for spoils?"

As soon as this remark came out, Qiao Rui's mind exploded. If this identity is true, then it is from Jizhou and the background of King Ganling, then it is self-evident whose spoils it is.

"I have to come back first!" Qiao Rui left behind a sentence, and walked away.

Qiao Shao looked at Qiao Rui, who was in a panic, with a dignified expression.
-

Liu Qing and his party were led by Zhou Ping to the so-called Chengnan Bieyuan. This is indeed a large courtyard. It seems that the construction has not stopped, but the main body has been completely completed.

"Brother Zhou Ping, if you don't go back to the ferry, you can stay in this courtyard, it's very spacious!" Liu Qing laughed.

"That's exactly what I mean. I'm here. If you need anything, just ask the distinguished guest!" Zhou Ping understood that Qiao Shao asked him to take it with him because he was to take care of it.

Liu Qing smiled and said, "I don't dare to obey the order, but I do have a request."

Zhou Ping replied: "Please tell me, distinguished guest."

"My horses are priceless. I'm not familiar with Wanxian County, so I don't feel at ease. I remember you said that your brother is excellent in martial arts. I don't know if your brother needs to be on duty at night? If possible, I would like to pay a lot of money to hire him as a night guard! "

Hearing the word "heavy gold", Zhou Ping's eyes lit up, thinking in his mind, now that Yuan Jun has taken over the defense of the city and the city gate is closed, his brother is really free.

What a coincidence, isn't it!

"Yes, brother is not on duty at night, and now Yuan Jun is in charge of defense!" Zhou Ping replied quickly.

"Okay, it's a deal!" Liu Qing was delighted.

When Zhou Ping left, Guo Jia and the others were very curious.

"Patriarch, why are you so happy? Could it be that Zhou Ping's brother, what kind of genius is he?" Guo Jia asked.

"Feng Xiao wait, and look at my eyes!"

Liu Qing's vision has always been open, and Guo Jia knows this.

"Patriarch, I looked at Zhou Ping, and he was a bit brave. Don't you want to take it for your own use?"

Liu Qing was seen through by several staff, and said with a smile: "Such a strong man, how can we sit and watch him go to waste in the chores at the ferry?"

It's a waste!And waste is shameful and criminal!
Everyone laughed together, looking forward to the so-called brother Zhou Ping.

Successfully infiltrated into Wan County, the smoothness of this matter was far beyond Liu Qing's imagination. Next, Liu Qing summoned a dozen commanders of the imperial guards and told them about his plan to break the city.

Before entering the city, Liu Qing sent Li Shui to leave the army to inform Dian Wei and Lu Bu, ordering them to approach the south gate of Wan County at night, under the sign of fire.

And Liu Qing planned to raid the south gate at night, and cooperated with Dianwei Lubri to help them break into the city.

Everything is ready, just waiting for nightfall.

In the evening, Zhou Ping returned to the other courtyard again. This time, he was not alone, and a man in black followed behind him.

When the two of them appeared in front of Liu Qing, Liu Qing ignored Zhou Ping and began to scrutinize the man in black.

Compared with Zhou Ping, he is not tall, about the same as Liu Qing, dressed in black, with black hair tied on his head, with a short beard, and a resolute expression on his face.

Obviously not as strong as Zhou Ping, but his face and demeanor gave people the feeling that he was far more reliable than Zhou Ping.

Everything went as Liu Qing expected, Zhou Ping's brother is Zhou Tai! ——
