Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

"Soldiers? Where did they come from?" Qiao Shao asked puzzled.

At this time, the silent Qiao Rui just said: "It's the King of Bohai's soldiers. General Liang and I wanted to leave the city last night, but we didn't expect that the four gates of Wanxian County were already occupied by the King of Bohai. We had no choice but to hide in the bridge house."

Although the Qiao family's house could not be compared with the city wall, it was much stronger than the wooden fence of the camp, especially the outermost courtyard wall, which was originally built to prevent thieves from stealing property, so it was built extremely high and was just used for garrisoning.

Another reason why Qiao Rui chose this place is that the Qiao family has plenty of food and grass. If they can guard the walls of the hospital, they will not have to worry about food and grass at all.

Qiao Shao naturally knew the name of the King of Bohai, and at the same time, he also knew that if he shielded Qiao Rui and Liang Gang, the Qiao family might be doomed.

However, now that the two generals have led the army to occupy them, it is naturally impossible for Qiao Shao to persuade them with a few words, not even his younger brother Qiao Rui. As for the husband Liang Gang, it may be even more difficult.

"Qiao Rui, do you know that this move will bring disaster to the entire Qiao family, not only you and me, but also the elders, children, and vassals of the Qiao family. My Qiao family has a huge property, with tens of thousands of tenants and employees, what do you want? Think it over!" Qiao Shao tried to persuade Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui replied: "At this point, there is no other way! Didn't you hear that they have already surrounded the other courtyard!"

At this time, a Yuan Jun from outside rushed in and said, "General Qiao, General Liang called you over to discuss countermeasures!"

Just as Qiao Rui was about to leave, Qiao Shao chased after him and said, "Qiao Rui, Yuan Shu has already abandoned you and left. I heard that the king of Bohai is unparalleled in righteousness and righteousness. Why don't you surrender!"

When Qiao Rui heard this, he immediately vetoed it: "Liu Qing has come from a long way, the food and grass will not last long, don't worry, brother, we only need to wait for more than a month, then the King of Bohai will probably retreat when the food is exhausted."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Rui left, and Qiao Shao shook his head helplessly.

Will the King of Bohai run out of food?What a big joke, he is so popular among the people, he has to worry about food and grass wherever he goes, and thinking of the battle that is about to start, Qiao Shao has a headache.

Could it be that Qiao's foundation is about to be ruined in his hands?

Qiao Shao suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting that he hadn't listened to Qiao Rui's words and formed some of Qiao's own melodies, so that the entire Qiao family would not be coerced by Qiao Rui and Liang Gang.

"Hey..." A long sigh.

In the back residence of the Qiao family, there is a quiet pond, and beside the pond, stands a white figure.

Tall and tall, his eyes are looking at the slight waves of the pool water, like autumn water, his muscles are like ice and snow, his face is like the first frost, and his face is absolutely beautiful.

Just staring at this bleak pool scene, the worry in the beautiful eyes is full, which makes people feel pity.

The cold wind was blowing, the white skirt moved slightly, and the black hair on her forehead was also disturbing, disturbing her thoughts.

She has already learned about the current situation at home.

"elder sister!"

A delicate and loud voice came from behind, and a woman in yellow clothes jumped up to Qiao Wan's side, grabbed his arm and hugged him.

"I heard that the bad Liang Gang is here again, and he is bringing soldiers. Is he going to rob my sister!"

Although Qiao Shuang's footsteps were light and her voice was agile, her words still revealed deep concern for her sister.

Qiao Wan struggled for her arm, but failed, she could feel the abnormal touch in Shuang'er's arms through her clothes, and Qiao Shuang had already turned into a girl now. …

It's just that she is a head shorter than her sister.

"Sister, what should I do?" Qiao Shuang tied her sister's hand tightly.

"Daddy has always loved us very much. We can say no to other things, but we have to listen to Daddy about this matter."

My sister was full of reasoning, but she was so sad that she couldn't explain it to her sister, and she even tried to persuade her sister: don't worry, my sister is fine.

"I just heard from the servant girl that many soldiers have come outside. They are called Wang, sister. The one named Liang is here for you. Could this one named Wang be here for me?" Qiao Shuang asked.

Qiao Wan caressed her younger sister's head with the other hand, smoothing out the hair that was blown by the wind, and said in a gentle tone, "Sister, don't be afraid, in this troubled world, there is no one who is so easy to get along with, maybe this surname Wang’s is here to beat someone surnamed Liang!”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Shuang's eyes lit up, "It's better to fight and hurt both, and both flee in embarrassment!"

Qiao Shuang held her small fist and bared her little tiger teeth and said.

She comforted Qiao Shuang with her mouth, but Qiao Wan had her own plans in her heart. She had been thinking for a long time just now, looking at her younger sister who was already sensible but not very sensible, and thinking about the difficulty of her father, Qiao Wan gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
-

Liu Qing looked at the closed gate of the Qiao Mansion. Behind the courtyard wall, there were many spears and banners.

It's just that there was no movement.

"My lord, do you want to attack by force?" Lu Bu asked Liu Qing for instructions, holding a painting halberd and a war horse restlessly raising its hooves.

However, Liu Qing glanced at the magistrate of Wan County beside him, seeing that he had come early.

"It seems that this king's face is not big enough, that Qiao Shao didn't even show his face."

Lu Ji, the county magistrate of Wan County, replied repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Qiao Shao is a kind man. It is estimated that he has been held hostage by thieves, so it is difficult to show his face."

However, as soon as magistrate Lu finished speaking, he slapped him in the face at the speed of light.

The small door suddenly creaked, a figure walked out, and then the small door closed again immediately.

The person who went out was Qiao Shao.

Liu Qing rode forward and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a day, does Patriarch Qiao still recognize me?"

Qiao Shao squinted at Liu Qing, as if he was trying to identify him. Of course, he would not be able to contact any merchants with golden horses and armor, but from Liu Qing's eyebrows, he also recognized that Liu Qing was yesterday's horse dealer.

"You...how could..." Qiao Shao turned pale with shock, "So you are the King of Bohai? The old man is blind."

"Not only are you blind, you are blind!" Lu Ji scolded in public, "Talk about what the Qiao family did to station troops inside!"

While counting, Lu Ji walked forward, winking, as if reminding Qiao Shao.

The two stood facing each other, and when they got closer, Lu Ji asked softly, "What's the situation in the mansion?"

"Yuan Jun has occupied the entire front house and the gates of various mansions, and the inner house is also patrolled by soldiers. Qiao Rui intends to hold on for several months until the King of Bohai retreats."

"Confused! No matter how big your bridge's granary is, it can be bigger than the entire Lujiang County? The prefect Lu has now fully supported the king of Bohai. The soldiers, horses, food, supplies, and even the life of the county king in the counties of Lujiang belong to Bohai. The king! You will be the ones who are desperate for food, and the only way to save the Qiao family is to surrender!" Lu Ji shouted.

Hearing the county magistrate's words, Qiao Shao couldn't help but feel gloomy again. He knew in his heart that it was impossible to run out of food, because the treasury had enough food and grass for Yuan Jun to spend for several years. If he saved more, it might take longer. No matter what, it is impossible for the Qiao family to support that step, maybe the entire Qiao family has been trampled down by the King of Bohai long ago. …

In this way, what the Qiao family faces is the disaster of destroying the family anyway.

Qiao Shao glanced sideways at the King of Bohai. Now that things have happened, he can only use his daughter's idea as a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

He cast a thankful look at his old friend of the county magistrate, then walked up to Liu Qing and saluted solemnly.

"Caomin Qiaoshao, pay homage to the king!"

"Qiao Shao, this king asked you, but Qiao Rui and Liang Gang took you hostage? Taking this house by force?" Liu Qing asked.

Qiao Shao was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Qiao Rui was also bewitched by Liang Gang, I will persuade him to submit to Your Majesty again!"

Liu Qing didn't expect that at this time, Qiao Shao still wanted to keep Qiao Rui. In this regard, he was like a patriarch, but as Magistrate Lu said, he was a little blind.

Probably because he didn't know what Qiao Rui did last night, otherwise, he probably wouldn't be so calm to intercede for Qiao Rui. In his heart, Qiao Rui was a member of the Qiao Clan after all.

"Oh? How sure are you?" Liu Qing asked.

When Qiao Shao thought of Qiao Rui's stubborn temper, he said conservatively, "Thirty percent."

"Patriarch Qiao, you are also an old businessman. You are only [-]% sure about this, but you can't convince me."

"Since Qiao is a merchant, he is willing to make a big bet for this [-]% chance!"

"The king only needs to give an order, and the army will immediately flatten the bridge mansion, and the goal of the king can also be achieved. Why wait for this [-]% chance!"

Qiao Shao's heart skipped a beat, and he knew it was time to speak out Qiao Wan's words. Facing the crisis of Qiao's life and death, Qiao Wan made a statement. For Qiao, this matter was both a life-and-death crisis and a great opportunity.

Qiao Shao replied: "It is said that the king likes beauty, loves fragrance and cherishes jade. Today, in front of the king, Qiao dared to speak out. Is this true?"

Qiao Shao gritted his teeth and said the words, but cold sweat broke out on his back. The daughter's provocative words were said at the risk of beheading.

"Qiao Shao! You're crazy!" Lu Ji yelled. To the king, this was disrespectful, offensive, and degrading. He never expected his old friend to go crazy.

Liu Qing couldn't help being curious, what did Qiao Shao mean by that?Could it be... Two beautiful images appeared in Liu Qing's mind.

"This is a rumor! How can this king be like the rumors!"

"Ah, it's a pity, the family is in a catastrophe, and my two daughters are about to perish!"

Qiao Shao's words really confirmed Liu Qing's conjecture.

Can Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao be married to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu? Can they be women from ordinary families? Historically, after Sun Ce broke through Wan County, he took Da Qiao as his concubine. It doesn't matter, after all, property is such a thing, directly occupying it and taking it for one's own use has completely different effects.

"Patriarch Qiao is mistaken. It is just a rumor that this king is sympathetic to women and jade. This king is only lustful. I am a fair lady and a gentleman loves sex. This is human nature. This king will do his best to act honestly and never hide his flaws!"

When Liu Qing said this, he was a little bit desperate, thinking in his heart, it turned out that Qiao Shao was really blind from time to time.

It's so accurate!

The frank words of the King of Bohai made Qiao Shao a little speechless, and he had never seen such a fresh and refined expression of lust in his life.

Things are developing as described by his daughter. Qiao Shao knows that he can no longer hesitate. its scourge. …

Qiao Shao quickly said: "If the king can give Xiaomin three days to persuade Qiao Rui to surrender, the little girl will serve the general, and all the wealth of Xiaomin's family will belong to the king!"

This is undoubtedly a gamble, Qiao Wan told him that in the current situation, it is an established fact that Qiao's lost everything, but if he volunteered, there might be a turning point.

Qiao's business is quite deep in the field of river transportation. The King of Bohai may not know the value of Qiao's. In the future, when the Bohai King wants to conquer Yangzhou, what he needs most is to transport troops, horses, grain and grass across the river. Qiao's can just make up for this demand.

Volunteering to give everything may win the benevolence of the King of Bohai, and continue to hand over the Qiao family's foundation to the Qiao family, and she, the woman who became the King of Bohai, can become a reliance of the Qiao family, maybe relying on the big tree of the King of Bohai. Tree, Qiaoshi can go further than before.

This is where a great crisis breeds a great opportunity.

"Three days, thirty percent, Patriarch Qiao is really a formidable businessman. I can accept your proposal, but I will only give you one day! Moreover, the daughter you mentioned is not one, but a pair!"

Qiao Shao's eyelids twitched, this Bohai King is a profiteer, right?It's not a rumor that he bargained so hard, and that he was lustful, but he was still thinking about Qiao Shuang.

But this is the best result that can be achieved.

"Your Majesty!" Qiao Shao bowed back.

A day is a day, and Liu Qing has his own plans for the Qiao family.

Bullying men and women and occupying other people's property is too low-level. What Liu Qing wants is to make the industry more prosperous. The Qiao family has this foundation and talent, and Liu Qing doesn't mind giving them a chance.

It's not for the bridge to lie on the waves, but the small bridge to flow.

As for jumping clowns like Liang Gangqiaorui, they just shoot him to death, just live one more day.

Liu Qing did what he said, and in addition to leaving behind the vigilant manpower, Liu Qing led the army to retreat, which also relieved the soldiers who had been up all night.

In Qiao's mansion, Qiao Shao went back.

"General, King Bohai's troops have really withdrawn!" Yuan Jun, who leaned out of the wall, reported.

Qiao Rui took a deep look at Brother Cong, and defeated the enemy with his own strength, and his brother actually did it!
"Brother, how did you convince King Bohai?" Qiao Rui asked.

Qiao Shao glanced at Liang Gang, obviously not treating him as one of his own, and went back to the house on his own.

You sent troops to occupy my house, and I still want to show you a good face?
Regarding this, Liang Gang could only grunt twice, Qiao Rui still had to give her face, after all, this was the Qiao family's mansion.

Qiao Rui followed Qiao Shao, asking questions all the way.

"Brother, you are talking!"

Qiao Shao stood still and turned back, impatiently said: "What else can you do, you don't listen to me, you said you quit Bohai King today, what will you do tomorrow, what will you do the day after tomorrow, I can say quit once, how can I say quit again and again! "

After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Qiao Rui was left alone in a mess in the wind.

I thought: the king of Bohai retreated today, what about tomorrow?What about the day after tomorrow?
"Hey!" Qiao Rui sighed, "It's not worthless to win this day!"

At least they entered the house with the front foot, and the Queen of Bohai attacked with the back foot. They were not prepared at all. If there is a day's buffer, they can discuss with General Liang how to defend.

Qiao Shao went straight to the back house to meet Qiao Wan, and the daughter was also relieved to see her father return.

"Father, how is it?"

"The King of Bohai agreed to give me a day to persuade Qiao Rui, but I think Qiao Rui is beyond reason!"

"Really? King Bohai really agreed?" Qiao Wan's eyes showed surprise.

"It's only been a day, why should my daughter be happy?"

"Father, don't worry, since the King of Bohai agreed to give it for a day, it means that the Qiao family is valuable in his heart. Even if he attacks and breaks through the house, your deal with him will still be fulfilled."

"Is it still possible?"

Qiao Wan nodded, and while she was relieved, she also knew her fate.

She asked timidly, "Father, what does the King of Bohai look like?"
