Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Yuan Shao left Huang Wan and moved towards the "Imperial Palace" in the city.

The distance between the two places is not very far, and they arrived in two quarters of an hour.

And half an hour after Yuan Shao withdrew from the Yuan Mansion, Dian Wei's tiger guards finally rushed to the gate of the Yuan Mansion.

Looking at the majestic lintel, the door is open, but the Yuan Mansion is empty inside.

"No way, let that boy Yuan Shao slip away!" Dian Wei scolded.

As soon as he jumped off the horse, he ran into the gate of the mansion in a few steps. As far as he could see, he didn't see a single person, but there were many traces of people fleeing.

Dian Wei threw his iron halberd on the ground and said angrily, "Is Yuan Shao a tortoise? He runs so fast every time!"

However, according to the usual practice, Dian Wei still ordered the tiger guards to go in and search, in order to find the fish that slipped through the net, or something useful.

After some searching by Huwei, they found Huang Wan without any trouble.

When the soldiers broke in, Huang Wan was still burying his head in his book. He only took one look at the huge movement, and recognized that it was not Yuan Jun, so he knew it well, so he identified himself.

"The last general, Dian Wei, has seen Huangzhou Mu!" Dian Wei saluted respectfully.

Huang Wan looked at Dian Wei with a smile, "There is no need to be polite, General Dian Wei was famous all over the world with the King of Bohai at a young age. Today I saw him, he is indeed mighty and majestic, worthy of the name of Tiger General!"

"The state shepherd has won the award, why is the state shepherd in Yuan's mansion?" Dian Wei asked.

"Hmph, why else? Yuan Benchu ​​wanted to put me under house arrest from time to time. Where is he now? Have you ever caught me?"

"Yuan Shao escaped." Dian Wei said.

"It should be retreating to the palace. Yuan Benchu ​​has made a lot of preparations in Ruyang, and he will not give up so easily." Huang Wan said, then asked: "Where is the King of Bohai?"

"My lord should be at the city gate with Mr. Xu Fu. I'll take the envoy to find it!"

"Thank you General!"

Although Huang Wan was tall and old, she had no shortage of etiquette.

But when the two returned to the southeast gate, they were told that Liu Qing had gone to the south gate.

So he went to the south gate again.

Liu Qing was discussing the situation of the battle with Gao Shun. After fighting for several hours at the south gate, Yuan Jun was not completely repulsed, and there were cavalry supporting him. One reason is that they are fully prepared, and Yuan Jun's fighting will is not weak, because they know that Yuan Shao is still in the city.

Seeing Huang Wan's arrival, Liu Qing and Xu Shu rushed to salute, as if they were juniors saluting their elders.

The second is to thank Huang Wan on behalf of the soldiers. According to Liu Qing's original deployment, it must be one city at a time, step by step in front of Yuan Shao. That kind of protracted battle, no matter it is the most basic food and grass , or both offensive and defensive investment resources are huge consumption.

This is undoubtedly worse for the already poor national conditions.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Huang Wan also bowed to Liu Qing.

"The Battle of Ruyang can lead to this situation, Huang Shijun has contributed a lot, and this king must play the role of the emperor to show his merits!" Liu Qing first said the polite words, and then mentioned Huang Wan himself.

"Your Shijun was not embarrassed by Yuan Shao, right?"

"Yuan Benchu ​​didn't dare to do anything to me. After all, he still wants to gain a foothold among the gentry. Alas, why did he end up here?"

From Huang Wan's tone, Liu Qing could hear disdain, regret, and hate that iron can't be made into steel. If he works hard, with Yuan Benchu's ability, he can naturally achieve a career.

But the career is not as attractive as the great cause after all, or for the children of the Yuan family, the career line has long since come to an end, so what if it is the end, but if they follow the old path of their ancestors, if the descendants are powerless, there will be no four generations, three generations, five generations. What's the use of Wu Gong's name?

So the two brothers went to the road of hegemony in the same way, but it is a pity that the winner is the king and the loser, and they lost in history, and they still lose now.

"Please don't be annoyed, instead of talking about Yuan Shao's son, why not talk to me about the people in Runan. How have they been doing well in the past few years?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the weather in Runan has been good for several years. After the Yellow Turban was settled, there was no disaster. Therefore, the people's food and clothing are considered safe. The Yuan family originally occupied a lot of land, but more than a year ago, he suddenly recruited refugees and distributed the land to Most of the income from his cultivation belongs to the Yuan family, and a small part is kept by him, which is enough for him to survive. The counties in Runan processed according to the law, and with the construction of water conservancy, the grain output has always been very high."

Liu Qing was amazed, this Yuan Shao learned his housekeeping skills.

It turned out that he not only learned his own way of running the army and building elites, he even learned production relations. Fortunately, he was not given enough time to develop.

Liu Qing's strike speed was definitely unexpected for Yuan Shao. In addition, Yuan Shao himself attacked himself many times. Therefore, although Yuan Shao is not far behind Liu Qing in terms of grain, grass and weapons, he is not far behind in the combat effectiveness of soldiers. , it is far from Liu Qing's soldiers and horses.

Liu Qing's soldiers and horses are getting more victorious as they fight, and the more victorious they become, the more courageous they are. They are more than enough for recruits like Yuan Jun who haven't been trained for a long time.

However, after listening to Huang Wan's introduction, Liu Qing knew that Yuan Shao was actually a heinous person from time to time. At least he treated the people kindly, or it was not out of his benevolence, but just a kind of use of the people. The people can live comfortably. The achievement of the first effect has the credit of Huang Wan, but the credit of Yuan Shao is also indelible.

Of course, compared with his treasonous sin, his trivial merits are nothing to mention.

"My lord, do you know what the current situation is in Chen Guo?"

Huang Wan replied: "Your Majesty, why don't I go to Chen Guo once, if Liu Chong can listen to my advice and make things right, my lord may save his life."

"So that you are sure to persuade King Chen?"

"Let me try it. Liu Chong had no such intention at the beginning, but Yuan Shao forced him to take the throne. If he can take the initiative to correct it, the lord can live on his name."

"This king has said something beforehand. If Chen Wang is willing to set things right, this king can spare his life, but his hereditary title will be permanently deprived."

Huang Wan had no objection, and after accepting the order, she resigned and left.

Liu Qing looked at the top of the city again, and the fierce battle above was still going on. It seemed fierce, but in fact there was not much room for the trapped camp to use it. This was the reason for the slow progress of the siege.

Because Yuan Jun is also self-defense with armor, which can be said to be well-equipped, and most of the camps are single-handed attacks, and the strength is not great.

Therefore, the battle between the two sides seemed fierce, but in fact the casualties were limited.

Liu Qing obviously couldn't stand it anymore.

"Dian Wei." Liu Qing called softly.

"The end is here!"

"Help the camp and bring the guards." Liu Qing specially emphasized that bringing the guards, not the tiger guards.

"Decree!" Dian Wei yelled, and with a wave of hands, a group of imperial guards dismounted neatly and followed in unison.

Dian Wei held a pair of halberds and strode forward. Gao Shun also gave an order in time. Seeing this, the soldiers of the trapped camp moved out of the way one after another, and finally a ladder was vacated.

Dian Wei looked up, and at this time there was still something falling from above, maybe stones and wood, or torches and arrows.

Dian Wei stepped up the tens of steps of the city-climbing ladder in four or five steps. The first moment he poked his head out, it seemed that Yuan Jun had premeditated and smashed down a stone.

Dian Wei couldn't help saying, he swung his halberd, several sparks shot out, the stone was broken into several large pieces, among which there were countless small pieces, which flew back at an extremely fast speed like a flowing arrow, and the broken stones crackled and hit the countenance. On Yuan Jun's body, some fragments hit the face, eyes and other vital parts directly, causing them to hug their heads and scream in pain.

Dian Wei did not hesitate at all, and aimed his other halberd at the Yuan Jun on the top of the wall, and swept it towards the most vulnerable neck.

The crescent halberd easily sliced ​​through Yuan Jun's protection, like cutting off a section of newly grown twigs, one after another.

With one blow, the five heads were carried away by the inertia, the blood spilled into the sky, and a strong blood energy immediately spread out, covering up the smoky smell in the air.

The sudden attack not only stunned the soldiers of Yuan Jun, but also made the soldiers trapped in the camp extremely excited.

This is General Dian Wei!
It is rumored that he is one of the top combat forces under King Bohai!

Dian Wei jumped and landed on the position of these five people, and all the soldiers who were trapped in the battle shouted: "General Dian Wei is brave!"

"General Dian Wei is invincible!"

After the start of the five kills, Dian Wei did not hesitate at all, and swung his two halberds continuously, but each swing had a method to follow, and it happened to hit such a fragile part of Yuan Jun's neck.

With his own strength, Dian Wei managed to carve out a foothold in the crowded city.

The soldiers trapped in the battle continued to shout, and at the same time brandished the single knife in their hands, with stronger strength, they couldn't help but strengthened a bit.

On the other hand, Yuan Jun, under Dian Wei's unreasonable attack, suffered a double shock both physically and mentally. In their eyes, the attack shown by Dian Wei was no longer something they could continue.

The imperial guards followed Dian Wei closely, with iron spears one after another, without any explanation, they stabbed towards Yuan Jun swiftly and violently.

Among Yuan Jun, there were also many spearmen, sticking their guns outward, trying to force the imperial guards back, but the imperial guards were dressed in heavy armor, ignoring those threats, and thrust at Yuan Jun.

Moreover, the movement was extremely fast, several insertions and extractions were completed in a few moments, and those who were attacked by its strength all had their breastplates ruptured and died on the spot.

With the force of the imperial guards, the accelerated iron guns that can penetrate armor are more than enough to deal with Yuan Jun, but as more and more imperial guards join in, the offensive and defensive momentum at the top of the city has quietly changed.

Originally, Yuan Jun relied on the superiority of numbers and wasted a stalemate with the trapped camp, but when Dian Wei and the imperial guards came, this balance was instantly broken.

After a while, Dian Wei and the imperial guards not only gained a firm foothold at the top of the city, but also a large number of camps joined them to further consolidate the front line.

Seeing that the position at the top of the city was about to be lost, Yuan Jun's general Sui Yuanjin was in a hurry, and quickly continued to order Yuan Jun to rush to the top of the city and retake the top of the city.

However, the defense line established by the imperial guards cannot be shaken by Yuan Jun, not to mention that there is a Dian Wei among the imperial guards.

Not only could it not be shaken at all, but the speed at which the imperial guards advanced did not slow down at all.

"My lord's officers and soldiers are unstoppable. When I saw you today, they really lived up to their reputation!"

Xu Shu saw that Dian Wei opened up the situation as soon as he led the guards, and while approving in his heart, he couldn't help but praise him.

"In my opinion, it's just average, it's because Yuan Jun is too watery."

Master of Versailles Liu Qing said casually.

Upon hearing this, the serious Gao Shun quit on the spot. If Yuan Jun is too stupid, then I am stuck in the camp and have been stalemate for so long, isn't it also too stupid?

Gao Shun quickly corrected him: "My lord, Yuan Jun in Ruyang has much higher equipment and morale than before. The guards are brave and invincible!"

Liu Qing smiled and didn't speak, but turned around and walked towards his horse.

The outcome of the battle is already predictable, but the final victory will take time. Liu Qing is in a good mood and plans to return to the camp to make up for it. He hasn't slept well recently.

"Yuanzhi, you've been busy all night, take the part and come back to the camp with me to rest."

"Thank you, my lord!" Xu Shu quickly thanked.

As soon as Liu Qing returned to the camp, a soldier handed over the letter.

"My lord, the letter from Nanyang."

Liu Qing looked at the soldiers wrapped in thick cotton clothes and asked, "Where are you from?"

"Return to my lord, come from Luoyang."

It was a letter from Nanyang, sent to Luoyang, and then transferred from Luoyang.

Liu Qing opened the letter and found two letters inside, one was the original letter and the other was written by Tian Feng.

As Liu Qing's spokesperson in Luoyang, Tian Feng has the right to check important letters so as not to delay important matters. Generally speaking, he will only forward the letters for matters that Tian Feng can handle, and when encountering problems that cannot be resolved That's why it happened, I also brought a letter with me, and attached some of my own opinions.

The Nanyang letter was naturally written by Jia Xu, but when Liu Qing saw the contents of the letter, his expression changed.

Even Xu Shu was surprised when he could change King Bohai's face.

"My lord, what happened to Nanyang?"

"Nanyang, Shunyang, Nanxiang and other counties have suffered major epidemics. It is said that tens of thousands of people have died."

Xu Shu's face changed immediately. He naturally knew the horror of the epidemic. A few years ago, it happened once in Yingchuan, and many people died.

Liu Qing looked at Tian Fengzhi's letter again. He first told Jia Xu the preventive method. This preventive method was requested by Liu Qing, such as drinking boiled water, burying the dead in time, and the dead without restraint. , must be cremated, and then buried and so on.

In addition, to support some doctors, medicines and food, Tian Feng thought of everything that Liu Qing could think of, and Tian Feng also thought of what Liu Qing didn't think of, and he spent a lot of money, as if he knew that Liu Qing would not do this kind of thing saving.

Regarding the reasons for the outbreak of the epidemic in Shunyang and Nanxiang, Jia Xu also introduced that Nanyang had been fighting for years, especially in these two areas, where Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao fought, and there were many casualties.

These days, not everyone is like Liu Qing. Every time he cleans the battlefield, he puts the corpses of both the enemy and us in good condition.

Others usually do too, but not always.

Of course, the so-called plague is not necessarily the plague of the dead, but more likely it is typhoid fever.

Because Liu Qing knows that this winter is extremely cold, and a fierce struggle for survival has broken out in the grassland. Under Liu Qing's rule, he took precautions first, and there were no major problems. However, Nanyang is different. Jia Xu, the sheriff, may not be qualified at this time. .

The cold air went south to Nanyang, and the war-torn counties such as Shunyang Nanxiang were more prone to mass typhoid fever incidents.

When mentioning this, Liu Qing thought of Zhang Ji, but the world is so big, where can he find it? At this time, Zhang Ji may be struggling to find a cure for typhoid and miscellaneous diseases. At this time, Liu Qing can provide Great help.

Liu Qing knew that the weather in the next few years would get colder and colder, and the problems of epidemics would only increase.

If Zhang Ji can be helped to overcome difficulties as soon as possible, the people who can be saved will not be just tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

"Li Shui, hurry back to Luoyang with the king's password, and ask the emperor to ask for the imperial list. The list will be distributed to all counties and towns across the country. Don't miss one place. Find someone named Zhang Zhongjing!"
