Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 486 The Change of Hanzhong

Xun Cai stood facing the door, slightly hooked his body, and smiled at Liu Qing.

Liu Qing quickened his pace and led Cai Yan into the room a few steps. The two of them respectively helped Xun Cai from the hand of the maid and put him on the soft couch.

"It's just a few steps, so you can't wait any longer." Liu Qing pretended to blame.

"The great king is here, I'm glad!" Xun Cai smiled and nodded at Cai Yan at the same time to show respect.

"My husband returned to the mansion, but he didn't stop for a moment, so he came to your other courtyard." Cai Yan laughed.

Xun Cai glanced at Liu Qing with charming eyes, couldn't hide a smile on his face, but said: "Didn't I go to my sister first."

There was a sour smell in the air, Liu Qing said with a smile, "I'm curious, how would you get along if I wasn't here?"

As soon as this remark came out, Xun Cai immediately turned around, snatched Cai Yan's hand from Liu Qing's, held it affectionately, and replied, "Of course my sister is with me."

Cai Yan also smiled helplessly.

Xun Cai likes to move, and she likes to be quiet. The two of them are not on the same side, so naturally they will not be as close as they do.

Seeing the two wives supporting each other, Liu Qing pretended to be angry and said, "Then let your sister accompany you, and I will go to see other concubines."

As he spoke, Liu Qing pretended to leave, but before he took two steps, he was pulled back by someone, it turned out to be Cai Yan.

"Husband stay here to talk with Cai'er, I'll go prepare the dinner." Cai Yan said goodbye to the two of them.

In this way, it becomes Liu Qing and Xun Cai. Liu Qing praises Cai Yan's clear mind in his heart. In this way, Liu Qing seems to be brought by her. It doesn't exist anymore, Cai Yan is taking a step back, the sea and the sky are brighter.

Looking at the bulging belly, Liu Qing put his ear up to listen curiously, making Xun Cai laugh out loud.

"My little princess seems to be moving!" Liu Qing said in surprise.

When Xun Cai heard this, he immediately became unhappy, "Obviously he is a little prince, why does the king say he is a little princess?"

Xun Cai wanted to have a son the most.

"My king likes daughters! How cute are daughters!" Liu Qing laughed.

"I don't care, I'm going to have a son!" Xun Cai said.

Liu Qing got up, stretched out his hand and rubbed Xun Cai's head, and said fondly, "I like both boys and girls! However, if it's a girl, I like it even more!"

Xun Cai still refused, and shouted: "It's a son, a son, a son!"

In fact, Liu Qing is not old-fashioned, and the concept of passing on the family line is not deep.

Moreover, Liu Qing showed that he liked his daughter. When Xun Cai was disappointed because he really gave birth to a daughter, Liu Qing's love would become a kind of comfort.

If Xun Cai fulfills his wish and gives birth to a son, everyone will be happy.

"I went back to Yingchuan this time and met your brother Xun Yan. Now, he is also working under my command."

"Oh? What kind of official did your Majesty appoint Brother Xiuruo?" Xun Cai asked curiously.

"Just joined, what kind of official can he be appointed? He is really in Lujiang at the moment, helping the king build a navy."

"Your Majesty, the entire family of the Xun family has followed you, so you can't treat Brother Xiu Ruo badly. He treated me very well when he was young," Xun Cai said.

Before going to bed, the pillow wind was blowing, Liu Qing smiled wryly in his heart, otherwise, why would the Xun family marry Xun Cai to him, isn't it just to blow the pillow wind.

"This king has a good idea in his heart. When the navy is refined and recovers the two states of Jingyang, if it is a great achievement, how can this king treat him badly! But you, giving birth to a child for this king, should be a great achievement. Let me talk about it." ,what do you want?"

Xun Cai made a thoughtful gesture, sized up Liu Qing with a pair of black eyes, and after a while, Xun Cai replied: "I hope that after the baby is born, the king will spend more time with me and the baby."

"Naturally, the Yuan family has already been overthrown, and the rest are only a few petty thieves. I don't need my prince to come to the expedition in the future."

"Really?" Xun Cai asked in surprise.

"Well, that's normal."

Xun Cai's face suddenly changed, and he pouted, "I know that what the king says doesn't count!"

Liu Qing quickly took Xun Cai into his arms, and comforted him, "Nonsense, when did this king break his trust with others!"

As he said that, he immediately changed the subject, "I'll come and listen to the little guy again!"

Seeing Liu Qing listening quietly on his stomach, Xun Cai's heart felt warm, and he couldn't help but smile sweetly.

……

The next day, when Liu Qing opened his eyes, the sun was already high.

After traveling for a while, he was physically and mentally exhausted. After the hot bath and beauty nest last night, Liu Qing was comfortable and tired, so he got up late.

"Husband, Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao are already waiting in the study." Cai Yan's voice came from the edge of the bed.

At this time, Cai Yan had finished dressing, and she was dressed in a light blue dress that was fresh and natural, not as solemn as yesterday, which reminded Liu Qing of the time when the two first met.

"Zhaoji's outfit today makes me very happy!" Liu Qing said, taking Cai Yan's little hand and caressing it.

Cai Yan didn't know what to do, and said coquettishly, "Husband, get up!"

Liu Qing didn't make any fuss, got up immediately, and under the service of Cai Yan, got up and washed, and then went to the study.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia were still waiting in the study.

"I have seen the king!" The two saluted in unison.

"There is no need to be formal." Liu Qing said, and when he walked to the back of the case, he saw that there were several piles of documents, sorted and piled up, which should be sorted out by Cai Yan.

"Wen Ruo, is there any news?"

"My lord, a letter from Zhang Ze from Fufeng the day before yesterday said that Ma Teng's army had captured Chencang, and Han Sui's army had retreated to Chencang West Road. It would not take long for them to withdraw from Guanzhong. In addition, Beidi County has been occupied by Zhang Xiu, and Dong Zhuo's army has already moved to the west of Chencang. When Hanyang advances, Han Sui will be hard-pressed to resist the siege from three sides, and the failure is also expected, and Liangzhou will be restored in a short time."

Xun Yu paused for a moment, and then said, "It's just that the problem of the Qiang people in Liangzhou is still difficult to solve. If my lord is stationed as the governor, the Qiang people probably won't buy it."

Liu Qing thought about it, the Qiang people rebelled, in the final analysis, it was because of the survival problem. Compared with the Central Plains people, the demands of the border people were simpler, so simple that they only needed to live.

But because even this basic demand cannot be met, the Qiang people often rebel, not to mention foreigners, even the border residents themselves, or those who have stayed at the border for a long time, will have many unspeakable emotions in their hearts, such as fickleness.

A person like Han Sui is capricious.

Of course, if Ma Teng is allowed to play freely in Liangzhou, the final outcome may be Han Sui's second, and if his son grows up in this environment, the final child may become Han Sui's third, the second or fifth child of cheating father.

Fortunately, with Liu Qing around, the Ma Teng family may be on the right path.

The Qiang people are just trying to survive. If the war in the world is about to end, there will be a lot of food left over, which can be exchanged for the special products of the Qiang people, such as bows and arrows, horses, furs and so on.

"Can the Xianbei mutual market method be used to solve the Qiang people's problem?"

Xun Yu replied: "My lord, this method may not be feasible. The Qiang tribes are scattered and scattered, and the dragons have no leader. If Han Sui is defeated, the Qiang people may become more scattered. It is extremely difficult to deal with it."

"Why?" Liu Qing asked in the tone of his ancestors.

"Dong Zhuo is quite famous among the Qiang people, maybe Dong Zhuo can be this person." Xun Yu suggested.

"Zhongying, don't say it, it seems that there is no one more suitable than him."

Guo Jia reminded: "My lord, it's okay to let Dong Zhuo fight, but it's not easy to govern Liangzhou.

"What Feng Xiao said is true. The king is not at ease in handing over Liangzhou to Dong Zhuo. If Bingzhou had not been arranged in an orderly manner, he would not have demoted him there. What do you think about Ma Teng?"

Xun Yu was thoughtful, and then asked: "My lord, Ma Teng was originally a rebel general in the frontier, can he... be trusted?"

Just as Liu Qing imagined, if Ma Teng was allowed to roam around Liangzhou for a few years without restraint, he might really become a member of the separatist regime. If you can provide a clear and stable promotion direction, you should be able to get on the right path.

"It should be possible!" Liu Qing said.

"Ma Teng is as famous as Han Sui among the Qiang people. If the lord can trust Ma Teng, Ma Teng will be the best candidate." Xun Yu said.

"That being the case, let Ma Teng be made General Fubo first, lead the prefect of Hanyang, and order him to enter Liangzhou to destroy Han Sui. In addition, this king will also transfer two generals, Zhang Yang and Juyi, to help!" Liu Qing ordered Next, finalize the matter of Liangzhou.

At this time, Xun Yu took out another document and handed it to Liu Qing, saying, "Master, this is news from Yizhou."

"Oh? It's rare that there is news from Yizhou. Has Liu Yan's rebellion ended and Yizhou has been unified?" Liu Qing asked while reading the documents.

Xun Yu shook his head and explained: "It was Liu Yan who appointed Zhang Lu as the Governor Sima, and Zhang Xiu, the other Sima, led the troops to attack Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong. Now Su Gu is dead, but Zhang Lu attacked Zhang Xiu by surprise. After taking the soldiers and horses, Chen Bing slanted the valley road and blocked the communication with the Central Plains."

It turned out that Zhang Lu started acting as a demon, but in Liu Qing's impression, Zhang Lu was originally Liu Yan's man, and the so-called mutiny and rebellion was more like a scene directed by Liu Yan.

Zhang Luxiong occupied Hanzhong, cut off the communication between Yizhou and the Central Plains, and intercepted and killed the court envoys. In this way, the connection between Yizhou and the court was really broken, and Liu Yan could sit back and enjoy the benefits and separate himself from Yizhou.

Liu Yan's abacus was right, and Liu Qing heard it in Jizhou.

"Do you think that Zhang Lu's behavior was deliberately directed by Liu Yan?" Liu Qing asked bluntly.

Guo Jia smiled and replied: "My lord has a clear mind. If Zhang Lu's separatist regime in Hanzhong would benefit the most, it would be Liu Yan. In this way, Liu Yan's suspicion is very serious!"

Xun Yu also nodded, "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, and the angle of the master's thinking is very novel. I thought it was Zhang Lu's rebellion. Now that I think about it, when Liu Yan entered Shu, Zhang Lu fully supported him. Now Yizhou is about to stabilize. How can Zhang Lu betray him?"

"It's just a major event, and the two of them just shared the spoils. Zhang Lu won Hanzhong, and he was in the court for Liu Yan. He has calculated that Hanzhong has high mountains and long roads, and rough valleys. It is really not easy to send troops from the Central Plains to crusade, but ——" Liu Qing suddenly changed the subject, and continued: "Since Zhang Lu separatized Hanzhong in the name of rebellion, this gave me a reason to send troops!"

"My lord, do you intend to make a quick decision?" Xun Yu asked.

Liu Qing went to the map, gestured with his hands, and said: "Feng Xiao, this king wants the Guanzhong army to gather in Chencang, and intends to march into the inclined valley to confuse Zhang Lu, and then lead the Nanyang army to march westward along the Mian River. , quickly attacking Shangyong and Xicheng, is this plan feasible?"

"In the old days, Han Xinming built plank roads and went to Chencang secretly. Today, the Lord is stationed in Chencang and crosses Mianshui secretly. This battle will definitely become a classic battle!" Guo Jia laughed.

"Okay! It won't be a short while to destroy Han. In this case, first order Ma Teng to build momentum in Chencang, and then rush to Jia Xu, and order him to dispatch three generals, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, and Li Jue, to raid Hanzhong!" Liu Qing made up his mind. , I feel relieved for a while.

"Wen Ruo, make an order!"

"Here!"

Xun Yu sat in front of the case and wrote quickly at the desk. After a short time, he finished writing and handed it to Liu Qing for inspection. After Liu Qing read it, he stamped it with a seal and immediately ordered Dian Wei to call the imperial guards to deliver the letter quickly.

It's fine if Liu Yan doesn't move. Liu Qing still thought that with Liu Yan's dog, Yizhou would become the last state to be united. Unexpectedly, Yizhou began to act as a demon when the two states of Jing and Yang were not yet determined.

If Hanzhong can be captured in this battle, it will undoubtedly be a javelin wedged into the land of Yizhou. Of course, Hanzhong is such an important place, and it may not be easy to capture it. The details will be left to Jia Xu , Liu Qing believes in his intelligence and strength, and he is naturally no problem with Xu Huang, Gao Shun and Li Jue's fighting power.

Liu Qing thought about it, and suddenly remembered another one.

Wei Yan's conspiracy in Ziwu Valley.

You can kill from Hanzhong to Chang'an, and vice versa, you can also kill from Chang'an to Hanzhong.

After Liu Qing returned to the table, he found a pile of maps, among which were detailed maps of various states. The one in front of Liu Qing was a map of mountains, rivers and cities in northern Yizhou, with Xiegu Road and Meridian Road clearly defined on the top. .

"Feng Xiao, look, this place is Ziwu Valley. If Chen Cang is used as a cover, and a cavalry force enters Hanzhong from this road, then..." Liu Qing didn't go on, leaving it to Guo Jia to play freely.

Guo Jia frowned and looked at the map.

"My lord, this road is extremely steep. If I am ambushed, I am afraid that the loss will be unpredictable, but this road is feasible!"

"Oh? Since the risk is unpredictable, why is it feasible?"

"If the Hanzhong army guards against the army on Xiegu Road with a large army, and then divides up to intercept and kill them in Ziwu Road, then the direction of Shangyong West City is basically guaranteed. The West City is sure. Once the Hanzhong barrier is lost, it will be easy for the lord to take it!
An idea is a good idea, and a risk is a real risk. As Guo Jia said, this plan is imperative!

Liu Qing thought for a while, who should be sent there, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun are definitely not possible, Zhang Yun is stationed in Gyeonggi, it is not easy to escape, and Luoyang is too far away.

Liu Qing suddenly thought of one person, Taiping General Zhang Ning.

The cavalry set off from Hedong County, went south from Chang'an to enter the Qinling Mountains, and then entered the Meridian Road. In terms of time, there was more than enough time.

"Wen Ruo, please write another letter to order General Taiping and Governor Zhang Ning of Hedong to lead the cavalry into the Meridian Road. Please make a note and be careful in everything. If you lose the enemy, just retreat and don't need to fight to the death."

Xun Yu wrote at his desk, while Liu Qing and Guo Jia pointed on the map, frequently pointing to Zhongnanyang and Hanzhong counties.

"My lord, whoever wins Nanyang will get half of Jingzhou, and whoever wins Hanzhong will get half of Yizhou!" Guo Jia asserted, after Xun Yu finished writing, he also quietly listened to Guo Jia's evaluation.

"Now that Nanyang has been acquired, Hanzhong is acquired, and the chaos in the world is about to stop!"
