Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 55 The ten servants reverse black and white

The next day, Liu Qing entered Puyang and gathered with Huangfusong, Cao Cao, and Fu Xie in the prefect's mansion. Cao Shao had already abandoned the city and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a dozen wives and concubines without children.
It is estimated that the ancestors did all the bad things and received retribution, so if they want him, they will have no descendants.

Of course, Liu Qing knew Cao Shao's whereabouts, because he had already sent him on the road with his own hands.

"This time the battle went very smoothly. Nabusi rushed here, saving us from looking for him everywhere. Now that the main force has been wiped out, the remaining subordinates will be dealt with by Meng De." Huangfu Song said.

Cao Cao smiled all over his face. Although he didn't meet Bu Si's troops, he gained a lot at the ferry. "Cao also gained a lot. The bandits hoarded a lot of food and grass at the ferry, and I captured them all!"

Hearing this, Liu Qing smiled and said, "Meng De, don't swallow it alone, share it with me!"

"It's easy to say! I heard that you and Fu Sima paid a lot of war horses. In this way, I will give you [-] shi of military rations, [-] shi of fodder, and a little grain and grass. I have the right to be your son's military resources!" Cao Cao laughed, very generous.

Five thousand stone grain is enough for Liu Qing's three thousand soldiers and horses for two months.

"Thank you General Cao for your generosity!"

"My lord, you're being polite. If it wasn't for your generous help, how could we have defeated the thief so quickly," Cao Cao said.

At this time, Fu Xie took over the words and said: "Young master is more than righteous. He personally beheaded Busi in the cavalry formation of thousands of troops, and then came to our square to kill Liang Zhang and the two thieves for me. If it weren't for the young master, Xie's life would be over." !"

Fu Xie looked very serious, as if he was announcing an extremely important matter, "Our troops suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the cavalry of Bu Si's troops are the fiercest bandit soldiers I have ever seen. Even if Xie is alive, he can only wait for his dismissal and investigation!"

When Huangfusong and Cao Cao heard this, they were not as shocked as last time, but they both turned their eyes to Liu Qing to confirm the matter.

Cough cough, what about this... It is true that I gave you the head of Busi, but this does not mean that I personally beheaded it, but since you have praised it, I will reluctantly do it.

But I didn't admit it!

I just didn't deny it!
Seeing Liu Qing's acquiescing expression, Huangfusong and Cao Cao also understood that although they didn't know each other very well, they all knew that Mr. Liu Qing was very humble, and he was calm about all achievements in the world. is rare.

"The young master should be the pillar of the great man. At this age, this achievement, only the champion Hou Huo Qubing can compare!" Huangfu Song said.

Huangfusong was born in the Guanxi General's Gate, and he attached great importance to military merits, and he knew the importance of them. Liu Qing's merits should be made a Marquis according to the law, but the court just turned a blind eye to him. Even if he was not in the court, he could guess one or two.

It must be Zhang Shichang who let Zhao Zhong and other idiots get in the way!
"General Huangfu is in trouble. The champion's opponent is the fierce Hun cavalry. One battle decides the world, and the Yellow Turban is just a refugee army. They may be able to hoe the fields, but marching and fighting are really amateurs."

"My lord, don't be modest again. Song already prepared the performance table last night, so I will add the merits of my lord and send it to Luoyang!"

"Wait a minute, General Huangfu!" Liu Qing stopped and said, "General Huangfu and General Zhu have already been enshrined as marquises. Give Fu Sima some credit. Even if you add Qing's name, it will not help."

"But, son..." Fu Xie still declined.

"Just as I say!" Liu Qing interrupted with a slap in the face.

Huangfusong saw Liu Qing's determination, so he persuaded, "Nan Rong, then do as you say!"

"Fu Xie thanked you, Young Master!" Fu Xie got up and saluted Liu Qing.

Five days later.

It was already noon when Dongjun Zhanbao arrived in Luoyang.

Zhao Zhong read the battle report first, and summed it up in a few points: Dongjun was victorious in the battle, Bu Si and other three generals were executed, Fu Xie won the first victory, and the prefect Cao Shao disappeared after abandoning the city.

Of course, Zhao Zhong is most concerned about the last item. Cao Shao is the son of the Great Changqiu Cao Jie. Not to mention that Cao Jie has supported him and Zhang Rang and others, and he is also an important external force for the eunuchs. , such an important position as the prefect of Judong County, how can you say that if you disappear, you disappear?
Since Lu Qiang gave His Majesty advice, His Majesty had no choice but to accept it in order to flatten the Yellow Turban.

As a result, the rest of the regular attendants panicked, thinking about strategic contraction, confiscating many clan children who were originally sent to serve as officials in prefectures and counties, and destroying the external forces that have been operating for many years.

Zhao Zhong looked at Fu Xie's meritorious deeds mentioned in the battle report, and immediately sneered at them. Fu Xie's impeachment list for eunuchs is still in his possession. If such people are allowed to win meritorious titles and become officials, wouldn't it be worse?

Zhao Zhong immediately called Zhang Rang, Xia Yun and others to discuss how to deal with it. In the end, they decided to act first and go to meet His Majesty.

As soon as Liu Hong woke up from the afternoon sleep, he was really surprised to see several regular attendants kneeling in front of the couch.

"Why are you kneeling here?" Liu Hong said.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for your ministers!" The servants all prostrated themselves on the ground, crying sincerely.

"What's the matter, just tell me!"

Zhao Zhongdao: "Your Majesty, I have heard the rumors, that Lu Qiang is cheating, colluding with party members, discussing government affairs indiscriminately, and often talking about Huo Guang. I am afraid that this person will be harmful to Your Majesty!"

"Although Lu Changshi's words are not pleasant, he is also not like the person you are suing. Is there a mistake?"

Xia Yun said: "Your Majesty, brother Lü Qiang is a corrupt official and commits all kinds of crimes. The evidence is conclusive. If there is a brother like him, there must be a brother like him. I implore Your Majesty to make the decision!"

Seeing Xia Yun's vowed words, Liu Hong's heart was a little shaken, and he said: "Then let the leaders of the Zhonghuang sect go and summon Qiang for questioning!"

The Zhonghuangmen behind him immediately left.

"What else?"

"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turbans in Dongjun are small and vulnerable. The war is progressing smoothly, and it should be settled soon. It's just Jizhou..." Zhao Zhong shifted his words and shifted his focus to Jizhou.

"What happened to Jizhou!" Liu Hong said anxiously, Jizhou has always been his most important battlefield.

"Zuo Feng's repeated persuasion was in vain, General Bei Zhonglang resolutely refused, and even said that he would not accept foreign military orders."

"Bold! Why is Lu Zhi so presumptuous? Fortunately, he is still a famous Confucian and a teacher, how can he say such rebellious words!"

"Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. He should be dismissed immediately and sent back to Luoyang!" Zhang Rang took the opportunity to speak.

"Sure! But who can replace Lu Zhi?"

"Dong Zhuo, governor of Bingzhou, is brave in battle and can take on this role."

"Then I will issue an imperial edict to demote Lu Zhi's rank and rank, and Zuo Feng will escort him back to Luoyang, and then worship Dong Zhuo as the general of Dongzhong Lang, who will be in charge of Jizhou's military affairs, and quickly fight Zhang Jiao!"

"Here!" Zhang Rang bowed his head to accept the order, the corners of his mouth were full of complacency.

At this time, Zhonghuangmen suddenly entered the door, knelt in front of the couch and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Changshi said he didn't see the jailer, so he ended it on his own!"

"What!" A trace of panic flashed in Liu Hong's eyes. He always kept secrets about murders in the palace.

Zhao Zhong took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Lu Qiang must have committed suicide in fear of crime. It is clear that there is something wrong, and his family members should be arrested and interrogated!"

Lu Qiang died, and for some reason, Liu Hong suddenly felt a blank in his heart. The old man who was full of honest words died?
He sighed softly: "Quasi!"
