Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 949

In the seventh year of Chuping, the first ten days of February.

Qingzhou.

The sea breeze blows slowly. When the sea breeze blows, the air above Qingzhou is full of moist breath.

Because Qingzhou is close to the East China Sea, the sea area along the coast is very long, and it is relatively difficult to defend. This also leads to the order in Qingzhou is not very good. Not only are there pirates infested and plundered, but there are also some Qingzhou rebels in the counties of Qingzhou. From time to time, it disturbs the prefectures and counties of Qingzhou.

The so-called Qingzhou rebels are the remnants of the former Yellow Turbans.

In the past, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were defeated first in Runan and then in Yanzhou. They lost all their troops and lost one of their generals.

However, there are still some who fled from Yanzhou and returned to Qingzhou, occupying the mountains as kings, and falling into the grass as bandits.

Among them, the most powerful is a group of Yellow Turban soldiers headed by Guan Hai.

They don't have many soldiers who are good at fighting, there are only about a hundred cavalry, but they come and go like the wind, traversing the counties of Qingzhou, and their whereabouts are hard to figure out, so for many years, Qingzhou has been a big problem.

Today's governor of Qingzhou is Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan has been encircled and suppressed three times, but he was unable to strangle this hurricane-like cavalry bandit, which once made the name of the Yellow Turban Army famous in the land of Qingzhou.

And Guan Hai's lair is not actually in Qingzhou, but in Taishan County, which is located on the axis of the northern border of Mount Tai, and across a river is Qi County.

For so many years, Guan Hai has been safe and sound, more because of Cao Jun's tolerance for him, so Guan Hai is also very sensible, never plundering Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and has always only acted in Qingzhou.

The Yellow Turban lair is not the kind of fortress with a huge gate and a huge city. It is actually a very comfortable village. From top to bottom, everyone in the village is a Yellow Turban. The Yellow Turban Uprising was, after all, just a peasant uprising. The people here are just farmers who are struggling to survive.

Although it is only a village, it is well arranged, with sentries in front and back, and camps built in the east and west, and the place is a bit remote. Unless you search deliberately, it is difficult to find the old nest of the Yellow Turban.

Most of the villages are thatched huts, but there is only one built courtyard, which is the military headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army.

Guan Hai had a strong body, sitting cross-legged on a high position, his eyes flickered, he looked at a person standing in the hall, and asked, "Cao Mengde sent you here, what's the matter?"

"Guan Shuai, you have been powerful in Qingzhou these years, but after all, your ability is limited!"

Lieutenant Tangxia is also a well-known counselor in Cao Ying, so is Cheng Yu. He smiles like a spring breeze, but he is indeed a ruthless man who used human flesh as his dry food: "I came here on behalf of the lord Shuai Neng returned to Xuzhou to assist my lord and create a business together!"

"I, the Yellow Turban, will not join the government, so you leave quickly!"

Guan Hai's eyes widened, startled by killing intent.

"Guan Shuai, shouldn't you think about it for the sake of these yellow scarf people!" Cheng Yu was not disappointed, this is not the first time he has come to persuade him to surrender, this Guan Hai has a bit of resilience, which makes him quite impressed : "In today's world, there is chaos and disputes, and everyone is in danger. If there is a big war, countless people will suffer. How will you stand on your own? My lord sits in Xuzhou, holds the rivers and mountains of Yanyu and Yanyu, and has millions of people. Hundreds of thousands, and has always valued talents, and has issued an order to seek talents from all over the world, regardless of background, regardless of reputation, such a master, is it possible that you will not be voted for?"

"Ha ha!"

Guan Hai sneered: "I don't read much, but don't lie to me. The order to seek talents was issued by Mushan, who was once my commander-in-chief in the yellow scarf. He, Cao Mengde, is just picking up the favor of his predecessors!"

"No matter what, on behalf of my lord's attitude, Guan Shuai, if you can hold down for a while, can you hold down tens of thousands of yellow scarves with a mere hundred riders? Once you are frustrated and trapped in Qingzhou, then you are going to let them These people, what do they use to survive!"

Cheng Yu said in a deep tone.

"I need to think about it!" Guan Hai was a little shaken.

"You have enough time to think about it. My lord will not force you, but I hope you can think it over clearly, because once my lord launches an attack on Qingzhou, Yuchi will be affected in the south in the future. It is not a friend but an enemy!" Cheng Yu's last sentence became more serious. With a lot of tone, this is a threat, with both grace and power, this method, he has used it with great proficiency.

"Let me take my leave first!"

Without waiting for Guan Hai's reaction, Cheng Yu cupped his hands in salute, turned and left.

"Qu Shuai, he is too arrogant, I will kill him!"

A yellow scarf youth was furious.

"Let him go!" Guan Hai shook his head.

"Is he handsome?"

Many yellow turban generals were a little upset.

"Go down first, I need to think about this matter carefully!"

"Yes!"

Guan Hai had great prestige among the generals of the Yellow Turbans. Although the generals were a little annoyed when he spoke, they were very quiet and obedient.

After all the generals left, Guan Hai said in a low voice as if facing the emptiness: "You heard it all, the pressure has already begun, I can't hold back for a long time!"

"No one asked you to refuse, the key is what you think!" A man in his thirties came out from behind a screen. He seemed to be familiar with Guan Hai, and he spoke casually, and said, "You are the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou now." He's so handsome!"

"I never thought I would become Qu Shuai of Qingzhou Yellow Turban!"

Guan Hai smiled wryly: "After recovering from his injuries in the past, I wanted to go south to find the trace of the saint, but to repay Buji's kindness, I have to train for him and train a team of Taiping Shenwei. Buji couldn't seek Qingzhou. Yuan Qi, when Yanzhou was defeated and on the verge of death, sent the flag of Qingzhou Qushuai to me, seeing so many people's lives and deaths, I really can't let it go!"

"His Royal Highness will not blame you!" the man said.

"But I am ashamed of the great virtuous teacher's entrustment!" Guan Hai said in shame: "Failed to protect the safety of the saint, how much suffering the saint has suffered all these years!"

"In the past, we couldn't escape. The Taiping Divine Guard Army was almost extinct. Counting Commander Zhang Huo, there were only eleven sons left. Over the years, they have lost a lot. Now there are only seven real Divine Guard Generals. Already!"

The man's name is Chen Song, one of the older generation of Taiping God Guards, one of Zhang Ning's personal guards, and now he is not only the instructor of Jingping Wubei Hall, but also a member of the God Guards.

This time, he was seconded by Jing Wusi.

The purpose is to drop Guanhai.

Guan Hai's strength is not strong, but it is a rare opportunity for the Minghou Mansion to plant a flag here.

"But we are also very relieved!" Chen Song said softly: "Although the saint has suffered a lot in these years, she is now living a good life. He is Mrs. Minghou!"

"Minghou?" Guan Hai squinted his eyes: "Back when Bu Ji led the army to Runan, a certain one almost confronted Mu Sanchui on the battlefield. Although he died, he never thought that his son would have such accomplishments today. It's rare, but..."

"What do you want to say?"

"Is he a good match?"

"I don't know, but the Holy Maiden thinks so, at least I saw Her Highness the Holy Maiden, she was smiling. We all grew up watching Her Highness the Holy Maiden. It is the greatest comfort that she can be happy. !" Chen Song said: "And I believe that Marquis Ming will protect her well, I understand Marquis Ming!"

"In troubled times, the feudal lords are not blessed. One is prosperous and the other is bad. If His Highness marries him, if he is defeated in the future, how will His Highness be spared!" Guan Hai said: "At the beginning, you should let Master Yu Ji take His Highness away. , Living in the mountains and preaching to the world is not necessarily a blessing, it may make the Taiping Dao rise again!"

"This is not what you and I can say. Whatever His Highness decides, we shall obey!"

Chen Song said.

"You came to surrender!" Guan Hai looked at Chen Song and said firmly, "You hope that I can surrender to Marquis Ming to help His Highness!"

"That's right!"

Chen Song nodded.

"But Qingzhou is thousands of miles away from Yizhou, how to descend?" Guan Hai asked.

"between!"

Chen Song was silent for a while, and said.

"Jian?" Guan Hai is also a person who is familiar with military books, and he immediately understood: "No wonder you said that Cao Jun's recruitment may not be a bad thing. You want me to be Cao Jun's room!"

"The Marquis of Ming has lofty aspirations. In the future, he wants to unify the country and create a prosperous world. One day, he will compete with the princes of the world!"

Chen Song said.

"Is this what His Highness meant?" Guan Hai asked.

"Your Highness doesn't know!" Chen Song shook his head: "The Marquis of Ming will never let His Highness ask about these things, after all..."

"Too dark!" Guan Hai sighed: "It seems that he still has a bit of His Royal Highness's heart!"

"I am here to persuade you at the invitation of King Wusi, but you and I are brothers from the same school. We grew up together, learned art together, and became the Taiping God Guard under the command of a great virtuous teacher. What can I say? I have already said it, and my own attitude, I want to tell you that there are not many of us old brothers!"

Chen Song said in a low voice: "How to decide, you have your own opinion, but you have to learn to protect yourself, old brother, if one dies, one less, if they are all dead, the Taiping Divine Guard may become extinct!"

The name of the Divine Guard has been passed down, but the real Taiping Divine Guard is not these people, they are all trained by great virtuous teachers.

"I see!"

Guan Hai nodded, and then said: "Just now, I heard from Cheng Yu that Cao Jun is planning to attack Qingzhou. Will this matter affect the pattern of the world?"

"Of course there will be!"

Chen Song said: "This news will be sent back to Yizhou as soon as possible. As for how to deal with it, that's not my business!"

"I don't want to talk to you about letting me return to Yizhou. It hurts my feelings. You ask Yizhou to send their capable people to talk to me. I want to weigh the interests. After all, I am not alone now, but Qingzhou Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, no matter what decision you make, it must be based on the interests of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans!"

"En!" Chen Song nodded.

"I haven't seen you for so many years. Seeing you today makes me feel good. I'll just sleep when I'm drunk!" Guan Hai laughed out loud.

"good!"

Chen Song also laughed.

..................................................................

In Youzhou, Liu Bei has held the power for the past two years and has been competing with Jizhou. The two sides have fought countless times with Jieqiao as the battlefield.

Liu Bei is using the battle with Jizhou to integrate Youzhou, completely take back the power of Youzhou from Liu Yu's son Liu He, and gradually consolidate the Youzhou regime.

As for Yuan Shao, he was ready, but Cao Cao and the imperial army in the south had not been appeased, and he never dared to attack with all his strength to collect Youzhou, so he could only spend his time at the border.

After the spring of this year, the two sides have increased their troops at Jieqiao, intending to have a big battle this year.

Fan Yang, the front line of the Youzhou Army.

Liu Bei was dressed in military uniform, standing on the city wall, looking far away, looking to the south.

"My lord, there's news from Youzhou that Marquis Wenming has conquered the southern part of Yizhou and is about to lead his main force back to Jiangzhou!" Guan Jing came up from under the city wall and clasped his hands to report.

"It's so fast!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was a little jealous: "He is a herder of dragons, He Dehe Neng, Ju Neng sits on the land of Yizhou, and easily quelled the contradictions in the entire Yizhou. He concentrated his main force and sat firmly in Yizhou. No one can do anything to him." !"

Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once the interior is smoothed out by Mujing, even if the whole world gathers forces to attack, it may not be able to penetrate.

The princes of this side are sitting firmly.

And although he gradually took charge of the power in Youzhou, Liu Yu's old department always respected Liu He as the main one. Relatively speaking, he was a little embarrassed, especially when Liu He fell ill and was in distress several times, and almost died. Let many people put this account on him.

If he hadn't reacted in time, he might have been blamed.

"My lord, I think it's time to establish diplomatic relations with Yizhou!" Guan Jing said: "Yizhou is a strategy of long-distance diplomatic relations and short-term attacks. We should also fire the fire. We agree with the Minghou Mansion, and presumably the Minghou Mansion will also agree with our Youzhou General's Mansion. , this is beneficial to both of us, and we have no contact with the border, no conflicts, and we are the best allies!"

"Ok!"

Liu Bei nodded.

When the Yizhou envoy Yiji visited last year, he was already tempted, but he kept holding back, because he was not very optimistic that Mujing would be able to stabilize Yizhou, but now that Mujing has flattened the southern part of Yizhou, that means, He has been able to secure his position as the Lord of Yizhou.

At this time, he had to admit Mujing's status.

Mu Jing has always been in an embarrassing position among the princes of the world, not only because he was born in the Yellow Turban, but also because his father was once listed as a national traitor by the court. , it is difficult to turn over.

However, Mujing created a broad avenue, and in just a few years, forcibly created a piece of Yizhou.

At this time, they have to take the initiative to whitewash Mujing, because it is meaningless to care about those backgrounds anymore. Now that strength is king and they agree with Mujing's status, only then can Yizhou contain the court.

After all, the most powerful princes in the world now are the imperial court. The imperial court sits on the world and holds the orthodoxy. The Han Dynasty has had four hundred years of influence in the world, and its influence has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. The world's heroes are angry.
