Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 152 You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder

Youzhou, Zhuo County.

The Zhongchang servant Zhang Rang was very happy, and he was open about going north to fight the plague.

With the busyness of Liu Bei and Tianshidao, this plague can be regarded as a successful fight, which is considered a great achievement...

Of course, this is not important to Zhang Rang. For him, he has made a lot of money after coming to Zhuojun for more than a month, and he has adopted more than seven or eight godsons alone!
Calling "godfather" one by one, not to mention how kind.

Of course, these godsons are very sensible, delicacies from mountains and seas, silks and satins, gold and silver jewels are not a problem.

Except... Zhang Rang couldn't touch women because he didn't have eggs, which was already a flaw.

Now, Zhang Rang has earned both face and face.

After only a few days, when the plague subsides completely, Zhang Rang should bring the countless gold, silver and jewels back to the palace to receive the rewards. If they are not complete... Your Majesty, Long Yan is very happy, and he can be made a marquis!

This is done...beautiful!

At this moment, Zhang Rang was dozing off.

During this time, he suddenly became extremely lethargic...

When I came to this borderland a month ago, it was a restless sleep, and there was a section in the middle where Zhang Rang felt like a light was on his back, with a knife hanging over his head all the time.

it's good now…

The plague can be cured, isn't this... everyone's happy!

Naturally...he sleeps well and eats well.

He came to the palace after suffering such a knife since he was a child, isn't it just for these things!
"Yawn~"

Zhang Rang opened his eyes, and suddenly felt... Life is so comfortable, like an emperor, being admired by all the stars, no need to curry favor with anyone... How can this kind of life feel a bit boring?

Haha!

Just when Zhang Rang was stunned by You Zizai.

Suddenly, someone shouted. "Wuhuan people, Wuhuan people..."

"Clang clang clang..."

The bells and drums on the bell tower in Zhuojun also rang again and again... Countless scouts ran wildly in the city, "Enemy attack, enemy attack..."

The entire Zhuo County... every county is filled with such voices.

A large number of officers and soldiers went up to the city tower one after another, breathing white gas in their mouths...one of them didn't know why...

Wuhuan, it shouldn't be...every year, the big man will reward them with materials equivalent to tens of millions of dollars, just to prevent them from encroaching on the border. How could they... go south to plunder?
It can be used as a tower.

Everyone stopped breathing...there really are Wuhuan people, countless Wuhuan people, mighty Huqi...have appeared on the horizon.

On the horizon, countless small black dots appeared, but immediately... these black dots became bigger and bigger...

Zhang Rang didn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he ran to the tower with the shoes.

Seeing the situation under the city... the black clouds pressing down on the city, he...he was stunned.

The mighty Wuhuan people, like dark clouds overwhelming the top, swarmed towards the tower of Zhuojun...

The point is... this... isn't it right?

Not to mention that the Wuhuan people have never gone south to plunder for more than ten years, even if they plunder... why did they bypass "Guangyang", "Yuyang", "Shanggu", "Daijun"...however... just approach The seat of Youzhou...is it from Zhuo County, which is located in the heart?
At this time, Zhang Rang noticed that Tao Qian, the governor of Youzhou, was also there.

It seems that because of his ability to fight against the plague, Tao Qian has been inspecting Zhuo County for the past few days...

Beside him, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong stared at the Wuhuan knights below the city with their eyebrows fixed.

A scout Zhangkou reported: "Reporting to the governor, the Wuhuan people cooperated with the Huwuhuan Zhonglang General and the Huwuhuan Xiaowei inside and outside, and made money from 'Guangyang', 'Yuyang', 'Shanggu', and 'Daijun'. The gate... But the Wuhuan Huqi didn't stop, they just sent people to station on the towers of the counties, and then...then they came straight to Zhuojun!"

This…

Hearing this news, Tao Qian staggered his legs and almost fell to the ground.

No wonder the Wuhuan people came here so suddenly. It turns out...it turned out to be the general who protects Wuhuan, and the captain who protects Wuhuan.

But Wuhuan did not plunder those cities and counties, but went straight to "Zhuo County"...

Their purpose is not just to "loot"...they want to break through the seat of Youzhou, they plan to take Youzhou as their own!
That's right.

Wuhuan, who lived in the gap between the Han Dynasty and the Xianbei, could have both sides.

You can also... abandon all contracts and launch the most ferocious attack on the Han court.

Wuhuan... this is not the first time he has done this!
There are eleven counties in Youzhou, which are ninety counties...

They can be used as a granary or as a hunting ground!
"Lord Inspector, the most urgent task is to send a messenger to ask for help from the imperial court..."

Liu Bei reminded immediately.

"Please...for help?" Looking at the approaching Hu cavalry formation, Tao Qian was out of breath.

Seeing him like this, Liu Bei knew...the governor of Youzhou could not be counted on.

Immediately, Liu Bei ordered: "The envoys of the entire Zhuo County rushed to Luoyang for help in seven hundred miles. In addition... after the messenger left the city, the entire Zhuo County was solid and clear. Anyone who tried to open the city gate would be identified as Wuhuan Subtle work...can be directly killed!"

"Well..."

Although Liu Bei is only a small county magistrate.

But at this time...the enemy is in front of us, and there is no time...

The city tower of Zhuojun needs a backbone.

It was Zhang Rang who quickly tugged Liu Bei's sleeve. "Our family...our family doesn't want to die here, our family...want...to go out of the city, to...go back to Luoyang!"

"I can't go back." There was an infinite coldness in Liu Bei's eyes. "Does Zhang Changshi know how to ride a horse? If it weren't for the messenger who is good at riding, would you be able to outrun the barbarian who was galloping outside the Great Wall since childhood?"

This…

Zhang Rang thought with a "thump" in his heart.

Can't go back, strong walls and clear fields...

Suddenly, he thought of an extremely tragic thing.

Doesn't this mean that... Zhuo County has been sealed off again?And... different from the last time the city was closed, this time... there are no supplies!

"Xianhe..." Liu Bei called Jian Yong to his side.

"Xuande..."

"You drive your horse and rush to Nanyang immediately." Liu Bei said in a serious tone, "The court may not be able to gather so many soldiers and horses in a short while, but Zhuojun County is solid and clear... It won't last long, you must... see Brother Liu, Ask him how to break the situation!"

This…

Jian Yong looked back at Liu Bei.

He could feel that the Hu people had come prepared this time... and they went straight to "Zhuo County". Now is the only chance to escape.

And escaping is more likely to survive than staying!
"Xianhe, don't worry about me. I, the magistrate of Zhuo County, was recommended by my younger brother Liu. Although the plague has stopped, my mission as a county magistrate has not been completed. Although it is the first time for me, Liu Bei, to face such a situation,... I will definitely not let Zhuojun lose anything, and I will definitely not let down Brother Liu's recommendation!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei patted Jian Yong's shoulder suddenly.

The last four words were left - "Go, come back!"

Jian Yong gritted his teeth...

Accompanied by a long sigh of "Oh...", he quickly walked down the tower.

As Liu Bei said...

This is already the last chance to get out of the city under the black clouds!

It may also be the last chance to survive!
...

...

Nanyang County, Wancheng.

May has come to an end, and the coming of June marks the beginning of large-scale weaving work in various households.

This is also the busiest season for women in various peasant families.

Of course, men can't stay idle either, and they should pay special attention to field management after the rain in June.

It is necessary to weed and loosen the soil in time, so as to prevent the growth of weeds and soil compaction, and increase the air permeability of the soil.

On the sixth day of June, it is even more important to plant "sunflowers"!
Unlike other months, there are no large-scale sacrificial activities in June.

However, due to changes in the weather, farmers often organize some activities spontaneously.

If the rainfall is too low, it is necessary to sacrifice to the God of Valley and the God of Land;

If there is a drought, activities to pray for rain will be held from the court to the local area.

In June of this year, there was surprisingly little rain...drought seems inevitable...

And taking advantage of the time of offering sacrifices to the God of Valley and the God of Earth, more caring people continue to incite...

Attributing this "drought" and "God does not rain" to the "angry of heaven and human resentment!"

The resentment against the local government among the people... can be said to have intensified.

It seems...the credit for "fighting the plague" here has been completely offset.

Even if it looks calm on the surface.

But in fact, there is already an invisible hand constantly manipulating everything.

"Hahaha…"

In a restaurant, He Jin burst out laughing.

A group of younger brothers in front of him are about to be as good as today...the rain has not yet fallen, and the resentment of the people is reported to He Jin.

I heard that he was elated.

"It's been almost a month since the incitement, and the emotions of these peasants have probably accumulated to a certain level, right? You can decide, when will you make a fuss and rush to Liu Yu's county mansion?"

He Jin asked with interest.

"The date has been set." A jittery younger brother opened his mouth and said: "On the day when the Yellow Emperor is sacrificed in the suburbs, all the people of Nanyang will gather in our Wancheng to ask Liu Yu for justice. Such a big action...is tantamount to Riot, mutiny!"

"Hahaha…"

He Jin laughed heartily.

As for the day of "Sacrificing the Yellow Emperor in the suburbs" mentioned by this little brother.

That was eighteen days before the "beginning of autumn" in July, which was actually in June, so very, very close to now.

"It's done this time, all of you will be officials in the court!"

He Jin patted his chest to assure a group of younger brothers.

"Thank you, Brother He..."

"Thank you, Brother He!"

A group of younger brothers hurriedly stood up, toasting toasts...long bows, long bows!

as if…

These gangsters at the bottom of Nanyang have found a gate leading directly to the ladder!

...

...

Wancheng.

The capable guards in front of the Yamen's office, under the leadership of the county captain, Wenpin, stood guardedly.

Seeing that Guan Yu and Xu Huang were about to break in, they stopped them in unison without saying a word...

Guan Yu and Xu Huang looked anxious.

Guan Yu opened his mouth and said, "I have something important to report to Sheriff Liu... You wait to get out of the way quickly."

Wen Pin clasped his hands and said, "Brother Changsheng, Brother Gongming, I didn't stop you two... but Jun Liu is summoning the ghost soldiers of the Heavenly Master's Way to discuss matters in it, and no one is allowed to enter."

This…

Xu Huang frowned, "I just saw Huang Zhong and Wei Yan also entered it, how could Captain Wen not stop them?"

"Huang Hansheng and Wei Wenchang are also ghost soldiers of the Heavenly Master's Way... they can participate in this meeting."

Wenpin replied truthfully.

Xu Huang knocked on his forehead and turned to look back at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu's face is not pretty...

"What Gongming and I want to talk about is an urgent matter. Captain Wen Jun should have heard about it. Now... because of the implementation of 'cremation', the whole Nanyang is not peaceful. There are faint rumors that the people may riot and mutiny... If so…"

This is the end of Guan Yu's words.

Wenpin interrupted: "Brother Changsheng, don't panic, I heard that this is what Tianshidao discussed this time!"

"Liu Junshou is the Grand Priest of the Heavenly Master Dao. He is surrounded by ghost soldiers. Brother Changsheng and Brother Gongming can detect things. How could he not know? I might as well stay calm and wait for Liu Just be sent by the sheriff."

Wenpin's words... seemed to convince Guan Yu.

"Guan knows."

Guan Yu bowed his hands again, and then left with Xu Huang.

Xu Huang was a little dissatisfied. "Changsheng, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, the celestial masters, can enter? Zensheng... can't the two of us enter?"

Guan Yu paused and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Gongming, I have exactly the same intention!"

While talking, the two of them didn't turn back, but left first, and they had to tell Liu Yu face to face next time about entering the Tao of Heavenly Master.

After the two left, Wenpin's expression became severe and solemn...

Public grievances are boiling...

It's not just Guan Changsheng and Xu Gongming who know, Wenpin is a county lieutenant, how could he not know?
There are even many officers and soldiers under him... because their parents were cremated, they almost drew their swords.

If it wasn't for Wenpin's iron fist to control the soldiers, he stopped them abruptly and severely punished them, which can be regarded as a deterrent to everyone, if not... I don't know what will happen.

The series of disasters caused by the cremation, if there is no explanation... I am afraid that there will be big troubles.

"Cough cough..."

After coughing several times, the yamen servant on the side opened his mouth quickly.

"Lieutenant Wen..."

"I'm fine... cheer up and guard this government office!"

In just an instant, the Wenpinhui returned to its majestic appearance.

He secretly made up his mind that even if there was a real riot, he...Wen Pin was in front of this government office.

——Liu Junshou has the kindness of knowing him, the person is... the door is there!It is absolutely impossible for anyone to hurt Liu Junshou...

...

now…

A secret room in the government office.

Liu Yu knelt and sat on the main seat. Although Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were newly promoted pawns, they knelt in two sets, as if...the two had a high status in the Tao of Heavenly Masters.

First, a ghost soldier reported the situation in "Youzhou".

When the ghost soldier came, he hadn't seen Wuhuan Koubian yet, so naturally... what he reported was "pleasant to hear and see".

What Zhuojun plague was completely cured...

People's hearts are stable...

It is expected that Tianshidao grows up day by day.

And after he reported it, Liu Yu waved his hand to signal him to stand aside, took a bowl of water from the table, drank it down, and immediately said loudly: "Let's play the matter of Nanyang together!"

No.1 Guizu reported, "One day ago, farmers in Nanyang spontaneously held activities to sacrifice to the 'God of Valley' and 'God of Land'. "Eighteen days before the day, that is, after the 'Yellow Emperor' was sacrificed in the suburbs, the peasants would gather in Wancheng to ask Liu Junshou for an explanation."

As he said that, he put a scroll on the table, which depicted... the instigation of many "people with a heart" during sacrifices in various places.

They're doing it secretly...but in huge numbers.

No.2 ghost soldier reported back, "Last night, I waited for the clues... It has been confirmed that the source of instigating the people's riots is in Wancheng. It is a family with the 'surname He'. After visiting...I found that this person is actually the harem' Concubine He. 'The elder brother is the uncle of the eldest prince born by His Majesty!"

Unfolding the hand scroll, it shows He Jin and a group of younger brothers at a banquet, in which the cups of wine are mixed... He Jin seems to be in a good mood.

Liu Yu asked with interest: "He is He Jin?"

"Exactly!"

After getting an affirmative answer, Liu Yu nodded.

No.3 ghost soldier reported back, "A day ago, I discovered some strange phenomena around Dajijiu! It seems that someone is secretly following Dajijiu, but this person is very skilled in martial arts, and his agility is also very good... Although I can occasionally feel it. , but did not find out after all..."

This time the scroll is a big white paper...

Didn't even see it...

That's right, I haven't even seen it, how can I draw it?

On the other hand, Wei Yan squinted his eyes and immediately asked, "Someone is actually following Dajijiu? This is to harm Dajijiu!"

"It may not be stalking." The ghost said truthfully: "I asked the ghost who was in charge of protecting the Dajijiu before, and occasionally found out, but the other party neither showed up nor made a move. It may not be disadvantageous, maybe...just protection!"

hiss…

Liu Yu paused for a moment, didn't hear... The Zhen family sent someone to protect him secretly, and the Cao family wouldn't...

If Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong sent someone, they would not fail to inform them.

So... who could it be?
Liu Yu squinted her eyes, and couldn't help paying a little more attention.

But soon... His mood once again focused on the situation in Nanyang.

"continue"

No. 4 ghost soldier reported, "There is a 2000 people stationed fifteen miles outside Nanyang City. Looking at the flag, it is one of the five major legions of the Han Ting and Northern Army. Before...they secretly sent people to contact Dajijiu's side General Huangfusong!"

This scroll unfolds...

It was the picture of Huangfusong opening the door to welcome a man in black.

The two seem to know each other... and they are quite familiar and trust each other.

this time…

Liu Yu pursed his mouth, his mind was spinning rapidly, after pondering for a long time, he opened his mouth to ask.

"Has everything been submitted?"

"Yes!" All the ghost soldiers said in unison.

Liu Yu stood up slowly, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his tone suddenly became much more serious.

"There are only two questions about this offering."

"First, those descendants of Nanyang's Yuntai chiefs, what are they doing?"

"Secondly, the things I prepared in advance for you are well-prepared!"

This is out of the way...

The ghost soldier had not had time to report back.

Huang Zhong took the lead and said: "During this time, I have been watching the heads of the families."

"Right now, the heads of the Eleventh Clan are all heading to Funiu Mountain with their disciples. It seems... because of the reminder from the great sacrificial wine, they went there to dig for 'gold'."

Hearing this, Liu Yu nodded politely.

"I'm sorry, Brother Huang."

After Huang Zhong's words fell, Wei Yan stood up, "Dajijiu, you arranged for us to prepare everything, and the secrets are hidden in a secret place, but...these items? What is the function of Dajijiu?"

"Function..." Liu Yu lowered her mouth, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a happy smile.

He counted the days with his fingers.

——"Isn't the riot happening when the 'Yellow Emperor' was sacrificed in the suburbs?"

——"The time...is just right."

In the short smile, what is engulfing... is the confidence that the current situation will be broken.

The so-called, you have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder!
Zhang Liang, who seeks the sage, is still the ancestor of our Heavenly Master and Zhengyi League!
