Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 20 Yanmen County Emergency News
Li Song left Luoyang and embarked on the road back to Shangdang County in Bingzhou. He knew that the alliance would soon collapse and the war would really start from this moment.

A few days later, Li Song and his entourage finally returned to their old lair and entered the prefect's mansion of the eldest son of Shangdang County.

At the gate of the prefect's mansion, Liu Bowen, Xiang Yu and a group of officials waited for the return of Li Song and others.

"Look! The lord is back!" an official pointed to the front and shouted loudly.

Everyone looked in the direction of their fingers, and a group of people came slowly towards them. The leader was not Li Song, who else could it be?

Li Song, Pei Yuanqing, Li Yuanba and others stopped in front of the gate of the prefect's mansion and jumped off their horses. Liu Bowen and Xiang Yu led a group of officials to kneel down and said: "Welcome my lord to return to the mansion!"

Li Song stepped forward to help everyone and said: "Everyone don't need to be too polite! Get up!" Until now, Li Song is still not used to this one of the most important etiquettes in ancient times.

Hearing this, everyone got up and surrounded Li Song and others and entered the prefect's mansion. In the main hall, Li Song sat on the main seat, Li Yuanba and Pei Yuanqing were separated on both sides, and Liu Bowen, Xiang Yu and others were seated on the left and right sides according to their status.

"This crusade against Dong Zhuo, I have been there for more than a year. It is thanks to everyone's dedication that I have been able to flourish in Bingzhou. Everyone who is sitting here again has contributed a lot! The meritorious records and review of the merits of the present, report to me, and rewards will be made at that time. !" Li Song affirmed everyone's dedication, and asked Gong Cao to sort out their performance for the year, and then give out rewards at that time.

Li Song sent troops to Hanoi in 190 AD, responded to Cao Cao's call, and joined the League. Until now in 191 AD, he has returned here for more than a year.

During this year, under the leadership of Liu Bowen and Xiang Yu, everyone worked together to make Bingzhou stronger and stronger. What Li Song saw along the way was a brand new Bingzhou. These are all due to their contributions, and naturally they should be rewarded.

As a king, it is necessary to distinguish rewards and punishments, rewards for meritorious deeds, and punishment for demerits, so that people can be convinced.

"Thank you, my lord!" Everyone quickly thanked them!When they heard that there were rewards, their faces were filled with joy. After all, these rewards were what they deserved.

This is enough to prove that all the efforts they have made this year have not been in vain, and it is a kind of affirmation of their work, so that they will devote more energy. Let me ask, when they have worked hard for a year and get nothing, who will do it? I'll still put my mind to it.

"I, Li Song, have always distinguished rewards and punishments. If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you have done something wrong, you will be punished. As long as you work hard, I will definitely not treat you badly." Li Song continued to speak, taking in all the expressions of everyone.

"Okay! Let's go! I've been sleeping in the open for a long time, and I'm tired. I need to rest! If there's nothing serious, let's go!" Li Song was indeed exhausted from riding horses these days.

"No!" Everyone glanced at the tired Li Song and the other three, bowed and retreated tactfully.

For several days in a row, except for rewarding the people on the merit list handed over by the meritorious service, Li Song lived a peaceful life very easily.

A fast horse galloped towards the prefect's mansion on the streets of Zhangzi County. There was a man riding on the horse, and the fiery red flag behind his back was rattling by the wind driven by the running.

From time to time, he waved the whip in his hand and lashed the horse's buttocks. The painful horse tried his best and ran towards the prefect's mansion with all his strength. He only hoped to arrive soon so as to avoid the pain of whipping.

The man fell off the horse before he could stop his horse in front of the gate of the eunuch's mansion, and the guard hurried forward to help him up.

"Yanmen County is in a hurry! Ask for reinforcements!" After the man finished speaking, he passed out.

"Brother! Brother!" The guard yelled a few times, seeing that he had really passed out, he said to his companion beside him, "Pick him up so he can be taken care of! I'll report to the lord!"

After handing him over to his companions, he untied the bamboo tube containing the urgent report from his back, held his head high, and ran in quickly, shouting as he ran, "Yanmen County is urgent!"

The urgent report was soon handed over to Liu Bowen. After reading it, Liu Bowen hurriedly went to Li Song, "My lord! Yanmen County is urgent! This is an emergency document from Yanmen County. Please read it, my lord." Pass the newspaper to Li Song.

Li Song looked puzzled. Yanmen County was regarded as Shangbian County, and what Bian County had to face was the Yi people.

During the period of Emperor Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tan Shihuai, the leader of the Xianbei tribe, unified the tribes of Xianbei and often harassed the border counties. After Tan Shihuai died, Xianbei split into three parts, one of which was headed by Budugen in the cloud, Yanmen Activities in the county and other areas.

Could it be that Xianbei, which has been quiet for several years, is once again playing autumn wind everywhere?Li Song, full of doubts, did not directly open the bamboo slips in his hand, but instead asked Liu Bowen.

"Could it be that they were active in Yunzhong County and Yanmen County, and Budugen's Xianbei tribe came to invade my Yanmen County again? How much loss?"

"My lord! Things are not as expected by my lord! Please read the urgent report document, my lord, and I will naturally understand what Bowen means." Liu Bowen shook his head and said.

Seeing that Liu Bowen refused to speak clearly, Li Song had no choice but to open the bamboo slips in his hand and take a closer look, "So that's it! Not only the Xianbei invaded, but also the Yellow Turban bandits on Wo Niu Mountain, who somehow ran to Yanmen County to harass them." .”

"That's right! Xianbei and the Yellow Scarves teamed up to harass Yanmen County. If it is not stopped, it may affect the reputation and popularity of the lord." Liu Bowen said.

Liu Bowen carefully analyzed the current situation and possible future consequences for Li Song, but at this time Li Song was not in the mood to listen carefully, he was distracted.

I remember that Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, who were born in the Yellow Turban Army, ran to Wo Niu Mountain to occupy the mountain and became kings, and finally met Guan Erye, brother Qianlixun, and finally followed Guan Erye as a deputy general, and even heard about Guan Yubing After being defeated, he committed suicide.

Zhou Cang is also a loyal person. As for Pei Yuanshao, this guy was shot and killed by Zhao Yun when he was robbing Zhao Yun. Li Song couldn't help but associate the name Woniushan with Zhou Cang in his heart.

"My lord, what do you think of the way I said it?" Liu Bowen asked, not knowing the person in front of him at all, he was distracted just now, and didn't listen to a word at all.

"Oh! Good, not bad!" Li Song came back to his senses with a dazed expression, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer indiscriminately.

"It turned out to be so! My lord, please send troops to reinforce Yanmen County immediately, so as not to have long nights and dreams! I suggest that General Xiang Yu be the commander after all." Seeing that Li Song agreed with his opinion, Liu Bowen immediately proposed a candidate for the lead.

"No! This time I will personally lead the army! I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say more!" Li Song vetoed Liu Bowen's decision to let Xiang Yu lead the army, and at the same time blocked the possibility of Liu Bowen's persuasion.

"No! This subordinate resigns!" Liu Bowen, who wanted to persuade Li Song to give up the idea of ​​personally leading the army, looked at Li Song's firm eyes and had no choice but to leave.

But before setting off, make a call first, and hope that this time you can call out famous generals who can beat these nomads, Li Song thought to himself as he watched Liu Bowen leave.
