Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 102 Huangfusong Pleads Credit for Liu Qing (Subscribe)

Once the butterfly's wings are flapped, everything is quietly accelerating.

The destruction of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan East County and other places forced many interested people to take risks in advance.

The Qiang and Hu tribes who were originally scheduled to rebel in winter, took advantage of Zhang Jiao's surviving time to revolt. Because Zuo Chang, the governor of Liangzhou, concealed the report, the rebel forces expanded rapidly, and finally reached the point where he couldn't stop him.

The news of Xiliang's rebellion spread to Luoyang, shocking the court.

After the news of the fall of Jincheng County reached Luoyang, Liu Hong started to work hard again. He and his ministers kept an eye on the battlefield of Liangzhou every day.

Although the news of the Yellow Turban riots from all over the country still flew into Luoyang like snowflakes, the most important forces at present, including the Zhang Jiao brothers, have all been destroyed.

Small-scale local rebellions can barely be dealt with by the prefectures and counties, but the Xiliang rebellion threatens the land of Sanfu, Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng, which can be said to be Luoyang's backyard.

Now the rebels have completely occupied Jincheng County, and Hanyang County is in jeopardy.

After He Jin proclaimed himself a general, he was in charge of the country's military. Thousands of soldiers and horses were like envoys. He was majestic for a while, but after the majesty passed, frequent incidents happened, which really made him exhausted.

"Your Majesty, the governor of Hanyang, Shi Gaixun, gave a performance. The new governor, Song Xiao, is not familiar with military affairs, so he ordered every household in Liangzhou to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" to demonstrate the principles of morality. He hopes to use this to influence the people of Liangzhou. Gai Xun besieged Ji County, the seat of Hanyang County, and asked for reinforcements."

He Jin's voice was very soft. When this happened, his face also felt dull. Yuan Kai, who recommended Song Xiao, wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Among the officials, there seemed to be smothered laughter.

"My lord, please remove Song Xiao quickly and replace him with Yang Yong." Yuan Kui said bravely, in order to stop the loss in time, he also put up his old face.

"Quasi-playing." Liu Hong replied without any fluctuation.

Yuan Kui said again: "Your Majesty, I have reappointed Xia Yu as the captain of the Qiang Guard, and led the troops to help Hanyang."

"But it's Song Xiao and his ilk again!" Liu Hong looked at Yuan Kai and mocked him.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this person was originally Duan Yan who protected the Qiang battalion Sima. He made countless achievements in fighting the Qiang people. Later, he became the prefect of Beidi County and repelled the Xianbei invasion several times."

"I just remembered that Xiping failed in the six-year crusade against Xianbei, and there was this person."

When Yuan Kai heard this, he was embarrassed. He didn't expect Liu Hong to have such a good memory, and he revealed the truth to Xia Yu as soon as he opened his mouth, but he didn't know why he lost that battle!
Going hundreds of miles into the Xianbei territory, is it Huo Qubing?
At this time, a notification suddenly came from outside the hall, "General Huangfu, Zuo Zhonglang, is here!"

All the officials were suddenly solemn and looked out of the hall one after another.

"Quickly call!" Liu Hong said urgently, thinking in his heart: Xiliang is a gang of thugs, and the affairs of Xiliang must be handed over to the generals of Xiliang!
"Your Majesty..." Zhang Rang seemed to have read Liu Hong's heart, and said aloud, "Don't forget why you ordered Huangfusong to come back."

But Liu Hong ignored it, he knew very well who was used for war and who was used for making people.

Huangfusong entered the hall, and said: "My minister, Huangfusong, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"General Huangfu, it's been a hard journey. I didn't expect the general to return to Luoyang so soon." Liu Hong said.

"Your Majesty called urgently, and I dare not delay."

"General Huangfu, the reason why I urgently order you back is because of a major incident in Liangzhou. The Qianghu rebels have captured the entire county of Jincheng and a part of Longxi, and Hanyang is also in danger. I hope that General Huangfu will go in person!"

"Your Majesty should share your worries!" Huangfusong said respectfully, completely oblivious to the expressions of the surrounding officials and the servants.

All officials know that Liu Hong recalled Huangfu Song because of his meritorious deeds for Liu Qing. Unexpectedly, when the Liangzhou incident happened, it was because Zuo Chang and Song Xiao were so ugly that Liu Hong changed his mind temporarily.

"The imperial decree was passed down, Huangfu Song pacified the Yellow Turban, made great achievements all over the world, and named him Zuocheqi General, led Jizhou Mu, Jin Huailihou, and eight thousand households in Shiyi!"

Liu Hong was generous for a rare time, and his voice was angry for a rare time, even mixed with a little complacency. His voice echoed in the ears of all officials, and the information in it made them a little bit overwhelmed.

Liu Hong's award was like a giant needle piercing into the heads of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhongzhi, making them grit their teeth and hate it!It hurts!So sour!

Call it back and you'll almost bring it down, just that!
"Chen, thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Huangfu Song knelt down on the ground and said gratefully, "But I have something to play!"

"General but say!"

"Your Majesty, please reward Liu Qing!"

Liu Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, and all the officials frowned deeply. The Sifu stared at the man who was as tall as the Sangong in front of him. The eunuchs lowered their heads and glared at him sullenly.

Huangfusong went on to say, "In the Battle of the Yellow Turban, Liu Qing helped the four counties with a small number of righteous soldiers. It is obvious to all that Liu Qing has made great contributions to the country and the people, Your Majesty must not listen to the words of the courtiers and bury my pillar of man!"

Huangfu Song's words were deafening, and all the officials were excited when they heard it. This is going to confront the eunuchs and traitors head-on!
"General Huangfu, don't forget that Liu Qing is a traitor, how can he be reused!" Zhao Zhongyin said strangely.

"Zhao Zhong! Shut up!" Huangfu Song said angrily, "Er is a regular attendant in the palace, dare to talk about military affairs in court!"

Zhao Zhong was deflated by Huangfusong's words, and Zhang Rang immediately stood up for him, "Huangfusong, how dare you roar in front of His Majesty!"

Huangfusong didn't pay any attention to it, and continued: "Your Majesty, Liu Qing was born as a child when his father's incident happened, not to mention that His Majesty demoted him to be a commoner and already punished him. Now that Liu Qing has made meritorious service, he should be rewarded according to the law. The military law of the Han Dynasty is a trifling matter! Your Majesty, Liu Qing’s meritorious service was witnessed and heard by the officers and men in the army. If the rewards are not awarded, the officers and men will not have the heart to perform meritorious service, and they will shake their will to fight to the death. ? Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Liu Hong fell into deep thought, he didn't care about Huangfusong's confrontation with the eunuch, and he didn't really care that much about Liu Qing's meritorious deeds, but Huangfusong said a little bit that he was on his mind.

The rewards and punishments of the Han army are clear, is it going to be destroyed by one person?
Of course not!

Local governments can sell officials if they cannot collect taxes, and they can be ordered to recruit troops if they are in chaos, but the Han army cannot be chaotic. Huang Fusong is right!

"What General Huangfu said is very true!" Liu Hong said, "According to the General, what reward should Liu Qing do?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Mr. Liu Qing is well-mannered and able to convince the public. All the volunteers he recruited are willing to fight to the death for him, and they will be rewarded with their merits. I think that he can be the post of prefect, and he can be named a marquis!"

All the officials thought: Huangfu Songzhen's words are not shocking, and he will die endlessly, but Liu Qing is white, and he will directly be the prefect and seal the prince?

Isn't it child's play!But after another thought, His Majesty clearly marked the price, it's more child's play, the prefect will be the prefect, the great Han has hundreds of counties in the world, so why not separate one county!

"He Jin!" Liu Hong said.

"The minister is here!" He Jin stepped forward.

"The prefect of Yanmen, please go back to Taiyuan County to recuperate, yes! Liu Qing is ordered to be the prefect of Yanmen, and bestowed on the Marquis of Guannei!"

He Jin: "Follow the order!"

Huangfusong: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"General Huangfu will take a rest today and leave tomorrow, so this is the deal for today!"

"Your Majesty! I still have something to do!" Huangfu Song said.

Liu Hong frowned, "What's the matter?"

"When I was going to Jizhou, I passed through Ye County, and accidentally found that the residence of Zhao Zhongzhi, the permanent servant of Zhongchang, exceeded the regulations. Please confiscate it!"

Zhao Zhong's face was pale, and his eyes seemed to eat people.

Liu Hong was so annoyed that he said casually, "Quick play!"
