Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 156 The Four Houses Compete for Winning, Liu Qing is Promoted to Noble

The battle in Meiyang was in full swing, but Liu Qing lingered in Chang'an and did not participate. As far as the current situation is concerned, the problem of foreigners has been basically solved, and the remaining little credits will be given to those generals.

Especially General Dong, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who Liu Qing took care of.

As long as he intercepts Mei County, it is almost impossible for the Qiang people to escape unscathed. Maybe he will intercept and kill them for military exploits, maybe he will subdue and strengthen himself, or maybe he will show kindness and make them escape in vain. After all, Dong Zhuo Befriend the Qiang people as a child.

These are not within their control.

The time soon came to the beginning of June, around the time of ear seeding, that is, when the summer crops such as late valley, millet, and millet were being sown.

I believe that the area under my own jurisdiction must be very busy.

Suddenly looking back, only half a year has passed since the Yellow Turban Uprising. If history is counted, at this time, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun were probably still fighting in Yingchuan, and it would be a few months before Zhang Jiao died of illness.

But now, everything was smashed to pieces by Liu Qing, the butterfly fan.

In just a few months, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, and in just a few months, the alien rebellion was quelled. Not only Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, but also Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and other fierce generals were subdued.

According to the plan, after the three-step walk of the Pingwai clan, if the expectations are not bad, you can grow with peace of mind for a period of time.

Half a year of war has made the big man precarious, and just a month ago, when 20 foreign troops approached, the imperial court even sent out the left and right Habayashi.

Still in Chang'an, Zheng Wei provided Liu Qing with a temporary residence. Zhao Qi, Zhang Wen's long history, left for the front line not long after, and invited Liu Qing to come before leaving, but Liu Qing had no intention of doing so.

I have called you here, can't you enjoy it?

Isn't it delicious in the little days of sneaking in?

In the past few days, Guo Jia went out every day, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei competed with weapons all day long, and Zhang Liao practiced martial arts with the two, but Liu Qing, lazy and in charge, also spent a few days without shame.

Qianying's waist strength is really good!

Every time Liu Qing finished sweating profusely, he lay on his back on the bed, stared blankly at the tent, and thought in his heart: "Take control, let's go back to Yanmen tomorrow!"

Imagination gradually turned into emotion, and emotion turned into faint guilt.

Sage time, probably so.

On that day, Guo Jia came looking for him and said to Liu Qing, "My lord, report from the front line. The danger of Meiyang has been resolved, and my lord can go back!"

Vacation is over?It seems that Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo are also going well.

"Since everything is fine, I will return to Yanmen as soon as possible. I am looking forward to it. What does Yanmen look like now?" Liu Qing replied with a smile.

"Shouldn't the lord go back to Changshan, the mistress should have arrived."

Feng Xiao is right!Liu Qing suddenly became concerned about Zhaoji.

"Since this is the case, our army will pass through Hedong County, Taiyuan County, and return directly to Changshan."

"One more thing. General Huangfu sent a letter. He and General Zhu didn't see any Xianbei people leaving Liangshan, so the remnants of Xianbei should have fled north."

This is a pity. This area is full of desolate mountains. It is really difficult for the Xianbei army to flee north to the desolate Shuofang County.

Then one day, they will return to the desert and grassland and become Liu Qing's enemies again.

"If this disaster is not eliminated, it will become a major disaster!" Liu Qing said conclusively. Now that foreign enemies are around, the court can maintain balance. As soon as the foreign troubles disappear, Luoyang will immediately fall into a power struggle. If there is conflict, there will be killing , Liu Qing really didn't want to get involved.

Instead, send a representative.

Xianbei is different, if its ghost persists, it will seriously interfere with the order in the rear, and it will take a lot of time to destroy it, and it will not be clean.

"My lord, how about supporting Qianman and imitating his ancestor Tan Shihuai to unify Xianbei?" Guo Jia suggested.

Liu Qing disagreed. If he really wanted to do this, he would have to wait until the big man was completely stabilized.

"It's not right at this time. When external troubles are eliminated, internal troubles will come. But it's okay to use Xianbei to control Xianbei." Liu Qing laughed.

Guo Jia nodded and changed the subject, "Master, Baibogu..."

"You guessed it too?"

"I'm familiar with the lord, and he can influence the decision-making of the Yellow Turban Army. He happened to disappear, so I really can't think of others." Guo Jia guessed, "I just don't know if Zhang Ning is hostile to the lord at this time."

Liu Qing shook his head, "Probably not."

“How come you see?”

Liu Qing smiled, without an answer, he could only joke: "Intuition!"

……

Outside Luoyang, West Garden.

Since the establishment of the Xiyuan Army, Liu Hong hadn't been to the great court much, at most he had only summoned important officials such as the Four Houses and the Nine Ministers to discuss in the West Garden.

Since the news of the rebellion in Youzhou reached Luoyang, Liu Hong took some symbolic measures. Until today, the news of the victory of Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei was really a rare joy.

"My lords, Gongsun Zan is here, but I have one thing on my mind, so how should I reward you?"

"Your Majesty, you can pay homage to General Zhonglang and seal the capital as a waiting room. In addition, Liu Bei should also be rewarded for his meritorious assistance!"

"Liu Bei? Who is he?" Liu Hong asked curiously.

The minister who was reinstated ordered Lu Zhi to stand up and say, "Your Majesty, Liu Bei's name is Xuande, he is from Zhuo County, and he is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. This person and Gongsun Zan are both my students."

"Oh? He is actually a clan member of the Han Dynasty? How brave is he? What was Liu Bei's previous position?" Liu Hong asked.

"Liu Bei has made great achievements in beheading the Yellow Turban, so he should be granted the title of Captain of Julu County. The meritorious service in this battle should be rewarded as appropriate." He Jin suggested.

"Is there any objection?" Liu Hong looked around, but no one made a sound.

Zhao Zhong stepped forward and reminded without losing the opportunity, "Your Majesty, the family members of the Han family, you need to carefully examine."

Liu Hongshen thought so, how could he be a clan member of the Han family just because his surname was Liu?

"Then let him be made the county magistrate!" Liu Hong cut to the chase, "Besides, I have thought a lot about the Youzhou matter, Liu Yu listens to the edict!"

Liu Yu, who had just been promoted to Zongzheng, stepped forward to salute.

"Bo'an, you used to be the governor of Youzhou, but now there are frequent turmoil in Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan temporarily gained the upper hand. You have a good understanding of the Wuhuan issue, so I ordered you to be the shepherd of Youzhou!"

As soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, all the ministers sighed. This is Liu Hongfeng's third state shepherd, Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou. The first two are Huangfusong, shepherd of Jizhou, and Liu Yan, shepherd of Yizhou.

Except for Huangfusong, who was acquired for his military exploits, the rest were conferred by Liu Hong himself, and their identities were all relatives of the Han family.

The minds of all the officials are like a mirror, especially the old foxes like Yuan Kai. Your Majesty wants to create a new force, with the Han and Liu as the axis, starting from a remote continent.

"The minister leads the imperial edict!" Liu Yu said.

Liu Hong asked some other questions. At this time, a little yellow man came running quickly!

"His Majesty--"

Shouting while running, "Your Majesty, General Huangfu urgently reports!"

Zhao Zhong was clever, stepped forward to take it quickly, and handed it to Liu Hong carefully.

Liu Hong took it casually, opened it and read it.

Looking at His Majesty's expression, Zhao Zhong gradually relaxed his brows, his expression gradually became more joyful, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems to be good news.

"Hahahaha——" Liu Hong laughed out loud after seeing halfway through, seeing that the army of the Southern Huns had been destroyed and the army of Xianbei had fled.

The ministers looked at each other.

"Masters, the crisis in Hedong has been resolved, the entire army of the Southern Huns was wiped out, and the Xianbei army fled into the mountains, hahaha—" Liu Hong muttered happily!
The Southern Huns were completely wiped out?Xianbei fled?
Isn't it called the coalition army of [-]?Huangfu Song led the left and right Habayashi, how can they fight against an army of [-], even Ding Yuan's army is far from enough!
Doubts arose in the hearts of the ministers.

Liu Hong himself was also very curious, to defeat the strong with the weak?Still wiped out?Is Huangfu Song really so magical?
With anticipation, Liu Hong simply read it in class:
"...The minister attacked from the Pi family, led the troops across the river, and then went south with the governor of Ding Yuan and the prefect of Liu Qing to pursue them. The Xianbei army wanted to go out of the valley to attack Zuo Fengyi. The army of people, defending the tens of thousands of Xianbei troops to besiege..."

Liu Hong couldn't help but stop and praise: "Great General Dong!"

Then read: "The Xianbei army lost ground, had nowhere to go, so they had to kill the horses and flee over the mountains with the horse meat! My whole army gathered in Xiayang and went to Meiyang, Guanzhong, to help Zhang Sikong."

After reading this, Liu Hong suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment!

Huangfusong said that there is a way to solve the danger of Meiyang as he rushed to help Guanzhong. If it goes well, it might take less than a month to drive the Qiang army out of Sanfu.

"Your Majesty, did the letter say why the Southern Huns were destroyed?" He Jin asked, as if he had never heard this.

Liu Hong thought so too, so he read on: "In this battle, Ding Shishi guarded the river valley and did not send a single soldier into the hinterland of Hedong, but General Dong marched into Xiayang in advance. , not giving an inch, and Liu Taishou..."

After reading this, Liu Hong was once again taken aback. Prefect Liu is Liu Qing, and there has been no news about the Southern Huns so far. Could it be... Liu Hong suddenly had a bad intuition.

Huangfu, what kind of broken Spring and Autumn style is this!
Liu Hong suddenly lost his mood and stopped reading, but read it quietly by himself.

Ministers:? ? ?
Sure enough, if he was afraid of what he saw, he would come for it. After Liu Qing repelled Yanmen Xianbei, he led his troops to attack the Southern Huns' royal court, surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao. With fire, the entire army of the Southern Huns was burned at a small price, and then went south...

Liu Hong's complexion became not very good.

The ministers were suddenly interrupted by Liu Hong's key position, and felt uncomfortable like a cat scratching a monkey, but seeing Liu Hong's expression after reading the letter, he didn't dare to ask again.

This is really... He Jin shook his head helplessly, actually he would have some.

"General!" Liu Hong suddenly shouted.

"Your Majesty!" He saluted, looking forward to it.

"Liu Qing, alone, retreated the soldiers of the Yanmen Gate, attacked the royal court of the Southern Huns, and wiped out the army of the Southern Huns with a small loss. How can we reward him?" Liu Hong said coldly.

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, did Liu Qing destroy the entire army of the Southern Huns by himself?No wonder His Majesty can't pronounce it. It is estimated that seeing this name has made such a great contribution, it feels like eating shit.

There are also those few eunuchs, each of them looks ashen, but in He Jin's view, they are as beautiful as amiable faces.

Scared you dog eunuchs to death!He Jin said angrily in his heart.

"Your Majesty, if it is true as General Huangfu said, Liu Taishou's use of troops is unpredictable. Your Majesty has the heart to establish a shepherd, and Liu Qing is a clan relative. Why not..." He Jinyi was dull, and suddenly glanced at Yuan who was not far away. Wei, thinking to himself, he might as well sell this favor to Liu Qing.

"It's better to establish him as the shepherd of Bingzhou and secure the north forever!"

Liu Hong's face turned cold, and he laughed in his heart: Uncle He Guo, why are you pretending to be stupid, don't you know that I watched the King of Bohai die tragically, and his whole family was wiped out?

"I also agree with what the general said!" Yuan Kai suddenly said, in fact, the emperor didn't ask him, he was not qualified to comment, and it was the responsibility of the four prefectures to award rewards according to merit.

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong looked at each other, and for the first time there was no objection.

They thought that if Liu Qing was granted the title of Bingzhou Shepherd, without being summoned by His Majesty, he would almost certainly not come to Luoyang, and they would feel at ease. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with exchanging a Bingzhou Shepherd with only deserts and mountains for their peace. it is good.

Liu Hong looked at his two dogs coldly, but this time he didn't stand up and bite He Jin and Yuan Kai.

"Your Majesty, although Mr. Liu Qing has made great achievements, he is only seventeen years old and has no experience in governing the country. He is also a state shepherd. It has a lot to do with him. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Grand Tutor Deng Sheng stood up and said.

Both He Jin and Yuan Kai looked at him, and thought at the same time, what is this old guy doing?

"Then according to the Taifu's opinion, what should be the reward?"

"At his age, although he is good at fighting, it is enough to lead a county, and the title reward should be the main reward!" Deng Sheng said.

"Teacher may wish to speak bluntly."

"He alone solved the crisis in the east of the river and made great contributions. Bingzhou is barren and sparsely populated. Why not choose a county from Yanmen County to seal it off."

"County Marquis?" Yuan Kai raised his brows and skipped directly to Tinghou Township Marquis. Deng Sheng is generous, but what he said is also reasonable. A border county like Yanmen may only have more than 1000 households in a county, which is different from that in the Central Plains. County is not the same.

"In this way, it will not only appear to be your Majesty's grace, but also avoid being unworthy."

Liu Hong thought for a while, Deng Sheng's compromise seems to be really good!

"That's right, Situ, where do you think is suitable?"

Huang Wan stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, since Liu Qing has made great achievements with martial arts, it is appropriate for Wuzhou County of Yanmen County to govern [-] households."

"Then pass an edict that Liu Qing annihilate the southern Xiongnu's army, relieve the crisis in Hedong, and make him Marquis of Wuzhou, with two thousand households in Shiyi!" Liu Hong said casually, but he was thinking about that question in his heart.

In the old days when foreign tribes invaded massively, would Liu Qing help him protect the big man just like the Yellow Turban?

How much hatred is there in his heart?
But compared to the imminent crisis in Hedong, Liu Qing is nothing.

After Liu Qing's award was over, Liu Hong seemed to have exhausted all his strength, so he left the court. He returned to the garden, and Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang followed closely behind, feeling uneasy.

Deng Sheng's suggestion was adopted, and he was very happy in his heart. Both He Jin and Yuan Kai were making contributions to it, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were trying to win him over first.

Last time, it was Huang Fusong who made great contributions to Liu Qing and did not hesitate to offend the eunuch.

In the Battle of Hedong, Huangfusong stationed at Pi's, directly abandoned the west of Dahe, and stationed at Hedong. It can be seen that he had neither soldiers nor clever tactics, and he was really biting the bullet.

But since Liu Qing joined, everything has changed. The Southern Huns and Xianbei were exterminated and fled. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, as the left and right chariot generals, are equivalent to picking up a big victory for nothing.

Deng Sheng is well aware of his physical condition, even if he survives this year, he will not be able to survive next year. He has no relationship like He Jin, and because he does not have the background of Yuan Shi, he must save for Deng Shi and his disciples within a limited time. under sufficient political resources.

Deng Sheng sat back in the carriage, and together with Zhu Qing's carriage, drove slowly from the West Garden to Luoyang.

In the car, he dozed off, then woke up suddenly.

"Taiyuan County is adjacent to Yanmen County, so I just ask my favorite student to move around!"
