Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 186 Xiliang Army Enters Sanfu, Liu Hong's Miserable Life
When the cold dew reached the frost, planting wheat panicked.

Now that the autumn harvest is over, the fields are busy again, planting winter wheat.

This year is still a drought year, and the average grain production in Changshan County is not high, but Shengzai has opened up many new lands this year. In addition, the county government is coordinating farming affairs, and the public security is stable, and the production volume is much higher than last year.

However, the weather in Yu County was favorable and the harvest was bumper.

According to the agreement, after the surrendered soldiers return the borrowed grain, interest will be paid, and there is still a lot of surplus grain.

Many of them, after the autumn harvest, claimed that they would serve Cai's eldest son-in-law, Mr. Liu Qing, and grow grain for him in the future. Even if they chose to stay in Yu County, the local big households would benefit from the benefits, and the harvest would be more stable than in previous years, so they would be happy. Continue to produce in this mode.

Liu Qing stayed in the Yuan Clan and continued to pay attention to the trends in various places. Tian Feng was busy with county affairs, and Ju Shou was busy making wine. Every time Tian Feng returned to the Yuan Clan, he would criticize Ju Shou, even though he was a Shangguan in name.

Guo Jia is now the head of Tao, and Zhao Yungao and Zhu Lingsan chased the Black Mountain Army into Zhongshan County, besieging more than ten thousand Black Mountain Army in a mountain between Lunu County and Shangquyang County.

And Guo Jia also set up camp outside Lunu County in a grand manner, and from time to time he even led troops into the city for a stroll.

Since the defection of the former Zhongshan Prime Minister Zhang Chun, Zhongshan County has been directly under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Department. Now the Governor Wang Fen is at large. For a while, the counties in Zhongshan are doing their own thing. Very popular with them.

To what extent is the welcome, Guo Jia said that they are welcome with money and women.

No wonder Guo Jia was reluctant to come back from this business trip.

Wang Fen has not been arrested yet, he and Cao Cao are old acquaintances, and Liu Qing is aware of the strangeness.

He just wanted to take the opportunity to stay outside.

As for Wang Fen's successor, Jia Cong, the governor of Jiaozhi, has a good reputation for integrity. He is coming from Jiaozhi. name.

Liu Qing said: something will happen!

Liu Qing appreciates this kind of talent who is both capable and capable.

A continuous autumn rain came, and Liu Qing watched the rain in the corridor. Although the rain made him unable to go out, he didn't hate it at all.

Because rainwater is so precious these days!
"The autumn dew falls to moisten the dry well, and the high wind blows to blow the old piano."

A pleasant recitation came from behind, Liu Qing smiled knowingly, and turned around.

"Ma'am is so excited!"

Cai Yan smiled sweetly, as if he could see that Liu Qing was thinking. In the past few days, Liu Qing often looked to the south, more precisely, to the southwest.

"What is your husband thinking?"

"I'm thinking about Chang'an. Liangzhou rebels invaded Sanfu again. I don't know what's going on now." Liu Qing said.

"Didn't it mean that Han Sui and Ma Teng had been attacking Chencang for a long time and it was difficult to get off?" Cai Yan said, Cai Yan read the letter of this news to Liu Qing.

Having said that, Liu Qing also knows, but there is still an uncertain factor——

Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army.

……

In the upper reaches of the Weishui River Valley, Huangfusong was leading his army to pursue the defeated army of the kingdom. Although Han Suimateng was unwilling, after Huangfusong arrived, he completely gave up Chencang.

Both of them knew that with this retreat, they would definitely not be able to attack Han again this year, because winter was coming.

"General Zuo, our army has chased for a hundred miles. If we chase again, we will enter the border of Liangzhou." Chief Shi Liang Yan reminded.

"This battle has achieved quite a lot. Killing enemies along the way, I'm afraid there are more than ten thousand levels, is really a great achievement! It's a pity that Zhongying didn't follow me in pursuit, hahaha!" Huangfusong laughed.

"General, this matter should not be publicized too much. Dong Zhuo is now a high-ranking and powerful man. He is no longer a reckless hero in the past. He is open-minded and generous. He is stationed in the Chencang barracks. I have already noticed that he has some quarrels with the general." Liang Yan reminded.

Huangfusong thought about it, and it was indeed as Liang Yan said, he communicated with Dong Zhuo several times, it seemed that he didn't cooperate with him, the former him was not like this.

Is it because of the high status and weight now?Or are you proud of taking credit for the Battle of Meiyang?
Huangfusong has never been good at guessing people's hearts, so he simply didn't want to, and said casually: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the danger of Chen Cang has been resolved, and you and I have fulfilled our mission. As for the next step, His Majesty may let me recover Hanyang County, and even the entire Liangzhou .”

"Recapturing Liangzhou, it's already autumn harvest, and the army rations are sufficient, but this amount of troops is not enough!"

"Let's go, go back to Chencang first!" Huangfusong ordered to stop the pursuit and withdraw his troops to return.

At this time, a fast horse rushed up to Huangfusong and reported: "General Qi, there is a large army ahead!"

Army? !
Huangfusong and Liang Yan's eyes widened, "Is it the rebels?"

The cavalier thought for a while, and replied: "It's a miscellaneous army, with both Han armor and Qiang leather."

"That's it!" Huangfu Song said.

With the fall of Hanyang County and Ma Teng's rebellion, many Han troops joined the rebel army, and it was normal to use Hanyang County's armor and weapons.

"How many people?" Liang Yan asked.

"Several people are in the same row, and you can't see the side at a glance!" Said the whistle.

Huangfusong and Liang Yan looked at each other and found that the matter was not simple. Is this reinforcement from the rebel army?
It seems that there is no other possibility.

"Quickly retreat!" Huangfusong ordered.

……

Li Jue led the leaders, talked eloquently all the way, and led his troops eastward.

The reason why it is called the leader is because there is still a seal. Li Jue said that he will be named a general after he has made contributions to Dong Zhoumu in the future.

On the way here, the Qiang people who were not allowed to escape were recruited to join, especially those who entered the territory of Youfufeng, and the number increased significantly. Li Jue judged that a certain leader of the Qiang people should have entered Youfufeng again.

"The Qiang people have been beaten again in Youfufeng, and I don't know which tribe they belong to." Li Jue said, and Li Jue accepted all the Qiang people who passed by and asked for shelter.

"Who are you?" Li Jue asked one of them.

"People in Huangzhong."

This is already a dozen.

Li Jue has seen the fighting power of Huangzhong people before.

"Who is your head?"

"Han Sui," the man replied.

Han Sui?Did he hit Right Fufeng again?Li Jue was a little surprised, didn't he just take down Hanyang County?Is this going to score Sansuke again?
But it looked like they were defeated again. This time, it was unknown whether it was Zhang Wen or Huangfusong.

"Brother, Han Sui is quite famous in Liangzhou!" Guo Si reminded.

"Hey, you are quite famous, and you will be defeated by General Dong anyway! As long as you follow General Dong, no, Dong Zhoumu, let alone a mere general, high-ranking officials and rich salary, money, food and women, everything you expect!" Li Jue shouted.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

The rest of the leaders also echoed.

"I don't want high-ranking officials and generous salaries. The main thing is to support my brothers, my nephew and my wife. That's enough. People treat Wuwei!" Zhang Ji was wearing a leather hat with a decorated brim. The animal hair was made by his wife Zou himself.

"Brother Zhang Ji is really the master of the Gu family. He even brought his mother-in-law with him. You all should learn from it! Hahaha!" Li Jue laughed, "If you want me to say, when we become famous, there will be no mother-in-law. The mother-in-law in the Central Plains , could it be worse than the yellow-faced woman in the wasteland of Liangzhou! Hahaha!"

"Brother Li Jue's words are wrong, that's because you have never seen..."

Wang Fang just wanted to say that Mrs. Zhang Ji is a superb beauty, but was interrupted by Zhang Ji's gun. The two are from the same hometown and know each other well. Wang Fang immediately understood Zhang Ji's intention.

This is because he wanted to hide his charm, so he changed his mouth and said: "You have never met his nephew, he is very young, and he is good at shooting with a gun. I guess many of us are not his opponents!"

"real or fake?"

"Wang Fang, just brag, we have already seen your bragging skills!" Hu Zhen laughed.

"You can try it if you don't believe me!" Wang Fang said unconvinced, isn't Zhang Xiu here!
Everyone looked at Zhang Xiu, who was silently following behind Zhang Ji, and saw that he was holding a gun and looking forward firmly, as if he hadn't heard the people discussing him at all.

"Brother Li Jue, Yi Cong in Huangzhong is the elite of Han Sui's army. Even in the battle of Meiyang, he retreated completely. If he loses this battle, it means that Han Sui's defeat is complete. The general can send someone to investigate and gather him. !" Fan Chou, Han Sui's old subordinate, suggested, bringing the distorted topic back to war.

"It's reasonable! Although I haven't fought against him personally, Huang Zhongyi is very famous in the Han army. General Zhou Shen met him almost repeatedly in battle and defeat." Li Jue said.

Li Jue led the army and marched eastward all the way. In addition to the scattered Qiang army, there were also traces of battles along the route. With the introduction of joining the Qiang people, he already had a general understanding of You Fufeng.

"I originally planned to join Dong Zhoumu, but since Huangfu Song, Sun Jian and other generals are stationed in Chencang, we can't go!" Li Jue said.

"Why?" Guo Si asked.

"Dong Zhoumu has no military power in his hands. If we join, we will be suspected of supporting the army. We will go north from here, cross the tributaries of the Weishui River, and go straight to Mei County from the north of the Weishui River."

"and then?"

"Hmph, wait, wait until the Son of Heaven dies, Luoyang will be in chaos!" Li Jue laughed.

……

Outside Luoyang, in the West Garden.

Zhao Zhong sent the imperial physician away with suspicion on his face, and Zhang Rang walked over calmly.

"How is Your Majesty?" Zhang Rang asked.

"The disease has entered the internal organs, and His Majesty still cannot eat. The imperial physician said that it is not easy to survive this year."

"What! Doesn't that mean that there are only a few months left?" Zhang Rang said in surprise.

Zhao Zhong squinted and said, "This may be our time."

"No!" Zhang Rang dismissed the idea without thinking, "Do you remember how the old master taught us?"

Zhao Zhong turned around and looked at Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang stretched out his hand and grabbed it, saying: "We have lost our lifeblood, but we must grasp our destiny!"

Zhang Rang took a deep look at the deep palace in Xiyuan and said, "We must be prepared!"

"What can Zhang Changshi do?" Zhao Zhong asked.

"I've heard that He Jin doesn't get along with He Miao, and he doesn't get along with He Hou either. If we turn the two of them against each other and win He Hou back, there may be a turning point in this matter." Zhang Rang said.

"Even if the two don't get along, but their surnames are He, don't you know that they are not close, this matter is probably extremely difficult." Zhao Zhongdao.

"Changshi Zhao is worrying too much. Why does He Hou think of herself as a member of the He family? She only wants Liu Bian to be on the throne. If our ten servants fully support Liu Bian, she will accept it!"

Zhao Zhong thought for a while, and it was indeed the case, "Empress He is not enough to rely on the He family. If she becomes the queen mother, the He family will probably have to rely on her again."

This kind of butcher's daughter is short-sighted and the easiest to deceive. If this can be done, Liu Bian will be in charge and deal with her again, and the ten permanent servants will be able to shine again.

Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty will let you watch over there. I will take a walk around the Empress He. Remember, Your Majesty is fine!"

Zhao Zhong nodded, smiled sinisterly, glanced towards the palace, and repeated: "Your Majesty is fine!"

……

Liu Hong got up with difficulty, and a little Huangmen hurriedly leaned on a cushion.

Liu Hong gritted his teeth, and every time he exerted force on his abdomen, he would feel cramps.

"Your Majesty, do you want to eat?"

Liu Hong actually wanted to use it, but when he thought about the pain of eating, he might as well endure the hunger.

He ignored the yellow door, waved his hand casually, motioned him to leave, and then looked up at the curtain above in a daze.

In the past few days, he has often been like this. He used to be obsessed with poetry and women, but he didn't realize that being in a daze could also be a kind of fun.

"Is this the feeling of hunger?" Liu Hongxin said, "Those people who don't have enough to eat feel this way all day long."

"No wonder they want to turn against me." Liu Hong muttered again.

"But I can't do anything about it. My money is saved by selling officials. I also spent my own money to build the West Garden. The place is running short every year, and Bianjun still needs me to subsidize them."

Liu Hong thought of the foreign war some time ago.

"I put down the rebellion of the four clans, which was unprecedented in the pre-Han! Although I lost Liangzhou, I also agree with Cui Situ's view that keeping Liangzhou is just a bottomless pit that wastes money and food."

"There are still several states without state shepherds." Liu Hong thought for a while, but couldn't think of any candidates for a while.

According to Liu Yan's intention, it is best to be a clan member of the Han family. Liu Hong knew in his heart that the state shepherd who was assigned was actually like a prince.

"I know in the imperial court that the censor Liu Yao, Zongzheng Liu Chong, Sikong official Liu Biao, and another Chen Wang Liu Chong are all capable people, but they are not meritorious enough to be directly promoted."

For no reason, Liu Hong thought of Liu Qing again.

"Hey..." Liu Hong sighed, "It's not that I want to kill your father, the King of Bohai, but that the general Dou Wu knew that the emperor's edict came first, so he kept it secret and made me emperor privately. He and Taifu Chen The wild wolf is ambitious, and he is not satisfied with the power of the government and the people. He wants to kill the eunuchs and kill them in the end, hehe..."

Liu Hong sneered, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank them. If they hadn't fought the eunuchs to the death, when would I be able to take power, maybe I would still be reduced to their puppet like the previous emperors..."

"I, Liu Hong, at least, am not a puppet!"

Thinking about it, Liu Hong seemed to recall the time in Hejian Kingdom in the early years. Life at that time was not like living in a palace, but it was comfortable and comfortable. He suddenly wanted to eat wild loach.

"Come on!" Liu Hong called out.

Xiao Huangmen entered and knelt down, "Your Majesty."

"Send someone to catch some dolphins in the river!"

"Ah? Loach?" Huang Men said that he had never heard of it, with a look of panic.

Liu Hong was awakened by it. It turned out that he was thinking too deeply. What is so delicious about that thing is just a childhood obsession.

At this time, Zhao Zhong came in, and seeing Xiao Huangmen lost his composure, he asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Liu Hong took a deep look at Zhao Zhong, "It's all right, let's get ready for dinner."
