Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 20 The Emperor of Han refused to seal Liu Qing

"Happy news?"

Liu Hong suddenly gained strength and sat up straight.

All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty pricked up their ears.

"Read it! Read it to me!"

The reporter breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately read: "The Huangjin Pengtuo tribe raised troops from Runan, occupied Chen County and Changping, then suddenly changed direction, led 4000 elite troops, and took a long-distance attack on Chenliu. The prefect Zhang Miao saw through it in advance and adopted the plan of inviting the king into the urn. Under the city of Chenliu, three thousand enemies were beheaded. Zhang Miao's nephew Zhang Su led the cavalry to ambush in advance. [-] people."

The messenger paused.

"Good! Zhang Miao is very good! Keep reading!"

"Peng Tuo's siege was frustrated, but he did not retreat. Instead, he launched a counterattack. Chen Liu was in danger. However, at this time, the cavalry of Liu Qingyi's army from Bohai to Yingchuan for reinforcements suddenly rushed out. , beheaded Peng Tuo, the Yellow Turban bandits will bestow their heads, all the remnants of the Yellow Turbans will surrender, and Peng Tuo's head has been delivered to Luoyang!"

As soon as the news of Peng Tuo's beheading came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked!
This is Qu Shuai of the army along the way. Peng Tuo and Bo Cai are in Yingchuan, and they are the horns of each other. The court also had to send two generals, Huang Fu Song and Zhu Jun, to deal with it. One must be alone.

Yingchuan is saved!
"Okay! Give me a reward! Give me a big reward!" Liu Hong was overjoyed, "You have made a contribution in delivering the newspaper, and you will be rewarded with [-] yuan, and you will be promoted to the first rank!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" The messenger hurriedly kowtowed.

All officials congratulated in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Unexpectedly, the turn of events in the war turned so quickly, Peng Tuobing made dangerous moves, his sword swayed, and finally killed himself.

"Tell me about it, how to reward meritorious ministers?"

The Taiwei Yuan Kui came out, "Your Majesty, Zhang Miao has been promoted to the prefect. If he didn't go to Beijing for promotion, he only needs to be promoted to a noble. His nephew is brave, so he can be named a captain and assist him in military and political affairs. It's just that Liu Qing from Bohai Sea, I don't know what it is." It's not Liu Qing, Liu Kui's orphan."

Liu Qing!

Liu Hong's pupils shrank suddenly, this name!

Just now, he was immersed in the joy of the battle report and hadn't noticed it yet, but at this time, Yuan Kai specifically raised it and reminded Liu Hong.

Liu Hong never forgot about the King of Bohai, and even dreamed of Emperor Huan several times, all of which were complaints from his own brother: King Liu Kui of Bohai has been demoted, why was he punished and died?

Liu Hong had guilt, guilt, and self-blame, but he just didn't have the courage to admit it. Even though he knew that King Bohai still had a descendant alive, he didn't think about correcting his mistakes.

He once asked Xu Yong, the Zuo Supervisor of Yulin, on this matter, and Xu Yongdao said: "Bohai King Liu Kui is the younger brother of the same mother of Emperor Huan. Adding crimes and killing the whole family must be the souls that cannot rest in peace, so Emperor Huan entrusted his dreams."

Liu Hong didn't want to listen to Xu Yongzhi's words, but today, in the court, he heard the news of Liu Qing again, and it was the news that he led the army to kill the enemy and beheaded the general for meritorious service.

"The power is like a broken bamboo, unrivaled. Among the ten thousand armies, kill Peng Tuo."

The information in the battle report could not help but become clear in his mind.

He is now considering whether to adopt Xu Yong's advice and restore the title of King Bohai.

The Yellow Turban is powerful, and the king's division has been repeatedly defeated. The first to kill the generals of the Yellow Turban was not the local officials appointed by the court, nor the few Zhonglang generals he temporarily worshiped, but the Bohai orphan who had not heard of it for more than ten years. .

The battle report stated that he was leading an army to assist Yingchuan, and had already arrived in Chenliu, faster than Cao Cao's reinforcements.

So, he is going to relieve the siege of Changsha?
He is suppressing the Yellow Turban for me, doesn't he hate me?
Liu Hong fell into deep thought, and the court fell into silence. No one dared to take a stand at this time, even if Liu Qing made great contributions, even if they all knew that the case of Bohai King Liu Kui was a case of unjust injustice.

No one dares to speculate on the holy will, and it has always been a taboo to concern the royal family.

"Jun Lang (Liu Yan's character), you are Zongzheng, and Liu Qing is a clan relative in the final analysis, so what should you say?"

Liu Yan was called out by name, knowing that he couldn't avoid it, and the matter of the emperor's relatives was his duty.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Liu Kui has been a matter of ten years, and it is not appropriate to bring it up again. Moreover, his crime of treason has not been proven, so Liu Qing should not be implicated. Liu Qing lost his title and had no news for more than ten years. Afterwards, in response to the imperial court's order, he led a volunteer army to save Yingchuan and made such a great contribution to Chen Liu, and I thought that the past suspicions should be ignored, and a reward should be awarded according to the merit!"

At the end, Liu Yan added: "In the final analysis, he, like the minister, is a descendant of the Liu family."

Liu Yan's emphatic emphasis on Liu's descendants is also to remind Liu Hong that the clan is too weak. For the past hundred years, foreign relatives and eunuchs have basically taken turns to control the government.

At this time, General He Jin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is the time for employing people, and Liu Qing's troops are the reinforcements closest to the Changsha. Mrs. Liu, Your Majesty should be happy!"

Hearing the opinions of the two powerful people, Liu Hong was slightly moved, but when he thought of Emperor Huan entrusting his dream, his back turned cold.

Liu Qing appeared at this time, what is the sign?
"Your Majesty." Zhang Rang called softly beside him.

With a strange voice, Liu Hong suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that there are more than a hundred members of Liu Kui's family, all of whom are blood relatives of Liu Qing."

Zhang Rang's voice was so soft that only Liu Hong could hear it, but his words pierced into his head like an awl, causing him an unbearable headache.

"I suddenly feel unwell. Liu Qing's matter is put on hold for the time being. Zhang Miao and Zhang Su's rewards will be discussed by the four governments."

Zhang Rang stepped forward to help Liu Hong up, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

How could he not know that it was his senior teacher who framed the Bohai King's family, if Liu Qing was rewarded for his meritorious service, if they entered the palace in the future, then their ten permanent servants would not suffer.

Looking at Liu Hong's leaving back, Liu Yan waved his robe sleeves angrily, thinking in his heart: The power of the ten permanent servants is all over the court, blinding the saints, and the clan is powerless to resist. If they stay in Luoyang, they will be killed by them sooner or later!
In the end, General He Jin, Taiwei Yuan Kui, Situ Huang Wan, Sikong Zhang Wen and the four prefectures agreed that Zhang Miao would be promoted to the third rank for meritorious service in defending the city, and Zhang Su would be granted the title of Lieutenant Chen Liu for his meritorious service in the first battle to assist the prefect in commanding the troops.

As for Liu Qing, the emperor put it on hold, so he put it on hold.

When the battle report entered Luoyang, Liu Qing also returned to Yu County. This time, Cheng County Magistrate took several big families in the county out of the city to greet him.

Looking at the materials carried by more than 2000 people, Cheng County magistrate and everyone were shocked.

There is no doubt that Liu Qing has won a big victory.

With this god around, Yu County can sit back and relax. How could Cheng County Magistrate not understand this truth.

So in addition to feeding the cavalry with delicious food and drinks, even the war horses were fed with excellent fodder.

For Liu Qing, he prepared all the banquets at noon and evening.

Only after returning to Yu County did I learn that Zhang He had already led a dozen cavalry to Changsha ahead of schedule.
