Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 304 Liu Shijun Er Gu Kongming, Bohai King on Four Boats

It was mid-November when Liu Qing received the battle report of Taishan County. Everything was according to Liu Qing's expectations. After Zhu Ling occupied Fenggao, he began to strengthen the city defense and build military resources.

Although Xun Yu and Guo Jia believed that it was not appropriate for Liu Qing to intervene in the affairs south of the river prematurely, this move was not counted as a territorial claim, but merely a chess piece laid in Taishan County in advance.

Because Liu Qing thought that Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and the three states would soon be in chaos.

Liu Qing didn't think Yuan's would be content with the status quo. After the food ransom, it was likely to hurt Yuan's deeply, and when an existence with real strength was severely stimulated, it was hard to say what he would do.

After Xun Yu served as the governor of Jizhou, no one knew the relationship between Xun Shi and Liu Qing better than Yuan Shi, so Liu Qing's true influence would also be exposed in front of Yuan Shi.

With Yuan Kai's forbearance, he would naturally not attack him abruptly, but to deal with other weaker places first.

For example, Yanzhou except Chenliudong County, Qingzhou, which has been completely disrupted by the Yellow Turban, and Xuzhou, which is mediocre, or places further south.

Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and even Jiaozhou.

Now that the battle at Nanyang in Jingzhou has started, Liu Qing should be prepared.

Right now, the situation in Youzhou is the most important thing. Zhao Yun sent a message. After Gongsun Zan received the warning, he did not stop gathering troops to march westward.

Now Zhao Yun was invited to garrison Yongnu in Yuyang County, while Chen Gong and Zhang Yun had just rushed to Zhuojun, and they hadn't even caught up with Liu Yu.

During this period, Liu Qing had received the first batch of 20 shi of grain delivered by Yuan Shi, which had been shipped from Dongjun to Weijun, and promised that another 30 shi would be delivered in November.

As long as the time does not drag on for too long, Liu Qing is still considerate. It is not just about whether there is food. Collection, loading, and transportation all require manpower and time. Backhand delivery and direct delivery of 100 million shi are not playing games.

Therefore, Liu Qing thoughtfully ordered Xu Huang to improve Yuan Shao's food.

When the other 30 stones are delivered, Liu Qing can even ask Xu Huang to invite Yuan Shao to sit in the Hongying Building. After all, men are still considerate of men.

Since Xun Yu became governor of Jizhou, he has been very busy all of a sudden. The government affairs of the various counties and states that were originally scattered can now be coordinated.

Xun Yu is busy with government affairs, while Ju Shou is busy with Zhang Luo's wedding in December. As the deadline approaches, Yecheng is becoming more and more festive. However, although the theme building of the new palace in the north of the city is almost completed, it is far away from completion. It will take more than half a year, and marrying Diao Chan this time will not be able to keep up with the new house.

On this day, Liu Qing and Cai Yan went out of the city for the second time to visit Hu Zhao. They arrived early and arrived early. Now that the weather is getting colder, there is no need to deliberately avoid the scorching sun. The schedule will naturally be faster. After noon, Liu Qing He and Cai Yan went to the small cottage in the mountain.

Born once and acquainted twice, the servant Hu Shu enthusiastically invited the two into the house. When they entered the house, Liu Qing and Cai Yan carefully discovered that the wooden plaque hanging on the thatched cottage had been replaced with " The word "shabby room" shows how much Hu Zhao likes the inscription of the humble room.

Cai Yan looked at it twice. In her eyes, these are not just two characters. As a great calligrapher, Hu Zhao is deeply attracted by the powerful brushwork and profound artistic conception contained in these two characters. she.

Liu Qing blinked and watched with Cai Yan for a long time, and only had one thought: Damn it looks so good!

"Your Majesty and Nephew are here, come in and sit down!"

Hu Zhao's words came from the room, and the voice was a little long, as if he had just woken up. These scholars all like to take a lunch break, especially in such a comfortable season.

"I've seen Mr. Kong Ming, I've disturbed my dream!" Liu Qing laughed.

Hu Zhao smiled brightly, and replied: "It's okay, it's time to wake up, the king is not in Bingzhou to engage in politics, when will he return to Yecheng?"

Hu Zhao's words immediately alerted Liu Qing.

Will he not know that he is back?Would he not know about the Battle of Dongjun?Would he not know that Yuan Shao was defeated?
Liu Qing didn't believe it.

The reason for this is probably to pretend to be indifferent to Liu Qing. Liu Qing understands this kind of arrogance.

As a scholar, it is normal to have a good face, not to mention that Hu Zhao is still a great intellectual.

Liu Qing smiled embarrassingly, and responded: "It's been a while, I should have come to visit my husband earlier, but because of the war in Yanzhou, I went to Yanzhou to mediate the war."

Liu Qing did what he could, and simply told the truth, pretending, I think you keep pretending!
Hu Zhao also scolded in his heart: Mediate the war?You really think I don't know that you defeated Yuan Shao, pretend, keep pretending!
"The king's official is in Bingzhou, he is in Jizhou, his heart is in Yanzhou, and he works both physically and mentally. It is really a blessing for the great man and a blessing for the people!" Hu Zhao boasted.

Liu Qing tasted it, is this pure praise?Why does Mao find it a bit ironic?
"If you can put in some effort, I will do more. I hope you will get something out of your work." Liu Qing responded lightly.

The implication: I've made a few trips, so it's time for you to give me something to do.

Hu Zhao felt more and more that this young man was not simple, he was straightforward, but he had a city in his heart, knew the world but didn't know the world, it was really rare.

Cai Yan heard the conversation between the two, and seemed to understand. They talked about some simple things, but vaguely felt that there was more than that, as if there was something in the words.

It's really embarrassing for innocent people.

Afterwards, Liu Qing and Hu Zhao chatted about Yuan Shao's defeat very naturally, then the new governor of Jizhou Xun Yu very naturally, and finally Liu Yu of Youzhou very naturally.

Liu Qing knows everything, and he has something to say.

Hu Zhao knows everything and corresponds one by one.

In the end, both of them had a mental image of each other.

Liu Qing scolded Hu Zhao: You are a genius who pretends to be confused!

Hu Zhao scolded Liu Qing: a spirited guy who is on the move!
The official is in Bingzhou, living in Jizhou, his heart is in Yanzhou, and he is fascinated by Youzhou.

In general, the second Gu Kongming’s conversation is not as formal as the first time, and the content of the chat has also improved in quality. Everything Liu Qing said can arouse Hu Zhao’s great curiosity, but Liu Qing likes it again. The rapids retreated bravely and ended halfway, making Hu Zhao very uncomfortable.

Living in the deep mountains, the biggest desire is not wine, sex and wealth, but information.

And the information that Liu Qing has now is far from what Hu Zhao can hear.

According to Liu Qing's calculation, after the information saturation bombing this time, let the old man go through several months of barren information, and wait for the next visit, and basically be able to recruit.

Although, as Cai Yan said, the recruitment action could be made last time, even so, Liu Qing does not want to simply get Hu Zhao's people, and his great talents. Hu Zhao like that may still be arrogant .

What Liu Qing wants is his heart, the heart of growing old and strong, the ambition to benefit the world, and the will to fight against the intellectual monopoly class.

Because Liu Qing knows that this road is far more arduous and long-distance than unifying the territory.

At dusk, Liu Qing and Cai Yan bid farewell to Hu Zhao, Hu Zhao reluctantly let them go, and invited them to come and sit more.

The bombardment of today's information really stunned Hu Zhao. So many competitions are going on in a world that looks calm.

On the way back, Cai Yan was also curious why Liu Qing was so talkative today.

"Husband, why did you say so many things to my husband today, and the response from my husband was quite enthusiastic, why can't my husband do the recruitment?"

Liu Qing smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, Mr.'s talent is not a talent for administration, nor is it a talent for commanding troops, but a talent for educating people. Educating people is a major event. I have the heart to change and strive for strength, and I have told you so many things in order to stimulate him. The world is in chaos today, and heroes emerge in large numbers. Heroes should face up to difficulties, and we must not have the heart to hide and retreat."

As Liu Qing watched, Cai Yan's eyes lit up again, and he felt that his man was a hero of the world.

"My husband is for the world, I have really taken great pains." Said, Cai Yan snuggled into Liu Qing's arms.

She likes this feeling very much, as the carriage bumps, Liu Qing will hold her firmly.

Liu Qing sighed, and said: "It's a blessing or a misfortune to be born in the emperor's family. Fortunately, I was spared the suffering of the common people. Unfortunately, my own destiny cannot be separated from the world. Even if the king wants to stay safe and avoid disaster, This world of great contention will not allow it!"

Liu Qing felt helpless everywhere, the life of his wife and children on the kang did not exist in the emperor's house.

His father, King Bohai, as the younger brother of Emperor Huan, was almost ready to eat and wait to die. Unfortunately, he was still sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky.

When the real troubled times come, not to mention the king of the county, even the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he can also be a plaything in the hands of others. His queen and concubine can be killed if they are said to be killed, and they can be exchanged if they are asked. Even the dignity of a man is gone.

How can Liu Qing sit back and watch the tragedy repeat itself? !
Cai Yan nestled in her arms, looked up at Liu Qing, and listened quietly and obediently...

……

Youzhou, Guangyang County, outside Ji County.

At this time, Youzhou has already shown a depression. The trees have shed their yellow leaves, leaving only the silhouettes of solitary branches.

"All the way north, the scenery is different. I heard that the northern part of Youzhou has already snowed." Chen Gong looked at the gate opened in Jixian County and said.

The greeting card has been delivered, and Chen Gong and Zhang He are waiting for someone to pick it up.

"I'm in Jia County, Hejian, which is also in the north, so I don't think there's anything new about it," Zhang He said.

"Then Gongsun Zan will choose the right time. Now that the horses are fattened up in autumn, it is the time when the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong. If after December, there will be widespread snowfall in Youzhou, then it will be bad for the cavalry to fight." Cui, Prime Minister of Hejian Yan Dao, this time, he also followed the two to Ji County, and he was the one who was in charge of connecting with Liu Yu before.

When Liu Yu heard that the distinguished guest had arrived, he immediately rode out of the city to greet him. He heard that this time, the distinguished guest led an army to help.

First there was Zhao Yun, and then another distinguished guest came, but Liu Yu had already received a lot of help from the King of Bohai before he was seen, and immediately sighed: Among the clansmen of the Han Dynasty, there are still people who are responsible!
"I have seen Liu Shijun!"

The three saluted in unison.

Liu Yu was tall and straight, and had a handsome appearance. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this person was very decent, and it was not without reason that he was supported by the Wuhuan people.

What a beautiful world!

Liu Yu led the three of them into the city, and while ordering to prepare a banquet, he expressed his hard work and thanks.

For the hard work, it is for the three of them, and for the thanks, it is to thank King Bohai from a distance. Liu Yu still understands.

The relationship between Zhao Yun and Liu Qing, everyone knows what they know, and they don't know much about it.

Chen Gong was straightforward by nature, and as soon as he was seated, he began to inquire about Gongsun Zan's army, and Liu Yu was also slightly moved by Chen Gong's dedication.

"Gongsun Zan is skilled in military affairs and is very good at choosing opportunities. This season is when the Youzhou Tuqi are at their strongest. He will take advantage of the peak of his troops to occupy Youbeiping County. At this time, our army is ready to counterattack. We only need to drag one In the next month, it will be winter in Youzhou."

After winter, there is almost a truce.

"Gongsun Zan has a good plan. How can this matter go his way? If our army prevents him from capturing Youbeiping County before then, won't it be enough?" Zhang He said.

"What Zhang Duwei said is reasonable, but Tuyin County is almost located on the border of Youbeiping and Liaoxi County, and is only [-] miles away from the Lingzhi where Gongsun's family is located. Now it is the time when Gongsun Zan gathers troops. If you want to attack Tuyin, cavalry will take almost a day. It will arrive."

Zhang He smacked his lips, it was too convenient, it was equivalent to putting the county government on someone's lips.

"In the past, when Zhang Chun rebelled and wanted to capture Tuyin, he ordered Zhi Gongsun Zan to send soldiers from his family to attack Zhang Chun. He defeated Zhang Chun and saved Youzhou. Yu Zhangchun and Wuhuan fought inextricably with him, and once went deep into the desert to hunt and kill him."

Liu Yu paused, and suddenly sighed heavily.

"After Yu became the shepherd of Youzhou, he adopted a soft policy and tolerated the people of Wuhuan and Xianbei. However, this policy was incompatible with Gongsun Zan's intention to exterminate them. The development of power has gradually become a trend of separatism."

After listening to Liu Yuda's own words, Chen Gong had a basic impression of Gongsun Zan in his heart. He was almost a passionate young man who hated evil like a vengeful man, and his combat effectiveness was also strong. Because of the persecution by the military, personal enmity and public anger are mixed together to do such irrational things as chasing and killing into the desert.

Apart from cynical factors, according to the master, Chen Gong also knew of Gongsun Zan's connection with Yuan Shi, a warlike, crazy, irritable and ambitious guy, like a raging and greedy beast.

At this time, Yuan Shi only needs to throw out a little bait to easily detonate this beast.

Gongsun Zan's current actions clearly fit this point.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never end in a hundred battles. After a preliminary understanding, Chen Gong already has a basic impression. When you get to the battlefield, and observe his fighting style, you will be able to tailor a strategy for Gongsun Zan.

"Using military power to divide the regime will not win the hearts of the people. Please rest assured that Gongsun Zan has lost his way and has no support. This battle will definitely be defeated!" Cui Yan said.

Liu Yu agreed after thinking about it, but his most troublesome problem was precisely that his army was too strong.

Chen Gong saw Liu Yu's worried expression, and laughed in harmony: "Don't worry, I already have a basic strategy for dealing with Gongsun Zan!"
