Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 323 There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent

Seeing Guo Jia's confidence, Liu Qing couldn't help being curious.

Why Liu Biao?
"Why so sure?" Liu Qing asked.

Guo Jia smiled and replied, "My lord, remember that Wen Ruo once said that good soldiers and good horses are the watch of war, food and armored soldiers are the foundation of war, and population is the foundation of war. Yuan Shu used Nanyang to fight against Liu Biao. The land of a state cannot last for long, not to mention Dong Zhuo is eyeing it, Dong Zhuo intends to destroy Yuan and make friends with Liu Biao, so Nanyang will eventually belong to Liu Biao."

"Then is there any way for Feng Xiao to let Liu Biao get Nanyang faster? If the military disaster is linked, if it lasts for a long time, I am afraid that a million people will not be able to withstand the destruction."

Guo Jia tugged at the mustache he had just grown, "Master, are you sure you want to offer advice to Liu Biao or Dong Zhuo?"

"Don't worry if I'm not sure, if this king fights Yuan Shu, how can you defeat Yuan Shu?"

"A strategy of pride!"

The strategy of arrogant soldiers is to use their own failures to fuel the enemy's arrogance, making their generals gradually become arrogant or even self-willed, and create the illusion that they are invincible in fighting. situation.

Speaking of this, Liu Qing suddenly thought of Sun Jian. In the process of defeating Luoyang, Sun Jian passed through all the way and recovered Luoyang with his own strength. Later, Sun Jian fought Liu Biao in Nanyang, and was ambushed during a pursuit battle. Killed by an arrow.

There is no trick of arrogance in this, but inferring in reverse, is there a possibility that during the process of attacking Luoyang, Sun Jian's repeated victories have made him a proud soldier, so in the battle of Nanyang, he underestimated the enemy Rush forward, resulting in death.

No matter whether it is the enemy's tricks, or because of oneself, arrogant soldiers, it is a terrible state.

What's even more frightening is that there is almost no solution to this plan, because it targets human flaws.

"The strategy of arrogant soldiers is indeed feasible. Let's see how Yuan Shao reacts after returning. If he is restless, I don't mind sending Yuan Shu back to fight for his family property!"

The key to judgment is, what is the relationship between this Yellow Turban riot and the Yuan family?The timing of their collective riot was too strange.

I really hope that Zhang Liao and Xu Huang can catch a few tongues.

To the south of Changping, Zhang Liao ended the battle, captured 200 enemies, captured countless supplies, and injured more than [-] people on his own side.

Most of the Yellow Turbans fled, and at this time, Zhang Liao was also powerless to pursue. He led the soldiers to deal with the wounded while quickly recovering their energy. Maybe there would be other soldiers and horses coming to rob food.

In the valley to the east, Xu Huang lined up his troops and defended closely, while the Yellow Turbans, under the command of Liu Pi and Zhou Cang, divided up into more than ten groups and invaded the valley road. The battle was not fierce, but blossomed everywhere.

In the formation of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhou Cang and Liu Pi were discussing countermeasures when news from the north came suddenly.

"Report Qu Shuai, He Man and He Yi have been defeated by the Bohai King Army, and the two Qu Shuai died in battle!"

Liu Pi held up his disheveled hair, and said with a look of surprise: "The defeat was so fast, but the enemy's army is too strong?"

The soldier squeaked, and replied truthfully: "A few... a few hundred, less than a thousand."

"What!" Liu Pi exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that they are heavenly soldiers and generals!"

Zhou Cang stroked his cheeks, and said: "Shuai Liu, it is well known that the King of Bohai's troops are brave and elite, otherwise, we should withdraw our troops."

"Withdraw troops? Commander Zhou Qu, our army has withdrawn, and there is no food, so what will we eat?"

Zhou Cang was speechless.

"However, it is impossible to retreat, but we can temporarily avoid the front. When Gong Du Huang Shao comes to join us, and then press heavily, the Bohai King's Army will be unstoppable. This battle is not only food and grass, but also revenge for General Tiangong. It kills two birds with one stone!"

"Then let's avoid it for the time being!" Zhou Cang and Liu Pi reached a consensus, planning to retreat first, anyway, it has already bit the food team, no matter what, it can't escape.

Xu Huang led the army to fight. Although the enemy was outnumbered, the defense line did not retreat a step, and Taniguchi was firmly in his hands.

"General Xu, the Yellow Turbans have all retreated."

Xu Huang heard the voice from behind, and looked at the piles of stumped limbs and arms in front of him. These were all yellow scarf thieves who died under the big axe.

"Order the food team to move forward, continue to guard Taniguchi, and don't ask a yellow scarf to pass here!"

Xu Huang gave the order to lead the horse back to the food team and join Zhang Liao.

Although Xu Huang's body was also stained with a lot of blood, compared with Zhang Liao, he was still far behind.

"Wen Yuan, you have traveled through a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. The number of yellow turban thieves has greatly exceeded your expectations. I don't know how many you will meet on the road in the future."

Zhang Liao just wiped off the blood on his face, and there was no way to clean his body. He stuck his spear into the ground, found a rock and sat down.

"Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion has never stopped, such a large-scale operation must have been instigated by others, and most of the food and grass escorted by our army was conspired by Yuan!" Zhang Liao said.

"If the Yuan family intends to recapture the food and grass, Ruyang sends troops, and Jiyin Dingyuan is added, our army will be hard to resist. However, the cavalry guards staring at the two sides are not feedback. Presumably there is no action." Xu Huang analyzed.

After another two days of marching, because the front was blocked, the march was slow, and the tail of the grain team still did not go out of the valley. On this day, Zhang Liao encountered another army, but it was not the Yellow Turban Army, but Gao Shun who was guarding Chenliu.

It turned out that Xun Yu ordered Chen Liu Gaoshun to escort them along the way, and when they entered Chen Liu's territory, they would be basically safe.

Moreover, according to Gao Shun, Lu Bu of the Eastern Commandery also received news that he was stationing troops in the Xiancheng area to contain Ding Yuan. In this way, it is still a bit whimsical to rely solely on the Yellow Turban bandits to seize food.

Even Liu Pi and Zhou Cang didn't expect that during this short rest, they completely missed the opportunity, because Gong Du and Huang Shao never came to meet up.

Gong is missing, but Huang Shao, Huang Shao is gone.

……

When Liu Qing arrived at Lunu, Zhongshan, the snow along the way had almost melted, and the temperature dropped severely, making it extremely cold.

Tian Feng is now responsible for supervising the officials of various counties, which is highly overlapped with his duty of serving the censor when he was in the court, so it is easy to do it, but after taking over this important task, he has been much busy.

This meeting in Lunu was scheduled in advance.

Unexpectedly, when Wang saw his subordinates, he had to make an appointment in advance.

In the back hall of the county mansion, Liu Qing and Guo Jia Tianfeng sat casually around the brazier. Liu Qing raised his hand to bake on the brazier, rubbing it from time to time, while Tian Feng talked about the food war.

"The price of corn in Zhongshan County as a whole is below [-] qian, and the counties such as Lunu and Wuji, which are especially targeted, are already below [-] qian. At present, the noble clan headed by the Zhen family is still carrying it, similar to the Wuji Zhen family. The Tang family in Tang County, as well as the Lu Nu Li family, have deep reserves and are difficult to win for a while."

Tian Feng paused, and then said: "My lord, Mrs. Li has approached me many times, saying that he hopes to provide food for the King of Bohai at a stable price. I wonder if my lord is interested?"

"The rest of the gentry are monolithic, why did Mrs. Li think of this king? Where did she come from?"

"Speaking of which, the ancestors of the Li family were relatives, and Mrs. Li was the favorite concubine of Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty. Her brother Li Guangli was also appointed as a marquis and worship general. It's just that the Li family lacks background. Mrs. Li and her brother Li Yannian both became famous by advocating art. Therefore, the decline is also fast, and up to now, there have been several generations of no official, but the Li family has accumulated a lot of farms, and there are thousands of servants alone."

"In this way, the Li family is considered half of the Liu family. Did you say what price to buy?"

"Five hundred qian per shi. When the price of grain was raised to the highest level, it was already over a thousand qian. I think the price of [-] qian has already made [-] to [-]% of the profit. It is completely acceptable. If the Li family takes the lead, other big clans, Wealthy businessmen, I'm afraid they will be even more restless."

Tian Feng's move can also be regarded as dividing and wooing, but Liu Qing has an even more unique move.

"Yuanhao, you released the news that the King of Bohai wanted to buy grain in Zhongshan County. The public purchase price was set at 350 yuan, and then you released the news that the grain purchase period will be three months. The first month is [-] yuan per stone. One month later, it will be [-] renminbi, and one month later, it will be [-] renminbi."

Tian Feng's heart brightened, and he thought that the way of breeding goods is still the master's power. In this way, the originally monolithic gentry and rich merchants may have to suspect each other, and once they start to suspect, it is not far from backstabbing, and someone will always take the lead Take a shot, and then, there is one, and there are a group of them.

"My lord, Li's five hundred coins, why is there only four hundred for the public acquisition?"

"Phew! Thanks to you for leading the whole process, you never know how determined the people who are locked up with their warehouses are, how determined they are to cut their meat. Besides, if the price of grain returns to rationality in the future, they will still sell it if there is no profit. Ketu, why do I still do these things! As for Mrs. Li, it is because he is smart and took the initiative to find him, but this is the only family!"

"My lord is wise! This is another win-win solution!" Guo Jia snapped a sentence at the right time.

"My lord, there is one more thing. Recently, in the counties of Zhongshan, there are many foreign businessmen who come to buy grain. My investigation found that most of them come from the south of the river. I also confirmed this from the south of Dahewei."

Good guy!The wool was picked up on Lao Tzu's head. This incident was probably spread by Jia Cong after the Tang family's food team was robbed. Now the Yuan family is the most food-deficient, and the most money-deprived should also be the Yuan family.

If the Yuan family and the Zhen family establish a cooperation, the hundreds of thousands of shi of grain will be continuously transported to Runan.

Severing business and prohibiting trading is contrary to Liu Qing's policy of encouraging trade, and it is definitely not advisable. If such a thing really happens, all Liu Qing can think of is the practice of half-way robbery, which does not respect martial ethics. After all, And Yuan Shi is an enemy facing each other with swords and swords, talking about Wude.

Huh, wait...

Zhen's and Yuan's later became relatives-in-law!
Liu Qing couldn't help remembering what Guo Jia had said about the five daughters of the Zhen family, so he asked, "Yuan Hao, are the five daughters of the Zhen family married?"

Tian Feng suddenly showed a strange expression, looking at Liu Qing for no reason, thinking: Is the lord going to do it by himself again?Using in-law relationship to win over Zhen Shi?

This is not impossible, on the contrary, this is the most popular practice in contemporary times.

As the king of Bohai, it is more than enough to match the Zhen family. Now the five daughters of the Zhen family, the first three daughters are married, the fourth daughter is waiting in the boudoir, and the fifth daughter is still young.

"My lord, the three eldest daughters of the Zhen family are already married, and the fourth daughter is just the right age, but you want me to go matchmaking?"

Liu Qing helped his forehead to cover up his embarrassment, "I just asked casually, I never meant that!"

Liu Qing flatly denied it!

Although he has never met the fourth daughter of the Zhen family, Liu Qing only thinks about Zhen Mi, how young?It's okay, I can wait!
A man's love is always the same!

15岁的时候喜欢15岁的，25岁的时候还是喜欢15岁的，35岁的时候，还是喜欢15岁的……

"Oh, that's a pity. People say that the five daughters of the Zhen family have their own merits, and all the great families are proud to be married to the Zhen family. By the way, Zhen Yi was originally appointed as Cai Ling in Runan. He just returned home after returning from illness a month ago. Rest at home."

"Wait, what did you just say?"

"Zhen Yi returned home due to illness. He just returned to Wuji a month ago."

"No, last sentence."

Tian Feng frowned, realizing that things were not that simple, while Guo Jia stood aside, laughing and laughing.

"The five daughters of the Zhen family each have their own merits, and all the great families are proud of being married to the Zhen family?" Tian Feng repeated with uncertainty.

Liu Qing sat upright and said, "Zhen Yi is working in Runan, so there must be something strange about returning home at this time of illness. Seeing that Zhen's teeth are not selling, he must have reached some kind of relationship with Yuan's. Feng Xiao, this matter is no small matter!"

Guo Jia also said seriously: "There is indeed something strange, my lord should focus on it!"

Tian Feng looked at the lord, and then at Guo Jia, as if he understood, but also didn't seem to understand.

After some planning and calculation, the three of them finally decided that Liu Qing would take the lead in making a high-profile appearance in Lu Nu, and openly conclude an agreement with Mrs. Li to purchase grain at a purchase price of [-] yuan per stone, and then secretly bear the burden of [-] yuan per stone. The food transportation expenses raised the price of food to [-] yuan in disguise.

After doing this, look at the actions of all parties.

On the second day, Liu Qing and Tian Feng Guo Jia went to Li's mansion. The head of Li's family is Li Xiao, who is half a hundred years old and looks like a spirited old man.

Perhaps because he knew that his family had been in decline for a long time, Li Xiao still respected Liu Qing. It was close, but Liu Qing didn't feel embarrassed, it only meant that this Li Xiao would come to trouble.

In the acquisition process, the two parties had a clear intention and the negotiation went very smoothly. For this reason, Li Xiao also agreed to declare to the outside world: Bohai King bought it from Li Shi at a price of [-] yuan per stone.

After finishing the matter, Liu Qing didn't bother, and left immediately: "The cooperation with the Li family has been reached, and the king is in a happy mood. It's getting late, so I won't bother you!"

"Your Majesty, stop!" Li Xiao suddenly called Liu Qing to a stop, and waved to the steward.

The butler immediately came forward with two servants and two brocade boxes.

"I heard that the Queen of Bohai is good at rhythm. This book is a collection of songs written by the ancestor Li Yannian, dedicated to the queen!"

Liu Qing remained calm, motioned for Dian Wei to take it, and then looked at the other brocade box.

Li Xiao took out a bamboo slip from it, and introduced: "This is the "Beautiful Song" written by our ancestors. I heard that the King of Bohai was granted a marriage by His Majesty, and he won a beautiful princess. This work is dedicated to the princess."

This time, Liu Qing reached out to take it by himself, and opened it carefully. The bamboo slips were old and turned black. Liu Qing thought they were ordinary bamboo slips, but when he opened them, he couldn't help being startled.

The characters on the bamboo slips were indeed carved neatly and generously, but the inscriptions on the characters were inlaid with gold, so each character was still clearly visible.

"There are beauties in the north, who are peerless and unique. Once you look at the city of Qingren, then you look at the country of Qingren. Would you rather not know the city and the country? Beautiful women are hard to come by."

It turned out to be this poem!
Liu Qing was stunned.

The meaning of the last sentence is: Even if the city and the country are overwhelmed, don't lose the good opportunity to get a beautiful woman. After all, a beautiful woman is rare in the world and can never be found again!
Liu Qing got it!

Let's go and find a beautiful woman!
