Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 346 Langya Zhuge Clan

A burst of laughter came.

In the military tent outside Juye, Liu Qing told the generals about the letter he had written to Sun Jian and Tao Qian, which made them burst into laughter.

"My lord, in the spear pose, this call is like a feint!" Zhao Yun, the spear master, commented.

"I'm afraid that Tao Qian will withdraw from Donglai to Pengcheng overnight after receiving the letter. In this way, it will be easier for Gonghe to control Qingzhou. Tao Qian's soldiers can be retreated with just a few words, which shows the lord's prestige!"

As Guo Jia said, he flirted with private goods, and Liu Qing was no longer surprised.

Shoot comfortably!

Who doesn't like to hear a good word.

"You Junyi is in Qingzhou, and with Cao Mengde, Uncle Ju must be in control of Qingzhou. It's not a big problem. Right now, our army should take down Ren Chengguo as soon as possible. Ren Chengguo's chancellor, Xu Qi, seems to be the former governor of Jingzhou, and Liu Biao's successor after serving as the shepherd of Jingzhou. , come to Ren Chengguo, and serve as filial piety, how do you get it?"

Guo Jia replied: "My lord, since we are a weak enemy, why not fight directly. Sometimes, being unplanned is also a kind of scheme."

Is it really not because you can't figure it out?
Can Wumou speak so refreshingly?

"Feng Xiao, I almost believed it." Liu Qing hummed.

Zhao Yun took the words and said to Liu Qing: "My lord, I agree with the words of the military advisor. Since the enemy is weak, it should be treated as military training. He can win without tricks. What's more, with Wen Yuan's assistance, there will be no surprises." .”

Surprised or not, unexpected or not, this king hasn't believed it yet, Zilong believed it first.

And I also found a logical and self-consistent statement-military training.

Xu Wei: Are you polite?Don't you want to lose face?

Probably not.

Since the military advisor and general are full of confidence, Liu Qing has nothing to say. If he talks too much, he will not trust the strength of the military advisor and general. After all, his own level may not be higher than others.

Wouldn't it be nice for him to sit firmly in the military tent?
"Since that's the case, Rencheng will be handed over to Feng Xiao and Zilong. Then Wen Yuan, you should say hello. Even if it's military training, you need to cherish the lives of soldiers and deploy them well." Liu Qing said.

"The lord is benevolent and magnanimous, Guo Jia admires it! Don't worry, I will plan well."

Guo Jia seized the opportunity to take another shot.

But Liu Qing didn't plan to be idle, he planned to take this opportunity to go to Taishan County.

If the war between Ren Chengguo and Dongping Kingdom goes smoothly, maybe they will go to Qingzhou in person to meet Uncle Ju and two old friends Meng Dexuande.

The purpose of going to Taishan County was to express condolences to his subordinate Zhu Ling, not to see Zhuge Gui, the father of Zhuge Liang.

In the following days, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao joined forces, and Liu Qing followed the troops and marched through the hinterland of Rencheng State and Dongping State, heading towards Taishan County.

As you can see along the way, there are many ruined pavilions and houses, people go to empty houses, and most of the land is abandoned. It can be seen that the two places were greatly affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Not only production was destroyed, but many laborers, perhaps became refugees, became Yellow Turbans, If you can't beat it, join and grab others. This is the underlying logic of the Yellow Turbans.

The few hectares that can still be cultivated should be the fields of those rich families. It is almost easy to identify. In such fields, the laborers are usually in groups. If it is a private field, how can this be the case?

This made Liu Qing more determined to regain the two counties.

When Liu Qing left Ningyang County of Dongping Kingdom with his imperial guards, Zhao Yun's fast horse battle report caught up, which represented the end of the Battle of Rencheng.

As Guo Jia expected, it was easy.

Rencheng is located on the shore of Surabaya, and the city defenses are considered to be towering. If Xu Jiao closed the city and stood firm, he might last for a while. The battle ended so quickly, Xu Jiao must have sent troops to aid when Zhao Yun attacked other counties, and then He was robbed, and now Xu Wei is being escorted to Taishan County and handed over to Liu Qing.

Before this king arrived, Prime Minister Ren Cheng was captured and escorted to catch up, which is indeed called the speed of soldiers.

But Liu Qing didn't stop, and left Dongping County straight away. As for Dongping King Liu Kai, if he honestly cooperates with Liu Qing to reform the county and rectify the bad governance, then Liu Qing is also willing to keep his prince, after all, he is Xiu'er The offspring of the family, if they were to be killed, it would be fratricide.

How could the benevolent and magnanimous King of Bohai do such a fratricidal thing?

Turn around and explain to Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, and be gentle when you strike.

Leaving Dongping and entering Jibei, three days later, Liu Qing arrived at Fenggao County, the prefecture of Mount Tai.

Zhu Ling also inquired about Liu Qing's movements early on, and went out of the city ten miles to meet him.

Looking at the looming people and horses in front of him, Zhuge Gui asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what kind of person would you like to go out of the city to meet the honored guests today?"

A smile appeared on Zhu Ling's young face, obviously very happy for the arrival of the distinguished guest.

"The spirit has today, and it is all thanks to the honored guest." Zhu Ling smiled.

Zhuge Gui suddenly thought of someone, but felt incredible and dared not confirm it.

Why did the King of Bohai come to the turbulent Taishan County?
When the people and horses gradually approached, looking at the banner of the King of Bohai holding it high, Zhuge Gui felt that he had guessed right. The distinguished guest Zhu Fujun said was the King of Bohai Liu Qing.

"My lord! My lord!" Zhu Ling was extremely unreserved, and shouted to meet him.

Zhuge Gui hesitated again and again, but also bit the bullet and followed.

"Oh, young man, it's not that you can't hold your breath!" Zhuge Gui sighed.

Looking at Zhu Ling and Zhu Wenbo rushing towards him, Liu Qing was in a good mood.

Zhu Ling rushed forward, jumped off the horse, knelt down on one knee towards Liu Qing, and saluted, "See you, my lord!"

"Hurry up at Wenbo, and lead me into the city."

Like Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, Zhu Ling was single-handedly trained without any background.

If you want to say yes, then Liu Qing is their background, and you should repay each other with your life for the kindness you have met. Similar experiences have brought them closer and recognized each other more. This is the reason why factions are formed among many forces .

Now Liu Qing's camp is mainly divided into several factions. The first is the Jizhou gentry faction dominated by Jushou Tianfeng, which also includes Cui Yan and Cui Lin Shenpei who joined halfway. The other faction is Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xun Chen. The representative of the Yingchuan faction.

There are Chen Gong, Dong Zhao and Gao Shun in Yanzhou, and Gu Yong in Wujun is not yet a faction.

These can be regarded as gentry factions, and the other is the grassroots faction promoted by Liu Qing, mainly the leading generals, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, all of them are like this, the generals are talented, but only Fu Xie is alone.

Zhuge Gui rushed to him, stopped beside Zhu Ling, and also dismounted to salute, but what Zhuge Gui did was a simple bow and salute.

Zhu Ling quickly introduced, "Jun Gong, quickly meet my Lord Bohai King!"

One sentence, my lord, unreservedly stated the relationship between the two. It is actually not good to reveal such identities in front of outsiders, especially in places where the influence of King Bohai has not yet been exerted, which will damage Zhu Ling's authority.

Zhu Ling is still young after all.

"I have seen the king!" Zhuge Gui said.

Looking at the thin middle-aged man in front of him, although his ability is unknown, but this thin and bearded figure looks good, he deserves to be the father of Zhuge Liang, with good genes.

Liu Qing smiled and replied "Excuse me".

"My lord, this is Zhuge Gui, Prime Minister of Taishan County, named Jungong, from Langya, Xuzhou."

In fact, the king already knew about it.

"Both get on the horse and talk while walking." Liu Qing said.

Along the way, Zhu Ling introduced the situation of Taishan County to Liu Qing. At present, there were basically no Yellow Turban activities in the county, but the Taishan bandits never stopped. They occupy the mountains and forests and are extremely difficult to destroy. Now it is Zhu Ling's main job.

Almost all the affairs of the county were handed over to Zhuge Gui, which made Taishan County operate as usual, but this kind of normalcy was only the basic function of maintaining the county government. It can be seen that even if Zhu Ling handed over all the affairs to Zhuge Gui, and, from Liu Qing saw from what he saw along the way that Zhuge Gui's behavior style tended to be conservative.

The three chatted all the way, and when they returned to Fenggao County, it was already dusk.

Zhu Ling held a banquet, and everyone drank and had fun. When they were slightly drunk, Liu Qing asked Zhuge Gui, "Jun Gong, there are still yellow scarves in Xuzhou, how is the situation at home?"

"The family is fine. Most of the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans have been wiped out by Tao Qian. If there are a small number of Yellow Turbans, the family can still handle it. It's just that in the autumn of troubled times, refugees are everywhere, and life is not as easy as before."

"Jungong is right. It's really embarrassing in the troubled times. I don't know how to govern the county. It was the lord who drove the ducks to the shelf and put me in the position of prefect. Thanks to Jungong, Taishan County can Works well."

Did Zhu Lingyou have any misunderstanding about running freely?
If you look at Taishan County by the standards of Jizhou, it is a proper younger brother and younger brother, and the scale of production.The number of producers, the number of arable land, and the enthusiasm for production all failed to reach the standard.

"Wenbo, there is no need to worry about this matter. Uncle Ju is now in Qingzhou. When the chaos in Qingzhou is sorted out, Mount Tai can be handed over to Uncle Ju."

Zhu Ling was overjoyed and said: "It's very good, the people of Mount Tai are blessed!"

Zhuge Gui drank so much that his thoughts were hazy, but when he talked about official affairs, he immediately woke up three points from the alcohol, and asked Zhu Ling in a low voice: "Wenbo, who is Uncle Ju?"

"Qingzhou Inspector Jushou, we are all called uncles, with Uncle Ju's talent, it is more than enough to take care of Mount Tai!" Zhu Ling said with a serious look, full of confidence in Jushou.

Zhuge Gui was amazed in his heart, no wonder Zhu Ling was promoted to such a high position at such an age, not only the King of Bohai, but also the Governor of Qingzhou was behind him.

The current governor's position is not as weak as it used to be. The current governor's power is equivalent to that of the governor of the state, and he is the real official of the frontier.

He also heard about the name of Jushou. He beheaded Zhang Bao of the Yellow Turban and was promoted from a county magistrate to the prefect of Changshan. Later, Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo fought in Hanoi, and after a few months after the battle, Hanoi County became well-organized, which was praised by the world.

As for the Montenegro army, they disappeared like the world evaporated, or did they become obedient people again?
The more Zhuge Gui thought about it, the clearer his thoughts became.

"If we can really get Ju Gong and Zhao Fu, then Taishan County may have a completely different situation. This is really a blessing for the people of Taishan."

Liu Qing looked at Zhuge Gui, and he could see that he was a good official with 72 points in politics, maybe because he didn't have any opportunities. Moreover, Liu Qing remembered that Zhuge Liang's biological father died early, and his whole family went to Zhuge Xuan. Does Zhuge Gui have some hidden illness?

Liu Qing thought, wait for Zhugegui to have a heart-to-heart relationship to make him trust him, and when the time comes, he should not go to any uncle, but just go to this king.

Your wife, concubine and children, I will take care of them.

"Don't worry, my king, I came to Mount Tai for the sake of the people of Mount Tai. It's not a fantasy, but an established strategy." Liu Qing said with a smile.

Zhuge Gui's brows and eyes relaxed, and he immediately raised his wine glass and offered a toast to Liu Qing.

Several people are drinking together, and it is rare to drink to the top. They usually go out for the battle, and it is rare to have such a leisurely mood.

Getting along with Zhuge Gui was okay, so Liu Qing was also in high spirits.

Liu Qing stayed in the guest room. Although he was drunk and drowsy, he didn't fall asleep. He stared at the night with dark eyes, always feeling that something was missing.

There was a slight snoring sound coming from outside the door, it was not bad that Dian Wei fell asleep directly outside the door, and it is not cold to wear clothes overnight at this time of year.

Liu Qing was thinking about the Zhuge family. Zhuge Gui had three sons and two daughters: the eldest son Zhuge Jin, the second son Zhuge Liang, the youngest son Zhuge Jun, and two daughters, the second and third.

But today's Zhuge Liang is only a six-year-old child. His talent and intelligence may be innate, but his knowledge and ability must be acquired. Liu Qing speculates that if their growth trajectory is changed, their talents will still be there. Wouldn't it be so prominent?
Especially Zhuge Liang, after many times of ups and downs with his uncle, he finally defected to Liu Biao in Jingzhou and lived in seclusion in Nanyang.

If you directly search for the beginning and hand him over to Mr. Hu Zhao for training, what kind of talent will he be in the end?

"Hey, don't think about it. Although this king is the uncle of the emperor, he is not the uncle of the emperor Liu, and there are so many talents around him, so he may not really need Zhuge Liang's comprehensive and unique status."

Don't want to, sleep!

One day, Liu Qing woke up and found that the sun was already high.

Guilty hangover.

According to the plan, Liu Qing bid farewell to Zhu Ling, and went to the county mansion to bid farewell to Zhuge Gui, and then led the imperial guards to leave directly, heading towards Qingzhou.

Before leaving, Liu Qing also ordered Zhu Ling to temporarily put Xu Wei in prison.

Originally, Liu Qing had another plan, which was to climb Mount Tai, which is now called Taishan, which is about [-] miles northwest of Fenggao City, but now the plan has been cancelled.

When Taishan County has a new look, it will not be too late to come back to climb the mountain.

After leaving Fenggao, Liu Qing increased his speed again and headed towards Qingzhou quickly.

……

Langya Kingdom, various counties, Tao Qian's soldiers and horses officially left Qingzhou and returned to Xuzhou.

For this reason, Tao Qian was quite angry. Such a large army action would cost a lot, and it would undoubtedly be a big loss if they returned empty-handed.

"Report-"

"Riding the sentry express, the King of Bohai's army did not march towards Pengcheng, but captured Ren Chengguo, and Prime Minister Ren Cheng has been captured alive."

When Tao Qian heard it, he immediately breathed out a fragrance: "The king of Bohai, who is an animal husbandry, actually tricked me into leaving Qingzhou!"

Then, he glanced back unwillingly, and there was the land of Qingzhou.

Mi Zhu stepped forward and said: "My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient. Since the King of Bohai will capture Rencheng Kingdom, it may be able to show positively that the King of Bohai is coming aggressively, or the next one will be Pengcheng."

When Tao Qian heard this, he felt very reasonable, and cursed: "Take Rencheng first, and then attack Pengcheng, it's a good idea!"

So Tao Qian ordered: "Order the whole army to advance at full speed and return to defend Pengcheng!"

When Mi Zhu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
