Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 396 Chief Financial Officer of Bohai King, Young Lord of Yangzhou Bazhi

Liu Qing kept pushing, and Cao Cao fanned the flames. Liu Bei couldn't resist, so he had to agree.

"Just follow the king!" Liu Bei said.

"Okay! This matter is on me!" Liu Qing smiled and raised his wine glass, "Come on, drink again!"

Cao Cao then raised his glass, approached Liu Qing, and said expectantly, "Your Majesty, you have Xuande, so what's the matter?"

"Didn't Meng De already have many wives? Why do I still need to worry about it!" Liu Qing said, and couldn't help but despise Cao Cao in his heart. The king still wants to learn from you, so how can I arrange for you!

"Oh, it's not fair, it's not fair!" Cao Cao shook his head and sighed.

"Hahaha..." The three laughed loudly.

When he was slightly drunk, Liu Qing didn't know when and how he returned to the house. He only felt a pair of slender hands caressing his face, and there were bursts of warmth on his forehead.

Liu Qing opened his eyes, and a fresh and pretty face appeared in front of him, it was Mi Ren.

"Huh? Is the king drunk?"

"Yes, Your Majesty is drunk!" Mi Ren said, and as he spoke, he took off the hot cloth on Liu Qing's forehead, and the steam was steaming, taking away some of the drunkenness.

"Where are Cao Cao and Liu Bei?"

"General Cao was also drunk. His people took him back. General Liu didn't. General Liu left by himself."

Go by yourself?He clearly said he couldn't drink anymore.Depend on!Is the big-eared thief pretending to be drunk?Really stiff.

"Why are you here?"

Hearing Liu Qing's words, Mi Ren's complexion suddenly became very pitiful: "Did the king forget what happened last night after drinking, the concubine has dedicated herself to the king, and the king is drunk, so I take care of you here, it is only right and proper, listen to the tone of the king, It seems like he still doesn't want to."

Seeing Mi Ren's playful upper body, Liu Qing suddenly became sober again.

"Where, this king just said it casually."

Mi Ren didn't reply, she turned away half of her face.

Liu Qing didn't speak, and grabbed her, only to hear a scream, and suddenly there were two people on the couch.

A coquettish woman is the best life. Without a word, Liu Qing just played tricks, scratching his armpits, hitting his waist, grabbing his feet, whatever the stimulation came, and there was a burst of laughter and screams like silver bells in the room.

"How dare you show my face to this king, how dare you pay me back!"

"The concubine dare not, the king spares my life, the king spares my life!"

The room was very noisy, Dian Wei was sitting in the porch and taking a nap, because he drank a lot of wine at the banquet today, he seemed to be in a state of drunkenness, vaguely listening to the movement inside, his thick eyebrows were frowned, and his face was full of confusion and entanglement : My lord, what's going on, why are you merciful...

The next morning, before dawn, Liu Qing's eyes widened and he was extremely sober. The main reason was that he was drunk yesterday and slept until dusk. After waking up, he fought with Mi Ren for several hours until he was exhausted. , and had a good night's sleep.

On the other hand, Mi Ren, who was tortured badly by Liu Qing last night, still fell asleep with Liu Qing's arm in her arms, her even and weak breathing could be heard clearly by her ears, she was still in a sweet dream, peaceful and at ease.

Liu Qing didn't move, afraid of disturbing Mi Ren, his black eyes stared at the black tent, he couldn't help but think back to yesterday's discussion with Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

The most important thing is that Liu Qing needs to carefully consider the several expectations the two have made for this war, and then discuss it with the staff.

Yuan Shao's victory will mean the split of the Han Dynasty and the rise of princes and kings. This trend is even more terrifying than the original history. It will directly shake the foundation of imperial power and cause people's hearts to fall. Liu Qing must do his best to prevent it from happening.

At the same time, even if Yuan Shao is defeated, Dong Zhuo cannot be allowed to go south wantonly. Even if Liu Qing can communicate with Dong Zhuo and say "take the common people first", Dong Zhuo will reluctantly listen to him, but his subordinates It is difficult to control what the [-] troops will do.

We must think of a way to achieve both.

But with Liu Qing himself, I'm afraid it's hard to figure it out, so he should first think about what he can think about.

For example, how to persuade Ba Zhi not to get involved in the power struggle in the Central Plains, I hope he still remembers that he is a native of Bohai.

Liu Qing's thoughts fluttered, and the person in his arms suddenly moved. Liu Qing realized that Mi Ren had already woken up and was looking at him with his head held high. The tent also turned crimson red.

"What is the king thinking?"

"My king's concern is nothing but war. Right now Yuan's army is arming the people, and the number is increasing day by day, but this king can't send the people of Liang to defend them. When marching and fighting, our army will be there." Liu Qing said, A thought suddenly occurred to him, and he continued: "The Yuan family is powerful, and it is necessary to besiege Suiyang. My king's concern is whether there are enough soldiers, whether there is enough food, grass and clothing. In order to win the battle, everything must not be lost."

Mi Ren was silent for a few breaths, then suddenly said: "My lord, what can I do?"

Seeing that Mi Ren was in the suit, Liu Qing hurriedly said: "Every army sends accounts every day, such as knives, guns, crossbows and arrows, armor and horses, and food. But the king may not read it every day, and even if he does, he can't see anything."

Xun Yu can do these things, Ju Shou can do them, and even Chen Gong can do them, but their handling methods are completely different. Xun Yu will intervene in everything and report to Liu Qing. He will dispose of it by himself, and usually he will not take the initiative to report these things. As for Chen Gong, Liu Qing said that he has not yet figured out his behavior style.

If it was an ordinary war, Liu Qing wouldn't care about it at all, but this battle is a big one, and Liu Qing didn't dare to be sloppy, so he asked all the troops to report the accounts. This matter.

Mi Ren had a clever mind, and immediately caught Liu Qing's idea.

"Your Majesty wants me to help check the accounts. If there is a mistake, you can report it to him. In this way, Your Majesty will not have to bother to check and will not miss any mistakes."

Liu Qing immediately tightened his grip on the person in his arms, and wondered whether the distance between the two people's hearts was so close when they "faced each other honestly", so their hearts were connected.

"Everything is as Ren'er said! Are you willing to help me?"

Mi Ren muttered and said: "The concubines belong to the king, how dare they disobey the orders of the king."

Liu Qing suddenly supported Mi Ren's smooth shoulders, and said solemnly: "This matter is not ordered by the king, but you should take the initiative to do it yourself. In the future, you will be the wife of the king and the concubine of the Bohai Palace. , that is, your war, do you understand?"

Mi Ren stared blankly at Liu Qing, her eyes were full of disbelief, she didn't know how to be a princess, she thought being a princess was as simple as being a king's woman.

However, what King Bohai said sounds more important. This point coincides with the sense of value that his brother said, that is, to be a person who is valuable to King Bohai.

As far as she is concerned, it is to be a woman who is valuable to King Bohai.

"I understand!" Mi Ren nodded solemnly.

Liu Qing immediately smiled, very satisfied. From now on, he has another chief financial officer.

"Okay! Then start today, come on, get up! Get down to business!"

A moment later, at the desk in the side room, Mi Ren was reviewing and checking the mountain of accounts at a very fast speed. Liu Qing suspected that Mi Ren was tricky when he first visited, but now it seems that it is basically a real hammer, such a superb Arithmetic ability requires great talent and protracted training.

Liu Qing himself also began to write letters to Bazhi.

This letter is of great importance, so Liu Qing specially arranged for Li Shui, who was safe and alert, to deliver it.

On the evening of the eighth day, Li Shui arrived in Liyang, Jiujiang County, and went to meet him immediately. With the help of the King of Bohai, he personally met Ba Zhi, the governor of Yangzhou.

When Ba Zhi heard that he was the messenger of King Bohai, he also went out to welcome Li Shui into his study.

Li Shui took out the silk scroll, and Ba Zhi spread it on the table. At this time, the sky was already faint, but not completely dark. Ba Zhi lowered his head and approached the silk scroll, his eyes almost moved with the words...

"Why don't Shijun light the lamp and read?" Li Shui asked strangely.

"It's okay, I can still see it." After finishing speaking, he continued to bury his head in reading.

After a while, Ba Zhi raised his head slowly, Li Shui looked at him, he was already in tears.

Good guy, what did the lord write, and why did the old Shijun cry to pieces.

"There is a successor to the king! There is a successor to the king!" Bazhi said incoherently.

It is not difficult for Li Shui to imagine that the king that Bazhi called should not be the lord Liu Qing, but the former king of Bohai, Liu Kui. He was exiled outside together with Liu Qing.

"Your Majesty, everything is fine, Your Majesty should be happy!"

"Where does the little lord live now?" Ba Zhi asked.

Li Shui was confused, what?little princess?He hadn't expected Baji to address the Lord like that at all.

"Yuan Jun led an army to attack Liang State, and wanted to change Liang State into a county. The lord thought of the brotherhood of the same clan, so he sent troops to rescue. After Yuan Shao learned about it, he raised nearly [-] troops and was about to annex Liang State. The lord asked Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao and Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Bei went to help together, and later my lord heard that there were many men from Danyang in Yuan Shao's army, so he sent a letter and ordered the younger one to deliver it." Li Shui told what Liu Qing had told him.

"What you said was also mentioned in the letter. Yuan Shao and I have exchanged many letters. However, it said in the letter that Yuan Shao wanted soldiers to win over Dong. The young master was never mentioned!"

Li Shui asked curiously: "Master, why do you call my lord the little lord?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ba Zhi slapped the table, he said angrily, "I was born as a Bohai native, and died as a Bohai ghost. I became an official in the past and was recommended by the king of Bohai. Although I am the governor of a state today, my heart is still Bohai's heart!"

Ba Zhi paused, and suddenly burst into tears, "My lord suffered a great injustice and committed suicide in prison to prove his innocence. Fortunately, he has an heir. I don't call him the little lord, what else can he call him!"

Li Shui scratched his head, wondering if the news about the governor of Yangzhou was too ill-informed, Yuan Shao begged Dong?
That was already a few years ago, and what is happening now is that Yuan Shao is good at establishing a new emperor, which is a big rebellion.

"The letter has been delivered, the little one has to go back as soon as possible to report to the lord, so that if you have a reply, I can take it away." Li Shui said.

"Yes, yes, yes! Wait!" Ba Zhi was afraid that Li Shui would leave, so he said hastily, and then took out a roll of bamboo slips, intending to write.

"My lord, it's getting dark, how can I write without lighting the lamp?"

"I can still see, I can still see..." Ba Zhi muttered, and began to write by himself.

Li Shui was puzzled. In this world, there is such a strange person. At this time, he is buried in writing, and he can barely see it, but isn't it uncomfortable?
Also, although he is just a messenger, he sent a letter from the King of Bohai. Is this how he treats guests?No candles?
As he was writing, Ba Zhi suddenly began to speak angrily again: "Yuan Shao, you are so hypocritical that you deceived the envoy. Seeing that I didn't write to the court, I read his copy, and dared to abolish myself. Who does he think he is! He But you still have to recognize the ancestors of the Yuan family! This envoy wouldn’t give him a single soldier!”

Li Shui heaved a sigh of relief while listening. Things seemed to be progressing more smoothly than expected, and even the rhetoric and emotions he had memorized in advance were no longer needed.

But Ba Zhi's performance made him worry again, how much real power does this governor of Yangzhou have?
He said that if he didn't give a soldier, would he really not give a soldier?

County affairs are in the hands of the prefects of each county, and the governor is only exercising the power of supervision. Although in the Central Plains, the governor has become the synonym for the prefecture, but this is Yangzhou, which has not gone through the baptism of war and struggled for power.

Ba Zhi finished writing in the dark, but Li Shui couldn't see the content on the bamboo slips at all.

Ba Zhi blew on the bamboo slips, set them aside to dry, and said to Li Shui: "Little brother, don't worry, I will write the book to Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang, and Zhou Ang, the prefect of Jiujiang, and stop sending troops to Yuan Shao!"

When Li Shui heard it, he instinctively felt that something was wrong. What Ba Zhi was talking about was repairing books, not orders, but he, a little messenger, couldn't control these things for the time being.

"So, on behalf of my lord, thank you Ba Shijun. My lord said that we are waiting for the war, and I will come to visit in a short time. Li Shui bid farewell!"

"Okay, Ba will hang on to this and wait for the little master to come to Yangzhou!"

As soon as Li Shui left, Ba Zhi immediately ordered someone to call Chen Wen to come. Not long after, Chen Wen appeared in Ba Zhi's bookstore. Chen Wen had long been used to Ba Zhi's dark conversations.

"Balao, why did you call me?" Chen Wen asked.

"I heard that Yuan Benchu ​​assembled his troops to attack Liang? To change the country into a county?"

In the darkness, Chen Wen's gaze changed, and he immediately replied, "Where did Balao hear this? How could this happen? It was Dong Zhuo who raised an army of [-] and wanted to attack Yuzhou, so Yuan Benchu ​​asked Balao for help. Balao Didn't you also say that you have received some care from the Yuan family these years, so you should know how to repay your kindness!"

"What a reward!" Ba Zhi suddenly slapped the table.

There was a sudden explosion in the darkness, which made Chen Wen's heart tremble, and he cursed in his heart: I'm so old, I'm so startled.

"Don't you know why Dong Zhuo raised his army to attack Yuzhou? How long are you going to hide it from me! Could it be that you think that the envoy is in the dark and can't see anything?"

Chen Wen was startled again, and cold sweat dripped unconsciously on his forehead.

Ba Zhi, who has always only cared about his own one-acre three-point land, and who only cares about whether the people in Liyang can have enough to eat, when did he know about the Central Plains?Who told him?

"Wen didn't understand what Shijun said. Isn't it common sense that Yuan Benchu ​​begged Dong and Dong Zhuo attacked Yuan?" Chen Wen pretended to be stupid.

"Hmph! Just pretend! Send me a message to the Zhou brothers and stop sending any troops, food, and supplies to Yuan Shao. If I know that you are doing something wrong, just wait!"

After saying that, Ba Zhi stopped making a sound, and in the darkness, Chen Wen could only hear heavy breathing.
