Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 452 Xun You joined forces, Yuan Shu made a choice
After half an hour, Zhao Yun came back.

"My lord, Mr. Gongda has arrived." Zhao Yun reported from outside the study.

"Please come in, sir!"

When Xun You entered, Zhao Yun closed the door behind him when he left.

Liu Qing looked at the man in front of him. Although he was Xun Yu's nephew, he was older than Xun Yu. In his imagination, he shouldn't be much older, but standing in front of him, Xun You's maturity was beyond Liu Qing's expectation.

"I have seen the king." When Xun You spoke, his iconic eyebrows were raised high, but his eyes were not big.

"The public is free of courtesy, please sit down!"

Liu Qing stretched out his hand with a smile, and pointed to a place where there was a small table with all kinds of cut meat, fruits, and wine on it.

Liu Qing went straight to the point and said: "Mr., please come here. First, I want to express my gratitude. Although the help provided by Mr. is for the Xun family, but for this king, it is indeed a great help. Come, let me have a drink with this king!"

Xun You cupped his hands; "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. These are all what a subordinate official should do."

After drinking a glass of wine, Liu Qing smacked his lips and continued: "Secondly, please come here, sir. There is one more thing I want to ask you for advice."

"Please speak, Your Majesty." Xun You's attitude was lukewarm, neither salty nor bland.

It seems that the identity of the Xun family did not bring a sense of intimacy, maybe, maybe, it is a generation gap.

"Since this king captured Luoyang, all parties have made arrangements. However, there is still one position that has not been confirmed. Gong Da has been in Luoyang for a long time, and I am here to ask for advice."

"What position is it?"

"Captain Sili." Liu Qing said.

Xun You was silent for a few breaths, then suddenly smiled. Obviously, he had already guessed Liu Qing's plan.

He also knows a lot about the character of the King of Bohai through Xun Yu, and he also knows why the King of Bohai wants to recruit him. Asking him about this topic has already made it clear.

"Is there a candidate in your majesty's mind?" Xun You asked back.

Liu Qing nodded, "Not bad."

"Then why do you need to ask more questions?"

"I don't know if he is willing or not." Liu Qing said, looking directly at Xun You, as if he wanted to see something from his small eyes.

Xun You also looked back at Liu Qing, his eyes met for a long time.

"Haha, hahaha!" The two suddenly laughed at the same time.

Xun You got up immediately, walked to Liu Qing's case, and knelt down to Liu Qing with one hand on the hem of his clothes, "For the sake of the king's ambition, you are willing to do the work of a dog and a horse!"

Liu Qing was really shocked by Xun You's strength. This series of combat characteristics is simply a fighting machine.

Think about it, should he continue to be the captain of Sili, isn't this a lack of talent?
Liu Qing came back to his senses, and quickly stepped forward to help Xun You up.

He said with a smile, "I've got Gongda, and I'm like a tiger with wings added. In the future, when I go south, the poor mountains and rivers will be flat!"

"My lord is overrated!"

"Come and sit down! Let me tell you about the Sili Captain!"

Xun You sat back in his original seat, "My lord, please tell me."

"As for the position of Captain Sili, I only know a general idea, and it is his duty of supervision. However, what this king wants is more than that..."

Liu Qing spoke out his idea, which is to join the collection of explicit and dark intelligence. Since he is a supervisory official, he should not be superficial.

As far as the current court is concerned, Liu Qing may not have any information needs, but one day the start of the New Deal will directly touch the core interests of the gentry tyrants.

"The function my lord mentioned is a bit ordinary, and it exceeds the authority of the captain of Sili." Xun You said.

"Gongda, let go and do it. If there is anything, this king will take it. If you need manpower, just ask."

"Here!"

"Come, drink!" Liu Qing raised his glass and respected Xun You again.

Today, I got Xun You, and my subordinates got another big help, so I feel very happy. After talking about the business, Liu Qing talked with Xun You about a lot of secrets about Luoyang. Satisfied with wine and meat, Xun You was sent back to the mansion by Zhao Yun.

Liu Qing was in a happy mood, humming a little tune and went back to the house, Diao Chan hurriedly greeted him.

"I have seen the king."

Although he wasn't drunk, but a bit over the top, Liu Qing grabbed Diao Chan and put his face up, smelling the woman's fragrance for a while, Liu Qing said lightly: "Excuse me."

Then he hugged Diao Chan by the waist.

What's the matter with Baonuansi?
Dian Wei, who was following behind, frowned, and consciously closed the bedroom door.

Although it was not the first time to see Liu Qing's wolfish side, Diao Chan still asked curiously: "Why is your king so happy?"

"It's okay to be happy!"

What Liu Qing meant was that only when things are done can they be happy. After saying that, Liu Qing sat straight on the couch, with Diao Chan nestled in his arms, and two red clouds flew up on his cheeks, looking like a shy woman. Seeing this, Liu Qing , suddenly excited, a pair of big hands, slipped in along the clothes gap between Diao Chan's waist and abdomen...

……

The sun rises, the earth begins to heat up, and the mist that fills the countryside begins to disperse.

"My lord, my lord!"

Yuan Shu was awakened by a call.

"It's time to eat."

It was Yang Hong who spoke. He held a bowl of gruel and handed it to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu glanced at the thin porridge soup, with a few yellowed rice grains floating on it, and instinctively felt disgusted.

"Is there any cake?" Yuan Shu asked.

Yang Hong shook his head, "The luggage is lost, my lord, we only have two days of rations left, and these are allocated by the soldiers."

After all, ordinary soldiers would bring rations, but civil servants and generals such as Yuan Shu would not bring them by themselves. Who could have imagined that all the food, grass and supplies would be lost, and the soldiers' rations would become their only reliance.

"Don't worry, my lord, if we persist for another two days, we will be able to reach Chixian County, and when we arrive in Chixian County, we will be able to have enough food."

Yuan Shu stretched out his hand and took the pottery bowl tremblingly, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.

When did he, Yuan Gonglu, use such a waste weapon and eat such a waste food!
However, there was a drum beating in his belly, and it was impossible not to drink, Yuan Shu took it, gritted his teeth and drank it.

"Any news from the various armies in Nanyang?" Yuan Shu asked.

Yang Hong shook his head.

At this time, Yan Xiang said: "Wars broke out in Chi County and Xie County, but the garrison here has followed Wan County's fall, assembled southward, and stationed in the area of ​​Yushui. My lord, after we replenish in Chi County, we have to bypass it." Only in Wan County can we meet with soldiers and horses."

Yuan Shu hit the haystack with a fist, and said angrily, "Lead me to regroup, and I will definitely kill Li Jue and Zhang Ji!"

Since leaving Luoyang, he fled all the way. The rear army Xu Huang pursued, and Niu Fu in front intercepted him. Finally, he got rid of Niu Fu and rushed to Luyang. As a result, Xu Huang's cavalry caught up again. In the end, Yuan Shujun was out of breath. With one bite, he fled south again, but Xu Huang's army was stationed in Luyang.

Yang Hong and Yan Xiang looked at each other and nodded.

Yan Xiang said: "Duke Yuan, I heard that Sun Jian's army march in Jiangxia went smoothly, and he has arrived in Shaxian. Will Mr. Yuan send someone to recall him to attack Wan County together? That is more certain."

When Sun Jian was mentioned, Yuan Shu instinctively clutched the embroidered bag around his waist, which contained the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom.

Others thought that Sun Jian was sent by Yuan Shu to attack Jiangxia, but in fact, Yuan Shu knew that even if he sent someone to invite Sun Jian, Sun Jian would not come back.

But for the sake of morale, Yuan Shu still planned to keep this matter a secret.

"Since Sun Wentai is progressing smoothly, let him enter Jiangxia. If we win Jiangxia, maybe we don't need to fight against Wan County." Yuan Shu pretended to smile and said it calmly.

In fact, Yuan Shu at this moment was feeling depressed. Even though he had summoned the remaining troops, he was very pessimistic about taking back Wan County.

Looking back, Yuan Shu suddenly regretted entering Luoyang.

Originally, I was in Nanyang with a strong army, Sun Jian, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Yu She, etc. under my command. Now, Luo Yang came back, Sun Jian left, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun disappeared, and Yu She He died in the battle in Wan County, and there was only Qiao Rui by his side.

"Master, in your opinion, is it possible for our army to take back Wan County?"

Yan Xiang shook his head, "Ruowan County is only guarded by some warriors, maybe there is something to be done, but now that Jia Xu is in the city, it is very difficult to make calculations."

Yuan Shu was not disappointed after hearing this, because he had no expectations for Wan County in his heart.

"Since Wan County is unavailable, can our army advance to other areas?"

"Yuan Gong, if you really want to give up Nanyang, Yangzhou may be a good place to go. After crossing Jiangxia, you will reach Lujiang County in Yangzhou." Yang Hong suggested.

At this time, Qiao Rui suddenly interjected: "Mr. Yuan, if you go to Lujiang, the Qiao family may help you again!"

It was only then that Yuan Shu remembered that the Qiao family was considered powerful in Lujiang, and many of Lujiang's former officials were former officials of the Yuan family. Perhaps, this road was more appropriate than attacking Wan County. In addition, Sun Jian and Huang Zu were now fighting fiercely in Jiangxia. Crossing the border from Jiangxia is relatively difficult to be blocked.

"Hey, let's talk about it after meeting the remnants first!" Yuan Shu sighed weakly, not wanting to get entangled.

Just take one step at a time.

……

I have been in Luoyang for a month, and the development of all parties is very smooth.

Zhang Yun took over and reorganized the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army, Zhang Liao stationed at Yique Pass, Zhao Yun set up camp ten miles east of the city, and Hangu Pass to the west, thus forming a four-defense trend against Luoyang.

The recruits brought by Liu Qing from Jizhou were assigned to Xun You. Originally, the captain of Sili had less than 2000 military commanders. Now, because of Liu Qing's special needs, these recruits will receive new special training. Layers of selection and elimination, and finally create an elite team.

Gao Shun and Zhang Ning have gone to their respective counties, Yang Biao has also withdrawn and returned to Hongnong for integration, and Tian Feng is busy with state affairs all day long.

Remarks: It is limited to the state affairs of Sili.

Sadly, this is the influence of the court today.

Liu Qing, on the other hand, seemed much more leisurely in Luoyang Que, occasionally going to the court to listen to politics, often walking the streets and riding horses, and frequently playing Diaochan.

Liu Qing is waiting, waiting for the end of the autumn harvest and the full warehouse of grain and millet.

Dian Wei strode into the study room and saw Liu Qing buried in his letter.

"My lord, Nanyang urgent report."

Is there any news from Nanyang at last?Did Jia Xu already destroy Yuan Shu?

Liu Qing took a look, frowned, and found that things were far from as simple as he thought.

"Invite Feng Xiao and Gong Da!" Liu Qing said.

Half an hour later, Guo Jia and Xun You appeared in Liu Qing's study.

Liu Qing cut to the chase, "Nanyang urgently reported that Yuan Shu returned to Nanyang. After gathering in Jiyang for a period of time, more than 2 soldiers and horses suddenly disappeared out of thin air."

"Disappear?" Guo Jia showed a puzzled expression, which meant that his plan to drive tigers and wolfs away had aborted.

"Yes, they just disappeared. According to Wen He's letter, their soldiers and horses are mainly stationed in Wan County, and they will send scouts to the Jiyang Yuyang area every day to patrol. Yuan Jun disappeared almost overnight."

"Perhaps Yuan Jun knew that he was powerless to capture Wan County, so he chose to develop south and seek a foothold." Guo Jia said.

After listening, Xun You shook his head.

"My lord, if I were Yuan Shu and failed to attack Wan County, I might as well give up Nanyang completely. Wan County is the core of Nanyang. The rest of the cities will either be under the attack of Liu Biao's water army, or they will be small towns. They are worthless. .”

"Then where can he go?"

Xun You pulled the map from the case, pointed with his finger, and said: "First, go south along the Xia River and enter Changsha with Sun Jian; At least he is a former official of the Yuan family."

"I'm inclined to the second statement. The probability of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian side by side is not great." Guo Jia added.

"So, Yuan Shu fled to Lujiang?" Liu Qing glanced at Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao's plan won't work."

Guo Jia laughed back, "That's not necessarily the case, my lord, since Yuan Shu is gone, I'm afraid Liu Biao won't be able to sit still."

"The meaning of filial piety is that Liu Biao will march into Nanyang?"

"Nanyang was originally the county of Jingzhou, Liu Biao took it, and the name is justified." Guo Jia replied.

How can this work!Liu Qing was the first to refuse!

"It seems that the Xiliang army has to be dealt with in other ways. Xu Huang was ordered to go south immediately and station in Xinye!" Liu Qing stretched out his hand and landed on Xinye County on the map.

Following the map all the way to the east, Liu Qing looked at the Lujiang River south of Runan.

"Yuan Shu hid behind his elder brother. It seems that Yuan Shao must be eliminated first."

Liu Qing pushed the map to Xun You, and smiled at them, "It's up to you to ask Yuan Fanglue!"

Guo Jia shook his head helplessly, expressing that his night life was going to be ruined, while Xun You said "here" sternly.

After assigning the work, Liu Qing clapped his hands and was about to run away, but saw Dian Wei coming again, followed by a soldier in different clothes.

The soldier's face was flushed, he was sweating profusely, and he was out of breath.

"An urgent report?" Liu Qing guessed subconsciously.

"My lord, an urgent report from Guangling, the navy was attacked by pirates, one of the warships was burned, another was seized, and the loss of food and grass was heavy."
