Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 463 It's Not Justice, It's Revenge
"Ji Ling, the general under Duke Yuan's tent, has been defeated by you now. He has nothing to say. If you want to kill him, kill him!" Ji Ling's head and heart were bent, ready to face death.

With a little force, Liu Qing snatched the three-pointed two-edged knife from his hand, and looked at it twice.

"What a unique weapon, what a pity."

This is the weapon used by Erlang God Yang Jian. Obviously, Ji Ling's strength is difficult to match.

"Yuan Shu's arrogance and pronouncing himself the Son of Heaven is a rebellion. As a subject of the great Han Dynasty, why do you want to help the tyrant and not repent?"

As Liu Qing spoke, his eyes gradually fell on Ji Ling.

"Yuan Gong and I have the kindness of knowing each other, and we should repay it with death. How can I betray my loyalty for a mere life!" Ji Ling obviously has the heart of death.

Liu Qing admired loyalty as more important than life, but he didn't agree with this kind of foolish loyalty, so he didn't want to do what Ji Ling wanted.

Ji Ling's spirit may be precious, but can Yuan Shu deserve it?
He doesn't deserve it!
"The wrong has its head, the debt has its owner, and the source of rebellion lies with the Yuan family. If you want to sacrifice your life for righteousness, this king will not allow you. This king will let you watch with your own eyes, and the Yuan family will be destroyed!"

"You..." Ji Lingqi didn't hit one place, and scolded: "Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated!"

As he said that, he was about to draw his sword, but Liu Qing preemptively struck. The end of the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand pressed back the half-drawn sword that Ji Ling had pulled out.

When Dian Wei saw Ji Ling drawing his sword, he thought he was trying to harm Liu Qing, so he slapped him on the back with his halberd, knocking him off the horse.

"My lord is benevolent, I spare your life, you don't know what is good and what is bad, my lord, just kill this kind of person!" Dian Wei said.

kill?No, no, how easy it is to kill people, but what a waste.

How many people can there be only one Ji Ling? The three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand probably weighs sixty to seventy catties. Ji Ling is handy and naturally has good endurance.

It would be a pity not to plow.

Ji Ling was knocked down, and two guards pressed him down immediately. Although Ji Ling was strong, but he was injured, two guards with [-] strength were more than enough to handle him.

After Ji Ling was dealt with, there was no suspense in the next battle. Yuan Shu's cavalry were killed or wounded, and those who fled were also counted. They surrendered on the spot. After all, not everyone has Ji Ling's consciousness.

Guo Jia and Xun Yan stepped into the camp, picked and avoided corpses, and tiptoed to the camp of the Chinese Army.

"Arrange those who did not participate in the fight to stay on duty at night, and take turns to do it. Everyone else will be in the account to rest. As for the corpses of Yuan Jun, we will talk about it tomorrow."

"My lord, where are those surrendered soldiers?"

"Confiscate the weapons, send someone to watch them, and bring them into Shu County tomorrow."

"Here."

Dian Wei took the order to leave, and Guo Jia and Xun Yan happened to enter the account.

"My lord, Shenwu, swept away Yuan Jun in less than an hour, and will..."

"Okay, ok, Feng Xiao, you really should be flattering, aren't you sleepy?" Liu Qing interrupted Guo Jia, at this time, it was almost time to be ugly.

"How can a lord fight and a subject sleep?" Guo Jia said, pulling Xun Yan to sit beside him.

"It's strange to say that Yuan Shu has already run away. Even after Liu Ji Ling died, why did Ji Ling stay in this camp?" Liu Qing asked.

The two pondered for a while.

"Perhaps Ji Ling is too confident and feels that the people of Shu County can't help him. This is Ji Ling's provocative move." Xun Yan said.

Guo Jia also went on to say: "I watched the Yuan army who died in the battle. They were all armored. Obviously they slept with their armor on. Ji Ling was stationed in this battalion. I am afraid that he wanted to lure the defenders of Shu County to attack, so that they could fight back in one fell swoop. Ruoshu County defenders If the army is wiped out, the Lujiang River will not be protected! This is a trick to lure the enemy!"

"What a trick to lure the enemy, but it's a pity that I met this king!" Liu Qing laughed.

"The tiger guards split the formation to clear the way, the imperial guards cavalry with turbulent spears, and Ji Ling's cavalry met the lord, it was really bad luck." Guo Jia laughed.

"Okay, okay, let the two gentlemen stay up late, first find a place to sleep well, the king is also tired."

When the two left the tent, Liu Qing also touched his armor, thinking in his heart, that's all, just to be on the safe side, let's learn from Ji Ling and sleep with the armor on.

……

The next day, the scorching sun rose, printing a red glow on the horizon, as if it was stained by the blood of last night.

The sun is shining, but people can't feel the warmth, and when the wind blows, there is only cold.

Cao Cao personally led the army, and together with Chen Gong and Lu Bu, marched towards Yuan Shu's camp.

"I heard that Ji Lingshang was stationed in the camp. Today, you and our two armies joined forces to attack him and occupy this camp for our army's use!" Cao Cao laughed.

"What Shijun said is true, Ji Ling does not retreat, he is bringing shame on himself!" Chen Gong responded, looking at Lu Bu, full of confidence.

The two places were not far apart, and when they were about to reach the camp, the scouts came back.

"General Qi, something has changed in Yuan Jun's camp! A group of unknown soldiers and horses have occupied the camp and are carrying Yuan Jun's body outside."

The scout's words immediately alerted Cao Cao.

"You said that it was Yuan Jun's corpse that was being transported? Are you serious?"

"Don't dare to be false, they are indeed Yuan Jun's corpses, and there are quite a few!" The scout confirmed.

Cao Cao glanced at Chen Gong and saw confusion in his eyes.

"There are other forces in this Lujiang River? They can eat Ji Ling, so they are quite powerful." Chen Gong said.

"Could it be that the Yuan family killed each other?" Cao Cao boldly speculated.

"Except for Runan Yuan Shao, I really can't think of anyone else who has this ability!" Chen Gong said while thinking, and then asked Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, when you attacked Pei Guo, did Yuan Jun resist?"

"No, only a few soldiers in Peiguo made symbolic resistance, and most of them surrendered in hopelessness. It seems that Yuan Jun had already given up on Peiguo," Cao Cao said.

"Geographically speaking, Yuan Shao lost Xuzhou in the far distance, Liang State in the near future, and Pei State was sandwiched between them. For Yuan Shao, the garrison was meaningless, so he gave up. However, the Lujiang River connects Jiujiang to the east, rejects Jiangxia to the west, and connects Runan to the north. Yuzhang in Nantong is the pivot of Yuan Shao's dominance in Yuzhou and Yangzhou, how can he hand it over to his younger brother Yuan Gonglu?" Chen Gong replied.

Hearing Chen Gong's words, Cao Cao became much clearer, and looked back at the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers.

"No matter who it is, there is no room for loss in Lujiang. He only belongs to the big man. If Yuan Shao comes, don't blame him for not thinking about his childhood friendship!" Cao Cao said angrily, waving his horsewhip.

Leading the army to move on, not long after, Cao Cao and others saw with their own eyes the scene that the scouts were talking about.

The corpses were neatly lined up, there were hundreds of them, and they were carried out from time to time at the gate of the camp. There was also another group of people cleaning up their armor and clothes.

Looking at those busy figures, Chen Gong recognized at a glance that they were the imperial guards of King Bohai!

"My lord's guard, why are you here?" Chen Gong said.

When Chen Gong pointed it out, Cao Cao also thought of it, and compared it with the image of the imperial guard in his memory, it really is!

Cao Cao and Chen Gong looked at each other and looked at each other.

Xiahou Dun reminded: "My lord, they clearly saw us, why didn't they be vigilant?"

After being reminded by Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao and Chen Gong became more convinced.

When Cao Jun arrived, Liu Qing quickly received the notification and was leading Ji Ling out of the camp.

When they met at the gate of the camp, Cao Cao, Chen Gong and Lu Bu rushed towards Liu Qing.

Although they rested overnight, it was obvious that the three of them were tired. The young Lu Bu was fine, but Cao Cao and Chen Gong looked very haggard.

"I have seen the king!" The three saluted in unison.

Liu Qing smiled gratifiedly, "Meng De, Gongtai, Fengxian, don't come here unharmed, you have worked hard this journey, Shu County is unharmed, right?"

"Returning to my lord, Shu County has not been breached, but the defense of the city suffered a lot of losses, and the prefect Lu Kang was slightly injured." Chen Gong replied.

"It's fine if you don't break the city, is Governor Lu okay?"

"Everything is fine!" Cao Cao replied.

"Let's go, visit Shu County." Liu Qing ordered.

Cao Cao waved his hand, "Zi Lian, come here!"

Cao Hong immediately came forward.

"Your Majesty, let Zilian deal with the aftermath of this place," Cao Cao said.

Cao Hong cupped his hands at Liu Qing.

"Yuan Jun's body, after removing his clothes, was first burned and then buried to avoid the occurrence of epidemic diseases. All the captured soldiers' armor and war horses will be put into the treasury of Shu County." Liu Qing ordered.

"Order!"

On the way back to the city, Lu Bu and Liu Qing recounted what happened on the day of the battle, and how vulnerable Yuan Jun was. Of course, Lu Bu also focused on the highlight moment of killing Xun Zheng.

But just as Lu Bu said, if you don't have enough troops, it's very blue to block Lu Bu and Xiahou brothers.

The city gate of Shu County was wide open, and Lu Kang personally came to welcome the troops and Ma Kaixuan. It took less than an hour for Yuan Jun to go to the camp to be empty.

However, when Lu Kang saw the person coming, he found that Cao Cao was not standing in the middle, but was standing on both sides of the person with Chen Gong. That posture obviously respected him.

Lu Kang couldn't help being confused for a moment.

Walking up to him, Liu Qing looked at the thin and capable Lu Kang, and bowed his hands to him.

"Prefect Lu, I have admired his name for a long time, and we finally meet today." Liu Qing laughed.

Lu Kang's eyes lit up, the other party regarded himself as "the king", and was guarded by Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao and Liang Guoxiang Chen Gong, that identity gradually became clear in his heart.

It used to be a long way to thank the King of Bohai for his kindness, wishing to see him, but now, the King of Bohai is standing in front of him, and the words and phrases with his old friend Ba Zhi in the past unconsciously came to mind, Lu Kang couldn't help it for a while, his eyes turned red.

"My next official, Lu Kang, welcome the King of Bohai!" After saying that, Lu Jiang knelt down and put his forehead and hands on the ground.

Cao Cao and Chen Gong were also taken aback. Even if the king saved Lujiang County, then Lu Kang didn't need to perform this great gift, right?
Liu Qing dismounted quickly, and quickly stepped forward to help Lu Kang up.

When his hands touched him, he felt trembling all over. Lu Kang raised his head, and when he saw Liu Qing's appearance, he was already in tears.

Liu Qing was stunned, it was the first time seeing this old man, why did it feel like he had recognized his relatives?

"Your Majesty, please stand up!" Liu Qing said softly.

Lu Kang climbed up with support on his right hand, but his left hand was obviously not flexible, and it was obvious that his left hand was injured.

"Please, Your Majesty!" Lu Kang led the way to the city gate and invited Liu Qing to enter.

Liu Qing looked around, but there were traces of battle under the gate, but they were not obvious. Logically, there should be no time to clean up the city. Maybe this place is not the main direction of Yuan Shu's attack.

When a group of people entered the city, all the houses far away from the city wall were demolished, and now there are people working on the ruins. These civil buildings near the city wall should be demolished and used as supplies for the city defense. Can be used for defense.

"This king captured a lot of Yuan Jun last night. These people were left to Lord Lu to repair the city walls and houses. However, the Lord must provide them with food and lodging, and they must not be abused. After the project is completed, they will be freed. " Liu Qing said.

Lu Kang stopped in his tracks and bowed to Liu Qing, "I have heard for a long time that the king is known for his benevolence and his heart is for the common people. When I see you today, I really have a benevolent heart and a broad mind."

Lu Kang meant that Zhai's benevolence is for the people of Shu County, and his broad-mindedness is for Yuan Jun's captives.

"The lord of the house is too famous, and they are all the people of my Han family. How can this king sit back and watch them fight each other? Of course, the Yuan family deserves to die, and his followers should also be punished. However, there are so many people under his control, what is the crime? They serve Mrs. Yuan, the one pictured is nothing more than a full bowl of rice." Liu Qing sighed sincerely.

When Lu Kang heard this, his heart was touched. What the King of Bohai said was exactly what he thought in his heart. Before Lujiang rebelled many times, he also used various methods to suppress, appease, and relieve, and he also understood this through experience again and again. Reason: There is no such thing as treason, but it is just to get a bite.

A group of people entered the county mansion, Liu Qing was the first to be seated, and the rest of them sat next to each other.

"It's a great blessing that there is nothing wrong with the Lujiang River. Now that Yuan Shu is fleeing south, all the armies will prepare their troops immediately, and tomorrow they will send troops to conquer the second city of Juchao and Anhui County!" The chief sat down, and Liu Qing first expressed his opinion on the southern expedition, sending out Yuan Shu made the vow of immortality.

Lu Kang breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's leave the matter of food and grass to the lower officials."

"The Lord Laofu will be responsible for the matter of food and grass, Meng De, is there still a war in Peiguo?"

"It's okay, we can march south with the king!" Cao Cao declared.

"Okay! Meng De and I will march south together, first to punish Yuan Shu, and then to destroy Yuan Shao! Mr. Lu, I hope you can host a banquet for the generals!"

Lu Kang took the order and said, "Follow the order."

Liu Qing glanced over the crowd, finally landed on Lu Kang, immediately got up and walked down from the main seat, and said: "Everyone take care of yourselves to rest and recharge your energy, this king and Governor Lu are going to walk around the city to see the scenery of Shu County. "

As he spoke, Liu Qing stepped forward to help Lu Kang's right hand.

The reason why he called Lu Kang away alone was because Liu Qing had an intuition, which was very strong from the first time he met Lu Kang.

The two left the county mansion on horseback, and walked aimlessly along the East Street.

"My lord, why did you cry when you saw this king?" Liu Qing asked curiously.

"It's a long story, compared to the lord until Pakistani history."

"Is it related to the history of Pakistan?"

Liu Qing was slightly surprised. He helped Lujiang firstly to cut off Yuan Shu's way of life, secondly, to contain Yuan Shao, and thirdly, for Yangzhou, Lujiang was a good springboard.

However, Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, had a heart for the court and would restrain Yuan Shu, which gave Liu Qing room to maneuver.

At first, I thought it was Lu Kang's choice, a heaven-sent opportunity, but now it seems that things are not as simple as I thought.

"Your Majesty must have understood the heart of Governor Ba. If Governor Ba is still around at this time, he will definitely rely on Yangzhou." Lu Kang cut to the chase and directly delivered big news to Liu Qing.

In the past when Li Shui visited Ba Zhi, Ba Zhi treated him with kindness and kindly called Liu Qing the little master. Liu Qing thought it was all because he was a former official of his father and king, but he did not expect such a big hand. .

Then, his death may also be inseparable from this matter.

Could it be that Chen Wen was aware of Ba Zhi's intentions, so he leaked it to Yuan Shao, and finally the two joined forces to murder Ba Zhi, and then captured Yangzhou, and made Chen Wen the governor of Yangzhou.

Thinking of this, Liu Qing couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.

Yuan Shao's plot to murder is abominable, but in troubled times, such plots are happening all the time, and Ba Zhi's murder is also an example. Liu Qing only feels that he should seek justice for Ba Zhi, so as to show his soul.

But now, if Ba only incurs the murder for himself, it means another thing to Liu Qing.

It is no longer for justice, but for revenge.

Liu Qing's complexion suddenly became stern, and his voice became hollow, wanting to confirm.

"You mean, the governor of Pakistan wanted to entrust Yangzhou to this king?"
