Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 8 Tian Toyota Yuanhao Takes Effect

Liu Qing held a banquet in the mansion, but this reception banquet turned into a celebration banquet.

Liu Qing sits at the head, Tian Feng Jushou sits on the left, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and Li Shui sit on the right.

For this ranking, Tian Feng was a little surprised. In his opinion, Liu Qing was adopted by Jushou, so Jushou should be the main one.

Zhao Yun stepped forward and first reported the results of the battle.

"My lord, in this battle, the enemy general He Jin was beheaded. More than [-] enemy soldiers were beheaded, and more than [-] people surrendered. More than [-] horses were confiscated. The weapons were messy, and no statistics were made."

"Thanks to Zilong Junyi for being brave, come, let me toast you two!"

Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

Jushou and Tian Feng were sitting next to each other, having a glass of wine and talking, drinking happily.

After a few cups of wine, Tian Feng felt light, and he had something to say in his heart, and he couldn't spit it out.

"Ju Shou! You are too unkind. Liu Qing is a hero in the world, but you call him a traitor. You should be punished!" Tian Feng pointed at the wine.

"I punish myself three times, do you agree?"

As he said that, Ju Shou drank three cups in a row and breathed out frequently, obviously enjoying himself very much.

In the two years of running the county, he has never drank so heartily.

"Last year, there was a severe drought, and the crops were not harvested. The people dig grass and eat it. As a county magistrate, you don't want to appease the people. Why do you still build a lot of construction in the city, wasting people and money, should you be punished?"

"It should be punished!"

Jushou said without hesitation, holding up the wine to drink, suddenly felt something was wrong.

"No, Yuan Haoxiu is going to talk nonsense!" Ju Shou suddenly sobered up, "Look at this Guangping County, is there anyone who is not full?"

Tian Feng pondered, although Guangping County is busy, it seems that there are no refugees, which is very different from Julu's situation.

"The government provides money and food, and the common people contribute their talents. This is called work for relief."

"Relief with work?" Tian Feng savored this unfamiliar word.

"This gentleman is exactly what he said. In the past, the government's relief was mostly porridge, which was a mere formality. The porridge was as thin as water, and most of the money and food flowed into the hands of corrupt officials, but instead of work, the refugees contributed. The government distributed according to their work according to how much they contributed. It is easy to control the refugees and accomplish great things, which is a win-win strategy.”

"It will cost a lot of money." Tian Feng still found a shortcoming.

Liu Qing said with a smile: "Uncle Yuan Hao, listen to me, the money from the people is also taken from the people. Although the sky is not beautiful and there have been droughts in successive years, there is still a lot of food in the hands of the powerful gentry. Qing just knows it and uses it for profit. , There are many people of insight in the big families who understand the truth, so even though the time is lost, there are still people and monks."

Of course, for those who did not cooperate, Liu Qing also took some measures.

In general, it is still convincing.

Tian Feng was surprised when he heard the words, Guangping reasoned properly, if the whole world followed suit, wouldn't the disaster of refugees be certain?
But on second thought, he thought that the imperial court was incompetent, and this matter would definitely be impossible, otherwise he would not have abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown. Unexpectedly, within a few days after returning to Julu, he encountered a riot from the Yellow Turbans, and he had to escape from Julu County.

When I think of my fate, I can't help but feel sullen.

But looking at Guangping County, which is similar to Julu, it is a completely different picture.

Repairing the city wall and training the soldiers were clearly in preparation for war, Tian Feng was suddenly puzzled, did they know about the change of Julu?
How else would you make these preparations?The imperial court has strict control over the soldiers in counties and counties. Except for the border towns, there are almost no permanent troops.

Could it be that in addition to his abilities in business, warfare, and county governance, Liu Qing can also calculate and predict things like a god?
He decided to try it out.

"Gongyu, I received your letter a long time ago, do you know why I haven't come here?"

Ju Shou and Liu Qing looked at each other and said, "The Julu has changed!"

They did know!

But this doesn't explain anything. The Julu incident happened a few days ago, but the preparations for Quang Binh had obviously been going on for a while, so they didn't start to deal with it after hearing something, but they started to take precautions long in advance.

"The county magistrate of Julu has been killed. Zhang Jiao gathers [-] soldiers, wearing yellow scarves, to block Julu. If the gatekeepers are not familiar with me, I still cannot get out of Julu."

Zhang Jiao has already made a move?Liu Qing still couldn't think of it.

"It seems that Zhang Jiao has already noticed something, maybe Tang Zhou's disappearance has aroused his vigilance." Liu Qing said.

"Who is Tang Zhou?" Tian Feng asked.

"Disciple Zhang Jiao, I captured him and sent him to Luoyang. At this time, the arrest warrant for Zhang Jiao should be coming soon."

No wonder!Everything makes sense, the source of all this is Liu Qing in Guangping.

"Guangping builds the city and trains troops. Doesn't my nephew want to defend the city?"

Tian Feng asked directly, he had seen that Ju Shou was the only follower of Liu Qing.

"Does Uncle Yuan Hao think it's feasible?" Liu Qing asked without answering.

"Although there are many thieves in the Taiping Dao, they are not strong enough to attack the city, and Guangping is not the place to attack. Zhang Jiao should not die here." Tian Feng said.

Tian Feng's opinion was basically the same as Liu Qing's. Zhang Jiao's primary goal must be Ye County, the governing body of Jizhou, followed by the governing bodies of the counties and states. After taking these places, he will complete the siege of Luoyang, the capital.

Moreover, Zhang Jiao has been planning for many years, these places should have already installed internal agents, after all, he has even installed internal agents in Luoyang and the palace.

"I agree with Uncle Yuan Hao's opinion. Guangping is not a battleground. As long as we exercise restraint, Zhang Jiao may not necessarily stare at us. If we send a small force, He Jin will be a lesson for us."

"However, there is always time to defend a city. If we can defend it for March and May, how can we defend it for a year and a half."

Tian Feng pointed out the problem. If Zhang Jiao cannot be defeated, he will end up sticking to it.

"Uncle Yuan Hao, don't worry, within a month, the imperial court will definitely send troops to quell the chaos. However, there are a lot of newcomers in Guangping now, and the county's affairs are heavy. The father and uncle are already at their wits' end. I wonder if Uncle Yuan Hao can share one or two of them?"

Ju Shou echoed again and again, nodding in agreement.

Looking at the two people who sang together, Tian Feng didn't understand, so he just made it clear, "Gong Yu, tell me the truth, what is Jun Zheng's identity?"

Seeing that his old friend was in a hurry, Ju Shou couldn't help being amused, and didn't want to keep it any longer.

"Liu Qing is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Suzong Xiaozhang, and the orphan of Bohai King Liu Kui. Yuan Hao understands righteousness. You should know the truth behind the case of Bohai King. You have already sworn allegiance to Liu Qing. What do you want to help him to testify?"

For Jushou's solicitation, Liu Qing was also a little surprised, at least to lay the groundwork, this does not mean directly saying: I fucked him, you can figure it out!
Ju Shou knew Tian Feng well, so he chose to tell the truth.

Tian Feng pondered for a while, thinking of the decay of the capital, and the storm brewing in Julu, and in the center of the vortex of this crisis, there unexpectedly appeared a descendant of Suzong with both civil and military skills, who was preparing to fight the storm in an orderly manner.

Is this God's will?

That being the case, why don't I, Tian Yuanhao, act in accordance with the sky!
Thinking of this, Tian Feng got up soaring, attracting the attention of several people.

He walked right up to Liu Qing's case, and said solemnly, "Tian Feng, willing to follow the lord!"
