Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 30 The Yellow Turban Rebellion
After the moon passed, it was already midnight, and suddenly there were several fires in the city of Zhuo County, and there were shouts everywhere.

The county magistrate came to the government office overnight to report the letter. Liu Qi listened impatiently in his room with sleepy eyes in his pajamas.

After listening to it, he said lazily: "What's the point of being a mere thief? You have followed me for so many years, why are you still so flustered when things happen?"

Jun Cheng hurriedly said: "It's different this time, the thieves broke into the door directly, not only set fire, but also killed people."

"Huh?" Liu Qi's eyes widened, and then he yawned again, waved his hands and said, "Don't panic, be calm when things happen, and an official should not show his emotions or anger, so that he can see the overall situation, and send someone first Go check it out!"

"Obey!" Jun Cheng hurried away.

Liu Qi frowned and said, "Liu and this kid...what the hell are they doing?"

He had told Liu He not to kill and set fire, to offend those aristocratic families too much, and not to hurt innocent people, why did he break into the house by force?

"My lord, something is wrong—" Just as he was about to go back to sleep, Jun Cheng ran back in panic.

"What else is there?" Liu Qi became annoyed.

The magistrate was sweating profusely, more flustered than before, and his voice trembled: "My lord, civil uprisings in the city are burning and killing everywhere, please send troops to suppress it."

"What civil uprising? Isn't it just a few gangs of thieves?" Liu Qi was furious, and said in a deep voice, "Go to Liu He quickly and let him lead the troops to deal with it, and there is no more trouble."

"It seems...the Yellow Turban Army."

"What?" Liu Qi's face changed drastically, and he shouted angrily, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Hurry up, let Zhao Duwei send troops."

"Obey!" Jun Cheng rushed to deliver the order.

"Come here, come here—" Liu Qi shouted, ready to change clothes and go out to check the situation.

He didn't expect that the Yellow Turban Army would rebel at this time. As soon as Lu Xiong led his troops away in the morning, they rebelled in the evening. Obviously, they had planned for a long time and were waiting for the best time.

"Master, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

A gloomy voice came from the door, Liu Qi trembled all over, turned his head and saw that it was the guard Xiang Yuan, with a yellow scarf on his head and a steel knife in his hand, smiling ferociously.

Liu Qi was so frightened that he took two steps back, sat down on the bed, and shouted sharply: "Xiang Yuan, you...you dare to rebel, you are so brave!"

"Hahaha, you dog officials, you only take money and break the law, deceive your subordinates and hide it from your superiors," Xiang Yuan walked in with a knife, and said with a grin: "I have seen so many dirty things in the past few years, I should send you on your way. "

"Xiang Yuan, how dare you... come, come... help..."

Liu Qi's face was pale, and he hid in the bed curtain, yelling hoarsely, he never thought that his guard would become the Yellow Turban Army.

"Master, I want you to die clearly. The villain's name is Cheng Yuanxiang—" The man rushed to the bed, raised a steel knife and shouted angrily, "The Cheng family, who was framed and killed by you five years ago, are you still alive?" remember?"

"You...ah—"

Liu Qi was shocked. Back then, in order to avenge Gongsun Zan's military exploits, he framed the Cheng family as spies who secretly connected with Wuhuan. He did not expect that there was an enemy behind him.

With a scream, Liu Qi was stabbed into the heart by Cheng Yuanxiang, gritted his teeth, turned around twice, turned around and walked away.

When Juncheng returned to the government office, he saw Liu Qi being killed and fainted from fright. When the guards arrived, the city was already in chaos.

At this time, Liu He was still discussing with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. It was indeed Zhang Fei who had hired someone to make trouble during this period, but he didn't take any action tonight. Who was fishing in troubled waters?

Not long after, there was a sudden noise outside, and a few people went out to look, and saw a group of people wearing yellow scarves rushing to Zhang Fei's butcher's shop, fighting with his servants.

"No, it's the yellow turban bandits taking advantage of the chaos to make trouble!" Liu He's heart sank when he saw this, and he immediately said to Guan Yu, "Yun Chang left the city quickly and summoned soldiers to guard the camp. If there are troublemakers, they will be killed!"

"My lord, be careful!" Knowing the urgency of the situation, Guan Yu hurried out of the city.

Liu He returned to Taoyuan, picked up the Xuanyuan Spear that he hadn't tried yet, and was about to lead his horse to the government office. Zhang Fei also came with a butcher's knife and said, "I'll go with you, my lord!"

Liu He shook his head and said, "The thieves are just outside the villa. I think they have already planned to rob the mansions. You should guard the mansion."

Zhang Fei sneered and said, "There are fifty or sixty heroes in the village, and there are only thieves here, so there's nothing they can do here."

"Okay, let's go!" Liu He led the horse out of Taoyuan, and the two got on the horse and went straight to the government office.

At this time, the three streets in the city were already on fire, and the city was filled with the sound of killing, especially the several mansions in the North City were on fire, and black smoke billowed.

Liu He's horse rushed straight across the street. When he saw the Yellow Turban Army chasing the people, he shouted loudly, shook his spear, and assassinated the three people in front of him. The horse galloped past, and more than ten people in the street were scattered.

The thieves were yelling at each other, Zhang Fei followed, and the butcher's knife swept across. Hearing a few muffled bang bang, those people screamed and flew up, hitting the walls on both sides.

Liu He's marksmanship is mainly fast, tearing the gap with ingenuity, like threading a needle, while Zhang Fei's moves are fierce and domineering, rushing straight, like a flood peak crossing a border.

The two rushed to the government office, and there was already chaos inside. The Yellow Turban Army rushed into the mansion, only to see people wrapped in yellow scarves everywhere, and only a few officers and soldiers fought hard to resist.

Urging the horses to rush in, he and Zhang Fei charged left and right into the mansion, where the thieves fell down one after another, until they came to the entrance of the lobby, and saw a scribe directing the servants to resist, although his expression was nervous, but the dispatch was not bad.

Liu He killed the thieves at the door and entered the lobby, while Zhang Fei stood guard at the door, wielding the butcher's knife alone, and killed all the yellow turban thieves who were about to rush up and rolled down the steps.

"Liu Bingcao, you are here at the right time, lead your troops to put down the rebellion!" Seeing Liu He's bravery, the man ran over from behind the desk and said with a bronze medal in his hand, "This is the token of the sheriff, and it can be transferred." Soldiers and horses in the city."

Liu He asked, "Where is Mr. Liu Fu?"

"He...he has been killed by thieves."

"What?" Liu He was taken aback and asked, "Then who are you?"

"Liu Fang, the discipline official in Xiagang, is actually of the same clan as Bingcao, but..."

"You are Liu Fang?" Liu He was taken aback. Isn't this a powerful minister in the later period of Cao Wei?
Liu Fang was highly valued by Cao Cao. In the era of Cao Pi and Cao Rui, he was the order of Zhongshu. He was the last minister of Cao Rui.

Seeing Liu He was surprised, Liu Fang thought that he suspected that he was pretending to be a royal family member, so he quickly explained: "After Liu Rong, the Marquis of Xixiang, he is the last branch."

Liu He took the token, but he had no soldiers in his hand. At this moment, people outside the door shouted horses, and the soldiers and horses from the county finally arrived. .

The person who came was Captain Zhao. After Lu Xiong sent troops, he commanded the [-] defenders in the battalion.

Liu He raised his token and shouted: "The thief wants to capture the government office and take control of the whole city. You take 500 soldiers to guard here, and the rest will follow me to put down the rebellion."

Zhao Duwei saw that Liu He was a young man, he was hesitating, Liu Fang shouted sharply: "This is Liu Bingcao, here is the token of the governor, you must not violate the order!"

Zhao Duwei recognized Liu Fang, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he quickly assigned five small schools to follow Liu He to the outside.
