The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 360 Inside Jinhua Hall, Under Linzi City

In the Jinhua Hall, Liu Bian looked at the memorial presented by the Ministry of War and asked, "The war in Jizhou is not going well. Is there any solution?"

Liu Ji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there are a large number of rebels in Jizhou, and there are many muskets. You need to give Du Yu some time. In addition, Guo Huai should have arrived in Qingzhou, and then the battle between Qingzhou and Jizhou started at the same time. It can make the rebels have no time to support each other, and the main force of the rebels can be wiped out within a month."

Hearing his words, Liu Bian nodded slightly: "Hao'er, you and Liu Shangshu are here to discuss the next battle policy. Try to wipe out the rebels in the two states within a month. We must resume shipping and reorganize the two states before the autumn harvest. The official road from the state to Chang'an."

"Yes, Father."

Two thousand new troops marched towards Dongping. They had to go to Dongping first, replenish their equipment and ammunition, and then go to Linzi.Along the way, the common people looked at the weapons and equipment of the new army, as well as the new military uniforms that were completely different from the old army, which gave the entire team a new look.

Dongping defender Cheng Qiao was receiving the people sent by Rong Xia at this time, and Rong Xia asked his subordinate Bao Li to take over Dongping's defense with his troops.Cheng Qiao is also his man and has always provided protection for smuggling.

Now hearing Rong Xia's rebellion, Cheng Qiao was surprised and accepted it immediately.He asked his men to reorganize the army, opened the warehouse and let Bao Li's men load the weapons and equipment to Linzi.

Next, he will return to Linzi with Bao Li, and Dongping will let Liu Shao's son Liu Jai manage it.If they don't show some sincerity, it will be difficult to tie Liu Shao to their chariot.

"General, there is a new army coming into the city outside the city, with a warrant from the Ministry of War." The principal said to Cheng Qiao.

Hearing his words, Bao Li said: "We can't let them enter the city. The new army is strong. Once they enter the city, it will be difficult for us to resist."

Cheng Qiao nodded and said: "Well, let's tell them that there were bandits attacking the city just yesterday. We have now received an order to strictly prohibit anyone from entering the city and let them leave."

"Yes, I'll do it when I'm young."

Meng Jingming is not a good-tempered person. He looked at the city without opening the city gate for so long.He pointed at the city wall and cursed: "Open the door for me, can you afford to miss the general's business?"

At this time, the little school who had reported to Cheng Qiao also came back, and shouted to Guo Huai and the others at the base of the city: "General, it's not that I can't wait to open the gate, but the general's residence has an order that no one is allowed to enter or leave the city gate. Because there were bandits attacking the city yesterday, and Dongping is where the arsenal is, I really dare not let the general enter the city at will."

Hearing his words, Meng Jingming yelled: "Fuck you, your general can still be bigger than the Ministry of War? Didn't you see that this is an order from the Ministry of War? If you don't open the city quickly, you will be punished by military law."

Seeing Meng Jingming's tough attitude, not to be fooled, the school principal said to the people around him: "Go and invite the general, and the others should be careful."

Turning to Meng Jingming, he said, "General, don't embarrass me. I'm just conveying the order of the general's mansion. There are so many rebels in Qingzhou, so we have to be careful."

Meng Jingming kept scolding under the city, and the defenders on the city were also very panicked.After all, they have already followed Rong Xia's rebellion, if they are discovered by the new army, their lives will be lost.

The reorganization in Linzi City has been completed, and Zhang Qi also brought back the news that Liu Shao sent his son to Dongping to help defend.All this made Rong Xia feel that his decision was correct, and the person he sent to Chang'an to deliver the letter should have arrived soon.

Next, there will be more troops to aid themselves.With Qingzhou's terrain, if you can't beat it, you can escape by boat.

Rong Xia has already thought of both the best and the worst outcome, and the rest depends on the court's response to them.I just hope that Chaoge's army doesn't come too fast, Linzi's city defenses have just begun to be built, and it will take at least half a month to take shape.

"Zhang Qi, since you're back, go and keep an eye on the construction of the fortifications, which must be completed within half a month." Rong Xia said in an unquestionable tone.

Zhang Qi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, respect the order of the great general."

There were not many materials for construction around Linzi City, so Zhang Qi ordered people to demolish the houses near the city wall.He sent people to kill many people who disagreed.The people are afraid that the rebels will kill people at will, and they all want to leave the city.

Looking at the chaotic city gate, cold sweat dripped from Zhang Qi's forehead. Once these people are allowed to leave the city, the news of their rebellion will definitely be spread.

Once the imperial army came too fast, the fortifications on their side had not been completed, and what awaited them was the fate of death.

So he ordered his men to drive the people into the street and lock them up.

"General, I'm afraid there must be thousands of people here. How can we have such a big place to detain them?"

Zhang Qi was also taken aback by the words of his subordinates. Looking at the common people who were fighting with the soldiers, he said angrily: "Take them to build the city, and kill those who dare to resist."

His subordinates hacked the leading civilians to death, and shouted to the rest of the people: "Everyone be quiet, or these people will be your fate."

The common people did not expect that the officers and soldiers would kill people at will, so they stood still and did not dare to speak.Zhang Qi's men tied up the men with ropes and escorted them to build fortifications outside the city.Women, children and the elderly were not spared either, and were escorted to transport wood and stone from the demolished houses to the outskirts of the city.

The State Shepherd's Mansion was occupied by Rong Xia. He occupied all the surrounding houses and let his subordinates live in it.200 people were also selected to be responsible for his safety.

The chief secretary Wang Li said: "General, Liu Shao's son Liu Jai has arrived."

"Oh, quickly take me to meet you."

Hearing the news, Rong Xia was elated.He was worried that there was no one to defend Dongping. It would take some time for the troops he sent to collect in various counties in Qingzhou to come back.Now that the west of Linzi has not given up his power, he does not dare to infiltrate into Liaocheng and other places, for fear that exposing himself will make the court discover his rebellion prematurely.

Liu Ja only brought two soldiers to see Rong Xia, he left his troops outside the city, he knew that Rong Xia was a cautious person, if he brought a large army into the city, Rong Xia would think that he was going to occupy Linzi.

As soon as he saw Liu Jaw, Rong Xia enthusiastically held his hand and said, "My nephew is indeed a good-looking talent, let uncle take a good look at it."

"My uncle, please be respected by my nephew." As he spoke, he was about to bow down.

Rong Xia held his hand and didn't let him kneel down. He pointed to the State Shepherd's Mansion and said, "I have asked someone to prepare food and drink for you. I want to have a knee-to-neck talk with you tonight, and tomorrow you will take someone there. Dongping, that will be your chassis from now on."
