Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 205 Taking a County to Add to the Fun in the New Year

It was the first time for Li Ru to be seated and served tea in the Queen's Palace.

This shows that the queen thinks highly of him and needs him very much.

Li Ru took a sip of the tea, and the mellow taste brewed in his mouth and nose.

Li Ru said indifferently: "Queen, don't worry, Dong Zhuo's victory is a superficial victory, an immediate victory, and a coercive victory."

Empress He frowned when she heard this.

"I would like to hear more about it," she said.

"Empress, think about it. Dong Zhuo is powerful. Although all the officials are silent, there are quite a few complaints behind their backs. It is unlawful to abolish the elders and establish the young. How can he convince others? This is the immediate victory; he can abolish the elders and establish the young. It is also possible to abolish the young and establish the leader, Dong Zhuo relies on only a large number of soldiers and horses. If you can gather the old army of the general, then let Yuan Gong announce Dong Zhuo's usurpation to the world, and let all the states and counties raise troops to fight against it, and go to Luoyang together. How can Dong Zhuo stop him? Therefore, Dong Zhuo is only an immediate victory; the combination of swords and soldiers, coercion and lure, how can he convince the people of the world that Liu Xie is in power, his name is not right, and his words are not good, this is a victory of coercion." Li Ru breathed out a sigh of relief. explained.

After hearing this, Empress He suddenly felt that the order was much clearer, and then asked: "Then what should I do in my opinion, sir?"

What Li Ru was waiting for was the queen's words, but his suggestion was quite bold, and I'm afraid the queen might not accept it after hearing it.

"The empress can issue a decree to reprimand Dong Zhuo as a usurper, and then raise the world's soldiers and horses to punish him, but beforehand, the empress must take the prince to leave Luoyang to avoid being harmed by Dong Zhuo!" Li Rudao.

Empress He's eyelids twitched, if Dong Zhuo really had such a heart, I am afraid that the two of them would be powerless to fight back.

"Sir, what you said made my hair stand on end. I'm going to take Bian'er away. Why don't you go with us, sir? Please be the doctor of Hongnong Wang!"

Li Ru saluted, "Thank you queen!"

After Dong Zhuo came back, he quickly summoned Jia Xu and told the story of the court, his words were full of joy and complacency.

After Jia Xu heard this, she was not very happy.

Dong Zhuo asked, "Why doesn't Wen He like it?"

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "My lord, Yuan Kai did not fight back, which means that he still has back-ups, so he has to guard against it."

"Is there a second hand? Liu Xie has already ascended the throne, how can he be second?" Dong Zhuo asked puzzled.

"Mr. Dong, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. It is better to send King Hongnong to the fief as soon as possible to avoid any twists and turns. Moreover, we should send someone to personally escort him to ensure that Liu Bian enters Hongnong County."

"Wen He's words are justified, I ordered Li Jue to arrange escorts." Dong Zhuo said.

"In addition, Luoyang's soldiers need to be dealt with urgently. Dong Gong should have all of He Jin's old army, the remnants of the Xiyuan Army, and the Imperial Army in his hands. Didn't the late emperor want to make Liu Biao the Jingzhou shepherd? Dong Gong just took advantage of this time to place his cronies in charge Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army."

"Good! The text and thoughts are impeccable, so I can sit back and relax! But there is one more thing, Ding Yuan is not dead, how to deal with it?"

"Ding Yuan can't stay, and the soldiers of Bingzhou can take it for his own use." Jia Xu said.

……

On Yuan Kui's house.

Yuan Kui had just left the palace, and Empress He had told him about the matter. Yuan Kui thought it over and over again, and felt that it was indeed a feasible plan.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, the official of the mansion came to report in a hurry: "Master! Master! Ding... Ding Yuan asks to see you!"

Ding Yuan?Yuan Kui couldn't believe it for a while, in Luoyang City, Ding Yuan could still walk around at will?Dare to come to find yourself?

However, Yuan Kai's attitude towards Ding Yuan was not the same as last night. At this time, he actually felt a little sympathetic to Ding Yuan, because he was plotted by Dong Zhuo just like himself.

Ding Yuan was beaten as a rebel, but Yuan Kai, a dumb man who ate Coptis chinensis, fell short.

"Tell him to come in!" Yuan Wei said, he wanted to see what Ding Yuan wanted to do.

Not long after, Yuan Kai saw Ding Yuan, his face after a little rest and cleansing, completely lost the vigor of old age, and there was still a trace of embarrassment and exhaustion.

When Ding Yuan entered the mansion, he saw Yuan Kai who was guarded by several famous generals. The old guy hadn't changed his official uniform yet, and he was very respectable, but Ding Yuan couldn't understand Yuan Kai's expression.

Shouldn't he be proud!After defeating the city guard battalion, driving them to a desperate situation, and then giving him a chance to beg for mercy.

"Meet Yuan Gong!"

Yuan Kai replied lukewarmly: "Sit down!"

He watched Ding Yuan take his seat, and remained silent, guessing his intentions in his heart, and at the same time reminded himself that the present Ding Yuan was a traitor recognized by the court, and he might be able to capture and kill him without stopping. In this way, what happened last night can be used as a real "crime" for Ding Yuan.

"Yuan Gong, Ding Yuan was trusted by the Great General. He came to Beijing to take up the post of Jinwu. Yuan's beating, Ding Yuan didn't know how to advance or retreat, and he had lost the trust of the general, now that the general is gone, I hope Yuan Gong can ignore the past and allow our troops to continue serving!" Ding Yuan said, bowing his head sincerely.

Yuan Kui was really taken aback by this astonishing statement.

Ding Jianyang, I didn't say you, you are rebellious now, how could I let you work, then I gave Dong Zhuo a handle, Yuan Wei slandered.

However, after thinking about it again, in the palace, Empress He had informed her plan to evacuate Luoyang. In this plan, both sides knew that Dong Zhuo would never allow Liu Bian to disappear under his nose. He will definitely send troops to escort.

However, the plan Yuan Kai and Empress He made was not to go to Hongnong County, but to another place.Therefore, it is necessary to have a strong army to "rob" Liu Bian.

Under Ding Yuan's account, there are still two powerful generals, Lu Bu and Zhang Yang, so it is better...to leave this matter to him. After all, if Wu Kuang and Bao Xin are sent, Yuan Kai will be suspected by Dong Zhuo immediately.

After making up his mind, Yuan Kai forced a smile on his face, and said to Ding Yuan: "It is best that the general can understand my painstaking efforts, but it is a pity that this matter was caught by Dong Zhuo. He claimed that you were rebellious, and the court has ordered you to be arrested." Capture, but..."

Yuan Kui discovered that Ding Yuan's face had changed when he talked about the rebellion, and he became restless and even panicked.

It was with great difficulty that he got to this point, and it was precisely because of the hard-won status that he did not rashly stand in line.

But now, Yuan Kai beat him up, and Dong Zhuo directly murdered him, labeling him a rebel. Although he came from a grassroots background, he was also a majestic Jinwu.

Emperor Guangwu also said that to be an official is to be a Jinwu!

Just because they are grassroots, they should be treated like this?Grassroots are not people?

"Since you are willing to serve, I will definitely not refuse you. Dong Zhuo relied on his military strength to force Liu Xie to be emperor. There are many dissatisfaction in the court, and Dong Zhuo is eager to move Liu Bian to Hongnong, so he will definitely send troops to escort him. I agree. ..." Yuan Kai paused, stared at Ding Yuan, and changed the beginning again.

"If you can rescue King Hongnong, you can make up for your mistakes. In the future, King Hongnong will become emperor, and you will be considered a hero." Yuan Kai said.

Ding Yuan thought for a while, this is equivalent to robbing Liu Bian. Could it be that Yuan Kai robbed Liu Bian and wanted to make Liu Bian emperor?

He quickly thought of this possibility.

"Ding Yuan, I am willing to act according to Duke Yuan's order!"

……

The twelfth lunar month is the last festival of the year and the most important festival in the second half of the year. It is a festival of reunion.

A few days ago, Yuanshi's relatively well-off families had slaughtered pigs and sheep one after another to prepare for the festival. The whole Yuanshi County was full of excitement.

Different from Liu Qing's concept of Chinese New Year in the past, the twelfth lunar month is like a small new year. People have to fast, bathe, and have reunion dinners.

Liu Qing's mansion naturally became the busiest place in the entire Yuan family. Except for Xun Yu, Zhang He and Chu Yan who were still in Yanmen, and Gao Shun and Zhu Ling who were going to fight, the rest of the people almost gathered here.

Liu Qing is sitting in the main seat, on his left is Princess Wannian, Cai Yan, the mistress, and Qian Ying, the foreign princess, are sitting on Liu Qing's right.

Everyone knew her identity, and Cai Yan had already met her in advance.

On the guest table, as Liu Qing's father-in-law, Cai Yong is naturally respected by his elders, but Jushou is considered half of Liu Qing's elders, sitting opposite Cai Yong, the rest is more casual.

In the grand banquet, Liu Qing couldn't take care of the left and right guests, because they themselves were having a good chat, and Wan Nian was very interested in the food. Liu Qing didn't want to disturb her, so he simply chatted with the two wives.

"Today's event is the first time I've ever seen it in my life. I have a poem for this situation. I invite my wife to appreciate it!" Liu Qing smiled at Cai Yan.

Cai Yan smiled slightly, and said to Xingzhi beside him, "Xingzhi, get the pen and ink!"

She wanted to write it down for Liu Qing.

In fact, he doesn't know how to compose poems, it's just doggerel that reads more easily.

He didn't want to copy those classics, after all, he didn't practice literature.

Liu Qing thought for a while, and then said: "He was a knight on the run, and fell into the galaxy by chance when he met a beautiful woman."

Cai Yan blushed, Liu Qing's poem was about their meeting, so he wrote it down in beautiful characters.

"At home, I like to be accompanied by the sound of the piano, and the expedition also adds the fragrance of iron armor." Liu Qing read, looking from Cai Yan to Qian Ying.

Cai Yan also paused in writing, glanced at Qian Ying, but forgot that Princess Xianbei was good at bowing horses, and could accompany her husband on the battlefield, Cai Yan felt envious, and turned back to finish writing the poem.

Although Qianying didn't know much about poetry, she could still understand Liu Qing's doggerel. She smiled brightly, and her eyes were like stars in the prairie.

"Husband, the emotions expressed in the four lines of the poem are rather simple and unpretentious." Cai Yan gave Liu Qing a meaningful look.

There is Zhaoji at home, and Qianying is there when he is on the expedition. It really is a big pig's hoof.

Seeing that Cai Yan ordered Xingzhi to put away his pen and ink, Liu Qing, who originally wanted to throw bricks and sparks, asked, "Madam, don't you want to come up with a song?"

Cai Yan blushed and shook her head, "There was a lot of noise at the banquet."

This is true, Cai Yan likes to write poems and articles quietly by herself, sometimes Liu Qing can't do it, it seems that she can't write a word when someone is watching her.

Liu Qing glanced at Princess Wannian again, and saw that she was fighting against the wild game in front of her. It was probably because the palace food was too particular, and this kind of wild game from hunting was not often eaten.

On Jushou's side were Guo Jia, Gu Yong and several juniors, as well as Dian Wei who could understand everything but didn't fully understand it.

Liu Qing glanced out again, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu were struggling to drink...

On the other side, Cai Yong's side is Fu Xie, Tian Feng, Dong Zhao and others, talking about people's livelihood, the country, and the future development of Changshan and even Jizhou.

With Tian Feng placed inside, the topic came to Wei County as they talked.

Liu Qing couldn't help pricking up his ears.

"General Fu, based on your understanding of Prefect Li, what is his attitude towards the lord?" Tian Feng asked.

Fu Xie drank a few cups, his forehead was red and raised a little, and he replied: "Li Wen is upright and strict. Although I have a lot of respect for the lord, if the lord wants to win Wei County, he may be hindered by him. There was a stubborn trial."

Fu Xie had dealt with these two people before.

Tian Feng smirked for a while, pretended to be hypocritical, and said vaguely: "If... If the Lord orders you to take Wei County, how will you treat it?"

When Cai Yong heard this, he quickly persuaded him: "Yuan Hao, you have committed a crime. How can you take Wei County just right?"

Liu Qing raised his forehead and cursed secretly: Don't interrupt me, old man!Tian Feng is working!

Dong Zhao understands it, and he is also a pragmatic faction who firmly supports Liu Qing. The so-called pragmatic faction means that as long as it is beneficial to the people and the big man, you might as well be more courageous. For example, there is nothing wrong with attacking Wei County. After coming down, the administration of Changshan will benefit the people of Wei County, and even the people of Jizhou.

Dong Zhaodao: "Mr. Bo Jie, the king of Bohai is responsible for the emperor's mandate, and his heart is concerned with the world. Now that the people in Changshan County have enough to eat and live warmly, and their warehouses are well-stocked, this is a sign of a great event. Shouldn't it be promoted to the world? You said yes. , Canglin knows etiquette from the facts, Mr. Bo Jie will not be ignorant of this truth!"

Naturally, Dong Zhao's words cannot be refuted, and Cai Yong really agrees very much, and what he said is true, not to mention Changshan, the current Yu County has also become the county with the most abundant harvest in Chenliu. There is enough surplus food, it is hard to believe that this place has been poisoned by the Yellow Turban.

Tian Feng quickly gave Dong Zhao a thumbs up, this is what should be said.

"In that case, it should indeed!" Cai Yong laughed.

"Not only should, even if it is a battle, we must spread the way of Changshan to the whole world!" Tian Feng said without losing the time, and then said: "My lord once ordered that Zhao County belong to me, and Julu County belong to the Lord and , Zhongshan County belongs to Fengxiao, General Fu, I think it's better for you to solve this Wei County!"

Fu Xie seemed to hear something, Liu Qing was expanding outwards with Changshan as the center?

Zhongshan County, Julu County, and Zhao County happen to be the neighboring counties of Changshan County.

Fu Xie looked at Liu Qing in the chief seat calmly, and saw that the master was joking with the two wives, but he didn't know that Liu Qing was actually listening with his ears up.

Ordering Fu Xie to go to Wei County was an adjustment made by Feng Xiao after learning that Fu Xie had voted for Liu Qing. After all, Fu Xie had just been Li Wen's superior for more than half a year.

If the superior takes it, I don't know what he will say.

"What Yuan Hao said, I already know it well. Since it is for the sake of the world, how can Fu Xie refuse it? If the lord has the order, Fu Xie should volunteer to be the first...Hmm? My lord, when did you come here?"

Fu Xie was surprised to find that Liu Qing was standing in front of them at this moment.

"General Fu, I mean..." Liu Qing said loudly, and suddenly everyone in the field quieted down and looked at him, including the excited generals.

"Take a county for the New Year to add to the fun!"
