Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 251 Do You Call One Thousand an Army?

Yuan Jun walked along the official road, passed by various pavilions, did not stop, and walked until the middle of the day, Yuan Shao felt a little tired, so he ordered to rest.

The same goes for the soldiers, Yuan Shao thought.

Looking at Guo Tufengji and the others who were traveling together, the travel and dust along the way made the counselors a little unkempt, and the sun was beginning to show its viciousness at the end of May, and everyone's foreheads and cheeks were sweaty. A few streaks of dirt will fall.

Yuan Shao randomly found a haystack and sat down, playing with the saber in his hand, drew half of it, and stared blankly.

The blade is sharp and bright, but the reflected eyes are a little dim.

"Is there any news about General Yan Liang?" Yuan Shao asked instead.

The sentinel trotted forward and replied: "Return to the leader, General Yan Liang fought Fan Chou at Wenqiu Pavilion, and he has temporarily repelled Fan Chou."

"Where's the Baibo Army?" Yuan Shao asked again. The Baibo Army has more than 1 soldiers and horses, which should not be underestimated.

"According to the battle report from the front, the Baibo army just followed from a distance, and it seems that they have no tendency to attack our army." The sentry officer replied.

Regarding Bai Bojun's actions, Yuan Shao and others have never had a consistent view.

Guo Tu thought that the Baibo Army came for the city land in Hanoi County, and did not deliberately target Yuan Jun, and the actions of the Baibo Army after entering Hanoi County also proved this point.

However, Feng Ji's view is that the Baibo army must have another plan to take the land from the air. It is by no means a simple siege of the city, and most of it is a deal with Dong Zhuo.

It seemed that they had arranged to wait for Yuan Jun in advance.

After resting for a quarter of an hour, Yuan Shao had no choice but to abandon the comfortable haystack, mount his horse again, and move on.

At this moment, the sentry officer came running again and said, "Leader, General Wen Chou is back!"

came back?Yuan Shao thumped in his heart, coming back meant that Li Cheng had not been captured, and the road ahead... was blocked!
"Quickly call General Wen Chou to see me!" Yuan Shao said urgently.

Guo Tufengji glanced at each other when he heard the words, and obviously guessed that Wen Chou's trip was not going well.

"Meet the lord!"

Wen Chou hurriedly came to Yuan Shao and knelt down on one knee to salute. Not only was he sweating profusely, but his face was flushed with heat, his eyes were bloodshot, and his upper and lower eyelids were swollen.

"General Wen Chou has worked hard, how about Li Cheng?" Yuan Shao asked.

Wen Chou replied: "My lord, the last general rushed to Licheng overnight, but it was still useless. Licheng was occupied by the Black Mountain Army long ago. The last general did not bring siege equipment, and he was worried that the lord would be overtaken by the Xiliang army, so he kept rushing. Hurry back."

"Occupied by the Black Mountain Army again?" Yuan Shao murmured, clenched the hilt of his sword, and said angrily, "The Black Mountain Army is hateful! They are attacking the county everywhere. One day, I will lead the army to wipe out the Black Mountain Army and restore peace to the people of Hanoi!"

In such a situation, he could still speak boldly, and the people around Yuan Shao couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of Yuan Benchu, even in adversity, he still has high fighting spirit."

Just like when the eunuchs covered the sky with one hand, Yuan Shao also dared to oppose the eunuchs openly and joined the general in punishing the eunuchs.

"After the rest, continue marching!" Yuan Shao first ordered to set off, and then said to Wen Chou: "The general rests here for an hour longer."

Wen Chou was moved for a while, and thank you again.

……

Liu Qing was rushing to Licheng, and got another military report on the way. Because Wen Chou withdrew his defense, Zhu Jun, who was stationed in Yewang, went down Qinshui and captured the prefectures and counties where Wen Chou was stationed.

And then down the river, it is Huai County.

Obviously, Zhu Jun was not idle either. He naturally knew that the Black Mountain Army had attacked the camp in Huai County, captured Huai County, and then left Huai County.

He took this action to take the meaning of Huai County, and it was already a lice on Pei Yuanshao's head - it was obvious.

Liu Qing didn't pay much attention to the city of Huai County, and he could get it back if he lost it. However, in Huai County, a large amount of grain and grass moved from the camp in Huai County has been hoarded, and the county's defense is only [-] yuan. With the pure Montenegro army, it is not difficult for Zhu Jun to capture Huai County. After all, Zhu Jun is a general who can fight tough battles.

Liu Qing thought for a moment, why don't he come forward and explain the situation by himself, anyway, he also fought side by side in Guanzhong, and with his status as King of Bohai Sea, it should be worth it!
Liu Qing summoned his pen and ink, and briefly explained the reason why he came to Hanoi County. Of course, it was a modified reason.

Liu Qing really came to pacify the Black Mountain Army.

But it's not really to pacify the Montenegrin Army.

It can only be said that the interests are related, and it is inconvenient to explain clearly, everyone who understands understands.

In the letter, Liu Qing did not expressly ask Zhu Jun not to attack Huai County. Isn’t that because there is no silver 300 taels here? You are an official parent, in charge of Hanoi, so naturally you will not sit idly by, and hope to go to Jishui Licheng together to solve the problem of the Black Mountain Army.

With Zhu Jun's temperament, there is an [-]% chance that he will come. As a Han official, Zhu Jun must work harder to fight the Black Mountain Army than Yuan Shao.

Because although he served Luoyang, the dispute between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo is still within the framework of the struggle for the throne. It can be said to be an extension of political disagreement, but the Black Mountain Army is different. It is a traitor and everyone wins. Punish it.

After the letter was finished, Liu Qing sent someone to deliver it, and then continued.

"My lord, why did you call Zhu Jun here?" Dian Wei asked curiously.

"Calling Mr. Zhu, or General Zhu, there is no courtesy!" Liu Qing scolded Dian Wei first, and then said, "If you don't ask him to come here, he will go to Huai County, that's all."

Dian Wei nodded half-understood, Liu Qing knew he must not understand, but it was irrelevant.

Li Wen also said: "Master, if Zhu Jun comes, will he conflict with Yuan Jun?"

Liu Qing stretched his eyebrows, and said comfortably: "This king is happy to hear it, so Yuan Benchu ​​will owe this king one more favor."

Although favors are useless, they can extort money and food!

"My lord, the convenience is Pinggao County. Zhang Liao has prepared enough boats at the ferry for my lord to cross the river. In addition, the county where Lord Zhu is located is only half a day away. At this time, Yuan Shaojun should be arriving in Licheng soon. " said Li Wen.

All the time, just right!

"Then let's hurry up and try to reach Licheng before dark."

……

The next day, the sun rose, and the east was full of golden clouds.

Yuan Shao stepped out of the simple tent and gazed at the splendor of the sky. Unfortunately, it couldn't last long. After the sun climbed to the horizon, the clouds seemed to be dispelled by it and gradually dissipated.

Seeing that Yuan Shao had risen, Li Wen immediately stepped forward and said, "Leader, the King of Bohai has arrived."

Ok?Li Wen!

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, Li Wen came back, which meant that the reinforcements he moved had arrived!
"Bochong, you are back!" Yuan Shao enthusiastically stepped forward to hold Li Wen's hand, the eagerness in his eyes said to himself, "Where is the King of Bohai?"

"Stay on the east side." Li Wen said lightly.

Last night Liu Qing passed by Licheng, Guo Jia and Zhang Liao went out of the city to meet, after some discussion, Liu Qing went straight to find Yuan Shao.

Now Yuan Shao's temporary camp is only ten miles away from Li City, the place is smooth, standing on the head of Li City, it can even be seen faintly, but nothing can be seen clearly.

As soon as he heard that the King of Bohai was coming, Yuan Shao immediately said, "Follow me to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Li Wen immediately stopped him and said: "Leader, wait a minute!" Li Wen looked up at the position of the sun, and then said, "The king of Bohai may not have risen yet."

Yuan Shao's expression was unnatural. He and the King of Bohai did have a rift, but now that the two have a deal, they should shake hands and make peace. Since the other party is the King of Bohai, Yuan Shao felt that he could let go of the stance of the leader and go to see him, but he it turns out……

Still in bed!

Guo Tu showed a trace of contempt on his face, "If you can't even wake up early, what a great cause!"

He didn't mention his name, but everyone knew who he was talking about. Fortunately, Li Wen had seen the world and had a mature mind, otherwise he would definitely not be able to bear it!

An arrogant scholar, with high eyesight and low hands, dares to joke about the King of Bohai!
If it was Dian Wei, he would probably put a flying halberd in Guo Tu's mouth.

Guo Tu was rude, Yuan Shao didn't reprimand him, he didn't even blame him, it seemed that the people in front of him belonged to him, so naturally it wouldn't reach King Bohai's ears.

At this time, the guard Jiang Qi stepped forward and said: "My lord, there are many Black Mountain troops gathered in the north, Fan Chou's army and Baibo army have also started to move."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he said anxiously: "According to the formation of these three armies, it seems that they only regard me as the enemy. With Fan Chou's army and Baibo army alone, our army will be hard to contend with. If we add the Black Mountain army, I, Yuan Benchu, will fall into these four extremes unexpectedly. place!"

To the east is the closed Licheng, to the north is the Black Mountain Army, to the west are the Fan Chou Army and Baibo Army, and to the south is the surging river.

"Leader, don't worry. The King of Bohai has something to say. He collects money and food, and does things for others. He came here for the Black Mountain Army. This trip will definitely wipe out the Black Mountain for the leader!" Li Wen said.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao seemed to understand the deep meaning, and immediately replied: "Don't worry, Bochong, please tell the king of Bohai, if the trouble in Montenegro is solved, 20 stones of grain and grass will be given to you. Go one more time and tell King Bohai that Yuan Benchu ​​is asking to see you."

The military situation was urgent, and Yuan Shao relaxed again.

Li Wen cupped his hands and left silently, Yuan Shao immediately led the crowd to follow.

Arriving at Liu Qing's residence, from a distance, everyone saw Ba Dao's burly figure standing at the entrance.

They are equipped with well-made fine scale armor, golden animal mask belts around their waists, and knee-length drape fixed on them, and long iron spears with gleaming cold tips in their hands.

What a majestic scenery!

Yuan Shao sighed in his heart, although it was not the first time he saw Liu Qing's imperial guards, but every time, he would be attracted by them.

Which commander doesn't want this kind of soldiers!

He, Yuan Benchu, was no exception.

Li Wen stepped forward, and the guards let him go, but when Yuan Shao and his party stepped forward, they were stopped by the guards.

"Forbidden area of ​​the barracks, idlers, etc.! Don't enter!" the guard said.

"Presumptuous! This is the leader of the Eighteenth Army of the Kwantung Army, Yuan League Leader, who dares to say that he is a miscellaneous person!" Guo Tu took a step forward and scolded.

However, the imperial guards still refused to let him go, and replied sonorously: "I have never heard of the leader Yuan, even if the old guy Yuan Kui is here, he can't enter without permission!"

Yuan Shao's expression changed suddenly, how dare this imperial guard...

Li Wen quickly persuaded: "Leader, the military order is like a mountain, understand, understand."

Then he turned to the imperial guard and said, "President Yuan was invited by the King of Bohai, and he took me as a witness."

The imperial guard said: "Looking at Mr. Li's face, I believe you. However, idlers are not allowed to enter!"

The meaning of the imperial guards is that Yuan Shao's followers are not allowed to enter, Guo Tufengji, Chen Lin Xu You, Yan Liangwen Chou, and Jiang Qi are high-ranking officials.

Li Wen was a little speechless, thinking that the King of Bohai was really ruthless in order to beat Yuan Shao, the words of the imperial guards were probably taught by Liu Qing, otherwise, how would the little imperial guards know who Yuan Kui was!
He said to Yuan Shao again: "Leader, the Bohai King's army is extremely safe, so you can come here on your own."

Yuan Shao was stunned, feeling that today was extremely embarrassing, and the intention of Bohai King's deliberate targeting was clearly revealed.

But after another thought: the two of them already had a feud, so Liu Qing naturally hoped to find some occasions.

I, Yuan Benchu, have an open mind and don't care about it. Right now, the overall situation is the most important thing, Yuan Shao thought.

"Okay!" Yuan Shao readily agreed.

Following Li Wen inside, Li Wen led him to the tent of the King of Bohai Sea with ease. After Dian Wei notified him, he immediately got a response.

Didn't you get up?
After entering the account, Yuan Shao saw that on the plan table in front, bamboo slips and documents were piled up like a mountain, and Liu Qing was buried in it, carefully reviewing them, and beside the table, there was a candle that burned to nothing but residue.

A picture suddenly appeared in Yuan Shao's mind: the night was as cold as water, the military tent was pitch black, only a faint light was shining on the desk, and the light shone on the volumes of documents, and the handwriting on them could barely be discerned, a young figure Keep your head down and concentrate on...

King Bohai is... reviewing documents all night?
Li Wen also couldn't understand...Last night, Bohai King specifically told him to bring Yuan Shao here later, saying that he was going to sleep late.

"My lord, Leader Yuan has arrived!" Li Wen reminded.

Liu Qing raised his head suddenly, and smiled at the two of them: "President Yuan, please sit down! Wait until I finish writing!"

After speaking, I buried myself in writing again.

Li Wen was even more curious, the King of Bohai seldom wrote anything by himself.

Yuan Shao glanced around, and sure enough, he saw a small case, as if it was specially prepared for himself.

After a while, Liu Qing spoke again, carrying a silk book, walked towards Yuan Shao, and said with a smile:
"At the beginning, don't come here without any problems!"

"Fair!" Yuan Shao replied lightly.

"This is your proof of income. If there is no objection, you can sign it. After the document becomes effective, I can send troops!" Liu Qing said, spreading the document in front of Yuan Shao.

IOU?Yuan Shao looked at Liu Qing in confusion.

"Words don't prove anything, it's written in black and white!" Liu Qing said with a smile.

Yuan Shao had mixed feelings in his heart, it wasn't that he was underestimated today, but he was directly underestimated!
He is a dignified descendant of the Yuan family, Xu Ren mere 20 stones of grain and grass, and he still needs to establish written evidence?

Even Li Wen was sweating, this Yuan Benchu ​​was really calm, he deserved to be the master who could keep his filial piety for six consecutive years!
"As the king wishes!" Yuan Shao seemed to have prepared himself, and he signed his name neatly. Although he didn't know why the king of Bohai would use this kind of folk trick, the same name is more important than life, so he Yuan Benchu ​​would not recite it. The name of the last scam.

Liu Qing got the document, glanced at it, and immediately shouted out of the tent: "Dian Wei! Gather troops and horses! Attack the Black Mountain Army!"

Seeing Liu Qing being so forthright, Yuan Shao also heaved a sigh of relief.

Although the King of Bohai had a quarrel with him, it must be said that the unrepentant character of the King of Bohai is true. In addition, the King of Bohai regards the people as the most important thing, and he does his best for the people. From what he saw this morning, it is also true !

"Your Majesty, the Black Mountain Army has a large number of troops. There may be tens of thousands of them. I don't know how many soldiers and horses the King of Bohai has brought?" Yuan Shao asked.

This is the result of Chu Yan's disguise. In fact, the Black Mountain Army only has more than ten thousand people. However, if these more than ten thousand people really go to war, they can cause Yuan Jun a lot of trouble.

Liu Qing folded the document and put it on the case, and replied at the same time:
"President Yuan, don't worry, I will lead an army of one thousand, and I will be able to defeat the Black Mountain Army!"
