Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 263 The military advisors rolled up

The minor heat has passed, and the great heat is approaching.

The scorching sun scorched the ground, and there were waves of heat waves. If you walked up in soft shoes, you could feel the heat on the soles of your feet. The trees in the courtyard drooped their leaves, and some even became wilted in the sun.

The expansion project in the city center is proceeding in an orderly manner, but work is usually suspended during the day and midday, otherwise heat stroke would be very troublesome.

Besides, Liu Qing is not a vicious exploiter.

After waiting for a few days, there was still no news from Luoyang, but news from Yanzhou kept coming.

It is reported that the number of Yellow Turban troops gathered in Taishan County is [-], and the number is still increasing. This is undoubtedly the largest Yellow Turban Army activity after Zhang Jiao. Lingxian County is adjacent to Dongjun County. In addition, the Gaoshun camp of Zhao County was transferred to Guantao, and Zhang Liao led his troops to station in Yuancheng.

It can be said that Liu Qing has made preparations in case the war in Yanzhou expands.

If there is no expansion, then feel free. According to the established plan, Liu Qing has no intention of Yanzhou at the moment, but Bingzhou.

In the study room, the sound of the piano is curling, and the voiceless sound is not only pleasant to the ear, but also has the effect of meditation.

This is naturally Cai Yan playing the piano.

Guo Jia sat on the Xi Tower with a slumped body, with one hand on his chin, and together with Liu Qing, he looked at the visitor in front of him - Xi Zhicai.

After Xi's mother died of illness, Xi Zhicai simply took care of the funeral and hurried to Jizhou.

Compared with last year, Xi Zhicai is still dark and thin, and his face is haggard and tired. Obviously, the journey was very hard and he did not have a good rest.

It is too old-fashioned to say that the body is the capital of the revolution.

"Zhicai, the strong soldiers you selected, I have been incorporated into the imperial guards, and they have done a very good job. I know that you are in a hurry to do things as soon as possible. Since you have joined my staff, you will give advice and don't pay attention to trivial matters. The most urgent thing is to maintain your health, I will find a famous doctor for you, you must know that to achieve great things, you must have a strong body!" Liu Qing first affirmed Xizhi before working, and then explained the truth.

"Follow the order!" Xi Zhicai saluted very cautiously.

Liu Qing shook his head, it would be great when he could be as comfortable as Guo Jia!

Back in Yingchuan, when Liu Qing met the two of them, both of them were sick, but now, because Guo Jia ran with the army, he had less contact with wine and sex, more physical activities, and he was also very cheerful. He is a proper young and handsome man. On the other hand, Xi Zhicai's situation seems to be even worse.

"That's right, Zhicai, just follow my lord's orders, just like me!" Guo Jia followed suit.

"Like you? Feng Xiao, what are you talking about? You said that Dong Zhuo would definitely get the post of Bingzhou Shepherd for this king. It has been a few days and there is no news. Didn't you bet on it!" Liu Qing scolded.

"This..." Guo Jia, who was suddenly targeted, was speechless for a while, and he put his other hand on his chin, "Didn't Fatty Dong make a statement, but it didn't pass. I guess someone in the court blocked it, and the weight is not low!"

I believe you a ghost!
"My lord, I have an idea about this matter." Xi Zhicai said suddenly.

"Oh? Zhicai, please tell me!" Liu Qing said.

"Since General Dong is willing to recommend the Lord, it means that he has nothing to do with Bingzhou. The Lord only needs to send a message to Luoyang. Xianbei violated the border. At such a critical moment, the court is unable to take care of the north. The matter of the Lord being the shepherd of Bingzhou is very serious. May pass!"

Xianbei violated the border?Liu Qing and Guo Jia looked at each other, this trick has been tried and tested!
"The words of Zhicai are really a good idea!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Then let's do it like this. Later, I will ask Princess Qianying to write a letter, ordering Xianbei soldiers to gather at the border."

Liu Qing directly ordered someone to call Princess Qianying.

In order to get Bingzhou Mu, the trouble is troublesome.

"In addition, Liu Dai is tired of dealing with the Yellow Turban Army. At this time, Dongjun is empty, and it is easy to get. Do we really want to let go of the fat on our lips?"

For the lord who always thinks that I want everything, Guo Jia smiled wryly: "My lord, the fat meat just came out of the pot, and it burns my mouth!"

"I also don't approve of advancing Dongjun. Although Dongjun is fat, the forces behind it are complicated. My lord uses this fat to make the forces behind him compete. This is watching the fire from the other side!"

"Feng Xiao, listen up!" Liu Qing was very satisfied with Xi Zhicai's statement, but he didn't take it seriously when he said it hot. Although the result was to prevent Liu Qing from interfering in Dongjun, but watching the fire from the other side, his style changed immediately.

Guo Jia was scolded, and sat upright with a thud, and said: "My lord, watching the fire from the other side is not enough, you can make Cao Cao and Liu Bei intervene in Yanzhou in the name of begging for the yellow scarf, and Liu Dai will definitely lose when he fights with the Yuan family. Cao Liu is still unknown! Cao Ren, Cao Cao's younger brother, has thousands of soldiers, and he has joined Cao Cao, and he is ready to use him!"

Wonderful!

If the Yuan family added the Yellow Turban, Liu Dai might have his head hammered to pieces. If Cao Cao and Liu Bei went to deal with the Yellow Turban, then Liu Dai might be able to fight Yuan Shi for another while, consuming Yuan Shi to the maximum.

Liu Qing had no choice but to give Guo Jia a thumbs up!

That's right!He came up with a clever plan, you come up with an even better plan, roll it up for the master!
"Following the words of filial piety is very suitable for me, so I will write the book for Meng Dexuande!" Liu Qing said, and was about to take the silk book for the case, but Cai Yan put it in front of Liu Qing, and Cai Yan stood quietly aside , Start grinding ink.

"When did the piano sound stop?" Liu Qing asked, but he didn't notice it.

"The sound of the queen's piano is like the sound of nature, refreshing! It's a great fortune for Xi to be able to listen to it!" Xi Zhicai praised and thanked Cai Yan while saluting.

Cai Yan nodded in greeting.

Xi Zhicai's actions made the whole environment feel restrained, and Liu Qing admired Cai Yan's slender hand in ink painting.

After a short period of silence in the study, Guo Jia and Xi Zhi resigned knowingly.

"Husband, do you want to write it yourself?" Cai Yan asked in a low voice.

"Let me tell, you write!"

Liu Qing still doesn't make a fool of himself, after all, it's a letter to a foreign country, so forget about his chicken claw-like characters.

After Cai Yan polished the ink well, he knelt down beside Liu Qing and unfolded the silk script.

Liu Qing started to conceive, and said: "My friend Meng De..."

After a while, Liu Qing finished writing one with satisfaction.

"Change the word 'Meng' in the letter to 'Xuan', and make another copy!" Liu Qing said.

"Copy a copy?" Cai Yan was surprised, how could anyone write a letter like this.

"Look at the content of the letter. It doesn't involve any specific matters. It just explains the situation of Yanzhou and the Yellow Turban, and the requirements for the two are the same. Generally, there is no difference. This heart is called an 'open letter'!"

"Open letter." Cai Yan murmured, obviously it was the first time he heard such a letter.

This is not very normal in later generations, and they are all photocopied.

"Dear ____", just fill in the name.

"The letter of a husband is quite refined, but it is widely used, and it will be spread far and wide in the future." Cai Yan realized its usefulness when he first came into contact with it.

Liu Qing said: Whether it will be broadcast or not will only be known in the future.

While talking, there was a noise outside the door, and Ban Ming's voice came from outside: "My lord, my wife has arrived."

"Come in." Liu Qing replied.

The study door creaked softly, and Qianying Miaoman's body appeared in Liu Qing's field of vision.

"What do you want my husband to tell me?" Qian Ying asked, but her big eyes fell on Cai Yan.

In fact, according to the rules of etiquette, she should greet Cai Yan because she is the mistress.

Liu Qing suddenly moved his butt and pushed Cai Yan to the side of the road to make room behind the case.

"Come and sit here!" Liu Qing said.

Qian Ying glanced at Cai Yan again, Cai Yan nodded.

It seems to say: sure!
Only then did Qian Ying sit beside Liu Qing.

Liu Qing looked at the small movements of the two, as if he had discovered something.

Presumably, when she was not around, Cai Yan's mistress was more popular.

As for Qian Ying, she knows a little about the Han system, but she is not familiar with it.

She can let go of herself in front of Liu Qing, but when other people are present, Qianying's alien complex will flare up, and she always feels that she is out of place.

Liu Qing chuckled, enlivening the atmosphere, immediately put his arms around Qian Ying's small waist, leaned forward and said, "Do you miss your clansmen?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was an old master.

It's like a certain Yin who wants to do bad things: Do you want to go back to your mother's house?

It is actually difficult to answer such a question without a reason, but although Qian Ying is low-key, she is not stupid.

"Husband thought I wanted it, so I thought about it."

Liu Qing savored this top-notch speech, only to realize that what he asked seemed to be ambiguous.

Because of her special status, it is easy to associate with her tribe and have a different heart.

Liu Qing quickly explained: "This king has no other intentions. I have something to trouble your clansmen."

"Sir, please tell me."

"I want to create the image of the Xianbei army pressing down on the territory and put pressure on the imperial court. I need the cooperation of your people."

Qian Ying frowned slightly, and then relaxed.

"When does your husband want me to leave?"

"If you don't want to go, just study the book."

"It's a big matter for your husband, I'm relieved to go there in person, besides, I haven't seen brother Qianman for half a year."

Liu Qing didn't persuade anymore, but replied: "Go early and come back early!"

Qian Ying nodded, looked down at Liu Qing's hands, and acted cautiously.

Liu Qing simply stood up with his arms around her, and then stretched out his hand to pull Cai Yan up.

"The Xianbei army is mobilized. I will provide food and grass. If the purpose of this matter is achieved, I will reward you."

"Thank you husband!" Qian Ying said.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you for a walk!" Liu Qing looked at Cai Yan, but said to Qian Ying.

Qianying is going to be away for a while, so before leaving, please have more company.

The water should be as level as possible!

……

Taishan County, at the foot of Mount Dai.

Mount Dai is the ancient name of Mount Tai. There are many mountains here, and Mount Dai is the tallest mountain range, with ridges and peaks towering high above the sky.

Liu Dai's army stationed at the foot of the mountain, intending to defend it by the mountain. This is the unavoidable way for the Yellow Turban to enter Yanzhou from the west, and the large area of ​​Taishan County to the east of Mount Dai has already fallen.

There is another reason for stationing troops here, besides the fact that this is the place to pass through. Liu Dai’s name is Handai. He thought Daishan would bring him good luck, so he planned to wait here for the Yellow Turban army marching westward, and defeat them in the first battle. .

The vegetation at the foot of Mount Dai is luxuriant, just to avoid the scorching summer. However, the sun can be avoided, but the high temperature is real. The only consolation is the wind of the forest, which blows on the sweaty people, which is extraordinarily cool.

Liu Dai sat cross-legged under a big tree, where the shade was the densest, and Wang Yu offered a jar of clean water.

"My lord, use water."

Liu Dai took it, and first asked: "Is there any movement of the Yellow Turban Army?"

Wang Yu shook his head, "The Yellow Turban Army is moving everywhere, but it is not known where the large army is, but Daishan is a must pass to enter Yanzhou, and our army can just wait for work here."

Liu Dai started to drink water, drank more than half of it, and then handed the jar back to Wang Yu.

"Don't drive, king, come!"

Wang Yu took back the water, but didn't drink it.

"Emissary, Wang Huo replaced Qiao Mao as the prefect of Dongjun, but this person has no opinion, and there are many Black Mountain Army activities in the Baima area. Now that the envoy is not here, I am afraid that Dongjun will lose."

Wang Yu expressed his concern about the situation in Dongjun.

"What do you think should be done?"

"There is a man under Qiaomao's command, surnamed Cheng Mingyu, styled Zhongde, from Dong'e, Dongjun. When the Yellow Turban started, the governor of Dong'e County rebelled, and the magistrate fled. It was this man who, with both courage and strategy, led the people to repel the king Du, now this person is in Chenliu, so you should send someone to Bizhao, if Wang Gong can be assisted by this person, Dongjun will have no worries."

Liu Dai thought for a while and asked, "Why is he in Chenliu? Can he be with Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and others?"

"It's justifiable for the emperor to kill Qiao Mao and Cheng Yu to take refuge." Wang Yu explained.

"Then send someone there!"

"Here!"

Wang Yu left with the pitcher in hand.

Liu Dai looked to the east, and all the departments were repaired in an orderly manner, without any movement.

"Report-"

"Report to the envoy, an army of yellow scarves has been found on the south bank of Wenshui River!"

"What! The south bank of Wenshui!"

Liu Dai got up suddenly, and the surprise was beyond words. Wenshui is the main water system south of Daishan. It flows into Jishui from east to west. Wenshui is the southern boundary of Yanzhou. Lu State, and then enter Dongping State or Shanyang County in Yanzhou.

It also means that Liu Dai has stayed lonely here.

"Yellow Turban Thief!"

Liu Dai cursed, pulled his sword tightly, and ordered: "Order Xu Xi, the second general Xu Si will lead the army to Dongping Kingdom!"

As for Shanyang County, this is a difficult situation. Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, made it clear that he would not cooperate with him. If Yuan Yi adopts a non-resistance strategy, the Yellow Turban Army will drive straight in. Changyi County, the Yanzhou government, is in danger, and the entire hinterland of Yanzhou will also be exposed. Liu Dai couldn't imagine what the consequences would be in front of the Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Dai scolded Yuan Shi again in his heart, Yuan Yi didn't cooperate with him, no doubt it was because of Qiao Mao's matter.

Qiao Mao is also considered to be a famous scholar who is close to Yuan. In the past, Cao Shao, the prefect of Dongjun, died, and Qiao Mao replaced him as the prefect of Dongjun. A big win.

And he killed Qiao Mao, which naturally annoyed Yuan Shi.

The more Liu Dai thought about it, the more angry he became, and he cursed again: "Yanzhou's chaos is of no benefit to the Yuan family!"

"Yuan Kui, old thief, is ambitious. I am the late emperor who appointed Yanzhou Shepherd. Does he still want to deal with me?"

At this time, Wang Yu reappeared, and Liu Dai left some words.

"My lord, Jiyin Dingyuan, was clearly a vassal of the Yuan family, but in fact he had an enmity with the Yuan family. In the past, he was an official in charge of Jinwu, but he was killed by Yuan Kai and fell to this point. I want to go forward and say it. If the Yellow Turban Army goes straight through If you don't guard Shanyang County and Jiyin County, Dongjun County will be in danger!" Wang Yu said.

Dongjun is the root of Yanzhou, the root of Liu Dai, and the place that Liu Dai really controls at present.

Because Changyi, the governing place, is located in Shanyang County, and it is governed together with Yuan Yi. After the two families broke up, Liu Dai could not return to Changyi.

Therefore, Jiyin Dingyuan must be won, otherwise, the narrow and long land of Dongjun, backed by the river and facing the long border, is impossible to defend.

"What Wang Biejia said was Dai's worry. If this move can be done, Wang Biejia will be the savior of Yanzhou!" Liu Dai first set up a flag to express his good expectations.

Wang Yu suddenly felt a lot of pressure. This mountain is still "Dai" mountain.
