Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

"My lord, there is no trace of battle outside the city. I wonder how the lord took the city?" Ju Shou asked curiously.

Liu Bei and the generals behind him also poked their heads curiously.

"Without it, this battle is just as the king expected, the Yuan family has already been defeated, and with the king's large army pressing the border, Chen Wen and Zhou Xin felt that there was no chance of winning, so why did they die in vain? The Yuan family is rebellious and loyal to the Yuan family. You won't get the name of dying generously, which will do a lot of harm and no benefit." Liu Qing explained.

"Your Majesty, you worry too much, and you're right!" Guo Jia agreed.

"Then the next step is Changsha?" Liu Bei asked with concern.

"To deal with the matter of the Sun family, I should do it myself. Now that Yangzhou is initially settled, many counties and townships don't even know that Yangzhou has changed. Xuande, you and Uncle Ju stayed in Yangzhou to help Zhengli manage Yangzhou smoothly. , you two will go back to your respective state capitals."

"Here!"

Liu Bei and Ju Shou were on the same path.

"A few years ago when the Central Plains were in turmoil, many talents took refuge in Jiangdong, and there were also many talents in Yangzhou. You all discovered a lot and recommended them to this king. When I employ people, I don't care about background and family members, but only about real talents and learning!" Confess again , Liu Qing asked again, "Where is Gan Ning?"

Gan Ning, who was listening to what Liu Qing said, grinned and came to Liu Qing with two "ding bells".

"Gan Xingba, meet the lord!"

This is also the first time Liu Qing saw Gan Ning, he immediately lifted him up solemnly, and said with a smile: "What a young man, this time Duke Ju stays in Yangzhou, you will go with me to march west to Changsha!"

When Gan Ning heard this, he was pleasantly surprised and replied repeatedly: "If you want anything, Gan Ning swears to follow the general!"

Liu Qing set off the next day to join the army in Yuzhang and continue the battle.
-
News of Zhou Xin's surrender and Chen Wen's execution quickly spread like wildfire.

In the military headquarters of Luo County, the young Sun Ce took the lead, and all the generals gathered together. Even Huang Gai, who was confronting Huang Zu at Dongting Lake, secretly returned to Luo County.

Compared with this news, Liu Biaojun is nothing, not worth mentioning.

"The King of Bohai's army is coming to attack, what's your strategy?" After Sun Ce asked, he immediately looked at Cheng Pu who was at the front, "Uncle Cheng, tell me first."

Cheng Pu knew in his heart that with the strength of King Bohai's army, the Sun family's strength was not enough to contend. Even if Chen Wen raised a state, if there was no state, it would have the power of half a state. As a result, before King Bohai's army arrived, his prefect Tie him up and give it to King Bohai.

Cheng Pu thought for a while, and even though the King of Bohai was powerful and difficult to contend against, he still said to Sun Ce: "My lord, although the army of the King of Bohai is powerful, it will definitely be damaged if it is too far away. Changsha is mountainous and strange. As long as our army is properly deployed and there are more surprise soldiers, he will definitely be able to come and go."

"What Uncle Cheng said is very true. If you should avoid it, you should avoid it. If you should fight, you should fight. Listening to Uncle Cheng's words, I can't help but increase my confidence!" Sun Cexiao laughed.

"My lord, the most urgent thing is to make deployment first. Liling Ancheng and other places can be used as key defensive places." Cheng Pu said again.

Sun Ce looked at the crowd and said, "Uncle Wu, Ancheng is the Guancheng of the two prefectures, so you will lead your army and horses, and Han Dang will lead the army to Liling, and Zhu Zhi will lead the army to Xiangxiang. Defense."

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Pu objected again: "My lord, if you disperse your forces like this, I'm afraid you can't shake them a bit. The enemy is strong and we are weak, so we should avoid the real and attack the weak."

Upon hearing this, Sun Ce said, "Then Ancheng will have a showdown?"

Cheng Pu silently supported his forehead, thinking that a boy is a boy, thinking too simply.

Obviously, Sun Ce's seniority is still young, and he has not really realized the horror of the King of Bohai. Cheng Pu is in his middle age, and he has experienced many battles since the Yellow Turban. The battle of the Yellow Turbans was a battle against foreign tribes, or the factions conquered each other. The King of Bohai's victory far surpassed that of Sun Jian, and he was Sun Jian at his strongest state.

In the past, he helped Yuan Shu capture Luoyang, and Sun Jian's reputation also rose to the top, but after that, the King of Bohai attacked Luoyang again in a more violent way, which made the original lord terrified and fled in a hurry.

What's even more frightening is that in all the battles reported by the King of Bohai Sea, no matter who he fought against, he never lost a single one.

I have never faced such an opponent before, and I don't know how powerful he is just by imagining.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Pu still planned to frustrate Sun Ce again, so he said: "My lord, in the previous battle of Yuzhang, only a few generals under the command of the King of Bohai blocked the lord back, but now the King of Bohai led a dozen soldiers Wan, definitely not comparable to last time."

Sun Ce looked at Cheng Pu in a daze, but did not speak.

"Bo Fu, what De Mou said is very true. It can be said that the King of Bohai's battle is not for Guangguang to deal with my Sun family. He is here for Yangzhou and Jingzhou. At the same time, he may also, together with Yizhou, It is also in his plan." Wu Kuang, Sun Ce's uncle, said.

"Determine the three states in one battle?" Sun Ce looked at Wu Kuang with a surprised expression.

"In this world, apart from the King of Bohai, no one has dared to have such boldness. Look at the king of Bohai who first arrived in Yangzhou, and Zhou Xin and the others surrendered. ?”

All the generals under Sun Ce also looked at each other in blank dismay.

And then back to the original question -

How to do?
On Sun Ce's side, there was nothing to do, but at this time, Liu Biao and his colleagues in Jingzhou were even more anxious.

In Xiangyang, Zhoumufu, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were all present.

Liu Biao had known that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon. He had heard that the King of Bohai was happy to have a son. He didn't expect that the king of Bohai would launch a huge battle just after the son was full moon.

Armed with one hundred thousand soldiers and tens of thousands of followers, this kind of force, unless called upon by the imperial court, no matter who it is, it is difficult to resist.

Now in name, the King of Bohai is conquering the remnants of the Yuan family, including Sun Jian and now Sun Ce, but Liu Biao knows that it is easy for the King of Bohai to come, but it is difficult to ask him to leave.

As the days approached, the distance between King Bohai and Changsha gradually increased. When he approached Changsha, he was actually approaching Jingzhou. As long as King Bohai succeeded, Changsha would basically be the second Nanyang.

Liu Biao didn't want to ask for it, and he didn't want to ask for it, and he didn't dare to be tough.

"My lord, this matter cannot be delayed. We should prepare for the battle as soon as possible. If the King of Bohai is just to wipe out the remnants of the Yuan family, we welcome it. If it is for the purpose of conquering the city, then we, the people of Jingzhou, will never agree!" Cai Mao said.

Hearing this, Liu Biao sneered in his heart, hehehe, he knew better than anyone else that the king of Bohai wanted to wipe out the remnants, and the second was to cut off the powerful, so Liu Biao didn't listen to everything Cai Hao said.

At this moment, there were two voices in his mind.

The first is to lead Jingzhou alone, which means that he has more power and autonomy. As for the problem of tyranny, he believes that he will solve it one day.

Second, follow the advice of the King of Bohai, and use the power of the King of Bohai to quickly re-occupy Jingzhou. The original occupation was helped by the powerful to occupy it, but now, on the contrary, it is necessary to cut off the powerful from all over the place.

Ambition told himself to choose the first option.

My conscience told me to choose the second option.

After Cai Mao finished speaking, Kuai Yue took over the words: "Your Majesty, compared with the current strength of the two armies, it is absolutely difficult to compete with them. The most urgent task at the moment is to call on all localities to step up raising food and recruit soldiers and build weapons. With our tens of millions in Jingzhou People, are you still afraid of a mere [-] soldiers?"

Liu Biao glanced at Kuai Yue in surprise.

Although Kuai Yue has a good brain, it's a pity that he doesn't know how to fight.

Although he didn't personally participate in the battle, he had heard too many military reports. Before the news of Bohai King's great victory, the units of soldiers and horses were almost thousands, thousands of soldiers and horses, which could break Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops. Now, One hundred thousand of the king of Bohai.

Liu Biao looked at Kuai Liang again, and asked, "Zirou, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Kuai Liang said indifferently: "My lord's Jingzhou shepherd was taught by the first emperor himself, and he was a minister of the Han family. What's more, my lord is a clan member of the Han family. I expect the king of Bohai will not do anything."

When Liu Biao heard this, he realized that these words were really for himself and Jingzhou as the starting point, rather than Kuai Yue's active preparation for the battle.

"Kuai Liang's words also make some sense." Liu Biao echoed, but he didn't sigh deeply. After hearing this, everyone thought Liu Biao didn't like this plan.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun even smiled.

However, Liu Biao's heart, who can guess, Kuai Liang's words, just hit the second option, and Kuai Liang's words also made Liu Biao's choice more towards the second option.

The most important point is that the King of Bohai will treat the surrendered generals well, from as far as the Yellow Turban, to all parties, and even news from the north. Today's Xianbei also highly respects the kindness of the King of Bohai. For these years, the northern frontier has been peaceful.

Such a benevolent king, if he wholeheartedly submits, I am afraid that in his heart, his status will not be inferior to Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Liu Biao first thought of these two people.

One is a minister of the imperial court, and the other is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. They both followed the King of Bohai to make contributions and gradually became officials of the frontier.

Thinking about it, Liu Biao seemed to have reached a conclusion.

However, there is no need to worry about all this.

The few people in the hall were still speaking, discussing, and sometimes quarreled. Liu Biao knew in his heart that resourcefulness was important, but in front of absolute strength, resourcefulness was a bit ridiculous.

Three days later, Liu Qing joined forces with Zhang Liao, Zhou Tai, and Tai Shici who were stationed in Nanchang, and ordered Zhou Tai to go down the Gan River to meet Gan Ning on the great river, while Liu Qing's land troops followed the Xingan Yichun line, Enter Liling County in Changsha County.

After entering the mountainous area, the marching speed of soldiers and horses also slowed down, and even the official roads in many places were already half-abolished.

This also made Liu Qing make up his mind. After all the forces are eliminated, the whole country will play a game of chess. At that time, the official roads and water conservancy must be refurbished.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and if you want to vigorously develop the economy, infrastructure is a must.

"Feng Xiao, there are many mountains here, do you have a strategy for mountain warfare?" Liu Qing asked.

"Returning to my lord, the mountains are really easy to harass. However, with the strength of our army, they are connected to each other for more than ten miles. It is almost impossible to harass the main formation. The only thing to be wary of is that they let the army go and attack the rear. Food and grass." Guo Jia said.

"This matter really has to be guarded against. I heard that Sun Jian's army attaches great importance to food and grass, and he will naturally make up his mind about the enemy's food and grass." Liu Qing thought for a while, and then ordered: "Send Jiang Qi to order his headquarters to stop advancing and wait here for the supplies. .”

Among the generals who surrendered from the Yuan family, Yan Liangwen, Chou and Ji Ling were all fighting type, only Jiang Qiwen was stable, and he was remarkable in commanding troops. It was safest for him to look after the luggage.

"Send Gao Lan to order his infantry to slow down as Jiang Qi's support."

After the two orders went on, Liu Qing felt relieved a lot.

Speaking of mountain warfare, in my impression, Danyang soldiers are very good at mountain warfare, and among the Sun's soldiers, they should have recruited many local soldiers who are good at mountain warfare.

"My lord, the guide said that our army's direction is a bit off. Liling County should be about ten miles south." Zhang Liao rode back and reported.

The guide is a local Lizheng who has heard of the name of King Bohai, so he is willing to lead the way.

"It's okay, order the whole army to rest for half an hour." Turning around immediately, he said to Ji Ling who was behind him: "Ji Ling, you lead two thousand cavalry to Liling for a visit. What a waste of troops."

"Here!" Ji Ling led his army away.

"My lord, Lizheng said that if you travel more than ten miles, you will reach the Xiangshui River in front of you. If you follow the Xiangshui River to the north, you will be the seat of Changsha County, Linxiang County."

"It seems that this guide is quite good!" Liu Qing laughed, "When we reach Xiangshui, let the old man go back, and send someone to carry a few more bags of corn to take him back."

This is also what Liu Qing saw and heard when passing by. This one mile is still a place with convenient transportation. As the old man said, there are still many remote places where they basically make a living by fishing and hunting, and basically do not cultivate food.

On the flat land, the rich and high-quality fertile land along the river plain has already been occupied by the powerful gentry.

If you don't come and see this situation in person, how can you understand it if you sit in Luo Yang's big chair.

"My lord, a few bags of grain are not enough to change anything. It seems that Jingzhou, and even Yizhou, will be injustice!" Guo Jia said, he was always able to grasp the thoughts of King Bohai more accurately.

"Then Fengxiao, don't hesitate to think about it. When we arrive in Linxiang, how will we take the city?"
