Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 521 The Covenant in Fancheng
Wei Yan didn't understand, he had always been unknown, let alone offended the King of Bohai, why would he be named by the King of Bohai?
As for the fame spreading to the King of Bohai, it is even more nonsense. His so-called fame is only in the army. Generals like him with no background are quite neglected by Cai Mao. What kind of dirty work is tiring and dangerous The tasks are all done by them, and their appearance here tonight is proof.

Wei Yan, who originally planned to leave with the wind, couldn't help but stop, looked at Wen Chou with a sense of recovery, and said, "King Bohai, how do you know me?"

Wen Chou also has this confusion, but he can barely guess that the lord left Huang Zhong in Changsha, and Wen Chou also knows Huang Zhong's name, plus just after the fight, Wen Chou also recognized Wei Yan's strength, so he can barely guess It turns out that the lord has taken a fancy to Wei Yan and wants to solicit him.

"Why I know you, I don't know, but my lord selects talents and appoints talents, and never sees your background. I must know how capable you are, so I cherish your talents."

Wei Yan froze for a moment, Wen Chou was probably trying to trick him.

Seeing that Wei Yan was listening, Wen Chou said again: "Wei Yan, if I were you, I would abandon the darkness and turn to the light, follow the king, and make great achievements for the Han Dynasty!"

"A certain follower of Liu Jingsheng is also serving the Han Dynasty." Wei Yan said.

"Come on, Liu Biao's company with Cai Hao and others is simply insulting the name of the clan of the Han family. If he doesn't make things right, I will definitely not allow him. I won't stop you today, so you should think about it." Wen Chou said.

Wei Yan didn't reply, he turned his horse's head and disappeared into the night.

When Wen Chou returned to the front of the formation, Yan Hao asked curiously, "What are you talking about? Do you recognize this person?"

"This person is Wei Yan, the person on the lord's list."

"For tonight's battle, he was sent out of the city. It was almost a near-death situation. It can be seen that he is useless in Cai Mao's eyes. However, he knew that Jiangling was in trouble, but he left on his own. It can be seen that he does not want to see Cai Mao."

"Put it on hold for now, and report this matter to the lord tomorrow. Tonight, I will help General Zhao take down this Jiangling City!" Yan Liang looked at the top of the city and lit the fire, counting.
-
The blood-red sun was slowly rising. As soon as Liu Qing opened his eyes, he got a lot of information.

The lord Zhao Yun killed [Xing Daorong]

Benefits: Stamina +0.82, current stamina 92.82.

The lord Zhao Yun killed [Chen Ying]

Benefits: Force +0.72, the current force has reached the extreme value (100/100), no more bonuses.

The lord Zhao Yun killed [Liu Du]

Gain: Charisma +0.66, Current Charisma: 82.21.

Liu Qing found that there was no Cai Mao, and he didn't know whether he escaped or was captured alive. Liu Qing estimated that it was probably the latter.

Liu Qing stepped out of the tent and bathed in the morning sun, the east was covered with a morning glow, and half of the sky was red.

"Looks like last night was a bloody battle." Liu Qing sighed.

Dian Wei asked curiously, "Master, where is the battle?"

"Naturally Jiangling."

"Did Zilong really attack Jiangling?"

"It should be." Liu Qing was talking, and Guo Jia also came over.

"My lord got up very early today." Guo Jia said.

Liu Qing turned his head to Dian Wei and said, "Order to set off and arrive at Xiangyang as soon as possible."

When Guo Jia heard this, he felt that something was wrong, "My lord, could it be that Jiangling has..."

Liu Qing smiled without saying a word.

A trace of surprise flashed in Guo Jia's eyes. How could this be possible? In just one day, Jiangling Fortified City, even Zhao Yun, could not capture it in one day.

unless……

Guo Jia suddenly thought of Ru Yang.

As Yuan Shao's base camp, it took one night to break into the city.

In Jiangling City, there is already a dark chess game preset by the lord.

Looking at the understatement, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel that the lord was becoming more and more unfathomable. He even thought it was a joke when he said to attack Jiangling earlier, but he didn't expect Zhao Yun to really go, let alone the lord. , succeeded!
Jiangling City, the stronghold of the Jingzhou War Faction, fell overnight.

It seems that the next step of the master's plan can be carried out smoothly, no wonder the master is impatient, after all, this step has been thought about for several years.

Guo Jia also imitated Liu Qing's appearance, looking at the sky, what he saw at this time was not blood red, but golden.
-
The news of Jiangling's fall was much faster than King Bohai's advance. When it reached Xiangyang first, Xiangyang immediately exploded.

Especially the main fighters, Jiangling fell, it can be said that they lost their last ounce of confidence.

Even though Liu Biao had expected that Cai Mao would fail, he never expected that Cai Mao would lose so quickly and completely.

Jiangling City, which was defended by several counties, fell overnight. Several generals died in battle, including Lingling prefect Liu Du and Cai Mao who lost their trace.

Liu Biao immediately ordered someone to invite the Kuai brothers, firstly to test whether there was any change in Kuai's war and decision, and secondly to let the two plan their next move.

The Kuai brothers soon appeared in Liu Biao's residence, and the two of them had also learned the news of Jiangling's fall.

"My lord, Jiangling's tens of thousands of troops don't know what to do now, and the King of Bohai is coming in such a way that we should call in all the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou to stop him from advancing." Kuai Yue said, his main idea of ​​the battle did not seem to waver.

Kuai Liang also took the opportunity to speak: "My lord, at this point, the warriors are defeated and the peaceful ones survive. The most urgent thing is to send envoys to meet the King of Bohai, so that Xiangyang will not fall into a situation of blood and fire like Jiangling."

"Zirou, if you don't fight, are you going to wait to be annexed by Liu Qing?"

"Different degrees, the King of Bohai is not a person who kills indiscriminately. As long as we cooperate with his new policy, he will forgive us." Kuai Liang said.

"Cooperate? Then my Kuai family's business for several generations will be ruined once. Even if we survive for a lifetime, what face do we have to meet our ancestors?" Kuai Yue asked.

Kuai Liang was silent for a moment, did not answer, but said in his heart: If the person is gone, the Kuai family is really going to die.

"Okay, Yidu, the defense of Jiangling was really caught off guard. It can be seen that with the strength of King Bohai, Xiangyang City can't stop his army." Liu Biao said, looked at Kuai Yue, and continued: "Xiangyang It is rare to be prosperous, if there is a war, it will be a crime!"

Kuai Yue couldn't figure out what Liu Biao meant, but his brother, Kuai Zirou, had already turned his elbow to the King of Bohai's side, that was for sure.

In the end, the two broke up unhappy, and Liu Qing's intention was not realized.

Hey, if I knew it earlier, I would have called Kuai Liang alone.

Liu Biao sighed, silently took out a letter from his sleeve, and watched it quietly.

He already knew the content of the letter. This was the third letter from King Bohai to him, and it was also a letter telling him how to take the last step. What he had to do was to urge King Bohai.

"The covenant in Fancheng." Liu Biao murmured.

For the next period of time, Liu Biao was in a very anxious mood. As the troops of King Bohai got closer and closer, people in Xiangyang began to panic. Fortunately, King Bohai's reputation was surprisingly good. With the arrival of the King of Bohai, especially those common people who have been bullied by the tyrants, Liu Biao is in cahoots with them, so naturally he cannot be the master.

In the city of Xiangyang, a trend of welcoming the King of Bohai gradually formed. When the news reached Liu Biao, Liu Biao was also very helpless.

At the end of May, all the waiting has been fulfilled, anticipation, worry and fear.

The king of Bohai has really come to Xiangyang.

Liu Qing did not enter the city, but immediately invited Liu Biao out of the city for a talk.

Liu Biao knew that he had opened his heart to Liu Qing, so he didn't take any precautions. Amidst the sound of obstacles, he brought a few people and came to the appointment.

Liu Qing looked at Liu Biao's appearance. At this time, Liu Biao was at the peak of his age. Without Liu Qing, he would still be able to deal with the Jingzhou tyrants for a long time, and then another 20 years...

"Brother Jing Sheng, I've heard about your name for a long time, and I finally meet you today!" Liu Qing said that he had heard it for a long time in his previous life.

Liu Biao was stunned. Isn't this his opening statement? Why was he robbed first by the king of Bohai?
"Brother Junzheng, the one who should have admired his name for a long time is Brother Yu!"

Liu Qing stepped forward, reached out and patted Liu Biao's shoulder, with a very friendly manner, and said with a smile: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty has gone through the Yellow Turban Uprising, foreign invasion, and Yuan's usurpation. My journey this way can be regarded as the end." Now, under Brother Jing Sheng's governance, although Jingzhou is not as rich as this king's Jizhou, it is better than Taiping, which is especially rare!"

While Liu Qing praised Liu Biao, he also praised himself incidentally.

Liu Biao said with a smile: "No one in the world knows that the King of Bohai is the country of the Han Dynasty. He has been fighting for several years. The foolish brother is mere capable, how dare he compare with the virtuous brother."

Liu Qing cut to the chase and asked, "Brother Jing Sheng, how have you been thinking these past few days?"

What Liu Qing said was the agreement in Fancheng, Liu Biao was silent for a few breaths, and nodded instead of answering.

In other words: "Liu Biao accepted!"

Liu Qing smiled happily, very sincerely.

"Go, follow me around and see my invincible master sweeping the world."

Liu Qing enthusiastically pulled Liu Biao, Liu Biao didn't know that although he agreed, but after Liu Qing's army withdrew, he would inevitably regret it, so he wanted to impress himself deeply.

This is showing off his might, warning himself not to play tricks with King Bohai.

Liu Biao agreed straightforwardly, and Liu Qing's army also left simply, of course, not really leaving.

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai's navy had already met at Hanshui, sent Liu Qing's army across the river slowly, the north bank of Hanshui was Fancheng, and Jia Xu was waiting in Fancheng for this matter.

Liu Qing’s soldiers approached the city, Liu Biao went out of the city, and then Liu Qing’s army began to march north. Some people said that Liu Biao had already offered his sincerity to the King of Bohai, and some people said that he was a relative of the Han family. here.

Using one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to pass by, this idea is also very fresh and refined.

However, the most mainstream voice is that King Bohai has an agreement with Liu Biao.

This agreement was passed on with nose and eyes, as if it were real. When it reached Liu Biao's ears, Liu Biao was stunned, thinking that he hadn't revealed it, even Kuai Liang didn't tell it.

As time passed day by day, the rumor became more and more faint, and when it was almost forgotten, suddenly, this topic was heated up again.

The reason was the high platform outside Fancheng that was about to be completed, and those who cared could easily think of the rumors about the previous agreement.

This kind of high platform usually only appears during major events, so the rumors that had been circulating before became popular again.

The agreed time, June [-], was getting closer and closer. Liu Biao was separated by a river, so there was no need to rush ahead.
-
Fancheng, facing Xiangyang across the river, is nominally the auxiliary city of Xiangyang, but in fact, it is located in Nanyang, and Xiangyang is located in Nanjun.

At this moment, Fancheng is surprisingly lively, because Liu Qing's army is stationed outside the city, and there are many distinguished guests in the city.

There are Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, Liu Bei, the shepherd of Xuzhou, Liu Yao, the shepherd of Yangzhou, and Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou who finally crossed the poor mountains and rivers and trekked hard.

Several people stayed together during the day and chatted about the affairs of the world together. Sometimes even at night, they would talk by candlelight. However, Liu Yan and Liu Qing were not very familiar with each other, so he rarely participated in the evening scenes, and he had old wounds on his body. , need more rest.

On June [-]th, the high platform was completed, and Liu Qing led a group of clan members to visit it.

Liu Biao, who was the closest, did not arrive for a long time.

"Liu Jingsheng doesn't know what's going on, Junzheng, why don't you urge him!" Liu Yan was the oldest among them, and also the earliest clan member who served as Zongzheng. In terms of seniority, he was older than Liu Yu.

Liu Qing smiled: "I didn't urge you either. Speaking of which, the situation in Jingzhou is the most complicated one. It's understandable that Brother Jing Sheng is busy with business."

Liu Qing excused him.

A few people walked up to the stage, looking south, it was the river, and looking north, it was the mountains. The view was wide and the mood was much more comfortable.

"It's still Jinxiu in the south, brother Junlang, I heard that the middle of Sichuan is rich and prosperous, and we will be rebellious in the future, how about a change?" Liu Yuchong and Liu Yan joked.

After getting along for a few days, the two seem to have returned to the court. In the past, eunuchs and relatives took turns to control the government. Clans have always been excluded, so the relationship between clans, if there is no conflict of interest, is very good. When Liu Yu took over as Liu Yan's Zongzheng, he was elected by Liu Yan.

"Haha, you and I can't decide this matter!" Liu Yan smiled, winked, looked at Liu Qing, and continued: "You and my predecessor Zongzheng are useless in front of the King of Bohai!"

"Brother Junlang was joking. In the past, the courts of the Han Dynasty were in ruins, but thanks to your hosts, the world is now a little more stable. We, the Han family members, should also think about the future of the country."

Liu Yan was silent for a moment, then said: "Everyone should know that the policy of Li Mu was advised by Yan Emperor Ling. It's better to hand it over to the clan temporarily."

Liu Yan swept across the crowd, and continued: "There are more people, and there are fewer people. I can't say it. Thanks to Junzheng's contribution, I am very pleased to put the country on the right track. Junzheng, please accept my worship!"

As he spoke, Liu Yan bowed to Liu Qing.

Everyone looked at Liu Yansha's seriousness and agreed with his words very much. Except for Liu Yan, everyone present was Liu Qing's people, so they imitated Liu Yan's actions, surrounded Liu Qing in the middle, and bowed together.

"Thanks to Junzheng's merits, the country has been put on the right track, please accept my worship!"
