Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 359
The three of Hong Xiuquan were ordered by Liu Xie to be imprisoned in a large prison, and Jia Xu, a ruthless military adviser, personally interrogated them, so there was no need to worry about them being dishonest about their problems.

However, something to Liu Xie's surprise was that the first person who couldn't bear to tell everything was not Hong Rengan, a small and frail scholar, but Wei Changhui, a miserable man who had one of his shoulders chopped off by Cheng Yaojin.

Wei Changhui was questioned by Jia Xu's verbal attack, and his inner defense completely collapsed, and he doubted his life.

Without struggling or hesitating for long, he told everything about how the Yellow Turbans were lurking in various places, secretly preparing to start another uprising.

Even when he was sent by Hong Xiuquan to contact Huang Chao and Zhang Yan, he did not hide anything and told the truth.

Liu Xie was very interested in these things, and Wei Changhui was even more interested in what he liked.

Liu Xie also didn't believe him and asked Jia Xu to isolate them separately when he interrogated them.

After hearing that Wei Changhui had surrendered, Hong Rengan couldn't hold on to the harsh punishment and told him everything he knew.

What he said was not much different from what Wei Changhui said, but they were not exactly the same.

Only then did Liu Xie feel relieved, and he was able to confirm that they had not communicated and discussed with each other, and that they were telling the truth.

The remaining two, Hong Xiuquan and Shi Dakai, no matter how aggressive Jia Xu was, they kept silent, admirable, but also stubborn.

After sorting out the words of Wei Changhui and Hong Rengan, Liu Xie discovered that these Yellow Turban thieves were really not simple. They were actually the authentic legacy of the Yellow Turban orthodoxy.

Huang Chao and Zhang Yan of the Heishan Army in Hebei belong to the lineage of General Tiangong Zhang Jiao, the purest force of the Yellow Turban. According to legend, Zhang Jiao's only daughter is now in the Heishan Army.

This road is also the most powerful among the three groups of Yellow Turban thieves. Not only are there generals such as Yang Feng, Yu Du, Bai Rao, Sui Gu, and Tao Sheng, but also more than [-] elite soldiers and horses. Yuan Shao in the state is very headache.

Hong Xiuquan and others who were wandering in Qingzhou and Xuzhou were the descendants of the local general Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao is good at spells and can use magic talismans to drive away diseases and save people. Hong Xiuquan is his great disciple.

It's just that Hong Xiuquan didn't learn the Taoism completely, so he could only confuse people's hearts by establishing the religion of worshiping God.

With the help of Shi Dakai and others, his strength has developed rapidly, and he is no longer considered weak, but in the end he leaked the news and was noticed by Xuan Jingsi, and his final destruction is imminent.

The third route is Liangshan Songjiang Road in Guangling County. He is the force left behind by the Renggong General Zhang Liang.

It's just that Song Jiang was forced to join the Yellow Turban Bandit at the beginning, and he always hoped to be recruited as a good man. It's just because Zhang Liang treated him well, so he didn't dare to live up to Zhang Liang's dying entrustment.

The Yellow Turban thieves along this route were the most incompetent. They were invincible against Chen Deng, and were defeated and surrendered directly against Sun Ce. Zhou Yu is still responsible for garrisoning Guangling for Sun Jian, but no one knows what Song Jiang is thinking now.

Hong Xiuquan felt that the world was becoming more chaotic due to the wars of the princes, and the strength of their Yellow Turbans was gradually recovering, so he took the initiative to contact Huang Chao and Zhang Yan, to be precise, he contacted Zhang Jiao's mysterious daughter, and their so-called young masters reunited. , calling for the Yellow Turban uprising.

It's just that the situation of the Black Mountain bandits is not easy. Yuan Shao has already dispatched general Yan Liangwen Chou to lead [-] elite troops to fight against them. Now that there are frequent wars in the Taihang Mountains, they are powerless to start an incident.

A hundred-footed worm, dead but not stiff.

Liu Xie never thought that the yellow turban thieves still have such power in secret. If he hadn't discovered it early, he would have arrested and detained the leading figures of the yellow turban thieves in Xuzhou and Qingzhou. There will definitely be many ignorant people joining in, causing great damage to his internal stability.

Hong Xiuquan had the charm of a monarch and was an ambitious guy who was unwilling to be inferior to others. Liu Xie had no interest in recruiting him.

Hong Rengan was a fanciful scholar who couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. To put it nicely, it was called romanticism, but to put it bluntly, it was just nonsense. Liu Xie was also not in the mood to recruit him.

Of the remaining Shi Dakai and Wei Changhui, one was smelly and hard like a stone in a hut, and the other had a broken arm and became a cripple. Liu Xie didn't have a good impression of these two either.

"However, it's not useless at all!"

Liu Xie walked out of the prison, stood at the door and looked at the deep night sky, and suddenly thought of an excuse to capture Guangling openly.

It's just that Liu Xie still hesitates whether to tear up face with Sun Jian, invade Guangling County, and take the whole of Xuzhou.

In addition to actual combat experience, his Qingzhou Navy is no weaker than Jiangdong Navy in terms of commanders, generals, warships, and soldiers. It is not difficult to attack Guangling County, and he can even order Qi Jiguang and Gan Ning to join Zhuangwu. Going south from Jiaozhou Bay, they attacked Guangling directly from the sea and were caught off guard.

Therefore, as long as he asked Hong Rengan and Wei Changhui to pretend to be defeated and flee to Guangling County to attach themselves to Songjiang, he could then naturally let Yue Fei send troops from Xiapi to attack Guangling County.

Apart from Song Jiang, there was only one Zhou Tai in Guangling. Liu Xie was confident that he could capture Guangling County before Sun Jian could react.

But Liu Xie thought more. Now one side of his territory faces the sea, and the other three sides are surrounded by powerful princes.

Yuan Shao in the north is like a giant tiger with its mouth wide open, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu in the west are like poisonous snakes and wolves holding back, and in the south is Sun Jian, a dragon in the water.

Liu Xie had already turned against the two brothers of the Yuan family, and Cao Cao also vaguely knew that it was strange for Yue Fei, Qin Qiong and others to appear in Yuzhou.

If Liu Xie and Sun Jian gave up their relationship with Sun Jian a few times now, they would be really in danger and besieged on all sides.

Liu Xie did not expect Sun Jian to help him in times of crisis, as long as he did not take the opportunity to add insult to injury.

Therefore, although Guangling County is easy to fight, Liu Xie cannot.

"Take care of these four people. Don't teach them to escape or seek death. It may not be useless in the future."

Liu Xie rubbed his head with both hands, relaxed, and gave instructions to the cell leader who was following him.

Now it was satisfying to kill Hong Xiuquan with one knife, but Liu Xie had a longer term in mind.

In the future, when he deals with the Yellow Turban Thieves or alien barbarians, he may not let Hong Xiuquan, a big fool, play a role.

His life is spared now, and what may be exchanged in the future will be the lives of thousands of more bloody soldiers and innocent people.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely take good care of them!"

The cell boss was very excited, it was the first time he got so close to Liu Xie and talked to him.

Liu Xie smiled, seeing clearly what the cell boss was thinking, turned around and left without saying much.
