Chapter 28 Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rise

People are unlucky, and they stuff their teeth when they drink cold water! In the five hours of yesterday, the old wolf's broken computer was forced to reinstall the system twice, and all the manuscripts were reimbursed ....... Today's update of more than 5,000 words, I hope to make you angry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world! This sentence vividly describes the miserable life of the people in the war years. It is almost a law, every time there is a change of dynasty and the fall of the dynasty, the land of China will inevitably be plagued by natural and man-made disasters, and the soldiers will continue to fight one after another, and it is naturally not the emperors and magnates and landlords and warlords who will suffer in the end, but the people at the lowest level.

At the beginning of the autumn of the first year of Han Jian'an, the common people who had just experienced the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants and the Eighteenth Route Princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo had not been able to take a breath, and the terrible drought and locust plague came one after another, and the farmland in Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Jizhou was not harvested, coupled with the continuous turmoil in the north in recent years, the serious shortage of labor, and the inability to rush for disaster relief.

The disaster situation in the north was constantly reported to Luoyang, and the local officials usually did not buy Dong Zhuo's account, and the orders of the imperial court were also disobeyed, and when it was dangerous, they kicked the ball to Dong Zhuo again, reaching out for relief and food. Dong Zhuo gave, then the credit for relieving the people is the local official's, and you can also make a lot of money from it; If Dong Zhuo doesn't give it, then the local officials can say to the people, it's not that we don't help you, but that the court doesn't help you, and Dong Taishi doesn't help you, so if you want to hate it, hate Dong Zhuo.

Of course, Kang Peng understands this truth, but he can't help but give it, the first is of course to win the hearts of the people and prepare for the future seizure of the world, the second is the pressure of the minister and Kang Peng's subordinates, the most important thing is that the bad student is a modern person, although he is not very commendable in morality, but after all, he has received a modern education, and he can't bear to see a famine among the people in his heart. Therefore, Kang Peng, despite Li Ru's resolute opposition, decided to postpone his world plan for a year, and ordered Li Ru to transfer grain from Guanzhong, which he directly controlled, to help the victims.

Li Ru understood that his father-in-law's actions were tantamount to harming himself and benefiting others, and he was pedantic, but Li Ru had always been loyal to his father-in-law, and knew that it was a chaotic life, so he had no choice but to carry it out to the letter, and immediately arranged for the transfer of grain from Yongzhou and Bingzhou to Luoyang, preparing to transfer it to various places, and the disaster relief grain collected in Luoyang had been loaded into trucks and transported to the disaster area through Bishui Pass.

But it was already late, and the day after the grain set off from Luoyang, Li Ru received an urgent report from Qingzhou - there was another Yellow Turban Uprising in Qingzhou! The rebel army amounted to hundreds of thousands, and there was a tendency to spread and expand, and the last Yellow Turban Uprising was different, this Yellow Turban Uprising did not have a unified leadership, but was led by different leaders, attacking the city and plundering the land, and the hungry people all the way were attached, and most of Qingzhou had fallen. Another difference is that this time the Yellow Turban Rebel Army played the banner of Qing Jun's side and Dong Zhuo, and brought out Dong Zhuo's crime of indiscriminate killing of innocents and ** court that had been widely spread in Luoyang City, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Dong Zhuo.

Li Ru was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the delivery of relief food to be suspended so as not to fall into the hands of the rebel army, and then Pegasus went to Dong Zhuo's mansion to report the news. When Li Ru hurriedly ran into Dong Zhuo's study, Kang Peng was teaching Cai Wenji and Sun Shangxiang mathematics, Cai Wenji had already learned to use more than 1,000 simplified Chinese characters that Kang Peng knew, but Kang Peng was reluctant to give up the opportunity to meet Cai Wenji again, so he moved out of mathematics to tempt Cai Wenji and trick her into coming to his house every day.

"Father-in-law, it's not good!" Li Ru didn't care about others, and shouted when he entered the house: "Qingzhou Yellow Turban thieves have risen again, Qingzhou has almost all been occupied by thieves except for Beihai and Linzi, and the victims from all over the country have responded in groups, Yanzhou and Xuzhou are in danger!" Maybe Li Ru ran too quickly and forked his breath, and he coughed non-stop after shouting.

Kang Peng was also shocked, didn't the Qingzhou Yellow Turban rise again in 193 AD? Why did it happen in 190 A.D. now? Could it be that I came to this era and history has changed? But after thinking about it, Kang Peng suddenly understood that in the original history, the princes fought against Dong and returned victoriously, preserving their strength to suppress it, and it did not happen until after the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and was finally suppressed by Cao Cao. And now he has become Dong Zhuo, the princes have been defeated by themselves, the princes have also been captured and imprisoned in Luoyang by themselves, and the coalition army has also been disbanded, which has created a great power vacuum in various places, and the famine has added to the chaos, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Uprising has occurred in advance.

Kang Peng regretted it extremely at the moment, why didn't he think of sending someone to take their place immediately after he caught the princes of the Eighteenth Road, but only thought about controlling the central government and blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes? Thinking about it, Kang Peng was shocked into a cold sweat, he came to this era, and at that time he still vowed to conquer the world, unify the world, and reproduce the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties. also relied on his understanding of history, burned down the granary of the coalition army, easily won the victory of the Tiger Pass, and began to benefit the people of the world. But since he came to Luoyang, he has been invincible in the world with his military strength, and he has been immersed in complacency every day, forgetting all his ideals, and has not been in charge of politics for dozens of days, just having fun, how could he become like this? Could it be that he has forgotten the lesson of the real Dong Zhuo?

The more Kang Peng thought about it, the more he regretted it, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and suddenly shouted: "Li Ru, gather everyone for me to discuss political affairs!" ”

Although Kang Peng's name was not very polite in a hurry, Li Ru was still overjoyed, and his father-in-law finally got rid of his addiction to women, "Yes, the son-in-law will arrange it." ”

Kang Peng turned his head to Cai Wenji and said, "Wenji, you also heard it, Benxiang must be very busy these days, you ......"

Cai Wenji gently interrupted Kang Peng's words, "Taishi, I know, I won't be here for the next few days, it's still important for state affairs, I'll leave first." During this time, although Wei Zhongdao no longer objected to Cai Wenji going to Dong Zhuo's Mansion to study, Cai Yong was still resolutely opposed, because there were already rumors that Cai Yong was using his only daughter to Dong Zhuo in exchange for his future, Rao is Cai Wenji was born with a hearty and proud personality, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and today he took this opportunity to propose not to come to Dong Zhuo's Mansion to study.

Kang Peng nodded in agreement. At this time, Sun Shangxiang seemed to understand something, and hugged Cai Wenji tightly, "Sister, will you come to see Xiangxiang in the future?" Cai Wenji patted her head, "Xiangxiang, my sister will come to see you, you can also go to my sister's house to see my sister, you have to listen to your brother in the future, understand?" Cai Wenji thought for a while, and suddenly added, "Also, you must not be alone in the same room with the Taishi!" ”

Hearing Cai Wenji's words, Kang Peng rolled his eyes in anger, but Cai Wenji smiled at him and walked out quickly, and when he passed by Li Ru's side, Li Ru scolded fiercely in his heart, "Fox girl!" It was you who confused my father-in-law, so he didn't care about political affairs! ”

Cai Wenji had already gone out, and she always felt that something was missing in her heart, so she thought about it and turned back and said, "Taishi, August 15 is my sixteenth birthday, you must bring Xiangxiang here." After speaking, he didn't wait for Kang Peng to answer, turned his head and left.

……

When Cai Wenji left Dong's house, she happened to be bumped into by Dong Chong and Dong Man, Dong Chong and Dong Man greeted her, but Cai Wenji has always been disgusted with these two bad guys who had kidnapped her, and she didn't answer and left with her head held high.

Dong Chong and Dong Man, the two bad boys, knew her temper, but they knew that the eldest brother was infatuated with her, and they were not angry, but Dong Chong muttered to Dong Man: "Third brother, why hasn't the eldest brother gotten her hands on her yet?" ”

Dong Man also wondered, "Yes, if it was before, our eldest brother would have turned her into our sister-in-law." Dong Man thought about it, and suddenly said nervously: "Second brother, do you say that the eldest brother is old and can't do that?" ”

Dong Chong is not a good bird, and he is also very nervous when he hears this, "Yes, it makes sense!" The eldest brother doesn't even want the princess to be sent to the door, this girl and the eldest brother like her so much, we helped the eldest brother tie her up, and the eldest brother didn't get started, there must be something wrong with the eldest brother's body! ”

Dong Man rolled his eyes, and said to Dong Chong: "Second brother, I heard that ......"

Dong Chong had also heard of this person, and said with great joy: "Okay, I'll send someone to arrest him to honor my eldest brother!" ”

……

"According to the latest local report, the number of yellow turban thieves in Qingzhou has reached 400,000, but the number is still increasing sharply, and now there should be more than 500,000, or even more!" At Dong Zhuojun's meeting, Li Ruxian reported the situation of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebel Army to everyone, "Almost all of Qingzhou fell into the hands of thieves, and at the same time, Yanzhou and Jizhou also had a small group of Yellow Turban thieves responding, and there is a tendency to spread, they are all fighting under the banner of Qingjun's side and crusading against Taishi!" ”

Kang Peng gasped, "So much? Where are they with so many soldiers? Does anyone know about the lead? ”

Xun Yu replied: "There must be!" In the great drought in the north, the people have no food to continue, and when they are desperate, they are very easy to be instigated by the yellow turban thieves to rebel. As for the thief leader, there are no big bosses like Zhang Jiao, they are all composed of small leaders. ”

"A rabble." Lu Bu said disdainfully: "Father-in-law, please give the child a soldier and horse, and the child will kill all these thieves for you." ”

"Don't move lightly." Chen Gong stopped: "Qingzhou is far away, if our army goes on an expedition, it will be difficult to transport grain, and the grain route is not under the control of the Taishi, if the grain route is cut off, our army will be in danger." ”

Xun You smiled, "Gongtai's words are wrong, the whole world, it is not the king's land, since the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion, all places have been their own governments, and the will of the Holy Lord will not work very well when Luoyang comes out." Since the Taishi is the auxiliary government of the dynasty, he should lead the king to go out and restore my Han rivers and mountains, so that he can live through the ages. ”

"Don't ......" Li Ru hurriedly interrupted when he heard Xun You's words, and coughed again and again in a hurry, "Cough, cough, the Taishi is a daughter, how can he leave the capital lightly?" ”

Kang Peng saw that Li Ru was coughing badly and seemed to be sick, knowing that he was tired like this for himself, he was moved and hurriedly got up to pat Li Ru's back, and said softly: "Xianjia, don't panic, of course you know that you can't leave Luoyang lightly, and you won't easily lead your division to the battle." ”

The more Li Ru coughed, the more severe it became, but he still struggled and said: "Cough, cough, Taishi, although the number of Yellow Turban thieves is large, they are not trained, and there is no military food supply, it is indeed a rabble, our army only needs to send a general to go, accompanied by a resourceful man, use Mr. Wenhe to break the plan of the princes, fight steadily, step by step, and will definitely break the enemy army." Li Ru was already coughing and his face was blue at the moment, for so many days, Kang Peng had been ignoring the government and politics, and all the big and small affairs were pressed on him, although he had the help of the Xun family's uncle and nephew and Chen Gong, he was also very tired.

Seeing that he was seriously ill, Kang Peng cried out in distress: "Xianjia, don't talk, leave the matter here to us." Someone came, helped Xianjia go back to rest, and found Lang Zhong to treat Xianjia. ”

Li Ru wanted to postpone it, but his body couldn't hold it anymore, so he had to rest according to his words, but when he was leaving, Li Ru repeatedly instructed Kang Peng, "Father-in-law, you are the backbone of the imperial court and the Xiliang army, and you must not leave Luoyang lightly, otherwise our army will be in danger." ”

After Li Ru left, Kang Peng really listened to Li Ru's advice, no matter how the uncles and nephews of the Xun family persuaded him, he just did not let go and personally led the troops to the battle, but decided to send Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Chen Gong to lead 50,000 black cavalry troops and the trapped camp to fight against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebel Army. Kang Peng immediately ordered Zhang Liao and others to reorganize the army and horses, prepare grain and grass, and swore to go on the expedition the next day.

……

After Dong Zhuojun's meeting, the uncles and nephews of the Xun family said goodbye and returned to their residences, Li Ru arranged for them to live in the east of Luoyang City, perhaps it was Li Ru's unintentional move, the two of them lived far away from the mansions of the ministers of the court, but closer to the people's houses, and the uncles and nephews of the Xun family didn't seem to care, and they lived happily.

When he was about to get home, Xun Yu pointed to a big cake shop on the side of the road and said, "Gongda, I'll go buy some of this family's cakes, his cakes taste much better than those made by the chef at home." ”

Xun You smiled and nodded, and he also knew that the uncles and nephews of the Xun family loved to buy cakes and pot helmets at home, and they didn't care. Xun Yujing walked into the store, "Shop, five more cakes." At the same time, he handed over fifty cents.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties, and when he saw that Xun You was an old customer, he handed over the flatbread with a smile on his face, and took the copper coin, which was sandwiched between the money and a small paper ball! Then the shopkeeper flicked his finger, and the paper ball flew into his sleeve, and even the other customers in the store didn't see it.

But neither Xun You nor the shopkeeper noticed that at this moment, on the other side of the street, there was a pair of sharp eyes staring at them all the time......

Soon after Xun You left, the shopkeeper was about to buy ingredients, handed over the shop to the guards and went out. Maybe it was a coincidence, the shopkeeper went to buy the ingredients that was opened by a distant relative of the great Situ Wang Yun of the dynasty, and the shopkeeper accidentally dropped the small paper ball into the counter of the material shop, and then the small paper ball turned around seven or eight times, and passed through a tunnel in the middle, and finally sent it to the secret room where Diao Chan was once held, and fell into the hands of Wang Yun, Wei Zhongdao, Feng Eunuch Brothers, and a person named Guo Jia.

……

"This Li Ru is really good to his father-in-law, and he handles the government for his father-in-law when he is sick." Guo Jia took the small note and said with a smile: "I can't hold it anymore, and I still persuade his father-in-law not to personally lead the troops to leave Luoyang, his loyalty is commendable." ”

"It's a pity that Qingzhou is moving a little faster, if it is a few days later, wait for the news that Li Ru's traitor is sick before arriving in Luoyang, Mr. Wenruo and Mr. Gongda will definitely be able to say that Dong Thief will lead the troops to the battle." Wei Zhongdao said regrettably, he is the same age as Guo Jia, and he writes well to make Guo Jia admire, and he has formed a pair of good friends with Guo Jia during this time.

"It's not that simple." Wang Yun also interjected: "Dong thief is treacherous, if he leads his troops to battle, if Luoyang is lost, he will cut off the backup grain and grass, he will not be easily fooled." ”

Wei Zhongdao said proudly: "As long as he Dong thief sends out the troops, it is better for him to stay in Luoyang, I can see with my own eyes the scene of Dong thief subduing the law, there is a clever plan of Fengxiao, Dong thief is dead!" ”

Eunuch Feng sighed, Feng Bin pulled the male duck's throat and said, "It's a pity that Diao Chan girl, I had to let the three-surnamed slave come out on top." Wang Situ, the Sprinkle family really regrets for you. Feng Guo's voice was even more disgusting, and he said neither male nor female: "Yes, that Diao Chan girl is really beautiful like a fairy, even a waste person like the Sprinkle family is also excited, Wang Situ, you have lost a lot." ”

Brother Feng's words just poked Wang Yun's sore spot, Wang Yun snorted heavily, and said incorrectly: "What is the pity of a mere slut?" For the sake of the court's plan, my nephew even got his future wife in, why does my Wang Yun regret a concubine? ”

Wang Yun's vinegar words, how could the Feng eunuch brothers, who were accustomed to observing words and expressions, not hear it, Feng Bin was used to smiling disgustingly, "Hehe, if Wang Situ is reluctant, while Diao Chan is still in the mansion, pick this flower first." When Diao Chan gets married, the Sprinkle family will teach her another method, and she will definitely be able to hide from the three family slaves. ”

Wang Yun's heart was moved, and he almost asked what the method was, but thinking of his nephew and Guo Jia beside him, Wang Yun suppressed his desire again, and pretended to be generous: "Forget it, as long as the three surnamed slaves are willing to help me and others to destroy the thief, Diao Chan will send him." ”

Wang Yun said to Guo Jia again: "Fengxiao, what should I do with the three thousand soldiers and horses who are ambushed north of the Yellow River?" Since Dong Thief refused to leave Luoyang, they were useless for the time being, and General Xu Zhen and General Dian Wei, who led the team, kept shouting that they would come to participate in the world's first military general conference on the first day of September. ”

Guo Jia didn't blink his eyelids, "If they want to come, let them come, and they will be a good helper when they kill Dong Thief." Guo Jia sneered again: "Li Ru's various arrangements during this period of time are nothing more than to use the name of the Wuhui Wenhui to wipe out all the talented people in the world, so as to reduce the resistance for his father-in-law to usurp the country in the future." It's a pity that there is more than one person who can see through this arrangement, and when this civil and military meeting is held, it is the death date of Dong Thief! ”

Wang Yun, Wei Zhongdao, and Eunuch Feng's brothers laughed together, laughing so viciously that it was like seeing Dong Zhuo's corpse lying at their feet. Guo Jia also smiled with them, and when these people had laughed enough, Guo Jia said: "Lord Situ, please come to Miss Diao Chan, it's time for us to teach her what to do." Guo Jia added with a smile, "And please ask Miss Diao Chan to wear a veil, Guo Jia is not a saint, in front of her flower and moon appearance, any plan will be forgotten." The witty words caused everyone to burst into laughter......

It's a pity that they laughed early, and Guo Jia is not the only one who manipulates behind the scenes! At this moment, there are also people in front of Li Confucian's gate who ask to see Li Ru, it stands to reason that Li Ru is sick and should not see anyone, but as soon as this person shows his appearance, Li Confucian, who is blocking the fight, stumbles and runs to inform Li Ru, and Li Ru's illness is immediately half healed, and he runs out barefoot to meet him......

"Xianjia, you must stop the Taishi from transferring troops to the battle, now the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has completely obeyed Lu Bu's orders, and Lu Bu is not reliable at all, without the Black Cavalry and the trapping camp, our army is in danger!"

"But what about the Qingzhou yellow scarf? Do you see them sitting big? ”

"This is so easy to do......"
