Chapter 255: Rebellion
At the beginning of June 190 AD, the Fenwu general Cao Cao led troops to rescue Kwai Cheng, but the wealthy family led by the three major families in Hanoi County took advantage of the situation to coerce Empress He, but did not want Liu Wei to leave behind him, and at the critical moment, he used the embroidered clothes of the guards of Empress He to point to the fast horse and whip, and successively assassinated the patriarchs after the three major families, and then prevented the civil strife in Hanoi County.
In mid-June, Cao Cao led an army with Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren brothers, and Ma Chao, divided his troops into three ways to rob the back of the Montenegrin army, and he himself with Zhang Qu and Lei Ding went out of the city to face Zhang Yan head-on.
Since then, although the two sides have sent small teams to fight, there has never been a large-scale battle, and the battle situation in front of the Tiger Prison Pass has fallen into a strange situation for a while.
However, Liu Wei's plan to attack Qingzhou was carried out smoothly, according to the detailed report, after Bu Ji, the largest force of the Yellow Turban Party in Qingzhou, led an army of 60,000 into Linzi City, in the name of Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong, he wantonly divided and gathered the large and small Yellow Turban generals in Linzi City, as if he claimed to be the lord of Qingzhou.
However, this move led to the disgust of the leaders of the Yellow Turbans from all walks of life, but because of their own weak strength, they could only be a cold bystander, and Linzi City fell into calm for a while, but under this seemingly calm surface, there were turbulent waves in secret, which of course was indispensable to Liu Wei's contributions.
The small city of Banyang may be able to temporarily supply supplies, but in the long run, it is by no means the base of Liu Wei and others, because Liu Wei abandoned this small city without hesitation after everyone supplied supplies, and the whole army went to the vast mountains more than 50 miles south of Linzi City to set up camp.
It was night, Liu Wei's camp.
The weather in June is unusually hot, fortunately the north is a dry climate, even if it is hot, there is no chest tightness in the south, at this time in the big tent Liu Wei is wearing a series of green clothes, on the table is a Weng just from the deep well of the wine has been cold, and Cheng Yu kneels opposite each other.
Liu Wei scooped 20,000 pieces of wine from the urn and gave Cheng Yu a bowl, then tilted his neck, and a bowl of cold wine went down to his stomach, instantly pressing down the heat in his chest and abdomen.
"Comfortable."
A bowl of wine in the stomach, can't help but burp, this era because the brewing technology is still in the primitive means, is to use more fruit as raw materials, the wine brewed also contains a faint fruity taste, as for the alcohol content is also very low, and the beer of later generations is basically the same, so it is not too much to drink water.
Of course, this is not to say that there is no higher alcohol in this era, but the technology and raw materials for brewing high-grade wine are also more complex, and they are basically in the hands of the imperial court, in short, it is exclusively for the royal family, and most people don't want to think about it.
"Bu Ji is worthy of being the old department of Zhang Jiao's thief Dao, and this hand is clever. Although the leaders of the Yellow Turban Party are the leaders of one side and are above the generals, Bu Ji is a generous commander after all, so he wantonly divides the generals of the leaders, one gathers the hearts of the people, and the other divides the Yellow Turban Party, which is really killing two birds with one stone. ”
Cheng Yu drank all the wine in the bowl, but praised Bu Jidao, but the sneer on the corner of his mouth said it all.
"Speaking of which, Bu Ji intends to divide the Yellow Turban Yu Party, which can be regarded as a great favor for us." A hint of cunning flashed in Liu Wei's dark eyes, and he smiled slightly: "Come and don't be rude, how about we also give Bu Ji a big gift?" ”
"Huh!?" Cheng Yu's face was stunned, but he knew it in his heart after a moment of silence, and said lightly: "This plan is very good, if so, who is Your Highness competent to do?" ”
"None of our military personnel are suitable." Liu Wei smiled and said, "But since you go to Linzi City to join the Yellow Turban Thief Party, you must need someone who is familiar with the behavior and style of the Yellow Turban Remnant Party and is clever!" ”
Cheng Yu looked at Liu Wei's confident appearance, stroked his beard lightly, and said with a smile: "Your Highness must have a candidate in his chest, I don't know who it is?" ”
"Lone knows that he can't hide it from Zhongde." Liu Wei smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "This task is handed over to Zhang Shiping's buddies, what does Zhongde think?" ”
A few days ago, after the secret investigation of the embroidered clothes, the traces of the horse dealer Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were found, and Liu Wei ordered to send someone to train the two to find them.
When they came to Banyang City and saw Liu Wei, they knew that the King of Hongnong of the Han Dynasty wanted to trade horses with them, which was to put their hearts in their stomachs, and immediately the two patted their chests and promised, they didn't dare to say anything else, but as long as they had money, they could get them no matter how many war horses, and they would get a twenty percent discount.
Liu Wei saw that Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were bold people and did not ink, and immediately said that a thousand war horses were traded according to the market price, and they would never treat the two of them badly, but the way and place of the horses were delivered were a little confusing to the two, but the two of them have always been delicate and only care about business, and everything else is no longer in their concern.
Later, through chatting, Liu Wei accidentally learned that most of Su and Zhang's guards used to be Yellow Turban thieves, and later followed the two for various reasons, but he didn't care at the time, but now Liu Wei suddenly remembered these people.
。。。。。。。。。
The night is vast, although Linzi City is the seat of Qingzhou governance, the famous rich city in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, but first suffered a ransack after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but did not wait for the recovery of vitality, followed by the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe's rampant conquest, and then the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Yu Party army settled, once again looted a group of rich households, and so on, so far the vitality of the greatly injured Linzi City is not as good as before.
However, even so, Linzi City is still one of the best cities in Qingzhou County, except for Beihaicheng, and the rich households in the rest of the cities have basically died, and the poor people in the city can't even eat, so naturally there is no oil and water.
At this time, the chickens and dogs in Linzi City jumped, since the Yellow Turban Thieves Party settled in the city, the people in the city have come to a hard time, the food and property at home have been plundered, not to mention, but whoever is a girl is good-looking, it can be regarded as bad luck, often dragged out by the thieves, more than a dozen people take turns, and finally the innocent girl is defiled to death.
Although there is a ban from the upper leaders, but the military discipline of the Yellow Turban Thieves is notoriously corrupt, how can it be stopped? The upper-level leaders also knew about this matter, and simply turned a blind eye, as long as it was not on the street, they still went, so that every night fell, the dark corners of the city staged a tragic scene.
Through the dark night, several extremely clever men touched the city wall, looked up at the sleepy night turban thieves stationed in the city, sneered in their hearts, and then rushed up to the city wall with the help of ropes like apes.
Every time the righteous slaughter dogs, these lean men are Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping's guards, the first one is named Guan Cheng, once a small force for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thieves, gathering more than 200 people, but in this era of the weak and the strong, especially in the thief's den where there is no order at all, it is inevitable to be annexed, when he was seriously injured, he was rescued by Zhang Shiping and survived, and since then he has sold his life to Zhang Shiping, loyal.
When he learned that he needed to go to Linzi City to fight against the Yellow Turban Thieves, he did not hesitate to respond, and the men who followed him were personally selected by him.
The big village where the leaders of all parties are stationed in the city, Guan Cheng and the others chose the dark alleys to shuttle after entering the city, but in the end, when they wanted to enter a big tent, they were discovered.
"Stop, what are you waiting for?" Several thieves dressed in cloth and armed with rusty spears stopped them, but Guan Cheng felt a strong killing intent from them, these people were definitely fierce soldiers who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood.
However, although he was cautious in his heart, his face remained silent, and he said in a deep voice: "I am tired of informing the big chief, so the envoy of Que Xuan came to visit the big chief." ”
"Que Xuan?" The thief at the head of the army looked surprised, but obviously he also knew Que Xuan's name, but it seemed that the subordinates took Que Xuan in their eyes, and said coldly: "What kind of person is the leader of my family, how can he have an old relationship with Que Xuan?" Get out of here, or the spear in Lao Tzu's hand won't know you! ”
Guan Cheng felt a pang in his heart, pretending to be Que Xuan's envoy was a decision they made after repeated discussions, but they didn't know that in fact, Que Xuan was just a little minions who were not in the stream in the eyes of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Yu Party, in fact, it was right to think the other way around, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no place in Qingzhou, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to Yinfeng Mountain to fall into the grass.
However, at this moment, although Guan Cheng didn't know the reason, his face sank and he scolded: "The little minion in front of the tent dares to stop Lao Tzu, aren't you afraid of missing the big boss of your family?" If you delay your business, how many heads do you have enough to cut off? Don't go and report the big boss yet! ”
"You~" The little minions led by him had murderous intent in his eyes, staring at Guan Cheng and his party, but seeing that Guan Cheng just looked at him indifferently, he took a deep breath, and suddenly looked back and said to the person behind him: "Report to the big leader!" ”
Looking back, Guan Cheng said with a calm expression: "If you dare to lie to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will skin you and swallow you alive!" ”
Guan Cheng glanced at this person lightly, and didn't pay attention to it at all, and after a while, he saw the person who reported it hurriedly came out of the big tent and said a few words to the little leader, who put away the spear in his hand and said to Guan Cheng angrily: "Go in." ”
Guan Hai, a famous figure in history, a ruthless man who fought with Guan Yu in the early days for dozens of rounds in history, in fact, this person followed Zhang Jiao to revolt very early, and Bu Ji can be regarded as a contemporary figure, but because he is rude and not good at observing words and feelings, so when Zhang Jiao was alive, he was always just a small leader.
After the Yellow Turban Thieves were suppressed by the imperial court, Zhang Jiao also died of illness, and the Yellow Turban Thieves who had swept most of the world also fell apart, and most of the remaining parties retreated to Qingzhou, but at this time, Guan Hai began to emerge in the Yellow Turban forces in Qingzhou with his fierce and strong martial arts, and in just a few years, he developed from a small leader to one of the forces of more than 100,000 people in the city.
However, if there is no accident, this person is afraid that he can become the most powerful Yellow Turban force in Qingzhou County, after all, this person has developed to more than 300,000 horses in history, and he has also led troops to plunder Kong Rong's Beihai County, if it is not for Liu Bei to rescue, give Guan Hai a few more years, it is really possible to completely occupy Qingzhou.
It's just that with Liu Wei crossing over, the wheel of history has gradually begun to deviate, at this time Guan Hai is quite irritable, he doesn't remember the old feelings, and blatantly divides his subordinates, basically they are on par with his throne, so obviously divided into his forces, if you can't see it, he is a fool.
It's just that the power is not as good as others, even if you can see it, what can you do, and who hasn't seen the leaders of the Yellow Turbans in the city?
At this time, his own soldiers suddenly ran in and told him that Que Xuan sent a messenger to meet him, he never took Que Xuan in his eyes at all, and he didn't want to see him, but he suddenly thought that Que Xuan had long been far away from Qingzhou, and he sent someone to come at this time.
When Guan Cheng and the others entered the big tent, they saw that Guan Hai was eating wine naked, and the spilled wine wet the clusters of dense black hair on his chest, Guan Cheng's expression was cold when he saw this, in this era of valuing etiquette, this kind of acting is tantamount to humiliating people.
After he came in, his expression was cold, and he wanted to turn around and brush his sleeves away.
"Stop!" A thunderous roar suddenly sounded in the tent, Guan Hai stood up, and said with a cruel smile on his face: "When I think I am the leader's camp, you can come if you want, and you can leave if you want?" ”
"Hmph~" Guan Cheng was not afraid, snorted coldly, and sneered: "We should all ask the big leader Guan is the hero of the world, so the party came to discuss major matters with the big leader, and now the big leader is so disrespectful, and if he says a disrespectful word, the king of my family is really blinded by lard." ”
"What a guts!" Guan Hai's big bell-like eyes showed a hint of appreciation, but then he said calmly: "Tell me about your intentions, it is in line with Lao Tzu's appetite, naturally it is a guest of honor, and if it is not in line with Lao Tzu's appetite, then you can only chop it up and throw it out to feed the dog." ”
"What is there to fear from death? If you are afraid of death, you will not come to this Linzi City. Guan Cheng knelt on the ground with his own care, picked up the leg of mutton on the table and gnawed it fiercely, before he said fiercely: "Our big boss intends to discuss a big matter with the big leader, but I don't know if the big boss dares to do it or not!" ”
"Hehe, the method of agitation is useless against this leader!" Guan Hai sneered: "Don't beat around the bush, get straight to the point." ”
"Jiao He died, Linzi City became an ownerless city, most of the major forces in Qingzhou have gathered here recently, and if they want to share a piece of benefits, the big leader is no exception, right?" Guan Cheng wiped the oil stains on the corner of his mouth, put down the leg of mutton, and looked at Guan Hai and said slowly.
"Nonsense, Linzi City is rich and known to the world, not only us, I'm afraid that the princes from all over the world also want to get a piece of the pie, but they don't have a chance."
"Let's not talk about the official army for the time being, but I'll wait for the Yellow Turban forces." Guan Cheng showed a look of memory on his face, and said: "Since General Tiangong died of illness, the big leader began to gain a foothold in Qingzhou, and then annexed the surrounding forces, and gradually became one of the largest forces in Qingzhou, but unfortunately, it is only one of them, but there is also the department of the commander of the Great Qu of Buji..."
"You're looking for death!" Guan Hai was poked in the foot by Guan Cheng, his expression was fierce, his eyes were full of murder, and he said in a calm tone.
