Chapter 33: The Emperor Collapses
"Bastard, incompetent general, it's not a pity to die, even if Chen Qiong doesn't kill him, he will also go to the court to punish his defeated soldiers and the crime of corruption!" When Huang Wan heard the news of Ge Pi's defeat, he was furious.
"Lord Zhou Mu, and the battle report sent by Chen Qiong, the commander of the Runan Cavalry!" Seeing that Huang Wan was angry, the envoy couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and said cautiously.
"Read!" Huang Wan frowned and asked.
"Lord Yuzhou, after the criminal general Chen Qiong killed Bao Hong in Luyuan, he led the troops out of the city to fight for thieves the next day, and before he could rush to Gebei, he was defeated. Therefore, set up an ambush on the spot, broke the Yellow Turban thieves more than 10,000, beheaded nearly 10,000, the thief Liu Shi escaped in the chaotic army, it is not enough to be troubled, the sin will gather the rout, and want to fight to the death with the giant bandit Shi Guang, but when Bao Hong's army was defeated, the siege equipment was destroyed by the thief army, and the thief army obtained grain, grass, ordnance, and horses were very numerous. The sin general personally led the soldiers to attack only with flesh and blood, suffered many wounds, and now temporarily retreated, more than ten miles away from Gepi to set up camp, once there is a fighter, will go all out to break the thief, in order to calm the bandits in Yuzhou. â
"In this way, although this Chen Qiong killed Bao Hong, it can be regarded as stabilizing the battle situation of Gebei, turning the tide of the tide, and the official army has not achieved much success in the long-term battle of the Yellow Turban, but this Chen Qiong has won again and again, first beheading Baijue, and then breaking Liu Shi." Huang Wan pondered for a moment, looked at the middle-aged scribe next to him who had been silent, and said, "According to Wenjing, what should I do with Chen Qiong?" â
"Lord Governor, the top priority should be to focus on the bandits in Yuzhou. If the remnants of the Yellow Turban are not equal, the benevolent government has to be implemented. Bao Hong first openly solicited bribes, and then for his own selfish desires, he wanted to kill meritorious generals, his reputation was ruined, and his death was not a pity. I have sent people to Runan, Luyuan inquired, Chen Qiong is quite a meritorious person, has a way of governing the army, and is very loved by the soldiers, if Chen Qiong is disposed of at this time, it may be difficult to convince the public, and even cause a mutiny. And Chen Qiong was recommended by Liu Yi, the Taishou of Runan, Liu Yi is known as a virtuous person, and Endebu is in all directions. If this person is used by the state pastor, with his ability to surpass Bao Hong more than ten times, he will not worry about the injustice of the yellow turban in Yuzhou. â
"Well, what you say is reasonable, but although this Chen Qiong is conclusive, but the garrison near Gepi is not without the suspicion of raising thieves and self-respect." Huang Wan snorted coldly, it was not impossible to see Chen Qiong's tricks at all, but at the moment, there was a lack of available people in Yuzhou, and he didn't have the time to find an army that could pacify Shi Guang, since Chen Qiong still knew the general situation, he could go out of the city immediately after killing Bao Hong, and save the battle, otherwise he would have to spend some money. Huang Wan pondered that after he had eliminated Shi Guang, he would reduce Chen Qiong's military power, but an eight-hundred-mile urgent secret letter from Luoyang disrupted all his deployments: Emperor Ling!
Chen Qiong is far away in Runan, and has only been in this world for two months, so he has no intuitive concept of Emperor Han Ling, and he doesn't know that Emperor Han Ling hangs up so many months earlier than history. I only know that he is a ridiculous * lewd emperor, a person who can figure out how the dog and the palace maid do that, and the feat of creating a zĂ o to let an adult palace maid wear open crotch pants, you know how dull it is with your ass.
Emperor Ling of Han left west, leaving only two young children. The lord and young ministers are strong, and the ten permanent servants have been in control of the court for a long time, which has aroused the anger of the heavens and the resentment. The hundred officials of the imperial court have hated the eunuch dynasty to the core, even Chen Qiong, a person who has never been in contact with politics, can also feel that once the turbulent waves in Luoyang occur, it is enough to change the color of the world.
"Lord Duwei, a Yellow Turban soldier outside the camp is here to vote!" Chen Qiong was inspecting the soldiers in the camp, and the guards suddenly came loudly to report.
"Oh? I'm going to take a look. Chen Qiong said in a loud voice, it was the first time in this period of time that the Yellow Turban Army was willing to surrender.
Chen Qiong blew a sharp whistle, and a divine horse neighed on its head and galloped lightly, which was the blood of the return from injury. Treading blood is very humane, and Chen Qiong usually stocks it in the camp. Chen Qiong stepped on the blood, galloped for a while, and then arrived at the gate of the camp, only to see that the first person was seven feet long, with bronzed skin and a handsome face.
"I am Chen Qiong, and I am Liao Hua?" Chen Qiong stopped and said loudly.
"The sin will be Liaohua, I heard that Gongzi Qiong loves soldiers like sons, can fight well, and has the name of benevolence and righteousness, so he specially led the army to vote!" Liao Hua saw that Chen Qiong was so young, and after being surprised, he leaned down and bowed.
"Haha, please get up. I have settled in Luyuan and recruited displaced people, hoping that one day the hungry will be fed and the displaced will have a place to stay. Then I can let a Yellow Turban Army abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and you can lead the army to vote, which shows that my efforts have not been in vain. Chen Qiong dismounted and helped Liao Hua up, "Come, let's go inside and talk, as long as you don't violate military discipline in the future, your subordinates will be my subordinates, and they will all be treated equally. â
"Thank you for your love, dare not die for your lord!" Liao Hua looked excited, and said excitedly in his heart.
"There's really something to ask you, I don't know what you think of Ge Pi Shiguang?" Chen Qiong asked.
"The lord, Shi Guang is brave in battle, but he is suspicious by nature, the lord even broke the white jue, Liu Shi two, the prestige is great, Shi Guang will not act rashly before he finds out the lord's treasure, and he will defend the county seat." Liao Hua arched his hand and said.
"Stick to the county seat? That's tricky. Chen Qiong frowned, at this time, the emperor Lao'er was dead, and the lord was weak and the minister was strong. The forces of all parties in Luoyang are pouring into each other, the scholars and the eunuch group have become water and fire, the imperial court at this time has no energy to take care of the place, and Chen Qiong does not need to raise thieves to respect himself, but the Yellow Turban Army is shrinking in the city of Gepi County, even if the herdsmen of Yuzhou rushed to make some siege equipment during this time, Chen Qiong does not want to take the people in his hands to pile them up for the time being, and the soldiers who defend the city are twice as many as him.
"However, the last general is expected to be within a month, and Shi Guang will definitely lead his troops out of the city and plunder everywhere." Liao Hua said with a slight smile.
"Really? Why are you so sure? Chen Qiong's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked.
"Shi Guang gathered more than 100,000 people, more than 20,000 soldiers who could fight, and there were many people, but the daily consumption of grain and grass was also amazing. Liao Hua said.
Ni Mei, yes, Chen Qiong patted his thigh, as a modern person, it seems that he has not fully integrated into this society, or is not a qualified general, he even forgot this most basic element, this era is extremely short of food, more than 100,000 people, even if there are only more than 20,000 soldiers who can fight, the rations are larger, and the others are starving, but if they don't accept this batch of autumn grain, they will never be able to survive this winter.
"Good, as long as the Yellow Turban rebels go out of the city, I have a way to deal with it." Chen Qiong stroked her palms and laughed.
