In September of the first year of Taiping, an astonishing piece of news spread throughout the Great Zhou.

Liu Cheng, who had just been appointed as King Kang a month ago, took a month to become the ruler of Qingzhou.

As soon as this news came out, the whole world was shaken.

And as the details of Liu Cheng's entry into Qingzhou became known, the shock of the people of the world not only did not subside, but deepened.

Because people found that Liu Cheng's entry into Qingzhou this time was not just as simple as destroying the Yellow Turban, when he dealt with the Yellow Turban, he also had to face the three forces of Tang Minghan and Han.

It was in this situation that Liu Cheng not only took down the Yellow Turban with one hand, but also wiped out the 150,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty marching into Qingzhou with his backhand.

It was precisely because Liu Cheng won the Yellow Turban in the battle of Qinghai Port and wiped out the 150,000 army of the Ming Dynasty that the Tang army and the Han army withdrew from Qingzhou within the next two days, and the Qingzhou border was completely handed over to Liu Cheng.

Single-handedly fighting against the four most powerful forces on the face of the Great Zhou Ming at the same time, the horror of Liu Cheng's strength is breathtaking.

……

Sili, Luoyang, Caofu.

"In less than a month, King Kang won Qingzhou with one enemy and four enemies, and this strength can be called terrifying."

Hearing the news of Liu Cheng's entry into Qingzhou, Cao An's face couldn't help but smile.

Liu Cheng's entry into the master not only attracted the attention of those martial soul forces, but also created a better development environment for Cao An at this time.

What's more important is that with such a powerful ally as Liu Cheng, they will be much easier in the follow-up strategic layout, but Xun Yu on the side of Cao An has been frowning at this time.

"Wen Ruo? What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with King Kang's side? ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "No, King Kang's side is not a big problem, the Tang Han and Ming sides have already made a move, and after the defeat of the Ming army, the Tang and Han armies quickly withdrew, from this point of view, they should not have planned to kill King Kang at this time."

Therefore, at present, the situation on King Kang's side can be said to be stable, at least in the absence of variables, no one will act rashly.

After all, judging from the strength shown by King Kang, it is not easy to take him down, and he has his back to the sea, and he can calmly retreat once the situation is not good.

The cost is large, the achievements are small, and at present, Qingzhou should not make any waves.

At least, until no one does that thing, Qingzhou will be stable. ”

"Then what are you doing with a sad face?"

"Lord, don't you really know what I'm worried about? Your appointment with them is almost up......"

Before Xun Yu finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Cao An: "You don't have to worry about this, it's okay, it's just to return to them what doesn't belong to me, there will be nothing, but don't slack off what you promised King Kang, since King Kang has already taken Qingzhou, you should immediately prepare and send him what you promised him." ”

Xun Yu opened his mouth, and in the end he could only nod yes, and then went down to send away the fragments of Wang Fugui's martial spirit.

It wasn't until Xun Yu left that Cao An's face collapsed slightly, and it could be seen that he didn't care about that thing as he appeared.

But despite the fear in his heart, since he had already agreed, Cao An would not regret it at this time, let alone show fear in front of Xun Yu.

This is not a means of Cao An's royal majesty, but he knows very well that once he shows fear, it is very difficult to say what Xun Yu will do.

"Anyway, sooner or later, you have to face it."

Murmuring softly, Cao An exhaled, threw out all kinds of complicated thoughts, and continued to calm down and continue to write.

…………

Xuzhou, Ming Imperial Palace!

As an actual participant in the Battle of Qingzhou, the Ming side knew the outcome of the Qingzhou Battlefield earlier than anyone else.

Of course, this is not a good experience, after all, they paid 150,000 elite soldiers, several first-class generals, and Xu Da, the first general of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Xu Da is not dead yet, the battle of Qinghai Port is over after Zhang Mancheng's arrival, and Xu Da was finally captured by Ying Shengnan in that battle.

Xu Da is still alive, so he gives hope to Daming's side.

Not long ago, Daming sent someone to contact Liu Cheng and said that he wanted to redeem Xu Da.

It's just that it's not the right time for the people of the Ming Dynasty to go, when they passed, Liu Cheng had just taken Qingzhou, and he didn't have much effort to deal with the people of the Ming Dynasty, and after being hung out for several days, someone met the people sent by the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that when he met with the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Cheng obviously knew what the other party was here for.

Aren't you going to redeem people? No problem, as long as you can afford it.

Liu Cheng put forward several conditions on the spot, and among those conditions, the first few were nothing more than writing money and food, but the last one was very different.

Liu Cheng directly asked for people, and what he wanted was not ordinary people, but artillery technical talents under the command of Daming.

The first few requirements are easy to say, but in the last one, Da Ming is a little hesitant.

You must know that Da Ming itself is not as good as a few neighbors on their side in terms of heritage, although the one in his south is worse than them in terms of heritage, but he can't stand up to the fact that there is a Western Chu overlord.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the weakest force along the coast, and it is almost the same level as the previous Yellow Turban.

It is precisely for this reason that Daming attaches great importance to firearms, and even the hope of their rise among firearms.

In this case, Liu Cheng asked their firearms experts, and they were naturally reluctant to give it.

But if they don't give it, their first general Xu Da is in the hands of others, and it is not appropriate to save him if he dies, so it is more difficult.

For this matter, the Ming Palace discussed it for several days, but no result was discussed.

However, in the end, the Ming Emperor, who had been listening for a few days, still decided to redeem Xu Da, of course, at this time, the Ming Emperor actually had another layer of calculation, he knew that Liu Cheng had such an artillery as the [Shenwei Invincible General], and if there was such an artillery, it would prove that they had mastered the technology of making artillery or were researching it.

In this case, Liu Cheng asked them for two purposes, the first was a technical blockade, so that they could not make artillery, or they wanted to pull their people into artillery research.

No matter which of these two possibilities is an opportunity for Emperor Ming.

If you use it well, you may be able to master the technology of artillery.

So the Ming Emperor finally ransomed people, and at the same time as the Ming Emperor ransomed people, the two organizations under his command, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, also began to operate......
