Chapter 24: Zhao Ji Goes Northward, Liu Qing Draws Out His Salary(1/2)

Gongsun Zan stared at these words and forgot about them for a long time.

The Qiang rebelled and invaded Chang'an. Now Zhang Gong's envoy arrived, and Xuande brought a letter predicting Wuhuan's rebellion.

This is not the kind of prediction that is made at random, but a prediction that is put into practice.

Liu Bei was asked to lead his troops north to prevent the Wuhuan rebellion. The key point was that as soon as Wuhuan rebelled, Liu Bei actually arrived.

If Wuhuan rebels and Gongsun Zan sends out his generals, and waits for reinforcements to arrive, Zhang Chun brothers and Qiu Liju may have captured several counties.

"Xuande, how many troops and horses have you brought?" Gongsun Zan suddenly asked.

"There are only four hundred troops in our own army, but they have been fighting against the Yellow Turbans, and with the forced training of my second and third brothers, they are all well-trained soldiers who are good at fighting." Liu Bei said.

Gongsun Zan looked at Liu Bei with expectation in his eyes and said: "Although Xuande's troops are not large, they are still a rare force. I want to lead the army to put down the rebellion. Can Xuande help me?"

Liu Bei smiled and immediately stood up and held his hands, "What did my brother say? Bei came here for this very reason. The Han Dynasty is declining and there are internal and external troubles. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, how can I just sit back and watch!"

Gongsun Zan looked at Liu Bei blankly and went to Jizhou. Xuande wanted to be more cheerful. At least, he would not easily say that he was a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

"Okay! I will give you another thousand troops and horses. You and I will divide our troops into two groups and rush to support the Tuyin of Youbeiping!"

Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to stand up, and they all raised their hands: "Bei, you must accept the order and give your brother a helping hand!"



After Liu Qing's letter was delivered to Changshan County, Tian Feng personally selected a troop of soldiers and horses to greet his mistress Cai Yan, led by Zhu Ling, and went to Chenliuyu County to greet her.

Zhu Ling took the order and went south, stayed overnight in Fanyang, and reunited with his mother and younger brother for a night. Now, Zhu Ling is the thief Cao Tu of Changshan County, and is in charge of the county's anti-theft and anti-theft affairs. It can be regarded as a full-time job, in the words of the county magistrate Che Ben.

That’s it—

"I knew this kid Ling'er had a lot of potential! Mr. Liu Qing is really an extraordinary person! Che's vision is as vicious as ever!"

Mother Zhu was naturally happy and it was hard to express in words.

Zhu Ling also had an idea. After taking his mistress back, he took his mother and younger brother back to live with the Yuan family in Changshan.

Before arriving in Yuxian County, Zhu Ling had already ordered people to report to Yuxian County and deliver Tian Feng's handwritten letter to the lord's house in Yuxian County.

After seeing the letter, Cai Yan ordered people to pack the necessary items. Zhu Ling arrived in Yuxian County. After meeting his mistress, Cai Yan went to say hello and farewell to his father. According to his husband's wishes, he hoped to bring Cai Yong and his family together.

I am going to Changshan, so I have to invite one or two.

However, Cai Yan felt that there was little chance of Cai Yong agreeing because he had opened another school.

In the side room of the mansion, children from various families in Yuxian County are studying here. In addition, there are also some students who come from far away because of their fame. One of them, when he took Cai's mother and Cai Nu back to Yuxian County half a month ago, he must follow him.

Gu Yong and Gu Yuan sighed when they came.

This person can be said to be Cai Yong's direct disciple. During the six years when Cai Yong lived in Wu County, Gu Yong studied piano art and calligraphy with him since he was a child. Because of his quick thinking and calm mind, Gu Yong excelled in his studies and piano skills.

He was diligent and highly valued by Cai Yong.

Gu Yong's name was given to him by Cai Yong, and he has the same name as the master (same pronunciation). It can be said to be a great honor, and because he was often praised by his teacher, he took the character "tan".

As soon as Cai Yan appeared, she attracted the attention of every student. The teacher's daughter already had the aura of a senior sister, and Cai Yan was the one with the best appearance and knowledge. Most people could only

Looking up at this dazzling existence, the talented Gu Yong looked up with curiosity.

The person my junior sister married must be such an amazing talent.

When Cai Yong saw his daughter coming, he left the school and went to greet her.

"I've met my father!"

"Why are you looking for your daughter?" Cai Yong asked.

"My husband has sent someone to pick him up. He also said that he is worried about his father staying in Yu County. He wants his daughter to ask if the family can move to Changshan."

Cai Yong asked doubtfully: "Wouldn't the north be more chaotic? At present, all the tribes in the north are attacking the Han Dynasty. Shouldn't it be slow down for my daughter to go north?"

"My husband said that the rebellion in Yanmen has subsided, not to mention that my daughter can rest assured that my husband is here."

"Look, you have a long-term husband and a short-term husband. You marry someone else's wife and don't listen to your father's words, right?" Cai Yong joked.

"Father, don't make fun of your daughter. My husband is also considering the long term. I hope my father will consider it."

Cai Yong turned around and looked at more than a dozen students and sighed: "If I leave, what will happen to these students? The Han Dynasty is declining, traitors are in power, and the country's hope depends on future generations. How can I abandon them?"

Cai Yan understood that what his father said couldn't be more clear. It was a rejection.

"Father, in that case, I will order Li Shui to stay in Yu County so that he can take care of you."

Cai Yong nodded and agreed. He also liked Li Shui. "Go and say goodbye to your mother and Zhenji."

After saying that, Cai Yong went back to the school in the side room.

Looking at Cai Yong's figure, Cai Yan thought to himself: Husband, it seems that Yan can't call his father.

In addition, it won't be long before you can meet your husband, and you no longer have to think about it at night or day.



"My lord, the city ahead is where the royal court of the southern Xiongnu is located. However, according to the governor, all the Xiongnu tribes have dispersed with Meiji to the Zhenlin area."

Zhao Yun looked at the map provided by Du Zan. The location of the Southern Xiongnu royal court and the five major tribes were marked on the top.

"So I mobilized six battalions of soldiers and horses. With them here, we don't need to detour one by one."

"My lord, I know the enemy is ahead of me, I admire you so much!" Zhao Yun said.

Zilong, this should be called proper deployment!

Liu Qing drove his horse out and rushed to the rear army formation, shouting at the same time: "Soldiers! In front of us are the Southern Xiongnu tribes. They attacked our Han city and killed our Han soldiers and civilians. Today, we ransacked their homes.

Make them homeless!”

"Ho! Roar!" all the generals roared in unison.

"My big man has a broad mind and has accepted the Southern Xiongnu into his fold. These thieves are ungrateful and take advantage of the situation. In today's battle, I want you to take back everything the big man has given them!"

"Transmit the order! Use the battalion as a unit to attack all Xiongnu tribes. Any soldiers who resist will be killed without mercy. Anyone who surrenders to the Han will be taken as prisoners. They will be confiscated together with grain, property, cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock and transported to Shanan County!

Remember, our Han army is not a barbaric army and we are not allowed to kill at will! Those who disobey orders will be killed!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The Han army officers and men all responded passionately.

"Zilong, you decide how to divide the army!" Liu Qing handed over the division of labor to Zhao Yun, and then came to Guo Jia's side.

"My lord, you can order each battalion to find the families of the leaders of each tribe and use them as hostages to make the enemy surrender to the enemy." Guo Jiadao.

At first, Liu Qing also thought about this issue, but later he rejected it.

What kind of soldier are you talking about someone's family? You might as well open up the situation and wipe out the entire family!

Of course, it is not the kind that kills people all at once, but separates them and completely integrates them into the Han Dynasty. After a generation or two, people will remember that the Xiongnu is just a title.

"I am not just taking the Xiongnu nobles as hostages, but the entire southern Xiongnu as hostages. Let's see if those white-eyed wolves will fight or surrender. If they want to fight, I would ask them who they want to fight for. Without the clan, there will be no

How can we fight for a home with no roots?"

"I originally wanted to attack the Xiongnu as a bait to lure the Xiongnu back to fight. I never thought that my lord has such a big appetite and wants to eat the entire southern Huns. Not only does my lord have a broad mind, he also has an astonishingly large belly!" Guo Jia said with a smile!

.

Liu Qing looked at Zhao Yun's busy figure distributing orders, raised his voice and said coldly: "From the moment the Xiongnu decided to rebel against the Han, there was no need for them to exist!"

The threat was so great and the tone was so cold that Qian Ying on the side couldn't help but look at Liu Qing. She had no doubt that Liu Qing raised his voice when he spoke, just for her to hear.

This Yanmen governor, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, did not lead troops to rescue the Han hinterland when hundreds of thousands of foreign troops came to Sili. Instead, he chose to go around the back and first eliminated the Wuyuan governor who had colluded with Xianbei, completely sealing the country.

After killing the retreat route of the Xianbei army, they dug deep into the cauldron and marched into the hinterland of the Southern Huns, threatening to destroy the entire Southern Huns.

As a result, when the armies of the two tribes in front hear the news, their morale will inevitably be shaken, and they may even mutiny.

And Liu Qing's thunderous methods seemed to be secretly warning her that cooperation with Xianbei was actually a gift.

"Princess Qian Ying, why don't you look very good? Are you feeling unwell?" Liu Qing asked with concern.

"It doesn't matter, the southern Xiongnu royal court is just ahead. It's time for the prince to march in!" Qian Ying said absentmindedly.

After this incident, Zhao Yun also divided his troops. Each battalion of soldiers and horses performed their duties. Two thousand Han troops were more than enough for one large clan.

Liu Qing led his troops and attacked the royal court of the Southern Huns.

Unsurprisingly, there are still guards in the royal court, numbering about two thousand. However, judging from the appearance of the other party, their fighting ability is not very good. Many of them are gray-bearded men. Not only do they have no armor, but they also have few weapons. They are prepared.

It's quite sufficient. They probably noticed it from the moment Liu Qing "broke the law".

"The Southern Xiongnu rebelled against the Han Dynasty and attacked the Han Dynasty. Today, I want to raze this place to the ground. Anyone who dares to stand in my way will be killed without mercy!" Liu Qing shouted towards the opponent's army, "If you abandon your troops and surrender, you will survive. If you resist,

Whoever, die!"

The Huns soldiers looked at each other speechlessly, but no one retreated.

These were probably old soldiers of the Huns who refused to surrender. Liu Qing understood, but was not moved. Although the spirit of defending to the death was worthy of respect, he had no mercy because they were enemies.

The way to respect them is to fulfill their spirit and let them become the last batch of people to fight for the Southern Xiongnu, because after that, there will be no Southern Xiongnu.

Liu Qing glanced at Zhao Yun calmly, and silently issued the order to attack.
