Liu Qing's attitude made Guo Yan feel relieved. This time, he was ahead of the Wang family.

Although that guy Wang Yun went to Yanmen first.

"I wonder if you think Dong Zhoumu can successfully win over Bingzhou?" Guo Yan tried again. What he felt was naturally different from what Liu Qing said.

Liu Qing sighed, "Since it is His Majesty's order, we must obey it. However, Yanmen today is quite special. It has a large population and is quite complicated. As the prefect of a county, I naturally protect this place."

Prosperity is hard to come by.”

Guo Jian understood the implication from Liu Qing's words. It was okay to accept Dong Zhuo as the prefectural pastor, but Dong Zhuo could not interfere too much in Yanmen County.

Guo Yao smiled and said: "Young Master plans for the people and has good intentions. Dong Zhoumu should also understand this truth."

"This is the best." Liu Qing said without any politeness.

Guo Mian understood that Liu Qing's position was clear.

The decline of the Han Dynasty was due to the corruption of the imperial court and the tyranny of the local people. Liu Qing's actions in Yanmen, such as reclamation, trade, and mining, made Yanmen County, which was originally a backwater, active again. Naturally, these things will not be handed over easily.

.

"My lord, Zang Min, the governor of Taiyuan, is very knowledgeable and ambitious. He has always been determined to improve people's livelihood. The Yellow Turban incident has not affected Taiyuan County in the slightest. I think that your idea of ​​governing the state must have won the heart of Governor Zang. You can go there."

Visit." Guo Mian suggested.

Liu Qing also heard Xun Yu introduce Zang Min to him. He was very well-known in the scholar circle. During the reign of Emperor Huan, he was already engaged in Xuzhou. After Liu Hong succeeded to the throne, he also served as the governor of Wu County, the governor of Yangzhou, and as an envoy.

He was a lieutenant of the Xiongnu, a lieutenant of Changshui, a prime minister of Zhongshan, and later a governor of Taiyuan. He had both talent and virtue, both civil and military skills, and his resume can be said to be extremely beautiful.

If it weren't for his advanced age, Liu Qing would definitely try to win over him.

"That's what I have in mind. If Brother Guo is free, you can go with us!"

Guo Jian shook his head, "Young Master has a distinguished status, how dare you go with him? To be honest, I plan to go to Luoyang."

Liu Qing knew in his heart that Guo Jian went to Luoyang for his new official position, to meet his uncle Guo Zun and to make friends with the high officials in the court.

I don’t know if Liu Hong is still alive now...

I hope things develop according to my expectations, otherwise Liu Hong will make a mistake and Luoyang will explode.

At this time, I didn't care, but Dong Zhuo might not be ready.

Liu Qing didn't say much. Although he intended to win over Guo Mian, his first visit was too obvious and would arouse people's alarm, which was not conducive to both. He casually chatted with Guo Mian about Taiyuan affairs and exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Zhu Dianwei said goodbye.

Next stop, Jinyang.

…

Liu Hong finally entered the city, Dongwu City in Qinghe Kingdom.

Yao Gong invited the best doctor in the county to examine Liu Hong's injuries. The arrow wound on his knee was not a big problem, because Zhao Yun handled it in time, so it would not be as serious as losing a leg. It was just an abdominal injury. Even if medicine was applied, the internal damage would not be serious.

It is difficult to treat and can easily leave root causes of disease.

At this time, Jian Shuo's Xiyuan Army and Ding Yuan's Zhi Jinwu both returned.

Although the battle with the Montenegrin Army achieved some "results", compared with Wang Fen's rebellion and Liu Hong's injury, it was something everyone had experienced.

The culprit Wang Fen is still missing.

Liu Hong was so angry that he almost broke his wound...

Guo Jia and Zhao Yun reluctantly followed them to Dongwu City. Cao Cao knew that these two people were Liu Qing's people. After several struggles, he secretly visited Guo Jia's residence.

First of all, I was confused as to why Mr. Liu Qing’s people appeared in Jizhou.

Secondly, I was shocked that they actually saved His Majesty.

Guo Jia effortlessly saw these two expressions in Cao Cao's eyes.

"Mr. Fengxiao, there is something that Cao Cao doesn't understand. Please...please tell me." Cao Cao seemed to hesitate.

"It's okay to say it, General Cao. Jia must tell you everything he knows." Guo Jia replied with a smile.

Cao Cao leaned down, lowered his voice, and asked: "Does the Young Master know about Wang Fen?"

Cao Cao had an intuition in his heart. He asked Xun You for advice on Wang Fen's matter.

With Guo Jia Lai to help?

Guo Jia said without thinking: "General Cao must be careful, how could my lord do such a rebellious thing? It is a coincidence that we appear here. The Black Mountain Army attacked Litao and then turned to attack your Majesty. Zhao Yun and I followed the Black Mountain Army

Came here."

Seeing Guo Jia's crisp and clear answer, most of Cao Cao's doubts disappeared.

"Where is the young master now?" Cao Cao asked.

"Of course my lord is in Yanmen, but I heard that Dong Zhuo was appointed as the shepherd of Bingzhou. My lord should go to Jinyang, Taiyuan to have an audience."

Speaking of Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao felt annoyed for no reason. When he was defeated by the Yellow Turban, he was still a meritorious minister, but Dong Zhuo was a guilty person.

He, Cao Cao, just wanted to get the land of a county, but he was unexpectedly recalled to the court.

However, Dong Zhuo unexpectedly went from committing meritorious deeds to winning his first meritorious service. He was also recommended by all the important ministers in the court and became the shepherd of Bingzhou.

Mr. Liu Qing had made great contributions to both the Pinghuangjin and Pingwai tribes, but as a result, he was only granted the title of Marquis, and his official position was actually lower than that of Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao is upset!

There are no doubts.

Guo Jia smiled and with one sentence, the doubts in Cao Cao's eyes disappeared.

"General Cao, how is the Black Mountain Army?"

Cao Cao didn't want to mention this at all, and said casually: "The Black Mountain Army should retreat at this time. They have suffered a lot in this battle."

Guo Jia estimated that the Black Mountain Army should retreat to the vicinity of Tangyang County.

"How is His Majesty's injury?"

After entering Dongwu City, Guo Jia never saw Liu Hong again.

"It's basically fine, but the penetrating wound in the abdomen is a bit troublesome. Although His Majesty clamors to return to Luoyang, it is really not suitable to travel at this time."

"Your Majesty's current stay in Luoyang..." Guo Jia pointed out with restraint.

Cao Cao's expression changed, as if he had thought of something. The atmosphere in Luoyang was suffocating before. He was in it, so he knew clearly that now that His Majesty is outside, some people might not be able to sit still.

No wonder His Majesty has such an urgent request to return to Luoyang. Obviously His Majesty himself knows it well.

"Mr. Fengxiao reminds me that I would like to suggest that your Majesty return to Luoyang as soon as possible."

Cao Cao sighed in his heart, Guo Jia was not in Luoyang, but he could clearly see the situation in Luoyang. There really were no mediocre people under Mr. Liu Qing.

Cao Cao suddenly remembered something...

If you finally meet the young master's staff, you should consult them.

"Mr. Fengxiao!" Cao Cao suddenly raised his hand and saluted: "Although Cao has the title of captain in Luoyang, his troops are limited and controlled by others. Sir, is there any way to transfer me away from Luoyang?"

"General Cao can take the initiative to ask for help and stay in Jizhou to capture Wang Fen."

"This..." Cao Cao hesitated. Wang Fen was his old friend and he didn't want to face him.

"This is just rhetoric!" Guo Jia added, "When Your Majesty returns to the court, there will be a huge earthquake in Luoyang. Wang Fen is the governor of a single state. How can he do such a rebellious thing? There must be someone behind this person!"

"Sir's words suddenly enlightened me. I'm going to ask for your orders!" Cao Cao suddenly stood up, then greeted Guo Jia, "Goodbye!"

Looking at Cao Cao's leaving figure, Guo Jia thought to himself: "My lord, my lord, everything is about to begin!"

…

Bingzhou, Jinyang.

Dong Min came from Liangzhou and brought news about Liangzhou.

The Qiang troops who surrendered to Dong were familiar with the people and places in Liangzhou, and Li Jue led them almost everywhere. However, the news was too important, and Dong Zhuo did not dare to communicate in letters, so Dong Min came with a message.

In Liangzhou today, Han Sui has withdrawn from Youfufeng and occupied Longxi County. Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou have also returned to Didao and other places in Huangzhong.

Zhang Wen was stationed in Chencang, while Fu Xie, the newly appointed governor of Hanyang County, stationed in Ji County to defend against the rebels.

Li Jue's Qiang army avoided Hanyang County and recruited Qiang people widely in the Dong Qiang area of ​​Weiwu County in Anding County to increase its momentum. With the help of Dong Zhuo's reputation, they recruited many heroic warriors.

"The mighty Zhang Ji and Wang Fang, who had heard about their brother for a long time, came to join his family. Guo Si, a native of Zhangye, had the same interests as General Li Jue and had a good relationship. Fan Chou, a native of Jincheng, was originally a military prince under Han Sui's command.

Knowing that my brother was defeated by Han Sui, especially

He traveled hundreds of miles from place to place to get along with him, and there were also local heroes Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, who all admired his brother and helped the army. They contributed a lot!" Dong Min recounted what he had gained during this period like a treasure trove, and Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this.

Stunned for a moment.

"So we have such a great reputation in Liangzhou!"

"Brother, Liangzhou people are not pragmatic and respect the strong. Your general's pay for the surrendering army has been widely publicized. Coupled with the news of the defeat of Han Sui and the official worship of the state pastor, my brother's name has been resounding throughout Liangzhou.

Prefecture, if Hanyang County is still in the hands of Fu Xie, Longxi County will definitely return to his brother!" Dong Min has obviously seen the world, and he speaks openly. In a short period of time, he has changed a lot.

Dong Zhuo's kind eyebrows spread wide and he was very happy, "How many soldiers and horses does our Xiliang army have now?"
