When Dong Zhuo heard this, he lost his mind for a moment. The young master actually came to visit him in person?

"Go! Pick out the best tea leaves harvested in the past few days, as well as the Huangtai wine brought from Liangzhou, to wash away the dust for the young master!"

The assistant obeyed the order and was secretly frightened, thinking that although the master was always generous, Huangtai wine would not be used to entertain guests.

Obviously the master values ​​​​the prefect of Yanmen very much.

Dong Zhuo went to the house to greet him personally. When Liu Qing saw Dong Zhuo, he was wearing an ordinary black brocade suit with a bulging belly, which showed that he lived a prosperous life.

Dong Zhuo was neither wearing official uniform nor wearing a seal, just like an ordinary guest.

Liu Qing smiled and held his hands in his hands: "Congratulations to General Dong on your promotion to Prefectural Shepherd. I came here to pay you a special visit."

Dong Zhuo was also full of courtesy, "Young master, I am honored to come here. Please come!"

Seeing Dong Zhuo being so respectful, Liu Qing felt a little more confident about this trip.

The hot tea is brewed and exudes a light fragrance.

"I wonder if the young master is here in person, what can I learn from you?"

"Hey, General Dong is now the governor of the state. I should call him Dong Shijun. Why should I come to see him for advice?"

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "How dare you, how dare you, in front of Zang Min, I dare to call you the envoy. The young master is the benefactor of Zhuo's life. Zhuo is today only because of the young master's guidance. We don't think we are virtuous people."

, but I still understand the laws of repaying kindness and repaying hatred!"

Dong Zhuo was really a straightforward person. He had no official airs and repaid the favor one by one. However, he had always been warlike and had no respect for human life. Otherwise, he would really be considered a malleable talent.

"Dong Shijun made a strong statement." Liu Qing replied in a nonchalant manner.

Dong Zhuo pretended to take a sip of tea, not knowing how it tasted. He was thinking about how to test Mr. Liu Qing. Why don't he ask for advice first?

"Sir, have you ever heard of the incident in Jizhou?" Dong Zhuo asked.

The incident in Jizhou happened last time. Now that Liu Hong has returned to Luoyang, this incident has spread to most of the world.

Liu Qing nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Young Master is smart, but I don't know how to deal with this matter?"

Liu Qing looked at the tea cup, the tea leaves were floating, and he slowly said: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion is a civil uprising, and Wang Fen's Rebellion is an official uprising. Both the officials and the people will be uprising, and Luoyang will be in chaos!"

Luoyang is about to be in chaos? When Dong Zhuo heard this, his heart tightened for no reason.

"I also heard that Bu Dugen has returned to the grassland and is now raising troops. In the north of Bingzhou, there may be no peace again. Please be prepared." Liu Qing sent out another message, but now Xianbei is in

It was not Bu Dugen who raised the troops, but Qian Ying.

Dong Zhuo sighed, "I already know about the Xianbei incident. Yunzhong Prefect Lehe has sent an urgent report."

Oh? Liu Qing was a little surprised. It seemed that the prefect of Yunzhong had done him a favor unintentionally.

"Your Majesty, please report to the court as soon as possible and send troops to support quickly. Although I have some troops on hand, I can carry out an ambush. If I encounter a large army, Yanmen will not be able to stop it. By then, the Xianbei army will go straight into Taiyuan. But

Don't let Taiyuan County become Hedong County." Liu Qing pointed out.

Dong Zhuo was the former governor of Hedong County, and no one knew the situation in Hedong better than him.

Although the Xianbei and Southern Xiongnu coalition forces had been defeated, a mixed army that crossed the river in advance wreaked havoc in Hedong County. However, the imperial court was eager to regain Liangzhou, so this small-scale rebel army in Hedong County was never encircled and suppressed.

This year's autumn harvest will probably be greatly affected in Hedong County.

Dong Zhuo hesitated for a while, thinking about it, and then said: "Young Master reminded me that Zhuo immediately called the police in a hurry, but if it is true that Luoyang will be in chaos as you said, what should we do?"

Liu Qing smiled in his heart, Dong Zhuo had been led into this vortex by him.

Bingzhou was in danger and the imperial court had no help. As a pastor of Bingzhou, what should he do? When he hesitated, he must have been thinking about his Xiliang army.

However, the hypothesis set by Liu Qing is, to be precise, also a historical fact. Once something goes wrong with Liu Hong, the power vacuum will inevitably trigger competition among various forces. If Luoyang is in chaos, the border areas will have to resign themselves to their fate.

Historically, after the death of Liu Hong, Luoyang was in chaos. The entire Liangzhou state was separatist, and most of Bingzhou was occupied by the Eastern Qiang people and the Southern Huns. Liangzhou did not return until Han Sui and Ma Teng surrendered, and Bingzhou lost five

The land originally located on the Xihe River in Shuofang, Shangjun, was never recovered by the Three Kingdoms.

Now all this is about to happen again. The only difference is that Liu Qing happened several years earlier. It is not that Liu Qing, the butterfly, has too much influence.

Rather, careerists will not let go of such opportunities.

Nowadays, Dong Zhuo's ambition is also growing rapidly, and Liu Qing is just throwing out a bait that does not belong to him.

"Do you think it is more important to merge the provinces or Luoyang?" Liu Qing looked at Dong Zhuo solemnly and said.

"Of course Luoyang is important!" Dong Zhuo replied without hesitation.

Liu Qing raised the tea cup to drink, then shook his head and put it down, saying: "Since Luoyang is so important, not only will the imperial court not send troops here, but I am afraid that you will have to lead troops into Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened, and his dark eyes became a little brighter.

Just now, he was thinking, if Xianbei invaded, would he have to bring the Xiliang army into Bingzhou to defend against the enemy? But now he was thinking, if Luoyang was in chaos, would it be more important to go to Luoyang to stop the chaos?

"Young Master has extraordinary vision. He can clearly explain the pros and cons of everything. No wonder he can win every battle!" Dong Zhuo praised him first, and then said: "Luoyang is important, but the annexation of the state is also important. If we don't get support,

, what should I do, young master?”

Liu Qing thought: Thank you for still thinking of me at this time!

From some places, Dong Zhuo really looked like an honest man, even helping count the money after he was sold.

Liu Qing endured the pain and sighed again, quite generously: "In the border counties of Bingzhou, I and other border commanders will come to guard the border counties. The soldiers of the border counties will come to fight, and the people of the border counties will come to help."

Dong Zhuo's respect for Liu Qing rose again. When the country was in crisis, he was willing to stand up and guard the country. He was truly an unparalleled national soldier!

It's a pity that the imperial court was blind, and the Shichangshi went against the grain, deceiving the saints, and letting such a pearl fall into dust. This Bingzhou shepherd should be given the title of Young Master!

"Son."

Liu Qing looked at Dong Zhuo and listened quietly.

"I still have some soldiers and horses in my hands!" Dong Zhuo suddenly said.

Liu Qing still had the same expression, not surprised at all, as if he was saying: Aren't some soldiers and horses normal?

But he had a different feeling in his heart. The soldiers and horses Dong Zhuo mentioned were his trump card, the Xiliang Army.

How much trust did Dong Zhuo have in him to tell the truth like this?

Looking at Dong Zhuo who was heartbroken, Liu Qing actually felt a little unbearable.

Is this the legendary Demon King Dong Zhuo who kills without batting an eye and cooks and eats his opponents at every turn?

Maybe this is the predecessor of the evil dragon, the hot-blooded boy.

Liu Qing still had a complicated look in his eyes, and said jokingly: "It's a great thing to have soldiers and horses!"

Dong Zhuo asked for advice seriously: "If there are both internal and external troubles, and I have troops in my hands, should I defend the outside first? Or pacify the inside?"

Liu Qing thought for a while and suddenly remembered a notorious "famous saying".

"In order to fight against the outside world, we must first make peace at home!" Liu Qing said solemnly.

…

In Liangzhou in August, it was the hottest time. Hanyang County was still nominally Han territory, but what Gai Xun had previously defended was only a few cities, and large areas of land were still owned by the rebel Qiang.

The Fu family had a great reputation in Liangzhou, and Fu Xie's reputation was also at its peak from deputy general Huangfu Song to the general in charge of Jizhou's military. Therefore, before Fu Xie took office, many rebel Qiang were already discussing how to join him.

The news that the Qiang people had surrendered was also a severe blow to the face of the new Scui Lie who advocated abandoning Liangzhou.

Fu Xie not only led the army well, but also had great ideas in running the county. He imitated Changshan County in eradicating the bandits, resettling the refugees, opening up fields and subsidizing the people. In a short period of time, he brought a new look to the devastated Hanyang County.

But at this time, Liangzhou suddenly changed its governor.

Geng Bi had recently taken office, and he also thought about the three things to do when he took office. However, looking at Liangzhou, only Hanyang County was able to communicate with the government. He appointed the mediocre official Cheng Qiu to be in charge of governance. Cheng Qiu lived in the border areas all year round, and soon

If you know how to seek personal gain, you will soon start to complain.

Not long after, the fire burned the kingdom in Hanyang.

The kingdom led the Di, and the Qiang tribe raised an army with great momentum. Han Sui, the leader of the Qiang Liang, also eliminated Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, and once again gathered a large army, known as one hundred thousand, to march into Longxi. The governor of Longxi, Li Xiangru, had no choice but to rebel.

Surrendered to the Qiang army.

Geng Bi was shocked when the rebels rose up again. He did not expect that he would stir up a hornet's nest not long after taking office, so he urgently recruited soldiers to fight and asked Zhang Wen of Chencang for help.

After Fu Xie heard about it, he went to visit Geng Bi and bluntly pointed out: "The governor's new policy is unpopular. Even if soldiers are recruited, they will be a group of disloyal people. There is no chance of winning against the rebels, and there will be little chance of success."

"If you want to successfully suppress the rebellion, you should suspend the war, train your troops and horses, and improve the administration of officials. If the rebels send orders to many gates, and see the Han army retreating for a while, they will definitely feel arrogant, and then try to divide the rebels and order them to

They are fighting among themselves, and only then will King Wang send his troops to attack, and then he can succeed in one fell swoop."

If Cao Cao heard this, he would definitely appreciate it greatly. When Cao Cao conquered Han Sui and Ma Chao, he also suffered a disadvantage in the first battle. In the end, he used the strategy of instigating rebellion, divided and disintegrated the Han Sui and Ma Chao alliance, and won a great victory.

However, Geng Bi was not Cao Cao. He was jealous and afraid of Fu Xie's abilities and reputation, and he was greedy for success and rushed forward, so he still did not adopt Fu Xie's suggestions.

Not long after, Fu Xie, who was busy in the county government, heard another bad news.

Geng Bi besieged Didao County, the administrative center of Longxi. Army Sima Ma Teng suddenly rebelled and sworn sworn brothers with Han Sui on the spot. They became brothers of the opposite sex and jointly elected Wang Guo as the leader of the rebel army.

The Han army was defeated. Both Geng Bi and Cheng Qiu died in the rebellion. Many soldiers simply surrendered. The situation in Liangzhou deteriorated instantly. More than 100,000 rebel Qiang once again invaded Ji County, Hanyang County.

When Fu Xie heard the news, he lost his mind for a moment.

Everything he did in Hanyang County fell short.
