Liu Qing returned to Changshan and Yuanshi County.

First, Dong Zhao was brought to Jushou. The two of them knew each other before, so they ignored Liu Qing's introduction.

Dong Zhao is a real talent in the rear. When the territory expands in the future, Liu Qing will ask him to take charge of one aspect of the work, freeing up Jushu and Tian Feng.

As soon as Jushou saw Liu Qing, he trotted towards him with a look of joy on his face.

"Lord! What a great thing!" Jushou shouted.

"Why are you so happy?" Liu Qing was puzzled.

Jushuo waved his hand and said to the county officials: "Please come, General Zhang!"

Liu Qing and the others were confused and looked at each other without knowing why. Guo Jia and Dong Zhao also looked at each other. Dian Wei stretched out his head and followed the county official with his eyes to see what Ju Shou was selling.

Not long after, the county official appeared again, but he followed a group of people. The leader was a military general wearing dark brown leather armor, holding a broad-bladed spear in his backhand. Judging from his demeanor, he was quite extraordinary, with thick eyebrows.

His face is as neat as a knife, his eyebrows are handsome, and he has a mustache on his upper lip. He looks more mature than his age.

This man had a good appearance and was certainly not an unknown person. Liu Qing took a look at him immediately.

Liu Qing looked at the person in front of him and calmly protected Dian Wei behind him.

Zhang Xiu? Why did he suddenly appear here?

While Liu Qing was still thinking, Zhang Xiu stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and saluted Liu Qing.

"The last general Wu Wei and Zhang Xiu will meet the Marquis of Wuzhou!"

"General Zhang, please wake up. Why is General Zhang here? Your aunt, ah, when did you arrive? I have been away on business these days." Liu Qing asked with concern.

"Thank you very much for your concern, Marquis Wuzhou. The general just arrived yesterday. The general sent people to Marquis Wuzhou on the order of Duke Dong."

Ah? Give it to someone? Give it to Zhang Xiu or give it to Zou? Or give it together?

"Bring the people up!"

Zhang Xiu waved his hand, and several strong men behind him dragged the three of them to Liu Qing.

Although the clothes of these three people were in a mess, they could still tell that they were eunuch clothes. In other words, these three people were eunuchs. Dong Zhuo ordered Zhang Xiu to bring them here. These three people should be eunuchs in the court.

"What does this mean?" Liu Qing asked knowingly.

"Back to Wuzhou Marquis, Dong Gong brought a message. These three people are Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Duan Gui. Dong Gong specially explained that Zhang Rang is Cao Jie's disciple, Zhao Zhong and Duan Gui are Wang Fu's disciples, and now they are

The three of them were handed over to the Marquis of Wuzhou." Zhang Xiu said.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Gui, and Dong Zhuo really gave a great gift!

Liu Qing narrowed his eyes, and the playful atmosphere in the county courtyard suddenly disappeared.

When those three people heard about Liu Qing's title, they already knew Liu Qing's identity, and the title of Marquis of Wuzhou was even proposed by them.

At this time, the three of them were lying on the ground, their foreheads pressed tightly to the ground, their bodies trembling slightly, and for a moment, they even forgot about the pain in their legs.

Liu Qing glanced at Jushou and waved his hand.

Jushou called the county officials and ordered them to be taken into the county prison. There, they also had an old friend, Wang Zhi, the former prefect of Wuyuan, who was Wang Fu's younger brother.

"How is Zhongying?" Liu Qing asked kindly.

Zhang Xiu quickly replied, "Everything is fine with Mr. Dong. He should be in Luoyang now."

I secretly sighed in my heart, the Marquis of Wuzhou looked young, but he addressed Duke Dong directly as "Zhongying", and the name was so natural. No wonder Duke Dong had repeatedly told him in advance that he should respect the Marquis of Wuzhou.

So Zhang Xiu took out the emperor's edict wrapped in cloth and handed it to Liu Qing.

"This thing was also given to the Young Master by Dong Gong on behalf of him."

Liu Qing reached out to take it, opened it and looked at Jushou inexplicably.

I saw something strange in Jushou's eyes. He had obviously recognized this object. It was the emperor's edict and an imperial edict.

In front of everyone, Liu Qing took a look!

Defeated Xianbei several times? Killed the three leading brothers in person? Shocked the grassland? Increased the prestige of the Han Dynasty?

Nothing wrong!

Granted the title of King of Bohai? A county in the city?

This word seemed to have jumped out of the imperial edict, stimulating Liu Qing's eyes.

Liu Hongfeng himself as King of Bohai?

Unexpected, but reasonable.

Liu Qing thought that it was because of Princess Wannian that Liu Hong knew that the end was coming and Luoyang would be in chaos, so he entrusted Princess Wannian to himself and at the same time, he named himself King of Bohai. This was a kind of compensation, or in other words,

It's a compromise.

This also means that it is ridiculous for Queen He to confer Liu Xie the title of King of Bohai. Only this edict stamped with His Majesty's seal is valid.

The only King of Bohai is Liu Qing!

"Congratulations, lord, with this edict, Bohai County will also belong to the lord." Guo Jiadao.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Liu Qing said.

"My lord, are you referring to Yuan Shao's appointment as the governor of Bohai?" Guo Jia asked.

Liu Qing nodded, "During the Chinese New Year, Luoyang is in such a situation. Yuan Shao came to Bohai with the natural purpose of taking control of this county, and even looking for opportunities to expand to the surrounding areas. Jizhou is a fertile and wild country, and the Yuan family may not let it go easily.

"

Ju Shou stroked his beard, with a calm smile on his face, "My lord, Changshan has a solid foundation. If we annex the surrounding counties, we will have already covered half of Jizhou. Even if Yuan Benchu ​​is a famous family and has many supporters, it will not be a concern."

"Yes, I'm very afraid. If the man named Yuan dares to seize the lord's territory, I will beat him to pieces!" Dian Wei, who rarely participated in Liu Qing's conversations, also joined in the fun.

Liu Qing didn't take Yuan Shao to heart at first, and he didn't even take the position of King of Bohai in his heart. After all, he had higher ideals, but Liu Hong's move was really caught off guard, and Liu Qing could only accept it "reluctantly"

, I can also call myself the king from now on.

Liu Qing put the matter behind him for the time being and handed the edict to Jushou for safekeeping. He smiled and said to Zhang Xiu, "The general never leaves his hand with a gun. Could it be that he is good at spearmanship?"

When asked this question, Zhang Xiu unconsciously tightened the gun in his hand. As Liu Qing said, shooting is his most proud skill. If he is good at it, he can still afford it.

However, when asked by Marquis Wuzhou, he still followed Dong Gong's treatment and was more modest, so he replied: "I know a little bit."

"I'm also interested in spear skills, how about we compete?" Liu Qing invited.

Liu Qing's purpose was not to test Zhang Xiu's strength. Zhang Xiu's strength was more than 80, and he was now 92. He was definitely confident in defeating him.

Liu Qing was looking for an advanced form of spear training.

Zhao Yun's spearmanship was too clever and exquisite to promote in the army, but the basic spearmanship taught by Zhao Yun was already very mature. Liu Qing had seen the spearmanship of Liangzhou cavalry in Dong Zhuo's army, and since then

That's how I thought.

"Marquis of Wuzhou, this is absolutely unacceptable. How dare Xiu take action against the Marquis!" Zhang Xiu declined.

"It's okay, Dian Wei, go get an iron gun." Liu Qing ordered, he stepped forward and patted Zhang Xiu on the shoulder, "I wonder if Zhong Ying mentioned that I am good at charging into battle?"

Zhang Xiu shook his head, feeling very uneasy. From the looks of it, Marquis Wuzhou did not look like he was joking, but judging from Marquis Wuzhou's temperament, although he was fair and clean, the sharpness between his eyebrows and the heroism on his face made him look like someone who knew martial arts.

Then put some water in it to give Marquis Wuzhou a good time, Zhang Xiu thought to himself.

With the iron guns in hand, there was no need to look for a venue. Everyone retreated into the corridor, and the courtyard became a martial arts arena.

Liu Qing held the gun in both hands and assumed an offensive stance. Zhang Xiu, on the other hand, still held the spear with his backhand, as if to give Liu Qing the first move.

Liu Qing was not polite. He flicked the tip of his spear and stabbed Zhang Xiu very quickly. Zhang Xiu might be confident or humble, but in any case, if he couldn't catch a single shot, then he would be in vain.

.

Sure enough, Liu Qing's offensive immediately made Zhang Xiu become serious. He took a step back and swung the gun with his right hand. After dancing half a circle, he caught it with his left hand, held the gun with both hands, stumbled forward, and hit Liu Qing hard.

Get on top of the incoming spear and neutralize it.

Liu Qing put away his gun and attacked again, using the thorn to sweep away. Before loading Zhang Xiu, he immediately parried with short and neat movements, easily resolving Liu Qing's sweeping attack.
