Chapter 96 Personal Honor, Disgrace, Life and Death, What Matters!(1/2)
Liu Qing led Yao Gong and others back to the Mansion Hall, intending to take this opportunity to talk about the situation in several counties around the Bohai Sea.
Now Zhongshan County, Zhao County, and Wei County are bound to win, and Bohai County is also in the bag, and only the rest is completely digested. The remaining Jizhou is, but the three counties and states, Hejian Country, Anping Country and Qinghe Country.
Hejian was originally the fiefdom of Liu Hong. It was in chaos during the Yellow Turban period and was robbed from head to toe by Cheng Yuanzhi. Now Hejian is controlled by Cao Cao.
King Anping and King Ganling of Qinghe Kingdom were captured by Zhang Jiao during the Yellow Turban period, and Liu Hong redeemed it with money. Now Qinghe Kingdom has been changed to a county, with Yao Gong as the prefect, and Anping Kingdom is spared, and Liu Xu is still the king. Now the prime minister is Wang Ji. This time, Yuan Shao invited him together.
Liu Qing didn't know the specific purpose of Yuan Shao's invitation to come here, but he could guess it was nothing more than just standing up to deal with Dong Zhuo and others.
After all, Liu Qing has not yet become a thorn in Yuan's side.
Liu Qing looked at the two people who were a little frightened and asked straight to the point: "Yao Gong, the governor of Qinghe County, Wang Ji, the prime minister of Anping, the wise man did not say secret words, Yuan Benchu called you here, what's the matter?"
Yao Gong bowed and said, "Go back to Bohai King, we were here to celebrate Yuan Benchu's promotion to prefect."
"Congratulations? Isn't it an alliance?" Liu Qing asked. In fact, it was a random test, or in other words, it was a scare of them.
"All? Oh, Bohai King, where do you start with this matter? Yuan Benchu, the fourth generation of the three ministers, came here to take office, so we will naturally be willing to make friends with each other." Wang Ji said.
This is also human nature.
"Then I am here now, I wonder if you are willing to make friends?" Liu Qing smiled harmlessly.
But this smile was not very friendly in the eyes of these two people. After all, Liu Qing used this smile to make Yuan Shao faint.
"Natural, natural!" the two of them laughed apologetically.
Of course, this is just a superficial statement and pretending. After all, according to the Han laws, Liu Qing could not govern the Bohai Kingdom, and only had the power to pay taxes.
How could they know that Liu Qing planned to completely take over Bohai County.
As a symbol of himself, Liu Qing not only wanted to appoint county officials himself, but also the position of the prime minister was prepared for Xun Yu.
He wanted to summon Xun Yu over, not just talk to Xun Chen, but really. After entering the city, Liu Qing felt that he was sure of winning the trip, so he directly sent the letter to summon Xun Yu.
"King Kingdom Prime Minister, is King Anping good?" Liu Qing asked with concern. In fact, he knew that Liu Xu was not good, because Liu Hong was assassinated in Anping Kingdom. Several major wars occurred in the territory. Wang Fen fled, and Liu Xu was inevitably punished.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Wang Jiyan replied insincerely.
Liu Qing also asked about the matters in the counties of Anping and Qinghe countries, whether there were refugees, bandits, whether the people were all warm, whether they were full, whether they had land planting, etc.
Yao Gong and Wang Ji were asked questions, as if the Bohai King was very familiar with their county. Some places they couldn't answer were said by Liu Qing.
They didn't know that Liu Qing had been in business for many years and had several counties in Jizhou. Even if he left the map, Liu Qing could still say one, two, three, and four out.
After seeing off guests from other counties, when Liu Qing went to the front of the mansion again, there was no one at the door. Ban Ming came to report that Yuan Shao had already taken people out of the city.
Cao Cao probably sent Yuan Shao there.
Tian Feng approached and said, "The lord left these two people behind, but do you have any ideas about the two countries of Anping and Qinghe?"
Liu Qing quickly glared at Tian Feng and said with an angry look on his face: "Don't talk nonsense in Yuan Hao. Liu Xu, Anping Kingdom, and Liu Zhong, the King of Ganling, are relatives of the Han Dynasty and brothers with me. How can I take over the county and country?"
After Liu Qing finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and went back, leaving Tian Feng with a back view. Looking at that back, Tian Feng felt-
I can’t understand my lord anymore!
...
Wei County.
The banquet has ended, and Fu Xie and Guo Dian have just left shortly after drinking.
An urgent letter was delivered to Li Wen.
It was sent by the magistrate of Liangqi County. A large number of soldiers and horses were found outside Liangqi County. Now Liangqi County has closed the city gate, but there is only one person in the county, and the county is asking for support.
Shen Pei was by his side and had not left yet. Li Wen quickly explained what was in the letter.
Shen Pei thought about it and said, "Mr. Liang Qi's soldiers should be sent to defend when the enemy has not attacked."
"Main south, have you noticed that what the letter said was a large number of soldiers, not bandits, the Yellow Turbans or the Black Mountain Army, would they be the soldiers of Zhao County? But I heard that there was a soldier in Zhao County that drove the Black Mountain Army to run around. Could it happen to be that army that was temporarily stationed on the border?" Li Wen guessed.
"What the Duke said is not without reason, but the county soldiers must make second-hand preparations. If they can defend against the enemy, it will naturally be better." Shen Pei said.
"What Zhengnan said is very much for me!"
"Mr. I have another thing, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"When? But it's okay!" Li Wen said.
"Don't you think General Fu and Prefect Guo are very strange here? Why did the two stay in Ye County at this time of year? If you say you pay a visit, it seems that you have passed."
After Shen Pei's words, Li Wen remembered the banquet. It seemed that Fu Xie was always speechless. Could it be that it was because there were many people at the banquet and it was difficult to discuss?
"Oh!" Li Wen thugs and exclaims: "It almost ruined a big deal. General Fu's hometown is far away in Liangzhou. How could he come to visit me? He comes here, so he naturally has a big deal to discuss with me! In the south, you can arrange for the assistance matters, and I will go and meet General Fu!" Li Wen hurriedly ordered, and while walking out, he shouted: "Prepare the horse!"
Fu Xie and Guo Dian have already arrived at the inn. They were still very surprised by Jia Cong's arrival. Although the governor of Yizhou was very small, he was very broad. Especially when they wanted to discuss matters with Li Wen, they were to surrender to the lord with the county. Such a big thing could naturally not be said in front of the inspector.
What's more, this governor is from the south.
"Junye, do you think Prefect Li will agree with this matter?" Fu Xie said.
Guo Dian thought without saying a word.
"Why do I think that Jia Cong seems to have known what you and I want to come?" Fu Xie said again.
"General Fu, don't think about it randomly. I think Bo Chong should agree. If it really doesn't work, I will tell you about the young master saving his life in Baibo Valley and see how he will!" Guo Dian said.
Fu Xie couldn't sit still, so he stood up and started pacing.
"Mr. Mansion! There is news!" A servant suddenly ran over and said breathlessly: "The spy from the camp gate came to report. After the Shen Pei entered the barracks, the county soldiers went to war."
"What! Say it again!" Guo Dian said angrily when he heard this.
Before he could speak, Shen Pei ordered his troops out?
"A spy from the camp gate came to report, and after the Semen entered the barracks, the county soldiers had already set out for war."
"So quickly report this news to Guo Jia's military advisor!" Fu Xie said.
Another attendant came over and said, "General Fu, Prefect Guo, Prefect Li is here!"
Li Wen! He came on his own initiative!
Fu Xie and Guo Dian looked at each other, and a hint of surprise appeared in both eyes.
There is a chance!
"Please invite him in!" Fu Xie said hurriedly.
The inn was decorated very ordinary, and there was no decent living room. There was a window that was not tightly closed. From time to time, cold air came in, and the three of them sat casually in the room.
Li Wen was straightforward and said directly: "Welcome to you, General Fu and Prefect Guo!"
Guo Dian smiled, "Prince Li was joking. We are all from the army and have never been to the hard environment!"
"There are many people at the banquet. Wen is here to ask, General Fu has come from afar, but what is the big deal?"
When Fu Xie and Guo Dian heard this, they smiled knowingly. Li Wen’s intuition was accurate enough!
Gu Qi
"There is indeed a big deal!" Fu Xie said solemnly.
"Please say it, General Fu."
"This matter is a long story. Since last year, the Yellow Turban has been poisoned and the court has been fooled, causing chaos in the world and the people are in trouble. The people in Jizhou are still very much!" Fu Xie said.
Li Wen nodded and agreed with what Fu Xie said. After continuing to listen, it must be a big deal for matters involving the people. Li Wen thought that his intuition was really accurate.
"Xie fought against the four prefectures of Yu, Yan and Ji, and saw a lot. After becoming the prefect of Hanyang, he felt deeply the difficulty of governing a county. The powerful cannot take over the land, the soldiers and horses cannot pacify the thieves, and the people cannot get their place. Such a mountain and river fell into my hands, I feel ashamed!"
It seemed like Fu Xie was reflecting on himself, but whether Guo Dian or Li Wen heard it, he was thinking about himself.
How did you do as the prefect?
Needless to say, Guo Dian is the main battlefield of the Yellow Turban Battle, where the Han army and the Yellow Turban Army go back and forth, it is easy to say that people are living in misfortune.
Li Wen thought of the powerful people in Wei County. He didn't hate or dare, but he didn't have the ability to move.
If the powerful men united, their private soldiers might be able to compete with the Shangjun soldiers.
During the Yellow Turban period, they recruited troops to protect themselves. Now, they are already in a big way and become a threat to support troops.
In addition, the southwest counties were attacked by the Black Mountain army, and the people suffered a lot.
Fu Xie's governance in Hanyang was famous all over the world. Unfortunately, the governor committed a crime, which led to the rebellion of the Han army, and Hanyang County was lost.
Compared to Fu Xie, Li Wen is of course even more unqualified.
"Shame!" Li Wen said.
"I feel even more ashamed!" Guo Dian also said.
"Bo Chong, you must be curious why I came here for this trip."
Li Wen nodded, this was also his purpose.
"I wonder if you have heard of the current situation in Changshan County?"
When talking about this, Li Wen's headache was raised, that is, the county people kept fleeing abroad, and they wanted to flee to Changshan County. Fortunately, there were blockades from Zhao County. There were many Black Mountain troops in Zhao County, so the people did not dare to flee to the north. If Changshan was in Beiting, Li Wen was really worried that the county people would run away.
But he never had the opportunity to see what Changshan County is, which the people yearn for.
