Chapter 22 The moon is bright and the stars are shining
Who is in favor? Who is against?
Tian Feng has clearly explained the ins and outs of the matter and the conflict of interests.
When everyone heard that they were borrowing food, and that they were borrowing food for a long time, their expressions turned bad. Doesn't this mean that they are required to keep those homeless people and trash for a long time?
But if you don't comply, the Yellow Turban will cause trouble again, and the result will still be that people will be killed and others will be killed.
It’s a tangle, it’s too involved. The cost of food for 30,000 people a year is not a small amount.
Looking at the people who were undecided, Liu Qing suddenly spoke.
"The reason why I didn't kill Pei Yuanshao is because he didn't make a big mistake. If he, like other thieves, went straight into Yu County and took all the money and women for himself, I think all of you here would not have the chance to sit down.
it's here."
Liu Qing's clear voice immediately calmed them down. He was telling everyone present: You are lucky to be alive!
Only when you have your life can you calculate money and food. If your life cannot be guaranteed, then you can still calculate it.
"I want to keep Pei Yuanshao because he can control the Yellow Turbans and ensure that they participate in spring plowing and summer harvesting and return grain in the autumn harvest. If you don't comply, even if you kill Pei Yuanshao, there will still be a second and third Pei Yuanshao in Tieshan.
There is no way of knowing how the new leader will behave, and I wonder if you are willing to put your future on such an unknown matter?"
"After all, I'm just passing through Yuxian County. What happens to this place in the future has nothing to do with me."
After Liu Qing finished speaking, he stopped talking. Tian Feng had already made it very clear. He just added: The consequences of rejection may be serious. Can you afford it?
"The yellow turban thieves are punished by everyone. If we help them, wouldn't it be equivalent to joining them?" one of them said.
When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately added: "What the head of the Lu family said is not unreasonable. Look at it, general."
"When the Yellow Turbans besieged the city, you not only asked for money, but also for food, and even for people." As he said this, Liu Qing gave Cai Yan a meaningful look, "Do you have any idea of using money and food to support the rebels like this?
If everyone succeeds, then he will be punished?"
"What the general said is true! The Lu family master didn't think it through properly." Magistrate Cheng responded while winking at the Lu family master to shut up.
After hearing Liu Qing's words, all the family heads were silent.
"Cai agreed with the general's proposal and was willing to lend all the farm produce, as well as the stored grain." Cai Yan made a bold move and was the first to agree.
"Ms. Cai has set an example by setting an example. I will announce that the grain will be returned and an extra 10% will be harvested. This will be guaranteed by this general."
"Lin agrees with the general's proposal."
"Zhang agrees."
"Ms. Lu also agrees!"
The remaining families, big and small, all agreed that this matter was over.
What followed was a flurry of toasting. Magistrate Cheng was a total praiser. He was praising people from beginning to end, praising Liu Qing for his heroic appearance, praising Tian Feng for his resourcefulness, and praising Cai Yan for his dazzling literary talent...
Liu Qingtianfeng wanted to have a few symbolic drinks on the grounds of military affairs. It would be great if Jushou was here for such an occasion. He would definitely make everyone happy.
"General." Cai Yan at the side suddenly called, "Last time, you forgot your sword at home."
"Then when the banquet is over, I will take the young lady back to the house and pick up the sword along the way." Liu Qing said.
Cai Yan said softly "Yeah".
Liu Qing immediately turned to look at Magistrate Cheng, "Magistrate Cheng, it's too late today, I'll just stop here!"
"What the general said is absolutely true! I apologize for my poor hospitality today!"
Magistrate Cheng announced the banquet and bowed.
After leaving Cheng Mansion, Liu Qing dumped the burden of Tian Feng and went back to Cai Mansion in a carriage to pick up the sword.
It was pitch dark in the car and nothing could be seen. Only two breathing sounds could be heard, one was light and rapid, the other was heavy and long.
When they arrived at Cai's Mansion, Cai Yan blushed and went straight back to get his sword. Cai's Mansion was much brighter than last time. It must be that all the servants were back, so Liu Qing chose to wait outside the door.
The military advisor said that you are not allowed to enter a woman's private house.
After waiting for a while, Cai Yan came out again, holding the sword in both hands, and handed it to Liu Qing.
Liu Qing took it with both hands and silently thanked him.
Cai Yan suddenly raised his head and said, "The moon is bright and the stars are bright. It will be a sunny day tomorrow."
Liu Qing lowered his head slightly and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, a little moved, and couldn't help but think of some beautiful things.
The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, what’s the next sentence?
What Liu Qing didn't expect was that when the two of them were in the same place, she would make such an obscure expression first. Perhaps she was a talented woman who could always express her thoughts in poems.
If he could respond with poetry just right at this time, it would undoubtedly bring the atmosphere to a higher level. Unfortunately, Liu Qing's head is empty now.
The more I thought about it, the less it came to mind. All that was echoing in my mind were things like "this feeling can only be remembered" and "the uncertainty of life and death in ten years".
Tang poetry and Song lyrics were all carried on the back of the dog!
Cai Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Liu Qing's hesitant expression. He dared to kill the villain without fear of death, but he even shamed the woman with a poem.
"General, Yan heard that the peach blossoms are in full bloom in the south of the city. I wonder if I have time to enjoy them together tomorrow." Cai Yan said directly.
Ah? The peach blossoms have bloomed, so they should become sworn brothers, right?
But that's the north, so it should be a month or two later.
"General?"
"If there is no fighting tomorrow, we will definitely go together." Liu Qing said seriously.
Cai Yan smiled sweetly, turned around and left, leaving Liu Qing alone, watching the departing figure in the darkness.
"Brave girl." Liu Qing muttered.
The residence Tian Feng was looking for was actually only a few hundred steps away from the Cai Mansion. It was Lin's vacant house.
As soon as he returned, Tian Feng came to greet him, and Gan Lai was also there. Looking at Tian Feng's serious face, Liu Qing could guess that something was going on.
"Lord!" they both called in unison.
"But there is a message from Junyi?"
"The letter sent by Li Shui overnight is related to the safety of Changshe."
"Where's Li Shui?"
"I was too exhausted, so I went down to rest. Junyi said in the letter that Huangfu Song led his troops to break through, but all ended in failure. Bo Cai's army of more than 100,000 people had surrounded Changshe on all sides. Now they are building fortifications, apparently to capture Huangfu Song and
Zhu Jun was trapped and killed. If the Han army makes a mistake in this battle..."
The imperial court no longer had soldiers to defend itself against the enemy.
Regarding the situation of the Han Dynasty, Liu Qing and Tian Feng basically knew what was going on.
"Even if the imperial court sends troops to support, they may not be able to catch up in time. If Huangfu Song can understand the secrets of night battles and conduct night raids, he can delay Bocai's offensive." Tian Feng analyzed.
Historically, Huangfu Song did understand the secrets of night fighting and used fire attacks to burn down all of Bocai's fortresses and repel Bocai.
But now, Liu Qing wants to take over this job. He wants to take Bo Cai's head, not for anything else. For the achievement of [Yellow Turban Pillar], he needs more achievement points to unlock more advanced equipment formulas.
.
Last time, in order to save Cai Yan, I bought the Red Sky Sword directly, but now I only have 7500 achievement points left.
But it’s no problem, I didn’t lose the achievement points, they just stayed with me in a different way.
"The war is urgent. We will rush to Yingchuan tonight. Changshe cannot afford to lose anything!" Liu Qing said.
Chapter completed!
