Just when Liu Qing was about to tease Xun Cai with his hands and then let her ride the horse, an announcement came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, I would like to see you."

"Ahem!" Liu Qing coughed deliberately.

Xun Cai immediately moved away and sat next to Liu Qing.

"Call the Prime Minister to come in."

After Xun Yu entered Liu Qing's study, he lingered on Xun Cai and said to himself: "My lord, Yangxin County Magistrate Zhu Ao has been hiding the felon Wang Fen. He has been captured and Wang Fen has been arrested."

"Did he say anything?" Liu Qing asked.

Xun Yu shook his head, "Wang Fen wanted to die, but he interceded for Zhu Ao."

Wanting to die? Liu Qing was confused when he said he wanted to kill him.

"Wen Ruo, can this Wang Fen be useful to us?"

"When Wang Fen was the governor, he won the hearts of the people. The Lord wants to win the hearts of the people of Jizhou. This person cannot be killed by the Lord. He can hand this person to Cao Cao, who will transfer it to the court, or..." Xun Yu paused and said:

"Give it to Mr. Yuan."

If it is handed over to the imperial court, the imperial court will naturally kill Wang Fen for treason, and may also implicate many things. But if it is handed over to the Yuan family, it has a different purpose. Since Wang Fen is hiding in Bohai, and Yuan Shaoxian is the governor of Bohai,

It is not difficult to guess that the two are inextricably linked. It is better to let Yuan make this choice.

Anyway, during the period of Party imprisonment, Yuan's reputation for protecting the world's scholars was very loud, so it would be better to let him "protect" him one more time.

"This is an idea. In this way, it counts as selling Meng De a favor, so let's do it!"

"My Lord, there is one more thing. A Yellow Turban Army of several hundred people appeared in the direction of Yangxin, with unknown intentions." Xun Yu said.

Liu Qing's originally relaxed face suddenly froze. Xun Cai on the side seemed to notice something and quickly looked at Liu Qing, seeing that his eyes were full of coldness.

"Lord, do you want to send someone to destroy it?" Xun Yu asked.

If they were ordinary thieves, he would naturally make the decision, but those people were under the banner of Yellow Turbans, and Liu Qing had surrendered many Yellow Turbans. In addition, because of Zhang Ning, Xun Yu did not dare to make rash decisions.

"Destroy them all! Wen Ruo, please remember that from today on, any armed soldiers and horses that enter the Bohai Sea without my permission will be regarded as an invasion and should be killed!" Liu Qing said, giving Xun Yu a direct order.

a standard.

"Here!" Xun Yu responded and then left.

The study became quiet again, and the murderous spirit in Liu Qing's words seemed to have not dissipated, so Xun Cai just looked at him silently.

After staying together for several days, Xun Cai saw Liu Qing's murderous side for the first time. He could kill hundreds of people with one sentence without blinking an eye.

"What's wrong? Do you think your husband is a murderer?"

"I don't dare!"

"Today is different from the past. In the past, I was often in the army. No matter how powerful the enemy was, I was not afraid. In the past, when I was in Yuxian County, Pei Yuanshao had thirty thousand Yellow Turbans, and I dared to surrender without fear of him rebelling again. Now I am

As the lord of a country,

I can no longer act rashly, because what I consider is not only myself, but all the people of Bohai Kingdom, hundreds of Yellow Turbans. If they go around looting and killing, won't my people die innocently and tragically, just like the coincidence?

The county is in trouble!”

Xun Cai is also a scholar, so she naturally understands the meaning of Liu Qing's words to protect the environment and the people. She whispered: "My husband is a good king, and the people of Bohai Kingdom love the king very much!"

This was also what Xun Cai saw with his own eyes, the grand occasion when King Bohai returned to his hometown.

Liu Qing pushed away the document, threw the chores aside, and teased Xun Cai, "Does Madam love this king?"

Such a straightforward question immediately made Xun Cai think of all the things at night. Red clouds flew over his cheeks, and he lowered his head to avoid Liu Qing's wanton gaze.

Liu Qing took her hand and said, "Let's go riding with my king!"

Xun Cai nodded, thinking that the king was really interesting. She clearly wanted him to ride with her, but he instead asked her to ride with her.

Turning passive into active, a small change, for some reason, Xun Cai felt happy in his heart.

…

Zhang Miao's Chen Liujun and Li Meng's Xiliang Army were fighting inextricably.

But at this moment, only Zhang Miao himself knew that Chen Liujun was at a disadvantage in this battle. Let alone assisting Wang Kuang, he was probably in a bad situation.

This battle also allowed Zhang Miao to appreciate the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army, especially the Xiliang cavalry. They were not only good at riding and shooting, they were also very good at killing and assassinating on horseback.

The people of Liangzhou have always been with horses, and almost everyone is good at riding. This basic skill is their combat effectiveness in wartime.

If he could grit his teeth and persist, Zhang Miao would definitely not retreat, because although the Xiliang army's offensive was fierce, their numbers were inferior to several other parties. Zhang Miao knew that the enemy army divided its forces to attack Wang Kuang and himself.

However, what happened next made him confused.

Another enemy army came from the direction of our camp!

What? The camp was destroyed? What about Chen Gong and Zhang Su?

Zhang Miao had no time to think about the situation of these two people, and there was only one thought left in his heart - withdraw!

Withdraw eastward!

That is the direction where Wang Kuang is. If we join Wang Kuang's army, we may still be able to fight.

"Retreat! Join General Wang!" Even though he was unwilling to do so, Zhang Miao gritted his teeth and ordered.

On the other side, Wang Kuang saw that the east gate of Xingyang suddenly opened a crack and a bloody hand stretched out. This meant that the soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city had captured the gate.

Wang Kuang suddenly shouted excitedly: "The city gate has been breached, attack quickly!"

The remaining soldiers immediately rushed to the city gate.

Wang Kuang looked back again and saw the enemy in the rear, but he couldn't even break through the defense line he divided his troops to resist. Suddenly, Wang Kuang seemed to have thought of something.

It shouldn't be. If the enemy army is coming towards us, then the offensive should be extremely fierce. Why is it so weak? Is it a feint attack to deceive Zhang Miao's reinforcements, but their actual purpose is to attack the camp!

"General, General Zhang's reinforcements have arrived!" a subordinate suddenly reported.

"Meng Zhuo is here, okay! No matter what, let's attack the city first!" Wang Kuang said.

"It's just..." the subordinate said again.

"If you want to say it, just say it once!" Wang Kuang scolded.

"General Zhang is in a very embarrassed state, as if he had just gone through a bloody battle."

A bloody battle? Could it be——

Wang Kuang understood that the so-called attack was just to force him to ask for reinforcements, and reinforcements were the enemy's purpose. Zhang Miao must have been ambushed on the way.

"A public holiday!"

Suddenly a call came from the distance, and Wang Kuang understood that it was Zhang Miao who had arrived.

Wang Kuang immediately rode up to meet him.

"It's a public holiday, gather your troops and retreat quickly, the enemy is chasing us!"

"How many people are there?" Wang Kuang asked.

"I fought with one of the groups for a while, and then I saw another group of people coming from the direction of my camp. I'm afraid our camp is in danger as well! Hurry, our army is defeated, retreat quickly!" Zhang Miao

road.

"But I have already captured Xingyang City!" Wang Kuang pointed at the city gate.

However, before Wang Kuang could finish his words, the gates of Xingyang City were closed again, and then a fierce fighting broke out again on top of the city, and Wang Kuang's troops who were attacking the city were beaten back steadily.

Seeing that the advantage he had worked so hard to build on the city was lost so quickly, Wang Kuang suddenly became angry and was about to wave his hand to attack, but Zhang Miao spoke out to dissuade him.

"On the public holiday, there is a scam in this city. You and I have fallen into the trap. If we don't retreat, we may be completely wiped out!" Zhang Miao said anxiously.

Wang Kuang looked at the top of the city, with a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes. If he retreated, his success would be defeated, and the hundreds of soldiers who died attacking the city would have died in vain.

"Ouch!"

Wang Kuang let out a sigh of relief, and then shouted: "Retreat!"

The military order to retreat immediately demoralized most of the army. The rear army began to collect, and the attackers changed their direction. However, those who had already attacked the city suddenly changed from the bravest to the abandoned.

, a few bright people jumped onto the parapet in an instant, and quickly climbed down from the ladder.

Once the battle was over, Zhang Miao and Wang Kuang understood that the situation was over and they could not even think about Xingyang.

What Zhang Miao was thinking about at this time was just hoping that Chen Gong and his nephew Zhang Su could withdraw...

Li Meng met Xu Rong, and the two chased Zhang Miao. Li Meng was greatly surprised and asked: "Why is General Xu here?"

Wild rice

This was not part of the plan.

Xu Rongdao: "I entered the camp from the north and came out from the south, and then came here along the way."

"General Xu is mighty! Zhang Miao ran away in panic when he saw the general!" Li Meng slapped him with flattery.

The two chased them to the east gate of Xingyang, and Xu Rong ordered to stop the pursuit.

"General, why didn't you pursue me?" Li Meng asked puzzledly.
To be continued...
