Yanling County is located at the junction of Yingchuan County and Chenliu County. It is about one day's journey from Changshe County to the west. Further west from Changshe is Yangdi County, and the seat of Yingchuan County is also one day's journey away.

At about dusk, Liu Qing met Zhang He about a hundred miles outside Changshe County. Zhang He had ordered people to keep an eye on the official road, so he spotted Liu Qing immediately.

"Lord, Bocai has surrounded Changshe. Outside the four gates of Changshe, there are Bocai military camps, and they are still expanding. There have been several small-scale conflicts between the two sides, and Huangfu Song's army retreated in the end.

Changsha.”

Zhang He reported the latest situation to Liu Qing.

"It seems that Bo Cai is also determined to win Huangfu Song. If he eats the main force of the Han army, no one can stop him from entering Sili. Are there any other movements of soldiers and horses?"

"I haven't found it yet, but I only have a dozen people, so it's possible that I've missed something." Zhang He said.

"If it's Luoyang's reinforcements, they must be coming from the official road to the west. We can send people to keep an eye on them and stay farther away. In addition, I plan to split our troops with you."

"Lord, we only have more than 600 cavalry. If we divide our troops again, I'm afraid..." Zhao Yun reminded.

"Zilong, don't worry. Our army is fighting to behead enemy generals, not to fight with them. The Yellow Turban mob, without their leader, will go back to their homes. Gan Lai, do you have any clever ideas?"

"My lord, you already have it all in mind, why do you need to ask me again." Gan Lai said with a wry smile. He even had the materials ready before he asked.

"Although I have a plan in mind, the time has not come yet. Do you know when the time will come?"

"wind!"

Zhao Yun and Zhang He looked at the two men playing dumb and confused.

"Jun Yi, I will assign you a hundred men and horses, carry fire starters, choose a windy night, sneak around Bo Cai's camp under the cover of night, and use the wind to set fire. You can decide the specific timing."

Zhang He looked at the ordinary young man next to him, wearing a rough linen shirt, which Liu Qing asked him to change into. If Zhang He saw him wearing a jacket and a yellow scarf, he would probably be even more surprised.

"Gan Lai, do you think that if Bocai is defeated, will he go to Yangdi? On the way to the west, we are likely to encounter reinforcements from Luoyang."

"There is nowhere to go but Yangdi. Yangdi is the seat of Yingchuan. It is the closest and has sufficient food and grass. With hundreds of thousands of people, even if half of it is lost, it will be easy to take Yangdi. If reinforcements are encountered, even though Bocai's morale is low,

But the reinforcements are also exhausted, and since Bocai is so brave, I am afraid that it is the reinforcements that will suffer."

After listening to Gan Lai's analysis, Liu Qing was a little worried about Cao Mengde, the man who frequently lost all his wealth in the early days.

"Zilong and I avoided the official road and went to Yangzhai from the south. We waited for work and waited for the enemy to be defeated. We will kill the general in this battle!"

With the little bargaining chip in Liu Qing's hand, he could only wait until Bocai was scarred and exhausted before delivering a fatal blow. Of course, he would not be scarred himself.

After the discussion, Liu Qing and Zhao Yun left, while Zhang He and Luo Gan stayed behind to wait for opportunities.

After nightfall, Luo Gan came to Zhang He and moved forward for more than ten miles again, looking for a hidden mountain col to lurk.

"General Zhang, on the official road to the west, send people to stay on guard. If you see a large group of people, come and report immediately. The fire starter must be properly kept and cannot be soaked by dew. Bocai will camp on all sides and send people to monitor it. Then our army only needs to

Wait for the opportunity."

"Sir, are we planning to burn Bocai down?" Although he didn't say it explicitly, Zhang He also inferred it.

"General, you should call me Gan Lai." Luo Ganlai bowed his hand politely, "The Yingchuan area is lush with vegetation. It is already dry this year. Coupled with the sunny weather these days, my lord has thought about it before setting off. I am really a god.

people!"

Zhang He nodded, "My lord not only foresees events in advance, but also has insight into people's hearts. It was he who reported the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the court."

Luo Ganlai was surprised that there was such a thing. Could it be that the Lord rushed from Jizhou to Yingchuan just for Bo Cai and Peng Tuo?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that my lord is unfathomable.

The next time is to wait for the opportunity.

The next day, at the head of Yangzhai City.

As the administrative seat of Yingchuan, Yangdi County has a large population and prosperous culture.

Liu Qing led more than 500 cavalry to the foot of Yangzhai City. When he saw Liu Qing coming from a distance, the gate of Yangzhai City had already been closed.

After hearing the news, the prefect Yang Biao came and saw the cavalry under the city being so neatly armed. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a mighty division, open the city!"

As long as you are not blind, you cannot mistake Liu Qing for the Yellow Turban Army.

Yingchuan's troops and horses have been almost exhausted, and now there are more than a thousand defenders in the city. Yang Biao was very happy to see Liu Qing's reinforcements.

Yang Biao came from the Hongnong Yang family. His father was the former Taiwei Yang Ci, and his son was the famous scholar Yang Xiu. Although he was young now, he was already famous for his talents. Liu Qing was deeply impressed by Yang Biao.

In the second year of Guanghe (179), when Yang Biao was serving as Jing Zhaoyin, he obtained evidence that Wang Fu, the Huangmen ordering, had previously instigated guests to extort more than 70 million yuan of property from the county and the country, so he quickly reported the matter, arrested and

Wang Fu and his followers were killed.

How should I put it? Wang Fu framed King Bohai and killed Liu Qing's family, and Yang Biao took his place and avenged him.

For him, Liu Qing only felt grateful. There were too few loyal and upright people in this court, and Yang Biao was one of them.

"I wonder what you call the general?" Yang Biao greeted Liu Qing personally and asked politely when they met.

"Don't be afraid of Governor Yang if you say my name!" Liu Qing said with a smile, "I am Liu Qing of Bohai."

"Liu Qing!" Yang Biao was still surprised, "Are you the orphan of King Bohai?"

As he said that, he looked Liu Qing up and down.

The case of that year really shocked the world. Liu Hong tacitly allowed the eunuchs to falsely accuse the King of Bohai. In the final analysis, he was afraid that he would threaten his throne. Because Emperor Huan died without an heir, many people supported Emperor Huan's half-brother Liu Kui, the King of Bohai.

His relative, Dou, took over the throne and appointed Liu Hong to the throne. Liu Hong's debauchery and immorality were seen by all the officials, so rumors of supporting Liu Kui often spread.

"Okay! King Bohai has a spirit in heaven, and you will eventually grow into a heroic talent!" Yang Biao said with a smile, his eyes full of sincerity.

Liu Qing didn't know what to say in response, so he bowed and bowed. With this salute, he thanked Wang Fu for killing him.

Yang Biao supported Liu Qing and said, "The general has worked hard all the way, and Biao wants to prepare some wine at his house to wash away the general's dust." Yang Biao's face was full of enthusiasm, and there was no trace of artificiality.

"The governor is so kind, but he is so disrespectful!"

"The general has come at the right time. Tomorrow is the Social Day. All the talents from Yingchuan will gather in Yangzhai. Now the Yellow Turban Rebellion is spreading. This is a rare event."

"I have heard for a long time that there are many talented people in Yingchuan. If you are lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the Yingchuan scholars, it will be a blessing in your life. Qing also likes to make friends with heroes."

Liu Qing also didn't expect that he would encounter such a good day.

Society Day is an event held in early February. It was first popular in rural areas. The purpose is to worship the God of Land and Grain. Because there are so many people participating in Society Day, both men and women, Society Day has gradually developed into a fixed large-scale exchange.
