Chapter Thirty-Six: Banquet Liu Qing and Three Generals Are Surprised

If it was not Cao Cao who set the fire, the only one who might be present was Liu Qing.

Before Liu Qing could speak, a servant suddenly ran in and called: "Master, there is a soldier outside the door, his surname is Zhang He, and he claims to be Mr. Liu Qing."

When Liu Qing heard this, he said, "My Jun Yi is here!" He immediately got up and went to greet him.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Since they were his soldiers, why did they go to greet him in person?

Cao Cao looked at Liu Qing's back and thought about the people behind Liu Qing's banquet. He thought thoughtfully: Such a polite and virtuous corporal, no wonder he has so many followers!

"Wen Ruo, if my prediction is correct, the Lord should have gone to meet the person who set fire to the Changsha Shrine." Guo Jiadao.

Xun Yu smiled and said nothing. When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately looked over and said, "What do you mean by what you two said, that the person who set the Changshe on fire is really the son of the prince?"

Xun Yu glanced at Cao Cao and saw that he had slender eyes, long beard, and bright eyes. He thought that this man must be a person of one kind. "What Feng Xiao said should be speculated, not counted."

Cao Cao squinted at Guo Jia again and saw that he was drinking alone, looking like he was enjoying himself. He thought to himself that this person was really interesting, and he himself would be like this sometimes.

Liu Qing brought Zhang He and Luo Ganlai into the house and smiled at everyone, "The ones who made the greatest contribution in the battle with Bocai were Junyi and Ganlai. The enemies we killed were only deserters and defeated them. Bocai was defeated." , it still has to be attributed to the fire.”

Liu Qing's words stunned the hosts and guests. Cao Mengde denied that he set the fire, but Liu Qing said that he set the fire. Doesn't that mean Liu Qing set the fire himself?

He was the one who killed Bo Cai, and he was the one who started the fire at Changshe. It can be said that he was responsible for defeating Bo Cai. Liu Qing was right in what he said, they only defeated deserters and defeated generals.

"Young Master's military skills are like a god. Song admires him. He relieved the siege of Changshe. It is a blessing for Gongwei and I to survive. I will faithfully report to the court and perform meritorious service for Young Master. Come, please drink this wine to the full!" Huangfu Songju! He stood up and Zhu Jun followed silently.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then raised his wine and said, "Although Cao is a few years older, he is far inferior to Cao Cao when it comes to using troops. You are truly a role model for our generation!"

"Generals, sit down and have a drink!" Liu Qing sat back with a smile and drank the wine in one gulp.

It's a pity that it's too bland and not satisfying at all. If you have some free time, you'll have to figure out how to make wine on your own.

"Young Master is young and promising, and he also has strong generals in his hands. I wonder how many troops he has now?"

"There are only six hundred cavalry." Liu Qing said truthfully.

What! Six hundred! Everyone was shocked. Even if they were deserters, there were only twenty or thirty thousand in that wave. How did six hundred cavalry wipe out the Yellow Turbans?

Especially Cao Cao, he had a thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry, but they were all smashed to pieces by Bocai's deserters. When he heard that Liu Qing killed Bocai with only 600, his hands holding the food trembled.

"These generals have never seen Master Liu Qing's bravery. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."

"Mr. Xun, please tell me carefully how brave you are!" Cao Cao urged.

"This morning, I got up early and heard the sound of the golden bell at the top of the east city. I went to check, but I saw Mr. Liu Qing already standing at the top of the city. At the end of the line of sight outside the city, Bocai's army slowly approached. Then, the heads of each family came to Everyone came, including Governor Yang. The Golden Bell alerted us and also alerted the Yellow Turbans lurking in the city. They gathered nearly five hundred people and launched an uprising!"

"There are so many elaborate works in the city!" Cao Cao was shocked and looked at Yang Biao in disbelief.

Xun Jian continued: "The troops defending the city were limited. The Yellow Turbans made a careful attack on the city gate, intending to meet Bo Cai. In a dilemma, Master Liu Qing actually led sixteen of his own soldiers to line up in a row and blocked the Yellow Turbans."

Xun Jian suddenly stopped because he knew they might not believe what he was going to say next.

"Then what? Could it be that Mr. Liu Qing and his personal guards bought precious time for the defenders to arrive?" Cao Cao speculated.

"No, the young master and his bodyguards worked together to kill all the Yellow Turban craftsmen, not a single one was left alive."

"Ah?" Cao Cao, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun said at the same time, which was incredible.

Seventeen people killed five hundred people. The three tried their best to imagine the scene, but they couldn't imagine it no matter what. However, those who had seen that scene still had a trace of shock on their faces when they recalled it.

"Afterwards, without taking any rest, the young master led sixteen cavalry out of the city and rushed towards Bocai's formation. The cavalry that the young master had arranged earlier also attacked from behind Bocai, flanking him."

"Ah?!" The three of them felt incredible.

With seventeen cavalry on one side and five hundred cavalry on the other, can we call it a pincer attack against more than 20,000 people?

Xun Jian continued: "We were so far apart that we couldn't see clearly what was happening in the formation. All we saw was that the young master rushed straight into the formation and soon came back with Bo Cai's head."

"Ah!!" The three people habitually exclaimed in unison, as if they were numb!

Xun Jian only described it in a few words, but this was completely unimaginable. However, Bo Cai's head was actually hanging on the top of the east city, which made people have to believe it!

The three generals were silent, each with their own thoughts.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were ordered by the emperor to quell the chaos. They thought very simply that Liu Qing's resourcefulness, bravery, and combat effectiveness would be a great help in breaking the Yellow Turban!

However, Cao Cao only temporarily became the Cavalry Commander and was ordered to assist Changshe. It can be said that his mission has been completed.

But when he saw Liu Qing, he thought of his past, and many thoughts came to his mind, but he couldn't say what they were for the moment.

Later, the three of them all thought of the same thing, that is, Liu Qing must be involved in breaking the Yellow Turban!

Huangfu Song took the lead and said: "Young Master's bravery is rare in the world. Song is deeply impressed by it, so I have a heartless invitation."

"General Huangfu just says it's okay!" Liu Qing said.

"Bocai has been defeated. Our army will march west to Nanyang to encircle and suppress Zhang Mancheng's troops. However, our army has gone through the battle with Bocai and may not be strong enough. I hope you can help me."

Wan County has fallen, and I can't help even if I want to. I can't let my cavalry attack the city.

But Liu Qing still said, "It is our duty to exterminate the Yellow Turbans, but the few hundred cavalry under my command and the height of Wan County are high, so I'm afraid they won't be able to help much."

"If the young master goes, we might be able to come up with some strategies to destroy the city!" Zhu Jun said loudly, "I would like to write to the court to express my merits for the young master and ask the court to allocate some troops and horses to you."

"Alas!" Cao Cao suddenly sighed.

"Why does Mengde sigh?"

"The court is under the control of the eunuchs, and now you can't enter even if you are loyal! Liu Qing beheaded Peng Tuo and presented his head to Luoyang. Zhang Miao and Zhang Su were all promoted to high positions, but Liu Qing alone received no reward!"

"Bang!" Zhu Jun slapped the table and stood up, "The ten constant servants deceived the saints, and we fought with blood. Why?"

"Gongwei, calm down!" Cao Cao said, "We should send the battle report and Bo Cai's head to Luoyang overnight to express our great achievements. At the same time, we will start to prepare troops and horses to march into Nanyang as soon as possible. Chu Gong, the prefect of Nanyang, has been killed by Zhang Mancheng. The new governor is Qin Jie, the captain of Jiangxia, who is on his way to Nanyang, and the court's new Huben Zhonglang general Yuan Shu is also recruiting troops in Nanyang."

"What Meng De said is absolutely true! From this point of view, including the reinforcements from Jingzhou, our army also has an advantage in the battle of Nanyang!" Huangfu Song agreed.

The two analyzed it together and felt that Nanyang had a good chance of winning, but at this time, Liu Qing spoke.
