Chapter Thirty-Seven: Meng De's Epiphany

Everyone looked at him, including Guo Jia and Xun Yu who were in the back seats.

Because of Bo Cai's defeat, although they were witnesses, they had not seen how Liu Qing planned it. Now that he had different opinions, he would naturally share his own ideas.

"The scale of this battle is very large. Although the Yellow Turban Army was killed by tens of thousands, they also lost tens of thousands. They will gather again in a few days and be led by those square-headed commanders. Even if they dare not attack the county town, they will occupy the mountain as king and plunder.

Officials say, so the rebellion in Yingchuan has not yet subsided." Liu Qing paused as he spoke, letting everyone digest.

Among them, Yang Biao was the most recognized. After all, it was under his rule that Liu Qing defeated Bo Cai and captured 20,000 people. The Changshe fire destroyed countless people. If all Yingchuan troops were transferred to Nanyang, Yingchuan would undoubtedly burn again.

Start the fire of war.

Liu Qing continued: "The Nanyang Yellow Turbans have occupied Wan County and have made no further progress since then. Moreover, the imperial court has appointed a new Nanyang Governor Qin Jie, and Jingzhou Governor Xu Qiu (qiú). Huben Zhonglang will make three arrangements with Yuan Shu.

Bu Si of Dongjun has conquered the city and its influence is gradually increasing, so the imperial court may ask General Huangfu and General Zhu to divide their forces, with General Huangfu rushing to assist Dongjun, while General Zhu will clear out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan, Chen and Runan."

Huangfusong and Zhu Jun looked at each other and nodded slightly, indicating that what Liu Qing said was very possible.

Cao Cao fell into deep thought. After Liu Qing became the King of Bohai, he had never heard of his name for many years. Unexpectedly, after the Yellow Turban, he came out of nowhere. Not only did he defeat the enemy's army and kill the enemy chiefs, but he could also see the patterns of various places and the arrangements of the court.

Such clarity and vision are extraordinary for human beings.

How did he do it at such a young age?

I think Cao Mengde had no ambition. He served as Yilang for more than three years. He repeatedly wrote letters and remonstrances, asking His Majesty to denounce evil and evil. Unfortunately, he had little success. He gradually became discouraged. The Han Dynasty was so corrupt. How could it be corrected?

However, after seeing what Liu Qing did, a new idea sprouted in his mind. Liu Qing was able to introduce himself as an orphan who was not welcomed by the court. He recruited his own volunteers and went around to conquer the Yellow Turbans. He repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and finally finally

Becoming a guest of a noble family, famous and talented people would be willing to follow him, and even the high officials of the imperial court would rely on him...

However, who would have expected that no one would dare to mention the name Liu Qing in the imperial court, but in this state and county, he would be like a fish in water.

Why can't Cao Mengde do it?

Although the Cao family has a bad reputation after being a eunuch, there is still a lingering shadow from the ancestors. The Cao family's children also have many young talents, and they also have the support of the Xiahou family. Why not take the opportunity of slaying the Yellow Turbans to improve the Cao family's bad reputation and make Cao Mengde's name famous in the world?

All over the world?

Compared with those who are seeking fame, he can also be the last to arrive!

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said: "What the young master said has a big picture. I want to report to the court and lead troops to Dongjun to quell the chaos."

When Liu Qing heard what Cao Cao said, he immediately felt interesting that the butterfly effect of history was about to begin again.

Historically, after Cao Cao ended the Yingchuan War, he should have returned to the court and resumed his duties, and then moved to the post of Jinan Prime Minister, replacing Xun Yu. His administration was as before, punishing the powerful and investigating corruption, and he established a "political and religious power, and a county was peaceful."

” good reputation.

"What do you think, young master?" Cao Cao suddenly asked, seeking Liu Qing's opinion.

Liu Qing thought to himself: How could I know? After all, Cao Cao's army could be wiped out at every turn in his early campaigns. I can't say for sure! But since he asked, it wouldn't be good if he didn't say anything.

Liu Qing said: "I think what General Cao said is advisable. As for the basis, why not ask Wen Ruo to talk about it!"

Xun Yu:???

"Wen Ruo, do you have the same opinion as me?" Liu Qing said.

Xun Yu was very helpless. This was the second time that his lord had chased him into a fight. The last time he was in Yutai, he wanted to discuss a plan to break the wave, so he was chased into a fight. This time he did it again!

"My opinion is the same as my lord!"

Xun Yu came to the conclusion first, but his words "Lord" immediately aroused the imagination of everyone present. The Xun family is a famous family, and its children naturally want to promote their talents to become officials. Moreover, how can a scholar be willing to be inferior to others? Moreover, this person is currently

He has no official title, and only has the false name of a Han clan clan member.

"General Cao's petition will be accepted by the court. I think there are three benefits to quelling the rebellion in Dongjun. First, assisting General Huangfu will give a greater chance of winning. When Bu Si's main force is destroyed, General Huangfu will go to Jizhou to quell the rebellion. The remaining Yanzhou, General Cao

It’s more than enough to deal with them, it’s a benefit, it benefits the country and the people!”

"Wherever the Yellow Turban Army went, they burned, killed, and looted, and accumulated a lot of military supplies. They also took many refugees hostage. General Cao could collect the supplies and use them for military purposes. He also collected surrendered troops to strengthen his military power. This is the second step.

Benefit, benefit the army and fight."

"I heard that the general is from the Pei State of Yanzhou. For the general, this battle is not only a battle to quell the chaos, but also a battle to protect the hometown and the people. The name of Cao Mengde will be resounded throughout the land of Yanzhou. This is the three benefits, fame and fortune.

Cao!"

Cao Cao listened to each sentence and felt that each sentence was deafening and enlightening. He never thought that he just said an impulsive statement, and Master Liu Qing actually agreed with his views, and even his staff analyzed the truth clearly.

These two people have such clear minds, no wonder they can come up with a clever plan to attack Bo Cai with fire.

"After hearing what you said, I suddenly became enlightened, so I started drafting the memorial. Mr. Boci, please lend me a pen and ink!"

Cao Cao left the table directly, leaving everyone speechless. They all said that Meng De was a willful and dissolute man, and everyone had seen it today.

Xun's banquet was just a formality. It was nothing more than getting to know new people and discussing some things related to everyone. It could not be regarded as a feast, so Liu Qing was still very hungry.

The joint attack on Nanyang was not agreed upon, and the final result was that everyone was preparing troops and horses while waiting for Luoyang's order.

Liu Qing was invited to stay in Xun's Mansion. When he entered the house, he asked Xun Yu to find some food to satisfy his hunger. Soon, a circle of people gathered around a large table. Because there were mostly discussions at the table, neither the host nor the guests ate.

Xi had no choice but to accompany him and listen.

Except for Guo Jia, these guys are already full of food and wine.

Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and Luo Ganlai gathered together.

"Come on, come on, we are all hungry, sit down and eat together!" Liu Qing sat cross-legged in front of the case and said to everyone.

Everyone was really hungry, and they didn't show any pretense. They all ate with Liu Qing, except Guo Jia who watched.

Zhao Yun ate a piece of cake and suddenly said: "Lord, all the injured soldiers have been sent to the hospital for treatment. Our army lost 12 cavalrymen in this battle. Among them, the imperial guard Chen Hai was seriously injured and died, and 20 war horses were lost.

Seven horses captured more than 20,000 enemy troops and countless weapons. It was just a matter of food for more than 20,000 people..."

"Don't worry, Zilong, leave the food to me!" Xun Yu took the words directly.

Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, look! Look! What is a capable minister?

When he was in Yuxian County, he had to personally negotiate with the nobles to borrow food, land, and arrange for surrendering troops. But here, Xun Yu said a word, and he had no worries, and he believed that Xun Yu would definitely handle it better than him!
