"My lord, a letter from the magistrate of Ju County."

In the military tent, Ban Ming handed a wrapped silk book to Liu Qing.

After following Liu Qing for many years, Ban Ming also had a basic idea about the operation of the company. In the past few days, he built a branch in Puyang to collect information in the name of doing business. Puyang is the seat of Dongjun, and also the jurisdiction of Yanzhou and Jizhou.

In the junction area, its gateway is Baima Jin in Baima County, which is one of the few large ferries on the river.

Liu Qing read the letter and found that there was not much in it. It basically related to the war in Jizhou. Lu Zhi was still besieging Guangzong. Counting the time, it was almost half a month ago. During this period, Liu Qing moved from Chenliu to Yingchuan and then to the war.

Dongjun has only been in the past twenty days. Seeing that other roads are progressing smoothly, the emperor may not have the patience to wait for Lu Zhi's "siege that will last for three months."

After Huangfusong brought the news of Dongjun's victory to the court, Liu Hong would probably be eager to replace Lu Zhi and let Huangfusong take over.

Cao Shao disappeared, and Huangfu Song temporarily took over the position of prefect. Before he was promoted, he was the prefect of a county, and he handled official affairs in an orderly manner. On the one hand, he selected new officials to replenish the county seat that Bu Si had invaded. On the other hand, he sent

Fu Xie led his troops across the river and wiped out the Yellow Turbans north of the river.

Cao Cao, on the other hand, led his troops into Jiyin County and wiped out the remaining Yellow Turbans in the county. Along the way, he recruited volunteers and collected surrendered troops. The size of his army soon returned to four thousand.

There was another important piece of information in the letter that attracted Liu Qing's attention. Cheng Zhiyuan led his troops northward, attacking the city along the way. Now they have occupied Zhang He's hometown of Mo County, and are approaching Youzhou infinitely. The first to bear the brunt is Zhuo County.

There was chaos inside Youzhou. At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Yellow Turban Army in Guangyang attacked and killed Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, and Liu Wei, the prefect of Guangyang. It could be said to be a hellish start. Although there were many frontier troops in Youzhou, those

The troops were stationed at the border fortresses, and the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes would go south to plunder the border residents whenever they had the opportunity.

That is to say, Zhang Jiao did not pay much attention to Youzhou, and there was no large-scale Yellow Turban riot. The prefects of each county recruited rebels and barely maintained the situation.

Now that Cheng Zhiyuan is gone, once this balance is broken, some people may not be able to sit still, such as powerful butchers who are ready to make a move, handicraft practitioners with hard ambitions, or wanted criminals on the run, who will feel that they have redeemed themselves.

The opportunity to change your destiny has arrived.

Maybe they would meet by chance at the market on a sultry afternoon, and it happened to rain heavily, so they took shelter in the butcher's house...

After all, March is coming and the peach blossoms are about to bloom.

Liu Qing put away the letter and looked at the north for a long time, thinking of a bitter past.

When he was sixteen years old, he actually went to Zhuo County. He wanted to make a good friend with the Zhuo County butchers and build a good relationship before the Yellow Turban. Unfortunately, his ideals were full and the reality was very skinny.

I have met Zhang Fei, and he is indeed a person who likes to make friends with heroes.

But the leopard-headed and ring-eyed thief’s definition of a hero is that he can fight!

If you can beat him! Even if the score is 50-50, you are called a hero!

Zhang Fei, who is in his early twenties, has a strength of 94, while Liu Qing, who has not yet begun to conquer and accumulate attributes, has a total attribute of 60. In Zhang Fei's eyes, he is just an ordinary person with mediocre appearance, mediocre strength, unknown origins, evil intentions, and trying to gain access to powerful people.

passers-by.

An awkward meeting made Liu Qing frustrated. After all, Zhang Fei was not impressed by his sincerity, so Liu Qing changed his strategy and went back to Zhao Yun.

One day, I will come back! When leaving Zhuojun, Liu Qing said these words.

Now, his martial power is as high as 83 points, but this is not the key. The key is that his reputation as a Yellow Turban will spread to Zhuo County, which will definitely make Zhang Fei admire him and be fascinated by him. Then he will sell his property and bring money to join the group!

Hope it's not too late.

"Ban Ming, go into the city and go to that building to call Feng Xiao and Gan Lai back."

"Here!" Ban Ming replied and left.

"By the way, how much did that house cost?" Liu Qing suddenly asked.

"Lord, four thousand six hundred yuan. Because the courtyard wall is newly rammed, it is a bit more expensive than other places. But because of the Yellow Turban siege, a full thousand yuan was reduced. We can still count it as missing, but what's the matter?

inappropriate?"

"No, you go ahead!"

I just pay attention to the price out of habit.

As soon as Ban Ming left, an announcement suddenly came from outside the door, "My lord, General Huangfu is here and has entered the camp gate."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing immediately got up and went to greet him. As soon as he left the camp, he saw Huangfu Song coming over.

"Young Master!" Huangfusong bowed his hands respectfully. Now in his heart, Liu Qing is a true Han clan member. He is not worthy of anyone else!

"General Huangfu! Please come in!" Liu Qing returned the greeting.

The two of them entered the tent and sat down. Huangfu Song said straight to the point, "Song came here this time to discuss something important."

"General Huangfu just says it's okay!"

"There is an urgent report from the north bank of the river. The magistrate of Fanyang County in Wei County is rushing to ask for help. There is a Yellow Turban Army in the east of Wei County, about 8,000 people, and they are going up Zhangshui with the intention of attacking Fanyang. He has sent a message to General Lu Zhonglang asking for help.

, when he heard that our army had a great victory in Puyang, which was only across a river from Fanyang, he also sent me a letter asking for help."

"Fanyang? Zhangshui?" Liu Qing felt familiar. "Is it the place where the overlord of Western Chu burned his boats in the past?"

"It is true that at this place, when the Qin army invaded the state of Zhao, Xiang Yu, the general of Chu, left Fanyang, crossed the Zhang River to the north, destroyed the cauldron and the boat, and defeated the Qin army. He not only relieved Zhao Wei, but also saved Fanyang." Huangfu Song.

Obviously he is familiar with history.

After all, it's not far enough away, and Liu Qing has been away from that period of history for more than two thousand years.

"Then General Huangfu means..."

"Song is now acting as the prefect and cannot escape. I can allocate the young master five thousand troops and horses, and ask the young master to go to support me. With the young master's bravery, the Yellow Turbans will definitely defeat Zhangshui!"

"General Huangfu trusts me so much, so you are not afraid that I will not come back with my army?" Liu Qing said with a smile.

"What did the young master say? Song admired the young master the most in his life. Otherwise, how could he trust him with such a big thing?"

Liu Qing thought about it and realized that he had originally planned to cross the river north to return to Jizhou tomorrow. It seemed that he was about to leave today. As for the Yellow Turbans, he happened to be hunting rabbits on the way.

Huangfu Song's army can be dispensed with, but his food and fodder can be considered.

"General Huangfu, since he is rescuing Fanyang, it is my duty to do so. However, it is a serious crime to recruit troops privately. How could this happen? If Shi Changshi knew about it, it would probably destroy the general's wisdom."

As soon as Liu Qing reminded him, Huangfu Song suddenly realized that this was really the case. Keep an eye on the front and keep an eye on the rear.

"How about this. I will lead my volunteer troops there. General Huangfu only needs to pay me for food and grass. Although there is still some food and grass in my camp, after the Yellow Turbans are calmed down, I plan to distribute it to these brothers who have been through life and death. After all, the volunteers

It's not as good as the Chinese army, which has food and pay."

When Huangfu Song heard this, he fell silent.
