Ye Qing grabbed the peach pit, and the red flame rose in her hand. The peach pit instantly turned into ashes. She breathed a sigh of relief and commanded, "Don't tell your Qianqian sister about this
Although Zhou Ling was confused, the advantage was that she did whatever Ye Qing asked her to do without saying much. At this point, she obediently nodded and remained silent.
At this moment, Qianqian is coming in.
Ye Qing looked relaxed and nodded at her with a smile, "Hello Mi Xiaoluoli, she hasn't changed for two years and has grown into a young girl. It's really gratifying
Without leaving a trace, he clapped his hands and only scattered dust on the ground.
Why are you laughing so strangely... "Qianqian frowned, looked at Ye Qing, then at Zhou Ling, sniffed, and was somewhat skeptical:" I've never been here before, you guys came here to do... Huh, what is this gray
The girl fiddled with a thin layer of dust on the ground, and there was a hint of roasted peach kernel aroma in the air, with a slight fragrance, confirming the source of the strange feeling in her heart, as if something important had just happened.
Uh... "Zhou Ling burped again, quickly covering her mouth and innocently blinking her eyes.
Steal delicious food, "Ye Qing pulled Qianqian out of the secret passage, unwilling to stay here for even a step longer.
Hmph, if you don't want to say it, then forget it... "Qianqian wrinkled her nose as if she didn't believe it. Her real sensitivity made her aware of the suspicion, but she didn't say much more. After all, it wasn't an affair. Besides, even if there was ambiguity, it wasn't an affair. Zhou Ling had already been on the list and was tacitly approving.
Didn't I ask about the fairyland in my dream? I'll tell you tonight, "Ye Qing said calmly, unconsciously holding the girl's hand tightly, just like when the fairyland in my dream took her away.
Qianqian's nervousness inexplicably eased, and she squinted her eyes and laughed.
Zhou Ling followed in confusion, feeling a bit strange about this matter, but the young master had done so many strange things that she didn't bother to think about why... But that peach tasted so good, she had never tasted such delicious peaches before.
Ye Qing paused in the courtyard in front and looked up at the sky.
Two women followed and looked up at the clouds. The night sky was full of stars, and a galaxy called "Silver Han" crossed the sky, showing a beauty and mystery that was completely different from the starry sky on the ground.
The young master really likes the appearance of the starry sky, "Zhou Ling thought to herself. Seeing Qianqian accompanying her, she went back to her room alone to rest.
As soon as I lay in bed, I felt a cool and liquid like spiritual energy surge up from my perineum. In an instant, a surge of energy swept through my bone marrow, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn and I felt a slight change in myself. Before I could concentrate on myself, I heard the sound of drumming coming from afar outside the window.
It's gathering all the generals on the campus... Oh no, I slept late! "Zhou Ling, as the captain of the guards, hurriedly rushed to the commander's tent on the campus, but was stopped by a beautiful woman like snow jade." Where are you going, Ling Ling
... Sister Gan
My husband said your current situation is special, don't go to deal with things, rest well for a few days. "Lady Gan, or Cao Baijing, stopped her and went back.
Hey... special?
Zhou Ling only then realized that there was something strange about her body. It was a feeling of the barrier being completely removed. With a flick of her long sword, the white light rose up from her sword.
Jian Shou, Nei Shi, a small pure white sword seed floating in the dantian, warming up, guarding, waiting to slay everything.
Is this a sword seed? "Zhou Ling suddenly understood, no matter how naive she was, that this was actually the entrance to the Sword Immortal Immortal. Despite its small size, this sword seed had already opened up a spirit pool inside.
This is essentially like a Dragon Ball. As soon as I thought about it, I felt a bit dazed, staring at the resolute face with a hint of white energy rising and falling in the sword seed. Is this what I want to protect in my heart?
Even at any cost
Pure white energy permeates, surpassing gold in its origin. This is the path of sword cultivation. With this type of sword, once you return to the ground and refine it, you can officially enter the threshold of Sword Immortal!
The young master is so kind to himself, and the young girl is so enlightened that she is momentarily infatuated.
The sound of military drums stopped, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood guard at the entrance of the handsome tent, both with bear and tiger like bodies, full of evil energy.
In the huge tent, the lights were shining brightly, and Ye Qing sat high on the seat of the White Tiger Marshal. At this moment, he saw that all the generals were gathered together, but only Zhang Fei and the other twenty or so who stayed in the county.
In the past two years, Zhang Liao has been appointed as an infantry captain of the Northern Army by the Empress Dowager, and has protected her several times through the palace ban crisis, gaining her deep trust.
Ye Qing took the opportunity to constantly recommend his subordinates to the Empress Dowager, and civil officials such as Xu Shu (Lv Shangjing), Xi Zhicai, and Zhuge Jin were appointed as county magistrates in Yuzhou. Zhao Yun recommended the Northern Army to Luoyang, and a group of middle and high-level generals led by Guan Yu were also allowed to go to other counties.
Wings are widely planted throughout Yuzhou, and at a glance, there is a pure white and translucent red torrent rolling on the land of Yuzhou, under one's control.
There is another declining red and yellow torrent, which overlaps and differs from our own torrent.
On oneself, there is a rich golden color, faintly nurturing a hint of blue.
In history, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Shu, and his dragon aura was only white with silk red, while he himself was only pale blue
Of course, all three countries are the same, even Wei is not pure red
This is not only due to a sharp decline in population, but also because the country was not yet established, the system was incomplete, and it relied heavily on powerful landlords, leading to a lack of vitality
Ye Qing looked at these and realized that before the Yellow Turban Uprising, although the Han Dynasty was corrupt, its dragon aura was still pale yellow, indicating that the system was deeply rooted and deeply ingrained in people's hearts.
However, whether it was Wei, Wu, or Shu, the legal system of the Three Kingdoms was far from being recognized by the people, the powerful, or the officials.
Even the Jin Dynasty later referred to him as the White Board Emperor, and the dragon aura was just white, floating on the surface.
I don't want to worry about these things for now. Anyway, with this momentum, Liu Bei's army already has the status of a vassal state, and all it lacks is the reputation of being a governor of Yuzhou
This is different from the false name of obtaining the title of Yuzhou Governor only by joining Cao Cao in history, what is needed is a real reputation.
Six months ago, Liu Bei proposed to the court that he was naturally obstructed and delayed by Dong Zhuo. However, due to the dramatic changes in Luoyang, the Empress Dowager completely lost her power and was unable to succeed.
Someone reported the news from Qiaoxian County in eastern Henan: "Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou in person, and sent Xia Houyuan and Li Dian to lead an army of 20000 troops to invade the territory of eastern Henan. At that time, all the prefectures and Supervisor of the County were on the lookout. Only Huang Zhong, the captain of Qiaoguo, said that he would take defensive measures to fight back, and attached the letter of Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian asking for help. Please read it, my lord!"
Ye Qing glanced and joked, "Look, Cao Gong is used to being stabbed by others, and he's afraid of being stabbed in the back
However, Zhang Fei was furious and said, "Big brother, I told you earlier that besides Huang Hansheng, those weaklings are unreliable
Zhou Feng, Zhang Fangbiao and others knew the governor, and they all frowned when they saw him: "These prefects and Supervisor of the County surrendered too quickly. It must be the people on the ground who led the way."
With the support of various aristocratic families, it is still advisable for the governor to occupy the entire Yanzhou early on and launch attacks everywhere. In contrast, the lord has gradually started his career in Yingchuan County in western Henan and has only controlled the entire territory of Yuzhou for less than a year. His rule in eastern Henan is very unstable, and whether Huang Zhong can hold onto Qiao County is still a question. However, with Guo Jia's presence, he will not be at a disadvantage
Zhou Feng thought to himself with a hint of confusion: "Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao have a reputation, but Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng are already middle-aged and have not had a good reputation for twenty years. Does the lord seem to value them very much? Except for local yamen and militia, all three thousand regular troops in the counties and states of eastern Henan have been entrusted to this person
Different from the concerns of the people on the ground, Zhang Fei is already asking for a fight: "Big brother, let me lead three thousand cavalry to support Han Sheng, and I will definitely defeat Cao Mengde
Ye Qing did not immediately speak up. Last year, he competed with Cao Cao in the eastern part of Henan and requested the Governor of Yuzhou from the Empress Dowager, but was rejected by Dong Zhuo. As a result, he was unsuccessful and could only serve as the Governor of Yuzhou.
The name of strong integration in this area is not enough, the military strength has only expanded to 30000, of which 5000 cavalry are mostly veterans brought from Youzhou.
If we want to use this core force, we need to use the blade. It is obvious that Cao Cao's attack in eastern Henan is just a cover, and the rescue in Xuzhou is the key
What's even more worrying is Luoyang, according to a secret report, Dong Zhuo has started relocating his belongings to Chang'an.
Bring the sand tables of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Sili! "Ye Qing waved his hand, and a few personal soldiers moved out of the rear tent, occupying four tables in the tent. The group was excited and gathered to discuss.
Dian Wei lifted the tent again and said, "The scout has reported that there is news from the Northern Army in Luoyang
Speak up
General Zilong was ordered to lead the Empress Dowager Luan on a secret crossing. When passing through Yangcheng, he sent a carrier pigeon for help. This is a letter personally presented by Zilong. Your Highness, please take a look
Ye Qing took it.
I saw ink stains on a coarse cloth, without any extravagance, only briefly describing the process——
The search in Luoyang is getting closer and closer. General Wen Yuan has assigned two hundred secret riders to welcome the Empress Dowager to the secret village in the southern suburbs of Luoyang. In order to avoid the blockade of Hulao Pass in the east, they dismounted from the new city and walked into the mountains from the south, entering the Qin Zheng Ancient Road. They are expected to return eastward through Jiahe, Liangzhai, Shuiuigou, Fuliudian, Yangling, Banpo, Dajindan and other places
The initial journey went smoothly. When passing through Yangcheng, the county magistrate of Yangcheng sent a report to Dong Zhuo. The cicada girl sent an urgent report in Luoyang. Xu Rong was ordered to lead three thousand light cavalry from Hulao Pass to intercept and prepare a crossbow to intercept the empress dowager. It is expected that he will encounter it in a day
The last sentence: "Yun Zi is not afraid of death, fearing that the Empress Dowager Luan's carriage may be lost in breaking through the chaos of the army. Therefore, one day in advance, I earnestly request the Lord to provide reinforcements
Zilong's actions are indeed meticulous and thoughtful, I am very reassured! "Ye Qing knew that leading a pampered woman to charge into the formation was far from easy to protect with a baby Adou. The most important thing was that this was not a dead end on Changban Slope, but rather had reinforcements. Zhao Yun knew there was no need to take risks.
As he spoke, he pressed down on the cloth and squinted his eyes, saying, "Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo... did they cooperate well to launch a simultaneous attack
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and some even cursed loudly, "Thief Cao
Ye Qing thought to herself that it was really Cao Gong who would never do this. Compared to the governor, he had no bottom line. Do you really think that relying on the alliance between heaven and man to set up a new stove can ignore the remaining power of the Han dynasty?
Report - General Zilong's scouts have arrived
Send scouts up
Someone came up and said, 'My lord!'
Ye Qing knew this veteran who had been following him since Youzhou. Seeing him sweating profusely, with a dusty face, and clearly rushing over one person and three horses, he said gently, "Where exactly is it
The Qin Zheng Ancient Road... "The scout was still a bit nervous, but he had received training in map recognition and was more adept at identifying on the sand table:" When I left, I was at this place, at the foot of this mountain west of Yangcheng. General Zhao had two hundred cavalry and had already abandoned Luanjia and his maidservants, only bringing the Empress Dowager and her daughter. It was expected that they would arrive at this valley and encounter the enemy - this was the 16th stronghold prepared by our army, with sufficient military reserves, even including Ye Huolei
Ye Qing's gaze narrowed as he remembered the object, but the crystal properties of the underlying soil were not dense, and it only had a reduced version effect when made. Moreover, there was only one in stock, which was only for emergency use and could not scare Xu Rong.
It's a hundred miles away from this county, so we need to start immediately... "Ye Qing straightened up and paced beside the sand table of Sili, staring intently.
On the sand table, everything appears clear and transparent. Yuzhou, or Henan, was the foundation of Zheng's dominance in the Spring and Autumn period, and there is indeed such an ancient path between Qin and Zheng in the towering mountains.
In the past, the Qin state opened up a strategic ancient road to seize the state of Zheng and form a encirclement of the Zhou dynasty, which had more value in terms of economy, transportation, and influence. However, its actual military transport capacity was limited, and there was no mention of a food route. It could only allow a small army to pass through temporarily. The advantage was that it could bypass the Sishui Pass at that time, which is now the Hulao Pass where Dong Zhuo stationed heavy troops.
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Qing made a decision: "Jian Yong, go to Xuzhou and let Tao Qian hold on for another half a month, then I can send reinforcements to Xuzhou
Yes
Zhou Feng led 3000 infantry and 2000 cavalry to support eastern Henan, with Huang Hansheng as the commander-in-chief and Guo Fengxiao as the military adviser. He told Fengxiao that he had done a good job in harassing the Cao territory this year, and he continued to praise the strategy of defeating Cao in this battle
Obey the order
Yide leads three thousand cavalry to march north to Chen Liuguo, under the command of your second brother, to attack the Henan Yin of Sili, gather troops in Hulao, and cut off Xu Rong's retreat. Ye Qing glanced at Zhang Fei, who was eager to try, and said, "Don't drink alcohol
I know, big brother. What should we do with the Empress Dowager's face
A thousand cavalry soldiers! I will personally go to pick them up
A thousand! That's too little! "Zhang Fei looked anxiously, afraid of danger.
That's enough, there's a sorcerer accompanying you, the key is your side with Yun Chang
Xu Rong, from Xuantu County, Liaodong State, Youzhou, was one of the excellent commanders in Dong Zhuo's army. He led the Western Liang Expeditionary Force and fought for two years before forcing him out of Hulao Pass. Ye Qing knew that Xu Rong would later defeat Cao Cao and Sun Jian one after another, and this kind of commander must have known the risks of this trip. It was mostly the result of Dong Hei's pressure from above.
I remember when Xu Rong died in battle, it was Wang Yunqiang who ordered him to lead the new soldiers into battle.
Not afraid of enemies like gods, but afraid of teammates like pigs.
The good opportunity must not be missed! "Ye Qing glanced at the tent and saw that Zhang Fei was still worried, so she deliberately said," Since my fellow villager from Youzhou has come out, you must take care of him and not let him go back easily
All the generals burst into laughter.
