Chapter 295 The Coming Calm
On the official road, the big crimson flag fluttered in the wind, and the cavalry, with great momentum, quickly passed the boundary of Qingxu County and marched towards Jinyang City.
At this moment, several people dressed as Confucian scholars suddenly appeared in front of the road, blocking the way of the army.
Lu Li, who was riding on the horse, looked slightly sideways. He had seen these people beside Ding Gong. They were said to be counselors. There are too few capable scholars, and they are not as good as Yingchuan and Xiangyang.
"General Lu, we have something to report to our lord, please let me go."
The leader bowed to Lu Li.
Hearing this, Lu Li, who went back to his old job and became General Yamen, nodded and waved his horsewhip.
The guards step aside one after another to let the counselors pass.
"Ding Gong, we have been searching for traces of the remnants of the Taiping Dao that have not been found so far!"
In fact, Ding Yuan was sitting in the sedan chair beside him, so the voice reached Lu Li's ears, and he immediately regained his energy.
The battle the day before yesterday was always a bit anticlimactic, and the mysterious Taiping Dao high-gong master did not make a move at the critical moment. You must know that Lu Bu was very afraid of his thunder. If they made a timely move, the Yellow Turban Army would not be defeated so quickly. .
"Disappeared?"
"That's right, we followed the breath to catch up to Tianjingguan..."
Crossing the border is a taboo of the imperial court. After crossing the Tianjing Pass, going south is the Sili Xiaowei Department. Although it is not under the foot of the emperor, it also belongs to Kinki. What do the border officials want to go there without an order?
If it is true, this crime is much more serious than what Lu Li did when he hunted down and killed King Gu Li, and it is easy to be criticized as - conspiracy.
Therefore, Ding Yuan did not blame him, and after a long sigh, he said helplessly: "If this is the case, then report it to the imperial court."
Anyway, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Bingzhou has been suppressed, and there will be no disturbances in three to five years. At that time, it is still uncertain who will be in charge of Bingzhou——
It is estimated that it will not be long before the emperor's envoy will come to read the edict: don't drive Ding Yuan to succeed the governor.
And he plans to stay in this position for a while, accumulate some qualifications, and then go to Luoyang. Isn't Sangong Jiuqing more noble than the governor of a state?
Of course, these are Ding Yuan's inner thoughts, which are not known to outsiders.
When Lu Li heard that the Taoists on Taiping Road had left the Tingjing Pass, he guessed a possibility:
Go south to make trouble.
At first, they thought that Bingzhou was the easiest place to attack. There were Huns, Xiutuge, and Qiang people outside, and believers in Xihe County inside. Good bones to gnaw.
However, the result was completely contrary to the expectation. Although the Bingzhou Army had a small number of soldiers, they won the battle because of the strong generals. Who would have thought that they could move thousands of miles within a few days and easily eradicate all internal and external troubles.
In this case, these people can only choose to go to other prefectures and counties, such as Xuzhou and Qingzhou.
For the Taoists of Taiping Road, there are many believers in these two places, coupled with the sturdy folk customs, as long as they are guided a little, they will become the main force to shake the Han Dynasty.
When Zhang Jiao was alive, that is, the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban believers in these two states launched an uprising, but the scale was not large, and they were easily suppressed by the army. But it was not because there were not many believers, on the contrary, the great virtuous In fact, the teacher had placed high hopes on Qing and Xu Erzhou.
The reason why he ended up that way is actually very simple. Before the incident, there was a rebellious boy, Qushuai Tang Zhou in Jinan, Qingzhou, who was not firm enough in his beliefs. He reported to the court for personal prosperity and wealth.
After the governor knew about this, without a word, he secretly recruited troops and arrested people directly according to the list. When the day came, the believers found that Shangfeng was gone and lost their leader. storm.
However, temporary silence does not mean eternal silence. With Guo Tai as a spark, all the Yellow Turbans who have been lurking to recuperate will surely follow suit. Coupled with the group of Taiping Dao high-gong masters who went south, Qingxu Erzhou may be about to erupt. up.
"It's a pity that the Han law stipulates that officials in various states are not allowed to leave without an edict."
Not long after the war, Lu Li wanted to make money again, but he just thought about it. The next thing he had to do was to polish his combat skills and wait for the emperor to die next year and the princes to gather in Luoyang.
As for what the lord thinks, it is nothing more than stationing soldiers and marrying daughters.
In other words.
The situation in Bingzhou is stable, and the people are peaceful and worry-free, but other states and counties will be different, and will become turbulent. Those students scattered all over the world will come on stage and work hard to accumulate strength and influence.
"Duke should go to seek refuge with Uncle Liu Huang, he is his idol."
There was nothing else going on, Lu Li secretly thought about the current situation of his two brothers in his heart.
One of them had a target, so it was not difficult to guess his whereabouts, but the other was different. Pan Ming never said who he would take refuge in.
Could it be that you want to go it alone and be a prince all the way?
The odds are slim.
Right now, there is only one way to make meritorious service, to destroy the Yellow Turban bandits, but Liu Bei started his career by fighting the Yellow Turban, from a peddler who weaves straw sandals to a county captain in Anxi, and then followed his senior brother Gongsun Zan to sneak into the coalition army.
With the help of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei has only become a county captain, let alone Pan Ming who is fighting alone?
Along the way, no one noticed that General Yamen Lu Li was distracted. The soldiers continued to go north, crossed several counties, and arrived at Jinyang, the seat of Taiyuan County that evening.
All battalions built military camps one after another, set up troops, buried pots and cooked food, the smell of chicken and pigs wafted several miles away, and the generals hurriedly explained the matter and went directly to the city with Ding Gong.
Counting the time, the general Zhao who went to the stone building to break the enemy's back should also be back, and this means that the celebration banquet can begin.
Sure enough, as soon as the sun set, Zhao Yun led a team of pro-army and chased to Jinyang City with two heads in their hands.
When he met Ding Gong, he did not hide anything, and explained how many enemies he had killed, how many prisoners he had taken, how to arrange the prisoners of war, and the process of fighting the enemy generals.
When Lu Li opened the wooden box and saw the heads of two old classmates, Zhou Tian and Du Quan, he couldn't help laughing, wishing to record this scene forever.
As the saying goes, Liangzi gets deeper and deeper.
At the beginning, there were no conflicts, but from the third story world, perhaps the principal deliberately arranged, these two guys have been against themselves, also known as: villain professionals.
It stands to reason that it's just acting, and it's fine to play any role you get, but there are huge benefits mixed in, and the feeling is instantly different.
In addition, the so-called acting is different from the conventional understanding. Every character you meet has its own personality and thoughts, just like a real world, no, they are!
Thinking of the death of his lieutenant Zhang Zhao without a whole body, Lu Li's indignation couldn't be calmed down for a long time. He just waited until the dinner was over, and the next day he took the heads of Zhou and Du to pay homage to each other.
