Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 19 Chen Liu's Battle Report is a Good News

The third day of Liu Qing's absence.

In front of the guqin, Cai Yan sat blankly, unable to take the slightest interest in playing the qin, as if there was no audience, and even the beautiful qin sound lost its meaning.

Holding a sword in his arms, the general accidentally left it here.

There is also a word engraved on the body of the sword: Royal Bohai King Sword.

This is the sword of Liu Kui, King of Bohai, the wronged younger brother of the former emperor. It is said that he is loved by the people under his rule. When they heard the news of his suicide, the people were all sorry.

So, this general from Jizhou is the son of King Bohai?
A sense of loss flashed in Cai Yan's heart inexplicably, he was a clan member of the Han family, and she was the daughter of a criminal minister.

"Miss, the sun is so bright, you are so bored in the room!" A voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Hearing this, Cai Yan quickly put the sword aside, and took a scroll of silk books.

It was Xingzhi who came back. He was dismissed by Cai Yan, but when he found out that Cai Yan was fine, he searched for all the dismissed servants and came back.

Xingzhi entered the room, glanced at Cai Yan, and then at the sword beside him.

"Miss, the silk book is reversed."

Only then did Cai Yan realize that she blushed immediately and switched it back.

Xingzhi smiled, although she didn't know the origin of the sword, she knew that Miss didn't like swords before.

This sword must have a background!

While setting up the window for ventilation, she said: "The peach blossoms in the south of the city are blooming. This year is a warm spring, and the farmers have already started to replant the light fields."

After finishing speaking, she frowned, the young lady didn't seem to be listening!
"Miss?"

Cai Yan recovered and looked at Xingzhi suspiciously.

"In February last year, you always ran out and couldn't be stopped. What's the matter now?" Xingzhi felt very distressed.

As Cai Yan's personal maid since she was a child, she always asked questions directly.

"Xingzhi, go to the city gate to see if there is an army coming to Yu County."

"Army, is it the Yellow Turban Army? No way, it's coming again. By the way, miss, how did you escape, can you tell Xingzhi?"

Cai Yan didn't want to talk, and didn't want to listen to others, and even felt that Xingzhi, who was cute before, was a little noisy.

Why did she suddenly feel that way? She wasn't like this before.

"Xingzhi, go get busy, I have to practice calligraphy."

……

Luoyang, the imperial palace.

"Come on, let me teach you, this is horizontal..."

In the south hall, Liu Hong hugged the maid with one arm, pinched her hand with the other, and taught stroke by stroke in front of a large table.

Every time he writes a stroke, his other hand will do the same on the maid.

"This is vertical!" He said, digging it from top to bottom.

"This is a hook..."

Before Liu Hong could make a move, a figure in the corridor ran over tremblingly.

"Your Majesty — Your Majesty —"

In words, panicked.

Liu Hong saw that it was Zhang Changshi.

"Zhang Changshi, why are you panicking?" Liu Hong said displeased, obviously very dissatisfied with the latter for ruining his elegance.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Jun has been defeated and has retreated to the Changsha. Bocai is about to lead an army to besiege the city. The situation is very critical. Your Majesty, please send rescue troops quickly!"

With a "pop", the brush in Liu Hong's hand fell to the ground, splashing a streak of ink.

"Why is this! Why is this?" Liu Hong pushed the maid away with trembling hands, "Hurry up and call the court meeting!"

Seeing Liu Hong panicked, Zhang Rang quickly comforted him, "Your Majesty, all officials are already waiting for Your Majesty."

"Okay, let's go quickly."

Just as Liu Hong took a step, he suddenly felt in a trance, and his eyes suddenly went dark.

"Your Majesty, are you okay!" The maid quickly supported him, but Liu Hong pushed him away.

"Don't spoil my big business!"

As he spoke, he staggered over by himself.

Above the court hall, all the officials were silent and lifeless.

No one is willing to touch Liu Hong's bad luck. After Ma Yuanyi's death, Liu Hong's behavior is the same as before, as if Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi have the winning ticket.

Liu Hong was obsessed with women in the harem, completely ignoring the government affairs, and the affairs of the court were almost all taken care of by Zhang Rang and his servants.

He even publicly declared: Zhang Changshi is my father and Zhao Changshi is my mother.

The eunuch without a descendant has a child, the emperor who died has a father and mother, and they love each other, a comedy in the world.

However, whenever there was bad news, Liu Hong felt as if his body had been hollowed out. At this time, he would only think of Baiguan.

"Huangfusong and Zhu Jun are besieged, please tell me what to do!" Liu Hong said urgently.

General He Jin stepped forward, "At this moment, we can only send troops to support, but there are no more troops in the court."

"How about calling the frontier troops back to the defense?" Liu Hong suggested.

He Jin couldn't help but shudder when he heard that, and called the frontier army back to defend. What kind of brain can come up with such an idea.

He, a butcher, understands this truth, no matter what happens at the border, there is no room for loss.

"Your Majesty, I propose to worship Cao Mengde as the captain of cavalry, and lead the army to rescue Yingchuan."

"Prelude!"

"Report-"

As soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, a new report came from outside the hall, and his heart, which was slightly relaxed, tightened again.

"Nanyang County Military News: Zhang Mancheng's troops have captured Wan County, and the prefect Chu Gong died in battle."

"Report-"

"Northern Zhonglang General Lu Zhi's Army Report: A rebellion broke out in Yuyang, the governor of Youzhou, Guo Xun, and the prefect of Guangyang were killed. Zhuojun is in a hurry, and the battle in Jizhou is in a hurry. Although there is a small victory, it may be difficult to win quickly. Please allocate food and grass for support."

"Support, support, support, support everything! I don't want them!" Liu Hong was furious. He casually picked up a roll of bamboo slips and threw them at the informer.

"Just tell them to report the funeral directly!"

"Is there any more? Busi has occupied Dongjun, and Chugong has lost Nanyang. Are there other places? Report them all together. If you are so angry, forget it!"

Liu Hong shouted, and threw the remaining few scrolls of bamboo slips towards His Highness.

The messenger prostrated himself on the ground, not hiding, and let the bamboo slips fall on him.

"What do you want from me? Say it!"

"If you want me to let go of the party ban, I will let you go. If you want to recruit troops, I agree. The three generals will go out to fight. Why can't the mere refugees be able to deal with it? How can the majesty of the court exist?"

"What face do you have to stand above this court! What face do you have to say that you are a Hanchen!"

"Trash! I see you are all trash!"

All the officials were silent, and the court became Liu Hong's one-man show.

"Zuo Feng!"

"The servant is here." The eunuch knelt beside him.

"I will appoint you as the governor of Jizhou, go to Jizhou to inspect the military situation, and urge Lu Zhi to fight!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

"Yuan Kui!"

"The old minister is here." Yuan Kui came out.

"Confer Yuan Shu as Huben Zhonglang General, immediately recruit soldiers and horses to quell the chaos in Nanyang!"

"The old minister took over the order for the highway."

"Whoever has a strategy to defeat the enemy, and talents to defeat the enemy, recommend them all!" Liu Hong's voice was very rare and full of energy.

It was not the officials who responded to him, but the people outside the hall.

"Report-"

Liu Hong's complexion changed immediately, including that of all the officials.

Liu Hong's anger has just dissipated, and he has made corresponding arrangements. He could have retired for two days, but who would have expected...

Baiguan glared at the reporter angrily, wishing to scratch him with his eyes.

Liu Hong's eyes were murderous, and he finally calmed down a little. He actually submitted the battle report at this time, did he intend to piss him off?

He looked at the messenger with a dark gaze, "Where is the letter?"

After feeling the malicious eyes of all the officials, the reporter found that His Majesty's eyes were also very wrong, and knew that he had come at an inappropriate time.

"It's the battle report from Chenliu County."

Chen Liu, battle report, Liu Hong immediately grasped the key words, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Tell me, is it true that Chen Liu has been lost? The Sili Gate has been lost—" Liu Hong dragged his voice, as if he was exhausted.

The messenger immediately broke out in a cold sweat. It was the first time he encountered such a situation after sending letters for several years, and he immediately explained: "Your Majesty, Chen Liu's battle report is good news!"
