The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

When everyone was puzzled, Ju Shou beside Guo Jia also spoke.

"Feng Xiao's meaning should be that we are worried about whether Dong Zhuo will master the power to drive the evil spirit, so we want to investigate it clearly before taking action. Although this is true, it will waste the opportunity to fight."

"From another perspective, if Dong Zhuo really had mastered the method of driving the evil spirit, then why wouldn't she take action again after suffering a great defeat?"

"So, we have to attack Luoyang as soon as possible before it can regain control of that power, so as to avoid any more trouble."

After listening to this, Liu Zhaoqing looked at Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

The two nodded slightly.

"Pass my order, the entire army must be ready and set out for Chenliu in two hours." Liu Zhaoqing gave the order with a serious face.

"We must take Hulao Pass within three days, head straight to Luoyang, and destroy the Dong thief."

After discussing the countermeasures, everyone began to implement them quickly.

Although Ju Shou, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others felt that Dong Zhuo would not mobilize his troops so quickly, it was unlikely that he would be able to summon the evil spirit a second time.

However, the longer the night, the more trouble they would have. Liu Zhaoqing and others unanimously agreed that the best strategy to defeat the enemy was to take advantage of the momentum of this great victory and take down Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop.

Liu Zhaoqing returned to the county residence, ready to take important items such as the sword and the Luoshu with him.

Just at this time Zhang Jiao came in from outside.

"Feng Xiao also seems to want to go to Luoyang with Qing Jun." Zhang Jiao said, "Just now I saw her talking with Miss Xun, and she seemed to want to leave with Qing Jun."

Liu Zhaoqing put down the sword in his hand and frowned slightly: "It would definitely be good to have Fengxiao's help, but her physical condition..."

The reason why Guo Jia was not allowed to go along was because Guo Jia was too weak. It was okay during normal marches, and Guo Jia would at most feel dizzy, but once there was a high-intensity march, she might really fall seriously ill.

Liu Zhaoqing's character determines that he will not fight according to the script and stick to the rules. He has done surprise attacks like this more than once, and it is foreseeable that he will do so again in the future.

Zhang Jiao nodded: "Yes, Miss Xun also explained it in the same way."

"But, I think Fengxiao's desire to travel with Qingjun has become stronger."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Liu Zhaoqing asked as he picked out a few pieces of his clothes from the closet.

"Do you remember why Fengxiao came to us?" Zhang Jiao asked.

Then she took the initiative to say: "She is not doing this for money or fame, but to realize her 'self-worth'. Just like the last afterglow of a falling star, she wants to leave her name in history."

Liu Zhaoqing paused for a moment and said, "I understand this. I am also looking for a way to cure Feng Xiao, but before that, her safety is more important."

"What do you think, Jiao'er?"

Zhang Jiao smiled: "As for me, I hope Qingjun will take her with him, and I will go with him, so that her safety can be guaranteed to a certain extent."

"Ah?" Liu Zhaoqing was surprised. "This... seems to be possible?"

Hebei has entered the most stable period in nearly twenty years. There is no foreign invasion in the north, and the chaos in the south has not yet spread to the north of the Yellow River. The people here are united and the situation is very stable.

Later, Liu Zhaoqing thought about it carefully and decided that it was feasible to bring Guo Jia along.

The Hebei defense team was handed over to Ju Shou for command, so Liu Zhaoqing didn't have to worry.

When Liu Zhaoqing asked Zhang Jiao to tell Guo Jia the news, Guo Jia was stunned for a long time, and then hurriedly saluted Zhang Jiao, who of course quickly helped him up.

On the other side, Liu Zhaoqing packed up his things and headed towards Han Fu's mansion. On the way, he happened to meet Zhang Liao who came to report.

"My benefactor, the Yellow Turban Army that is still capable of fighting has been assembled and is ready to set off at any time."

Liu Zhaoqing nodded as he walked: "Okay, thank you Wenyuan for your hard work."

"It was basically all Zilong's doing. I didn't help much." Zhang Liao said with a slightly embarrassed look.

Liu Zhaoqing smiled and said, "Wenyuan is doing something else. Did I forget?"

"By the way, what happened to the treasures seized from Han Fu's mansion?"

"It has been basically processed. Most of it will be used as rewards for the soldiers and pensions for those who died in battle. The rest will be used to purchase food, fodder, weapons and other military supplies." Zhang Liao said.

"Oh? So efficient? It seems that Wenyuan not only has a talent for fighting, but is also good at housekeeping." Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile.

Zhang Liao immediately shook his head helplessly and said that he had also consulted Xun Yu, otherwise he would not have such ability in internal affairs.

"My lord, are you going to see Han Fu?" Zhang Liao asked as he looked in the direction Liu Zhaoqing was heading.

"They are Han Fu's men." Liu Zhaoqing said.

"Ju Shou should be there too. I have something to tell him."

After arriving at Han Fu's mansion with Zhang Liao, Liu Zhaoqing indeed saw Tian Feng and Gao Lan negotiating with Ju Su in a hall.

Tian Feng and Gao Lan were both surprised when they learned that Dong Zhuo had the help of an evil spirit.

"Then Alliance Leader Liu did not avoid the attack, but instead faced it head-on..."

"After all, the alliance that the lord is the leader of is called 'Anti-Dong'." Ju Su smiled, "But Tian Feng and Gao Lan don't have to worry. The lord is speeding up the attack on Dong, and Hebei will be safer."

"I know this, but what about Alliance Leader Liu's own safety..." After Tian Feng finished speaking, he saw that Ju Shou was still smiling, so he also complained.

"How strange! As his counselor, why aren't you anxious at all?"

"Haha, why is Yuan Hao more worried than me?" Liu Zhaoqing's voice came.

The three looked in the direction of the voice and saw Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao approaching.

The three of them saluted him hurriedly, but Liu Zhaoqing waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities.

Liu Zhaoqing then went straight to the point and told Tian Feng and Gao Lan that he would focus all his efforts on attacking Luo this time, and that they needed to cooperate with his men in the rear to ensure peace in Hebei.

"I have been in correspondence with Lord Bo'an. If you need any help, you can contact him."

"I understand."

After Liu Zhaoqing asked them if they had any other confusion or concerns, and they both shook their heads, Liu Zhaoqing nodded slightly to Ju Shou and said goodbye.

After Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao left, Gao Lan opened his mouth slightly and said, "Marquis Changping is becoming more and more like a heroic leader."

Tian Feng stroked his beard and nodded. Then he looked at Ju Shou: "I didn't expect that after not seeing Ju Shou for so many days, he would come back with such a result."

“Isn’t this the best outcome?”

"That's right." Tian Feng nodded, and then sighed: "The Marquis of Changping also trusts people he employs, and has entrusted you with such an important responsibility as commanding the rear."

Ju Shou couldn't refute this. She nodded and said, "He should be the only one who has the courage to fully trust a newly recruited person."

"Didn't Alliance Leader Liu go to see the lord?" Gao Lan asked at this time.

Ju Su smiled and said, "It's unnecessary."

"And in the eyes of Jizhou Mu, the Marquis of Changping is not as attractive as a few stones."

Tian Feng and Gao Lan were both silent upon hearing this. Tian Feng shook his head and sighed.

"This is his fate, so let's just do our own thing."

"The people of Jizhou and the peace of the entire Hebei Province are the precious things we must protect."

-

On the other side, Liu Zhaoqing went to see Liu Bei again after dealing with the defense of Jizhou.

When they met Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had already packed their belongings. Zhang Fei even pinched his fingers and asked Liu Zhaoqing when they would set off.

"General Fei is so anxious?" Liu Zhaoqing was surprised.

"Of course. That little Lu Bu let her escape again. Next time, I will beat her until she cries. Let's see if she dares to be so arrogant again." Zhang Fei snorted.

"What do you mean by number one in the world and unparalleled courage? Have you ever asked about the spear in my hand?"

"But, if Lu Bu uses his full strength, it seems that he cannot be defeated by one person alone?" Zhang Liao said honestly.

Although Zhang Fei was full of confidence, he could not lie. He rolled his eyes and said calmly, "Then ask me whether I have asked about the troops in my and my elder and second sisters' hands."

"Next time we meet that kid, my elder sister and the second sister will kill her on the horse, otherwise we won't be heroes."

"Yide." Liu Bei glared at her slightly, telling her to stop talking nonsense.

Guan Yu shook his head slightly when he saw this. He and his elder sister didn't say anything, and Zhang Fei forced them to speak for him.

It was also thanks to Liu Zhaoqing being by his side, otherwise Liu Bei would definitely have done more than just glare at Zhang Fei.

Liu Zhaoqing thought that it was a good thing that Zhang Fei was confident, but he was afraid that he would be intimidated by Lu Bu and lose the courage to fight again.

"Then I will have to continue to rely on you three." Liu Zhaoqing said.

"Sister Xuande, and Yunchang Yide, please wait here for a while. We will go together when we set off."

After briefly talking about some things that needed attention, Liu Zhaoqing headed to the next stop - where Cao Cao lived.

It is routine to inform allies before taking action. After meeting Liu Bei, Liu Zhaoqing naturally went to meet Cao Cao.

The place where Cao Cao lived was not the county residence, but a nice restaurant in Yecheng that he had booked.

When Liu Zhaoqing arrived on horseback, Cao Ren at the door immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Where is your master?" Liu Zhaoqing asked after dismounting.

"Inspecting the troops with Yuan Rang (Xiahou Dun)." Cao Ren said.

"My lord knew that Marquis Changping would come here, so he specially asked me to come here to meet him again, and told him: Don't worry about me."

Liu Zhaoqing was surprised for a moment, then smiled.

"In that case, I understand."

After saying that, he turned around and went back.

Cao Cao really didn't need him to tell him anything, as she sometimes saw the current situation more clearly than he did.

After quickly explaining everything within an hour, Liu Zhaoqing made all preparations before the end of the second hour.

Zhang Jiao, Guo Jia and Xun Yu rode in the carriage, Liu Zhaoqing, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun led the team forward, and beside him was Jia Xu.

Liu, Guan, Zhang and Cao Cao's troops also quickly joined Liu Zhaoqing.

The team marched along the main road of Yecheng, heading towards the city gate.

"Zhaoqing got Ju Su and Jia Xu. One was put in charge of Jizhou's affairs, and the other was kept by his side. There was no one else he could trust so much." Cao Cao came to Liu Zhaoqing, glanced at Jia Xu beside him and spoke.

Liu Zhaoqing naturally heard the reminder in Cao Cao's tone. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Zhaoqing did trust others too much.

But this is based on the premise that Liu Zhaoqing knows them inside and out.

"Don't I trust Meng De the same way?" Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile.

"Oh? Then why were you obviously on guard against me when we were in Luoyang? It shouldn't be my illusion, right?" Cao Cao asked calmly.

This made Liu Zhaoqing feel a little embarrassed and he coughed twice.

When Liu Zhaoqing first knew that Cao Cao was Cao Cao, his first reaction must have been to be on guard. He couldn't immediately think that the owner of the name "Cao Cao" was a kind-hearted and charitable person.

"Zhao Qing, Captain Cao, please look outside." At this time, Liu Bei, who was not far away, suddenly said.

Cao Cao tilted his head to look, and was immediately surprised.

After they walked out of the city gate, they found that the wide avenue was completely blocked by the crowd.

Looking around, a large number of people were standing on both sides of the road, led by Tian Feng and others, holding wine jars in their hands, bowing and saluting to Liu Zhaoqing who was walking out of the city gate.

"The people of Yecheng are all grateful for the kindness of the Marquis of Changping and the virtue of the Yellow Turbans."

"We and the people of the whole city wish the Marquis of Changping to destroy the bandits and restore Han. This trip will bring prosperity and peace to the world."

After Tian Feng finished speaking, a large number of civilians behind him knelt down and repeated the blessing that Tian Feng had said.

Although it was a little messy because it had not been rehearsed, the last sentence was so clear that it was so loud that the birds in the sky were startled and flew away.

Seeing this scene, the Xiahou sisters and generals such as Cao Ren around Cao Cao were particularly shocked. It was the first time they saw this scene.

Jia Xu behind Liu Zhaoqing and Gao Shun in the distance also moved their eyes slightly when they saw this.

Even those who had seen Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao more than once would still be shocked by this scene.

Ju Shou, who was standing on the tower, smiled in front of Zhang He and said, "This is the real Ming Gong."

Cao Cao, who was beside Liu Zhaoqing, also said at this time: "If Dong Zhuo were here, he would understand why he was defeated."

Liu Zhaoqing also quickly dismounted and returned the greetings to everyone.

During this period, Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and found that Liu Bei's eyes were always fixed on Liu Zhaoqing, as if he had realized something.
