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

Liu Zhaoqing had originally planned that if Liu Bei was still unwilling to accept the situation and wanted to continue to overthrow Dong Zhuo's former subordinates, he would have to speak up and persuade him.

Seeing that she was so rational, Liu Zhaoqing saved a lot of words and felt relieved.

"That's right. Sister Xuande, maybe you can go back with me?" Liu Zhaoqing said, "That way, I'll have someone to take care of me along the way."

While Liu Bei was still hesitating, Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and patted his chest to agree on her behalf.

"That's great!" Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei, "I'm worried that you might expose your earthly power and get harassed or targeted by bad guys. I'll feel relieved if you go back together."

Zhang Fei agreed so quickly that Liu Bei felt a little helpless, but in the end he did not say anything against it. It can be imagined that he was actually somewhat tempted by Liu Zhaoqing's proposal.

After agreeing to go back together, Liu Bei looked at the ruins around him and asked Liu Zhaoqing about the details of what had happened before.

Liu Zhaoqing briefly told Liu Bei and his two sisters about the process of his fierce battle with Dong Zhuo. The ups and downs and the extraordinary risks involved made Liu Bei and the other two feel scared for Liu Zhaoqing.

"If that's the case, Dong Zhuo still has some integrity." Zhang Fei said, touching his chin.

"If Li Ru survived and really went to Chang'an, it would indeed arouse the greed of the princes," said Liu Bei.

"In addition to treasures and cities, the secret method of transforming oneself into a ferocious beast and increasing one's strength by a huge amount should also be extremely tempting."

Liu Zhaoqing had forgotten this point. For ordinary princes who lack high-end combat power, this is indeed the most tempting thing.

Most of the princes are not as principled as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or Dong Zhuo. When faced with power, they will embrace it without hesitation, even if it is the so-called "evil thing", as long as it does not affect themselves.

"Compared to this, what I care more about is the collapse of the Han Dynasty's mandate and what impact it will have on the world..." Guan Yu said after thinking for a long time.

Faced with this question, not only Liu Zhaoqing found it difficult to answer, but Xun Yu beside Liu Zhaoqing also remained silent.

Just when the atmosphere became solemn and slightly sad, a soldier came from a distance and told Liu Zhaoqing that he had already notified Zhang Jiao.

Liu Zhaoqing asked Liu Bei and the other two to prepare to return to the front of Luoyang City with him.

Leave the task of finding useful treasures to Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun. These generals are not only powerful, but their sensitivity to the outside world is also far superior to that of ordinary people, so there is no need to worry about falling into possible traps.

Walking along the ruins towards his troops, Liu Zhaoqing saw people supporting each other and a large number of buried bodies.

"Luoyang is completely destroyed after this battle." Zhang Fei said softly.

This city, once the most prosperous city in the world, also became a burial site for the Han Dynasty.

After seeing a large group of soldiers with yellow scarves tied on their shoulders, Liu Zhaoqing successfully met Jia Xu and Guo Jia. He immediately asked about Zhang Jiao's whereabouts, and Liu Zhaoqing led a few people to rush forward.

When we saw Zhang Jiao, she was being worshipped or questioned by a large group of people.

"Great and Good Master, please save us, please save us..."

"If the Great Sage Master can save me, he can definitely save my father, right?"

"It's gone, everything is gone, everything I have saved for a lifetime has disappeared..."

"Great and Good Master, how can we survive..."

……

Zhang Jiao, wearing a light-colored long dress, was not sitting in the carriage, nor was she riding a horse. She stood in front of a group of people like an ordinary citizen. Except for her little daughter who was closest to her, there was no other guard beside her.

This was undoubtedly a deliberate arrangement by Zhang Jiao. The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were strictly selected. Not only did they have high combat qualities, they would also basically not do anything to harm ordinary people.

In addition to the fact that they themselves came from the common people, the bigger reason was that Liu Zhaoqing gave them material satisfaction, and Zhang Jiao, as a great and virtuous teacher, also gave them spiritual guidance.

But these confused disaster victims didn’t know this, and might even panic when they saw the large number of soldiers.

"Everything will be fine. As long as we help each other, we can overcome any difficulties." Zhang Jiao said.

At this time, Liu Zhaoqing also appeared in her sight. Seeing Liu Zhaoqing in good condition, Zhang Jiao felt relieved and nodded at him.

When the rest of the people turned around and saw Liu Zhaoqing, few of them recognized him at first because of his pale face.

But after someone shouted "It's Marquis Changping!", Liu Zhaoqing, who was already very famous in Luoyang, was surrounded by a large number of people.

Just like asking Zhang Jiao just now, people also began to seek Liu Zhaoqing's help.

Liu Zhaoqing did not make any promises because he knew that he could not stay in the ruins of Luoyang and put all his troops and energy into rebuilding for the people.

But he still pointed out a direction for those who were confused.

"If you feel confused about the road ahead and can't see the direction, you can also go to Hebei, to Changping, where there are many people like you," Liu Zhaoqing said.

"They were also displaced by the disaster and almost despaired, but now they are living relatively well. They have their own farmland and a new life of their own."

"As long as I am here, Hebei will always have a place for the suffering people of the world."

This was all Liu Zhaoqing could do. Although there were still many people at the scene who did not understand what this meant, Liu Zhaoqing could no longer explain it to them.

Because the first batch of princes have already entered the city.

They were several prefects of Yuzhou and Yanzhou. After the soldiers came to report, Liu Zhaoqing, Zhang Jiao and others returned to the street where the Yellow Turban Army was temporarily staying.

Soon, several princes with a small number of followers and looking unhappy were seen.

After seeing Liu Zhaoqing, these princes changed their expressions, bowed and greeted him repeatedly, "Greetings, Leader."

Liu Zhaoqing merely nodded, and then told them that there was still a danger of destiny collapsing near the palace ahead, and it was very dangerous, so they could not get close for the time being.

Although this statement was made up by Liu Zhaoqing on the spot, the princes did not have much doubt. After all, they saw the big commotion outside Luoyang City with their own eyes that day.

They just smiled and said thank you to the leader for the reminder, but they were actually anxious. There must be a lot of jewels and other things in the palace. If it was any later, it might not be their turn to share.

Liu Zhaoqing seemed to be able to read their minds. After making up an excuse, he told them that there seemed to be some remnants of Dong Zhuo's army still resisting in his mansion.

When several princes heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Good, good! Ah, I mean, Dong Zhuo finally has only a few remnants left, that's great!"

"These remnants of Dong Zhuo still dare to resist at this time. Don't worry, leader. I will be the one to wipe them out!"

"Alliance leader, wait for the good news. I... Damn you two!"

The reason why the three were so excited was certainly not to wipe out the remnants of Dong Zhuo, but to feel happy and excited about being able to act in the name of justice.

This is because as Dong Zhuo’s residence in Luoyang, there must be a large number of treasures in it at this moment, perhaps even more than the imperial palace.

After all, even though Dong Zhuo had not been in power in Luoyang for a long time and might not have had time to embezzle a huge amount of wealth, her mansion was rebuilt on the basis of the mansion of the previous general He Jin.

Even if he did not take a penny, the treasure inherited from He Jin alone was a figure that ordinary people could not imagine.

"These dogs are nowhere to be seen during a fight, but when they smell meat, they run faster than dogs." Looking at the princes who were quickly going away, Zhang Fei had a look of disdain on his face.

"Are we just going to give them the things from Dong Zhuo's mansion?" Guan Yu also asked.

"That's right." Zhang Fei was also confused when he heard this: "Zhao Qing, you were not stunned by the destiny, were you? There must be a huge amount of treasures in Dong Zhuo's mansion, and you just gave them to these three little dogs with no names?"

“You must have a name to be able to sit on the position of prefect, but you are definitely not qualified to be heard by the Flying General.” Liu Zhaoqing smiled.

"Zhao Qing should want to use the wealth of Dong Zhuo's mansion to attract these princes to fight for it." Liu Bei guessed.

Liu Zhaoqing nodded: "Sister Xuande knows me."

Although Liu Zhaoqing has not yet reached the point of being "uninterested" in the treasure, at this time, using it to attract the attention of the princes is the most practical and most beneficial bait for them.

Don’t think that these princes were quite polite to Liu Zhaoqing, that was only because Liu Zhaoqing’s troops did not look tired at all.

If the destiny of the Han Dynasty had not been shattered today, and if Liu Zhaoqing's followers and himself had appeared weak, it would have been a good thing if these princes had not resorted to war against him.

"If the princes who enter the city cannot plunder the people's wealth, they may massacre the people in the city." Zhang Jiao said at this time.

"With the bait of Dong Zhuo's treasure, it can also indirectly protect the people."

Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu nodded slightly when they heard this.

Only Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Jiao could give up such wealth. No wonder the Taiping Dao spread so quickly in Hebei.

It was extremely difficult for other princes to recruit soldiers, but Liu Zhaoqing, who only had one city, was able to carefully select people to form the Yellow Turban Army. This was because Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Jiao always placed the people in an important position.

"Why don't I see Meng De and Sister Benchu?" Liu Zhaoqing asked in confusion after seeing off the first batch of princes.

Zhang Jiao told him that Yuan Shao should have gone to look for the emperor, and Cao Cao went directly back to Yanzhou.

Yuan Shao attached great importance to reputation. Even though the Mandate of the Han Dynasty had collapsed, the emperor was still the apparent ruler of the world.

If he could welcome back the emperor and protect him, it would be a great achievement for Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao was more practical. After overthrowing Dong Zhuo, the anti-Dong alliance naturally no longer had any necessity for her.

Knowing that the destiny of the Han Dynasty was crumbling, Cao Cao knew clearly that it would not be long before the world was in chaos. Of course, he would return now to recruit soldiers and continue to strengthen himself.

Both of them made the right choice, and Liu Zhaoqing did not stay there for too long.

After welcoming a few more princes and informing them that there were still remnants of Dong Zhuo in his mansion and leading them to fight for it, Liu Zhaoqing received a message from the soldiers who came from the imperial palace.

Generals Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao have completed their mission, and their carriages have left the palace and are heading north.

Liu Zhaoqing immediately decided that the army would begin to evacuate Luoyang and head north.

On the way back to Hebei, the army could also be used to cover the convoy that Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were transporting out of the imperial palace.

Shortly after Liu Zhaoqing and his soldiers left the north city gate and looked back at Luoyang, he and Zhang Jiao stopped for a moment on horseback.

"I'll come again." Zhang Jiao said slowly.

Liu Zhaoqing nodded slightly.

-

Not long after Liu Zhaoqing left, a large number of troops from other princes once again poured into the outside of Luoyang City.

Many people are visiting Luoyang for the first time. Even though Luoyang has become like this, one can still feel its grandeur.

After hearing that Liu Zhaoqing, Cao Cao and others were gone, the princes no longer had the heart to sigh.

What does the absence of these main players in the alliance mean?

It means that the whole Luoyang belongs to them!

Among the princes who entered Luoyang, in addition to the greedy ones, there were also some who arrived a little late but were truly loyal to the emperor.

For example, Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, they went all the way north from the south, intending to support Liu Zhaoqing, but they did not expect that all they saw along the way were the corpses of Dong Zhuo's subordinates.

Before coming to Luoyang, he witnessed the scene of the collapse of destiny. Now after arriving in Luoyang, Liu Zhaoqing had already left.

"Is this... still Luoyang?" Huangfu Song looked at the ruined Luoyang City with shock in his eyes.

Lu Zhi also frowned deeply.

"Zhao Qing must have succeeded in getting rid of the thieves, otherwise these princes wouldn't be fighting so recklessly. In other words, if it weren't for Zhao Qing, Luoyang might have been damaged even more severely."

"Besides, we don't have time to sigh now. These princes are going to Dong Zhuo's mansion to fight for treasures. For us, the things related to His Majesty and the Han Dynasty in the palace are not treasures, but they are rarer than treasures." Lu Zhi said.

"Yes." Huangfu Song nodded: "Zi Gan, you have more knowledge than me. Go to the palace to find the remaining items related to His Majesty and the Han Dynasty, and I will go to find His Majesty."

Lu Zhi nodded: "If you find any trace, please send someone to inform me, and I will go to support you immediately."

After the division of labor was completed, Huangfu Song led a group of people out of the city. Just when Lu Zhi was about to go to the palace, another group of people suddenly came from behind.

This team has nearly 5,000 soldiers. Although it is not huge, it is not small.

The leader had an extraordinary face and a strong body. The red scarf on his head was particularly eye-catching.

Chapter 339 Wucheng Marquis Sun Jian

The man had an extraordinary appearance, with a long black beard and dark eyes. He seemed to be only in his thirties, but he was already one of the Han nobles.

This is the governor of Changsha, Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng.

Sun Jian was granted the title of Marquis of Wucheng for his meritorious service in the wars during the reign of Emperor Ling. He has been stationed in Jingzhou over the years. While being law-abiding, he is also one of the few people who still remains loyal to the Han Dynasty.

"Sun Wentai?" Lu Zhi quickly recognized Sun Jian.

Although the two men had very different identities and status, Lu Zhi had long noticed Sun Jian, who had a strong character, was loyal to the Han Dynasty, was brave, and had strategy.

As early as when Zhu Jun was still hiding in Luoyang, Lu Zhi had recommended him to seek help from Sun Jian.

"Mr. Lu?!" When Sun Jian saw Lu Zhi, his originally serious and heavy eyes suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

Although he was not familiar with Lu Zhi, he had heard of Lu Zhi's reputation and knew his character.

Immediately, his thick eyebrows furrowed, "Mr. Lu, what on earth happened in Luoyang? How did it become like this?!"

Lu Zhi simply informed Sun Jian that the anti-Dong coalition had launched a surprise attack on Luoyang from two directions, and that Dong Zhuo not only resisted with the help of evil spirits, but even went so far as to destroy the destiny of the Han Dynasty.

“What?! Are those giant dragons really... the destiny of the Han Dynasty…” Sun Jian looked shocked, his eyes slightly dazed.

The generals and old ministers beside him looked at each other, and their brows were all frowned with worry.

Because this also means that the fate of the Han Dynasty is heading towards irreversible collapse.
