"...I would like to thank Governor Qin and Mr. Cai for their kindness. I cannot let go of my status as a Han minister for the moment." Liu Bei did not know how to address Qin Bin, so he could only use the title awarded by the Han court and responded with a wry smile.
Cai Yong said, "There is no rush in this case. Xuande can take his time."
Liu Bei bowed and said, "I have a question that I don't understand, and I would like to ask Master Cai to help me solve it."
"Oh? Please tell me."
Liu Bei stood up and said, "What is the deep meaning of the governor's wife setting up this lecture hall? I can't understand the mystery at all. I hope Mr. Cai can explain it to me."
Liu Bei's meaning was very simple. If he just wanted Cai Yong to be a lobbyist, there was no need to set up a lecture hall at all, and it should be the kind of lecture hall where he would just throw down a set of historical materials, give a brief explanation, and then ask them to read the books on their own.
This question also made others look over curiously, and even Lu Zhi looked up at Cai Yong from his contemplation.
"..."
Cai Yong paused slightly, his expression looked a little strange, and he couldn't help but glance at the surveillance camera under the roof.
Of course he couldn't say that his mistress was just having a bad taste, so with his sharp mind he spoke out quickly.
"The mistress is just curious about you."
"This, curious?" Liu Bei and others were stunned.
"I am indeed curious." Cai Yong continued, "Just like - if the Champion Marquis was resurrected, would you not be curious about him?"
"I see..."
After hearing Cai Yong's analogy, Liu Bei and others suddenly understood.
Just as Cai Yong said, if Champion Marquis Huo Qubing were to come back to life, they would be more than just curious. Even if they were thousands of miles away, they would definitely travel thousands of miles to see him.
Cai Yong added, "Although the mistress is an alien, she is deeply influenced by the ideas of the monarch and the later generations of the Great Huaxia people. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a member of the Huaxia people. Therefore, she is very interested in us... our ancestors."
Speaking of the word "ancestors", Cai Yong couldn't help but smile.
Similarly, Lu Zhi, Liu Bei and others couldn't help but smile knowingly.
But at this moment, Zhang Fei shouted loudly, "Haha... the wife of the governor is also a person of character, not bad. It seems that the governor Qin is not bad either. If——"
"Third brother!"
Liu Bei hurriedly stopped him, and Guan Yu even pulled Zhang Fei's arm, telling him to be careful with his words.
Zhang Fei had no choice but to smile awkwardly, after all, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong had also looked over.
Cai Yong did not take this matter to heart, but looked at Lu Zhi, "Zi Gan, have you made a decision?"
Lu Zhi turned around and looked at his old friend, "Bo Ji, I want to look around Qingzhou and make a decision then."
Previously, Lu Zhi was only taken by Cai Yong to travel around Ju County, and he only knew the situation in Ju County. Although judging from the situation outside Ju County, it is likely that the situation is similar, Lu Zhi still wanted to see it with his own eyes.
Cai Yong said with a smile, "This is a simple matter. I have a lot of free time these days, so I will go with you."
"In that case, thank you very much." Lu Zhi nodded and asked, "Can Xuande and the others go with us?"
Liu Bei and the others were stunned, but also somewhat expectant. After all, they had been in the prisoner camp all along, and they had heard most of the things about Qingzhou from hearsay, and had always been skeptical. If they could see it with their own eyes, they would be willing to go there.
Cai Yong said, "Based on my understanding of His Majesty, this matter will definitely be allowed, but I have to wait until I ask His Majesty for the truth."
Lu Zhi didn't say anything, but looked at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei responded and bowed to Cai Yong, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Cai."
"polite."
Cai Yong smiled and looked at Taishi Ci again. Before he could say anything, Taishi Ci spoke first.
"Thank you Mr. Cai for your kindness. I came all the way from Donglai and have seen the rapid development of Qingzhou. If possible... I would like to ask Mr. Cai to introduce me so that I can do my best to help the people of the world!"
As Taishi Ci spoke, he stood up straight and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty will be very happy that Ziyi has such a heart. Wait a minute, I will go to see Your Majesty now."
Cai Yong was also a little impatient. He did what he said and left quickly after he finished speaking.
Seeing this, Lu Zhi felt a little sad that his old friend still had the same character.
After feeling emotional, Lu Zhi turned his attention back to the "Three Kingdoms: Wei Shu"...
The camera turns to a study in the backyard of the county government.
Qin Bin, Xiaobai, Diao Chan, Cai Yu, Cai Yan and others were all looking at the projection screen on the wall. When they saw Cai Yong leave and Lu Zhi and others focused on "The Three Kingdoms", they withdrew their gazes.
Xiao Bai said, "Jeong-ji, Wen-ji, your father is indeed a writer. He can speak in a very clever way even when he is inspired. He is really amazing."
The idea of letting Cai Yong act as a lobbyist was completely impromptu on Xiaobai's part, and he never told him about it in advance.
Xiaobai's words made Cai Yu and Cai Yan couldn't help but smile happily.
Cai Yu said, "Sister, you are too kind. Actually, father's attainments in the art of persuasion and hesitancy are very average. He was only able to achieve such an effect by relying on the emperor's influence."
"Is that so? Even so, it's still very impressive. Xiaobin, you should learn from him." Xiaobai said, and also mentioned Qin Bin.
Qin Bin smiled and nodded, "That's for sure. But then again, you set up a lecture hall, is that all you're going to do? Just give an opening speech, throw some historical materials, and let them read it themselves?"
"Of course not." Xiao Bai shook his head and said, "When they are familiar with the historical materials, I will discuss the heroes of the world with them. Hmm, that must be very interesting."
Qin Bin and others were slightly stunned, and couldn't help shaking their heads with amusement.
Qin Bin added, "As long as you are happy, don't bully others too much. After all, they are all flesh and blood, real people."
"Don't worry, you're not my enemy. How could I say something without any bottom line?"
"That's good."
"Let's not talk about that. Taishi Ci wants to join us. To be honest, we are not short of manpower. Whether it is capable ministers and famous generals or basic workers, we can basically have as many as you need. In this case, how do you plan to arrange it?"
Qin Bin said, "That being said, it is easier to get thousands of troops than to find a good general. It is better to have more people with talent in commanding troops. Let Pengju make the arrangements and see if Taishi Ci can adapt to the rhythm of our army."
"That's it..."
At this moment, the voice of Meng Yuan came to Qin Bin and Xiaobai's minds. It was nothing big. It just told Qin Bin and Xiaobai that the universe before Liu Xin crossed over had been deciphered based on the coordinates in Liu Xin's body, and the coordinates had been put in place. Qin Bin and Xiaobai were asked to find time to go there.
After listening to Meng Yuan's explanation, Qin Bin said, "Xiao Bai, let's go after Lord Bo Ji comes."
"it is good."
Chapter 354: Fight against Dong
In early December of the sixth year of Zhongping, Qin Bin took Diao Chan, Cai Yu and Cai Yan back to the Qin territory of the Eternal Continent.
In addition to letting Diao Chan and the other two girls familiarize themselves with the way things go, Qin Bin also has to take into account the situation on Qin Ling's side.
Even though the time flow rate difference between the two worlds is about thirty times, Qin Bin has spent about two months in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but only two days have passed on the Eternal Continent, so Qin Bin still needs to pay attention.
The main thing is that Qin Ling has gradually built a permanent portal connecting various worlds. In the initial stage, there are many things that require Qin Bin to step in.
In order to avoid any accidents, after Qin Bin left the Eastern Han Dynasty, he asked Meng Yuan to connect the time of the two worlds, to avoid the situation where he returned to Qin Territory and found that everything in the Eastern Han Dynasty had changed completely.
After staying in Qinling for a day, learning about the situation from Edith, Yan Mond and others, and discussing the development and positioning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Qin Bin took Diao Chan and others back to Qingzhou of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
When he just came back, Qin Bin received the news that Cao Cao failed in his assassination attempt on Dong Zhuo and fled back to his hometown in Qiao County, Pei State. He spent all his family wealth to recruit soldiers and responded to the call of Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun. He then knew that the historical battle to defeat Dong Zhuo was about to begin.
According to the existing information, this world does not have the Cao Cao edict as in the novel. Instead, it follows the historical model, in which Cao Cao's friend, the governor of Dongjun, Qiao Mao, falsely claimed to have a secret letter from the three highest officials, calling on all the prefectures and counties in the world to join forces to punish the traitor Dong and support the Han Dynasty.
The intention was very clear, which was to connect the officials of various states and counties to attack Luoyang together.
After Qiao Mao's great efforts to organize the movement, the heads of prefectures and counties around Luoyang also responded to the call one after another.
There were the governor of Yuzhou Kong Rong, the prefect of Henei Wang Kuang, the prefect of Nanyang Zhang Zi, the prefect of Chenliu Zhang Miao, the prefect of Shanyang Yuan Yi, the prefect of Dongjun Qiao Mao, the prefect of Guangling Zhang Chao and other chief officials of prefectures and counties.
Yuan Shu, who fled back to his hometown of Runan in Yuzhou, relied on the Yuan family's wealth to recruit a private army of about 30,000 people and followed the Yuzhou governor Kong Zhu as a commoner. There was no other way. In order to win over Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo first offered him the position of rear general, but Yuan Shu refused. Later, in anger, he got Yuan Shu the position of prime minister of Qi to trick him, but Yuan Shu still refused. In other words, Yuan Shu was now a commoner.
However, Yuan Shu was after all the legitimate son of the Yuan Feng branch of the Yuan family and the heir of the Yuan Feng branch. The Yuan family dominated Yuzhou, so the Yuzhou lineage was headed by Kong Rong, but in reality, Yuan Shu was the leader.
As for Yuan Shao, he did not dare to move at this time, because Qingzhou was adjacent to Bohai County where he was. From the map, Qingzhou was just below Bohai County, and there was a large area of land bordering them.
Even now, the two counties of Chonghe and Yangxin in Bohai County have been eroded by the Qin army. Yuan Shao once led his troops to fight back, but was defeated and fled. How could he have the energy to attack Dong Zhuo?
However, Yuan Shao soon discovered that the Qin army's encroachment had stopped and the Qin army began to gather refugees and reorganize internal affairs, showing no intention of moving north. This made Yuan Shao secretly relieved, and at this time the discussion came up. After discussing it, Yuan Shao and his staff decided to just respond but keep their troops in place. At the same time, they recruited soldiers on a large scale to prevent the Qin army from moving north in the future.
Similar to Yuan Shao were Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, and other provincial and county officials. They were all frightened by the Qin army in Qingzhou and could not move because their jurisdictions were adjacent to Qingzhou. What's more, the new governor of Qingzhou was recruited by Dong Zhuo. They only responded but did not send troops, saying that Dong's minions were nearby and they had to be on guard.
Yes, after the anti-Dong movement began, Qingzhou Governor Qin Bin was labeled as "Dong's lackey".
In response to this, Qin Bin just smiled after returning, but specifically instructed Yue Fei and Zhang Juzheng not to argue or get involved, and just to make preparations for unifying the world.
In Qin Bin's opinion, the label of "Dong Zhuo's minion", from another perspective, means that Qin Bin is regarded as a member of the Han court.
You must know that until now, the heroes of the world have only accused Dong Zhuo of deceiving the emperor and being cruel and inhumane, but have not denied Dong Zhuo's identity as the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.
The reason for this is that Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Liu Dai, Zhang Zi, Kong Rong, Zhang Miao and others were actually high-ranking officials recommended by Dong Zhuo for appointment.
Dong Zhuo's original intention was to win over the prominent families by lavishly rewarding them, but the result was good, as these people became the vanguard of the anti-Dong movement.
But that is not important. The key point is that these people's official positions all came from Dong Zhuo, which also led to the fact that these people could not easily talk about Dong Zhuo's position as prime minister. They could only make a fuss about deceiving the emperor and being cruel and ruthless.
Even Yuan Shao and others had to avoid getting too involved in the fact that Emperor Xie had come to the throne in an illegitimate manner, because their official positions were conferred by Dong Zhuo in the name of Liu Xie. Denying Liu Xie was tantamount to denying the legitimacy of their own official positions.
In this way, the nature of the anti-Dong Zhuo movement was framed in the political struggle among the bureaucrats within the Han court. Even if a war broke out, it could only be described as an overly fierce internal struggle.
Qin Bin, the governor of Qingzhou, suddenly acquired the same characteristics as Yuan Shao and others. To put it bluntly, Qin Bin is now a courtier of the Han Dynasty and Dong Zhuo, just like Yuan Shao and others.
In this way, Qin Bin's characteristics as an outsider were completely diluted, or even disappeared, which was the best thing for Qin Bin.
As for the anti-Dong collusion, Qin Bin will definitely not get involved, but he will not ignore Luoyang either.
It is actually not difficult to keep Luoyang. As long as Dong Zhuo has no intention of moving the capital, the situation in Luoyang will not reach the worst point.
It was not difficult to prevent Dong Zhuo from moving the capital. In fact, it had already been achieved because the Qin army in Qingzhou had clamped down on the forces of Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Liu Dai, Bao Xin and others, which was equivalent to cutting the original anti-Dong coalition's strength in half. In this case, Dong Zhuo's pressure would be much less than in history. In addition, the ambiguous attitude of Qin Bin, the Qingzhou governor, gave Dong Zhuo the illusion of having external aid, thus strengthening Dong Zhuo's determination to defend Luoyang.
For this purpose, Qin Bin even secretly met with Lu Bu and asked Lu Bu to temporarily assist Dong Zhuo wholeheartedly to resist the coalition forces.
The reason for this is that in history, Sun Jian was able to successfully defeat Dong Zhuo's troops because Lu Bu acted as a traitor.
What happened was that after Xu Rong defeated Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo wanted to press on with his victory, so he sent Hu Zhen as the main general to attack Sun Jian together with Lu Bu and Hua Xiong. However, Hu Zhen was arrogant, and Lu Bu disliked him. Perhaps he was jealous of Hu Zhen being named the Grand Protector and Commander-in-Chief. In any case, when Lu Bu was fighting against Sun Jian, he deliberately spread rumors in the army that "the enemy army was coming", causing Hu Zhen's troops to fall into chaos without a fight. Sun Jian took advantage of the situation to attack, defeated Hu Zhen's troops, and killed Hua Xiong, the governor under his command.
After this defeat, Sun Jian took advantage of the situation and advanced into the heart of Luoyang, forcing Dong Zhuo to move the capital soon after.
Chapter 355: It ended before it officially began
As for Lu Bu, when he saw Qin Bin who teleported over, he lost all his courage. After knowing that Qin Bin was the governor of Qingzhou, he immediately bowed down and expressed his loyalty.
Qin Bin had no intention of accepting Lu Bu at first, but he thought that no matter how bad Lu Bu was, it depended on who was going to use him and what he was going to use him for. In addition, Qin Bin was influenced by the collecting habit he had contracted from Xiao Bai, so after a little hesitation, he finally accepted Lu Bu.
Qin Bin thought that with the use of modern Chinese military discipline to restrain and reform him in the future, and with a large number of historical heroes to compare him with, it was very likely that Lu Bu would be more law-abiding than anyone else.
If it really doesn't work, we will deal with it according to the law and military discipline in the future.
As for whether Lu Bu will pose a threat to Qin Bin?
Such worries are totally unnecessary.
Many ants can bite an elephant to death, but it is just an ordinary ant, so it is impossible for it to bite a dragon to death no matter what.
Qin Bin previously hesitated about whether to accept Lu Bu, not because he was worried about these things, but simply because he disliked Lu Bu's character.
After taking Lu Bu under his command, Qin Bin's first order to Lu Bu was to have him assist Dong Zhuo with all his strength and defend Luoyang.
Of course Lu Bu would not have any objection. Faced with such a powerful person who could take his life with just a glance, Lu Bu was not only extremely obedient, but also extremely happy to be able to hold on to his thigh. Of course he would try his best to perform.
After arranging for Lu Bu, Qin Bin and Xiaobai went to Liu Xin’s hometown, Yuzhou.
The Earth in that universe, apart from the different national leaders and some famous people and events, was not much different from Qin Bin’s hometown Earth before the mutation. So Qin Bin followed the convention and went to meet the commander-in-chief of China on that universe’s Earth, and soon brought new members to the Ten Thousand Worlds Group.
Qin Bin and Xiaobai did not stay in that universe for long. After arranging everything, they returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Let’s talk about the Eastern Han Dynasty’s campaign against Dong Zhuo.
Let's look at Cao Cao again. He was also a commoner at this time. He took several thousand people and followed his good friends Qiao Mao and Zhang Miao to Chenliu Sunzao. He participated in military operations very actively, and looked determined to clear the court of evil officials and restore peace.
After Sun Jian and Jingzhou Governor Wang Rui put down the rebellion in southern Jingzhou, they also responded to the call to fight against Dong. However, Sun Jian's journey to the north was not peaceful at all, and there were even casualties. Sun Jian first forced Jingzhou Governor Wang Rui to death (after which Liu Biao entered Jingzhou), and then killed Nanyang Prefect Zhang Zi in Nanyang. Faced with such a high-ranking official, he killed him at will, showing no rules at all.
Later, Sun Jian went north to Luyang and met Yuan Shu, who recommended Sun Jian as General Po Lu and Governor of Yuzhou.
Yes, Kong Jun was still alive, but he was sold out by Yuan Shu. This shows who is the boss of Yuzhou.
However, Yuan Shu’s memorial had not received a reply yet, and there was no official appointment from the court. But Sun Jian was satisfied. He stationed troops in Luyang, north of Nanyang, to support Yuan Shu who was stationed in Yingchuan.
At this point, the curtain was officially raised on the campaign against Dong Zhuo.
