On the official road, the crimson flag fluttered in the wind, and the cavalry quickly passed through the boundaries of Qingxu County and headed towards Jinyang City.
At this moment, several people dressed as Confucian scholars appeared in front of the road and blocked the way of the army.
Lu Li, who was riding on the horse, looked slightly sideways. He had seen these people before Ding Gong. They were said to be counselors. They were good at all kinds of magic, proficient in soul searching, and could also change the celestial phenomena on a small scale. They were highly regarded. After all, Bingzhou was a place where There are really too few capable scholars, and they are simply not as good as those in Yingchuan and Xiangyang.
"General Lu, we have something to report to the lord, please let us go."
The leader bowed his hands towards Lu Li.
Hearing this, Lu Li, who returned to his old job and was transferred to General Yamen, nodded and waved his riding crop.
The guards stepped aside one after another to let the counselors pass.
"Mr. Ding, our pursuit has not found any traces of the remnants of the Taiping Road so far!"
In fact, Ding Yuan was sitting in a car nearby, and the voice reached Lu Li's ears, and he immediately became energetic. The battle the day before yesterday was always a bit anticlimactic, and the Taiping Dao master with mysterious methods did not take action. You know, Lu Bu was extremely afraid of his thunder skills. If they had taken action in time, the Yellow Turban Army would not have been defeated so quickly.
"Disappeared?"
"That's right, we followed the breath to Tianjing Pass..."
Crossing the border was a taboo for the imperial court. After passing Tianjingguan and heading south, there was the Sili Xiaowei Department. Although it was not under the emperor's feet, it still belonged to Kinki. What did the border officials want to do without an edict?
If truth be told, this crime is much more serious than what Lu Li had done before, and it could easily be criticized as conspiracy.
Therefore, Ding Yuan did not blame: "If this is the case, then report it to the court."
Anyway, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Bingzhou has been suppressed and there will be no disturbance within three to five years. By then, it is still unclear who will be in charge of Bingzhou——
It is estimated that it won't 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 work in this position for a while and accumulate some qualifications before going to Luoyang. Aren't the three gongs and nine ministers more noble than the governor of a state?
Of course, these are Ding Yuan's inner thoughts and are not known to outsiders.
When Lu Li heard that the Taoists from Taiping Dao had left Tianjing Pass, he guessed a possibility:
Go south to cause trouble.
At first, they thought that Bingzhou was the easiest place to conquer. There were Xiongnu, Xiutuge, and Qiang people outside, and there were believers in Xihe County inside. Once they rebelled, it would definitely lead to a prairie fire. In other words, it was a block of land. Good bones to chew on.
However, the result was completely contrary to expectations. Although the Bingzhou army was small in number, they were victorious because of their powerful generals. Who would have thought that they could fight thousands of miles within a few days and easily eradicate all internal and external troubles.
In this case, Taipingdao can only choose to go to other states and counties to cause trouble, such as Xuzhou and Qingzhou.
For the Yellow Turban thieves, with the large number of believers in these two places and the strong folk customs, with a little guidance, they will become the main force that shakes up the Han Dynasty.
When Zhang Jiao was alive, that is, in the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban believers in these two states launched an uprising. However, the scale was not large and they were easily suppressed by the army. However, it was not because there were not many believers. On the contrary, the great sage In fact, the teacher has placed high hopes on Qingzhou and Xuzhou.
The reason why this happened is actually very simple. Before the uprising, there was a traitor. Tang Zhou, the commander-in-chief of Qushuai in Jinan, Qingzhou, did not have strong faith enough. He reported it to the court for the sake of personal glory and wealth.
After the governor knew about this, without saying a word, he secretly recruited troops and arrested people directly according to the list. On the day of the uprising, the believers found that all the followers on Shangfeng were gone and had lost their leader. No matter how many they had, they were still in disarray and could not stir up a big war. storm.
However, temporary silence does not mean eternal silence. With the spark of Guo Tai, the Yellow Turbans who have been lurking to recuperate have followed suit. Coupled with the group of Taiping Dao masters who have gone south, the Qingxu two states may be about to erupt. .
"Unfortunately, Han law stipulates that officials in various states are not allowed to leave without permission."
Not long after the war, Lu Li wanted to take credit again, but it was just a thought. 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 wants, it is nothing more than stationing troops and marrying a daughter.
In other words.
The situation in Bingzhou is stable and the people are at peace and worry-free, but other states and counties are different and will become turbulent. Those students scattered all over the world will appear in person and work hard to accumulate strength and influence.
"Duke should go and join Uncle Liu Huang, he is his idol."
With nothing going on, Lu Li secretly thought about the current situation of his two brothers.
One of them has a target, so it is not difficult to guess his whereabouts, but the other one is different. Pan Ming never said who he wanted to seek refuge with.
Could it be that he wants to go it alone and become a prince on his own?
The possibility is slim.
At present, there is only one way to achieve meritorious service, which is to defeat the Yellow Turban thieves, but Liu Bei started his career by fighting the Yellow Turban. He became an Anxi county captain from a hawker who knitted straw sandals, and then followed his senior brother Gongsun Zan to sneak into the coalition army.
With the help of Guan Yu and Zhang Feixiang, Liu Bei had just become a county captain, not to mention Pan Ming who was fighting alone?
In fact, no one noticed that General Yamen Lu Li was distracted. The soldiers continued northward, passing through several counties, and arrived at Jinyang, the seat of Taiyuan County, that evening.
Each battalion built military camps one after another, stationed men and horses, and buried pots for cooking. The smell of chicken and dolphins spread several miles away, while the generals hurriedly handed over the matter and followed Ding Gong directly into the city.
Counting the time, General Zhao, who went to the stone tower to cut off the enemy's retreat, should also be back, and this meant that the celebration party could begin.
Sure enough, as soon as the sun set, Zhao Yun led a group of soldiers and chased them to Jinyang City with two heads in hand.
When he met with Duke Ding, he concealed nothing and explained how many enemies he had killed, how many prisoners he had taken, how to place the prisoners, and the process of fighting the enemy.
When Lu Li opened the wooden box and saw the heads of his two old classmates, Zhou Tian and Du Quan, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and wished he could record this scene forever.
As the saying goes, the knot becomes deeper and deeper.
There was no conflict at first, but starting from the third plot world, perhaps deliberately arranged by the principal, these two guys have been against themselves, also known as: professional villains.
Logically speaking, it's just acting, and you can play whatever role you get, but when huge interests are mixed into it, the feeling changes instantly.
In addition, the so-called acting is different from the conventional understanding. Every character encountered has its own personality and thoughts, just like a real world, no, they are!
When he thought about the death of his captain Zhang Zhao without a complete body, Lu Li could not calm down his anger for a long time. He just waited until the dinner was over and took the heads of Zhou and Du to pay homage to each other the next day.
