Thinking of this, Liu Hong immediately sent a secret letter to Pei Yuanshao.
Pei Yuanshao is in Qingzhou now.
Just in time for the other party to clean up these Qingzhou nobles.
At that time, without the intervention of these nobles, Qingzhou will be in his pocket.
"Are you going to clean up the Qingzhou noble clan?"
A few days later, Pei Yuanshao received the letter.
Looking at the contents of the letter, a hint of ferocity appeared in the corner of his mouth.
He immediately led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command to attack various counties in Qingzhou.
Whenever a county is conquered, only powerful nobles will be plundered.
The Qingzhou nobles, who had already suffered heavy losses in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, were facing another disaster before they could catch their breath.
The losses were heavy.
How many nobles never thought until their death that these yellow scarf thieves, instead of plundering the poor people, would gnaw at the strong bones of these powerful nobles.
I originally planned to sit on the sidelines and watch the fire, take the opportunity to annex the land and raise private slaves.
But they never imagined that the fire would burn directly to themselves.
Suddenly, the reputation of the Yellow Turban Rebellion Army was infamous, and countless nobles in Qingzhou were feared and hated.
Although they united to fight to the death, under the hundreds of thousands of rebel troops, those Xu private soldiers could not even make a splash.
Liu Hong, who was far away in Yanzhou, looked at the secret reports from Qingzhou with amusement in his eyes.
In just over a month, the entire Qingzhou area, except for Beihai County where Kong Rong led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to defend the city, could barely survive.
Pingyuan County is close to Yanzhou, and there is a precedent of the destruction of 20,000 Yellow Turbans, so no one dares to invade.
The remaining counties are in danger.
Although the whole front was not occupied, it was still on fire everywhere.
He thought Qingzhou would be in turmoil, but he didn't expect it would fall so quickly.
Although this is part of the reason why Qingzhou Yellow Turban is so powerful, on the other hand it also shows that Kong Rong, the governor of Qingzhou, was not capable enough to take on the big task.
There wasn't even any decent resistance.
"Jin Yiwei hasn't penetrated enough."
Liu Hong whispered.
He had already ordered three thousand imperial guards to carry the trained messenger birds and infiltrate every county in the Han Dynasty.
Recruit offline and establish an intelligence base station.
Because the time is still short, most Jinyiwei can only have access to superficial information.
Used as an information transfer station.
Only in Yanzhou and Qingzhou, Jinyiwei's development is pretty good.
Yanzhou is his base, and he can manage it up and down.
The current situation in Qingzhou is chaotic and it is easy to fish in troubled waters.
Some of the powerful Jin Yiwei have even infiltrated into the noble clan, holding important positions and having access to some secrets.
As for other states, it is estimated that it will take some time to take effect.
However, his primary goal now is to capture Qingzhou, and he is not in a hurry.
...
Qingzhou fell soon after.
The news has already spread to the court in Luoyang, the capital city.
"How dare you be so rampant!"
Liu Hong's face turned red and he shouted angrily in the court hall.
All the ministers in the court lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
"Do you guys have a solution?"
Liu Hong had a gloomy face and glanced at the officials in the court.
"I am willing to accept my order!"
Among the crowd, Zhu Jun stepped out.
Liu Hong was overjoyed when he saw this.
"I appointed Zhu Jun as the Right Chariot and Cavalry General to uphold integrity and suppress rebellions in various places."
Right now.
Situ Yuan Wei suddenly bowed and wrote.
"Your Majesty, I have a proposal."
Liu Hong glanced at Situ Yuan Wei and motioned for him to continue.
"What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, Yanzhou and Qingzhou are handing over. I believe that the governor of Yanzhou can lead the army to suppress the rebels."
When Liu Hong heard this, he felt a little moved.
During the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion, the performance of the governor of Yanzhou could be said to be very outstanding.
Moreover, the two states are close, so it would be an idea to send the governor of Yanzhou to suppress the rebellion in Qingzhou.
Zhang Rang on the side heard this, but a coldness flashed in his eyes.
This old thief deserves to die.
This was not an obvious attempt to drag his closest relative and adoptive father into this muddy water.
If the adoptive father had some shortcomings, wouldn't it be a big deal for him?
Thinking of this, Zhang Rang slowly approached Liu Hong's ear and whispered.
"Your Majesty, Yanzhou has just calmed down the current chaos, and the old general is too old. I am afraid it is inappropriate to act like this."
Hearing this, Liu Hong was silent for a moment.
When he was "helping with the palace money", Zhang Rang paid a lot of money in Liu Hong's name, and then he was able to secure his position as governor.
What if you die during the expedition and no one will pay you in the future?
"Let what Father said make sense and let this matter go!"
Liu Hong waved his hand.
No matter how chaotic Qingzhou is, it is nothing more than a minor problem in his opinion and can be easily suppressed by the power of the imperial court.
At most it will take some time and energy.
But if the money is gone, it’s really gone.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed the best strategy for the governor of Yanzhou to lead his troops on an expedition!"
"enough!"
Situ Yuan Wei also wanted to say something.
Liu Hong stopped in a deep voice. He is the emperor of this big man. When will it be the turn of these ministers to teach him how to do things?
Zhang Rang looked at Situ Yuan Wei with secret hatred in his heart.
This old guy is not at home waiting to die. He misses his adoptive father every day.
Staying in the court will ruin his good deeds sooner or later.
Thinking that Liu Hong was very dissatisfied with this old thief on weekdays, now he even angered Long Wei with his lack of eyesight.
Isn’t it a God-given opportunity?
Let him drag this old thief down from his position as the Third Duke.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rang suddenly had an idea and whispered in Liu Hong's ear.
"Your Majesty, a few days ago Cui Lie, a famous scholar in Jizhou, through Mrs. Cheng, was willing to exchange five million for the position of Situ."
"Your Majesty, why don't you..."
Zhang Rang didn't finish his words.
Liu Hong's eyes lit up and he knew his thoughts instantly.
"I'd better let my father understand me!"
His voice changed immediately and he spoke loudly.
"Situ Yuan Wei did not think about his duties in his position and was too selfish. He dismissed the post of Situ and appointed Cui Lie as the post of Situ."
Liu Hong's voice fell.
There was silence in the court hall.
Yuan Wei's face turned pale, but he could only bow his head and thank him.
...
Yanzhou, Changyi County.
"This old boy finally stepped down."
Liu Hong was in a good mood when he read the letter from Luoyang.
He has been unhappy with Yuan Wei for a long time.
It was this old boy who targeted him last time, and the governor of Yanzhou who almost let him get it all flew away.
I never thought I would be here today.
However, Zhang Rang worked so hard to help him, so he couldn't say anything.
After thinking about it, he wrote a letter and sent it directly to Luoyang.
As for the content of the letter, it is also very simple. In three months, a pill can be refined.
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it.
After delaying this for so long, it’s time to give this cheap adopted son a taste of sweetness.
After doing everything, Liu Hong returned to the room.
The room was dark.
A burst of fragrance hit my nostrils.
Liu Hong was confused, Wen Ji wasn't there?
at this time.
"Husband, Wen Ji has already shared her thoughts with Sister Diao Chan."
Wenji's soft and weak voice sounded.
Liu Hong smiled.
"Then my husband should learn a lesson from me."
"Husband, hehe, what do you want to learn from Sister Wenji?"
Diao Chan, Zhang Ning, and Cheng Ying were smiling and holding candles in their hands.
Liu Hong raised his eyebrows.
