Ye Qing grabbed the peach core, red flames rose in his hands, and the peach core instantly turned into ashes. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't tell your sister Qianqian about this."
Although Zhou Ling was confused and understood, the advantage was that she would do whatever Ye Qing asked her to do without saying anything, so she nodded obediently and remained silent.
At this moment, Qianqian is coming in.
Ye Qing looked relaxed and nodded to her with a smile: "Hello, Mi Xiaololi, you have grown into a young girl after two years without changing anything. It's really gratifying to congratulate you."
He said and clapped his hands without leaving any trace, only ashes scattered on the ground.
"Why are you smiling so weirdly..." Qianqian frowned and looked at Ye Qing, then at Zhou Ling, sniffed, and felt a little suspicious: "I haven't even been here, and you guys came here to do it... Eh.
, what is this ash?
The girl fiddled with a thin layer of dust on the ground. There was a smell of barbecued peach kernels in the air, and there was also a slight fragrance, which confirmed the source of the strange feeling in her heart, as if something important had just happened.
"Uh-" Zhou Ling burped again, quickly covered her mouth, and blinked innocently.
"Stealing delicious food." Ye Qing pulled Qianqian out of the secret passage, not wanting to stay here any longer.
"Humph, forget it if you don't want to say it..." Qianqian wrinkled her nose as if she didn't believe it. The real person's sensitivity made her aware of the suspicion, but she didn't say more. It was not an affair after all. Besides, even if there was ambiguity, it was not an affair. Zhou Ling had already
Everything on the list is tacitly accepted.
"Don't you want to ask about Dreamland? I'll tell you tonight." Ye Qing said calmly, unconsciously holding the girl's hand tightly, just like when Dreamland took her to escape.
The tension in Qianqian's heart was relieved inexplicably, and she squinted her eyes and smiled.
Zhou Ling followed ignorantly. She had some strange feelings about this matter, but the young master had done so many strange things that she didn't bother to think about why... But that peach tasted really good. She had never tasted such a delicious peach before.
Ye Qing suddenly paused in the courtyard in front and raised his head to look at the sky.
The two women looked at the clouds. The stars in the night sky were brilliant, and a star river called "Yinhan" stretched across the sky, showing a beauty and mystery that was completely different from the starry sky on the ground.
"Young Master likes the look of the starry sky very much." Zhou Ling thought to herself, and when she saw Qianqian accompanying her, she went back to her room to rest alone.
As soon as I lay on the bed, I felt a cool and liquid spiritual energy rushing up from my perineum. I was instantly stimulated, my bone marrow was warmed and washed, and I fell asleep unconsciously.
It was already dawn when I woke up again, and I felt something had changed on my body. Before I could focus on myself, I heard the sound of drumming coming from far outside the window.
"We are summoning the generals at the school grounds... Oops, I went to bed late." As the captain of the personal guards, Zhou Ling rushed to the commander's tent in the school grounds, but was stopped by a beauty like snow jade: "Where are Ling Ling going?"
"...Sister Gan."
"My husband said that you are in a special situation now. Don't go to the trouble and take a good rest for a few days." Mrs. Gan, or Cao Baijing, stopped her back.
Hey... special?
Only then did Zhou Ling realize that there was something strange about her body. It was a feeling that all barriers were gone. When she shook her sword, white light rose from the sword.
Sheathed the sword and looked inside, a small pure white sword seed was floating in the Dantian, warming and guarding, waiting to cut through everything.
"Is this a sword species?" No matter how ignorant Zhou Ling was, she instantly understood that this was actually the introduction to the real sword immortal. Although this sword species was small, a spiritual pool had been opened inside.
This essence is the same as that of Dragon Balls. Just thinking about it, I felt a little dazed, staring at the resolute face with the white air rising and falling in the sword. Is this what I want to protect in my heart?
Even at any cost...
Pure white air permeates the air, originating from gold and exceeding gold. This is the way of sword cultivation. With this kind of sword, when you return to the earth and refine it, you can officially enter the threshold of the sword immortal.
The young master was so kind to her. The young girl realized this clearly and was confused for a moment.
When the drums stopped playing, Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood guard at the entrance of the commander's tent. They both had bodies like bears and tigers, full of evil spirits.
The lights were brightly lit in the big tent, and Ye Qing was sitting on the White Tiger Commander's throne. When he looked around, he saw all the generals gathered together, but only Zhang Fei and the other twenty or so who stayed in the county.
In the past two years, since Zhang Liao was appointed as an infantry captain of the Northern Army by the Empress Dowager, he had protected her through the crisis of palace confinement several times and gained her trust.
Ye Qing took the opportunity to continuously recommend officials to the Queen Mother. Xu Shu (Lu Shangjing), Xi Zhicai, Zhuge Jin and other civil servants were appointed as county magistrates in various counties in Yuzhou. Zhao Yun recommended to the Northern Army in Luoyang, and Guan Yu also allowed a group of middle- and high-level generals to serve in other counties.
.
The wings are spread all over Yuzhou. At a glance, I can see a pure white and silky red torrent rolling on the land of Yuzhou, under my control.
There is another declining red-yellow torrent, which overlaps and differs from my own torrent.
On his own body, it is a rich golden yellow, faintly nurturing the slightest hint of cyan.
"Historically, when Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Shu, his dragon spirit was only white with red streaks, and he was only light green."
"Of course the Three Kingdoms are all the same, even Wei is not pure red."
"This is not only the reason for the sharp decline in population, but also because the country was founded not long ago, the system is incomplete, and it relies more on powerful landlords, which leads to the lack of control."
Ye Qing looked at these and realized that before the Yellow Turban Uprising, although the Han Dynasty was decayed, the dragon's aura was still light yellow, which showed that the system was deeply rooted and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
As for the Three Kingdoms, whether Wei, Wu, or Shu, their legal systems are far from being truly recognized by the people, powerful people, and officials.
Even the Jin Dynasty was called the Emperor of the White Emperor in the future, and the dragon energy was just white, floating on the surface.
Let’s not think about this for now. Anyway, with this attitude, Liu Bei’s army has already become a prince. All that’s missing is his status as a Yuzhou shepherd...
This is different from the false name of Yuzhou Shepherd obtained by taking refuge with Cao Cao in history. What is needed is a real name.
Six months ago, Liu Bei proposed to the court, but Dong Zhuo naturally blocked it and postponed it. However, due to the recent drastic changes in Luoyang, the Queen Mother completely lost power and failed to do so.
Someone was reporting news from Qiao County in eastern Henan: "Cao Cao personally conquered Xuzhou, and at the same time sent Xia Houyuan and Li Dian to lead an army of 20,000 to invade our territory in eastern Henan. For a time, all the prefectures and magistrates were in despair. Only Qiao Guo Wei Huang Zhong said
We will take a defensive counterattack and attach a letter asking for help from Xuzhou Mu Taoqian. Please read it, my lord."
Ye Qing glanced at him and said in a joking tone: "Look, Mr. Cao is used to being stabbed by others, and he is also afraid of being stabbed in the back."
Zhang Fei was furious: "Brother, I told you that except for Huang Hansheng, all the rats are unreliable."
Zhou Feng, Zhang Fangbiao and others all knew about the governor, and they all frowned secretly when they saw it: "These governors and magistrates surrendered too quickly. It must be someone from the ground who took the lead to form this trend."
"With the help of various aristocratic families, the governor was asked to occupy the entire Yanzhou early and attack everywhere. In contrast, the lord gradually started his career in Yingchuan County in western Henan. He had just controlled the entire territory of Yuzhou for less than a year, and his rule in eastern Henan was very unstable.
, whether Huang Zhong can hold Qiao County is still a question, but with Guo Jia here, he will not suffer a loss...
Zhou Feng thought like this and had some doubts: "Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao are famous, but Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng are already middle-aged. They have not been famous for twenty years. The Lord seems to value him very much? In the counties and countries in eastern Henan
Except for local government officials and militiamen, all three thousand regular troops were handed over to this man."
Different from the scruples of the people on the ground, Zhang Fei was already asking for a fight: "Brother, let me lead three thousand cavalry troops to support Han Sheng. I will definitely defeat Cao Mengde."
Ye Qing did not speak immediately. Last year, he and Cao Cao competed for the east of Henan. He asked the Queen Mother to be the governor of Yuzhou, but Dong Zhuo rejected it. As a result, he was unsuccessful and had to be appointed governor of Yuzhou.
This was not enough in the name of strong local integration, and the military strength was only expanded to 30,000, of which more than 5,000 cavalry were veterans brought from Youzhou.
This core force must be used on the edge of the knife. It is obvious that Cao Cao's attack in eastern Henan is just a cover, and Xuzhou's rescue is the key...
What is even more worrying is Luoyang. Secret reports say that Dong Zhuo has begun to move his belongings to Chang'an.
"Bring Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Sili Shapan." Ye Qing waved his hand, and several soldiers moved out from the back tent and placed them in the tent to occupy four tables. The group of people was very excited and gathered around to watch and discuss.
Then I saw Dian Wei coming over with his tent raised: "The scouts reported that there is news about the Northern Army in Luoyang."
"explain."
"General Zilong was ordered to cross secretly with Queen Mother Luan. When they passed through Yangcheng, they sent a pigeon to ask for help. This is a letter handwritten by Zilong. Please read it, my lord."
Ye Qing took it.
I saw only a piece of coarse cloth dripping with ink. There was no flashiness, just a brief description of the process——
"The search for Luoyang was becoming more and more intense. General Wenyuan allocated two hundred secret cavalry to welcome the Queen Mother to the secret village in the southern suburbs of Luoyang. In order to avoid the blockade of Hulao Pass in the east, he dismounted from Xincheng and walked south into the mountains, entering the Qinzheng Ancient Road.
, is expected to return east via Jiahe, Liangzhai, Shuniugou, Fuliudian, Yangling, Banpo, Dajindian and other places."
"The journey went well at first. When we passed through Yangcheng, the Yangcheng County magistrate sent a message to Dong Zhuo. Miss Cicada sent an urgent message to Luoyang. Xu Rong was ordered to lead 3,000 light cavalry from Hulao Pass to intercept the Queen Mother and prepare crossbows to intercept the Queen Mother.
, it is expected that we will encounter it one day later.”
The last sentence: "Yun Zi is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that the Empress Dowager Luan will miss her during the breakout of the rebel army, so she sincerely asks the lord for reinforcements one day in advance."
"Zilong is indeed careful and considerate in his actions. I am very relieved." Ye Qing knew that bringing a pampered woman into the battle was far more difficult to protect than bringing a baby Adou. The most important thing is that this is not a dead end road on Changban Slope. There are many reinforcements. Zhao Yun knows that there is no need to take risks.
.
As he spoke, he pressed down the piece of cloth and narrowed his eyes: "Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo... they attacked one thing and the other at the same time. Did the two thieves cooperate well?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, and some people already cursed: "Cao Thief"
Ye Qing thought that if he were really Duke Cao, he would never do this. Compared with the governor, he had no bottom line. Do you really think that relying on the alliance of heaven and man to set up a new stove can ignore the remaining power of the Han Dynasty?
"Report——The scouts sent by General Zilong have arrived."
"Call the scouts up."
Someone came up and said: "Lord"
Ye Qing knew this veteran who had been following him since Youzhou. When he saw that he was sweating profusely and had a gray face, and it was obvious that he was rushing over with three horses and one person, he said gently: "Where exactly?"
"Qin Zheng Ancient Road..." The scout was still a little nervous, but after training in map recognition, he was more comfortable identifying on the sand table: "I was here when I left, at the foot of this mountain west of Yangcheng, General Zhao's two hundred cavalry.
Luan Jia and the maid have been abandoned, and only the Queen Mother and her daughter are with them. They are expected to rush to this valley to meet the enemy - this is the sixteenth stronghold prepared by our army, with sufficient reserves of various military supplies, and even
Ye Huolei"
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes and remembered this object, but the properties of the crystals in the soil were not dense, so the effect was only a reduced version, and there was only one in stock. It was only for emergency use and could not scare Xu Rong.
"It's a hundred miles away from this county, so we have to leave immediately..." Ye Qing straightened up and walked around and stared at Sili's sand table.
The sand table makes everything clear. Yuzhou, or Henan, was the foundation of Zheng's dominance in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there was indeed such an ancient road in the high mountains between Qin and Zheng.
At that time, the Qin State opened up a strategic ancient road to seize the Zheng State and form a circle around the Zhou Dynasty. It was more valuable in terms of economic transportation and influence. The actual military transport capacity was limited, and there was no way to talk about the food road.
The advantage of allowing a small army to pass temporarily is that it can bypass the Sishui Pass at that time, which is now the Hulao Pass where Dong Zhuo garrisoned heavy troops.
Ye Qing thought for a while and made a decision: "Jian Yong, you go to Xuzhou and let Tao Qian hold on for another half month, then I can send reinforcements to Xuzhou."
"yes"
"Zhou Feng led 3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry to support eastern Henan. Huang Hansheng was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and Guo Fengxiao was appointed as the military advisor. He told Fengxiao that he had done a good job in harassing Cao's territory this year. This campaign defeated Cao's strategy and continued
He praised the painting."
"Follow your orders"
"Yide led three thousand cavalry troops to go north to Chenliu Kingdom. Under the command of your second brother, help me attack Sili Henan Yin, gather troops at Hulao Pass, and cut off Xu Rong's retreat." Ye Qing glanced at Zhang Fei who was eager to try:
"No drinking allowed.
"...Now that I know, brother, what will the Queen Mother do?"
"If you order a thousand cavalry troops, I will personally go and pick them up."
"One thousand is too little." Zhang Fei blinked anxiously, fearing danger.
"That's enough. We have a magician accompanying us. The key is you and Yun Chang."
"Xu Rong, a native of Xuantu County, Liaodong Kingdom, Youzhou, was one of the most outstanding commanders in Dong Zhuo's army. He led a strong force from Xiliang. It took him two years of fighting to force him out of Hulao Pass." Ye Qing knew that Xu Rong later had great successes.
Defeating Cao Cao and Sun Jian, this kind of commander must have known the risks of this trip, and it was probably the result of Dong Hei's pressure from above.
I remember that when Xu Rong finally died in battle, it was Wang Yun who forced him to lead the new soldiers into battle.
Don't be afraid of enemies who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.
"A good opportunity must not be missed." Ye Qing glanced at the tent and saw that Zhang Fei was still worried, so he deliberately said: "Since my fellow Youzhou fellow has come out, you have to protect me and don't let him go back easily."
