Seeing the relief on Guan Hai's face, Liao Hua knew what he was thinking. Liao Hua chuckled and said, "Brother Guan doesn't think that the eldest lady is helping my lord to win the battle, right?"
"Of course, other than this, is there any other explanation?" Guan Hai said matter-of-factly. In his opinion, without Zhang Ning's help, how could Liu Zhang always win the battle!
Liao Hua shook his head and said with a smile: "My lord does not allow the eldest lady to participate in the military at all. On weekdays, the eldest lady only serves the lord in the inner house! And the lord does not know that the eldest lady knows Taoism. He just regards her as a weak woman. Otherwise, the eldest lady here today would be the lord."
Miss!"
"This...Yuanjian, you don't need to say anything. Over the years, I just want to find a good home for my brothers. As long as you borrow food and grass, I will join the champion!" Guan Hai understood that Liao Hua said this to be firm.
His confidence, but he still felt a little incredible. Guan Hai didn't know why Zhang Jiao chose Liu Zhang back then, but he knew that Zhang Jiao's choice would not be wrong!
Seeing that Guan Hai had made up his mind, Liao Hua and Zhou Cang walked out of the military camp and came to the foot of Beihai City. Seeing the two men of Guan Hai's army, the primary school on the city couldn't help but became very nervous and said: "Yellow scarf thieves, don't waste your efforts! Kong
Beihai has said that he will not lend you food!"
"Tell Kong Beihai that the champion Liu Zhang has an envoy!" Liao Hua stood at the foot of the city and ignored the primary school. The words "yellow turban thief" had deeply hurt his heart.
I think back then, the Yellow Turbans wanted the people to live a good life before revolting, but now they are called thieves. Although Liao Hua understands the principle of success as a king and defeat as a bandit, he still feels sad for the Yellow Turbans.
"Crown...champion lord?" The principal was stunned for a moment and rushed to the prefect's mansion.
Kong Rong was sighing sadly with everyone in the Prefect's Mansion. When he saw the principal rushing in without courtesy, he couldn't help but asked angrily: "How can you be so flustered? What happened!"
"There is... there is a messenger!" Xiao Xiao ran too fast, panting, and his words were a little choppy.
"Let him go!" Kong Rong said with an indignant look: "As a Han Dynasty governor, how can I associate with thieves? I said it! I will never lend food to the Yellow Turban thieves!"
"No...not a Yellow Turban thief!" The colonel calmed down and said, "They are the envoys of the champion Hou Liu Zhang!"
"Who?" Kong Rong pressed his ears, as if he didn't hear clearly.
"Champion Hou Liu Zhang!" the principal shouted loudly, and the hall immediately fell silent.
"Please come quickly!" Kong Rong finally heard clearly, and he quickly ordered people to invite Zhou Cang and Liao Hua into the city.
Originally, Xiao Xiao's intention was to hoist Zhou Cang and Liao Hua into the city in baskets, but Liao Hua asked Xiao Xiao to open the city gate and enter, and guaranteed that Guan Hai would not take the opportunity to attack the city. Xiao Xiao could not defeat the two of them, so he had to listen to Liao Hua.
Of course, this is what Kong Rong meant.
"See Kong Beihai!" When they arrived at the Beihai Prefecture, Liao Hua and Zhou Cang immediately saluted Kong Rong. In fact, they looked down on Kong Rong a little, but they had to bow their heads because of Guan Hai's brothers.
"No courtesy!" Kong Rong asked with a smile: "The champion Hou is far away in Yizhou, and he will send you here. I don't know what's important!"
Liao Hua said straight to the point: "Kong Beihai didn't know something. The two of us were born in the Yellow Turbans and were captured by our lord in Guangzong. I felt the lord's benevolence, so I surrendered! Now that the world is in chaos and the emperor is in trouble, my lord wants to help the country.
However, our strength is low and our army is weak, unable to handle the big task. In order to increase our strength, our lord has absorbed the refugees. However, the largest group of refugees in the world are the Yellow Turbans! Therefore, my lord ordered me and I to persuade the Yellow Turbans everywhere to surrender, so as to avoid the loss of lives!"
"This..." Kong Rong asked weakly: "Has Guan Hai outside the city surrendered to the champion?"
"Exactly!" Liao Hua took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Kong Rong and said: "Kong Beihai, in fact, the Yellow Turbans are common people who can't survive. As long as they have something to eat, who is willing to tie their heads to their waists and risk their lives?"
"You don't need to say anything!" Kong Rong couldn't help but smile after reading the letter: "I'm not ignorant! But hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans are not something Beihai City can support! Guan Hai wants food, and if I give it to him, he
What should I do when I come back next time? Since he is willing to submit to the champion, I will give him a month's worth of food, which can be considered as a thin meal for the champion!"
"Then thank you Kong Beihai!" Liao Hua was overjoyed. He really didn't expect Kong Rong to be so easy to talk to.
"A little food and grass is nothing! If the champion really has the heart to help the world, I can send Beihai to it, no matter what!" Kong Rong was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, otherwise he would not be friends with Wang Yun and Cai Yong
.It’s just that he is indifferent by nature and would never participate in a power struggle unless forced to do so.
After bidding farewell to Kong Rong, Liao Hua and Zhou Cang returned to Guan Hai's camp. Seeing that they had borrowed grain and grass, Guan Hai naturally would not break his promise. While he sent people to Beihai to pick up grain and grass, he ordered the Yellow Turban Army to retreat to the mountains, while Kong Rong
Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army had indeed retreated, he immediately sent Wang Xiu to deliver food and grass!
One hundred thousand stones of grain and grass is not a small amount. It took Guan Hai and Kong Rong three full days to transport it! After Guan Hai got the grain and grass, he immediately distributed it and asked his subordinate Huang Jin to go to Yizhou, Bingzhou or Chang'an. Of course,
You don’t have to go! If you starve to death by then, you can’t blame him for Guan Hai!
On the fifth day, the Yellow Turban thieves near Beihai were almost gone. Liao Hua and Zhou Cang took Guan Hai to apologize to Kong Rong. Kong Rong was not a stingy person, so he gave Guan Hai a lesson and told him to be loyal to the Han Dynasty.
If you are loyal to Liu Zhang, you won't care anymore. Of course, Kong Rong also lost a banquet.
Just when Liao Hua and others were preparing to leave, Liu Bei arrived with his troops. Seeing the empty space outside Beihai City, not only Liu Bei but also Taishi Ci were shocked! If it weren't for the numerous footprints left on the ground outside Beihai City,
As well as the traces left when setting up camp, Liu Bei thought that Beihai had never suffered from military rebellion, because there was not even a trace of blood smell outside Beihai City. How could there be no casualties in the war?
"Xuande!" Seeing Liu Bei, Kong Rong wanted to introduce him to Liao Hua and others. In Kong Rong's heart, Liu Zhang and Liu Bei were both members of the Han clan. Wouldn't it be a good thing if they could help each other?
"Kong Beihai, let's say goodbye!" Although Liao Hua and others were born in the Yellow Turbans, they looked down on Liu Bei, who weaved mats and sold shoes. What's more, Liu Zhang had always doubted Liu Bei's identity, and no matter how stupid Liao Hua was, he would not have a relationship with Liu Bei.
Kong Rong smiled and said: "General Liao, please go slowly. The person coming here is also a member of the Han clan. Why don't you let me introduce it to you?"
"We appreciate Kong Beihai's kindness!" Liao Hua said with a smile: "My lord-in-law often said that from the time of Emperor Gaozu to the present day, there have been only eight thousand Han clan members, if not ten thousand. If everyone wanted to help the Han clan, wouldn't the world be in chaos? As for that,
There are countless people with the surname Liu. Does it mean that the surname Liu is a clan member? My lord wants to kill all those people who pretend to be a clan member and invite people to buy their hearts!"
"You..." A big black man next to Liu Bei pointed at Liao Hua and said: "My eldest brother is a member of the Han clan. Do you dare to say that he is not? Come on! Fight with me for three hundred rounds?"
"It's up to you to decide whether it's right or wrong. What's the use of killing me?" Liao Hua sneered: "You vulgar people have the guts to fight with my lord's generals Huang Zhong, Guan Yu and other generals, and bully an envoy here. You
Really promising!"
"You..." The big black man was furious and stretched out his hand to hit Liao Hua. Liu Bei and Wei Yan couldn't stop him even if they wanted to.
"Bang!" The big black man staggered with fists and kicks, but Guan Hai took three steps back.
"Third brother..." Liu Bei quickly stepped in front, and Wei Yan also held the big man back.
"I will remember today's humiliation! Let's go!" Liao Hua and the others got on their horses and drove away. Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, not to mention Liu Bei, even Kong Rong was a little stunned.
"Alas!" Liu Bei sighed and said: "Kong Beihai, my brother has been reckless and offended your distinguished guest. Since you are no longer in trouble, I will leave now!"
"Xuande!" Kong Rong grabbed Liu Bei and said with a smile: "The champion is a proud man of heaven, and the people under his command are naturally arrogant. Don't take it personally. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet. Thank you for your rescue!"
"
Liao Hua and others can look down on Liu Bei, but Kong Rong cannot. Kong Rong can offend Liu Zhang, because Liu Zhang is in Yizhou and out of reach of him, and Liu Bei is in Pingyuan. If Kong Rong angers Liu Bei and causes Liu Bei to lead his troops to attack Beihai, then
That’s trouble!
"Then I'll bother Kong Beihai!" At Kong Rong's enthusiastic invitation, Liu Bei entered Beihai City with an embarrassed look on his face, while the dark man behind him mumbled something he didn't know what he was talking about.
At the same time, not far from Beihai, Liao Hua and three other people were sitting on the ground. Guan Hai looked at his hands that were cracked by the tiger's mouth, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Fortunately, I surrendered! If you had come a step later, I would have been dead! There are actually people under Liu Bei's command.
Such a fierce general!"
"Brother Guan, I will report this matter to my lord. My lord dislikes Liu Bei the most and will definitely avenge you!" Looking at Guan Hai's bloody hands, Liao Hua couldn't help but feel annoyed. After all, it was his rude words that made Guan Hai
injured.
Guan Hai smiled and said: "Since my lord doesn't like Liu Bei, don't report this matter! If my lord knows that I am so incompetent, won't it affect my status in my lord's mind?"
"What a shitty status!" Zhou Cang said with a smile: "You are the only one with a yellow turban, but you still have status in the heart of the lord? Your martial arts are on par with mine, but my martial arts are not even as good as the lord! You should just listen honestly.
Lord, give your orders!"
"That's natural. Even if my martial arts skills are better than the master's, I still have to obey his orders!" Guan Hai asked with a smile: "Old Zhou, Yuan Jian, what should we do next?"
Liao Hua scratched his head and said: "My lord asked us to try our best to surrender the Yellow Turbans, but I heard that some time ago, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were basically defeated by Cao Cao. Only Zhang Yan from Black Mountain is still in control in Jizhou. Although Zhang Yan has no ambitions, he will not
The three of us will surrender based on our words, why don't we go back to Yizhou and return our orders to our lord!"
"Okay!" Liao Hua has always been Zhou Cang's think tank, because Liao Hua is smarter than Zhou Cang. As for Guan Hai, he was the target of surrender and had no say.
Since Liao Hua said he would go back to Yizhou, Zhou Cang helped Guan Hai bandage his hands, and the three of them rode towards Yizhou! They wanted to pass by Yanzhou, but they heard a shocking news. Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, gathered all his troops and killed him.
