Chapter Qingzhou Crisis

In the Qingzhou capital, Linzi, in the governor's mansion, Gong Jingzheng was entertaining a guest with joy.

Gong Jing has a simple appearance. I don’t know if it is because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. This governor looks not very energetic, and his expression is slow. He is over fifty years old but has a white hair and silver hair (Gong Jing was originally a fictional character in the Romance, and this appearance description is also fictional). Of course, those who can enjoy this treatment will not be an unknown person.

At this time, Gong Jing picked up the wine glass and smiled at the guests on the seat: "Baihua wine is indeed one of the top ten famous wines in China! I, Gong Jing, should have been the one who was the general Zhaode, but I didn't want the wine in the prefecture to compare with Lord Aniu's Baihua wine, so I couldn't even sip it, haha."

It is not difficult to judge from Gong Jing's words that the person sitting upright in the hall at this time was of course the Lord of Fengxiang City and the fifth-rank General Zhaode Zheng Aniu, and Gong Zheng, who was quite familiar with Aniu, was also accompanying him.

Fengxiang has gained many benefits from Qingzhou Prefecture, but before that, a city lord almost always maintained a single-line contact with Gong Zheng. This was the first time he met Gong Jing. Therefore, before leaving, A Niu naturally would not forget to bring some specialties, such as the Baihua Wine that everyone is drinking now. A Niu felt the unique charm of Baihua Wine. So far, the temptation of this Baihua Wine is almost unstoppable!

Seeing Gong Jing toasting, A Niu raised his glass to respond and said with a smile: "If A Niu's territory had not been taken care of by the governor and the young master, he would not have the honor of the world's number one city today. Naturally, this Baihua wine would not be brewed. At this time, he could drink such a good wine, in the final analysis, but he was the care of the governor in the past. Such courtesy made A Niu very uneasy."

As the lord of a city of fifth-rank general Zhaode, although it is roughly the same as Gong Jing in terms of official rank, Fengxiang City is still a city under Qingzhou. Qingzhou Prefecture is naturally Fengxiang's superior. As the saying goes, county officials are worse than to be in charge. It is obviously not harmful to be polite to Gong Jing.

"Mr. A Niu, you need to be polite. It is precisely because of Fengxiang City's outstanding performance that our Qingzhou Prefecture can be so proud. Not only have we won the honor of the world's number one town and the first city, A Niu is now the highest official rank among the lords, including the General of the Cavalry, who praised A Niu."

The General of Cavalry that Gong Jing mentioned was Lu Zhi. Although this governor didn't know how A Niu got involved with Lu Zhi, the fifth-rank governor was obviously far less powerful than the General of Cavalry. In addition, Feng Xiang had always had a good relationship with Qingzhou Prefecture, and Feng Xiang sold a big yellow crossbow to the Prefecture, so Gong Jing did not dare to neglect a certain city lord at all.

"The Governor is so polite. Although Fengxiang was lucky enough to be the best city in the world, when he went to Linzi today, he realized that Fengxiang City is simply a small village compared to Linzi."

"If Aniu had not come to Linzi this time, I don't know when he would meet. I wonder what plans would Aniu have for coming to Linzi this time?"

The city lord did not answer immediately and ordered the ten iron guards in the hall to wait outside first. Gong Jing was also a mature man. Seeing A Niu doing this, he guessed that there must be some confidential matters, so he naturally drove the idle people in the hall out, with only Gong Jing and A Niu present.

Gong Zheng temporarily played a guest role as a servant, filled the empty wine glasses in front of Gong Jing and A Niu and said with a smile: "Today, I saw A Niu coming to the prefecture for the first time, and I knew that there must be something important. Now there are no outsiders in the hall. If A Niu has anything to do, it doesn't matter."

A city lord smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. This time I did not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. The purpose of A Niu's trip is related to the great importance. It not only concerns the life and death of Fengxiang City, but also the stability of our Qingzhou. This time I came to Linzi, I actually came to ask the governor for help!"

Gong Jing and Gong Zheng were shocked.

The combat effectiveness of Fengxiang City has been verified in repeated battles, and weapons such as the Great Yellow Crossbow are even jealous of Qingzhou Prefecture. Now A Niu actually claims that he is here to ask the prefecture for help this time, and the matter seems a bit weird. Judging from the expression and expression of a certain city lord, it is obviously not a joke.

"In Qingzhou now, what force can make Lord A Niu unable to deal with it? The situation is so serious that it needs to join forces with the prefecture to fight the enemy?" Gong Jing felt cold. Although there were far more soldiers in Qingzhou Prefecture than Fengxiang, his combat effectiveness was probably not even half of Fengxiang City.

"Who else can I have except the Yellow Turban Army?" A city lord seemed to be telling a natural thing.

"Yellow Turban Army? No! When Aniu's territory was only a first-level township, he could resist the main force of nearly 10,000 Yellow Turban Army. If I remember correctly, the Yellow Turban Army led the team at that time was known as the best at using troops. Could it be that the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou still pose such a great threat to Aniu's Fengxiang City?" Gong Zheng even doubted whether a certain city lord was overly stimulated by the majesty of Linzi City, and now he started talking nonsense.

"What the young master said is not bad. The Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou has not had enough strength to launch major operations recently. But what if the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou are included? I'm afraid the governor also knows that Ma Yuanyi, the number one figure of the Yellow Turban Army, is in Xinyang Town, Qingzhou!" A Niu was still so calm, but the lethality of these words was obviously amazing. Gong Jing's body shook, and the pottery wine glass in Gong Zheng's hand fell directly to the ground, and after a crisp sound, it was crushed to pieces.

"The Yellow Turban Army in Ji, Yan, and Xuzhou are all moving towards Qingzhou? What A Niu said seriously?" Gong Jing is not a person with amazing talents. For him, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou is still unstoppable. In addition to the Yellow Turban Army in other prefectures and counties, he doesn't have to do the Qingzhou governor.

"Well. I believe that within ten days at most, the governor will get the exact news. I fought with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army many times, especially the recent two battles have caused great losses to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, Ma Yuanyi has urgently drawn the main Yellow Turban troops from the neighboring three states into Qingzhou, and is preparing to work with the main Yellow Turban troops of Qingzhou to carry out a thunder strike against me, Fengxiang. Although Fengxiang has been upgraded to a first-level city, the city wall has not been built now, so it is impossible to resist the main Yellow Turban forces of the four states!"

Aniu's territory has always involved too much attention from the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, which has greatly alleviated the pressure on Qingzhou Prefecture. This is also one of the reasons why Gong Jing and his son value Aniu so much. Now Fengxiang City is facing a catastrophe. When Fengxiang is truly eliminated, Qingzhou Prefecture needs to face the Yellow Turban Army's fangs and claws. It is undoubtedly an impossible task for Qingzhou Prefecture, which lacks good generals!

Aniu and Gong Jing knew about this situation, so Aniu was confident to ask Qingzhou Prefecture for help. No matter from any aspect, Qingzhou Prefecture did not have the ability to refuse and had to help Fengxiang overcome the difficulties.

"Where did A Niu know about such a major thing? The state capital has not received any news yet."

If Gong Jing could sit as the governor of Qingzhou, he would naturally not easily believe the one-sided words of a certain city lord. If what A Niu said was true, such a major military operation would definitely be the highest secret even within the Yellow Turban Army, and there were only a handful of people who wanted to know this news.

A Niu sighed and did not directly answer Gong Jing's question, but first asked:

"Sir, Master, can you tell me why the Yellow Turban Army has been pursuing A Niu's territory and has not given up even though it has been repeatedly frustrated?"

"I don't know."

"In addition to the initial death of *cao in Fengxiang, and A Niu's fifth brother picked up the hatred of Zhang Jiao and others, the most important thing is that when ** died in battle, A Niu got a strange jade pendant, and that jade pendant was very important to the Yellow Turban Army. This is also the fundamental reason why Ma Yuanyi suddenly appeared in Qingzhou and even mobilized the Yellow Turban Army from other places to launch an operation this time!" A Niu stood up and smiled bitterly at Gong Zheng, who was about to ask questions:

"Don't ask me what the secret of the jade pendant is, because I don't know either. If I could send the jade pendant back now, I wouldn't have hesitated at all. Unfortunately, Fengxiang and the Yellow Turban Army no longer have the possibility of a fight."

"A Niu just knew that the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army in Ji, Yan and Xu were ready to gather in Qingzhou. It was just a small task to destroy my Fengxiang City. It also had another main goal: Ma Yuanyi believes that instead of fighting each state's Yellow Turban Army, it is better to concentrate superior forces to completely control a state. His choice is our Qingzhou!"

At this moment, Gong Jing and his son almost collapsed directly. In late autumn weather, a large amount of sweat appeared on their foreheads. Now Qingzhou Prefecture does not have any advantage over the remnants of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. The main forces of the three new states were added. Even with the majestic and magnificent Linzi, they would probably not escape the tragic fate of being flattened.

"They are too bold... do you really think so?" Gong Jing had been a governor for many years. Today, he heard so much novel information from a city lord. It is really commendable that it has not fainted at this time. In fact, Gong Jing was still quite dissatisfied with the city lord who took the jade pendant of the Yellow Turban Army and refused to return it, which led to Ma Yuanyi and others gathering in Qingzhou. If it weren't for this, perhaps Qingzhou would not be selected by Ma Yuanyi, but now that things have come to this point, Gong Jing can only hold on.

A Niu stood up and sighed with his hands behind his back: "I also hope this news is not true, but this news comes from Feilong Baby, and it must be unfair."

Although Feilong Baby is just a player, due to his special identity, there are many people who know him in NPC. As the governor of Qingzhou, Gong Jing naturally cannot have never heard of Feilong Baby's name.

"Fat Dragon Baby is a senior leader of the Yellow Turban Army. Why did he tell A Niu this news?"

"Fat Dragon Baby has a high position in the Yellow Turban Army. After all, he has the same identity as A Niu. When A Niu found Feilong Baby, he had other things to discuss. Although this news was not directly told A Niu, the governor must also know that Fengxiang has many martial artists, so it is not too difficult to spy on some information."

"However, Feilong Baby, Ma Yuanyi, Bu Yi and others are all in Xinyang Town at the foot of Mangdang Mountain. The town has heavy troops stationed in the defense. If you want to sneak in and spy on the intelligence, I'm afraid only A Niu's brothers have that ability! Will the master-level martial artist be willing to be a spy who inquire about intelligence?"

Gong Jing woke up completely from the initial shock. Now Gong Jing does not fully accept the statement that a city lord said that the Yellow Turbans of the four states will gather in Qingzhou. In Gong Jing's opinion, A Niu's words are probably to tie Qingzhou Prefecture and Fengxiang City to a warship, and it is deliberately sensational. Even if Fat Dragon Baby would disclose this information to A Niu because of his identity as an alien.

A certain city lord had always been calm, but at this moment he felt a little ashamed on his face. It seemed that after a war between heaven and man, he finally preached:

"Although my brothers are respectful, if A Niu asks, let alone inquire about small matters like inquiring about intelligence, even if they are assassins, they will not have any other words. However, the news this time was not because they were sneaking into Xinyang Town in person, because... Feilong Baby was not in Xinyang Town when he spoke this with his best friend, but not far from Fengxiang City."

After a little hesitation, A Niu continued:

"As for the sudden appearance of Feilong Baby outside Fengxiang City, it was because of A Niu's invitation. Although Fengxiang won many battles in the battle with the Yellow Turban Army, the victory of previous wars also made Fengxiang pay a certain price. A Niu is not a powerful soldier. As the lord of Fengxiang, he really does not want Fengxiang'er to die innocently. Therefore, A Niu hopes that Feilong Baby can mediate from it to see if he can send back the Tianshi Pei method to end the hostility of the Yellow Turban Army and Fengxiang. Unfortunately, he was rejected flatly and found out by accident..."

Gong Jing finally understood why A Niu seemed so ashamed at this time. As the city lord of the world's number one city, A Niu, who is the fifth-rank general Zhaode, was willing to seek reconciliation from the Yellow Turban Army in order to give the territory a chance to develop peacefully. Now a city lord told him about his reconciliation, which was obviously the result of a ideological struggle. A city lord was so frank about the cause and effect. In addition to the current private occasion, there was also the long-term friendship between Fengxiang and Qingzhou Prefecture, and unexpectedly something would make both sides turn against each other.

Because of this, the information A Niu brought today is quite credible.

"Aniu is kind and deserves to be a humble gentleman. What I want to know is what kind of cooperation does Aniu need to make to resolve this crisis?" (To be continued,)
