In the battle of Guangzong, Liu Pi and Gong Du joined forces from inside and outside, and the Han army returned with a great victory.
Earth Duke General Zhang Bao had died in battle, and it was said that Heaven Duke General Zhang Jiao was even worse off. When he was found by the believers whose faith had collapsed, he looked sickly, which made those people furious.
He felt that he had been severely deceived, so he used all kinds of torture. The dignified General Heaven Duke actually died tragically on the spot.
At noon, Li Qing ordered his men to get a batch of camps from the Yellow Turban Army. They seized the time to build a camp and finally finished it before evening.
He returned to the commander's tent, but before he could drink his tea, the Illusion God Guard came in and reported,""My lord, General Huangfu Song's vanguard has arrived.”
"Oh?" Li Qing was slightly surprised. The Boyi Tribe had also died? Huangfu Song is here to help me take down Guangzong County?
Unfortunately, he had already taken down Guangzong County.
"Cheng De, you're not being nice. I've been marching through the night just to rush over as soon as possible, yet you're not even welcoming me?”
Li Qing looked up and was instantly amused. Wasn't this Boss Cao?
"Meng De, don't you know manners?" he said lightly. When you see me, why aren't you bowing?”
Although the imperial court's reward had not arrived yet, and many people did not know that Li Qing was already a former general, the position of a general of the Tiger Troop, coupled with the special privileges of the holiday, Boss Cao, a petty official who had not even become a general, was naturally far inferior to Li Qing.
" Oh…" Cao Cao immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. However, he had a natural personality and immediately said,""Cheng De, you must be joking. I'm here to help you. There's no need to be so serious, right?”
Help me? Do I need it?
"When will General Huangfu arrive?" Li Qing asked with a smile.”
"Soon, soon. Chengde, don't worry. When General Huangfu arrives, Guangzong County will be a piece of cake.”Boss Cao obviously didn't know that Guangzong County had been conquered by Li Qing, and he said proudly.
He thought to himself,'This Li Chengde has climbed to such a high position at such a young age. No matter what, I have to ask for a favor from you this time. Otherwise, my journey these few days will be in vain.'
"Oh, really?" Li Qing's smile grew wider and he was about to say something else.
"My lord, an imperial edict has arrived from the imperial court." the Illusion God Guard reported.
"Oh?" Li Qing stood up and immediately went out to welcome him. It seemed that the imperial edict he had given had arrived. Coincidentally, Boss Cao was also here. He wanted to see how Cao Cao would react after hearing the imperial edict.
When the eunuch saw Li Qing come out to welcome him, he immediately opened his mouth and said,""In the first year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling issued an edict.”
"Li Chengde is very good at using troops. He burned 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers with fire. His contribution is indispensable and has won my heart. I hereby confer you the title of former general and grant you the privilege of holding the talisman. I hope you will continue to work hard to defeat the enemy as soon as possible and return the world to peace.”
Just as the eunuch finished speaking, Cao Cao's expression changed drastically. He secretly exclaimed," I refuse to accept this."
He, Cao Cao, was dedicated to defeating bandits and killing enemies. He was conscientious and conscientious, yet he was only a cavalry commandant. What did Li Qing do to surpass General Huangfu and become a former general?
This was a general position that was rarely established in the Great Han Dynasty, and its value was extraordinary.
For a moment, Cao Cao's heart was burning with jealousy. This won't do. When I return, I must make my father do a good job. No matter what, I have to make him a general.
At the same time, the eunuch who delivered the decree respectfully took out a yak tail and carefully handed it to Li Qing.
This was the so-called chastity. With it, one could kill people without official positions without fighting. In battle, one could even kill officials and generals below 2,000 koku.
Coincidentally, Cao Cao's current official position was two thousand koku. When he saw the yak tail, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
With this thing around, he had to tuck his tail between his legs. Otherwise, if he accidentally offended this Li Chengde, even if he was taught a lesson, he could only watch helplessly.
"Subordinate Cao Cao greets General Li!”Boss Cao would still come. When he saw that Li Qing was already a former general and even General Huangfu was suppressed, he hurriedly bowed. He did not dare to joke with Li Qing anymore.
"Meng De, what are you doing?" Li Qing said with a smile. He was in a good mood. It was quite satisfying to see Cao Mengde, who was known for his ability to govern the world and was known as a hero in troubled times, bow to him.
" Courtesy can't be wasted, courtesy can't be wasted..." Boss Cao quickly smiled apologetically.
Li Qing nodded and said,""When will General Huangfu arrive?”
"General Huangfu is not far from me. I believe he will arrive tomorrow morning."”
"General, what's the situation in Guangzong County now?”
"Alright, Meng De, there's no need to be so formal. Just call me Cheng De like before.”Li Qing said with a smile.
Cao Cao's face darkened. He looked at Li Qing, who was playing with the tail of the yak, and silently shouted," Damn Li Chengde, don't you know that invisible posturing is the most fatal?" If you're unhappy, you can wave that yak tail in your hand and I, Lord Cao, will lose a layer of skin even if I don't die.
" As for Guangzong County, it was already breached by our army last night. The leader of the bandits, Zhang Bao, died in battle. The so-called General of Heaven Duke, Zhang Jiao, also died an unnatural death. In addition to the General of Human Duke, Zhang Liang, who was burned to death a few days ago, the Yellow Turban Army is only a name.”Li Qing said indifferently.
What was that?
Boss Cao, who had come here to take credit, almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard this.
Didn't that mean that there was no more war in the north?
