One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 405

Chapter 405

Since Liu Bei had expressed his intention to submit to the Yecheng court, Qin Yi told Liu Bei his specific ideas about dividing the city and defending it.

After a meal, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led the fifty soldiers back to the forest in six or seven places outside the city.As they left, they drove off a carriage.There are five hundred catties of grain in this carriage, which can feed Liu Bei's soldiers for a meal.This is a gift from Qin Yi to Liu Bei... It's not considered a gift, it should be said to be a return.Because these grains were originally moved from the treasury of the Guangchang County Government.

Qin Yi, Zhao Yun, and Guo Jia also led the soldiers back to the county seat.

Before it got dark, in the middle of the afternoon, Liu Bei went to meet Qin Yi outside the city gate in person.After the two sides met in the city gate, Liu Bei told Qin Yi that he was willing to accept Qin Yi's conditions and submit to the imperial court of Yecheng, and temporarily share half of Guangchang City with Qin Yi.

Since Liu Bei agreed, the next thing will be easy.In the evening, Liu Bei led his soldiers into Guangchang City.

Without Qin Yi's arrangement, Liu Beijun settled in the barracks at the South Gate and East Gate.The west gate and north gate are still garrisoned by Qin Yijun.

Qin Yi also generously gave up the county government office to Liu Bei, and he went to live in the military camp by himself.However, when Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei entered the county government office and immediately took inventory of the treasury, they were no longer happy.The contents of the treasury have been emptied by Qin Yi's troops.No, no, not all was emptied, there were still five bags of food left.

Obviously, these five bags of grain were Qin Yi's dinner for Liu Beijun.

Liu Bei also understood that from now on, their food supply would be choked by Qin Yi.But when I think about it, this is also the meaning of the question.Now that Liu Bei has agreed to surrender, he has to follow Qin Yi's arrangements before he arrives in Yecheng.

On the night when Liu Bei's army entered the city, Qin Yi hosted a banquet in honor of Liu, Guan, and Zhang.The banquet was held in the North Gate Military Camp. On Qin Yi's side, only Qin Yi, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun accompanied him.

After three rounds of drinking and five flavors of food, Qin Yi brought the topic back to the main topic.He said to Liu Bei, "Mr. Xuande, although you don't want to face Gongsun Zan anymore, you still have to inform Gongsun Zan about the loss of food and grass. The sooner he knows about it, the better for the war to end as soon as possible."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Then write a letter to Gongsun Zan tonight, and send a messenger to Jieqiao tomorrow morning."

"No, there is no need to be so anxious about this matter." Qin Yi said, "Qin plans to add fuel to Gongsun Zan's anger."

"Your Majesty means..." Liu Bei asked blankly.

Qin Yi looked at Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, it's up to you to explain to Duke Xuande."

Guo Jia nodded and asked Liu Bei, "Mr. Xuande, if you are transporting grain and grass to Jieqiao, which way do you plan to take?"

Liu Bei was stunned: "Mr. Guo, you know about this matter. We originally planned to take the road of Tang County and Wangdu County."

"How about Duke Xuande sending brothers Guan and Zhang to lead three to five hundred soldiers to follow my lord to deliver food and grass to Tangdu County tomorrow?"

Upon hearing Guo Jia's words, Liu Bei exchanged glances with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in surprise, and then asked, "What exactly is Qin Fujun's intention?"

Guo Jia said: "Without him, the Fujun wants to take over Tang County!"

"This... what the Lord Fu means is to pretend to be a food delivery team to earn money from Tang County?" Liu Bei suddenly realized.

"Hehe, that's exactly the case!" Qin Yi laughed, "Mr. Xuande, we don't need to actually transport food and grass, just fill it with firewood."

"Mr. Qin, you can just earn money, why do you want me and my second brother to lead troops to follow?" Zhang Fei asked Qin Yi in a loud voice.

"Because my second brother wants to give Duke Xuande another credit." Zhao Yun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said something.

What Zhao Yun said, Liu Guanzhang and the others immediately understood.Where did Qin Yi want to give credit to Liu Bei, but asked Liu Bei to accept a vote of honor!

As long as Liu Bei sends troops to follow Qin Yi to seize Tang County, then he will never return to Gongsun Zan.

This sinister idea was given to Qin Yi by Guo Jia.Qin Yi's belly was not white at all, and he cheered happily when he heard Guo Jia's idea.Hence, tonight’s banquet was held.

Without waiting for Liu Guanzhang to respond, Qin Yi said: "Mr. Xuande, you can write a letter to Gongsun Zan tonight. In addition to reporting to him the destruction of grain and grass, you should also explain to him that Guangchang City and Tang Dynasty The county has already been taken by Qin, and Qin's next attack direction is very likely to be Wangdu County. As for whether to explain to Gongsun Zan Xuande's own plan, it is up to you to decide."

After a short pause, Qin Yi said again: "After taking Tang County, Duke Xuande sent someone to deliver this letter to Gongsun Zan."

Liu Bei was silent, Zhang Fei glared angrily, as if he wanted to swallow Qin Yi, Guan Yu squinted his red phoenix eyes, and said nothing, with no expression of joy or anger on his face.

After a while, Liu Bei raised the wine cup towards Qin Yi and said: "Liu Bei obeys the orders of the emperor. From now on, I hope that the emperor will speak kindly to Liu Bei in front of the emperor!"

"Hahaha, this is a trivial matter!" Seeing Liu Bei's agreement, Qin Yi laughed and picked up the wine cup, and drank it down with Liu Bei.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.At this time, Liu Bei had agreed to submit to the Yecheng court, and his food and grass were being held by Qin Yi, so he could only obey Qin Yi's orders.

………………

On the second day, Liu Bei collected more than a dozen carriages according to Qin Yi's instructions, and filled the carriages with sacks of hay.

Afterwards, Qin Yi sent soldiers, pretending to be civilian husbands, and personally led [-] soldiers with Hua Xiong, Pei Ji, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to escort the "grain team" and left Guangchang City to go south.

In Guangchang City, only Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, and Liu Bei were left to preside over the affairs.

It was past noon when we left the city.This time, since the carriages were loaded with hay and the soldiers led by Qin Yi were also cavalry, the marching speed was very fast.In the middle of the afternoon, they arrived at the place where Qin Yi burned the army rations the day before yesterday.

On the road, the remnants of the fire were still there, and the road for several miles was pitch black, and a lot of vegetation on both sides of the road was also burned.

However, they did not see the wrecked wood and broken shafts of the carriage and the dead horse.Presumably, it was picked up by nearby villagers.In fact, the fire the day before yesterday was so big, even if there were some things left, there were not many.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to this section of the road, and both of them looked concerned.Zhang Fei even cursed Qin Yi in a low voice.

"Third brother, the two armies are fighting each other with their own means. We are inferior to others. If we lose, we lose. Don't complain anymore." Guan Yu persuaded Zhang Fei in a low voice.Zhang Fei then shut up.

Guan Yu said again: "Now, you and I have returned to the imperial court of Yecheng with our elder brother. Speaking of which, Qin Yi is our superior. From now on, whether elder brother can be recognized as a family member of the Han family depends on Qin Yi's thoughts. For the sake of big brother, and for the better future of you and my brother, you don't want to express your dissatisfaction in front of Qin Yi."

Zhang Fei was silent for a while, and then said, "Second brother, I understand what you said. I will not be willful in the future."

Guan Yu said: "Third Brother, you and I have already discussed with Eldest Brother yesterday, to surrender to the imperial court of Yecheng, let Eldest Brother take the name of the clan of the Han Dynasty, it will only be good for us and not harmful. Although Qin Yi is cunning, but he is right We're being honest."

"Yes, this is what I don't understand." Zhang Fei said, "Qin Yi is hostile to us, and it's the first time we meet, why does he show mercy to our subordinates repeatedly and try his best to persuade elder brother to submit to the court of Yecheng? ?”

Guan Yu said: "I couldn't understand it at first, but just last night, I figured it out. Qin Yi's move is to help the court."

"What's the meaning of this statement?"

"The emperor in Yecheng is actually a puppet, and Yuan Shao holds all the power in the imperial court. If the eldest brother recognizes his ancestors as a Han family clan, the emperor will definitely value the elder brother. And Qin Yi, it is said that since last year During the battle against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao had some disagreements. There are rumors that the emperor in Yecheng was rescued by Qin Yi to save his life. Therefore, Qin Yi must embrace the emperor and shun Yuan Shao. It's just that he is still weak now. Not enough to confront Yuan Shao."

"Oh, I understand." Zhang Fei suddenly realized, "If the eldest brother enters the court, Qin Yi will form an ally with the eldest brother. One will be outside, and the other will be inside to contain Yuan Shao together."

"exactly!"

At this moment, a horse galloped in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Feima, and the soldier said: "Two generals, my family has ordered you to speed up the march and rush to Qifengling before dark. Camp."

"I know!" Guan Yu replied.
