One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 146 Going to Lucheng
In late August and autumn, the weather turns cooler and there is a bit of chill in the morning and evening.However, the vegetation has not yet withered, and the crops have been harvested. The green vegetation and brown fields on the ground are mottled, like an oil painting.

It was a crisp autumn day. On this day, on a wasteland ten miles outside the west gate of Yecheng, three teams were arranged in three square formations. The soldiers stood upright amidst the sound of hunting flags.

One of the teams played the banner of "General Huwei Cao" with about 5000 people; one team played the banner of "General Sun of Polu" with about 8000 people; The banner is "Yingyang Xiaowei Qin".

In front of the three phalanxes, almost in the middle, more than a dozen generals sat together on the ground.Among them, several low tables are put together, and wine cups are placed on the low tables.

These people are Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Cao Cao, Cao Hong, Qin Yi and so on.Today, the three parties left Yecheng at the same time and went their separate ways.

"Tianyu, Wentai borrowed your previous troops and horses, and there are very few troops. I expect to use troops for war when I go to Yanzhou, but there is no way to help you." Cao Cao held the wine bowl with one hand, with a look of shame on his face, " With this bowl of wine, I wish Tian Yu a bright future."

"Brother Meng De is too polite, thank you Qin." Qin Yi and Cao Cao touched the wine bowls and drank them down.

As soon as Qin Yi's wine bowl was put down, Sun Ce refilled Qin Yi's wine with great insight.

Sun Jian raised his wine bowl and said to Qin Yi: "Tianyu, you should remember that after one year, you will have to return the thousand soldiers and horses lent to you by XX. Also, the payment of XX I only lend it to you for three months, and after three months, you have to raise your own food, and you must not let certain soldiers go hungry."

"Wentai, you have said this to someone several times. You are the governor of a state. How can you do things more and more unhappy?" Qin Yi said falsely.

"Brother Meng De, you can get such an evaluation if you are a good person. Alas, I can see that it will be very difficult to get back this thousand soldiers in the future! Qin Tianyu is a scoundrel! "

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed.

Sun Jian and Qin Yi had a drink together, put down the wine bowl, and Sun Jian turned to look at the thousand soldiers and horses he had lent to Qin Yi with complicated eyes.

When Qin Yi saw that Sun Jian seemed to be reluctant to part with the thousand soldiers, he quickly stood up, bowed his hands to Cao Cao and Sun Jian, and said: "Your envoys, there are few officials and horses, and the road is convenient, so let's go ahead. Have a few more drinks and don't rush to leave. Qin Mou bids farewell!"

"Haha, Wentai, you are right, Tianyu is indeed a scoundrel, he is afraid that you will take back the thousand soldiers!" Cao Cao laughed.

Sun Jian looked at Qin Yi and said, "Tianyu, joking is all joking, I still want to say something more, this time you go to Lucheng, you are facing a more serious situation than me and Mengde, and treat it with caution. If you have difficulties, don't hesitate Send someone to let me know."

Cao Cao also said seriously: "Yes, Bingzhou is a place of chaos, and Tianyu is alone. If he goes to Lucheng to take up his post, I am afraid it will not be smooth sailing. Bingzhou borders Yanzhou, and if Tianyu wants anything, Cao will not do it. decline."

Qin Yi was deeply moved. He solemnly bowed his hands to Sun Jian and Cao Cao and said, "Qin thanks you both for taking such good care of me. You two also take care of me. Qin will take the lead."

"Tianyu take care!"

This time it was no longer a joke, Qin Yi immediately bid farewell to Sun Jian and Cao Cao, led the 1000 troops that Sun Jian lent him, set foot on the official road first, and headed west.

…………

Of the 1000 horses Sun Jian lent to Qin Yi, there were about 100 cavalry, and the rest were all infantry, led by a school lieutenant.The captain's name is Lu Jun. He is 26 and seven years old. He has a square face and doesn't talk much, giving people a very simple feeling.He was originally a military lord. After Sun Jian became the governor, Lu Jun also rose to the top, and was promoted by Sun Jian to be a school lieutenant.

Lu Jun led the one hundred cavalry to clear the way ahead, Qin Yi, Zhao Yun, and Xu Huang each rode behind the hundred cavalry, and Zhao Yu followed Qin Yi, Zhao Yun, and Xu Huang in a carriage.After that, there are infantry and luggage.

Among the troops, flags were fluttering, and the largest flag was Qin Yi's "Ying Yang Captain Flag".This was the first time Qin Yi had his own flag, and he was very proud of it.

Ordinarily, Qin Yi is the only one who is qualified to play the banner in this team, but Qin Yi doesn't want to favor one person over another. At the same time, it is also for the sake of bluffing to deter troublemakers on the road. When he was in Yecheng, he had already entrusted someone to Zhao Yunhe Xu Huang each set up a flag.Only the surnames of the two people are written on the flag, but they have no official positions.

As soon as the three flags were beaten, the whole team suddenly shined brightly.Of course, this was Qin Yi's own feeling.

Yecheng is about [-] miles away from Lucheng County, and most of them are mountain roads, which are very difficult to walk. Therefore, the team moved very slowly.

Qin Yi is not in a hurry, anyway, there is enough food and grass, so he has the right to travel.

To say that the most excited in the team is Zhao Yu.Although Qin Yi arranged a carriage for her, Zhao Yu couldn't sit still in the carriage at all, so she got out of the carriage at every turn, rode on her little donkey, and talked in front of Zhao Yun, Qin Yi, and Xu Huang.

Sometimes, Zhao Yu got excited and would often ride a donkey from the front to the end of the team, and then from the end to the front, reviewing the troops like a general.The girl's clear laughter echoed from the beginning to the end of the line, making the soldiers on the road feel very comfortable.

Although Lu Jun doesn't talk much and his position is not high, he has a lot of experience in marching.Along the way, when it's time to send vanguards, send vanguards, and when it's time to rest, send vigilance to those who should be vigilant. The arrangements are well-organized.Qin Yi once asked Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, and according to them, even if they commanded the march, they would not be better than Lu Jun.

Qin Yi has reservations about this.Although Xu Huang has been an officer for a long time, he has always served in the security force, while Zhao Yun was just a white man before.Today's two don't know how capable they are, and they don't even know that in the original history, one of them became one of the five tiger generals of Shu Han, and the other became one of the five good generals of Cao Wei.

However, Qin Yi also admitted that Zhao Yun and Xu Huang were indeed less experienced than Lu Jun in terms of marching experience.Therefore, Qin Yi reassuredly handed over the command of the troops to Lu Jun temporarily. All actions and behaviors on the road were decided by Lu Jun, and Qin Yi obeyed.

After marching slowly for three days, at dusk that day, the team entered the mountainous area again. Lu Jun saw that the road ahead was winding and complicated, with towering mountains on both sides, so he immediately sent more scouts to explore the road.

At the same time, he also reminded Qin Yi that there have always been many bandits in the Taihang Mountains, and this section of the road has continuous ups and downs, which is the place most likely to be ambushed by bandits.

After hearing Lu Jun's words, Qin Yi was also a little worried, so he ordered the whole army to be on alert, and the team moved even slower.
