One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 163 Countermeasures
"Zilong is right. Dong Zhuo will definitely not give up Bingzhou, and Niu Fu will definitely come." Qin Yi frowned.

"Then... If Niu Fu comes to Bingzhou, what shall we do?" Xu Huang also became nervous.

Neither Qin Yi nor Zhao Yun spoke to each other, they lowered their heads in thought.

After a while, the two raised their heads at the same time, as if they had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Zilong, have you got something?" Qin Yi asked when he saw that the nervousness on Zhao Yun's face disappeared.

Zhao Yun smiled slightly: "Zhao did think of something, but I don't know what brother Qin got?"

Qin Yi smiled, and said: "Since Zilong is a fool, let me first talk about what I thought of."

"The cloud is all ears!"

"Someone is also all ears, Tian Yu, tell me quickly!" Xu Huang said anxiously.

Qin Yi said: "First of all, someone thought that Niu Fu would not come to Bingzhou in the short term. There are three reasons. First, Dong Zhuo coerced King Chen Liu to move westward to Chang'an. The relocation of the capital was complicated, and it was difficult for the court of Chang'an to get on the right track in the short term. Niu Fu As Dong Zhuo's trusted general, Dong Zhuo still relied on him to control the situation, so he didn't dare to let him come to Bingzhou immediately.

"Secondly, the situation in Bingzhou is complicated. If Niu Fu comes here to take office, he will definitely lead the army. It's going to be winter, the weather is freezing, and the roads are difficult to walk. Moreover, on the way from Chang'an to Bingzhou, half of the counties and counties have become vacant land. If the auxiliary cannot get supplies on the way, he must bring a lot of luggage, making the journey even more difficult."

"Thirdly, since Mrs. Guo has led the Baibo army to the south, she has become a stumbling block on the way for Niu Fu to come to Bingzhou. Either, Niu Fu will wipe out the Baibo army who went south first, and then come to Bingzhou; Make way for Niu Fu. However, whether it is Niu Fu fighting the Baibo army, or the Baibo army being recruited, it cannot be completed in a short period of time. Therefore, Qin believes that at least until next spring, Niu Fu will not come to Bingzhou."

"Haha, Brother Qin's words coincide with Yun's thoughts!" Zhao Yun laughed loudly, "I also deduce that Niu Fu will not come to Bingzhou within three to five months."

Xu Huang looked at Qin Yi, then at Zhao Yun, and suddenly said: "That is to say, the time Niu Fu left us is at most five or six months. Then what should we do during these five or six months?" Woolen cloth?"

Yes, what should be done?You can't just do nothing, Qin Yi has been the county magistrate for five or six months, and when Niu Fu arrives, he will turn around and run back to Yecheng with everyone, right?Where should Qin Yi's face be put?How to complete the task assigned to him by the system?
"Zilong, what do you think?" Qin Yi asked Zhao Yun with a smile.

Zhao Yun still smiled and said: "Since Brother Qin has analyzed the reason why Niu Fu will not come to Bingzhou in the short term, let me talk about the countermeasures."

After a short pause, he continued: "Someone thinks that we have three strategies to deal with Niu Fu's plan."

"Zilong actually thought of three strategies?" Qin Yi was pleasantly surprised. Zhao Zilong is Zhao Zilong. Although he is still very young, his brain is already very good.

"Zilong, first tell me what to do next?" Xu Huang urged.

"The worst policy, I will return to Yecheng and ask the emperor for another official position." Zhao Yun said lightly.

Xu Huang immediately shook his head: "It's not a bad idea. I waited to come to Lu County to help Tianyu control Lu County, and then seek the entire Shangdang County, and even the entire Bingzhou, to make a big splash. If you flee back to Yecheng when you encounter setbacks, what's wrong with you?" Don't be laughed to death by Yuan Shao!"

"Zilong, tell me what is the best strategy?" Qin Yi asked.

"The middle strategist uses troops to gain momentum to resist Niu Fu."

"Where do you borrow soldiers? Where do you get power?" Qin Yi continued to ask.

Zhao Yundao: "Allow Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and even form an alliance with the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army to fight against Niu Fu. If we succeed, we will divide up the prefecture with all parties."

"This is a good strategy." Xu Huang's eyes lit up.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Yuzhou is too far away, and Bingzhou is still separated from Yongzhou. Yuan Shu is unreliable, and he is definitely unwilling to help us. Yuan Shao from Jizhou may send troops. But he doesn't like us at all. , that’s why he sent us to Lu County. Even if he sent troops to defeat Niu Fu, he would definitely not give us too many benefits. On the contrary, Cao Cao in Yanzhou is very likely to help us sincerely. However, Cao Cao is just like us , is also a newly appointed official, I am afraid that he will have no soldiers to go out.

"As for forming an alliance with the Black Mountain Army and the Bai Bo Army, we are officials and they are thieves, so we are not on the same side. Moreover, we are small and weak, but the Black Mountain and Bai Bo Army have large troops. I am afraid that if we fail to form an alliance, we will be defeated by them. Annexation.”

Speaking of this, Xu Huang complained to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, it seems that your middle strategy is not advisable!"

"Haha, Gongming, this is your fault. Just now you said Zilong's strategy was a good one!" Qin Yi teased Xu Huang.

Xu Huang smiled awkwardly: "I haven't thought about it yet!"

Stopping his laughter, Qin Yi said: "As I expected, Zilong's best strategy must be to expand his troops and prepare for war."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Exactly! It's better to ask for others than to ask for ourselves. If we can expand our troops and train our combat readiness within five or six months, we won't have to be afraid of Niu Fu."

Qin Yi was silent, and lowered his head to think.

Xu Huang also pondered for a while, and then sighed: "The plan is a good one, but it is not easy. To expand the army, we must first have food to support the army. Now that the autumn harvest has long passed, it is estimated that the tax grain collected by Lu County has long been used by the Huns." Take it away. Are we going to have to increase taxes and grains when we first come to Lu County to serve as officials? How can this make the people of Lu County support us? Besides, the world is not peaceful, and the people probably don’t have much surplus grain."

"Yeah, not to mention the food for the expansion of the army, even our current surplus food is only enough for two months." Qin Yi also felt a headache.

"Brother Qin, the common people have no food, but Lu County's tyrants must have a lot of food, we can borrow food." Zhao Yun suggested.

"Borrowing food?" Xu Huang and Qin Yi looked at each other in surprise.

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Looking at it from the cloud, Wei Kai is the leader of Lu County's tycoons. If Brother Qin can convince Wei Kai, and let him persuade other tyrants, we won't have to worry about food and soldiers."

"This... Will Wei Kai agree?" Xu Huang hesitated, "Although he is very enthusiastic about us, but the food for raising soldiers is not enough for a star. Will Wei Kai be so generous?"

Qin Yi thought for a while, and said: "No matter what, I have to try it first. It just so happens that I have something in my heart for several days, and I have been hesitating whether to mention it to Wei Kai. I will visit him , find out his details."

"Tianyu, so you have decided to adopt Zilong's best strategy?" Xu Huang asked hastily.

Qin Yi smiled mysteriously: "I plan to combine the middle strategy and the best strategy into one and use them together. As for the effect, let's try it out."
