One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 220 Yuzhou Situation
After Qin Yi led his troops into Huguan County, they went straight to the barracks.

In the barracks, soldiers from Huguan County had gathered on the training ground, none of them armed.To Qin Yi's surprise, the people who guarded these soldiers were actually the more than 100 people led by Zhou Cang.

It seems that after Dai You entered the city, he ordered the release of Zhou Cang and the others.This person has a lot of emotional intelligence, and this move is obviously to sell Qin Yi well.

"Yuanfu—" Qin Yi shouted from a distance when he saw Zhou Cang.

"Brother—" Pei Ji also yelled, jumped off the horse, and ran towards Zhou Cang.

Seeing Qin Yi and Pei Ji coming, Zhou Cang rushed to welcome them.

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!"

When Zhou Cang and Pei Ji met, they called out to each other and hugged each other immediately.Pei Ji cried loudly, and Zhou Cang's eyes were red, trying not to let the tears flow out.

Qin Yi got off his horse and walked towards Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang immediately let go of Pei Ji, walked up to Qin Yi in a few steps, knelt on the ground with one leg, and said in a suppressed voice: "My lord, Cang has caused the lord and brothers to work hard, and he deserves death!"

Qin Yi looked at Zhou Cang, saw that his clothes were ragged, his cheeks were sunken, his hair and beard looked like a mess of grass, he couldn't help feeling a pang of sorrow in his heart.

"Yuan Fu, I came late and caused you and your brothers to suffer!" Qin Yi's nose soured, and he hurried forward to help Zhou Cang with both hands.

Zhou Cang immediately said: "My lord, although Cang was swayed by Luo Kuina, fortunately the letter has been sent to Yuan Shu, and the lord's entrustment has not been missed."

Qin Yi patted Zhou Cang's shoulder and said with emotion: "Yuan Fu, you did a good job, it was my lack of consideration that caused you and your brothers to suffer in vain."

Zhou Cang grinned: "As long as the task assigned by the lord is completed, this little suffering is nothing. My lord, then Yuan Shu said..."

Qin Yi waved his hand: "Let's talk about this later. Yuan Fu, lead me to meet the brothers first."

………………

Qin Yi ordered Pei Ji to take over the military camp.Probably to avoid suspicion, Yang Feng did not lead his army into the city, but camped outside the city to rest.Xu Huang's army was arranged by Qin Yi to occupy the four gates of the county seat and impose martial law.

Qin Yi did not go to the county government, but dealt with the aftermath in the military camp.After being busy for almost an afternoon, he didn't call Zhou Cang into the tent of the Chinese army until after dinner, and asked Zhou Cang about the process of going to Yuzhou as an envoy.

Seeing Zhou Cang again, Zhou Cang has been washed and changed, he is wearing a thick military uniform, and his hair is tied into a neat bun.However, the beard on that face was not shaved, it was simply combed and tidied up.

In the past, Zhou Cang had a mustache, but now he has a beard, which makes Qin Yi look more pleasing to the eye.After all, whether it is a portrait or a sculpture of Zhou Cang in later generations, they all have beards.

Seeing Qin Yi staring at his face in a daze, Zhou Cang immediately raised his hand, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My lord, my beard...doesn't it make it more powerful?"

"Haha, she looks much better than before." Qin Yi was amused by Zhou Cang's words.

Greeting Zhou Cang to take a seat, Qin Yi asked about the mission.

Zhou Cang said: "The process is very simple. After we arrived at Qiao County, the seat of Yuzhou, I immediately went to the State Shepherd's Mansion to meet Yuan Shu. Unexpectedly, the watchdog of the State Shepherd's Mansion didn't notify me, and even drove me away..."

"Then how did you meet Yuan Shu?" Qin Yi asked immediately.

Zhou Cang said: "I thought it was because my clothes were too shabby, so I wanted to find a tailor in the city to make a new set of clothes. Later, I met an army entering the city in the city. 'Yuzhou Inspector Sun', I guessed right away that this was Sun Jian returning to Yuzhou. I immediately stopped the way to ask for a visit. Sun Wentai heard that I was sent by the lord, so he warmly led me to the State Shepherd's Mansion and met Yuan Shu."

"Oh, that's how it is!" Qin Yi nodded, and immediately said in doubt: "When I parted from Sun Wentai in Ye County, he said that he would go back to his hometown in Jiangdong first, and then go to Yuzhou to take up his post. Count the days, when you arrive At the time of Yuzhou, he should not have arrived in Jiangdong yet."

Zhou Cang said: "General Sun Wentai said that he received a letter from Yuan Shu on the way, so he didn't go back to Jiangdong and went directly to Qiao County."

Qin Yi was startled: "But what happened?"

Zhou Cang nodded and said, "Sun Wentai said that Liu Biao went to Jingzhou, and Yuan Shu called him back to Yuzhou to discuss the crusade against Liu Biao."

Qin Yi suddenly realized: "Yuan Shu is really unstoppable. As soon as he arrived in Yuzhou, he was thinking about expanding his sphere of influence. However, he also picked a good target. When Liu Biao first arrived in Jingzhou, he didn't have a stable foothold. He was a soft persimmon. .”

"My lord, soft persimmons may not be easy to pinch. Just like us, we are also new to Lu County. Qiu Xi from Changzi County and Luo Kui from Huguan County both thought we were soft persimmons and wanted to bite us. What happened? , but your tooth fell out." Zhou Cang said, "My lord, I really didn't expect that after I left Lu County for just over a month, you actually took down Changzi County and Huguan County successively."

Qin Yi smiled slightly: "I'm a Jedi counterattack, and I'm going with the trend. If Qiu Xi and Luo Kui don't provoke me, I will still guard the land of Lu County now."

Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "Stop talking about that, let's talk about Yuan Shu. After he read my letter, did he explain to you?"

"Yuan Shu said that he appreciates the lord's kindness, and he will never forget the lord in the future." Zhou Cang said, "I begged this guy to write a reply to the lord, but he actually said that there is no need for it. This is not polite. Things, fortunately he is still a child of an aristocratic family."

Qin Yi said: "Yuan Shu's eyes are always high above the top, except for my royal family, I'm afraid no one can get into the eyes of Yuan Shu. Yuan Fu, don't get angry with him."

After a short pause, Qin Yi asked again: "Did he ever say that he would send troops to Yongzhou?"

Zhou Cang said: "Yuan Shu ordered someone to take me to the post station after reading the letter, and sent me out of the house. However, later, Sun Wentai's son, Sun Bofu, came to the post station to look for me. My lord, is this Sun Bofu your apprentice? "

Qin Yi smiled knowingly: "That's right, this kid is my apprentice. Did he ever say anything to you?"

Zhou Cang said: "Young Master Sun came to see me on behalf of his father. According to him, Yuan Shu decided to send troops to attack Jingzhou in the next year, with Sun Wentai as the vanguard. He sent another division to occupy Luoyang."

"Pianist?" Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Yuan Shu is indeed a man of great ambition and talent. Can't he see that Yongzhou is more important than Jingzhou? He must have taken a fancy to the wealth of Jingzhou, so he wanted to send out a large army Take Jingzhou first. The land of Yongzhou is now almost white, and he doesn't like it. However, Jingzhou is not easy to take, but Yongzhou is easy to receive. Moreover, Yongzhou's strategic position is far better than Jingzhou. "

"Yes, in my opinion, Yuan Shu sent a partial division to occupy Luoyang, probably just to show his attitude to other princes. He wants to tell others that Yongzhou is already his Yuan Shu's."

Qin Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that relying on Yuan Shu to block Niu Fu's army is impossible. Fortunately, Luoyang City is still there, and Yuan Shu's partial army can somewhat slow down Niu Fu's advance. Besides, since Yuan Shu, If we send troops into Yongzhou, we will definitely be at odds with the Baibo Army. At that time, the three forces of Yuan Shu, Niu Fu, and Baibo Army will fight for Yongzhou, which will turn Yongzhou into a pool of muddy water. In this way, our goal has been achieved. "

"By the way, my lord, Sun Gongzi once wrote you a letter, but...just after I was detained by Luo Kui, he also searched for that letter." Zhou Cang said with a face of shame.

Qin Yi waved his hand: "Bo Fu wrote to me just out of courtesy, and there is no important content in the letter, so you don't have to feel guilty about it."
