One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 278 Negotiations

The sky was bright, and the sun slowly climbed to the treetops.Today is a sunny day with no wind at all, which is considered a rare good weather in the cold winter months.

Outside the west exit of Suohu Valley, Pei Ji and the thirty soldiers had already started eating breakfast.Last night, Qin Yi carried out this emergency pull. According to the previous training, the soldiers all brought enough dry food and drinking water for the whole day when they dispatched.It was cold at night, the drinking water had frozen into ice cubes, and the dry food had become harder.

However, this did not trouble the soldiers of the Qin Yi Army. They gathered some dry firewood, lit a fire, set up several helmets, boiled drinking water, boiled it into hot water, and soaked dry food to eat.

Although the drinking water smelled a little sweaty, but the conditions on the battlefield were harsh, and it was good to have a hot meal.

Several soldiers also circled the horses to the side of Taniguchi and let them gnaw on the withered grass on the ground.

Compared with the soldiers of the Qin Yi Army, the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army are pitiful.They gathered at a stone's throw away from the soldiers of the Qin Yi Army, staring eagerly at the soldiers of the Qin Yi Army having a dinner party on the battlefield, all drooling.

"My dear, they really know how to enjoy themselves, they eat early in the morning!" Tao Sheng stared at the soldiers of the Qin Yi Army who turned into gluttonous food, and his stomach couldn't help growling.Envious and jealous, he scolded her.

"General, I heard that after Qin Yi arrived in Bingzhou, he quickly occupied the land of the three counties and confiscated the properties of many wealthy households. He is very rich. I heard that his soldiers usually Three meals a day, two dry rice and one porridge, and in case of war, even dry rice every meal, and meat." Fang Bi said, as if thinking of the taste of the food, he gurgled in his throat and swallowed a big mouthful of saliva .

Hearing Fang Bi's words, Tao Sheng became even hungrier. He sighed and said, "Well, no matter how well he eats, it doesn't matter to us. Right now, General Zhang is being captured by Qin Yi, and we don't know how this matter will end. "

Fang Bi also said with emotion: "Yeah, it's all because of General Zhang's recklessness. If Qin Yi releases him in the end, it's fine if Qin Yi finally releases him. , then our Montenegro army may be torn apart."

Tao Sheng was shocked by Fang Bi's reminder.After a long while, he said: "Yes, our Black Mountain Army can only gather sand and form a tower because of the suppression of General Zhang's prestige. If something happens to General Zhang, I am afraid that many Qu commanders will leave the Black Mountain Army and stand on their own. Even, among the ministries There is also the possibility of attacking each other, the prospect is worrisome!"

At this moment, suddenly saw a few riders rushing out of the locked tiger valley.After meeting with Pei Ji, they exchanged a few words, and then saw Pei Ji greet people and unload some burdens from the horses of the people who had just arrived.

Then, Pei Jijun's soldiers surrounded him and took out steaming food and water bags from their bags.Although they were far away, Tao Sheng deduced from experience that the food brought by those soldiers seemed to be cooked meat.

"Hey, Qin Yi really cares about his subordinates, and even thinks about sending someone to deliver meals to them." Tao Sheng was envious and jealous at the same time.

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Yiqi running towards them.Since only one rider came, there must be no hostility.Tao Sheng immediately asked Fang Bi to come forward and contact this soldier of the Qin Yi Army.

After a while, Fang Bi returned, handed Tao Sheng a piece of white cloth with both hands, and said, "The man said that this is a letter from General Zhang."

"Oh?"

Tao Sheng quickly took the white cloth, unfolded it, and it was indeed Zhang Yan's handwriting.Zhang Yan only had a few words, which meant that he was negotiating with Qin Yi and asked Tao Sheng to return to the camp first and wait for news from Qin Yi's army.

Zhang Yan also told Tao Sheng to keep an eye on Bai Rao, and not to let Bai Rao have a different mind. He will return to the camp in as few as one day, as long as two or three days.

After receiving Zhang Yan's letter, Tao Sheng finally felt relieved.Since Zhang Yan said that he was negotiating with Qin Yi, there is still room for change in this matter, and Qin Yi should not kill Zhang Yan.

Immediately, Tao Sheng ordered the army to withdraw to the barracks.The soldiers were already hungry at this time, and when they heard the order to retreat, they hesitated, and hurried back, at such a speed that they didn't even need to be urged.

The Montenegro army withdrew, but Pei Ji did not withdraw immediately.Qin Yi ordered him to continue monitoring at Taniguchi to prevent the Black Mountain Army from making a comeback.

………………

Reclining Buddha Ridge, inside the camp of the Qin Yi Army.

Qin Yi arranged a tent for Zhang Yan alone, and ordered the military medical officer to re-treat the wound for him.

When breakfast was served, Qin Yi ordered someone to bring Zhang Yan a bowl of millet porridge mixed with minced meat.At first Zhang Yan pretended to be stubborn and refused to eat, but later, he couldn't bear the temptation of the aroma of the millet porridge, so he ate the bowl of porridge, and he asked for another bowl.

Zhang Yan also thought about it, since he was a prisoner, there was no need to show face any more, he could eat as much as he wanted, and drink as much as he wanted, let's see what Qin Yi wanted to talk to him about.

Qin Yi and Xu Huang were discussing the content of the negotiation with Zhang Yan while eating in the tent of the Chinese army.After the meal was over and the basic regulations were finalized, Qin Yi went to the camp where Zhang Yan was held.

Zhang Yan was still lying on the couch, and he had just finished his second bowl of porridge at this time.

"General Zhang, are you full?" Qin Yi asked Zhang Yan as soon as he came in.

Zhang Yan chuckled: "Thanks to Colonel Qin's hospitality, Zhang is very grateful."

"It's not considered a treat. What General Zhang served was just an ordinary breakfast for our army. All officers and soldiers, including Qin, ate the same as General Zhang."

"What, your army actually still eats breakfast and can eat meat!" Zhang Yan was greatly surprised when he heard this.

Qin Yi said: "On normal days, you can only have gruel for breakfast, but now it's wartime, I dare not treat my brothers' stomachs badly. If you don't eat well, you won't have the strength. If you don't have the strength, you won't be able to hold a knife or gun. How can this win the battle?"

In fact, Qin Yi was showing off on purpose. Although his army had three meals a day, they didn't get meat every meal, they just got some oil and water every now and then.For today's breakfast, Qin Yi intentionally told the gang leader to add minced meat to the millet porridge, and he made it for Zhang Yan to see.

When Zhang Yan heard Qin Yi's words, he suddenly became jealous: "Hey, I have long heard that Qin Yi made a fortune after coming to Bingzhou. Now that I see it, the rumors are indeed true."

"Hey, Qin doesn't need to hide it. That's right. Although I don't dare to be rich now, I don't lack the food and grass to support tens of thousands of horses for several months." Qin Yi said in a showy manner, "Qin has already raised Eight thousand soldiers and horses, I plan to expand to ten thousand years ago."

He's bragging again, but in fact his current strength is only [-].

After hearing Qin Yi's words, Zhang Yan thought about it secretly, and suddenly she was so startled that she propped up the couch with both hands and stood up.

"Qin Yi, what do you mean, you want to use the captives of my Black Mountain Army to fill the gap in the strength of the 2000 men?" Zhang Yan asked Qin Yi angrily.
