One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 282 Wearing hemp and mourning?

Zhang Yan agreed to Qin Yixin's supplementary conditions, which made Qin Yi secretly happy.

In fact, his bottom line is very simple, that is, he released the prisoners of the Ministry of Poison in exchange for the withdrawal of the Black Mountain Army from Zhan County.

At the beginning, he put forward those harsh conditions, which were purely extortionate prices.Later, the three conditions he added were actually a matter of mutual benefit, both for him and for Zhang Yan, but he was also worried that Zhang Yan would refuse because he thought it was too embarrassing.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan is a smart person, and quickly figured out the key points, agreed to recommend Qin Yi to the table, and formed an alliance with Qin Yi and the Baibo army.

Forming alliances is actually not very reliable. There is a saying that allies are for betrayal.From ancient times to the present, there has never been an ally with a long-term and stable relationship. No matter what the original reason for forming an alliance, in the end, the allies will part ways, or even turn friends into enemies.

However, Qin Yi did not seek to maintain a long-term ally relationship with the Black Mountain Army and the Baibo Army. What he wanted was that the Black Mountain Army and the Baibo Army would not cause him trouble for the time being.Furthermore, right now, he still has to use the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army to put pressure on Yuan Shao, and he has fulfilled his wish to be the prefect of Shangdang County.As for the future... Hey, it is estimated that Niu Fu will take office in Bingzhou in the first spring of next year. It is not certain whether he can continue to stay in Bingzhou, so there is no time to think about such far-reaching things.

He also believed that neither Yang Feng nor Zhang Yan would immediately tear up the alliance at the stage of alliance formation.It is enough to do all the things that should be done during the honeymoon period.

"General Zhang, let's make a deal like this. I will release the prisoners of the Black Mountain Army, and you will withdraw from Zhan County. Then, we will conclude an alliance with the Baibo Army at a later date." Qin Yi summarized the final negotiation conditions.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yan didn't seem to agree with the result of the negotiation, "Brother Qin, you seem to have forgotten one thing."

Hey, does he have additional conditions?Qin Yi's heart that had just fallen was raised again. "Brother Zhang, what else do you want to say?"

Now that Zhang Yan changed his address, he also called Zhang Yan "brother".

Zhang Yandao: "My brother doesn't seem to have given me an explanation for Yu Du's matter."

Because of poison?How to explain?Could it be that you still want me to pay for my life with poison?

"Haha, Brother Zhang, a dead person cannot be resurrected. Yu Du is already dead. I really don't know how to explain it." Qin Yi started laughing.

Zhang Yandao: "Although Yu Du sent troops to the county without permission, my Black Mountain Army is at fault, but Yu Du is also the commander of our Black Mountain Army. His death must be given a reasonable explanation to my Black Mountain Army brothers."

"What is Brother Zhang going to do?"

"Someone wants to make the person who was killed by the poison wear mourning and mourning for the poison." Zhang Yan said firmly.

When Qin Yi heard this, he thought to himself: This condition is quite reasonable, but...it's impossible for me to dress Yu Du in mourning.

"General Zhang, that's too much!" Xu Huang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Since ancient times, only children have mourned their dead parents. How can outsiders do this? Are you insulting people?"

Upon hearing Xu Huang's words, Qin Yi suddenly came to his senses.In this era that attaches great importance to etiquette and law, allowing an outsider to wrap hemp and mourn the deceased will only occur under two circumstances: first, the outsider will adopt the deceased and inherit the deceased's family property as the deceased's son; The deceased did something very wrong, and paying mourning tribute to the deceased shows his sincerity in acknowledging his mistake.At the same time, he also lost his own personality.

The implication of Zhang Yan's words naturally belongs to the second situation.It's like the underworld toasting tea and making amends. Toasting a cup of tea is a trivial matter, but the connotation is very deep.No wonder Xu Huang said Zhang Yan was insulting.

Zhang Yan immediately glared at Xu Huang: "Why, could it be that Yu Po died at the hands of County Captain Xu?"

Xu Huang smiled: "Yu Du died under random arrows, who knows who shot him dead. But no matter who shot Yu Du to death, even if he was just a leader of our army, there is no need to give him a hand. Wear hemp and filial piety to the poison!"

As soon as Qin Yi heard Xu Huang's words, he gave Xu Huang 32 likes in his heart.That's great, why didn't I realize that this sworn brother still has such eloquence.

"Hmph, since you don't know who shot Yu Du to death, then you can just find someone to put Yu Du in mourning! Even if you arrest a commoner... or hire a beggar for money to perfunctory. What Zhang wants is just Give your brothers an explanation."

Xu Huang said: "It still won't work! Even if we find a beggar to dress Yu Du in hemp and mourning, it still represents our army's attitude. Then Yu Du was at fault in the first place, and our army fought back passively when fighting him. We will never accept this guilt."

"This won't work, and that won't work, so how do you tell Zhang to explain to his brothers?" Zhang Yan also became angry, "Zhang sent troops to the county under the banner of seeking justice for the poison. Now he hastily returned , how will Zhang convince the public in the future?"

Xu Huang stopped talking.

Qin Yi thought for a while and said, "Brother Zhang, I have an idea. How about asking Du Pu, magistrate of Zhan County, to hold a splendid funeral for Yu Du? As for wearing hemp and mourning, that's fine. "

Zhang Yan pondered for a while, then asked, "Brother Qin, can you make the decision for Nadup?"

Upon hearing Zhang Yan's loose tone, Qin Yi was secretly happy and said hurriedly: "I will definitely be able to convince him."

Xu Huang also said: "It is feasible to hold a funeral for the enemy general."

"Well, that's the only way to go." Zhang Yan had no choice but to compromise, "This can somewhat give an explanation to the brothers and Yu Du's family."

So far, the negotiations have finally reached a result that satisfies both parties.

Having said that, the negotiation was able to be concluded this time because Zhang Yan was captured by Qin Yi and had to bow his head.But Zhang Yan was also stubborn, and even though he was a prisoner, he still bargained with Qin Yi, which made Qin Yi admire him a little.

Immediately, Zhang Yan and Qin Yi wrote letters respectively and sent people to the Heishan Army Camp and Zhanxian County.When writing the letter, Zhang Yan suggested that Qin Yi should save him some face and not mention the matter of his being captured.

Qin Yi fully agreed, and only told Du Pu in his heart that he had negotiated with Zhang Yan, persuaded Zhang Yan to withdraw from the army, and asked Du Pu to come to Qin Yi's barracks to discuss the aftermath together.Of course, Qin Yi also informed Du Pu of Zhang Yan's request, and asked Du Pu to organize a funeral for the drug dealer and prepare to release the prisoners of the Ministry of Drugs.

In the afternoon, Du Pu and Tao Sheng, the general of the Black Mountain Army, came to Qin Yi's barracks one after another.

Tao Sheng first visited Zhang Yan, and then negotiated with Qin Yi and Du Pu on behalf of Zhang Yan to deal with the aftermath.The three parties easily reached a common opinion.Dupu decided to release the Montenegrin prisoners tomorrow and hold a funeral for Yu Du three days later.

Tao Sheng originally wanted to take Zhang Yan back to the camp for training, but he brought a carriage with him when he came.But Qin Yi refused to agree, saying that he was concerned about Zhang Yan's health and left him to continue to recuperate in the military camp.In fact, he was taking Zhang Yan as a hostage.

In the end, Tao Sheng went to ask Zhang Yan again, and Zhang Yan agreed to stay in Qin Yi's barracks for two more days, and on the third day, he and Qin Yi attended Yu Du's funeral.

In fact, Zhang Yan was only injured on the flesh, and he had two days to recuperate, so he could move without hindrance.
