One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 284
"Qin wants to take the post of prefect of Shangdang County." Qin Yi said firmly to Du Pu.

He was rambling with Du Pu before, just to say this sentence to Du Pu. Everything he said before was a foreshadowing.His real purpose was to test Du Pu's attitude.

Sure enough, when Du Pu heard this, he was startled immediately, and then he nodded and said: "Brother Qin Xian is a man of great ambition! If you can become the prefect of Shangdang County, you can gather the strength of a whole county to resist Niu Fu. Little odds."

"Brother Du, you don't think Qin is too arrogant, do you?" Seeing that Du Pu still didn't express his feelings, Qin Yi continued to test.

Du Pu smiled: "What do you mean by Qin Xiandi's words? Although you have only been in Bingzhou for a few months, the strength and talent you have shown are obvious to all the colleagues in Shangdang County." , and fell into a situation where the dragons have no leader, there should be someone to take on this important task, gather colleagues from all counties in Shangdang County, and benefit the people of this county."

Qin Yi was overjoyed when he heard the words: "So, brother Du also agrees to be the prefect of Shangdang County?"

Du Pu nodded and said: "Don't say Qin Xiandi Dayi came to aid Zhan County and saved Zhan County from the disaster of swords and soldiers twice. Du is very grateful to Xiandi. Even if Du has no friendship with Xiandi, he will never oppose Xiandi My younger brother became the prefect of Shangdang County."

Qin Yi thought in his heart: What you said is really sweet. If you didn't owe me a favor, you might have said something else.

After saying the words of approval, Du Pu suddenly changed his tone, and said again: "It's just that Qin Xiandi's qualifications for becoming an official are still young, can the imperial court agree to you being the prefect of Shangdang County?"

Qin Yi chuckled, used the magic of deception again, and pretended to be mysterious: "Brother Du, you don't know this, right? Yuan Shao is in charge of the Yecheng court now, and I have an old friendship with Yuan Shao. He wants me to take office as the Shangdang Where is the prefect of the county?"

"Brother Qin Xian has a friendship with Yuan Shao?" Du Pu's heart suddenly became gossip.

Qin Yi said: "My hometown is in Bohai County. Yuan Benchu ​​used to be the prefect of Bohai County. Before he launched an army to attack Dong Zhuo, Qin had already known him. We are old friends."

"I heard that when Brother Xian participated in the battle against Dong Zhuo, didn't he defect to Cao Mengde at first, and later to Sun Wentai?" Du Pu was somewhat doubtful of Qin Yi's words.

Qin Yi said: "That's because Yuan Benchu ​​sent me to deepen my relationship with Cao Mengde and Sun Wentai. These two are quite famous among the princes who attacked Dong Zhuo."

"Oh, that's it. No wonder the princes who participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo were only Yuan Gongdao, Cao Mengde, Sun Wentai, and my dear brother, you let him go to foreign posts." Du Pu suddenly realized.

Qin Yi continued to lie: "Why did you send me to Bingzhou in the first place? It's because Bingzhou is now in disarray. Benchu ​​sent me here to use me as a wedge to insert me into Bingzhou, and then compete with the Chang'an court for Bingzhou. So. , if there is no request to be appointed as the prefect of Shangdang County without the above request, Benchu ​​will definitely agree."

At this point, Qin Yi suddenly paused: "It's just...Qin is really scared, for fear that my colleagues in Shangdang County will not recognize me as the county governor in the future!"

When Du Pu heard this, he quickly expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, virtuous brother, Du has a lot of friendship with the county magistrates of several counties in Shangdang County. Du contacted them and jointly wrote a letter to the Yecheng court, recommending my virtuous brother as the county guard. "

All you need is your words!

"This... ah, Brother Du, you have really helped me a lot." Qin Yi hurriedly got up, pretending to be flattered, and cupped his hands repeatedly at Du Pu.

"My dear brother, don't do this, this is Du's duty." Du Pu quickly stood up and returned the salute.

After the two were seated, Qin Yi said again: "Brother Du, if someone succeeds in becoming the prefect of Shangdang County, from now on, he will have to rely on Brother Du's help."

"My dear brother, what are you talking about? The survival of Zhan County is all due to the merits of my good brother. Du Mou hereby expressly states that from today on, everything in Zhan County will be decided by my good brother, and Du will definitely obey my order!"

Hey, I finally got you!
"This...Brother Du is serious. Qin is not the prefect of Shangdang County now, what qualifications does he have to order Brother Du!" Qin Yi pretended to be modest.

Du Pu smiled: "My virtuous brother, sooner or later you will be the prefect of Shangdang County. Brother Yu said something ugly, I am a cold stove. From now on, I hope that my virtuous brother will take care of Du, at least, so that Du can stay at ease. It’s a good place in Zhan County.”

Haha, you have no ambition.

"Brother Du, don't worry. Starting today, the land of Zhan County is the land of Qin. If Brother Du is in trouble, feel free to speak up. Qin will definitely not sit idly by!"

"So, thank you Du in advance!"

The two fought each other, and someone from Qin won another county.Although, it is only in name now, but the name already exists, and the real occupation of Zhan County, will it be far away?
………………

Du Pu bid farewell to Qin Yi in the evening and returned to Zhan County.The two places are only more than twenty miles apart. If Dupu works hard, he can get back before dark.

Looking at the back of Du Pu and his party leaving, Xu Huang said with emotion: "Second brother, you are really a clever ghost. After some sweet words, you actually made Du Pu submit."

Qin Yi smiled: "He is also under the eaves, so he has to bow his head. We have already tied him to our chariot when we sent troops to Zhanxian County. In the future, Niu Fu will treat him as a battle of the fall, so he can only follow him." We went all the way to the dark."

"Second brother, did you already make up your mind to take Zhan County into your pocket when you decided to send troops to rescue Zhan County?" Xu Huang suddenly asked Qin Yi.

Qin Yi shook his head: "I don't have such a long-term vision. At the beginning, Mr. Xi suggested to me to use the opportunity of the army to force Du Pu to surrender. But at that time, I felt that this matter was too radical, so I rejected Mr. Xi's proposal. proposal."

"Then why do you have the idea of ​​letting Du Pu submit?" Xu Huang asked.

"It's not due to the change of the situation." Qin Yi said, "Zhang Yan's army came to attack, which we did not expect. On the other hand, we persuaded Zhang Yan to withdraw, and Du Pu owed us even more favors. I If you fool him a little more casually, it will be a matter of course for him to surrender."

Xu Huang nodded: "This is a smart man! It is a matter of mutual benefit for him to submit to us. But, will he obey the orders of the second brother in the future?"

Qin Yi said: "For now, we still have to rely on him, so let him guard Zhan County. Let's try not to interfere with his governance. But if I officially take up the post of Shangdang County Prefect in the future, and he doesn't obey orders, I can only regard him as the monkey who killed the chicken to scare the monkeys."

"Hmph, forgive him for not daring to disobey orders. With his 1000 troops, Brother Yu can break through Zhan County and capture Du Pu alive with only the same number of troops!"

"Hahaha, big brother, let's stop judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, maybe the county magistrate Du will really become his own family in the future!" Qin Yi laughed, suddenly sank his face, and said seriously: "Brother , Now, I have said that I have made great achievements in surrendering Yang Feng, and Zhang Yan recommended me. In addition, Du Pu also has to contact the county magistrates of Shangdang County to recommend me. It can be said that the internal and external factors of my appointment as the prefect of Shangdang County It’s all in place, almost [-]% sure.”

"That's right!" Xu Huang nodded, "At the beginning, we thought this matter was extremely difficult, but now, the second brother has been running around and doing things, and he has full confidence. It's really unpredictable!"

"Brother, after we go back, prepare to go to Yecheng. Try to reach Yecheng before the New Year. You have served as a guard for the emperor before, so you entered the palace in the name of paying New Year greetings to the emperor and personally submitted my self-recommendation to the emperor. Give it to the emperor. In addition, you can bring some gifts to Yuan Shao to prevent him from causing trouble for us."

"Okay, I'll note this down!"
