One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 285 Triumph
Two days later, Qin Yi and Pei Ji led a hundred soldiers and drove Zhang Yan in a carriage to leave the barracks for the Black Mountain army camp.Xu Huang stayed at Wofuling to guard the camp.

Today is the day when the Montenegrin Army withdraws, and it is also the day when Du Pu conducts a funeral for Yu Du.

After Yu Du was shot dead by Qin Yi, Qin Yi did not mistreat his body, but buried it on the spot.After Zhang Yan proposed to hold a funeral for Yu Du, Qin Yi ordered Yu Du's body to be dug up, cleaned up, changed into clean clothes, and sent to Zhan County.

It was freezing cold at this time of year, and Yu Du's body was not corrupted, nor would it interfere with the funeral procession.

Du Pu ordered people to make a good coffin for Yu Du to bury him.Then the coffin was sent to the Montenegro Army Camp.The Yudu tribe members who were captured were also released.

When Qin Yi, Pei Ji, and Zhang Yan arrived at the camp of the Black Mountain Army, Du Pu and a group of officials from the Zhanxian county government also came earlier, but they did not enter the camp.Tao Sheng and Bai Rao also led some generals of the Black Mountain Army to wait outside the camp gate.The officials of Zhan County and the generals of the Black Mountain Army occupied the two sides of the camp gate, and no one paid attention to the other.

Qin Yi and others came, and the two groups greeted them at the same time.

Pei Ji personally helped Zhang Yan get off the carriage.Zhang Yan's injuries have recovered, as long as he does not sit or lie down, his movements will not be hindered.

As soon as the generals of the Black Mountain Army saw Zhang Yan appearing, they all surrounded him. Except for Tao Sheng who greeted Qin Yi, none of the other generals paid any attention to Qin Yi.The officials in Zhan County were just the opposite. Only Du Pu exchanged greetings with Zhang Yan, and everyone else was busy greeting Qin Yi.

After making a fuss for a while, Qin Yi walked up to Zhang Yan, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhang, my younger brother is here as a guest today, and I will leave everything to be arranged by Brother Zhang."

Zhang Yan waved his hand: "Everyone, follow Zhang into the camp!"

Back in her territory, Zhang Yan regained her composure and self-confidence, and she didn't appear to be injured at all when she walked.

Everyone rushed into the camp.Afterwards, Qin Yi, Du Pu, Liang Kang, Tao Sheng, Bai Rao and other people with higher status followed Zhang Yan into the camp of the Chinese army.The rest of the "guests" were greeted by other officers of the Black Mountain Army.

Although Zhang Yan was able to stand and walk without hindrance, he still dared not sit or lie down, so after entering the tent of the Chinese army, he still stood on the main seat.Seeing that Zhang Yan didn't sit down, everyone was embarrassed to sit down, so they all stood up and talked.

"Magistrate Du, Mr. Zhang came to Zhan County this time to welcome back the coffin of our commander Qu Shuai Yudu, who has been disturbing for many days. Please take care of Du County Magistrate." Zhang Yan bowed his hands to Du Pu and said very politely.

Now that the two sides have reached an agreement to withdraw troops, Zhang Yan's way of speaking has also become very tactful.This kind of thing is a scene of cheering each other up and giving face to each other. Du Pu naturally understood, and immediately replied: "General Zhang is serious. Commander Yu Qu of your department unfortunately fell in the territory of Wozhan County. Yu Qushuai's coffin returned to the east, and he should also share it."

Qin Yi listened to the conversation between Zhang Yan and Du Pu, admiring him a lot.Look at these two people, they were life-and-death enemies a few days ago, but now they have become like old friends. It is obviously a matter of fighting the dead. Let them say that it seems to be an accident.There is also that incomparable sincerity between each other.Alas, speaking is indeed an art. Compared with these old idiots, I am far behind.

"Then the county magistrate Laodu will work harder to attend the funeral for Shuai Yu." Zhang Yan said again.

Du Pu said: "Du is fully prepared to send Qu Shuai back east at any time."

Zhang Yan nodded and looked at Tao Sheng: "When can our army set off?"

Tao Sheng said: "All the luggage has been taken care of, and it only takes half an hour to get out of the camp and then we can set off."

Hearing this, Zhang Yan bowed her hands to Qin Yi and Du Pu respectively, and said, "Brother Qin Yi, County Magistrate Du, since that's the case, let's go outside the camp and pray for Shuai Yu to see him off!"

"But by arrangement." Qin Yi and Du Pu replied.

Afterwards, everyone left the central military tent and then the camp.Tao Sheng began to arrange for the soldiers to break camp.

One mile north of the camp, Du Pu had ordered people to set up the venue, and invited some monks and Taoist priests to save him from the poison. (Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty.)
Yu Du's coffin was parked on a wooden platform, and the monks and Taoist priests sat around the coffin.

More than 1000 people from the poison department, as well as people brought by Du Pu and Qin Yi, lined up under the high platform.Yu Du's followers wrapped their heads in white scarves, while visitors wrapped white gauze around their left arms.Zhang Yan, Bai Rao and other generals of the Montenegrin army also wrapped their arms in white gauze.

Du Pu and Zhang Yan presided over Yu Du's funeral.Du Pu was well prepared and the ceremony was very cumbersome.Du Pu personally served as the celebrant, and it took more than half an hour to complete all the procedures.

At the end of the funeral, the Montenegrin army camp was also dismantled, and all the soldiers were assembled.

Zhang Yan bid farewell to Qin Yi and Du Pu.Du Pu ordered people to bring water and wine to see the Montenegrin army off.

After that, the Montenegrin Army took Yu Du's coffin and retreated northward.

At this time, it was almost noon.

"It can be regarded as gone, and Du Pu is finally relieved." Looking at the team of the Black Mountain Army, Du Pu breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is already the best result." Qin Yi was also quite emotional.

Du Pu smiled wryly and said, "Yes, Brother Qin Xian, you don't know, even today, I've always been worried, for fear that Zhang Yan would suddenly go back on his word!"

Qin Yi smiled and shook his head: "Brother Du is too worried, Zhang Yan is also a hero, and he can't do things that are capricious."

"Brother Qin Xian, it's almost noon, how about going back to the county town with Du for dinner?" Du Pu said.

Qin Yi nodded: "That's exactly what I meant!"

………………

After half an hour, everyone returned to the county seat.Du Pu held a banquet in the county government office to entertain Qin Yi.He specially asked Qin Yi to be the host.Qin Yi declined briefly, then sat down safely.

The purpose of Du Pu's move is nothing more than to confirm the status of the master between him and Qin Yi.Two days ago, after he returned to Zhan County from Wofuling, he notified his subordinates of his decision to serve Qin Yi as the master.The subordinates saw Qin Yi's strength, and also learned that Qin Yi was absolutely sure to be the prefect of Shangdang County, and no one objected to this matter.Zhan County will become Qin Yi's territory sooner or later anyway, and the earlier he seeks refuge, the sooner he will give Qin Yi a good impression.

During the banquet, the officials of Zhan County toasted Qin Yi frequently.

That afternoon, Qin Yi returned to Reclining Buddha Ridge.

On the morning of the second day, Qin Yi's army pulled out of camp and returned to Lu County.Du Pu led some officials from Zhan County to Wofo Ridge to see Qin Yi off.

From leaving Lu County to now, Qin Yi successfully completed the task of rescuing Zhan County after ten days.He also accidentally took over the land of Zhan County, and reached an alliance intention with the Black Mountain Army.For Qin Yi, sending out troops this time was quite rewarding.
