One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 286 Homecoming

In the evening of the same day, Qin Yi led the army back to Lu County.Xia Houlan led the civil and military forces of Lu County out of the city ten miles to welcome the triumphant army.

Xiahoulan has not yet returned because she went back to her hometown to worship her ancestors. Therefore, Xiahoulan has been in charge of the government affairs of Lu County during this period.

Although Qin Yi sent troops to Zhan County this time, although he went through two battles, there was no real battle. Therefore, Qin Yi took away a lot of troops who participated in the battle, and returned with complete parts.

Every day in Zhan County, Qin Yi communicated with the rear through letters, and Xia Houlan, Xi Zhicai and others also knew the progress of the battle ahead.Early this morning, Qin Yi sent someone to deliver a letter to Xia Houlan, saying that he would return to Lu County before dark, and Xia Houlan took people out of the city to meet him.

The two sides met, and after a while of pleasantries, the two teams merged into one team and returned to the county together.

That night, Xia Houlan hosted a banquet in the county government to welcome Qin Yi, Xu Huang, Pei Ji and others.During the meeting, Xia Houlan reported to Qin Yi the situation of resettling the refugees.During this time, a total of a hundred or so refugee households were willing to stay in Lu County to settle down.Xia Houlan formed them into a new village and moved them to a relatively remote area in the northwest of Lu County.Lu County dispatched defenders and mobilized some civilians to help these refugees build houses.Xia Houlan allocated food from the treasury and distributed it to the refugees according to human hair, so that they could tide over the difficulties temporarily.

In addition, Xia Houlan has also planned arable land for the refugees, which can be cultivated after the spring of the next year.

A hundred or so households sounds like a small number, but in fact, in this era, counties and counties are vast and sparsely populated. Take Luxian County as an example, there are only six to seven hundred households.It is not a small achievement for Lu County to keep a hundred or so refugee households.

The rest of the refugees, after hearing that the Black Mountain Army had withdrawn, left Lu County one after another and returned to their hometowns.Before leaving, they all spontaneously went to the county government gate, knelt and kowtowed to the gate of the county government office.

It can be said that Xiahoulan successfully completed the task of resettling refugees.Qin Yi praised this greatly.

After a banquet at the county government office, Qin Yi declined Xia Houlan's invitation to stay overnight, and went to the military camp with Xu Huang.Lu Jun, Zhou Cang and other generals who stayed in Lu County saw Qin Yi and Xu Huang come back, and they asked enthusiastically.Therefore, everyone replaced wine with tea, and they went to sleep until midnight.

Early the next morning, Qin Yi, Xu Huang, and Pei Ji led [-] cavalry and embarked on the journey to Zhangzi County.This time, the cavalry from Lu County, Changzi County, and Huguan County were all drawn by Qin Yi.Now that they have returned in triumph, all parts of the cavalry will naturally return to the construction.

Xu Huang has not returned to Jian for the time being, he will accompany Qin Yi to Zhangzi County, and then go to Yecheng.Lu County's military affairs are still managed by Lu Jun and Zhou Cang.

The cavalry traveled fast, and before noon, Qin Yi and the others arrived at Zhangzi County.Xi Zhicai led the eldest son's civil and military officials out of the city to meet him.

To Qin Yi's surprise, there was an outsider among the people who greeted him.This person and Qin Yi are also acquaintances, but it is Li Le from the Baibo Army.

"Why is County Magistrate Li here?" Qin Yi asked in surprise as soon as he saw Li Le.

Li Le explained: "At the order of my lord, a certain came to Changzi County to pay a visit to Qin County Magistrate, and arrived before dark yesterday. I heard from the county magistrate that the Qin County Magistrate led troops to rescue Zhan County, and he will return to Changzi County today. Therefore, a certain person went out of the city with Xixian Cheng to meet Qin County Magistrate."

"Oh, so that's the case. Qin is ashamed to let County Magistrate Li condescend to greet him!"

"Hahaha, County Magistrate Qin, you and I are also acquaintances, so stop acting so hypocritical." Li Le laughed.

Qin Yi smiled awkwardly: "It's true. Then Qin will go straight. Brother Li is coming to Zhangzi County this time, but he is going to Yecheng?"

Li Le nodded: "Li was ordered by my lord to go to Yecheng to submit to the imperial court. Li came to Zhangzi County to answer to Brother Qin."

Why did he say that he was "responsive" to Qin Yi?It was because Qin Yi and Yang Feng had a conversation first, and Yang Feng led the Baibo army to submit to Liu Bian, and Qin Yi was the one who recommended him, so the credit should go to Qin Yi.Li Le came to Changzi County to accompany the envoy sent by Qin Yi to Ye City.Therefore, Li Le's so-called "Yingmao" means "report".

After listening to Li Le's words, Qin Yi nodded: "Brother Li came at the right time, and Mr. Qin is about to send people to Yecheng. Even if Mr. Li doesn't come, Mr. Yang has to urge General Yang."

Xi Zhicai came over and said, "My lord, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back to the city. Someone has ordered someone to prepare a banquet to welcome the lord and brothers."

"Okay! Back to the city!"

………………

At noon, Li Lezi went to the guest room in the backyard for a rest, while Qin Yi and Xi Zhicai met in the second hall of the county government office, and they had a long talk.

The content of this conversation is very complicated.First, Qin Yi informed Xi Zhicai of the history of supporting Zhan County, and made a summary of the gains and losses and Xi Zhicai.

In fact, Xi Zhicai already had a general understanding of the situation ahead through the military report sent back by Qin Yi.After listening to Qin Yi's narration, Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, this time I sent troops to Zhan County, it was the first time to fight Yu Po, and my lord fought very well. Even if Xi Mou went out with the lord himself, I can't think of anything better than that." The lord's plan to lure the enemy into ambush is a better idea. However, in the confrontation with Zhang Yan, the lord was in danger. Thanks to the lord's luck, Pei Junhou arrived in time and captured Zhang Yan alive. The retreat of the Black Mountain Army. Otherwise, the Lord might have been in danger for his life at the time!"

Qin Yi also said fearfully: "Yeah, I was indeed a little impulsive at the time."

"My lord, you are now in the safety of four counties, and you will be the governor of a county in the future. If there is another war, you must not charge forward in person. If others make mistakes, at most one general will be lost. If the lord makes mistakes, everything will be lost." Lose." Xi Zhicai criticized Qin Yi very bluntly.

Qin Yi said humbly: "Mr. Qin will keep in mind what you said!"

Afterwards, the two discussed the management of the newly acquired Zhan County.Both of them believed that it is not appropriate to intervene too much in Zhan County's government and military affairs for the time being, and let Du Pu maintain autonomy. After Qin Yi's strength is further strengthened in the future, Zhan County will be managed as a whole.

Finally, and the most important thing, it is about the matter of submitting a letter to the court of Yecheng.Qin Yi and Xi Zhicai deliberated carefully and agreed on a plan to deal with various situations.After that, Xi Zhicai personally wrote a letter, and Qin Yi used the official seal after reading it.

After talking with Xi Zhicai, Qin Yi invited Xu Huang and Li Le to the second hall.Qin Yi first asked Li Le about the situation of the Baibo Army.Li Le said that after Yang Feng returned to Baibo Valley, he easily took control of the Baibo army.Afterwards, Yang Feng urgently summoned Li Le to Baibo Valley, and explained that Li Le went to Yecheng to write a letter.

"Brother Li, I'm going to let my sworn brother Xu Gongming accompany you to Yecheng." Qin Yi said.

Li Le glanced at Xu Huang, and said, "It's a great fortune to be able to travel with Xu County Captain!"

"Magistrate Li is being polite." Xu Huang cupped his hands in return.

Qin Yi said: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, what Qin means is that the two of you set off for Ye City as soon as possible, and strive to arrive before the end of the year."

Li Le nodded: "That's exactly what I planned." He looked at Xu Huang again: "Xu County Lieutenant, how about setting off tomorrow?"

Xu Huang said: "Xu can leave at any time."

"That being the case, the two of you will leave tomorrow." Qin Yi said, "Brother Li, my elder brother is originally the emperor's guard, and he is very familiar with Yecheng. Brother Li should listen to my elder brother's opinion more."

Li Le smiled: "Brother Qin, don't worry, Li has already said that he came to Zhangzi County this time to answer to you. Li will do whatever you ask Li to do. Now go to Yecheng, and Li will obey everything." Xu Xianwei's arrangement."

"Brother Li can think so, Qin can feel at ease." Qin Yi nodded, and then he stated some plans he had agreed with Xi Zhicai to Li Le and Xu Huang.

The next day, Xu Huang and Li Le each took dozens of soldiers, left Zhangzi County, and embarked on the road to Yecheng.
