One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 311 Military Discussion
It was nearly noon when Qin Yi, Xi Zhicai, Cao Ren, Dian Wei and others returned to the eldest son's county seat, and a banquet was indispensable.

However, because Cao Ren came with a mission, he didn't drink to his heart's content on the grounds that he would not delay the discussion.Qin Yi and Xi Zhicai were also very restrained.On the other hand, Dianwei's wine seemed very generous when the glass was dry.This person also had a surprisingly large capacity for alcohol. He drank more alcohol by himself than Qin Yi, Xi Zhicai, and Cao Ren combined.But Dian Wei's speech and behavior did not show any abnormality at all.

After the banquet, Qin Yi originally wanted to arrange for Cao Ren and Dian Wei to rest for an afternoon, but Cao Ren said that official matters were more important. With things on his mind, he could not sleep well, so he decided to wait until the military affairs were settled before having a good rest at night.

Qin Yi also followed suit with the guests, ordered people to withdraw from the banquet, immediately served tea, and began to discuss military affairs with Cao Ren.

The venue for the banquet is the Second Hall of the Sheriff's Mansion.Originally, there was a screen behind Qin Yi, who was the host, but after the banquet was over, Qin Yi ordered someone to remove the screen, and immediately revealed a huge map hanging on the wall.

The center of this map is Bingzhou, and the borders of Yanzhou, Jizhou, Yongzhou, Sili, and the Southern Huns are all drawn.

When he saw this map, Cao Ren's eyes lit up. "Fu Jun's method is good. Hang up the map, and everyone can see it clearly."

Qin Yi smiled faintly, and said, "A certain person spent a lot of thought on making this map."

Maps in this era are very small. When looking at a map, it is often placed on the table, surrounded by a group of people. It is the first time Cao Ren has seen a huge map like Qin Yi hanging on the wall.

Qin Yi walked up to the map, picked up a bamboo pole from the side, pointed to the location of Chang'an City, and said, "Qin has received the news that Niu Fu led [-] troops, and Zhang Ji led [-] troops. Starting from Chang'an, head east."

Afterwards, he moved the position indicated by the bamboo pole to the position of Luoyang City, and continued: "Niu Fu is going to come to Bingzhou to take office, but Zhang Ji is going to Yongzhou. Now Luoyang City has been occupied by Yuan Shu's troops, and Zhang Ji only Bringing 3000 people will not be able to take Luoyang. Therefore, Qin believes that Niu Fu must first go to Luoyang with Zhang Ji, and after helping Zhang Ji take Luoyang, he will come to Bingzhou again."

Cao Ren nodded and said: "It should be so."

Qin Yi continued pointing and said: "If Niu Fu comes to Bingzhou, there are three ways to go, one is to go to Hedong County, enter Xihe, and then to Taiyuan Jinyang; the other is to go to Hedong County, then go straight to Taiyuan County and go north to Jinyang; It’s going to Hanoi County, passing through our Shangdang County and entering Taiyuan.”

"Which way is Niu Fu most likely to go?" Dian Wei asked.

Qin Yidao: "After analysis with Mr. Xi and Yang Feng, the prefect of Hexi County, he believes that Hanoi County is now attached to the imperial court of Yecheng. If Niu Fu leaves Hanoi County, the war will inevitably expand. Therefore, it is unlikely that he will go to Hanoi County. Great. No matter which of the remaining two roads he takes, he will pass through Xiangling County in Hedong County, so we set the main battlefield in Xiangling County."

"Xiangling County is now occupied by the Baibo Army...oh, Yang Feng, right?" Cao Ren asked.

"That's right!" Qin Yi nodded and said, "Yang Feng has formed an alliance with a certain person to fight against Niu Fu."

"Well, I also think that Niu Fuhui is most likely to pass through Xiangling." Cao Ren said.Then, he asked Qin Yi: "Then where should someone be stationed?"

Qin Yi pointed to Yanghe County in the south of Shangdang County, and said: "A certain plan to let brother Zixiao go to Tianjingguan in Gaodu County. There are two purposes. One is to prevent Niu Fu from leaving Hanoi County and then joining our Shangdang County. If Niu Fu goes this way, Hanoi County will definitely not let him do what he wants. Therefore, brother Zixiao is stationed at Tianjingguan to monitor Niu Fu. In addition, if Niu Fu advances too fast, brother Zixiao can also resist it, etc. Our army returns to aid. Second, if Niu Fu goes to Xiangling County, brother Zixiao can attack from the flank and fight against Niu Fu together with X and Yang Feng."

Speaking of this, Qin Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "In addition, a certain person has written to Yuan Taiwei to ask him for help. If there is no accident, Yuan Taiwei should order Hanoi County to send troops to help XX."

Cao Ren pondered for a while, then said: "My lord, may I ask how many troops you and Yang Feng sent together?"

Qin Yi said: "Our two families have sent a total of [-] troops. If it is not enough, there will be about [-] reserve troops."

Cao Rendao: "In this way, you and I have [-] troops. If we just defend the city, it is enough to withstand [-] troops. However, after discussing with my brother, I was worried that there would be troops in Bingzhou Respond to Niu Fu, if this is the case, Fu Jun and Yang Feng will face the enemy!"

After hearing Cao Ren's words, Qin Yi felt very relieved.Cao Cao's ability to think of this shows that he is really helping Qin Yi, rather than just working out of face.

"Brother Zixiao is right. Mr. Hexi is also worried that someone in Bingzhou will help Niu Fu. The most likely one is Wang Zhi, the governor of Taiyuan County. Other counties, because Xihe County and Shangdang County are blocking me, they send troops The possibility of assisting Niu Fu is very small. In this regard, I have turned to Zhang Yan, the general of the Black Mountain Army who was in trouble. He promised me that he would send troops to contain Taiyuan County's troops."

"The Lord of the Palace could actually invite Zhang Yan?!" Cao Ren was shocked.It is easy to understand that Qin Yi can form an alliance with Yang Feng. After all, if Niu Fu comes to Bingzhou, Yang Feng's Xihe County will also bear the brunt like Shangdang County.But Zhang Yan is different. Although this person also has an official status, he has always been outside the court. He is also an official and a thief. The Black Mountain Army is a small independent kingdom.

Qin Yi smiled wryly and said, "It's better to say it's a purchase than an invitation. Someone paid a lot of money to invite Zhang Yan to send troops."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dian Wei immediately said: "Then we Yanzhou also sent troops, what price did Qin Mansion spend?"

Qin Yi felt a little embarrassed when he heard Dian Wei's words.What did it cost him?Just wrote a letter.

Cao Ren glared at Dian Wei: "Hong Fei is talking nonsense. Lord Qin has saved my lord's life. We can hardly repay this kindness even if we send troops to help him."

Dian Wei chuckled, cupped his hands towards Qin Yi and said, "My lord, please forgive me, I am a straight person and I spoke rashly."

Qin Yi waved his hands with a smile, and said: "Hong Fei is right. I really should thank Meng Degong for help. However, my money is very tight now, but I can't afford it. This kindness, I can only write it down first, and I will repay it later."

Cao Ren hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry about it, you and I should talk about business."

Afterwards, he asked: "Then when will you lead the troops to Tianjing Pass?"

Qin Yi said: "Niu Fu has to go to Luoyang first and then turn north. Therefore, it will take at least half a month for our army to fight with him. How about I give Brother Zixiao twelve days to garrison Tianjing Pass? "

Cao Ren pondered for a moment, then said: "When I returned to Yanzhou, I immediately led my troops to set off. There is enough time."

"Then there will be Brother Laozi Xiaoxiao!"
