One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 367 The Wrong Fight
"Tian Yu, why did you come here?" Cai Yong asked in surprise as soon as he saw Qin Yi.

Qin Yi cupped his hands towards Cai Yong, and said: "Today, a certain soldier is going south for military affairs, and he just heard that Cai Zhonglang has passed by Wenxi County, so he came here to meet him."

Cai Yong was greatly moved, and hurriedly said: "Tian Yu, how can you delay military affairs for the sake of this old man?"

"It's okay." Qin Yi smiled slightly, then looked at Zhang Liao, cupped his hands at Zhang Liao and said, "But brother Wen Yuan is in person?"

Zhang Liao hurriedly replied, "It's Zhang, General Qin. It's been a long time."

"Long time no see?" Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, "Have you and I met before?"

Zhang Liao said: "Last year, outside Hulao Pass, I met General Qin. It's just that I was in the formation at that time, so General Qin naturally didn't notice Zhang."

"Oh, so it is!" Qin Yi suddenly realized.Wang Jing said that Zhang Liao used to be Hu Zhen's subordinate, so Zhang Liao must have been in the army when Hu Zhen guarded Hulao Pass last year.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi felt a little scared.Fortunately, Zhang Liao's reputation is not well-known, otherwise, if Hu Zhen ordered Zhang Liao to fight outside Hulao Pass last year, I'm afraid I would have suffered disaster.

Qin Yi wanted to ask Cai Yong and Zhang Liao a lot of things, but at this moment they were still on the road, so it was inconvenient to talk for a long time.Qin Yi then said to Cai Yong: "Cai Zhonglang, some of Qin's soldiers are resting four or five miles away from here. It is already noon, and they should have cooked. Why don't we go there to rest."

"Okay, the old man is also hungry, so I will bother Tian Yu." Cai Yong readily agreed.

"Don't be polite to me."

………………

The team of Cai Yong and Wang Jing followed Qin Yi and Pei Ji to the three-way intersection.At this time, Qin Yi's soldiers were resting in the wasteland by the roadside.They are already cooking.

Qin Yi sat in a circle with Cai Yong, Wang Jing and Zhang Liao and had dinner together.The food is very simple, that is, dry food soaked in boiling water, but at any rate it is a hot meal.

Several people ate and chatted, and Cai Yong briefly told Qin Yi about their experiences along the way.

After breaking up with Qin Yi, Cai Yong and the others continued to travel northeastward for about half a day, and encountered Guo Si's army.Guo Si knew Cai Yong. After meeting, Guo Si asked Cai Yong about the situation in Chang'an.Cai Yong only said that when he left Chang'an, there was no chaos in Chang'an, and he also learned the news of Dong Zhuo's sudden death on the way, so he wanted to take refuge in Hedong County temporarily.Guo Bang was eager to rush back to Chang'an, so he didn't talk to Cai Yong for a long time, but just wrote a warrant and handed it to Cai Yong, asking Zuo Fengyi's county officials along the way to take care of Cai Yong.Afterwards, Guo Si and Cai Yong separated, one went west and the other went north.

After Cai Yong arrived in Anyi County, he went to Wei's house and stayed in Wei's house for five days before continuing to go north.It was also in Anyi County that Cai Yong met Zhang Liao.

"Cai Zhonglang, do you know the current situation in Chang'an?" Qin Yi asked about the situation in Chang'an after hearing Cai Yong's experience.

Cai Yong said: "Wen Yuan knows this matter better than the old man." After speaking, he turned to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao ate fast, he was already full and drinking water.He put down the water bag and said: "A certain person marched to Yangling with Guo Si, and met a messenger sent by Li Que. Li Que told Guo Si that Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Situ's design. Afterwards, Huangfusong, Yang Biao, Gai Xun, Shi Sunrui and others held the imperial decree and led troops to control the gates of Chang'an City and the imperial palace. The Xiliang Army in the city was either surrendered or wiped out. Li Que wrote to Guo Si, hoping that Guo Si will meet with him to discuss countermeasures."

"Then why did Wenyuan abandon Guo Bang?" Qin Yi asked curiously.

Zhang Liao said with a wry smile: "I was not originally from the Xiliang Army's direct lineage, and was widely rejected in the army. Now that Dong Zhuo died, although the various departments of the Xiliang Army can work together to deal with the crisis for the time being, they will inevitably fall apart or even be destroyed in the future. Zhang Liao A certain one didn't want to be buried with the Xiliang Army, so he quietly left the army, intending to return to his hometown in Yanmen County. From then on, he retired to the mountains and forests, and lived the rest of his life."

"Wen Yuan, you are only in your early twenties, how could you have the intention of retiring?" Qin Yi asked with a strange expression.

Zhang Liao sighed: "Although Dong Zhuo is cruel, the court can still be maintained with him. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, all kinds of ghosts and monsters in the court will definitely jump out one after another, and then fight for power and profit with each other. The world is bound to be in chaos. Gou Huo's life is not bad. Can Zhang have other extravagant hopes?"

"It is said that heroes come out of troubled times, and Wen Yuan is full of talent. If he just goes back to hiding, wouldn't it be a waste of what he has learned?" Qin Yi said.

"Well, Zhang naturally wants to be like General Qin, going up to protect the country and going down to the peace and prosperity, but now that the world is in chaos, Zhang can't see where the road ahead is."

Qin Yi really wanted to test it out now, whether he could recruit Zhang Liao under his command, but it was less than half an hour since he met Zhang Liao, and he didn't believe that he had the aura of dominance that would make people admire him.This matter can only be suppressed temporarily, and we will talk about it after returning to Zhangzi County.

"Tianyu, you said that there are military affairs going south, but what kind of military affairs are they?" Cai Yong asked Qin Yi curiously.

Qin Yi waved his hand and said, "Actually, this military matter is not important to someone. It was Yang Feng's scouts who found out that there was an army of about 2000 people, escorting many family members, marching from Chang'an to Luoyang."

After a short pause, Qin Yi continued: "You all know that Yang Feng was originally the commander of the Baibo Army, and he was a bit greedy. Seeing that he could gain a profit, he wanted to lead his troops to intercept the army going to Luoyang. I am an ally of Yang Fengnai. He had an accident, so he wanted to go south to have a look."

"The army going from Chang'an to Luoyang?" Cai Yong frowned upon hearing this, "Now, all the troops marching west of Hangu Pass are heading towards Chang'an, why would this army go the other way? And go? Whose soldiers and horses will it be?"

"It belongs to Lu Bu." Zhang Liao said flatly.

Qin Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Zhang Liao, "How did Wen Yuan know that this is Lu Bu's army?"

Zhang Liao said: "Lü Bu went to fight in Kanto with Niu Fu, and he still has 2000 people left in Chang'an. Once Dong Zhuo dies, these 2000 people can't protect themselves in Chang'an, so they will naturally escort their family members east to find Lü Bu to join them."

"Wen Yuan's deduction coincides with Qin's." Qin Yi said appreciatively, "Qin also deduced that this is Lu Bu's army. Wen Yuan, do you know who is leading the army?"

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "It should be Hou Cheng and Gao Shun."

"Gao Shun!?" Qin Yi was startled, his heart beating suddenly.

Wang Jing noticed that Qin Yi's complexion was abnormal, and immediately said, "General Qin, who is Gao Shun, and why did it shock you so much?"

Qin Yi shook his head, but did not answer Wang Jing.

Zhang Liao said: "Gao Shun is a lieutenant in Lu Bu's army, his official position is lower than that of Hou Cheng."

At this moment, Qin Yi suddenly said: "I'm afraid Yang Feng is in danger."
