One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 377 Attacking Zhang Liao
After leaving Wang Jing's guest room, Qin Yi came to Zhang Liao's residence again.

"Your Majesty Qin came just in time, Zhang is looking for you?" Zhang Liao said to Qin Yi after the two met and exchanged some pleasantries.

Qin Yi was startled: "Why is Wen Yuan looking for me?"

Zhang Liao said: "Zhang has sent Cai Zhonglang to Zhangzi County safely, and it's time to return to Yanmen's hometown. Zhang wants to say goodbye to Lord Qin."

"Wen Yuan left in such a hurry, could it be that Mr. Qin didn't entertain him well?" Qin Yi was a little disappointed when he heard that Zhang Liao was leaving.

Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "What did Lord Qin say, Zhang, a certain martial artist, received the thoughtful hospitality of Lord Qin, I am very grateful."

"Then...Wen Yuan, please forgive Qin for speaking bluntly. Qin admires your talent very much. Right now, Shangdang County is waiting for prosperity, and it is time to employ people. Can Wen Yuan consider staying and helping Qin." Now that Zhang Liao said he was going back to his hometown, Qin Yi couldn't care less about being reserved, and directly extended an olive branch to Zhang Liao.

"This..." Zhang Liao looked distressed, and hesitated for a while before saying: "Master Qin, Mr. Zhang has been away from home for nearly two years, and only his mother and younger brother depend on each other at home. Mr. Zhang is really homesick, and I hope Mr. Zhang will be considerate." .”

Oh, this is insisting on leaving.However, he did not directly refuse, there is still room for reservations in his words, and I still have a chance to recruit him under my command.

Qin Yi thought for a moment, then said: "Forget it, since Wen Yuan misses his hometown, he might as well go home and take a look. It just so happens that a certain person is going north to Jinyang today, so Wen Yuan might as well pack up and set off with a certain one in a while. how?"

"Okay, that Zhang has bothered the Lord." Zhang Liao agreed very happily this time.

"Wenyuan, pack it up, Qin will sit down and get ready, and we will set off northward after an hour at most."

"Congratulations to the Lord!"

………………

Qin Yi left Zhang Liao's guest room, and immediately came to Xi Zhicai's private room.As soon as he saw Xi Zhicai, he said anxiously: "Mr. Xi, quickly think of a way to make Zhang Liao my younger brother!"

"Zhang Liao? Younger brother?" Xi Zhicai was completely stunned, "Master, can you make your words clearer?"

Only then did Qin Yi wince, and said: "Oh, oh, Qin is impatient. Zhang Liao is the young military officer who accompanied Cai Zhonglang to Changzi County. Qin had a deep talk with him. His martial arts and leadership skills are not in Xu Under Gongming. But now he wants to go home and live in seclusion, farming with his mother and brother. How can Qin let go of such a talent?"

Xi Zhicai finally understood, and asked Qin Yi: "Master, who is Zhang Liao? Is there only mother and brother in his family?"

"Zhang Liao is from Mayi County, Yanmen County. According to him, he only has two relatives in his family: his mother and his younger brother."

Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "My lord, since Zhang Liao is from Mayi, you might as well let him go north with you. On the way, you can try to recruit him. If he still refuses, you might as well think of a reason and let him He will accompany you to Xiangling. I will send people to Mayi secretly to bring his mother and brothers to the eldest son county. Are you afraid that he will not serve the Lord?"

ah?Isn't your trick the same trick that Cao Cao used to make money from Xu Shu?

"This... if we take Zhang Liao's mother and brother to Zhangzi County privately, will it anger him?" Qin Yi hesitated.

Xi Zhicai smiled: "Zhang Liao is only in his twenties. So young, he wants to live in seclusion? This must not be his real idea. The so-called seclusion is just an excuse for him to wait for the time. As long as he wants to When he became an official, the lord cared so much for him, and he would only be grateful. Even if he was dissatisfied with the lord's actions, it was only temporary. When the lord used him according to his aptitude, valued him highly, and treated his family well, he would naturally One who wholeheartedly assists the lord."

Qin Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, for the sake of Zhang Liao, I might as well be a villain for once." Speaking of this, he thought of something else, and said, "By the way, sir, when will you treat me as a villain?" Did the family members come to the eldest son county?"

Xi Zhicai said: "I'm worried about Lord Lao. When the war is completely over and the situation has stabilized, Xi will go back to Yingchuan and bring his mother and sister-in-law to Zhangzi County."

"It's okay, Dong Zhuo just died not long ago, and the situation is still unstable. The eldest son's journey to Yingchuan is a long way away, so it's really inconvenient to bring Auntie and the others over."

………………

In the morning of that day, Qin Yi and Pei Ji led three hundred personal guards, together with Zhang Liao, left Zhangzi County and set off for Jinyang County.

These three hundred personal guards were not the troops that Qin Yi would eventually bring to Xiangling County.His plan with Xi Zhicai was to send a letter back to Zhangzi County after he arrived in Jinyang and mediated the war between the Black Mountain Army and Taiyuan County.Afterwards, Qin Yi and Zhang Yan went to Xiangling, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan respectively led their troops from Gaodu County and Zhangzi County to Xiangling to join Qin Yi.

Qin Yi led a small number of soldiers, and they were all cavalry. They traveled very fast and arrived in Zhan County in the evening.Du Pu, magistrate of Zhan County, welcomed Qin Yi and his party into the city, and hosted a banquet in honor of Qin Yi, Pei Ji, and Zhang Liao.

After the banquet, Du Pu arranged a guest room for Qin Yi and others to rest.

Qin Yi didn't fall asleep immediately, but stayed in the room by himself, lit the oil lamp, and started doing handwork.What he wants to make is a war game for combat deduction.This is Qin Yi's tool to "capture" Zhang Liao.

Qin Yi's idea is very simple. If he continues to recruit Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao already has psychological immunity and will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.Therefore, Qin Yi planned to do what he wanted and use war games to close the psychological distance between him and Zhang Liao.At the same time, it also aroused Zhang Liao's fighting spirit.It would be even better if he could learn a few more tricks from Zhang Liao through weapons deduction.

Qin Yi spent half the night and finally made a perfect war game.He had played with this thing before when he was in the army, but he just changed the composition of the arms.But in this era, this kind of war game has appeared for the first time.Qin Yi believed that as long as he played a few hands with Zhang Liao, he would definitely be addicted to it.

This is indeed the case.

On the second day, after Qin Yi and the others left Zhan County and continued northward, when they were resting, Qin Yi pulled Zhang Liao and showed his war chess.

After Qin Yi finished explaining the gameplay of the war game, Zhang Liao immediately became interested.

"Your Fu moved the battle between the two armies into this square-inch chessboard, which is very novel. This idea is really ingenious!" Zhang Liao praised.

"This thing has been conceived for a long time, and I couldn't sleep last night, so I made it." Qin Yi said with a smile, "Wen Yuan, do you want to play a game with XX?"

"Stick what you want, don't dare to ask for it!"

"Okay, then you and I will each lead an army of [-], and the arms will be composed of two thousand cavalry, two thousand spearmen, two thousand crossbowmen, two thousand sword and shield soldiers, one thousand baggage soldiers, and one thousand auxiliary soldiers." As Qin Yi spoke, he separated the various flags representing the types and numbers of arms.

"The idea of ​​this battle is that you and I start from A and B respectively, and whoever captures the city in the middle first will win." Qin Yi put a piece of wood representing the city in the middle of the chessboard.

Zhang Liao looked at the chessboard and said, "This is too simple, whoever marches faster will win!"

"Of course it's not that simple." Qin Yi smiled slightly, and then put some wood and cloth pieces representing mountains, rivers and other terrains on the chessboard. "Wen Yuan, is it easy now?"

"Oh, that's interesting." Zhang Liao's eyes lit up.

"Then let's start. For the first game, let Wen Yuan familiarize himself with the rules, regardless of the outcome."

Afterwards, the two dispatched troops and generals on the chessboard and started fighting.

Qin Yi's rules are very close to real warfare.After walking a few steps, Qin Yi suddenly discovered that Zhang Liao and his path were the same, neither of them marched straight to the city, but wanted to annihilate the main force of the other side first.

The difference is that Qin Yi dispatched cavalry to detour and quickly approach Zhang Liao's central army, while Zhang Liao fought steadily, with the army pressing on step by step, and rushed towards Qin Yi's central army.

In the end, Zhang Liao was taken advantage of by Qin Yi because he was not yet familiar with the rules.Qin Yi's cavalry attacked Zhang Liao's luggage team, and Zhang Liao's logistics supply was interrupted, and he was defeated.

But this also aroused Zhang Liao's fighting spirit, and immediately asked for another round.

The two played sexually, until Pei Ji urged Qin Yi to hurry up, and they ended the fighting on the game of war.

After marching for a day, at night, after camping, Zhang Liao took the initiative to approach Qin Yi and asked to continue the weapon deduction.

Seeing Zhang Liao getting addicted so quickly, Qin Yi was secretly happy.

In this era, there is neither glory of kings nor chicken eating games. This kind of weapon deduction is considered a very high-end game.Zhang Liao is a military commander himself, and he is only in his twenties. It would be strange if he didn't indulge in this kind of game.Before, he didn't have the chance to lead an army alone, but now Qin Yi gave him a chance to enjoy his addiction, and he soon became addicted to war games.

In this way, Qin Yi and Zhang Liao walked all the way, playing war chess all the way, and unknowingly, the two became chess friends.

When he entered the border of Taiyuan County and was about to reach Yangyi County, Qin Yi suddenly stopped playing war games with Zhang Liao.His explanation to Zhang Liao was that he was about to get down to business, and he had to calm down and think about countermeasures.

Zhang Liao had just become addicted to wargames not long ago, and he couldn't catch it all at once. When it was time to rest, he couldn't scratch his heart.

For Zhang Liao's change, Qin Yi saw and was delighted in his heart.Little man, you have finally become a gamer, I don't believe it, you can still escape from my palm?
