One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 387

"Bo Fu, what did you say?" Qin Yi couldn't believe his ears when he heard Sun Ce's words.

Sun Ce said: "Last year when my father led troops into Luoyang, he immediately rushed to Luoyang Palace to fight the fire. Some soldiers found a jade seal in a collapsed palace. I want to dedicate this jade seal to Yuan Shu in exchange for the three thousand rivers. Eastern soldiers and horses. Does the master think it is feasible?"

"Emperor Jade Seal? Are you sure that what Wen Taigong found is the Emperor's Jade Seal?" Qin Yi asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Sun Ce said: "That jade seal is engraved with the six characters of the Emperor's Xingxi, and it came from Luoyang Palace, so it can't be wrong."

"How many jade seals does the Son of Heaven have?" Qin Yi asked again.

Huang Gai took over the words and said: "Since the first emperor came to Huaxia, Li Si ordered, and the emperor has six jade seals in total. They are "Emperor's Seal", which is used for all seals; The letter seal is used for dispatching troops; the emperor's travel seal is used for enlisting ministers; the emperor's seal is used for envoys to foreign kings; the emperor's letter seal is used for respecting the heaven, earth, ghosts and gods."

Qin Yi suddenly realized: Oh, so the emperor has so many jade seals!

"What about the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, what is it used for?" Qin Yi asked again.

Huang Gai said: "The Jade Seal of the State is a national treasure. It can only be used when the crown prince is appointed and when the emperor passes the throne. The Jade Seal of the State plus the six seals used daily by the emperor are collectively called the Seven Seals."

Qin Yi fell silent, thinking silently: I went to Luoyang Palace with Sun Jian to fight the fire last year, and then I saw Diao Chan, and was lured by Diao Chan to salvage the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. Presumably, Sun Jian found the "emperor seal" Xingxi", that is when I salvaged the Chuanguo Yuxi.

This is really God's will!It was originally rumored in history that Sun Jian once found the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom in Luoyang Palace and hid it privately.Later, Sun Jian died in battle, and Sun Ce exchanged Yuan Shu for the freedom of the Jiangdong army with Sun Jian's private collection of the imperial jade seal, and then Sun Ce led the troops back to Jiangdong to start a business.Now that the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is in my hands, who would have thought that Sun Jian still found a jade seal? It seems that there is God's will in the dark!

"How could the emperor's jade seal be left behind in Luoyang Palace?" Qin Yi was a little puzzled.

Han Dang said: "The prince must not know that although the jade seal is the emperor's seal, it is not kept by the emperor, but by the imperial attendant in the palace. Presumably, when the emperor moved westward, the imperial seal attendant was in a panic. A jade seal was left behind."

Huang Gai also said: "No matter how this jade seal was left behind, it must be true. Such an important item came from the palace, so no one would dare to counterfeit it."

Qin Yi thought for a while, then looked at Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, this seal is a relic of Wen Taigong, are you willing to dedicate it to Yuan Shu?"

Sun Ce said: "This jade seal is just a stone. Ambitious people regard it as a treasure, but in my eyes, it is of no importance at all. It is better to dedicate it to Yuan Shu in exchange for the freedom of my Jiangdong soldiers and horses. I will lead the Jiangdong soldiers. Creating a foundation is enough to comfort the spirit of my father in heaven."

"Well, Yuan Shuxiang has ambitions. If he gets this jade seal, he will definitely let the Jiangdong Army go." Qin Yi nodded, "Since Bo Fu has made up his mind, let's do it this way. Captain Lu's battalion, Let’s build it together.”

Sun Ce hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said hesitantly: "Master, I came to Bingzhou, in fact...in fact, I want to borrow food from you."

"Borrowing food?" Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment.

Sun Ce said: "Yuan Shu has always been stingy. Even if he is willing to return Jiangdong soldiers and horses to me, he will definitely not allocate enough food and grass. However, it is not a day's work for a certain person to return to Jiangdong to start a business..."

Qin Yi waved his hand, interrupted Sun Jian's words, and said: "I originally allocated half a year's food and grass to Xiaowei Lu's battalion. Among them, three months' food and grass were returned to Wen Taigong who originally borrowed them, and the other three months' food and grass were returned , was a thank you gift from Qin. However, now that Bo Fu has to return to Jiangdong to support more than 4000 people, this amount of food and grass is obviously not enough. Although Shangdang County is also short of food, fortunately, the summer harvest has arrived, and it will not take more than a few days. Now that we can collect the grain tax, how about I lend you three months of grain and grass?"

When Sun Ce heard this, he immediately bowed his hands to Qin Yi: "Thank you, Master, for your great kindness! With these three months of food and grass, this disciple is enough to gain a foothold in Jiangdong."

"Na Bofu will go back to Shangdang County with me first, and after the grain tax is collected, it will not be too late to go back to Yuzhou to ask Yuan Shu for soldiers and horses." Qin Yi said.

"This..." Sun Ce hesitated again.

Huang Gai said: "Master Fu, Bo Fu wants to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible. Why don't we let Bo Fu and Yi Gong go back to Yuzhou first, and I will go to the party with Master Fu. After collecting the grain and grass, I will escort the grain and grass with Captain Lu's battalion." , go directly to Jiangdong to meet Bo Fu and the others."

Han Dang also said: "Right now, Cheng Pu and Zu Mao are still staying in Yuzhou to lead the lord's army. After the death of the lord, Yuan Shu has always wanted to annex the lord's army. If we stay in Bingzhou for too long, I'm afraid something will happen in Yuzhou. It's better to ask Yuan Shu to send troops and go back to Jiangdong."

Qin Yi nodded: "In that case, let's follow Gongfu's idea. It's just...Bo Fu, you and I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and now we meet each other in a hurry, but we are about to separate immediately."

Sun Ce also had some feelings, and said: "Since I came to Bingzhou, I should serve my master for a few more days. However, my revenge has not been reported, and my family's fortune has not been prospered. I have to go back to Jiangdong first. I will listen to my master when I have a chance in the future." .”

"A good man has ambitions all over the world. I am also very pleased that Bo Fu is thinking about the last will of Wen Taigong. Then I will not keep you anymore. Tonight, I will have a good get-together. Tomorrow, Bo Fu will return to Yuzhou."

………………

That night, Qin Yi hosted a banquet for Sun Ce, Han Dang, and Zu Mao, accompanied by Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong.Early the next morning, Sun Ce and Han Dang led the more than two hundred soldiers to say goodbye to Qin Yi, while Huang Gai and Lu Jun stayed behind.

Sun Ce and Han Dang returned to Yuzhou, but they did not dare to take the shortcut of Luoyang.Instead, go east along the Yellow River, and then transfer to Chenliu County, Yanzhou.Qin Yi wrote two letters, one to Wang Xu and one to Cao Cao, asking them to lend Sun Ce a way.With Qin Yi and Sun Jian's face there, Wang Xu and Cao Cao would naturally not embarrass Sun Ce.

After seeing off Sun Ce and Han Dang, Qin Yi ordered to break camp and return to Shangdang County.

By the time Qin Yi and the others rushed back to Shangdang County, the summer harvest had come to an end.The so-called summer harvest means harvesting wheat.As the saying goes, three wheats are not as long as one autumn, and three autumns are not as busy as one wheat.It means that the duration of the wheat harvest is very short, shorter than the sum of the three autumn harvests; at the same time, the wheat harvest is very busy, and it is necessary to rush to harvest and plant autumn grain immediately. Therefore, the addition of the three autumn harvests is not as good as the one season of wheat harvest busy.

In later generations, rushing to plant autumn grains generally refers to corn, but in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, corn had not yet spread to the land of China, and autumn grains referred to soybeans and sorghum.These two crops can be sown after the wheat harvest.Although the output is not as high as that of spring sowing, but after the wheat is harvested, two crops can be planted in a year, and the total grain output will naturally be higher than that of only one season.This is also the experience summed up by the working people in their long-term farming practice.

To Qin Yi's surprise, when he returned to Changzi County, he saw Zhang Yan.
