One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 389 Reinforcement of Hebei

Now that Qin Yi has determined the general policy of sending troops to Hebei, Xi Zhicai continued: "My lord, yesterday, a certain person had already thought about the matter of sending troops in detail, and a certain person thought that since it was an attack on the interference station, it should not bring too many troops. , focusing on flexibility and mobility, a maximum of [-] cavalry is enough. In addition, you can’t bring too much luggage, but in this way, the food and grass supplies may not be able to keep up!”

Qin Yi thought for a while, then smiled slightly: "Don't worry about food and grass supply. The so-called raid warfare is nothing more than guerrilla warfare. Since it is guerrilla warfare, then simply use food to the enemy and use war to support war."

"Give food to the enemy, and use war to support war?" Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, and then he laughed loudly: "Brother Qin, when it comes to this kind of warfare, Zhang is very familiar with it. Our Black Mountain Army used to rely on With the development and growth of this kind of warfare..."

When Qin Yi heard Zhang Yan's words, black lines suddenly appeared on his face: "Your sister, what you said is to support the enemy with food and war is nothing more than being a bandit to rob the people. What you said to me is to support the enemy with food and war." Is the war just a matter of time?

"Uh...Brother Zhang, what Qin means is that after our army enters Youzhou, we can harass Gongsun Zan's various strongholds in the rear and obtain food and grass from the enemy. Qin doesn't want to plunder the people."

"If you don't plunder the people, how much food can the people have in their hands. The best targets are those wealthy and powerful households in Youzhou. Hehe, as long as you break through a family, you can get enough food for a month or two." Zhang Yan was still bragging His "guerrilla warfare" experience.

Qin Yi saw that Zhang Yan seemed to want to teach him all the experience of being a bandit, so he could only perfunctoryly say: "Thank you brother Zhang for reminding, if Qin is like Hebei, he will act according to the camera."

After finishing speaking, Qin Yi didn't wait for Zhang Yan to continue, and said to Xi Zhicai: "Sir, then I will only take the cavalry to Youzhou. It just so happens that Zilong has not returned to Huguan County to take up his post, so he will use him from the Tianjingguan The 800 cavalry brought back, plus the [-] soldiers of a certain person, make up [-] people. By the way, Hua Xiong is also called. He just surrendered to me, and he just wanted to do his best. hour."

Xi Zhicai nodded, and said: "Since the soldiers and horses are ready-made, it's enough for a certain one to gather food and grass. At most one or two days, the Lord can send troops to Youzhou."

Qin Yi said: "Mr. Xi, the troop dispatch this time is a raid and a small-scale battle, so there is no need to use your great god. You will stay in Zhangzi County to sit in town, okay?"

Xi Zhicai said: "Even if the lord doesn't say anything, Xi wants to stay. The summer grain has been harvested, and the tax and grain will be collected soon, and the people must be urged to rush to plant autumn grain. The government affairs are complicated, and Xi can't get away from it."

Qin Yi thought for a while, and then said: "Huang Gongfu and Lu Jicai have come to Zhangzi County with a certain person, and they are entrusted to the master to entertain them. When the tax and food are collected, I can borrow them according to the amount."

"My lord, don't worry, I will keep this matter in mind and arrange it as appropriate."

………………

On the same day, Qin Yi asked Xi Zhicai to write a reply letter to Yuan Shao, promising Yuan Shao to send troops to Youzhou and send people to the front line of Jizhou.

Two days later, Qin Yi, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Pei Ji led [-] cavalry and left Changzi County together with Zhang Yan.

After marching for three days, they arrived in the Montenegro area.Zhang Yan warmly entertained Qin Yi and the others.Qin Yi's soldiers and horses rested overnight in Montenegro before continuing on their way.

Carrying the warrant written by Zhang Yan, along the way, all the departments of the Black Mountain Army took the initiative to give way to Qin Yi's troops. Whenever they met a general of the Black Mountain Army, they treated Qin Yi with courtesy.If it was in time for the meal, a meal of wine and meat would be unavoidable.

As a result, Qin Yi's marching speed could not be increased.It took them five full days to leave the Montenegrin Army's sphere of influence.

After leaving the sphere of influence of the Black Mountain Army, Qin Yi marched more cautiously.The number of scouts sent to the front to explore the way has also increased a lot.

Not long after the journey, Qin Yi suddenly discovered that this section of the road seemed familiar to him.

"Zilong, where is the frontier? Why does this road seem familiar to me?" Qin Yi asked Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun himself is from Hebei, so he is more familiar with the geography of Jizhou and Youzhou than Qin Yi. He smiled slightly and said, "My lord, this is where I met my lord last fall."

Qin Yi suddenly realized: "In this way, Guangchang County is not far ahead."

"My lord has a good memory!" Zhao Yun said, "Guangchang County belongs to the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom, but now that Gongsun Zan's army has advanced to Jieqiao, Guangchang County may have been captured by Gongsun Zan."

"Yes, I looked at the map before and found that the Jieqiao was already in the central area of ​​Jizhou. No wonder Yuan Shao was in a hurry. I really don't know how he fought this battle, but he let Gongsun Zan hit the Jieqiao in one go. In the letter, he was ashamed to say that he and Gongsun Zan had a mutual victory and defeat, so this is clearly Yuan Shao's defeat!"

"My lord, when you mention Yuan Shao's name again, can you call him by his nickname?" Pei Ji, who was walking on Qin Yi's right, suddenly said, "You only talk about Yuan Shao, but I always feel like you're talking about me."

"Ah?" Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, then relieved.Pei Ji's real name was Pei Yuanshao. After meeting Qin Yi, Qin Yi helped him change his name to Pei Ji. Yuan Shao then became Pei Ji's cousin, which was exactly the same pronunciation as Yuan Shao.

"Hahaha, Yuan Shao, I'm sorry, I'll be more careful in the future." Qin Yi laughed.Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong also laughed.

After everyone laughed enough, Zhao Yun said again: "Actually, Yuan Benchu ​​took control of Jizhou not long ago, and what he can really control is only the southern part of Jizhou. The northern part of Jizhou only obeys Yuan Benchu ​​on the surface. Once Gongsun Zan raises his troops, the northern counties of Jizhou will surely fall in the wind." It is not surprising that Gongsun Zan's troops can advance to Jieqiao."

"That makes sense." Qin Yi nodded and said, "But Qin still hopes that Gongsun Zan will just charge from the middle, and hope that Guangchang County has not been taken by Gongsun Zan."

While several people were talking, a scout came back from the front and reported to Qin Yi: "My Lord, thirty miles ahead is Guangchang County. Brothers have found out that Guangchang County was captured by Gongsun Zan more than a month ago. Today's The magistrate of Guangchang County is named Liu Bei."

"Liu Bei?!" Upon hearing this name, Qin Yi was taken aback.

Liu Bei actually served as the magistrate of Guangchang County?Then Guan Yu and Zhang Fei must be in Guangchang.It's a bad start, I, Qin, just came to Hebei for the first battle, and unexpectedly met these three great gods... Wait, maybe it's someone with the same name!

"Have you found out the details about Liu Bei?" Qin Yi asked immediately.

"My brothers have already inquired. This Liu Bei is from Zhuojun, Youzhou. He claims to be a descendant of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, the clan of the Han family." The scout said.

That's right, it's that Liu Bei!

At this moment, Zhao Yun said, "My lord, I have heard a little about Liu Bei's deeds. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he and his sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei recruited soldiers in Zhuo County to help the court put down the chaos. County captain. Later, he was displeased with the extortion of property by the inspector in Anxi County. He whipped the inspector, abandoned his position and fled, and went to Youzhou to join Gongsun Zan. Anxi County is not far from Zhending, the hometown of a certain person. Liu Bei whipped the inspector It is also an anecdote, so someone has heard about his deeds."

Even if Zhao Yun didn't say anything, Qin Yi knew what Zhao Yun said, even in more detail than Zhao Yun knew.

"Alas, since Liu Bei has garrisoned Guangchang, our army's path forward will be blocked and we may not be able to enter Youzhou." Qin Yi sighed.
