One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 404

It's almost noon.Liu Bei was still hoping that Qin Yi would send someone out of the city to give him some news.Now that he was unsure of Qin Yi's attitude, he couldn't decide on his next move.

Liu Bei's soldiers are already digging wild vegetables everywhere.There is no way, there is no grain in the army, and Liu Bei does not allow soldiers to harass the people, so they have to dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.The good news is that there is no shortage of wild vegetables in this season, and they are all over the mountains and plains.

"Brother, Qin Yi probably won't care about our lives, or else, let's go back to Zhuojun. I sold my house and land in my hometown, so I can exchange some food. We have more than 1000 sons, Where can I not make a breakthrough?" Zhang Fei had lost his patience and gave Liu Bei an idea.

"Oh, Yide, you think things are too simple." Liu Bei sighed and said, "We are still the subordinates of Gongsun Shijun. If we lead our troops away without saying hello, we will flee!"

"If you run away, you run away. It's not like we haven't escaped!" Zhang Fei said, "Back then in Anxi County, Big Brother whipped the postmaster, so we abandoned our official position and left. Big Brother, if we lose our food, we will definitely anger Gongsun Zan. , if we don’t leave quickly, when Gongsun Zan finds out about it, we won’t be able to leave even if we want to.”

"That's right, big brother. Even if Gongsun Zan does not behead big brother because of old feelings, he will definitely punish big brother in order to convince the public. At that time, big brother's military power will definitely be deprived by Gongsun Zan. We managed to hold more than 1000 soldiers and horses in our hands. Hand, if he loses his military power, he will have to swallow his breath and rely on others to live. When will the big brother's ambition be realized?" Guan Yu also echoed Zhang Fei's words.

Liu Bei pondered for a while and said: "Zhuojun is still under Gongsun Zan's rule. Even if he wants to abandon Gongsun Zan, he cannot go to Zhuojun."

"Otherwise, we might as well rely on Qin Yi." Zhang Fei said, "Then Qin Yi is the prefect of Shangdang County, and we ask him to govern a county. The elder brother can still be the county magistrate. After gathering enough strength, Let's plan something else."

"This..." Liu Bei seemed a little moved when he heard Zhang Fei's words.

At this moment, a soldier ran to Liu Bei and reported to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, the gate of Guangchang City has been opened again, and several carriages have come out."

………………

About half an hour later, a big tent was set up in the field three miles south of Guangchang City.

Outside the tent, there were 50 soldiers from Qin Yi and Liu Bei each standing guard.Inside the tent, Qin Yi, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu sat on the ground, surrounded by three pots, eating and drinking.

Three pottery pots, one pot of pork, one pot of mutton, and one pot of vegetables.Qin Yi, Liu Bei and others were drinking and talking.

This is simply a spectacle, the two generals who were originally hostile, actually sat and ate and drank together, as if they were old friends.

"Mr. Xuande, what are your plans for the future?" After talking a lot of unnutritious nonsense, Qin Yi turned the topic on the right track.

Liu Bei put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Master Qin, the grain and grass that I transported were completely destroyed by your fire. Now I can no longer deliver orders to Gongsun Envoy, and I don't know where to go."

Qin Yi smiled slightly: "Mr. Xuande, Qin has a clear path. I wonder if Mr. Xuande wants to hear it?"

Liu Bei cupped his hands towards Qin Yi: "I hope that the Lord will give you some advice!"

"Come, come, let's have another drink." Qin Yi held up the wine cup and invited Liu Bei to drink.

After Liu Bei and Qin Yi drank another cup of wine, Qin Yi said again: "Mr. Xuande, I heard that you are the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan?"

Liu Bei nodded: "A certain ancestor was defeated by King Jing of Zhongshan Liu Zu. It is a pity that when this branch reached a certain grandfather, it had already declined. When it comes to a certain generation, life is even worse. Don't be afraid of the prince's jokes. If it weren't for the yellow scarf During the riots, a certain person participated in quelling the riots and made some contributions, but now I am afraid that a certain person is still a commoner making mats and selling shoes."

“Mr.

"This..." When Qin Yi mentioned this matter, Liu Bei felt a little embarrassed.Afterwards, he shook his head and said, "The branch of Bei has long since disappeared, and there is no name for Bei in the genealogy of the Han Dynasty."

"Does Duke Xuande want to be included in the genealogy and recognize his ancestors?"

Liu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up: "If it can be done like this, I would definitely wish for it. However, this matter is difficult to handle!"

"No, this matter is very easy to operate." Qin Yi said, "Now that the emperor is in Yecheng, Qin and the emperor are very close. If Mr. Xuande agrees, Mr. Qin is willing to report the matter of Mr. Xuande to the emperor. The Son of Heaven will definitely marry Xuan Degong."

"Brother, this is a good thing!" Zhang Fei's eyes lit up immediately.

Guan Yu frowned, and quietly tugged Zhang Fei's sleeve.

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei, then looked at Qin Yi, and said, "Master Qin, are you trying to persuade Liu Bei to submit to the court of Yecheng?"

"How can this be called persuading surrender?" Qin Yi smiled slightly, "Mr. Xuande, you are originally a courtier of the Han Dynasty and a relative of the Han Dynasty. It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the emperor of the Han Dynasty."

"But, Gongsun envoy..."

"What Gongsun envoy?!" Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Gongsun Zan obeyed Dong Zhuo's order, and attacked the land guarded by the emperor himself, which is a treasonous act. Now that Dong Zhuo has also been executed, he, Gongsun Zan, did not repent, but intensified his efforts to mobilize the world. The Battle of the Bridge, this action is enough to show that he is a loyal loyalist to the traitor Dong Zhuo. Such a traitor, Duke Xuande actually wants to serve him wholeheartedly?"

"This..." Liu Bei was rendered speechless by Qin Yi's refutation.

At this time, Guo Jia picked up the wine cup and handed it to Liu Bei: "Mr. Xuande, Mr. Guo has abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side and worked for the Lord of Qin. Why is Duke Xuande still so foolishly loyal to Gongsun Zan?"

Liu Bei didn't answer. He just picked up the wine cup, touched it with Guo Jia, and drank it all in one gulp.

Putting down the wine cup, Liu Bei was silent for a while, and then said: "What Mr. Fu and Mr. Guo said is tantamount to enlightenment for Liu Bei. However, Liu Bei still has more than 1000 brothers under his command who are starving and have no place to sleep. , How can I abandon them and go to Yecheng to enjoy wealth alone?"

When Qin Yi heard it, he secretly rejoiced: This Liu Bei finally let go!
"This matter is easy to resolve." Qin Yi said, "As long as Duke Xuande is willing to recognize his ancestors and go to Yecheng with him, he can first give up half of Guangchang City to accommodate Duke Xuande's subordinates. After the war is over, Duke Xuande can lead his army to go south to Yecheng with Qin to meet the emperor. At that time, Qin will say that it was Duke Xuande who took the initiative to give up Guangchang City to Qin. In this way, Xuande Duke Xuande has made great achievements, and I believe that the emperor will not treat Duke Xuande lightly!"

"Your Majesty's words are serious?" Liu Bei was overjoyed.

"A certain never tells lies!"

"Then... this matter is very important. Can the Lord allow Liu Bei to discuss with the two brothers before making a decision?"

"Of course you can." Qin Yi nodded, "Mr. Xuande, before dark today, Qin will wait for your decision."
