One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 433
On October 28, Qin Yi led the army to leave Yanmen Pass and returned to Taiyuan triumphantly.He only took away five hundred Hun soldiers and prisoners.These 500 people are going to serve as royal guards.The rest of the captives, captured war horses and luggage, except for a small part given to Nie Yan by Qin Yi, remained at Yanmen Pass and were handed over to Zhang Liao for management.

Qin Yi appointed Zhang Liao as the envoy of Yanmen Pass to replace Li Zhen.The part of the captives and war horses left at Yanmen Pass will be of great use to Qin Yi in the future.These captives and war horses are only temporarily staying at Yanmen Pass, and Qin Yi will dispatch them according to the situation in the future.

On the third day of November, Qin Yi returned to Taiyuan.Xi Zhicai, Cui Hong and others led Taiyuan County civil and military officials and powerful gentry representatives to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the triumphant return of Qin Yi's army.

After resting for two days, Qin Yi held a meeting and made arrangements for the officials of Bingzhou Governor's Mansion and Taiyuan County.

Xi Zhicai was officially appointed as Bingzhou Biejia and Taiyuan County prefect; Guo Jia was appointed as Bingzhou Zhizhong, Zhao Yun was appointed as Bingcao; He also assisted Zhao Yun in taking charge of the Bingzhou military; Liao Hua was promoted to Junzheng, and as a military judge, he was in charge of military discipline and commanded the scouts and Qin Yi's personal guards.In fact, Liao Hua's position is equivalent to the head of the military police regiment in later generations.

For the remaining positions in the governor's office, Qin Yi assigned some officials recommended by Taiyuan County and Yanmen County.For the officials of Taiyuan County, Qin Yi did not make major adjustments.Except that Xi Zhicai served as the prefect concurrently, and the former county magistrate of Jinyang County was adjusted to concurrently serve as the county magistrate, the rest of the officials kept their own posts.

At the same time, Qin Yi also sent official documents to the counties of Bingzhou, in the name of the governor of Bingzhou, ordering the prefects of the counties to come to Taiyuan to discuss matters on the second day of the twelfth lunar month.

Two days later, Cui Hong handed over his duties as the magistrate of Taiyuan County, bid farewell to Qin Yi, and rushed to Chang'an to help Wang Zhi.

Five days later, Qin Yi received an official document from the Yecheng court.In the official document, the imperial court greatly praised Qin Yi's victory at Yanmen, approved the "Yanmen Treaty" signed between Qin Yi and the Southern Xiongnu, and approved Qin Yi's performance on a series of adjustments to official positions.The imperial court conferred the title of Qin Yi on the title of General Protecting the Xiongnu, commending Qin Yi for his contribution.

The Hun Hun Zhonglang held this position at the same level as the governor of Yizhou.It had been disused for many years, and now the position has been re-established.

Qin Yi guessed that it was probably because Yuan Shao couldn't figure out how to reward Qin Yi that he got the position of Zhonglang Hunnu again.If Qin Yi is not given the position, then Qin Yi can only be given the title of State Shepherd of Bingzhou, or the General Anbei on him has been promoted to General Pingbei.But Yuan Shao definitely didn't want Qin Yi to be promoted so quickly, so he had no choice but to designate him as the General of the Huns.

Qin Yi didn't care about this.Now that the big man has entered the troubled times, the court's law seems to be in vain. No matter what his official position is, he is the master of Bingzhou anyway, and that is enough.

In the days that followed, Qin Yi was busy getting familiar with government affairs and planning to implement the specific terms of the "Yanmen Treaty".It is now November, and according to his agreement with the leaders of the Southern Huns, the border market will be opened for the first time at the end of November to trade with the Huns.

In the first transaction, the Huns mainly wanted to exchange for food.Therefore, Qin Yi summoned some powerful landlords in Taiyuan County and asked them to take out some of their surplus grain and go to Yanmen Pass to trade with the Huns.

These powerful landowners did not resist this matter.They were not short of food and were also very interested in some specialties of the Huns, so they all readily agreed.

However, Qin Yi also warned these powerful landowners who were willing to participate in border market transactions not to use too much grain for transactions.His purpose was to keep the Huns from starving to death.Let them taste some sweetness first, but you can't feed them all at once.Only in this way can we ensure the healthy development of border cities in the future.It can also ensure that the Huns will not be disloyal.

In addition to Taiyuan County's need to produce grain, Yanmen County will also call up people to carry grain to the border market to trade with the Huns.Qin Yi asked Xi Zhicai to strictly control the amount of food output through precise calculations, and share it with everyone involved in the transaction.

Another thing is the establishment of the Southern Huns Royal Court.Qin Yi used the seized property to buy a big house in Jinyang City for Qubei, and used it as the residence of the Southern Huns.He also appointed Du Ji concurrently as the governor of the palace, and ordered Liao Hua to send [-] soldiers to be responsible for the security around the palace.

After returning to Taiyuan from Bei, Hua Xiong led 500 people to escort him to Yecheng to meet with Liu Bian.If nothing unexpected happens, Qubei should be back before the Chinese New Year.When he comes back, he will have to sit in a well and look at the sky.He, the Shanyu of the Southern Huns, was actually placed under house arrest in Taiyuan City by Qin Yi.

In addition to being busy, Qin Yi also took Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia from time to time, accompanied by officials from Taiyuan County, to inspect the counties in Taiyuan County.

After being so busy for nearly a month, before I knew it, November was over.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, in the middle of the morning, Zhang Yan and Yang Sui arrived at Jinyang City at the same time.Qin Yi went out of the city in person and welcomed Zhang Yan and Yang Sui into the Governor's Mansion.

Now, Qin Yi has become the governor of Bingzhou, Zhang Yan, the governor of Hedong County, and Yang Sui, the governor of Xihe County, have become Qin Yi's subordinates.

Hedong County originally belonged to the Department of Sili Xiaowei, but Zhang Yan had already planned to send all the Black Mountain Army to Hedong County. He himself was appointed as the prefect of Hedong County by the Yecheng court. Therefore, the current Hedong County has been divided into two. It belongs to the Sili Xiaowei Department of the Chang'an court, and the eastern part belongs to the Bingzhou Governor's Department of the Yecheng court.In one Hedong County, there are two prefects and two sets of government teams.

However, Zhang Yan has only moved 5 people to Hedong County now, and his Hedong Taishou Mansion has just opened.

Originally, Qin Yi thought that Zhang Yan would not recognize him as the governor of Bingzhou, so he sent official documents in the style of orders to other counties, but letters in the style of friends to Zhang Yan.He invited Zhang Yan to come to Taiyuan, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yan would really come.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Qin Yi, Zhang Yan met him as a subordinate, which surprised Qin Yi a little.As for Yang Sui, he was originally supported by Qin Yi, so he would naturally support Qin Yi.

Zhang Yan greatly appreciated Qin Yi's great victory in Yanmen, and expressed his opinion to Qin Yi that he would follow Qin Yi to make contributions from now on.

Regardless of whether Zhang Yan's words were sincere or just falsehoods, for Qin Yi, it was a good thing that he had this attitude.At least Zhang Yan and Yang Sui were willing to come to Jinyang, which also gave Qin Yi a good chance.This is also a deterrent to officials in other counties in Bingzhou - look, the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army are both submissive under the rule of Qin, do you still dare to take action?

As soon as Zhang Yan and Yang Sui arrived, the prefects of other counties in Bingzhou rushed to Jinyang one after another.

On the morning of the second day of the twelfth lunar month, Qin Yi convened the prefects of the counties and the officials of the governor's mansion in Bingzhou to discuss matters.This meeting is actually just a formality, and its purpose is to determine Qin Yi's future dominance in Bingzhou.

But this scene must go through, otherwise Qin Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, will not be recognized by all the counties in Bingzhou.

At the meeting, Qin Yi announced to everyone the appointment of officials in Bingzhou Governor's Mansion, and asked the prefects of all counties to stick to their duties and obey the dispatch.The prefects of all counties all expressed their opinions and would obey Qin Yi's orders.

So far, Qin Yi has truly secured the position of governor of Bingzhou.
