One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 58 Night Attack on Xingyang ([-])

Qin Yi went around to the south gate of Xingyang city.

A quarter of an hour later, he arrived at the south gate.

The south gate is the same as the east gate, with many bonfires set up outside the city.

As soon as Qin Yi approached the city gate, as he expected, someone shouted from above the gate, telling him to stop.

"Brothers on the tower, please go and report to Commander Hua Xionghua as soon as possible, and tell Qin Yu that he has urgent military information." Qin Yi repeated his old trick and shouted at the tower.

There was silence on the tower.After waiting for three or four minutes, Qin Yi heard Hua Xiong's voice: "Are you Qin Duyou?"

"Exactly, Dudu Hua, I have found you!" Qin Yi shouted deliberately pretending to be overjoyed.

"You're not dead yet?"

The next sentence Hua Xiong yelled almost caused Qin Yi to stumble.Did I not pay back the money I owed you, or did I put your wife to sleep, and you just hoped for my death?

"Captain Hua, that night, Qin was narrowly escaped death, and he was lucky enough to take his life."

"Qin Duyou, since you are still alive, if you don't hurry back to Liaodong, why did you come to Xingyang instead?"

"Captain Hua, I want to go back to Liaodong, but I can't go back!"

There was silence on the tower for a while, and suddenly a small thing fell down.Immediately afterwards, Qin Yi heard Hua Xiong shout: "I already understand what you mean. The one who threw down the tower just now was five hundred coins, so you can take it back to Liaodong. Well, at least I met you once." , This is my own money, I should reward you on behalf of the late General Xu."

Qin Yi couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that you thought I couldn't go back to Liaodong because you didn't make money, and you treated me like a beggar...and rewarded me for Xu Rong, treating me as the author of online novels for later generations!

"Captain Hua, you have misunderstood what Qin meant..."

"Needless to say, there is going to be a war here in Xingyang. If you don't want to die, you should leave!"

"Captain Hua, I really have an urgent military situation to inform him."

"Hahaha, just you? Tell me about an emergency military situation?" Hua Xiong laughed, "Stop dawdling, take the money and get out!"

Upon hearing Hua Xiong's foul language, Qin Yi was also annoyed. He jumped up and pointed at the city gate tower and shouted loudly: "Well, Hua Xiong, I am thinking of you for having treated me to a meal. This is I was kind enough to tell you about the military information that someone accidentally found out, but you treat me like this! Well, well, well, when you suffer a big loss, don't blame Qin for not speaking in advance!"

After speaking, Qin Yi turned around and left.

One step, two steps, three steps, five steps, eight steps...

"Qin Duyou wait a minute!"

Just after Qin Yi took more than ten steps, Hua Xiong on the tower finally spoke again.

Qin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: This reckless guy finally stopped me, otherwise, tonight's plan would have to be aborted.

"Do you have any other advice from Governor Hua?" Qin Yi turned around and faced the city gate again, saying angrily.

"Qin Duyou, come forward and come up in a hanging basket!"

After Hua Xiong finished speaking, Qin Yi saw a hanging basket placed on the top of the city gate.

Qin Yi secretly rejoiced: the first step of the plan, success!

When Qin Yi came to the gate of the city, he was about to sit in the hanging basket when Hua Xiong called out, "Please Qin Duyou to help Hua pick up the five hundred coins."

I'll go, this man is so stingy!They all said it was a reward for me, why are you thinking of taking it back!
Secretly despising Hua Xiong, Qin Yi picked up the money bag and sat in the hanging basket.

The hanging basket slowly ascended, and after a short effort, it was parallel to the parapet of the tower.

Qin Yi could now see clearly that Hua Xiong was standing on the top of the city tower with his helmet on, and on both sides of him were soldiers standing with swords and guns.Pulling the gondola are two soldiers.

"Brothers, give me a hand." Qin Yi pretended to be weak, and with the help of two soldiers, he got out of the basket and stepped onto the city gate tower.

Hua Xiong looked Qin Yi up and down, and said in surprise, "Qin Duyou, why are you in such a mess again?"

At this time, Qin Yi was wearing a wrinkled blue robe, which was still covered with dust and withered grass. His face was equally dirty, and his embarrassment was exactly the same as the time when he sneaked into Xu Rong's military camp.

Of course, Qin Yi did this on purpose on the way here.

"Oh, don't mention it, when the enemy attacked the camp that night, Dudu Hua didn't take me to escape, Qin almost died of fright!" Qin Yi looked at Hua Xiong with extremely resentful eyes, "Fortunately, Qin finally He relied on his two legs to escape the enemy's pursuit and was lucky enough to save his life."

Being reprimanded by Qin Yi, Hua Xiong didn't blush at all, he chuckled and said, "You are lucky, I thought you must have died that night!"

Go buy a bag for you!Who is it, why don't you expect me to order well?
"I heard that General Xu Rong died that night?" Qin Yi lowered his voice and asked Hua Xiong.

"You are very well informed...By the way, you said you have military information to inform XX, what military information is it?"

Qin Yi looked around.

Hua Xiong understood, and waved his hand at Qin Yi: "Follow me into the tower."

Qin Yi followed Hua Xiong into the tower.But seeing the mess inside, there are only two things that can be called furniture, a couch and a low table.

Hua Xiong sat down on the couch, motioning for Qin Yi to sit behind the low table.

Qin Yi sat down, and then said: "On the way back to Liaodong yesterday, Qin Yi happened to see a lot of soldiers and horses camping near Luotuo Ridge on the east bank of Bian River..."

"But Suanzao's soldiers and horses?" Hua Xiong asked in surprise when he heard it.

"That should be the case. I saw the flags in the military camp. The biggest and tallest poles had the words Cao, Bao, Zhang, Qiao, Liu, etc. written on them."

"Hiss—" Hua Xiong gasped, "It must be the troops of Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Liu Dai and others. Could it be that Suanzao's group has all sent troops to attack Xingyang?"

"Qin thinks so too." Qin Yi said.

Hua Xiong lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly became vigilant, his eyes glowed coldly, and asked Qin Yi: "So, Qin Duyou showed kindness and came to Xingyang to report to someone?"

Qin Yi smiled wryly and said: "I didn't expect to come to Xingyang to report to the Governor of Hua at first, but with so many soldiers and horses camping along the road, I couldn't pass Luotuoling. In desperation, I remembered Xingyang. On the way, I heard about it again. General Xu died in battle, and the governor of Huadu ordered you to set up an army in Xingyang."

"You are not a member of the army, how come you can't cross Camel Ridge?" Hua Xiong was still suspicious.

Qin Yi said: "Although I am not a member of the army, I am walking from the west to the east. Now that there are swords and soldiers everywhere, if I am regarded as a spy by those people in the east, wouldn't it be hard for me to argue?"

"That's a reason." Hua Xiong nodded, and suddenly asked again: "Since you came from the east, why did you come to the south gate again? It was still late at night."

Qin Yi said: "I went to the east gate at first, and the soldiers there told me that the governor of Huadu is at the south gate, so I came to the south gate. As for the night... I want to come during the day, but I dare not."

"Why don't you dare?"

"I don't know why. When I went east, I had no problem. But when I turned back yesterday afternoon, I saw soldiers on horseback running around. I was afraid of being accidentally killed by those soldiers, so I found a place to hide. Get up and wait until dark before rushing to Xingyang."

"Oh, Sun Jian's army arrived south of Xingyang yesterday afternoon and set up camp twenty miles away. Those soldiers you saw must be scouts sent by Sun Jian," Hua Xiong explained.

"Oh, no wonder!" Qin Yi pretended to be enlightened.

"The military situation you told me, Hua will send someone to investigate tomorrow." Hua Xiong's suspicious expression disappeared, and he asked Qin Yi again: "I don't know what Qin Duyou's plan is... Oh, it's not that Hua didn't keep you in Xingyang, It’s because there’s going to be a war here soon, so it’s inconvenient for you to stay here.”

"Qin intends to go to Luoyang, and return to Liaodong after the war is over."

"Qin Duyou has relatives and friends in Luoyang?"

"There are no relatives or friends, but there is a person who can barely be regarded as Qin's mentor."

"Who is it?"

"Cai Yong, general of Zuo Zhonglang." Qin Yi replied calmly, "Qin went to Shuofang to study a few years ago, and happened to meet Cai Zhonglang who was exiled to Shuofang, and was taught by him for several days."

"Oh, since Qin Duyou has plans, I will take a rest in Xingyang tonight, and tomorrow I will let you go to Luoyang."

"I'm bothering Dudu Hua."

Plan the second step, success!
