One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 159 Finally took office

Lucheng County, also known as Luxian County, is located in the south section of the east wing of Taihang, in the middle and west of Shangdang County, and borders on Changzi County in the southeast of Shangdang County.Lu County is surrounded by mountains and is a small basin.

It was the end of autumn. On this day, ten miles east of Luxian County, there was a high-rise colorful shed. A dozen famous gentry and their servants gathered beside the official road, sometimes talking with each other, and sometimes looking eastward.

The first person, about 30 years old, has a tall and straight figure and an elegant face. He wears a cyan plain scarf and a cyan robe. Three short beards hang down to the jaw, and they are meticulously trimmed and extremely smooth.

"Brother Boru, Brother Yu still doesn't understand that Qin Yi is the county magistrate appointed by the deposed Emperor Hongnong, why do we flatter him so much?" A short and fat squire asked the leader.

"Brother Ziting, don't call His Royal Highness King Hongnong by the abolished emperor. Now that he has re-enthroned in Yecheng, he is already the emperor. The county magistrate of Lu County he appointed will be our parental official from now on."

"I know that King Hongnong has already ascended the throne in Yecheng, but we used to support the emperor Luoyang. Wouldn't we be ridiculed if we changed our course so quickly?"

The leader shook his head lightly, and said with a smile: "No, no, King Hongnong used to be the successor designated by the late emperor's edict. Although he was deposed by Dong Zhuo later, but now that he has become the emperor again, he is still the emperor. The orthodox heir of the Han Dynasty. We serve the emperor of Yecheng as we obey the heavens, and only those who don’t know the truth will laugh at us.”

"But..." The short and fat man was about to say more, but before he could come out with "but", a person came over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Ziting, the situation is stronger than others. Luo The emperor Yang has already gone to Chang'an, and now even the entire Sili has become a land without an owner, not to mention my Shangdang County. After all, Chang'an is too far away from Lu County, but the county magistrate appointed by the emperor in Yecheng, But it happened in a blink of an eye, instead of not showing good face to that County Magistrate Qin and annoying him, I might as well give him some face first, so that we can get along with him later on."

"That's right, since Governor Ding was killed by Lu Bu's ungrateful person, the whole Bingzhou has been in chaos. Now that there are two more emperors in this world, we don't know who is orthodox. Anyway, this Lu County, no matter who will be the leader We all have to recognize this county magistrate. Is it possible to gather family soldiers to fight against them? Even the Huns were beaten away by that county magistrate Qin. , it’s even more chaotic than when the Yellow Turbans rebelled.”

The short and fat man seemed to be convinced, he kept shaking his head and sighing.

At this moment, a fast horse suddenly ran from the east, carrying a man dressed as a writer.

"Report, my lord, County Magistrate Qin and his party are three li away from here, and they will be here soon." The family member walked up to him and got off his horse, walked up to the leader, and knelt down on one knee to report.

"Oh, everyone, let's line up and prepare to meet the county magistrate Qin." The leader straightened his robes and called everyone to line up.

Before long, everyone saw several flags appearing at the intersection ahead.The flags read respectively "Yingyang Xiaowei Qin", "Lucheng County Magistrate Qin", and "Lucheng County Cheng Zhao".

Under the flag, there are two young generals wearing helmets and armor, one is black and the other is white, one is riding a white horse and the other is riding a red horse.Behind them, the soldiers lined up neatly, walking with clanging steps and great spirit.

When the team was approaching, the country gentry went up to meet them, and the leader cupped his hands and said, "Dare to ask, but the county magistrate of Qin is here?"

The man on the red horse returned the salute immediately: "This is Qin Yi."

"Wei Kai in Xialucheng, led a group of squires here to welcome the county magistrate Qin to take office. The county magistrate came from afar to work hard."

Hearing the words, Qin Yi dismounted immediately, stepped forward and cupped his hands at Wei Kai again: "Excuse me, please leave the city to meet me, Qin is ashamed."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wei Kai introduced Qin Yi to the squires who came to greet him. Qin Yi greeted him one by one. At the beginning, he remembered the names of a few people, but in the end, he forgot all of them, except Wei Kai. , the names of the rest are still unknown.

Qin Yi also introduced Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, Pei Ji, and Lu Jun to the squires.At this moment, Zhou Cang and Pei Ji were wearing the leather armor of the Huns, and their turbans were also changed to blue, and they were no longer the same as before.

Wei Kai led Qin Yi and others to the colorful shed, and each drank three cups of wind-receiving wine.Afterwards, the two sides formed a team and headed towards the county seat.

Some of these country gentlemen came on horseback, and some came by car.Wei Kai was riding a horse, and Qin Yi invited Wei Kai to ride with him.

"Mr. Wei, I heard that you were the one who led the people to extinguish the fire in the county government office. This favor, Qin has recorded it." Qin Yi said.

Wei Kai smiled slightly: "This is a matter of Wei's responsibility, the county lord is welcome."

"But I don't know what the loss of the county government is? Is it still inhabitable?" Qin Yi asked again.

"There is a slight loss, but it can still be used after some repairs. However, it is currently uninhabitable." Wei Kai replied.

"Can't live in people?!" Qin Yi had a headache.God is so annoying, he just took office, and he doesn't even have a place to live?
Wei Kai said: "Don't worry about the county lord. Wei's house is quite big. If the county lord doesn't dislike it, you might as well stay in Wei's house for a few days first. After Wei mou summons people to repair the county government, the county lord will come back It’s not too late to move to the county government office.”

"In that case, it's better to be obedient than to be respectful, Mr. Qin, thank you for your kindness." Qin Yi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly thanked him.

…………

Arriving at the county seat, Qin Yi ordered Lu Jun and Pei Ji to lead the army to camp outside the city.He only brought Zhao Yun, Zhao Yu, Zhou Cang and dozens of soldiers into the city.

Luxian County is not big, with a radius of about five miles.Although the city wall is made of stone, it is very low, that is, four to five meters high.In fact, the civil engineering skills in this era were not high, and the means for the army to attack the cities were limited. Most of the cities were not very large.The scale of urban construction like Lu County is medium.

The city is well planned, the streets are straight and vertical, and there are many houses on both sides, there are big families and small families.

Wei Kai led the way, and first led Qin Yi and others to the county government office to have a look.Indeed, as Wei Kai said, the loss is not serious.Although all the houses were affected by the fire, they were basically preserved intact.It's just that the traces of smoke and fire are too obvious, and it is indeed uninhabitable.

The entire county government office was empty, and no one was seen.

"Since the county government was occupied by the Huns, the original county magistrate and all the subordinate officials were killed by the Huns. The government servants also scattered away. After that, the Huns forced some people to work in the county government as handymen. A few days ago, the Huns were defeated and fled, and all the handymen who were forcibly recruited went home." Wei Kai saw Qin Yi's doubts and explained proactively.

Qin Yi nodded: "It's okay. So-and-so brought thousands of people to Lu County, and there is no need to worry about no one to do things."

After saying that, he immediately sighed: "Oh, the county government is already like this. It's useless to stay here any longer. Mr. Wei, how about going to your mansion now?"

Wei Kai said: "Someone has ordered a banquet to be held in the house to welcome the county lord. The county lord will come with me."

Everyone left the county government office and went to Wei Kai's house.
