One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 175 Visitor from Neighboring County
"Xianzun, send troops to the eldest son of the county, I must capture Yan Rou back!" Xu Huang said with a red face.The reason for blushing is half anger and half shame.Yan Rou made fun of him, which made him angry and ashamed.

"Sit down, Gongming. Let me tell you about the situation in Changzi County first." Qin Yi raised his hand to signal Xu Huang to sit down.

Xu Huang had no choice but to sit back.

Qin Yi said: "Wei Jian said that Qiu Xi is the self-proclaimed eldest son of the county magistrate. As soon as he became the county magistrate, he immediately recruited troops. He currently has 500 troops, and the composition of the troops is unknown. Among them, [-] people Stationed at the Huangshiya Iron Mine located in Longhuai Township, Lu County."

Speaking of this, Qin Yi asked Xu Huang with a smile: "Gongming, we are outnumbered, do you still want to attack Zhangzi County?"

"This..." Xu Huang was embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he tentatively said, "Although there are 600 people in Zhangzi County, most of them are newly recruited troops. On the other hand, our army is under the command of General Sun Wentai. Elites, it shouldn’t be a problem to win more with less.”

Zhao Yundao: "Brother Gongming, don't forget that Changzi County still has a strong city to rely on."

Xu Huang stopped talking.

Qin Yidao: "What Gongming and Zilong said is reasonable. Lu Jun's troops have at least experienced the war against Dong Zhuo, and they are all old soldiers. If they fight in the field, they will naturally not be afraid of the more than 2000 people in the eldest son county. But the eldest son The county has a strong city to rely on, but we have nothing to do."

"Then take back the iron mine first!" Xu Huang changed his tune, "1000 people fight 500 people, we are sure to win!"

Qin Yi looked at Zhao Yun: "What does Zilong think?"

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "Someone thinks what brother Gongming said makes sense."

Qin Yi originally thought that Zhao Yun would object to Xu Huang's opinion, but Zhao Yun's words exceeded Qin Yi's expectations.He immediately frowned and said: "Zilong, Gongming, if we take the initiative to take back the iron mine, it will be tantamount to declaring war on Qiu Xi. It seems a little unwise to rush to fight Qiu Xi now that we are not on a firm foothold!"

Zhao Yundao: "It's human nature for the county lord to consider, but the county lord ignores the situation in Lu County, Shangdang County, and even Bingzhou as a whole."

"What does Zilong mean by that?" Qin Yi asked.

Xu Huang also perked up his ears, waiting for Zhao Yun's eloquent remarks.

Zhao Yundao: "Since Zhang Yang fled to the north, Shangdang County has no leader. The counties are based on their own territory and run their own affairs. There are many ambitious people like Qiu Xi who are always planning to expand their sphere of influence. When we first came to Lu County, It is the time when we are being watched by all forces. If we act tough, all forces will be jealous and dare not easily offend Lu County. But if we act too weak, we will definitely become the target of public criticism, everyone Want to take a bite."

Xu Huang immediately interjected, "Zilong is right. Since the Huangshiya Iron Mine is in Lu County, why should he take it away from Qiu Xi? If we don't take it back immediately, we will wait to argue with Qiu Xi from now on. Right! Maybe, he will underestimate us, make more progress, and invade Lu County sooner or later."

After hearing Zhao Yun and Xu Huang's words, Qin Yi's heart was also moved.That's right, Ren Shan was bullied, Ma Shan was ridden by others, and I was new here, honest people are not popular in this place, so I should show some color to others.

But after another thought, I am a newcomer after all, and now my eyes are smeared with the situation in Lu County, so I am eager to fight, in case the backyard catches fire...

Seeing that Qin Yi was still hesitating, Zhao Yun asked, "The county lord is worried that Lu County is not yet stable, which is not conducive to war?"

Qin Yi nodded and said: "We are still migrants now, and the government affairs in Lu County have not been released at all."

Zhao Yundao: "Because of this, we should show iron-like wrists. As long as we regain the iron mines, the power of narrow victory will naturally prevent the ghosts and monsters in Lu County from jumping out to cause trouble. Your Majesty the county, take advantage of me We still have plenty of military rations and grass, so we need to make a decision on this matter as early as possible, the sooner the better!”

"Yes, take back the iron mine as soon as possible. At that time, even if Qiu Xixing invades and the host and guest have changed positions, we don't have to be afraid of him." Xu Huang strongly agreed with Zhao Yun's suggestion.

Qin Yi was finally tempted, instead of waiting for Qiu Xi to turn his face, why don't I take the initiative to beat him up so that he can calm down.The iron ore must be taken back, but as for Zhangzi County, it can be released first.

"Okay, since both of you are strongly in favor of taking back the iron mine, let's send someone to investigate the specific situation of the Huangshiya Iron Mine..."

As soon as Qin Yi said this, a yamen servant suddenly walked into the second hall.

"What's the matter with you?" Qin Yi interrupted, looking at the yamen servant.This man's name was Jiang Kang, who was a soldier under Lu Jun's army. He was a very clever young man. Qin Yi asked him to be his follower, equivalent to a correspondent in the army of later generations.

"Reporting to the county magistrate, the brother who was guarding the south city gate just now came to report that there is a man who claims to be the eldest son's county chief registrar. On the orders of the eldest son's magistrate Qiu Xi, he came to Lu County to pay a visit to the county magistrate." Jiang Kang was concise and clear. said.

"What did you say, Qiu Xi would send someone to visit me on his own initiative?" Qin Yi was very surprised, and thought he was hallucinating.

Zhao Yun and Xu Huang also looked at each other in surprise, and both felt that this matter was incredible.

Jiang Kangdao: "The man's name is Qiu Rui, he claims to be Qiu Xi's cousin, and he is the eldest son of the County Registrar."

"What did Qiu Xi do? He really thinks highly of me. He actually sent his cousin to visit me!" Qin Yi was puzzled.

Xu Huang said: "It must be the weasel giving the chicken New Year's greetings, it has no good intentions!"

Zhao Yun smiled slightly: "No matter what the purpose of Qiu Rui's visit is, we must meet him first."

Qin Yi nodded: "That's right, if he came here with courtesy, if we don't see him, then we'll be nothing. Jiang Kang, you go to the south gate in person and lure Qiu Rui to the county government."

"Promise!" Jiang Kang withdrew as ordered.

"Hehe, we are still discussing how to beat Qiu Xi, but he politely sent someone to visit me. Why do I feel that the three of us are bad guys!" Qin Yi said with a playful smile.

"Hahaha, maybe it was Qiu Xi who was afraid of Tianyu's prestige and took the initiative to give in!" Xu Huang laughed optimistically.

Zhao Yundao: "It would be the best if we can live in peace with Qiu Xi. But I think that Qiu Xi's intention is definitely not that simple."

Having said that, he bowed his hands to Qin Yi: "The county lord, when Qiu Rui arrives, no matter what request he makes, the county lord must not rush to agree."

Qin Yi nodded: "Don't worry, Zilong, if I don't know about Qiu Xi, I might really think that he sent someone to visit my neighbor out of sincerity. But I already know from Wei Ke What Qiu Xi did before, naturally he will not be unguarded."

The three of them were waiting in the second hall to make an appointment for a cup of tea, when Jiang Kang ushered in a scholar in his thirties.
