One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 191 The Defenders Surrender
As soon as Qin Yi finished beating the local tyrants, Pei Ji walked in from the outside.

"My lord, good news. The defenders have all surrendered. Captain Xu and County Captain He from the eldest son county have rushed to the county government office!"

As soon as Pei Ji came in, he forgot to salute, and said to Qin Yi with a happy face.

When Qin Yi heard it, his heart suddenly fell back.Those who were writing were all ashamed when they heard Pei Ji's words.

"What about Yan Rou, did you ever surrender?" Qin Yi asked immediately.

Pei Jidao: "I don't know about that, when Captain Xu comes, you can ask him yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two people walking outside the door, one was Xu Huang and the other had an unfamiliar face.

"Tianyu, are you alright?" Xu Huang asked with concern as soon as he saw Qin Yi.

"I'm worried about Gong Ming, but everything is fine."

Qin Yi answered and turned his attention to the man who came in with Xu Huang.This man looks to be in his thirties, with a stocky build, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard. At first glance, he looks like a powerful martial artist.

"He Gai, the defeated general, has met the county magistrate of Qin." The man cupped his hands towards Qin Yi and said.

Xu Huang quickly explained to Qin Yi: "This person is the eldest son of the county captain, responsible for cooperating with Yan Rou to command the defense of the city."

"Oh, County Captain He, it's a pleasure to meet you." Qin Yi hurriedly saluted He Gai, and immediately asked Xu Huang: "Gong Ming, where is Yan Rou?"

Xu Huang said: "I haven't seen Yan Rou before."

"Didn't you see Yan Rou? Did you let him run away again!" Qin Yi frowned.

At this time, He Gai said: "Magistrate Qin, Yan Rou should have escaped. The city defense of Zhangzi County was originally in charge of someone. Today, the county magistrate Qiu Xiqiu sent Yan Rou to the military camp and took over the city defense In command, a certain became Yan Rou's deputy. After Xu Xianwei led the army to attack the west gate, Yan Rou ordered a certain to lead troops to reinforce it. Later, the county magistrate Zhao from Guixian County came with the body of Qiu County magistrate. Seeing that the situation was over, He led his troops to surrender."

Xu Huang took the conversation and said: "After the surrender of County Captain He, he took someone to the barracks to recruit the soldiers who stayed in the barracks. Neither of us have ever seen Yan Rou. He must have heard that Qiu Xi was dead and the defenders had surrendered." , and sneaked away."

"Hehe, this fellow is quite capable of escaping!" Qin Yi smiled helplessly, "Forget it, leave him alone. Gongming, where's Zilong?"

Xu Huang said: "Zilong is currently sorting out various books and records in the Changzi County military camp."

"Oh, Zilong is really careful. He has already thought of something that he hasn't thought of yet." Qin Yi nodded, and then looked at He Gai: "Lieutenant He County, how many troops does the eldest son county still have?"

He Gai said: "Originally Changzi County had 800 troops, and 100 were stationed at the Huangshiya Iron Mine. Early this morning, County Magistrate Qiu transferred another [-] people to the county government. There are four gates, each with a There are garrison troops stationed there, and two more garrison troops are responsible for patrolling the city in rotation. There are [-] mobile troops left in the barracks. However, today our army clashed with Captain Xu County, and some were damaged, and we haven't had time to count them."

Qin Yi nodded secretly in his heart: This He Gai speaks clearly and knows everything within his duties. He is a talent, at least not a mediocrity.

"Well, today's incident was all caused by Qiu Xi's desire to be unfavorable to Qin. Lieutenant He, the eldest son of the county defenders has surrendered to Qin, then you will be Qin's army from now on. In today's battle, For the brothers who were injured or killed, Mr. Qin treats them as equals, and he should not hesitate to pay for them."

When He Gai heard the words, he knelt down on one leg and said excitedly, "Brothers on behalf of He Mou, thank you for your kindness!"

Qin Yi left his seat, stepped forward to help He Gai up with his own hands, and said, "You don't have to do this, Lieutenant He. I'll go to the barracks and visit my brothers!"

…………

Qin Yi left Pei Ji to lead Meng Siqu's men to continue to control the county government. He took Xu Huang and Liao Hua and followed He Gai to the military camp.On the way, they introduced each other to Liao Hua, Xu Huang and He Gai.

Qin Yi also asked about He Gai's situation.This person is a native of Changzi County, and his family is considered a moderate landlord, but he is not a nobleman.Before Qiu Xi proclaimed himself the magistrate of Changzi County, He Gai was the magistrate of Changzi County.After Qiu Xi became the county magistrate, he still appointed He Gai as the county lieutenant.

But He Gai was not Qiu Xi's confidant. The army he could command was actually only five to six hundred people, and he stayed in the barracks for many years.Almost all those responsible for city defense were Qiu Xi's private soldiers, commanded by Cheng Luo, another county lieutenant and Qiu Xi's brother-in-law.

Today, Cheng Luo led a hundred people to ambush in the county government office, and when he attacked the county government office violently, Cheng Luo died in battle.It was also because Qiu Xi and Cheng Luo were both dead that the guards in Zhangzi County obeyed He Gai's order and surrendered to Xu Huang and Zhao Yun.

These things were all told by He Gai himself, as to whether they were true or not, Qin Yi had to find someone else to check.

However, Qin Yi's first impression of He Gai was good. Although he was a surrendered general, he spoke neither humble nor overbearing, like an aboveboard man.Compared with Qiu Rui's villain's pie, it's much better.

The Changzi County military camp is located in the southwest corner. When Qin Yi and others arrived, the soldiers from the Changzi County were all gathered at the training ground.Soldiers from Luxian guarded the surrounding area.

Qin Yi took a rough look at the number of soldiers in Xialu County, and there were about four hundred soldiers.

"Gongming, why are there so few brothers in our Lu County?" Qin Yi asked Xu Huang, he was worried that his side would suffer too many casualties.

Xu Huang said: "There are 200 people staying at the Huangshiya Iron Mine, and more than 100 people are cleaning the battlefield and guarding the city gate."

"Are there many casualties?" Qin Yi asked again.

Xu Huang said: "The battle ended quickly, and the casualties were not too great. Our army lost dozens of people, and the number of lost defenders in Zhangzi County was about a hundred. The exact number has yet to be counted."

Speaking of this, Xu Huang paused, and then said: "Meng Siqu accounted for half of the casualties in our army. They were few in number, and they were the first to fight with the defenders of Zhangzi County. If Xu came later, The Baimeng Siqu brothers that Tianyu arranged to go to the gate of the city might be killed or injured."

Qin Yi heard the words, heaved a long sigh and said: "It's because I didn't think carefully."

Xu Huang shook his head and said, "The communication on the battlefield is broken, and this kind of situation is inevitable."

Qin Yi was also very helpless about this.Communication in this era depends entirely on roar, like their battle plan today, it is entirely based on pre-estimating the time, the cooperation between the city and outside the city, it is difficult to launch at the same time.Today is also considered their luck, everything is going smoothly, even if one party is not going well, it will not be so smooth to control the eldest son county.

Qin Yi didn't see Zhao Yun, presumably Zhao Yun was busy in the military tent at the moment.

"Let's go, I'll go and meet the brothers first. I'll go find Zilong later." Qin Yi waved his hand and led Liao Hua, Xu Huang, and He Gai to the training ground.
