One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 264

After Pei Ji communicated with the defenders of Zhan County, he immediately turned back to the barracks and reported to Qin Yi.

At that time, Qin Yi was talking with Xu Huang in the tent of the Chinese army.

"Second brother, I really didn't expect that the horseshoes were so effective. The road to Suohu Valley was rugged and full of gravel. You charged through on horseback, but the horseshoes were not damaged at all." Xu Huang said in admiration.

Qin Yi smiled: "Brother, when I asked the craftsmen to put shoes on the horses, didn't you still think that this was ridiculous?"

"Well, you can't blame me for not understanding. Since ancient times, only humans have worn shoes, and horses have never been given shoes." Xu Huang said awkwardly.

Qin Yi shook his head: "Brother, we can't always look at problems with old eyes. Only by weeding out the old and bringing forth the new can we make progress."

Xu Huang nodded and added, "I really can't understand why no one has thought of shoeing horses before. Horseshoes are so simple."

"Hehe, this is because people's thinking is limited." Qin Yi said, "Actually, many new inventions and creations can be seen by others at a glance after they are made, and the technical content is worthless. But no one makes this thing. Before you come out, you can’t even think about it. To put it bluntly, inventions and creations are often a layer of window paper.”

"Haha, the second brother told the truth. The window paper of the horseshoe, I let you pierce it."

"No, no, in fact, the first person to make horseshoes was my mentor." Qin Yi denied it.

When Xu Huang heard it, he immediately sighed: "Oh, the master of the second brother is really a master, but unfortunately he has passed away, but there is no chance to meet him."

Just then, Pei Ji came back.

"Lord, Magistrate Du County said he would come to the military camp later." Pei Ji reported to Qin Yi.

When Qin Yi heard this, he said to Xu Huang: "Brother, Magistrate Du is coming, we can't be rude. Let's go to the camp gate to greet him."

"it is good!"

The three of them immediately left the central military tent and went to the camp gate to wait.At this time, Qin Yi's soldiers and horses were still busy in the Black Mountain Army camp.The prisoners of the Montenegrin Army were gathered in an empty field for custody, while the remaining soldiers were counting the baggage, grain, grass and other items left behind.

Qin Yi, Xu Huang, and Pei Ji arrived at the gate. They didn't wait long before they saw a team of nearly a hundred people coming from Zhan County.

As the team approached, Qin Yi and others rushed to greet them.

"Nai Zhan County Magistrate Du Pu, thank you for your support!" The leader stepped forward and bowed deeply to Qin Yi, Xu Huang, and Pei Ji.

The three bowed their hands in return, and Qin Yi said: "This is Captain Yingyang, the eldest son of the county magistrate, Qin Yi. I hope Brother Du is not to blame for the late arrival of Qin's rescue."

Du Pu hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, Lieutenant Qin? If there is no noble army to help, Zhan County will fall into the hands of thieves sooner or later. I am afraid that Du will also die with Zhan County. Du is grateful for the kindness of your army's help." runny."

"Haha, Brother Du, you are being polite. You and I are neighbors, how could Qin just sit back and ignore the crisis in Zhan County?"

Later, Du Pu introduced Qin Yi to the officials from Zhan County who had followed him here.Qin Yi also introduced Xu Huang and Pei Ji to Zhan County officials.

Then, Qin Yi invited Du Pu and others to enter the camp to talk.Du Pu ordered the guards who followed him to stay outside the camp, and only brought a few officials with him, and entered the camp with Qin Yi and others.

After entering the Chinese military tent, the guests and hosts took their seats.Qin Yixian asked Du Pu about Yu Du's invasion of Zhan County.

Du Pu said: "Since the Black Mountain Army attacked Taiyuan County, a certain person has sent people to the border to closely monitor the situation in Taiyuan County. The Black Mountain Army has never entered Zhan County. Later, for some reason, they suddenly withdrew their troops. Several units of the Black Mountain Army left Zhan County What passed in the north was just a hasty march and did not invade Zhan County.

"That Yu Du was the last army to retreat. At first, a certain person thought that Yu Du would not invade Zhan County, but he suddenly led troops into Zhan County. After looting in the north of our county for a while, he led another The soldiers besieged the county town, saying they were borrowing food from someone."

When Qin Yi heard this, he interjected, "Could it be that Brother Du didn't borrow money from him?"

Du Pu sighed and said, "If the amount of grain he borrowed is not large, I will accept it. I can send him away. But the amount of grain he borrowed is too much, and I can't afford so much grain, so I refuse him." Then, he led his troops to attack the city. In desperation, he sent people to break through at night and asked for help from Lu County and Nie County."

Qin Yi nodded and said: "When the people sent by brother Du arrived in Lu County, a certain person happened to be in Lu County. When he learned that Zhan County was attacked by the Black Mountain Army, he was very anxious, so he immediately dispatched soldiers and horses to come to help."

"Thanks to Qin Xiandi's generous help!" Du Pu said with emotion, "I have never met Qin Xiandi, but Qin Xiandi is so righteous. I can't express my gratitude to Qin Xiandi!"

After finishing the polite words, he asked Qin Yi again: "But who sent a letter from X to Lu County?"

Qin Yi said: "It's Brother Du's nephew Du Ji. When he arrived in Lu County, he was covered in wounds, and seven arrows had been stuck in his back. Nephew Ling is really a loyal person!"

"Is Ji'er... is his life in danger?" Du Pu immediately asked with a worried look on his face.

Qin Yi said: "Nephew Ling passed out as soon as he arrived at the gate of the county government. Fortunately, the doctors in the county government tried their best to rescue him and pulled him back from the gate of hell. Now, he is recovering from injuries in Lu County."

"That's good, that's good." Du Pu let out a sigh of relief and asked Qin Yi: "Is Ji'er the only one going to Lu County?"

"According to Ling Nephew, Brother Du sent 100 people to break out, but only Ling Nephew succeeded. The others...all died in the battle."

"Alas, they are all brave men from Zhan County!" Du Pu sighed.

Liang Kang interjected: "So, Nie County has not received a letter of help from my county lord?"

Xu Huang said: "It must be so."

Liang Kang asked again: "Then how did your army defeat the Montenegro army with only a thousand soldiers and horses?"

Not only Liang Kang was curious about this question, but other officials in Zhan County were also very curious.

Qin Yi then told how he defeated the Black Mountain Army.Of course, he deliberately concealed the matter of the horseshoe.

"Yu Du was shot to death by Brother Qin Xian!?" After hearing Qin Yi's story, Du Pu was overjoyed.

"It was just a fluke. It was dark at that time. Qin just shot an arrow based on his feeling, but he didn't want to but happened to hit Yu Po. If it weren't for that, it wouldn't be so easy to subdue Yu Po's followers."

"Colonel Qin is a true god!" Liang Kang praised.

Qin Yi smiled and waved his hand.

Du Pu said again: "Brother Qin Xian, in fact, there is still a part of the Black Mountain Army that has escaped."

"Is this happening?" Qin Yi frowned.

Du Pu said: "The troops were left behind to guard the military camp. There were about 500 people. They evacuated in a hurry before you arrived."

When Xu Huang heard this, he immediately said: "No, since there is a fish that slipped through the net, they will definitely report it to other leaders of the Black Mountain Army. There is no guarantee that the Black Mountain Army will not come to Zhan County again under the guise of revenge for Yu Du!"
