One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 439 Cao Cao asks for help
Time has entered July, and on this day, Qin Yi discussed with Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia about establishing an army station at the governor's mansion.

With the successful experience of Mintun, Qin Yi intends to establish Juntun as well.He wanted to set up a military area this year to reclaim the wasteland so that crops could be planted in the spring of next year.

At the same time, he also wanted to increase the area of ​​the Mintun and relocate some Huns into the customs.As for how much he can move inland, Qin Yi's idea is about [-].But whether this number can really be achieved depends on whether the Huns outside the pass are willing to enter the pass.He wanted to mobilize some small tribes to move in as a whole.These small tribes were originally in the cracks of the big tribes, and their lives were not easy. However, they were more willing to move into the pass.

The three of them were discussing when Liao Hua suddenly entered the room. "My lord, Yanzhou sent an envoy to Jinyang to ask to see my lord."

"Yanzhou? Someone from Cao Mengde?" Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, "Why did he think of sending someone to Jinyang?"

Liao Hua said: "According to those who came, tens of thousands of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army attacked Yanzhou, and Cao Shijun came to ask for help from the lord."

"Asking for help?" Qin Yi was even more surprised and said hurriedly, "Let the envoy come to see me quickly."

"promise!"

Not long after Liao Hua went out, he brought a handsome man inside.This person is eight feet long, with a face like a crown jade, with three long beards, and an extraordinary bearing.

"Cheng Yu, magistrate of Shouzhang County, pays homage to the envoy of Qin." The man bowed his hands to Qin Yi.

Cheng Yu?It turned out to be him!
Qin Yi was shocked when he heard the person announcing his name.He is another celebrity, a famous adviser under Cao Cao.Is he a county magistrate now?
"Cheng County Magistrate does not need to be polite, please sit down!" Qin Yi cupped his hands and returned the salute, signaling Cheng Yu to take a seat after Guo Jia.

"Thank you, envoy, for giving me a seat!" Cheng Yu saluted again before walking to Guo Jia and taking a seat.

"Magistrate Cheng is here, what is the purpose?" Qin Yi asked.

Cheng Yu took out a letter from his big sleeve, got up and walked in front of Qin Yi, handed over the letter with both hands and said, "My lord has a letter for the envoy. After reading the letter, the envoy will naturally know what Cheng is here for."

Qin Yi took the letter and opened it to read.The content of Cao Cao's letter was the same as Liao Hua's, which was to ask Qin Yi for help.

Cao Cao said in the letter that the Yellow Turban Army from Qingzhou attacked Yanzhou, and his troops were insufficient. He hoped that Qin Yi could send about [-] troops to Yanzhou to support him.He also said that Yuan Shao had sent his general Zhang Jai to lead five thousand troops to attack the invading Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army from the flank.

After Qin Yi read the letter, he said to Cheng Yu: "Mr. Cheng, I already know what Meng Degong means. Meng Degong and I are both friends and colleagues. If there is a war in Yanzhou, Qin Yi should send troops to support it. But before sending troops The matter is so important that Qin Yi cannot make a decision at the moment. Please ask County Magistrate Cheng to rest in his mansion for the time being, and then he will reply to you after Qin has discussed it with his officials."

Cheng Yu stood up, cupped his hands and said: "If you are willing to send troops, Cheng's mission will be half completed. I hope you will make a decision as soon as possible. Cheng will wait for good news."

Qin Yi nodded, and asked Liao Hua to take Cheng Yu to the guest room to rest.

When Cheng Yu left, Qin Yi smiled bitterly at Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia and said, "Cao Mengde is here to collect debt from me. Last year, he sent Cao Ren to lead 3000 people to support us. Today, he sent people to collect debt."

Xi Zhicai smiled, and said: "We can definitely mobilize [-] troops now, and it would be nice to return Cao Cao's favor as soon as possible."

Guo Jia also said: "In my opinion, I might as well send the Huns to hire troops to go to Yanzhou. Let them fight a battle and make some military achievements, which can also increase their sense of belonging."

Qin Yi's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. However, we can't send all the Huns. If they have different intentions, they will be in trouble."

Xi Zhicai said: "Then send a thousand troops from Shangdang County, plus a thousand Hun cavalry, and let Xu Huang lead them to Yanzhou to support Cao Cao. Gongming failed to follow the lord to Hebei last year, and has been complaining about the lord. This time, Just give him this chance."

"Well, Zhicai's idea is good!" Qin Yi nodded, "It's a shorter distance to transfer troops from Shangdang County."

Guo Jia said: "My lord, it's no problem for us to send troops, but there is one thing that we have to discuss with Cao Cao. They will supply the food and grass. We will only bring enough to eat on the road."

"Hahaha, Fengxiao, you are really a subtle ghost, you have already calculated everything!" Qin Yi laughed.

With a few words, the three of them made a plan to send troops.This also made Qin Yi feel emotional. At this time last year, he still needed to carefully calculate the mobilization of troops. They were all based on a hundred people and calculated carefully.But now, with the mobilization of 3000 troops, he didn't even frown, and made the decision lightly.

The three of them discussed some more specific details, and then called Cheng Yu again and informed Cheng Yu of their decision.

Cheng Yu didn't expect Qin Yi to make a plan for dispatching troops in less than half an hour, and he was so shocked that he kept feeling Qin Yi's righteousness.

Cheng Yu also wholeheartedly agreed to Qin Yi's request that Yanzhou supply the reinforcements with food and grass.

………………

Cheng Yu only stayed in Jinyang City for one night, and returned to Yanzhou the next day with Qin Yi's reply letter to Cao Cao.

Four days later, Qin Yi personally led [-] Xiongnu soldiers, and Liao Hua led [-] personal guards to leave Jinyang City and go south. In addition, Qin Yi also persuaded Li Ru to go to Yanzhou with the army to advise Xu Huang.

Since Li Ru came to Jinyang with Qin Yi, he spent his own money to buy a small courtyard to live with his family.Qin Yi asked him to be an official several times, but he refused.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of sending troops to Yanzhou, Qin Yi finally persuaded Li Ru to come out to help Xu Huang.However, Li Ru also made a request, he only counsels military affairs, but does not hold specific positions.Qin Yi agreed wholeheartedly.

Having said that, in Qin Yi's view, it is impossible for Li Ru to live in seclusion forever.Since he agreed to accompany Xu Huang to Yanzhou, it meant that he still wanted to be an official.As long as this hole is opened, Qin Yi will be able to ask him to be an official sooner or later.

This time, Qin Yi went to Zhangzi County to preside over the opening ceremony of Shangdang Academy.In the first half of the year, the Academy has recruited more than a dozen teachers and hundreds of students.Qin Yi decided that Shangdang Academy would officially start on the second day of August.

After marching for several days, Qin Yi led his army to Zhangzi County.

Xu Huang had already received Qin Yi's letter, mobilized troops and food, and was ready to set off.

The day after Qin Yi arrived in Changzi County, Xu Huang and Zhou Cang led a thousand Han troops and two thousand Xiongnu soldiers to leave Changzi County and rush to Yanzhou.

After seeing off Xu Huang, Qin Yi, accompanied by Shangdang County's prefect Qiang, went to the academy to inspect the preparations for the start of school.

Accompanied by Qin Yi and Wei Ji, Cai Yong walked around the academy.Afterwards, the three of them returned to Cai Yong's public house, and Cai Yong took out the roster of the academy's faculty and staff and handed it to Qin Yi for viewing.
