[Chapter 042] Scaring him 2/4 more
() Baima City has not been repaired for a long time, and now war has broken out. Most of the people in the city have fled to nearby counties. It is rare to see many people going out in the entire city.
As soon as this morning arrived, the originally closed city gate was opened by more than a dozen soldiers.
boom!
The gates suddenly opened on both sides, and the White Horse City Gate burst open.
A troop of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, like a long dragon, stretched throughout the streets of Baima City. Qu Yi was dressed in black casual clothes, holding a spear in his hand, reining in his horse at the front.
"Walk!"
After whispering something, Qu Yi slowly drove his war horse and headed out of the city.
Outside the military camp on the other side, Zhao Yun, who was dressed in white casual clothes and also holding a spear in his hand, lightly beat his white war horse and slowly rushed towards Qu Yi with dozens of personal guards.
After a while, Qu Yi and Zhao Yun were less than a hundred steps away from each other. Qu Yi took the lead and solemnly raised his hand towards Zhao Yun:
"General Zhao Yun!"
"I will work together under the lord's tent in the future, General Qu Yi, there is no need to be so polite!" Zhao Yun's eyes flashed with joy, he smiled calmly, hugged the spear and returned the salute, looking gentle and elegant.
If Qu Yi hadn't known that the young general in front of him was much better than him in martial arts, he might have thought that Zhao Yun was a Confucian general!
However, precisely because he knew the abilities of the young general in front of him, Qu Yi did not dare to appear too presumptuous. He nodded with a smile, reined in the horse's head slightly, turned slightly to the side, pointed at the men and horses behind him and said with a smile:
"General Zilong, this is the White Horse garrison of 27,000 troops. Please accept it!"
Qu Yi knows the rules. As a surrendered general, he must hand over his original troops. Otherwise, forming a gang is the most fearful thing for the superior!
Even if Qu Yi knew that Marquis Wu Zhao was not here, he would never dare to leave more than 20,000 troops behind! Otherwise, if word spread to Marquis Wu Zhao, there is no guarantee that he would not have other thoughts.
"Let's not mention this matter for now!" Zhao Yun heard this and nodded noncommittally. He did not mention the matter of soldiers and horses, but said with a gesture: "I will prepare a small amount of wine in the camp, and I would like to ask the general to honor it!"
"Don't dare to say goodbye!" When Qu Yi heard this, his mind moved, and he clasped his fists in flattery. After all, he is now a subordinated general, and he has no official or position under Wu Zhaohou. Zhao Yun's move is clearly to appease him!
This move also relieved Qu Yi, who had been worried that Zhao Yun would be difficult to get along with.
...
At noon, we will be inside the camp.
Because there were so many people, the banquet had already spread from inside the camp to outside the camp.
Zhao Yun sat in the first place, and Xun You and Qu Yi, one on the left and one on the right, sat one position behind Zhao Yun on the side.
The positions of other generals seemed much more casual.
There were soldiers constantly carrying plates of hot and fragrant dishes on various tables, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.
Qu Yi held a half-full bronze cup and saluted Zhao Yun. His eyes were full of joy, and he laughed and said: "Qu Yi deeply admires the general's martial arts. Today I can sit at the same table and drink with the general.
It’s truly a great joy in life!”
"General, you're welcome!" Zhao Yun was not good at words, so he just smiled and picked up the wine glass and returned the drink.
On the other side, Xun You seemed to be quite talkative, his fox eyes kept turning, stroking his short stubble and smiling: "With the general's ability, as long as this battle is over, he will be another great general under the lord's command!
Xun You has made great achievements and is willing to give it to the general. I wonder if the general wants it?"
"Huh?" Qu Yi, who was drinking, suddenly raised his eyebrows, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, looked at Xun You, and said sincerely, "General Gongda, please give me some advice!"
Even though he had never seen Xun You on the battlefield, how could Qu Yi not recognize him?
Although he has no outstanding achievements yet, he is relied upon by Wu Zhaohou. It is said that Wu Zhaohou once commented on Xun You: "Gongda is a very human being. I can plan things with him, so why should the world worry!"
How could Qu Yi not be happy that such a person was willing to offer him a great achievement?
As for using it? Qu Yi had never thought about it. Now he was also half a general under Wu Zhaohou. Internal fighting was strictly prohibited under Wu Zhaohou. This was a matter known to the world, so Qu Yi was not worried about being used by Xun You at all.
Seeing Qu Yi's impatient look, Xun You thought for a moment, tapped his fingers on the table, and asked in a deep voice: "I don't know, General Qu Yi, do you know our army's next move?"
When Qu Yi heard this, he was slightly startled, then shook his head: "Of course I don't know!"
After a pause, he tentatively guessed: "But go to Zhao State, pass Julu, go straight to Xindu, and meet Wu Zhaohou to hunt in Xindu?"
He had just surrendered to Marquis Wu Zhao and entered Zhao Yun's tent today. How could he know Zhao Yun's army's next move? If he had known, he would not have surrendered. He would have just pulled the flag and done it alone!
Hearing this, Xun You shook his head without any surprise. He stood up and walked to Qu Yi's side. He leaned over and whispered: "To be honest, general, our army is preparing to scare someone in the next step!"
"Gongsun Zan?" Qu Yi blurted out and whispered.
"The general is really an extraordinary person!"
Outside Xindu.”
Although Xun You did not mention Gongsun Zan, Qu Yi was not an ordinary general. As a famous general, he was very smart. However, he was still full of doubts and raised his eyebrows and said:
"Wu Zhaohou wants to force Gongsun Zan into Xindu City? But what is the purpose of this move? Isn't it easier to break it up and defeat it?"
Since ancient times, everyone knows that when the enemy outnumbers one's own, but one's own side is more powerful than the enemy, the most appropriate way is to divide and attack them!
However, Wu Zhaohou did the opposite. Not only did he attack them without distinction, but he also took the initiative to drive the enemies together, which really puzzled Qu Yi.
"General, it's better not to know about this for the time being!" Xun You smiled and sat back in his seat.
Qu Yi was secretly awestruck in his heart, and thought to himself that he had asked too much. With a smile on his face, he raised his glass and said, "What you said is true. In this case, I will leave this matter to my general."
How?"
Just as Xun You said, he doesn't need to know too much about this matter! He only needs to do as Xun You said and drive Gongsun Zan to Xindu, which will be a great achievement!
"Then there is General Lao Quyi!"
Xun You and Zhao Yun looked at each other, smiled at each other, and nodded towards Qu Yi.
"We are both working for the lord, why bother talking about it?" Qu Yi smiled, returned a salute to the two of them, then stood up, looked around at the generals under his command, and said in a deep voice:
"Today, you are the generals under the command of Marquis Wu Zhao. You can't even say that you are my generals. From now on, you will all serve Marquis Wu Zhao!"
"We all serve Marquis Wu Zhao!" All the former generals of the Quyi Army looked at each other for a long time, then they all picked up their wine glasses, stood up and said loudly.
Qu Yi said this, apparently pushing away his relationship with these generals, but in fact, could one sentence really make those generals really not miss Qu Yi, their old master?
Zhao Yun and others also knew what Qu Yi was thinking, but they didn't reveal it.
A banquet can be regarded as a feast for the guests and the host
...
After the banquet was over, Qu Yi wandered back to Baima City. However, he no longer lived in the county magistrate's mansion, but in a hotel!
Opening the door, he lay down on the bed, stretched out his hands to rub his painful temples, looked at the roof, showed a smile, and murmured:
"Without further delay, we will lead the troops directly to Zhongshan tomorrow! When we get to Zhongshan, fight Gongsun Zan, and join forces with Zhang Liao and others to scare Gongsun Zan to Xindu. This will be a great achievement. After that, we will make several more Yun Ye's subordinates
The generals will be enough to gain a foothold!"
As for whether he can scare Gongsun Zan away from Xindu, Qu Yi has no worries at all!
In his opinion, although Gongsun Zan is known as the White Horse General and has been in Mobei for more than ten years, he is stronger than the cavalry. But what he, Qu Yi, is best at dealing with is the cavalry! Therefore, towards Gongsun Zan, Qu Yi has no trace.
