Chapter 57: Between Ups and Downs

Qiu Yi Lema rushed to the guards on the city and shouted: "Summoning Qiu Yi, come to see Zhao Taishou again, and ask which general in the city to help spread the word." Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

Someone at the head of the city secretly poked out of the wall to look at it a few times, and asked: "Is it Qiu Mingyuan, the Zhaoling hero of Pingding Chongyang and Xiangcheng County, who is under the city?" ”

Qiu Yi was stunned, he didn't expect to come back in a few days, and he already had the name of a hero. Qiu Yi arched his hand and smiled: "I dare not take the name of Haojie seriously, it is Zhaoling Qiu Yi Qiu Mingyuan." ”

The man at the head of the city was immediately overjoyed, and stepped forward and asked: "A few days ago, I heard that Qiu Jun led thousands of volunteers to the north to summon the tomb to fight against the Yellow Turban Moth thief Peng Tuo of the Chen State, how did he come back again, I don't know what the battle situation of the Zhaoling is like?" ”

Qiu Yi said with a smile: "Peng Tuo has already given the head, the Yellow Turban Moth thief of Chen Guo has been destroyed, and the siege of Zhaoling has long been resolved." ”

The man was shocked and asked, "Is this true?" It only took seven or eight days to come and go, and then the Yellow Turban of Chen Guo was exterminated? Kill Peng Tuo? ”

Qiu Yi nodded and replied: "Exactly, if you don't believe it, you can send a scout to Zhaoling, Xihua and other places to explore the realm." ”

The man was surprised and shouted: "I believe it, I believe it, I will immediately go to tell Lord Taishou, and ask Qiu Jun to wait for a while." After saying that, he hurried away, and when he got down the city wall, he was too excited, and stepped on the air, and turned several times in a row, and the man didn't care about the pain, and got up and hurried to the county guard's mansion.

The guards at the head of the city couldn't help but be overjoyed, and many people probed to inquire about the battle of Zhaoling. Qiu Yi had no intention of boasting about himself, but Cheng Qi was extremely excited, boasting about the battle of Zhaoling. Of course, Cheng Qi focused on boasting of his heroic and invincible glorious deeds such as leading a hundred horsemen and horses to capture prisoners, probing the enemy's situation, charging the enemy's village, transmitting information, cutting off the enemy's cavalry, charging the enemy's formation, chasing Peng Tuo, and so on.

Qiu Yi listened and wondered, Chen Guopeng's name as a thief did not match the truth, and he had a false name. How did he get into the mouth of Cheng Qi, but he became extremely powerful and invincible. However, the army went through all kinds of hardships before finally exterminating Peng Tuo's thief department.

Cheng Qi just said that he led a hundred horsemen and horses, and bravely and fearlessly rushed straight to more than four hundred yellow turban thieves. The guards at the head of the city let out bursts of exclamations, and Qiu Yi suddenly realized. In fact, the gap between people is not very far, and sometimes, it is just a piece of paper apart. As long as you have the courage to do it, you will find that what is actually regarded as a behemoth in front of you is actually just an ordinary scarecrow erected in the field, which can be pierced as soon as you poke it.

But if you are afraid of his appearance, and are intimidated by his appearance, then he is as unattainable as a mountain, a legendary thing that can never be defeated or surpassed. Qiu Yi saw the true strength of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, so he was not afraid. However, the rest of the people in Runan County couldn't see it clearly, and they were afraid of it like tigers and wolves, and they fled in a hurry. Compared with Qiu Yi, who can easily pacify the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, he is also regarded as a god-like figure.

At this time, a large group of officials from Runan hurriedly rushed to the city and drove away the guards who inquired about the situation one by one. An old man over fifty years old with a thin body stood at the head of the city, and after seeing Qiu Yi, he shouted with great joy: "It is really Qiu Mingyuan who has arrived in Zhaoling." Mingyuan Zhuangshi, the Peng Tuo thief of Chen State, was really exterminated by you? ”

Qiu Yi dismounted and replied respectfully: "Exactly, on May 11, I led the army to break through the siege. After resting in Zhaoling City for half a day, he gathered all the young people in the city to go out of the city to fight with Peng Tuo's thief army. Peng Tuo had no intention of fighting, abandoned the old, weak, sick and disabled, and fled to the southwest with 20,000 thieves. was bitten to death by my brother Qiu Rui and Zhu Mian. Later, I caught up with him on the bank of the Rushui River, and Peng Tuo's thieves were defeated. It's just that Peng Tuo set up several pontoon bridges on Rushui early, and nearly 10,000 thieves successfully crossed the river, and our army couldn't catch up. Fortunately, a part of the Southern Army of the Janissary Guard of Luoyang City came here in a roundabout way, exterminated the thieves who had just escaped, and beheaded Peng Tuo. ”

Zhao Qian patted the head of the city again and again and said with great joy: "Okay, good, Mingyuan is worthy of being the leading brave man in my Runan County, and he can make more than 100,000 thieves of the Yellow Turban Moth leave without a fight." Such majesty, for hundreds of years, Runan County is the only Qiu Mingyuan. ”

The officials at the head of the city nodded in agreement, agreeing with Zhao Qian's words of praise for Qiu Yi. What's more, what kind of reputation is "Qiu Mingyuan, who retired from 100,000 thieves", Qiu Yi is inexplicably wonderful, is that legendary heroic character really himself?

Qiu Yi suddenly realized for a moment that this was the praise and praise among celebrities and gentlemen, and he didn't feel that he had anything outstanding about himself. But it turns out that other sages and celebrities have also been blown out like this. Qiu Yi couldn't help but further understand the virtuous ministers and celebrities he had been familiar with since he was a child, it turned out that they were just ordinary people like himself. It's just that the times create heroes, and they just succeed.

Zhao Qian clapped his hands and called: "Come on, open the city gate to welcome Qiu Mingyuan into the city, and everyone can follow me to the county guard mansion to set up a banquet and wash the dust for Qiu Mingyuan." ”

Qiu Yi was introduced to the county guard mansion by Gong Cao Peng of Runan at the gate of the city, and he was a little flattered for a while. Gong Cao Peng was the first person to be a subordinate official of a county, and his power was second only to those appointed by the court. It is far more advanced than the one seven days ago, and the subordinate Shuzuo who was quoted from when he met Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian sat alone in the seat of the county guard, and his lower left seat was the scribes such as the county prince, Gong Cao, the chief bookkeeper, and the post superintendent, and the lower right seat was the military attachΓ© of the county such as the commander and the military commander. After Qiu Yi entered the mansion, he greeted everyone sitting one by one, and was introduced to the second position of the lower right seat.

Qiu Yi was terrified for a while, how could he sit in the first seat under the captain, so he couldn't give up again and again. However, the people in the house tried their best to persuade each other, saying that Qiu Yi was a great contributor to the rescue of a county in Runan, and this banquet was specially set up for Qiu Yi.

Zhao Qian arched his hand and said: "Seven days ago, Mingyuan came in a hurry, and the old man was a little neglectful of Mingyuan because he was not familiar with him, so please don't take Mingyuan to heart." ”

Qiu Yi bowed his hand and said: "The county guard is serious, Qiu was not famous and unknown at that time, and it is inevitable that the county guard will be vigilant." Besides, the county keeper is an important minister of the court with 2,000 stones, so it is also appropriate to be cautious. ”

Zhao Qian said happily: "Okay, Mingyuan doesn't blame the old man." Otherwise, the people of Runan County would not scold the old man for neglecting the virtuous and virtuous. Ladies and gentlemen, Qiu Mingyuan and us all have the grace of survival and life, how about I wait for Qi to respect Mingyuan for a cup to show gratitude? ”

"Okay." Everyone cheered in unison, and raised their glasses with a smile on their faces. Qiu Yi hurriedly gave in: "How can Qiu be virtuous, dare to be saluted by the public." In fact, the eradication of the yellow turban moth thieves everywhere in Runan is the credit of Gong County, the head of the Zhaoling Tomb, and Qiu is just a pawn of a district, so he will never dare to accept the heavy gifts of the public. ”

Lieutenant Runan smiled: "Qiu Mingyuan wants to bully me." Gong Zhaode is just a scribe, although he is the main general, the military affairs are not dominated by you Qiu Mingyuan. At most, Gong Zhaode only wiped out the thieves of Qisi, Yuanlu, and Fubo counties. And the sea bream thief He Yi who ran rampant in Gepo, the new yang thief Wu Ba, and the Chen Guo Yellow Turban thief Peng Tuo, these 200,000 moth thieves are all your own work, and they have nothing to do with him Gong Zhaode. ”

Qiu Yi hurriedly said: "If there is no Gong County Jun to raise Qiu to be humble and believe in the righteousness and courage of Qiu's life, how can Qiu make such a great achievement?" It's just that the credit is Gong Xianjun's. ”

At the end, he said: "In fact, in the battle to eliminate the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves in Runan, my second brother Qiu Rui, Qiu Jiyu, wisdom and bravery, and my wife and brother Gao Mian, Gao Mian, Gao Yi, are loyal and brave, and they are all worthy of ten thousand people, and they have made great contributions, not inferior to Qiu. Qiu is not as far as them, but Qiu is fortunate to be known by the county guard. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly asked Qiu Rui and Zhu Mian what kind of merits they had, Qiu Yi had the intention to make a name for the two, and he sat on the table and talked freely about the deeds of the two. Especially for Zhu Mian's period of thinking about the city's efforts to drop 10,000 thieves, Qiu Rui held on to more than ten days without food, and after getting out, he immediately made a decision, rushed to chase the enemy for dozens of miles, and finally broke the deeds of Peng Take's thieves on the bank of the Rushui River, which made everyone amazed.

The Lieutenant of Runan lamented: "There are still such wise and brave warriors and good generals in Runan County, and as the commander of the county, the head of the military rank does not know at all, and my captain is really too incompetent." If I had gotten you and the other three earlier, how could there be a thief rebellion in Runan County that spread across half of the county? ”

Qiu Yi hurriedly explained: "Lord Duwei, I have just reached the crown, my second brother and brother-in-law are very young, and there have never been any outstanding deeds before, Lord Duwei does not know that it is normal for me to wait, please don't blame yourself." ”

Only then did Lieutenant Runan laugh heartily and raise a glass to Qiu Yi for a bottle of wine. Even if Qiu Yi no longer likes to drink, in the face of the first person in the martial arts position of Runan County, he did not dare to slack off at all, and drank a full bottle. Zhao Qian covered his beard and looked at the restrained, modest, and polite Qiu Yi with a smile on his face, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and suddenly asked, "Mingyuan, I don't know if you have ever been married?" ”

Qiu Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses, is this too Shou Zhao Qian intended to be a matchmaker for himself? Isn't this family the most important family? I didn't expect that although Zhao Qian's talent was mediocre, he cherished talents so much. It's just that...... It's a pity.

Qiu Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Qiu is the son of the Qiu clan in Zhaoling, the son-in-law of the Zhu family, and he has already been married. However, my second brother Qiu Jiyu and his brother-in-law Zhu Yizhong have never been married. If the county keeper is interested, he might as well help them become a matchmaker. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Zhao Qian was even more shocked and asked, "It turns out that Qiu Mingyuan is actually the son-in-law of Mole Mountain?" ”

Qiu Yi knew that there were so many people who knew about this matter, and he couldn't hide it at all, so he had to bite the bullet. The people in the banquet couldn't help but be silent, and soon the Lieutenant Runan suddenly laughed, threw away the wine bottle, got up and strode towards the outside of the mansion. The rest of the people also laughed haha, and after saying goodbye to Zhao Qian, they waved their arms and sleeves and walked together.
