One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 153

Chapter 153

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao knelt down in front of Qin Yi, and called Qin Yi their lords.

Qin Yi was overjoyed: Finally someone called him lord, it's not easy.Just as they were about to step forward to help Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, an even louder voice followed.

"The villain pays homage to the lord!" On the hillside and on the road, all the bandits saw Qin Yi kneeling and shouted loudly.Their voices are not uniform, and just like that, they are like ocean waves, one tide after another.

Standing in the center of the sound waves, Qin Yi was suddenly very excited, and his heart burst into pride: I, Qin, have a group of younger brothers following me in this troubled world.Taking down the bandits from Wo Niu Mountain... No, these hundreds of soldiers and horses are the first step I will take in this troubled world.

"Brothers, please get up quickly!" Qin Yi looked around and said vigorously, "I, Qin Yi, swear here that from now on, brothers will not let me down, and I will not treat them lightly. If you don’t eat rice, you will never let your brothers drink gruel.”

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhou Cang took the lead in shouting.

"Thank you, Lord!" All the bandits shouted in unison.

Qin Yi took a few steps forward, supported Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao with both hands, and said with a big smile, "Brothers, we will be a family from now on. Come with me, and I will introduce you."

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao followed Qin Yi to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yu and Xu Huang, and introduced them.Qin Yi called Lu Jun over again and introduced Zhou Cang and Xu Huang to each other.

Only then did Qin Yi know about the conversation between the two parties. Zhou Cang's surname was Yuan Fu, and he was from Kansai.Pei Yuanshao is from Henan and has no official name.

Most of the low-level civilians in this era have names but no characters. Since Zhou Cang has characters, and judging from his previous speech performance, he can still read, which shows that his background is not humble, at least from a family of upper-middle-class civilians.

As for Pei Yuanshao, since Wang Mang returned to the system, no matter the gentry or the common people, they are all named with a single character. Those who use two characters are either untouchables or criminals, and they are forced to change their names.

Probably out of inferiority complex, when Pei Yuanshao introduced himself to everyone, when he mentioned the word "no expression", his expression was rather awkward.

"Yuan Shao, since you have worshiped me as your master, how about I give you a nickname?" Qin Yi saw the look on Pei Yuan Shao's face and had an idea.

Pei Yuanshao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said with bright eyes, "That's great!"

Zhou Cang was also happy for Pei Yuanshao and said: "We used to be bandits, and we were all just mediocre people. It doesn't matter what your name is, whether you have a cousin or not. But since you have followed the master, your second brother will also be an official in the future. If you don't have a nickname, , I’m afraid I’ll be laughed at. My lord, since you intend to give your second brother a cousin, why not change his name to a single character as well.”

When Pei Yuanshao heard Zhou Cang's words, he looked at Qin Yi full of hope.

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he realized that Pei Yuanshao had a two-letter name. No matter who knew his name, he would know that he came from a lowly background or had committed a crime. If he changed his name to a one-letter name, he would be Can hide it.

"Okay, since that's the case, your name should be Yuan Shao. I'll change your name for you." Qin Yi nodded and thoughtfully said: "The word Shao means successive succession. Why don't I I named you 'Ji', from now on you will be called Pei Ji, with the character Yuan Shao."

"Thank you lord for changing my name. My lord's kindness is like a new parent to Pei Ji. I, Pei Ji, swear here that I will loyally follow my lord from now on. Whatever my lord asks Pei Ji to do, Pei Ji will do it without any hesitation. My lord is alive. , Pei Ji will live, if the lord dies, Pei Ji must die first!"

Pei Yuanshao was so excited that he had tears in his eyes and knelt down in front of Qin Yi.

Qin Yi didn't expect that he just changed his name for Pei Yuanshao and got Pei Yuanshao's loyalty.After thinking about it carefully, he finally understood.

People in this era attach great importance to birth, and Pei Yuanshao's name is a sign of his humble origins. His parents have no right to change his name, but Qin Yi, as Pei Yuanshao's lord and an official of the court, has the right to change Pei Yuanshao's name of.

Changing the two-character name to a single-character name is equivalent to changing Pei Yuanshao's social status.From now on, not only Pei Yuanshao himself, but also his descendants will be able to stand up and be a man.For Pei Yuanshao, this was tantamount to reincarnation.It's no wonder that Pei Yuanshao is so grateful to Qin Yi.

"Like my second brother, I, Zhou Cang, am loyal to my lord." Zhou Cang also knelt down with Pei Yuanshao and said to Qin Yi.

"Yuan Fu, Yuan Shao, don't do this. From now on, we will be brothers who share weal and woe. Please get up!" Qin Yi stepped forward and helped Zhou Cang and Pei Ji.

Qin Yi immediately realized that these two people were really destined to be called cousins. Their cousins ​​sounded like brothers.

"My lord, how about going to the cottage with me?" Zhou Cang proposed to Qin Yi after getting up.

"Okay! It's noon, I'll go to Yuanfu's cottage for dinner." Qin Yi nodded happily.

"Uh, my lord, there is no food in the village. The brothers have eaten wild vegetables for several days, but they can't entertain the lord." Zhou Cang blushed and said in shame.

"Hahaha, Yuan Fu, you are already my subordinate of Qin Yi, so naturally I will offer food and grass." Qin Yi laughed.

…………

After some twists and turns, the bandit and Qin Yi's army became a family.Zhou Cang and Pei Ji led the bandits and led the officers and soldiers towards the stronghold.

The mountain road was winding and bumpy, and we traveled five or six miles before entering the village.

Although the cottages of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were large, they were extremely shabby.The houses are all made of stone, wood, and thatch, and are very low.

Even the cooker in the kitchen has only one iron pot with a small half missing.The rest are clay pots fired with clay.

Qin Yi ordered to bury the pot and make food, and he himself took Zhao Yun, Zhao Yu and Xu Huang, followed by Zhou Cang and Pei Ji to "visit" in the village.

"Yuan Fu, Yuan Shao, it seems that your life is not easy!" Qin Yi said with emotion when he saw the shabby condition in the village.

Zhou Cang said: "Nowadays, in this world, the people are already in dire straits. We will be content if we can get together and barely starve to death."

"Hmph, the troubles of the world are not caused by the Yellow Turban Bandits." Xu Huang said indignantly.

Qin Yi thought that Zhou Cang and Pei Ji would argue with Xu Huang after hearing Xu Huang's words.I don't want him to observe Zhou Cang's and Pei Ji's expressions when he observes his words and expressions, and there is no reaction.

Puzzled, Qin Yi tentatively asked, "Yuan Fu, Yuan Shao, how did you join the Yellow Turban Army?"

"Oh, it's a long story." Zhou Cang sighed before saying anything.Then he opened up his chatterbox and recounted past events.

It turned out that Zhou Cang's father was a small landowner. Although he was not a powerful man, he lived a decent life.When Zhou Cang was 15 years old, his father passed away. His mother couldn't bear the blow, fell ill, and soon passed away.Just in this year, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. Zhou Cang's hometown was plundered by the Yellow Turban Army. The villagers were hijacked by the Yellow Turban Army and forced to become thieves.

Zhou Cang also joined the Yellow Turban Army at this time.Later, because he practiced martial arts since he was a child, and fought bravely with the officers and soldiers, he was named the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army.

Pei Ji was originally a slave of a powerful family. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, that powerful was killed by the Yellow Turban and his family property was plundered.Pei Ji and other domestic slaves were also forced by the Yellow Turban Army to join the rebel army.

Later, Pei Ji became Zhou Cang's subordinate.He was about the same age as Zhou Cang, and he liked Zhou Cang's temper very much, so Zhou Cang became sworn brothers with him.Later, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed by the imperial court, and Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao fled to Wo Niu Mountain with their troops, and they became bandits from then on.

"My lord, our brothers in Woniushan were all forced to join by the Yellow Turban Army. Our family property was also completely destroyed by the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, we have no feelings for the Yellow Turban Army." Finally, Zhou Cang said.

After listening to Zhou Cang's narration, Qin Yi remained silent for a long time.Regarding some things about the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he had carefully read historical materials before.

The reason why the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in a short period of time was not because Zhang Jiao really had so many followers.It was the Yellow Turban Army who forced Liang to become a thief.

The Yellow Turban Army plundered the people wantonly, destroyed the property of the good people, and then forced the people to join them, and continued to plunder more people.The scale of the Yellow Turban Army is also growing like a snowball.

Those people who were forced to join the Yellow Turban Army were originally simple and kind people.But their family property was destroyed, they had no food and clothing, and after they became the Yellow Turban Army, the ugly side of human nature was exposed.For the sake of stuttering, and because of their own bad luck and the dark psychology of not wanting to see the good of others, they turned into wild beasts to kill, rob, and cause chaos.

Troubled times have broken all social order and wiped out people's conscience and morality.

"Yuan Fu, Yuan Shao, since you have become officers and soldiers, you must strictly abide by the commandments in the army from now on, and you must not act like bandits again."

After contemplating heavily, Qin Yi solemnly told Zhou Cang and Pei Ji.

Zhou Cang said: "My lord, don't worry, my second brother and I will definitely restrain the brothers and strictly abide by the military regulations."

"My lord, I don't know what official positions you plan to assign to me and elder brother?" Pei Ji asked with a smile.

"Haha, you are impatient." Qin Yi laughed.

Pei Ji scratched his head and said, "Since I've become an officer, I'm sure I'm concerned about finding an officer."

After thinking about it, Qin Yi said: "Now I am just a county magistrate, but I can't appoint you two to high positions. Why don't everyone in Woniu Mountain make up a song, and Yuan Fu will be appointed as military marquis, and Yuan Shao will be appointed as False military marquis. Let the village chiefs below be recommended by you two."

"Fake Marquis? Why is it fake?" Pei Ji asked in a daze.

"Haha, the fake Junhou is not a fake, but the Junhou's deputy." Qin Yi was amused by Pei Ji's question.

"Oh, it turns out that I was asked to be the deputy of the elder brother. It's very suitable, very suitable." Pei Yuanshao suddenly realized.

Qin Yi said again: "Yuan Fu, I named your song Crouching Niu Song."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Huang shook his head and said, "Tianyu, the word 'lying cow' is not good. How do you fight when a cow is lying down?"

Qin Yi was startled, then nodded and said, "That's true. So what do you suggest Gongming?"

Xu Huang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's not my specialty to choose a name, Tianyu should make up his own mind."

Zhao Yun rolled his eyes, came over and said, "How about we call it Meng Siqu?"

"Four? Which word?" Qin Yi was dumbfounded.

Xu Huang thought about it for a while, then his eyes lit up and said: "Zilong chose this name well. The one that looks like a cow is also a strange beast with a unicorn on its nose!"

"Oh, it turns out to be a rhinoceros!" Qin Yi suddenly realized, "That's right, that's the name. Singing loudly!"
