The so-called gourd valley is a gourd-shaped canyon, the valley body is wide, the valley mouth is narrow, only one person and one horse can be allowed to pass through, from here out of the valley mouth, it is the boundary of the West Qin, through the gourd valley to the capital of the West Qin Qin, it is less than 100 miles of travel than taking the ordinary official road, but the valley mouth is too narrow, and the Wei army has been guarding here, and the army will basically not consider passing from here.

When the soldiers guarding the valley saw the cavalry led by Xie Ronghua, they still couldn't believe their eyes, and after he looked at the token, he finally trembled and saluted: "See His Royal Highness the King of Qin." ”
Xie Ronghua nodded and said, "You prepare some water for us, we have to pass through here." ”
The soldiers took the order and left in a hurry, Xie Ronghua turned back to the team behind him and said, the valley mouth is narrow, everyone put the useless equipment on their bodies first, to ensure that their horses can pass, Ben Shuai took the first step, we will meet twenty miles away from Qincheng, and when the water comes, you will feed the horses first and then go over, after the gourd valley, we will not have time to rest. ”
"Yes." As soon as the elite rider behind him finished answering, he saw the blazing flames shouting, and sped away in the night with the faint light of the early moon.
The blazing flames galloped through the night, and soon passed through the valley, and the mane on the horse's back was whisking at hand, and the fur was tickling, making people feel that the wind seemed to be in such a silk shape. After running for so long, until now, it still hasn't sweated, and it is really a good horse like no other. In the darkness, the mountains, rivers, woods and stones all hissed with a faint light, which carried the coldness of the autumn wind. But Xie Ronghua did not feel lonely, although all his cavalry companions were left behind by him, he knew that they would soon catch up, this was the team he carefully selected, and it was also the sharpest sword in his hand. He chose to go first, but it was just to arrive at Qin City one step earlier and survey the terrain so that they could make their next move.
Xie Ronghua galloped non-stop all night. By dawn the next day, when he came to the bank of the Jingshui River, he immediately saw the dim and mottled walls of Qincheng. He stopped by the cool and turquoise river, the autumn wind swept in with the moisture, and it was calm outside Qincheng, and everyone probably didn't know that the danger was approaching them little by little.
Blazing snorted softly. Xie Ronghua smiled slightly, turned over and dismounted, patted him on the back and said, "Hurry up and eat, the aquatic plants here are the favorite of the horses." ”
He looked around, and sighed in his heart, Xiqin is really a good place to raise horses, looking at the outline of Qincheng in the distance, his heart is bound to win, Xiqin, he must be in the bag.
After waiting for about half an hour, more than 20 horsemen came up. Xie Ronghua took these more than 20 horses across Jingshui, splashed pieces of flying beads and broken jade, and sprinted directly to the foot of Qin City. When the Western Qin army in the city saw their attire, they called out to their companions in panic, and soon the south gate hung down with a loud bang, and hurriedly went to inform Zhang Shanren.
Zhang Shanren, the emperor of Western Qin, who was still asleep, was woken up from his sleep and said unhappily: "It's not yet the time of the early dynasty, what are you arguing about?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's not good, the Wei army has attacked under the gate of Qincheng." The guards who had come to deliver the news wailed.
Zhang Shanren woke up with a stirring spirit and said in a trembling voice: "What did you say, you say it again?" ”
The guard had to repeat: "The Wei army has attacked the gate of Qincheng. As soon as the words fell, he was kicked away by Zhang Shanren, and he roared angrily while dressing: "Isn't the Wei army in Gao Yong City? Why did you suddenly arrive in Qincheng, what about Zong Zhengming? ”
As soon as the minister who hurried to hear the news entered the door, he heard his question, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, we have not received any news from General Zongzheng at present. ”
Zhang Shanren got dressed and said in an unkind tone: "The Wei army has hit the door of the house, but he has no news, I think he wants to rebel." After speaking, the minister could not answer, and hurriedly walked out of his dormitory.
When Zhang Shanren stepped on the city wall, he saw a group of people outside the city gathered at the gate of the city, Xie Ronghua's whole body was dazzling silver, especially eye-catching, he slowly drove forward, smiled and said to Zhang Shanren: "Zhang Shanren, we meet again." ”
Xie Ronghua's smile made Zhang Shanren a little dazed, he remembered their previous fight, although the conflict was not big, but he also smiled at himself like this, and then pit himself fiercely, letting himself run away.
Zhang Shanren froze and said sharply: "Xie Ronghua, you just want to capture my country with such a few people, you are simply wishful thinking." ”
Xie Ronghua listened to his words, looked back at his men and horses very seriously, turned to him and said, "Well, you are right, the people in front of us are indeed not enough, but we just came to say hello to His Majesty the Emperor of Western Qin first, and it will not be long before the more than 100,000 people of my Great Wei will arrive." ”
Listening to his words, Zhang Shanren's face became a little ugly, but Xie Ronghua didn't seem to see it, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a smile: "By the way, I almost forgot, more than 100,000 horses may not be in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, but General Zongzheng brought 100,000 horses to me, so it should be able to enter His Majesty's eyes." ”
Before his words fell, the Western Qin generals on the city wall were in an uproar, and they never expected that Zong Zhengming, who was sent to the battle, would actually surrender to the enemy. Zhang Shanren's face changed greatly, and he roared: "Don't bewitch the crowd in front of us, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking, Zong Zhengming won't fall to you at all." ”
Xie Ronghua said calmly: "Believe it or not, the truth will soon be presented to you anyway." ”
Zhang Shanren was furious by his attitude, but he didn't dare to act rashly, he didn't know when Xie Ronghua's reinforcements would appear, and whether Zong Zhengming had really surrendered, he was not sure at all.
Xie Ronghua had no intention of attacking the city immediately, and he led the cavalry to retreat to a place about two miles away from the Jingshui River. By this time his 3,000 cavalry had arrived, and he formed his ranks into improvised battle formations, and then held his army still and waited for the enemy to attack.
After Xie Ronghua and Zhang Shanren's army had been confronted for a long time, Zhang Shanren finally received a message from Zong Zhengming, saying that they had been defeated at Gao Yong City and were chased and intercepted by the Wei army, and now all the soldiers in his hands were seriously injured, so Zhang Shanren quickly sent an army to rescue them.
After Zhang Shanren read the letter, he tore it to shreds, and said angrily: "Okay, you Zong Zhengming, you really take me for a fool, Xie Ronghua is at the foot of Qin City, you come to tell me now that you have lost the battle, let me send troops to rescue, I see that you just want to lure me to open the city gate and let the Wei army take the opportunity to attack in." ”
With his roar, the ministers under the court all trembled and did not dare to speak, and lamented in their hearts, it seems that Zong Zhengming has really surrendered to the enemy, and now that the Wei army is outside the city, how can they be. (To be continued.) )
