Tang Sai'er thanked her again and again, she did this to dispel Zhang Xianzhong's suspicions. [No pop-ups. Not long after, someone came to report, and all the people were assembled and ready to go. Zhang Xianzhong did not delay at all, and immediately raised troops, and more than 20,000 people headed towards Mianzhu.

Chengdu was handed over to Liu Wenxiu's guards. Liu Wenxiu looks gentle, but he is also ruthless in his bones, after Zhang Xianzhong left, he ordered martial law in the whole city, and there were soldiers patrolling the streets and alleys of Chengdu, and he sent a hundred men and horses to protect Tang Sai'er's house.

Where is this protection, it is clearly house arrest. As long as Tang Sai'er went out, he would follow dozens of Great Western Army behind him, following all the way, not relaxing at all.

Obviously, this was ordered by Zhang Xianzhong, and he was still not at ease just to take Tang Hu away.

This time Tang Sai'er was a little worried, what she was most concerned about was this brother, who became Zhang Xianzhong's hostage at this time, and he was still under guard, and he couldn't have any abnormal behavior, once Zhang Xianzhong repelled the Qin army, he and his brother could still save their lives, Zhang Xianzhong would even believe in himself again, but if Bai Qi defeated Zhang Xianzhong, then God knows what kind of behavior Zhang Xianzhong would do.

Although Tang Sai'er has not followed Zhang Xianzhong for a long time, he also knows this person deeply, Zhang Xianzhong's biggest characteristic is that he is moody, and he is very murderous, Tang Sai'er has persuaded him more than once, but it has no effect.

The life and death of himself and his brother were in the hands of others, and Tang Sai'er naturally felt fear.

She returned to the mansion, found Xiao Liu'er, and told her about it, Xiao Liu'er was also surprised, but he still followed Tang Sai'er's instructions, sent those Li Kang's personal soldiers to disguise themselves as ordinary people, left Chengdu, and went to Mianzhu to inquire about the news, no matter what the war was, he had to send the letter back first.

After a few people left, Xiao Liu'er comforted Tang Sai'er: "Miss Tang, don't worry, my Li Gongzi has arranged people in the city, when you want to leave, we can go out." ”

Tang Sai'er said: "I don't want to leave at the moment, if I leave, Zhang Xianzhong will get the news immediately, and my brother will definitely die at that time." ”

Xiao Liu'er said: "What does that girl mean?" ”

A fierce light flashed in Tang Sai'er's eyes: "Zhang Xianzhong doesn't trust me at all, even if I help him repel the Qin army this time, I will definitely die in his hands in the future." If he is unkind, do not blame me for being unjust. Xiao Liu'er, how many people are in your Qin army in the city? ”

Xiao Liu'er said: "Don't hide it from the girl, together with the people left by Li Gongzi, and the secret agents sent by the Qin army, there are about forty or fifty people." ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Have all these people been on the battlefield?" ”

Xiao Liu'er smiled: "That's natural, people who are afraid of death will never send it." ”

Tang Sai'er nodded: "Okay, I'm going to recruit some nurses in the next few days, you can find thirty people for me, I want the most reliable person, I can be useful." ”

Xiao Liu'er said: "This is not difficult, but girl, what do you want these dozens of people for?" If you take the city, it's obviously too little. ”

Tang Sayer said: "There are not many people, but how to use them." Just go and greet them, and bring them into my house for the next few days. ”

Xiao Liu'er got the order and went out to secretly contact these people, Tang Sai'er directly found Liu Wenxiu, saying that he wanted to recruit some family members to protect his safety. Liu Wenxiu began to disagree, saying that it was enough to have the protection of his own soldiers, and there was no need to recruit more people. Tang Sai'er said coldly: "Your soldiers should withdraw some, I feel uncomfortable looking at them, and I am responsible for my safety." ”

Liu Wenxiu listened and smiled indifferently: "Okay, listen to the prime minister." However, these recruited people are best from Chengdu City, don't bring people from outside in, and be careful to mix in. ”

Tang Sai'er said: "That's natural, when you recruit tomorrow, you can watch from the sidelines." ”

Liu Wenxiu naturally couldn't go in person, he sent a few personal soldiers, and the next day he was outside the gate of Tang Sai'er's mansion, watching Xiao Liu'er recruit people. Sure enough, these recruited people are all from Chengdu City, all of them are strong, and they are all people with some duties.

Liu Wenxiu listened to the report, but he was still not at ease, he sent more manpower, and kept an eye on Tang Sai'er's mansion.

Just when the two were secretly competing, the men and horses led by Zhang Xianzhong had already entered Mianzhu, and he was stationed in the city, and only one day later, Bai Qi led the Qin army to kill outside the city.

Bai Qi naturally knew that he couldn't delay it for a long time, no matter what, before Li Dingguo returned to his division, he would capture Chengdu and capture Zhang Xianzhong alive. Therefore, after he received the decree of the King of Qin, without any hesitation, he immediately marched with the whole army, left Jiangyou, and went straight to the last barrier of Chengdu, Mianzhu.

On the way, Bai Qi got the news that Zhang Xianzhong personally led more than 20,000 men and horses to Mianzhu, preparing to fight to the death with the Qin army.

Li Dang smiled: "He really came out." This time, Chengdu is almost empty. ”

Bai Qi said: "What if it's empty, we can't take the bamboo, and we can only look at Chengdu and sigh." Ordered the three armies to speed up the march, and it was best to capture Mianzhu before Zhang Xianzhong entered the city. ”

However, no matter how fast the Qin army was, it could not be faster than the Great Western Army, because there were obstacles on the road from time to time, and several small counties along the way had to be captured, so it was much slower than Zhang Xianzhong.

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong heard that he had played in vain, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the four doors to be closed and strictly defended. He also knew that the Qin army was eager to find him for a decisive battle, and his side only needed to hold it, and when Sun Kewang's men and horses entered Hanzhong, or Li Dingguo sent men and horses back to help, this battle would be won with certainty. Therefore, he did not go out of the city to fight with the Qin army, but only ordered to prepare more equipment to defend the city and prepare to defend Mianzhu.

The forward scouts of the Qin army saw that the Great Western Army was busy in the city, transporting a lot of stones, crossbow arrows, ash bottles and other things, so they reported to Bai Qi. Bai Qi sneered and said to Li Dang: "Zhang Xianzhong guessed that we are fighting quickly, he wants to defend Mianzhu to the death, and he doesn't plan to go out of the city to fight to the death with my Qin army." ”

Li dared to say: "Yes, my righteous brother has always liked the scene of the two armies fighting against each other and rushing to kill each other, this time he calmed down, but it was not easy to deal with." General, are we attacking the city? ”

Bai shook his head: "It's not easy to siege the city, we don't have many siege equipment in our army, and most importantly, there are no artillery, besides, we can't be dragged here, this battle, the sooner it ends, the better." Li dared to say: "But Zhang Xianzhong can't defend it, what good way can we do?" Bai Qi looked at the map and muttered for a long time: "There will be a way." ”

That night, Bai Qi took a few personal soldiers, did not light lanterns, did not light torches, went out of the camp in the dark, and quietly approached the city of Mianzhu.
