King Qin muttered: "And he understands the benefits of holding a male soldier better than others. 【Fengyun Reading Network. Therefore, as long as it is not about his life and death, he will not fight with all his life, that is, to preserve his strength. Once the Ming Dynasty dies in the future, Zuo Liangyu will become a town candidate. Now Zuo Liangyu was transferred to Henan to participate in the Battle of Kaifeng. According to the girl's analysis, he will not fight to the death. ”

Da Yu'er nodded: "But Sun Chuanting is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has great prestige in the army, and his methods are strict, so it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose in this battle." ”

The three of them drank as they spoke, until the moon sank in the west, and then they dispersed.

King Qin sent someone to send Da Yu'er back to rest, he and Ji Mengdie went back to the room, and when they returned to the room, King Qin's first words were: "Zitong, you must strictly guard this woman in the future." Don't let her escape. ”

Ji Mengdie was taken aback: "What did the king say this?"

King Qin sneered: "This woman looks at people, she can see through many people, and naturally includes the important ministers of my Qin army." Once such a person escapes and falls into someone else's camp, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Qin army. Besides, from a lonely point of view, she not only knows people, but also has a big picture in her chest, which cannot be taken lightly. ”

Ji Mengdie grinned: "It's easy to prevent her from escaping." The king took her in, or she would be done once and for all,"

King Qin shook his head lightly: "You have just been injured and cannot have children, it is the time of sadness, how can you bear to accept others as concubines at this time, let's talk about this matter later." ”

Ji Mengdie sighed, touched her stomach, and didn't say anything.

The next day, the King of Qin issued an order for Li Yan and the Red Lady to return to Xi'an immediately. Originally, after conquering Hanzhong, Li Yan and the Red Lady were in Hanzhong, but a few days had passed, and the situation in Hanzhong had slowly stabilized. There is no need for a lot of people to stay there at this time. Therefore, the king of Qin only left Li Dang to guard Hanzhong.

After Li Yan and the Red Lady returned to Xi'an, the King of Qin immediately summoned Bai Qi and Zhang Yi, who were several important ministers who remained in Xi'an City.

Everyone knows that King Qin summoned Li Yan back so quickly, there must be something important.

Sure enough, King Qin got straight to the point: "Gongzi Li has been running all the way, and he should have rested, but the stakes are so high that he has to summon you to discuss immediately." ”

Li Yan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Where is it, the king has something to do, and Li Yan will not hesitate to go to the soup, and at this time it is the time for my Qin army to start, everything is at the command of the king." ”

King Qin looked at everyone: "The importance of the current situation lies in Kaifeng, Henan. Li Zichengzheng and Luo Rucai joined forces to fight against Sun Chuanting, Zuo Liangyu and others. Once Li Zicheng is defeated by Sun Chuanting, I am afraid that the situation in the world will become extremely unfavorable to our Qin army. Therefore, Li Zicheng's victory or defeat is the victory or defeat of our Qin army. Therefore, Gu Xiang sent a group of men and horses into Henan to help in the war. There is no need to confront Sun Chuanting head-on, and it is also good to harass him on the side or in the rear. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Because no one expected King Qin to come up with this idea.

You must know that the Qin army captured Hanzhong at this time, and it also needed men and horses to defend it, so the already overstretched troops were even more insufficient. At this time, it seems a bit too risky to enter Henan to help in the war. Therefore, there are fewer people who go, and it has no effect, but there are more people who go, and once Guanzhong and Hanzhong are attacked, it is not a joke.

Bai Qi, as a general, thought of this in an instant, so he said: "King, now that our Qin army is insufficient, it is still not enough to control Guanzhong and Hanzhong. ”

Li Yan also said: "Yes, besides, there are a lot of food and military materials to prepare, can you be sure of running thousands of miles to fight unprepared battles, once you fall into the encirclement of the official army, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

Zhang Yi thought farther than others: "King, let's help Li Zicheng, defeated, lost the army, needless to say, even if the battle is won, the Qin army will not get the territory, and the loss of men and horses will benefit others, this is a loss-making business, and it can't be done." ”

Several important ministers objected, but King Qin was confident and waved his hand to them: "Qing and the others only know one thing, but they don't know the other." Lone's words were not finished. ”

Everyone looked at King Qin and listened to his opinions.

King Qin looked around at these important ministers of his, and then spoke: "What Zhu Qing said makes sense. The Qin army has been fighting continuously for many years, and it is already a little tired, and then it is not in line with the art of war to fight in Henan for a long time, and it is very dangerous. Even if you win, you can't occupy any place, these orphans are already clear. However, Lone still wants to send troops, because this time the troops, as long as they are properly planned, there will still be benefits and no harm. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, not knowing what King Qin meant by saying that there is no harm in all benefits.

King Qin continued: "In a long-distance battle, the more soldiers and horses, the more food will be consumed, and it is easy to be discovered by the officers and soldiers, and the room for maneuver is also small, so if you send troops, it cannot exceed 10,000 at most. Five or seven thousand centaurs are the best. After leaving Tongguan, he did not go directly to open the cover to face the official army and participate in the battle, but turned to fight in Henan. At this time in Henan, most of the troops of the official army were transferred to Kaifeng, and the defense of other counties must be empty. Taking advantage of the lack of troops in these places, the Qin army could crisscross at will, occupy cities, and collect money, food, and people. Send it to Guanzhong. For the official army, it is called robbery while the fire is hot, and for Li Zicheng, it is called drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle. Didn't he want to occupy Henan, let's make a fuss in Henan first, in the name of confronting the official army, but in fact expand our own power. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and they felt that King Qin's plan was not impossible.

King Qin continued: "Once the Qin army makes a big fuss in Henan, it is impossible for Sun Chuanting or the court to sit idly by. At that time, Sun Chuanting would inevitably divide some men and horses to deal with the Qin army. Therefore, it can be regarded as helping Li Zicheng. He couldn't say anything. ”

Bai Qi first applauded: "The king's plan is more than one stone." It not only strengthened the Qin army, but also helped Li Zicheng, and even disrupted the official army. It's a good strategy. ”

Li Yan also said: "The court transferred most of the men and horses to Kaifeng, and the Qin army entered Henan, Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and the officials and troops could no longer take care of it. This can be called offense and defense. The best way to go. ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "King, since the general and Li Gongzi have said yes, you can decide which general to lead the army to Henan,"

King Qin looked at Li Yan: "This matter will be entrusted to Li Gongzi." The general has told me many times that Li Gongzi is both civil and military, but he has not fought many battles alone, so how about inviting Li Gongzi to take a trip this time,"

Li Yan arched his hand: "Li Yan can't ask for it." Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

King Qin's face was straight: "Li Gongzi, this time you lead the army into Henan, you have to be careful about everything, it doesn't matter if you win the battle or not, as long as you disturb the official army." The Qin army did not have many horses and horses, and they could not withstand too many losses, and if they were not sure of the battle, they would still not fight well. Preservation of strength is the most important. ”

Li Yan nodded: "The minister has written it down." I begged the king to let the red lady and a few people accompany me. ”

King Qin said: "If you don't say it, I will also assign it to you." These women are all heroines, brave and strategic, and by your side, there is also a discussion in case of trouble. There is only one point, you need to get out of the customs as soon as possible, if the battle of Kaifeng is over, Li Zicheng is defeated, and then there is no point in going out again. ”

Li Yan said: "The minister must send troops within three days, the king can rest assured." ”

King Qin said to Bai Qi again: "The general can inform Shi Huai, and send someone to inquire about the news at any time, and don't let Li Gongzi's team lose the news." ”

Bai Qi said: "The king doesn't have to worry, the minister has already thought of it." ”

King Qin got up and said: "The battle of Kaifeng is a matter of survival in several aspects. It is impossible for Qin Jun to sit idly by, Gu has already sent someone to write a letter to Li Zicheng, and Li Gongzi might as well write another letter and send it. ”

Li Yan said: "The king is right. After the minister enters Henan, it is best to let Li Zicheng send a group of people to answer it, and I will write a letter. ”

After the meeting was dismissed, the king of Qin asked Bai Qi to lead the military affairs of the Qin army in various places, and all the horses strictly guarded the town and did not slack off.

However, he said that Li Yan, after receiving the order, returned to his residence, wrote a handwritten letter, and handed it to a personal soldier beside him, asking him to take it to Kaifeng and hand it over to Li Zicheng. This pro-soldier Li Zicheng knew him, so he could avoid suspicion. Then Li Yan found the red lady, Xiaoqing, Yizhimei and others, and said that the troops were dispatched, several girls were very excited, these people were very active, they had not gone out in Xi'an City for many days, and they were just practicing the women's army every day, and they were a little bored, so they just followed Li Yan out and tossed a lot in Henan.

That night, Li Yan came to the barracks and personally selected a few teams of people, most of the officers here were Qin people who had followed him to guard Huayin, and they were obedient to him and very reliable.

Li Yan selected 6,000 men, all of them cavalry, each of whom brought ten days' dry rations on horseback, and then went to the arsenal to select some weapons, including 2,000 crossbows and 3,000 bows and arrows for horses. Li Yan thought about it, this time he entered Henan, mainly not to fight against the official army, but also to raid and harass, and use more weapons such as bows and crossbows.

On the night of the next day, the 6,000 Qin troops packed up, led by Li Yan, drove out of the city and went straight to Tongguan.

Besides, Li Zicheng's side, since the siege of Kaifeng, he has been getting military information every day, and the military situation has been like fire recently, and urgent news has been sent to his tent in all directions.

What worries Li Zicheng the most is Sun Chuanting. He had already led Yang Wenyue and other generals to kill Kaifeng, and at this time the vanguard had reached the north bank of the Yellow River and set up a large camp.

In other directions, Zuo Liangyu killed from the south, He Renlong, and Cao Bianjiao pounced from the west, and the peasant army was already attacked from three sides. The situation is also dire.

What's more, Sun Chuanting is a fierce enemy, since the elimination of Gao Yingxiang, Sun Chuanting has been invincible and defeated many rebel armies.
