Just when Bai Qi was rushing to Hanzhong, the King of Qin sent a letter to Zhang Xianzhong, and the secretary wrote that Bai Qi was sick to cover people's eyes, and he himself had set off in the starry night and rushed to Henan, preparing to command the battle of Zuo Liangyu. 【Fengyun Reading Network. Moreover, the Qin army has already marched tens of thousands of troops into Xinyang, and when Bai Qi is ready, he will write a letter to Zhang Xianzhong, and make an appointment to attack together.

Zhang Xianzhong got this secretary and discussed with his subordinates. For many days, many fine works have reported back the news, roughly the same as the King of Qin, on the way to Yangxin, there is already a large Qin army marching, Xinyang's guard Zhang Gong has also stepped up training, hoarding grain and grass, looking like he is going to fight a big battle.

As soon as the news from the two sides was compared, Zhang Xianzhong was completely sure that the Qin army had made up his mind to take Zuo Liangyu. So he did not hesitate, immediately ordered, dispatched troops, stationed in Kuimen, he did not personally go out, but ordered Li Dingguo, let him command this expedition, and at the same time sent Pan Duao to Li Dingguo's side, as the mastermind.

This time, Zhang Xianzhong also made a bloody investment, he drew elite soldiers from all over the country to form an army of 230,000 people. It is known as 400,000 to the outside world, and it is violent.

Li Dingguo was very excited when he received the holy decree, since the rebellion, he had never commanded such a large army. There is more Zhang Xianzhong's respect and trust in him. So Li Dingguo wrote to Zhang Xianzhong that he must take Wuchang.

After Zhang Xianzhong sent more than 200,000 troops, there were only 70,000 or 80,000 horses left in the whole Sichuan, except for Ai Nengqi who led 20,000 male soldiers to defend the Sword Pavilion, the rest were scattered all over the country, the largest number was Chengdu, with 15,000 people, and the troops of the rest of the county towns were only 3 or 2,000 people.

Although Zhang Xianzhong sent most of his men, he was still very relieved about Sichuan, and after the capture of Sichuan, his men and horses carried out a reign of terror in various places, and each family was not allowed to hide weapons privately, and once found, the whole family was beheaded. Most of the people are scared and silent, so the market is very stable, and there are no small cases in many areas, this is not that there are no disputes among the people, but that Zhang Xianzhong sent troops to govern the localities. In some cases, the plaintiff and the defendant are tied up and beheaded.

In this way, where do the common people dare to go to court, so it is very stable. Zhang Xianzhong was still smug, feeling that the Great West Kingdom had become a country and a peaceful country, and the people were happy to work, and there was no worry.

Just when Zhang Xianzhong confidently and boldly transferred troops eastward, gathered at Kuimen, and prepared to go down the east of the river to attack Wuchang, Bai Qi secretly arrived in Hanzhong, this matter only Li Dare knew, even his generals did not know, it can be seen that the Qin army kept secrets meticulously.

As soon as Bai Qi arrived in Hanzhong, Li dared to secretly enter the city, and did not show the slightest rumor, and no one knew that the general in the Qin army had secretly arrived.

Li Dang took Bai Qi into his mansion, tightly sealed the news, and at the same time strengthened the vigilance in the city, so as not to let the details be aware. If Zhang Xianzhong's spies knew that Bai had become Hanzhong and reported to Chengdu, with Zhang Xianzhong's deceit and suspicion, he would immediately understand what was going on, then the previous things would have been all in vain. So Li Dare hid this matter very well.

Bai Qi entered Li Kang's mansion and discussed with Li Kang about entering the army.

Li Dang asked: "General, there are not many people and horses in Hanzhong, it is difficult to enter the army, and the soldiers and horses transferred by the king have not yet arrived at this time, I don't know how many elite soldiers there are?" ”

Bai Qi said: "There are 40,000 horses. They are the most elite. However, in order to hide people's eyes, they only marched at night, so the speed was slower. In my estimation, it may be another four or five days, and you will be able to go to Hanzhong, and you must secretly access them, and you must not alarm them too much. ”

Li Dare said: "The general doesn't have to worry, the general already has an idea about this matter, when the people come, I will order the change of defense in various places, in that case, on the entire road in Hanzhong, it will be the men and horses of my Qin army to change the guard, no one can find out the actual number of the Qin army, take advantage of the chaos, I will transfer them all to the vicinity of Yangping Pass, which is a stone's throw away from Sichuan, and can enter the army at any time." ”

Bai nodded: "This is a good plan. However, when it comes to marching into the army, you will still need to go out. ”

Li Dare said: "Right now, Ai Nengqi leads more than 20,000 people to defend the Sword Pavilion, that place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We can't fight hard. Bai Qi said: "Of course not." As long as we fight in the Sword Pavilion, Zhang Xianzhong will immediately understand in Chengdu, and the Sword Pavilion will fight, and it is not possible to break through in a short time, so I will send you to sneak in, take it by surprise, kill Ai Nengqi, and occupy Guancheng. ”

Li Dare said: "This matter will be prepared for a long time, so as early as last year, I sent several groups of people to sneak into the Sword Pavilion and hide among the people, as long as I make a move, these people can attack at any time." ”

Bai Qi said: "In the Sword Pavilion, how many of our people are there?" ”

Li dared to say: "**Ten people." Moreover, when I enter the Sword Pavilion, I can also bring in a few hundred, and with these horses, I can occupy the city, open the city gate, and welcome the army into the gate. ”

Bai Qi thought about it carefully: "It can only be like this, but you have to think about it carefully, for what reason to enter the Sword Pavilion." Don't be doubted by Enench. ”

Li Dang smiled and said: "The reason, I have already thought about it, so I said that in order to thank the Great Western Kingdom for sending troops to help, the King of Qin sent someone to send a generous gift, which I personally escorted and transported to the city." When the time comes, he will bring some big vehicles, load some souvenirs, and even hide soldiers, as long as he enters the Sword Pavilion, he will be done. ”

Bai Qi patted Li Kang on the shoulder: "The idea is very good, hurry up and prepare." In a few days, we'll be mobilizing. Li Kang was a little apprehensive: "General, there is something that the general should not ask, if he defeats Chengdu and captures Zhang Xianzhong, will the king execute him?" ”

Bai Qi smiled indifferently: "If he can be captured alive, the king will not order him to be killed, kill him, just wait until you tell the world that the Qin army has no affection for its former allies." I think the king might put him under house arrest or exile him to a remote place. ”

Li Dang breathed a sigh of relief, but Bai Qi sneered again: "If he dies on the battlefield, there is no way." Li Dang sighed: "As long as he doesn't die, I don't have any guilt." ”

Bai Qi said: "General Li Kang is a person who understands, the two countries are fighting, no matter how good the private relationship between you and Zhang Xianzhong is, you can't miss my king's great cause." When we break Chengdu, I will give the order to capture him alive as much as possible. ”
