After sending Gao Yingxiang and others away, King Qin consulted with his ministers overnight. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

Li Yan has always had a worry, and at this time he put it forward: "In the peasant army, there are many people who are brutal and murderous. Once they capture the county seat, they will start slaughtering the city, so what? ”

Zhang Yi also said: "This is reasonable, if we want to restore Great Qin, we must recruit more people, and with people, we can cultivate the land and develop craftsmen." If the peasant army kills all the people in the city, won't we be drawing water with bamboo baskets? ”

King Qin thought for a while: "I will immediately send someone to the peasant army and explain it to them." It is not allowed to slaughter the city, if the city is slaughtered, our Qin army will have to share half of the money and grain. I don't think they're going to kill more people in order to keep the money. ”

Bai Qi said: "100,000 horses are stationed under the city, and our Qin army has no peace of sleep. It's better to send these uncles away as soon as possible. ”

Ziyi interjected on the side: "But my Qin army is weak, they are gone, we can't withstand the official army." ”

Bai Qi glanced at Ziyi and snorted: "Then you might as well go to the official army like Fan Ju." ”

Ziyi blushed suddenly, lowered his head and shut up, and didn't dare to say a word anymore.

He had framed Bai Qi with Fan Ju before, so Bai Qi hated Ziyi the most in addition to hating Fan Ju. Because Ziyi exposed Fan Ju's merits and had the order of King Qin, he didn't kill Ziyi. Therefore, every time I see him, it is not pleasing to the eye.

King Qin glanced at the two of them and said, "The peasant army can't stay, but we still need them right now, and we can't let them leave." This has already been discussed, so there is no need to say more. General Bai Qi, in order to rescue this king, you lost three counties. Don't you want to take it back? ”

Bai Qi arched his hand and said: "King, the three counties are already empty counties, and all the people have been moved into the mountains and forests by me, I once told them that within half a month, the three counties will be recovered and let them go home." At this time, twelve days have passed, and it is expected that the Ming army of the fierce tiger has also slackened, and I am willing to mention the men and horses of the headquarters to recapture the three counties. At that time, the Qin army's place of maneuver will be much larger. ”

King Qin nodded: "That's very good." After you recover the three counties, you can still be stationed there, and you don't have to report everything to me, just make your own decisions. ”

Bai Qiyi frowned: "In this way, isn't my power too great?" ”

He has his own concerns. In the previous life, Bai Qi was suspicious of Fan Ju because of his excessive prestige and too heavy military power, so he died, at this time, the King of Qin wanted to completely hand over the three counties to him, and he became the emperor of that place.

King Qin expected it, but he didn't care: "You just have to do things." Fan Ju has fled, and no one in the army will speak ill of you anymore. Zhang Yi is your predecessor, the person you admire, Wang Jian is your junior, the person who admires you the most, they won't say anything about you, Li Gongzi is elegant and elegant, and he is not a person who harms people. So you just have to rest assured. Even if anyone says it, I don't believe it. The king and the general will be in harmony, and the world will be stable. ”

Bai Qi knelt on the ground: "Thank you for your trust." White must follow the work of dogs and horses. ”

Li Yan helped Bai Qi up: "General, you only bring the people of the headquarters, isn't it too little?" ”

Bai Qi said: "That's enough. Besides, Xi'an City also needs to be guarded by people and horses. The king needs more protection from men and horses. It's just that after I leave, Brother Wang Qian, you have to worry more, on the one hand, you have to beware of the officers and soldiers, and you also have to beware of the peasant army's counterattack. ”

Wang Jian arched his hand: "The general can rest assured." ”

So that night, Bai Qi quietly led his subordinates to leave Xi'an City and march towards Meixian.

King Qin attaches great importance to the three counties, because the place where the three counties of Meixian Fufeng and Wugong are located is very important, and it can be regarded as the west gate of Xi'an. If you occupy the three counties, you can block the official troops from Gansu and even Sichuan.

At present, Xi'an is still the land of four wars. Officers and troops can attack from all sides, so blocking one side can relieve a lot of pressure.

After Bai Qi left, Wang Jian was in charge of the military of Xi'an, recruiting new troops and stepping up training while strengthening the defense of Xi'an.

Li Yan and Zhang Yi have more things to do, these two are considered civil officials, and they have to manage all the affairs in the city. Now that spring has arrived, and after a few spring rains, it is time to start cultivating the land. Therefore, the implementation of various laws and regulations requires their meticulous work.

said Ziyi, he was scolded by Bai Qi that night, and he was very embarrassed in front of everyone, but as soon as he returned to his residence, he immediately recovered his demeanor. He wrote a secret letter under the lamp, handed it to a confidant, and whispered a few words. This henchman was not Qin Jun, but a homeless man he had recruited in Huayin before, and he had a good relationship with Gan Yue.

The henchman sewed the secret letter into his clothes, and early the next morning, he dressed up as an ordinary person and dragged his horse out of the city. Then he hurried his horse and headed south.

This letter is the conspiracy of the King of Qin. Ziyi wanted to give it to Fan Ju.

Writing this, the magistrate couldn't help but ask, didn't Ziyi and Fan Ju already turn against each other? If it weren't for Ziyi, Fan Ju would still refuse to admit that he had framed Bai Qi.

In fact, it is implied in the book that the scene of the arrest of fake Bai that day was just a play performed by Ziyi and Fan Ju. In order to confess Fan Ju and arrest him in prison.

Because Fan Ju was very smart, since the King of Qin returned to Xi'an, he could see that the King of Qin believed in Bai Qi and did not believe in him. At this time, Bai Qi occupied three more counties, and there were soldiers and generals under him, and the reason why he did not fight back was because the king of Qin returned to the Qin army. Bai Qi is loyal to King Qin, he is just waiting for an opportunity to plead, and this opportunity, King Qin will definitely give him. When the time comes, it will be difficult for him to escape his life.

Instead of letting Bai get up and defend himself and react passively, it is better to take the initiative. Therefore, he discussed a plan with Ziyi, and Ziyi came forward to explain his crimes to Qin Jun, and then Ziyi came up with an idea and set a false plan to lure himself into the bait. He pretended to be a trick and was exposed on the spot. Fan Ju calculated that the King of Qin would not kill him immediately, and he needed some time to think about the consequences and how to explain it to the Qin soldiers. He is an important minister, and he can't just kill him, that will shake the morale of the army.

As long as you are in prison, you have a way out.

Ziyi acted as an internal response, making it not difficult for Gan Yue and others to rob the prison. The only danger is whether Fan Ju can escape. For this point, Fan Ju had already prepared, and he had hostages such as the Red Lady in his hand, so that he could escape.

The plan developed according to the pre-regulations, and Fan Ju escaped into Lu Xiangsheng's camp and immediately became his important adviser. And Ziyi continued to act as a traitor in the Qin army. When necessary, it can make a big difference.

All the Qin soldiers felt that although Ziyi was disloyal, he could take the initiative to expose Fan Ju this time, and believed that he would not betray the Qin army again in the future.

So Ziyi hid it from everyone.

In this secret letter, he told the whole story of the Qin king's discussion with everyone, and at the same time emphasized that the Qin army and the peasant army did not trust each other, and both sides were careful to be on guard. Although there is no holiday at the moment, after a long time, the two sides will definitely turn against each other.

Moreover, in order to make the two sides turn against each other in advance, Ziyi said in the letter that he would try his best to sow discord between the two sides, and as long as he provoked a fight between the soldiers of the two sides, the Qin army and the peasant army would definitely break up.

After Fan Ju received the letter, he felt that the opportunity was in front of him, so he suggested that Lu Xiangsheng withdraw his men and horses farther away, so that the pressure on the peasant army and the Qin army would be less. In this way, there will be no external threats, and there will be less unity internally.

After receiving Lu Xiangsheng's secret letter, Hong Chengchou also thought that this was a good plan to disintegrate the enemy army without a fight. So he ordered his horses to continue their retreat north, until they reached Ganquan. At the same time, he ordered all the surrounding counties to empty the treasury of money and grain as much as possible, so as not to leave it for the peasant army.

Hong Chengchou's plan was even more powerful, he knew the peasant army best, and knew that they would not be able to stay under the city of Xi'an, and they would attack from all sides, attack the towns, and plunder money. As long as they are not allowed to get much grain, the peasant army will eventually be unable to hold back and snatch the supplies of the Qin army, and the two sides will be angry if they don't make trouble.

So the officers and troops of the two routes all stayed away from Guanzhong. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, only the Qin army and the peasant army remained, and some ruined prefectures and counties.

But it was said that Bai Qi took his own men and horses, marched day and night, and it only took more than a day to come to Wugong County. At this time, because there were no people in the county seat, only fierce as a tiger with 2,000 officers and soldiers guarded. Fierce as a tiger was dismissed and retained, he was very angry in his heart, hated that Bai Qi deceived him, and hated himself for being so happy, and made a disgraced face, he held his stomach, and wanted to find Bai Qi to vent, but he guarded for more than ten days, and there was no trace of Bai Qi's people, and when he sent someone to explore, he reported that the Qin army and the peasant army defeated Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng's two official armies, and they were resting in Xi'an City at this time, and Bai Qi was also in the city.

Although fierce as a tiger is angry, he is not crazy, and he will never do something stupid to attack Xi'an. He thought that Bai Qi might not come back, because when he left, Bai Qi withdrew all the people and took all the money and food with him.

At present, he is guarding three empty county towns, and he can't even raise food, so he can only rely on the allocation from above. However, Gansu is too far away from here, and it is not easy to transport grain, so the fierce tiger has already retreated. I just wanted to eat almost all the stored grain, so I took advantage of this reason to leave the three counties and return to Gansu.

There will be no desire to fight, and the soldiers will not want to fight even more. During the day, everyone wandered around the city and outside the city, and at night they gathered in one place to drink and gamble, and no one cared about military discipline.

When Bai risen, it was night, there was a dead silence inside and outside Wugong County, and the soldiers at the head of the city were also sleeping soundly together, only some wind lamps were still swaying in the wind, and they couldn't shine much bright.

Seeing this, Bai Qi was overjoyed, and he ordered the soldiers to climb up to the city with rope hooks. Kill the defenders and open the gates.

The sneak attack went very smoothly, and a dozen soldiers effortlessly climbed the not-so-high walls, silently killed the officers and soldiers of the city, and then opened the city gates. The four thousand men and horses of Bai Qi shouted and killed in.
