Li Dare chased after him, and suddenly felt a cold light flashing in front of him, knowing that it was not good, he hurriedly turned down, and the whole person hung obliquely on the side of the horse's belly, and the arrow flew over the horse's head with a piercing roar.

At the same time, a rain of arrows was shot in the rear of the official army, and some people in the Qin army were hit by arrows and fell off their horses. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Li Dang was just about to give the order to shoot back, but when he looked up, he saw that in front of You Shilu's group of cavalry, the dust was rising, and he didn't know how many officers and soldiers were coming, and if he chased after him, he was afraid that he would fall into the encirclement of the officers and soldiers.

So Li Dang ordered that he no longer pursue the officers and troops, and hurriedly withdrew to Xi'an.

The three thousand Qin troops came and went like the wind, and they left the battlefield in the blink of an eye.

It was indeed the official army that came in front, and Chen Qiyu personally led the team and drove mightily.

Chen Qiyu's mood was extremely bad, and he couldn't wait to catch up with Gao Yingxiang immediately, chew his bones and meat in his mouth and eat it. So when chasing along the way, the murderous atmosphere was full of murder, and the whole army looked like a decisive battle.

On the surface, this is the case, but from the hearts of the officers and soldiers, they have lost trust in Chen Qiyu. The Carriage Gorge is an excellent place to encircle and annihilate, but it was escaped by the people's tactics, and now the peasant army has run out, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky if they want to besiege it again. And everyone instinctively realized that Chen Qiyu's official position was already in jeopardy.

Sure enough, when the official army chased the peasant army and came to the Bronze Pass, the holy decree finally arrived.

As expected, when the peasant army broke out of the encirclement and captured the county seat of Ankang, Chongzhen received the report, he was furious, angry with the sky, and immediately issued an order to remove Chen Qiyu from all positions and take him to the capital and put him in prison. Then he ordered Lu Xiangsheng to be the governor of the council, and gave Shang Fang a sword, and if the subordinate generals did not listen to the order, they would be cut first and then played.

Now that Lu Xiangsheng is in power, he can go all out to chase down the peasant army.

At Qingtongguan, Chen Qiyu was escorted to the prisoner car and escorted to the capital by the Jinyi guard, Lu Xiangsheng came back from the rebellion and took over all military affairs. He already knew about Zhang Yi's defection, and he was also fooled in his heart, this Mr. Zhang has been in his camp for more than half a year, and he has never shown any signs, but he has really achieved a quiet place, moving like a rabbit, as long as he starts to act, he is vigorous and resolute, one plan after another, one ring after another, which is really powerful.

At this time, Zhang Yi fled, but God was fair and gave him a big gift, which was Fan Ju. Lu Xiangsheng is not a fool, he secretly sent someone to infiltrate Xi'an City to listen to the news, and sure enough, he heard about Fan Ju, it seems that Fan Ju betrayed the Qin army, not a bitter plan, but true.

Lu Xiangsheng reorganized his men and horses, and incorporated Zu Kuan's 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry into the Chinese army, which was his most ferocious force, not inferior to Cao Wenzhao's men and horses.

He rectified in Qingtongguan for five days, replenished the food and equipment of the soldiers, and had a total of 10,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry under his command, although the peasant army he faced had 70,000 or 80,000 people, Lu Xiangsheng was already sure enough, because his elite level of men and horses far exceeded that of the peasant army.

In this team, Sun Chuanting, as his deputy, further strengthened his power, which was also the result of Lu Xiangsheng's trust in him. Lu Xiangsheng has good eyesight and has long seen Sun Chuanting's ability, so he is exceptionally entrusted with important tasks.

Sun Chuanting selected 5,000 Yulin soldiers in the army, organized into a battalion, led by himself, he went out of Shaanxi to meet Lu Xiangsheng, there were 2,000 Yulin soldiers under his command, this time his men and horses have nearly 8,000, and the combat effectiveness is very strong, Lu Xiangsheng is very generous, let him set up another battalion.

These more than 7,000 Yulin soldiers are under Sun Chuanting, and they are about to create a miracle.

Not to mention the official army, not to mention the peasant army, Gao Li and others were escorted by Li Dang all the way, walked for two days, and finally came to Xi'an, at this time under the command of Wang Qian, the Qin army has taken Xianyang, and also captured Lintong, Lantian and other small counties around, the territory of the Qin army has expanded a lot, and more and more people are recruited.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's men and horses were already stationed in Lantian to wait for Gao and Li.

Zhang Yi had already entered the city and met the King of Qin, and when the King of Qin heard that Zhang Yi had arrived, he was very excited and personally went out of the house to greet him. Since running away from Fan Ju, King Qin always feels that the talents around him are a little weak, the generals are okay, and there are fewer strategists, relying only on Li Yan alone, it is inevitable that he is a little stretched. At this time, Zhang Yi returned, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After the king of Qin and several other leaders saw Zhang Yi, they were very happy to hear him talk about the situation on the road, and now that the peasant army has arrived, Xi'an City is finally no longer afraid of the siege of the official army.

The king of Qin immediately ordered to allocate 1,000 carts of grain and grass, 5,000 taels of silver, 1,000 catties of pig iron, and 200 war horses to the peasant army. to show good faith.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai received these things and finally put their hearts at ease.

Two days later, Li Dang accompanied Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng to arrive, and after the peasant army rendezvous, Li Dang returned to Xi'an to resume his life. When the King of Qin and the important ministers heard that Gao and Li had also arrived safely, they were even more happy and sent some supplies, grain and rice.

The king of Qin discussed with everyone that the future actions should be planned in a unified manner, and it was necessary to have an alliance under the city and hold a meeting to make a clear decision.

Zhang Yi first agreed: "The king's words are very true, the peasant army has 70,000 or 80,000 people, plus more than 10,000 people and horses of our Qin army, the total number is more than 100,000. ”

Li Yan nodded: "We have 100,000 horses, and the officers and soldiers will definitely gather all the elites in Guanzhong." According to what Mr. said, Chen Qiyu's men and horses are no less than 40,000 or 50,000, plus Hong Chengchou's men and horses, which are not much less than ours, besides, the elite officers and soldiers, the peasant army have many families, miscellaneous personnel, old and young, and there are less than 30,000 or 40,000 people who can fight, so we do not have any advantage in this comparison. ”

King Qin said: "No matter what, we occupy Xi'an City, so we can't leave." Leaving Xi'an, the army's spirit will collapse. The king decided to fight a decisive battle with the official army in Xi'an. Right Minister, write a letter and send it to the peasant army, inviting them to come to the governor's palace in the city to discuss matters. ”

Zhang Yi immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to send it over.

Gao Yingxiang received the letter, opened it and took a look, understood the meaning, and immediately invited a few palms to come to discuss, he said the meaning of the letter, Zhang Xianzhong first opposed entering the city: "Chuang Wang, Xi'an City we can't enter." Beware of Qin Jun's deception, I have been a hostage to them once, if it wasn't for the Dingguo in advance on the way back, the dinner guy would be gone. At the moment, this King of Qin, we have not dealt with each other, I don't know how to behave, we can't easily enter the city, in case someone puts a Hongmen banquet and serves us in a pot, our tens of thousands of horses have not become people's? What do you say, Cao Cao? ”

His words are very representative, and Luo Rucai also means this: "The Eight Kings are right, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to defend people." It's better not to go. ”

Gao Yingxiang looked at Li Zicheng: "Zicheng, what do you say?" ”
