The brothers met and went into the city to rest together. 【Fengyun Reading Network. Li Kang had already taken Qianniang's family at this time, and after returning to his house, Qianniang had already prepared a sumptuous wine and dinner for the two brothers, which was different from entertaining others. Li Yan is like his own family.

The two talked while eating, Li Dang only knew about his brother's envoy, but he didn't know the inside story, so Li Yan explained it to him one by one. After Li Dang heard this, he gasped.

Li Yan said: "Brother, did you hear that you are going to attack Zhang Xianzhong, and you can't bear it?" ”

Li Dang shook his head lightly: "There is one point, but it is not all the reasons. I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly. Li Yan said: "Don't worry, even if the King of Qin wants to capture Sichuan, considering your relationship with Zhang Xianzhong, he will definitely not let you go." Li Dang smiled bitterly: "Brother, you don't know the character of our king, if you want to attack Sichuan this time, I must be a pioneer officer." ”

Li Yan was taken aback: "Brother is so sure?" King Qin sent you to fight, aren't you afraid that you will have personal feelings and miss the fighter? ”

Li dared to say: "Who is the king?" In the past few years, he has a thorough understanding of the generals under him. He knows what I am. Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve, and the king knows better than anyone else. And this time to capture Sichuan, it will definitely not be forced, it will depend on outwitting, who else in the Qin army is more qualified than me? ”

Li Yan nodded: "Brother is right. It's really hard for you then. ”

Li dared to say: "I was prepared, but I didn't expect that this day was just around the corner." However, it can also be imagined that if the Qin army does not capture Sichuan, how can it dare to fight for the Central Plains with confidence? ”

Li Yan said: "If my expectations are correct, it won't take a few days for the king to start secretly transferring troops to you, and General Bai Qi will definitely come secretly to command this battle." Li dared to say: "This is natural, such a big battle can be said to be related to the overall plan of the Qin army, and only General Bai Qi can be competent." ”

Li Yan suddenly thought of something, blushed, and said, "Brother, before the junior brother returns to Guanzhong, I have to entrust you with one more thing." Li dared to smile: "You and my brother, what kind of polite words do you say, just talk about something." Li Yan said: "I went to Sichuan to lobby Zhang Xianzhong this time, thanks to the help of Miss Tang Sai'er, otherwise it would not have been so smooth, but once the Qin army attacked Sichuan, it would completely tear its face and become an enemy country. ”

Li Dang heard Tang Sai'er's name, and said with a smile: "It's this Tang girl again, I really don't understand, since she hates you, how can she help you." Li Yan said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, my brother Hugh wants to make fun of it." Li Dang put away his smile: "Brother, what do you mean, let me send someone to secretly protect Miss Tang and send her to Hanzhong?" ”

Li Yan said: "When the younger brother left Chengdu, he had already left someone by Miss Tang's side, and I know that the king is in Chengdu, and he also has fine work, I think once Miss Tang is in danger, can we protect Miss Tang here, it is best to send him out of Chengdu secretly." ”

Li Dare said: "You don't have to worry about this, not only the king, but I also sent a few batches of people to Chengdu, and they have already taken root there, not to mention sending a person, even if you add a few carts of gold, you can get out of the city safely." Don't worry, once something happens, my people will immediately contact Miss Tang to protect her. ”

Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "So the best, so the best." ”

Li Kang blinked: "Brother, in case we take Sichuan and drive away my brother-in-law, and Miss Tang returns to the Qin Army, what do you think?" ”

Li Yan smiled bitterly: "Where do you have any ideas?" I hope she comes back, but I'm afraid she'll come back. ”

Li dared to say: "How can you say this? Li Yan said: "Miss Tang is a rare talent, it can be seen from her help Zhang Xianzhong that in just over a year, Zhang Xianzhong took the entire Sichuan, if she does not return to the Qin army and is accepted by other candidates, she will definitely be a strong enemy of the Qin army in the future." But if she comes back, maybe she will pester me again, and my wife and her don't look at each other, and I am caught in the middle, won't it be uncomfortable? ”

Li Dang smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, you can ask Miss Tang to come back with peace of mind, as for the future, let your sister-in-law do it, if she can't do it, she will pull Princess Ji and our prime minister's wife, these three people are civil and martial, and they are afraid that they can't do it?" ”

Li Yan shook his head with a wry smile and diverted the topic.

After resting in Hanzhong for a day, Li Yan didn't dare to stop more, and hurried back to Guanzhong to resume his life.

King Qin had already received Li Yan's letter, knowing that the matter had been completed, Zuo Liangyu would not send troops first, but Zhang Xianzhong would take the initiative to attack. Therefore, before Li Yan returned to Guanzhong, he had already discussed with Bai Qi and Zhang Yi, transferred troops, and began to increase troops in the Xinyang area.

In order to confuse Zhang Xianzhong, Bai Qi used his housekeeping skills, recruited troops and horses in Guanzhong, increased the training of troops, and every day the army drove out of Xi'an and went to Henan. However, at the same time, he secretly ordered Zhang Gong, the guard general of Xinyang, to secretly transfer the Qin army on the front line of Xinyang back to Guanzhong, which was extremely secret, and told Zhang Gong that the matter of transferring troops back to Guanzhong must not show the slightest rumor, and Zhang Xianzhong must not be aware.

As a result, it was originally a large-scale transfer of troops into Xinyang, but it turned into a change of guard between the two places. The people and horses who were transferred back to Guanzhong did not enter Xi'an City, but took a small road instead, and marched to Hanzhong in the starry night.

At the same time, the king of Qin inspected the people and horses in the city every day, making a lot of noise and attracting everyone's attention, so no one noticed that there was an elite Qin army on the land of Guanzhong, on the road to Hanzhong.

Not only did he send people from Henan to Hanzhong, but King Qin also issued a secret decree to transfer the men and horses of Wang Bao from Meixian County to Hanzhong, with a total of about 40,000 people.

The Qin army has 100,000 horses, there are nearly 30,000 people in Henan, Wang Jian in the north has 20,000 people, Wang Bao has 10,000 under him, plus the defenders in Hanzhong and other places, the 40,000 horses and horses drawn at present are already the largest strength of the Qin army.

From this move, it can be seen that King Qin is desperate and goes all out to take Sichuan.

To this end, the Qin army chose the most elite troops, the best equipment, and the best generals. As expected, King Qin ordered Bai Qi to be the commander-in-chief, and Li Dare to be the vanguard and enter Sichuan.

Bai got up with the secret decree of King Qin, called himself sick to the outside world, neither went to court nor showed up, and found a person to replace himself at home to hide people's eyes and ears, but he pretended to be a city patrol and went straight to Hanzhong one night.
