Bai Qi and the others listened carefully. Li Yan continued: "At present, there are peasant armies in Henan, but the military strength is not strong and cannot pose a threat to Luoyang, Kaifeng and other places, so the court has a large number of rich people and horses, which can deal with the Qin army. 【Latest chapter reading. But as long as Gao Yingxiang's four peasant armies entered Henan, there were more than 100,000 horses in Pingkong, plus the people who broke into the sky, Lao Huihui and others, there were two or three hundred thousand, so many people, once they wanted to besiege Luoyang or Kaifeng, the court would not dare not save them. And if there are fewer people and horses, it can't be saved. Therefore, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and others will inevitably be transferred to the Central Plains by the court. At that time, the Qin army could take the opportunity to capture a large area of Shaanxi, and after the wings were full, everything was easy to do. ”

Hearing this, Bai Qi nodded again and again: "You're right." It's time to look at the big picture. Besides, the peasant army in Shaanxi did limit the development of the Qin army. Everyone recruits together, and if they recruit more, we will naturally recruit less. Moreover, Shaanxi's financial and material resources cannot afford to support a peasant army of 100,000 people. It's better to send them to the Central Plains. ”

Li Yan said: "I will write a letter immediately, when it gets dark, the two of you, Red Girl and Xiaoqing, take someone to Xi'an, hand it over to the King of Qin, and tell them what I just said." They'll understand. As for the letter, I won't write that. So as not to let Gao Yingxiang see it, he felt guilty. ”

When the red lady heard that she wanted her to go back, she was anxious: "I'm not leaving, your injury hasn't healed yet." I'm not at ease to leave you alone. ”

Li Yan said: "If you don't leave, no one will be able to leave, and Gao Yingxiang will not let me and General Bai go." What's more, King Qin is not a familiar person, even if he brings my letter, they will not send troops. Therefore, only you go. ”

The red lady heard him make sense, but she couldn't rest assured.

Yizhimei said on the side: "Red girl, just go, Li Gongzi will let me take care of it." ”

Xiao Qing's mouth was fast, and he hurriedly said: "We just don't believe you!" ”

Yizhimei's face changed greatly by what she said, and she hid to the side, Xiaoqing said that it was not unreasonable, Li Yan was injured so badly, it was all caused by her.

Seeing that Xiaoqing was talking a little heavily, the red lady glared at her and said, "Miss Mei, don't be careful, you can save Li Gongzi twice, which shows that you are very good to him." ”

Bai Qi also said: "Xiaoqing is just angry, don't take it to heart, after they leave, you have to take care of Li Gongzi more." ”

Yizhimei stopped talking, lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes.

After some discussion, this is the only way to do it now.

In the evening, Gao Yingxiang set up a banquet to shock Li Yan and others. At the banquet, Li Yan took out the letter and showed it to Gao Yingxiang, Gao Yingxiang was very happy and said: "Without further ado, I think it's better to send someone to send it as soon as possible." ”

Li Yan said: "The candidates, we have already decided, they are the red girl and the little green girl." The two of them took the fifty cavalry under General Bai and bypassed Hong Chengchou's men and horses, and they would definitely be able to send the letter to Xi'an as soon as possible. ”

Gao Yingxiang said: "The two girls' families went to deliver the letter, there are many risks along the way, I don't worry, or I will send someone to escort it." ”

Li Yan smiled: "King Chuang doesn't have to worry, there shouldn't be too many people on this errand." There are fifty people to protect, which is enough. ”

Gao Yingxiang was also very relieved to see that Li Yan and Bai Qi were not leaving. To tell the truth, these two girls are not important figures to him and to the Qin army, as long as Li Yan and Bai Qi are in his army, the king of Qin will definitely send troops.

The discussion was decided, and after the red lady and Xiaoqing had dinner, they began to prepare, put away the letter, and brought fifty cavalrymen, and the red lady also changed into black clothes, and quietly went out of the back camp with the fifty cavalry, and went far away.

They made a detour for dozens of miles, and then they turned around and went straight to Xi'an.

At this time, Xi'an City was still full of murderous atmosphere.

Since the break with the peasant army, in order to prevent the peasant army and the official army from attacking the city, the Qin army has strengthened its guards, sent many outposts, and rushed to dozens of miles away to listen to the news, as long as there is the slightest wind and grass, the city will know.

After the peasant army, the Qin army is insufficient, although there is Meixian to respond, but after all, the strength is not strong, for this matter, the king of Qin is very worried.

In the last life, when he was the king of Qin, he never worried about this kind of thing, because the Qin army at that time, with millions of armor and abundant food, was always in a strategic advantageous position. Therefore, what brought King Qin was incomparable self-confidence and strong character.

But at the moment, the situation is very different, and the Qin army does not have any advantages. We can only seize every opportunity to develop our strength.

Zhang Yi suggested that all the people from the surrounding counties of Xi'an should be moved to the vicinity of Xi'an, so that there would be many advantages to being concentrated, which would not only avoid being broken by the official army, but also recruit a large number of strong men.

The King of Qin took this advice, and the people of each county came to several counties near Xi'an.

Because the counties around Xi'an have fought many battles, so the people are scarce, ten rooms and nine empty, these people are not worried about finding a place to settle after they arrive.

Zhang Yi led his subordinates to focus on this work, while Wang Jian selected Ding Zhuang among the people and enriched the troops, and everything was going on in an intense and orderly manner.

In just one month, the Qin army in Xi'an City increased to more than 15,000 people, and the Qin army, which had been scattered in Huayin before, also returned more than 1,000 people, and the Qin army in the entire army was about 6,000 people, and the remaining 10,000 people were recruited by the Ming Dynasty.

There were already officers of all ranks in the Qin army, so it was not difficult to train new soldiers. Throughout the day, there was a burst of training voices outside Xi'an.

But King Qin knew that there was still a long way to go to achieve his wish. According to Bai Qi's skills, as long as he is given 100,000 soldiers, he can be invincible, and if he is given 200,000 soldiers, he can run rampant in the world.

But at present, the Qin army only has more than 10,000 horses.

There is only one thing that makes King Qin feel gratified, and that is Ji Mengdie. She has already set her mind on staying, and she wants to be a Qin person.

Since the last defeat of the official army, Ji Mengdie let Sun Chuanting go, and after coming back, he was depressed for a few days, and then he untied the knot in his heart and devoted himself to the work of training people. King Qin was reluctant to let her show up, but now is not the time to marry the princess, and in King Qin's heart, he is not in love with this young lady to death, the emperor of the Warring States Period, how many people have valued the love of their children? In King Qin's heart, Ji Mengdie is just a girl who likes him, and it is a simple matter to say that marrying to be a princess is also a simple matter, and he can't say how happy he is.

It's just that the Qin army is still in crisis at the moment, and the king of Qin naturally can't marry a wife, which will make people feel that he is a person who is greedy for pleasure.

Since this is the case, he had to let Ji Mengdie go out to toss. Ji Mengdie has been in the official army for a long time, and she is very familiar with the tactics of the official army, which Wang Jian attaches great importance to, and often asks her for advice when training people. Ji Mengdie passed on all his experience to this Qin army.

Since she is not a princess, she can't live in the palace of King Qin at this time, so Wang Jian deliberately set aside a small courtyard in the barracks for her to live, he ordered all the troops to no one to go to the courtyard, not even close to the door, everyone also knows that she is the king of Qin's favorite, who dares to take a look here?

Ji Mengdie specially selected more than a dozen healthy girls as her own soldiers, and taught them martial arts as soon as she had kung fu. Therefore, she lived a full life and was full of vitality every day.

Xi'an City hasn't been so lively for a long time. At the behest of King Qin, many people moved in, and after settling down, they began to cultivate the land, and the manufacturing industry began to develop. The king of Qin also encouraged the merchants in the city to expand their business outward, and even sent cavalry to protect them when they left the country.

As the emperor of Qin, he was well aware of the importance of commerce. Two thousand years ago, the Qin State was isolated from the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, and the culture of the Qin people was not valued by other countries, and their status was low. Therefore, the Qin people needed to import a large amount of Central Plains culture and materials. At that time, merchants from the six kingdoms of Shandong were constantly entering and leaving the Qin state, and trade allowed the Qin people to narrow the cultural gap with the Central Plains.

At this time, development is also very beneficial, if Xi'an City wants to become the foundation of the Qin people's recovery, it must hoard a large number of grain, cloth, weapons, silver, many of these things, many of which can be obtained through commercial trading, not only to attack the city and plunder the land.

The Qin State has developed for hundreds of years, and has a deep understanding of this truth.

In this way, there are more merchants coming and going in Xi'an, and caravans from other places are also coming, and the city is a prosperous scene. The king of Qin had already ordered that no taxes should be levied on these foreign caravans, no cards should be set, and the swords, guns and other weapons brought with them should be handed over when they entered the city, and they would be returned to them when they left the city. This will prevent the spies in the city from hoarding weapons and causing riots.

Unlike other places where the atmosphere is depressed and lifeless, the city of Xi'an is like a paradise at this time.

On this day, King Qin was discussing with Zhang Yi the policy of Tian Mu, and suddenly someone came to report that General Li Kang asked to see him.

King Qin was stunned, he sent Li Dang to take charge of the defense of the four gates, if there was a military situation, Li Dang should have warned a long time ago, the gong sounded on the head of the city, and the wolf smoke was lit, but at this time the city was peaceful, it was not like there was an enemy coming, so why did Li Dare come? The king of Qin ordered Li to dare to come in and speak.

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, which sounded very urgent, and it was Li Kang's footsteps. Zhang Yi's brows furrowed, he knew that Li Kang must have something important.

Sure enough, Li Dang came in with a solemn face, he was not alone, and there were two girls behind him. It is the Red Lady and Xiaoqing.

When King Qin saw the red lady, he was slightly stunned, he knew that these two girls were by Li Yan's side, and they should be in Meixian County at this time, why did they suddenly arrive in Xi'an?

The Red Lady and Xiaoqing saw King Qin, and immediately took out Li Yan's letter, Zhang Yi took it, and handed it to King Qin.

King Qin unfolded a look, immediately stood up, looked at the red lady, and then without saying a word, handed the letter to Zhang Yi, and instructed Li Kang: "Go and call Wang Qian, Shehuai, Ziyi, and Miss Ji, all come here." ”
