At this time, when Bai Qi heard that Fan Ju had left the official and military base camp in Xi'an, and took a group of men and horses to Tongguan to guard the town alone, he was stunned in his heart. [Full text reading. 】

Bai Qi knows Fan Ju best, he knows that this person is cunning, and extremely selfish, and he never does anything that is not good for himself, the official army is under the city of Xi'an, nearly 100,000 people, there is no doubt that it is the safest place, but why did Fan Ju suddenly change his normal state and lead 2,000 men and horses alone to guard Tongguan?

Is this a ploy?

Bai Qi soon realized that this must be Fan Ju's strategy. In the past few days, he has been rushing east and west, fighting in the south and in the north, which has stirred up the officers and soldiers in Guanzhong to be uncertain, suspicious, and a little flustered, Xiong Wencan took over from Sun Chuanting, just to prepare to storm Xi'an, and at the same time, he will not fail to take measures on his side.

Fan Ju's sudden departure and stationing in Tongguan is likely to be a bait to lure himself into being fooled.

Of course he can't fall for this.

That night, Bai Qi walked out of the tent and looked in the direction of Tongguan, he knew that his enemies in his past life and this life were there.

Wang Bao walked behind him lightly and asked softly, "General, what are you thinking?" ”

Bai Qi said indifferently: "I'm thinking about Tongguan, Fan Ju is there." ”

Wang Bao said: "I have already heard what the spies said, and it is said that there are only 2,000 people under Fan Ju. Bai nodded: "Yes, and we have 5,000 men, more than twice as many as him." Wang Bao said: "If we sneak attack Tongguan in the starry night, we will definitely succeed and destroy Fan Ju, a thief." ”

Bai Qi was silent for a moment before he said, "But if we really go to Tongguan, it must be us who are destroyed." Wang Bao has been fighting with Bai Qi for a long time, and he has gained a lot of experience, so he said: "What the general means is that Fan Ju led such a small number of men and horses to guard Tongguan, it is a plan. In order to lure you into the bait. Bai Qi said: "In addition to this, I can no longer think of why Fan Ju's treachery would break away from the official army in Xi'an." ”

Wang Bao said: "What the general thinks about is that we won't take the bait." Let the guy surnamed Fan wait there. ”

Bai Qi shook his head lightly: "You must know that these days, we have gained the upper hand everywhere, and we have been able to sneak attack the officers and soldiers easily, and we have won battles in a row, but I think this is not a good thing." ”

Wang Bao smiled: "General, in this way, is it a good thing to defeat the battle?" ”

Bai Qi said: "I don't mean that, military operations, it's better not to be too smooth, too good start, generally will not have too good results." I think at this time, Xiong Wencan has already rearranged his people, and his next move, on the one hand, is to storm Xi'an City, and on the other hand, it is likely to send heavy troops to pursue us. Because of our existence, we have greatly threatened the back of the officers and soldiers. Xiong Wencan is not a fool, he must pull out our nail. ”

Wang Bao said: "We focus on attacking, mainly three places, Xi'an, Huayin and Tongguan, now the officers and soldiers under Xi'an City have been alert, it is not easy to attack, and Tongguan has Fan Ju there to lay a trap, and you can't go, only Huayin can fight." ”

Bai Qi smiled: "Even you can think of it, Xiong Wencan can't think of it?" ”

Wang Bao touched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "What the general said is that my head is made of mush, and it is indeed not as good as Xiong Wencan's head that has read books." ”

Bai Qi patted him on the forehead: "But then again, a wise man has a thousand thoughts, and he must make a mistake, not to mention that Xiong Wencan is not a wise man, his mistake has long been doomed." ”

Wang Bao was stunned: "General, what do you mean by this?" ”

Bai Qi said: "Since he recruited Zhang Xianzhong and others, his failure has been inevitable. ”

Wang Bao was puzzled: "General, recruit Zhang Xianzhong, break through the sky, Cao Cao and others, is it Xiong Wencan's credit?" How can you say it is a failure? ”

Bai Qi said: "Because he doesn't know Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Cao, these people." ”

Wang Bao smiled: "You say so, does the general know about them?" ”

Bai Qi said: "I naturally understand, and my evaluation of them is very simple, just one sentence." Wang Bao asked, "What words?" Bai Qi said: "This is a group of lawless thieves, living is to rebel and kill, this is their only happiness." ”

Wang Bao smiled dumbly: "The general is really to the point. ”

Bai Qi retracted his gaze and shook his head gently: "But I have one more worry, that is, Xi'an City." ”

Wang Bao said: "Didn't you say that Xi'an City is foolproof? Bai Qi said: "Soldiers, murder weapons, soldiers are in danger, who can be foolproof?" Xiong Wencan fought with his life and stormed Xi'an City, in case the city could not resist it, and the official army of 100,000 horses and horses attacked the city, then everything was over...... Wang Bao said: "Our 5,000 men and horses can still start to work." ”

Bai Qi said: "The only thing I'm worried about is that Xiong Wencan is desperate, abandoning Tongguan and Huayin, concentrating all the horses, and storming Xi'an day and night. But the reason why Sun Chuanting was replaced was because he besieged but did not attack, and the court couldn't wait, so as soon as Xiong Wencan came, he would inevitably change Sun Chuanting's strategy and storm the city. But at this time, he sent Fan Ju with 2,000 people to guard Tongguan alone, which was clearly a trap and lured me to the bait. ”

Wang Bao smiled: "Let's just not be fooled." ”

Bai Qi shook his head lightly: "If we don't be fooled, Xiong Wencan will free up his hands and concentrate people to attack Xi'an, I don't think it is better to fulfill his wish." ”

Wang Bao was taken aback: "General, what are you going to do?" ”

Bai Qi said: "I want to attack Tongguan." Wang Bao was stunned: "You still want to go knowing that it is a trap?" Bai Qi smiled: "In my judgment, there must be an official cavalry ambush around Tongguan, just waiting for me to go." Wang Bao nodded: "He Xiong Wencan wants to concentrate heavy troops to copy our back road when we attack Tongguan, once we are surrounded under Tongguan, it will not be a good thing." Bai Qi said: "This is natural." Therefore, when we go, we need to plan well. ”

Wang Bao thought for a while: "General, let's attack Tongguan, the risk is too great, I think it's better to fight Xiong Wencan under the city of Xi'an, he wants to attack the city, let's make trouble in the back, which will also give the Qin brothers in the city a boost." ”

Bai Qi said: "The Qin army doesn't need to be cheered, Wang Jian is a great general, with more than 20,000 people under his command, and more than 100,000 people in the city, Xiong Wencan can't attack the city in a short time." But if we go, Xiong Wencan will concentrate his forces against us. The stakes are greater. ”

Wang Bao stopped talking.

Bai Qi put his hands behind his back, walked a few times on the flat ground, made up his mind in his heart, and ordered: "That's it, Wang Bao, you take two thousand men and horses as a vanguard, quietly enter the Tongguan, send more scouts on the road, investigate the movements of the officers and soldiers, and once you find that there are officials, soldiers and horses in ambush, immediately stop advancing, and report to me." I will lead three thousand men behind you, and I may echo. ”

Wang Bao arched his hand: "Obey the order." ”

He immediately selected two thousand cavalry, took advantage of the night, quietly marched towards Tongguan, Bai Qi with three thousand cavalry twenty miles behind him, not far away.

Like scorpions stalking in the dark, two groups of centaurs quietly approached their prey.

Wang Bao sent hundreds of scouts along the way, dozens of miles away to investigate, within a radius of dozens of miles, any movement, can be detected.

At this time, Fan Ju had already entered Tongguan and settled down, and he made arrangements for his men and horses, so that these people could guard the checkpoint tightly and not be careless.

Gan Yue asked, "Sir, do you think Bai Qi will come to attack Tongguan?" ”

Fan Ju smiled proudly: "It's impossible." Gan Yue was stunned: "Why?" Fan Ju said: "Bai Qi is a smart man, the war is especially treacherous, I alone with two thousand people, guarding Tongguan, Bai Qi will not think about the reason, once he thinks clearly, how can he throw himself into the net and come to die?" ”

Gan Yue suddenly realized: "The plan that Mr. gave to Xiong Wencan is to get out." ”

Fan Ju nodded: "Sun Chuanting is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he must have seen that my ability is not under him, nor under Hong Chengchou, and he is not his cronies, just because I have made great contributions to Gao Yingxiang, he has no excuse to get rid of me." But I will definitely send my henchmen to watch over me, as long as I make the slightest move, a catastrophe will come, such a place, must not stay for a long time, the sooner you go, the better. ”

Gan Yue was convinced: "It turns out that Mr. left Xi'an, not just because of Xiong Wencan. ”

Fan Ju said: "Now I have soldiers and horses under my command and Tongguan, as long as Xiong Wencan is defeated, I will clean up the defeated soldiers, return to the horse with a shot, and fight a small victory, which can attract the attention of the court, take a step back and say, even if the court does not pay attention to me, as long as there are men and horses under my command, it is strength." In fact, did you find that in the past two years, the court has far less control over the generals under its command, and for those who have strength, such as Zuo Liangyu, Cao Bianjiao, He Renlong and others, they have always turned a blind eye, used to coaxing, and did not dare to take coercive measures, what is the court afraid of? I am afraid that once the management is tightened, these people will not sell their lives, or join the peasant army, won't they lose a lot? ”

Gan Yue nodded again and again: "What Mr. means is that as long as we have soldiers and horses in our hands, the court will have to get used to us and coax us." ”

Fan Ju said: "Not only that, but the court will also greatly seal us." It's best to give a governor or something, a feudal official, with military power and governing power, at that time, it was the time for me Fan Ju to show his talents. ”

Gan Yue said: "But what if Xiong Wencan fought hard and really captured Xi'an?" Didn't he take all the credit? ”

Fan Ju smiled slightly: "With me, can he capture Xi'an so smoothly?" ”

Gan Yue said: "You are far away in Tongguan, can you still control the affairs of Xi'an?" ”
