Tang Sai'er listened to the news brought by Xiao Liu'er, smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and asked him to go down to rest, and then Tang Sai'er called his younger brother Tang Hu and told him what King Qin had decreed, Tang Hu was very happy: "Sister, in this way, we can return to the Qin army openly." 【Fengyun Reading Network. King Qin must make his sister a big official. ”

Tang Sai'er was very calm: "Don't worry, I still have to see Bai Qi's countermeasures." If the Qin army can't deal with Zhang Xianzhong, we will not be able to follow the king of Qin. ”

Tang Huyi frowned: "I think the King of Qin is much stronger than Zhang Xianzhong, since the Qin army started, it has been seven or eight years, you see how steadily the development of the people, at the beginning there were only 10,000 horses, not even a foothold, but in just a few years, it accounted for the entire Guanzhong, as well as Hanzhong, plus Henan, the King of Qin has restored most of the previous Qin State." As long as Sichuan is taken again, who can stop the king of Qin from descending on the world? ”

Tang Sai'er said: "The Qin army is developing very fast, and the King of Qin is also a Ming monarch, but Zhang Xianzhong has too many men and horses after all, no matter how capable Bai Qi is, it is not easy for tens of thousands of Qin troops to capture the entire Sichuan." What they most urgently want is to kill or capture Zhang Xianzhong alive as soon as possible, as for Chengdu, it doesn't matter if they can fight it or not. ”

Tang Hu said: "How easy is it to catch Zhang Xianzhong? ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Only by capturing Zhang Xianzhong can Bai Qi force Li Dingguo to surrender, if Zhang Xianzhong escapes, and Li Dingguo is a teacher, and he turns around and attacks Sichuan, it is more than 200,000 horses, and the Qin army can't stop it no matter what." And if Zhang Xianzhong died, Li Dingguo might set himself up as the king, and under the banner of avenging Zhang Xianzhong, he would counterattack Sichuan. In short, Bai Qi can only have a chance of winning if he captures Zhang Xianzhong alive. ”

Tang Hu said: "Zhang Xianzhong must also understand this, he will not take the initiative to send it to the door." ”

Tang Sai'er smiled: "So we are not in a hurry, this scene has just begun, how to sing it depends on the outcome of the battle between the two sides." If as expected, Zhang Xianzhong will send troops to fight in the next few days, at this time the Qin army has arrived in Jiangyou, the important town on the periphery of Chengdu, only Mianzhu, he will definitely stick to Mianzhu, and will send Sun Kewang to lead troops to attack Hanzhong. ”

Tang Hu said: "What about us? Will it be taken to Mianzhu by Zhang Xianzhong? ”

Tang Sai'er said: "No way. Zhang Xianzhong is not very at ease with me, if he takes me to Mianzhu, he must always guard against me, lest I and the Qin army should be in harmony, so I think that he will leave us in Chengdu, you know, he also has a godson Liu Wenxiu by his side, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely send Liu Wenxiu to guard Chengdu and keep an eye on us at the same time. As long as he holds Mianzhu, the Qin army will not be able to fight Chengdu, and even if we want to cooperate with the outside and sacrifice Chengdu, the Qin army will not be able to take over. ”

Tang Hu nodded again and again. The two sisters and brothers were discussing, and suddenly a palace guard came to pass the decree, Zhang Xianzhong was already preparing to drive the imperial expedition and go to guard Mianzhu, and he left Tang Sai'er in Chengdu, the prime minister's government affairs, and Chengdu's military affairs were handed over to Liu Wenxiu, and Zhang Xianzhong ordered Tang Hu to follow him to Mianzhu, and after seeing the order, he immediately went to the imperial camp to obey the order.

Tang Sai'er's heart sank, and he secretly thought that Zhang Xianzhong was taking his brother as a hostage, as long as he had any changes in Chengdu, Tang Hu would immediately fall to the ground.

Tang Hu also understood the meaning, looked at Tang Sai'er, Tang Sai'er was very calm, and said to prepare some clothes for his brother, and ask the herald to eat tea outside, and wait for a while.

The two sisters and brothers returned to the bedroom, and Tang Sai'er said while wrapping Tang Hu's clothes: "Zhang Xianzhong is taking you as a hostage, you should be careful around him." Tang Hu said: "That's natural, but if the two of us are separated, I won't be able to protect my sister." ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Don't be afraid, I will secretly send my brother to the vicinity of Mianzhu to inquire about the news, if I want to make a move, I will definitely notify you in advance." ”

Tang Hu said: "But Xiao Liu'er said that the brothers we brought have secretly taken refuge in Zhang Xianzhong, and we have no credible people at hand." ”

Tang Sai'er said: "The people sent by General Li Dang can be used. And Xiao Liu'er has a response in the city, once I want to leave, I can get out at any time. You don't have to worry about me, go quickly, lest the people outside be suspicious. ”

Tang Hu came out with a bag of clothes and went to the imperial camp with the herald.

Tang Sai'er then also went to the palace and came to find Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong was really ready, he mobilized people from several counties around Chengdu, gathered 25,000 or 6,000 people, and sent troops to Mianzhu.

In addition, Chengdu also left 8,000 men and horses, and ordered Liu Wenxiu to defend Chengdu, and the whole city was under martial law and curfew from that day, and it was strictly guarded, and J was not allowed to mix in to create chaos.

At the same time, Zhang Xianzhong ordered Sun Kewang to take his headquarters of 20,000 horses and horses to make a detour to attack Hanzhong.

Sun Kewang had already led 20,000 horses out of Chengdu an hour ago and went to Hanzhong to kill.

When Zhang Xianzhong saw Tang Sai'er, he was very affectionate, praised her plan repeatedly, and at the same time issued an order that he would go to Mianzhu by himself, and the Prime Minister's letter would be equivalent to his own jade seal, as long as Tang Sai'er agreed to the government affairs, just follow it.

All in all, Zhang Xianzhong regarded Tang Sai'er as his own Xiao He.

However, Zhang Xianzhong did not hand over the military power of Chengdu to Tang Sai'er, so Tang Sai'er could only handle daily government affairs, but he couldn't transfer a single soldier.

All the transfer and distribution power of horses was given to Liu Wenxiu.

Tang Sai'er naturally wouldn't fight for this, she thanked her and said to Zhang Xianzhong: "Your Majesty, the Mianzhu city wall is not too strong, after you go, you should fight while building, if necessary, you can go out of the city to fight, drag the Qin army, and never let them kill into the city." ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed: "This Lao Tzu understands that the Qin army and horses are only forty or fifty thousand, Lao Tzu with more than 20,000 people, plus the existing thousands of people in Mianzhu, is enough to match, and when Sun Kewang enters Hanzhong, Bai Qi will panic, and then it will be his death." ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Once the Qin army divides or retreats, Your Majesty must not hesitate to attack the whole army immediately, if this battle is won, we can annex Hanzhong in one fell swoop in the next step, and then take advantage of the emptiness of Guanzhong, it is also possible to capture Guanzhong." ”

Zhang Xianzhong was very excited: "Guanzhong is our hometown, and Lao Tzu wants to kill him back in his dreams." You can rest assured, as long as there is an opportunity, Lao Tzu will not let it go. ”

He pondered for a while, and then said: "As for your brother, don't worry, the prime minister, I won't let him take the lead, and I took him there this time to let him go through the experience, so that he can be promoted in the future." Otherwise, my subordinates won't be convinced. ”
