King Qin continued: "Since it is to restore the king's homeland, how can Lone retreat from the enemy at this critical moment? In fact, Gu has already thought about it, and after laying Jingbian, Gu, the King of Qin, is justified, so I must go in person. [No pop-ups. 】”

Wang Jian understood King Qin's temper and knew that what he decided would definitely not be changed. But he was too worried, so he still persuaded: "The king, the minister knows that persuasion cannot change your mind, but I still want to say, I will win this battle, please sit in peace and stability in the city of Xi'an, what the king wants to do is to command the overall situation, and what he has to face is the general trend of the world, not to face specific enemies." ”

King Qin smiled: "I understand your intentions, this is good, I will go with General Wang Qian, but I will not go to the front line, only supervise the battle in the rear army, this is always okay." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, King Qin took a step back, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and it was good to think about it, King Qin was supervising the battle in the back, and the soldiers of the Qin army must be fighting to the death, and the certainty of victory was greater. So they nodded their heads.

Bai Qi said: "According to the ministers, all the Praetorian Guards in the city are attached to the king, and it is best for the princess to go with them." King Qin smiled: "Even if I don't let her go, she will definitely follow if she breaks her head." Well, with the princess following, you can rest assured. ”

In this way, Wang Qian's plan was decided by King Qin. Wang Jian personally went to the barracks, selected the most capable and brave Qin soldiers, selected a total of 12,000 people, and the remaining more than 10,000 people, commanded by Bai Qi, to hold Xi'an, in addition to Ji Mengdie and the Red Lady also picked 500 people in the Women's Army, as the personal guards of the King of Qin, these 500 people are not trivial, they are all cavalry, and do not use spears and knives, each person is the same, with twelve flying knives behind their backs, it is very powerful, these women's army flying knife stunts, are all learned with the Red Lady, within 20 steps, the knife is not in vain.

The women's army is inside, the Praetorian Guard is outside, a total of 3,000 people, Ji Mengdie believes that with these 3,000 people to protect the king of Qin, even if the official army has ten times more people, it will not be able to win the king of Qin.

These 12,000 people, when they heard that the King of Qin was on an expedition with them, were all very excited. Needless to say, the Qin people who were resurrected with the King of Qin, they all regarded the King of Qin as an immortal, and the same was true for other soldiers, after all, the great name of Qin Shi Huang, almost everyone in Guanzhong knew that it was a once-in-a-lifetime blessing to be able to fight side by side with this emperor two thousand years ago.

Therefore, the morale of the Qin army was very high.

On the evening of the third day, everything was cleaned up, Wang Jian was the commander, and he was fully responsible for the expedition, and the king of Qin did not participate in the command, so Wang Jian gave an order, and 12,000 people left Xi'an City, came north, and rushed to Huangling.

After entering Huangling City, seeing Zhang Gong, and meeting with the 4,000 Qin army, Wang Jian instructed the army to bring only ten days' dry food, as light as possible, and after three days, it must rush to Jingbian City.

Wang Jian left only 1,000 men to guard Huangling City, and then took all 15,000 men and horses to Jingbian.

Such a big move, of course, can't be hidden from the officials and soldiers.

Wei Baichuan let out a long sigh since he drove away Shi Kefa, although he still had a trace of doubt about this matter, but he would rather believe that he had it than that he didn't, once Shi Kefa really colluded with the Qin army, then not only Jingbian would be lost, but his life would also be in danger. Although Jingbian City lacks Shi Kefa and a think tank, he has a lot of men and horses, almost the same as the Qin army, so it is not a problem to defend Jingbian.

On this day, Wei Baichuan was chatting with his lieutenant generals, and suddenly ran into a report: "Commander, there is an important military situation." Wei Baichuan was startled and hurriedly asked, "Report it." ”

The detective said: "The Qin army has gathered tens of thousands of horses, and the momentum is violent, and it is coming to Jingbian, and it is almost to Qingyang Town at this time." ”

Wei Baichuan asked urgently: "How many people are there?" ”

Detective reported: "There are no more than 13,400 people, and I also saw that the army was holding a black royal flag." ”

Wei Baichuan was taken aback: "Black King Flag? Could it be ......" Vice General Li on the side said: "Could it be that their King of Qin is here in person?" Wei Baichuan nodded: "It must be, otherwise I wouldn't hang the king's flag." He glanced at the report: "If you go to investigate again, you must find out the truth." ”

After the report went out, Wei Baichuan immediately ordered that everyone should be on standby and not go out of the city to fight. Everything must be done according to his military orders.

After he finished the order, he was wondering in his heart: This King of Qin has always had no precedent for personal conquest, what is the matter today? Could it be that there are ghosts among them?

Wei Baichuan said his doubts, and several lieutenants on the side smiled and said: "What does it matter what King Qin and King Zhao, isn't there only more than 10,000 people in the Qin army?" We have more than 30,000 men and horses, and Jingbian City is very strong, where are you afraid of him? As long as we hold it for a while, the Qin army will not be able to supply food, you know, they are thousands of miles away from Xi'an to here, how to transfer grain! ”

Wei Baichuan was right when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he said: "No, the Qin army is a division of a hundred battles, how can it not understand the truth that food supply is not easy?" They must be trying to solve the problem quickly, hmph, how can I fall for you? Pass the order, and those who dare to go out of the city to face the enemy will be beheaded immediately. ”

He made it clear that he would defend the city and never go out of the city to fight with the Qin army. Last time, he learned Wang Qian's power, this time he said that he wouldn't go out, if your Qin army has the ability, even if you enter the city, if you don't have this ability, get out of it as soon as possible.

The city wall of Jingbian City has been built over the years, it is one zhang thick, the outside is full of stones, it is watered with glutinous rice juice, it is very strong, it can withstand the bombardment of cannons without collapsing, Wei Baichuan knows that the Qin army is coming from afar, and it is impossible for the army to carry cannons, so there is nothing to worry about.

After the military order was handed down, the entire Jingbian City immediately sounded the sound of drums and horns, and the officers and soldiers of each battalion were neatly dressed, holding swords and guns, patrolling the city, standing guards, and those officers and soldiers who were going to the city to prepare for battle, carrying bundles of bows and arrows, ash bottles, and 10,000 enemies to the city.

Wei Baichuan personally went to the southern city, stood at the head of the city, and looked into the distance, sure enough, under the reflection of the sun, there was a large dark cloud in the distance slowly moving here, it was countless black-clothed soldiers, holding high the Xuan Banner of Daqin, approaching step by step.

The fierce battle is about to begin.

About seven or eight miles away from the city, the Qin army stopped and began to settle down the village. Wei Baichuan looked at him coldly, unmoved, he made up his mind in his heart, no matter whether the Qin army attacks or retreats, I will not go out of the city. After the last field battle, he understood this truth, and he would never fight with the elite and brave Qin army outside the city.

As long as the Qin army runs out of food, they will naturally retreat without a fight, and when the time comes, they can go to the court and boast greatly.

Of the 30,000 officers and troops in the city, Wei Baichuan left 6,000 people to defend the other three gates, and he personally led 24,000 people to defend the south gate, he arranged 4,000 people at the head of the city, and the remaining 20,000 people stayed in the city, not far from the south gate, and could go to the city for reinforcements at any time.

Although this move is a bit of a sign of weakness, it is much more cost-effective than rushing out of the city recklessly and falling for the tricks of the Qin army.

Speaking of the Qin army, Wang Jian and Zhang Gong took the front army and drove to a place not far from the city with a swagger, and began to camp, while camping, they made the sergeants laugh loudly and mock the officers and soldiers.

Some Qin soldiers came not far from the edge of the city, shouted and cursed at Jingbian City, calling Wei Baichuan's name by name, and let him go out of the city to die.

A lieutenant general was furious when he heard this, and said to Wei Baichuan: "Dashuai, the anti-thieves are so arrogant, which one of them should you put us in your eyes, please give me a team, I will rush over while they are camping and kill them by surprise." ”

Wei Baichuan glared: "You didn't hear my military order, did you?" Come on, pull it down and beat twenty military sticks. ”

Seeing that Wei Baichuan was really angry, others didn't dare to say anything, and everyone also understood that the Qin army under the city must be tempted out of the city by acting like this, and Wei Baichuan was not fooled, and it was right.

The Qin army under the city scolded for a while, and when they saw that there was no movement, they were also deflated, and at this time the Qin army camp was also set up, and these people went back to the camp.

Vice General Li secretly thought that at this time, Shi Kefa was expelled, and he wanted to show it, so he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Marshal, the Qin army is coming from Guanzhong, the road is far away, it must be a lack of people and horses, can we send a group of men and horses out to rob the camp tonight?" ”

Wei Baichuan didn't get angry when he saw that it was Vice General Li, he thought for a while: "No, Wang Jian is very powerful in using troops, what we think of, he must also want to get." In the Qin military camp tonight, it must be heavily guarded, and it will not be cheap. I have decided that I will not leave the city alive or dead, and I will just wait for the Qin army to run out of food, and it will not be too late to fight. ”

Vice General Li nodded again and again: "It's still the marshal who thinks thoughtfully." The last general has lost his mouth. ”

Wei Baichuan listened and was very proud.

Not to mention that he was waiting for the battle, not to mention Wang Qian, after setting up the camp, he came to see the king of Qin, at this time the king of Qin was already in the king's tent in the back camp, Ji Mengdie ordered a hundred women's army around the big tent to strictly protect the safety of the king of Qin.

As soon as Wang Jian entered the tent, the king of Qin immediately gave him a seat and invited him to sit down. Wang Jian thanked him and sat down before saying: "King, as expected, Wei Baichuan was afraid of being ambushed, and he may not dare to fight with my Qin army in the field, so he didn't dare to go out of the city, it seems that the Qin army frightened the officials and soldiers in the city." ”

King Qin said: "10,000 Qin troops, actually scared 30,000 officers and soldiers dare not fight, if you want to come to this Jingbian City, it will be obtained by my Qin army." General, when can your plan begin? ”

Wang Jian said: "In any case, we must lure the officers and soldiers out of the city, we don't have much food, if we can't open Jingbian City within seven days, our army will starve." So the sooner the better, and the last general wants to start planning tomorrow. ”

King Qin nodded: "You go and arrange it, and when the arrangement is complete, you will report to me." ”
