Chapter 287, Life and Death Tribulation 8

Su Dan nodded again and again: "The general has a good plan." [No pop-ups. But what if Lord Sun comes to attack Xi'an and asks us to answer secretly? ”

Ziyi said: "There must be Sun Chuanting's meticulous work in the city, if he wants to besiege Xi'an, he will definitely give us an order, deceive the city gate, hum, in this way, Xi'an is not guaranteed, the Qin army is destroyed, Sun Chuanting destroyed the Qin army, and the next step should be our turn." Who doesn't know the truth that the bird hides the bow and the rabbit dies and the dog cooks. ”

Su Dan said: "We should think of a countermeasure in advance." ”

Ziyi smiled and said: "It's very simple, if you catch that fine work and give it to Qin Jun, you can not only win the favor of King Qin, but also destroy Sun Chuanting's internal response, isn't it good?" ”

Su Dan was shocked: "In that case, wouldn't Sun Chuanting doubt us?" In case he becomes angry and pokes out our affairs, how can King Qin spare us? ”

Ziyi said: "Don't worry, let's not go out and catch this fine work, let Wang Jian do it." We just need to help him secretly. Su Dan suddenly realized: "This is very good, very good." ”

Ziyi said: "You quickly go and send a message to Li Congzhou, and let him get rid of Li Yan as I said." ”

Su Dan said: "This thing is easy to do, but I don't know how many people Li Dare brought to go, I heard the people in the city spread that the King of Qin sent no less than 15,000 people to relieve the siege of Huayin." ”

Ziyi sneered: "There will never be more than eight thousand people, I have already gone to the military camp to secretly investigate, several battalions of men and horses are there, only one battalion is missing in the south of the city, besides, the Qin army is so fanfare, it is to confuse the official army, thinking that the Qin army is going to come to a decisive battle, at that time, the official army will inevitably turn their attention to Li Kang's army, and then Li Yan can easily withdraw from Huayin." Hmph, this wishful thinking can be hidden from others, but it can't be hidden from me. ”

Su Dan said: "Do we want to make it clear in the letter?" ”

Ziyi smiled coldly: "You must never tell the truth, not only can you not tell the truth, but you also have to help the Qin army and overreport the number of people." I just want Li Yan to lead people to withdraw from Huayin City. ”

Su Dan's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "I see, the general wants Li Congzhou to intercept and kill Li Yan on the road." ”

Ziyi said: "As long as Li Yan dies, we will have one less strong opponent in the future." Su Dan said: "Is it that easy?" You must know that Li Yan withdrew from Huayin City, and there were also 2,000 Qin troops by his side. Li Congzhou's men and horses are only 3,000 people. Ziyi said: "I have already written in the letter that I will not let him fight, but outwit." There is no need to kill many Qin troops, as long as Li Yan's life is taken. ”

Su Dan said: "But if someone recognizes Li Congzhou, wouldn't it be bad for us?" ”

Ziyi said: "Don't worry, Li Congzhou knows what to do." ”

In the darkness of the night, a pigeon flew up from the city and flew out in the direction of Huashan.

Besides, Ji Mengdie and Li Kang, with 6,000 men and horses, made a big noise along the way, made a lot of noise, and soon came to the vicinity of Huayin City.

At this time, Sun Chuanting's brigade had just arrived twenty miles north of Huayin City, He Renlong came to greet him, and talked about the siege battle the day before yesterday, He Renlong boasted that his attack in the past two days had killed at least four or five hundred Qin troops, and the current strength in the city was insufficient.

He was boasting proudly, when a scout suddenly reported: "Lord Futai, a group of thieves and horses from Xi'an has arrived in the north of Huayin City, according to investigation, the enemy army is no more than 10,000 horses." The momentum was very loud, and it looked like it was going to be a decisive battle with our army. ”

Sun Chuanting heard the report, his heart was happy, what he hoped most was that the Qin army would go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with him, if the Qin army retreated into Xi'an, with the thick walls of the high city and held on to him, his tens of thousands of horses would be dragged under the city of Xi'an, and he would not be able to enter the city for a month or two. At present, the Qin army actually sent a main force to relieve the siege of Huayin, just in time to besiege the city and send reinforcements, and eat these 10,000 horses first.

So he asked, "Whose boss?" ”

The scout said: "I don't know very well, I only saw two big flags, one flag has Ji characters written on it, and one flag has Li characters written on it." ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, his heart was sour.

He has a detailed work in Xi'an City, and he has learned that Sun Mengdie has changed his surname, no longer surnamed Sun, but changed his surname to Ji. Then it must be her who came to the decisive battle, and the other surnamed Li should be Li Kang, because Li Yan is his sworn brother, he can't see death without saving, and it is normal for him to come in person.

These two people have an enmity with him, needless to say, Ji Mengdie has already broken off his relationship with him, the last time they met Ji Mengdie made it clear, if they meet in the future, they will be enemies, and Li Dare assassinated himself, he didn't succeed at that time, and he must regret it. The Qin army sent the two of them here, and it seemed that they really had the heart of a decisive battle.

Sun Chuanting ordered the whole army to camp on the spot, not to be careless. At this time, another scout came to report, saying that the Qin army, the centaurs, had discovered Sun Chuanting's main force and was driving over here.

At this time, Fan Ju also arrived, and he was holding a roll of writing paper, which seemed to be passed down by a flying pigeon.

In front of Sun Chuanting, Fan Ju handed him the paper, and Sun Chuanting unfolded it to see that it was Ziyi's own handwriting, which read: Qin soldiers and horses are 20,000, and if you want a decisive battle, Ming Gong still needs to be cautious.

Sun Chuanting's heart sank, it turned out that the Qin army sent 20,000 horses to come, and it seemed that they wanted to open a battlefield under Huayin City and fight to the death with themselves.

The officers and troops he led together totaled 37,000 people, but they were not afraid of the 20,000 horses of the Qin army. What Sun Chuanting is worried about at the moment is Li Yan of Huayin and Tongguan. You must know that there are 2,000 Qin troops in Huayin City, and there are no less than 3,000 Qin troops in Tongguan.

Sun Chuanting thought that the top priority at the moment was to go to Tongguan first.

He immediately ordered Hu Dawei of the rear army to take 7,000 men and horses to take Tongguan first, even if he couldn't take Tongguan, he would trap Shehuai in the pass and prevent him from coming to Huayin to help in the war.

Hu Dawei immediately received the order and left with 7,000 men and horses.

He sent this force away, Sun Chuanting felt a lot more at ease, and he ordered He Renlong, with his 3,000 cavalry, to stand in front of the army, in case the Qin army did not set up camp, come to attack.

The officers and troops under Sun Chuanting's rule were strictly drilled, properly coordinated, and all military skills were very excellent, whether it was marching, camping, rearming, or retreating, everything was in order and orderly, and no one panicked at all.

Fan Ju said to Sun Chuanting: "Huayin City, should we attack or not?" ”

Sun Chuanting saw He Renlong leaving, so he sneered: "Sir, do you really think that He Renlong can wipe out four or five hundred Qin troops under a one-day attack?" ”

Fan Ju said: "My lord thinks that General He is falsely reporting his military exploits? ”

Sun Chuanting said: "This person has always had the problem of killing good and risking merit, and this time he didn't even have a head, he said that as many as he killed, it was as many, who can check it?" When my Sun Chuanting was talking about merit, he relied on the number of heads, and he didn't believe the rest. ”

Fan Ju nodded: "My lord thinks that Li Yan's men and horses are still capable of fighting." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Li Yan is not a fool, the Qin army of the brigade is coming to help, and the morale in the city must be high, if you want to say that they will suddenly come out of the city and sneak attack, I am not surprised." Therefore, we must be vigilant. I handed over Huayin City to Mr., who took 3,000 men and horses to closely monitor Li Yan's movements. ”

Fan Ju agreed and walked out of the account.

The direction of the officers and troops began to prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army.

Ji Mengdie and Li Dang came to the outside of Huayin City, at this time Huayin City has not been besieged, but there is a large group of officers and soldiers at the north gate, Li Dare went to the west gate and called the soldiers in the city to open the city.

At this time, Li Yan heard that the Qin army was coming to reinforcements, and immediately rushed to the west gate, and looked down to see that it was Li Kang, and hurriedly ordered the city to be opened and Li Kang to be brought into the city.

Li Kang did not go to the city to rest, but came to the city to meet his brother.

Li Yan said: "Big brother, thank you for coming to reinforce the little brother." I see that there are a lot of people from the Qin army, are you going to fight a decisive battle with the official army here? ”

Li Dang pulled Li Yan to a secluded place on the side, and then said what King Qin meant, Li Yan listened to it, and frowned: "Big brother, it is a bit difficult to evacuate the people of the whole city." There are many old and weak women and children in the city, and they are moving slowly, and if the officers and soldiers divide their troops to attack, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Li Dare listened and smiled slightly: "Brother don't worry, when we came, we had already made preparations in advance, and the army brought thousands of carriages, plus the ones in the city, enough to pull all the people and money and food away." But you have to hurry up and prepare, we, the thousands of people, may not be able to hide from Sun Chuanting for too long. ”

After Li Yan heard this, he thought about it in his heart, the people in the city, about more than 10,000 people, and thousands of carriages, should be able to sit down, but if these people bring their family property, it will not be easy to leave. If you need to come hard, you will move these people out of force.

Time waits for no one, and Li Yan has no better way, so he sent people to go door to door and say, let these people pack their luggage, soft money and food and other things within an hour, and then the Qin army will naturally come to pick them up.

At the same time, Li Yan posted a notice to tell the people of the city that the official army came to attack the city this time, and if it was captured, it was bound to slaughter the city, and if the people did not leave, they would bear the consequences.

As soon as the order was given, there was a sensation in the whole city, and those who wanted to leave packed up one after another, and some people who had connections in the official army and didn't want to leave, so they hid everywhere.

The carriage brought by Li Dang also rushed into the city, and after more than an hour, Li Yan's men and horses began to pick up people from door to door, and those who wanted to leave did not need to pick up, they had already waited in front of the door, and those who did not want to leave closed their doors one after another.

Li Yan didn't have time to care about these people who didn't want to leave, so he ordered the west gate to be opened and prepared to open.

Countless carriages galloped out of the city and headed for Xi'an, and Li Yan led his men and horses to escort them all the way along the main road.
