Chapter 226, Odd Trick 3
Li Dang hurried to find someone.
At this time, Zhang Yi also finished reading the letter, and her face was very solemn. [Full text reading. 】
King Qin ordered someone to give the red lady Xiaoqing a seat, serve tea, and let them take a breather.
Not long after, Wang Jian and others walked in, these people were originally training people in one place, and as soon as Li Dang arrived, they all called in.
Zhang Yi showed the letter to everyone, and for a while, no one in the room made a sound, and everyone looked at King Qin.
The king of Qin asked them all to sit down, and then said: "Li Gongzi and Bai Qi fell into the hands of Gao Yingxiang, the situation is not good, Gao Yingxiang is taking them hostage and forcing the Qin army to relieve the siege for him." What do you think we should do? ”
Everyone glanced at each other a few times, but they didn't speak immediately, and even Li Dang frowned and looked at Wang Qian. If he wanted to change something else, Li was sure that he was in a hurry and was in a hurry to save his brother, but this matter was unusual, Qin Jun had just broken with the peasant army, and immediately went to help, wouldn't it be too shameless.
Zhang Yi understood what these people thought, and he was the biggest official here, so he said: "It stands to reason that this kind of letter asking for help should be written by Gao Yingxiang, but he asked Li Gongzi to write it, and the meaning is self-evident." General Bai Qi and Li Gongzi are the pillars of our Qin army, if they don't send troops, their lives will be in danger. ”
Wang Jian said: "But if the troops are sent and the siege is lifted, Gao Yingxiang still won't let them go, so what can I do?" ”
Zhang Yi said: "This is very true, and I also have concerns. ”
Ji Mengdie said: "If we want to send troops, we have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to relieve the siege, but also to save the hostages." ”
Li Dang said at this time: "I'll go, if Gao Yingxiang doesn't let go, I will fight with him." ”
Shi Huai said: "I'll go too." ”
Ziyi suddenly said: "Will this be a trick of the official army?" ”
Everyone was stunned, and King Qin said, "Ziyi, how do you say this?" ”
Ziyi said: "It's not that the official army has a plan, I just think that we will send men and horses to relieve the siege, in case the official army sends a group of men and horses to take the opportunity to attack Xi'an, it is a great threat." ”
Wang Jian nodded: "This is extremely true." We can't just relieve the siege for others, but plant ourselves in it, my lord, in my opinion, there should not be too many people and horses to break the siege, in case the officials and troops come to take the city. ”
Li dared to say: "There are fewer people to break the siege, can it play a role?" You know, Hong Chengchou has tens of thousands of horses. Let's go to three or two thousand, and he doesn't pay attention to it. ”
Ji Mengdie was confident: "As long as you don't let the officers and soldiers know how many people we have went." Two thousand people can make twenty thousand people. ”
King Qin nodded: "Miss Ji's words are reasonable, Li Gongzi and Bai Qi, we must save them, if they are relieved of the siege and do not let go, I would rather unite the officers and troops and destroy Gao Yingxiang." ”
The red lady was very moved, because these Qin people did not treat Li Yan as an outsider. She stood up and repeated what Li Yan had told her, and the King of Qin was very happy when he heard it: "Li Gongzi has a far-sighted vision, and from this point of view, it is indeed beneficial for the Qin army for the peasant army to enter Henan and disrupt the Central Plains." ”
Zhang Yi thought for a while: "The situation in the world, the more chaotic the better, if the peasant army can really gain a foothold in the Central Plains, the pressure on the Qin army will be much less." I am afraid that they entered the Central Plains, but they were wiped out by the superior officers and soldiers. You must know that the terrain in the Central Plains is flat, which is conducive to the impact of the official cavalry. ”
King Qin sneered: "Whether they can gain a foothold in the Central Plains or not is not something that my Qin army has to consider." Spread my will, Miss Ji is the commander-in-chief, Li Dang is the deputy, lead the cavalry out of the city, reinforce Gao Yingxiang, be sure to let them open Tongguan and enter the Central Plains. Miss Ji, how many people do you want? ”
Ji Mengdie thought for a while and said, "There are more than 15,000 people in the city right now, including 5,000 cavalrymen, what do you want me to say...... It will be enough for me to bring only two and a half thousand cavalry. ”
King Qin frowned and said, "More than two thousand people, will there be a little less?" Take all the five thousand horsemen with you. They weren't needed to defend the city anyway. ”
Ji Mengdie shook her head: "That's not good, king, we still have to leave some cavalry to guard against the cavalry of the official army." ”
This is very true, Zu Kuan's three thousand Guanning iron cavalry have been constantly harassing the surrounding villages and towns, these people come and go like the wind, and the infantry is in front of them, useless.
King Qin was still not at ease: "Otherwise, you can bring a few thousand more infantry, after all, there are many people, and it is safer." ”
Ji Mengdie's heart was moved, knowing that King Qin was afraid that something would happen to him, so he said: "The king doesn't have to worry, this time we are going to solve the siege, not a decisive battle." can only be regarded as a suspicious soldier. I have a way. ”
Seeing that she had made up her mind, King Qin had no choice but to agree. Zhang Yi immediately wrote a reply letter and asked the red lady to bring it to Gao Yingxiang. It was clearly written in the letter that after receiving Li Yan's letter, the Qin army had sent a fierce general to lead 10,000 horses to relieve the siege.
Even if this letter fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers, it would be enough to scare them.
In addition, King Qin asked the red lady to bring a message to Li Yanbaiqi, asking them to act at the opportunity, as long as they have the opportunity, they will get out immediately, and Ji Mengdie will be their answer.
The Qin people are masters of intrigue and trickery, just to guard against Gao Yingxiang, in case the matter is successful, he will not let people go, and the Qin army also has a backup move under the ambush, so it will not be in vain.
At that moment, the red lady picked up the letter, ate something hastily, led the fifty cavalry with Xiaoqing, and returned.
Here, Ji Mengdie began to select cavalry, prepared more flags and drums, and prepared to go to battle.
When they finished cleaning up, the king of Qin personally came to eat. He brought a glass of wine and handed it to Ji Mengdie: "Success, go early and return early." ”
In just eight words, Ji Mengdie heard it with tears in her eyes, in front of so many people, she couldn't cry, so she took the wine, drank it all, and then whispered: "I'll be back soon......"
Two thousand five hundred cavalry out of the east gate of Xi'an City, Ji Mengdie played a trick, she let these cavalry line up in a single column, one after another out of the city, after leaving the city the cavalry circle, enter through the west gate, and then out of the city from the east gate.
In this way, the people on the street only saw an endless stream of cavalry passing in front of them, and they didn't finish it for half a day, and they didn't know how many people and horses had passed.
In this way, after three turns in a row, Ji Mengdie felt that it was almost enough, so she took all the two thousand five hundred cavalry and headed east.
She is scheming in this arrangement, there will definitely be spies of the officials and soldiers in the city, as soon as the Qin army moves, it will fly to report to the officials and soldiers, and it is impossible to hide it, it is better to use the mouth of the spies to scare the officials and soldiers. After a few turns, in the eyes of the people on the street, about 10,000 Qin cavalry went out of the city, and it won't be long before Hong Chengchou will know that 10,000 cavalry is not a joke, no matter how powerful Hong Chengchou is, he has to be on guard.
Ji Mengdie made a fuss, and it wasn't over, after leaving the city, she ordered all the horses to tie branches to their tails and learn from Zhang Yide of Changbanqiao.
In this way, the people on the road shouted and neighed, the dust was flying, and it was mixed with the sound of gongs and drums, which shook the heavens and the earth, and the momentum was very great, and it really made people unable to see how many people and horses there were.
Li Dang felt funny as he walked, this Miss Ji had a lot of ghost ideas.
In fact, he doesn't read, so he doesn't know, these two items are written in the Three Kingdoms. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he was afraid that he would have few soldiers and would not be able to suppress the scene, so he let his soldiers enter the city during the day and leave the city at night.
As for tying branches to the horse's tail, it was used by Zhang Fei to scare off Cao Bing at Changban Slope.
Ji Mengdie knew this allusion, so she also learned it herself.
She is really in charge of making such a fuss. The fine work in the city immediately used the flying pigeon to pass the book and report it to Hong Chengchou. After Hong Chengchou received the report, he was really taken aback. According to the report, at least more than 7,000 cavalry of the Qin army left Xi'an City and came in this direction.
Hong Chengchou hurriedly sent scouts to investigate, and sure enough, the scouts reported the next day, and on the road more than 100 miles away, there were countless Qin soldiers and horses, arrogant and murderous, and went straight to the official army.
At the same time, he received news that Gao Yingxiang's entire army was preparing for war. Hong Chengchou suddenly realized that this was another time that the peasant army and the Qin army had joined forces. They're going to give themselves a two-sided attack.
Hong Chengchou smiled coldly, and he immediately sent Zuo Liangyu to lead 5,000 men and horses to block the Qin army, and at the same time strictly prevent Gao Yingxiang from coming to sneak attack.
After giving these two orders, he still felt that it was not very safe, so he immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to send Lu Xiangsheng to ask him to lead his troops to come to suppress him. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was dealing with Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng had already entered Shangluo Mountain, and Lu Xiangsheng followed and circled around the Shangluo area. Li Zicheng has few men and horses, and his actions are flexible, Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses are already a little unable to keep up, rather than being dragged down by him, it is better to eliminate Gao Yingxiang together.
At this time, the red lady had returned to Gao Yingxiang's camp, and after reading the letter of King Qin, Gao Yingxiang was very happy, thanked him again and again, and immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for war. His move to start a war was not to fight Hong Chengchou, but to prepare for a sneak attack on Tongguan.
As long as the Tongguan Pass is opened, the brigade can drive straight into the Central Plains. At that time, the reinforcements of the Qin army could also be withdrawn to Xi'an.
The red lady hurriedly came to see Li Yan, in the few days when she was away, Yizhimei served Li Yan, very dedicated, she had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and had some experience in light and severe injuries, so Li Yan did not suffer anything, and the injuries were much better.
Seeing the red lady coming back, Li Yan asked what had happened, and then he was relieved. Bai Qi said: "The Qin army sent more than 2,000 people, it seems that they are suspicious soldiers, and this Miss Ji has thrown herself from the official army, which is a blessing for us." ”
Seeing that there was no Gao Yingxiang in the tent, the red lady said in a low voice: "King Qin asked me to tell everyone that as long as Gao Yingxiang and the official army make a move, we will see the opportunity to get out." Li Gongzi, can your injuries hinder horseback riding? ”
Li Yanyi frowned: "Isn't it a bit early to run at this time?" In case Gao Yingxiang can't enter the Central Plains and is wiped out here, wouldn't it be in vain? At that time, our Qin army will still have to face the main force of the official army. ”
The red lady said: "He can't enter the Central Plains, and you can't help." Besides, once he enters the Central Plains, he won't let us go, what should we do? ”
