Li Yan coughed dryly: "This ...... This one...... I know, I know......"

Tang Sai'er saw that he was embarrassed, so he sighed: "It's okay, the fate of the two of us hasn't come yet, but I'll wait." [No pop-ups. Just right now, I can't leave you. ”

Li Yan was stunned: "Miss Tang......"

Tang Sai'er intercepted his words: "It's not that I'm pestering you to death, but you still need my help along the way." She looked at the villagers: "These people are all ordinary people, they have not been trained, and when they meet the officers and soldiers, they will immediately scatter and flee, and when the time comes, you will be a single person again." Therefore, I thought, why don't I escort you to the city of Xi'an, and see that you have entered the city safely, and then I will leave. ”

Li Yan was right when he thought about it, although the villagers he led were quite numerous, they had never fought, and when they met the officers and soldiers, it was really like a flock of chickens meeting wolves, and it was strange if they did not disperse. So he arched his hand to Tang Sai'er: "So, thank you Miss Tang." ”

So the team rested for a day, and set off early the next morning to Xi'an.

Because there were old and young people in the team, and most of these people were not in good health, they walked very slowly, three or four hundred miles, and walked straight for more than twenty days.

Fortunately, Li Yan and the others brought plenty of food, and they were also frugal along the way, only eating one meal a day, and they would be able to hurry.

On this day, they walked fifty miles north of Xi'an, Li Yan ordered them to set up camp, and then sent scouts to Xi'an to investigate.

As soon as everyone set up camp, Tanma came back and said to Li Yan: "Report to Gongzi, Xi'an City has been surrounded by officers and regiments, the four gates are closed, and the large camps of the officers and soldiers are connected together, which is dozens of miles. ”

Li Yan was taken aback: "Have you ever fought?" ”

Tanma shook his head: "No, and it doesn't look like there is any sign of fighting recently, the official army camp is very quiet, the city is very tightly guarded, but there is no movement, and the city wall is intact, maybe the official army has not attacked the city." ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Sun Chuanting doesn't attack the city, it seems that he wants to besiege it for a long time." This trick is very powerful, no matter how much food there is in the city, but there are also many people, sitting and eating empty mountains, I am afraid that it will not take a year, and the food will be exhausted, and it will be self-defeating at that time. ”

Li Yan sneered: "Sun Chuanting can sit still, but the court may not be able to sit still." After a long time, there will be changes. Leave this alone, what matters now is, how do we get into the city? ”

Tang Sai'er said: "We can't enter the city." Sun Chuanting is said to have brought 100,000 horses and horses to surround Xi'an like an iron bucket, and the people in the city can't get out, so we naturally can't get in. ”

Li Yan said: "Yes, besides, what I brought is not a soldier, just some people. ”

He said to Tang Sai'er: "The girl has already sent me to the city, you can go." As for how to get into the city, I'll figure it out. ”

Tang Sai'er said: "No, I said, I have to watch you enter the city before you can leave, at this time the official army is in front, you need more people, I won't leave." ”

Li Yan said: "Forget me begging you, I'll be careful." Tang Sai'er grinned, lowered his voice and said, "Hey, are you afraid that after being with me for a long time, you will like me?" Li Yan shook his head helplessly: "Please don't say such things again in the future, the red girl saved my life, for which she lost her family and everything, I will not let her down." Miss Tang, there are many good men in the world, why do you have to like Li Yan? ”

Tang Sai'er sighed and deliberately narrowed her eyes: "She saved your life, you won't let her down, then I also saved your life, not only saved you, but also helped you recruit people, how can I repay this kindness?" ”

Li Yan was speechless. An embarrassed face.

Tang Sai'er looked at him, and smiled again: "People just said casually, you are embarrassed like this, but I am very satisfied, at least you know in your heart that you owe me a favor." ”

So saying, she hurried her horse back to her tent.

Li Yan was stunned, he remembered what Bai Qi had said to him: In your life, you will always be entangled with love words......

Since he couldn't enter the city, Li Yan had no choice but to withdraw his men and horses to the east. Tang Sai'er was puzzled: "Li Gongzi, if we want to leave Xi'an, we should also go to Meixian County in the west, General Bai Qi is there." Li Yan shook his head: "Xi'an is besieged, Bai Qi will not sit idly by, he must have led his troops to relieve the siege, he will not stay in Meixian, we will go in vain, besides, Sun Chuanting is such a treacherous person, he besieged Xi'an, how can he let Meixian go, at this time Meixian County, there must be officials and soldiers besieging it." ”

Tang Sai'er nodded: "You are right. Where are we going now? ”

Li Yan said: "I don't know, it's best to find a place to settle these people first, and the best place is Huayin." ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Huayin? Now it has been occupied by the official army! Li Yan said: "The focus of the official army's attack is Xi'an, there will not be too many people in Huayin, we will not go into the city, and the people will be placed outside the city, so that they can get food in Huayin City, so that they will not starve to death." ”

The brigade arrived near Huayin City, and Li Yan found a few abandoned villages to live in dozens of miles away from Huayin City, and continued to investigate the military situation.

Within a few days, the spies reported that General Bai Qi had come to Xi'an and had attacked the official camp, causing quite a commotion. Li Yan understood that this was Bai Qi's plan to riot the enemy. Bai Qi did not have many men, and it was impossible to defeat Sun Chuanting's 100,000 officers and troops, so he could only adopt the method of attacking, constantly harassing the officers and soldiers, messing with their military morale, and waiting for the opportunity.

So Li Yan sent more people to look for Bai Qi.

But Bai Qi's subordinates are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and his whereabouts are uncertain, so many people in the official army can't figure out where he is, and Li Yan can't find it. So I went back and forth, looking for more than a month, but I didn't figure out where Bai Qi was.

Fortunately, at this time, the spies heard a news that Fan Ju was ordered by Xiong Wencan to go to guard Tongguan. Li Yan immediately judged that this was a ploy to lure Bai Qi. But Li Yan also thought that Bai Qi knew that it was a plan, would he be fooled?

In any case, he had to send someone to investigate the vicinity of Tongguan.

After a few more days, something unexpected happened, Tanma reported that there was a battle in the direction of Tongguan, and someone might be attacking the city.

Li Yan was taken aback, he immediately understood that Bai Qi was really here, so Li Yan gathered people and horses, all young and middle-aged, and went into battle.

These days, Li Yan has collected displaced people in this area, so after more than a month of hard work, more than 1,000 people came, so he had more than 3,000 people under his command, most of whom were ready to fight. Li Yan took these two thousand, four or five hundred people, and marched towards Tongguan.

Before leaving, he deliberately made a large banner of the Qin army and asked Tang Hu to be the flag officer to intimidate the enemy army.

When Li Yan's forward cavalry came to Tongguan, he saw that there was no one under the pass, and it turned out that Bai Qi had already left, Li Yan was not at ease, and immediately chased after him, just like that, chased all the way down, and finally saved Bai Qi's men and horses at a critical moment.

This is how Li Yan got here.

Bai Qi looked at Li Yan's men and horses, and couldn't help but laugh, it turned out that among the more than two thousand people, only four or five hundred at most could be called soldiers, and the others were all untrained people, how could such people fight, so he said: "Li Gongzi, let's leave quickly, although He Renlong escaped, it is inevitable that he will not send someone to investigate, once the inside story is discovered, the big thing will not be good." ”

Li Yan smiled: "I also have this idea, but where are we going?" ”

Bai Qi thought for a while: "Let's go to Huashan." If you fight against the mountains, you will not be afraid of the siege of the officers and soldiers. ”

Tang Sai'er nodded: "This is the best, if you fight on flat ground, the official cavalry can play to their strengths, we are not opponents." ”

Bai Qi said: "Going to Huashan is only a temporary plan, first rectify the people there, nourish the spirit, and then plan the next move." ”

Li Yan said: "That's it. ”

The two armies will unite and come to Huashan, and Li Yan will send people to let the old and weak people left behind go to Huashan.

Bai Qi and Li Yan walked side by side, and Li Yan asked, "General, how is the situation in Xi'an City and Meixian?" Bai Qi said: "Xiong Wencan has begun to attack the city, he changed Sun Chuanting's strategy, although it is not the best policy, but under the onslaught, no one dares to protect Xi'an unharmed, so I am still very worried." ”

Li Yan said: "What's even more terrifying is that there are still moles in Xi'an City. ”

Bai Qi frowned: "You mean Ziyi?" Li Yan nodded and repeated Tang Sai'er's words, Bai Qi still shook his head: "A spy's words, you can't believe them all, besides, Xi'an City has been besieged for more than two months, if Ziyi wants to cheat the city, he should have succeeded a long time ago." Even if Sun Chuanting doesn't attack the city and has no chance, now Xiong Wencan has begun to attack the city, Ziyi has a chance, why haven't he made a move? ”

Li Yan said: "Maybe Ziyi doesn't have a chance, if you want to deceive the city gate, you need to have a warrant from King Qin, or in other words, Ziyi can only keep one door alone." Bai nodded: "Yes, the king no longer trusts Ziyi, and it is impossible for him to keep one door alone." He never had a chance, so he couldn't scam the city. ”

Li Yan said: "But our news can't be sent to the city, and King Qin still doesn't know about Ziyi." ”

Bai Qi sneered: "Don't worry about this, you and I will join forces, and in the near future, we will break the official army." As soon as the official army is broken, it can be found out whether Ziyi is a traitor. ”

Li Yan thought about it, and he had to do it.

The people and horses passed between Tongguan and Huayin, Bai Qi looked at the direction of Tongguan from afar, and said: "Fan Ju is there." Li Yan said: "Yes, he is there, lead us to the bait." Bai Qi said: "Right now, He Renlong and they must have entered Tongguan, so we still can't attack." Li Yan said: "Sooner or later, we will take it." Bai Qi said: "But I always feel that Fan Ju came to guard Tongguan, not just to lure me into the bait." This person is scheming, and there must be a trick. Li Yan said: "At least when he comes to Tongguan, there will be one less fierce opponent under the city of Xi'an." ”

Bai Qi looked up at the sky, the sky was overcast and dark, as if there was rain, there was a faint thunder in the distance, that was the direction of Xi'an, I don't know if it was the anger of the heavenly prince, or the drums on the battlefield, although he and Li Yan joined forces, but Xi'an City was still besieged by 100,000 officers and regiments, the situation in Guanzhong was even more chaotic and difficult to understand, and the road of the Qin army to regain the world was also very difficult. Everything is still undecided.

Bai Qi and Li Yan immediately looked at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in front of them under the banner of Qin Zi, and their hearts were surging and unsettled.
