Li dared to say: "At least you can hold Hanzhong." [No pop-ups. 】”

Bai shook his head: "We only have 40,000 horses in our hands, and the people and horses left behind in Hanzhong are only a few thousand people, if Zhang Xianzhong wants to sneak attack Hanzhong, there will be no less than 10,000 people, we must divide the troops, at least 10,000 people." This is not the most important thing, you must know that in the art of war, soldiers do not move recklessly, and if they move, they will advance and not retreat. As long as they retreat, the morale of the army will inevitably be weakened. The reason why I don't care about Hanzhong is because the people and horses in our hands are all brought from Guanzhong, and they have no family members or property in Hanzhong, so they don't feel distressed if they lose it. But as long as we divide our troops, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely do his best to kill, you have fought for many years, don't you understand this truth? At the beginning of a big war, as long as one of the men and horses leaves the battlefield, it will immediately affect others. Therefore, we cannot divide our forces. ”

Li Dare listened, and although he agreed, he was still worried: "General, do you want to report this matter to the King of Qin and ask him to send men and horses into Hanzhong to defend in Guanzhong?" I mean, once Hanzhong is lost, it will also have adverse consequences for our advance. ”

Bai Qi said: "There are not enough people and horses in Guanzhong, so there is no need to trouble King Qin." Don't worry, when we defeat Zhang Xianzhong, the danger in Hanzhong will be solved. ”

Li dared not say anything more, but he was just suspicious in his heart. Bai Qi wrote a letter to the King of Qin, asking him to come to the army on the matter of Tang Sai'er.

Just about to write a letter, suddenly the Chinese army came to report that there were guards of the King of Qin in the Guanzhong, and they came to deliver the message. Bai Qi hurriedly welcomed in, and there were more than a dozen people from the guards, led by a captain, who brought not a clear decree, but a secret decree of the king of Qin.

Bai Qi naturally didn't dare to open his eyes in public, he arranged for these guards to go down to rest, and then he started to watch the secret decree, this look, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and ordered Li Dare to step forward and hand over this secret decree to him to see.

Li Dang looked at it and said with a smile: "The king and we really want to go together." ”

It turned out that what the secret decree said was Tang Sai'er's matter.

After Li Yan returned to Guanzhong, he immediately reported the truth to King Qin, although he did not talk to Tang Sai'er in Chengdu, let alone talk in private, but he left Xiao Liu'er, which was a wonderful move. In fact, he didn't leave Xiao Liu'er alone, and several cronies didn't leave Chengdu, all to be a helper for Xiao Liu'er and pass the news to Guanzhong.

Xiao Liu'er was by Tang Sai'er's side, and everything he saw and heard, Li Yan received the news in Guanzhong, so he immediately suggested that King Qin should recruit Tang Sai'er back.

Of course, these news also include Tang Sai'er's suggestion that Zhang Xianzhong sneak attack Hanzhong.

Li Yan was a smart man, and he knew that this was Tang Sai'er showing his value to King Qin, in other words, to increase his worth, waiting for the buyer. She is issuing a declaration to the world, she Tang Sai'er is capable of causing trouble for the Qin army, if you don't accept it, there will definitely be other princes who come to recruit her.

If Tang Sai'er did not defect to the King of Qin, no matter who he threw himself into, he would become a fierce opponent of the Qin army.

Li Yan said this to King Qin, and after hearing this, King Qin was very indifferent: "Gongzi Li, the last time you went to lobby, you didn't say that you would definitely bring her back, in fact, it was impossible. Therefore the king did not give an account of the matter. And Miss Tang's return to Qin is a big event, and for her, it is far from enough to rely on the meaning conveyed by Li Gongzi. Whether she comes back or not depends mainly on the attitude of this king. You can rest assured, this kind of talent, I, Qin people, will never let it go. Originally, when Miss Tang was in Guanzhong, because she had no military exploits, she couldn't be crowned official, which was also one of the reasons why she was leaving, this time she helped you successfully persuade Zhang Xianzhong, she was a hero, and Lone immediately issued an order to seal her official position, but this is a secret decree, which needs to be announced after she successfully returns to the Qin army. ”

Li Yan nodded in gratitude.

The King of Qin sent his own guards to pass the edict to Bai Qi, and then asked Li Yan: "Zhang Xianzhong must have adopted Miss Tang's strategy and is preparing to attack Hanzhong, what do you think about this?" ”

Li Yan said: "This is a wonderful move, once Zhang Xianzhong takes Hanzhong, it will form a pincer attack on Bai Qi's army, and at the same time cut off Bai Qi's way back." Because of this, Zhang Xianzhong was very happy and did not suspect Tang Sai'er. At this time, General Bai Qi must have known about this, I think he is a famous general through the ages, and there will be a way to deal with it. ”

King Qin frowned: "Once Hanzhong is lost, as you said, the tens of thousands of horses entering Sichuan, Chengdu Jiancheng in front, and a sneak attack army in the back, will collapse if it is not handled properly." And Gu is more worried that if Bai Qi can't capture Chengdu and occupy Sichuan in a short period of time, and wait for Li Dingguo to return to the army to rescue, then there will be no chance. ”

Li Yan still believed in Bai Qi: "King, since you have sent Bai Qi as the commander, it means that you attach great importance to this battle, there is a way to be a general, and the king's order is not subject to it, you must firmly believe that General Bai Qi will withstand the pressure of all parties and win this battle." ”

King Qin nodded: "If Gu didn't have this certainty, he wouldn't have poured out the strength of his whole army to attack Sichuan." Even so, Li Gongzi, you still draw a few thousand people from the people guarding Xi'an to defend Hanzhong, as long as you hold the two cities of Hanzhong and Nanzheng, you can be safe. ”

Li Yan arched his hand and said: "Obey the order, the minister will go to transfer troops, and tomorrow he will rush to help Hanzhong." ”

The will came to Bai Qi's place, Bai Qi and Li Dang were relieved to see that Li Yan was ready to enter Hanzhong to defend, although Bai Qi said that he didn't want Hanzhong anymore, if he might hold it, he would still hold it well. There are Li Yan and his men there, and I believe that Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses will not be able to capture Hanzhong in a short period of time.

As for Tang Sai'er's affairs, it was clearly explained in the will, first of all, to ensure that Tang Sai'er could return to the Qin army smoothly, for her merits, the King of Qin gave great affirmation, and the will mentioned that after Tang Sai'er returned to Qin, he could choose between civilian and military positions, both in politics and in the army.

Just looking at this purpose, it has already given Tang Sayer enough face. When did King Qin be so polite to an outsider?

Bai Qi was relieved, and he immediately ordered Li Dang to inform Tang Sai'er of the news, so that she could calm down first, and then find a way to get out.

Li Dang ordered the soldiers who sent the letter back to go to Chengdu again and hand over the news to Xiao Liu'er.

These people only rested for half a day, then set off overnight, and ran back to Chengdu, after seeing Xiao Liu'er, they told the secret matter, Xiao Liu'er was also very happy, in this way, Miss Tang's heart to return to Qin should be settled, and the next thing is how to get out.

However, this is not an easy task.
