Then Bai Qi instructed Li Kang: "General Li, you immediately return to Yuhuang Mountain, go to see Li Zicheng, and tell him that today is July 21, and in nine days, it is the first day of the eighth month, and on that night, we will jointly attack Tongguan, of course, Tongguan cannot be captured, and Li Zicheng's peasant army cannot enter the pass. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】”

Li Dare nodded: "No problem, I'll go." ”

Bai Qi said: "Be careful on the road, this plan is related to the success or failure of the entire war, be sure to see Li Zicheng, and be sure to persuade him to attack Tongguan, if he doesn't move there, let's attack Tongguan alone, the enemy of Huayin is likely to stay still, or only send a small group of men and horses to reinforce." At that time, if we go to attack Weinan, it is likely to be attacked from both sides by the enemies of Xi'an and Huayin, and it will be difficult to get rid of it for a while. Remember, remember. ”

Li Dangyi arched his hand: "The last general will take the order." The news will definitely be delivered, and King Li Chuang will definitely be convinced, so the general can rest assured. ”

Li Yanyi frowned: "General, Li Zicheng's side, as well as Hong Chengchou's officers and soldiers, asked him to suddenly go out of the mountain and attack Tongguan, which is also a big risk." Do you want me to go and talk to him? ”

He was afraid that Li would dare to be stupid and not be able to get to the point.

Bai Qi smiled: "No, Li Zicheng is an understanding person, he will take this into account." And I also believe that he has a way to get rid of Hong Chengchou. Besides, we don't need to let Li Zicheng really fight Tongguan, and when Hong Chengchou arrives, Li Zicheng can retreat in advance. There will be no danger. ”

Li Yan was relieved.

Bai Qi's voice became low: "Next, is our most important action. Our whole army went to fight Weinan, which is the throat of Guanzhong, but the city is very dilapidated, and the city wall has long been destroyed, which is suitable for cavalry impact. The officers and soldiers set up a grain hoarding place there, and there was no wall around it, so they deployed heavy troops. We go to attack in the dark night, we can take a big advantage, as long as Weinan is on fire, Xiong Wencan will inevitably send troops to reinforce, by this moment, our whole army withdraws, pounce on the officers and soldiers in Xi'an, which requires continuous combat, the physical requirements of the officers and soldiers are very high, so these days, we must have a good rest, tell the three armies, we are going to face an unprecedented decisive battle, the opponent is the 80,000 officers and troops under the city of Xi'an. ”

He paused and continued: "This battle is not a battle of one city or one pool, but a battle of life and death. With a victory, the Qin army could completely occupy Guanzhong and force the official army out of Tongguan. Defeated, the Qin army will never turn over. ”

The words have been made very clear, and needless to say, everyone understands the importance of this battle.

Li Dang said goodbye to Bai Qi, only rested for half a day, and then took his four personal soldiers at night, brought more dry food and water, and Pegasus left Huashan and returned to Yuhuang Mountain in Henan.

And Bai Qi and Li Yan began to prepare for the attack, and the order had been given to every soldier, and everyone knew the weight of this order. So those who could fight began to prepare their weapons, sharpen their knives, and the whole camp was full of murderous spirit.

In order to drag down the other three men in Xi'an as much as possible, Bai Qi sent people to rush to Meixian County, so that Lei Sheng came to help in the war, in these months, Lei Sheng blocked the officials and troops from Gansu in Meixian, because there were no famous generals in Gansu, the soldiers were far away from their homeland, and they did not work hard to fight, so it did not take much effort to defeat these rabble. Lei Sheng's men and horses didn't have much to lose.

After receiving Bai Qi's order, Lei Sheng did not dare to delay, and led 5,000 people out of the city the next night, he was afraid that the city would be lost and the people would suffer, so he left some people in advance and asked them to take the people into the mountains and hide for a while, and at the same time he took Li Xiangjun with him, so as not to fall into the hands of the officials and soldiers.

According to Bai Qi's order, Lei Sheng led the army to march at night, camped during the day, quietly approached Xi'an, and set up camp sixty miles west of the city, just waiting for Bai Qi's next order.

However, it was said that Li Kang, with a few personal soldiers, once again passed through the Forbidden Valley, entered Henan, returned to the Jade Emperor Mountain, and soon saw Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng was very happy to see Li Dang coming back, so he asked about the situation, and Li Dang told him the truth and conveyed Bai Qi's words. Li Zicheng was speechless for a long time when he heard this, and then said to Li Dang: "General Li will go to rest first, and I will discuss it with the generals." ”

He found the generals and told Bai Qi's plan, and Li Guo was the first to jump up: "This can't be done, Uncle Li, we are short of people, and then we go to Tongguan with great fanfare, Lao Hong heard about it, and he must copy it from behind, and we will be blocked by Tongguan again, won't it become a mouse in the bellows?" ”

Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang and others also disagreed.

Their opinions were similar to those of Li Guo, that is, they were afraid that the officers and troops would be attacked from both sides, and the losses would be very large at that time, and it was possible that the whole army would be annihilated. What they need most at the moment is to recuperate and recruit men, instead of recklessly attacking Tongguan, which is heavily defended by the official army.

Tian Jianxiu shook his hand gently: "Don't worry, everyone, listen to me, Bai Qi's plan is indeed very risky, but Qin Jun is even more risky, have you thought about it?" ”

This sentence made everyone shut up. Li Guo and several people looked at each other.

Tian Jianxiu said: "We only have 2,000 people, and we will definitely not be able to defeat Tongguan, Bai Qi also made it clear, only let us be suspicious soldiers, which means that as long as we look at the situation is not right, we can withdraw." But Bai Qi's side, the pressure is much greater, you know, let's withdraw, he has to face Tongguan, Huayin, and even the official army of Xi'an alone, that's 100,000 horses, much more powerful than Lao Hong. ”

Li Zicheng nodded: "Go on." ”

Tian Jianxiu said: "I want to start this trick in vain, it is to prepare for a decisive battle, he took thousands of men and horses, fought guerrilla attacks in Guanzhong, fought for more than two months, and there was no way to relieve the siege of Xi'an, and if it dragged on like this, the situation in Xi'an would be very dangerous, in case it was broken by the official army, the Qin army would be completely finished." At present, Bai Qi and Li Yan are joining forces, and according to Li Dang, there are about 10,000 people. Bai Qi's use of troops is both ruthless and treacherous, and in the final analysis, there must be a decisive battle under the city of Xi'an. Bai Qi feints to attack Tongguan, it seems that he wants to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and then go to Xi'an to fight Xiong Wencan. ”

Liu Zongmin thought for a while: "There are seventy or eighty thousand officers and soldiers under the city of Xi'an, and 10,000 people are white, dare to fight hard with others?" ”

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Don't forget, there are still twenty or thirty thousand Qin troops in Xi'an City." Once the fight starts, the Qin army will inevitably come out of the city to support Bai Qi. ”

Liu Zongmin said: "In this way, the Qin army may still have a chance to win." ”

Li Zicheng said: "The number of people is not the most important, the most important thing in fighting a war is to win by surprise." If Bai Qi can beat Xiong Wencan by surprise and surprise, he may be able to defeat the official army in one fell swoop. ”

Tian Jianxiu said: "Yes, as long as Xiong Wencan is defeated, the entire Guanzhong will be the world of the Qin army." What Huaxian, Huayin, Tongguan, the official army can't hold at all. I'm afraid that without the Qin army to attack, the official army will flee by itself. ”

Li Zichang took a breath: "This will be an unprecedented decisive battle, and the situation in Guanzhong depends on this battle." ”

Liu Zongmin said: "What should we do? ”

Li Zicheng said: "What I didn't say, act according to Bai Qi's plan." On the first day of August, Tongguan was attacked. ”

Li said: "Then Lao Hong's side, you have to guard against it." Li Zicheng looked at Gao Yigong: "Yigong, you are a fine person, I will send you with two hundred cavalry to monitor Hong Chengchou, once he pounces on Tongguan, immediately report to me." ”

Gao Yigong nodded: "King Chuang, you can rest assured, I promise not to let Lao Hong copy our back road." ”

Tian Jianxiu said: "What should Li dare to do? Let him go back or stay? ”

Li Zicheng said: "There is also a lack of generals on Bai Qi's side, so let him go back to help Bai Qi, let's do it ourselves." ”

So Li Zicheng invited Li Kang and said to him: "General Li, it's not that I don't want to keep you, but the big war is imminent, and the Qin army is even more short of generals. ”

Li Dang was also very happy when he heard it, after all, in the army, he was a guest, and it was not reasonable to stay for a long time, so it was best to go back, so he arched his hand: "King Chuang, I thank you for Qin Jun." When this battle is won and the siege of Xi'an is lifted, I will definitely invite you to Guanzhong as a guest, and at that time, our two armies will join forces again to fight against the Ming army. ”

Li Zicheng said: "This is the best." Please reply to General Bai Qi, this battle is not only related to the life and death of the Qin army, but also related to the survival of our peasant army. Therefore, the life and death of Qin Jun is my life and death. Let's join the same breath, you're welcome. ”

Li Dare hugged Li Zicheng with a fist: "King Chuang, there will be a period later." ”

Li Zicheng also clenched his fists and said: "There will be a period later." ”

Li Dare said goodbye to Li Zicheng and returned to Huashan again, back and forth, for seven days.

At this time, Bai Qi's men and horses were already ready to go, and everyone brought three days' worth of dry food, except for weapons, and the rest were thrown away and handed over to the people who stayed in Huashan to take care of. Tang Sai'er's sister and brother also went out with the army, and Tang Sai'er ordered hundreds of his subordinates to obey Bai Qi's command.

Seeing Li Dare come back and bring Li Zicheng's reply, Bai Qi finally relieved himself, he knew that the rest was desperate.

In the past few days, Bai Qi has made full plans and counted all possible situations, once there is an accident on the battlefield, he can be prepared and adapt.

According to the plan, Bai Qi sent someone to give Lei Sheng an order, asking him to start attacking the officials and troops under the city of Xi'an from the night of the third day of the eighth month, because he could rush to Xi'an on the night of the third day of the eighth month at the earliest, and then listen to his orders and then work together.

Everything is ready, just wait for the first day of August.
