Bai nodded: "I've thought about this, I can't trust these people. They have already deceived the officers and soldiers twice with a fake surrender, who dares to guarantee that they will not deceive our Qin army. [No pop-ups. 】”

Li Yan still shook his head: "We must let Gao Yingxiang enter Henan, if we flee as soon as we start the war, Gao Yingxiang will definitely be in chaos, and the morale of the army will also be affected, and the battle that can be won will not be won." Therefore I must not escape. ”

The red lady hurriedly said: "But if you don't leave, Gao Yingxiang will have a hostage in his hands, and the king will throw a mouse trap, and the Qin army will not be able to use his hands and feet." ”

Bai Qi also said: "What the red girl said is very true. The Qin army has already sent troops, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. Let's run away, and we won't lose anything. ”

Li Yan's attitude was very resolute: "If you want to go, I will stay, so that Gao Yingxiang will not doubt it, and you can get out smoothly." ”

The red lady said: "If you want to go together, you want to stay together, I won't be separated from you." ”

Li Yan looked at Xiaoqing, and Xiaoqing said, "Where Sister Hong goes, I'll go." Looking at Yizhimei again, Yizhimei said in a low voice: "Your injury is not healed yet, I ...... Don't leave your ......"

Seeing that the three of them didn't leave, Li Yan had no choice but to say to Bai Qi: "General, it's better for you to go alone." ”

Bai Qi sneered: "Do you think I'm afraid of death? ”

Li Yan said: "Where? The general has killed more people than I have ever seen, so how can he be afraid of death. I mean, it's useless to stay here, and you're a pivotal figure in the Qin army, so you must go back to command the Qin army. If you are in the hands of the peasant army, the morale of the Qin army will be greatly reduced, not for you alone, but also for the sake of the king of Qin and the Qin army. ”

Bai Qi thought about it and was right: "I'm leaving, aren't you afraid that Gao Yingxiang will be angry, and it will be bad for you?" ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "Gao Yingxiang is an understanding person, in fact, what he wants to keep the most is you and not me." He knows your status in the Qin army, so as soon as you leave, it will be useless for him to kill me, and he will offend the Qin army even more, he will not do such a stupid thing. ”

Bai Qi groaned: "It's okay, I'll go alone, leave all the cavalry under my command to you, and if something happens, it's good to have a cover." ”

The red lady said: "General, you go alone, in case there is anything wrong on the road......"

Bai Qi said: "It's okay, I go alone, without people, it will be easier to get out." Li Gongzi, do you want to follow Gao Yingxiang into the Central Plains? ”

Li Yan nodded: "Not bad." And I have a plan to make the peasant army shock the world and completely attract the officers and soldiers. At that time, the Qin army will not be the main opponent of the official army, and it can be assured of developing its power. ”

Bai Qi perked up: "You have a plan?" ”

Li Yan nodded: "This matter is a big matter, except for a few of us, we must not let anyone know." When I enter the Central Plains, I will let Gao Yingxiang enter my plan step by step. ”

He gathered several people together and whispered a few words. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be excited. Bai Qi patted him on the shoulder: "The plan is very good, but it will be implemented, and it depends on many external conditions." ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, after two fake surrenders, the peasant army has long known that the court hates them to the core, and they will inevitably fight against the official army with all their hearts." As soon as I put forward this plan, it will be too late for them to be happy, how can they doubt it. ”

The red lady looked at Bai Qi: "The important thing at the moment is how the general got out." ”

Bai Qi smiled slightly: "I have already planned this, when the time comes, you should not know anything, eat when you should eat, sleep when you should sleep, it is better to make it seem like I am afraid of death and flee alone, Gao Yingxiang will not suspect that we have made arrangements in advance." ”

And when the deliberations of the people had ended, they rested.

Since Gao Yingxiang received the letter from the King of Qin, he immediately began to prepare for the attack on Tongguan. In the past few days, he had already sent people to Tongguan to investigate, and the spies reported that Tongguan had less than 5,000 men and horses, and there were no cavalry. At this time, Hong Chengchou had already received a warrant from Hong Chengchou, asking them to guard the checkpoint and not to fight. Therefore, these people and horses are stationed in Guanli, day and night to guard.

After getting the news, Gao Yingxiang made some arrangements, he sent his general Huang Long to lead 5,000 men and horses, with all the cavalry, to attack Hong Chengchou's military camp tomorrow night, Gao Yingxiang instructed him, no matter what, these 5,000 men and horses should drag Hong Chengchou down, and he could not let him send troops, these 5,000 men and horses would fight desperately to the death, even if the whole army was destroyed, Hong Chengchou should be blocked.

Then he ordered the whole army, tomorrow night, while Huanglong went to attack Hong Chengchou, he personally led the storming of Tongguan, and this Xiongguan must be opened.

After the order was over, the whole army began to prepare.

At the same time, Ji Mengdie's side was also busy. She and Li Kang, led more than 2,000 cavalry, and came to a distance of 50 miles from Hong Chengchou's camp, and a scout came to report that Hong Chengchou had sent Zuo Liangyu to meet him, and there were at least four or five thousand men and horses.

Ji Mengdie smiled, Hong Chengchou was able to send Zuo Liangyu out, and it could be seen that he had completely believed that she had a large number of people and horses, and she was not good. With more than 2,000 people, against more than 5,000 people, of course, she can't fight hard, not to mention, she didn't come to fight in the first place, she was just a suspicious soldier.

So Ji Mengdie ordered the whole army to camp.

When I came, the army brought a lot of tents and other things, and this camp was so large.

Originally, there were two thousand five hundred people, and three hundred tents were enough, but Ji Mengdie brought five hundred, giving people the feeling that it was at least five or six thousand people, and when she ordered cooking, she dug twice as many stoves.

The plan to increase the stove in history, Ji Mengdie naturally knows.

After setting up the camp, she let people beat drums and make noise in the camp, which made the whole camp shout and neigh, and it was very lively.

Zuo Liangyu's scout watched from a distance, he stood on a hillside, and saw that in the Qin army camp in the distance, people came and went, and he didn't know how many people and horses. I had to count the number of tents and report back.

After listening to the scout's report, Zuo Liangyu felt that he should not be underestimated. He only brought 5,000 cavalry, if the Qin army came with infantry, he could rush it, but the Qin army came with the same cavalry, and he had a large battalion to rely on, so he couldn't fight.

So he also ordered to set up camp to prevent the Qin army from sneaking up.

The two sides confronted each other, and neither of them went to war first. Zuo Liangyu's abacus is not bad, Hong Chengchou asked him to come, just to block the Qin army, as long as the Qin army can't rush over, Hong Chengchou's side will not be attacked.

The two sides did not fight on this day, and when it was almost dusk the next day, Gao Yingxiang invited Li Yanbai Qi and others to the big tent and conveyed to them the news of the attack on Tongguan tonight.

Li Yan said: "According to the scout report, Hong Chengchou sent Zuo Liangyu to lead 5,000 men and horses to intercept the Qin army, so it seems that there are still tens of thousands of people in his camp, if he can't take Tongguan in a short time, Hong Chengchou will definitely get a report, and then he will understand our intentions, and he will definitely come to attack at all costs." Is King Gao Chuang sure to win Tongguan quickly? ”

Gao Yingxiang nodded: "Tongguan is known as a natural danger, but for people outside Shaanxi, we are here, Tongguan is just an ordinary pass." And there were less than five thousand centaurs. More than 30,000 of my people are sure to take Tongguan before dawn. ”

Li Yan said: "This is very good. May I ask King Chuang, do we want to move with the brigade? ”

Gao Yingxiang said with a smile: "This is natural, you have to be with my old Chinese army camp, it is safe there." I will send competent men to protect you, and after I have taken Tongguan, I will invite you to enter the pass. ”

Bai Qi listened, and saw that Gao Yingxiang never mentioned letting them go, so he had a plan in his heart, and asked casually at this time: "I don't know how long King Chuang wants to keep us." ”

Gao Yingxiang smiled: "As long as it is safe, I will send someone to escort you back to Xi'an." General Bai doesn't have to worry, I, Gao, am a man of my word, and I will never break my word. If you are in a hurry, once there is a mistake on the road, how can I be worthy of King Qin? ”

Bai Qi sneered in his heart, and secretly thought: Just wait for safety, when will it be called safe? This is vague and perfunctory.

Because he already had a plan to get out in his heart, he didn't say anything, but said: "Then all the troubles will be for the king." ”

Gao Yingxiang asked his own soldiers to escort them to the old camp, along with the more than 100 cavalry. At the same time, Gao Yingxiang sent Chinese soldiers and horses to surround them, preventing Li Yan and others from escaping in chaos.

Li Yan saw everything in his eyes and didn't say anything. And very polite to these people.

It was slowly getting dark, and Huang Long had already led five thousand men and horses, ready to go.

At this time, a person came back from Hong Chengchou's camp, it was Shi Kefa.

Since dawn that day, he found that Li Yan had escaped and led his troops to chase after him, because Bai Qi's fifty cavalrymen ran fast, Shi Kefa spent a lot of effort chasing for more than a day before catching up.

The two sides fought in a scuffle, and Shi Kefa asked his men to look for Li Yan while fighting, but after fighting for a long time, he didn't find Li Yan's shadow. In the end, more than 20 of the 50 cavalry of Bai Qi were killed and wounded, and more than 20 others scattered and fled.

Shi Kefa interrogated a wounded soldier, and the wounded soldier knew that Bai Qi had already returned to Shaanxi at this time, and even if Shi Kefa turned back to chase after him at this time, he would not be able to catch up no matter what. This was explained to Shi Kefa.

After the wounded soldier finished speaking, he laughed a few times and swallowed his breath.

Shi Kefa was furious, but he was helpless. The last time Li Yan escaped from him, he was caught again, but this time, he couldn't catch it anyway. for the man who saved him was in vain.

Calculating the distance, at this time, Bai Qi had already returned to Shaanxi with Li Yan, at least Huayin. He was extremely angry, so he had to bring people and horses to see Hong Chengchou.

His subordinates persuaded him: "General, you want to see Lord Hong, what should I do if he beheads you in anger?" ”

Shi Kefa said: "Just cut it, it's my dereliction of duty." ”

The soldier said, "Otherwise...... General, run. At present, there is a shortage of soldiers, many people have resigned and refused, and the court has no choice, if you run away, I guess the court will not hold on to you. ”
