After Wang Jian finished telling what happened, Li Yan had to sigh, the son of a daughter, an immortal thief, it seems that this is still very reliable.

The three of them kept rushing to the direction of Huayin, wanting to return to the Qin army in Huayin, but they still didn't expect that Huayin at this time was not calm, Hong Chengchou's arrangements were very thorough, as a very strong anti-thief, Hong Chengchou has always regarded the Qin army as a big problem, this time he wants to join Zhang Luo's coalition army, together with the Qin army, all of them will be wiped out.

In Huayin City, Fan Ju, Ziyi, Li Kang and others were discussing.

Li Kang had already returned to Huayin, he didn't mention Zhang Ji's matter, after so many changes, Li Kang had learned to hide some things, observe them quietly, and then make a judgment.

On the day he returned to Huayin City, the military meeting was held, and the general opinion was decided.

Because the report is very effective, Fan Ju is in the city, and he will receive a report every half a day, so the Qin army is very clear about the fact that the Zhang Luo coalition army can't attack Xi'an City, and at the same time they also know that Zuo Liangyu has rushed to Xi'an non-stop, and in another day or two, it will be there. The same is true for Cao Wenzhao.

It seems that the Zhang Luo coalition army is already a turtle in the urn, and the official army is about to start to encircle.

As for the Qin army, the general deployment has been made, Ziyi glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Two days later, there will be a melee under the city of Xi'an, and our Qin army is just fishing in troubled waters and reaping the benefits." When the official army and the peasant army are almost fought, we will surely win a great victory if we attack fiercely. At present, our army has more than 5,200 people and 4,000 war horses, and Li dares to ......"

Li dared to say: "Please give the general's orders." ”

Ziyi said: "I am the leader, you are the deputy general, take four thousand cavalry forward, follow Zuo Liangyu, and wait until they are almost killed, and then attack." Wu Duwei and Feng Duwei went with us, leaving Gongsun Duwei and Fan Xiang to defend the city together. ”

Fan Ju nodded: "Very good, it's decided." Everyone hurry up and get ready to go. ”

After the order was over, everyone went separately to prepare, and only Fan Ju and Ziyi were left in the room.

Ziyi looked at the map, as if he had something on his mind, Fan Ju said: "Why is the general uneasy?" Ziyi frowned: "We don't have many soldiers, according to the report, Zuo Liangyu has four or five thousand horses, Cao Wenzhao has three thousand iron horses, plus Hong Chengchou's men and horses, the total number is more than 10,000 people, and the Zhang Luo coalition army also has forty or fifty thousand people, this is a big battle, in case the peasant army is about to collapse, the official army does not have many losses, and our sneak attack will not have many results." ”

Fan Ju smiled: "Don't worry about this, we have already sent the news, Zhang Luo Lianjun knows that Zuo Liangyu and they are coming, can you not find a way to intercept halfway?" Zuo Liangyu and Cao Wenzhao only care about hurrying, and if they are not strictly prepared, they will definitely suffer, so in my opinion, these two groups will consume some on the road, and when they arrive at the city of Xi'an, they will not be finished. Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai are both fierce bandits, and their men and horses are also very brave, so this fight will not be a one-sided situation. ”

Ziyi nodded lightly: "That's it, even if the officers and soldiers are not badly damaged, we can also sneak attack, as long as we can kill these chief officers, or kill Hong Chengchou, it will be a big victory." ”

Fan Ju patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, yes, Hong Chengchou is very good at fighting, Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu are also famous generals, as long as these three people can be removed, the whole of Shaanxi is ours, even if we can't get rid of all of them, only one or two of them, we have also chosen a big bargain." ”

Ziyi said: "That...... Do we occupy the city of Xi'an? I mean, if it's possible. ”

Fan Ju did not hesitate: "Naturally, you want to occupy it." As long as we occupy Xi'an, we can be invincible, and when the time comes, we can also contact the peasant army, think that foreign aid, and then vigorously manage Xi'an City, as a foundation. ”

Ziyi was very happy.

That night, the 4,000 cavalry of the Qin army quietly left Huayin City and marched towards Xi'an. Li Dang walked in the front with a thousand people, Ziyi led the Chinese army, and the other two lieutenants followed, each of whom brought four days of dry food and water, plus weapons, and other than that, nothing was allowed to be brought, and they were as light as possible.

After the people and horses left the west gate of Huayin City, they quickly disappeared into the night.

However, although the Qin army's movements were hidden, they were still discovered.

In the woods not far from the west gate, there were two cavalrymen, which were scouts sent by Wu Guobao, who had been observing the movements of the Qin army, and when they saw the Qin army leaving the city, they were not in a hurry, and slowly counted the number of people, until all the Qin troops had passed, and the two people said to each other: "Four thousand people ...... it."

After the number was approved, the two got on the horse and went straight to Tongguan.

When he returned to Tongguan, it was already dawn, Wu Guobao had just fallen asleep, and as soon as he heard that a scout had returned, he knew that it was the matter of Huayin Qinjun, and hurriedly got up and came to the main hall.

After listening to the scout's report, Wu Guobao immediately ordered all the men and horses to prepare for battle, preparing to go out of the customs to attack Huayin. He ordered the 2,000 men and horses to wrap their mouths and even the horses' hooves in cotton cloth, and not to make a sound, and to attack Huayin City as soon as it gets dark tomorrow.

He didn't act immediately, because he had to wait for Ziyi's four thousand Qin troops to go a little farther away and couldn't come back in time.

At this moment, within a radius of hundreds of miles from Xi'an City, all of them are a scene of rumors, all the people, you have your ideas, I have my plans, each has its own way of playing, like a pot of cooked porridge, boiling everywhere.

This is a general battle, the core of the battle, is the city of Xi'an where Hong Chengchou sits, outside the city is Zhang Luo's peasant army, and then outward is Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, Sun Chuanting's three reinforcements, and then outward, the Qin army is looking at the tiger, thinking of a trick Yellow Bird behind, the outermost, is Wu Guobao's attack on Huayin's men.

With so many people in one place, it's no wonder that it's not messy.

And the three of King Qin, Wang Jian and Li Yan are in the center of this huge whirlpool.

Because they were afraid that Sun Chuanting would send troops to chase them, they did not take the official road, but took a small road and rushed to Huayin, so they did not encounter the Qin army led by Ziyi and Li Dang.

The three of them ran for a day, and gradually approached Huayin City, the sky was dark again, and the people and horses were so tired that they were sweating, and it was not a good thing to sweat profusely in such a cold weather, so Wang Jian found a leeward cave, and the three of them went in to rest and build a fire to drive away the cold.

Since the three of them only cared about escaping from the official army camp, no one brought anything to eat, but fortunately it was not far from Huayin, so they endured it overnight and could arrive the next day.

There was a fire, and there was warmth in the cave, so it was not so uncomfortable.

Along the way, Li Yan always had something on his mind to tell King Qin, but it was difficult to explain it on the road, so he had to hold back, and when he was resting at this time, he coughed twice dryly and said, "King, I have something I want to explain to you." ”

King Qin said: "Li Qing has something to say, just say it." ”

He called Li Yan Qing, which can be regarded as believing that Li Yan is his own courtier and his own person.

Li Yan didn't pay much attention to the change in title, because he had more important things in his heart, so he said: "Do you know that during the period of your disappearance, I once commanded the Qin army. ”

King Qin nodded: "I know." And you did a good job, and you also defeated the encirclement and suppression of the official army. ”

Li Yan said: "What I want to say happened after the encirclement and suppression were broken. And this matter is related to the famous generals under your command, Bai Qi. King Qin was stunned: "Bai Qi, what's wrong with him?" Li Yan pondered for a while, and then told how Bai Qi assassinated himself and Li Kang, and was recognized by Fan Ju, imprisoned, and then rescued by others.

After he finished speaking, King Qin and Wang Jian looked at each other and were shocked.

Wang Jian has always been an admirer of Bai Qi, he later pacified the Six Kingdoms, and many of his playing styles were also taught by Bai Qi, so he had a lot of good feelings for this god of war-level figure, and after listening to Li Yan's words at this time, he shook his head again and again: "I don't think it's possible." General Bai Qi is not such a person. He joined the army at the age of fifteen, and from an ordinary soldier to a general, he has always relied on his own skills, and he has never heard of whom he framed or who he was jealous of. ”

King Qin also agreed with this: "Bai Qi is not a fool, with his prestige in the Qin army, even if you Li Yan wins a few more battles, you can't shake his position." Therefore, this matter is somewhat suspicious. ”
