Bai Fang stood up from the pile of corpses, wiped the blood from his face covered in blood, and then turned and walked deeper into the forest.

He was not lightly wounded, but he was able to set a trap and defeat more than a dozen rebels on his own, and White was proud enough.

In the dense forest, Li Qing and his entourage waited anxiously, and the information they got from Da Niu's mouth let Li Qing and others know about the changes in Ba County, in fact, Da Niu didn't know much, but the news he revealed was enough to make everyone frightened.

The Bajun clan rebelled, they actually wanted to rebuild the Ba country, where did they get the confidence to dare to rebel in the strongest period of the Great Qin Empire?

Because they were afraid of being discovered by the rebels, Li Qing and the others didn't dare to make fire anymore these days, and they ate on dried meat and wild fruits on weekdays, but fortunately, there were many wild fruits in the forest, and the Qin army had always had the habit of storing jerky, so in a short time, there was no problem in surviving.

Li Qing sat on the stone, thinking about what to do next, hard fighting is definitely not able to fight, the rebels have more than 20,000 people, and Li Qing is only more than 100 people, no matter how you look at it, hard work is only a dead end, the only good news now is that the enemy is clear and I am dark, the Mu rebels do not know the existence of Li Qing and others, and Li Qing knows the actions of the rebels.

Meng Ying and Qing sat aside, if you want to say that the most uncomfortable thing here, it should be these two women, they endure the wind and sun every day with everyone, mosquito bites, although they do not complain, but from their haggard faces, it can be found that they are not comfortable.

"My lord, the water source in the east has been occupied by the rebels, and we can't go to the east to get water, so it's not a way to go on like this."

Fan Cheng came to Li Qing's side with a sad face and said that there was originally a small river next to Li Qing's camp, but later that small river was discovered by the rebels, and Li Qing and the others could only abandon the original camp and move the camp to a dense forest a little far away from the rebels.

Li Qing touched his chin, thought for a while and asked, "Are the rebels guarding the water source tightly?" ”

Fan Cheng nodded and said, "The rebels have arranged for more than five hundred soldiers to patrol back and forth, and have set up checkpoints in the upper reaches and middle of the river. ”

When Li Qing heard this, he couldn't help but say with some solemnity: "It seems that this rebel general is also a person who understands soldiers." ”

Water source is the most important thing for the army, without food, people will not collapse immediately, but once there is no water, so many soldiers and horses will disappear in an instant.

The rebels' emphasis on water sources made Li Qing's original plan to use means in the water directly stillborn.

Qing seemed to see Li Qing's plan, and couldn't help but say: "There is no poison that can poison an army of tens of thousands of people, and although this river is not too big, if you want to poison the river, how many medicines are needed." ”

Li Qing also found that his thoughts were too naïve, but seeing that the water source in the army was exhausted, Li Qing's heart couldn't help but be a little impatient.

"How can you get water without being detected by the rebels?"

Li Qing fell into deep thought, and when Fan Cheng and the others saw this, they didn't dare to disturb Li Qing, so they had to stand aside, also thinking about a way out.

Ziche Zhong'an led an army of 30,000 out of Jiangzhou and went straight to Langzhong, these 30,000 troops are the elite of the Qin army stationed in Ba County, well-equipped, and Ziche Zhong'an has never neglected training, so this is an extremely powerful army.

"Report, General, the front is about to arrive in Langshui."

A Qin army probe came to Ziche Zhong'an, turned over and dismounted, and reported.

Ziche Zhong'an nodded, looked at the sky, it was just past noon, so he ordered: "Zhou Chong, you take three thousand soldiers and horses first, and go to collect nearby ships for the army to cross the river." ”

"No."

Beside Ziche Zhong'an, a general with a sallow face and leopard face and eyes responded that this person was Zhou Chong, a fierce general in Jiangzhou.

Zhou Chong led 3,000 soldiers and horses to go straight to Langshui, and after Zhou Chong left, Ziche Zhong'an saw that the army was slightly tired, so he ordered to rest temporarily.

Zhou Chong took the soldiers and horses, headed towards Langshui, walked to a forest path, and suddenly felt that there were eyes watching beside him, Zhou Chong couldn't help but raise his hand, and the army immediately stopped advancing.

Zhou Chong stared at a certain place in the forest, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said to his cronies Zhou Lin and Zhou Lei: "You take people to see who dares to spy on our army." ”

Zhou Lin and Zhou Lei responded to the call, led more than a dozen Qin soldiers, and walked towards the forest.

"Someone, come out for me."

Zhou Lin and the others came to the mountain forest, and sure enough, they found traces of grass and trees being crushed, Zhou Lin immediately pulled out his sword and shouted loudly.

"I'm the superintendent of the imperial history, the junior colonel Bai Fang under the command of Lord Li Qing, but you are the Jiangzhou army?"

A bloodied man walked out of the woods with his hands raised, and this person was White.

Zhou Lin and Zhou Lei glanced at each other, and Zhou Lin said: "Haven't you been away from Jiangzhou for a few days, since you are the escort under the command of Lord Li Qing, why do you appear here?" ”

Bai Fang hurriedly said: "My lord found that there was an army of tens of thousands of people in Langshui, and he was worried that General Ziche had been ambushed, so he specially sent me to inform General Ziche. ”

"What?"

When Zhou Lin and Zhou Lei heard this, they were all taken aback, and the two of them did not dare to slack off, so they immediately took White Fang to see Zhou Chong.

After listening to Bai Fang's words, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, looked at Bai Fang, and said coldly: "What evidence do you have to prove that you are under the command of Lord Li Qing, don't you deliberately deceive me?" Want to slow down our army? ”

Bai Fang was in a hurry, took out a waist card from his waist and said: "This is my military card from Xianyang Dongying, which can be used as a proof of my identity." ”

Zhou Chong took the military card and looked through it, because he had never seen the military card of Xianyang Dongying, so there was no way to distinguish the real from the fake, but looking at White's expression, it really didn't look like a liar.

"General, what are we going to do?"

Zhou Lin asked a little solemnly, Langzhong asked for help, Jiangzhou must go to support, and he can't be scared to move forward because of a news that he doesn't know whether it's true or not.

Zhou Chong frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Send someone to bring this White Fang to General Ziche, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will continue to move forward with me." ”

When Zhou Lin heard this, he exclaimed: "General, why do you want to advance knowing that there are ambushes ahead?" ”

Zhou Chong showed a confident smile on his face and said: "Regardless of whether the information is true or not, even if there is really an ambush, what they have to deal with is General Ziche, we are only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the enemy is definitely unwilling to be exposed, so we are safe, even if we really encounter an ambush, use our 3,000 soldiers and horses to lure out the enemy's ambush, when the time comes, General Ziche's army will arrive, the enemy will be defeated, this is also a great achievement for us, isn't it?" ”

Zhou Lin and Zhou Lei glanced at each other, and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes at the same time, Zhou Chong was too confident.
