Li Qing led everyone to leave Ziche Zhong'an, and the group dressed up as an ordinary caravan and headed for Wuxian.

Ziche Zhong'an has no opinion on this, now the war situation is complicated, Jiangzhou City was attacked by the rebels from Chengdu, although there are Baili Gufeng designed to defend it, Jiangzhou City is not a big problem in a short time, but in this way, the grain road in Ziche Zhong'an's army was cut off by the Chengdu rebels, so Ziche Zhong'an can only withdraw the army first, return to Jiangzhou City, and wait for the rebellion outside Jiangzhou City to be dealt with, and then try to recover Langzhong.

Li Qing and his entourage came to Wu County, which is the base camp of the rebel leader Mu Clan, who has been operating in Wu County for hundreds of years, and the entire Wu County is under the control of Mu Clan.

The caravan disguised by Li Qing and others did not attract the attention of the rebels, and although they were interrogated several times, Li Qing and others successfully entered Wuxian County after Li Qing took the initiative to stuff some coins.

Wu County, during the Warring States Period, belonged to Wu County of Chu State, and in the 33rd year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, it was changed to Wu County and was under the jurisdiction of Ba County.

Wuxian is not big, as an ancient city, the mottled sword marks on the city wall verify the vicissitudes of this ancient city, there are three major clans in this city, namely the Mu clan, the Shen clan, and the Guan clan.

Among the three major clans, the Mu clan is the most powerful, after the Mu clan raised an army, killed the Wu County officials, the Shen clan and the Guan clan saw that the Mu clan was powerful, and they also chose to attach themselves to the Mu clan and follow the Mu clan to rebel.

Li Qing and the others entered the city to supplement supplies, because they wanted to pretend to be a caravan, so the army's standard weapons and military rations were left in the Ziche Zhong'an camp, except for money, Li Qing and his party did not bring anything that would reveal their identity.

The city was full of patrolling rebels, and the people were all grim, and it was clear that they all sensed that something was wrong.

"Click"

A convoy was escorted by the rebels towards the city gate, and Li Qing and the others hurriedly went around to the side to let the convoy pass.

Looking at the rut marks of the convoy, Li Qing frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"Li Qing, what's wrong?"

After the convoy left the city, Meng Ying saw that Li Qing had been looking at the road in a daze, and couldn't help shaking it in front of Li Qing's eyes with her hand.

Li Qing came back to his senses, his face showed a hint of joy, he looked around, didn't dare to make a noise, just motioned for everyone to go out of the city with him.

Out of Wu County, Li Qing convened everyone to discuss the matter.

Li Qing said: "The rebellion in Bashu, the situation is critical, although our top priority now is to return to Xianyang, but now I have found a good opportunity to ease the situation in Bashu, I don't know if you are willing to give it a try?" ”

Fan Cheng is a soldier, and he wanted to fight with Ziche Zhong'an's Jiangzhou army, but because he wanted to protect Li Qing, he had to flee to Wuxian with Li Qing.

Meng Ying and Qing also have no opinions, I don't know why, Qing has become more and more silent recently, and often falls into contemplation alone, Li Qing did not find out in time, but Meng Ying, who has been following Qing, noticed a trace of something wrong, but what was wrong, Meng Ying couldn't say it, and wanted to tell Li Qing about Qing's abnormality several times, but he never found a chance.

Li Qing looked at the three masters of "reverse" again, the skills of these three people made Li Qing very admired, with the three of them, they could be worth hundreds of elites.

Li Chunyang shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "As long as you don't delay returning to Xianyang, Lao Dao has no opinion." ”

Zhu Shou said with a smile: "The old Taoist priest has no opinion, and my old Zhu has no opinion, as for the nameless, he is a mute." ”

Zhu Shou's words made Nameless, who was about to speak, close his mouth, Nameless is not good at words, and he has never been Zhu Shou's opponent in terms of speaking.

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Li Qing slowly said his plan.

Li Qing said: "Have you noticed the dozens of ox carts in the city today? ”

Fan Cheng scratched his head and said suspiciously: "I saw it, but what does this have to do with the battle situation in Bashu?" ”

Li Qing smiled slightly and said: "What is contained in it is the grain and grass of the rebels, they are going to send the grain and grass to Langzhong, as long as we intercept the grain and grass, the rebels in Langzhong will have no food, and it will be a big chaos." ”

"You mean, it's the rebels' grain carriers."

Fan Cheng and the others' eyes lit up, the battle situation in Bashu is now dominated by the Qin army, if Li Qing can really burn the grain and grass of the rebels, it can indeed reduce the pressure on Ziche Zhong'an, and even allow Ziche Zhong'an to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop and completely reverse the situation in Bashu.

Zhu Shou sneered: "You can't help but think about things too simply, just now the grain army is more than 3,000 people, just more than 100 of us, how to rob the grain?" ”

Yes, everyone came back to their senses, indeed, there are only more than 100 people around Li Qing now, and everyone left all the weapons such as armor and spears to the Jiangzhou army for fear of being recognized, at this time, they only have a long sword in their hands to defend themselves, and it is impossible for them to be the opponent of the three thousand rebels.

Li Qing smiled proudly and said: "In a head-on battle, of course we will not be the opponents of the rebels, but if it is a sneak attack, I am seventy percent sure that I can burn all the grain and grass of the rebels in one fell swoop." ”

Seeing that Li Qing was so confident, Zhu Shou and the others were very surprised, and hurriedly asked Li Qing how to act.

Li Qing pointed to the ruts on the ground and said: "The rebels escort grain and grass, it should be ready to be sent to Langzhong, and they will inevitably stop to rest on the way, because this is the territory of the Mu clan, so they will definitely not be too guarded, and we only need to sneak into the rebel camp and set fire to the grain, now that the weather is hot, as long as the fire starts, the rebels will not be able to easily extinguish the fire." ”

Shen Dan is a descendant of the Shen clan, the three major clans in Wu County, and in this battle of Langzhong, the Mu clan and the Guan clan were responsible for fighting the Qin army in the front, while the Shen clan was in the rear to coordinate grain and grass.

Seeing that dusk was approaching, Shen Dan ordered to set up camp and march at night, which was too risky, and there was still surplus food in Langzhong at this time, and Shen Dan was not in a hurry to leave, so he was ready to rest in advance.

"Young master, this place is densely forested and not suitable for camping, why don't you choose another place to camp?"

A dark-faced strong man heard that Shen Dan was preparing to camp in this place, and hurriedly dissuaded, this person is called Shen Gu, a member of the Shen family, and once served as a captain in Wu County, and he can see at a glance that this place in front of him is not suitable for camping.

Shen Dan was tired and thirsty at this time, where was he in the mood to choose another place, he waved his hand impatiently, and said: "Don't bother, just stay here for one night, Shen Gu, you are responsible for arranging for the soldiers to be on guard." ”

Seeing that Shen Dan did not listen, Shen Gu had no choice but to obey the order, and arranged for the rebels to gather the grain wagons together and cover them with animal skins to prevent the grain and grass from being wet by the rain, and then arranged for the rebels to cut down trees to make antlers and dig pits.

"Isn't it just one night, and let's dig some kind of trap, this is an inherent disease."

"Don't say it, Shen Gu is a big man in the Shen family, and it's not something we can provoke."

Some of the rebel soldiers who had been assigned to dig the pit were grumbling while digging the pit with little energy.
