The high efficiency of the Huashan Army was evident at this time, and after the order was issued, soon the troops and horses were already on their way to the battlefield. Among them, the team that arrived first was naturally the two battalions of soldiers and horses led by Wang Meng.

Tongguan, since the Huashan army descended the mountain, has been completely cut off from direct contact with Guanzhong. also because of the previous defeats, the original Tongguan guard Fu Yun has been removed. At this time, it was Fu Tong who guarded Tongguan, and he was also the general of the side branch of the Fu family, and in such an important place, Fu Jian was not at ease when he handed it over to others!

This Fu Yun is older than Fu Yun, and when he does things, he is much more conservative than Fu Yun. Since he took over the post of Tongguan guard, in addition to restoring the strength of the defenders of Tongguan to 3,000 people, he has fully defended the west gate in preparation for the Huashan army to attack. As for taking the initiative to attack Huayin City like Fu Yun, he can't do this kind of thing, after all, the lessons from the past are not far away.

In this way, the Huashan Army did not have the idea of fighting Tongguan, and he did not go to Huayin City, but a unique tacit understanding was formed between the two sides. Everyone is at peace, and Fu Tong is happy to have a peace. It is precisely because of this that when they blocked the Huashan Army and fought a few battles with the Huashan Army before, Fu Tong did not even take any action here.

Originally, such a day was good, but unfortunately, not long ago, news came from Guanzhong, saying that Huan Wen led the army to kill Guanzhong violently. As soon as this news came out, it immediately made Fu Tong a little uneasy, because now the news in Guanzhong has to pass through the east of the river, and then cross the river and send it to Tongguan, and the time will be much longer.

In this way, he now only knows that the army of the Qin Imperial Court is stationed in Liuliu to resist the enemy, but he does not know the situation later. How did he know that at this time, Guanzhong was trying his best to deal with the threat of Huan Wen, how could he have time to send someone to inform them of these generals who were outside. Besides, it can't help if the notice is notified, if the direct contact between Tongguan and Guanzhong is not severed, it is still possible, and now it is useless.

"Fortunately, the east of Tongguan is still the land of the imperial court, and these 3,000 soldiers and horses are enough to guard against the Huashan army in the west. If you want to be strong, there shouldn't be much of a problem. As long as I keep Tongguan tightly, and wait until the imperial court solves the matter of Huan Wen, I think it will be a great achievement! Fu Tong had just inspected the city defense, and after everything was normal, he couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved, and said to himself on the way back.

But he didn't know that at this time, less than five miles away from Tongguan City, Wang Meng had already led the army to arrive. It's just that he didn't plan to attack immediately, but stopped first.

"This Tongguan is strong, if we want to capture it, I'm afraid that the loss will be not small, do you have any other way?" Wang Meng asked Liao Chuan and He Feng about the two team generals. Nowadays, there are not many Huashan soldiers, each of them is a treasure, if you can avoid it, you should try to avoid it.

This He Feng is about twenty-six or seven years old, which is the same age as Liao Chuan, and he is also a young general. It was this time that he was promoted from below to serve as the lieutenant of the newly formed Seventh Battalion. Before, he was just on the team.

Because he was particularly brave in several battles and had a lot of achievements, he was promoted to this position at once. Moreover, he was not a veteran of the Huashan Army, but one of the first captives to surrender. Of course, today's He Feng regards himself as a soldier of the Huashan Army.

"Tongguan is narrow on both sides of the east and west, and the other side has 3,000 soldiers and horses garrisoned, so it is indeed difficult to attack. Although it is said that if we attack strongly, we will definitely be able to attack it, but the loss is too great, and I think it is not what everyone is happy to see. It's just that the last general was stupid and couldn't think of a way to outwit! He Feng frowned.

"Indeed, the enemy of Tongguan is very well guarded against us, and has placed most of his troops at the west gate. If we have a way to detour to the east gate and pretend to be Qin soldiers and horses, we may be able to deceive the city gate, kill the generals and take Tongguan in one fell swoop! After Liao Chuan thought about it for a while, he let him come up with a solution.

"It's a good strategy, but with our troops, we can't do that. What's more, if we can bypass here, why are we still fighting Tongguan? This plan is not feasible, find another way! When Wang Meng heard this, he immediately shook his head and vetoed it.

"Master Bookkeeper, Master Bookkeeper, Captain has a letter delivered!" Just as the three of them frowned and thought of a solution, a soldier hurried from behind and presented a letter.

Wang Meng heard that it was Li Xin's letter, so he hurriedly took it and opened it to read it. Liao Chuan and He Feng on the side were thinking about breaking the enemy, but they suddenly saw Lord Bookkeeper, who was frowning before, and actually showed a smile at this moment.

"Why is the Lord so happy? But is there a good way to break the enemy? The two glanced at each other, and Liao Chuan couldn't help but be curious.

"There is a good plan, but it is not I who came up with it, but our captain. This Li Hantang! Dare to be ready for a long time, really, but he didn't tell us when he set off, causing us to think about it for so long! Wang Meng nodded and said with a smile.

"Oh, Lord Captain said how to break the enemy? Please show me the master of the book! When the two of them heard this, they hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry, you'll know when the time comes! The order was given, and the army covered its tracks, rested on the spot, and waited until evening before acting. Liao Chuan, come here with your ears, I have something to do with you! Wang Meng waved his hand and said to the two.

Soon, Wang Meng's army was silently hidden, just waiting for the evening to come.

And just as they were waiting for the opportunity, the other soldiers and horses also began to move, and Li Erhei and two battalions of soldiers and horses arrived first in Xiatai County, which was the closest to the Lishui defense line. And in order to be faster, Li Erhei separated the soldiers and horses in his hands.

He combined half of the soldiers and horses of the second battalion and half of the soldiers and horses of the eighth battalion and sent them to Wannian County. In this way, the effect is better for the veteran to bring the new recruit. In addition, being able to take care of two cities at the same time will improve the efficiency of work for everyone.

Because most of the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong were all withdrawn, when Li Erhei came to the outside of Xia Tai County with his people, the county order there did not resist and went out of the city to surrender. From this point of view, it saved him a lot of things. He didn't embarrass them, but after taking people into the city and moving everything out, he left directly.

He first sent the things back to the water defense line, and then naturally Zheng County sent people to transport them back, while he himself directly led people to Wannian County. When he arrived, there was a war going on, and because this place was closer to Chang'an than other counties, Fu Jian paid more attention to it in the past, and the county order sent was considered a diehard element of Fu Qin, and refused to open the city and surrender.

In this case, Li Erhei would not waste time, two thousand men and horses attacked the city together, and it didn't take long to capture the city. After that, the county seat was completely moved, and as for the county order, because it still wanted to resist in the end, it was directly resolved. The rest of the people were unwilling to resist in the first place, and at this time they surrendered directly.

After the two wars, these two counties came very easily. After all, these people near Chang'an already knew the news of Fu Qin's defeat, and under the fluctuation of people's hearts, the Huashan army had a good time, and most of them didn't want to die for Fu Qin.

It only took Li Erhei one day to take down the two county seats, and there were a lot of things that he moved back, especially the particularly important grain, salt and other materials, and other things that could be used were not left.

And on the night of this day, Wang Meng launched a quiet attack on Tongguan, and he took a part of his people to quietly approach the city of Tongguan at night. In the middle of the night, the gate of Tongguan was suddenly opened from the inside, and Wang Meng quickly entered the city with his soldiers.

When Na Fu Tong was sleeping soundly, Leng Buding was killed at home, and he didn't wake up until the knife rested on his neck. Although he had the heart to resist, at this time, Tongguan was already controlled by the Huashan army, and all the soldiers defending the city had already disarmed and become prisoners, where did he still have the power to return to heaven.

After solving Wannian County, Li Erhei still asked one battalion to send things back first, but he didn't rest, and rushed to Pinyang County with another battalion overnight. Compared with the two places of Wannian Xiaqi, the distance in Napinyang County is farther, and it is poorer in comparison.

That city has nothing to say, it is far away from Fu Jian's ruling center, and it is not too loyal to Fu Qin. Therefore, as soon as Li Erhei's army arrived, he surrendered directly. So, without waiting for another team to appear, he went straight to his task.

In this way, Li Xin's arrangement of several people is already half completed. Li Erhei, who had made a smooth move, saw that it was so easy, so he moved his mind. After resting a little, he decided to take a team of men and horses to Liyi County further north to have a look, if he could fight down, he didn't mind making more contributions.

Liyi County is located more than 50 miles northeast of Pinyang County, and its location is a few miles north of Baishui County in the later generations. There, it is close to the mountains, and the population is much smaller and poorer. Li Erhei led people to rush overnight, but when they arrived a few miles outside the city, they stopped and let everyone rest for a while.

After dawn, he marched towards the city with the second battalion of soldiers and horses. The city was guarded, and when they saw them coming, they were immediately startled. Especially after knowing that he was coming from the Huashan army, even if Kaecheng surrendered, Li Erhei was a little depressed.

The harvest of this trip was relatively small, and after packing up his things, he took the soldiers south to prepare to return to Zheng County to hand over the task. 166 Reading Network
