Chapter 205: Bait

Chen Kang quickly packed up, and in order to achieve the goal of winning the trust of the enemy, he also deliberately brought Fu Shuang's corpse. While they were cleaning up, Li Xin ordered the army to rest on the spot, which could be regarded as recuperating.

When it was ugly, the soldiers and horses moved again, and Chen Kang set off with the disguised soldiers and horses. This place is about thirty miles away from Qingshui County, and if you calculate it, when they arrive at Qingshui County, it is not yet dawn. In this case, it is just the right time to provide cover.

Moreover, compared to the camp of Fushuang, the prevention of this Qingshui County should be lower. After all, there is an army of 6,000 in front of Fu Shuang, and if there is anything, you have to pass through there! This is equivalent to an insurance, and according to the mentality of ordinary people, it will be much more relaxed because of it.

After resting for an hour, Li Xin ordered the whole army to set off! Although there is no news ahead, there is no news, which is good news. After all, if it was unfavorable to capture the city, Chen Kang would definitely send someone back to inform him and let him go to support.

Sure enough, when he arrived outside Qingshui County, he found that the city gate had been opened, and the city had already become the banner of the Huashan Army.

"When the army enters the city, do not disturb the people! The generals went to the four gates to defend and block the whole city, no one was allowed to enter or leave, waiting for the next military order! Chen Kang greeted him at the gate of the city, and before entering the city, Li Xin ordered everyone.

Rushing one after another, coupled with a night of fighting, the army was already very tired at this time. Although he rested for a while, he hadn't completely recovered yet, so Li Xin was ready to rest for a day in Qingshui County. At the same time, they are also waiting for the captives from the big camp to send over!

The people of Qingshui County only heard a brief shout of killing that night, and then the whole city fell silent. Because they were afraid, few people dared to come out to find out, and when it was dawn, they found out that Qingshui County had already changed owners.

The soldiers of the Huashan Army patrolled the streets, and the people here had never been in contact with the Huashan Army before, so they were somewhat afraid and suspicious. Fortunately, for more than a year, Guanzhong has not been completely isolated from Longxi, so the people here also know some of the practices of the Huashan Army in Guanzhong.

In addition, the soldiers of the Huashan Army did not commit any crimes in the autumn, so although the city changed hands, the entire county was unusually calm.

After resting for a morning, Li Xin recovered his spirits, and then summoned all the generals to the county government to discuss matters!

"This battle went very smoothly! However, I don't want you to be complacent about it. The news that we have taken Qingshui County should spread soon, and when the time comes, the Fuqin Imperial Court will know about our troops. By the time they react, we won't have such a good chance! A hard battle is imminent, and you must always be cautious and cautious, and you must not make the same mistakes as the enemy, especially to warn the soldiers below you not to indulge in negligence. Violators will be punished severely! At the beginning of the meeting, Li Xin knocked on the generals below.

"General rest assured, we all understand, we must guard against arrogance and rashness, and be cautious against the enemy!" The generals looked stunned and hurriedly responded.

"Well, we have captured Qingshui County, and for the time being, we are mainly using this place as a base to carry out operations. During these two days, you hurried to rest and recuperate, and waited for the arrival of the enemy army. The Qin court will not sit idly by and watch us take Qingshui County, and it will inevitably send troops and horses to attack the city. Our existence is to attract enemy troops from all over the surrounding areas and create opportunities for other troops! Do you understand? Li Xin nodded and continued.

"General, with our five thousand soldiers and horses, it shouldn't be difficult to guard a small Qingshui county town. In the area of Luoyang County in the north, Fu Huangmei has 8,000 soldiers and horses, except for those who stay to defend Longguan, and those who can be transferred to attack us are only four or five thousand. In addition to the soldiers and horses mobilized from other places, the total number of generals will not exceed 8,000. In this case, wouldn't it be okay for us to leave 3,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city? The other 2,000 soldiers and horses, why don't they go south to seize Linwei County? "A lieutenant clearly has some ideas about this plan.

"That's right! If we take Linwei County, wouldn't it be even more shocking to the Fu Qin Imperial Court? In this way, I am afraid that they will mobilize more soldiers and horses. For General Zhou and General Li, wouldn't it be easier to act? Hearing this, the other generals couldn't help but agree.

"Confused, it is naturally easy to take the county seat. But if you want to keep them, where is it so simple? Once we divide our forces and occupy two county seats, not to mention the increased difficulty of guarding, when the enemy attacks one of the county seats, will the soldiers and horses of the other county be saved or not? You must know that our plan this time is just to lure the enemy, we are all gathered together, and the enemy has to attack this place, and there is no choice at all. Moreover, with 5,000 soldiers and horses in hand, you can hold on for longer! The longer we hold it, the more troops and horses the enemy will have to deploy in order to recapture the city! Wouldn't that be beneficial? Li Xin immediately rejected this suggestion.

In fact, they had already considered this plan when they first planned it. After discussion, it was finally decided to take only Qingshui County.

As for whether you want to lay a bigger territory, it is naturally needless to say, otherwise, why go so far to fight!

The problem is that temporary patience is for the sake of greater gains later. As long as Qingshui County can be used to consume a large amount of the enemy's living force, the future battle will be much easier.

Hearing this explanation, the generals who made the suggestion couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, after all, where did they think of it so far. However, they can't be blamed for this, because they weren't there when the plan was made!

"In short, to step up preparations for defense, we must be like an iron nail, firmly nailed here, to attract the enemy!" Li Xin didn't reprimand, nodded, and sent them away.

Qingshui County was blocked, and although it was said that it was impossible to enter and exit, in this way, some people in the suburbs soon knew the news of the Huashan army's entry into the city. Especially the official errand who travels between the counties, after getting the news, was shocked and hurriedly went back to report it.

In less than a day, the surrounding Luoyang County, Linwei County, and Shangtai County a little further south already knew about this matter! Fu Qin's generals and officials were all taken aback, because they had no idea when Li Xin had called.

Thinking of the importance of this matter, the urgent documents from the counties were immediately sent to the desk of Fu Sheng in Xiangwu County like snowflakes. And the one who got the news one step earlier than him was naturally the king of Guangping and the general of Wei, Fu Huangmei.

"Bastard, this king has repeatedly reminded Fu Shuang to be careful of the sneak attack of the Huashan army, but he didn't listen! Now that the catastrophe has happened, he is dead, but he has handed over this Qingshui County to others, and he has also buried my 6,000 army! "In the county office of Luoyang County, which was requisitioned as a temporary general's mansion, Fu Huangmei, who had just received the news, was so angry that he almost smashed the table in front of him.

"King, it's useless to be angry now, the only way to do this is to find a way to recapture Qingshui County. Otherwise, then Li Xin would occupy this county and be connected with the Great Earthquake, and the Huashan Army in Guanzhong would have a foothold in Qinzhou and could continue to go to Qinzhou. When the time comes, if we want to beat them back, it will be too difficult! "Because of the importance of the matter, all the generals were summoned to discuss it, at this time Jianjie General Deng Qiang said.

"Yes, the king should decide quickly! Qingshui County is a barrier between Luoyang County and Qinzhou. If we lose Qingshui County, Luoyang County will be in danger, and if we lose Luoyang County, there will be no danger to defend the east of Qinzhou, which is extremely unfavorable to us! General Zuo Lu Polou also said.

Lu Polou is a native of Luoyang, and he is naturally the most aware of the situation in this place.

"Please make a quick decision on the king!" The generals said in unison.

"This king has already planned this matter, Qingshui County will inevitably be recaptured, but the land of Longguan is equally important and cannot be ignored. Otherwise, it is very likely that the Huashan Army will take advantage of the situation! The soldiers and horses here cannot be exhausted, and the king wants to personally lead an army of 4,000 to Qingshui County. Then mobilize the soldiers and horses of Linwei, Tianshui, Xinyang, and Xianxin counties to go together, with a total of 8,000 troops. If there is no accident, Qingshui County can be recaptured! Fu Huangmei pondered for a moment before speaking.

"If you leave, my king, who shall rule this place? If the last general leads the troops to go, the king himself will sit here to guard against the enemy of Longguan! Jianjie General Deng Qiang got up and said.

"The last general is willing to go!" Lu Polou also asked for help.

"Everyone wants to go to the First World War!" The rest of the generals also stood up to show their loyalty.

"The king has already decided on this matter. After the king left, this place was led by General Zuo, and he tried his best to defend the enemy of Longguan! Fu Huangmei raised his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then made arrangements.

When they heard this, the generals said no more. After that, Fu Huangmei ordered a few more generals to set off with him, and the matter was decided. He wrote an official document on the spot and sent people to the counties to transfer troops, so that they could rush to Qingshui County as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that Li Xin's fame is big enough, especially for Fu Qin's civil and military officials. When Fu Sheng and the others got the news that Li Xin appeared on their territory, everyone had a feeling of being a great enemy.

Although Fu Sheng is a tyrant, after receiving the recitals from all over the country, he also attaches great importance to this matter. After all, he has not dealt with Li Xin for a day or two, and he deeply knows what it means to be a bad person.

Therefore, immediately convene the ministers to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy!
