Chapter 81: Xue Zhenwen
Of course, now this Xue Zhenwen is still alive and well, judging from the current information, he is now leading people to fight guerrillas outside Chang'an City. Although there are not many soldiers and horses, there are more than 3,000 people, and Li Xin doesn't want to end up with him.
However, thinking of this Xue Zhenwen, Li Xin suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, if we go to attack the city this time, we can order people to ambush on the roads on both sides of the city, and once the enemy's cavalry enters the city, it is just right to come to a siege point to send reinforcements. Although the streets in Chang'an City are wide, they are not as good as the plains outside, as long as we use some means and arrange more obstacles to get out, they will not be allowed to enter! After thinking for a while, Li Xin suddenly patted the case.
"Having said that, 10,000 of our soldiers and horses have gone to attack the city, so who will deal with these cavalry?" Li Erhei said curiously.
Although there are tens of thousands of people in the Huashan Army today, they still have to guard the place, right? Five thousand soldiers and horses guarded the land of the three counties plus one Tongguan, which was just enough. If you transfer a few thousand more soldiers and horses, it will be simply self-defeating.
"You don't have to transfer troops from us, I have other ideas. In short, let's just act directly then! Li Xin smiled mysteriously and didn't explain too much.
Zhou Tong and Li Erhei glanced at each other, and didn't ask anything more, they were already used to Li Xin's sudden thoughts. Moreover, it is often proven to work wonders afterwards.
After letting the two go back to prepare, Li Xin brought Tu Qi and asked him to do something for him. After everything was explained, it was time to prepare for the next action.
At this time, Chang'an City was far less than the area of Xi'an City in later generations, after all, it was just a city, even after years of construction in the Western Han Dynasty. Later, after many wars, it would be good if the city could basically be preserved, let alone expanded.
The weather in April is still very cool. Shunyang Taishou Xue Zhenwen led his troops and horses along the west bank of Bashui, and at the same time to see if there was a chance to find the enemy's traces.
This Bashui coast is not too far from the east city wall of Chang'an, and since Fu Qin has now concentrated all his troops together, there is no one to guard this city. Because of the war, the people in the city basically fled as soon as they could, and those who couldn't escape couldn't hide at home.
As he walked, the scout at the front suddenly ran back, as if he was still holding a man. Seeing this scene, Xue Zhenwen couldn't help but raise her hand to stop the team and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"General Qiyu, we have caught a fine work!" The scout said quickly.
"Oh, bring it and show me!" Hearing this, Xue Zhenwen was overjoyed.
"My lord, this adult, I'm not a fine worker, I came here to find you!" The man who was arrested hurriedly shouted.
"Come to me? Who are you? What do you want me to do? Xue Zhenwen listened and immediately wondered. After that, he ordered someone to bring this person forward, but found that he did not know him.
The person who came was Tu Qi, he obeyed Li Xin's instructions and specially came to find this Xue Zhenwen to cooperate. When he came to him at this time, he couldn't help but take a look, and only felt that this person was quite strong and ordinary, but he was quite domineering on a horse.
"My lord, I wonder if I can talk to you alone?" Tu Qi arched his hand.
"Bold, do you want to be bad for adults?" Before Xue Zhenwen could speak, the pro-soldier next to him reprimanded.
"No, no, no, it's just that what I'm going to say is a great opportunity for adults to make meritorious contributions, if it is known by too many people, the opportunity is not secret, and adults are afraid that they will miss this opportunity!" Tu Qi hurriedly shook his head and said.
"Oh? Do you have any confidential matters to talk to me about? Can you still make me do a great job? Well, I'll give you a chance. Stand down, all of you! Hearing that he could make meritorious contributions, Xue Zhenwen couldn't help but be moved, and hurriedly broke up the soldiers around him. However, those soldiers still surrounded from a distance of dozens of meters, pointing at Tu Qi with bows and arrows in their hands, for fear that he would be unfavorable to Xue Zhenwen.
"My lord, I am under the command of General Li Xin Li of the Huashan Army, and I came here this time to discuss cooperation with my general." Seeing this, Tu Qi said in a low voice.
"Huashan Army? Is it the group of homeless people who occupy Huayin? A little outcast, but he dares to call himself a general? It's disrespectful! Hearing this, Xue Zhenwen thought about it for a while, and then seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but show a trace of disdain, and said.
Hearing this, Tu Qi couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, he admired Li Xin very much. If it weren't for Li Xin's previous explanation, I'm afraid he would want to turn around and leave directly now.
"The general of my family knows that you are brave and good at fighting, and he specially asked me to give you a great credit, but I didn't expect that the adult would speak badly and hurt people, which is really a loss of identity!" Although he couldn't leave it alone, Tu Qi didn't plan to give him any good attitude.
"Don't talk nonsense, if you really have a great merit to give it to me, Lord Ben will forgive you for this disrespect. If not, you won't be able to come and go! Xue Zhenwen didn't expect this little homeless person to dare to speak like this, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his tone was a little better and said.
"My lord, that's the case, my general is going to ........!" Seeing this, Tu Qi didn't care about him, and hurriedly put forward the plan.
Xue Zhenwen originally looked disdainful, but as he listened, the expression on his face began to change slowly. Soon, there was only a look of joy on his face, and he asked, "Does your general really have such an idea?" But why did you find me? ”
At this time, he didn't even care about the so-called concept of respect and inferiority before, and directly called General Li Xin. Seeing this scene, Tu Qi couldn't help but secretly despise in his heart, I'm afraid this is not a snob! However, since the other party seems to be interested, it is much easier.
"Don't hide it from your lordship, my general knows that your lord suggested to the general to attack Chang'an directly, but he was refused. General Lee felt that your idea coincided with his, so he decided to ask the general to act together. If the strength of our three families is combined, there are more than 15,000 people, so are you afraid that you won't be able to take Chang'an City? Can't you catch Fu Jian? ”
"It seems that your general is well-informed enough! This is a good proposal, but how will the credit be counted when the time comes? Xue Zhenwen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then glanced at Tu Qi thoughtfully and said lightly.
"Oh, this is simple, when I came, my general explained, as long as the general joins, when Fu Jian is caught, he will be handed over to you to deal with. In this way, this great work should not be able to run! Of course, if you don't join, General, then this great achievement can only be enjoyed by us! Tu Qi replied.
Hearing this, Xue Zhenwen didn't answer for a while, but pondered there. Tu Qi didn't rush him, knowing that he still had to think about it first.
"Very well, in that case, then Ben-sama joined! I hope you will keep your promise when the time comes, otherwise, don't blame me for not being merciful. After thinking about it for a while, Xue Zhenwen was finally moved by the huge benefits, but it was obvious that they couldn't believe in Huashan Army and Huyan Poison.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, the reputation of our Huashan Army is well-known. By the way, my general also said that if you decide to join, I'm afraid you'll have to plan carefully. After all, when the time comes, when General Huan fights with Fu Qin, it will inevitably be to gather all the soldiers and horses to act, and if the adults are not there, I am afraid they will have to be subject to military law. Please think about this matter first! Tu Qi saw that he agreed, so he continued.
Xue Zhenwen, who was originally excited and looking forward to making great achievements, suddenly seemed to be poured a basin of cold water at this time. Indeed, if this problem is not solved, I am afraid that not only will I not take credit, but I will have to be punished.
After thinking about it for a while, he didn't come up with a clue. If he wants to give up this cooperation, he is very unwilling, after all, catching Fu Jian is only the first achievement of this Northern Expedition. Seeing his embarrassed look, Tu Qi decided to remind him.
"Adults seem to be very embarrassed, but from a small point of view, this matter is actually easy to solve!"
"Oh? Do you have a way? Xue Zhenwen, who was distressed, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looking quite unconvinced.
"It's actually quite simple! Some of your cronies may have left them in the camp. As soon as it's time for us to act, you ask them to report to the general and tell us about our cooperation. By this time, the general should know what to do! Not only will I not blame you, but I will also help us in attacking the small city of Chang'an, and try our best to hold back the army outside the city! What do you think? Tu Qi smiled and said slowly.
"Is that what you mean, or is it your general's idea?" Hearing this, Xue Zhenwen's eyes couldn't help but light up, but soon he looked at Tu Qi with suspicious eyes and asked.
Tu Qi did not answer this question. After all, what is the difference between what Li Xin thinks and what he thinks, as long as it works. When Xue Zhenwen saw him, he quickly understood that he had asked a meaningless question, so he didn't ask any more.
"If you don't have any doubts, then let's just say it, and when the time comes, let's act together and build a great achievement. If the adults can really bring Fu Jian back, although it can't be compared with the merits of General Huan Pingshu, it is not a problem to be among the uncles. With the current status of an adult, I'm afraid that it will be promoted several levels in a row! Of course, this matter must be kept strictly secret before the action, if it is known to others, I am afraid that it will be difficult for adults to succeed, and if it is known to the enemy, this plan will be impossible to talk about! Tu Qi finally said.
Hearing this, Xue Zhenwen's heart suddenly beat wildly, and the last bit of hesitation in his heart was completely thrown away. nodded and said, "Go back and tell your general, I'll wait for his news!" 166 Reading Network
