The Menshui Qin camp, where the Qin generals and guards are located, is located in the upper reaches of the Menshui that flows through Hangu Pass, in the southwest of about thirty miles away from Hangu Pass.

There is a relatively smooth road for this journey, all Bai Qi has to do is to pass through the Hangu Pass, which is fifteen miles long, and then go straight south along the Menshui Trail to the south, you can reach the Menshui Qin Camp, this distance is still relatively convenient.

About an hour before the evening, Bai Qi took Sima Jin and Wang Yi and his party to the Menshui Qin camp.

At this time, in the area of the Qin camp in Menshui, there were many cavalry of the Qin State wandering there.

"Is that cavalry?"

After seeing those cavalrymen, Wang Di asked in surprise.

Don't look at Wang Ji is a new Qin general promoted by Xiang Shou, but the novelty of cavalry is still quite rare in Qin, after all, Qin has only been training cavalry for about two years, and the last batch of trained cavalry was all wiped out by Fangcheng cavalry in the Yuncheng area during the Battle of Wanfang, it can be said that Qin is not very experienced in training cavalry.

"Not bad."

After hearing Wang Di's surprise, Bai Qi explained without concealment.

These Qin cavalry are the soldiers of Hu Yu, the general of Yiqu under his command, after the battle of Wanfang, he re-incorporated the cavalry under Hu Yu, the number is not much, probably more than 1,000 horses, but compared with the previous 2,000 Qin cavalry, the difference is that this group of Qin cavalry has adopted bilateral stirrups that imitate the cavalry of Fangcheng, and the combat capability has been greatly enhanced, but because this time the Qin State is on the defensive side, and the terrain around Hangu Pass is not conducive to the defenders to send cavalry, Therefore, Bai Qi deployed this cavalry in the area of the Menshui Qin camp to strengthen the garrison of this military camp.

Of course, the main reason is that he was afraid of the Fangcheng cavalry under Meng Zhong, and if he was not sure, he would no longer ask the cavalry under his command to die in vain, so as not to follow in the footsteps of the more than 2,000 cavalry before.

You know, the cost of training a cavalryman is still very high.

Because they noticed Bai Qi and his party, even if there were Qin cavalry who approached them and asked about their intentions.

When he saw that Bai Qi came in person, the team of Qin cavalry hurriedly turned over and dismounted and saluted, respectfully inquiring about the intention, and at the same time, the team also sent someone to notify the Menshui Qin camp, so that when Bai Qi went to the area of the Menshui Qin camp, to be precise, when he came to the west bank of Menshui, the guards of the military camp, Hu Yu and others, had crossed the bridge with the guards to greet them.

"Wei Yuan, Hu Yu, I've seen Bai Shuai."

"Hmm."

After saluting, General Qin asked Bai Qi curiously: "Bai Shuai, have you received the news that the last general sent someone?" ”

"Hmm." Bai Qi nodded and said, "That's what I'm here for." …… Let's go to the camp first. ”

"Whoa!"

A moment later, Wei Yuan led Bai Qi, Sima Jin, and Wang Yi across the bridge to the general's tent in the Menshui Qin camp.

Bai Qi was not polite, and sat down directly at the main seat in the tent, and immediately beckoned everyone to take a seat in the tent.

After the generals sat down, he asked Wei Yuan: "Wei Yuan, where are the armies of Qi and Yan at present?" ”

Wei Yuan hugged his fists and replied: "According to the scouts, the armies of Qi and Yan are currently camping on a mountain about twenty miles away, and they are not in a hurry to attack, probably because they are afraid that they will be repelled by our army if they have an unstable foothold...... The last general was thinking about whether to send someone to harass him. ”

Hearing this, Bai Qi frowned and thought about it, and then asked, "Jin, Qi and Yan's armies...... Who will be the master? ”

As soon as the words fell, Sima Jin, who was standing beside him, replied: "The main general of the Qi army is Tian Touch, and the main general of the Yan army is called Le Yi." ”

"Oh."

Bai Qi nodded abruptly.

I have to say that among the coalition forces opposite, there are really not many enemy generals who can make him remember his name, at best, there are only a few people such as Meng Zhong, Li Dui, Storm Kite, Li Ji, etc., but only Meng Zhong is the one who really makes him jealous.

As for Qi Jiang Tian Touch and Yan General Le Yi, Bai Qi only has a general impression at best.

Moreover, the reason why he has some impressions of these two people is not because of the two people themselves, but because of the experience of these two people.

After all, as far as Bai Qi knows, Tian Touch is a junior general cultivated by Kuang Zhang, a famous general of Qi State, and Le Yi, this person was Meng Zhong's deputy general when he was in Zhao State, Meng Zhong doesn't need to say much, this time the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin, Bai Qi was most afraid of Meng Zhong.

And Kuang Zhang is the enemy general of other countries who was feared and feared by the previous generation of Qin people, just like the late famous general Yingji, Bai Qi will more or less pay due respect to Kuang Zhang.

Because of this reason, Bai Qi also paid a little attention to Tian Touch and Le Yi, after all, if you think about it, you also know that if these two people are not capable, why would Kuang Zhang cultivate Tian Touch? Why did Meng Zhong want Le Yi as his lieutenant?

Bai Qi is not very familiar with Kuang Zhang, but Bai Qi is still very concerned about Meng Zhong and the people around him.

For example, Menghu, Huahu, Lejin and others.

Especially Menghu and Huahu, as two generals who chased and killed him with hundreds of Wei cavalry in the later stage of the Battle of Yique, these two people actually have a lot of popularity in the Qin army.

However, Meng Zhong's former deputy general in Zhao was neither Meng Hu nor Hua Hu, but an almost unknown Le Yi, which made Bai Qi a little curious about this person.

After relaying Sima Cuo's words to himself, Bai Qi immediately said to Wei Yuan: "I originally planned to try to solve the armies of Qi and Yan first, but Sima Lao felt that the two armies of Qi and Yan and the armies of Wei, Zhao, and Han may not be in unison, so he suggested that I try to get in touch with the Qi general Tian Touch, and try to make the two armies of Qi and Yan serve as the internal ...... of our army."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan and Hu Yu were full of surprise and looked at each other.

It's no wonder, after all, the status of these two is just generals with troops, and they don't know much about the inside story, so naturally there is no way to judge whether Bai Qi's idea is beneficial or harmful.

And Bai Qi obviously didn't have the intention of discussing with Wei Yuan and Hu Yu, and after explaining the inside story, he ordered: "I'll write a letter later, Hu Yu, you send cavalry to the place where Qi and Yan's armies are located, and hand them over to each other." …… As for the guards, you are still in charge of the defense of the camp. ”

"Whoa!"

Wei Yuan and Hu Yu hugged their fists to lead their lives.

A moment later, Bai Qi wrote a simple letter, asking the Qin cavalry under Hu Yu to send it to the Qi and Yan armies.

As Wei Yuan said, at this time, the two armies of Qi and Yan were building a camp on a mountain about twenty miles away from the Menshui Qin camp, and they were not in a hurry to attack the Menshui Qin camp.

It's no wonder, after all, over the years, Tian Touch has been beaten all over the ground by the armies of Zhao, Song, and Wei - in fact, they were all Meng Zhong - and he has long since lost his arrogance and contempt for the enemy in the battle of Zhu Ke, and has become more and more stable.

And Le Yi is purely messing around.

Under such circumstances, the armies of Qi and Yan would certainly not be as offensive as the armies of Wei, Zhao, and Han.

While the soldiers were building the camp, Tian Touch and Le Yi also discussed the situation in front of them in the makeshift tent on the mountain station.

I have to say that at this moment, Tian Touch is really in a dilemma and in a dilemma, because the task given to him by King Qi Tiandi is not simply to ask him to secretly sabotage the actions of the coalition forces to crusade against Qin, but to make this battle a stalemate, because only by making the two sides deadlocked, then when he Qi State launches a war against Song State again, the armies of Wei, Zhao, and Han will naturally be unable to support Song State because it is difficult to withdraw from this battlefield.

Yes, to put it simply, this time the Qi state supported the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, and Han to jointly attack the Qin state, which was itself a conspiracy, and the purpose was to make the main armies of Wei, Zhao, and Han fall into a war with the Qin army and not be able to get out of the quagmire, and could not affect the Qi state's attempt to attack the Song state.

If it goes well, it is best to trick the main army of the Song State into crusading against the Song State.

But unfortunately, this wish of Qi failed to succeed, and Song did not know whether he was really embarrassed to crusade against Qin, the country that had just helped them, or if someone saw through his intentions of Qi, all in all, in this war against Qin, Song did not send a single soldier, which is why so far, Qi still does not dare to rashly launch a war against Song.

In view of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders to make this battle stalemate, Tian Touch can't purely say which side he is on, but for now, he wants to drag the coalition forces back, after all, the coalition army's offensive is too strong - to be exact, it should be that Yuncheng Jun is too strong, he actually pressed the Qin army in Hangu Pass to fight, and the Qin army on the opposite side of the ground almost didn't dare to take a step out of the pass.

I have to say that in recent decades, except for his famous general Kuang Zhang of the Qi State, the generals of the entire Central Plains have never achieved such a state, even if it is the Xi Wu and Zhai Zhang of the Wei State, or the violent kite of South Korea, or the Li Dui and Zhao Cheng of the Zhao State - among them, the Zhao master father of the Zhao State is an exception, after all, the strength of the King of Zhao Wuling is more than that of the Yuncheng Jun, so strong that he not only interfered in the affairs of the Qin State, but also made the Qin State submit to it, which is unimaginable.

In view of wanting to hold back the coalition forces, Tian Touch naturally would not rush to attack the Menshui Qin camp.

He had already thought about it, and then it would drag on for another month or two in the name of building siege equipment, in short, how slow it would be, anyway, in his opinion, Le Yi would not betray him, if Fengyang Jun Li Dui and Storm Kite and others were dissatisfied with this, then he could retreat and give various reasons.

Of course, if it is dragged and delayed, no matter how it is said during the period, the Qin army of the Qin camp will have to fight a few battles, so as not to fall into any tricks.

But I'm afraid that the Qin army on the opposite side doesn't know his intentions, and he has no intention of fighting the Qin army at that time, but the Qin army on the opposite side will pull him with a hammer, and it won't end well - yes, this is also the reason why Tian Touch doesn't dare to invade the Menshui Qin camp at the moment.

Le Yi is naturally very clear about Tian Yi's plans, after all, Tian Yi trusts him very much, and tells him everything he has in mind, and Le Yi doesn't even have to guess.

As for Tian Fu's intention to drag the coalition forces back, Le Yi is also quite supportive.

On the surface, his explanation of Tian Touch is that only Qi Guo is the first to look forward, but in fact, Le Yi knows very well that Tian Touch's approach will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among Wei, Zhao, and Han, as long as it is conducive to Qi being hostile to Wei, Zhao, and Han, he Le Yi will support it.

As for whether the Three Jin Dynasty will be angry with him in the Yan Kingdom...... I'm sorry, my Yan Kingdom is just a small country that can't help it, how dare I disobey the opinion of a strong country like Qi State?

Yes, now Yan Guo plays the role of a small country sent by Qi State, so no matter what you think, Sanjin will not be angry with Yan State with dissatisfaction or hostility towards Qi State, as long as he Yan State dissociates itself from Qi State in time at the right time.

Because of this, no matter how Tian Fu wanted to delay the coalition forces, Le Yi would not interfere, and even he would secretly add fuel to the fire to ensure that the Qi State would offend the Sanjin.

Of course, considering that Tian Touch is not a fool, and Le Yi is not easy to do too obviously, therefore, keeping silent and obeying Tian Touch's proposition is the best consideration at present.

Just like now, Tian Touch talked endlessly about what method he was going to use to perfunctory Fengyangjun Li Dui's group, and Le Yi just listened silently, nodding and cooperating with Tian Touch from time to time, this is enough, there is no need to do anything superfluous.

However, just when Le Yi was barely listening to Tian Touch's perfunctory methods of Li Dui, Storm Kite and others, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent, and immediately, an abrupt report interrupted Tian Touch's narration: "Qiqi Touch, a letter was sent by the cavalry of the Qin State, and it was handed over to you." ”

Le Yi, who had been a little sleepy before, was stunned when he heard this, and opened his half-squinted eyes and looked at Tian Yan in confusion.

And Tian Touch also felt inexplicable, thought about it and said, "Come in." ”

As soon as the words fell, a young general of the Qi army walked into the tent and handed a bamboo tube to Tian Touch with both hands.

Tian touched the bamboo tube and looked at it, then opened the lid of the bamboo tube, took out a piece of white cloth with handwriting from the inside, and looked at it carefully.

Seeing this, Le Yi asked curiously, "Who sent the letter?" What is written? ”

I have to say that Tian Touch really trusted Le Yi, and after reading it, he handed the letter to Le Yi casually, and immediately asked the young general solemnly: "This matter ...... How many people know? ”

The young general replied, "It was the scouts patrolling the bottom of the mountain who came across the group of Qin cavalry, only they know, and the commander of the scout has also instructed not to spread the matter." ”

"Good." Tian Touch nodded and said: "Go back and tell them, I will give them an extra month's salary when I go back, but this matter must not be spread, if the news leaks, I will not spare it!" …… Go ahead! ”

"Whoa!" The youngster retreated with his fists clenched.

Watching the young general withdraw from the tent, Tian Touch turned to look at Le Yi at this time.

At this time, Le Yi probably finished reading the contents of the letter.

The content of the letter is very simple, removing some praise for Qi Guo and praise for the famous general Kuang Zhang, and summing it up in only one sentence, that is, about Tian Tu meeting in private, what to say is to discuss.

And what made Le Yi's expression solemn was the signing of this letter, which clearly wrote the words "Qin Baiqi".

This letter was sent by Bai Qi, the commander of the Qin army.

"I have never had a relationship with this Bai Qi, he invited me to meet in private for no reason, do you think there will be any tricks?" Tian Yan frowned and said suspiciously: "As far as I know, this white trick is quite cunning and cunning. ”

"I don't know ......"

Le Yi shook his head slightly.

In fact, compared to Bai Qi's conspiracy and intrigue, wanting to trap Tian Fu, in fact, Le Yi was inclined to another guess, that is, Bai Qi saw that he was not in harmony with the coalition army, and wanted to join the army to defect and jointly deal with the army of the Three Jins.

This incident made him hesitate a little, after all, even if he put aside his friendship with Meng Zhong, he didn't want the main force of the Three Jin Dynasty to suffer too serious losses in this battle, otherwise who would help him Yan State fall Qi State?

But if you think about it carefully, this may be a good opportunity for Qi to deeply offend the Three Jins, as long as the planning is done properly, so that the army of the Three Jin Dynasty will not suffer heavy casualties.

Thinking of this, he pretended to think about it and said: "Right now, we and the Qin State are friends and foes, Bai Qi suddenly asked Tentacles to meet in private, presumably he should also know that Tentacles will inevitably bring a full soldier, so he will not be stupid to think that he can take the opportunity to kill Tentacles by taking advantage of this private meeting, right?" …… The commander of the Qin army, isn't he so naïve? ”

"That's ...... too"

Tian Touch nodded thoughtfully, and then asked Le Yi: "That...... Should I accept this invitation? ”

Le Yi thought for a while and said, "It's okay to go and see what Bai Qi wants to do." …… In case there is any conspiracy, I will go with you. ”

As soon as he heard this, Tian Yan hurriedly said: "No, you stay in the camp, in case the Qin army has any tricks and wants to lure me away from attacking you and my army, you are in the camp, I will also feel at ease." ”

"You think too highly of yourself, don't you? It's almost ...... to lure you away, and it's almost to change to Ah Zhong."

Hearing Tian Yi's words, the corners of Le Yi's mouth twitched a few times, but he still said quietly: "You can rest assured in this matter, you and my two armies occupy the mountains and camp, even if the Qin army comes to attack, you and my two armies are enough to repel it." …… Or I will go with you, so that we can take care of each other. ”

Tian Touch was quite moved when he heard this, and patted Le Yi's arm to express his closeness.

After making a decision, Tian Touch sent his henchmen to the Menshui Qin camp with a reply letter, and made an appointment to meet the next morning in the valley about a few miles away on the west side of the mountain.

The next morning, Tian Touch and Le Yi each took 100 elite soldiers to the meeting place.

In the distance, the two saw a chariot parked in the valley in front of them, followed by about two dozen Qin cavalrymen standing on horseback.

I saw that on the carriage, there was a young general who had a visual inspection of twenty-five or sixteen, with a cold expression and eyes like torches, looking very unusual.

"Could it be the commander of the Qin army, Bai Qi? So young?'

Tian Touch muttered to himself, and after telling Le Yi and the accompanying soldiers to be on guard, he and Le Yi each rode forward in a chariot, and then stopped about three zhang away from Bai Qi.

At this time, I saw Bai Qi clasping his fists, smiling and greeting: "Aren't the two of you the tentacles of Qi and the Le Yi Le Da Sima of Yan Kingdom?" In the lower white. ”

"Is it really white?"

Glancing at Tian Yi, Le Yi also looked Bai Qi up and down curiously.

After all, he also knew that the man in front of him, who claimed to be Bai Qi, was his brother Meng Zhong's old enemy, and Meng Zhong also reminded him many times to be wary of this Bai Qi.

But Le Yi really didn't expect that this Bai Qi was so young, and he seemed to be a few years older than him and Meng Zhong.

"In the lower Qi country field touch."

"In Xia Yan Guo Le Yi."

With all kinds of curiosity, Tian Touch and Le Yi returned the salute, and then asked with some questions: "I don't know what is the important matter of Your Excellency's invitation to come here?" ”

As he spoke, Tian Fu's gaze frequently turned around, as if he was looking for an ambush from the Qin army nearby.

Noticing Tian Touch's actions, Bai Qi smiled and said, "Why should the touch be like this? This time, Bai came with kindness......"

As soon as he heard this, Le Yi immediately confirmed his guess.

The Bai Qi in front of him was indeed here to induce him and Qi Yan's two armies to defect!
