When Baili Kecheng's army marched in the Nanling Mountains, it was discovered by the Fourth Regiment that crossed the Nanling Mountains and went to carry Jia Tianxiang's goods, Fuliang hurriedly sent people back to report the enemy situation to Qian Buli, and he himself sent a small force to harass and fight after soliciting the advice of the generals transferred from Ren Shuai, while the large force lurked in the mountains of Nanling, waiting for an opportunity.

The news reached Qian Buli's camp, and Qian Buli immediately convened a military meeting, found his handsome account with all the generals, and told Baili Kecheng about his march into Fuzhou in public.

"My lord, the soldiers are coming! The last general is willing to take the lead with his own cavalry! Qin Chongsan first stood up and asked for his life, although they came to Fuzhou and could not be regarded as sending people under the fence, but they were always a little apprehensive in their hearts, so Qin Chongsan wanted to take the opportunity to show the combat power of the Iron Cavalry of Jiazhiguan.

"My lord, the last general is willing to take the lead!" Du Bing also stood up, as the commander of the Fuzhou cavalry, he didn't want to be compared to others.

"Hmm... Qian Buli nodded noncommittally: "Let's all share our opinions." ”

Zheng Xinglang hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, will there be fraud in this?" The infantry in Fuzhou has exceeded 10,000 people, plus the iron cavalry in my spine pass, the total number of troops has approached 20,000, and Baili Kecheng actually sent 15,000 people to attack Fuzhou. It's a bit unlikely, right? Otherwise, the report is inaccurate, and there are more than 15,000 soldiers in Baili Kecheng! ”

"This can't be wrong, the Poison Dragon Brigade was recently reorganized by me, Baili Kecheng may not know the news of Fuzhou yet, his judgment is derived from the number of the original garrison army in Fuzhou and the troops of Snow Plains City, at most plus your five thousand cavalry." Qian Buli smiled and said: "Obviously, Baili Kecheng looks down on Fuzhou, and his master also looks down on me Qian Buli, otherwise they will delay for a while, take the opportunity to prepare and train the troops, and wait for the accurate news of Fuzhou before marching into Fuzhou." ”

Wang Rui said: "My lord, then give them a great look!" Let them know that Fuzhou is not something to be insulted! ”

Zheng Xinglang continued: "With the adult's poisonous dragon brigade and my iron cavalry at the spine pass, it is good that Baili Kecheng can hold on to our hands for ten days!" Give them a look! ”

Du Bing said in a deep voice: "My lord, please let the last general take the lead!" He was very dissatisfied that Zheng Xinglang had missed his cavalry brigade, but Zheng Xinglang was his original superior, and no matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't show it on his face, so he could only show his dissatisfaction by grabbing merit.

Ren Shuai glanced at Du Bing and continued: "My lord, half of Baili Kecheng's soldiers are new soldiers, I bet they won't even survive ten days, this is to give us credit, the hand is fast, the hand is slow!" Hehe.... ”

"Do you have any other opinions?" Qian Buli glanced around.

"My lord, I feel that something is wrong." Qu Chengchun, who was next, hesitated and answered.

Zheng Xinglang glanced sideways at Qu Chengchun, shook his head slightly, how did the general of the spine pass come for the first time, being unconventional is likely to cause unnecessary trouble, even if both sides can restrain themselves, but being ridiculed is inevitable.

Qu Chengchun closed his mouth and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Qian Buli saw the small movements of the two people, and he smiled slightly: "Actually, my opinion is the same as Qu Chengchun's, and it is very inappropriate to fight head-on." ”

The generals in the handsome tent looked at Qian Buli with surprised eyes, and they all had a question in their hearts, obviously our army has an advantage, why can't we fight head-on?

"I hope everyone can take a long-term view, yes, we can defeat Baili Kecheng in ten days, or even less, and then what?" Qian Buli glanced around: "Then we have to face two Baili Kecheng, and then four, sooner or later we will not be able to parry, how can we fight against the power of a country with the power of one state?" ”

All the generals in the tent were silent, and they understood that it was right for money not to leave this.

"Whether we can win or not is a tactical issue, and whether we should fight or not is a strategic issue." Qian Buli pondered for a while: "What's more, we don't know what happened to the Central Plains now, where is Zamuhe?" What are the great legions of the empire doing? It is not a wise thing to defeat the jackals and usher in the hungry tigers. ”

Zheng Xinglang looked at Qian Buli: "Then what does the adult mean... ”

"This battle must be fought, but there must be a stalemate." Qian Buli gently tapped the table with his fingers: "General Zheng, I think the most critical issue in it is... Baili Kecheng knew that you came to Fuzhou with the iron cavalry of Jiazhi Pass, and he dared to enter Fuzhou, obviously he had made other plans. ”

Zheng Xinglang was stunned: "Please make it clear!" ”

"Let's be honest, even if Fuzhou only has your five thousand iron horses, Baili Kecheng doesn't want to touch a single hair in Fuzhou, but since he dares to come, it means that he already has a way to deal with you, what way... Qian Buli pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Or that he has something to threaten you, or that he uses something to buy you, and even that he may assassinate you, and then provoke a dispute between our two armies, even if he can't use you to deal with me, I have to make you refuse to cooperate with me and isolate me Qian Buli." ”

Zheng Xinglang laughed loudly: "My lord, you are too worried! As the saying goes: Father's hatred is not shared! Want to buy me? Threaten me? Ha ha.... I, Zheng Xinglang, am not a person who can be bribed or threatened! As for the assassination that the adults said... Zheng Xinglang paused when he said this: "Then let them come!" Let them try my Zheng Xinglang's sword is sharp or not! ”

Qian Buli's eyes turned around on Zheng Xinglang's first few generals, he deliberately said that Baili Kecheng might assassinate Zheng Xinglang, and took the opportunity to observe their reactions, if Zheng Xinglang died, there must be a high-ranking general who stood up to fan the flames, so he could create hostility between the two armies, so Qian Buli estimated that there was a traitor inside. But the result made Qian Buli very disappointed, although the demeanor of those generals looked nervous, their movements and expressions were very natural, and there was no trace of deliberateness. Of course, Qian Buli will not dispel his suspicions because he didn't see it, there are too many people in the world who act well.

"Either way, it's always good to be careful." Qian Buli sighed lightly, he always felt that Baili Kecheng seemed to be very sure of the relationship between the Fuzhou Army and Zheng Xinglang's cavalry, but Qian Buli couldn't guess the substance.

"Thank you for your concern!" Zheng Xinglang smiled and said, "My lord, then how should we deal with Baili Kecheng?" ”

"Gradually retreat from the defense, try to delay the time!" Qian Buli stood up and tapped a few times on the map behind him with his hand: "If Baili Kecheng is too arrogant, we will beat him, if Baili Kecheng is afraid, we will deliberately defeat the battle and give him some confidence, but these places must not be lost!" ”

All the generals in the tent nodded together: "Understood, my lord!" ”

"The most important thing in this is General Zheng's five thousand iron cavalry!" Qian Buli's gaze turned to Zheng Xinglang: "General Zheng, if Bailik Cheng sends a secret envoy to threaten you or win you over, you must be vain, so that he will think that he has a plan and be led away by our nose." Of course, General Zheng should be careful that Baili Kecheng carried out assassinations in the name of contact, but I think this is less likely. ”
