"Shi Jian instructed me to kill the two generals, Wang Shicheng and Li Chang, so that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Handan would be leaderless, and it would be difficult to become a climate. So today, the old servant has brought back the information that Shi Jian wants, and of course, the two generals are now safe and sound! But Shi Jian must have two actions. ”

Shi Min asked, "Which two actions?" ”

"First, the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Handan have always been the most taboo for Shi Jian, and when they have no leader, he will definitely send Wang Luan north to completely solve this hidden danger. As a result, Shi Jian's advantage of 30,000 soldiers and horses outside the city was gone. Second, to be on the safe side, he will lure you into the palace and take the opportunity to take you down! Handan and Yecheng shot at the same time, in order to do it once and for all, and leave no trouble! Qin Huaishan said, turning over the parchment, it was a map, Qin Huaishan pointed to several locations on the map and said to Shi Min: "Also, according to reliable information, Pengcheng, Luoyang and other places have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses marching towards Yecheng one after another, these soldiers and horses combined, I am afraid there are 100,000 people, all of whom are Shi Jian using various means to make them attached." Therefore, today's young emperor is just an ornament, as long as the obstacle of the Xihua Marquis Mansion is cleared, he will be the emperor. ”

"That's right! That's what Shikan planned! Although Wang Luan's soldiers and horses are the elite of the Qiang people, there are second and third uncles, and they do not pose a threat to us. Shi Min thought for a while, looked at Qin Huaishan and said: "But there is another problem, now in Yecheng, although the Xihua Marquis Mansion has many ears and eyes, it is only more than 2,000 people, and it is impossible to confront the soldiers and horses of the 20,000 patrol battalion and thousands of forbidden troops!" ”

"Presumably the young master has already thought of Wen Cang, right?"

"That's right!" Shi Min said, glanced at Xu San, and said, "It's a pity that I haven't found Wen Cang and Shi Yong's family until now." ”

"Wen Cang and Shi Yong's family?" Qin Huaishan was a little puzzled.

"That's right! Zhang Bao also wanted to take advantage of my entry into the palace that day, but he didn't expect that Wen Cang and Shi Yong's families fell into the hands of Shi Jian, and Wen Cang defected, so Zhang Bao would be defeated! ”

"Does the young master want to repay the other with his own way?"

Shi Min nodded and said, "That's right! ”

Qin Huaishan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and said slowly: "The young master's idea is good, but if you don't grasp Wen Cang's handle, you can only think about it after all......"

"I've searched all over Yecheng and outside, and Brother Hong has no clue!" Xu San said rather frustratedly.

"Shijian has multiple secret strongholds, and it's not that easy to find!" Qin Huaishan said, turning over the map again.

With the faint light of the fire, Qin Huaishan stared at the city defense map of Yecheng for a while, and said, "I'm not completely sure, so far, I can only give it a try!" ”

"How so? Do you have a clue? ”

Qin Huaishan didn't nod or shake his head, he said to Xu San: "Steward Xu, please come forward and take a look!" ”

Xu San hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where?" ”

Qin Huaishan pointed to a few places and asked, "Have you ever sent someone to see these places?" ”

Xu San carefully looked at the position of Qin Huaishan's finger and said, "These places you are referring to are either wine shops, brothels, or places where dogs and pigs are slaughtered, people come and go, how can it be possible to hide two women and a few children?" ”

Qin Huaishan waved his hand and said, "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest place!" Shi Jian's situation is often unexpected. A few months ago, who of you would have thought that King Ning, who barely left the house on weekdays and had no name, would be such a careerist who knew how to strategize? What he wants is something that others can't think of. ”

"You have a point! Now, only dead horses are treated as live horse doctors! Shi Min thought for a while and instructed Xu San: "Write down these places and let people find out the situation immediately!" If there is news, report it immediately! ”

Xu San hurriedly got up and responded, "Understood!" ”

Xu San left the house, walked to the door, and muttered a few more words to Zhang Mufeng, Zhang Mufeng quietly turned his head to look at the house, and then nodded, Xu San left with confidence.

"Young master, there is one thing, the old servant wants to take the liberty to ask." Qin Huaishan said knowingly.

"What?"

"The wolf rider has been away from Handan for many days, what are you going to do?"

Shi Min asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" Let's hear it. ”

Qin Huaishan could hear what Shi Min meant, but he didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Wang Luan's soldiers and horses outside the city will definitely go north before noon tomorrow at the latest, so that as long as the gate of Yecheng can be opened at that time, the wolf cavalry captain can drive straight in!" Once Wen Cang is reversed, coupled with the strength of the wolf cavalry, with the 20,000 earth dogs and wooden chickens in the patrol battalion, it will not be a threat! ”

"What you're talking about is the ideal situation!" Shi Min glanced at Qin Huaishan and asked, "But the problem is that the stone appraisal committee ordered the city gate to be closed, no matter how powerful the wolf cavalry captain is, the war horse will not climb the wall after all." ”

"The strongest city in the world often breaks through from within!" Qin Huaishan said, pointed to the patrol map of Yecheng again, and said: "The old servant knows that there is a road that can go straight to the outside of the city, if you send some wolf cavalry captains to sneak into the city first, and then cooperate with the people of the Xihuahou Mansion in the city, as long as there are five hundred people, these five hundred people will definitely be able to open the city gate!" Give soldiers and horses from outside the city a chance to enter the city! ”

Shi Min asked: "Yecheng is surrounded by city walls, how can I get the way out of the city?" ”

"If you don't have it on the ground, you can have it underground!" Qin Huaishan smiled mysteriously, pointed to the map and said, "There is a secret passage that can pass through the city wall!" Straight out of the city! ”

Shi Min was a little disbelieving, looked at Qin Huaishan's finger position, and asked, "Who dug this secret passage?" ”

Qin Huaishan pointed at himself and said, "It was the old servant who dug it himself!" ”

"You dug it yourself?" Shi Min was a little surprised.

"That's right!" Qin Huaishan nodded slightly, and said: "The old servant has been in Yecheng for more than ten years, and he knows that he may be involved in some kind of battle one day, so he must leave a way out for himself!" It took me six years to dig through the tunnel. ”

"Where is the entrance to this tunnel?" Shi Min couldn't help but ask.

"Young Master, can you take a closer look at where we are now?" Qin Huaishan stroked his beard and said.

"Now?" Shi Min thought for a while, suddenly realized, and said, "The entrance to the secret passage is here?" ”

"That's right! It's in this room! Qin Huaishan stood up with a smile, saluted Shi Min slightly, and said, "Son, get up!" ”

Shi Min was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up and stood aside, Qin Huaishan carefully removed the table, moved away from the two wooden boards, and a black hole was exposed.

"This is it?" Shi Min asked, pointing to the entrance of the cave.

"Exactly!" Qin Huaishan said, picked up the oil lamp, and asked, "Young master, do you want to go down and have a look?" ”

"Wait!" Standing at the door, waiting for Zhang Mufeng to suddenly speak, he asked: "Since there is this secret passage, why don't you withdraw all the people from the Xihua Marquis Mansion now, and we will go back to Handan directly, and then lead the army to kill back, wouldn't it be better?" ”

"Nope! Absolutely not! Qin Huaishan waved his hand firmly.

"Why not? Why do you have to take this risk? ”

"Back in Handan, do you think we can really rely on tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and a Handan city? The grain and grass in Handan City is only enough for four months at most, but there will be hundreds of thousands of troops outside Handan City at that time, how to deal with it? Qin Huaishan said, and said to Shi Min: "You are taking risks, and Shi Jian is also taking risks again!" If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger? Today, you and dozens of people from the Xihuahou Mansion may be able to retreat with their whole bodies, but if you want to take down Shijian again in the future, it will not be so easy! ”

Shi Min gritted his teeth and said, "You're right, this is indeed a rare opportunity!" ”
