Li Qin decided to send Gao Shun to attack the other two occupied county seats, while he himself led his troops to Yunwu County to rescue Leng Zheng and Chen Yi, who was the county guard of Jincheng County.

Don't look at Lingju County and Yunwu County are both in Jincheng County, but the distance is really not close, and there are two big rivers to cross, these two big rivers are tributaries of the Yellow River, the river is very wide, in the current season, it is not suitable for a large number of cavalry to march. If the weather is colder, the river is frozen, and the ice is solid, then the cavalry can go directly from the ice, if it is warmer, you can also go by boat, but now the river is frozen, and the boat can't pass, but the ice is not solid, and the cavalry can't go over either.

When he arrived at the first river, Wu Danzi found out the situation on the river and reported back to Li Qin, Li Qin felt bad and wanted to raid, but the Fujiao Army suddenly appeared outside Yunwu County, and Han Sui was caught off guard, which seemed to be unlikely.

Wu Danzi said: "Li Lang, otherwise let's follow Li Wenhou's escape direction and rush to Yunwu County, they are going to go far away, but it is only three more days away, and it is not too long, maybe we can catch up with him halfway through, and kill him!" ”

Li Qin called over to Jia Xu and asked, "There is a big river in front of you, what do you think you should do, but you have to follow Li Wenhou's back?" The road he walked could also get to Yunwu County, but it was just three more days! ”

Jia Xu thought for a while and asked Wu Danzi: "The ice in the big river in front of you is not frozen?" How many days will it take for the ice to support our men and horses to cross the river? ”

Wu Danzi said: "I chiseled a small piece of ice just now, and depending on the thickness, it will take at least five days." You can't look at the ice just right, you have to be thicker, I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that when our people and horses are halfway through, the ice surface will crack all of a sudden, that's a fatal thing! ”

Jia Xu said: "Five days, it takes three days to go around, but in fact, there are only two more days, which is not too much." Let's go over the ice without going far. ”

After a pause, Jia Xu said again: "But these days, don't be idle, ordinary soldiers can't get past the current ice, you scouts can always get by, right?" ”

Wu Danzi said proudly: "Of course it won't be difficult for us, we can all dig holes in the ice, isn't it easy to get over!" Jia Juncheng has any clever plan for us to do, let's say it! ”

Jia Xu said: "You first cross the river, go to Yunwu County, and mix into Beigong Boyu's army to spread rumors, just say that Li Wenhou has returned to the imperial court, and negotiated the conditions with the Fujiao army in Lingju County, and when we defeat the Qiang soldiers of Beigong Boyu, we will appoint Li Wenhou as an official, let him be the military Sima of Lingju County, and temporarily take the post of county commander, as long as he cooperates with the official army in the subsequent battle, then report to the imperial court and officially appoint him as the county commander." ”

Wu Danzi grinned and said, "Just a county's military Sima, it seems that a bit of an official is too small!" ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The rumors are mainly to make others believe, if you want to let Li Wenhou be the captain of Jincheng County, then he is not worth the price, and the captain must be appointed by the imperial court, but it is not a condition that can be negotiated before the battle, so people who understand it will know that it is a rumor as soon as they hear it, but it can be said that let Li Wenhou be a military commander, this rumor is difficult to distinguish between true and false. ”

Li Qin laughed twice and said, "When I listen to it now, I almost think it's true." ”

Wu Danzi was happy and said: "Cheng, then I will go and spread rumors like this, and talk about Li Wenhou's bad words!" He took a team of scouts and crossed the river to Yunwu County.

Li Qin took the Fujiao Army Brigade and waited by the river, as Wu Danzi expected, waited for five days, the ice on the river surface was solid, the brigade carefully crossed the river, but walked for two days, but came to the front of the river the next day, this river is wider than the first one, this is in the vast and sparsely populated Liangzhou, if it is placed in the densely populated Central Plains, the banks of the big river do not know what prosperity looks like, but here you can look around, dozens of miles around, even a family can not see, desolate to the extreme.

They camped by the river that night, and when it was dawn the next day, they dared to cross the river, but they were still cautious, and the whole group passed over the river. But in this way, the time was delayed for a long time, and the Fujiao army was only half out of the line, and there were rebellious Qiang troops coming from behind.

This Qiang army did not come to pursue the Fujiao army, they were scared out of the county town by Gao Shun. Gao Shun led the artillery to push the cart covered with black cloth, shouting nonsense under the city, and all the Qiang soldiers were shocked, they had already learned about the loss of Lingju County, but the specific situation was unknown, Li Wenhou did not take this road.

After listening to Gao Shun's shouting below, the Qiang soldiers still wanted to support it again, they felt that there were not many Fujiao soldiers below, and there were tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers in the city, if they were frightened by more than a hundred Fujiao soldiers and fled the city, it would be too embarrassing. However, they did not flee immediately, but they were also shocked by Gao Shun's words, and they did not dare to open the city to meet them.

In fact, it is still embarrassing enough, more than 10,000 Qiang soldiers were blocked in the city by more than 100 horn soldiers, and they didn't even have the courage to go out of the city to fight.

That night, Gao Shun asked the gunners to shoot a big stone on the city wall, and the big stone was also poured with fire oil, and after it was projected into the air, the archer fired a rocket to ignite the big stone, and the big stone burst into flames and smashed into the city wall!

It was even more simple than Lingju County, and the Qiang soldiers in this county town didn't use the gunners to throw three big stones in a row, but this big fireball smashed over, and they all fled, escaped from the city from another city gate, and fled to Yunwu County with their tails, to find Beigong Zhiyu and Han Sui!

Gao Shun saw the Qiang soldiers fleeing, he took the Fujiao soldiers as a posture to chase after him, and did not dare to get too close, after all, there were too many deserters, they didn't dare to really catch up and cut them down, and they couldn't scare away the Qiang soldiers by cutting people, but it would expose that they were not heavenly soldiers, and it was the big stone that really scared the Qiang soldiers away!

The Qiang soldiers fled all the way to the east, crossed two big rivers in a row, and caught up with the Fujiao Army from behind!

The Qiang general who led the troops suddenly found that there was a Han army in front of him, and when he saw that the banner turned out to be the Fujiao army, he was taken aback, reined in his war horse, and ordered the Qiang soldiers to stop.

He reprimanded his deputy: "I felt strange just now, why are there so many chariot and horse footprints in the snow, I didn't think it was the Han army, why didn't you remind me just now!" ”

The deputy was almost reprimanded to cry, in fact, he had already told the Qiang general who led the troops that there were so many chariot and horse marks on the road ahead, it was possible that they belonged to the Han army, but the Qiang general who led the troops reprimanded him, saying that this might be left by the fleeing people, and they chased after them, and they could loot and vent their anger at being driven out of the city by the Fujiao army. But he never thought about it, but he happened to meet the brigade of the Fujiao Army, but General Qiang reprimanded himself again, which was too wronged!

The Qiang soldiers faced the Fujiao army, which was a sudden encounter, but the Fujiao army was already ready, and the scout after the break had already told Li Qin the news, and the Fujiao army was waiting in formation, it had been more than two quarters of an hour, and the Fujiao soldiers were so cold that they were about to stomp their feet and scold, if the Qiang soldiers didn't come again, they would have passed!

The Qiang general who led the troops looked at the Fujiao army in front, the two armies were only separated by more than three miles, and both sides had horses, this distance was really not enough. More than three miles away, looking at the past, people are not much bigger than ants, but he saw that the ants in the distance actually listed a neat phalanx, and when he saw this military formation, he knew that it was not easy to provoke, not to mention that he didn't need to look at the military formation, he knew that it was not easy to provoke when he heard that it was the Fujiao army!

General Qiang swallowed his saliva and asked his deputy: "What should we do now, see that their number is not much less than ours, if we rush over, we are afraid that we will not be able to win, but will suffer a big loss." Do you have any good ideas, hurry up and say one! ”

The deputy stubbornly said: "This, it's really not a good idea!" ”

General Qiang shouted: "Hurry up and think of one, you can't wait here any longer, wait a little longer, maybe they will come, even if we don't rush over, won't they rush over!" ”

The deputy thought to himself: "Then you just say just turn around and run away, otherwise you will have it, why do you have to say it!" He said: "I heard that horn soldier named Gao or something say that Li Wenhou has returned to the government, then he will become a traitor!" Otherwise, let's go and crusade against him, capture Li Wenhou, and dedicate it to the king of Beigong? ”

General Qiang was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded and said, "Your idea is good, it is very much in line with me, why didn't you say it earlier!" Come on, pass the order, turn around, let's go to crusade against Li Wenhou, go now, hurry! ”

The Qiang soldiers thought to themselves: "Crusade against Li Wenhou? Where is Li Wenhou? I guess I'm going to Yunwu County now, let's go to crusade against him, we should go forward, why turn around? ”

But in the face of the Fujiao Army, the Qiang generals have lost their courage, and those of them who are small soldiers, even if they have the courage, how bold can they be? Whatever the leader says, follow suit!

Turning the horse's head, the Qiang soldiers rushed back to the river, wanting to cross the river quickly, far away from the Fujiao army.

Li Qin saw that the Qiang soldiers had fled, and turned to Jia Xu and said, "You really didn't expect it wrong, they really didn't dare to come over." ”

Jia Xu smiled, beckoned a few loud horn soldiers, and said, "Go over and shout, just shout as I teach you!" ”

The loud-voiced horn soldiers rushed forward, chased after the Qiang soldiers, pulled their necks and shouted: "For the sake of Li Wenhou and Li Jun's face, I will spare you this time, if you meet again next time, you will not be spared!" "Repeatedly shouted in Qiang.

When the Qiang soldiers heard the shout, everyone was angry, because they didn't engage in battle, so the Fujiao army didn't chase after them, they naturally wouldn't thank Li Wenhou, so they didn't think that they had touched Li Wenhou's face, but they were all thinking: "Is it true that Li Wenhou has rebelled and defected to the government?" I also made a military horse! ”

This group of Qiang soldiers passed over the river and continued to rush to Yunwu County around the distance, but the Fujiao army behind really didn't chase after them, it seemed that they really sold Li Wenhou a face!

Li Qin continued to hurry with the Fujiao army, and after two days, it was fifty miles away from Yunwu County, and Li Qin ordered to set up camp, waiting for the return of the black eggs who went to spread rumors.

Yungo County. Beigong Boyu and Han Sui soldiers besieged the county seat.

In the big tent, Beigong Boyu sat in the center, Han Sui sat in his left hand, another Han sat in his right hand, and opposite them, stood Li Wenhou!

Everyone in the tent had gloomy faces, but they didn't speak!
