On September 22, the 23rd year of Hongwu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the camp of the Zhou army under the Qinhan Valley Pass

In the evening of the same day, the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who learned that Xie An and Li Shou had led the army to arrive, ordered a banquet to be set up for Xie An and Li Shou.

After three rounds of drinking, the eldest grandson Xiangyu left the table under the pretext of leaving, and before leaving, she gave Xie An a look,

Xie An'an comprehended, and after a toast to the dozens of generals in the tent, he also left his seat under the pretext of going to the toilet, after all, he also had a lot to say to the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

Not far out of the tent, Xie An really saw the eldest grandson Xiangyu standing next to a pile of haystacks, shaking the folding fan in his hand, and looking at him with a smile.

Seeing this, Xie An walked over, and while walking slowly in the camp side by side with the eldest grandson Xiangyu, he told her everything that had happened in the past few days, but he omitted the matter about Jin Ling'er.

When Xie An learned about the Taiping Army, the eldest grandson Xiangyu's eyes became a little solemn, and she snapped the folding fan in her hand, frowned and said, "Do you mean that behind the scenes of the whole thing, the Taiping Army is manipulating?"

"Probably yes...... Xie An nodded and asked, "What do you think?"

The eldest grandson Xiangyu thought for a while, nodded and said, "At this time, there is no need to fight to the death with the Taiping army...... What's more, the enemy is secretive and I am clear, and you have handled the affairs of the country very well and wisely, according to what you said, most of this person has not known that his identity has been exposed, so that we can use his mouth to convey some wrong information to the Taiping army......"

Seeing that the eldest grandson Xiangyu didn't seem to know anything about this matter before, Xie An asked strangely. Don't you notice that something is wrong with this these days?"

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu shook his head, frowned and said, "The slave family originally thought that the mastermind behind the design of this rebellion was hiding in this rebel army, but according to the experience of this way, this person does not seem to be here, otherwise, the slave family may not be able to attack this place so easily......" Speaking of this, she sighed slightly. There was a bit of regret in her eyes, as if she was regretting that the woman who seemed to her to be as intelligent and as strategic as her was not hiding in the rebels like Chen Bei at the moment.

Looking at her expression, Xie Anxin's nameless fire burst out.

"Then again, you're really a liar......"

"Liar?" Eldest Sun Xiangyu blinked innocently.

"Isn't it?" Glaring at the eldest grandson Xiangyu with hatred, Xie An said viciously, "What else to say, [If you can't reach Hangu Pass smoothly, remember. My eldest grandson Xiangyu was killed by you], but what is the result? You take those 30,000 with you. For more than 20 days, the rebels broke through seven cities in a row, and also burned the grain and grass in the pond, forcing Qin Wei to give up the Hanhan Valley Pass...... After a long time, you're just kidding me? I was so worried about you at the time! "

"You're worried about people?" The eldest grandson Xiangyu raised his head and looked at Xie An unexpectedly, Xie An's face was stunned, and he snorted coldly, don't look over.

"Okay, dignified seven-foot man, why is the measure so narrow? What do you have to do with a slave family? Don't be afraid to make people laugh when you spread it! "

"Humph!" Xie An rolled his eyes.

"Look at your little bit of interest!" The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, glanced at Xie An angrily. took a step closer to Xie An, tapped Xie An's chest with the folding fan in his hand, and said with a chuckle, "Aren't you doing a great job?" It's even better than the slave family expected......"

"No matter how good you are, you can't compare to you!" Xie An pursed his lips and said angrily, "For more than twenty days, I have traveled more than 2,000 miles in a row. It also broke seven cities and passes of the rebels...... As for me, I just took advantage of the remaining momentum of your strong capture of Luoyang, and took advantage of the situation to demote Zhang Dong, Ou Peng, Tang Hao and others......"

You must know that the eldest grandson Xiangyu is not Jin Ling'er, and a simple-minded woman like Liang Qiuwu can see at a glance that Xie Anxin is not a taste. Put on a pitiful expression and beg for mercy, "Even if people are wrong......

"Even?" Xie An snorted.

"Okay, people are wrong, people know it's wrong, Brother An......"

Maybe it's because the lust provoked by Jin Ling'er these days has not subsided, so that when Xie An heard the soft voice of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, he actually felt a little uneasy, looked directly at the delicate red lips of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and swallowed his saliva inexplicably.

With the intelligence of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, how could he not see that Xie An was wrong, seeing this, he chuckled and said in an inexplicable tone, "What does Brother An want to do?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Xie An gently hugging the eldest grandson Xiangyu, lowering his head, and kissing her on the lips.

Even the eldest grandson Xiangyu didn't feel a little distracted at this time, his hands were on Xie An's chest, his willow eyebrows trembled slightly, and his chest rose and fell.

I don't know how long it took, the eldest grandson Xiangyu came to his senses, gently pushed Xie An, saw that Xie An was still hugging her tightly, lowered his head with a slightly red face, and said softly, "Xie An, this is the end of the ......"

At this time, Xie An also looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu with a bewildered expression, perhaps, his move was just an impulse, so that after kissing the eldest grandson Xiangyu, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, and now when he heard the eldest grandson Xiangyu say this, he quickly let go.

The eldest grandson Xiangyu raised his right index finger, nodded his slightly moist red lips, and then raised his head and glanced at Xie An deeply, and suddenly chuckled, "I haven't seen you for more than 20 days, Brother An seems to have learned badly, bullying others like this, people will tell Sister Wu when they turn around, and ask Sister Wu to administer ......justice for others."

To be honest, when the eldest grandson Xiangyu was silent, Xie An was really a little nervous, after all, she was the only woman who couldn't see through Xie An, and he didn't know what this woman with intelligence far above him was thinking, until he heard her speak very calmly, he was slightly relieved.

In addition to being relieved, Xie An couldn't help but feel a little jealous of the woman of the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

Xie An still remembers the first time he kissed Jin Ling'er, at that time, Jin Ling'er was ashamed and angry, and he wanted to kill him with his eyes, right, this is the reaction that a woman should have in the face of this kind of thing, but the eldest grandson Xiangyu at the moment. She was too calm, calmly as if Xie An was not kissing her, although there was a moment of distraction at first, but in retrospect, it was probably surprised by his Xie An's guts.

The eldest grandson Xiangyu, this woman, is too calm......

Looking at the woman in front of him who was not in the [Four Princesses], but her talents were better than [Four Princesses], Xie An suddenly had an inexplicable premonition.

His instincts told him if he couldn't tie down this terrible woman with his feelings. Maybe one day, she will become Xie An's most troublesome and most difficult enemy......

"What's wrong?" As if seeing the strange look on Xie An's face, the eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled.

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing......" Xie An, who had just woken up from a dream, shook his head and said embarrassedly, "I thought you would be angry......"

"Brother An is so light on the slave family, the slave family will naturally be angry," the eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled, and then glanced deeply at Xie An. He chuckled and said, "But. . . For the sake of Brother An's failure to disappoint the slave family this time, I'll spare you once......"

Hearing the eldest grandson Xiangyu say this, Xie An secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then scratched his head, and said with a wry smile, "Actually, if you hadn't captured Luoyang so strongly, which made Zhang Dong feel cold, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to convince him......" Speaking of this. His voice stopped abruptly as the eldest grandson Xiangyu's finger was on his lips, stopping him from continuing.

"It's called [luck]!" Under Xie An's puzzled gaze, the eldest grandson Xiangyu Zhengse said, "The so-called luck refers to the opportunity that cannot be obtained by will and hard work, also called [opportunity]...... You're right. It is precisely because my eldest grandson Xiangyu conquered Luoyang in one day that Zhang Dong and others were frightened and lost their fighting spirit, but in the final analysis. Isn't it still you who seized that opportunity? ╠╠ It has nothing to do with wisdom, at least you have the guts, you have the guts to persuade Zhang Dong to defect alone, yes, that's the credit of your Xie An, not my eldest grandson Xiangyu......"

Seeing that Xiangyu, the eldest grandson who had always liked to hit him, actually said such inspirational words to motivate him, Xie An couldn't help but be a little moved, and looked at her with an incredulous expression.

"Having said that, it has indeed changed slightly......" Tilting his head and looking Xie An up and down, the eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled, "Compared to more than 20 days ago, it is a little more mature, quite a bit of momentum, like a man who stands up to the sky, if Sister Wu sees it, she will definitely be happy in her heart, right?"

"Xiangyu ......" Xie An couldn't cry or laugh, and said angrily, "So, didn't I look like a man before?"

"Giggles...... "The eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled and hit mercilessly, "Yes, it's like a wayward child......"

"Hey, you're not much older than me, are you?"

"Look at you, come again, just praised you twice, but the result was completely revealed, arguing with a slave woman and a Taoist family, you are really promising!"

"You ......" Xie An was speechless for a moment, and looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu helplessly.

In all fairness, if you want to say that among the women who have captivated the country and the city, Liang Qiuwu, Yiyi, Jin Ling'er, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who is the most embarrassed and feels unbearable, I am afraid that there is only this woman in front of me.

In front of her, even if Xie An has a sharp tongue, he often can't get a bargain.

Now, Xie An finally realized what Jin Ling'er felt a few days ago.

"Okay, okay, dignified seven-foot man, what does your sad face look like? You have just subdued Zhang Dong, Tang Hao and other 90,000 rebels, don't let those people underestimate you, put on the prestige of joining the army......" As he spoke, the eldest grandson Xiangyu shrank slightly, frowned and said, "The wind is a little strong, let's go back to the tent first......"

"Hmm!" Xie An nodded, and was about to raise his feet, when suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked at his eldest grandson Xiangyu and said apologetically, "Xiangyu, I'm really sorry for that incident......

The eldest grandson Xiangyu was slightly stunned, and then smiled slightly, "Is it about the Southern Army?" ╠╠Did the slave say yes?"

"Hmm...... That's all right! ╠╠As you said, the Southern Army could hardly be called an army at that time, and it held me and Li Shou hostage, if it wasn't for Lu Gong waking up at that time, the consequences would be really unimaginable......"

"Now that you've learned your lesson, why bother with it?"

"I just thought I didn't understand anything at the time, so I pointed fingers......"

"Huh," Eldest Sun Xiangyu said lightly, raised his right hand, pointed his finger at Xie An's lips, stopped his words, and said softly, "Don't mention the past...... she said, she seemed to think of something. Blinked and said, "So right now, are people still military advisors?"

"Of course!" Xie An nodded, learned the movement of the generals holding their fists, and said in a deep voice, "The last general, Xie An, led 120,000 soldiers under his command, and is willing to listen to the dispatch of the eldest grandson's military division!" ╠╠ No more words! "

"The last general? ...... "Looking at Xie An's contrived movements, the eldest grandson Xiangyu couldn't help laughing, and then stood on tiptoe. She kissed the corner of Xie An's mouth lightly, blinked and said, "For the sake of you being so obedient, I'll give you another reward......" As she spoke, she carried her hands on her back and jumped towards the handsome tent.

Since she was facing away from Xie An, Xie An, who was looking sluggish, didn't notice that the eldest grandson Xiangyu's face was slightly red.

And at the same time. Li Shou and a group of generals are still drinking and having fun in the tent.

During this period, Xiang Qing vigorously opened to Yan and Luo Chao and the two boasted of his great exploits these days. With an arrogant expression, Chen Gang's face turned red angrily, and he was silent.

"These days, the younger brother and the little brother followed the military division to break through the rebel city, seven passes, a total of seventy or eighty thousand rebels, and the enemy army who died in the hands of the younger brother was as many as four or five thousand people, but I didn't know. On the eldest brother and the second brother's side, how is the battle going??

When Xiang Qing said this, not only did his own eyebrows flutter, but even Luo Chao, who had always been expressionless, made an exception and showed a bit of self-satisfaction.

Looking at the smug expressions of these two people, Chen Gang was secretly annoyed in his heart.

Seeing this, Xiang Qing smiled. Leaned over and asked, "Second brother, do you remember the first bet?" ╠╠I don't know how many enemy soldiers the second brother has killed??

Chen Gang opened his mouth. Bite one's tongue.

It's no wonder, after all, he followed Xie An's way, it can be said that he is bloodless, how can he have any chance to kill the enemy.

After all, it was Yan Kai Laocheng, patted Chen Gang's shoulder, looked at Xiang Qing and said with a smile, "Third brother, don't be complacent, although you didn't kill the enemy soldiers along the way, but you have recovered as many as 90,000 rebels...... Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and glanced at Zhang Dong, Tang Hao and the others apologetically.

And Zhang Dong and Tang Hao obviously saw that this was the two groups of Zhou Jun showing off their exploits, and they didn't mind, but looked at Xiang Qing with a smile How to answer.

I saw Xiang Qing's face froze when he heard this, he looked at Yan Kai in disbelief, and said in surprise, "Nine...... Ninety thousand?"

Looking at Xiang Qing's shocked expression, Chen Gang seemed to have a feeling of raising his eyebrows, licked his lips and smiled, "Xiaoqing, what's wrong?" Why this expression? Kad ╠ I and Brother Yan didn't make a move, but I don't need to wait for a shot......"

"That makes sense!" Yan Kai smiled slightly, nodded and said.

Xiang Qing and Luo Chao glanced at each other and looked at each other, although they had also broken the rebel army of seventy or eighty thousand, but in the final analysis, it was obviously not as glorious as the subjugation of others.

Thinking of this, Xiang Qing sat down a little embarrassed, but it was Chen Gang who was unforgiving, and teased Xiang Qing in turn.

And in the other corner, Wu Peng, the general of the Zhou army in the west, was talking about the strategy used by Sun Xiangyu, the chief of the road, and Su Xin, Li Jing and others were stunned, and even Tang Hao, Zhang Dong and other original rebel generals couldn't help but be attracted by the things that Wu Peng said.

"…… It's just 300 soldiers, you know? Wu took 300 soldiers who changed the clothes and armor of the rebels, mixed into the new city, and took the city without much effort......"

Before Wu Peng's words were finished, Qi Hao, who was with him all the way, stood up, wiped the wine stains on his mouth, and said with great interest, "The most interesting thing is in Yongning, Yongning's more than 8,000 rebels stupidly guarded the city all night, they never imagined that the confrontation with them was just thousands of straw men, the army division's brigade of men and horses, and they had already taken advantage of the night to go to the pond......" As he spoke, he told all the things before and after, and he heard that the generals in the tent admired the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

As for Zhang Dong, Tang Hao and other former rebel generals, they were even more shocked when they heard it, and now, they have learned that it was the eldest grandson Xiangyu who conquered Luoyang with such whimsical ideas, and now, when they heard that this woman actually played with Yongning's eight thousand soldiers in the palm of their hands, they were shocked in their hearts, but they were even more jealous, and they laughed dryly twice, looking at each other.

It may be that seeing that the limelight of the generals of the partial division overshadowed the main division, Su Xin and Li Jing were not to be outdone, and they also said how Xie An used Wen Fa to seek Hanhan Valley Pass, and also said it 1510, and sure enough, when they heard that the main division soldiers took the Hanhan Valley Pass without blood, Liu Yi, Wu Peng, Qi Hao and others, who were still proud, were also shocked.

With the wine jar the wine is little less and less. The enthusiasm of the generals in the tent to show off the results of the battle to each other gradually retreated, and began to discuss some matters about Qinhan Valley Pass.

"By the way, Liu Yi," after taking a sip of wine, Li Jing asked curiously, "According to what you just said, it has been nearly ten days since you arrived at this Qin Pass, right?" ╠╠Except for standing still, didn't the military advisor give any orders?"

Seeing that there are no outsiders in the tent. Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "Well, the military advisor ordered our army to dig a hole in the camp and dig it under the Qin Pass......"

"Digging a hole?" Fei Guo was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously, "Could it be that the military master wants to dig a tunnel leading to the Qin Pass?" But as far as Fei knows, Qin Guan has a [listening urn]?

The so-called [listening urn] refers to burying a kind of jar with a small mouth and a large belly into the ground and covering the mouth of the urn with a layer? When there is a need for detection, he leans his ear on it to listen to the surrounding movements.

When the Qin people designed such majestic passes as Qinhan Valley Pass, they also expected that perhaps foreign enemies would dig tunnels and tunnels to attack the pass, so they buried a row of listening urns at the foot of the city wall, and set up one every twenty zhang to detect the movement underground.

It can be said that the movement within a radius of ten miles. Almost nothing escaped the ears of the defenders in the pass.

However, the eldest grandson Xiangyu still wants to attack the majestic Qin Pass by digging tunnels?

The generals in the tent calmed down when they heard this, waiting for Liu Yi to explain.

Liu Yi obviously didn't know that Fei Guo was a member of the Taiping Army, so he smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "I waited all the way to listen to the orders of the military advisor, and the military advisor called dig. I'll dig it up later......"

Su Xin was stunned, and said in surprise, "Could it be that the military master doesn't know that Qin Guan has a [listening urn]?"

"No," Qi Hao shook his head. said, "The ...... that the military advisor knows" said, he paused, and said with a wry smile, "Actually, it doesn't matter if there is [listening to the urn] or not, you don't know, the military advisor still wants me to dig in broad daylight in front of the defenders of Qinguan...... You can also see it, our military camp is only seven or eight miles away from Qinguan, we are waiting to dig a hole in the camp, and the rebels on the city wall can see it clearly...... No, the other party also started digging! "

The generals in the tent nodded when they heard this, whether it was Li Jing, Su Xin, Zhang Dong, or Tang Hao, they all knew what Qi Hao meant by the sentence [the other party also began to dig].

Obviously, most of the rebels in the Qin Pass planned to dig a tunnel underground along the city wall, preferably to dig through the tunnel dug by the Zhou army of the Western Expedition.

"What are you going to do?" Su Xin glanced at the generals in the tent in confusion.

The generals in the tent frowned and pondered when they heard this, but in the end, they all shook their heads, among them, Liu Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The wisdom of the military advisor, like that of mortals like us, how can I guess it?" ╠╠ The military advisor let you dig, just dig! ╠╠Fortunately, the general and Lord Xie led more than 100,000 troops to arrive, speaking of which, I am really frightened these days, for fear that the rebels in Qin Pass will suddenly come out......"

The generals in the tent looked at each other and smiled, they knew what Liu Yi and the others were worried about, it was nothing more than that the location of the camp set up by the eldest grandson Xiangyu was too close to Qin Pass, only seven or eight miles, if they didn't notice that the rebels in Qin Pass took advantage of the night to kill, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

And at this moment, the tent was lifted, and Xie An and the eldest grandson Xiangyu walked in.

As if noticing that the tent was quite quiet, Xie An couldn't help but wonder a little, and said with a smile, "Generals, are you drinking today?" Tina Zhao? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Xie An seemed to have misunderstood, Su Xin stood up, clasped his fists and said with a smile, "My lord misunderstood, we are trying to figure out the strategy of the military division to capture Qinguan, but our talent is limited, and it is difficult to guess ......."

"Oh?" Xie An was interested when he heard this, and together with the eldest grandson Xiangyu, he came to the chief of the tent on the left side and sat down, and said with a smile, "Let's hear it!" "

"Yes!" Su Xin hugged his fists, and repeated what Liu Yi and the others had said, and Xie An frowned when he heard it.

His intuition told him that with the wisdom of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, he would never use such a superficial trick as digging a tunnel to deal with Qin Guan.

It's no wonder, after all, according to Xie An's understanding of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, he knows very well that this woman has always disdained conspiracy, and the tricks she uses are all yang schemes, in other words, even if the other party notices it, he has to be led by her nose.

Would such a scheming woman use a trick like digging a tunnel that does not stand up to scrutiny? And in front of the enemy, in the name of the earth, as if the other party did not know?

"What the hell do you want to do?" Xie An asked the woman beside him in a low voice.

I saw the eldest grandson Xiangyu pick up the wine cup, cover his mouth with a folding fan, take a sip, and then said with a faint smile, "Guess, Xie Da joined the army!" "

Seeing the expectant eyes of Su Xin, Li Jing, Zhang Dong, Tang Hao, Liao Li and others, Xie An was really embarrassed to say that he didn't know, so he pretended to nod and said, "Well, this official has a rough idea...... Strategist, let's dial it down a little, ...... a little"

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu shook his head with a smile, but he didn't say anything, put down the folding fan in his hand, glanced at Xie An, and said lightly, "Before the end of October, this army division must conquer Qinguan!" ╠╠In the past 40 days, if you guess, even if you win! ╠╠Do you want to gamble?"

Looking at her conceited expression, Xie An exhaled fiercely, nodded like a ghost, and said, "Okay! Bet on it! ╠╠ Bet on you! "

"......" The eldest grandson Xiangyu was slightly shocked when he heard this, and almost dropped the folding fan in his hand, and looked at Xie An with a stunned face.

"Ahh ╠╠As you wish! "
