Seeing that Zhang Yu had a way, Hua An'an was very happy, and hurriedly asked, "What is the way, can you talk about it?" ”

Zhang Yu hugged his fists and said: "General, we only need to create some friction on the border and force Qiu Chi Guo to act, and then we can gradually expand the conflict, and finally meet each other and lead the main army to take Qiu Chi State." After speaking, he looked at Hua'an.

When Hua An heard this, he smiled slightly, the method proposed by Zhang Yu is indeed feasible according to reason, this method of creating friction at the border is a standard crime of desire, and it has almost been used in all dynasties.

Whenever a strong country wants to annex a weak country, it will inevitably create a conflict on the border first, and then there will be a pretext for a large-scale invasion, and the invasion will become logical.

However, Hua'an always felt that this was too obvious, after all, if he really used the border to provoke a conflict and eventually destroy Qiu Chi, people with brains all over the world could find out Hua'an's intentions, and the Great Jin Dynasty would see Hua'an's hidden ambitions because of this incident, which was extremely unfavorable to Hua'an's development at this stage.

Moreover, Qiu Chi has 20,000 troops, if Qiu Chi raises the whole army and the army of Hua'an to fight on the border, it will inevitably make Hua'an's troops and horses suffer great losses, and the consumption of various strategic materials will not be small, in addition, it will also greatly lose the hearts of the people of Qinzhou, which is very unfavorable to Hua'an.

The best way to deal with the Qiu Chi State is to let the multiple forces within it kill each other, and eventually lose both, so that Hua'an can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Seeing that Hua An's expression did not agree with his thoughts, Zhang Yu hugged his fists and asked, "Is there a better way for the general?" ”

Huaan did not answer positively. Instead, he asked, "How much do you know about the internal situation of Qiu Chi Kingdom?" ”

This question was not a difficult problem for Zhang Yu, who had traveled all over the world, and he soon told Hua'an all the information he knew about Qiu Chiguo.

It turned out that this Qiuchi country was established as early as 50 years ago, and the first generation of monarchs was Yang Maosou, who passed the monarch's position to his eldest son Yang Nandi after his death, and Yang Nandi passed the throne to his son Yang Yi after his death.

However, the fate of this Yang Yi is not very good. He reigned for only two years. was killed by his brother Yang Chu, so far, Yang Chu has been controlling Qiu Chi for nearly ten years, and has been a vassal to the Great Jin. He was appointed by the Great Jin Dynasty as an envoy, a general of Zhengnan, a history of Yongzhou assassination, and a prince of Qiu Chi.

Hear here. Hua An's head suddenly had a very bright feeling. Emotional Qiu Chi Gong Yang Chu was to seize the throne and ascend to the pinnacle of power, and Tong Guò ascended to the throne in this way, and he would inevitably kill many people. There will certainly be no shortage of enemies, and the credibility of the usurper is insufficient, so it is inevitable that some people will not accept it, and the stability of his regime has laid the root of the curse.

"Qiu Chi Gong Yang Chu, killing the clan brother Yang Yi is self-reliant, and the country has been sitting for nearly ten years! Now, it's time to come down. Hua An sighed, looked back at Zhang Yu, and said: "Although ten years have passed, there must still be people in Qiu Chi who have not forgotten this matter, you immediately send scouts to Qiu Chi to investigate in many ways, and you must fully grasp all the situations in Qiu Chi, especially in the hands of whom, this is the top priority of the investigation." ”

When Zhang Yu heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Yes, general, the next official will do it." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait." Hua An suddenly felt that there was something important that he had not explained.

"What else is the matter with the General?" Zhang Yu hugged his fists.

Hua An frowned and thought for a moment, and advised: "You must send the most reliable scouts to tell them to secretly investigate, and they must not let Qiu Chi find out." ”

"Don't worry, the general will explain it." Zhang Yu reassured, then turned around and walked out of the tent.

After Zhang Yu left, Xie Siming looked at Hua'an and said, "General, the annexation of Qiu Chi is a big deal, and the general must think twice!" ”

"Master Xie doesn't need to say it, for this matter, Ben Jiang has been thinking about it for a long time, and only by taking Qiu Chi can he ensure the safety of Liangzhou and Yizhou, and at the same time, it will also open up the best road in the Northern Expedition." Hua An replied.

Seeing that Hua'an insisted on making a move against Qiu Chiguo, Xie Siming hesitated for a moment, and felt that Hua'an's decision did make some sense, so he no longer objected.

According to Hua'an's request, Zhang Yu found ten of the most experienced scouts and warned them to secretly investigate, and then, these ten scouts left Nanzheng and rode their horses in the direction of Xiabiancheng.

In fact, for the sake of the secrecy of the investigation, Hua An originally planned to send the newly formed Congshi to Qiuchi to investigate, but considering that the Congshi Battalion had just been formed for less than a year, and these Congshi had never carried out a mission, whether they could find reliable information along the way, Hua Anzhong was still somewhat skeptical, besides, there were some things that Congshi could not complete at all.

However, Hua An thought about it and finally decided to send the Congshi into the country of Qiuchi and let them scout the situation with experienced scouts so that they could compare their strengths and weaknesses.

After thinking of sending the Cong, Hua An left the Assassin's Mansion and went to the direction of the newly built Deaf and Dumb Pavilion, although these Wise Men have officially joined the military, they are still stationed in the Deaf and Dumb Pavilion, but a large courtyard is prepared for them separately, so that they can train better, and at the same time, it can also play a role in concealing people's ears and eyes, increasing the mystery of the Cong Battalion.

When Hua An stepped into the courtyard of the Congshi camp, a hundred Congshi were undergoing combat training, and according to their different stature and physique, the weapons they held were also very different, such as hammers, swords, spears, daggers and other weapons, the whole hodgepodge.

The battalion owner Huang Fu Cong was responsible for training them, and the deputy camp leader Huang Fu Ming stood on the sidelines and watched, giving pointers from time to time.

"General, why are you here?" Seeing Hua An walk into the courtyard, Huang Fuming hurriedly walked a few steps closer and saluted Hua An.

Hua An waved his hand, so that Huang Fuming didn't have to salute, and then asked: "Huang Fuming, how is the training of the Congshi, can he perform the task?" ”

"General, is there a task for us?" Huang Fuming heard the implication in Hua'an's words.

Hua An smiled and said, "There is a very important thing to be handed over to you smart people to do, I don't know if you can complete the task." ”

"General rest assured, the Congshi Battalion will definitely be able to complete the task, please give orders to the general." Huang Fuming shouted for his life.

Hua An nodded with satisfaction, and handed over the task of exploring Qiu Chi to Huang Fuming, and asked him to investigate secretly, and never let Qiu Chi find out.

Huangfu swore that he would not make a mistake, and immediately selected more than ten people from more than 100 smart people, and immediately handed over the task of exploring Qiu Chi to these more than ten smart people in front of Hua An.

More than ten smart people, after receiving the order, immediately left the deaf and dumb hall, outside was the war horse and fine soft that Hua'an had already prepared for them, after they got on the horse, they ran in the direction of the city as fast as possible.

After the smart warriors who carried out the task left, Hua An looked at Huang Fuming and said softly: "The first batch of 100 smart men has been trained very well, is the second smart man ready to be selected?" ”

At this time, more than 2,000 deaf-mutes had been gathered in the deaf-mute hall in Nanzhengcheng, and such a large base was enough to select a new batch of smart people.

When Huangfu heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "What the general said is that the last general will select smart men again tomorrow, and he will definitely train more and better smart soldiers for the general to help the general complete the great cause." ”

"Okay, it's just going to be hard for you." Hua An praised Huang Fuming, walked to the group of smart men who were training, looked at a burly smart man, and asked, "Huang Fu Ming, what is the name of this person, does he look so imposing!" ”

"General, this person has no name, he is strong, as fierce as a tiger, we all call him Tiger Hou." Huang Fuming replied.

"Haha! Tiger Hou, what a good name! This tiger candidate general took a fancy to him, so he let him be the general's personal guard. Hua'an hurriedly asked Huang Fuming for someone.

Huang Fuming naturally happily agreed, and dedicated more than ten people who were the best at martial arts to Hua'an.

Hua An made a thorough tour of the Congshi Camp, and then returned to the Assassin's Mansion with Hu Hou and a dozen smart warriors who were good at fighting.

Nanzheng City is only about 200 miles away from Qiu Chi Guo's Xia Bian City, so the two teams of scouts and Cong Shi sent by Hua'an quickly entered Xia Ban City, and in a short time, they explored the various situations of Qiu Chi State, and then sent a member to return to Nan Zheng and report the situation to Hua An.

Through a series of reports from the scouts and Congshi, Hua An had a general understanding of the basic situation in Qiuchi, especially about its military deployment.

In Qiuchi country, the main forces are concentrated in Wudu County, Yinping County has only 3,000 soldiers and horses, in Wudu County, there are 5,000 royal forest troops in Xiaban City, responsible for protecting the safety of Qiuchi Gong Yang Chu, Wudu City dozens of miles west of Xiaban City, stationed in Qiuchi 10,000 main forces of soldiers and horses, led by Qiuchi Gong Yang Chu's brother, the general Yang Jun, in addition, in Hechi City, dozens of miles east of Xiaban City, 5,000 soldiers and horses are stationed, led by Yang Chu's son Yang Guo.

The 15,000 soldiers and horses of Wudu City and Hechi City are divided into the east and west directions of the capital, which plays a very good role in defending the city.

Yang Chu's military arrangement is so ingenious, taking into account all aspects of the situation, it can be described as impeccable, but he ignores the people around him, according to the news sent back by Congshi, Yang Yi, the former enemy Chigong who was killed by Yang Chu, has a younger brother Yang Songnu, who is in the city of Xia Chen, Yang Chu killed Yang Yi to stand on his own, but he did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, killing Yang Songnu, the reason why he did this, perhaps to show his own magnanimity, so that the people of the country recognized him, but at the same time, he also laid the root of his own trouble.
