Along the way, Sha Qihu and Feng Changqing saw that there were derelict soldiers everywhere, of course, there were also many soldiers who were seriously responsible for standing guard and patrolling, but in the eyes of Sha Qihu and the others, these were all very important information, especially for construction fortifications, siege equipment, etc., Sha Qihu's reaction was very sensitive, and he had to pay attention to these things. Soon, the crowd came to Xicheng, where the scene was much better, at least the soldiers did not dare to neglect their duties.

"Lord Feng, General Li is waiting in Zhongyi Hall, and when you get outside Taiyuan Square, everyone else is not allowed to enter, and you know the rules."

Feng Changqing nodded: "Don't worry, I don't dare to embarrass Deputy Lieutenant Li, they will wait for me outside when the time comes, this time I just came to Taiyuan City to visit General Li, and it won't take long." ”

Soon, Taiyuan Square arrived, Feng Changqing went in alone, and the others waited outside, and according to the rules, no one was allowed to leave here, otherwise the Taiyuan army had the right to take it directly. This is a rule that has been set a long time ago, in order to be afraid that there will be spies mixed in, Taiyuan Square is very large, and the scope of Sha Qihu's activities can only be in this square.

Feng Changqing and Li Guangbi's conversation was not long, only an hour and a half later, Feng Changqing came out, and Li Guangbi personally sent out of Zhongyi Hall, and they chose to leave Taiyuan City without staying. Halfway through, Sha Qihu asked, "Lord Feng, did you find anything in your conversation with Li Guangbi?" ”

"I found that there was no, they were all very common things, I also asked the question of the Taiyuan defenders, he was blunt, saying that Emperor Xuanzong himself had run away, the Taiyuan soldiers were panicked, and they did not seriously defend the city, those soldiers had no fighting spirit, if it were not for the Cangyun army to defend Yanmen Pass, I am afraid that many soldiers have fled."

Sha Qihu smiled: "The current Datang is considered to be exhausted, but according to you, will this Li Guangbi fool us and deliberately show us?" ”

"Probably not, I have known him for a long time, and they didn't know in advance about you and me entering the city, besides, look at those soldiers, and those siege equipment, rusty rust, bad and bad, and there are piles of debris next to them, which can't be used for combat at all. There is only one point, that is, we don't know the situation of the defenders of Huaide Gate and Yingze Gate, after all, Xicheng is guarded by Li Guangbi, and the defenders still have the heart of self-discipline, so they dare not make a mistake. ”

"My eldest brother, it should have arrived, I will go to him to discuss it in the evening, this time in order to attack Taiyuan City, he specially transferred three red-clothed cannons over, I think we can storm Chaoxi Gate, where the main force and siege equipment of Taiyuan City are located, capture the East City, even if the West City is strong, it can only be the end of the strong crossbow."

Back to Tingquan Village, at this time, Sha Qibo and a few entourages had already arrived here, Yan Wangqing and the others were preparing wine and food to entertain them, and after Sha Qihu and Feng Changqing arrived, they went to the barn to study the next plan. Sha Qihu first reported the situation of the defenders of Taiyuan City to Sha Qibo, and then explained his thoughts, at the moment, Feng Changqing also expressed his intentions, the two of them had the same idea, both advocated attacking Chaoxi Gate, and suddenly, Sha Qibo said to the outside of the door.

"Who?"

The door of the barn was pushed open, and Yan Wangqing walked in, holding wine and food, and said tremblingly: "That... Master Jun, it's me, I'm here to bring you food and drinks. ”

"You? What about the guards outside? ”

Yan Wangqing smiled: "Ah, those two big brothers, I let them go to dinner, no, I came to send it to you, you military masters have worked hard." ”

Sha Qibo's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly pulled out the knife in his hand and threw it at Yan Wangqing, who was startled, so frightened that he couldn't move, seeing that the long knife was about to split over, suddenly a hand appeared in Yan Wangqing's sight, grabbed the flying long knife, this person was Sha Qihu, he looked at Yan Wangqing, who was motionless, and said.

"Big brother, Xiao Yan is just a peasant girl who has never seen the market, why are you like this?"

I have to say that Yan Wangqing was also gambling just now, she saw Sha Qihu reacting, so she could only pretend to be scared stupid, if Sha Qihu didn't help, then now she would definitely show her stuffing, Sha Qibo took the long knife handed by Sha Qihu, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't mind, I just want to try you, in case you are a spy, then we will be in trouble, okay, put down the wine and food, you can go." ”

But now Yan Wangqing, her legs trembled unconsciously, and the wine and food in her hand also trembled a little, Sha Qihu hurriedly took the wine and food, put it on the table, and looked at Yan Wangqing with a smile: "That's it, big brother, you eat first, I'll send her back, I'll come back immediately, it seems that she was frightened by you." ”

After the two left, Sha Qibo drank a glass of wine and asked, "What, this kid likes that girl?" It doesn't make sense, this is to say that there are many beautiful girls everywhere, how can he? ”

Sha Qi is like a soldier under his command.

"General, don't you know, Deputy Commander Sha said before that he would come back to marry her in the future, I think, Deputy Commander Sha definitely doesn't look down on those so-called ladies, what beautiful and moving. This kind of mountain girl, although she doesn't know how to dress up and doesn't know how to enjoy, the key is simple, and she can't play those scheming things, it should be like this. ”

Sha Qibo nodded, and then didn't say anything, as long as Sha Qihu really likes it, then he must support it, after Sha Qihu came back, he said a few words casually, and then began to drink and eat, after eating and drinking, Sha Qibo said.

"That's it, tomorrow, start to attack Taiyuan City, force the attack from Chaoxi Gate, Sha Qihu is the vanguard, lead 5,000 soldiers and horses first, I will take 45,000 soldiers and horses to give you a plunder, then I will put the red-clothed cannon three miles outside the main gate of Chaoxi Gate, if you can't attack, I will use the red-clothed cannon to help you, and then the whole army will attack together and take Chaoxi Gate. Then you and General Feng each led 10,000 soldiers and horses to bypass Huaide Gate and Yingze Gate respectively, besiege Xicheng on three sides, and capture Taiyuan City. ”

Sha Qibo had already let 50,000 soldiers and horses camp thirty miles outside Taiyuan City, tomorrow, they will set off to join Sha Qibo and others, and go to Taiyuan City together, the most important thing is the three red-coated cannons brought by Sha Qibo, which the Taiyuan defenders do not have. Now, the Taiyuan defenders have begun to make tense arrangements, the previous illusions were all arranged by Li Guangbi, after he received the news of Yan Wangqing, he began to move, coupled with the arrival of Feng Changqing, he was even more convinced of the next battle.

Moreover, Yan Wangqing and the others, taking advantage of the inattention of the guards of the Wolf Tooth Army, quietly left Tingquan Village overnight, and entered Taiyuan City at night, and took the farthest detour to enter from Huaide Gate. After meeting Li Guangbi, he began to make tense deployment arrangements, and the next big battle was about to begin.
