However, Kong Hong is also now facing a problem that is very similar to that before entering Xiao Pass, how do they enter this Qi City now, and how can they find a foothold in Qi City? Now, the news of the loss of Xiao Pass will inevitably be transmitted directly from the army that escaped from Xiao Pass to the ears of the high-ranking officials of the Chen family of the imperial family in a very short period of time. Then, they will inevitably be directly aware of the current situation, and the Qi army will definitely enter Qicheng, which is now almost without a garrison, in the fastest possible time, and they will inevitably send troops to support this place. Since this is the case, their situation will become even more tense, and at that time, how can they blend into Qicheng is a very serious question. Therefore, before this, Kong Hong had already explained the current situation to Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, once this news was transmitted back to the royal Chen family, the current situation may not be so easy to enter this Qi City.

Fortunately, whether it is Kong Hong, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, they have all practiced light skills since childhood, and they are extremely familiar with the foundation of light skills, plus the path they are walking on now is relatively flat, so it is natural that they can already move directly to Qicheng. In addition, because the number of troops that the royal Chen family can mobilize in various places now is not large, there are only 5,000 people stationed in Xiaoguan, not to mention the towns and villages where the people live along the way. So, Kong Hong and Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, rushed to Qicheng as quickly as possible. They believed that the Qi troops who continued to remain here now were enough to ensure the stability of Xiaoguan now.

When the sun was about to set, Kong Hong was in front, and the two brothers and sisters, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, dragged a long figure directly forward and continued to run quickly. Their destination is very clear, that is, Qicheng, which has always been controlled by the Wang family, one of the four major families of the Chen family of the imperial family. Of course, the two brothers and sisters, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, did not forget, when they left Xiao Pass, they deliberately left a letter in the room where Chen Xiao was detained, and in this letter, they clearly informed Mei Lin and even Li Fu, the general of Qi who came to the rear, hoping that they could stabilize the situation inside Xiao Pass as soon as possible, and then directly dispatched troops to march to Qicheng

After Mei Linsheng captured Chen Xiao, who was trapped in Baiyun Tower, he used Chen Xiao to recruit the last stubborn force that was unwilling to surrender to them, and then directly stabilized the current situation in Xiaoguan through the support of this army. Coupled with the policy of reassuring the people that they are now posting inside Xiao Guan, they appease the people here with the edict of twenty taxes and one that most needs to stabilize the land boundary within the Qi State. The common people themselves are very simple people, and they don't care much about who rules, but they really care about who can give them the most benefit. Once they are given enough benefits, they will naturally support the current Qi State and govern this place. So, through such means, Merlin Bing firmly took Xiao Guan into his own hands without bloodshed.

However, Mei Lin did not follow what Kong Hong, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan said in the letter, and directly led the 10,000 troops under his command to Qicheng, which is not even as garrisoned as Xiao Guan. Although he knew that Qicheng had a more important strategic position than Xiao Guan, once he captured Qicheng, he could directly enter Rayong County, one of the four county towns around Checheng, which could be said to be a direct threat to the safety of the royal Chen family's capital Checheng. However, Merlin was not fooled by the huge benefits involved, but according to the original order given by Li Fu in the letter, he stationed his army here and waited for the majority of the Qi army in the rear to arrive here. According to his previous estimates, most of the main forces of the Qi State arrived here, at least two days later, and in this, he could arrange everything calmly. Including stabilizing the officials, people, and soldiers in all aspects of Xiaoguan, and at the same time, it is also necessary to do a good job of cleaning up the treasury. In the past two days, he really can't be idle.

Of course, as a general under Li Fu, he naturally obeyed Li Fu's orders and continued to wait in this place for the rear troops to be fully reorganized before talking about other things. However, Merlin thought of another more important matter, he listened to the advice of one of his advisers, and ordered one of his personal guards to carry a letter written by him to Weicheng, the capital of the country, overnight, and deliver the letter directly to the hands of Chen Xinyu, the departing monarch and Empress Shengde. In this letter, Merlin explained the situation in front of him one by one, and directly told Chen Xinyu in it, hoping that she could also send troops to help them march together to directly attack the royal Chen family from both sides. Then, naturally, they will be able to guarantee the benefits of leaving the country. Merlin felt that with such interests in front of her, there was no reason for Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde not to send an army to come here to get a piece of the pie.

Merlin didn't make this matter clear to Li Fu, but directly did it completely at this moment, and he believed that if it was Li Fu, he would naturally do the same. And just two days later, the main force of Qi had arrived at this Xiao Pass in the early morning of this day, and when the same news came here, Li Fu also heard about what happened in Xiao Pass, and he was full of praise for what Merlin had done. Of course, he also heard about the two siblings Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan who appeared in Xiao Guan at this moment, and these two siblings also played a crucial role in this battle. It was by relying on the two brothers and sisters to restrain Chen Xiao, who was the guard of Xiao Pass, at the most critical moment, that allowed Sun Ying to dispatch the soldiers in Xiao Pass in the fastest time, so that Merlin could directly occupy Xiao Pass in the fastest time, and then stabilize Xiao Pass.

At the gate of Xiaoguan Pass, Mei Lin had already heard the news of the arrival of the main army of Qi early, and he had already greeted him early, and saw two people coming side by side at the gate of the city, these two people were the highest commander of the Qi army, the general Li Fu and Qian Rong of the marching Sima and military division. Merlin had already knelt down on one knee from a distance, and said in a loud voice: "The last general, Merlin, see the general, the military division, please enter Xiao Pass!"

Li Fu turned over and dismounted, threw the horsewhip in his hand directly to a guard who came immediately behind him, he quickly stepped forward to help up Merlin, who was kneeling on one knee, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and comforted him with a smile: "General Merlin has worked hard, this time to occupy Xiaoguan and achieve the most critical victory, General Mei has made great contributions." Please rest assured, the current situation does not have time for me to show the general's merits. When the situation is clear, or when our situation is stabilized, I will immediately inform the prime minister and ask him to greatly reward the general and these capable soldiers under the general's command" Li Fu is indeed very happy, and now that Merlin has occupied Xiao Pass, this is the best beginning, not only invisibly indicating that they have officially started the battle with the royal Chen family, but also the most important one of them is that their prestige can be greatly improved in this. Thinking of this, Li Fu was naturally extremely excited, and the situation was completely and basically in his own hands for him. Perhaps, this is the best start for him, and he is very confident that he can continue to move forward.

When Merlin heard Merlin's voice of approval now, he could only say that he didn't dare, and at this time, Qian Rong also slowly got down, his expression and movements were not as excited as Li Fu, but he was indeed a little excited in his heart, and the main purpose of his assistance to Li Fu and Li Dan, the two fathers and sons, was to get the greatest benefit from this. And now, as the situation becomes clearer step by step, they will now be closer and closer to the great cause. And now, the occupation of Xiaoguan is the best start. So, Qian Rong walked over slowly, and said with a smile: "Why should General Mei be so modest, not everything here depends on General Mei's support, occupying Xiaoguan is the best situation." “

After hearing Li Fu and Qian Rong's encouragement, Mei Lin slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Please ask the general and the military division to enter the Xiaoguan military office and carry out army command! In addition, please show the general whether we should attack Qicheng to the north now, or should we wait for the situation of leaving the country without moving and then explain the current situation?"

Li Fu was not polite to Merlin, after all, in the current situation, the main purpose of his rushing here day and night was to win the command of this army, as for whether to march to Qicheng. Li Fu really didn't think about this point, after all, the situation in front of him is very bad, and once there are any difficulties in any aspect, it is very likely to directly lead to the loss of the whole game, and these things are unknown.

So, Li Fu waved his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, I think our top priority now is to wait for the news of the spies who are heading to Qicheng in front, and after getting their news, we will think about how we should deal with the situation in front of us, how about it, military advisor, what do you think of my idea?" Li Fu turned his gaze to Qian Rong beside him.

Qian Rong nodded, "In the current situation, this is indeed the most appropriate choice. But has the general considered whether he will send troops to help us now, after all, they have been defeated on the Weiku Plain, and the 50,000 troops are almost lost, and now even if Empress Shengde has the intention to help us, or wants to prevent us from obtaining the benefits of their country, I am afraid that she is also powerless, in this case, why don't we further expand our advantages, and directly occupy Qicheng with the help of the ambush in Qicheng, so that in the future, we can at least put Xiaoguan and Qicheng, as well as the vast land in the south, to our Qi State, isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stoneWhat do you think, General?"

Li Fu squinted and laughed, Qian Rong's suggestion can be said to have gone up to his heart.
