"Grandpa, in half a day, our army will be able to reach the city of Bincheng." A Nanhuai general came to the deck to report the military situation to Li Dingxing.

Li Dingxing responded: "Well, I know." Pay attention to vigilance, although we are swimming against the current, but we must also pay attention to precautions. The school retreated.

Qin Xiangqian asked curiously on the side: "Our army is going upstream, it is a disadvantage, how can we listen to the tone of the grandfather, we still seem to have taken advantage?" ”

Li Dingxing smiled but didn't say anything, and Yi Xiaoling on the side couldn't help but say: "Brother Qin, the northerners, don't you know the mystery of this boat, right?" Only by going against the current can it be advantageous to attack! ”

Seeing that Qin Xiangqian was still at a loss, Yi Xiaoling explained in detail: "Going upstream, the ship sails all by manpower, whether it advances or retreats, it all depends on oneself. If it is smooth sailing, it will be fast, but under the impetus of the river, if there is an ambush ahead, how can it be stopped for a while? ”

Qin Xiangqian suddenly realized: "So that's the case!" I'm always worried that going up against the tide will take too much manpower..."

Guan Chenzi slowly walked out of the cabin: "This is also equivalent to the principle of yin and yang, yin and yang balance complement each other, in order to be invincible." The river flows against the current, and manpower countermeasures, so offset, is it not unfavorable? ”

Li Dingxing frowned and said: "But I'm a little worried now, when I passed through Lucheng a few days ago, all the people of Luzhou were gone, and it has become an empty city, I'm afraid that Xigui has some secrets waiting for us." ”

"Even the Rongcheng where the King of Sichuan and Shu is located has been captured, and Lucheng got the news, the people naturally fled a long time ago, and it is not surprising that the empty city is empty." Yi Xiaoling didn't care about this: "Instead of worrying about this, let's think about how to attack the city when we get to Bincheng!" ”

Li Dingxing frowned, 10,000 horses, not too much, not too much, not too much. It's okay to fight in the wild, but if you really want to attack the city, it's indeed a bit stretched.

When the hundreds of warships of the Nanhuai Army were still dozens of miles away from Bincheng, Li Dingxing ordered to disembark and march to Bincheng on foot.

Qin Xiangqian looked at the towering cliffs on both sides of the surrounding area, and was really shocked. Since he was a child, he had never been out of Donglu before he met Yi Xiaodao, how could he have ever seen such a high mountain? Even Mount Tai is only majestic and majestic, and there has never been such danger.

Approaching, more than ten miles away from Bincheng, Li Dingxing stopped the military horse.

"Wood, what's wrong?" Yi Xiaoling was a little puzzled.

Li Dingxing motioned for the troops to rest in place, and then moved Qin Xiangqian, Guan Chenzi and others to his side: "Although the north and middle roads are by land, they are much closer than us, and it is not necessary that they have already fought with the Western Guijun at this time." However, we don't have many siege equipment, and we must not force our attack on Bincheng. ”

Qin Xiangqian clenched his fists and said, "Grandpa, I have a way!" ”

Li Dingxing was stunned for a moment, he actually wanted to ask Guan Chenzi's opinion, but he didn't expect Qin Xiangqian, who was honest and silent on the side, to come up with a way first.

"What's the solution? Tell me about it. Li Dingxing was interested.

"Let's send some men and horses to challenge in front of the gate, and the rest of the people will ambush near the city gate. The other party sees that we have few people, so we will definitely go out of the customs, and after they get out of the customs, they will ambush the troops and take the city gate! "Before Qin Xiangqian, Xiao Kuan of the Yulin Army had kicked nine cities in the hinterland of Chuxiang in a row, and several of them used this method, and they tried it repeatedly.

Li Dingxing didn't speak, this is the most ordinary plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, if anyone in the other party city sees through this plan, it will be a failure...

"That's a good idea." Guan Chenzi on the side spoke first: "It's just that the number of people shouldn't be too many, otherwise the other side will see through this plan." ”

Li Dingxing nodded: "What the Taoist chief said is true, if it is seen through, it will be difficult to attack the city again." ”

"Just me and Brother Qin, it's enough." Guan Chenzi said bluntly.

Li Dingxing was about to nod, but he was stunned when he heard this: "What? Just the two of you? No, absolutely not! ”

Yi Xiaoling also dissuaded: "Sister Immortal, how can you do it?" It's too dangerous for just the two of you to go. ”

"Can't you two believe in the poor way?" Guan Chenzi knew that they cared about themselves, and deliberately joked.

Qin Xiangqian agreed on the side: "Yes, grandfather and Mrs. don't worry, I will definitely be able to protect the Dao well!" ”

Li Dingxing looked at the two of them, thought for a while, and then shook his head and said, "No, no, you can't take this risk, in case something goes wrong..."

Guan Chenzi pulled Qin Xiangqian: "Go!" Qin Xiangqian was pulled up and busily went to lead his horse. Before he could get to the horse, he was grabbed by the collar by Guan Chenzi, jumped out of the forest, and rushed towards the city of Bincheng.

"Guns... I didn't have a gun..."Qin Xiangqian's spears were all on horseback, and now he was dragged out by Guan Chenzi empty-handed.

"Shhhh After a while, you can already see the city wall in the distance of Bincheng.

Guanchenzi fell into shape, dragged Qin Xiangqian to the side of the road, and entered the dense forest alone, leaving only one sentence: "Help me control the wind!" ”

Qin Xiangqian thought she was going to the toilet, so he hurriedly turned his back and stared closely at the direction of Bincheng outside the forest, but after waiting for a long time, Guanchenzi didn't come out, and muttered in a low voice: "This toilet time is too long... Isn't that robe inconvenient to grow..."

After a while, the dense forest was stumbling for a while, and Guanchenzi came out of the forest. Qin Xiangqian turned his head and looked at it, he was startled, Guan Chenzi had just changed his clothes, he took off his Taoist robe and put on the clothes of ordinary people, and deliberately put some dirt and dust on his face, which looked nothing wrong with ordinary village women.

"Dao Chief, your waist..."Qin Xiangqian looked at Guan Chenzi's slightly bloated waist, and didn't quite understand.

"Taoist robe, stuffed inside the clothes." Guan Chenzi understated, but from his expression, he could see that he was quite satisfied with his new look: "I prepared the clothes a few days ago, and asked the sergeant to find a family to buy them." ”

Qin Xiangqian circled around Guanchenzi a few times, and it was indeed difficult to recognize Guanchenzi, and Wan'er smiled: "Ha, it's really hard to recognize." ”

Guan Chenzi dragged Qin Xiangqian, put his arm around him and said, "Wait a minute, let's pretend to be an ordinary couple and act when the opportunity arises." ”

The two came to the south gate of Bincheng, and the guards of the city were all Xiguijun, and when they saw the two coming, they set up a gun to stop the two: "Stop, who is it?" ”

"Master Jun, we are the people of a nearby village, I... My daughter-in-law is pregnant, and I took my daughter-in-law to the city to find a man to show my daughter-in-law. Qin Xiangqian looked at Guan Chenzi's slightly bulging abdomen and said casually.

Xi Guijun glanced at Guan Chenzi, and Guan Chenzi pretended to be shy and turned his head away and did not look at him.

"Well, brother, it's been four or five months since your mother-in-law has been like this, so you have to pay more attention, let's go in." Xigui has a sparse population, so he naturally cares about pregnant women, and he didn't make it difficult for the two of them, and let them into the city.

"Lady, let's go." Qin Xiangqian didn't dare to overstep Guanchenzi, so he had to gently help Guanchenzi into the city gate.

When I entered the city, I found that the city was in a mess, with ruins everywhere, and there were large bloodstains in some places, and it could be seen that the Sichuan and Shu army had resisted desperately before.

"Dao Chief, after entering the city, what should I do next? We'll have to lure the Western Guijun out of the pass!" Qin Xiangqian was clueless and asked Guan Chenzi in a low voice.

Guan Chenzi shrugged softly: "Shhh, act at the opportunity." Go to the palace in the city to see, wouldn't it be better if you could hijack the commander of the Xigui army in this Bincheng? ”

Qin Xiangqian nodded in response, and gently helped Guanchenzi to slowly walk towards the county office.

At the north gate of Bincheng, a horse galloped towards the city from outside the city: "Dodge!" Get out of the way! The second son's emergency military order! Death to those who stand in the way! ”

As soon as they heard that it was the military order of the second prince, it was urgent, and no one dared to stop the soldiers guarding the city, so they retreated to the side one after another, for fear of startling the war horse, and punished themselves with a capital crime. The rider galloped in and rushed straight to the Penn City Mansion.

When Guan Chenzi and Qin Xiangqian arrived at the mansion, it happened to be noon, and the two decided to eat something first, wandered into a nearby noodle restaurant that was still open, and sat down directly.

A little old man trotted over: "Two guest officers, what do you want to eat?" ”

Qin Xiang moved to Guan Chenzi and decided: "Two bowls of clear soup noodles, don't be spicy." ”

Guan Chenzi said leisurely: "Old man, at such an old age, you still came out to be a shopkeeper, are you busy?" ”

When the little old man heard this, he smiled: "Hey, this sister-in-law is laughing, what else do I do with this old bone?" Originally, I invited a shopkeeper, but it's a pity..."

"What a pity?" Guan Chenzi asked.

"It's a pity that when these Xigui troops entered the city, they cut down my good little two... My old bones, they are not rare, they snatched the silver and left..."The little old man said slowly.

"What lawlessness!" Qin Xiangqian was furious when he heard this, and clenched his fists.

Guan Chenzi frowned slightly and said, "Can't you?" Old man, when we entered the city just now, I saw that the Western Guijun was quite talkative. ”

The little old man seemed to be angry when he heard it: "Why can't you!" What I saw with my own eyes can still be fake? Hey, by the way, where did you come from? ”

"East City Gate."

"No wonder! Come to the East City Gate, count you far away! That's fine, it's okay. If you come from the west gate, I am afraid that your lives will not be saved. ”

Qin Xiangqian wondered in his heart: "Can there be any difference between which city gate comes in?" ”

"Oh, that's a big difference! The east city gate is the city gate under the jurisdiction of the more thousand and the more handsome, this more handsome, it's not bad for us little people, it's my noodle restaurant, I've been here two or three times, and I never owe the noodle money..."

Qin Xiangqian was afraid that he would not stop nagging, so he hurriedly asked; "What about the West Gate?"

"The West City Gate is guarded by the barbarian king of Xigui, so those barbarians don't tell you a lot. It's a knife to catch! Pity my little second to help me beg for money..."The little old man remembered the sad thing and chattered endlessly.

Guan Chenzi said: "Okay, shopkeeper, I'm a little hungry, hurry up and get some noodles." ”

"Well... Okay, I'll go..."The little old man also knew that he was a little long-winded, so he stopped his mouth in time and went to the kitchen.

In the county office, Yue Qiantong waved his hand at the messenger in front of him: "I know, it's hard work, let's go down and rest." ”

A swarthy young man entered from outside the mansion, saw a messenger leaving the mansion, and hurriedly asked Yue Qiantong: "Dad, what is the second son sending a messenger for?" ”

"The second prince said that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have come, let us strengthen the vigilance of Bincheng and take precautions." Yue Qiantong replied to his son.

The dark boy's eyes lit up: "Oh? Which one is coming! ”

"Nanhuai, Li Dingxing." Yue Qiantong looked in the direction of the south city gate, not far from the city, is the Yangtze River...
