Gao'an City is stained with blood. Over the past six months, several battles have occurred here. Li Tang and Xi Qin, who were sitting in Guanzhong, fought for it. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers surrounded this small city and fought life and death battles. The city wall

The dots on it record the brutal fighting between the two sides.

In the Western Qin camp ten miles outside the city, the black dragon flag hung low, as if it was foreshadowing something. From time to time in the camp, screams of pain could be heard. And the wizards could faintly be heard.

The sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling indicates that after several days of fighting, the Western Qin army suffered numerous casualties and suffered heavy losses.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Xue Rengao, with a cold expression on his face, sat on the throne, his eyes coldly scanning the generals in the tent. After a while, he fiercely patted the cases in front of him and shouted coldly: "It's been five days.

, My dear friends, it has been five days and our army has not even climbed up the city wall. Can you tell me, what should we do?"

All the generals in the tent were silent when they heard the words and looked at each other. Zong Luohu looked at Hun Gan across from him. He muttered these words in his big mouth. Hungan turned red and lowered his head.

A pair of eagle eyes flickered non-stop, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"It would be great if Wei Weiqing is still here." A general in the big tent said cautiously. Suddenly there was a sigh in the big tent. The Wei Weiqing the young general mentioned was referring to Hao Yuan.

He has always been an important counselor to assist the Xue family and his son, and has made great contributions to the establishment of the Western Qin Dynasty. The reason why Xue Ju defeated Li Shimin last time was because of this person. It is a pity that God is jealous of talents, so this

Mr. Hao Yuan was also a loyal person. After Xue Ju died of illness, Hao Yuan followed closely and also died of illness. Now that it was better, the big soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty, in terms of martial prowess, could conquer Xiliang without defeat.

However, there is a lack of counselors, so facing such a strong defense of Gao'an City, there is no way to do it but to use human lives to fill it.

Seeing this, Hun Gan on the right side of Xue Rengao showed a sneer, and his eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm. He was laughing at something. Although Hao Yuan is a scholar, people have to admire him. Hun Gan is also one of them.

, but it was the strategy of this outstanding counselor that was abandoned by Xue Rengao and his son, which led to today's situation. When the Tang army lost 70,000 troops, Guanzhong should have launched troops to attack before Guanzhong could react.

In Chang'an, it's a pity that Xue Ju was useless and insisted on fighting with Liang Division. When he came to his senses, Xue Ju fell seriously ill and died. But the Xue Rengao in front of him returned to the army and inherited the throne. He didn't know that the opportunity to fight was fleeting.

Logic, now it's better. Lu Zhaoci, who is even more powerful than Li Shimin, has arrived. His generals are even more extraordinary. It only took a few hours for a mourning soldier to capture Gao'an City, giving them a foothold. Then it was closed.

The city gate was used up to deplete the food and fodder of the Western Qin Dynasty. This time it was better. Over the past few days, the army launched countless attacks on Gao'an City, but they did not produce any effect at all.

"Your Majesty, the defense of Gao'an City is strong, so it is better to attack Jingzhou. Jingzhou is the gateway to Guanzhong, and Lu Zhaoci stationed a large army in Gao'an City. The defense of Jingzhou must be weak, so it is better to lead troops to attack it and attract troops to rescue it. Then I will

The Tang army attacked him halfway. The Tang army lacked horses and did not dare to fight in the field with us. This might be able to defeat Lu Zhaoci. If the opponent does not come to save Jingzhou, we will change the feint to real action and simply capture Jingzhou.

Then according to Wei Weiqing's idea, we will go straight to Chang'an and capture that old boy Li Yuan alive." Zong Luohu's eyes suddenly lit up and he raised his hands and said.

"Attack Jingzhou? Attack halfway?" Xue Rengao's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh fiercely and said: "What General Zong said is true. Okay, let's do it! General Zong leads the troops to attack Jingzhou, and I lead half of the cavalry.

Hit it with the Tao."

"I obey the order." After hearing the words, all the generals stood up and responded...

In an instant, the drums in the Western Qin camp rumbled, and the army marched slowly towards the northwest.

"What, Xue Rengao withdrew his troops?" Lu Zhaoci, who was teaching students, received the news from Tanma. His heart moved, and he suddenly pointed at a young soldier in front and said, "Qin Lang, what do you think?"

Seeing this, the young soldier whose name was called by Lu Zhaoci showed a hint of joy on his face and said: "Replying to my mentor, Xue Rengao must have seen that the army was besieging Gao'an City, so he turned to attack other cities to quickly break through.

Passage to Chang'an, and then go straight to Chang'an, this way we can seal the victory."

Lu Zhaoci nodded, glanced at the others and said, "Do you have anything to add to Qin Yong's words?".

"Teacher, this disciple thinks that Xue Rengao is not only planning to attack other cities, but also intends to lure the teacher to lead his army out and attack them halfway." The speaker was a thin young man, his name is Zu Ming, from

A poor family in Guanzhong heard that Lu Zhaoci wanted to recruit thirty disciples. Knowing that this kind of opportunity was quite rare, he immediately signed up. Fortunately, when he was young, he took the opportunity to herd cattle for the landlord's family.

After listening under the private school teacher's window for several years, I had the opportunity to stand out among the crowd and become one of the thirty disciples who entered the house.

"Oh." Lu Zhaoci's eyes lit up and he asked again: "Master Zulang, please tell me where Xue Rengao's army will attack?"

"Jingzhou." Zu Ming said without thinking, "Jingzhou is the gateway to Guanzhong. Although there are old generals Qutu and Sang stationed there, they still have few soldiers. If the opponent attacks by force, they still have a chance to defeat them.

, What's more, it is very close to Zhe'an City. It is very convenient to transport grain and grass from the other side. From Gao'an City to Jingzhou, there is a flat plain, which is very suitable for cavalry attack. I heard that there are many cavalry in the Western Qin Dynasty, maybe Xue Rengao will take advantage of it and raise half an army.

Hit it with the Tao."

"Yes, if the teacher doesn't go to rescue Jingzhou, the opponent can turn the feint attack into a real attack." At this time, Qin Yong's eyes lit up and he continued.

"Then what do you guys think, should I save this general or not?" Lu Zhaoci nodded with satisfaction. Although he only had a few days of credit, the second son in front of him obviously has military talent. He can guess it through a few sentences of information.

When it comes to these things, although I haven’t considered them comprehensively, it is still very difficult.

"Old General Qu Tu is good at defense, and General Sang Xianhe is extremely brave. With these two people in Jingzhou, we can live in Mount Tai." Qin Yong and Zu Ming looked at each other and replied affirmatively.

"Yes, what you two said is very reasonable. In this case, we will continue the lecture." Lu Zhaoci laughed loudly.

What Lu Zhaoci didn't know was that although he didn't take any action here, there was already a bloody storm outside Gao'an City. The movement of Xue Rengao's hundreds of thousands of troops was really too big. Let's not talk about Jingzhou for now.

The detective report was received early. Qu Tutong, who was transferred from Chang'an, and Sang Xianhe, who came from Gaocheng City, had already made preparations. Dou Gui, the general manager of Qinzhou, and Chang Da, the governor of Longzhou, who were far away in Qinzhou, also

They sent troops one after another, either to rescue Jingzhou, or to attack Xue Rengao's home base, Jincheng.

"What, someone is attacking Jincheng?" Xue Rengao, who was lying in ambush on the way, had been ambushing the Longxi Corridor for two days, but no one was seen. The gates of Gao'an City were still closed, and Lu Zhaoci could not send out a single soldier.

One pawn.

"Dou Gui? How brave." Xue Rengao's expression changed drastically. He was still attacking Jingzhou, but he didn't expect that the other party would point directly at his lair. What is Jincheng? It is his foundation. Not only does it contain a large amount of food and grass,

The most important thing is that once Jincheng falls, Xue Rengao's prestige will plummet. This is a huge blow to Xue Rengao, who has just ascended the throne. This kind of blow is not something he can bear...

"Tell Zong Luohu that he can attack Jingzhou with peace of mind. I will return to the army and attack Dou Gui personally. I will use his head as a chamber pot." Xue Rengao said fiercely. He pointed the Fangtian painted halberd in his hand to the northwest.

, shouted loudly: "Return to the army." In an instant, the iron hooves rolled, roared up, and headed straight towards Jincheng.

***

Yiluchuan is the confluence of Pu River and Malian River. It is an alluvial plain and the only way to Zhe'an City. The terrain is flat, and two large rivers rush past, straight into the Jing River.

On this day, a group of Western Qin soldiers, about a thousand people, transported grain and grass and headed towards Zheqi City. This place was still within the control of the Western Qin army. Although Tang troops could sometimes be seen

Spy, but since the Battle of Qianshuiyuan, the soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty have not paid attention to the Tang army at all. In their view, these Tang troops are just like chickens and dogs, without the slightest threat.

"Hey! The water level of the Pu River has dropped a lot today!" The leading captain of the Western Qin Army swept the Pu River in front of him, with a hint of joy on his face. It is also a hard job to transport food and grass for the army, especially when encountering

It becomes even more difficult when the terrain is complex. Although the road between the Pu River and the Malian River is easy to walk, the two rivers are not. You have to walk slowly on the bridge.

"Boss, when do you think we can kill the enemy in formation? I heard that the brothers in the former army were so weak in killing in Qianshuiyuan. I wonder how much reward they got?" A soldier was transporting wood, and then

He cautiously spoke to the captain standing aside.

"Hmph, even you want to kill the enemy." The captain looked around carefully again, called the soldier's ear, and said cautiously: "Do you know how the late emperor died? I heard that he was killed by the late emperor.

The ghosts of tens of thousands of Tang soldiers who were tortured and killed are here to haunt you. Do you still dare to kill Tang soldiers?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare." The words frightened Xiao Bing, who turned pale and shook his head repeatedly.

"Let me tell you! The Li Shimin from last time was not very powerful. Do you know who is coming this time? An outstanding man who captured Guanzhong with only a few people. His name is Lu Zhaoci. I heard that this person is the blood basin of life.

With a big mouth, he is several feet tall and has a waist as thick as a hill. He can kill thousands of people with one breath and swallow thousands of people with one breath. I heard that he eats more than a dozen people at each meal. What do you think?

Isn't he awesome?" the captain said vividly.

"Awesome, awesome." Xiao Bing shook his thighs and nodded while moving.
