After all, Du Fugong's team entered Yanmen Pass. In order to avoid accidents, after entering the pass, Du Fugong ordered the team to speed up. Three thousand horses, driven by a horse trainer who was skilled in horse training, galloped like thunder. Du Fugong looked at the huge horse team , but also quite emotional in my heart.

The journey lasted more than one day, along the way, the common people were a little surprised to see the huge cavalry of thousands of horses, and some even mistakenly thought that the Xiliang people had made a comeback.

As they approached Shuoquan, the war horses would naturally not be sent to Shuoquan City, but to the Imperial Guard barracks.

The four major battalions of imperial guards, the Fengzi Battalion led by Xu Shao's Tiger Wing Cavalry as the main force, actually did not develop smoothly. Cavalry, the total is only 3000 cavalry, which is all the cavalry that Chu Huan has on hand. Now there are thousands more horses, and they are Xiliang horses. Although the number of soldiers trained has expanded to nearly [-], half of them do not have their own horses. Now that they have horses in the northwest, the officers and soldiers of Fengzi Battalion are naturally extremely excited.

After setting up the horses, Du Fu hurried to Shuoquan. When he arrived at the governor's mansion, Chu Huan had received the news and came out to greet him. Du Fu entered the mansion and reported what happened to Chu Huan. Hou is also a very affectionate person, I am worried that he will even ignore his own sister for these war horses."

"Your Excellency still has a thorough plan. If Miss Gan hadn't stayed in Hezhou, I'm afraid these horses would have been taken by the Northwest Army." Du Fugong sighed.

More than 3000 war horses came at once, Chu Huan was also a little excited, and after talking with Du Fugong for a while, he had the idea of ​​going to see the horses, but before he left the mansion, someone had already reported: "Report to Governor Chu, Jiazhou has changed! "

"What's the matter?"

"The Beishan Army crossed the Liangzi River and attacked across the board. General Xuanyuan flew a pigeon to send a letter. The Beishan Army has arrived at Qingtang City!"

Du Fugong's face changed slightly, but Chu Huan's expression remained unchanged. He got up slowly, walked to the gate, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and muttered to himself: "It's time to come, it's finally here, Xiao Huanzhang, you and me The duel is inevitable!"

……

……

The Beishan Army was ready for everything. Tens of thousands of troops crossed the Liangzi River and entered the territory of Xiguan. The few Xiguan troops who stayed on the banks of the Liangzi River had all withdrawn to Qingtang City before the Beishan Army crossed the river.

The main force of Beishan was exhausted, and the people and horses rushed towards Qingtang City like locusts.

On this day, the Beishan Army was waiting, and the Xiguan Army had also been waiting. The two sides faced each other for a long time at Liangzihe, and no one knew when the real battle would start, but this moment came very suddenly.

Not many people thought that the duel between the Beishan Army and the Xiguan Army was the first official confrontation between officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Empire.

Prior to this, it was just a war between officers and soldiers and banditry, and whether the Xiguan Army or the Beishan Army, in name, they were still officers and soldiers of the imperial court. The confrontation between officers and soldiers also heralded the official start of the civil war in the empire.

The morale of the Beishan army was like a rainbow, and the darkness was like the top of Mount Tai, but the formation was not chaotic at all. The general of the army, Luo Dingxi, was also a well-known general in the northwest.

The flags were unfurled, under the Qingtang City, the Beishan Army spread for several miles, and the fierce cold wind was blowing the battle flags, rattling.

Qingtang City is not big, and the city in the northwest is quite different from Jiancheng in the pass.

On the top of the city, Xuanyuan Shengcai was wearing a battle armor. He looked coldly at the Beishan Army below the city like a dark cloud, and clenched his fists. Half of the Beishan army, the most important thing is that in the middle of the Beishan army, Xuanyuan Sheng clearly saw a group of cavalry. Thousands of cavalry formed a scene by itself, which is also the trump card of Beishan, and in Xuanyuan Sheng's hands, the whole army's war horses combined , less than a hundred horses, no cavalry available at all.

A group of troops from the Beishan army galloped out, and when they arrived at the city, Xuanyuan Sheng could see clearly that the first general, wearing heavy armor, was tall and majestic, holding a long spear in his hand.

"Where is General Xuanyuan?" the general raised his head and asked loudly.

Only then did Xuanyuan Sheng stick out half of his body, and said loudly, "But do you want to beg for surrender?"

The general immediately laughed, and said: "General Xuanyuan also likes to joke. I have an army of tens of thousands in Beishan. Can General Xuanyuan still not see the situation clearly?"

"I only saw tens of thousands of wine bags and rice bags." Xuanyuan Sheng said with a sneer, "Luo Dingxi, I value peace in Xiguan, and you Beishan dared to send troops to Xiguan without the imperial court's order. This is a blatant rebellion. If you know how to repent, It's still too late, take your subordinates, withdraw from Xiguan, and plead guilty to the imperial court yourself."

Luo Dingxi sighed: "General Xuanyuan, you Xiguan soldiers entered our Beishan territory, raped women and slaughtered villagers. To this day, you still don't know how to repent. Governor Xiao loves the people like a son. You kill innocent people indiscriminately. Naturally, Governor Xiao will not sit idly by. "

Xuanyuan Sheng smiled coldly and said, "Since that's the case, there is nothing more to say."

"General Xuanyuan, I respect you as a man. Once a war starts, countless people will die in vain. Why are you so obsessed with it?" Luo Dingxi said loudly: "General, why don't you open the city gate, let's sit down and have a good talk, maybe If you can turn hostility into friendship, our Beishan army does not want to fight, and I am afraid that your subordinates also do not want to die in battle for no reason."

Xuanyuan Shengcai said coldly: "The Xiguan army really doesn't want to start the war lightly, but if someone dares to bully them, the Xiguan army will not arrest them without a fight."

"It seems that General Xuanyuan hasn't considered it well." Luo Dingxi shook his head, "General Xuanyuan, I will give you time to think about it. I'm sorry if I can't give you a satisfactory answer at Maoshi tomorrow." Horse head, gallop back into the formation.

Immediately, a general approached and asked: "Master Commander, our army's morale is high now, and this Qingtang City is not strong, why don't you take this opportunity to attack Qingtang with one go?"

"No rush!" Luo Dingxi said with a faint smile, "The time has not yet come."

"Master Commander, do you want to surround Qingtang City?" Someone said: "Wait until dawn, attack from all sides, and we will surely win the battle."

Luo Dingxi said: "Order the whole army to retreat five miles and rest where they are, but be careful, lest the Xiguan army sneak attack at night, and don't have to besiege Qingtang City. Wait until dawn, obey the general's order, and attack immediately!"

All the generals were a little surprised, but since the military order was issued, they naturally did not dare to disobey, the Beishan Army retreated five miles, did not set up camp, but rested in place, waiting for the dawn.

Xuanyuan Sheng in the city waited until the Beishan Army retreated, and immediately summoned all the generals under his command. The generals' eyes were burning, and Xuanyuan Sheng asked in a deep voice, "Are all the ministries ready?"

All the generals said in unison: "All have been prepared according to the general's order."

"What time is it now?"

"Back to the general, it has passed the three quarters of Shen Shi, and it is almost the time of You."

"You all go back to your headquarters, open the city gates when you are stationed, and go out of the city to the direction of Jiazhou City. Remember, after leaving the city, the faster the better, according to the prior subordinates, you must arrive at the predetermined place within the specified time, and there must be no mistakes, but Anyone who delays will be killed without mercy!"

All the generals bowed their hands together, "obey the order!"

"General, what should we do with the people in the city?" A general asked softly, "There are also tens of thousands of people in the city. If we withdraw, will the Beishan Army...!"

"They don't dare yet." Xuanyuan Sheng said with a sneer: "If they really dare to harm the people in the city, they will die. Pass down the order to make the people of the whole city stay behind closed doors and stay at home?"

"The notice has already been posted, and the people in the city have obeyed the order and stayed behind closed doors. Now the streets in the city are empty." The general replied.

Xuanyuan Sheng just nodded, clenched his fists, glanced at the generals in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, although most of the Beishan Army are mobs, they are numerous and powerful, and there are thousands of cavalry in their hands. Luo Dingxi is not ordinary. Seniors, you must never underestimate the enemy. In this battle, we must do our best to kill the vigor of the Beishan army and let him taste the strength of our Xiguan army!"

Many generals have already shown a state of excitement.

In the Beishan army formation, Luo Dingxi sat on the ground wearing a battle armor, holding a whip in his hand, and kept beating the ground in front of him. His expression was stern, and his eyes were cold under the firelight.

Beside him, at this time, more than a dozen generals had gathered.

"Now I can tell you the plan for this battle." Luo Dingxi said in a low voice, "You are wondering why I didn't attack the city immediately, so I will tell you that the siege is not the main thing. This time, I will defeat Pan in Jiazhou in one fell swoop." Qingtang City is not our goal, our goal is Jiazhou City."

All the generals were a little bit astonished when they heard the words, they didn't know the plan in advance, they just thought that this time they were attacking Qingtang City with all their strength, today Luodingxi soldiers approached the city, not only did not take advantage of the high morale to launch an attack on Qingtang City, on the contrary They retreated five miles and waited for Xuanyuan Sheng to reply tomorrow. Many people just thought it was unbelievable, but now after hearing Luo Dingxi say this, they suddenly realized that there was something else wrong.

"Xiao Du used tricks to make Chu Huan believe that we didn't really want to attack Xiguan, but that we wanted to unite with Xiguan to sing a double reed to lure the Tianshan Army to send troops." Luo Dingxi looked solemn, "But Xiao Du's real intention, It is to take advantage of the situation to take Xiguan Jiazhou, defeat the main force of the Xiguan Army in Jiazhou, and then quickly advance to Shuoquan, and conquer Shuoquan in one fell swoop. The Xiguan Army may still be self-righteous. If nothing happens tonight, the Xiguan Army will withdraw from Qingtang City. If they withdraw their troops, it proves that they have been fooled, and it is a great opportunity for us to defeat the main force of the Xiguan Army in one fell swoop."

A general next to him immediately understood, "Master Commander, what do you mean, when the Xiguan Army is withdrawing, we will quickly pursue it from behind?"

Luo Dingxi smiled coldly, nodded and said: "Yes, when they withdrew, they must have no intention of fighting. Qingtang is nearly a hundred miles away from Jiazhou City. They have no wings and cannot fly to Jiazhou. This part of the journey is The road to their death!"
