Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 489
Chapter 4 Ninety: The Nanzheng Controversy

After An San received the secret letter, he left the medical hall and went out of the city in secret. Although it is already late at night and the gate of Chang'an city has already been closed, Mingjing has been operating in Chang'an for many years, and there are some secret passages out of the city. But it's a little troublesome.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Qi appeared in military uniform in the camp of the Qin Army outside Chang'an City, accompanied by Bai Chen, generals Ma Sheng and Sheritu of the Qin Army who were also on the list for the expedition, and the deceased Meng Li and Meng Tong, the two sons of General Meng Zhan of Qin State.

After Bai Qi inspected the soldiers' drills, he led his people back to the big tent of the Chinese Army. As soon as he sat down, Bai Qi asked Bai Chen, "Brother, have you finished the list of generals for this expedition?"

Bai Chen nodded, and said: "Return to Taiwei, it has been sorted out!" Then he took out a list from his sleeve, opened it and said: "For this expedition, besides me and a few people, there are also military personnel. Young and middle-aged generals, although these young generals are not well-known, but their abilities are quite good, and most of them are generals promoted by the Taiwei from the army, so they can be used with confidence."

"Well! That's good. Let's talk about who are there?" Qi's elder brother, Bai Chen and Wang Feng and other powerful generals in the army are also full of conflicts. Even King Qin has some opinions on him. Until now, Bai Chen can only hug Bai Qi's thigh tightly.

Bai Chen said: "For this expedition, we selected a total of ten generals from the army. In addition to General Mo, General Ma Sheng, General Sheritu, General Meng Li, and General Meng Tong, there are also Wei Song, Li Jin, Generals Fu Gui, Zhang Fu, Huang Xing, and Xing Cong, and hundreds of other generals and beneficiary generals."

After hearing this, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Very well, these are the best of the younger generation in the army. Now that the veterans in the army are getting old, it's time for young people to come out and take the lead, otherwise This army will become a pool of stagnant water."

"Taiwei, now our army has mobilized 10,000+ elites to Hanzhong. After they all arrive, plus the 18 elites stationed in Hanzhong, the force has reached 2, and there are still [-] people who will accompany us in Chang'an. I just don’t know when the Taiwei plans to go south?” At this time, Ma Sheng asked aloud, after half a month, the soldiers and horses that the Qin Army needs to go south to attack Bashu have basically assembled, and now they are waiting for Bai Qi’s order .

Bai Qi thought for a while and said, "Okay, pass on the order, and the army will march south tomorrow!"

"What! We're going south tomorrow? Captain, is this too urgent?" Ma Sheng said in surprise. He originally just asked Bai Qi to determine the time to go south as soon as possible, but he didn't expect Bai Qi to be so anxious. Tomorrow Then go south, which makes people not prepared at all.

Bai Qi said: "There is no way, we have spent too much time gathering troops and horses, and during this period of time, various armies outside Chang'an City are coming and going, and the news of our army going south must not be hidden. Guo Guo's hidden work in Chang'an City has also received news. Maybe this news is already on the way to Wancheng. Once Deng Guo responds, our army will fall short. Now it is just right to go south. Even if Deng Guo received the news, Mobilizing troops and horses to enter Shu is definitely not as fast as ours."

"What the Taiwei said is true, then tell the gentlemen the news that they will go south, and the army will march south tomorrow!" Ma Cheng thought for a while, and felt that what Bai Qi said was very reasonable. It's too deep, and it's hard to guarantee that this news will not leak out. In fact, Qin Guo also carried out a campaign against Deng Guo's secret operations in Chang'an City, but each time only some marginal figures were caught, and none of the core members could be found, making the entire Chang'an City is like a beautiful woman without clothes, exposed to Deng Guo's vision.

In the 24th year of Qianyuan, on the third day of February, Bai Qi led a group of Qin army generals and [-] Qin army elites to leave Chang'an City and head south to Hanzhong.

In the 24th year of Qianyuan, on February [-]th, the Qin army crossed Qinchuan for [-] miles, entered Hanzhong, and joined various armies in Nanzheng City.

In the city of Nanzheng, in the palace of the prefect of Hanzhong, Bai Qi sat in the main seat, and below were all the generals of the Qin army who went to Bashu this time. This time, the Qin State mobilized a total of 20 elite soldiers, which is half of Qin’s troops. Yes, it can be seen that the state of Qin is determined, while Bai Qi is very ambitious about it. Over the years since his debut, he has fought against the Han army and Zhao army, and he has returned victorious. Now he is facing the most powerful country in the world. Deng Guo and Bai Qi are also full of confidence.

"How is Deng Jun's movement in Jiameng Pass now? Have they noticed our army's intention?" Bai Qi asked.

General Li Jin of the Qin Army was the first general to come to the Southern Expedition. As soon as he arrived, he took charge of the reconnaissance of the Deng army in Bashu. The army is still the same as usual, there is not much change, and the general believes that they know nothing about our army's movements."

Bai Chen was very satisfied with this.He had planned for a long time to go south to Bashu this time, success or failure depended on one move, if he leaked the news in advance and let Deng Jun in Jiameng pass be prepared, it would be troublesome.

"General Bai Chen, it's up to you to tell everyone about the situation of Bashu and Deng Jun!" Now in the army, Bai Qi, as the highest commander, naturally no longer calls Bai Chen his elder brother, but directly calls him Bai Chen. General Chen.

"Here!" Bai Chen responded, then stood up and said to the crowd, "Bashu is now the Middle Shu Road of Deng Kingdom. It consists of four counties: Shu County, Ba County, Guanghan County, and Qianwei County. It means Chengdu, the former capital of the Shu Kingdom, and the main force of the Deng Army responsible for guarding Bashu is Deng Guotian Wuwei. Once Jiamengguan is attacked, Deng Jun can support Jiamengguan within a day."

"Rescue within one day? That means if our army can't take Jiameng Pass within one day, then the subsequent war will be even more unfavorable." Hearing this, Ma Cheng frowned and said, "Jiameng Pass Mengguan is the Xiongguan Pass of Bashu. Although the Qin army is numerous and powerful, it is impossible to take it within a day, but if they cannot take Jiameng Pass within a day, then the Qin army will face The most important thing is Xiongguan guarded by [-] Deng Jun, and it is even more difficult to take it down.

Bai Chen nodded and said: "Yes, General Ma is right. If our army can't conquer Jiameng Pass before Deng Jun's support, it will be even more difficult in the future. However, the Taiwei has already made arrangements for this point. The army lurks a large number of secret operations in Jiameng Pass. As long as our troops approach the city, they will cooperate from the inside and outside, open the city gate, and cooperate with our army to take down Jiameng Pass. There are less than [-] Deng troops in Jiameng Pass. As long as the city gate is opened, The Jiameng pass is basically obtained."

"That's great. Since the Taiwei has already made arrangements, the general can rest assured." Now that Bai Qi has a comprehensive plan, Ma Cheng has nothing to worry about, so he stopped talking.

After Bai Chen had finished introducing the situation of Bashu and Deng's army, Bai Qi said: "Our army is going south this time to raid Bashu. Since it is a surprise raid, we should pay attention to a quick word. As the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and fast, so leave it to me." There is not much time for the army to rest, so three days later, General Bai Chen and General Sheritu led [-] elites to go south first, and combined with the secret operations in Jiameng Pass to win Jiameng Pass, the main force of our army will also Then go south, as long as our entire army enters Jiameng Pass, the situation in Bashu will be in our hands, and the mere [-] Deng troops wanting to block our elite army is simply a dream."

"However, Hanzhong borders Shangyong, the state of Deng. We are afraid that Deng's army will raid Hanzhong and cut off our army's retreat. Therefore, Generals Li Jin and Fu Gui are ordered to lead [-] troops to stay in Hanzhong. In addition to the offensive, it is also responsible for supporting the army going south at any time!" Bai Qi said, Hanzhong County is the hub of Bashu and Guanzhong, if Hanzhong falls, the southern army led by Bai Qi will be cut off from the rear, and it will become an instant success. The rootless duckweed is slaughtered by others, so Bai Qi left [-] troops to stay in Hanzhong, just to guard against Deng Jun's surprise attack on Hanzhong. Don't think this is unfounded worry. Once Deng Jun loses in Bashu, Hanzhong will become Deng's army. It is the last chance for the army to come back against the wind, so we have to guard against it.

At the same time that Bai Qi and a group of generals of the Qin Army were discussing the strategy of going south in Nanzheng City, a secret letter from Chang'an was sent to the Mingjing headquarters in Wancheng. The new Mingjing leader Yao Guangxiao received the secret letter Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he hurried to the palace.
