Chapter 5 Eighty: The Qin Army Enters the Central Plains
In the 28th year of Qianyuan, on June [-]th, Bai Qi led [-] Qin troops to Yuanwu City. This place is across the gutter from Suanzao City in Chenliu County, and it is less than a hundred miles away from Deng Jun's main camp in Suanzao.

"How is Deng Jun's strength in Suanzao Camp?" Bai Qi asked Geng Yue beside him at the head of Yuanwu City.

Geng Yue replied: "Marshal Deng, there are about 15 elite Deng troops in the Suanzao Camp, commanded by the famous general Yue Fei, and there are many famous generals of the Deng Kingdom in the army."

Bai Qi nodded, 15 horses is not as strong as the Qin army, and the Zhao army also has 20 horses in Dongjun. If the two armies work together, they might not be able to eat the [-] Zhao army, so he said: "Based on this Write a letter to Li Rubing in the name of the general, saying that the general has personally led an army of [-] to Yuanwu City, and asked him to lead the army south to Chenliu, and work together with the general to defeat Yue Fei."

"Marshal, it's not a secret that our army arrived in Yuanwu City, and it's less than a hundred miles away from Suanzao City. I'm afraid it won't be long before Yue Fei from Suanzao will know. If he wants to send someone to inform that Li Rubing is sending troops, Yue Fei must have already run away. Why not send troops directly, trap Deng Jun, and wait for Zhao Jun's support?" Geng Yue said hesitantly.

Qin State did not keep any secrets when sending troops this time, and it is not difficult to find out about Deng Jun's detailed operation. If Li Rubing came to fight, the day lily would be cold, so Geng Yue's idea was to send troops directly to the wild jujube, wrapping it around. Live in the Deng army, anyway, the Deng army has only 15 people, and the Qin army has 10 people, even if it can't win, it can still be done in a stalemate.

Bai Qi smiled and said: "General Geng, although we are here to form an alliance with Li Rubing this time, after all, each is his own master. It is not beneficial for Zhao's army to be stronger than ours. On the contrary, our army is stronger than ours." It's not what Li Rubing wants to see, it's not that I will judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but for the sake of my great Qin Shiwan Erlang, I will have to be cautious. If I will send troops first, Li Rubing will sit and watch our army Fighting with Deng Jun, so that our army and Deng Jun will lose both, so that our army and Deng Jun can be wiped out in one fell swoop, so what should I do? At that time, how will I be worthy of His Majesty's trust?"

"Is the marshal worrying too much? If our army loses to Deng's army, it will be of no benefit to Zhao's army. Moreover, once Yue Fei retreats south, even if our army and Zhao's army work together, it may be difficult to defeat Deng's army. Li Rubing wants to come here." It wouldn't be so unwise." Geng Yue said.

Bai Qi shook his head, and said: "I don't care whether it is beneficial to Zhao Jun, General Geng, you have to be clear, our army's marching into the Central Plains is not to defeat Deng Jun, but to maintain the Central Plains. Given the current situation, Deng Jun is invincible, and Zhao Jun is also invincible. As long as Zhao Jun can catch his breath and resist Deng Jun's attack, then our goal this time will be achieved. Form an alliance."

"The last general understands!" Geng Yue is also a smart person, but as a general, as long as he goes to the battlefield, he only thinks about how to win, and his mind can't turn around for a while.

The news of Qin Jun's arrival in Yuanwu City was also reported to Yue Fei by Deng Jun's scouts immediately.

"General, Bai Qi has led one hundred thousand Qin troops to Yuanwu City, less than a hundred miles away from our camp!" the scout said to Yue Fei.

"Bai Qi has led the army here? Do you know what the Qin army is doing?" Yue Fei asked, frowning.

The scout shook his head and replied: "General, after the Qin army entered Yuanwu City, they only strengthened the defense around Yuanwu City, and there has been no change for the time being."

"The general knows, let's go down!" Yue Fei waved his hand, signaling the scouts to retreat.

"Here!"

After the scouts left, Yue Fei shouted to the outside of the tent: "All generals and military advisors are invited to discuss the matter!"

Soon, a group of generals came to the tent of the Chinese army.

"Greetings, General!" Everyone saluted Yue Fei.

"You generals don't need to be too polite, please hurry up!" Yue Fei said.

"Thank you, General!" After everyone stood up, Murong Chui asked Yue Fei, "I wonder if the General summoned the last general to come, but Zhao Jun has changed?"

Yue Fei said: "It's not the Zhao army, but the Qin army. According to reports from the scouts, Bai Qi personally led one hundred thousand Qin troops to Yuanwu City."

"Original Wucheng? The original Wucheng is less than a hundred miles away from Suanzao. General, do you know what happened to the Qin army?" Xun You hurriedly asked Yue Fei.

Yue Fei shook his head and said: "After Bai Qi arrived at Yuanwu City, he began to strengthen the defense of Yuanwu City, but he has no intention of mobilizing troops."

"There is no change? It shouldn't be. Since Qin Jun came to Yuanwu City suddenly, he must have been invited by Zhao Guo. He must find a way to defeat our army. Now Li Rubing is far away in Puyang City. It is impossible to rush to Suanzao City, so it stands to reason that Bai Qi should send troops to entangle our army as soon as possible, and when Li Rubing leads the main force of the Zhao army to come, we can defeat our army with the combined force of the two armies, why not move?" Ma Chao asked very puzzled.

Everyone looked at Yue Fei with doubts, and they all had the same doubts as Yue Fei, but Xun You and Lu Meng were thoughtful.

Lu Meng thought for a while and said, "General, maybe this subordinate can guess a little bit of Bai Qi's thoughts."

"Also ask the military adviser to enlighten me!" Yue Fei was really puzzled, seeing that Lu Meng had his own opinion, he hurriedly asked.

Lu Meng said: "Now Deng, Zhao, and Qin are three kingdoms, and Qin is the weakest. Our army has defeated the Zhao army in the Central Plains. Zhao's strength alone is no longer able to compete with our army. Therefore, we need to ask the Qin army to come to help. If Bai Qi Helping the Zhao army repel our army and regain the Central Plains, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Rubing will not have evil thoughts in his heart and keep the Qin army here, so for Bai Qi, it is best for our army and Zhao army to be undefeated, so Bai Qi will not fight our army for Zhao Guo."

"So that's how it is!" When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Bai Qi would stand still.

"But military division Lu, Bai Qi is an unfathomable person. Who knows his real intentions? If the military division guesses wrongly about Bai Qi's intentions, wouldn't our army fall for Bai Qi's trick?" Ma Chao wondered, although Lu Meng's words are convincing, but Bai Qi is resourceful, how can he be guessed so easily?
"This..." Lu Meng was speechless for a moment, after all he was really not sure what he said was what Bai Qi thought.

"No matter what Bai Qi's thoughts are, I can't take any risks." At this time, Yue Fei said, "If it's just a Qin army, I wouldn't worry about it. It's just that Li Rubing's 20 Zhao army is in Puyang City. If our army I have been entangled with the Qin army again for too long. When Li Rubing arrives, I am afraid it will be too late to regret it. The order will be passed on and the whole army will withdraw to Fengqiu. Under the county seat, keep Tu Gao's troops from moving, summon Yang Yanzhao on the east front, and order him to end the sweep of Qi Chu's old land, and lead the army to march westward. If there is a chance, first wipe out Tu Gao's troops in Liang County, and then go to Chenliu Join me with this general, and in addition, send a messenger to rush to Wancheng to report the news of the Qin army entering the Central Plains to your majesty, please make a decision."

Yue Fei soon made a decision. Although Bai Qi would probably stand still and wait until Li Rubing's main force arrived, Yue Fei didn't dare to gamble. , Even if I wanted to leave, it would be very difficult for me to leave.

"General, should we wait a little longer?" Lu Meng still felt that there was nothing wrong with his thinking. There was no need to retreat so soon now, and he could wait and see.

Yue Fei shook his head and said: "It's not that this general doesn't believe Lu Junshi's words, but His Majesty has already made a decree that this general should not fight the Qin army unless it is a last resort. Army, as for the Qin army brought by Bai Qi, His Majesty has already made arrangements. I believe that it will not be long before Bai Qi will lead the army back to the west. Now the Qin-Zhao coalition army is stronger than our army. If you want to join forces with it If we are fighting, we have to bring back the troops from Liang County and the Eastern Front. In this way, we have to give up the good situation on the Eastern Front. It is not worth it. Make a plan."

"Here!" Everyone responded.

The next day, Yue Fei led his troops to withdraw from Suanzao City, and the whole army retreated south to Fengqiu City. The army continued to pursue.

In the 28th year of Qianyuan, on June 20th, Li Rubing led an army of [-] troops to a place less than [-] miles away from Suanzao City. However, Li Rubing did not lead the army to Suanzao City immediately, but sent someone to inform Bai Qi.

In Suanzao City, after Zhao Jun's envoy left, Geng Yue said to Bai Qi: "Marshal, it seems that Li Rubing is very dissatisfied with our army's behavior of sitting on and watching Deng's army retreat to the south, and now he is stationed [-] miles away. I am afraid that he is trying to give us a disgrace. "

Bai Qi smiled and said: "This is expected, but what if he is dissatisfied with Li Rubing? Now that the enemy is weak and we are strong, it is impossible to defeat Deng Jun so easily. Deng Jun lost. It doesn't do any good for me, Daqin. On the contrary, because of the loss of soldiers and generals in the fierce battle with Deng Jun, how could this general do such a detrimental behavior? Li Rubing's attitude is also expected by this general. "

"Marshal, what should we do now?" Geng Yue asked.

Bai Qi said: "Now our army and Zhao Jun are in a cooperative relationship, so it's not appropriate to quarrel too much. Since Li Rubing wants an explanation, and wants to show us off, then we will give him a step down and start a hundred spirits." Qi, you and I will go to meet Li Rubing together."

"Marshal, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Although Li Rubing is a great general of Zhao, the marshal is Wu Anjun of our Great Qin. In terms of status, he is not inferior to Li Rubing. If the marshal goes to greet Li Rubing in person, wouldn't it be better for the people of Zhao Guo Look at me, Daqin? Besides, even if you want to go, you can’t just bring 100 people with you. If Li Rubing has malicious intentions, wouldn’t it be like a sheep running into a tiger’s mouth?” Regarding Bai Qi’s plan to meet Li Rubing in person, Geng Yue objected, after all, Qin and Zhao are equal The relationship between Li Rubing and Bai Qi is almost the same. If Bai Qi went to meet Li Rubing in person, wouldn't it tell the world that Bai Qi is not as good as Li Rubing, and Qin is not as good as Zhao?

However, Bai Qi didn't care about this. He smiled and said, "General Geng's words are wrong. The reason why I chose to meet Li Rubing in person was not to flatter Li Rubing, but to show an attitude. Then That is, the general came to the Central Plains with sincerity. The reason why he only brought 100 people was to express this sincerity to Li Rubing. , On the contrary, it will deepen the resentment towards our army, which will be detrimental to the future cooperation.”

"The marshal is wise, but the last general is not enough!" Hearing Bai Qi's explanation, Geng Yue suddenly realized, and at the same time expressed his appreciation for Bai Qi's wisdom, saying that he was far inferior.

"General Geng praised you absurdly. Since we are here to form an alliance this time, we can't let Li Rubing find fault. Only in this way can we not fall into a passive position. Alright, let's go and meet Li Rubing!" Bai Qi walked down the wall, followed by Geng Yue.

Soon, Geng Yue ordered a hundred elites. These were the elites of the Qin army who fought against ten with one enemy, and for the sake of safety, Geng Yue even brought Sheritu with him in case of accidents. Seeing this, there was no objection.
