The battle at Pujin Pass is in full swing, but Chang'an City, far away from the flames of war, is a scene of calm.

To the north of Chang'an City, there are many hills and ravines, dense forests, few people, and wild animals appear from time to time. It has always been a hunting place for the rich and powerful in the Guanzhong area, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it at all.

Now, as the rebel army captured Chang'an, the nearby people were afraid of causing disaster, so they dared not show up in this area. Therefore, no one knew that thousands of people appeared in the depths of the dense forest at this time, and they hid themselves. In this vast mountain forest, he can't hide during the day, and only appears at night, looking around for the situation inside and outside Chang'an City.

They are the left and right inner leaders of the East Palace, led by the left inner leader Feng Chang and the right inner leader Sha Luo respectively. They were ordered by Xiao Jie to lead a thousand elite soldiers from Qingzhou, break them into pieces, and avoid the rebellion all the way. The main force of the army is hiding in the forest outside Luoyang City, just to find an opportunity to recapture Chang'an.

At this time, in a cave in the mountain forest, a scout boss was reporting the military situation: "The nine gates of Chang'an City have been closed for the past few days, and no one is allowed to enter or exit at all, but the subordinates still escaped before finding some. The people of Chang'an City heard from them that the person guarding Chang'an City today is General Zhenwei Shangnan."

After hearing this, Feng Chang and Sha Luo couldn't help but look at each other. They both saw disappointment and helplessness in each other's eyes. The nine gates of Chang'an City were all closed. The defenders in the city really didn't give them any chance. It is impossible to dare to storm Chang'an City with only 1000 people.

The two of them couldn't help but cast their eyes on Yao Ce who came to Chang'an with them. After all, before coming, His Highness gave clear instructions to ask Mr. Yao. They also know that if they want to take Chang'an City , Inseparable from Mr. Yao's strategizing.

Yao Ce's expression remained the same, but he smiled faintly, as if he had expected the Liangzhou Army's deployment for a long time.

He just cast his eyes on Guo Liang who had been silent all the time, and asked lightly: "General Guo, are you familiar with this Shang Nan?"

Guo Liang could hear Yao Ce's implication, but still shook his head and said, "Mr. Yao, I don't have much contact with Shang Nan. I only know that he is from Jiaozhou. He followed King Qin very early and was loyal to King Qin. Trust him... If Mr. Yao wants to instigate him, it may be very difficult."

Yao Ce still couldn't see any disappointment on his face. After all, he had long thought in his heart that Chang'an City was related to the final retreat of the Liangzhou Army who was fighting outside. Since it was so important, Xiao Huang must be his most trusted confidant Come guard.

He didn't continue to ask about Shang Nan, but instead asked the scout uncle who was standing by: "How many troops are there in Longshouyuan's camp?"

Hearing Yao Ce's question about the Longshouyuan camp, Qin Huan, the Yueqi general who came to Chang'an together, couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

As the western capital of Daning, Chang'an also has a Jinwu Guard, and the Chang'an Jinwu Guard camp is in Longshouyuan, north of Chang'an City. This is the highest place outside Chang'an City, and the terrain is open. If Chang'an If there is something in the city, they can go to the city to support at any time.

Before the soldiers of Liangzhou came to Chang'an, Wei Ang, the governor of Yongzhou, followed his advice and transferred all the Jinwu guards outside the city into the city for defense. Therefore, it is said that the original camp of Longshou has long been abandoned, and it should be empty at this time. right.

But the chief scout thought for a while and replied: "Our scouts don't dare to get too close to the Longshouyuan camp, but judging from the number of camps activated, there should be about 3000 people. Besides, our scouts I also found out that their general is called Peng Qi."

Qin Huan's face was even more astonished, and he secretly admired Yao Ce in his heart, but he really couldn't figure out how Yao Ce knew that King Qin would station troops in the Longshouyuan camp.

Yao Ce also noticed Qin Huan's strangeness, couldn't help but smiled, and took the initiative to explain: "Since the defenders in the city dare to close all the gates and completely cut off all connections inside and outside the city, it means that there must be another army stationed outside the city. Pass on the military situation outside the city to the defenders inside the city at any time."

Everyone in the cave couldn't help but suddenly realized, and they admired Yao Ce even more in their hearts.

Yao Ce then glanced at Guo Liang, smiled and said, "General Guo, if I guessed correctly, this Peng Qi should not be King Qin's confidant."

Guo Liangliang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yao's guess is right. This Peng Qi was originally Wang Cheng's man, but after Wang Cheng's death, he took advantage of the wind and joined King Qin. However, because of this reason, King Qin has never How to trust him."

Yao Ce secretly sneered, if Xiao Huang trusted Peng Qi, he would not have been sent to guard the Longshouyuan camp.

At this moment, he already had a calculation in his mind, and the breakthrough point for them to regain Chang'an was very likely to be on this Peng Qi.

Yao Ce took another deep look at Guo Liang: "General Guo, are you willing to take me to meet this Peng Qi?"

Everyone in the cave couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard the words, Feng Chang was the first to stand up and dissuade him: "Mr. Yao, you must not put yourself in danger, if you have something good or bad, how can I explain to His Highness. "

"Yes, Mr. Yao, General Feng is right." Guo Liang couldn't help dissuading Yao Ce, "I heard that Wang Cheng has always treated Peng Qi kindly, but once Wang Cheng died, he would take the lead in allegiance without hesitation. It can be seen that he is a mercenary and capricious fool, if he wants to harm Mr. Yao, it will be too late to regret it."

"It is precisely because of Peng Qi's unscrupulousness and capriciousness that I decided to go to see him!" Yao Ce smiled lightly, but his eyes flashed brightly, "Now that the soldiers in Liangzhou are not stable, King Qin is putting all his eggs in one basket. Feng Zhiruo's character will inevitably start to plan for his own future, and this is the best chance for me to convince him."

Seeing that everyone wanted to persuade them again, Yao Ce resolutely waved his hands and said, "I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore, the soldiers at Pujin Pass are still fighting bloody battles with the rebels, struggling to support them, if we can't take them down as soon as possible Chang'an, if King Qin captures Pujin Pass before us, the consequences will be disastrous."

As soon as Yao Ce mentioned the soldiers at Pujin Pass, the others in the cave fell silent for a moment. After all, the 2 soldiers at Pujin Pass were also members of the Ten Commanders of the Eastern Palace. Failure to win Chang'an caused [-] of them to be buried in Pujin Pass. I'm afraid they will be uneasy for the rest of their lives.

Seeing this, Guo Liang could only nod his head helplessly, and said with emotion: "In this case, I will take Mr. Yao to see Peng Qi... But please rest assured, Mr. Yao, if Peng Qi wants to harm Mr. Yao, unless he comes from me, Guo Liang. step over the dead body."

Yao Ce was not as impassioned as Guo Liang, but smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "General Guo, just rest assured, since this Peng Qi knows how to adapt to the wind, he is a smart person who knows how to judge the situation, for the sake of him and his family Life or death, he won't do anything to me."
