The next day, after burying a pot to make a full meal, the Qin army set out and the troops were sent to Xunyang.

Feng Yu, Shaofu, stayed in Ruyang City to guard the town, and was also responsible for the food supply of the Qin army to avoid food and grass problems.

Before the three armies move, food and grass will take the lead. Only by ensuring food and grass can we send troops to fight, especially for army with insufficient training and poor morale.

The two places were not far apart, and after a rushing march, they had already entered the Xunyang territory in the afternoon.

In the evening, the Qin army chose a suitable place to camp and prepared to rest for a night before setting off to avoid being trapped and ridden by the enemy.

In the central army's tent, Jiang Ji recruited many generals to discuss matters in the tent.

"November ago, the scouts heard news that Xunyang County is now only Huling City, which is closest to the south, and it is already in danger."

Jiang Ji glanced at the people in the account with different expressions and asked, "What good plans do you have to drive away the thief army?"

Bai Yan went out of the line, asked someone to expand the map, and then said, "Please look at the map, this is Huling City, the closest to us, from south to north, are Kanban, Rushen, Qingyu, Huanbo, and Qukai five cities."

"I received information yesterday, and Ruxin and Qingyu were captured by tricks, and Kan Dun was lost again today. Huling City is not very tall, and I am afraid I won't be able to hold on for long in the face of the thieves."

"But the bandit army is now scattered in Zhucheng, and the main forces are attacking Huling City. If our army pretends to be reinforcements from other troops to attract bandit army, it will definitely prevent them from moving around and stabilize the situation."

"At the same time, our army's main force bypasses Huling City and penetrates directly behind him, and then he can cut off his retreat, and then attack the main force of the thief army on both sides and defeat him."

Feng Tang immediately retorted: "Although the lieutenant's strategy is good, the requirements for the army to be implemented are too high. If it is not an elite force, it may not be able to attack. Instead, it will be attacked."

"I agree with the Chief Secretary's words. If our army had not surrendered the bandit army in Ruyang, it would have been possible, but it is impossible now."

Zhao Shuo said that, walking to the map, pointing to the map and said, "In fact, the lieutenant's strategy is not undesirable. We can use the main force to support Huling City openly, and then divide two other units, bypass Huling City, and directly attack Kan'an, Ruxin City."

"If you can quickly win two cities, you will naturally cut off the rear of the bandit army. At the same time, you will have a strong city as your support, so you will not be afraid of the bandit army's attack."

"On the contrary, the main force of the bandit army has no strong city support. We must always be prepared for attacks, and we cannot supply food and grass."

"After a long time, the components of the bandit army will be defeated without fighting."

"Although the doctor ordered this strategy to be good, there is also a big question. How to quickly win two games?"

After Bai Yan asked back, he continued: "There is no omission in Yan's strategy. The bandit army's military discipline is scattered and its combat effectiveness is low. As long as you go around the back and attack, you can annihilate the main force of the bandit army with the power of thunder, and you will not give the bandit army a chance to attack."

"What if we cannot quickly eliminate the thief army? Lieutenant, don't forget that there are experts in the thief army. It would be difficult to deceive the thief army with too simple strategies."

Feng Tang was not optimistic about Bai Yan's strategy. After all, Bai Yan was quite confident in the combat effectiveness of the Qin army.

But it is impossible for the bandit army to occupy most of Xunyang County without some ability, and his strategy is too risky.

In contrast, Fengtang felt that Zhao Shuo's ideas were more operational.

"Tang felt that the words of the doctor's order were more suitable. As for the quick capture of two cities, it was simple. The thief army was distracted. If someone sent to pretend to be a thief army and open the city gate, it would be easy to win the two cities."

Jiang Ji pondered for a moment and made a choice: "Then follow the strategy of the doctor's order. The lieutenant and the doctor's order each led an army. An planned to act. He was alone in charge of the army and led his army to Huling City."

"promise!"

"You all go and prepare and set out early tomorrow."

...

Early the next morning, Bai Yan and Zhao Shuo each led 5,000 more elite soldiers and set off.

Jiang Ji also ordered the army to set sail and rush to Huling City.

He must ensure that Huling City will not be captured by the bandit army before Bai Yan and his friends complete their established goals. Otherwise, with the support of the city, it will be even more difficult to easily destroy the bandit army.

Perhaps because he had received news of the Qin army coming to aid, the morale of the defenders of Huling City increased greatly, and he withstood the life-threatening impact of the bandit army and defended Huling City.

The bandit army was frustrated in siege. After knowing that the Qin army was coming, not only did not intend to evacuate, but instead seized the time to increase the camp, as if to use this to fight against the Qin army.

After arriving at Huling City, Jiang Ji did not rush to enter the city, but first built a camp outside the city, relied on each other with Huling City, and then brought his personal guards into Huling City.

At the gate of the city, Jiang Ji met Wu Xian, the governor of Xunyang County who brought people to greet him.

"I have seen His Highness the King of Qin, thank you for coming to help you quickly."

Wu Xian didn't look very good at this time, his eyes were covered with bloodshot and his expression was haggard, which shows that life was not easy during this period.

"The Lord of Wu's family doesn't have to be so polite. Gu is also an imperial official. It is natural for him to come to rescue him. It is just that due to the law, it is difficult to use troops without authorization. Otherwise, Gu should have come a few days ago."

Jiang Ji sighed: "When I received the letter from the Fujun, I had been delayed for too long. On the way, I heard about the fall of Kan Dun, Ruxin and Qingyu. Fortunately, the Fujun had nothing to do, otherwise my Dayu would lose a great talent."

"The King of Qin cannot praise it like this."

Wu Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

His family knew his family's affairs and it was okay to ask him to manage the place, but he was not good at leading troops to fight. He wanted to destroy the thief army, but he had no ability and was chased everywhere instead.

For Jiang Ji, it was already good that Wu Xian could do this.

You should know that more than 90% of the officials in the Dayu Empire are from major families. There may be many talents among them, but many of them rely solely on relationships to enter the official career.

This also leads to the uneven quality of officials. Many of them are talkative people and brags are great, but they can't count on them when they encounter problems.

Many of them directly abandoned their posts in the face of Wu Xian's situation.

In contrast, Wu Xian is at least still sticking to the situation and has several tricks to manage the area.

"There are many people who go north alone and abandon their officials along the way. If everyone is like the King of Wu's Mansion, the bandits will not be so rampant."

Although Wu Xian knew that Jiang Ji was a polite word, he still couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"King Qin Mizan, you have come from afar and traveled all the way. Please go into the mansion to rest."

"Don't be busy for now. Seeing that the soldiers and civilians in the city were full of fatigue, I would rather order some of the Qin army to enter the city and take over the defense, let the soldiers and civilians in the city rest first, and then make plans to see how to wipe out the thief army. What do you think?"
