Chapter 81

After a long conversation between Chen Li and Qin Xiaotian, he was surprised to find that he had really found a treasure. Qin Xiaotian was deeply involved in marching and fighting, and was much more experienced than himself. It seemed that he had been devoted to studying military books and war strategies, waiting for the opportunity to show his strengths, rather than the so-called stability in the world and the peaceful years.

Chen Li told him the complete plan, and Qin Xiaotian deeply agreed. The two of them no longer delayed, said goodbye to the old man, and ran to Ji'an Mansion on horseback.

Ji'an Prefecture was nominally under the rule of the Han army, but after Chen Youliang's defeat, whether they had been eaten by Chen Youding or had a strange intention is still unknown. I hope Zhang Bixian will not have any accidents.

Whatever you are afraid of is coming, just when Zhang Bixian was about to arrive in Ji'an, the 10,000 troops sent by Chen Youding were about to arrive in Ji'an.

Chen Li's task for Zhang Bixian was to raise enough food, wages and weapons in Ji'an for later use. Zhang Bixian was indeed brave. When he learned that Chen Youding's men were also coming to grab the fat piece, he took the initiative and rushed to the camp of Chen Youding's general Zhou Lianzhong overnight, and raided Zhou Lianzhong with the momentum of wind and thunder.

Zhou Lianzhong was Zhang Bixian's opponent, and he was beaten to the point of being embarrassed and almost lost his life.

When Zhang Bixian arrived at the city of Ji'an with great enthusiasm, the prefect of Ji'an Chang Taishun hurriedly came out to greet him, and presented him with wine and food to reward the army, saying a lot of flattering words.

Zhang Bixian joked to Chang Taishun: "Master, if I hadn't come earlier, I'd probably be welcoming the old thief Chen Youding now?"

Ji'an City is definitely not a high city and a bastion, and there are less than a thousand defenders. They are all people who are not good at fighting. No matter who attacks, they almost surrender without fighting.

Chang Taishun said awkwardly: "I will not hide it from General Zhang, Ji'an's major general is scarce, and he really cannot fight against the enemy. Fortunately, the general arrived in time, otherwise..."

Zhang Bixian patted Chang Taishun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Why should you be nervous, magistrate? I will understand your difficulties. I won't say anything. You should prepare everything for me. The King of Han is coming soon."

Chang Taishun welcomed Zhang Bi first into the government office and hurried down to prepare.

Just at dusk the next day after Zhang Bixian arrived, Chen Li rushed over with a light and fast horse.

Chang Taishun held a big banquet to welcome Chen Li. Everyone hadn't drunk so happily for a long time, and they all drank so much.

After the banquet, Chen Li grandly introduced Qin Xiaotian to Zhang Bixian and said, "Uncle San, this is Qin Xiaotian who I met halfway through, General Qin. You should be close to you. In the future, you must be united with sincerity. Uncle San, you cannot bully him."

Zhang Bixian said nothing, and he was unhappy. A young man was named general without even a fight, which was not in accordance with the rules.

While smiling, he grabbed Qin Xiaotian's shoulder and used a lot of force on his hands.

How could ordinary people stand this catch? Unexpectedly, Qin Xiaotian seemed to be unaware of anything and still clasped his fists and said, "It's true that General Zhang is brave. As soon as he arrived here, he defeated Zhou Lianzhong. I admire him very much."

When Zhang Bixian saw Qin Xiaotian's expression as usual, he was secretly surprised. The King of Han really had eyesight. This person was indeed a powerful general.

Chen Li pretended not to see it and said to Zhang Bixian: "Uncle San, what do you want to do next?"

Zhang Bixian said: "Of course we are sticking to Ji'an. Could it be that we still have to hide in the mountains?"

Qin Xiaotian said: "Ju Mo General speculates that in less than half a month, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely send 100,000 troops here. By then, Ji'an will be out of control."

Zhang Bixian looked at Qin Xiaotian with his eyes squinted and said, "What should you do if you say you should do?"

Qin Xiaotian said: "Of course, we retreated to Jinggang Mountain according to the plan formulated by the Han King in advance. This mountain is 500 miles long and wide. On the surface, the mountains are high and dense, but in fact there are several places in it. There are natural dangers in front of it, and then retreating. No matter how many of Zhu Yuanzhang's 100,000 troops can do anything to us."

Zhang Bixian said: "So, General Qin knows the terrain there very well."

"No," Qin Xiaotian pointed to the map and said to Chen Li, "In this radius of three hundred miles, there are many of my friends and relatives, and I know every road and every mountain in the mountains. If the King of Han doesn't have a good idea, then just use his subordinates to station troops in Ninggang."

Chen Li said to Zhang Bixian: "Does the third uncle familiar with this place?"

Zhang Bixian said: "I have never been here, how can I be familiar with you?"

Chen Li said: "Since no one is more familiar with the human geography here than General Qin, then we will follow his arrangements. Do you have any opinions?"

Zhang Bixian said: "Okay, I'll be the king of the mountain."

Qin Xiaotian said to Chen Li: "Before we retreat, we must leave at least ten skilled and loyal men."

Chen Li said: "Why?"

Qin Xiaotian said: "The King of Han is just hiding from the Wu army's edge, and he will come back soon. At that time, this city will definitely be under the heavy troops of the Wu army. If we attack the city again, we will lose soldiers. If there is a reliable inner man in the city, it will be much simpler. As long as they need to seize the city gate at the right time, this city will be destroyed without attacking."

Chen Li nodded and said, "General Qin is indeed far-sighted. He paved the road behind before he even took a step, and he will follow you."

He said to Hua Xiaoyun: "Send ten 'wolf pack' iron guards to lurk and wait for the order."

Hua Xiaoyun immediately went down to select personnel.

Qin Xiaotian looked at Tiefeng, He Yanjiang and others beside Hua Xiaoyun and Chen Li, and said, "The King of Han is really great. These people of you are all top players."

Chen Li smiled and said, "Stop flattering, and continue."

Qin Xiaotian said: "From tomorrow, we will move all the money, grain, iron and military masters in Ji'an City to their destination."

Chen Li said: "Why?"

Qin Xiaotian said: "Of course we can't leave these resources for the Wu army, needless to say. Are those ordnance masters and blacksmiths? Naturally, they want to make weapons and armor day and night, and these things will become more and more nervous in the future."

Chen Li asked strangely: "Are there so many soldiers right now?"

Qin Xiaotian said mysteriously: "I have prepared 50,000 elite soldiers for the Han King in Jinggangshan, just waiting for the gathering and training."

Chen Li pointed at Qin Xiaotian and smiled and said, "Are you joking?"

"Really." Qin Xiaotian said seriously, "How can I joke with the King of Han for such a serious matter?"

Chen Li looked at Qin Xiaotian like a monster and said, "Can you tell me in detail?"

"Since the silver is in your pocket, when will it be a look? King Han said, right?"

Chen Li suddenly realized that the goods in Qin Xiaotian's belly should not be underestimated. He did not pick up a treasure, but a priceless jade bi.

In the next ten days, Chen Li continued to mobilize food and salary personnel, almost emptying the entire Ji'an City, especially the craftsmen, who were caught by him, and not even one of them was left behind.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang had 100,000 soldiers, all he got was an empty city. What's wrong with giving it to him?
