When Chen Xianqi heard Zhai Wenting's request, he was a little hesitant, because before leaving, although Li Xilie asked him to serve as the queen of Shen Guang and Cai, he was also cautious about him and only gave him five thousand soldiers and horses. The rest were divided into Wu brothers, or Han Shuanglu, Feng Youlin, Liu Rongxu, etc., so he asked him to attack other rebel generals in Huaixi all at once, feeling that he was willing but not strong enough.

So Chen Xianqi discussed with several confidants: We first withdrew from Tangcheng and returned to the Li Township garrison, and then sent envoys to contact Gao Yue, Cao Wanggao and others. After waiting for their reinforcements, we will wait for an opportunity anyway.

The next day, on the city wall of Tangcheng County, several Pinglin children suddenly raised the torches in their masters, shaking and dancing, and shouting to the sky forever.

Liu Changqing, wearing court uniform, climbed up the city wall excitedly, and then looked at the north, above Tangcheng Mountain, and there were constant horns in the dawn. Chen Xianqi's men and horses were lined up in several teams, and along the passage between the valleys, they turned toward the northeast.

"Gumbo" sound, Liu Changqing actually knelt on the top of the city, raised his face full of stubbornness, burst into tears, raised his hands high, and grabbed the morning glow in the sky, "Suizhou, I finally saved it!"

The hard battles and hardships of the year! My name of loyalty and righteousness should be spread to the ears of the Holy Lord. After that, I will finally be qualified to return to the capital and become a doctor in the southern province. The next step is to take steps towards the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat.

Soon, a small group of cavalry rushed from the south gate and called us loudly to the Baicao Army of Xingyuan Prefecture, asking Envoy Liu to answer.

Liu Changqing leaned against the female wall and looked down, "Is it Yisong's soldiers?"

"Shaoyin has marched to Tongbai, Tangzhou. I ask the envoy Liu to mobilize the children of Pinglin to restore Sui County and Guanghua County, and gather with the Sannan Camp in Anlu City. Chen Xianqi must have retreated, so please don't miss the opportunity to fight."

"Okay, okay, this time, I finally saved my life." Liu Changqing was happy, excited, and his voice trembled a little. He said to the scout cavalry of the White Grass Army who were tilting his head under the city.

The group of cavalry saluted on the horse's back, then raised the whip and ran back towards Tongbai.

In front of the destruction of the Pingshi County, Gao Yue stood at the gate with a horse whip. The scout who came from Tangcheng County turned over and dismounted and told him: "The Sannan Camp has besieged Anlu, and the rebel general Chen Xianqi gave up attacking Tangcheng and retreated to Lixiang."

"Very good, finally confirmed this news - everyone, we don't have to stay here anymore. We immediately cross the Zheshui and go to Rang County to meet Jia Xiang Gong."

When Baicao Army and the baggage were heading west to Rang County, Jia Dan, Han Tan and Wei Gao's coalition forces had already used the pillar flying cannon to smash the city tower and wall of Rang County, breaking the place where the Huaixi soldiers and the mountain sheds were stationed inside, and the ones were killed and surrendered.

"Where is Feng Youlin?" Jia Dan personally interrogated the prisoners.

The answer I got was that Feng Youlin's men had surrendered to Nanyang.

"Where is Li Xilie!"

The answer I got is unknown.

At this time, Gao Yue, who came to meet, suggested to Jia Dan: "My husband, the most urgent task is to restore the capital. Since you have Rang County, you can march from the northwest and advance along the Wuguan Road to intercept Li Xilie."

Jia Dan nodded in agreement, and then he asked Du Huangshang and Meng Yu to draft a good news, cross the Jin Road, fly to Fengtian City, and report good news to His Majesty the Emperor. He immediately ordered the commander of Liushan Nan Army Ma Guide to lead 3,000 soldiers and stationed in Liurang County to monitor Feng Youlin in the Nanyang area, while he led the main force of Shannan, Feng Yi Army, Xishan Army, and Baicao Army, with a total of 20,000 people, to march directly to Neixiang, and advance to Shangyu and Lantian front line, preparing to encircle and wipe out Li Xilie's army.

Within a few days, the autumn wind was strong, Jia Dan's army headed north along the Tuo River, carrying ten days of dry food, crossed Chuyan, Xincheng, and other places, and then crossed the Tuo River, looking at Nei Township, which was backed by Xishui, "Once you reach Nei Township, continue to seize Wu Pass!"

While Jia Dan was acting, Hun Yu, Duan Xiushi and Cui Ning's army also lined up 30 miles outside Xianyang City. The drums and horns shook the sky, shocking Li Xilie in the camp of Xiwei Bridge.

So Li Xilie called Li Yuanping and said to him in a very upset, "I heard your plan at the beginning, although I had Chang'an City, it was not long. Tianzuo was still in the Li Tang family. Now before I listen to my will, I want to do my best - to join Li Huaiguang and protect Hezhong Prefecture together, how about it?"

Li Yuanping said: "Whether King Chu or Zhu Li or Li Huaiguang are not trusted."

Li Xilie was very anxious, "I regretted not listening to you earlier and returned to Dengzhou, Shangzhou, but disturbed me from visiting Chang'an for so long. Now Duan Xiushi is in front of him, Li Sheng and Jia Dan each cut off their own way of retreat. What should I do?"

Li Yuanping said: "The King of Chu can lead the mule army back quickly, cross the Qipanshan Mountain in Lantian, compete with Jia Dan for Wu Pass, Neixiang. The Huaixi Mule soldiers have always been famous for their bravery. If they defeat Jia Dan, they will go to Nanyang through the turbulent waters, meet with General Feng Youlin, and retreat to the land of Shen Guangcai. If the court then will focus on attacking Li Huaiguang in Hezhong, and we will take the opportunity to discuss the war with the court. The King of Chu will remove the title of king and submit to the court. Relying on Ziqing Jiedushi Li Na and Weibo Jiedushi Tian Yue, we will linger."

Hearing this plan, Li Xilie had to nod and decide where to come from and where to go back.

Then Li Xilie burned all the troops in Xianyang, and the fire lasted for more than ten miles. Then more than 10,000 mule soldiers in Huaixi rolled in from head to tail. Following the direction pointed by the leopard tail gate gun flag, he plundered several counties in the south of Chang'an City, completely abandoning the promises he had originally entered Beijing.

In the Qipan Mountains in Lantian, the peaks gather like waves, the roads are winding and raining, and the circling roads are full of mules spreading their hooves and the cavalry of the Huaixi Army sitting on them. They travel day and night, and are also running towards the Wuguan direction.

Unfortunately, Li Xilie received news just after arriving at Wuguan that Jia Dan's army had already transferred Neixiang, between him and Feng Youlin in Nanyang.

Moreover, Jia Dan also received assistance from Fan Ze: Previously, Fan Ze and Wu Xianfu left Manchuan Pass, cleared Shanyang, and rushed to the Neixiang area to meet with Jia Dan.

Now Jia Dan has nearly 30,000 troops.

Li Xilie became timid again, thinking that it was difficult to compete with Jia Dan, who was waiting for work and had the advantage of the number of people, so he wanted to bypass Neixiang and force cross other ferries in Xichuan to meet Feng Youlin.

"Since the King of Chu thinks so, he must act decisively and can set out at night." Li Yuanping said.

However, most of the gun generals under Li Xilie's command, Ya and the Fakemen, disagreed, believing that the roads from the entire Danshui River Valley to Xishui outside Wuguan were dangerous. If it was too dangerous to walk at night, it would be better to wait until dawn to set up a void first and then lead the main force to cross Xichuan.

Li Xilie couldn't resist it and could only agree.

As a result, after dawn, the Huaining Army discovered that there was no need to set up empty troops. All the ferries on the river bank more than ten miles wide across Xichuan were tightly controlled by Jia Dan's army, and wooden fences and forts were built. It seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time.
