A horse gallops like the wind.

It was the middle of winter, with cold wind and cold rain, and light drizzle and flying snow. The horse's hooves trampled over and over, and countless mud and snow water were sank. The war horses were steaming all over and ran quickly.

The war horses rushed out of the long canyon on the sky and ran into a large camp on the plain outside the valley entrance, until they were under the banner of the central army. The horse knight immediately stopped the war horse and whispered: "Report, the army is urgent to report!"

Under the black flying eagle military flag, in the central army tent, the great marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, King Qin Li Jing, lifted the curtain and came out, followed by several generals, one of them asked loudly to the people, "What is the military situation?"

The knight quickly jumped off his war horse, bowed to Li Jing, and said, "It is good news to report to the King of Qin."

The fast horse brought back the news that the spies from the Military Intelligence Bureau had resigned. Li Keyong had withdrawn Feihu from Yi County through Puyin Xing, and brought 30,000 light cavalry from Chengde and Yanmen Towns. After entering Feihu County, Weizhou, he appointed General Li Siyuan, the general manager of the cavalry and infantry in the Han Dynasty, and led 20,000 cavalry to return to Yanmen in Daizhou via Lingqiu Road. Li Keyong led 10,000 cavalry, and rushed from Feihu through Lingqiu to Zhigu Pass as they had expected in advance.

Li Jing called the knight to enter the tent and poured him a glass of water himself.

"How long will it take for Li Keyong to get to Naogu Pass?"

"There is a snowy and windy weather, and the road is difficult to move forward. Li Keyong is on the Flying Fox Road of Lingqiu Ancient Road. He must first go west from Feihu City to Lingqiu City, and then go northeast to Zhigu Pass. Although he is a cavalry, the weather and road conditions will be as fast as one day and a half, and at the latest two days. Even if he arrives at Zhigu Pass, his troops will be exhausted. If he does not recover for a day and a half, it will be difficult to start fighting immediately."

Li Jing habitually pinched the short moustache under his jaw. Although he is still less than thirty, his current identity has accumulated this short moustache like a steel needle, which has made him feel a little more powerful and mature. After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at his intelligence director Gongsun Lan, "What's the movement in the third department of Datong?"

Although Li Jing divided his spy agency into meticulous division of labor and established eight branches, each of which undertook different tasks and balanced mutual supervision. Gongsun Lan, the supervisor of the Supervisory Office, was more responsible for summarizing and coordinating work, but having this meticulous intelligence consultant by his side did save Li Jing a lot of work and bring a lot of convenience.

This time, Li Jing sent troops to Yanmen Town, and there were not many soldiers who could fight. The Qin army had to maintain the defense of the Jianghuai and Shandong, and prevent Gao Pian and Henan Qi army. At the same time, Li Jing was still in Hejian and Youzhou to leave heavy troops to defend Chengde and Wei Bo. On the other hand, in the rear of the northeast, he had to maintain a force, and there was still a soldier on the grassland at the moment.

The greater the power of the Qin army, the greater the stall. Although Li Jing had expanded his army several times, he often felt the military strength was tense. This time the opportunity was in front of him, Li Jing had to go on the battlefield and led tens of thousands of people to attack Yanmen.

However, Li Jing also knew that his soldiers were small, so it would be possible to use this little force to give Li Ke a heavy blow. But it was impossible to solve Li Ke's army with one blow. Therefore, before sending troops, Li Jing had already thought about it, secretly sent people to Datong Army and invited the three divisions of Datong to send troops together. Li Jing hoped that after he invaded Weizhou, the three divisions of Datong would directly send troops to Yanmen.

"The Yanmen secret spies sent back the news. The three Datong divisions had all three troops and went south with all their might. There were 60,000 horses and stances. The soldiers forced Yanmen Pass to leave. At present, Li Keyong's adopted son Li Cunjin stayed behind in Yanmen Pass. There were only 5,000 Shatuo soldiers and 10,000 Han troops in his hand." Gongsun Lan replied. After pausing, she looked at Li Jing and said softly: "Your Highness thinks the Datong army can be trusted?"

Li Jing smiled slightly and looked at Gongsun Lan, "What are you referring to?"

"Although the three tribes of Datong have 60,000 troops, they may not be able to capture Yanmen Pass. And even if they can capture Yanmen, is this necessarily a good thing for us? The three tribes once attached to Shatuo, but did they betray them in the end? All three tribes are Hu tribes, and they are definitely not trustworthy people. If the three tribes seize Yanmen Town, we are afraid that we will defeat Shatuo, but the three tribes are the next Shatuo, and even their strength will surpass the Shatuo people. This result is not good for us, right?"

"If we are not a race, our hearts will be different!" Li Jing smiled, "You want to say this, right?" He chuckled, "This sentence is indeed true. If we are strong, foreign races may surrender and rely on them, but this loyalty is not reliable, but difficult to control. However, this does not mean that we must be fully hostile to these foreign races. At some point, as long as we control the situation, we can appoint them within a controllable range and use their power. At least, we can also use barbarians to control barbarians!"

"You are right. The Shatu tribe is a precedent. These Hu people cannot truly believe it. Whether it is the Datong Three Tribes or Shatu, these people just respect the strong and they will not be truly loyal to anyone. Now that we are going to war with Shatu, we can use the Datong Three Tribes. We promise the existing interests of the Shatu people to the Datong Three Tribes, so that they can bite the Shatu people with dogs. We don't need to fight with them. We just need to wave the bones in our hands to see them bite each other. When both of them are injured, we can control the whole situation better."

From the beginning, Li Jing actually did not think that the three divisions of Datong could solve Yanmen Town this time, but Li Jing still implemented this plan. Because Li Jing did not really plan to let the three divisions of Datong replace Shatuo and control Yanmen Town. His real intention was to let the three divisions of Datong be used as the power lacking in the Qin army. As the thug of the Qin army, beating Li Keyong will not only weaken the power of the Jin army, but also weaken the strength of the three divisions of Datong.

In Li Jing's eyes, when the Qin army captured the four states in front of the mountain and entered Hezhong, the three tribes of Datong and the Shatuo people in Yanmen were actually the same, and they all became the enemy forces of the Qin army!

"Let them fight, no matter who wins and loses! Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and watch the fire across the bank!" Li Jing said calmly.

The three tribes of Datong fought with the Shatuo people, and the two major forces in Daibei attacked each other. The final benefit was naturally the Qin army that entered Daibei.

"Let us turn our attention to Li Keyong and Liu, they are our target. Tell me, where is Li Keyong's support Wang Jingchong leading the follow-up infantry now?" Yanmen was not Li Jing's target, but it did not mean that Li Jing did not want to defeat Li Keyong.

"Wang Jingchong led 30,000 infantry soldiers to the Weizhou Feihu, and is still in Yizhou. It can arrive at Feihu in as early as two days, and at least three days. In addition, I just received the latest information, Li Keyong was already anxious. He had sent an envoy to reach a new alliance with Wang Jingchong. Li Keyong ceded Yizhou to Chengde Town in exchange for Wang Jingchong to send 50,000 more reinforcements to Yanmen Town next!"

Li Jing sneered, "Li Keyong is very cunning. He knew that after this battle, Shatuo would inevitably lose its strength, and it would be difficult to defend Xin Daiwei, let alone Yizhou east of Taihang? He is now a hero who cuts his arm and is very decisive. He not only avoids the wound that makes Yizhou become the Shatuo people who will bleed in the future, and consumes their strength. At the same time, he can immediately withdraw all his troops and return to Yanmen, and then exchange this piece of idle ribs for Chengde Town, which can be exchanged for the second batch of 50,000 reinforcements in Chengde Town, but also sold it to Wang Jingchong for a favor. Oh my God, Wang Jingchong was probably very happy to hear this news, thinking that he had finally swallowed Yi Ding and monopolized Yiwu Town, which was a great victory. But he didn't know that he would sooner or later regret his decision today."

"King, Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong lead troops back to the rescue, and Wang Jingchong will also reinforce the army. We are not sufficient in our troops. Do we still need to implement the original plan?" Wang Pu, the Minister of War, said with some concern. After capturing the four prefectures, Li Jing left troops to guard the military and four prefectures. At this time, there were not many soldiers and horses stationed in front of Xionger Mountain, with only 30,000 troops. Facing the vast mountains, even if there were elite cavalry, they could not play the role of a cavalry cluster.

Li Jing smiled.

Wang Pu has a curly beard. His beard, who is in his prime, has become as dark as lacquer, which has added several killing spirits to him. However, since he led Duli Town to join Li Jing, this momentum has become much gentler. Now that Li Jing is married to the Yu family, Wang Pu, who has been deeply hit, has become a little nervous. The decisive aura of killing has become less and less.

Li Jing knew that the marriage with Yu family had a great blow to his father-in-law, but that matter was not possible. He had a happy cooperation with Wang Pu. If he was affected by this, Li Jing would not mind changing his position.

"Waihou, sometimes, a good strategy is often stronger than the results brought by the brilliant command posts of the front-line generals. And if there are both good strategic arrangements and good tactical commands, then even if we have few enemies, we still have a huge advantage. The current situation, as planned, will be implemented, and we can still control the overall situation, drive the entire situation, mobilize the enemy, and the final victory will still be ours."

"Please come to the Shangshu, Cabinet, Staff Office, and the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Finally, we will discuss the entire plan to ensure that everything is foolproof!" Li Jing said to his close servant Zhang Tieqiang.

There were only 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hand, but there was a fortress pass opposite, and there were 20,000 soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers in Guanzhong. In addition, there were also King Li Keyong of Shatuo, leading 10,000 light cavalry to come at night, and behind him, Jingdi, King of Chengde Town, led 30,000 infantry reinforcements. This was not all the enemy reinforcements. The 20,000 Yanmen Army in Yizhou will also return to the rescue. It won't take long. If the war is in a stalemate, the Chengde army will mobilize 50,000 troops to come.

The more time goes by, the whole situation will become more and more unfavorable to the Qin army.
