Please ask me to be the emperor

It is said that Li Xin led more than a thousand people all the way north to Zixia Pass. As expected, he saw that the pass was covered with purple nepheline, which was very beautiful. If the morning light comes, it will shine brightly, like purple air coming from the east.

Its topography has two mountains standing in a dangerous position, with a gap in the middle that is only six feet wide and tight, showing the situation of "one man can block the barrier and ten thousand people cannot open it".

Li Xin was leading troops for the first time. He was afraid of making mistakes, so he quickly sent his scouts into Baixing to investigate, and at the same time ordered his soldiers to cut down trees, collect stones, and build a pass.

The scouts went more than ten miles into Baixing and saw two cliffs intertwined with each other. The sky was cloudy and the sun was shining brightly. When they looked up, they could only see a sliver of blue sky. The road is winding and winding. When you look up, you can't see the exit, and when you look back, you can't see the way back. Pedestrians feel as if they are imprisoned by a stone wall, which is very dangerous.

The scouts searched for a long time and found no trace of the officers and soldiers before returning. After receiving the scout's report, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief. He only ordered his soldiers to go out on guard, while the others continued to build the garrison.

In a few days, the construction of Guanzhai, which was made of wood and stone, was completed, and Li felt a little relieved. While continuing to order the soldiers to go into Lingchuan to investigate, he also ordered the soldiers to go out of the valley and build warning points.

After being stationed like this for a long time, no one was around, and most of the soldiers were slack. Li Xin urged and spurred many times, and the soldiers complained many times.

Or he said: "This is a place where birds don't poop. There are no human beings in front or behind, and we can only hear the hissing of animals in the morning and evening. It's easy for us to have a moment of leisure, but General Li can't see us waiting for leisure!"

Li Xin had seen Zhang Shun take care of the group of people before, but he didn't expect that it was his turn, but he was rogue in every possible way and refused to use his life.

He had no choice but to persuade us with sincerity: "The general entrusted us with this place, so we must not make any mistakes. If we are attacked by officers and soldiers, and if the general does not punish us, I am afraid that our lives and property will not be safe!"

"I can't wait for a few days of hard work. If no officers and soldiers come, it will be a good feeling. Just sit quietly for a few days and it will be a great achievement. Why not do it?"

As a result, sensible people can still be persuaded. Some bullied him for being young and became even more unscrupulous. Li Xin had no choice but to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys in order to avoid betraying Zhang Shun's trust.

Although he couldn't bear it, he had to deal with several people through military law before suppressing this slack trend.

After waiting like this for more than a month, there was no movement of officers and soldiers in Lingchuan. Li Xin also thought that Zhang Shun had made a mistake in his judgment, and he felt a little tired.

It was not until the officers and soldiers touched the warning points set up by the rebels in the valley that they were discovered by the rebels, even though an alarm was issued.

Li Xin's previous strict precautions and punishments were still quite powerful in the hearts of these soldiers, but they were not so lax.

It was night, and everyone heard the alarm, got up quickly, and took up weapons and armor for defense.

In the valley, the terrain is steep and difficult to walk on horseback. The officers and cavalry were unable to ride, so they had to dismount and fight on foot.

Because of the mountains blocking the way, the valley was pitch dark. All the rebels subconsciously lit fires in order to look for the enemy. As a result, Li Xin saw it and stopped drinking quickly.

The terrain here is dangerous, and the checkpoint Li Xin set up is right at the exit of Baixing, making it difficult for the officers and soldiers to fly. Why bother to do this, but it will be easy for the officers and soldiers to take advantage of it.

The terrain in the valley is rugged, with gravel and deep ditches making it difficult for officers and soldiers to march. If they are not careful, some officers and soldiers may sprain their ankles, or fall into deep ditches, making it difficult for them to walk.

Since the officers and soldiers could not trace the movements of the rebels, they had no choice but to light their own torches and forcibly attack Li Xin's Guanzhai after taking over the warning points in the valley.

This time, it was Cao Bianjiao, Cao Wenzhao's nephew, who led the attack. It turned out that Cao Wenzhao was worried that the other generals would meet in a narrow road and would not be able to win with courage without exerting their utmost strength. So he deliberately let his nephew act as the vanguard, while he commanded the army to follow closely.

At this time, although Cao Bianjiao was less famous than Cao Wenzhao, his bravery was no worse than that of his uncle.

After receiving the order, he had a rank, wore black armor, and sneakily reached the rebel security point.

It's just that Cao Bianjiao really didn't expect that the rebels had already taken precautions and had set up warning posts in high places. In order to prevent being discovered by the alert sentry, Cao Bianjiao had no choice but to lead his troops to touch it personally and captured the sentry point in one fell swoop.

It's just that Li Xin has been following Zhang Shun for a long time and is quite organized. He has already set up two sentry posts, one bright and one dark.

When Cao Bianjiao touched the fatal whistle, the secret whistle discovered the actions of the officers and soldiers in time, and immediately blew the agreed whistle to warn the rebels.

When Cao Bianjiao saw that the sneak attack failed, he was not afraid. He directly turned the sneak attack into a strong attack and took down another hidden sentry in just a moment.

At this time, Li Xin and his men had already made preparations. Since the rebels did not light the lights like the original sentry, Cao Bianjiao and his men were unable to walk in the dark.

Although Cao Bianjiao knew that if he lit the torch at this time, he would become the target of the enemy's fire, he could only do this if he did not give up the attack.

The officers and soldiers lit torches and pointed the direction of the enemy to the rebels in the dark valley.

At the beginning, in order to strengthen his defensive capabilities, Li Xin specifically asked Zhang Shun for some firearms such as small flanges, three-eyed blunderbuss, and quick guns, which came in handy this time.

In order to avoid being focused on the fire by the officers and soldiers, Li Xin specially arranged for the soldiers to place the fire source in a dark and backlit place. Cao Bianjiao saw only a little light from a distance, but was unable to hit the soldiers near the fire source.

The rebels' counterattack was like target shooting, more accurate than the previous practice shooting.

However, Cao Bianjiao had no fear. The elite servants around him are all wearing double armor and are invulnerable, and are not afraid of the shooting of such weak firearms.

Li Xin saw that the soldiers fired several rounds and the fire on the opposite side continued unabated, so he guessed that the damage on the opposite side would not be big. In order to prevent unnecessary waste of ammunition, Li Xin had to order the soldiers to load ammunition and wait for orders before shooting.

Not long after, as expected, Cao Bianjiao and others came over. Because the Guanzhai built by Li Xin was relatively dangerous, Cao Bianjiao had to order his soldiers to throw iron hooks and ropes in order to climb up.

Li Xin then ordered the soldiers to cut the ropes with swords and axes, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to shoot at the city. Cao Bianjiao suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, these officers and soldiers were all servants raised generously by Cao Wenzhao, so they were not afraid of death. They resolutely withstood the rebel attack and climbed up the city wall.

Although this group of officers and soldiers was small in number, all of them were skilled warriors wearing double armor. One of them was often as good as ten, and the rebel army was defeated steadily.

Li Xin was about to lead the troops to fight in person, but suddenly he remembered Zhang Shun's evaluation of Chen Changzhen: The way to use troops lies in wisdom rather than strength. Even if one is equal to ten, one is equal to a hundred, but he is no more than a servant and a warrior. An Neng is "ten thousand people" "Enemy"?

After thinking about this, Li Xin took a closer look and found that the armor of the officers and soldiers was so strong that the rebels could not penetrate it.

Li Xin then came up with a plan and quickly ordered his soldiers to form a group. They used spears, wooden clubs and other objects to fork the officers and soldiers who were rushing up, and pushed them to the bottom of the Guanzhai.

Although the number of officers and soldiers was small, it was not long before they were swarmed by the rebels and pushed down the city wall with various long soldiers. No matter how thick his armor was, he would only fall to death faster.
