Chapter 50: Sharpen the knife to the tiger wolf

Qin Jin heard that four or five thousand people were coming straight to Shaanzhou City, and he didn't care about dealing with the rebel general Du Qianyun anymore, so he ordered someone to take him into custody, so he led Wuhu Huaizhong to the city wall.

"Give the order to go down, close the four gates, and not let a single soldier enter!"

Several leaders of the Tang army in Shaanzhou only promised to take the order, but the Qin and Jin soldiers did not believe them, since these people were willing to surrender with Du Qianyun, as long as the situation was not good, maybe they would have the idea of surrendering and offering the city again.

If you pin your hopes for defending the city on these people, it is better to pin your hopes on pigs. Shaanzhou City is not big, and after a while, Qin Jin came to the city wall, and he was ready to abandon the city and retreat once he was defeated.

It was still the guards beside Qin Jin who had sharp eyes, and after looking at it for a while, they exclaimed in confusion: "Huh, I look at the unity soldiers who look like Xin'an!"

Qin Jin looked carefully and saw that the banner fluttering among thousands of people was exactly the style of Xin'an. But how is this possible? When they parted ways, Qin Jin ordered Qi Bihe to lead the people to Shangluo Mountain, and it was impossible for him to come so quickly, and even if he came, he should go to Kip Shi in the east of Shaanzhou as agreed, and it was impossible for Qi Bihe to know that he was in Shaanzhou at this time.

Moreover, at the beginning, Qin Jincheng told him that if he found that the situation was not good in the process of going north, he must not go against the trend, and when he returned to the county where the rebels could not reach, or even went to Shangluo to join the people together, he must not look for the Tang army nearby. Qin Jin knew very well that in the next half a year, the Kwantung Tang Army could only be cannon fodder in front of the An Lushan rebels. Before the Tang army of Shuofang and Longyou and even Anxi sent troops one after another, the An Lushan rebels had almost no opponents.

"Chang Shijun, look, isn't that Qiyihe?"

Qin Jin looked more closely, who could it be that the person who rode the horse first was not Qi Bihe? At the same time, he also secretly sighed that Qi Bihe still failed to obey his orders in the end, first, he did not escort the people of Xin'an to Shangluo, and second, he was not found in Kipshi, and Qi Bihe failed to retreat to the southern counties as agreed.

In the end, Qi Bihe chose to go west to Shaanzhou to join Gao Xianzhi, but he never expected that Gao Xianzhi had burned down the Taiyuan warehouse and retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River.

After discovering that it was a false alarm, Qin Jin sent people out of the city to pick up Qi Bihe, and these four or five thousand people were definitely a relief for him. The original garrison of more than 10,000 defenders in Shaanzhou City was not enough, and if there were the united soldiers brought by Qibihe, the situation would be very different.

It is hard to imagine how Chebihe brought four or five thousand people all the way to Shaanzhou, you must know that the current Kip Stone is already under the control of the rebels, and it is not easy to bring such a large group of united soldiers to Shaanzhou safe and sound under the noses of the rebels.

Sure enough, Qi Bihe did not expect that Gao Xianzhi had evacuated Shaanzhou City, let alone that it was Qin Jin who was in charge of Shaanzhou City at this time. Under the excitement, I couldn't help but be moved.

It turned out that he entered Bear's Ears Mountain after escorting the people of Xin'an for half a day, and when he arrived here, the tentacles of An Lushan's rebels would not reach this kind of poor countryside at all. So, Qi Bihe discussed with several village elders of the people of Xin'an for a while, and after reaching the consensus of the big guys, he took 4,000 united soldiers all the way north to cross the Kunshan Mountain to find Qin Shaofu.

When he arrived at Kipshi with his people full of hope, he was disappointed to find that the banner of the rebels had fluttered at the head of Kipshi City at this time. In desperation, in order not to be discovered by the rebels, he had to go into the dense forest of Kunshan Mountain.

Because he couldn't find Qin Jin, Qi Bihe decided to go to Shaanzhou again, even if he couldn't find Qin Shaofu, they couldn't go back empty-handed, right?

As a result, I never expected that after several twists and turns in the dense forest of Kushan Mountain, after arriving in Shaanzhou, I met Qin Jin by mistake.

After the 4,000 united soldiers entered the city, Qin Jin's confidence was suddenly sufficient, even if he did not integrate the Tang army under Du Qianyun, it was more than enough to protect himself in the case of rebel pressure.

At the moment of settling the united soldiers, Qi Bihe said something to Qin Jin in a very frightened tone.

"Wildfire!"

What he feared was the mountain fire, and he had seen the great mountain fire a few years ago, seven days and seven nights, the raging fire burned everything, the number of mountains and forests, the birds and animals, and the mountain people trapped in it, and even part of the farmland was affected.

The fire spread faster than a galloping horse, and nothing could escape the clutches of the flames, and at that moment, he saw the horror of fire thoroughly, and only then did he know for the first time that fire can not only bring life to people, but also bring great bad luck. After a heavy rain extinguished the wildfire, billowing smoke and dust filled the sky over Henan Province for a long time.

"Shaofujun, go down to ......"

Before the general finished speaking, the unity soldier who had been following Qin Jin said: "Captain Qibi doesn't know yet, our Qin Shaofu is not a county lieutenant now, the Son of Heaven issued an edict, and he has moved to the right to the history of the county magistrate of Hongnong!"

The words are full of pride and pride, let me ask this Tang Dynasty, who else is faster than Chang Shijun? Although this news was learned from Bian Lingcheng's mouth, Qin Jin, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, did not see it, strictly speaking, he was not the Hongnong County Magistrate at this time, but at this moment, using the name of the Hongnong County Magistrate to win people's hearts is far better than a Xin'an County Lieutenant, so he never denied it.

Che Riga was also surprised, one delighted, and then continued the topic he had just interrupted.

"The big mountain fire has already spread in the mountain, and if it weren't for the north wind, it would have almost been engulfed by the mountain fire. He said the experience was still painful, but it also showed that as long as the fire was not extinguished, there was no way for the An Lushan rebels to march westward. He came to the conclusion that there was no longer any need to defend Shaanxi County at this time, and since Gao Dafu had withdrawn, they might as well avoid the rebel front.

Qin Jin laughed when he heard Qi Bihe's thoughts, "Brother Qi Bi is very strategic, but he only knows one and doesn't know the other. He didn't expect that this Che Bi He seemed to be rude, and he also had his own details at the time, and some ideas were indeed very appropriate and appropriate.

At this moment, a ranger from the Tongluo Department suddenly reported that the pontoon bridge of the Yellow River had been cut off, and a large number of Tang army soldiers could not advance or retreat, and they were already in chaos on the bank of the Yellow River. Qin Jin was shocked when he heard this, and immediately led people along the city wall to the north city. When I arrived in Beicheng, I looked down condescendingly, and saw that the pontoon bridge had really been broken, and a large section of the pontoon bridge swung left and right with the Tangtang River in a piece of broken ice.

Judging from the position where the pontoon bridge was truncated, it was on the north bank of the Yellow River. Qin Jin stared into the distance, but faintly saw a group of Tang soldiers gathered on the north bank, not knowing what they wanted.

After knowing that these Tang troops crowded on the banks of the Yellow River were all deserters, he scolded viciously: "These bastards should be driven down the river and feed the fish!"

After retracting his gaze, Qin Jin made two more decisions.

First, immediately send someone across the Yellow River to contact Gao Xianzhi. Second, send people to the east to spread the news of the defeat of Cui Qianyou's army and his own death.

It was Qi Bihe's description of this great mountain fire that inspired Qin Jin. If this fire can block the post road from east to west, won't it also be blocked from west to east?

Looking at the black clouds looming in the southwest, it is a large mountain fire developed from the Da Hyeon fire. Qin Jin sighed with emotion, and today he knows what it means to be unintentionally inserted into a willow. Presumably, Cui Qianyou has been tormented by this mountain fire at the moment.

Qin Jin personally crossed the Kunshan Mountain, arrived at Yuzhou and Da Xian Mountain, and rushed all the way to Shaanzhou, and was very familiar with the terrain along the way. He fully agrees with Qi Bihe's statement, Cui Qianyou lost his grain and grass, and the road to the east through Shaanxi County back to Michi was blocked by the smoke of the fire, and the Gujian Pass in the Kushan Mountain was also engulfed by the fire. If it is not bad, they have fallen into a state of inadequacy.

It is to take advantage of this opportunity to spread rumors to the east of Shaanzhou and disturb the morale of the rebels. I believe that the news of the fire in Kunshan will also be transmitted back in three or five days, and at that time, the rebels will inevitably appear chaotic, and Luoyang will prepare for An Lushan's enthronement ceremony on the first day, and there is no time to look west, and this is not his Qin Jin's opportunity?
