"Ashina, why hasn't he come to see the envoy?"

After Huangfu Ke calmed down, he found that Ashina Congli, the guard of Hedong City, was not here, and he was very dissatisfied. This guy is interested in speculation, and colluded with An Lushan rebels, and now they are desperate for their lives to rush the siege of Hedong City, and Ashina Congli, who is the party concerned, has disappeared, which is very hateful.

Pei Jing immediately stepped forward and said:

"Ashina slashed his sword from his body, and he was wounded in many places, and he is healing at the moment. ”

Huang Fu Ke was surprised:

"Ashina is willing to speculate, and he is willing to take the risk of being injured?"

In his opinion, Ashina had a good intention to speculate, and only needed to command Ruo Ding in the city, so why should he go out of the city in person to take risks? But after only muttering for a while, he understood again.

"It must be this son who is in a hurry to grab the credit, so he ended up in this end, which is really happy. ”

People in the world seek fame and fortune, and Ashina dares to take risks and go out of the city in person, which is nothing more than more courage than ordinary people. This bit of courage did not make Huang Fu Ke change his attitude towards Ashina's courtesy.

Qin Jin sneered:

"Let's go and visit this fierce general with a sword wound. ”

Previously, Huang Fu Ke had quite brave comments on Ashina Congli, but now in fact, Ashina Congli is indeed brave, but he is definitely not a good man and a woman.

Huang Fu Ke nodded in agreement, but suddenly suggested: "Why don't you take the opportunity to confiscate his military power?"

Ashina Congli had contact with Sun Xiaozhe, Qin Jin and Huangfu Ke both knew it through their respective channels, and unlike Qin Jin's restraint, Huangfu Ke suggested that Ashina Congli should be eliminated immediately.

"At this time, it is not advisable to act rashly, let's look at the specific situation first!"

After the battle of Hedong City, Ashina Congli offended Sun Xiaozhe to death, I am afraid that Sun Xiaozhe is already eager to peel his skin and cramp at this time, and break his bones and ashes.

The group entered Hedong City, and Ashina Congli was placed in a high-gate mansion. At a glance, it can be seen that this is not the official office in the city, and Qin Jin entered the main house of a courtyard under the guidance of the servant.

The candle flame in the room was dim, and the smell of medicine permeated it. Huangfu Ke couldn't help frowning, the army suffered heavy casualties, but Ashina was not in the army, but entered a private luxury mansion to recuperate, how could he be worthy of those souls who died in bloody battles?

But with Qin Jin in front, Huang Fu Ke would not attack on the spot even if he was dissatisfied, and followed Qin Jin around the screen, and saw a thin middle-aged man lying on the couch with his upper body exposed, his body was wrapped with white linen, and there were faint black and red blood stains on it.

Ashina closed his eyes from Lizheng**, and suddenly heard the voice, so he opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was Qin Jin and others, he weakly asked for forgiveness.

"In the end, there will be injuries in the body, inconvenience, inconvenience, and inconvenience, please forgive the king. ”

Qin Jin stepped forward and came to the couch, and saw that Ashina Congli's face was pale and his voice was weak, obviously injured and not false, so he comforted him with a few words.

"Take good care of your injuries, don't worry about the situation in Hedong City, the traitors have already retreated. ”

Ashina closed his eyes weakly, and suddenly broke away again.

"Envoy, there are spies in the army, definitely, must be caught immediately and sentenced to death!"

The emperor behind Qin Jin asked in surprise, "Who?

Having spies in the army is not a joke, and if you don't find out as soon as possible, you may even get into some big trouble.

"Yes, it's the general under the command of the last general, Cheng Twelve. ”

Cheng Twelve was the general who took advantage of Ashina's fall into the encirclement and closed the door, but when Qin Jin arrived with his army, he realized that his choice was wrong. This person originally planned to completely control Hedong City and fight the trapped beasts, and then send someone to contact Sun Xiaozhe to discuss surrender.

However, most of the soldiers in Hedong City did not agree to do this, and even without Cheng Twelve's consent, the guards of each gate opened the city gate without authorization to welcome ** into the city.

This small episode of change did not attract the attention of the ** who entered the city at first, and Cheng Twelve saw that the general trend had gone and he couldn't escape, so he had to get up. After Ashina returned to the city from Li, the first thing he did was to order someone to arrest Cheng Twelve, but he was soon rewarded, the main streets and city gates of Hedong City had been controlled by the people brought by Qin Jin, and no one was allowed to act without the warrant of Qin Envoy.

Although Ashina Congli did not accept his fate, because he was seriously injured, it was difficult to control the overall situation, so he had to lament for a long time. Now Qin Jin personally rushed to inspect the injury, and he comforted him with kind words, which made him feel great kindness, so he hoped that Qin Jin would come forward to find out this two-faced and three-faced villain.

Qin Jin attached great importance to the situation of the spies, so he carefully inquired about the reason for Cheng Twelve. This is difficult to help Ashina obey the courtesy, he ignored the pain, and intermittently said the cause and effect, although he added oil and vinegar, but the general cause was not bad.

Qin Jin also felt that Cheng Twelve and his people were indeed a great hidden danger, and if they didn't take precautions, they were likely to cause a big mess.

"Immediately send someone to bring Cheng Twelve here, and let General Ashina dispose of it. ”

Ashina changed color from the east to the east when he heard the words. He never expected that Qin Jin would trust him so much, and even take Cheng Twelve to his disposal.

"Make the ......"

Before he finished his sentence, he choked up. After the person was injured, his spirit was fragile, and the disadvantage of the situation was extended, and Ashina's previous unscrupulous thoughts were all forgotten at this time.

Huangfu Ke was silent, looking at Ashina's expression that was similar to acting.

Qin Jin comforted Ashina with a few more words, and then got up and left. He couldn't delay too much time here in Ashina, after the battle of Hedong City was over, there were still too many things waiting for him to deal with.

Ashina's injury was an accident for Qin Jin, and because of this, Qin Jin successfully and successfully controlled the gates and main streets of Hedong City, without causing conflicts with Hedong County in the city.

In the Tang Dynasty, whether it was the Shuofang Army, the Hedong Army, or even the Shenwu Army, they all had a strong xenophobic mind. It was not easy for Qin Jin to easily move the sword soldiers against the enemy, but after the first battle, the Hedong army in the city was already frightened, plus Ashina Congli himself was seriously injured, and Cheng Twelve caused a farce. When the men and horses brought by Qin Jin took over Hedong City, they had no intention and were powerless to stop it.

The first thing to do when taking over Hedong City was to take stock of the treasury, and it was necessary to find out the city's grain reserves and armaments. If food and armaments are insufficient, they must be transferred from Feng Yijun immediately. The location of Hedong City is too important, and in terms of Guanzhong, it can be said that it is second only to Tongguan.

Therefore, this city must not be easily lost.

Taking control of Hedong City, on the one hand, cut off the rebels' communication arteries for attacking Guanzhong through Hedong, and on the other hand, it could prevent the rebels south of the Yellow River from crossing the Yellow River to the north and attack Hedong with the rebels in Hebei Province.

At present, Hedong Province is still in a situation where the Tang Dynasty and the Yan army are entangled in a tug-of-war.

Feng Changqing's military operations in Hedong Province and Hebei Province obviously had unexpected results, as evidenced by Shi Siming's fiasco in Hebei Province. If it weren't for Feng Changqing's containment in Hedong, Hebei, maybe Shi Siming would have led his army into Hedong a long time ago, and even if Hedong City had three heads and six arms, it would probably be difficult to resist Shi Siming's full blow, not to mention that there was Sun Xiaozhe who was eyeing him south of the Yellow River.

Sun Xiaozhe faced Gao Xianzhi, who could not hold out, in Tongguan, and did not have a good way to deal with it, so it was not surprising that he had the idea of taking Hedong City.

Qin Jin was arranged by Pei Jing to live temporarily in the county court of Hedong City, and the county order had been martyred when Hedong City changed hands, and the court had not sent a county order for a long time, so Hedong City was actually not managed by a magistrate.

After learning that the county order was martyred, Qin Jin specially recruited the county court officials to ask if the body of the county order had been found after the county order was martyred.

"Replying to the envoy's words, Hu Gou is vicious, and he is angry with the remains of the Ming Mansion, and a fire has already been burned! There are also the wives and children of the Ming Mansion......"

After Qin Jin heard this, he was silent for a while.

Since he came to the Tang Dynasty, he has not seen a few loyal and unyielding characters, Du Fu is counted as one, Chen Qianli can be counted as one, and now this Hedong County Order is also counted as one, but unfortunately he came late, he never saw it, and he had no chance to save him from the doom of a tragic death.

Although Qin Jin has a limited good impression of this kind of loyal and upright person, he can sacrifice his life for righteousness, and this courage and belief alone is enough to make him awe-inspired.

The martyrdom of the county order reminded Qin Jin that the soldiers and officials who sacrificed their lives for the country must not be dealt with hastily. In the Tang Dynasty, an era when the dead were the greatest, preferential treatment of the dead often had a more significant effect than preferential treatment of the living.

Thinking of this, Qin Jin immediately discussed with Pei Jing and Huangfu Ke:

"I plan to pay a grand tribute to the martyrs who died in battle, I wonder if you two have any suggestions?"

Qin Jin didn't understand the memorial procedures and conditions at this time, so he had to see what Huang Fu Ke and Pei Jing, two natives of the Tang Dynasty, could suggest. Pei Jing immediately high-fived and said yes, but Huang Fu Ke did not recommend this kind of wasteful big move, instead of spending all the money on face, it was better to increase the pension of the soldiers who died in battle.

Qin Jin saw that Huang Fu Ke objected, so he smiled and patiently explained: "Sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters, we treat the war dead so ceremoniously, how can the living not be moved?"

The news of the defeat of Hedong City was sent to Sun Xiaozhe's desk in the early morning of the next day, and he had not closed his eyes for two days and three nights.

Hearing about the defeat of Hedong City, Sun Xiaozhe was like five thunderbolts, and his plan was to retreat and turn from Tongguan to Hedong City. He suppressed his anger and was anxious to find out the damage of the men and horses sent to Hedong, half of whom were his elite descendants, if the losses were heavy

He didn't dare to imagine this.
