Chapter 333: The thief has evil thoughts

Qin Jin's plan is very simple, since Ge Shuhan's killing of Wei Boyu has become a fait accompli, then he has to look forward, once Yang Guozhong is likely to use the strategy of borrowing a knife to kill, then he must persuade Ge Shuhan not to go out of Tongguan to fight with An Lushan's rebels no matter what. Otherwise, the tragedy of the original history will be unavoidable.

Although Ge Shuhan was brave, he once shook the right Hexi of Longyou. But after all, the opponent was a Tubo, and his subordinates were all elite soldiers and strong generals. On the other hand, now, his command is full of newly recruited raw melon eggs, and there are many contradictions with each other, how can it be a rebel opponent from Youzhou?

Among the border counties of the Tang Dynasty, Youzhou, Hexi, Longyou and Anxi had the most wars. Especially the battles in the Youzhou area, both in terms of frequency and fierce fighting intensity, are the highest. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty border army in Youzhou, Lulong and other places had the strongest combat effectiveness.

At present, the balance of strength is obviously extremely unbalanced, and the Tang Dynasty has been empty for a long time, and after a series of fiascos last year, morale has fallen to the bottom. Even if all the border troops in the west of the Longyou River were sent to Tongguan to fight with the rebels in the field, I believe that they would lose more and win less.

What's more, the defenders of Tongguan are all recruits who have hardly experienced the battle formation, so let Ge Shuhan lead such a group of ** to fight the rebels in the field, wouldn't it be a stone with an egg?

"When I come here, I just want to tell the old minister, no matter what, even if the Son of Heaven is forced to write to him, don't go out of the field battle!"

Qin Jin's words seemed to be extremely difficult. Ge Shuhan's expression had returned to normal, and his joy and anger could not be seen only on the surface.

"The old man knows, you came to Tongguan overnight, just to send a letter to warn?"

Qin Jin nodded heavily.

"Okay, you are a favor, the old man has received it. Tongguan is a place of right and wrong, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, take advantage of no one to pay attention, hurry back to Feng Yi!"

Ge Shuhan urged Qin Jin to leave for Feng Yi immediately, worrying that it was not superfluous, once the matter of Qin Jin Daotong Pass was revealed, it would inevitably bring trouble to the two of them that would be difficult to get rid of. The two high-ranking officials who held the power of soldiers and horses met and conspired without the edict of the Son of Heaven, and it was really indisputable when it was passed out.

Don't look at Ge Shuhan doesn't care about Yang Guozhong, but he cares about this kind of terrifying words. Once the Son of Heaven also believes this kind of rumor that is enough to accumulate and destroy the bones, it will be very passive for him.

Qin Jin stomped his feet anxiously, did he venture to Tongguan just for the favor of Lao Shizi? To put it mildly, Ge Shuhan's favor may be more important than Mount Tai in the eyes of the people of the world, but it is worthless in the eyes of Qin Jin.

"Old Xianggong, Qin Jin took the risk to come, I just ask the old Xianggong to withstand the pressure no matter what, and he must not fight, otherwise Datang will be in danger!"

Unexpectedly, Ge Shuhan laughed.

"Qin Jin, you also take the old man too seriously, don't you? When you were in Chang'an, did you think you didn't look down on the old man?"

Ge Shuhan's feelings were really keen, and Qin Jin really didn't pay enough attention to Ge Shuhan. However, it is because he has a memory that the world does not know, and anyone in his eyes is just a symbol in a book except for the power in his hands.

It's just that at this juncture, Ge Shuhan actually has the heart to laugh, this is of course due to this person's character, maybe the fundamental reason is that he didn't realize it at all, maybe a catastrophe is coming.

"Old man, please allow me to go down and make a hypothetical. If, if the Son of Heaven issued an edict to order the old prime minister to go out to meet the thief, would the old prime minister receive the order?"

Although he knew what kind of virtue the soldiers under his command were, Qin Jin kept saying that he dissuaded him from going into battle, as if he would be defeated as soon as he got out of the pass. This contempt made Ge Shuhan a little displeased.

"The matter of the king of food and loyalty, the Son of Heaven has an order, and he should dare to obey!"

Qin Jin stomped his foot again.

"If you send troops, you will fall for Yang Guozhong's tricks, can't the old minister see it? Only if you can't hold on to it, can you hold Tongguan!"

The more he talked, the more eager he became, Qin Jin had a rare gaffe, and in the end, he got an ambiguous promise from Ge Shuhan.

"Go back quickly, the old man will write it down!"

On the way back to Feng Yijun, Qin Jin was in a state of confusion, Ge Shuhan may have said a lot of miscellaneous words in front of him out of pride and self-esteem, Ge Shuhan must know that the ** in Tongguan are all newly recruited good sons and market gangsters, it is not easy for such an army to suppress bandits, and they are panicked to face the battle-hardened rebels?

But he finally brought the words that he had to bring, and Ge Shuhan also attached great importance to going out of the city to meet him in person, which showed from the side that although Ge Shuhan was domineering, he was by no means a brave and unscrupulous person.

Lu Qi once expressed his disapproval of the idea that Qin and Jin almost crossed the line of their own affairs, Ge Shuhan has been the envoy of the Hexi Longyou Festival for many years, and led the border troops of the two places in Hexi and Longyou to fight the Tubo people who were terrified, so many years of war experience is not in vain, it is refined in countless baptisms of blood and fire.

The first thing he did when he returned to Tongzhou City, Qin Jin recruited Chen Qianli, who was idle in the "River Worker Camp", back.

"Brother Chen, I plan to expand the Shenwu Army, and you are the main general!"

After hearing this, Chen Qianli was stunned for a long time and didn't say a word.

It wasn't until Qin Jin repeated what he had just said again that Chen Qianli asked in disbelief:

"I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Of course it's not a dream, we don't have much time, we must seize all the time to maximize the combat effectiveness of all armies!"

In fact, if there was half a year, Qin Jin would be able to completely digest and absorb the 10,000 people of the Long Wu Army, but the current situation did not leave him enough time at all. Accidents can happen at any time, although they may not happen, but Qin Jin can't help but prepare for the worst.

If the Longwu Army is dispersed at this time, then this man and horse will be completely abolished, and the old soldiers of the Longwu Army who have been dispersed to various armies will inevitably be dissatisfied, and may even affect the combat effectiveness of the Shenwu Army. Therefore, on the way back, Qin Jin still decided to take a risk and exchange Chen Qianli's comeback for a man with good combat ability.

After the joy, Chen Qianli calmed down again, insisted on not accepting the post of the chief general of the Longwu Army, and only asked to still participate in the general affairs of the army as a long history.

"Brother Chen, I am by no means polite. Let's tell the truth, the imperial court may force Ge Shuhan to go out of Tongguan to meet the thieves. ”

Chen Qianli's reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately asked:

"Could it be that the king has concluded that Ge Shuhan will be defeated as long as he goes out to fight?"

Qin Jin nodded with difficulty.

"Hopefully, none of these assumptions will come true, but we have to prepare for the worst. I have only one request, Brother Chen must think twice twice when making any decision...... Stop being reckless and impulsive. ”

Qin Jin simply attributed Chen Qianli's previous demolition to reckless impulsiveness, that is, to tell him that he was not to blame for the past, and they would still be good brothers in the future.

At this point, Chen Qianli was also very moved, he always thought that Qin Jin had changed, and he was eager for quick success in the big dye vat of Chang'an officialdom, but he never expected that he still had the Tang Dynasty in his heart. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to reactivate himself regardless of his previous suspicions, and he would also expand the Dragon Martial Army.

Chen Qianli immediately said, "Qianli promises that he will never dismantle the envoy's platform again!"

About three days later, Du Qianyun returned to Fengyi County from Chang'an and brought another important news to Qin Jin.

Ge Shuhan wrote to the Son of Heaven, asking for the reinforcement of the city defense, and made it clear that the combat strength of the Tongguan garrison was low, and asked the Son of Heaven to promise him no matter what, under any circumstances, not to force the Tongguan army to fight against the thieves. Otherwise, the consequences may be unimaginable!"

This was greatly unexpected by Qin Jin, Ge Shuhan did not wait passively, but took the initiative with his usual style and asked the Son of Heaven for a guarantee.

"How did the Son of Heaven reply?"

Hearing Qin Jin's question, Du Qianyun was quite proud and replied:

"When He left Chang'an, the edict of the Son of Heaven was sent to Menxia Province, but the gold fed to Wei Fangjin was not white. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom, "This is a copy of the edict of the Son of Heaven. ”

The letter was sealed with fire paint, and Qin Jin weighed it in his hand after the result of the letter, and just as he was about to ask a question, Du Qianyun hurriedly said:

The content of the letter was known from other sources, and the Son of Heaven agreed to Ge Shuhan, and also praised him greatly, not only did not investigate the crime of killing Wei Boyu without permission, but even officially allocated Wei Boyu's new army to him. ”

Qin Jin unfolded the letter, as Du Qianyun said.

……

"Sage, the minister thinks that the Shenwu Army is not good for Feng Yi to suppress thieves, so he should urge him!"

The Son of Heaven is in the palace, and there are only three prime ministers in the seat: Gao Xianzhi, Yang Guozhong, and Wei Fangjin.

It was Yang Guozhong who spoke, Qin Jin had taken the Shenwu army to Feng Yi for more than a month, and now there has been no advance except for the burning of a small city, and Huangfu Ke is still swaggering to occupy Pujin Pass.

Regarding Yang Guozhong's words, the Son of Heaven did not rush to express his position, but glanced at Gao Xianzhi and Wei Fangjin intentionally or unintentionally, obviously wanting to hear the opinions of these two prime ministers again.

"Qiyu sage, Huangfu Ke is old and cunning, and his command is the battle-hardened Shuofang army, and the Shenwu army can relieve the siege of Tongzhou and besiege the rebels in Pujin Pass, which is really rare. If it is too harsh, I wonder who will replace it?"

Wei Fangjin was a little unusual, unceremoniously took over Yang Guozhong's words, and fully exposed the obscure meaning in his words in front of the monarchs and ministers.

It is nothing more than a personal grudge that is difficult to solve, hoping to use the hand of the Son of Heaven to punish Qin Jin. However, the most weighty sentence in Wei Fangjin's words directly blocked Yang Guozhong back, if Qin Jin is to be held responsible, then who else can replace him to suppress the thief?

The answer is obvious, at present, above the imperial court, except for Qin Jin, it can be said that no one can fight against Huangfu Ke's army in Feng Yijun. The Son of Heaven will not fail to understand this truth!
