Qi Bihe selected two hundred and fifty people from the united army, and after giving a serious lecture, he said to Qin Jin: "These brothers are all dead soldiers who can be trusted, and they have all served in the army.

This is him showing Qin Jin that the one hundred and fifty people in front of him are all people who can entrust life and death, and they can say everything.

"It's in a hurry, it's definitely too late to rush to Shaanzhou on foot, how many of these people can ride horses?"

In the first battle of Xin'an, after annihilating the Tongluo tribe, four or five hundred excellent war horses were captured, which could come in handy at this moment.

After some selection, only one hundred and fifty people were finally selected.

"Brother Qibi, you stay, and after escorting the people through Lushi County, take the united soldiers to the north, cross the Bear's Ears Mountain, and rush to Xiashi County in the east of Shaanzhou, where we will meet. ”

Then he muttered, "Select three thousand Ding Zhuang to bring them with them, and the rest will be led by reliable people to escort the people to Shangluo." ”

It is not easy to kill Bian Lingcheng, needless to say in Tongguan, Qin Jin and his people can't get in at all, and the only place where they can start is the distance between Tongguan and Shaanzhou. Using this method to prevent the tragedy of Feng Gao and the others from happening again is actually a good strategy, but he has used all the means he can, and there is really no other way.

Although this may not change the Son of Heaven's determination to kill Feng Gao and the others, it can at least be exchanged for more than ten days or even a month. A month is enough time for a lot of things to happen, and the death of Bian Lingcheng will inevitably cause the Son of Heaven to be jealous of Gao Xianzhi, who is leading the troops, so it is very likely that he will change his original intention to be comforted by kind words.

In short, this is a method of fighting poison with poison, and the side effects are also very obvious. Even if everything is successfully implemented according to the plan, the Son of Heaven will never trust and reuse the two Feng Gao in his lifetime.

Zheng Xianli also had more than 20 Anxi veterans around him, and the selected 150 united soldiers added up to nearly 200 people, which was already a small cavalry of considerable scale.

In order to hide people's eyes, Qin Jin ordered all the cavalry to change into the clothes and armor captured from the Tongluo soldiers, and after the equipment was neatly assembled, it was a fierce and vicious army.

Qin and Jin separated from the Luoshui Yongji Bridge, a few dozen miles south of Xin'an, and he and Zheng Xianli planned to avoid the rebel-occupied Michi and enter Shaanzhou along the Sankun Mountains in the south. When passing through the missing gate more than 20 miles west of Xin'an, I saw groups of rebel rangers advancing in the direction of Xin'an.

Fortunately, they are also dressed as a soldier, and they met several times along the way, but they didn't show any flaws.

"There are more and more rangers in the Fan army, and the road can't be walked!"

Zheng Xianli was preoccupied and suggested to Qin Jin. In this regard, Qin Jin thought so, if he encountered a large number of Fan troops, revealing flaws, and he couldn't run away, it would be sad. At the same time, he was also glad that he was able to get out of Xin'an in time, otherwise under the attack of the rebels, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream to hold on to Xin'an.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Sankun Mountain, it snowed heavily, Qin Jin looked up at the dark and heavy sky, and was worried, if he missed the time because of the heavy snow, was it God who was against them.

When it was dark, Zheng Xianli's men captured two rebel rangers, and under torture, they obtained some basic movements of the rebels.

Tens of thousands of people marched west to force the Xiashi of Shaanzhou, and divided the partial divisions to attack Xin'an in the east and Yongning to the south.

The rhythm of An Lushan's rebels' march was beyond Qin and Jin's expectations, and Cui Qianyou's use of troops was obviously higher than Sun Xiaozhe's.

Although Sun Xiaozhe is not a fool, his focus is only on one city and one place, compared with Cui Qianyou is much more clever, detouring to the north of the Yellow River and then south to the frozen Yellow River, after attacking Michi, to the west to threaten Shaanzhou, to the east can easily take Xin'an. It was easy to break the trouble he had caused for the An Lushan rebels to advance westward in Xin'an with the unity soldiers.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be drenched in cold sweat, and he didn't know if he was lucky or blessed by God, after evacuating Xin'an, Qin Jin was still a little entangled at first, but at the moment, it seems that he was fortunate to go, otherwise he couldn't see the second possibility except for the ending of fighting for a city and destroying people.

Winding west along the edge of the woodland, the snow is getting heavier.

A cavalryman who was familiar with the terrain said: "Shaofu Jun, the snow is getting bigger and bigger, if you continue to walk, you won't be able to get out of Sankun Mountain even if you go for three days and three nights." ”

"But there's another way out?" Qin Jin asked.

"According to the knowledge of the next walk, over the south of the Sankun Mountain, there is a five-river stream, there is a mountain beam blocking the north wind and there is little snow, walk along the five-river stream overnight, you can get to the river, after that, all the way straight to Hongnong, our army is one person and two horses, non-stop, you can arrive at Tongguan in half a day. ”

Someone complained: "If there is a shortcut, it will save us from taking the wrong road!"

The cavalry replied: "Actually, taking this post road is the fastest, I didn't expect the rebels to come so quickly, and they rushed in all directions after occupying the pond!"

In any case, there is a shortcut to Tongguan, so you won't get wrong.

It took them nearly two hours to climb over the ridge of the mountain in the face of the wind and snow, and when they reached the southern slope, the snow stopped. In other words, the heavy snow is confined to the northern slopes.

Although the mountain stream is tight and narrow, it is much stronger than the snow-covered road, so I walked straight for half the night, and the sky was about to brighten, and the front suddenly opened up.

Suddenly, the horses' hooves rang out, and everyone looked out into the bright sky, which was a dry riverbed of unknown youth, and the withered grass was overgrown in the middle of nowhere, and a few miles away there was a fire flickering in the middle of the darkness and the half of the light. In the faint light of the fire, there were moving human heads and figures, and the scale was about 100 or so.

Qin Jin suddenly became alert, and the unity soldiers exclaimed in a low voice, Zheng Xianli and his more than 20 subordinates were all experienced in a hundred battles, and they were much stronger than the cavalry temporarily selected from the unity soldiers.

The cavalry team of hundreds of people was not quiet, and the group of people in the distance did not know who they were or did, and they were immediately discovered, and in a few moments, three war horses galloped over.

The rider shouted, "Who's coming?"

When he saw the armor of the Northern Army on Qin Jin and the others, his vigilance decreased slightly, but he still had a vigilant demeanor.

At the same time, Qin Jin also saw clearly that the armor of the Northern Army on those people was the An Lushan rebels! His heart sank, and he secretly screamed badly, and an ominous premonition immediately surged up.

"We are General Sun's subordinates, and we were ambushed when attacking Xin'an a few days ago and scattered!" This was a statement prepared early in the morning, and immediately a united soldier stepped forward to reply.

Sun Xiaozhe and others did not have a high status in the Tang Dynasty before An Lushan rebelled, and they were only six or seven military generals, and it was already a full compliment to call a general.

The people who came to hear Qin Jin and them claiming to be Sun Xiaozhe's subordinates seemed to be relieved, but when they spoke again, there was already a little disdain in their tone.

"It turned out to be General Sun Zhen's subordinates, please follow me back to the front army in a while, the doctor has an order, and all the troops obey General Cui's orders!"

Looking at the appearance and accent, these rebels are also Han Chinese, and they chattered impatiently, they had gathered a lot of soldiers from the Tongluo tribe on the Mianchi Road before, and they didn't expect to meet the scattered 'Lady Son' tribes here.

In his words, he mentioned from time to time that "the woman and the son" had no respect for Sun Xiaozhe.

Qin Jinyu immediately arched his hand and asked, "I don't know that General Cui in his mouth is a superior and a subordinate You?"

The rebel cavalry nodded yes, with an impatient posture of who else could but him.

"Hurry up, hurry up, General Cui has an order, and you have to catch up as soon as it is dawn. ”

The sky in the east was already white, and seeing that it was about to dawn, Qin Jin pondered the words from the mouths of the rebel cavalry, trying to analyze some useful information from them.

Under the guidance of the rebel cavalry, Qin Jin and his party came to the open ground, but saw that the rebel soldiers by the fire had all mounted their horses, about forty or fifty people. One of the leader-like cavalrymen looked at Qin Jin's men with two horses in one hand, and their eyes showed a light of jealousy and greed.

"The people under the command of the 'Lady of the Witch' are so arrogant, they can have two horses for one person, but unfortunately they are all cowards and soft eggs in the war!

The horses of the Tongluo Department are all good war horses that have been raised enough after the autumn, and the cavalry can see it at a glance.

Qin Jin secretly held back a breath in his chest and asked, "I don't know where I'm going?" The leader still spoke in a sneer tone, "I might as well tell you directly, General Cui is going to surprise Hongnong today and cut off Gaolinu's back road!"

The Gao Linu in the leader's mouth refers to the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, Gao Xianzhi, the imperial historian.

Qin Jin also came to the Tang Dynasty to know that the Fan Hu soldiers in the Tang army were also divided into 369 and so on, among which the Turks and Tiele people and other grassland tribes had the highest status, especially after the Turks were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, the Tiele people gradually replaced their position in the Mobei grassland, and now the one who dominates the grassland is from the Hui Department of Tiele.

The status is slightly inferior to the Hu people of the Western Regions, such as the Zhaowu nine surnames from the Hezhong area. An Lushan's biological father was a Zahu in the Western Regions, and Ge Shuhan, who had always been on discord with him, was born in a Turkic aristocracy, so he once ridiculed him.

The lowest status were the Khitans and Goryeo people from the mountains of Liaodong, who had always been despised in the Tang army, so they would choose to exchange their military merits for a Han surname given by the imperial court to get rid of this embarrassing and humble status. Among the surnames given by the imperial court, especially the surname Li of the Tang Dynasty royal family, is the most noble, and in order to show loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, it is usually changed to a name such as Jin Zhong and Quanzhong.

Sun Xiaozhe is a Khitan, and he is in a high position with Xingjinxi, so he is naturally even more despised.

With these reasons, there were many people in the Tang army who contemptuously called Gao Xianzhi a Gao Linu. It's just that with Gao Xianzhi's military achievements increasing and his status getting higher and higher, there are fewer and fewer people who are qualified and brave to dare to call him so.

When he learned that Cui Qianyou was going to repeat his old trick and attack Hongnong, Qin Jin couldn't help but feel a tingle in his scalp.
