Bai Xiaode's death did not set off much of a storm in Chang'an officialdom, Qin Jin found Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan early the next morning and told him to investigate thoroughly, no matter what resistance there was to find out the mastermind behind the murder, but the result could not be announced to the public. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Cui Guangyuan understood in his heart, he had been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally knew the plans of this young imperial doctor, and said that he would deal with the matter properly, but he was still a little worried.

"If the Son of Heaven asks, how should the subordinates answer?"

The subtext is that he doesn't dare to bully the king, since Chen Xilie's suicide attempt, he can be regarded as seeing through, when today's son is not as sharp as the emperor, but he is by no means a person who can be easily fooled, if he deceives the king, if it is exposed, the end will not be better than Chen Xilie.

Qin Jin smiled and said:

"How can Da Yin be blinded? With the wisdom of the Son of Heaven, how can he not guess who killed Bai Xiaode!"

Cui Guangyuan was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said:

"What does the doctor mean, the Son of Heaven already knows who the murderer is?"

Qin Jin Dao:

If the Son of Heaven wants to deal with this person, there are a lot of reasons and incriminating evidence, so why wait for Da Yin to find out the evidence of the murder?"

In fact, Cui Guangyuan was also in the game, and if he cared about it, he was chaotic, and after Qin Jin's reminder, he immediately realized the crux of the problem. But he instinctively felt anger rise again, and slammed his fist on the desk.

"Such selfishness is not the work of the Lord!"

This venting made Qin Jin have a new understanding of Cui Guangyuan, don't look at this person's usual attitude towards those important ministers, but in fact, he is quite worried about the country and the people, and his venting is also about Li Heng's very unqualified place as the Son of Heaven.

The experience of the prince who has been suppressed for many years has made this person develop a cautious attitude in employing people, and it is logical to appoint private individuals. Those who are trusted will not be punished easily, and even if those who are not trusted are entrusted with high-ranking positions, they will not be treated as private individuals, but if they make mistakes, they will be dealt with with ironcladly. Prime Minister Chen Xilie and his person are typical of the latter, although he plotted against Li Mi and Li Fuguo, but he ended up with a completely different fate from Er Li.

Fortunately, Qin Jin belongs to the former, and as a person trusted by Li Heng, he at least has enough room to show his strengths. In fact, Qin Jin has considered the issue of self-reliance more than once, and seeing that the troubled times are coming, if he is self-reliant, he may not be able to create a world of his own. But after weighing the pros and cons, he dispelled the idea of self-reliance in the territory, and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty still existed, after all, in the year before the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was still in its prime, and its prestige was in full swing.

Prior to this, there were two roads in front of Qin and Jin, one was to stand on his own feet like Yuan Shao in the late Han Dynasty, and the other was to serve Cao Cao in Xiaofang as the Son of Heaven to order him not to be subordinate. The former will not be constrained, while the latter will be able to gather all the wise men who are loyal to the court for their own use. Under the pros and cons, Qin Jin finally chose to be constrained rather than be the local grass king.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty was not the Han Dynasty of the year, and the Li Tang royal family still had absolute popularity and power base, and it was almost impossible to use Li Heng as a puppet.

The westward flight of Emperor Li Longji is not so much the collapse of the power center of the Tang Dynasty as a reshuffle. Qin Jin touched a lot of good cards in advance, so he naturally wanted to use the good cards to the extreme, and occupy as many benefits as possible in this power shuffle.

Although Li Fuguo was notorious in history for his inferior character, Qin Jin didn't mind cooperating with this person who frequently courted him at this time.

In the current situation, Chen Xilie has fallen, and Li Mi has also clamped his tail, which can limit Qin Jin's power and languishe, with Li Fuguo's network base in the inner court, Qin Jin can of course let go without scruples.

"The cooperation between the doctor and the eunuch is equivalent to seeking skin with the tiger, in case this guy turns his face and bites, wouldn't it be ......"

Qin Jin smiled:

"With the evidence in hand, where did the fear come from? Although the Son of Heaven appoints a private person, he does not dare to hide the mouths of the people!"

Cui Guangyuan was shocked, this kind of entanglement between the enemy and me, you have me, I have you is really frightening and tiring.

"Li Fuguo has always wanted to put Guo Ziyi to death, and today he can exchange this. ”

This sentence reminded Cui Guangyuan, and he hurriedly said:

"If the doctor wants to save Guo Ziyi, he must be fast. If it's too late, Guo Ziyi may have to follow in the footsteps of Bai Xiaode. ”

Guo Ziyi was not imprisoned in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, but has been imprisoned in the prison of the Imperial City Guards, Li Fuguo's identity as an official and prisoner, and the dispatch of the military, can justifiably meddle in the affairs of the Imperial City Forbidden Army, and it is easy to kill a person in the prison.

However, Cui Guangyuan still didn't understand why Qin Jin valued Guo Ziyi of Yang Guozhong's party so much, did he really have any outstanding ability?

Of course, Qin Jin attaches great importance to Guo Ziyi, not to mention the impression in the historical records, just by virtue of the three days when he left Chang'an, Guo Ziyi was able to control the Shenwu Army and the private unity army with no foundation, and there was no chaos, and his human ability is enough to get a glimpse.

……

At noon, Sun Xiaozhe inspected the battalions in full armor, and yesterday's siege was completed, but at the last moment, thousands of corpses were left behind.

For this reason, Sun Xiaozhe was so angry and annoyed that he didn't sleep all night. In the cold winter, the land was frozen harder than iron, and tried and tested siege tactics such as digging and irrigating the city were useless, and the harsh conditions also brought many negative conditions to the siege.

Sun Xiaozhe was even thinking that if the siege took place in the middle of summer, maybe Chang'an would have fallen under the siege of various means.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, if it hadn't been for the failure yesterday, you and I would have bathed in the city today!"

In the end, Sun Xiaozhe couldn't help but regret again and again.

"Dashuai doesn't have to worry about worrying and sorrowful, it's a big deal to be trapped until the spring of next year, when the city is green and yellow, and the food is unsustainable, we can easily enter the city!"

Zhang Tongru comforted him, but Sun Xiaozhe did not appreciate it.

"Confused, let's wait, the King of Jin in Luoyang City can't afford to wait. Without this merit in conquering Chang'an, what would he do to compete with that little boy?"

King Jin refers to An Qingxu, An Lushan intends to set up the young son of the Duan clan as the crown prince, and Shi Siming has a lot of disagreements with An Qingxu, if there is not enough credit, it is really hard to say who the crown prince will be.

Sun Xiaozhe was trapped outside Tongguan for nearly a year, he didn't want to be trapped for another year and a half after the army came to Chang'an City, he reminded himself more than once that he must completely capture Chang'an within three months, that is, before the New Year's Pass.

While talking to Zhang Tongru, Sun Xiaozhe had a flash of inspiration in front of him, and suddenly thought of an extremely important part of Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army.

That is Feng Yijun.

Qin Jin once served as the Taishou of Feng Yi County, Feng Yi County, as one of the three auxiliaries, is second to none in Guanzhong and even in the world's counties, and it is close to Hedong to the east and Shuofang to the northwest, which is an extremely important strategic location. Previously, his eyes only fell on Chang'an City, and it was not until he was repeatedly frustrated that he suddenly realized that there was more than one Chang'an City in Guanzhong. As the birthplace of the Shenwu Army, as a hub connecting Guanzhong and Hedong, Feng Yijun is obviously an extremely valuable target.

As soon as he thought of this, Sun Xiaozhe laughed heartily.

"Qin Jin, Qin Jin, since the turtle is shrinking in Chang'an City as a turtle with a shrunken head, don't blame Ben Shuai for copying your hometown and cutting off your back road!"

"Does the marshal have a plan to break the city?"

Zhang Tongru saw Sun Xiaozhe laughing like this in front of him more than once, and each time he had a plan, and then won a big victory.

"From tomorrow onwards, only a feint attack on Chang'an, you lead a group of men and horses to attack Feng Yijun. The primary target is Tongzhou City, and the secondary goal is Pujin Pass. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Tongru's spirit was shocked, and he had another opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Let's go, go back to the Chinese army!"

Back in the Chinese army, Sun Xiaozhe lay in front of the map of Guanzhong, studied carefully for a long time, not only set a plan to send troops to Feng Yi, but also Fufeng County was also listed as the target of sweeping and attacking.

Early the next morning, the sweep officially began, west of Chang'an is the place where Li Longji fled westward, which caused a great shock to the local government, most of the county officials along the way fled, and those who stayed to see the Yan army surrendered immediately as soon as they arrived, so in less than a day's effort, most of Fufeng County actually changed its flag, from Tang Dynasty county to Dayan county.

The Yan army then entered Huangyang County in one go, and for a while, it was like a bamboo, and it had a great posture of approaching the west of the Longyou River.

During this period, Sun Xiaozhe got another rather strange news.

An unidentified Tang army, numbering about five or six thousand, came from the land west of the river, and the military discipline was excellent, and there were no crimes along the way.

Many of the local surrendering officials had seen the army with their own eyes, and all described it in a very similar way that it did not seem to be a fake.

However, after this news was sent to Sun Xiaozhe's desk, he couldn't help but have some doubts: If there were really five or six thousand elite Tang Army troops coming from Hexi, why had no trace of this group of men and horses been found? Or was this group of people and the Fugu Huaien Department originally the same group?

For this reason, Sun Xiaozhe specially interrogated the captives of the Fugu Department in person, but the result was that the Fugu Department marched from the north to the south from Lingwu, passing through Yanzhou, Gyeongju, Ningzhou and other places, and launched a big battle in Wugong and was defeated. This is obviously different from the path of the mysterious centaurs.

Sun Xiaozhe circled Fufeng, Huangyang and other places one by one on the map, and the path finally pointed to Huangshui.

This made Sun Xiaozhe's brows jump suddenly, Huangshui is obviously not the source of this mysterious team, from Huangshui to the north through Helan Mountain, Biandukou is the seat of Hexi Jiedu envoy Liangzhou.

Could it be that this mysterious team of centaurs is from Hexi?

For a while, Sun Xiaozhe was very interested, he didn't think that five or six thousand people could pose a threat to the 200,000 people besieging Chang'an, but he just wanted to know which famous general could make five or six thousand men and horses hide their whereabouts under his nose.
