The movement of the Tubo army was very fast, and it only took less than a day to enter the boundary of Fengyi County, and Du Fu, the county guard, had already been facing the enemy, and it was not surprising that the Tibetan thieves would attack at this time. At this time, the soldiers and civilians of Feng Yijun were no longer as unprepared as Sun Xiaozhe had when he came to attack three years ago. As early as the beginning of the fall of Chang'an, the county guard government had incorporated all the registered and non-registered people in Feng Yi's territory into the private sector, and only by integrating into the private sector could they best play their role.

Sima Xue Jingxian of the county guard office in the past year because of his outstanding performance, has been reused by the Taishou Du Fu, this time he is specifically responsible for the coordination between the private sector and the county guard, although it seems to be an errand with no real power, but it is Du Fu attaches great importance to it, if there is a problem in the coordination between the upper and lower parties, it is likely to cause a delay in major military aircraft. The delay of military aircraft often means the loss of human life, which Du Fu cannot bear.

Although Xue Jingxian's reputation was not very good, he once bribed Mrs. Qiu Guo with a large amount of gold and silver to be able to become an official in Feng Yijun. But since Du Fu was appointed as the Taishou of Feng Yijun, he also has a lot of Qin and Jin styles in the style of employing people, that is, employing people on the basis of merit rather than morality, as long as the people used have completed the assigned errands well during their tenure and have not made any big mistakes, they are worth reusing.

On the contrary, those officials who had a great reputation in the local area, but had no practical talents, Du Fu did not kill them with a rod like Qin Jin, and he was also entrusted with important positions, but they were not allowed to participate or rarely participated in real government.

In this way, it can not only effectively promote local government affairs, but also encircle the local heroes, so that these people will not be separated from the county guard.

Xue Jingxian has always groveled in front of Du Fu, Du Fu is very unaccustomed to it, and he has reminded him a few times, but he is still more humble every time he enters, and he doesn't even dare to raise his head easily. Over time, Du Fu let it go, anyway, these false courtesies will not affect government affairs, he is willing to do so.

"Today, Doctor Qin has sent a Jun order, so that we can prepare to retreat north at any time, the Tubo people are coming very fiercely, I am afraid that we will have to avoid their edge for the time being, what is the situation of the private enterprises in various places?"

"According to the envoy's orders, the south of Beiluoshui and the north bank of Weishui have been fortified and cleared, if the Tibetan thieves come to attack on a large scale, they will not get half a grain of rice!"

As he spoke, Xue Jingxian raised his head slightly seemingly unintentionally, and his eyes showed a little disapproval. Today's Du Fu is no longer the Du Fu who diligently sought official positions and ran into walls everywhere three years ago, and he immediately noticed Xue Jingxian's psychological fluctuations.

"How?

Xue Jingxian's attitude was still very humble.

"The subordinates are foolish, not worth mentioning!"

"It doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

Du Fu's tone was very gentle, encouraging the capable subordinates in front of him.

After hesitating for a while, Xue Jingxian gritted his teeth and said:

"Feng Yi withered after the scourge of Sun Xiaozhe's traitors, after a few years of recuperation, he has just improved, and the city wall of Tongzhou City was also repaired last year, and now he will give up, isn't it a pity?"

Du Fu smiled softly, stroked the desk with his hand, and looked at Xue Jingxian with interest.

"The construction of this county consumes all the people's fat and people's ointment, and I know that cherishing the original intention is good, but it is inevitably a bit of putting the cart before the horse!"

"Put the cart before the horse?"

Xue Jingxian was puzzled by Du Fu's statement, and secretly wondered, hasn't cherishing the people's fat and people's ointment always been emphasized by the king?

"The subordinates are stupid, please make you confused!"

"Since the people are the foundation, the property loss can be recovered in three or two years, if the population is lost, how can it be restored without twenty or thirty years of work?"

Although everyone knows the truth that the people are precious, most of them only pay attention to land endowment, and the main body that can produce wealth is also the common people, but they do not pay much attention to it. To put it bluntly, the vast majority of people only pay attention to the immediate benefits, as long as they can increase the chips for promotion and promotion, they are useful, and those laborious and thankless things are naturally rarely taken to heart.

Xue Jingxian was an extremely smart person, Du Fu only needed to say it superficially, and he immediately understood, and at the same time sighed secretly. If a practical official like Du Yuanjun is placed in the Tianbao period, I am afraid that he will never have a bright day, and only an immortal big man like Dr. Qin will be so reused. He also has a spectrum in his heart, no matter when he is an official, he is absolutely indispensable to be a backer, otherwise even if he is talented, he will be 100% unlucky.

Just as Du Yuanjun's backer is Doctor Qin, who holds half of the world, in Xue Jingxian's view, Qin Jin is now in a thriving stage, and he has the atmosphere of King Wu of Wei back then, if he doesn't seize the opportunity before he gets up, it will be too late when everything settles.

However, Xue Jingxian was a small person after all, and he didn't have the opportunity to contact Qin Jin, so hugging Du Fu's thigh became the only choice. At first, he thought that this Du Yuanjun was just a nerd with a tendon in his brain, so confused, but after contact, he found that it was completely different from what he thought. Because Du Fu is a person who wants to do something practical, it can't be done through simple party attachment or flattery.

Therefore, over the years, he has also worked hard to coordinate the outstanding between the private sector and the county guard, and there is a momentum that no one can replace. Even he himself couldn't help but sigh, before being an official, he only wanted to make money, and quickly returned the money that caught the money and ordered the history of the seal, but fortunately, the Sun thief invaded the Guanzhong, and the history of the money was also killed without a place to be buried, and a catastrophe relieved him.

If three years ago, Xue Jingxian would not have dared to imagine that he would be where he is today. Secretly sighed for a while, he didn't dare to lose his mind more, after all, in front of Du Yuanjun, he might make a mistake.

"What the king taught me is that the subordinates should remember it in their hearts!"

Du Fu, who was still talking and laughing freely, suddenly had a cloud on his face, and sighed worriedly.

"After the defeat of the Sun thief, Doctor Qin once told Du to manage Feng Yi well, and today he personally ordered to give up, it must be that the situation has changed again, otherwise with the strength of Tongguan and Feng Yi's Shenwu army, even if it is difficult to recover Chang'an, it should be more than enough to block the eastward advance of the Tubo people's soldiers and horses, right?"

In fact, this is also where Xue Jingxian doubts, the current Shenwu Army is an invincible divine soldier in the hearts of the vast majority of people, and now the soldiers are stronger than three years ago, how can they give up Feng Yi as they did three years ago?

"What does the envoy mean, has there been a change in Hebei?"

Du Fu didn't answer, only nodded slightly.

……

Qin Jin had received an urgent report from Lu Qi and Yang Xingben at the same time a day ago, and they both found out through their own channels that Shi Siming and the Tubo people were secretly in contact. This is a danger signal, don't look at the rebels being driven out of Dugi Province, but Hebei is not called in vain for half of the world, Fan Yang has hoarded a large amount of grain, grass and weapons and armor, and Shi Siming has not lost men and horses, as long as he wants, he may replace An Qingxu at any time, usurp the so-called Great Yan throne, and ascend the throne as emperor.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Jin is reluctant to act rashly at the moment, if he is locked in a fierce battle with the Tubo people, in case Shi Siming really stabs a knife in the back, he will be unable to withdraw.

When Qin Jin and Pei Jing discussed this matter, Pei Jing's suggestion was roughly the same as his idea, it was better to use An Qingxu, who was still breathing, to contain Shi Siming first, at least as long as An Qingxu was not destroyed, Shi Siming would not choose to fight the Shenwu army with the Tubo people.

"Doctor, why don't you let go of your hands and feet a little more, so that An Qingxu can grow stronger. ”

"Oh?"

Qin Jin looked at Pei Jing with interest, this person had always been known for his steadiness, and he was quite interested in his suggestions.

"The doctor just stopped moving forward before, deliberately giving An Qingxu a chance to breathe, if it was before Chang'an fell, it would have worked. But now, the center of gravity of the Shenwu Army has shifted to the west, and before Chang'an is recovered, I am afraid that Hebei will no longer be able to take care of it, and the last general thinks that An Qingxu may not survive this winter!"

Such words reminded Qin Jin that he had almost forgotten An Qingxu, a rather important chess piece.

After thinking for a while, Qin Jin struck with both palms.

"Okay, let Lu Qi secretly contact him in his private name, An Qingxu must think that this is an opportunity, and he will not be suspicious. ”

At this point, as soon as the conversation changed, Qin Jin looked at Pei Jing again.

"Do you remember Tian Chenghe, that defeated subordinate of yours is now brewing a big surprise in Guanzhong!"

Pei Jing was stunned for a moment, he naturally remembered Tian Chenghei's person, it was this person who was the general of Tongguan at the beginning, and he joined the Shenwu Army after several twists and turns, and now he is leading the troops to attack and harass in Guanzhong.

"He only brought less than 3,000 people, at best, he can fight a sneak attack, what big surprise can he have?"

Qin Jin smiled mysteriously.

Tian Chengsi's actions are still top secret, and they have not been made public in the army, Tian Chengsi has controlled more than a dozen county towns north of Weishui with only more than 1,000 people, and he will jointly issue a document against the rebellion early tomorrow morning. ”

"Really?"

Pei Jing's face was inexplicable and incredulous, and he even suspected that it was the general who deceived Qin Jin, but then denied this idea. Because Qin Jin's words are conclusive, and he has hardly ever missed, since he said that this matter has been planned for a while, it must not be empty talk.

"I really want to see Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's angry appearance when his jaw dropped, just thinking about it makes me feel relieved!

Qin Jin informed Pei Jing of this matter, and it was precisely because he needed to send troops to respond, because once more than a dozen counties in Jingzhao Prefecture jointly issued a document to fight against the rebellion, they would inevitably be retaliated by the rebels in Chang'an.
