Although Li Cao looked at Qin Jin's calm and calm performance, he didn't think that Qin Jin was really so casual in his heart, you must know that the Anshi rebels were almost as powerful as a bamboo before breaking through Tongguan, and even strong cities such as Luoyang were broken overnight, and even if the city wall of Chang'an was slightly higher and the moat was slightly deeper, how strong could it be?

What's more, he came in from outside Chang'an City, and he knew everything about the situation outside. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe actual situation is that as long as you go out of the gates of Chang'an, almost all the places south of Weishui are under the control of the Anshi rebels, but the officials and troops of the Tang Dynasty are like rats playing hide and seek with cats, hiding and hiding.

Besides, the circumference of Chang'an City is more than 70 miles, and as long as the rebels find a few places to attack at the same time, I am afraid that no matter how strong the city defense is, it will be difficult to resist it? In Li Cao's conjecture, the reason why the Anshi rebels have been unable to break through Chang'an City for a long time is probably because the main general, Sun Xiaozhe, was seriously injured.

But as long as he doesn't die, no matter how serious his injuries are, he will be healed, and as long as Sun Xiaozhe can recover about seventy percent, he will be able to regain control of the army.

All in all, Li Cao felt that Qin Jin's plan to lure the enemy seemed too dangerous, and he was racking his brains to speculate, even if Qin Jin succeeded in luring the enemy, what would it do? Is the Shenwu Army really capable of eating 200,000 or more rebels in one bite? It is true that the example of the great victory in Hedong Province was in the past, but it was only the success of the strategy and the stupid cooperation of the generals, and the contest in the vast area of several counties was not the same as the single offensive and defensive battle of Chang'an in front of him.

Although Li Cao also admitted that Qin Jin was indeed a rare brave and resourceful person, in the face of the strength of Tie Da, he did not think that opportunistic methods would be effective every time.

This time, the rebels chose two directions to attack at the same time, the battle on the east side took place at Yanxingmen, and the battle on the west side was at Kaiyuan Gate and Yanping Gate.

Qin Jin chose the west side and rushed to Kaiyuan Gate with Li Cao.

When he was still on the street, Li Cao heard the rumbling sound one after another, which was the same as what he heard in the Taiji Palace last night.

He was also very curious about this new type of firearm in the mouth of the Son of Heaven, and he couldn't wait to fly to the city wall immediately to see how the Shenwu Army used this weapon that made a loud noise to retreat from the enemy. Along the way, however, he found a large group of heavily armed Shenwu troops slowly advancing in the opposite direction to the battle.

"Doctor, I don't know what to do, why don't these soldiers go to open the door?"

"You must be wondering, it's not difficult to understand, in fact, the defenders of the city are all solidarity soldiers, and they are all people with excellent physical intelligence selected from the private sector. ”

A lieutenant general who followed behind Qin Jin seemed to think that Li Cao's rarity and strangeness were a little funny, and actually interjected:

"Even King Guangping was selected and promoted from the private sector through layers of examinations, but he is only qualified to enter the unity army, don't underestimate the unity army!"

These words almost made Li Cao's jaw drop in shock, and of course he knew who the King of Guangping was.

In the past, the identity of King Guangping was only the eldest son of the prince, but now, the original prince has ascended the throne as the emperor, and King Guangping, who is the eldest son, will naturally be canonized as the prince. I believe that it will not be long before the rebels besieging Chang'an are withdrawn, and the canonization edict of King Guangping will be announced to the world.

Thinking of this, Li Cao couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

It is not easy to retreat from the enemy of Chang'an, and I don't know if I will be able to see that day.

When he was about to go to the city, an errand suddenly galloped over and handed over an official document to Qin Jin.

Qin Jin opened it casually, glanced at it casually, but his face immediately became nervous, and then he carefully browsed it again, and then he said to the errand officer:

"Quickly go back and pass on my order, immediately suspend the execution, and wait for me to go over and screen them one by one!"

Although the officer was stunned for a moment, he answered his promise and rode away again.

didn't even have the kung fu to talk to Li Cao, Qin Jin immediately got on his horse and galloped away, even forgetting about watching the battle in the city.

However, Qin Jin's nervous expression frightened Li Cao, in the face of the rebel siege, he could calm down and not change his face, what happened to make him so anxious?

A troop of cavalry galloped on Chang'an Avenue, which was a serious violation of wartime regulations, but the soldiers who maintained law and order retreated after discovering the dark red banner in the cavalry. Qin Jin couldn't wait to rush to the West Market immediately, which was the execution ground selected by Jingzhao Mansion.

Today, a large number of Yang Guozhong's henchmen will be executed after the execution of the beheading trial, and the official document just now is the final list of death row prisoners. That's why Qin Jin was so anxious, on that official document, a person's name made him nervous.

Guo Ziyi: This is the name that appeared on the list of Yang Guozhong's henchmen, and he was sentenced to death.

After the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, Yang Guozhong's henchmen were held accountable for the crime of harming the country and the people, so a large number of officials who stayed in Chang'an were implicated.

Qin Jin believes that Guo Ziyi is by no means a waste of fame in history, no matter whether this person has ever been attached to Yang Guozhong, he is a real talent, if Guo Ziyi's life is such a sad curtain call, he will feel uneasy even dreaming. Qin Jin felt that it was inappropriate when the Son of Heaven issued an edict to govern Yang Guozhong's henchmen, but later he was persuaded by his servant Li Mi that Yang Guozhong's main henchmen must be responsible for the danger of the lost empire in Tongguan.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Qin Jin also felt that this only implicated a very small number of people, but it would reassure the vast majority of officials, and even be grateful to the new emperor Dade, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. As a result, there was no further intervention.

The errand of cleaning up Yang Guozhong's henchmen was later handed over to Cui Guangyuan by the Son of Heaven, and Cui Guangyuan's personality Qin Jin knew very well, so he was more relieved and no longer asked.

Kaiyuan Gate is not far from the West Market, only separated by Yining Fang and Gude Fang, but in Qin Jin, it feels like every second is like a year, and when he finally sees the gate of the West Market from a distance, he is getting more and more nervous. I saw that the outside had surrounded the three layers inside and the outer three floors to watch the lively people, and there were cursing sounds, painful sounds, and shouts from time to time in the crowd.

Stones, feces, and dirt were thrown into the execution ground one after another, and even if he hadn't seen the situation in the execution ground with his own eyes, Qin Jin could imagine how miserable those prisoners who were to be beheaded would be.

Suddenly, bursts of cheers and whistles erupted in the crowd of onlookers, and Qin Jin's heart also beat sharply, it must have begun, and every cheering ** represents a human head falling to the ground. He only prayed, and the head that landed at this time was not Guo Ziyi.

Qin Jin's cavalry guards quickly drove a passage from the crowd, and the rest galloped into the execution ground from the passage. At the same time, Cui Guangyuan also discovered the anomaly and ordered a moratorium on the execution. It wasn't until he saw clearly that it was Qin Jin that the tension dissipated.

Cui Guangyuan wanted to let Qin Jin into the tent to watch the execution, but Qin Jin impatiently pointed to the group of death row prisoners who were halfway through the execution, and asked intermittently:

"Is there ever a person named Guo Ziyi here?"

Cui Guangyuan was stunned when he boarded, and asked incomprehensibly:

"Can you know Guo Ziyi?"

Qin Jin just wanted to answer that he knew, but he swallowed it back when he spoke, and replied instead:

"Although I haven't seen it in person, I know that this person is definitely not Yang Guozhong's henchman!"

In Chang'an City, even the newly enthroned Son of Heaven could not do whatever he wanted, let alone Qin Jin? Qin Jin suddenly realized that if he wanted to rescue Guo Ziyi when the case was concluded, he could only cry out for him and insist that he was not Yang Guozhong's henchmen, otherwise even he would not be able to save Yang Guozhong's henchmen who everyone said could be killed without any reasonable reason.

"This, how is this possible? This liao took Yang Guozhong's door, two days before the fall of Tongguan, the edict of the Son of Heaven arrived in Menxia Province, asking him to go to Shuofang Dao to know the festival!"

Those who can know the affairs of the festival are either the deputy envoys of the festival, or the queen of the festival, and they have initially possessed the qualifications to enter the phase, and people of this level naturally cannot be regarded as ordinary climbers in Cui Guangyuan's opinion.

Before learning the specific details of the relationship between Guo Ziyi and Yang Guozhong, Qin Jin did not plan to argue with Cui Guangyuan, as long as the execution could be suspended, everything could be done.

"This matter can be discussed later, Qin will go and ask His Majesty for instructions, Brother Cui should not refuse!"

Qin Jin said this, and Cui Guangyuan also felt that Qin Jin could be so nervous about a person, and he must have a lot to do with this person, even if he didn't know it, it might not be the truth, so he agreed after thinking for a while.

"If the Son of Heaven has an edict, the subordinates dare to disobey their orders!"

At the same time, Cui Guangyuan waved his hand and ordered one of the prisoners to be brought out, and after Yousi verified his identity, he was escorted into the tent, and then ordered the execution to continue. The people who were in turmoil had only then returned to calm, and if everyone's executions were suspended, I was afraid that these onlookers who were watching the excitement would have to be in chaos.

"Doctor Qin, Guo Ziyi is in the shed, if you have anything to say, go ask now!"

Qin Jin greatly accepted Cui Guangyuan's affection, nodded and walked to the tent.

Entering the shed, the light suddenly dimmed, Qin Jin's eyes were a little uncomfortable for a while, and it took a long time to vaguely see the face of this person, only to see that his clothes were in tatters, his bare skin and flesh were scarred, and his flesh and blood were blurred, which made people unbearable to look at.

"Guo Ziyi?"

After a long time, Qin Jin asked in a low voice.
