Chapter 432: Hu will go to the end
As Qin Jin expected, the Taishou of Jinzhou, Mizhou, and Fenzhou changed their banners and returned to Tang, and the expression of guilt was soon sent to Qin Jin, asking him to forward it to the Son of Heaven. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Qin Jin looked at these three-point expressions, and what he wrote was naturally full of flowers, but in his opinion, it was not for the Son of Heaven at all, but for himself, and what he did was to keep the official position of Taishou and not be punished.
In this battle, Pei Jing defeated Cai Xide at Qushankou, and he actually fought back, Qin Jin was very satisfied with his performance this time. Since then, the Shenwu Army has no one to take lightly, and this is the first comprehensive victory they have fought since they came to Hedong Province.
"Envoy, the three places of Jin and Fen are too guarded to return to Tang, and the Shenwu Army can govern the six counties of Hedong, when we left Chang'an, how could we have thought that there would be a ...... today?"
Pei Jing sighed after the initial excitement, he really didn't think that he was squeezed out of the capital by the ministers, and he actually had a day of raising his eyebrows in the local area.
Looking at Pei Jing with emotion on his face, Qin Jin smiled and was silent, Pei Jing said to himself:
"Since the day of the thief's rebellion, the Manchu Dynasty has even counted the prime ministers, who has recovered the six counties of Hedong in one go?"
Emotion is followed by inflated confidence.
"Only six counties are satisfied?"
Facing Pei Jing, whose confidence was inflated, Qin Jin asked lightly.
"Well, the six counties are naturally not enough, so sooner or later you will have to recover the eighteen counties of Hedong Road!"
However, when he saw Qin Jin's expression, he seemed to be disapproving, so he paused for a moment, and then lost his voice: "Could it be that the target of the envoy is Fan Yang?"
Pei Jing's mind was very quick, and he guessed Qin Jin's ultimate goal at once.
The air in the hall seemed to freeze in an instant, and Pei Jing only felt that his mouth and tongue were dry, and there seemed to be a fire rising in his chest. Qin Jin nodded, agreeing with Pei Jing's speculation, and then walked a few steps to the huge map, pointing to the location in the direction of Youzhou.
"Fan Yang is the nest of the thieves, although he has been established in Luoyang as the emperor, but the elites under his command are all from Youzhou, as long as we can take Fan Yang with lightning speed, the thieves' army will inevitably be in chaos, and it will be a good time to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop. ”
Qin Jin explained his plan and discernment, and boiled Pei Jingting's enthusiasm, if it was completed, they would be a real reinvention in the Tang Dynasty.
However, when Pei Jing was excited, Qin Jin poured a basin of cold water on it at the right time.
"It's not difficult to overcome Fan Yang, the real resistance of the Shenwu Army is not on the outside but on the inside!"
This sentence is a bit ambiguous, but the meaning is obvious, Pei Jing is naturally familiar with the internal situation of the Tang Dynasty, how can the ministers, including the Son of Heaven, let the Shenwu Army have the merit of reconstruction?
Some words don't have to be said explicitly, just click on them, how can Pei Jing be willing to be hindered by someone behind him, but he is helpless.
"Looking at the top and bottom, can there still be people who fight against thieves?"
Qin Jin said softly:
"How not?"
At the same time, he pointed to the south, which was naturally the direction of Tongguan.
Pei Jing was stunned, he understood that the south that Qin Jin was referring to was not Gao Xianggong!
Indeed, Ko Sang-gong is recognized as a leading figure in the DPRK and China in terms of qualifications and ability. After figuring out the joints, the fire of excitement in his chest was extinguished in an instant.
And he immediately thought of a more serious problem, "The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey cooks!" Once the thief is completely destroyed, the son of today will definitely not forget the disaster of the original mutiny, and then it will be time to settle the score.
The more Pei Jing thought about it, the more he felt that a cool breeze was swishing in the back of his head, obviously it was a happy thing to win the battle, but after a few words of conversation with Qin Jin, he was shocked to realize that the day when the traitors were purged was likely to be their bad luck.
After a period of bitterness, Pei Jing sat down on the couch dejectedly, not knowing what to say.
Seeing that Pei Jing's mood fluctuated and his enthusiasm seemed to have been severely frustrated, Qin Jin turned around and said with a smile:
"There is no long-term concern, but there must be near-term worries. Predicting the ending is not necessarily a bad thing!"
"It's not a bad thing, but it's still a good thing?"
In the face of Pei Jing's frustration, Qin Jin stood solemnly.
"Who dares to kill the heroes of the rebellion?"
Pei Jing was even more depressed, he didn't believe that the heroes of the rebellion would become a talisman for the minister, on the contrary, it would only become a talisman.
However, his intuition told Pei Jing that Qin Yuanjun didn't seem to have the mind to care about this matter at the moment, but in that case, how could he worry about it from a long time or near it?
was secretly speculating in Pei Jing, and came to report in person:
"Envoy, Xiangling County ordered Xue Chengji to ask to see!"
Qin Jin had been waiting for this person for a long time, so he waved his robe sleeves to let Pei Jing calm down for a while.
"Hurry up!"
After a while, a middle-aged man about thirty years old walked in, and after seeing Qin Jin's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then hurriedly bowed down.
"The guilty man Xue Chengji visited the envoy!"
Seeing this, Qin Jin hurriedly left the table and stepped forward to help Xue Chengji up, and let him go to the seat on the left hand side, while at the same time, a servant had already brought the freshly brewed tea soup.
"Brother Xue endures humiliation and burdens to protect the elders of a county, what is the crime?"
The exculpation in these words was very obvious, Xue Chengji's face was slightly red, and although he did not refuse, he said continuously: "Don't dare, don't dare...... Ashamed, ashamed......"
Looking at Xue Chengji, who was honest and fearful and polite, Pei Jing suddenly understood Qin Jin's intentions......
……
Jincheng, Cai Xide escaped in nine deaths, and his descendants suffered seven or eight losses in the battle of Qushankou, and in the shock and anger, the affected area of his chest increased sharply, and the whole person was bedridden.
But even so, he still did not give up the idea of counterattacking, the reason why Qin Jin's Shenwu army was able to defeat him was not by virtue of dignified strength, but by conspiracy and trickery, if he had taken Jiangxian County in one fell swoop at any cost at any cost, how could he have suffered today's fiasco? In the final analysis, he still underestimated the Shenwu army and despised Qin Jin and his people.
Defeat and defeat is the fundamental reason why Cai Xide has learned from the pain, although he regrets it, it is a boat that is irretrievable, and now he can only launch a counterattack according to his existing strength.
Cai Xide reorganized the old department in Jincheng, and as soon as Li Jinzhong returned, he acted according to the plan he had just made.
But before Li Jinzhong came back, Sima in the army came to the door with a sad face.
"If you don't think about it, you will have to run out of food in the army, general, it is still difficult to garrison Jincheng, and it is even more ...... to send troops."
"What about the military rations? How can there be no military rations? Isn't it that all the silverfish in the army have been swallowed privately?"
Cai Xide was a little out of shape, and he became hysterical.
Sima, who was in charge of grain transshipment, was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and defended again and again:
"Even if you borrow a hundred guts, you don't dare, but the Tang army rushed to Tianjing Pass, and burned the grain team transferred from the water twice in a row, and now the grain transferred from the eastern capital cannot pass, and the whole Zezhou will face the danger of running out of grain......
Cai Xide finally remembered that when he was in Jiangxian County, he had already heard the news that the Shenwu Army was attacking and disturbing the grain road at Tianjing Pass, but he didn't care too much about it at first, and now he didn't want to suffer from scabies, and he had the possibility of becoming a harm to his heart.
"The Shenwu Army is on an expedition, and there must not be many people and horses in Tianjing Pass, are you staying in Jincheng to eat rice?
In fact, this matter can not be blamed at all on the head of this Sima, his duty is only responsible for transporting grain, but that Sima does not dare to say that it is none of his business, Cai Xide since the defeat and serious injury, it seems to be a different person, sometimes the brain does not seem to be very clear, and the temper is gradually moody, so he had to carefully explain:
"General Cheng did send people to chase after him, but he couldn't be seen several times, and when he retreated, he was bitten by his tail again, and he suffered a lot of losses......"
The more Cai Xide listened, the more angry he became, and finally couldn't help but smash the couch with his fists, and roared angrily: "Qin Jin Zhuzi, don't kill this thief, swear not to be a man!"
Perhaps he was too emotional, and his eyes passed out.
Sima first let out a long sigh of relief, and then loudly called for someone to take care of Cai Xide.
After a long time of tossing and turning in a hurry, Cai Xide finally woke up, after opening his eyes, he seemed to be a lot more sober, and never mentioned the counterattack again, but in exchange for Cheng Ying and several other generals, to discuss how to hold Jincheng, this is their last stronghold in Hedong, and it must not be lost again. Otherwise, after completely withdrawing from Hedong, the Tang army took the opportunity to blockade Taihang Mountain, and the Yan army would have twice the result if they wanted to enter Hedong again.
"Luzhou also has to send some people over, those local officials are all grass on the wall, and it is very likely that they will vote for the Tang Dynasty when the situation is not good, and extraordinary measures can be taken at critical moments......
Cai Xide is really murderous, which is very different from the Huairou strategy he has always practiced in the past.
However, a piece of news interrupted their plans.
Li Jinzhong's cavalry was completely annihilated, and he himself was seriously wounded, barely escaping, and now he has completely fallen into a coma.
"What? Li Jinzhong's entire army was wiped out? This, how is this possible?"
In his impression, Li Jinzhong's Khitan cavalry was not inferior to Wuhu Huaizhong's Tongluo cavalry, even if they were both defeated, they might not be able to wipe out the whole army, but because they were seriously injured and difficult to move, they could only half-lie on the bed and ask questions again and again.
The generals comforted him not to be too excited, to recuperate from his injuries now, and to ask the specific reason when Li Jinzhong woke up.
Cai Xide suddenly changed his face, and hissed angrily: "Li Jinzhong's general who lost his division should be killed, he should be killed!"
Before a curse could land, the battle report from the Duanshi City of Shui Shui was hurriedly sent in, and the battle report was stained with blood, and the people who watched it were shocked.
Cheng Ying opened the tarpaulin wrapped on the outside, took out a piece of parchment inside, and looked at it a few times before his face changed greatly.
"Kuainian, how is the battle situation of the Duan Clan?"
Cheng Ying read mechanically: "The Tang army crossed the water to attack Duan's city, and the Duan's people and wealthy families dedicated the city to greet ......."
"Impossible, impossible......"
Cai Xide denied it repeatedly, he used more methods to entrap the local powerful people in Zezhou, and it was impossible for these people to change their faces so quickly.
Cheng Ying said again: "According to the military report, the newly attached army that stayed in Jiangxian County voted for the Tang Dynasty, and they were originally the children of Zezhou, and now they are fighting back with the Shenwu army, where they have passed...... Respond to ......"
"Impossible......"
Cai Xide shouted again, and then a mouthful of old blood spurted out......
