"What? Let Cui Xianggong go to assassinate the prime minister, and Du Qianyun can think of it!"

Pei Jing looked at Qin Jin in surprise, he really couldn't imagine that the wallhead grass that he had always despised could play such a big game of chess. Qin Jin also smiled with some emotion, this news was sent by Du Qianyun a day ago, according to the time point of his planning, I am afraid that it should be implemented at this time today, but I don't know how to succeed or fail.

Once Cui Lian carries out the assassination, Chang'an City will inevitably be under martial law inside and outside, and it is normal that the news will not be transmitted at that time.

"Cui Xianggong has done his best for the country, and making this choice is no exception, it's a pity to ......"

Qin Jin paused at this point, although he and Cui Jian had many contradictions and few harmonious times, they admired Cui Lian's personality very much, and today he knew that he would die, and his heart was somewhat unpleasant. Pei Jing and Qin Jin were thinking similarly at this moment.

"Cui Xianggong is loyal to the country, although today's stab has achieved a reputation for the ages, I am afraid it will also be tolerated by the Tubo people, I only hope that he can succeed in one blow and live up to his life. ”

Pei Jing's emotions were a little excited, Chang'an fell into the hands of Tubo, and the Emperor Taishang, who had been in the world for more than 40 years, was tragically burned to death in the Ningyin Palace, and the Son of Heaven, who became a waste, also disappeared after the fall of Chang'an. In just a few years, the Tang Dynasty fell from an unprecedented prosperity to the abyss, and when it will reach the bottom has become a distant extravagant hope. He is a noble son who was born and grew up in the prosperous era, and naturally has a proud plot in his heart that Qin Jin does not have.

Now, all the pride of being a Tang person has been trampled under the feet of the Hu people and trampled on arbitrarily, and this breath cannot be swallowed no matter what.

"The last general can't wait to fly to Chang'an now, and worship the countless creatures who died tragically under the iron hooves of the thief with the head of the old thief of Maxiang Zhong Bajie!"

It was the first time for Qin Jin to see Cui Jian so excited, so he came behind him, raised his right arm and gently patted his back to comfort him.

"Now is not the best time, the momentum of the Tubo people is flourishing, the Shenwu army should avoid its edge, and when their sharp energy is exhausted in the land of Guanzhong, it is time for us to slaughter dogs and chickens. ”

As the leader of the Shenwu Army, Qin Jin was not only thinking about the gains and losses of the first battle in Guanzhong, but also about a more long-term plan. With the current strength of the Shenwu Army, it is not impossible to fight hard with the Tubo people, but it is bound to pay a considerable price, as the saying goes, killing the enemy is 1,000 and losing 800, even if you win, I am afraid that the casualties will not be small.

However, the defeat of the Tubo was only the beginning, and more importantly, it was more important to completely annihilate the Anbao rebels entrenched in Hebei Province. If the Shenwu army suffered too many casualties, what could they do to annihilate the ambitious Shi Siming? Even if they passed the two hurdles of Tubo and Shi Siming in a row, and there were other leaders who were eyeing the tiger, who could guarantee that these people would not plan to make a fisherman's profit?

You must know that the internal fighting in the Tang Dynasty was sometimes far more ferocious and ruthless than the foreign war.

After years of experience, Qin Jin is no longer the stunned young man who has just arrived, and he is more proficient in the way of self-preservation.

"Okay, no matter whether Du Qianyun's plan is successful or not, the Shenwu army must react immediately, I heard that the deputy minister of Tubo personally led the troops into Tongguan, in Qin's opinion, this should be a feint, and make a plan for Shang Xijie to storm Feng Yi. Let's simply turn the feint attack into a real battle, to convince the other party that the Shenwu Army is eager to break through the battle line blocked to the west of Tongguan. ”

Pei Jing was a little puzzled.

"The doctor just said that he wants to preserve his strength and wait and see what happens, why do you have to fight a tough battle now?"

Qin Jin still looks confident.

"This is different, if the Tubo people who don't fight hurt to the bones, they will only endlessly show off their power outside Tongguan, and Shang Xijie is likely to sweep Feng Yijun before Du Fu safely transferred Feng Yi's people. ”

Now the Shenwu Army and the Tubo Army are fighting not only for strength, but also for psychological quality.

Obviously, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie did not think that the 200,000 troops of Tubo were enough to fight on two fronts, so he divided the main and secondary attacks in the westward advance, and these actions fell in the eyes of Qin Jin without any mistakes, and his response was to do the opposite, so that the Tubo people would fight a hard battle where they did not want to fight.

Once there is a problem with the planning of the Tubo people, the Shenwu Army will naturally have a chance. What's more, there is also the assassination incident planned by Du Qianyun. Suddenly, Qin Jin stood up from his seat violently, raised his tone, and said with a bit of anxiety in his tone:

"Quickly send people along Weishui to spread rumors to the west, saying that the Tibetan Prime Minister Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was assassinated tonight and died!"

Pei Jing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again:

"Doctor's clever plan, even if the assassination fails, it will definitely disturb the Tubo people!"

On the internal issues of Tibet, Qin Jin had also done his homework in advance, and knew the contradictions between Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie and Xiao Zanpu Trisong Dezan. And the person who nominally led the troops westward of the Tubo army this time was the deputy minister Yixi Wangpo, who supported Trisong Detsen.

Qin Jin briefly described his thoughts, and Pei Jing smiled even more.

"The doctor's question for Na Yixi Wangbo is so tricky, how can he let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"It's hard to say anything, Yixi Wangpo supported the little Zanpu Trisong Detsen, how could Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie really hand over the military power to him? But no matter what, he is still the nominal commander, once the news of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's assassination reaches the Tibetan army, this person will definitely spare no effort to seize the military power, and then return to Chang'an to help Trisong Detsen completely take power. ”

Pei Jing also took it up after patting the case in front of him.

"They're in a hurry to go back, so we can't let them go easily. The more anxious they become, the more they lose their combat effectiveness, even if there are 100,000 male soldiers?

Qin Jin added softly:

"Don't forget, there is also Tian Chenghe's troubles in Jingzhao Mansion, let's see how they are clumsy......"

In just three days of hard work, the number of counties that should be in trouble has increased sharply from the initial dozen to more than 50, and in addition to the counties of Jingzhao Mansion, there are also counties in Jingzhou, Ningzhou, Pizhou and other places have risen up one after another, and the development of the situation is becoming more and more intense, which he did not expect.

However, Tian Chengsi was the person who was the best at seizing the opportunity, and seeing that the rebels in Chang'an had not come to suppress the Tubo people for a long time, he further decided to set up a private army, and the people of Yinghe county were incorporated into the private camp, so that one could evacuate at any time, and the other could organize to fight a battle when necessary.

At first, under the coercion of Tian Chenghe, Zhang Jie, the county commander who was reluctant to make trouble, became one of the most active figures at this time, and contacted the counties everywhere as the first righteousness, in addition to coordinating the county chiefs who had joined the group, but also repeatedly urged those local officials who were on the sidelines It turned out that Zhang Jie's leadership and provocation played a great role in it, and most of the entire southern part of Guannei Province, especially the counties and counties close to Chang'an, were originally loyal to Li Chenghong's puppet court.

However, after this vigorous uproar, these unwilling local officials immediately found the road of light, and in just another day's work, the Taishou of Yuan, Ning, Qing, Yan and other prefectures and counties all reiterated the rebellious document concocted by Tian Chenghe, and wanted to bring Li Chenghong, a rebellious man, to national law and drive the scheming Tubo people back to Tubo.

Seeing that his unintentional move to insert willows has gradually come to fruition, Tian Chengsi is becoming more and more uneasy, because he originally planned to leave with a vote, but he didn't care whether those magistrates at both ends of the rat head were dead or alive. But with the development of the situation, the original dozen counties have grown to dozens of counties now, and even the county guards of various states and counties have joined in, and he knows that he is no longer just talking.

Tian Chengsi is a battle-hardened general, and he also knows very well that don't look at the current joy in the counties and counties of Gyeonggi Province and Kannai Province, once the Tubo army comes in the dust, these hastily organized private enterprises are the existence of a rabble, so he is very worried that the Tubo people will suddenly wave their troops to suppress them. However, his worries have not come for a long time, which is very contrary to common sense.

The movement was so loud that even the Tubo people would have to react a little later, right? Soon, Tian Chenghe's doubts were explained by a boiling rumor.

"The Tibetan Prime Minister Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was assassinated and killed, and the deputy minister who led the troops to enter Tongguan Yixi Wangbo returned to Chang'an to seize power...... The little Zanpu Trisong Dezan, who has always been a puppet, is not willing to be lonely......"

Zhang Jie said all the rumors he could hear in one go, although he felt that some of the rumors were more evil, but they would not be groundless.

Tian Chengsi was overjoyed, patted his thighs again and again, and looked up to the sky and laughed.

"God help me, God help me!"

After laughing for a while, Tian Chengsi hurriedly ordered Zhang Jie to pass on the order, and the private enterprises in various places had already organized to conduct a field exercise, and the destination was the plain between Sagashan and Jingyang.

The reason why he chose to be here is that Tian Chengsi values the complexity of the local water system, even if the Tubo people come to attack, they will definitely be blocked by the river, and let the private sector have some experience of close contact with the Tubo people, so as to make the necessary preparations for the future counterattack on Chang'an.

In fact, most of the private enterprises that can be organized are in a few counties in Gyeonggi Province, and there are roughly 20,000 or 30,000 strong people, while the rest are all old, weak, women and children. As for the Guannai Road further north, although many counties and counties have also announced incidents, Tian Chenghe's hand can't be stretched out for the time being, but even so is enough, and twenty or thirty thousand strong men and horses are pulled together regardless of their combat effectiveness.

In addition, Tian Chengsi wanted to use this operation to test the Tubo people entrenched in Chang'an to see if the news of Ma Xiangzhong Bajie's assassination was groundless.
