Gao Lishi angrily scolded Qin Jin for being alarmist in front of the Son of Heaven, but Li Longji rarely stopped him, and then turned his head to look at Qin Jin, and a sharp light shot out of his dry old eyes.

"Keep talking!"

Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, did not argue with him, but put on a posture of eagerness to listen.

"The minister's anxieties are both present and future. ”

"What is the present, and what will be the future?" asked Li Longji word by word.

Gao Lishi did not stop speaking because of the Son of Heaven's stopping, and after Li Longji finished asking, he still reprimanded with a compelling attitude:

"The shaft is not ashamed, the knowledgeable officials in Hebei Province have gone anyway, and the back road against Hu is cut off, and the thieves are trapped in Luoyang for a long time......?

His words were very intense, but he did not mean to embarrass Qin Jin, but out of the habit of many years, under the condition that the minister's words were so mean, he maintained the dignity that the Son of Heaven deserved. As for what he said, after the beginning of spring, the army will inevitably destroy and destroy the rebels wherever it goes, but in fact, he is not sure in his heart.

Qin Jin knew that the king of Hades was good-looking, the little ghost was difficult, and Gao Lishi was so aggressive, if he made an enmity with this person because of the dispute in the palace today, it would be more than worth the loss, so he arched his hand and said:

"What the general said is reasonable!"

"Since a certain statement is reasonable, but admit that he was alarmist and demagoguery the saint just now?" Gao Lishi's attitude did not ease at all, and he pressed forward step by step.

"General, don't worry, please listen and come one by one. ”

"Just say!"

Qin Jin took a deep breath and began to enter the theme of today's face monarch.

"First of all, more than half a month has passed since the union of the fifteen counties and counties of Hebei Province anyway, but there is no definite news back to Chang'an, and the Shuofang army, which is closest to Hebei Province, has not been out of the clouds for a long time, and the situation on the battlefield is changing smoothly, and at this time today, General An dares to assert that he will win?"

"This, you ......"

Gao Lishi was shocked by Qin Jin's extremely bold remarks, and he didn't dare to rashly export for a while, where did he dare to assert that he would win or lose, he couldn't be clearer about his military attainments, and he rarely expressed his views on such key sensitive issues in ordinary times, if it wasn't for saving the face of the Son of Heaven today, how could he have a dispute with Qin Jin?

From this can be extended to two endings, if it is as the general said, naturally everything is happy. However, in the unlikely event that the fifteen counties of Hebei Province are defeated by the reinforcements of the thieves and Hu, the situation is bound to be completely erosive. ”

"Qin Qing said, what are the chances of winning in the counties and counties of Hebei Province?" Li Longji leaned forward and suddenly asked again.

"According to the current situation in Hebei Province, the counties of Hebei Province have no soldiers available, and the local resistance mainly relies on temporarily recruited unity soldiers, and the marginal quality of these unity soldiers is uneven, and their morale is also different.

Qin Jin made a slip of the tongue for a while, and said that the rebels under An Lushan's command were the border army of the Tang Dynasty, and when he realized it, he could only continue to speak.

Although Li Longji is old and his hearing is poor, the four words of the Tang Dynasty border army still fell on his ears, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, Qin Jin is right, the elite of the rebels under the command of An Lushan was still the elite of the border army of the Li family of Datang two months ago.

Thinking of these, the taste of it is that only as a son of heaven can you feel that unspeakable personal suffering. However, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all, and his expression is depressed and suddenly sharp.

Qin Jin made a swallowing motion to relieve his nervousness.

"The minister has received definite news before Ruguanzhong, if the rebels use their troops in Hebei Province go well, the thief will be the emperor after Shangyuan, and then he will inevitably march westward again and attack Guanzhong. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Jin's words changed, and he turned back from the military affairs to the original theory of the present and the future.

"If the rebellion against Hu wins in one year, my Tang Dynasty will be at least thirty years backwards. If you don't win for a year and protract for a long time, I'm afraid that you will be in a state of collapse from now on. ”

As soon as these words came out, Gao Lishi, who was sitting beside Li Longji, was already shocked and could not say another word. Indeed, when the Eastern Capital first fell, there was indeed a sense of unease among the government and the opposition. However, after a fire in Kunshan, the casualties of the rebels who rushed westward were not counted, and the main general Cui Qianyou was captured, and the morale of the previously lost people was regained. In addition, the Son of Heaven reactivated the veteran of the hundred battles, Ge Shuhan, and now he has led the troops to sit in Tongguan, in the consciousness of the hundred officials, as long as everything is ready, it seems that the recovery of the Eastern Capital is just a matter of an eye.

Although Gao Lishi did not dare to accept Qin Jin's words, he was not confused in his heart, Qin Jin did not argue with him about victory or defeat on the battlefield, but only talked about the impact after the war, and it seemed that the credit of the Son of Heaven for 40 years of hard work was going to be put into it.

The Son of Heaven still didn't speak, quietly waiting for Qin Jin to continue.

This is not an alarmist statement. The thieves rebelled against the three provinces of Hedong, Hebei and Dugi. Half of the households in the Tang Dynasty are here, and the people died or fled during the war, and the good people were separated from the household registration seven or eight out of ten, and when the world was stable, the people who fled and were killed and injured had long been missing, and it was difficult to return to their hometowns. The household registration books in the hands of the imperial court have become pieces of waste paper, and at that time, where will the rents be collected? The annual income of the Tang Dynasty has suddenly halved, and the local relief needs money, and the border towns spend tens of millions of dollars a year, so how can these holes be filled?"

Qin Jin's words made Gao Lishi's heart inexplicably frightened, and he couldn't help but continue to stimulate the Son of Heaven, he wanted to stop Qin Jin from continuing, but the words were blocked between his lips and couldn't spit out.

Because even he understood what Qin Jin said, what Qin Jin said was not unreasonable, the thieves rebelled against the Hu rebels all the way south, and there would be no shortage of burning, killing and looting, and the people were not big trees with legs and feet in the soil, so they naturally had to flee from the war-torn land in order to survive.

In order to get more soldiers, An Lushan will definitely strengthen the army in various places along the way. This kind of thing is not only An Lushan, but also the imperial court in order to gather 50,000 troops for Ge Shuhan, but also forcibly recruited strong men in Guanzhong. Together with the soldiers brought out by Gao Xianzhi, the total number of strong men forcibly recruited has exceeded 200,000.

However, even with 200,000 people, they are still a rabble who have not been battled and trained, and once they face the elite of the rebel iron cavalry of An Lushan, they don't know how long they can last.

Gao Lishi also knew that Feng Changqing was at a loss and brought some rabble under his subordinates, so he was defeated again and again in the battle of Luoyang, and his half-life wisdom was ruined.

"But what the ministers are more worried about is that the court is fighting endlessly, and there are many people who seek personal constraints."

"Shut up!"

Colliers was sweating like a pulp, and he only felt that his heart was about to explode from his chest!
