Chapter 825: Attacking the Heart is the Top
Until dawn the next day, there was still billowing smoke in the direction of Luoyang Palace, Qin Jin and others had been speculating whether anyone was fighting the fire, and it stands to reason that the rebels were not so panicked. ε «δΈ?Chinese (ε «)?? .?8 (8) 1 Z (1) .COM
"Doctor Qin, the old man is ready to go to Heyang and Yanshi. β
I don't know when, Yan Zhuang was already standing behind him, and Qin Jin shook his head without thinking about it.
"You don't have to work in person, it's dangerous and unpredictable, if someone wants to do harm, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?"
In fact, Qin Jin's answer was also expected by Yan Zhuang, this was because he was worried that he would not return. However, Qin Jin's attitude was still very polite, and he even shouted one by one, and he couldn't see any unusual thoughts at all.
Qin Jin thought for a while, and then said:
"It's better for Yan Xianggong to write a letter and distribute it to Yanshi and Heyang, if these people still remember the old friendship, they will definitely judge the situation and make the right choice!"
Solemnly bowed and said:
"As the doctor said, the old man obeys his fate!"
In addition to the messengers who went to Heyang and Yanshi, Qin Jin specially mobilized the elite troops of the Hui troops of Moyan and Luo, and made a feint along the Yellow River all the way to the east.
Mo Yan Siluo picked up the advantage in the previous night battle, not only was he not punished by Qin Jin, but also the grades he won were also cashed out one by one, although he was only stamped with the debt of the bronze seal of the envoy Yuanyuan, but he was not worried at all, Qin Jin would turn his face and deny it.
Who is Dr. Qin? That's a person who has the world in mind, how can he rely on his reward of tens of thousands of gold?
At this time, Mo Yan Siluo had already thrown himself into Qin Jin's five bodies, and sometimes he felt embarrassed when he thought of targeting Qin Jin in every way that he didn't have the strength to do at the beginning. Every time he thinks of the embarrassment that fell into the hands of the Shenwu Army, he is even a little afraid, even if Qin Jin disposes of himself at that time, there is a reasonable reason, and the brother of the same birth who is far away in the grassland still wishes that he died in the Tang Dynasty, how can it be so sad to be born in the house of the Great Khan for a mere brother and the Tang Dynasty, and even the most basic brotherhood of flesh and blood has to be extinguished.
Inexplicably, Mo Yan Siluo actually had a little sadness in his heart, but after all, he was a grassland man, how could he be swayed by this emotion?
Qin Jin's gaze swept towards him.
"How does the leader of Moyan show a look of kinship? Isn't he complaining that the reward given by Qin is not enough?"
Of course, Qin Jin's words were just a joke, and Mo Yan smiled with a smile.
Although the warriors of the grassland love money, they also know that too much greed will break their belly!
Then, Mo Yan Siluo patted his chest and assured Qin Jin:
"Doctor, don't worry, even if there is no reward to be won on this expedition, the Hui warriors will do their best, if the doctor is interested, it will be more than enough for the last general to directly bring Yanshi and Heyang down!"
At this time, Yang Xingben and Qing Xuzi were not by Qin Jin's side, they each had important things to do, and there was no way to stay by Qin Jin's side all the time.
Otherwise, either of these two people will say that Moyan Siluo is not self-sufficient, Heyang and Yanshi are important towns, the former guards the pivotal place of Dugi Province and Hebei Province, and the latter is the necessary place for Qilu to Luoyang. The rebels had a strong presence in both towns.
It is no coincidence or accident that the commanders of the Ma Bujun in these two places are related to Yan Zhuang, Yan Zhuang has been deeply involved in the Luoyang Puppet Yan Imperial Court in recent years, in addition to gaining power in the court, he must cultivate his own sons and nephews as a military force that can echo it at any time.
It's a pity that the sky is not as good as people, Yan Zhuang didn't take a step and planted his heels first, so he had to rebel against Yan and join the Tang Dynasty, and in order to collect enough capital, he naturally thought of these old sons and nephews.
It was with this understanding that Qin Jin was relieved and bold to let Mo Yan Siluo only make a feint, and he believed that the commanders of the Ma Bu Army in Heyang and Yanshi would definitely come to the wind.
As long as Luoyang's road to the north and east is cut off, it is equivalent to cutting off the meridians of the puppet Yan court, and the military spirit will inevitably be hit again.
However, Qin Jin's plan is far more than that.
"Are all the flyers printed?"
One of the officers behind him replied:
"50,000 copies, a lot of them have been printed. β
The words of the military officer were obviously a bit much, and he sighed again:
"Time is pressing, 100 people rushed to work overnight, and only the woodblock was blurred more than a dozen pieces, but fortunately, the carving master was skillful and did not delay the doctor's important work!"
Qin Jin raised his hand and touched the beard on his cheeks, nodded and said:
"Before and after the battle, it's all for killing thieves, and it's also a great achievement, reward!"
The military officials thanked him again and again, and then bowed down and handed a rough piece of straw paper to Qin Jin.
"Doctor, please!"
Qin Jin took a few looks, the paper was extremely rough, and the surface was even a little rubbing, but fortunately, the handwriting was quite clear.
The officer said:
"Time is in a hurry, even this kind of coarse straw paper is not easy to find, thanks to the fact that there are a lot of used official papers in the nearby government offices, and it is enough to print them on the back. β
As he spoke, the officer snorted a few more times.
"So much paper is scattered in vain, the villain looks really distressed!"
Qin Jin smiled, but he also understood that the paper of this era was not as expensive as that of later generations, and even this kind of coarse straw paper was a common paper used by officials to make drafts. This is not counting, the scrapped official documents used by the government should be kept well, sold at half price, and used for homework by ordinary people, which is also a relatively large income.
Fifty thousand pieces of paper are scattered in a day's work, and in the eyes of these military officials, it may not be much different from throwing money. Moreover, it is necessary to spread non-stop not only today, but also tomorrow and even the next few days, which is also an indispensable part of the strategy of attacking the heart. Not to mention sprinkling paper, even if he really sprinkled copper coins like splashing water, he would not have the slightest hesitation.
With a long-range weapon such as stone artillery, dropping "leaflets" into the city was not a problem.
Of course, there was no word "leaflet" in this era, and Qin Jin didn't bother to think of a term that was in line with the world, but used it directly.
For a whole morning, the Shenwu Army was in a truce, and the firearms battalion dropped 50,000 copies of the 50,000 "leaflets" that had been printed overnight into the city.
This time, the accuracy of the stone cannon was not required, and it was only used to enter the city at the limit of range, and the farther away from the city wall was the better. The "leaflets" were not only for the defenders, but also for the common people.
β¦β¦
An Qingxu temporarily settled in the former private residence, he originally followed Li Longji's intention to change the private residence into a palace, but now there are internal and external troubles, where is the extra experience and cost to achieve this is the idea?
Da Xixun hesitated outside the bedroom for a long time and couldn't make up his mind, although it was almost noon, An Qingxu still had no sign of waking up, and everyone knew that the person who spared his dream did not end well.
"Da Xi Xianggong, if there is urgent military affairs, or, let's call Your Majesty to get up!"
A yellow gate saw that Da Xixun was really anxious, so he couldn't help but persuade.
Da Xixun waved his hand, squeezing out a stiff smile on his face.
"No, no, it's not urgent, and so on!"
As soon as the words fell, he saw An Shouzhong limping in, he suffered a few arrow wounds yesterday, and at this time he endured the pain in his body and ran between the two places, Da Xixun realized that this person was not a traitor who only knew how to deal with power. However, he would rather An Shouzhong be a complete traitor who doesn't know the big picture.
"Da Xi Xianggong arrived one step earlier, and he also saw this thing, right?"
As he spoke, An Shouzhong waved the rough yellowed papyrus in his hand.
"Qin Jin's gang is full of tricks and has concocted an inexplicable 'war criminal list', and you and I are on top of it. β
It turned out that the main content of this "leaflet" was to affirm that only the 49 "war criminals" on the list would be investigated for the current breach of the city, and that all the rest, regardless of the officials and the people, would be prosecuted! Among them, An Qingxu, as the number one criminal, ranked first, and An Shouzhong was the secretary of the Zhongshu Order.
Da Xixun opened his mouth and laughed dryly.
"Thanks to the high opinion of the surname Qin, a certain person is actually among the top three!"
An Shouzhong's eyes spewed with anger, and he waved his arms exaggeratedly.
"Didn't Da Xi Xianggong realize the seriousness of this?"
Da Xixun raised his head and looked at An Shouzhong with some puzzlement.
"Nonsense, how can it be fatal?"
An Shouzhong stomped his foot again.
"How can you not die, except for the forty-nine people on this list, which of the rest of the people can guarantee that they will not have different hearts?"
This is true, as long as the people who are not on the list will not be held accountable, if there is a meritorious act, they can even be rewarded, if this news spreads in the city, who is willing to defend the city with their own strength? It's a big deal to wait for the Tang soldiers to break the city, and they will turn against each other!
An Shouzhong was really anxious, stomped his feet and tore his throat and shouted:
"Your Majesty, the ministers are loyal and have an urgent military visit!"
actually didn't even care about the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, according to the convention, the yellow door should be responsible for such a roll call.
Sure enough, the yellow door was frightened, and pleaded bitterly:
"An Xianggong is asking for the life of the slave and maid, if His Majesty knows, he will definitely kill the slave and maid!"
Everyone knows that An Qingxu is moody, and it is easier to kill the eunuchs around him than to kill a chicken, without even blinking his eyes.
An Shouzhong had always hated these eunuchs, so he threw them out.
"Don't stop the old man, the society will be lost, what's the use of keeping a dog's life?"
Seeing this, Da Xixun, who was following An Shouzhong, couldn't help but be awe-inspired, and said in his heart This is the true face of An Shouzhong, the image of those good people and cowards in the past, I am afraid that they were deliberately shown to paralyze political enemies.
An Qingxu was almost startled from his sleep, and after returning to the private mansion, the nightmare did not end, and he was tormented until the sun was three poles before he fell asleep, and it was at this time that An Shouzhong woke him up rudely.
"Your Majesty, a catastrophe is coming!"
One sentence blocked all An Qingxu's anger......
