Chapter 5: Who Doesn't See History
Feng Changqing put down the saddle in his hand, he wanted to meet the messenger from Beizhou in person, and confirm the authenticity of this person's identity. Second, if the fifteen counties of Hebei Province really join forces to start an incident, he must have a detailed understanding of the specific situation in Hebei Province.
"That nerd really got right, he didn't talk nonsense, did he?"
If the news brought by the Beizhou messenger is true, it means that Feng Changqing lost to Qin Jin, and Zheng Xianli did not want to see his benefactor lose to a nerd.
"Don't talk nonsense, Qin Shaofu's judgment is reasonable!"
Is Feng Changqing the kind of person who cares about winning or losing a gambling contract? A gambling contract like this, which is greatly beneficial to the imperial court, is willing to lose 1,000 or 10,000 yuan.
"Beizhou Li Cao meets the doctor!"
The messenger was about twenty years old, and he dared to sneak over the rebel territory and go to Chang'an to deliver a letter. Feng Changqing asked a few questions, and Li Cao answered them all perfectly, especially when talking about sending a letter to Yan Zhenqing in Pingyuan County, he also praised him for his decision and wisdom. Feng Changqing once had a relationship with Yan Zhenqing, and correspondingly, he was even more convinced that Li Cao's identity was true, but even if Li Cao's identity was not false, how could he confirm that the news of the twenty-four counties of Hebei Province was true anyway?
Li Cao was keenly aware of Feng Changqing's doubts about himself, opened the personal baggage, took out a piece of paper from it, and handed it to him.
"This is Chang Shan Yan's rebellious text, and the doctor will know at a glance whether what the villain said is true or false!"
This article is written in a majestic manner, and reading it makes people's blood boil, and at first glance it is written by a famous artist. Chang Shan is too shou Yan Gaoqing is a descendant of the Holy Yan Hui, the article is the best in the world, and Feng Chang has been convinced since then.
"Is it to report the good news to the imperial court?" Qin Jin asked.
The smile on Li Cao's face was quickly replaced by worry: "It is true that I want to report the good news, but it is not the point." The imperial court must send a team of men and horses to help Yan Zixin and others in Hebei Province, and appoint an ambassador to coordinate the overall situation, otherwise they have no soldiers in their hands, and they are scattered sand, not subordinate to each other, and they will not be able to hold out for long in front of Shi Siming's iron cavalry. He sighed, "It's just that a certain person is humble and light, but I don't know if the temple masters are willing to adopt ......."
His words made Qin Jin secretly surprised, he didn't expect that someone had already suggested to Li Longji in this era that he should take the opportunity to send troops to Hebei. I don't know how Li Longji dealt with it, and after Li Guangbi entered Hebei Province with the Shuofang army, the heads of Yan Gaoqing and others had already been cut off by An Lushan.
It was only at this time that Feng Changqing re-examined Qin Jin, perhaps because his prejudice against civil officials affected his judgment.
"Feng will personally write to the deputy marshal today......" He thought about it and then rejected the proposal, "It's better to go in person, many things may not be clear in the letter." Feng Changqing had already decided that he was willing to gamble and lose, and he wanted to persuade Gao Xianzhi to send a force to Hebei Province for support.
Qin Jin, on the other hand, almost blurted out, "Doctor, no!" If Feng Changqing is allowed to return to Tongguan, won't the development of things coincide with the pace of history? At this moment, a bold idea jumped out of Qin Jin's mind. If Feng Changqing is asked to go to Hebei Province, isn't this the most suitable person?
Soon, he was a little frustrated, and although it was a good idea, there were too many difficulties in implementing it. First of all, Feng Changqing is now the commander of the army that lost his division and land, and the imperial court will definitely punish the crime according to the usual practice. But now it is about the fall of the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Feng Changqing not only has to bear responsibility for the military defeat, but also has to bear political responsibility.
Now Feng Changqing can no longer decide his fate, once the emperor's envoy leaves Chang'an City, all Qin Jin can do is to prevent Feng Changqing from meeting with the envoy. In other words, it is almost impossible for Feng Changqing to go to Hebei through legal channels, so is there a way to get the best of both worlds? After pondering for a while, he was still at a loss.
"Does Qin Shaofu have a better suggestion?"
Feng Changqing was very strange, didn't Qin Jin always hope that he would persuade Gao Xianzhi to send troops north? Why did he react so much when he mentioned returning to Guanzhong in the west?
Qin Jin didn't know how to answer this question, could it be said that he was going to die and had no place to be buried? He believed that with Feng Changqing's mind, he might not be able to have a premonition about his future. This matter can only be considered in the long run.
"Xia Guan thinks that having a doctor's handwritten letter should be enough!"
Early the next morning, Li Cao left Xin'an and went straight to Guanzhong. The good news that Hebei Province is about to recover the whole territory has spread throughout the city, and for a while, the dark clouds that have shrouded the whole city for several days seem to have been swept away, as if the defeat of An Lushan has been within reach. On weekdays, there are few people on the streets, and there are also pedestrians.
From the county court to the East City Gate, and then from the East City Gate to the county court, Qin Jin had to walk this road no less than six times a day, one back and forth in the morning, noon and evening. Today's training subject of the united soldiers is the left front straight stab, the tactical movement is very simple, six horizontal rows stand shoulder to shoulder tightly, hold the long pole and stab over and over again.
On the way, Qin Jin could clearly feel that the tense atmosphere in the city had been greatly eased. And even the people around him, from Chen Qianli to Qi Bihe, these right-hand men are full of blind confidence in the current situation, and it would have been a good thing to have self-confidence, but if they relaxed their vigilance against the city defense because of this, it would not be a good thing, but a bad thing.
It is precisely because of the instability of the situation in Hebei Province that An Lushan urgently needs Luoyang to stabilize, and Xin'an, who controls Luoyang's road to Chang'an, must be taken down as soon as possible.
He decided to convene a military meeting with all the officials in the county court, the main purpose of which was to remind them that Xin'an might be facing a major attack by the rebels.
Si Huzuo counted the strong men in the county, and the number of people who could be used was roughly around 5,000. If the selection range is further expanded, this number can rise to 8,000.
Qin Jin was very disappointed with this data, a county in the Tang Dynasty could only find 8,000 people to fight, but it was enough to defend the city.
After listening to Si Huzuo's report, Qin Jin set his eyes on Si Bingzuo again.
"How's the progress of the elimination of vacancies?"
"Back to Shaofujun, all the people in the city have been cleaned up, but there are still more than 300 people scattered in the townships on the east and west sides of Xin'an City, which is not easy to dispose of. ”
This reminded Qin Jin that he had been going to move the people in the east of the city to the city or to the west of the city, and now that the situation was imminent, this plan must also be put on the agenda.
"The errand of clearing the vacancy can be stopped first, Sihu and Si Bing are jointly responsible for recruiting strong men in the county, the rebels may be imminent, this matter should be fast, the sooner the better!" Regarding the matter of clearing the vacancy of the unity army, Qin Jin later felt that the handling was a bit hasty, and the matter was urgent, and the rush to clear the vacancy now is definitely not conducive to unity internally and externally, not to mention that those who have the ability to deceive on the register of unity soldiers are basically the reputation of the rich households in the county.
Offending these people may not be beneficial to their own plans, but if they join forces, they will definitely be able to block the county court.
"Could it be that Shaofujun thinks that the rebels will attack the city in a big way?"
Among the officials present, only Chen Qianli knew Qin Jin's mind better, and he had now been transferred from the position of Si Bingzuo to be in charge of the errand of the chief bookkeeper in the city. Because in the previous chaos, the main book has been lost, because the high-ranking officials have anointed the soles of their feet, he can only promote some people from his trusted assistants to take charge of the daily affairs of the county court, so it is also killing two birds with one stone.
Qin Jin nodded solemnly, "The foot soldiers will march from Luoyang to Xin'an, and they can be reached in two days, maybe tonight will be the last peaceful night in Xin'an!"
After assigning a lot of affairs, the assistants of each Cao left one after another. Qin Jin thought for a while, and felt that the transfer of the people involved too much, and he still couldn't rest assured that only the two Cao officials of the soldiers and households were not at ease, so he asked Chen Qianli to follow and deal with it together, as long as he persuaded the local township, Lifu, and Lizheng, everything would be easy to do.
Just after noon, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the county court hall, and after a while, half of his head was revealed outside the door, it was Qin Jin who arranged for Feng Changqing and his party to eat and live in the pavilion. His appearance gave Qin Jin a hint of foreboding.
"Doctor Feng took the people away, and the subordinates, the subordinates couldn't stop them, and they tied them up. The officer bowed and said in a reluctance to say.
Qin Jin's heart chuckled suddenly, as if he had lost something, Feng Changqing was still gone, and he tried his best to change his bad luck, did he still fall short?
"This is a handwritten letter left by Dr. Feng!"
Unfolding the letter, the handwriting is strong through the back of the paper, Feng Changqing explained in the letter that it was difficult for him to do anything if he stayed in Xin'an City, and he was responsible for the destruction of the entire army and the loss of the Eastern Capital, and many things were involuntarily, if he continued to hide in Xin'an, he might also bring trouble to Qin Jin. And when he goes to Gao Xianzhi's army, he can fully operate the matter of sending troops to Hebei, and take advantage of the fact that the emperor's envoy is not out of Chang'an, maybe he can also get some reinforcements for Xin'an.
The paper is full of sadness, which makes people sigh, the current situation can create heroes, and it also destroys heroes, is this still the Feng Changqing who "went to Tokyo and counted the days to take the head of the rebel Hu"?
"Do you want to send someone to chase after you?"
The assistant couldn't figure out Qin Jin's thoughts, and asked tentatively. Qin Jin waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to chase him, since Feng Changqing had made up his mind, even if he caught up with him, he would not come back. It's just that once this goes, whether it will become an eternal secret, Qin Jin doesn't dare to guarantee.
At the time of Shen Zheng, the situation suddenly deteriorated, and Chen Qianli fled back with a few assistants in embarrassment, and several people were all kinds of minor and serious injuries, but fortunately, there was no danger of life.
"Oh no, the Sifu of Changshi Township colluded with the rebels to rebel!"
What? Even the townsfolk did the opposite? Qin Jin was taken aback. It's really a wave of unevenness!
"How many rebels are there?"
Concentrate:
Sifu: In the Tang Dynasty, he was a miscellaneous officer, which can be understood as the current township chief, but not an official.
