Chapter 286: The Son of Heaven beats the drums of war

Lu Qi's suggestion Qin Jin felt that it was not impossible to give it a try, and it was a pity that Yang Xingben's kinship with Yang Guozhong was not used at this time.

"I'm afraid that Yang Er, he really fell to Yang Guozhong's old thief, will we be considered stealing chickens or rice at that time?"

A gloomy voice spit out from Lu Qi's mouth, but Qin Jin didn't think so, not to mention that Yang Xingben was disgusted with Yang Guozhong and others in his heart, even if Yang Xingben really defected to Yang Guozhong, for the Shenwu Army, it was just a hidden danger that could explode at any time.

"You're too suspicious, can't you still trust your brother?"

Qin Jin looked at Lu Qi, this young man's aura was completely different from Pei Jing and the others, exuding a chilling aura from the inside out, which was also extremely inconsistent with his age, as if he was like an old man in his forties and fifties.

But I heard Lu Qi answer coldly:

"I can trust Yang Er, he can't have a different heart for a while, but his wife is a short-sighted old woman, if it weren't for this old woman to get in the way tonight, Yang Er wouldn't have behaved like this!"

Qin Jin paused, if Yang Xingben's wife's position was so firm, it would be really a tricky matter, Yang Xingben usually looked cynical, but he was extremely filial, if his old lady messed around, I am afraid it would be really a trouble.

After thinking about it for a while, after Qin Jin returned to the public case, he picked up the pen and wrote a letter, and it took a moment to write a letter.

"Send a reliable person to send this letter to Yang Er and tell them to burn it immediately after reading it!"

Lu Qi took the letter that had just been sealed from Qin Jin's hand, bowed down and left.

This night, Qin Jin didn't even close his eyelids, and after Lu Qi left, there were captains in the army who came to Shuaitang one after another to respond to him.

After dawn, it was time for the army to start, and these people naturally had to prepare for the expedition as soon as possible, but compared to Qin Jin's full expectations, most people were a little depressed in their hearts. Because they seem to be ordered to go out on the surface, but even if they defeat Huangfu Ke and quell the Pujin Rebellion, it is difficult to have a chance to return to Chang'an, although Feng Yi and Chang'an are in Guanzhong and close to each other, but the latter is the center of the empire, and the former is just a seemingly important upper county, in comparison, how is it different from exile?

It's just that Qin Jin's prestige in the Shenwu Army has reached an unparalleled level, with his active advocacy, although the generals are a little frustrated, but they are also depressed, to be honest, each of them has a subconscious desire to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but some people don't know it yet.

As time passed, more and more captains gathered in the handsome hall appeared, and the drums in the barracks were gradually sounding, and everyone who was beating the drums of war was shocked, and the only bit of frustration seemed to be swept away.

"Each belongs to its own department, the roll call is completed, and the forbidden garden is opened one after another!"

Qin Jin's orders were issued one after another, and the Shenwu army would act in an orderly manner, although the sky was still dark, but it was getting closer and closer to the rising sun.

"The Edict of the Son of Heaven has arrived...... Please Qin envoy ......"

In the midst of the trumpets of the generals in the army, the sharp voice of the eunuch suddenly sounded.

It turned out to be the edict of the Son of Heaven arrived, Qin Jin felt strange, the Son of Heaven had an edict delivered at this moment, I don't know what happened?

"Qin envoy, the Son of Heaven has an edict, after dawn, he will personally lead hundreds of officials to make a strong trip!"

Qin Jin was greatly surprised, although the Son of Heaven had said that he would march for the Shenwu Army before, but there has been no movement since then, he thought that the Son of Heaven was just saying it casually, and he didn't expect it to be true, but it was still a little strange to be in such a hurry. If the Son of Heaven really wanted to personally lead a hundred officials to march for the army, there would be officials in the department who would arrange various matters in advance in the morning, how could he wait until this last moment to make a hasty edict?

But the words of the Son of Heaven are true, Qin Jin received the order to thank him, and the eunuch who conveyed the edict put on a smiling face again, and said very politely: "Congratulations to the envoy, such a pomp, even when the old minister Geshu led the teacher to the east, there was no one!"

Qin Jin bowed his hand back, this kind of dignity given by the Son of Heaven is sometimes a kind of capital that can be used, but sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing, but he couldn't turn dozens of thoughts in his mind in an instant, and he didn't think of any adverse impact on him and the Shenwu Army by the Son of Heaven's edict, and the conclusion was just the opposite, it was quite beneficial to them.

In this way, the morale of the officers and men under his command will inevitably be greatly improved, and on the other hand, it will also release a clear signal to the government and the opposition, breaking the rumor that the Shenwu Army is being degraded and going out. In other words, at this last moment, the Son of Heaven personally stood up for Qin Jin to clear up the rumors that had been in the dust recently.

Thinking of this, Qin Jin couldn't help but shake his head and smile. People are really a little cheap, and they are used to being suspicious and excluded by the Son of Heaven and the ministers, and they still feel awkward to get support today, and they don't believe it.

Although Qin Jin still didn't know much about the true thoughts of the Son of Heaven, at least one thing was certain, the Son of Heaven attached great importance to this expedition.

When the generals of the Shenwu Army heard that the Son of Heaven would lead a hundred officials to personally march for them, they were thunderous for a while, and the drums of war were also shocking to the sky.

Qin Jin's conjecture was indeed correct, when the sky was just white, a large number of Yulin Guard Forbidden Army drove to the Forbidden Garden one after another, followed by hundreds of eunuchs on horseback, and the last group of armor soldiers was surrounded by the Son of Heaven. To Qin Jin's surprise, the old Son of Heaven was dressed in a military uniform and was in good spirits, and everyone couldn't help but sigh when they saw it.

When the sky was dark, he personally came on top of the war horse to march for the army, and his sincerity can be seen.

Behind the Son of Heaven was also a large horse team, and the horses were not mounted by the forbidden soldiers, but by officials at all levels of the three provinces and six departments.

Pei Jing had been following Qin Jin closely, and he was very familiar with the regulatory process of various ceremonies in the court, and he could see at a glance that the Son of Heaven's feats today were outside the regulations.

"Envoy, the pomp and circumstance of the Son of Heaven today is very unusual. ”

Qin Jin nodded, it was nothing more than two possibilities, one was that he didn't care about them and could be perfunctory at will, and the other was to show his value and deliberately do amazing things. But what the Son of Heaven is doing today, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the latter.

Sure enough, Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, came to the front of the neat Shenwu army in front of the formation, and said loudly: "Today, the warriors will go on the expedition, and the emperor will protect me, and I am waiting for your triumphant return!"

After all, Li Longji is an old man in his seventies, and it is a little unbearable to sit down one after another with this series of actions, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, because there is still something that needs to be done.

I saw that the Tang Dynasty Tianzi turned over and dismounted, walked towards the drummer step by step, and then snatched the drumstick from the drummer, personally stepped on the platform made of wooden frames, and knocked down with a loud bang.

What a glory it is for the Son of Heaven to beat the drum himself.

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

As someone raised his arms and shouted, the sound of long live immediately resounded throughout the Forbidden Garden, and even Qin Jin was a little infected, feeling the passion in his chest drumming.

At this time, suddenly a soldier came to Qin Jin's side and whispered:

"Envoy, the government hall has allocated 200,000 arrows, which have arrived in the camp, and they are all on pack horse carts, and they can follow the brigade on the road at any time. ”

This is really exciting good news, before that, Qin Jin had been negotiating with the political affairs hall to ask for the allocation of arrows, but he had been delayed by officials at all levels under the pretext of prevarication. Even Wei Fangjin, who had always had a good relationship with Qin Jin, sighed and told him that there was Yang Guozhong's meaning behind this matter, although Gao Xianzhi was the nominal head of the prime minister, but the officials in the political hall were only Yang Guozhong's head, and there was no way to make Qin Jin die.

**'s field combat ability is strong, on the one hand, because ** has the advantage of the bow and crossbow, which can suppress the enemy, and on the other hand, it has excellent cavalry, with these two points, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing can crisscross in the Western Regions, and An Lushan can fight the Khitans all over the land in the land of Youyan. Now the cavalry of the Shenwu Army is an obvious shortcoming, if even the bow and crossbow can not be opened, it is equivalent to giving up the two major advantages of **.

Originally, Qin Jin planned to find a way on the spot after arriving at Feng Yi, but now it seems that Yang Guozhong's sudden gesture of goodwill has solved the urgent need between him and the Shenwu Army.

Just when the Son of Heaven was gritting his teeth and beating the drum, the good news came one after another.

In addition to the 200,000 arrows sent by Yang Guozhong on his own initiative, even Yu Chaoen personally sent a generous gift.

"Qin Envoy, this is the map of Heshuo and Shuo, and it has always been a forbidden inner file......"

Although this map is not accurate, it is only an extremely simple line outline, but Yu Chaoen is so good, how can Qin Jin not understand what he means? It's just that because the Son of Heaven is beating the drum hard, the soldiers are thunderous with joy, and it is not good to have an obvious gesture of goodwill with him on the spot, so he can only bow his hand normally.

"Thank you, Ambassador!"

Finally, after solemnly beating the sixteen snare drums, Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, threw the drumsticks on the ground, and the two eunuchs hurriedly boarded the prince to help him down. Who knew that Li Longji pushed the two eunuchs away, walked down step by step, turned over on the horse, and turned the horse to Qin Jin.

"Qin Qing, I pray for you from time to time in the Chang'an Society, put down the Pujin rebellion, and kill the thieves to make meritorious contributions!"

"The minister will never live up to the expectations of the saints!"

"Okay!

As the words of the Son of Heaven rang out, the sound of the horn immediately whined again, and the men and horses of the Shenwu Army began to march eastward in an orderly manner.

Qin Jin also clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the war horse rushed out, leaving Chang'an City far behind.
