Chapter 10: Night into Feldspar Township

"The guilty man comes to see Shaofujun!"

In front of him was a mild-mannered-looking young man, bowing deeply to the ground, and it was difficult for Qin Jin to classify him with the reckless man who pulled the flag and rebelled. However, a person's appearance may not be able to represent his heart, just like the Fan Bolong in front of him, although he has the style of a Confucian, but who can guarantee that a pair of skins is not wrapped in treacherous and cunning?

"Give you a quarter of an hour, if you can't come up with a reasonable explanation, next year today will be your sacrifice day!"

From Fan Bolong, Qin Jin didn't find fear, and he didn't even show signs of begging for mercy, he decided to give him a dismount first.

"It is indeed a capital offense to go down. Fan Bolong was deeply stunned again, "Jia Yan is confused, and he came down to see Shaofujun to make up for this mistake, if Shaofujun can open the net, even if he goes down, he will apologize immediately, and he will die!"

Qin Jinzhi thought that there was something wrong with his ears, and asked Fan Changming, a townsman, if he openly betrayed the Tang Dynasty, and with the sincerity and filial piety of only one son, he could be exempted from capital crimes? If this kind of absurd thing could have existed in the Han Dynasty, which advocated filial piety, but unfortunately this was the Tang Dynasty, how could the crime of rebellion be easily offset? What's more, even if it could be offset, he did not intend to let Fan Changming and others go.

In this regard, Qin Jin was noncommittal, and only stared at him, as if he was looking at a funny person.

Fan Bolong seemed to realize Qin Jin's attitude, and immediately said: "Come here tonight, I am willing to give away 100,000 stone corn from Changshi Township, and I just ask Shaofu Junnian to open up the net for the sake of being strict and confused at home!"

100,000 stone corn?

Fan Bolong's words surprised Qin Jin. This amount is about to catch up with the grain stored in the Xin'an County government treasury, and a mere Changshi Township can actually hoard as much grain as much, is what this person said true or false? Even if it is true, who can guarantee that he did not use this as a bait to collude with the soldiers and lure the Xin'an Tang army into the urn?

Qin Jin wanted to test Fan Bolong's true intentions, and he didn't say anything.

"I don't know what I want Qin to do if I say this, what do you want Qin to do?"

Fan Bolong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Doesn't Shaofujun still see the stakes in this? Once the 100,000 stone corn falls into the hands of the Fanhu rebels, it will be a big deal for my Tang Dynasty." How much grain is there in Xin'an, and how long can it support without these 100,000 stone corn?" Speaking of this, his voice was already trembling faintly, and Qin Jin keenly captured this change.

"The Fanhu rebels burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, once they really captured Xin'an, how could they finish their eggs under the nest? The elders of this county will definitely be poisoned...... Fan Bolong's voice became more and more urgent, and his face suddenly turned red, and he was a little excited. "Shaofujun only needs to send someone to transport these 100,000 stone corn to Xin'an, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings?"

100,000 stone corn is indeed a lot, but compared to Hanjiacang in Luoyang City, it is a drop in the bucket, it is said that Hanjiacang has 5 million stone of grain. Feng Changqing once vaguely mentioned to Qin Jin that when the army was defeated and withdrew, he ordered the granary to be burned so that the grain would not be obtained by the rebels, so what An Lushan got was only a granary that had become ashes.

"Do you think that this little Xin'an, with thousands of united soldiers, can block An Lushan's 100,000 iron cavalry?"

Qin Jin's voice became colder and colder.

"What, can't you hold it?" Fan Bolong seemed to be taken aback, "Didn't it mean that His Majesty the Emperor had appointed Dr. Gao as the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and raised 200,000 troops out of Tongguan, and he was about to arrive in Xin'an in the near future?"

This is what Qin Jin asked the county court officials to preach inside and outside Xin'an County, in order to boost the morale of the army and the people. The real situation is that Gao Xianzhi was hesitant after he walked to Shaanzhou, because there was still enough Taiyuan Cang to compare with Luoyang Hanjiacang.

"Since Ling Zun has the heart to make up for his sins, why don't you send someone to send food to Xin'an to take the guilt?" It seems that this Fan father and son have no good intentions.

Thinking of this, Qin Jin's face quickly turned cold, and he didn't even have any interest in continuing to talk to this person. It is true that 100,000 stone of grain is extremely important to both the rebels and the Tang army, but he does not believe in this Fan Bolong, and he will not put himself and his soldiers in danger because of this person's words.

After that, Qin Jin waved his hand without waiting for him to answer, and immediately a united soldier who was eyeing him stepped forward to grab Fan Bolong and dragged him out.

Fan Bolong didn't expect Qin Jin to suddenly turn his face, and blurted out in shock and anxiety: "Shaofujun is leaving under suspicion...... Please Shaofujun take a look at the contents of the backpack box, and you can know the sincerity of the next walk......" Then he turned to Chen Qianli, who had been standing silently behind Qin Jin, "Chen Shilang, you have something to say, do you also think that I am this kind of person?"

During the struggle, there was room for the wooden box to fall, but Qin Jin didn't pay attention to it, and still ordered someone to drag Fan Bolong down.

At this time, Chen Qianli, who had been silent, picked up the wooden box, and slowly pulled the wooden box away, and suddenly his body shook, the wooden box fell to the ground, and a frozen head rolled out.

"It's Fan Zhonglong!"

Chen Qianli naturally knew Fan Changming's second son, and it was this person's head that was contained in this box.

After a long time, Chen Qianli came back to his senses and said slowly: "What Fan Bolong said is from the bottom of his heart, and I don't know ......."

"Oh?"

Qin Jin didn't understand others, but he attached great importance to Chen Qianli's words, and furrowed his brows, intending to listen to his words.

It turned out that Chen Qianli and Fan Bolong were classmates and friends, and they had always had a good relationship, which was one of the reasons why Qin Jin and Fan Bolong had a conversation, but he never spoke. But when he saw Fan Bolong carrying the bloody head of his younger brother to see Qin Jin on his back, he felt that he should not avoid suspicion at this time no matter what, when there is one to say one, there are two to say.

Fan Bolong's sincerity and filial piety, Chen Qianli was convinced, and he asked himself if he had been friends with him for more than ten years, and he would never look at the wrong person. I am afraid that Fan Bolong is pure and good-natured, and he will be deceived and bewitched by his father Fan Changming. Also, he had also seen the granary in Changshi Township with his own eyes, and the scale was indeed not small, and he didn't expect to accumulate 100,000 stone corn.

"Shaofu Jun, please recall Fan Bolong and let him explain in person......"

“…… Erlang was reckless by nature, annoyed the Fanhu rebels who were frustrated in Xin'an, and lost his life, Jiayan has now realized how outrageous the previous mistake was, regretted not being at the beginning, and knew that Shaofujun would definitely not believe what he said, so he specially ...... Erlang Jiro's Head ...... Presented with Shaofu Jun ......"

Speaking of which, Fan Bolong, who had been trying to maintain his dignity, finally couldn't help but burst into tears and howled.

When everyone present saw this, they all sighed.

After a long time, Fan Bolong wiped away his tears and choked up: "Jia Yan does intend to order the villagers to transport corn to the county seat, but he has brought out 3,000 Ding Zhuang at the cost of half a yuan per ding...... But not even half of the people who came back, the villagers made a fuss, and no one except for the Fan family would listen to Jia Yan's words anymore. ”

At such a juncture, Fan Bolong didn't care about hiding it for his father, and told the truth and his discernment.

"What? Qin Shaofu listened to the words of the spy and wanted to send someone out of the city to transport grain?"

Zheng Xianli got up abruptly from the couch, he could even see such clumsy tricks, how could the county lieutenant who boasted of being a bit of a bit of a strategy not see through it? He was entrusted by Feng Changqing to return to Xin'an to assist Qin Jin in defending the city, so naturally he could not sit back and watch Qin Jin die by himself.

didn't even care about getting dressed, Zheng Xianli rushed out of the door, the heavy snow had stopped, and when he came to the school field, he saw that hundreds of united soldiers had been gathered together, and the school captain Qi Bihe was talking at the top of his throat. And that county lieutenant Qin Jin was also wearing armor, and he seemed to be going out of the city in person.

Although the united soldiers had spent a lot of physical strength after a day of defending the city, after half a night's rest, most of their physical strength had recovered, and at this time, under the leadership of Qi Bihe, they even had a lot of morale.

"What does Shaofujun mean by this?"

Qin Jin saw Zheng Xianli, who was hurrying over, and bowed.

"General Zheng came just in time, and the city defense commander asked the general. ”

He specially sent someone to inform Zheng Xianli, this person had followed Feng Changqing through countless battles in the Western Regions, and had extremely rich combat experience, with this person, I believe that the situation will not be worse than when he was there.

"Thieves have traps, Shaofujun can't be gullible!" Zheng Xianli saw Qin Jin's resolute gaze, and said: "Take a step back, Shaofujun can't take risks lightly, why don't you send a powerful person to go?"

Qin Jin also has no way, although Qi Bihe is brave, it is a pity that he is brave and unstrategic, and it is not suitable to lead the army out of the city alone to carry out the task, not to mention that Ding Zhuang who guards the city is inseparable from his command, Zheng Xianli is a foreigner after all, and he is afraid that Ding Zhuang may not be willing to obey all of them in a hurry. Chen Qianli is resourceful and indecisive, this kind of character is obviously not suitable for leading alone, once he is in adversity, he is likely to lose everyone's lives because of a mistake.

As for Zheng Xianli, if he and Qin Jin are not subordinate to each other, they are not considered, not to mention that they are strongly opposing it at the moment!

"100,000 stone corn, enough for the Xin'an army and people to hold on for more than a month, this risk is worth taking! Please General Zheng must not shirk the heavy responsibility of being in charge of the city defense!"

Qin Jin looked confident, which made Zheng Xianli wonder if there was any reason that he didn't know.

Outside the city, the snow was knee-deep, and the snow did not even reach the thighs in the leeward area, and the distance of five miles was a full hour for eight hundred united soldiers. The granary of Changshi Township is close to the Kusaka Mountains, and the terrain is very high, even if it is flooded, it will not be able to flood here. However, it may not be a good place now, once the soldiers advance to Changshi Township, this place will bear the brunt of the danger of the war.

Facing the huge granary, Qin Jin couldn't help but sigh and admire, although Fan Changming's old husband was hateful, he did have a set of food accumulation.

"Each person will be filled with thirty catties of grain, and the rest will be burned!"

Seeing that there were a lot of empty sacks piled up outside the granary, Qin Jin added another sentence before the original order.

Fan Bolong, who was in charge of leading the way, was shocked when he heard this, and immediately stopped: "Isn't Shaofujun going to transport grain back to the city?

Qin Jin had no intention of transporting the grain back to Xin'an at all, one was short of manpower, the second was heavy snow and the road was closed, and the third was that the soldiers were not injured and would come back at any time. To transport 100,000 stone corn to Xin'an is simply an impossible task. He came out this time to burn all this grain, and not a single grain could fall into the hands of the rebels.

In an agrarian society, people regard food as their life, except for a very few people who have the determination to burn so much food. The vast majority of people will react as Van Bolong would do at this moment. Qin Jin believes that Chen Qianli is like this, Qi Bihe is like this, but he is afraid that Zheng Xianli is the same.
