Guo Ziyi was also stunned, and Li Cao's appearance also surprised him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"You, how are you here?"

It turned out that when Li Cao joined the army as a Longwu army under Chen Xuanli, he met Guo Ziyi because of official business, although the age difference between the two was more than 20 years and their status was very different, they became friends because of their similar temperaments. Guo Ziyi later sought the errand of the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu from Yang Guozhong, and had intended to let Li Cao go to Shuofang to show his strengths, but unexpectedly, the world changed impermanently, Tongguan suddenly fell, the Son of Heaven and important ministers fled westward, and the building will fall for a while, who can take care of Guo Ziyi's edict that has not yet completed the process?

Until later, the situation changed, Yang Guozhong was killed in Ma Weiyi, Li Heng returned to Chang'an, and ascended the throne under the protection of Qin Jin and others, Guo Ziyi's fate also changed completely, not only the errand of Shuo Fang Jiedu's deputy envoy was gone, but also was named Yang Guozhong's chief henchman of the party, and he was imprisoned, and even almost beheaded in a daze.

Fortunately, thanks to the appearance of Qin Jin, he was able to escape with his life.

The reversal of fate came too suddenly, Guo Ziyi didn't take into account her personal feelings for a while, but when she suddenly saw her old friend, all kinds of tastes that had been buried deep in her heart immediately came up, and her eyes were faintly red.

"It's a long story, I can't imagine that after going around in a big circle, you and my brother will still be loyal to the country in one place!"

The alarm was lifted, and all the rebels were driven to the city, and those who remained in the city were reduced to corpses.

After Li Cao understood what Guo Ziyi had been experiencing for a while, he was immediately indignant.

"It must be Li Fuguo's old eunuch who is getting in the way!"

In fact, Qin Jin has always been strange about why Guo Ziyi became Yang Guozhong's main rebel against the party, and almost all of Yang Guozhong's henchmen died in Ma Weiyi and fled. Naturally, those who stayed in Chang'an City were also peripheral figures. Moreover, Guo Ziyi is an official and a general, with a very good official reputation, and he is also very low-key, even if he has a relationship with Yang Guozhong, he should be pardoned in fairness, and even if he can't be pardoned, he will not die for his crime.

Hearing Li Fuguo's name from Li Cao's mouth, Qin Jin immediately felt no wonder.

Li Fuguo, a eunuch, is also a figure who has a sweet mouth and a sword, and he must repay him. Although this person has now formed a political alliance with Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army, and the fight is hot, after all, it is a combination of interests, which does not mean that he also agrees with the character of this goods.

However, Qin Jin immediately frowned tightly. If Guo Ziyi's punishment involves Li Fuguo, it will be very tricky. Since Li Fuguo is planning to kill Guo Ziyi, he must come up with a strong reason to protect him.

Li Cao saw Qin Jin's face frowning, so he said:

"Li Fuguo harbors evil intentions, if the doctor doesn't get rid of this thief earlier, he will be a big disaster for the country in the future!"

Qin Jin smiled bitterly, Li Cao's insight is really not bad, after the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs were autocratic, and the abolition of the emperor at every turn began with Li Fuguo. Historically, Tang Suzong Li Heng no longer trusted the minister to be in charge of the army because of the Anshi Rebellion, and handed over the power of the forbidden army to the eunuchs, but he was sick and bedridden in his later years, and Li Fuguo, who held the power of the forbidden army, took the opportunity to launch a palace rebellion and eliminated his political opponent Empress Zhang, but Li Heng was also frightened to death in the palace rebellion.

How sad it is that the dignified emperor was frightened to death by the eunuchs.

However, knowing that Li Fuguo was an immature wolf, Li Heng's trust and dependence on this person was not weaker than that of Qin Jin, and unless Qin Jin could also launch a mutiny to kill him, it would be impossible to eradicate him by legitimate means. Moreover, Qin Jin also clearly realized that now is not the time for internal strife at all, and between internal and external troubles, we must do our best to bridge the forces of all parties, so that we can be unanimous with the outside world.

Since Li Fuguo took the initiative to show goodwill, how could he kill this person with jealousy and hatred in disregard of his immediate situation? This will not do the slightest benefit in the current crisis except to turn the situation that has just stabilized the DPRK into turmoil.

Guo Ziyi immediately understood part of the meaning from Qin Jin's complicated gaze, and immediately said:

"If the doctor is really embarrassed, why is Guo afraid of death? The important thing is that the court can no longer help tossing!"

Qin Jin knew in his heart that Li Cao and Guo Ziyi's identities and ages were very different, and they naturally had similarities in being able to become old friends, but the two had distinct personalities, the former was righteous and radical. The latter is wise and calm. Comparatively speaking, Guo Ziyi is more able to entrust with big things.

"Don't worry, even if Qin Mou fights for his official position, he will enable the good minister to show his strengths!"

Qin Jin rarely made promises to others, saying this is tantamount to asking Guo Ziyi for a ticket, not only to strive to make him innocent, but also to let him show his strengths.

In an instant, Guo Ziyi's eyes were hot and her nose was sore, and the grievances and pains she had suffered for more than a month came up in one fell swoop. In the face of torture and coercion from political opponents, he has never shown weakness from beginning to end, but even if he is a strong man, he has weaknesses. Qin Jin and he had never known each other before, but he could do this, how could he not be moved?

Guo Ziyi is not a person who is good at expressing emotions, but at this time, he will not easily say a word of thanks to Qin Jin, but secretly made up his mind that he must assist this person to achieve a great cause, restore the two capitals, and revive the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!

"Let's go up to town!"

Qin Jin didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, the matter of the lawsuit with Li Fuguo would have to be decided by Li Heng sooner or later, and it was impossible for Li Cao and Guo Ziyi to help in the slightest.

The group climbed the city wall along the road, and Guo Ziyi was really surprised.

By this time, most of the smoke had cleared, and the outside of the city, which should have been a white snowfield, was now full of deep pits of various sizes, filled with the corpses of the rebels, and the blue and black were cold and hard for a long time. In addition, many broken siege equipment were discarded, and you can imagine what kind of catastrophe the land outside the city has experienced in the past month.

Soldiers on the city walls were clearing the battlefield as the corpses of the rebels were carried into the city. Li Cao was surprised:

"Wouldn't it be easy to push the corpses of these Hu soldiers down the city, and what was the reason for moving them into the city?"

Guo Ziyi smiled bitterly:

"This is a preparation for a long time, if all the corpses are pushed down the city, the weather will warm up in the spring of the next year, and all the corpses will rot, and it will be strange if there is no plague! The best way is to move to the city and burn them all!"

Qin Jin took Guo Ziyi and Li Cao on foot, at least ten miles, on the walls of the western city of Chang'an, before returning to the city along the Yongdao from another city gate.

Back in the barracks, Qin Jin talked to Li Cao and Guo Ziyi again, and was about to pack up and go to the palace to report today's results to Li Heng, and plead for Guo Ziyi by the way. Suddenly, a messenger arrived, a messenger from the east of the river.

This messenger was none other than the domestic slave that Qin Jin brought to the army, Qin Yan.

The plan that Qin Jin contacted with Hedong Lu Qi and Pei Jing was very important, and even involved the merits and defeats of the First Battle of Chang'an, and Qin Yan was tested by the Great Battle of Hedong and was competent for this task. What's more, he screened a circle in the Shenwu army in Chang'an, and compared to the Tongluo Division, which was mostly Hu people, only this person was the most suitable.

Moreover, Qin Jin has always believed in the principle of employing people to make the best use of them, and only by putting the right people in the right position will there be a positive effect, otherwise......

Wuhu Huai is loyal to his name, once he recognizes Qin and Jin, his loyalty is far greater than that of those Han ministers who keep talking about monarchs and ministers. Therefore, the cavalry of the Tongluo Department is like a sharp knife in Qin Jin's hand, no matter how difficult it is, as long as this sharp knife is stabbed out, it will inevitably make the opponent bloody.

In the more than a month of the battle of Chang'an, Qin Jin did not send the cavalry of the Tongluo Department once, in order to wait for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but this opportunity now seems to be far away.

"Both General Lu and General Pei said that everything was ready, and they would start acting as soon as the agreed date arrived. Specifically, it's all written in the letter......"

Qin Jin looked at Qin Yan, in just half a year, this person changed from Qin Gou'er to Qin Yan, and when reporting the military situation, he gradually began to adapt to not smiling. It seems that the decision to bring him out was not wrong in the first place.

"Okay, your brothers are also tired, go back and rest well, and then there are more important tasks to be handed over to you!"

Hearing Qin Jin say this, Qin Yan immediately revealed his original form, grinned and said:

"Please rest assured, the dog will not disappoint the lord......! When will it be cashed out?"

Qin Jin raised his foot and wanted to kick him, but Qin Yan deftly avoided it, turned around and left, leaving only a burst of laughter outside.

The exchange between the master and servant made Li Guo and the others stunned, such a connivance of domestic slaves exceeding the etiquette system, only Qin Jin can do it. Li Cao was originally an eclectic person, but he felt that Qin Jin had a true temperament and treated the house slaves so closely, not to mention those who were bent on defecting?

Yes, when he looked at Qin Jin again, there was more brilliance in his eyes. It was hard to imagine that Qin Jin, who had always been unsmiling, had another side.

Qin Jin opened the letterhead sent back by Qin Yan and read it carefully, then he raised his head and said to Li Guo and the others who were waiting:

"I know that both of you have a common question in your minds, that is, in addition to holding on to Chang'an, there is another strategy! Let me tell you now......

"Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor, is it possible? The Son of Heaven has an edict!"

The eunuch's high-pitched and sharp voice sounded out of place at an inopportune time. The Son of Heaven has an edict, of course it can't be delayed, Qin Jin motioned for the two to stay inside, and he went out to receive the edict first.

"The Son of Heaven has issued an edict, please enter the palace immediately!"

The eunuch's tone was very flustered, Qin Jin's heart suddenly sank, and he didn't know what had happened in the palace, so he stepped forward to ask the reason.

Unexpectedly, the eunuch wanted to speak and stopped, and finally only swallowed:

"Doctor Yu Shi will know when he goes, ......"

Qin Jin's brows suddenly jumped, these eunuchs used to see themselves, which time was not a happy answer, now he is so swallowed, what is the matter, he is confused!
