Chapter 51: The mayfly shakes the tree
Zheng Xianli volunteered to cross the Yellow River to deliver a letter to Gao Xianzhi in person. However, Qin Jin did not agree to his request due to the shortage of manpower, but suggested that Zheng Xianli send a subordinate who had a relationship with Feng Changqing, preferably someone who knew him, to deliver the letter. In this way, you can save a lot of trouble caused by a weak foundation of trust.
"It's hard to say, everyone under the command of Dr. Feng knows it, just ask Chang Shijun to write a letter. ”
Qin Jin lifted the pen, and it took a long time before it fell. Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing led their troops to retreat to Hedong, and Qin and Jin's speculation was that they planned to make a detour back to Fengling Pass north of the Yellow River, and then cross the Yellow River south and turn into Tongguan, thus realizing his strategy of holding Tongguan tightly and waiting for the world to change.
If Feng Gao and the others return to Tongguan, they will enter the slaughterhouse like cattle and sheep, and their fate can be imagined. But after hesitating for a while, Qin Jin finally dispelled the news that Bian Lingcheng wanted to execute them in the edict of the Son of Heaven and told the truth.
Because Qin Jin was not sure, after they learned the news that their Son of Heaven was going to execute themselves, they would be determined to fight against the rebels for the Tang Dynasty, and it was unknown whether they would have the idea of supporting the army and respecting themselves. At such a critical juncture, if you think that his agitation makes the situation more complicated, it will be undesirable!
After having this kind of thought, Qin Jin only talked about Cui Qianyou, and never said a word of Bian Lingcheng and the edict of the Son of Heaven. Now Cui Qianyou is trapped by the mountain fire in a narrow strip of land west of Shaanzhou, north of Kunshan Mountain, and east of Tongguan. If Gao Xianzhi can lead his troops south and deal a fatal blow to the embarrassed and panicked Cui Qianyou, with such a great achievement, he will also give the Son of Heaven a step of mercy in the future.
During this period, the Qin and Jin made every effort to disrupt the situation east of Shaanzhou, and dealt a blow to the rebels in Kipshi and Michi according to the situation.
Detailing his plans one by one on the letter, Qin Jin picked up the letter paper with both hands, gently dried the ink, and carefully rolled it into a paper roll, stuffed it into the copper tube that had been prepared long ago, and then sealed the screw with wax, and then covered the uncooled wax seal with his personal seal. The wax seal is used for waterproofing and immersion, and the other can be used for secrecy, preventing the sender from revealing the secret and the recipient is not aware of it.
"Please send a proper person to cross the river to the north as soon as possible, and it must be handed over to Doctor Gao as soon as possible!"
Qin Jin solemnly confessed, Zheng Xianli stepped on heavy steps and retreated.
At this time, Qin Jin thought that there was still the general Du Qianyun who was ready to rebel against the Tang Dynasty to be disposed of, so he ordered someone to bring this guy over.
After a long day of calming down, Du Qianyun was no longer as panicked as before, but his face was still pale, his spirit was sluggish, his eyes were empty, and he was full of fear of the unknown.
After seeing Qin Jin, Du Qianyun knelt down in front of the young Changshi without saying a word, crying and crying bitterly.
"Chang Shijun give me another chance to go, go down and get confused, and the lard covers ......my heart" While crying, Du Qianyun hurriedly took a few steps on his knees, hugged Qin Jin's thigh, and begged bitterly.
Qin Jin said in his heart, if he wasn't in prison at this time, he was afraid that he would have turned into a rebel general, and it would be unknown if he turned the knife to burn and loot. How can you be like this, crying and behaving?
With this thought, the remaining bit of pity in Qin Jin's heart disappeared without a trace, and he kicked Du Qianyun away, and his eyes fell on him with disdain.
"The reason why Qin still has the patience to listen to your noise is because he has to listen to the big secret of that day, otherwise his head would have fallen to the ground at this moment, and blood would have been spattered on the execution ground!"
At this time, Du Qianyun was like grasping a life-saving straw, and wanted to step forward again, but when he saw Qin Jin's riding boots that he wanted to kick, he stopped again.
"Don't dare to hide it from Chang Shijun, I learned from Yang Xianggong that the Son of Heaven had issued an edict to execute Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, and Yang Xianggong had told me to go down and meet these two people nearby. Chang Shijun thought about it, did Gao Xianzhi have any good intentions after leaving him behind? It was nothing more than borrowing a knife to kill people, and he was desperate when he left, and he made such a big mistake for a while...... The Son of Heaven wants to make the old minister of Geshu replace Gao Xianzhi to command the army......"
Qin Jin had known this news for a long time, and Bian Lingcheng, who was carrying the edict of the Son of Heaven, might have died in the fire of Da Xian Mountain at this moment, or died at the hands of the rebels. It's just that Yang Guozhong also sent people to act as eyes and ears in Gao Xianzhi's army, which was beyond Qin Jin's expectations. However, after thinking about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand that Gao Xianzhi has served as a marshal in a border town for a long time, and has repeatedly made achievements in destroying the country, and he is used to flying high, except for the Son of Heaven, how can he obey the orders of the powerful ministers who rely on nepotism to get lucky? Yang Guozhong, as the head of the prime minister, if he cannot control the generals who lead the troops outside Tongguan at all, he will definitely have a sense of crisis that follows him like a shadow, and it is reasonable to send his eyes and ears to monitor the movements nearby.
It's a pity that the person entrusted by Yang Guozhong is such an unbearable rat generation, what big thing can he be? Qin Jin's heart moved, this Du Qianyun kept saying that he was Yang Guozhong's confidant, and he was nothing more than hoping that the fox fake tiger would spare his life, and he couldn't help but sneer when he thought of this.
"So what? Surrender the thief in battle, even if Yang Xianggong comes in person, he still has to take the first-level sacrificial flag under his feet!"
Seeing that his efforts were in vain, Du Qianyun had no choice but to plead again regardless of it: "Chang Shijun spares his life, and he will definitely speak well in front of the prime minister, even if he is promoted to the county guard with Chang Shijun's merits, it is not difficult!"
At this point, Qin Jin has already understood, and the dry goods in Du Qianyun's stomach have been completely emptied, and these secrets from the palace ministers will indeed be shocking in the eyes of ordinary officials. But what kind of person is Qin Jin? His soul does not belong to this world in the first place, and those who have penetrated deep into the bone marrow and fear the monarchy's power have never had a trace of space in it, how could he spare this killing because of a few words of news?
waved his hand, and immediately a guard pounced on him like a wolf, holding Du Qianyun's collar, dragging it backwards and going out of the door.
Du Qianyun felt that the end was coming, and he was so frightened that he even changed his voice hoarsely, and he couldn't hold back for a while, and the yellow and white things sprang out, and the room immediately smelled unpleasant.
"Chang Shijun, there is one more thing to go down, but you can wear the guilt and make meritorious service, just ask for your life under the knife!"
Qin Jin was still willing to believe it, so he only waved his hand impatiently, signaling the two hesitant guards to drag Du Qianyun, who was full of stinking gas, out and correct the law on the spot, so as to set an example.
"There are many correspondence with the Kip Shi guard, as long as there is a letter from the next go, the guard will bring troops to come, and when the time comes, let Chang Shijun kill him!"
"Slow ......"
Qin Jin wanted to say bring it back, but as soon as he smelled the stench of Du Qianyun's body, he changed his words and said, "It's just outside the door." Then his eyes suddenly froze, staring directly at Du Qianyun who was embarrassed on the ground.
"If there are lies and deception, believe it or not, Qin Mou cut you?"
Although his words were ruthless, Du Qianyun was like being amnestied, and excitedly promised: "If you say half a lie, you can't die well, and you can't live forever!"
Seeing Du Qianyun's virtue, Qin Jin was as uncomfortable as eating a fly, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't. Since coming to this world, among the people who have been in contact with him personally, such as Cui Qianyou, the commander of Xin'an County, Fan Changming, the husband of Changshi Township, Bian Lingcheng, the general of the prison gate, and the Tang general Du Qianyun in front of him, those who have heads, faces, identities and status are all such unbearable people, and from these people, where can we see the slightest sign of the prosperous Tang Dynasty?
Even famous generals such as Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing have lost their original courage and wisdom. Either the army was defeated like a mountain, or he avoided the battle again and again, and so on, Qin Jin's chest was like a ball of rags, he couldn't spit it out, he couldn't swallow it.
Qin Jin decided to give Du Qianyun another chance, if he could really take advantage of this to kill the Kip Shi guards, it would greatly deter the rebels in the Michi area.
"Take him down, clean up, and see Qin again!"
After several confrontations, Qin Jin could see that this Du Qianyun did not have a word of truth in his mouth, if it wasn't for his death, there was really no way, and he might not have confided in the fact that he had already colluded with the rebel generals.
Du Qianyun obediently wrote to the guard general of Kip Shi in accordance with Qin Jin's request, stating that Gao Xianzhi had already burned down the Taiyuan warehouse and fled to the north of the Yellow River, and asked the other party to bring troops to take over Shaanzhou City, just to see if the other party had taken the bait.
Qi Bihe and Wuhu Huaizhong were ambushed in the dense forest in the middle of the road, regardless of whether the other party took the bait or not, whether there were dates or not, they always had to hit two poles. As for Du Qianyun, he could only pray silently that Kipshi's Hu would hit him headlong like a prey, otherwise he would not be able to avoid the head knife after all.
After a day's work, Qin Jin, who was guarding Shaanzhou, suddenly got a piece of news. The news came from Hebei Province, and after Qin Jin learned about it, one was happy and the other was worried. The good news is that the counties of Hebei Province have raised troops to return to the Tang Dynasty, and now they have publicly elected Yan Zhenqing, the Taishou of Pingyuan County, as the leader of the alliance to jointly fight against the An Lushan rebels. As a result, the rear base camp of the Yan army was completely in chaos. An Lushan, who is in Luoyang and plans to ascend the throne after the first year, must be in a hurry at this time, right?
What worries Qin Jin is that An Lushan's subordinate Shi Siming has already crossed the Yellow River to the north with Youyan's elite iron cavalry, both of which are consistent with the history known by Qin and Jin. If according to the development of history, Shi Siming will go to the counties of Hebei Province to fight the rebellion, capture the Changshan County Taishou Yan Gaoqing and other officials loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and escort them back to Luoyang, An Lushan beheaded them and passed them on to the counties to deter people.
In this way, the Tang Dynasty's most promising opportunity to strangle the Anshi Rebellion in its infancy was lost.
And after Qin Jin came to this world, all the efforts he made did did not seem to be able to stop the occurrence of various key events. It's as if there is an invisible hand of fate, manipulating the fate of everyone, and even the whole world. No matter how hard an individual person tries, he is like a little ant, intending to shake a towering tree, how ridiculous.
