Qin Jin returned to the east with many important figures, in addition to the prince of the Great Eclipse Mahdi, there was also the former governor of Khorasan Abbas. These characters all held real power within the Great Food Empire at the beginning, and they trembled when they stomped on the land.

In addition, there are various types of talents recruited from Persepolis and other places, adding up to thousands of people. The reason for this is that after returning to Chang'an, he can further study and record the human history of Persia and the Great Food.

Only a small fraction of these people were prisoners of war, and many of them had endless aspirations for the Tang Dynasty's Chang'an, eager to make their mark in a foreign capital.

After passing through Mulu City, they encountered the rebellion of the Stone Kingdom, and many people were somewhat flustered at first, for fear that this battle would last for a year and a half. But the situation always turned out unexpectedly, and the rebellion lasted only a dozen days before it failed.

The Shenwu army barely made any moves, and the rebels fell into a situation where they fell apart and became a mountain of birds and beasts.

Especially after crossing the Wuhu River to the north, a large number of Sogdian leaders gathered here and rushed to meet the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Qin Jinping retreated from Mahdi, who had been following him, and asked him to go back to rest.

Looking at the back of this Great Food Prince, a sneer appeared on Qin Jin's face, and it was not difficult to guess how much of this person's heart was looking forward to the Shenwu Army falling into the quagmire of war.

It's a pity that they were disappointed.

"The last general, Zhou Wenyu, meets the prime minister!"

When Qin Jin raised his head again, Zhou Wenyu was already kneeling in front of him. He hurriedly got up and left his seat, and helped him up with both hands.

"Captain Zhou's adventure has gained a lot, but it is far beyond the plan, the waste prince can be captured alive, avoiding a big hidden danger after the Shenwu army leaves, which is really a great achievement. ”

Of course, Zhou Wenyu is not a team leader, but a captain in the Guards Army, and this time he took the initiative to ask Ying, whose task is to investigate the situation in the abolished prince's army, and to win over the people who can be divided within it.

Unexpectedly, Guo Youming, who has always been quite stubborn, has become the primary target of being wooed.

"Let's talk about how Dugu Liangzuo single-handedly contributed to the collapse of the rebels. ”

In the previous military report, Zhou Wenyu had concisely described the basic situation. Now, he mainly wants to know how many people within the rebel army are suitable to be adapted to join the Shenwu Army.

After all, Qin Jin has always attached the most importance to the absorption of talents.

Zhou Wenyu thought for a while and said:

"The abolished prince didn't fail so quickly, it was all those people around him who were hindering and adding chaos, and they actually blackened a loyal general like Guo Ziyi, how could he not fail?"

He was still a little angry about this, if Li Yu hadn't connived at those relatives around him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have lost today, and to put it bluntly, he would have reaped the consequences.

Qin Jin sighed lightly.

"This is destined for Li Yu to not be able to make a comeback, and it is the blessing of the court and his own blessing!"

From Qin Jin's words, Zhou Wenyu heard a hint of extraneous sound, and secretly speculated, didn't the prime minister plan to kill Li Yu?

You must know that a deposed prince like Li Yu who personally raised troops to rebel has to be cut down and eradicated in all dynasties, and if he blindly pursues the reputation of benevolence and righteousness, he is afraid of causing trouble.

In his opinion, Qin Jin is a bit of a woman's kindness.

For this reason, Zhou Wenyu bluntly mentioned Li Yu's future fate.

The last general suggested that it was advisable to execute the deposed prince secretly, and his body could be brought back to Chang'an and buried in a chosen place, which not only avoided the unwarranted disaster, but also gave an account to the government and the opposition. ”

All in all, a living Li Yu is much more harmful than a dead Li Yu.

Qin Jin did not shy away from discussing such a secret matter with his subordinates, he only shook his head and said:

"Li Yu can't die, these charges of rebellion can only be planted on the people around him, and it is inevitable to kill some people......"

"Could it be, Guo ......"

Zhou Wenyu felt a pang in his heart, and said that the word "Guo" in half of it refers to Guo Ziyi. He had a secret that he had never told Guo Youming, he used to be Guo Ziyi's subordinate, and later he was incorporated into the Shenwu Army during the defense of Chang'an.

As far as the truth is concerned, Zhou Wenyu still has some expectations for Guo Ziyi and others, hoping that he can learn his way back, and also hopes that Qin Jin can forgive him and give him a chance to reform himself.

But now it seems that there is obviously some wishful thinking, and people like Guo Ziyi may not be able to escape death.

"Guo Jiahachilang also has some credit, the prime minister ......"

"This person may be spared death, but after returning to Chang'an, he can only be sent back to his hometown and never used!"

Guo Youming is bent on rebellion, if it weren't for Dugu Liangzuo and others to make trouble from within, he and Guo Ziyi would have spared no effort to oppose the imperial court and the Shenwu Army.

Moreover, Guo Ziyi's fate is already doomed, this person will definitely not be angry with what happened to his brother, and most of them will have resentment towards the court and the Shenwu Army, so it is already a great grace to be able to let him return to his hometown without pursuing his crimes.

"Guo Ziyi is injured, Dugu Liangzuo is not a little difficult for him, Li Yu has such a fool around him, it's strange if he is undefeated! I don't know how the prime minister plans to deal with him and his subordinates?"

"What about your proposal?"

Qin Jin did not answer the rhetorical question.

The last general suggested that after being safely escorted back to Chang'an, the Ming Dynasty would be sentenced to warn the world of ill-intentioned people. ”

Qin Jin nodded approvingly, Guo Ziyi really can't live, as long as he dies, it will be valuable, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the government and the opposition.

Originally, he had great expectations for this person, but when the Tibetans captured Chang'an, he chose to defect, and since then his fate has long been irreversible.

"Do you want to see Guo?"

Zhou Wenyu asked tentatively, and Qin Jin shook his head and said:

"The Tao is different, so what's the benefit of seeing it? However, you can meet Guo Jiabalang, but it's a pity that this young man is gone. ”

His words were full of infinite regret, if people like Guo Youming were guided, they could indeed become the pillars of the country. However, with his complex background and experience at this time, he is no longer suitable to stay in the DPRK as an official.

When Guo Youming saw Qin Jin, his face was still a little embarrassed. He had always been quite hostile to Qin Jin before, and when he thought of the humiliating things in the prisoner camp, he couldn't help but lower his head and didn't say a word.

It was Qin Jin who broke the embarrassing situation.

"Sit down, you have meritorious service in quelling the rebellion this time, and after I go back, I will ask the Son of Heaven for credit for you. ”

Hearing this, Guo Youming said in a loud voice:

"Guo is willing to die with his brother, if he is good at living, won't the world laugh at the greed for life and fear of death, and seek glory by apostasy?"

"Ahem...... Brother Guo lost his words......"

Without waiting for Qin Jin to speak, Zhou Wenyu hurriedly reminded Guo Youming not to be confused.
