Many places on the ground were dug out of large pits, under the guidance of the rebel soldiers, the specific locations of the buried corpses were found one by one, and the stacked corpses were turned out, the putrid smell and visual shock were incomprehensible, Qin Jin held his breath before he resisted the urge to gag. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the book, it is said that a success will be a thousand bones, but when you are immersed in the scene, the so-called success or not, I am afraid that there is no shock from the corpses everywhere, it is true that he is a general who kills people, and in the face of such a tragic situation in the world, he will also frown and feel cold, not to mention Qin Jin, who leads troops but reads it?

These corpses were dug up under the instruction of Qin and Jin, and they were all shallow buried when Sun Xiaozhe instructed people to clean up the battlefield in the early days of the siege.

At the same time, some soldiers had already set up the pyre, and the corpses were stacked on top of it, and the large cans of fierce fire oil were poured down, and the torches were thrown up, and the fire suddenly skewered up, and the smell of burnt skin and flesh immediately covered up the rancid smell everywhere, but Qin Jin smelled it even more.

Finally leaving several "mass graves" where the corpses were dug up, Qin Jin entered the Yuanmen, which originally belonged to the rebel North Camp, under the hugs of the front and back. The ditch outside the gate has been filled, and the log fences on both sides are also being dismantled section by section, and the thigh-thick logs are neatly stacked in one place, waiting for the horse cart to be loaded and pulled into Chang'an City.

These are all good woods, and if you really take the advice of those people and set them on fire, it will be a waste of money.

"Doctor, there are still scattered remnants of the enemy in the barracks that have not yet been cleared, please ......"

A lieutenant stopped Qin Jin and said that the scope of the military camp was too extensive, and it was not difficult for them to guarantee that his person would not be attacked by surprise now! Qin Jin smiled, and he was not stubborn, otherwise he would have caused trouble to these people.

"I just want to ask, when will the remnants of the enemy be wiped out in all respects? Even if you don't hurt me, you will never be allowed to hurt the people!"

The lieutenant patted his chest and promised:

"The doctor will give the last general another day's work to ensure that there will be no half of the remnants of the enemy!"

Qin Jin nodded, then raised his hand and slapped it twice on the shoulder.

"Well done, if the country can do this, I will credit you first!"

Unexpectedly, the captain refused Qin Jin's promise.

"But clean up the battlefield, the last general will not dare to take the credit, please take back what you just said, and wait until the next day to kill the general and capture the flag, and the last general will ask for a reward!"

Hearing this, Qin Jin laughed:

"You are worthy of being a child of the Xue family in Hedong, it is not in vain that I will bring you to Chang'an!"

This lieutenant was a child of a local family recruited by Qin Jin when he was in Hedong, and Xue Chengji was born in the Xue family.

"Marshal, the last general's position as a lieutenant is all due to his meritorious service by beheading, and it has nothing to do with the background of the last general......

Xue Chengji is still a young man with strong blood, and he is very sensitive to the evaluation of outsiders, especially dislikes to mention his family background, and he tried his best to prove in front of everyone that all his gains were fought back with a knife and a gun.

There are not many people with such backbone in the Shenwu Army or even in the entire imperial court, and even Qin Jin has a high look! Most people are counting on their family background and nepotism to find a starting point one level higher than others. And this Xue Chengji, when he joined the Shenwu Army, he verbally rejected the position of brigade leader with the nature of envelopment, and strongly demanded to start as an ordinary soldier, and even the elders in his clan did not back down from persuasion.

From Hedong to Chang'an, Xue Chengji completely relied on this sword and gun to fight back and became the brigade leader of the first battalion of soldiers, and most of the children of the family who joined the Shenwu Army with him were still brigade leaders, and the troops under his command were only united soldiers as reserve forces. And the men and horses he led were the main force of the real Shenwu Army.

With this alone, Xue Chengji has enough pride in his capital, and this kind of tough temperament has not changed even in front of Qin Jin.

Of course, Qin Jin could also see that Xue Chengji had a bit of a gambling element, after all, due to the strategy of preserving strength, the Shenwu army in Chang'an was able to fight head-on with the rebels only a handful of times, and how much beheading credit could they have?

In this regard, he did not say anything, and after a few words of approval, he led people to inspect all the way down the Chang'an city wall from west to east.

Although everyone never mentioned it, Qin Jin knew that everyone had unwillingness and regret in their hearts, that is, until now, there was still no whereabouts of the thief leader Sun Xiaozhe, and only by killing this person, whether he lived or died, the battle of Chang'an would be considered a successful end, otherwise it would be imperfect.

Soon, Guo Ziyi urged the horse to catch up, and the news he brought was about Sun Xiaozhe.

"Just now, the rangers caught a lot of rebel fugitives on the official road leading to Lishan, and learned an important information from them, the thief leader Sun Xiaozhe is fleeing in the direction of Tongguan under the coercion of his generals!"

Qin Jin heard the words for a while, no matter whether he was caught or not, as long as there was news, it would be good.

"Can you send someone to chase after you?"

Guo Ziyi calmly replied:

"The last general has already sent people to Tongguan to inform General Pei to send troops to intercept it, and then sent 5,000 foot soldiers to pursue all the way east along the official road, but I don't know how many cavalry there are in Sun Thief's army, and I am not sure whether he can catch up!"

The Shenwu army in Chang'an was under the control of Wuhu Huaizhong, and Wuhu Huaizhong only listened to Qin Jin's promotion, so Guo Ziyi came here to ask Qin Jin to give an order and send Wuhu Huaizhong to send troops to pursue.

Qin Jin suddenly frowned and said:

"Tongguan blocked Sun Xiaozhe's eastward escape route, I'm afraid that going east is just a trick, the real purpose of this thief is Feng Yijun north of Weishui!"

As soon as these words came out, Guo Ziyi suddenly realized, he took it for granted a little, and forgot that Sun Xiaozhe was already a frightened bird, how could he really choose the difficult Tongguan to escape?

"The last general will send someone to Feng Yijun to inform Du Yuanjun!"

Du Fu took Feng Yijun's Shenwu army south from Yanzhou and other places, and at this time he had already arrived at the city of Tongzhou.

However, there was also an accident that made him very worried, the 5,000 cavalry led by Yang Xingben should have crossed Weishui according to the plan, but for some reason, more than half of the war horses in the army were sparse, and after a few days of treatment, it was not easy to get better, but the fighters were delayed.

Such an accident also made Du Fu and Yang Xingben feel ominous, and they always felt that this was a harbinger of bad luck.

Instead, they posted notices on the ruins of the same state as a place to gather the people to rebuild their homes. This time when I returned to the south, there were not only the Shenwu army but also the private people who took refuge in the north.

The private sector has a complete organizational system, and as soon as it received the instructions to rebuild its homeland, it was immediately in full swing, just like the spring day that was getting warmer, and the ruins of Tongzhou City were full of vitality.

Just when the two of them were discussing where to continue marching to Chang'an, the news of Chang'an quickly spread to Tongzhou City.

Sun Xiaozhe's army collapsed, and the siege of Chang'an was lifted. Immediately afterwards, the envoy of the Son of Heaven arrived, so that they did not have to enter King Jingqin, but restored the order of Feng Yi on the spot, and rebuilt the gate across the river from the northeastern part of the Guandong Province to Hedong Province.

Once the siege of Chang'an was lifted, the importance of Feng Yijun immediately became apparent, and it absolutely needed to be prioritized as a key place to connect Hedong and the barrier pass.

However, in addition to being happy, Du Fu was faintly disappointed, it was always a pity that he could not catch up with the first battle of Chang'an, but when he thought that Feng Yi's soldiers and civilians could make fewer sacrifices because of this, his mentality was much calmer. In comparison, Yang Xingben is more frustrated. They hurried and hurried to catch up with the battle of Chang'an, as if a punch was hit hard but hit the spring, not only was it blocked, but it was also bounced back fiercely.

The soldiers and horses of the Ma army made Xin Yunjing see Yang Xingben's depression, so he persuaded him:

"Why should the general be upset? The Eastern Capital is still in the hands of the thieves, and in the future, the participation of our Shenwu Army will always be indispensable!"

The implication is that the thieves are not extinguished, and the military exploits will be at your fingertips, so why bother because of this?

After listening to Xin Yunjing's persuasion, Yang Xing suddenly realized that he was so bent on making meritorious contributions that he was blinded.

Once the situation in Hedong is stabilized, the defense of this place will inevitably be handed over to the local unity soldiers, and these soldiers will inevitably go to the front line to fight a tough battle, and they will definitely lose their military achievements!

The reason why Yang Xingben was so meritorious was that he was still eager to prove himself, and his old brothers Lu Qi and Pei Jing, who joined the Shenwu Army with him, already had countless merits at this time, and they deserved to lead an army. And he was left in Chang'an because of the relationship between his clan uncle, so he delayed many great opportunities, and although he is still reused by Qin and Jin until now, how can he be in a high position in the army without the skill of size?

What's more, the only large-scale command operation he had was the Battle of Whitewater, but unfortunately it was a battle that was bound to be lost, and he really couldn't do it!

Although Qin Jin had sent a letter to praise his measures to protect the overall situation, a defeat was a defeat, and no victory proved that he was unable to sleep and eat.

Early this morning, Xin Yunjing roared and broke into Yang Xingben's military tent.

"A large number of suspicious cavalry were found in the Huazhou area, and it seems that they intend to cross the Weishui!"

At this time, Weishui was already civilized, and it was the peach blossom flood season, and the places where the river could be crossed were extremely limited, so it was easier to monitor than when it was frozen.

The unknown cavalry, and the troops did not move forward, and they had the intention of crossing the Weishui, judging from these dynamics alone, they were definitely not the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

If it is confirmed that he is a rebel fugitive, he must be brought in Feng Yi!"

Xin Yunjing said:

"It's just that there is an intention, their target should be Tongguan!"

After getting the news, Yang Xingben smiled happily, and he was content to eat meat and drink some soup. He lay in front of the map of Guanzhong and thought about it for a long time, and then came to a conclusion.

"Their target is Feng Yi, no doubt!"
