At noon on the same day, Yang Xing's army of 30,000 troops went to Changshi Township, while Qin Jin personally sat in Xin'an Guancheng, just waiting for Yin Ziqi's army to arrive. At the same time, hundreds of scouting horses sprang out, constantly monitoring the movements of the rebels. Since they fought twenty miles of Cijian, the speed of the march began to become slow, and Yang Xing had enough time to arrange in Changshi Township.

Even so, Qin Jin still did not intend to sit and wait in the city, he took more than a hundred followers out of the city and went to several villages west of Xin'an to survey the terrain. Previously, his plan was to take the initiative to attack Cijian's Yin Ziqi army, but who would have thought that Yin Ziqi would take the initiative to attack, and all the plans would naturally be disrupted. Therefore, he decided to personally inspect the places west of Xin'an, so that he could have a good idea of the nearby terrain, and once the two armies confronted each other, he would not be caught blind in battle.

The largest river near Xin'an is Gushui, which flows from northwest to southeast until Luoyang. Due to the drought and lack of rain, most of this large river, which is quite rich in water in Pingsuri, has also dried up, and a large area of the riverbed is exposed, the silt at the bottom of the river is dry and cracked, and occasionally a few small boats are stranded on the dry riverbed

Qin Jin specially brought Tian Chenghei with him, although this person is good at flattery, but he also has some ability after all. More importantly, he has been a general under An Lushan for many years, and he is well aware of the rebels' troop routines, so he may be able to make some unexpected gains.

Seven or eight miles west of Xin'an, there is an unnamed hill, and the official road leading to Luoyang passes south of this place. The hill was bare, and the mulberry forest on it had long been cut down, so Qin Jin and his party climbed it without much effort. Standing on a high place, the field of vision immediately opens up a lot, from Xin'an to the east is not a large plain of Pingchuan, the remaining veins of the Sankun Mountain in the south of the official road extend to Luoyang through this, and the terrain near the bank of the Yellow River in the north is also undulating.

In this kind of place, the space is not open, and it is not suitable for the deployment of large armies and frontal battles of large corps. On the contrary, the complex terrain provides a fertile ground for battlefield trickery to take root. Qin and Jin had never only known how to use brute force, and at this time, on the high slope of the mound, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, how could he completely annihilate Yin Ziqi's army in the complex area between Xin'an and Luoyang at the lowest cost? Fire attack, water attack, and even the sound of attacking the east and west, diverting the tiger from the mountain, and so on, were all in his mind, but after all, none of them were reliable.

"Captain Tian, are you familiar with Yin Ziqi?"

Tian Chengsi and Yin Ziqi have both been generals under An Lushan for many years, and even if they don't know each other, they must have heard a lot. Qin Jin had no impression of a character like Yin Ziqi before, and he didn't know what this person's ability was, and whether he had obvious shortcomings in his temperament.

"The last general did have a lot of contact with Yin Ziqi when he was under the command of the thief, this person is a confidant of the King of Jin, and he is known for his wisdom and calmness, and he must not be taken lightly. ”

Tian Chengsi's answer was also expected by Qin Jin, if Yin Ziqi was a person with no ability, it would be impossible for him to rise out of the rebels and defeat Fang Xuan's army of 100,000.

After a moment of silence, Tian Chengsi suddenly said:

The last general told a story about Yin Ziqi back then, and now people can't help but sigh when they think about it. ”

Qin Jinda was interested.

"Oh, this man has amazing deeds, tell me about it!"

It turned out that Yin Ziqi attacked the Khitans with An Lushan back then, but An Lushan was defeated by the Khitans because of his rivals, and his subordinates also fled in all directions. Originally, everyone thought that this battle would be lost, and even whether they could escape the pursuit of the Khitans was unknown. It was Yin Ziqi, who was blocked by the Khitans with 5,000 foot soldiers, and dragged the Khitans for three days. Because of this, An Lushan gathered his troops, fought and retreated, and returned to Fanyang safely.

However, the various departments under An Lushan's command are also full of factions, and Yin Ziqi is deployed by An Qingxu's cronies. At that time, An Lushan and Shi Siming did not want to see An Qingxu, so although Yin Ziqi had repeatedly made meritorious contributions in Youzhou, he had not been promoted and reused.

It wasn't until An Lushan raised troops to go south that Yin Ziqi had a chance, and now that An Qingxu has the sole power, this person will naturally rise.

Qin Jin listened to Tian Chenghe's story, and actually sighed, he couldn't imagine that the open and secret dog-eat-dog fight was not the exclusive thing of the Tang Dynasty court, and even the interior of the An Lushan rebels was a virtue. Now that I think about it, perhaps it is not because of the better job that has been done better, but because of the infighting, which side has been affected less.

At the beginning, Li Longji, as the Son of Heaven, did not wisely control the struggle of his subordinates, and even further expanded the scope of influence, on the contrary, An Lushan was much stronger than him in this regard.

"This Yin Ziqi is a talent, if An Lushan used this person to attack Chang'an, it would be really difficult to say what the result would be!"

Qin Jin sighed with emotion, thinking of Sun Xiaozhe, if he hadn't made fatal mistakes in a row after the soldiers entered Tongguan, even if he couldn't capture Chang'an, he wouldn't have been wiped out in Guanzhong.

Tian Chengsi said:

After the rebels captured Luoyang, Sun Xiaozhe was already snubbed by An Lushan, and was even squeezed out by Cui Qianyou and others. It is precisely because of this that he took refuge in An Qingxu. If it weren't for Cui Qianyou's defeat and capture in Shaanzhou, this person would be afraid that it would be difficult to come out again, who would have thought that people were not as good as heaven, An Qingxu finally mastered the power of the Luoyang Imperial Court, and Sun Xiaozhe with his previous qualifications and prestige would naturally be the commander of the rebels in the Western Expedition. After all, Yin Ziqi has shallow qualifications, and it is extremely difficult for Sun Xiaozhe to come out if he is undefeated or dead. ”

Tian Chengsi was obviously very familiar with the various flies and dogs within the rebels, and Qin Jin was also happy to listen to these gossips that could not be gleaned from conventional channels. In fact, this is by no means inconsequential news, and only by straightening out the relationships between the characters within the rebels can we make appropriate decisions against them more effectively.

In addition to the frontal battlefield, dividing and disintegrating them from within the rebels is also a means of achieving twice the result with half the effort.

"The generals that An Qingxu trusts now, is there anyone else besides Yin Ziqi?"

Qin Jin believes that as long as there are people, there must be competition, so he doesn't believe that there is harmony under An Qingxu's command. Not to mention others, even the Shenwu Army has a faint faction.

Tian Chengsi pondered for a while and replied:

In fact, Yin Ziqi is not An Qingxu's most trusted general. ”

Qin Jinqi said:

"Someone else?"

"That's right, Ashina Chengqing is the one who is relied on by An Qingxu as his arm. However, Ashina Chengqing's ability is even worse than Yin Ziqi's, but he is more loyal!"

At this point, Qin Jin's understanding of the interior of An Qingxu Group has a rough outline.

Yin Ziqi is cold and wise, and Ashina Chengqing is as loyal as a dog to protect the master, so it is difficult for the two people to cause vicious competition when they are together. Because the interests of the two of them are not in the same place, it is naturally difficult to cause a core conflict.

But Qin Jin still didn't give up and asked:

"What is the relationship between Yin Ziqi and Ashina Chengqing?"

What kind of person Tian Chengsi is, what he is best at is observing words and feelings, as soon as he asked these words, he understood Qin Jin's true purpose.

"The two rely on each other internally and externally, and there is very little conflict. But is there a more important person that the doctor has neglected besides them?"

"Which one?"

Tian Chengsi smiled flatteringly and replied:

"Solemn!"

Qin Jin suddenly realized, how could he ignore the pseudo-Prime Minister Yan Yan solemnly! This person is like an old fox, not only the most trusted minister of An Lushan, but also the object of An Qingxu's great efforts.

"Yan Zhuang is ruthless and narrow-minded. If the general's estimation is correct, he will definitely regard Ashina Chengqing and Yin Ziqi as a thorn in the flesh! The doctor may be able to start with this person, and maybe there will be unimaginable results!"

That's right, why did you forget Yan Zhuang? Qin Jin thought secretly in his heart. Yan Zhuang had sent a secret envoy to contact him before, but he had always thought that this was a trick by Pseudo Yan, so he dragged the secret envoy Yan Tong and never had a definite answer. Now that I think about it, this is not a solemn choice to bet on both ends!

If the Shenwu Army gains an advantage, this person will at least have the merit of helping anyway, if the Shenwu Army is defeated, he will still be the prime minister of the Pseudo-Yan Imperial Court, one person under ten thousand people. This abacus is wonderful.

After a conversation with Tian Chenghe, Qin Jin already had a basic idea in his heart, so he took his subordinates to plan to leave the hill and dirt slope. At this moment, the nearby scout rangers issued a warning of danger.

Qin Jin was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that dust covering the sky and the sun had risen in the east, which was obviously caused by the march of a large number of men and horses.

Sure enough, his guess was correct, and soon a scout horse rushed back.

"Report! The 10,000 rebel strikers are less than three miles away from here, please evacuate as soon as possible!"

Three miles, the cavalry accelerated and could not be reached in a moment's effort, and their more than 100 people were at the top of the bare hills, and the target was not small, and the rebels' rangers must have spotted them at this time.

Qin Jin raised his eyes and looked closely, under the dust, the rebels were lined with banners, and the elite infantry and cavalry were mixed together, and the momentum of the soldiers was indescribably shocking.

Yin Ziqi's tens of thousands of cavalry are not comparable to the Tang Dynasty regiments that defected, and they can be regarded as the last elite of An Lushan's rebels. The belongings at the bottom of the box have been taken out, and they must not underestimate each other. Qin Jin secretly reminded himself, but he was not in a hurry to leave, still standing on the high slope of the hill and looking at the rebel infantry vanguard who was getting closer and closer.

Qin Jin wanted to see more realistically, it was these elites who were the mainstays who supported the An Lushan rebel group, if they were all wiped out in this battle, maybe the Tang Dynasty could avoid the original tragedy and completely defeat the rebels.
