Now that he lowered his posture, he naturally showed his willingness to obey Qin Jin's dispatch.

From the first impression alone, Qin Jin also felt that this Hedong County Magistrate Shi Sun Anping was not a treacherous person like Cui Liang, nor was it different from Yan Lun's general flattery.

"Sun Changshi came at the right time, I heard that the county order was martyred, and the officials below the county guard were not in the army, Sun Changshi was spared, which is really a blessing for my Tang Dynasty. ”

Qin Jin's words made Sun Anping's old face red, and his voice was a little choked.

"If the subordinates don't have the idea of doing a meager contribution to the court, where will they have the face to live in the world again......"

Sun Anping intermittently, concisely and concisely said that Hedong City had changed hands and fallen before, and it turned out that the culprit was actually the county Tai Shoufan Zhiyuan, this thief saw that the rebels were menacing, so he secretly colluded with the rebel general, which led to the fall of Hedong City.

But there are still many doubts, such as how the guard general Ashina retreated with his whole body.

After Huangfu Ke raised this question, Sun Anping said hatefully: "Ashina Congli and the rebels are eyebrows, if it weren't for the half-heartedness of the two chiefs of Yiwen and Wuwu, how could Hedong City be broken in three days with the strength of Hedong City?"

Hedong City was given to the rebels by these two people, who colluded openly and covertly.

Speaking of this, Sun Anping said to himself suspiciously: "It's also strange, this time Sun Xiaozhe's army arrived, why did Ashina Congli fight against it?"

Huangfu Ke smiled and told Qin Jin how to frame Ashina Congli before, which made Sun Xiaozhe hate Ashina Congli, so this guy had to fight to the death, otherwise this thief might really open the door to greet him.

It seems that Qin Jin's move is not only to eliminate Ashina's idea of having two hearts from Li, but Ashina Congli originally had a rebellious heart, but by mistake, it completely cut off his back road.

"From this point of view, Ashina is not wronged at all from the courtesy, but he can't correct it on the spot in Hedong City. ”

Sun Anping was surprised: "What happened to Ashina's courtesy? Could it be that his rebellious intentions have been revealed?"

"Not to mention the revelation, Qin has already transferred him to the Jingshi, and he is at the disposal of the Son of Heaven!"

"Ashina is no more than a young general, how can He De be judged by the Son of Heaven himself?"

"It's a long story......"

For a while, they exchanged news with each other for three days, confirming their speculations, and they couldn't get to the point for a long time.

Qin Jin still couldn't bear it, and straightforwardly turned the topic to the present.

"I don't know how many of the officials of this county who followed Sun Changshi have survived, although they are now guarding Hedong City, but there is no experienced official coordination from the official office, it is really unbearable......"

Sun Anping's voice was a little excited again.

"At least fifty percent of the officials in the county are hiding in the countryside, and the subordinates can personally recruit them to return to the city to serve on behalf of the Qin envoy. ”

"That's great!"

……

Tongguan, Gao Lishi has been here for three days, and the conversation with Gao Xianzhi has been held three times, but each time Gao Xianzhi's attitude is very resolute and cannot be discussed.

However, Gao Lishi had Li Longji's deep expectations, and he couldn't bear to return in vain and disappoint Li Longji, so he decided to have another deep talk with Gao Xianzhi, and no matter what, he had to persuade the more and more stubborn minister.

Gao Xianzhi's attitude towards Gao Lishi is actually no different from Bian Lingcheng, these eunuchs are all fortunate people who rely on the grace of the Son of Heaven to be powerful and blessed in his eyes, although Gao Lishi is the best in the government and the opposition, but Gao Xianzhi can also see clearly, although this person is a first-class master in playing with power, but when it comes to military affairs and major events in the world, there is no essential difference between him and Yang Guozhong.

However, to treat this kind of person, Gao Xianzhi must not offend as a last resort. But since it is a last resort, it means that there is a bottom line, and what Gao Lishi wants today is touching Gao Xianzhi's bottom line, so he cannot afford to give in.

"Gao Xianggong thought twice, and the rebels were false and wronged, and it was not true that he would cut the land and sue for peace, as long as he gave Datang three or two years of effort, he would definitely be able to recover his vitality and concentrate on completely exterminating the thieves who were in trouble. ”

Gao Xianzhi explained bitterly:

"The thieves occupy the eastern capital, and they have already become emperors, and they have no intention of retreating, and the reason why they propose peace talks is just to save the determination and morale of our Tang Dynasty and the opposition to attack the thieves. In particular, the morale of the army is difficult to drum up once it is leaked......"

Colliers sighed, his eyes showing a little anxiety, his intuition told him that he must return in vain today, but he had to persuade him with all his might.

"The morale of the army is something that cannot be seen or touched, ethereal, and if it is not fast, it will naturally come quickly. Unlike the grain in the field, the output is more or less a certain amount, and it is difficult to recover in a short period of time once it is lost...... Take 10,000 steps back, Gao Xianggong will temporarily collect the morale of the army, and talk to the thief first, the city of Tongguan can't be fragile because of this, right?

The morale of the military is easy to dissipate and difficult to inspire, and the military spirit that has finally been gathered is dissipated in this way, and Gao must not do such a foolish thing as a relative and an enemy. Knowing that the thief was just stalling for time, how could the imperial court just ignore it and get into it?"

The battle of Shangyang Pass, ** at the cost of tens of thousands of casualties in exchange for a big victory, once the negotiation with An Lushan began, because of this battle and the heart of the decisive battle, will be crumbled under the combined force of various ideas. Some have unrealistic fantasies, others want to end the war as quickly as possible, and some have more ulterior motives......

Gao Xianzhi came out of the rotten quagmire of the Chang'an court, knowing the thoughts of hundreds of officials in the court, and also knowing that many generals in the army were inevitably involved.

"Prime minister, I caught the rebel spies!"

"Spy, according to the usual disposition, why bother to ask me!"

Gao Xianzhi was a little impatient, if he had to decide on such a trivial matter as catching a spy in the army, why would he still raise so many Sima and other officials in the army in vain?

"The spy caught this time is not an ordinary person, it is said to be the imperial historian of Pseudo-Yan......"

"Doctor Goshi?"

Gao Xianzhi was stunned for a while, and immediately thought of the purpose of Gao Lishi's visit this time, could it be that this person was going to secretly rush to Chang'an to be in charge of the pseudo-Yan officials?

"Did the Xianggong interrogate him personally?"

Without waiting for Gao Xianzhi to answer, Gao Lishi anxiously urged: "Quick, bring it up to see me!"

However, the soldiers in the army who reported did not move at all, only watching Gao Xianzhi's reaction. However, Gao Xianzhi was bowing his head and groaning, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and said loudly:

"All the spies caught, regardless of their identity, will be beheaded, and their heads will be hung at the head of Tongguan City to show the public!"

The armor promised and took the order to go!

"Slow, come back......"

In an instant, Gao Lishi's face turned green, and he ordered the armor soldier to come back when he saw his voice, but how could the armor soldier beside Gao Xianzhi listen to him, just turn a deaf ear and stride away.

Seeing this, Gao Xianzhi didn't care about decency, and ran to Gao Xianzhi in three or two steps, and asked in a sharp voice:

"You, you do this, you know the consequences......"

"Gao did this to completely cut off the repetition of the imperial court, and there was only one way to fight to the death against the thieves, and there was no trick. ”

As if choked, Colliers only raised his arm and pointed, but could not say a complete sentence. It wasn't until he cried out in pain that he was relieved, but instead he bowed down and whispered to him:

"Please look at this old face for the sake of a certain old face, don't kill ...... no matter what"

Gao Xianzhi seemed to be hard-hearted, and without waiting for Gao Lishi to finish speaking, he helped him up from the ground.

"How can the state's public organs be judged by personal feelings? It is difficult for Gao to obey his fate......

"You, you ......"

Gao Lishi raised his arm again and pointed at Gao Xianzhi, only to feel that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, his eyes were gradually hazy, and even his thoughts were gradually solidifying, and finally he lost consciousness in front of him.

A moment later, more than a dozen bloody heads were hung on the Guancheng of Tongguan, and whenever a soldier passed by, someone loudly explained that this was a high-ranking official of the rebel army, and now he was beheaded to show the public, but those who intentionally wanted to collude ended like this.

On the one hand, the rumors that were faintly circulating in the army were dissipated because of this, and on the other hand, the army rejoiced when they heard that the high-ranking officers of the rebels had been beheaded, and they felt that the day of defeat of the rebels was not far off.

Seeing that the undercurrent surging in the army gradually stabilized, Gao Xianzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Gao Lishi was fainted by him on the spot three days ago, and now he is back in Chang'an City, and he doesn't know how to arrange and slander him in front of the Son of Heaven, and his heart is depressed and worried.

……

"What's more, they were all killed by Gao Xianzhi? Good news, it should be a big revelation for this!"

"Isn't the general confused by anger? The imperial historian Gao Zaicheng who was sent to contact was beheaded, isn't the previous effort in vain? Yang Guozhong just sent his henchmen over to coordinate, and before he left at this time, why don't he be slaughtered to avenge Gao Zaicheng, who died in vain!"

An Qingxu was very puzzled by Sun Xiaozhe's laughter, thinking that he was dizzy with anger.

Unexpectedly, Sun Xiaozhe still smiled:

"Your Highness, don't worry, Gao Xianzhi killed Gao Zaicheng, it really can't be better news for my Dayan......!

An Qingxu was puzzled and asked:

"Why does the general assert that?"

Sun Xiaozhe did not answer directly, but responded to another question from An Qingxu.

The envoy sent by Yang Guozhong must not be killed, immediately explained the situation to him, and sent him back to Guanzhong. ”

An Qingxu was even more puzzled, and asked with a frown:

"The general should not always play dumb riddles, how can it be a great good thing, why can't you kill the envoy sent by Yang Guozhong?"
