"The rebels eat people, people and gods are angry, and sooner or later they will be defeated......"

On the palace of the Son of Heaven, Li Mi said that the news that the rebels ate people's military food has spread in the city, and Li Mi naturally got the news early, although he hated the rebels for losing his conscience, but also found a little light from the darkness, maybe the hope of the Tang Dynasty victory is coming.

However, the initiator of this human tragedy may also have an inseparable relationship with Qin Jin. However, thanks to his previous defeats, he had learned to endure and wait. Therefore, today, he only congratulated Li Heng, and never asked Qin Jin for trouble.

Li Heng knew about the people's plight much earlier than Li Mi, and by this time, although he was still angry and grieving, he had already regained his senses. The Tang Dynasty was in a crisis situation of being cut off from social security, so how could it be possible to turn the crisis into peace without wind and waves? Qin Jin once persuaded him in this way, although he said that the reality was too cruel, after all, there was no better way.

What you think in your heart is one thing, but when you face the important ministers, it's a different picture. He could not let his courtiers see his frustration and sorrow, and although he did not want to, he continued to learn from his father, and he was not afraid of the king's joy and anger.

"The Anshi traitor army has cut off food, can you have a way to deal with it?"

Li Mi has no military power in his hands, although he is the most trusted person of Li Heng, the son of heaven, but he is not much stronger than a scribe in Chang'an at this time. The crisis of annihilation prompted the Manchu Dynasty and even the Son of Heaven to give Qin and Jin nearly uncontained power.

In other words, after the siege of Chang'an was lifted, there would be no possibility of any change, and even Li Heng, the son of heaven, would not allow this to happen, even if it was weakened even a little. Previously, Li Mi secretly rectified Qin Jin with Chen Xilie under the pretext of sores, just because he didn't see this clearly and didn't fully judge the mind of Li Heng, the son of heaven.

Now, he has made up his mind, as long as the siege of Chang'an is not solved for a day, not only will he not cause Qin Jin any more trouble, but will do his best to help him. As long as the siege of Chang'an is lifted, that is the beginning of his arrangement to deal with Qin Jin.

"The minister thinks that the imperial historian has meritorious service in resisting thieves, and he should be rewarded for his meritorious deeds to stimulate morale."

The palace, including Wei Fangjin and Cui Guangyuan, was shocked by Li Yu's words. In the past, Li Heng planned to promote Qin Jin's official position, and this person would find all kinds of reasons to oppose it, but now why did he change his temperament? It is really strange, things are abnormal, and Wei Fangjin and the others, out of inertial thinking, all feel that there must be some conspiracy hidden behind Li Yu's move.

However, several people lowered their heads, and after thinking about it, they didn't guess what Li Mi's plan was.

In the end, Qin Jin quietly rejected this proposal, one is that he doesn't want to be a supreme minister, otherwise he will not be rewarded in the future? When there is no reward, it may not be a good thing for the courtiers.

"The minister is still young, he can get His Majesty's wrong love, and he is already afraid to occupy a high position, how dare he ......"

Li Heng interrupted Qin Jin's self-humility.

"Qin Qing doesn't have to be humble, Mr. is right, I should indeed be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the Shenwu Army should be a meritorious person, make a list and submit it, and the edict will be approved!"

Qin Jin thought about it, but still didn't refuse, and then thanked him and then fell silent.

Wei Fangjin understood Li Jin's true intention at the beginning of Qin Jin's refusal, this was to kill Qin Jin! At the same time, he also secretly sympathized with Qin Jin, and he didn't know how Qin Jin offended this narrow-minded and vicious person. is also secretly glad that he did not offend this person.

Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan suddenly interjected:

"The minister thinks that it is not advisable to be in a hurry to reward merit, why not wait for the siege of Chang'an to be lifted and the dust settles?"

Obviously, Cui Guangyuan also guessed Li Yu's thoughts, he was not as selfish as Wei Fangjin, and he was afraid that Qin Jin would not be able to resist the temptation and ask for trouble in vain, so he didn't care about offending people, stood up, and advised Li Heng not to reward merit easily.

In Li Heng's view, rewarding merit was naturally a must, but the timing of Li Mi's proposal seemed to be a bit reluctant, how could there be a reason to reward merit before the war? However, in order not to dampen Qin Jin's loyalty, he was not good at objecting. Now Cui Guangyuan has stood up to express his opposition, which is a good step.

With Cui Guangyuan taking the lead, Wei Fangjin was not willing to be replaced, so he changed his style of looking down at the excitement, and also made it clear that he should do things to reward merit after the war.

All the important ministers in the palace said that it was not the right time to reward merit, so Li Heng got off the donkey and shelved Li Yu's proposal.

At this point, Qin Jin's mood did not seem to be affected, and instead the topic was led to the purpose of Li Heng's summoning of important ministers today.

"The rebels have been out of food for nearly half a month, and the minister thinks that the time for a counterattack has come, when he gathers soldiers and horses from all over the world and defeats the Anshi traitors who have entered the Kou Pass in one fell swoop!"

Cui Guangyuan, who had just relieved Qin Jin, snorted coldly.

"The soldiers and horses of King Qin are watching from all over the country, and who is willing to take the fire for the imperial court?"

He wanted to say that who was willing to take a wreck for the Son of Heaven, but after thinking about it, he felt that saying so might hurt Li Heng's self-esteem, so he changed his words again.

However, what Cui Guangyuan said is indeed the truth, it has been almost three months since Tongguan was broken, and except for Lingwu's servant Gu Huai'en, who once led the Shuofang army south, there were no other local troops rushing to King Qin. From beginning to end, it was the Shenwu Army that supported it alone.

Qin Jin groaned and said:

"It can't be generalized! The soldiers and horses from all over the country can't get to the king of Guanzhong, the main reason is that the Anshi traitors occupy the Central Plains, and the Central Plains is the only place to go to Guanzhong, and they are powerless!"

At this time, Li Mi, who rarely spoke in military affairs, suddenly said:

The minister felt that there was something strange and he had been puzzled. Isn't it strange that the traitor has been lost for more than half a month, but he has never used troops to fight against him?"

In fact, Qin Jin has also been paying attention to the issue of the direction of Tongguan. Sun Xiaozhe did not move troops to fight back, most likely because he was unable to divide his troops, and was only bent on taking Chang'an. Outside Tongguan, why Luoyang did not react, it was difficult to know the specific reason for a while. Maybe there was an accident in Luoyang City, or maybe it was the growing strength of the Tang Army in various places, and the Anshi rebels were inseparable.

The reasons are all kind, although it is difficult to discern for the time being, but this is irrelevant, as long as Pei Jing's men and horses firmly control Tongguan and cut off the communication between Guanzhong and the Central Plains, he is sure that Sun Xiaozhe's entire army will be annihilated.

Without waiting for Qin Jin to speak, Li Yu continued:

"The minister thinks that Pei Jing led tens of thousands of troops to defend Tongguan, since there is no threat for a long time, it is better to send some troops and cooperate with Doctor Qin in the pass......"

Unexpectedly, Cui Guangyuan interrupted him with a sneer.

"This is a curse for the country, don't the servants of the door know the importance of Tong about Chang'an?"

Defending Tongguan is related to whether the siege of Chang'an can be successfully lifted, and even the top priority of the collapse of Sun Xiaozhe's 200,000 army. Even if there is no danger for the time being, it is not easy to divide the troops of Tongguan.

Li Mi suddenly felt that he was speechless, and his face turned red suddenly, but he couldn't take back what he had just said, he would definitely be used as a talking handle, and secretly regretted it, why was he so careless that he spoke without thinking?

His attitude softened, but Cui Guangyuan didn't intend to let him go easily, and still said sarcastically:

"I have heard that the squire knows the soldiers, but what I see today is actually talking about the soldiers on paper, fortunately, the squire is not the prime minister of the political hall, otherwise he will interfere with the use of troops in the imperial court, mislead the country and the people, and the soldiers in front of him will die in ...... unknown."

"Shut up!"

Li Mi was surged by his sarcastic anger, and finally couldn't help but shout, but immediately realized his gaffe, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty to Li Heng.

"The minister roared in front of the Son of Heaven, knowing that he was guilty, please punish Your Majesty!"

The atmosphere in the palace was even more embarrassing, and Li Heng also felt that Li Yu's suggestion was really a stupid move, even if he wanted to transfer troops, he must not transfer the troops in Tongguan, not only could not be transferred, but also sent some more if the troops allowed.

Li Heng sighed secretly, which also made Li Mi's image of wisdom and omnipotence shaken in his heart for many years, although he still trusted Li Mi, but after all, he didn't dare to let Li Mi touch the military power again.

"Okay, now is the time to devote oneself to one's life, so don't fight. ”

He decided to make peace between Li Mi and Cui Guangyuan, so that the two of them would not completely turn their faces, and if they turned their faces, they would inevitably hinder each other and be of no benefit to the country.

Qin Jin saw that Cui Guangyuan and Li Mi were blushing, and he couldn't sit still, so he said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is okay to transfer troops, but there is no need to transfer troops from Tongguan. When the minister left Hedong, the main force was all left in Hedong to clamp down on the Hebei rebels, and now it is at a critical moment. ”

"Mobilize the soldiers of Hedong?"

Not only Li Heng, but also Wei Fangjin and Cui Guangyuan were taken aback.

Previously, they thought that the Shenwu Army only had tens of thousands of people in Tongguan, but they didn't expect that there was still the main force of the Shenwu Army in Hedong Road.

Li Heng asked with some doubts:

"If the troops from Hedong are transferred into the pass, in case the black betrayal army counterattacks, what should Hedong do if it is lost?"

Qin Jin didn't answer directly, but only asked a question.

"Your Majesty, which one is more important?"

"This, this?"

Li Heng was stunned by the question, Hedong and Guanzhong were like the left and right arms of the Tang Dynasty, and neither of them was what he wanted to see. But if he could only choose one, Li Heng felt very entangled and difficult to choose.

After a while, Li Heng asked with difficulty:

"Does it have to be like this?"

Qin Jin was silent before, that is, he was thinking about whether he should transfer troops into the pass, and if so, where to transfer them, thinking about it, only Lu Qi, who was still in Hedong, was the most suitable.

As for the safety of Hedong, of course, he was also worried, but compared to the importance of Guanzhong, Qin Jin would rather give up Hedong decisively, as long as Guanzhong is kept, Sun Xiaozhe's 200,000 army will completely collapse, and it will not be difficult to recapture Hedong.
