Chapter 436: The King Wants to Sweep Mines

The news that Zhang Qing took over Wei Ji as Jingzhao Yin was already known to Qin Jin before the Battle of Jiangzhou, but he never thought about it deeply, after all, in terms of common sense, it is an indisputable fact that the crown prince Li Heng participated in the mutiny, and according to the character of Li Longji, the son of heaven, he will never be forgiven. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Therefore, even if Zhang Qing takes over Jing Zhaoyin, it cannot be regarded as a sign that the situation of the crown prince Li Heng has improved greatly.

On the contrary, Qin Jin only saw this personnel transfer as a small trick played by Li Longji in the struggle between his subordinates. To put it bluntly, Zhang Qing's succession is just a stopgap measure, and it will be forgotten if it is used. However, Li Longji did things unexpectedly, and lifted the restraint on the crown prince at such a moment, so that even Qin Jin couldn't see through the situation in Chang'an.

Originally, Qin Jin thought that as long as he was in Chang'an, he would be able to know the affairs of Beijing well even if he was in the place, but now it seems that it is far from the same thing.

There are some things that you can't see through in the middle of it, let alone being thousands of miles away?

However, Qin Jin had no choice. As the political center of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City is indeed a place that hundreds of officials yearn for, and there is also such a trend in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, striving to be the first to be a Beijing official, and struggling to be a local official. However, Chang'an's officialdom is like a colorful fuel, muddy and bottomless, and various forces are intertwined, and they have all become puppets of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, if he stayed in Chang'an, he could only fall into endless political disputes in public and do nothing, and only when he went to the local area could he make some achievements. After arriving at the place, the situation of the Shenwu army really changed, not only gained a firm foothold in Feng Yijun, but also dredged the Zhengbai Canal, which no one cared about for more than a hundred years, and then the army crossed the Yellow River to the east and broke out of a piece of land in Hedong Road in one fell swoop.

Although these troops did not have the edict of the imperial court and the Son of Heaven, after several major battles, the credit was real, so the imperial court also recognized them one by one after the fact. If it weren't for this, how could Qin Jin know about the affairs of the Hedong Dao at a young age with the post of staying behind?

At the beginning of his moves, he was well thought out, and every move achieved the intended purpose. However, the current development of events is far from the assumption. First, Gao Xianzhi went out of the customs to fight a decisive battle, and then the crown prince Li Heng was released from restraint. The former can be said to be the trend of the times, and it is reasonable for the imperial court to make a counterattack. But the Son of Heaven's treatment of the crown prince Li Heng is too incredible.

You must know that Li Longji killed three sons in a row in one day without evidence of rebellion, how could a person who was so resolute and ruthless in defending power easily let go of the prince who participated in the mutiny?

Moreover, the prince's party once turned against the Shenwu Army in the mutiny, which gave Li Longji a chance to turn over. If the prince really regains trust, will everyone in the Shenwu Army be in danger? After all, the Son of Heaven is old, and after a hundred years, with the prince's prime of life, how can he not settle accounts after the autumn?

After the mutiny, before leaving Chang'an, Qin Jin had a "chance encounter" with the crown prince, which can be regarded as a meeting. Although the conversation was not long, Qin Jin seemed to find a trace of regret in the prince's words.

As for what the prince wanted to express his apologies at that time, Qin Jin couldn't guess for a while, after all, everyone knew that the prince's political life had ended at that time, so why bother to speculate?

Now that he suddenly heard that Li Longji had lifted the restraint on the crown prince, Qin Jin remembered every word he had talked to the prince when he was in Chang'an.

"Envoy, Captain Lu is back!"

Personally reported to the hall that Qin Jin was now the queen of the festival, and it stands to reason that his subordinates could call him a handsome man in a dignified manner. However, Qin Jin has always had a good impression of the envoys, so he corrected the names of the various deployments that called him, and still called his own official, that is, Feng Yijun Taishou.

"Please!"

Lu Qi is back, this is definitely good news, if Lu Qi's lone army did not go deep in the first battle of Jiangzhou and cut off Cai Xide's grain route at Tianjing Pass, it would be impossible for the Shenwu Army to completely drive the rebels out of Hedong, and it would be impossible for him to recover the eight counties in the south of Hedong Road so smoothly.

"The last general, Lu Qi, visited the envoy, and this time he went to war, fortunately he was not dishonored!"

Qin Jin left the table excitedly, came to Lu Qi, helped Lu Qi who bowed down with both hands, and carefully looked at this subordinate who could take charge alone, only to see that his face was more angular, and there was a little more perseverance and solemnity between his eyebrows.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but secretly sigh, there was a saying in his previous life, war is the best school and furnace, and Lu Qi's real gold has now begun to emerge.

"Envoy, the last general has already heard on the way back that Cai Xide was defeated and ran back to Hebei, so that the entire Hedong Road will be in the pocket of our Shenwu Army in the future!"

After Lu Qi got up, he sighed excitedly before he sat down.

"If you hadn't gone deep alone this time, the Shenwu Army wouldn't have been able to gain a lot from it. But...... But your return is just in time, and I have something important to discuss with you. ”

Being able to get Qin Jin's affirmation, Lu Qi showed a slight look of pride, but then Qin Jin's words changed, his brows couldn't help but sudden, and asked:

"What, is Cai Xide still planning to fight back? This time, let Lu Qi take matters into his own hands and capture this thief!"

The Shenwu Army was definitely a sudden foreign army in the Tang Army, and other families talked about the rebels and changed color, only Lu Qi Pei Jing and other cadres were happy to see the hunt, and such a sharp fighting spirit was the basis for victory in the war.

Qin Jin smiled:

Cai Xide was seriously injured, and Shi Siming took care of him after he went back. Shi Siming was inextricably linked to Dr. Feng in Hebei Province again, and he was still too busy to take care of himself, and he no longer had the ability to counterattack Hedong. ”

"That'...... Envoy?"

Seeing that it wasn't Cai Xide who was going to fight back, Lu Qi was a little puzzled.

"Didn't I say before this battle, after this battle, the big war will be fought until you can't breathe, what did you say at that time?"

Lu Qi smiled and replied:

"Nature is the more, the merrier......"

At this point, he suddenly realized the meaning of Qin Jin's words, and suddenly asked:

"Could it be that the envoy wants to send troops into Hebei and go straight to Fanyang?"

The idea of going straight to Fan Yang Qin Jin has not been moved, but Fan Yang, which is located in Youzhou, is the old nest of An Lushan, in addition to being heavily guarded, and there are enough materials, it is not overnight, not to mention that the states and counties in the north of Hedong Road are still under the control of the Anshi rebels, if you can't take these states and counties, there is no way to talk about going straight to Fan Yang.

Therefore, after a few deep thoughts, Qin Jin gave up this idea of quick success and quick profit, and the current plan is still to fight steadily and steadily, and attacking the states and counties north of Taiyuan has become his goal in the next stage. However, the change of events is always sudden, and Qin Jin can only make corresponding changes with it.

"This time, the Shenwu Army wants to fight a tough battle, a tough battle, and only the old foundation of our Shenwu Army can do it, so I plan to use the front army as the main force!"

This surprised Lu Qi, he always thought that Qin Jin would attack the prefectures and counties in the north of Hedong Road, but most of those places were local armies swaying from side to side, and they couldn't be considered offensive battles at all, so he couldn't help but be a little confused.

Qin Jin came to the huge screen in the hall and pointed to the mountains and rivers above.

"Seven days of the whole army, march here!"

Lu Qi's gaze jumped with the tapping of Qin Jin's fingers, and Tongren suddenly searched, It was clearly the southern part of Jiangzhou, located on the north bank of the Yellow River, between Yuan County and Xia County.

There were 30,000 horses of Sun Xiaozhe, which were nailed behind the Shenwu army like nails. If it weren't for Huangfu Ke's Shuofang army to confront it in the Anyi and Jingshan areas, I'm afraid that the Shenwu army would not have been able to defeat Cai Xide so easily.

Of course, there is another voice within the Shenwu Army, and this voice is widely recognized. That is, the pseudo-Yan is not monolithic internally, Cai Xide and Sun Xiaozhe belong to two different camps, so Sun Xiaozhe is very likely to choose to stand by and see death without help. There are even people who think that Sun Xiaozhe has done his best because he did not stab Cai Xide in the back.

This kind of thing is not uncommon even in the Tang Army, and people who stab knives in the back and restrain them abound, so it is not surprising.

Qin Jin said slowly:

"Gao Xianggong has raised troops out of Tongguan, wanting to fight a decisive battle with the rebels, and then recover the eastern capital ......"

Silently listening to Qin Jin's narration, Lu Qi thought for a while, and suddenly said:

"Please forgive the last general for saying bluntly, instead of working in vain, it is better to sit back and watch the success. ”

Qin Jin seemed to have expected Lu Qi to say this, so he immediately asked:

"I want to hear about it!"

"The thieves in Xia County and Yuan County were originally used by Sun Xiaozhe to clamp down on the Shenwu army, but it may not be useful to the army of Gao Xianggong Tongguan, and Gao Xianggong was thoughtful, how could he not consider Zhou Xiang before moving the troops? ”

Lu Qi's opinion is almost the same as Chen Qianli's, and he is even more optimistic than Chen Qianli, and he has already determined that Gao Xianzhi will win this battle and achieve complete success.

Of course, Qin Jin didn't have the idea of grabbing merit, in the final analysis, he was still not at ease, and hoped to do his best to insure the counterattack of the imperial court, even if he would fall into the pretext of fighting for merit.

Fortunately, the rebels in Hedong Province have been driven away, and the Shenwu army can calmly move south. Qin Jin stayed in Chang'an for half a year and had seen enough of the dirty things inside, so he knew that Gao Xianzhi's dispatch of troops must also be the result of the game between all parties in the imperial court, and those who were in favor naturally had those who were opposed. Those who are in favor may not have good intentions, and those who oppose may not all be bad ideas.

All in all, there may be a stupid fork that will jump out and stab Gao Xianzhi in the back for some ulterior selfish interests.

Then, Qin Jin could not influence the political disputes of the imperial court, and could only do his best to clear some hidden dangers for Gao Xianzhi, such as Sun Xiaozhe's 30,000 horses stationed between Xia County and Yuan County on the north bank of the Yellow River.
