Back in the Pujinqiao barracks, Qin Jin did not give up hope of continuing to contact Ashina Congli, now is not the time to do it without a word, when everything is not on the table, we must do our best to fight for all the forces that can be fought for. If he shows a little aggressive posture now, it is likely to push Ashina Congli to Sun Xiaozhe's side.

discussed with Huangfu Ke and Pei Jing for a while. In the end, there was no workable result.

Huangfu Ke's meaning is very clear, after the temptation, Ashina Congli obviously has different ambitions, it is better to take advantage of Sun Xiaozhe's hand to the east of the river to get rid of this hidden danger as soon as possible. His attitude has changed one hundred and eighty degrees from before, from thinking that Ashina is quite brave and fierce, to having to get rid of it, and he has made a decision just after meeting him.

Pei Jing's view is more conservative, it is better to spend money to buy, everyone loves money, food and rice, wouldn't it be more prudent to make a condition that the other party can't refuse?

However, Pei Jing's words made Huangfu Ke's face flush, because he himself had reached a condition with Qin Jin to pay military rations monthly, so he was at peace with the Shenwu Army. In other words, the people who are greedy for small profits in Pei Jing's mouth not only have Ashina Congli, but even include Huangfu Ke.

Although Huang Fuke declared his opposition to the Tang Dynasty as a last resort, he actually did not have a firm anti-Tang heart, and it would be a great insult to compare him to a villain who was greedy for fame and fortune.

Qin Jin shook his head.

"Some people can cooperate, some people can't, we have to choke his neck and force him to be willing to do things in a down-to-earth manner......"

Pei Jing and Huangfu Ke were stunned, although Qin Jin's words seemed peaceful, they both smelled a strong murderous intent from them.

Huang Fu Ke's face softened a lot, and he felt that Qin Jin should have adopted his suggestion when he said this. And Pei Jing also thought that Qin Jin denied his opinion, so he tried his best to dissuade him, "You can't do this, once you fight, maybe it will be cheaper for Sun Xiaozhe's thief!"

Qin Jin smiled and said:

"Who said that you want to fight with Ashina? ”

Soon, a horse flew out of the Pujin Bridge barracks, crossed the Yellow River pontoon bridge, and went straight to Hedong City.

When Ashina received Qin Jin's handwritten letter from Congli, the sun had not yet set, but the dimmer red sun dyed the entire Hedong City red. Looking at the letterhead in his hand, Ashina sighed from salute to courtesy, and only now did he confirm that the person who met him today was undoubtedly Qin Jin.

People can be faked, but Feng Yijun's official and private seal letters are never fake.

He regretted that he ended the meeting with Qin Jin in a hurry, if he had known that the other party was not a trap set by Huangfu Ke, he would definitely knock on the stroke.

Now that Ashina is in charge of Hedong City, he can wait for the price to sell it to see if An Lushan can afford a big price, or the Tang Dynasty will be more generous.

However, Ashina Congli did not have much hope for the Tang Dynasty, from the Son of Heaven to Yang Guozhong to Feng Yijun's county governor Qin Jin, how many could he take him seriously? On the contrary, An Lushan was eager to take Guanzhong and would buy people with useful value at all costs.

Sure enough, before the darkness completely enveloped the land, the envoy from the Yan army entered Hedong City.

Unexpectedly, An Qingxu actually agreed to all the conditions he proposed, Shuofang is a place, tearing the earth and sealing the king, attacking and retreating, once the goal is achieved, I am afraid that it is not impossible to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the customs and achieve great things in one fell swoop.

It is still too far away to achieve great things, but the reward of being an official is real.

Ashina looked at the autographed letter from Qin Jin who also visited the desk =from Qin Jin, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a disdainful smile, compared to the generous promise of the King of Jin in the Yan Dynasty, Qin Jin only mentioned orthodoxy in the letter, what is the difference between these illusory things and farting?

However, Ashina Congli did not make a clear choice, but sent away the messengers on both sides with good words. He had made up his mind to bet on both ends, and he could never easily show his inclination until he was completely sure.

Ashina Congli has been up and down in the Tang army for more than ten years, and he knows very well that people's hearts are sinister, and only by firmly holding the initiative in his own hands can he be the safest.

……

After Sun Xiaozhe received Ashina's reply, he immediately ordered the people and horses walking on both sides of the Yellow River to approach Hedong City. To his great excitement, the messenger also brought back good news, the Yellow River in the section of Hedong City was so dry that most of the pontoon bridges had fallen on the bottom of the parched river, and the water was only waist-deep.

This is really a rare opportunity for decades, since Sun Xiaozhe's mother's birth, I have never heard of the Pujin Bridge Yellow River drying up to this point, if you don't go all out to enter the army, you can't help God so much.

However, only three days later, the bad news was sent back, and half of the men and horses who crossed the Yellow River were ambushed by the Tang army. What made Sun Xiaozhe even more angry was that the banner of the ambush ** was Ashina Congli.

"Turkic dog, go back on your word, Sun Mou doesn't break this thief's body into thousands of pieces, it's really hard to eliminate the hatred in his heart. ”

Although he was tricked by Ashina, he suffered a lot of losses from all departments, but after all, it was only a drop in the bucket. As long as the men and horses continue to arrive under the city of Hedong, any sneak attacks and tricks will be useless. Because the Tang army was far inferior to the Yan army in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness, as long as the Yan army that crossed the Yellow River could be gathered, it would not be afraid of any tricks of the Tang army.

At this point, Sun Xiaozhe's plan has entered the final moment, as Shangyang Pass changed hands again, Gao Xianzhi personally rushed to inspect, the battle between the two armies in this place did not change hands and stopped, and even both sides were in the army, and there was a decisive battle in one fell swoop.

Seeing that there were no more extra troops to deal with Hedong City, Sun Xiaozhe finally didn't have to hide it, and justifiably launched an onslaught on Hedong City.

Sun Xiaozhe was equally angry with Ashina Congli, and Qin Jin again sent a message saying that the conditions of Feng Yijun remained unchanged, and that each side would provide men and food to jointly fight the rebel threat from south of the Yellow River. Ashina Congli expressed his great contempt and dissatisfaction with Qin Jin's suggestion. The current world is no longer the world when An Lushan did not rebel, just as the so-called Tang lost his deer, the world chased him, and he did not have enough conditions to want him to die desperately?

Therefore, Ashina Congli decided to cooperate with Sun Xiaozhe and open the door to welcome the Yan army into the city. However, it happened otherwise, and several unidentified groups of people and horses actually attacked the Yan army on the north bank of the Yellow River under his banner.

As a result, the Yan army took crazy revenge, and he no longer listened to his explanation, and burned and looted all the way to the city of Hedong.

Ashina Congli was certainly not incompetent, and soon figured out that this was the Shenwu army on the other side of the river. However, now, the wood has been completed, and Yan Jun did not give him a chance to explain at all, not only beheaded the messenger he sent to ask for peace and explanation, but even made it clear that he would break Ashina Congli's body into ten thousand pieces.

On the first day, the Yan army drove a large number of people to storm Hedong City. Ashina Congli is not a person who cherishes the people, and ordered anyone to be shot to death, even so, but his generals killed one by one until they were soft-handed, and they asked for orders to say that if they continued to kill like this, the army's morale would fall apart sooner or later.

After all, most of the soldiers under Ashina's command are Han Chinese, and there are only a few Hu people, and they are all wearing ** battle armor, so ruthlessly slaughtering the villagers, even hard-hearted people will be unbearable.

Fortunately, the Yan army's siege was relatively hasty, and after losing tens of thousands of Tang Dynasty people, it slowed down the offensive until it was getting dark.

Finally after a day, Ashina recovered from his fright, scolding Qin Jin for being insidious and despicable on the one hand, and sighing at a loss.

"I have long heard that Qin Jin is as cunning as a jackal and a fox, and he regrets that he should not listen to others, so he has today's disaster. So far, how can I do it?"

……

In the Pujin Bridge barracks, the news that the Yan army had arrived at the city of Hedong came as early as noon.

The whole army is excited, although they are all the old foundation of the Longwu Army, but Chen Qianli has been instilling the idea of fighting the rebel Hu Dog in the military branch, and now I heard that I can finally let go of the battle with Hu Gou, I have long been unable to bear it.

However, Qin Jin only ordered the whole army to be in a state of combat readiness, ready to fight at any time. As for when he crossed the Yellow River and fought to the death with Hu Gou, he did not say clearly.

Comparatively speaking, Huangfu Ke's subordinates were rarely subject to the constraints of the Qin and Jin dynasties, and could freely cross the Yellow River to make various deployments.

Finally, a horse galloped from the east bank of the Yellow River, bringing a letter of help from Ashina Congli.

Qin Jin looked at Ashina's letter of request for help, exchanged his palms, and resolutely ordered:

"The whole army is ready to cross the river!"

Pei Jing and Chen Qianli were waiting for this moment, and the military order to open the army was conveyed at an unprecedented speed.

At the same time, on the east bank of the Yellow River, there were horse exploration and rangers from time to time to report various military information.

Just as the Qin and Jin armies crossed the river, the cavalry of Huangfu Ke, who had long been on the east bank of the Yellow River, had already launched a surprise attack on the Yan army under the city east of the river.

In fact, this was also something that Qin Jin had already discussed with Huang Fu Ke, in order to prevent the Yan army from launching a surprise attack when the Tang army crossed the river, so only Huang Fu Ke's men and horses could contain the main force of the Yan army, and there was no time to take care of anything else.

Those who crossed the Yellow River east together, in addition to the 10,000 horses and horses of the Pujin Bridge, and the 20,000 Huangfu Ke Divisions ranked behind.

Qin and Jin's men and horses available for deployment near Hedong City, including the Huangfu Ke's department, should have about 40,000.

It is by no means so easy for more than 30,000 people to cross the river in the dark, and many people still suffer from night blindness, plus the vast majority of the sergeants and soldiers are landlubbers, and it is obviously difficult to pass through a narrow pontoon bridge at one touch.
