While waiting for Li Baochen to come to the audience, An Qingxu asked An Shouzhong again:

"What is the origin of this Li Baochen?"

Although An Shouzhong felt a little unhappy, he still replied truthfully:

"This person's name was An Zhongzhi back then, and he once led eighteen horsemen to Taiyuan and kidnapped Taiyuan Yin Yang Guanghui, so as to relieve the worries of my army crossing the Yellow River in the south!"

Hearing this, An Qingxu nodded again and again, his heart was pleasantly surprised, of course he had heard of the eighteenth cavalry entering Taiyuan that year, but he didn't expect that he would be the main general who came to vote this time.

Just arrived in Yecheng, An Qingxu, who was still in shock, felt for the first time that he might not be able to rely on An Shouzhong alone after receiving the support of the local generals.

However, he always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking for a while, he slapped his bare head again.

"That's right, since this person is the adopted son of Emperor Daxing, why did he change his surname to Li?"

An Shouzhong sneered in his belly, this was exactly what he wanted to see, but his face was silent, and then he spread his hands again.

"The old minister doesn't know why, it's better for His Majesty to ask in person!"

Unexpectedly, An Qingxu had already found a reason for others.

"After all, it is a fashionable trend for Hu people to change their surname to Li, how many people have done their best to change their surname Li after returning to the Tang Dynasty, this is obvious to all, since his father is no longer alive, I think he also has this obsession in his heart!"

This kind of self-deception made An Shouzhong couldn't help but breathe, almost smoked in anger, and changed his national surname without authorization, which was a blatant anti-intention, and An Qingxu also found all kinds of reasons for others to explain.

He scolded the word "faint king" in his heart many times, but he only felt that An Lushan was a hero, how could he give birth to a son as stupid as a bear?

The sound of horses' hooves rose sharply, and a horse galloped in, An Qingxu and others looked forward, and saw a Hu general sitting on a galloping war horse from far and near.

At the moment of being stunned, I saw that the well-armored Hu General had already dismounted and knelt on one knee in front of An Qingxu.

"Minister Li Baochen is late to save the car, please punish Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Li Baochen was so powerful and powerful, An Qingxu was in a good mood, where would he be punished for any crime? It was too late to be happy! Almost at the same time, he rushed over with an arrow step, and his hands were firm to help up this brave general who had just come to vote.

"General Li is not guilty of sending charcoal in the snow, what is the crime? Not only is he not guilty, but he also has meritorious ......"

An Qingxu has been a short son of heaven, and once he is excited, he gets a little carried away, and takes Li Baochen's hand and makes a big wish, and he can see that the ministers on the left and right, including An Shouzhong, are shaking their heads. If he does this, sooner or later he will raise a group of white-eyed wolves who are proud of their soldiers.

Or An Shouzhong asked a rather critical question.

"How many people are under General Li?"

Li Baochen first bowed to An Shouzhong, and then replied without thinking:

"The last general Dun soldiers are in the two states of Weibo, and there are not many soldiers, only more than 30,000 horsemen, but they are all elite veterans brought down from Youzhou. ”

But I listened to An Shouzhong's compassionate question:

"Since General Li has a heavy army in his hands, why did he watch from the wall when Luoyang City fell?"

Asking this question is almost equivalent to tearing your face, but Li Baochen still has no change in face.

"The last general admitted that he misjudged the situation in this matter, thinking that Luoyang City has enough grain and grass in Gaochi, and there are two troops and horses in Ludi and Huaixi on the side, even if the siege cannot be lifted as soon as possible, it should be more than enough for self-protection!"

How could An Shouzhong be so easy to fool? Immediately, his eyes were cold, and he raised his tone.

"That's why you didn't send troops to the rescue?"

Li Baochen was stunned for a moment, and then calmly replied:

"The last general admitted that he hesitated to send troops, but it was not because of this, but he got a secret report, Shi Siming has led troops south, and wants to compete with the Holy Lord, and it is this person that the last general is guarding against!"

This answer not only exceeded An Shouzhong's expectations, but also exceeded the expectations of An Qingxu and others. Unexpectedly, Shi Siming has reversed, so this means that Ashina Chengqing's mission to go north to Fanyang has failed.

An Qingxu finally couldn't help but lose his temper in public, staggered and grabbed Li Baochen's hand again, and asked in a trembling voice:

"According to what the general said, what he said, isn't Ashina Chengqing, isn't it ......?"

The words of the dead body in the back couldn't come out of his mouth no matter what, and he was so anxious that there were big beads of sweat on his head. For him, the situation in Fan Yang was imminent, even far greater than the threat posed by the Luoyang Shenwu Army. The former is a near-term concern, while the latter is a long-term concern.

Although the long-term concern is more deadly, after all, there is still bufferable time, and the near-term worry brought by Shi Siming is the immediate crisis.

All of a sudden, Dayan Tianzi, who was originally calm and relaxed, immediately became six gods and no master, and was even so anxious that he was about to shed tears. He had already regretted it 10,000 times in his heart, and he shouldn't have hastily sent Ashina Chengqing north, which not only angered Shi Siming, but also lost an important minister who could be relied on.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, although Shi Siming is brave, he may not be able to succeed in one blow, his cavalry rebellion is already unpopular, if we can bring in foreign aid to help, this person will definitely be defeated!"

As soon as these words came out, even An Shouzhong couldn't help but look at Li Baochen with admiration. He asked himself that there was no way to face threats from the north and south at the same time, but in Li Baochen's mouth, he actually understated it so lightly.

Therefore, he also became interested, and asked:

"What is General Li's clever plan to set the enemy in chaos and retreat, and where is the foreign aid he is referring to?"

Li Baochen still had a calm expression, and said three words word by word:

"Khitans!"

Everyone present was stunned, and their hearts were quite complicated.

The Khitan was the number one problem in the north in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Longji even handed over nearly half of the troops of the Ten Towns Jiedu to An Lushan in order to deal with the Khitans. Therefore, the people present have been fighting with the Khitan all the year round, and they have long been fighting a knot that cannot be resolved, and the Khitan people also hate An Lushan to the bone.

The relationship between the two sides is so corrupt, the Khitan people have already counted their duty if they don't fall into the well at this time, how can they still send charcoal in the snow and come to the rescue?

"Nonsense! The Khitans and our Dayan are enmity for generations, how can they send troops to help His Majesty quell the chaos?"

Li Baocheng suddenly laughed:

"An Xianggong is a big mistake, if it is not profitable, the Khitan people will not send troops to rescue each other, but what if it is profitable?"

An Shouzhong pressed forward step by step.

"What's the profit?"

Li Baochen said two words lightly:

"Liaodong!"

Hearing this, An Shouzhong was furious and scolded:

"Liaodong is the territory opened up by the two dynasties of Taizong and Gao, how can it be so easily given to the Khitans?"

An Shouzhong was also dizzy, and actually moved out of Taizong and Gaozong in the Tang Dynasty, as soon as the words came out, he realized that he had committed a big taboo, and there was only one Taizu in the Great Yan Dynasty, that is, An Lushan, who had returned to the sky, how could Taizong and Gaozong come?

However, An Qingxu showed a high degree of tolerance at this time, and said hesitantly:

"There is some truth in what An Qing said, Liaodong is not easy to come by, if it is easily allowed to the Khitans, wouldn't it be too much to look down on?"

Li Baochen shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, my Dayan soldiers are strong and strong, and the soldiers will be fierce, as long as the thieves are peaceful, it will only be a flick of a finger to recapture Liaodong!"

An Qingxu seemed to be convinced, and nodded hesitantly:

"There is some truth in this, although the Khitans are fierce, they are not the opponents of our Dayan elite soldiers, if they can really take it back, it is not impossible to give it to them now!"

"Your Majesty, if the Khitan people win Liaodong, it will be equivalent to a tiger with wings, and Fanyang in Youzhou will face the Khitan thieves, and it will be difficult to recapture it in the future!"

An Shouzhong resolutely opposed it, while Li Baochen insisted on his own opinion.

"As the so-called lesser of two evils, if Your Majesty wants to solve this burning and fatal crisis, I am afraid that the only way to do it is to show the determination and courage of a strong man to break his wrist, otherwise it will ......"

At this point, Li Baochen didn't say any more, but everyone knew what he was going to say.

Although Li Baochen's choice of words and sentences was nondescript, An Qingxu still fell into a dilemma.

At this time, He Jizhong cleared his throat and said:

"It's getting late today, Your Majesty might as well enter the industry first and rest, think carefully all night, and it's not too late to make a decision when you have a plan!"

An Shouzhong originally looked down on this person, but now he can't help but secretly praise this as Lao Cheng's words to plan the country, and there is still a night of hard work to plan carefully, which is always a little more buffer time than making a decision now.

"The minister agrees with He Dayin's suggestion!"

This big Yin, he deliberately accentuated his tone, He Jizhong was grateful, and cast a grateful glance at An Shouzhong. And An Qingxu was also relieved in his heart, such a difficult decision allowed him to think about it overnight, maybe he would come up with a better way.

Thinking of this, An Qingxu ordered everyone to enter the city to rest, and the matter could be discussed again tomorrow. He himself entered the county court of Yecheng County under the guidance of He Jizhong, although the mansion of this county court is old, but after all, it is a house, which is more than ten times better than the military tent that leaks on all sides.

He Jizhong felt that the arrival of the Son of Heaven in Dayan was a key opportunity for him to get out of luck and be transported, and it was already the limit to be promoted to filial piety under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. After defecting to the Great Yan Dynasty, he became the coveted county commander, and at that time he felt that he had nothing to ask for. Who knew that being a prefectural magistrate was just the beginning of good luck, and today he became Gyeonggi Yin, as long as it takes time, even if he enters the political affairs hall, it is not impossible.

In the past, He Jizhong didn't even dare to think about it, but at this moment, he found that it was close at hand, as if he could get it as soon as he raised his head.

Therefore, after An Qingxu entered the county court, He Jizhong worked extremely hard and almost tried his best. As soon as he thought that the Son of Heaven had promised to enter the political hall to pay homage to the prime minister, he was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and although he had not rested for a day and night, he did not feel tired at all.

Just when everything was arranged and he thought he could take a break and relax, An Shouzhong found him.
