Chapter 724: The layout is thoughtful
At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent.
"Doctor, the vanguard army has reported, a great victory!"
Qin Jin had been waiting for Qin Yan's news, but he didn't want to come so quickly, and it was good news, just about to call the military official in, Yan Tong suddenly said:
"General Qin Yan must have successfully burned the grain and grass of the Linghu Chao defenders!"
Hearing this, Qin Jinhu glanced at him suspiciously, not knowing why this person was so sure. However, after reading the military report submitted by the military officials, he found that as Yan Tong said, the grain and grass of the Xin'an defenders were wiped out by a fire.
Qin Jin felt very strange, so he looked at him with an inquiring gaze.
Yan Tong coughed lightly and explained:
"The villain had a relationship with General Qin last night. ”
Qin Jin was surprised:
"Your Excellency has seen Qin Yan?"
If this person met Qin Yan and came here alive, it would also be a miracle in his fate. According to common sense, Qin Yan had taken a great risk by sneaking to the east of Xin'an Guancheng, and if he encountered an unknown horse team at night, how could he easily let it go? The most reasonable choice was undoubtedly to kill them all so as not to leak the hidden treasures.
Yan Tong coughed lightly.
"There is also a general Tian, and the villain also saw it together, fortunately, the two generals believed the villain's words, so they sent someone to escort the horse team led by the villain from Changshi Mountain to the west of Xin'an, otherwise the villain would have become a ghost in the mountains at this time, and he would not have the opportunity to see the doctor!"
Qin Jin nodded, and roughly understood the basic situation of Qin Yan and Tian Chenghe's encounter with Yan Tong last night, which must be extremely dangerous for Yan Tong.
After sending Yan Tong down, Qin Jin immediately summoned all the generals in the army to discuss the military situation. Qin Yan unexpectedly burned down the land where he had stockpiled grain for the Xin'an garrison, which was excellent and exciting news for the Shenwu Army.
"The rebels are running out of food and grass, and Xin'an will not be able to defend it, why don't the doctors send troops now, don't wait until two days later, to give the rebels a chance to breathe!"
Qingxuzi has always been fast-talking, and before he could speak, he immediately won the contempt of the generals in the army. He doesn't understand military affairs, but he likes to point fingers, and in the end, most of them can only bring humiliation on himself. Due to this situation, the real human aura on the top of Qingxuzi's head has gradually faded, and most people only know that this is an open-mouthed and somewhat crazy Taoist!
"In the end, it was not advisable to change the planned date. What Qin Yan burned may not be all the grain and grass of the rebels, it should only be a temporary transfer of grain storage place, at most a month's worth of grain. Moreover, Xin'an is only 100 miles away from Luoyang, even if the grain is transferred from Luoyang Hanjiacang, it may not be too late. Therefore, burning Xin'an's grain and grass is certainly very happy, but it will not have a decisive impact on the battle situation!"
Qin Jin nodded, Yang Xingben's thoughts coincided with him, Xin'an was already very close to Luoyang, food supply was never a problem, where to transfer food was just a matter of convenience.
Yang Xingben's statement was quickly agreed by most people, and everyone agreed that the battle plan should not be affected by this unexpected victory.
"What the last general is worried about now is where the men and horses of the Hui Department have gone? Is their position still the same as before? If they turn against each other, it will be the biggest trouble for the Shenwu Army!"
To say that this situation is troublesome is really not enough to describe the extent to which Qin Jin is worried about it. If the Hui soldiers really fell to An Lushan and suddenly appeared on the battlefield at the most critical moment of the war, it was possible to completely collapse the Shenwu army!
Therefore, it is necessary to ascertain the movements of the Hui troops as soon as possible within the two-day period. After all, there are 20,000 Uighur soldiers, and it is impossible to disappear out of thin air, and no matter where they move, there will always be traces to follow.
Qin Jin's estimate was right, it was indeed impossible for the 20,000 Hui soldiers to disappear out of thin air, and news also came from the east of the river after noon that day, and the Hui soldiers suffered a major defeat in the area of Yuan County, and Mo Yan Siluo and Yao Ge Bijia's uncle and nephew were both slightly injured. However, the defeated Hui soldiers were not the Shi Siming troops north of the Yellow River, but the Shenwu army of the Luqi Division stationed in the southeast of the river.
Mo Yan Siluo hit a big nail in Yuan County, so he had to change his route and flee south, but Lu Qi did not accept it when he saw it, but kept chasing after him. In desperation, Mo Yan Si Luo's uncle and nephew had no choice but to ask Qin Jin for help and let Lu Qi let him go.
The one who personally came to the Kip Stone army to beg for mercy was Yao Ge Bijia himself. This gray-haired old man was full of embarrassment, and when he saw Qin Jin, he knelt down and asked for his forgiveness.
Seeing that the main force of the Tang army was showing signs of collapse, the uncle and nephew took the opportunity to withdraw their troops and crossed the Yellow River north in order to avoid the rebel army. And the main force is also wide open because of this, and there is no power to return to the sky.
After Fang Xuan heard the news that Yao Ge Bijia personally went to Kip Shi to plead guilty, he rushed to the army angrily from the private people, although he was not good at military affairs, but he also knew how Mo Yan Si Luo's uncle and nephew sold them, so he had long hated these two uncles and nephews.
Finding that Fang Xuan appeared in the Qin Jin army in a good manner, Yao Ge Bijia was frightened, he knew that Qin Jin was not a good man and a woman, and he had always had a lot of prejudices against the Hui people, in case he listened to Fang Xuan's words, it was not impossible to really kill the 20,000 Hui warriors!
However, Qin Jin did not express his position immediately, but only asked why Yao Ge Bijia was pursued by the Shenwu army led by Lu Qi.
Yao Ge Bijia did not dare to speak, and told the truth that after they crossed the Yellow River in the north, they felt that there was no surveillance of the Tang Dynasty army, so they wantonly plundered the southeast of the river, during which the evil deeds of adultery, adultery, and plunder were indispensable. At this time, the Luqi garrison was happy, and it was only a hundred miles away from Yuan County, and after learning about the evil deeds of the Hui soldiers, they sent troops in anger, defeated them in a battle, and chased and beat them fiercely, vowing to eliminate the evil!
After a long time, Qin Jin said coldly:
"Your ministry should also know the military laws of the Tang Dynasty, and those who rob the people will not be forgiven, but I don't know how your ministry will atone for their sins?
Yao Ge Bijia just kept saying:
"Everything is up to the doctor, and my uncle and nephew have no complaints!"
Qin Jin was noncommittal, and looked at Fang Xuan again.
"Dare to ask Xianggong, how to deal with it?"
After Fang Xuan scolded, his heart was also a lot clearer, at this time, he had to prioritize, punishing the Hui people was the right thing to do, but it was possible to ask for trouble if they were forced to a dead end.
"This is in the Shenwu Army, how to deal with the decision, presumably the doctor has his own opinion!"
If he lightly dealt with the crime of Mo Yan's uncle and nephew, he really couldn't say it, and he could only express his support for Qin Jin with such an ambiguous attitude.
In the end, Qin Jin also convened a special military meeting for this purpose, and this kind of matter is better decided by public opinion, and everyone's opinions are unified, so that the impact of this matter will be minimized.
The disposition of Uncle and Nephew of Mo Yan Siluo is considered to be put on hold for the time being, but the perpetrators who directly participated in the rape and plunder must be handed over and beheaded in public, so that they can give an account to the victims.
When Yao Ge Bijia learned of this disposal plan, he was grateful to Qin Jin, and after getting Qin Jin's handwriting, he hurriedly crossed the river to the north that night to relieve the siege of his trapped nephew.
After Yao Ge Bijia left, Yang Xingben found Qin Jin, and he was a little resentful of indulging Mo Yan's uncle and nephew, and he was afraid that after this incident, the Hui people would become even more intensified, and they had no fear.
"It's also a matter of no choice, now the primary enemy is An Lushan, and the Hui Ministry is an ally that the imperial court must strive for, even if they are not allowed to contribute, they must not be allowed to stand on the opposite side of the imperial court. The current disposition is just an expedient measure, and in the future, the chaos will be calmed down, even if the old matter is brought up again, who can stop it?"
Yang Xing's eyes were brilliant.
"Didn't the doctor plan to let go of this uncle and nephew?"
For Mo Yan Si Luo and Yao Ge Bijia, Qin Jin still has a deeper plan. It has only been more than 30 years since the establishment of the Hui Dynasty, but the country is thriving, and all the tribes of the steppe have all submitted to Huairen Khan. The Uighurs also seem to have the momentum of replacing the Turks and becoming a new generation of steppe hegemons.
This was by no means what Qin Jin wanted to see. Although the successive khans of the Hui tribe had a close relationship with the Tang court, there was no affection between the states. Now that the Tang Dynasty is going downhill, the Hui Dynasty is increasingly becoming a force to be reckoned with that can easily restrain the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, maintaining a relatively unstable Hui is the most in the interests of the Tang Dynasty.
Qin Jin also knew that Moyan Siluo was not a person who was willing to be lonely, and sooner or later he would turn against his brother Huairen Khan, and whether it was Huairen Khan or Moyan Siluo, in order to fight for power and protect himself, he must urgently need the support of the Tang Dynasty. In this way, the Tang Dynasty can mediate, clamp down, and reap the benefits of fishermen!
When Qin Jin slowly said these ideas, the shock in Yang Xingben's heart was incomprehensible. At this time, everyone's attention was on pacifying the An Lushan Rebellion, but Qin Jin had already begun to focus on the future.
"In this way, Moyan Siluo and Yao Ge Bijia really can't move them easily, otherwise it won't be so easy to find someone who can argue with Huairen Khan!"
Yang Xingben was a little indignant at the beginning for letting go of Uncle Mo Yan and Luo, but now after listening to Qin Jin's words, his doubts suddenly disappeared.
Moyan Siluo and Huairen Khan are brothers of the same birth, and their status is far from being comparable to other men in their family, it can be said that they are second only to Huairen Khan.
After the Shenwu army was repaired, it set out early the next morning, waving its flags and waving its mighty and mighty troops, and the troops were directed at Xin'an City! In addition to the fallen prime minister Fang Xuan, there was also Yan Tong, who was the secret envoy of the pseudo-prime minister Yan.
