After laughing for a while, Guo Ziyi seemed to have an understanding. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It seems that what the doctor said is good, Sun Xiaozhe is really short of food in the army, otherwise he wouldn't have yelled and asked us to solve a lot of food for him!"

In this regard, Qin Jin deeply thought that Sun Xiaozhe could indeed solve tens of thousands of mouths by doing this, and the food saved could supply his own elite lineage. However, this is still an assumption, if he doesn't get news of Feng Yijun for a day, his heart will not be stable for a day.

"What went wrong?"

Qin Jin thought about it, and said it unconsciously. This made Guo Ziyi feel inexplicable, and she didn't know what he was talking about.

"Question, does the doctor still notice something wrong?"

Qin Jin suddenly realized what he had just said, but he didn't intend to hide it from Guo Ziyi, this person had long been regarded as his arm, if there was no such a shrewd and capable person, how could Chang'an City be taken care of by himself?

"I was just thinking, why didn't any of the messengers and scouts we sent to Feng Yi return? And Feng Yijun has suffered such a big accident, why hasn't a piece of paper been sent to Chang'an? Doesn't General Guo think it's strange?"

Guo Ziyi has been commanding troops abroad for many years, and her experience is much richer than that of Qin Jin, but she thinks it is not unusual.

The mountains are high and the road is long, and there are many blockades, and accidents may occur in any link, and in case of bad luck, it is not impossible to cut off the news. But he knew that with Qin Jin's mind, it was not impossible to think of this layer, and the key to the problem was still to care about chaos.

So, after a long silence, he said:

"Why don't you send some people over, someone will always come back. ”

Qin Jin only felt a little bitter in his mouth, and said with a smile:

"The horses were sent out every day, but they waited, and no one came back with any news for many days. ”

At this point, Guo Ziyi stopped talking, and this problem is no longer something that can be solved by discussion or persuasion.

……

When night fell, there was still silence inside and outside Tongguan, Pei Jing suffered here every day, for more than ten days, and what made him unbelievable was that there were no rebels inside and outside the country to attack.

What went wrong, the question has been haunted in his head, and he has never gotten rid of it even when he sleeps and dreams.

Finally, as a horse galloped into the city, a piece of news was like a thunderbolt, which shook him like a chicken, and he didn't react for a long time.

If it weren't for his brother Pei Yun's repeated calls, he really didn't know how long he would have been standing like this.

"How, how is this good?"

When he came to his senses, his first sentence was a series of rhetorical questions, but no one could give him an answer.

Fengyi County was trampled by the rebels, and it is said that Baishui County, which was the last resistance, burned for seven consecutive days, and the scene was terrible.

Pei Yu snatched the letterhead from his brother's hand and saw the above content, which was the news brought back by the scout of the horse. If this news is true, then it will also solve the doubts that have tormented them for many days. It turned out that the rebels did not counterattack Tongguan, but had a more important goal.

As for what this goal is, Pei Jing, who has a high status in the Shenwu Army, naturally knows it well and knows it clearly.

"Feng Yi fell, and the grain in the same official warehouse ......"

Speaking of which, Pei Jing could no longer continue, he had already realized what the loss of grain in Tongguan's warehouse meant to both the rebels and the Shenwu army.

"Doctor, doctor...... How can you get back to heaven?"

Seeing Pei Jing's sudden loss of shape, his clan brother Pei Yu was thoughtful, and then grabbed the crumbling Qin Jin tightly, and said excitedly:

"Brother, brother, brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, Sun Xiaozhe's 200,000 rebels are just around the corner. ”

Pei Jing's heart was shocked, and his reaction was a little slow, and he glanced at his clan brother blankly, thinking that he was talking nonsense.

"Don't talk nonsense. ”

Pei Yu hurriedly defended:

"How is this nonsense? The fires in Baishui County have been going on for seven days, but the grass and trees are sparse to the west of Beiluoshui, so how can the burns not be extinguished for seven days?"

The words were like a drum beating hard, making Pei Jing's whole body tremble violently, and he immediately realized the key to it, and his face showed a look of disbelief.

"You, you mean, someone set fire to the grain in the same official warehouse?"

"Exactly!"

Pei Yu nodded happily, but Pei Jing stumbled a few steps, thanks to the bookcase behind him, and he didn't fall because he was propped up on the desk.

"Feng Yijun Taishou Du Fu is a person who loves the people and is a little outspoken, and the guard general Yang Xing is originally a brother of the opposite sex, and they are by no means such a decisive person. Five million stone of grain, who can easily burn it to the ground?"

Unlike Pei Jing, Pei Yu has never seen Du Fu, nor does he know Yang Xingben, but he also has less preconceived notions, no matter what the personalities of these two people are, the fire that burned for seven days and nights is not soil and stones, right?

At Pei Yun's insistence, Pei Jing was also very suspicious, and on the one hand sent someone to Feng Yi to investigate the truth, and on the other hand, he sent several messengers to Chang'an to deliver letters, and at the same time wanted to get accurate news from Chang'an.

Once there was a decisive disposition, Pei Jing regained his clarity.

"From today onwards, the inside and outside of Tongguan will be strictly guarded, and there will be no slackness, and the battle in Chang'an will probably exceed the tragedy of the past few months. ”

Pei Yu was puzzled by what his brother said, and asked:

"Since Chang'an is tragic, why don't you send troops to fight the defenders of Chang'an inside and outside? Anyway, Tongguan is also inside and outside!"

Pei Jing said sharply:

"The more this is the case, Tongguan can't act rashly, if there is any mistake in Tongguan, all the doctor's efforts will be wasted!"

That night, the number of soldiers on duty at Tongguan was twice as large as before, and not only that, but the range of activity outside Tongguan was doubled, and it reached the boundary of Shaanzhou, within a radius of 100 miles, and if there was any movement of the rebels, there would be enough time to react.

And the Tanma who came back from the direction of Fengling Pass also brought back even more incredible news.

It has been confirmed that the men and horses besieging Fengling Pass are Tian Chenghe's subordinates who fled from Tongguan in a hurry, and after a ten-day siege, instead of advancing in size, they fell into a dilemma.

Originally, Pei Jing had already prepared for the fall of Fengling Pass, and even reported the matter to Chang'an in advance, and the answer he received was the same as his judgment and disposal.

Fengling Pass was decided to give up early in the morning, Chen Qianli and the guard general Gao Qi violated the order to defend it, so that it was besieged by the rebels, and the imperial court troops were already stretched, and there was no extra force at all, which was used in Fengling Pass.

Pei Jing also understood that this was not Qin Jin's ruthlessness, not to mention that Chen Qianli had an inextricable relationship with him, and when this was in danger, if he wanted to restore the situation with limited troops, he could only have a difference in priorities, and it was really helpless to make this kind of decision.

However, I don't know if Chen Qianli and Gao Qi defended the city and obtained the law, or Tian Chengsi was too stupid and besieged a small city like Fengling Pass with tens of thousands of people, and it didn't go down for ten days.

After Pei Yu learned the news, he ridiculed Tian Chengsi with disdain as an incompetent person like a stupid pig, and Sun Xiaozhe's choice of this person to garrison Tongguan was also an improper person.

In any case, this is good news, Pei Jing does not intend to reprimand Pei Yun's arrogance, of course he is not a fool for Tian Chenghe, nor will he be naïve to think that Sun Xiaozhe uses people appropriately, in the final analysis, all this is because of Qin Jin's prior planning, unpreparedness, and luck that is so good that even he is unbelievable.

As for Tian Chenghe, after he was defeated, he was able to gather the rout in an extreme time, and this alone is not easy to match. What exactly happened under the Fengling Pass, he couldn't guess for a while.

……

Early the next morning, the siege of Chang'an City was staged again at any cost, but this time Qin Jin and Guo Ziyi were surprised to find that there were many more ordinary people in various clothes who used to fill their lives.

"Sun Xiaozhe is a dog thief, so shameless that he used innocent people to fill his life!"

Guo Ziyi lost his temper due to anger for the first time, but even so, he still did not hesitate to order a fierce counterattack, and no one should be allowed to climb the walls of Chang'an.

The rolling wood and stones, including the hot soup of fire oil, were all beckoned, and the injured did not die for a while, which was miserable, and the immediate death was less painful and tormenting.

Qin Jin had experienced such a miserable situation in the world many times, staring at everything in front of him expressionlessly.

"Those newly attached armies are not all fresh lives, all of them have parents and wives......

Guo Ziyi's snort let out a cold snort.

"Aren't they to blame for rebelling against the traitors and aiding the thieves? If the doctor sympathizes with the traitors, he must not let outsiders listen to them. ”

This sentence is half persuasion, half warning, Qin Jin immediately became vigilant, as a superior person, he must not say something inappropriate, if he is caught by someone with a heart, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

Thinking of this, Qin Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly, he always felt that he could do whatever he wanted with power, but now it seems that this is far from the case, often the higher the position, the stronger the power of restraint becomes, if he acts arbitrarily, he will only be ruthlessly abandoned and destroyed by reality.

Isn't Li Longji a ready-made example? As a son of heaven, he can't do whatever he wants, let alone a meritorious and important man like him!

"Thank you General Guo for reminding me, Qin has written it down!"

Qin Jin said softly, but it made Guo Ziyi a little embarrassed, before this he was regretting his tone of voice, if he offended Qin Jin because of this, wouldn't he ask for his own hardship? Unexpectedly, Qin Jin not only accepted it with an open mind, but was also humble and good, which made him look at the young and powerful person in front of him differently.

"In yesterday's battle, there are not many people in Sun Xiaozhe's army to fill his life, and now these people should be the people who were captured by Guanzhong Zuo, we have to think of a way, we can't let him do anything wrong. ”

Qin Jin changed his words and mentioned the people that Sun Xiaozhe used to fill his life. Guo Ziyi nodded and said:

"What the doctor said is extremely true, it's a pity that the counties don't have the county guards like Du Yuanjun, otherwise the walls are clear, why would Sun Xiaozhe be like the principal?"
