Tian Chengsi specially sent several groups of people to Chang'an to send a message to ask for rebellion, who knew that he waited for two days in a row and did not see the slightest intention of the Tubo army, although for some reason, he was also a little unable to hold his breath, and withdrew all the horses that were scattered in one go.

"It seems that those Tubo people entrenched in Chang'an don't take our brothers seriously, it's better to make a bigger noise and see how they react!"

Several lieutenant generals felt that their Zhonglang general was a little too bold, since the Tubo people had no further action, they should accept it when they saw it, but they couldn't stimulate those Tubo people who were cruel by nature. The top priority is to retreat safely to Feng Yijun and borrow troops from Du Yuanjun.

However, what Tian Chengsi decided, even if the nine cows could not be pulled back, seeing that several subordinates were strongly opposed, he immediately took the county court's public case.

"Do you want to rebel? I will decide if I say this matter, and if there is any objection, get out immediately!"

With such a final word, the subordinates were not opposed, and they expressed their willingness to follow Zhonglang to kill the enemy, but how to kill it had to be shown by Zhonglang General.

Tian Chengsi coughed a few times, cleared his throat, picked up a map on the public case, and pointed to several county towns north of Liyang.

"See, I plan to get down all these dozen county towns and let them publish a rebellious article together. ”

When all the soldiers heard this, they all looked at each other, no one thought that he was so whimsical, and the Tubo people were not stupid, how could they tolerate them stirring up wind and rain in the hinterland of Guanzhong? I don't know what happened in Chang'an, why there was no reaction to the earth-shaking noise of Liyang's movement?

"Go back, have a good rest, and start tomorrow morning!"

At sunset, someone from Chang'an came, but he was an ordinary scribe, and there was no one else. All he sent was a letter from Jingzhao Mansion. Because Liyang is within the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion as usual, it is normal for Jingzhao Mansion to ask in writing.

When Tian Chengji got the report, he was also surprised, it turned out that Chang'an had received the text he had passed on, but he didn't believe it was true, and specially sent someone to investigate.

According to the intentions of several lieutenants, it was a matter of killing the scribe, but Tian Chengsi suddenly had an idea.

"Why don't we do what we plan and play a good show with him?"

The county magistrate Zhang Jie was forcibly ordered to receive the scribe sent by the Jingzhao Mansion, and when he talked to him, he also pretended to be very surprised, and at the same time swore to the sky that he would never know anything about the rebellion, and even said that it was maliciously framed by someone with ill intentions.

The hospitality of good wine and meat, and the gold and silver before leaving, the scribe set foot on the official road back to Chang'an, Zhang Jie and other local officials took a long breath, these people were secretly praying that the plague gods of the Shenwu Army would leave quickly, and then they would be wrong, pretending that nothing had happened.

It's a pity, how could Tian Chengsi let them go easily?

Just after Zhang Jie left, he immediately summoned Zhang Jie to discuss with him:

"I am going to leave at noon today, and I ask the Ming Mansion to write a letter for me and introduce me on my behalf. ”

Looking at Tian Chengsi's rather playful smile, Zhang Jie couldn't figure out what the killing god had in mind for a while, so he had to ask honestly:

"I wonder who Zhonglang will need to introduce next?"

"It's not a big deal, look at it, it's all on the list!"

A list was thrown in front of Zhang Jie, Tian Chengsi still looked arrogant, but the county commander Zhang Jie was like a submissive echo worm, and hurriedly picked up the list with both hands, and couldn't help but be shocked after just a few glances.

"This, this ......"

Although Zhang Jie's ability is mediocre, it doesn't mean that he is a stupid person, the list is all listed in the county orders of the surrounding counties, as for Tian Chenghei's purpose, it is obvious.

However, does he have the courage to say no? No, if he says a single no, I am afraid that Tian Chengji will have the idea of slashing him with a knife. After two days of private contact with Tian Chengsi, he also had a general understanding, and Tian Chengsi didn't seem to know his own background at all, and he never concealed his experience as a general under An Lushan, on the contrary, he felt that those years of fighting with the Khitans were an irreplaceable part.

Zhang Jie secretly thought to himself, although this Tian Chenghei is a Han man, he has been living with those miscellaneous Hu in the north for more than ten years, and he has been fighting with Hu Lu all year round, and his wildness is like a wild wolf, which makes him unruly, and maybe only a hero like Qin Jin can control it.

Thinking about himself again, Zhang Jie secretly gritted his teeth, and only did his best to meet the other party's requirements for people like Tian Chenghe, otherwise people would not care about the fall of the knife, and there would be one more unjust soul in this world. In fact, he was not wronged, as the saying goes, the matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king, since he was full of food, he easily betrayed the court in the end, and he was willing to be Li Chenghong, the puppet emperor eagle dog, has been despised by the world.

"Why, don't want to introduce me"

"No, no, no, Zhonglang will misunderstand the meaning of the subordinates, and the subordinates are only thinking about whether there is a better way to win their trust!"

Who knows, Zhang Jie's deliberate words of curry favor won Tian Chenghe's cold eyes.

"Let you do what you want, don't think about it, don't think about it, keep your duty, is the way to protect yourself!"

In just a moment, Zhang Jie felt a chill surging up from under his buttocks, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat. Facing the moody Tian Chenghe, he was deeply afraid to the bones.

Tian Chengsi sent a number of hundred-strong teams to enter the cities of each county with Zhang Jie's recommendation, and then capture the thief and the king, and then concoct the same method after capturing the main officials of the county court, and then control the entire county seat. In just one day, he took the three county towns of Yunyang, Sanyuan and Jingyang. And Tian Chengsi himself is still sitting in Liyang, listening to the good news coming frequently, he is also ecstatic.

For the sake of safety, the horses that had been withdrawn before were scattered again, and their bottom line was that they must not be less than ten miles away from the Tibetan chasing army, otherwise there would be a danger of being bitten and then the whole army would be annihilated.

However, Tian Chenghe's caution seemed to be a bit too much in practice, and the Tubo people didn't seem to care much about the north of Weishui, except for sending a scribe to Liyang to investigate the details, and they sent him back, there was no movement.

Regardless of the situation in Chang'an, as long as the attention of the Tubo people was not north of Weishui, he would have enough time to let go. It's not enough to just win three counties including Mihara, in order to create enough sensation, he must also have enough chips.

Therefore, Tian Chengsi set his sights on Liquan and Fengtian to the west of Jingyang and Yunyang, because these two places are the necessary places to go to Ganliang and other places. What surprised Tian Chengsi was that the county commander of Fengtian County was very active in erecting a banner against Li Chenghong after learning that the person sent was the Shenwu Army.

This made Tian Chengsi suddenly realize that because Li Chenghong relied on the Tubo people to win the throne, and he was a puppet of the Tubo people, this alone would not get the support of many people, and the reason why no one stood up to oppose it now was because the Tubo people were now powerful, and many people had to defy themselves in order to protect themselves, and as long as the time was ripe in the future, a large number of officials would inevitably stand on the side of the Shenwu Army. The Fengtian County Order did not hesitate anyway is the most direct example.

After realizing this, Tian Chengsi immediately wrote a detailed military report to Tongguan, in addition to reporting the situation in the hinterland of Guanzhong, he also wrote his bold ideas, hoping to gain the support of Qin Jin.

If this is successful, the Shenwu army will inevitably control half of the counties north of Weishui without bloodshed, which is definitely an extremely fatal blow to the Tubo people. The fast horse envoy returned to Liyang in the early morning of the next day, and at the same time brought Qin Jin's authorization, allowing him to let go of his actions, and the main force of the Shenwu army would contain the Tubo people in front of Tongguan.

At this time, Tian Chengsi realized that the reason why the Tubo people had no time to pay more attention to the north of Weishui was that they were doing their best to conquer Tongguan in one fell swoop. Although Qin Jin did not directly state this matter in his reply, he was a veteran of the battle for a long time after all, and he made such a judgment from just a few words.

Tian Chengsi rubbed his hands excitedly, he never thought that he would have the opportunity to influence the situation in Chang'an in Guannei one day.

It was another day's work, and most of the dozen or so counties north of Weishui in Jingzhao Prefecture were controlled by Tian Chenghe, and now his subordinates were basically divided into pieces and assigned to various counties to control the situation. In other words, the situation at this moment is that there is no turning back from the bow, and if the Tubo people suddenly come to attack Liyang, he will not even have a chance to fight back, so he can only choose to flee in disgrace. However, there is no shortage of gamblers in this world, and Tian Chengsi is a very bold gambler, who either wins a lot of money or loses his fortune.

Soon, the news of the horse was sent back to Liyang, and the Tubo army near Chang'an was really gathering, and many people and horses had begun to move in the direction of Tongguan, which also confirmed Tian Chengsi's previous judgment, the Tubo people should have felt that they had gained a firm foothold in Chang'an, so they wanted to further control Tongguan, so as to completely turn the entire Guanzhong into their own yard and take it away.

In fact, Tian Chenghe's expectation was roughly not bad, at this time Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was intensively planning how to conquer Tongguan in one fell swoop, and he roughly agreed with Shang Xijie's suggestion, that is, first pretend to attack Tongguan in a big way, and then take Feng Yijun by surprise, first pull out the nails nailed in the pass by the Shenwu army, and then you can let go of the battle without worries.

In order to succeed in the first war, Shang Xijie personally led a large army to attack Feng Yi County, in their opinion, Feng Yi County is unsafe to defend, and the county governance of Tongzhou City was burned down by the hands of the thieves and rebels a few years ago, even if it is barely repaired, it is difficult to compare with the past, and the defensive nature is naturally greatly reduced.
