The Imperial Historian, the envoy of Fan Yang Jiedu, Feng Changqing, stood in front of Qin Jin, and he was really as said in the history books, his appearance was not good, and his eyes even squinted slightly. The election of officials in the Tang Dynasty had to evaluate four items, of which the one of the great men bore the brunt. In the case of Feng Changqing, if it weren't for his outstanding military exploits, let alone the official to the imperial doctor, I am afraid that he would not even be able to pass the pass of selecting officials in the ministry.

In the battle just now, the few remaining elite troops around Feng Changqing lost nearly half. From his long-experienced face, Qin Jin couldn't see the emotional fluctuations.

"Is it the Xin'an County Order?"

Feng Changqing looked directly at Qin Jin, this kind of aggressive gaze made him very uncomfortable.

"The lower official is not a county order, but the county lieutenant of this county!"

"Oh?" Qin Jin's answer aroused Feng Changqing's doubts, generally in this kind of emergency, it must be the county order who is in charge, even if there is no county order, there is always a county to make up for it, but the situation in Xin'an is really different, there is only one county lieutenant.

Chen Qianli, who was accompanying him, immediately explained with sincere fear: "The county commander of the county wanted to surrender to the enemy, but he was killed by the Shaofu Jun and the united troops this morning, and the county commander Cui Anshi had already been killed by the county commander Cui Anshi before. ”

Chen Qianli has never seen the biggest official who has exceeded the fifth grade, Feng Changqing, as a border general, is an envoy to the festival, and the official worships the imperial doctor, in his eyes, he is already a high-ranking and unattainable figure. He was in no mood to secretly evaluate his appearance like Qin Jin, only excitement and nervousness occupied all of his mental activities.

Feng Changqing was slightly surprised, and he couldn't see that the slightly weak county lieutenant in front of him had the courage and ability to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion. But he didn't plan to talk about it with Qin Jin, and quickly got to the point.

"It's not that Feng wants to meddle in Xin'an's government affairs, it's really that the rebels are too strong, and Xin'an is in a critical position, and the rebel Hu must be determined to win this place. It is better to ask the county lieutenant to lead the troops to evacuate Xin'an first, so as to preserve the strength, and in the future, after the imperial army recovers the lost territory, it will not be too late to come back......" This suggestion does not mention the people, and if the army retreats, who will drag his family and lead the mouth? It is said that Ci is not in charge of the army, and after many years of military career, he has long been trained to be hard-hearted.

In the Tang Dynasty, the concept that local officials were responsible for guarding the land in the Ming and Qing dynasties had not yet been formed, and it was normal to run away if they couldn't beat it. Feng Changqing's words were very polite, and his judgment was roughly the same as what Qin Jin had speculated before.

These words, if Feng Changqing had said them a few hours earlier, Qin Jin would have agreed without hesitation. Now that he has a new plan, he naturally won't bow down and agree. But Chen Qianli beside him changed color, Dr. Feng's great achievements, and the sound shook the Western Regions, since it was clearly said that Xin'an couldn't hold it, maybe Xin'an was really going to suffer a catastrophe.

"Shaofu-kun?"

Chen Qianli was very conflicted in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.

Qin Jin's answer surprised everyone in the county court hall, "It is precisely because Xin'an is in charge that we can't give up easily, otherwise it will boost the morale of the traitors and fall into the morale of my Tang soldiers!"

Of course, these words were insincere, Qin Jin did not plan to leave, nor did he want Feng Changqing to leave. Because of this, Feng Changqing will go to death and destruction step by step.

Soon, Li Longji will use an edict to dismiss Feng Changqing from all official positions and envoys, and make him serve in white before the army. This is only the beginning of Feng Changqing's bad luck, and then the Tang Dynasty Emperor will soon put him to death, and his old boss Gao Xianzhi will be unjustly killed along with him, these two famous generals of the sonic shock Western Regions will turn into a piece of loess on the bank of the Yellow River.

Qin Jin thought that if Feng Changqing could be left behind, maybe something would change, so he was willing to give it a try.

"The people of Xin'an pin their hopes on the lower officials, how can the lower officials lose their trust? The doctor is kind, and the lower officials are very affectionate, but Xin'an has limited manpower, and at most he can only send a hundred unity soldiers to escort the doctor back to Guanzhong!"

Listening to Qin Jin's words, Chen Qianli almost didn't drop his eyes on the ground, he said this but it was extremely rude, isn't this sarcastic Feng Changqing ignoring the local people and only caring about his own family to flee for his life? At the same time, there are also Feng Changqing's entourage, but these people are very well-behaved, without Feng Changqing's order, they don't even say a word.

In the face of the cynical Xin'an County Lieutenant, Feng Changqing did not laugh angrily, praising Qin Jin's courage, but then he changed his words: "It is commendable to have the heart of serving the country and loving the people, if you only rely on your blood, Feng still has to persuade again." Dare to ask for advice, where to start if you keep the new security?"

Qin Jin didn't know that after the answer just now, Feng Changqing had already classified him as an empty talker.

"Xin'an is the hometown of Hanhan Valley, surrounded by four mountains, soapy water passes east from the south of the city to the mountain, although the city wall is low and broken, but it is still not out of shape to win the danger, if you decide to defend the city, it may not be difficult to do something. The lower officials thought that whether they could hold Xin'an or not, the key was not in Xin'an itself, and there were two key points, the former was in Hebei Province, and the latter was in the deputy marshal of soldiers and horses!

"Oh, I want to hear about it!" Feng Changqing was a little surprised, this young county lieutenant was obviously considering the war in Henan from the perspective of the overall situation, and he had already guessed the strategic intention he wanted to describe, Fan Yang, the old nest of the anti-Hu, was in the north of Hebei Province, if he sent an elite army to the north, it would indeed disrupt the plan of the anti-Hu, and An Lushan would inevitably wave his army to the rescue, and then use this to contain their offensive west of Luoyang.

But these are only assumptions, and it is not easy to send a single elite army? If there really are so many elite soldiers, how can they be ruined by the recruited market peddlers? Besides, even if a second-rate army is dispatched, Hebei Province is already in the hands of the rebels, and if they go, they will not surrender themselves to death?

"The officials of the twenty-four counties of Hebei Province who surrendered against Hu were mostly forced by the situation, and the vast majority of these people still have their hearts set on the Tang Dynasty, and I believe that soon the counties will be reunited to the imperial court. An Lushan will inevitably be cut off, and he will definitely divide his troops and send capable generals to the north to quell the chaos, if the imperial court ignores this, Hebei Province will not be able to hold on to the counties for much time. On the contrary, if the imperial court can send an elite army in Hebei Province to contain the reinforcements from An Lushan to the north, as long as it is delayed, the rebels against Hu will not be able to attack westward, and even Luoyang will become precarious because of the stalemate of the war. ”

Feng Changqing felt that this assumption could not be established, for many years he had been attacked by the Chinese officials of the DPRK in Anxi, and his sense of civil officials was very poor, and in his impression these people were either the kind of empty talk who only talked and did not do things, or they were treacherous villains who played with power, how could such people take advantage of the fire of the imperial court?

Even if there are still people who want the imperial court, the local county officials do not have military power in their hands, and before the arrival of the imperial army, if they act rashly, wouldn't it be an egg to hit a stone? He didn't want to entangle with Qin Jin on such meaningless assumptions.

"For Xin'an, after all, it is difficult to quench the thirst of far water!"

Qin Jin said: "It's different if there is a doctor sitting in Xin'an, if there is really a county guard in Hebei, please ask the doctor to ask the deputy marshal to send an elite army to Hebei Province as Olympic aid." As long as the above two points are in place, the subordinate will dare to issue a military order to defend Xin'an!"

In this regard, Qin Jin, who is familiar with the trend of history, has deep confidence, he believes that Changshan is too protective of Yan Gaoqing will not let him down, according to the calculation of time, it may have officially started anyway, but due to the inconvenience of communicating information, the news has not yet reached Henan. Soon, more than half of the twenty-four counties of Hebei Province will be reattached to the imperial court, and if you grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Anshi Rebellion may be strangled to death in infancy.

Qin Jin's eyes were full of stubbornness and eagerness, Feng Changqing seemed to see a little bit of his shadow back then, didn't Gao Xianzhi also sneer at him back then?

"Okay! If there are really officials in the twenty-four counties of Hebei Province who have an incident anyway, Feng will be as you wish!"

Out of the county court, Chen Qianli chased after him in a cold sweat, and Qin Shaofu fought hard in front of Feng Changqing without changing his face, which made him even more convinced. Seeing that Qin Jin swore in front of Feng Changqing that he would be able to defend Xin'an, his originally wavering determination was immediately re-strengthened.

"It's getting late, where is Shaofujun going?"

Qin Jin was in a hurry to leave, thinking about two things. One was to visit the solidarity soldiers who had been wounded in the First World War in the afternoon, and the other was even more important.

Of the 300 men in the battle, more than 50 were wounded, and almost all of them were severely wounded, and even if they were lucky enough to survive their injuries in the future, they would be left with more or less disabilities.

The most precious thing now is manpower, and the loss of one-tenth of the existing united soldiers in World War I is not heartbroken. In order to increase the manpower in the city and reduce the chance of the people being slaughtered by the soldiers, he decided to move all the people in the villages east of the city to the city or to the west of the city. Because Xin'an City was sandwiched between the north and south mountains, it would be very difficult for the soldiers to detour to the west of Guancheng, which to some extent provided a certain degree of security for the people.

During the night, there were several horses' hooves outside the eastern city, and the united soldiers were highly nervous about it, but fortunately they survived until dawn. Yesterday's battle gave the united soldiers a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and after getting out of the darkness of the night, the anxiety in people's hearts was also dispelled.

Captain Che Biga was ordered to assemble the unity troops in the school field. Many people have noticed that there are hundreds of wooden poles more than a foot long on the school grounds. The Solidarity soldiers knew that these wooden poles with the thickness of their forearms were half-finished products for making spears.

I saw Qin Jin take off his usual cyan official robe, put on a cuirass like a soldier, and stood solemnly in the school field. After the united soldiers were assembled, the assistant officer began to direct the miscellaneous servants to distribute the wooden pole, which was not a little rougher than the original Mo knife, only a spike was cut obliquely on the head, and there was still a little bit of Tang military power in the hand, but like a full farmer.

"From this day forward, these spears are your weapons!"

From yesterday's battle, Qin Jin also found a fatal problem, the weapon of the Mo knife is known as the Horse Chopping Sword, although it is sophisticated enough, but if it is not trained enough, it will be difficult to exert its power, and even for the user itself, it will cause some kind of negative impact.

After a night of thinking, Qin Jin finally thought of the spear array that would dominate Europe for thousands of years. This kind of military formation is extremely clumsy and has no ability to maneuver, and in the eyes of the Tang army, which is accustomed to long-distance attacks, it is naturally worthless. But what Qin Jin valued was its clumsiness.

This kind of military formation, which uses spears as the main combat weapon, has only one tactical move, stabbing straight to the left front. The soldiers no longer have to go through the relatively complicated training of the sword, as long as they remember this action of stabbing to the left and forward at the moment of facing the enemy, they are done.

And one more important point, the spear formation is a sharp weapon to restrain the cavalry, the rebels of the Fan army have many cavalry, once they encounter in the field, even if they do not seek victory, with a skilled spear formation, self-protection should be more than enough. Of course, in order to restrain the cavalry of the soldiers, Qin Jin also planned to further train the crossbowmen and the spear formation in coordinated combat.

Qi Bihe was deeply affected by the traditional tactics of the Tang army's long-distance attack and Mo Dao battle, and he was very disdainful of the spear in his opponent. The spear with a thick forearm is in the hand, the weight is not light, the entire spear body has not even been polished to the most basic, and many wooden thorns pierce the hand, how can this simple weapon be better than the Mo knife?

But this is Qin Shaofu's order, everyone must carry it out, as for whether it will work or not, whether it is a mule or a horse, you will only know if you pull it out and slip it away!
