Chapter 605: Deception and kindness
After Li Cao learned the clues, he made a series of dispositions, arrested more than ten people one after another, and suddenly there was a chilling atmosphere in the Shenwu Army. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info all know that something big is happening in the army, and some people are involved in the whirlpool of power struggles. But this is also the effect he wants, only in this way will he stop the unhealthy trend of increasing complacency in the army, thinking that he can act arbitrarily after guarding Chang'an and making immortal achievements.
This will not only bring infamy to the Shenwu Army, but also cause unexpected trouble to Qin Jin.
As early as the beginning of the large-scale expansion of the army, Qin Jin had anticipated this situation and warned several key henchmen in advance. He also made it clear that this was a problem encountered during the expansion of the army in Hedong. At first, Li Cao didn't believe it, because these people, whether they were private or united soldiers, were extremely loyal and brave in such a dangerous situation as the defense of Chang'an, how could there be all kinds of flies and dogs after the victory?
Now, he had to believe that there seemed to be an invisible force driving people's hearts, but it was still difficult to guess what this seemingly invisible and terrifying force was. Often, when the specific cause is not known, the only instinctive means can be used, that is, coercion and violence.
He felt that the lieutenants assigned to the battalions were not playing their role as they should have and that they had to be reintegrated. However, the Shenwu Army has expanded to nearly 30,000 people, but when it is not a few thousand, the general of the army can be moved, and this idea can only exist in the idea, and it is difficult to realize it in a short time.
"Chang Shijun, you have eyebrows!"
The results of the trial of the suspects arrested by the officials under the account of the long history were soon announced.
The result made Li Cao both surprised and relieved.
Because all the clues pointed to an unfamiliar name, he could be sure that this person was definitely not a middle- or high-ranking general in the Shenwu Army.
"Uncle Sun?"
Except for one name, the identity background behind this name, the family origin, are unknown.
Li Cao immediately checked among all the lower-level military officials, but in the end, there was no such name. Then, there is only one possibility left, this person should be a figure other than the Shenwu Army. He is only the chief of the Shenwu Army, and he has a lot of power in the army, but once he leaves the barracks, he will be unknown in a place like Chang'an, where officials are everywhere.
There was no way, he could only go to Qin Jin to coordinate, hoping that Cui Guangyuan of Jingzhao Mansion would cooperate.
When he arrived at the Zhongjun Shuai Hall, he was surprised that Qin Jin was not there.
"I heard that the Hui soldiers in the Liquan area have sent someone to negotiate, and the doctor will personally go to deal with it, and he will not be able to come back until at least sunset!"
"What did they say?"
Hearing this news, Li Cao was also quite surprised, he didn't expect these people to move so fast, and they actually reacted after only two days. This time, there are Hui people who are good-looking, and he believes that with Qin Jin's temperament and methods, he will definitely make the Hui people dumb and eat Coptis chinensis.
However, at this time, Li Cao couldn't care about being happy about this matter, the case in his hand had no eyebrows for a day, he always felt that he could not escape the blame, and even on the way here, he had already made up his mind, so he asked Qin Jin to take the blame and resign.
The military officer in charge of assisting Qin Jin with the paperwork saw that Li Cao seemed to be in a hurry, so he suggested:
"If Chang Shijun is in a hurry, you might as well go to the post house to find a doctor!"
Li Cao waved his hand and shook his head, so that he would not talk about such secret business outside, but looking at the military official, he suddenly asked:
"When the doctor left, didn't he have anything else to explain?"
The officer thought about it, then shook his head and said:
"No explanation!"
Leaving the Zhongjun Shuai Hall, he bumped into Guo Ziyi, who was eager to get on the horse and leave the camp. I didn't want Guo Ziyi to give up on the horse, and instead came over to ask him about the collision with King Guangping.
According to the rules, the generals in the army perform their duties, especially such secret matters must not be passed on privately, so Li Cao felt that Guo Ziyi was a little abrupt, and only answered vaguely.
Just when Guo Ziyi was about to leave, Li Cao didn't know what to do, and the ghost sent a message to ask:
"Has the general heard of Sun Shutong?"
"Uncle Sun?"
Looking at Guo Ziyi's expression, you must have heard of this person, Li Cao immediately came to the spirit, Chang'an has a population of hundreds of thousands, if you don't have any clue to find this person, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Does the general know the identity of this person?"
Guo Ziyi didn't ask much, only replied:
"This person is now the general of the pro-Xun Yiwei Yu Lin Lang"
Li Cao gasped, this official was in charge of the Forbidden Guard, and the Forbidden Guard was all in the hands of Li Fuguo, the official and supervisor, but it was not something he could interfere with.
"Can the general confirm this person?"
"I once had a relationship with this Uncle Sun, and there will never be a mistake!"
What to do, Li Cao didn't have a clue for a while, this matter can't be done by bypassing Li Fuguo......, right?
As soon as the idea came out, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat, only to feel that this secret case was no longer something that he could merely interfere with in a long history, I am afraid that even Qin Jin himself would have to weigh it, whether he could rashly intervene in it.
At this point, he gave up his previous idea and decided to go to the post house to see Qin Jin immediately.
"General and busy, go first!"
Unable to bother to greet Guo Ziyi anymore, Li Cao led two entourages, rode out of the Chinese army, and went straight to the post house.
When I arrived at the post house, I saw that there was a lot of battle outside, and there were officials, including Qin Jin's entourage. Of course, there are also many Hui people in fancy clothes.
At this time, the person who negotiated with Qin Jin in the post hall was the deputy envoy of Hui who led the troops south, Yao Ge Bijia, in other words, the deputy general of the general Moyan Siluo. Yao Ge Bijia also has another identity, that is, the uncle of Moyan Siluo.
Compared with the arrogant and domineering Moyan Siluo, Yao Ge Bijia is obviously much more humble, and there is a natural awe of the Tang Dynasty in his words and demeanor and even in his bones. It is no wonder that the life of Yao Ge Bijia was the most powerful and powerful period of the Tang Dynasty. The Heavenly Empire has long left an indelible mark on his mind.
And the young Mo Yan Siluo is different, he is ambitious and capable, seeing that the Tang Dynasty was once mired in civil strife, how could he easily let go of this opportunity?
Qin Jin's attitude is very resolute, the Hui soldiers who rob the people must be punished, those who kill people with their own hands must pay for their lives, and the rest of the people shelter criminals and use swords and soldiers in Chang'an City, these are all serious crimes that must be investigated!
"The deputy envoy should know that the use of swords and soldiers by the Tang Jingshi is no different from rebellion! What kind of crime is rebellion, even if the deputy envoy is far away on the grassland, he also knows that the imperial court will never be soft! If he can't clarify the canonical punishment, won't other states come to Chang'an in the future to learn the same? This wind will not last long, please forgive Qin for not agreeing to the deputy envoy's request!"
The words were so blocked that Ge Bijia couldn't speak, he only rubbed his hands in a hurry, and the words in his mouth kept muttering Turkic words, and Qin Jin couldn't understand it for a while. Qin Jin was not in a hurry to speak, he just sat upright and looked at him quietly.
After a long time, Yao Ge Bijia finally seemed to have made up his mind, and then said:
"To tell the doctor the truth, my indisputable nephew is Moyan Siluo, and he is among the one hundred and twenty people who have been arrested! I have long advised him not to act like this, and now that he has indeed stabbed into trouble, how can he ......be good?"
After a few words, the hole cards were finally revealed, and Qin Jin finally had the bottom in his heart, if this deputy envoy harbored evil intentions, or wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, it was likely that he would pretend not to know, and even put Mo Yan Luo to death. If that's the case, he'll really have to put a lot of effort into letting Moyan Siluo go.
Pretending not to know anything and slaughtering Moyan Siluo in a daze is absolutely impossible to do, after all, Moyan Siluo is the same brother of the Hui Huairen Khan, even if he commits a capital crime, whether to kill or not, I am afraid that he can't make a hasty decision. What's more, the Tang Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, even if it does not turn to Hui, it cannot make more enemies.
Therefore, the matter of grinding and sipping must be stopped immediately.
Qin Jin showed a very surprised expression.
"You mean, Moyan Siluo is in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion?
Yao Ge Bijia nodded heavily.
"That's true, Moyan Siluo has been bold and indulgent since he was a child, and today he has caused trouble, please also for the sake of Huairen Khan's loyalty to Tian Khan, spare him, spare him this time!"
Qin Jin smiled secretly in his heart, Yao Ge Bijia is a kind person, and it is the first time for him to bully an honest person, but now that it is involved in the affairs of the state, he must not be soft because of his personal likes and dislikes. This is also a godsend, if the deputy envoy of Moyan Siluo is a difficult guy, I am afraid that he may not be able to give in easily.
But at the same time, Qin Jin also had a relatively clear impression of Huairen Khan, who was far away in the steppe and in the city, and he was able to send his mild-mannered uncle as the deputy of the unruly Moyan Siluo, which showed that he was a man of choice and was not a rampant person.
He pretended to be embarrassed, clasped his hand on the desk again and again, and kept shaking his head.
Yao Ge Bijia was really anxious, so he sent forward to kneel down for Qin Jin, this time out, Huairen Khan instructed him to be optimistic about Moyan Siluo no matter what, don't make a big mess, and successfully scrape a sum of money and goods on the Tang Dynasty. Originally, everything was going well, but for the first time in a hundred years, the Hui cavalry went deep into the hinterland of Guanzhong, which was unprecedented.
However, at this time, there was a mess, and even Mo Yan Siluo himself was caught by someone and sent to prison.
If there is a bad thing about Moyan Siluo, how can he go back and explain it to the Khan?
"The doctor must have a way, as long as the doctor agrees to help as much as he can, Yao Ge Bijia is willing to make cattle and horses for the doctor!"
As he spoke, Yao Ge Bijia stood up, regained his front heart, and bowed deeply to the ground, not getting up for a long time.
Qin Jin hurriedly stood up as well, stepped forward to hold the medicine Ge Bijia, and forcibly erected it in his hand.
"This is what to do, this is what to do, although Qin said that this matter is not easy to do, he did not say that it cannot be done!"
