Although the 5,000-thousand-front army of the Shenwu Army led by Lu Qi suffered very few casualties, due to the long-distance raid and battle, he was already a veteran of the division when he returned to Jinzhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Qin Jin ordered them to repair for seven days, and then all the front troops totaling 10,000 people will be the main force for this southward attack.

This is also an unprecedented challenge for the Shenwu Army, the rear army, especially the Chinese army, is short in the day, and it can still make a difference by rejecting the city and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, if it is a fortification, even Qin Jin has no bottom in his heart. But some battles are not to say that there is no bottom and wait and see, for example, the imperial court went east this time, it seems to be huge, and the military and the people are confident in victory, but the victory or defeat of this battle almost determines the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, even if Qin Jin is disgusted with Li Longji's face and wants to preserve the strength of the Shenwu Army, he must go all out at this moment.

As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade, and in Qin Jin's view, whether there is an order from the imperial court or not, it is the right time for the Shenwu Army to send troops now.

Therefore, almost all the voices of opposition were suppressed by Qin Jin, and in the previous ventilation meeting, he had already made his attitude clear, and the question in front of the Shenwu Army at this time was not whether to send troops or not, but how to win the battle with fewer dead people after sending troops.

Since the recovery of the eight counties in the southeast of the river, Qin Jin's personal prestige has reached an unprecedented state, both locally and in the army. Therefore, his attitude was so firm that public opinion in the military turned from opposition to fanatical support overnight.

Early in the morning, Lu Qi slept sweetly and dreamlessly, pushed open the door and breathed in the cold air of late autumn, and all fatigue and fatigue were suddenly swept away.

His courtyard was on the side of the office building, and the clerks who worked were only a corridor away from it. The mouth and nose breathed the cold air of the east of the river, and the ears were filled with all kinds of rapid and noisy human voices.

Lu Qi, who has always liked scenes, not only did not find these noises noisy, but listened to them with relish. The days of Tianjing Pass turning to ambush were too hard, often lying in ambush in the forest for a day or two of kung fu without moving, and his ears were full of birds except for insects, if this kind of days continued, it was difficult for him to guarantee that he would not go crazy.

Now that I have returned to the bustling city, even the noisy voices of the party officials are extremely deaf.

However, after listening carefully, Lu Qi frowned slightly.

It turned out that these busy officials stopped from time to time to discuss a few words, all of which were about sending troops, and every word revealed a fanaticism for winning the battle.

Suddenly, Lu Qi put away his thoughts about resting for a few days, and he wanted to go to the army to see what kind of attitude the army had. He is not against fighting, but is this blind fanaticism a bit excessive?

It is true that Lu Qi obeyed Qin Jin's words, but his background in a famous family gave him more independent judgment, and he was also a little dissatisfied with some of the policies implemented by Qin Jin in the army, such as the unprecedented difference of setting up battalion supervisors in each battalion. Since then, but before the great battle, the fighting spirit of the battalions has been extremely fanatical. Fortunately, the battalion supervisor could not manage the use of soldiers to promote him, so he was happy to see it happen.

Sometimes, Lu Qi even wondered if the young envoy knew how to use spells, and was able to mobilize the fanatical will to fight again and again without the need for gold and silver rewards, which was really unprecedented, unheard of.

Lu Qi was not a vulgar martial artist, and with this curiosity, he had an in-depth understanding of the working methods of these camp supervisors who had been specially trained, and he couldn't help but secretly say that it was impossible to study such a set of methods without an insight into human nature, so he had a little more awe of Qin Jin.

Sure enough, when it came to the army stationed outside the city, the battalions had obviously received military orders last night, and all kinds of colorful slogans sprung up all over the camp and outside the camp.

Lu Qi suddenly laughed, he had always opposed sending troops, but he was instinctively afraid of the Yan army in his heart, so that he could counterattack according to the city, and he could conspire and surprise attack, so he would attack head-on, and he would lose his confidence without any tricks.

However, with the Qin Jin that Lu Qi knew, which time did not turn decay into magic and make the impossible possible?

Since Qin Jin had the belief that he would win a battle, where did he come from? After the knot in his heart was suddenly resolved, he was suddenly in a happy mood, and after walking around the army, he saw that everything was in order, so he left the camp and returned to the city.

However, Lu Qi had the habit of inspecting the terrain on the spot whenever he went, and he had never surveyed it since he came to Jinju, so he walked around the rather majestic city wall.

Jinju Fortress is located about three miles east of Fenshui, the main river in Hedong Province, and sorghum water flows into Fenshui from east to west in the north of the city. Not only is it an important place, but several large rivers have also become a natural barrier against enemies. After Lu Qi surveyed around the city, he couldn't help but think that if Cai Xide had stationed troops in Jinzhou at the beginning, then it would be unknown whether Qin Envoy Jun could recover the eight counties in Hedong.

However, Cai Xide has his own reasons for stationing troops in Jiangzhou, in the final analysis, it is still for the sake of the nearby grain road, Hedong is short of grain, and without the food support of Hebei and Luoyang, it is impossible to feed tens of thousands of horses with only one or two counties. The Shenwu Army is also facing this problem, if it weren't for Feng Yijun's continuous transportation of food, I'm afraid there would be no Shenwu Army's achievements today.

As for what means Qin Jin used to raise food, it is unknown that Lu Qi was not the person concerned.

When he arrived at the south gate, Lu Qi was just about to dismount and enter the city, when he suddenly heard the horse's hooves galloping, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred and ten horses galloped over like a whirlwind.

But seeing one of the flags embroidered with a big Pei character, Lu Qi's heart moved, and secretly said that it was not him, and when he saw the general who was immediately the leader, he laughed.

"Pei Er, it's just in time, our brothers haven't drunk together for a few days!"

Alcohol is forbidden in the Shenwu army, and now Qin Jin has ordered seven days of repair, and the soldiers have a day off, and the generals will open a ban on alcohol.

Lu Qi is a good wine, and now that he saw his old brother Pei toasting, he invited him to get drunk.

Pei Jing had been training the newly formed Chinese army in Jiangzhou in the south. The Chinese army, the Chinese army, sounds very famous, but the combat effectiveness is the worst of the three armies in the front, middle and rear of the Shenwu Army, so he has a lot to worry about this, but suddenly received an urgent move from Qin Envoy, so he had to put down everything at hand and hurriedly went north to Jinzhou.

I was in a hurry along the way, and I didn't know where something had happened, and where was I in the mood to drink at this time. Pei Jing dismounted and came to Lu Qi, and did not respond to a drunken invitation, but asked eagerly:

"The envoy urgently summoned me to Jinju, the words in the letter are unknown, you came early, do you know what the matter is?"

"What else can we do but fight?"

Lu Qi asked rhetorically, and then mentioned a drunken Fang Xiu......

Hearing that there was another war, Pei Jing relaxed, wiped the sweat on his face, and said with a smile: "After seeing the envoy, I will drink with you, the wine worm, until dawn!"

Seeing Pei Jing's eagerness to fight like this, it was beyond Lu Qi's expectations, but he dared to assert that if Pei Er knew Qin Envoy's goal of using troops, Bacheng would have lost the interest in drinking again. For no other reason, Pei Jing thought that their next goal would be to cross Taiyuan and head to the north of Hedong Road.

Pei Jing was in a happy mood, and there was wind under his feet, and even Qin Jin sensed the excitement of this henchman.

Qin Jin casually pointed to the couch for him to sit down, and then asked teasingly, "Why are you so happy? Could it be that the mother-in-law at home has a letter?"

Pei Jing said with a smile: "Don't make fun of you, the last general has not yet married a wife, how can he come to the mother-in-law's house? I just heard Lu Qi say that there is another battle, the Chinese army has just been established, and they lack the most experience in battle formations, so this time they must have a good experience." ”

Qin Jin was quite surprised, he thought that Pei Jing would oppose it, but he didn't want to agree with it like this.

"Don't worry, this battle is extraordinary, the front, middle and rear armies of the Shenwu Army have to go into battle, and they must be prepared to fight a tough battle. ”

"Tough fight?"

Pei Jing's expression was a little puzzled.

"Could it be that the Pseudo-Yan army has recently arrived in the northern counties?"

At this point, Qin Jin understood that Pei Jing did not know that the target of this army was the rebel army of Sun Xiaozhe between Xia County and Yuan County. That Lu Qi also deliberately didn't say anything, but teased this Pei Jing.

When Qin Jin said the goal of using soldiers, Pei Jing couldn't even close his mouth in shock. He never expected that Qin Yuanjun would pick up the hardest bones to gnaw this time.

In the previous confrontation with Cai Xide, it has always been to avoid the real and attack the virtual with the real to have today's victory. But the 30,000 rebels between Xia County and Yuan County are like two oxen horns poking there motionless, and its difficulty is incomparable.

As Qin and Jin expected, Pei Jing also had the same attitude as Chen Qianli and Lu Qi at the beginning, and opposed this, believing that the rebels attacking these two places would not gain more than they lost, and that it would not be much good to defeat Yu Hedong, and that a major incident would happen if they were defeated.

However, since Qin Jin had made up his mind, Pei Jing still chose to obey unconditionally.

At noon on the same day, a group of messengers entered Jinju City, and the clothes and armor of these people were very different from those of the Shenmu Army, and they were not local soldiers at first glance.

"Envoy, the letter has been sent by the Covenant Minister. ”

Chen Qianli's voice was full of excitement, they were all old brothers in Xin'an, Qi Bihe had cut off contact with Qin Jin for a long time, and now he finally sent a messenger, how to teach him not to be excited? Moreover, the messenger brought absolute good news, which greatly encouraged the battle to the south led by Qin Jin.

"The Ma army will Wang Sili and General Qibi join forces to defeat the rebels outside the Dagu Pass, behead tens of thousands, overcome Ruxiang and Hucheng in a battle, Gao Xianggong led the army along the south bank of the Yellow River, and Hongnong County will be ...... soon"

This news was very unexpected by Qin Jin, he always thought that the first battle out of the pass would be extremely difficult, but he didn't expect to win the first battle, and he recovered two cities outside Tongguan in a row.
