Qin Jin was stunned, he didn't expect this Li Kaifang to be so shocking, and he summoned him over in the hope of arranging him to a more suitable monitoring position, but now it seems that the ambition in this person's heart is definitely not the case. In an instant, a new idea was born.

Qin Jin didn't think about this kind of thing, but it was absolutely unsuitable with the current situation, not to mention that Shi Siming's rebellion had not been completely cleared, and even those Yang Feng Yin and Yin festival envoys were secretly eyeing each other, and if they were in a hurry, they would probably make themselves the target of public criticism.

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Jin couldn't help but think about it again, Li Kaifang persuaded him like this, was it good or malicious to him? Qin Jin's eyes had already narrowed into a slit, looking at this middle-aged official with angular facial contours.

Li Kaifang's expression was very calm, and his eyes did not have the slightest intention of dodging, and he seemed to be able to see the bottom at a glance.

The current Qin Jin is not only the commander of the Shenwu Army, he bears the weight of the entire imperial court, and he is not afraid to think too much, but he is afraid that he will not be able to take care of it. Because of this, he didn't even sleep for two hours a day, lying down on the couch, and before his consciousness fell asleep, he thought about the people and things around him.

Even if he couldn't guess Li Kaifang's true intentions, Qin Jin didn't intend to be false with him, but was very frank and said the evil consequences of low-key benefits and swagger.

Li Kaifang listened to Qin Jin's words very carefully, and then straightened up again.

"The advice of the subordinates is the right way of a certain country, and if the doctor wants to help the community, he should not care about those small flies and dogs. ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Jin was a little puzzled, the general leader of the country's politics and balancing the situation was not something that could be solved by a righteous sentence, or was this Li Kaifang already a little pedantic? The high opinion of him just now dropped a lot in an instant.

Qin Jin was silent, and Li Kaifang felt that he didn't understand what he had just said, so he explained:

"In the final analysis, it is Doctor Qin who overestimates those petty people, if the doctor can lead the government in the right name, it is above board, who dares to question and resist, it is an enemy of the entire court, and it is a rebellion! If you only lead behind the scenes, I am afraid that you will also end up with a reputation for conspiracy!"

Hearing this, Qin Jin also had to admit that Li Kaifang's words still had some truth, but after weighing up and down, the root of this choice was still due to his character, and prudence became the biggest principle after his weight.

……

Qing Xuzi lived happily in Chang'an City for a few days, he has not experienced such a comfortable day for a long time, when he was cultivating in Zhongnan Mountain, he was thinking of flying into an immortal, but after receiving the revelation in a dream, compared to those unrealistic ideals, it was more down-to-earth.

Early this morning, he soaked a hot soup, and everywhere in his body exuded warmth, and let the maid wait for him to change his clothes and comb his hair, and after half an hour, a very different Qingxuzi appeared. The maid held a bronze mirror, and what was reflected in it was no longer the sloppy Taoist, but an immortal person with fluttering beard and a fairy wind and bones.

However, he knew that such a comfortable life was not a few days long, and there was nothing wrong with it if he continued to enjoy it, at least now power and wealth were at his fingertips, however, there was a fundamental difference between Taoist priests with ideals and those Taoist priests who only knew that they were attached to power and money.

Thinking of this, Qingxuzi stroked his smooth beard and smiled proudly.

After breakfast, Qing Xuzi rushed to the warehouse in the south of the city, he had already heard about Zheng Xianli's training of artillery, and he asked himself if he was interested in firearms, and he was robbed of the front, so he had to go to see where the other party was strong.

After observing the test firing of the artillery, Qing Xuzi was finally convinced, compared to the power of the artillery, the thunderbolt cannon blossom thunder is simply a child's play, this recognition even made him a little discouraged, he even considered whether the firearms battalion dominated by grenadiers still has the need to exist.

The grenadiers are the result of the elite of the firearms battalion, and they are the proud work of Qing Xuzi, and because of the strict selection criteria, there are only about 10,000 people so far.

“…… Why did the innocent people lose their minds?"

It wasn't until someone patted him that Qing Xuzi found that Zheng Xianli had stood in front of him at some point.

Qingxuzi was unwilling to lie to hide his loss, so he said bluntly:

"As soon as General Zheng's artillery battalion comes out, I'm afraid there is no need for the grenadier battalion of the poor road to exist!"

Zheng Xianli smiled very heartily, neither unexpectedly nor pretending to be modest.

"The real person thinks too much, although the artillery battalion is good, if there is no infantry miracle soldiers, it is difficult to support it alone! Come on, come on, Zheng still has some things here, and the real person will know it at a glance!"

Couldn't help but say, Zheng Xianli pulled Qing Xuzi and walked to a house in the warehouse, the house was originally a warehouse for storing things, but now it has been vacated, although it seems empty, but there are some strange things inside.

The first thing that attracted Qingxuzi's attention was a huge screen erected in front of him, which in his opinion could not be described as merely huge, because the upper edge of the screen had almost touched the beam of the storeroom. Upon closer inspection, the silk screen was covered with dense lines, which turned out to be an oversized map.

Qing Xuzi has seen a lot of maps, but like Zheng Xianli, this is unprecedented, he walked in to see the place names marked on it are all strange, most of them have never heard of it, and finally saw a few recognized place names, this is suddenly:

"General Zheng, this, this is Anxi's map?"

Zheng Xianli nodded happily.

"Exterminating the remnants of Lingwu and Tubo is only the first step in Doctor Qin's plan, and the next step is to return to Anxi and force Liang Zai, who has been stranded and does not return, to return to Chang'an. ”

Qingxuzi stroked his goatee under his chin and smiled:

"Is it just as simple as forcing Liang Zai back? Liang Zai is just an old man who is close to his sixtieth birthday, even if he wants to stand on his own feet in Anxi, I am afraid that it is wishful thinking, and this guy is more afraid that he will continue to wait and see, and he does not want to return to the Central Plains early and become a victim of the struggle of all parties! After all, the fate of Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, and Li Siye is still in front of him, how can this old fox not think about it and take a look?"

Zheng Xianli and Qin Jin also discussed this analysis, but the impact caused by Liang Zai was really bad, and it set a bad example that the ambassador of Anxi Jiedu did not listen to the moderation of the imperial court.

But I heard Xuzi say in a weird way:

"I'm afraid that Doctor Qin's original intention was to let General Zheng kill Liang Zai on the spot!"

These words were so sure that Zheng Xianli thought that he had heard the wind from Doctor Qin. However, he quickly dispelled this idea again, Qing Xuzi has been resting for the past few days, and has never been to the Zhongjun Marshal Hall, so naturally he has no chance to talk about this matter with Doctor Qin.

Qing Xuzi and Qin Jin were inseparable when they were in Hedong, and they had long speculated about Qin Jin's temperament and some subtle changes, and it was not surprising that Qin Jin could deduce his decisions on the handling of certain people and things. But Zheng Xianli didn't know, and thought that Qing Xuzi just guessed correctly.

"Poor Dao thinks that General Zheng is going to Anxi, and the real enemy is neither Liang Zai, nor the small local disobedient country, but a big cannibal from far away in the extreme west!"

At this moment, Zheng Xianli was completely shocked, Dr. Qin had a long conversation with him all night, and mentioned more than once that the biggest threat to Anxi was the big cannibal, as for the specific reason for this, Dr. Qin did not give a direct answer, but with his speculation, it must be very complicated.

"How can a real person know that Doctor Qin's real purpose is to eat people?"

Qingxuzi smiled:

"Others don't know, don't they know the poor way? The poor road pinched his fingers and counted, he knew 500 years at the top, and 500 years at the bottom......

In fact, Qin Jin had discussed the problem of Anxi with Qing Xuzi, including the encroachment of the Great Cannibal on Anxi, especially the many restless local small countries that attached themselves to the Great Cannibal, hoping to break away from the control of the Tang Dynasty by virtue of the military might of the Great Cannibal.

"Gao Xianggong once had a big battle with the Great Cannibal, if it weren't for the treachery of the Qarluqs, how could the whole army be wiped out?"

Zheng Xianli said with some interest, he had also experienced that battle, and he escaped back with nine deaths, but it became a regret that has always been entangled in his heart. It's too miserable, tens of thousands of people were besieged and killed, and very few were able to successfully break through in the end, but fortunately, Gao Xianggong managed to escape, otherwise......

The next situation, Zheng Xianli didn't want to think about it, originally he and Dr. Feng wanted to recuperate for a few years, so they went back to the shame of the snow, but who would have thought that a thunder exploded in Hebei, An Lushan rebelled, and they returned to Chang'an from Anxi, and what they didn't expect was that this time it would be completely a point of no return.

Qing Xuzi obviously didn't have Zheng Xianli's feelings, and only sneered:

"Gloro's rebellion is uncertain, Gao Xianggong has known it for a long time, but he is overconfident and underestimates the enemy, and he lost that battle, but in fact he was defeated because the big cannibal was too strong, and Glolu was just a rudder with the wind"

Zheng Xianli was silent, he knew that Qing Xuzi's words were very reasonable, but the Anxi army was willing to admit it from top to bottom, and the imperial court actually did not have many border troops in Anxi, only stationed in a few important places such as Qiuzi, and when it was time to fight, most of the guards recruited the armed forces of the local tribes as help. Even so, * won more and lost less in Anxi, so that everyone was full of confidence and optimism about the big and small wars. Until that fiasco, Gao Xianggong was reprimanded by the imperial court because of this, and many tribes were fluctuating because of this.

"Liang Zai's prestige is not enough to deter the tribes of Anxi, but I am afraid that what he can control now* is limited to some places inside and outside Yumen Pass......"

Zheng Xianli said in a low voice.
