Chapter 395: The storm is coming

"Well, the battle of Jiangzhou completely opened up the passage between Guanzhong and the northern capital, if you can seize the opportunity and pacify the thieves within the year, it may not be impossible!"

Just a day ago, Li Longji had always adhered to the argument that he had long accepted, and it was difficult to win a quick victory in the battle to quell the chaos. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info To Gao Lishi's surprise, it was only a short night, and the Son of Heaven was so confident that he really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Saint, the war is complicated, and you should think about it in the long run!"

Colliers still believes that in the current situation, although he has won one or two battles, he still needs to fight steadily and steadily, and only after consolidating the current victories can he consider the issue of recovering the fallen counties. However, it was rare for the Son of Heaven to smile, and Gao Lishi didn't want to ruin his interest, so he could only echo it, but he inadvertently shifted the topic to Qin Jin.

"The First Battle of Jiangzhou is indeed of great significance, but all meritorious personnel should be rewarded to inspire the heart of the country's people to fight. ”

Li Longji nodded, Gao Lishi is right, he really can't be negligent in rewarding merit, otherwise it is likely to dampen the enthusiasm for resisting thieves that is gradually recovering in **, but how to reward merit is still a headache for Li Longji. After all, the psychological damage caused by Qin Jin to him could not be erased overnight, and if he was given real power, wouldn't it aggravate his worries in this regard? However, if he was slightly biased in rewarding merits, the consequences would not be what he was happy to see.

Gao Lishi has followed Li Longji for decades, and he has long known the temperament and thoughts of this old man, and he can also guess what he is worried about. However, this problem is not difficult for Colliers.

"I heard that the saint had long intended to marry the insect girl to Qin Jin, and the old slave thought that it was better to put it on the agenda!"

Listening to Gao Lishi's suggestion, Li Longji's expression moved, he had indeed discussed with Princess Huo Guo and confirmed the marriage of the worm mother before, but the date had to wait until after the chaos was quelled. If the marriage date is advanced, it is not a good way, so as to not only give favor to Qin Jin, make the hundred officials and people impeccable, but also avoid rewarding and favoring Qin Jin to make Qin Jin's power too heavy.

"This matter can be discussed, and I will negotiate a charter when I meet with the eldest princess. ”

Solving the trouble for the Son of Heaven, Gao Lishi breathed a long sigh of relief, he was very worried that excessive exertion and anger would crush Li Longji's body, after all, he was an old man in his seventies, and he was not as endurable as he was in his prime. Therefore, whenever there is a major event, Colliers will give advice and advice to the Son of Heaven in the most gentle way.

Gao Lishi is a person who has just walked through the ghost gate, and he knows how uncomfortable it is, so he doesn't want the Son of Heaven to collapse under the situation of internal and external difficulties, once it collapses, it will not only be Li Longji's personal tragedy, but also a disaster for the Tang Dynasty. Having lost the helmsman of the Yuji world for more than 40 years, it is really impossible to say when the broken ship of Datang, which was poked by An Lushan, will sink back.

"It's been two days since I entrusted Wei Fangjin with full authority to thoroughly investigate the rumors in Beijing, and now there is no ...... to be trusted."

After the excitement, Li Longji remembered the troublesome thing again, whether the rumor that Gao Xianzhi colluded with An Lushan was deliberately spread by someone with a heart, or whether some people were negligent and did not leak it. But rumors are rumors after all, and the gift slip presented by Yang Guozhong was like a thorn deep into his throat, and he couldn't swallow it in pain.

However, Li Longji knew that Yang Guozhong had a holiday with Gao Xianzhi, so he entrusted Wei Fangjin, who was estranged from the relationship between the two, with full authority. However, although he entrusted Wei Fangjin with full authority, he did not fully trust this person, and always felt that this person would be interested in favoritism.

"The old slave of the man named Zhang Chao has been interrogated several times, and what he said should be true, not like a lie. However, the old slave still felt that there were too many strange things in it, and how could Gao Xianggong be able to protect the safety of the saint regardless of life and death when he was in danger, how could he secretly collude with the traitor?

Compared with the Son of Heaven, Gao Lishi still trusts Gao Xianzhi more, and thinks that Gao Xianzhi collaborates with the enemy, and there must be a big secret behind it. However, he didn't dare to pack the ticket, and he had no intention of standing up to exonerate Gao Xianzhi, because with his experience, no one who was involved in this kind of whirlpool would end well, and the tricky thing about it now was that Gao Xianzhi was in control of the Tongguan army, and he was by no means a person who could be easily shaken.

"That Zhang Yuzhen also interrogated in person, it's a dead brain, Sun Xiaozhe sent this person to Chang'an, is it because he doesn't know who he is?"

Although Li Longji is old, his years of experience as the Son of Heaven have long allowed him to develop a pair of fiery eyes, and he rarely misses in breaking people.

After thinking for a while, Li Longji came to the bookcase in three or two steps and sat down, and the dragon and phoenix danced with his pen.

……

In Tongguan, Gao Xianzhi continued to inspect military affairs inside and outside the pass as before, while continuing to dig deep trenches outside the pass to cope with the coming winter. After the last autumn, the war horses became fat and strong, which was equivalent to the moment when the war was about to break out. Any slackness now will be retributed in future battles, so Gao Xianzhi, who had suffered a lot last year, did not dare to have the slightest slack at this time.

However, the things that made him feel heavy one after another, the Son of Heaven rejected his letter, and made it clear that Pujin belonged to Feng Yijun, and Qin Jin was never at fault, and the court had no reason to allow him to seize Pujin's letter.

Gao Xianzhi sighed, it was true that his move to seize Pujin might be interpreted by some people as being arrogant and attacking his colleagues. But in fact, he is seeking more for the country than for his life, doesn't he realize that doing so will only bring him a worse reputation? Of course, he realizes it, but the erosion of the Jiangzhou war situation is only sooner or later, and once Qin Jin is beaten to pieces, if he can't organize a counterattack in Pujin in time, the consequences may be even more serious than imagined.

With a preoccupation, Gao Xianzhi's inspection was a little absent-minded. He stood on the south bank of the Yellow River, looking north from afar, only to see the great river coming from south to north, and rushing all the way to the east with a ninety degree strike in front of him. The reason why he went to the bank of the Yellow River was because he had just set up a cavalry here, and once there was a police in the north, he could act as soon as possible to keep Pujin alive.

Although everything is ready, I always feel empty in my heart, and my emotions are strange and indescribable. Gao Xianzhi suddenly remembered Cui Huan again, this young man is very energetic and upright, I don't know if he can escape after this battle.

"Xianggong, Xianggong, the edict of the Son of Heaven!"

The four words of the edict of the Son of Heaven were clearly transmitted, Gao Xianzhi's pupils immediately contracted, these four words were almost equivalent to a life talisman to him today, the Son of Heaven had always hoped that he could come up with a complete and detailed counterattack plan, although he had to deal with the errand every time, but the truth of the matter was that he couldn't bear to open his mouth to the Son of Heaven no matter what.

Although Sun Xiaozhe's rebels returned in vain in the first battle of Shangyangguan, and on the surface it appeared that the Tang army had won a great victory, but recent intelligence showed that the first battle of Shangyangguan was nothing more than a deliberate move by Sun Xiaozhe to take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, in other words, the first battle of Shangyangguan was defeated in accordance with Sun Xiaozhe's plan.

This also explains the reason why Shangyang Pass was able to be easily recaptured by Qibihe after the surrender of the city. Could it be that the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army is far superior to that of the rebels? Obviously not, all the Tang Army is a newly formed army. The rebel army led by Sun Xiaozhe is seven or eight out of ten veterans of a hundred battles who went south from Fan Yang, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides is naturally clear at a glance.

All kinds of information and inferences were mixed together, making Gao Xianzhi have to be cautious about any decision. Since the Son of Heaven has issued another edict, nine times out of ten it is related to the use of soldiers.

"Go back and take the edict!"

After returning to Guancheng and bathing and changing clothes, Gao Xianzhi took the edict of the Son of Heaven. The eunuch who came to deliver the edict smiled and said: "The victory of Jiangzhou will make the saint feel very relieved, and the pressure on Gao Xianggong will be reduced a lot." ”

Huo Ba Guiren, who was following Gao Xianzhi, secretly glared at the eunuch, this is really a person with no eyesight, which pot is not opened. But suddenly, he was stunned, and then he recalled the eunuch's words, Jiangzhou was a great victory? Could it be that Qin Jin won the battle in Jiangzhou? This, how is this possible? Facing a two-front battle and winning the battle of Jiangzhou, is Qin Jin's guy a god or a ghost?

Huo Ba Guiren has deduced the battle situation in Jiangzhou more than once, and there is no reason to win, and now when he heard the good news, he subconsciously thought that he had heard it wrong.

"You, you said that Jiangzhou is big, a big victory?"

The eunuch didn't care about the rudeness of Huoba Guiren's sudden interjection, and still replied with a smile: "That's right, Qin envoy Jun won a great victory in Jiangzhou, and the sage said that the passage between the northern capital and Guanzhong will not be blocked from now on......"

At this moment, Gao Xianzhi's shock was no less than that of Huoba Guiren, but after all, he had been a soldier for many years, and the city government that was full of joy and anger was far stronger than Huoba Guiren, and after the shock, he felt more relaxation and joy in his heart.

Since Jiangzhou has achieved a great victory, which means that the rebels' arrangement in Hedong Road will be completely broken, he no longer has to worry about the safety of Pujin from all the time, and Yutongguan has relieved the pressure from the north.

In the final analysis, Gao Xianzhi was very curious, he really wanted to know immediately how Qin Jin had won this battle that was impossible to win at all.

Maybe there will be the answer he needs in the edict, Gao Xianzhi unfolded the edict as quickly as possible, but the content of the edict made him suddenly like a lightning strike, his body shook, and his eyes gradually became dark.

"High Prime Minister ......"

"Come on, come on...... Gao Xianggong fainted......"

……

Cui Huan followed Qin Jin into Wenxi County, and the young envoy moved quickly far beyond his imagination. However, after three or two days, the difference in mood is embarrassing. sounded the decision in my heart a few days ago, and I couldn't help but feel like a human being in two lives.

"Cui joined the army here originally, Qin envoy Jun is invited!"

The armor of the Shenwu Army respectfully invited, and Cui Huan was a little sad, because the day of departure had come!
