Chapter 54: Yan Zhi will enter the palace
The hostility suddenly came, and everyone's emotions were tense.
"Thousands of cavalry came from the direction of Taolin along the south bank of the Yellow River towards Shaanzhou City!"
"Can you find out the subordinates of the banner?"
"The sky is not clear, and I don't raise the flag, but I look at it from a distance, but it looks like the style of the North Earth's armor. ”
"Probe, report!"
Except for knowing that there was an unidentified cavalry at this time, the other circumstances were all vague, and if these people were rebels, they could come from the direction of Taolin. So far, both the north and south banks of the Yellow River in the Taolin section are under the control of the Tang army, what if it is a friendly army?
Regardless of whether it was a friendly army or an enemy army, Qin Jin resolutely ordered: "Where is Qi Bihe?"
"Let's go down here!"
"Order you to lead 3,000 men and horses to ambush in the mulberry forest in the west of the city. Qin Jin originally wanted him to see the opportunity to cover up the killing, but after a pause, he still said, "Standby!"
At the same time, Qin Jin turned his gaze to Wuhu Huaizhong, who had not spoken much. Wu Hu Huaizhong's identity as a general is extremely low-key among many people.
"Wuhu Huaizhong, I order you to lead the cavalry to cruise outside the mulberry forest, and cooperate with Qibi He at any time!"
After the assignment, Qin Jin was about to get up and leave the table, Zheng Xianli saw that Qin Jin Dudu didn't mention himself, so he couldn't help but ask: "Chang Shijun, what are you going to do?"
Qin Jin patted his head when he heard this, "Brother Zheng has always been in charge of the defense of Shaanzhou City, and seeing that the sky is about to dawn, he must take strict precautions!"
Out of Shaanzhou City to the west of three miles is Taiyuan Cang, Taiyuan Cang's fire lit for a day and two nights, and you can still see sporadic fires. Although Qin Jin has not seen the grand occasion of the Taiyuan warehouse before, he can't help but secretly regret that the grain accumulated in the warehouse for decades of Kaiyuan Tianbao has turned into fly ash under a fire, this kind of loss is almost unbearable for the agricultural society, even if after the chaos, I want to reproduce the old view of Tianbao, but I don't know what year and month it will be.
Qin Jin shrugged his nose, and his nasal cavity was filled with a burning scorched breath. For days, there was a raging fire everywhere, and he was almost used to the smell.
Suddenly, a rider flew in.
"It's the rebels, Hu Gou shot the Tanma, I ran fast, and I came back by luck!"
Qin Jin rode on the war horse, and the whip was steep.
"Herald Qi Bihe and Wu Hu Huaizhong, the rebels show their heads, and they regret giving birth to their mothers!"
The herald soldier beside him suddenly agreed and took the order.
If Qin Jin wanted to move forward again, there were thousands of people to dissuade him, "Chang Shijun is in danger, don't take risks easily!" He glanced at the person in front of him who was dissuading, he didn't know him, and his accent was very different from that of Duji and Guannei.
"Go down, it's the soldiers of Shaanxi County to join the army, Jin Shixiong!"
What this person said is right, how can there be a state and county magistrate, who is surrounded by fierce generals like clouds, and is always in front of the enemy!
"That's right, let's go south and have a look there!"
Further south is the high saka with the mulberry forest on the south bank of the Yellow River, but from a distance, the mulberry forest on it is sparse.
The Sihu of the Shaanxi County hurriedly followed, and at the same time casually introduced the mountainous landform of the county.
"Ten miles further south here is the old pass of Hangu, but after many years of silting and landfilling, there is only one forest path left, and it is no longer dangerous!"
Of course, Qin Jin didn't go south to see the ruins of Hanguguan in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the black clouds of smoke and dust in the south became denser and denser, and he was worried that the fire would one day spread to Shaanzhou. Previously, many people who had experienced the Bears Ears Mountain fire mentioned more than once that in this kind of mountain fire, the fire is of course extremely fierce, but what is more deadly is the smoke produced after burning. Many mountain people, livestock, and animals did not die from the fire, but were killed by the thick smoke and dust in the morning.
Although there is a lot of open land near Shaanzhou, this large mulberry forest is surrounded by left and right, and in case a fire spreads, God knows how much smoke will be generated. At the same time, Qin Jin couldn't help but sigh at the dense vegetation cover in this era, if it was in the era when he grew up, this fire would not be able to burn even if he wanted to.
This Jin Shixiong looked like a capable official, and Qin Jin asked about his origin. In fact, from the surname "Jin", he already knew that this person could never be from a big family.
"Chief Shi Jun, go down to the people of Luzhou Mansion in Huainan Province...... "This Jin Shixiong is really a son of a poor family, and he also has a background in the Ming Classics, and he can join the army as the secretary of Xianzhou Wangjun, it seems that his career is smooth, if it is not for the chaos in the world, and a few years of seniority in the local area, maybe he can be transferred to Chang'an to serve at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
"Why didn't you retreat north with Doctor Gao?"
Jin Shixiong looked a little indignant, "It's not that the villain framed him, he was sent to an errand in the nearby township early that morning, who knew that when he returned to the city in the afternoon, everything, everything would have been changed beyond recognition!"
What he refers to beyond recognition should be the fact that Taiyuan Cang was burned, Du Qianyun intended to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and Shaanzhou City changed hands.
A group of hundreds of people climbed the mountain beam, but saw that the east was already white, but the sky was overcast, but the sun could not reveal a trace of it, and it was extremely depressing.
Qin Jin raised his eyes to look south, but vaguely saw thick smoke rolling, covering the dense mountain forest and the post road winding between it, if there was no heavy rain down, I really don't know when the fire will stop.
If it was a peaceful year, naturally the government organized Ding Zhuang to repair the fire barrier belt to prevent the fire from continuing to spread, but now that the war is in chaos, who still has the heart and energy to worry about such things. Besides, this fire may burn to death, and how many people in Cui Qianyou's department will be smoked to death!
Thinking of Cui Qianyou, Qin Jin's heart fluttered a few times, thinking of the cavalry coming from the direction of the peach forest, a strong premonition struck!
……
The sky is getting brighter, a cavalry on the south bank of the Yellow River rolls to the east, past the sparsely populated place, there are few artemisia grass on the bank of the river, this kind of place is suitable for war horses galloping. Since he had just shot and killed several Tang Army rangers, Cui Qianyou's spirit was highly stressed.
If you go further, I am afraid that there will be a Tang army, after all, Gao Xianzhi has more than 100,000 people, and he only has thousands of cavalry who are frightened and undecided. After walking for a while, the rangers scattered on the left and right actually caught a few mountain people who inevitably came out of the mulberry forest.
For this reason, Cui Qianyou stopped and asked in person. And the mountain people were already trembling with fright, pouring beans into the bamboo tube, and confessing everything they knew.
"What, burned the Taiyuan warehouse?"
From the mountain people's vague answers, Cui Qianyou keenly captured the most important words. After several confirmations, Cui Qianyou actually laughed, "It's really the road to the sky!" Then he couldn't suppress his excitement and shouted a few words: "Gao Xianzhi, Gao Xianzhi, if you know that Cui Mou is in the current situation at this time, I don't know if I regret hitting the wall and dying!"
Taiyuan Cang was burned, and even a fool could guess that Gao Xianzhi must have had the intention of abandoning Shaanxi County. Now that a few days have passed since the burning of Taiyuan Cang, the Tang army that wanted to come to Shaanxi County had already withdrawn to the north of the Yellow River. This also explains why the frozen ice of the Yellow River was chiseled open.
Cui Qianyou thought for a while, it must have been a few days ago that tens of thousands of Tang troops were annihilated overnight, forcing Gao Xianzhi to make up his mind to burn down the Taiyuan warehouse. Thinking of this, the sneer on the corner of his mouth was a little unwilling.
If it weren't for the little erector surnamed Qin to make trouble, Gao Xianzhi would be wise and decisive in such a decisive decision, otherwise he would have used his Mianchi garrison to attack him on both sides, and Shaanzhou would have no danger to defend and cut off the back road from Guanzhong, even if there were hundreds of thousands of rabble, how many days could he hold it?
It's a pity, it's destined that God won't give Gao Xianzhi a chance. Otherwise, as long as he burns Taiyuan Cang one day late, the situation may change!
"Kill them all!" Killing those few mountain people who had long been frightened was as easy as crushing a few bugs.
After laughing at Gao Xianzhi's bad luck, Cui Qianyou boldly sent a ranger to the east, and sure enough, he got the news that Taiyuan Cang had been reduced to ashes. Since then, his doubts have gone, and he led his troops to swagger straight to Shaanzhou City!
Now that Gao Xianzhi is gone, looking east of Tongguan and south of the Yellow River, who else can be his opponent Cui Qianyou?
This is not Cui Qianyou, since An Lushan raised his troops to the south, the troops he led were like a bamboo, invincible, and even the Anxi army guarding Luoyang was defeated by him repeatedly. Let me ask, after Gao Xianzhi retreats to the north of the Yellow River, who else can be used in the Tang Dynasty? Could it be that it is not possible to rely on that Ge Shuhan, who has already died at home?
Thousands of cavalry rode non-stop, galloping the battery to the east and then to the east. At this time, Cui Qianyou's heart was like an arrow, and it was difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.
People are always like this, if everything is going well, everything you get will always be taken for granted. But after being hit by setbacks, when he was on the verge of despair, he suddenly turned around, and his eyes suddenly opened up, how could he not celebrate with his forehead and be excited?
Even if a famous general and a minister are also human beings, there will be people's joys, sorrows, and sorrows! What's more, Cui Qianyou is not qualified to be a famous general and a minister!
Like rain arrows suddenly falling from the sky, when the sound of shouting and killing erupted in the sky above the mulberry forest, Cui Qianyou suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning.
He subconsciously thought of the plan, but suddenly he thought about it, even if Gao Xianzhi wanted to lure himself in and burn down the Taiyuan warehouse, the price would outweigh the loss......
When the war was in chaos, under the ups and downs of the mood, Cui Qianyou was messed up for the first time, and what he wanted was grotesque, but the matter has come to this point in addition to fighting to the death, is there a second choice?
As long as he ordered a retreat, these thousands of men and horses would be completely defeated in an instant. If you fight to the death, you may have a chance to win!
Cui Qianyou pulled out the steel knife at his waist and waved his arm.
"Sons, I will kill the thief!"
He was a fierce general in the army, and at the beginning of An Lushan's army, he was just a seven-rank town general, and he won battles along the way, and his kung fu for more than a month has soared to the general who led the army all the way. Now that I have to return to the battle array, I will regain my bravery and show my true colors!
