Chapter 63: A dilemma

In Shaanzhou City, the ice surface of the Yellow River has been re-frozen, the fire of Kuoshan Mountain has stopped in Taolin Gaosaka, and because of the northwest wind blowing in winter, the billowing smoke and dust have been blown to the Qinling Mountains in the southeast.

Qin Jin rubbed his nose and sneezed fiercely, the faint scorching smell in the air made him very uncomfortable, and the nasal cavity was dry and itchy since early in the morning, and after a few big sneezes, the snot was like a water pipe that opened the floodgates, and it flowed endlessly.

Seeing Qin Changshi like this, a cadre in the army, such as Zheng Xianli, Qi Bihe and others were highly nervous, there was a shortage of medical treatment and medicine in these war years, and they had to face a tense situation, in case they contracted the wind and cold, it was not a joke, and it was common to lose their lives even if they didn't get it right.

"Chang Shijun go back to the house quickly, all the affairs on the city wall will be handed over to us, you just need to take care of your body." ”

"It's okay, it's just a small problem, what's all the fuss?"

With experience, Qin Jin had already judged that the body he had crossed over was actually guilty of allergic rhinitis.

However, how could these people believe that Qin Jin was just a small problem, and dragged him back to the warm room one by one, and strictly instructed the guards in charge of guarding not to allow Qin Changshi to take another step out of the house.

And where is Qin Jin in the mood to recuperate, now there are tens of thousands of people in his old department counting Du Qianyun, and the food consumed in a day is thousands of catties, and the food he carries has been exhausted, and the food found sporadically around Shaanxi County is only enough to support ten days' work, which is equivalent to putting a rope around his neck. If you don't plan early, the snares of the rope tighten a little with each passing day......

Thinking of the Taiyuan warehouse outside the west of Shaanzhou, Qin Jin couldn't help but feel a pity, if he had come half a day earlier, the inexhaustible grain in the Taiyuan warehouse would not have been burned. But how can everything be as good as it should be?

Thinking of this, Qin Jin sighed.

"A fire burned out the rebels, why did Chang Shijun sigh?"

saw Zheng Xianli and Qi He coming together. Qin Jin also had something important to discuss with them, "It's just right to come, come and sit down and roast the fire." So saying, he led them to the copper stove in the middle of the room.

Qi Bihe took off the animal skin on his body, and rubbed his hands vigorously in front of the copper furnace, "The thief can freeze the iron lump in half, why don't you freeze a few more thieves to death, and it also saves us from supplying food." ”

"Something that worries is in the word food. ”

Zheng Xianli sat down next to Qibi He, and echoed with a worried face: "Chang Shijun, I went down and came here with Captain Qibi, also for the word food! At present, the food in the army can not last for seven days. ”

Qin Jin nodded, "The two brothers have said, where should we go next?"

Qi Bihe said loudly at the top of his voice: "What else can I do, while there is still food in my hand, I should take our Xin'an old unity soldiers to evacuate this place where birds don't as soon as possible." ”

In fact, Qi Bihe is right, the reason why Shaanzhou City is important is because there is Taiyuan Cang that can be compared with Luoyang Hanjiacang, but unfortunately Taiyuan Cang has been burned down when Gao Xianzhi withdrew his troops, leaving only a piece of ruins that were burned to charcoal ash in Shaanzhou. In other words, with the loss of Taiyuan Cang, the status of Shaanzhou City has become obscured from the cities, and Shaanxi County has no danger to defend, and it has become a tasteless food and a pity to abandon it.

Qi Bihe's attitude was very clear, that is, to "withdraw troops", get rid of the burdens of Du Qianyun's old department, and then abandon Shaanzhou.

"This move is very inappropriate, Du Qianyun's old department has five or six thousand people, let's give up, wouldn't it be pushed to the rebels?"

"Then it's all ......" Qi Biga's thick eyebrows raised fiercely, and he made a slashing motion with his hand as a knife.

In this regard, Qin Jin did not hesitate to give and refuse, he was never afraid of killing, but killing people is worth killing, if it is just to save a few mouthfuls of food, and kill five or six thousand living human lives, what is the difference between this kind of behavior and the murderous demon?

A servant brought hot tea soup, Zheng Xianli picked up a bowl, drank it with a bang, and the chill in his body was immediately dispelled, and then said:

"Chang Shi Jun Mo has the idea of taking it for his own use, they have long become lazy and slippery soldiers, and after collecting these rat droppings, the whole pot of porridge has been ruined. ”

Qin Jin was a pity for a while, and then a little irritable, this is not good, that is not good, what should I do? He subconsciously picked up a bowl of tea, raised it to his mouth, and just opened his mouth, his nose was itched by the rich peppery smell in the steaming heat.

He was used to drinking clear tea, and it was really unbearable for the tea of the Tang Dynasty that was boiled with enough condiments and boiled like soup porridge, so he put it back again. At the same time, he secretly sighed, it is not easy to be the leader, everything must be on his shoulders, and he can't afford to miss half a point, after all, tens of thousands of lives are decided by his words.

"You can't kill people, and you can't give up these people, do the two brothers still have a high opinion?"

Qi Bihe kicked his legs, spread his hands, glared and said, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, I can't help it." ”

Zheng Xianli pondered for a long time before he hesitated a little and said: "Then there is only one compromise, it is better to cross the river as soon as possible, go to the east of the river, and find Doctor Gao, he will definitely have enough grain and grass there." ”

For this proposal, Qi Bihe felt that it was also decent, so he also echoed it.

"I look at it, Shaofu Jun should make a decision quickly, one more day, one less day of food. ”

There was no problem in crossing the river, the dug Yellow River had been re-frozen, and the fugitives who had been trapped on the south bank had already fled to the east of the river on the re-frozen surface of the Yellow River. But the problem now is that Qin Jin is not like taking refuge in Gao Xianzhi.

Qin Jin knew that in this era, the most taboo in the army was to give orders, if he was in Gao Xianzhi's army, would he be able to obey all the dispatches? Since I can't, I will never think about it again, and instead of twisting together, it is better to echo it from afar.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Jin suddenly made up his mind, since it was impossible to hold on to Shaanzhou, it was better to leave late than early, and if he couldn't go to Hedong, it was better to simply go to Tongguan. After entering Tongguan, more than 10,000 people under his command did not have to worry about food and clothing, and there was a prisoner in his hand, that is, Cui Qianyou, the chief general of the rebel army. This person was captured alive, it was indeed greater than Qin Jin expected, not to give much credit, to exchange this person for some food to the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, to feed the soldiers for hunger, it should be more than enough.

Hearing Qin Jin's thoughts, Qi Bihe slapped his thigh, "Chang Shijun also underestimates our Tang Emperor, how can he be so stingy?"
