Chapter 377: When the Waves Rise Again
Under the auspices of Zheng Xianli, the ordnance supervisor has produced hundreds of thousands or even millions of arrows in the past six months, of which tens of thousands of Shenjian crossbows have been made, but none of these sharp weapons have been allocated to the Shenwu Army since Yang Guozhong took power. In other words, Yang Xing's own injuries can only be caused by himself.
But what is the reason why the ** crossbowman dares to shoot the cousin that Yang Guozhong relies on very much?
Could it be that Yang Guozhong rebelled? The imperial court killed the Yang family?
Qin Jin glanced at Pei Jing, and Pei Jing's eyes also flashed with an uncertain light, obviously thinking of one thing with him.
"Wake up, wake up, General Pei is coming, General Yang is awake. ”
Suddenly, Lang Zhong's excited voice came from the post house, and Qin Jin strode into the post house without delay.
Yang Xingben woke up, but his face was still bloodless and extremely weak.
"If you have something to say, ask quickly, General Yang's energy is almost exhausted, and he needs to recuperate. ”
Qin Jin nodded, came to Yang Xingben's couch, and called softly.
"Yang Er, I'm Qin Jin, who caused you to do this?"
Pei Jing also followed behind Qin Jin, urging him: "Tell me quickly, which ......?"
Yang Xingben's closed eyes opened with difficulty, and his wandering eyes focused on Qin Jin's face for a long time, after confirming that the person in front of him was Qin Jin, he suddenly became emotional, just muttering in his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Qin Jin hurriedly comforted Yang Xingben and calmed down his emotions, and finally Yang Xingben laboriously spit out three words, although his voice was still weak, but everyone present was shocked.
"High ...... Immortal...... Shiba!"
"How could it be him?"
Qin Jin gasped again, did he really let himself guess that Yang Guozhong was really going to be expelled by the imperial court?
However, Qin Jin wanted to ask again, but Yang Xingben fell asleep again, and let Qin Jin shake but not wake up.
On the shocked side, Lang Zhong hurriedly reminded: "Make Jun light, make Jun light, General Yang is seriously injured and weak, and he can't withstand vigorous shaking......"
Qin Jin reacted at this time, took a step back, and almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Pei Jing's hands were quick and he held him up, so he didn't lose his temper in public.
"Pei Jing, quickly transfer a thousand people and horses to protect the post house layer by layer. Yang Xingben's news here must be kept extremely confidential, except for you and me and the existing insiders, no more information is allowed to be confided!"
In the blink of an eye, Qin Jin gave a series of orders with fierce words, as if even his tone was tense and frozen.
Pei Jing arranged Qin Jin's orders one by one, and then said worriedly:
"Envoy, isn't it Gao Xianzhi Qingjun's side and counterattacked Chang'an?"
To be honest, Pei Jing didn't believe that the Son of Heaven would take the initiative to get rid of Yang Guozhong, but it was Gao Xianzhi who took the initiative to get rid of Yang Guozhong, and it was very likely that he would get rid of Yang Guozhong.
At this time, Qin Jin was also confused, and he also made such a guess, but with Gao Xianzhi's personality, it was too surprising to say that he was doing something on the Qingjun side. After thinking about it for a while, he always felt that something was wrong, there must be something in it that he didn't know.
But what exactly is going on, we can only wait for Yang Xingben to wake up.
"That's not right, if there is a change in Gao Xianzhi's place, Qi Bihe will definitely send someone to deliver the news, why don't we know anything here?"
Pei Jing suddenly made an even more puzzling point.
"Qi Bihe may not know, I heard that he is still in Shangyang Pass, far away from Gao Xianzhi's side, and it is very likely that he will not react......"
The two of them speculated for a while, but finally did not come to a reasonable conclusion, so they simply gave up their conjectures and waited for Yang Xingben to wake up, and then revealed the answer to the riddle.
The military affairs of the Shenwu Army are inseparable from Pei Jing, and he can only retire first. Qin Jin had nothing to do in the army, so he stayed and waited for Yang Xingben to wake up.
This was a day and a night, during which Huang Fu Ke and Lu Qi sent back military letters one after another, and Huang Fu Ke really entered the city of Anyi as expected, but there was also an accident, he found a large number of Yan troops in Xia County, fifty miles east of Anyi. The news sent back by Lu Qi was even more nervous, and tens of thousands of Yan troops gathered in Wenxi and Jiangxian in Jiangzhou. He did not dare to attack rashly, so he could only hold on to his orders.
Qin Jin immediately returned to the county court and recruited Pei Jing and Chen Qianli, and now they are the only ones who can be discussed in the city.
"At this time, it is better to be still, the rebels are eyeing each other, and if our army is tired of fighting on two fronts, I am afraid that it will fall into an unfavorable situation. ”
After a brief analysis for a while, Chen Qianli bluntly suggested to Qin Jin that since this was the case, it was better to brake quietly, and he must not rashly launch an attack and fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. Unlike Chen Qianli's extreme conservatism, Pei Jing thought that he could fight.
"The Shenwu Army can't fight on two fronts, and it may be possible to specialize in one line. ”
Qin Jin was also inclined to Chen Qianli's suggestion to specialize in all the way, so he asked him to explain it in detail.
"Huangfu Ke only needs to contain the rebels in Xia County in Anyi, and the Shenwu Army will quickly move north to defeat the rebels entrenched between Wenxi and Jiangxian!"
After the current Shenwu Army has been integrated and expanded, the number of men and horses has exceeded 30,000, although the combat effectiveness of the front and rear armies is not equal, but it finally has the capital to fight.
Chen Qianli's eyes were also shining, he had already wanted to train the rear army with war, but now Pei Jing's suggestion was secretly in line with his thoughts.
"Okay, send an order to Lu Qi, monitor the rebels on the spot, you can send people to test the truth, and then look for fighters ......"
At the same time that Lu Qi was asked to test the Yan army between Wenxi and Jiangxian, Qin Jin also ordered Pei Jing to pick up eighty percent of the men and horses of the rear army, ready to rush to Jiangzhou at any time.
The next day, when the lantern was in hand, Lu Qi's military letter was finally sent back, and the rebels entrenched in Wenxijiang County were not Shi Siming's elite lineage, and their combat effectiveness was naturally not the same. This increased the confidence of Qin and Jin in the first battle, and immediately ordered Pei Jing to lead his division to the north.
This time, Qin Jin still gave Pei Jing enough trust. Now Pei Jing has matured rapidly after two blows.
After the simple and solemn oath meeting, even the last group of Shenwu Army rear troops who went to Jiangzhou also left Hedong City. Qin Jin looked out from afar at the head of the city, waiting for news of the battle situation in the rear, this feeling was really unbearable, far less than the pleasure of fighting to the death on the front line.
A gust of wind blew from the southwest, and it was already slightly cool. Qin Jin suddenly realized that autumn was coming.
"Envoy, envoy, General Yang is awake, awake ......"
Lang Zhong's ecstatic voice rang out unscrupulously on the city wall. Qin Jin turned his head and saw Lang Zhong running over with a roar, and only glared at him fiercely. Lang Zhong also realized his gaffe, and hurriedly lowered his head weakly.
"When did you wake up, but it's all right?"
"Returning to the envoy's words, I just woke up, but I was eating, and I thought that General Yang's health had improved. ”
"Good!
After that, Qin Jin rushed to the post house impatiently.
Due to the sudden tense situation in Hedong, Qin Jin ignored the Yang Xingben incident for a short time. Moreover, the people sent to Chang'an also brought back the news that Yang Guozhong was safe and sound in Chang'an. It's just that there is still no news from Tongguan, and it seems that the new channels of water and land have been artificially cut off.
This is also what makes Qin Jin the most confused, fortunately, it is not the chaos in Chang'an, this is not to the point of cannibalism, now that Yang Xingben has woken up, all the mysteries are about to be revealed.
When Qin Jin arrived at the post house, Yang Xingben drank porridge and fell asleep, so he had to ask Lang Zhong to come forward and wake him up.
"Yang Er, who shot you?"
Although Yang Xingben was still very weak, his spirit was very different from a few days ago, and he sighed.
"It's hard to put into words, the last general was affected by Yang Guozhong!"
"Yang Guozhong's involvement?"
Qin Jin still chuckled in his heart, could it be that the conflict between Yang Guozhong and Gao Xianzhi had reached such a point?
"The envoy is a puppet Yan court sent someone to the court to ask for peace?"
"Please and?"
Yang Xingben's question was far beyond Qin Jin's expectations, what is peace with An Lushan? Could it be that An Lushan didn't want to destroy the Tang Dynasty? Then the development of the situation was completely different from the historical process that he was familiar with.
"It is said that it is to invite peace, but in fact, it is just to delay time, and the last general thinks that it must be a trick concocted by Sun Xiaozhe. However, Yang Guozhong thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and on the one hand, he persuaded the Son of Heaven to agree, and on the other hand, he sent the last general and others to Sun Xiaozhe's army to negotiate the specific rules. ”
"I see!"
The answer is like this, Qin Jin would never have imagined that in just a few days, there would be a big change in the court. However, what is the direct connection between this and Gao Xianzhi's shooting of Yang Xingben?
Qin Jin only looked at him, waiting for him to tell the connection.
Yang Xingben gasped weakly for a while, then sighed lightly again and said:
"The last general will never agree to negotiate peace with the rebels, so that the morale of the people accumulated in the first battle of Shangyangguan will be released in one go. But Yang Guozhong insisted on going his own way and wanted to send the last general to see Sun Xiaozhe, the last general was helpless, and thought that he could take the opportunity to go to the rebels to find out the truth, so he set off for ......"
Speaking of this, Yang Xingben didn't catch his breath, coughed violently, and it took a long time to regain his composure, and he said again:
"I don't want to just arrive at Sun Xiaozhe's camp, and news came from Tongguan, Gao Xianzhi caught Gao Zaicheng, the puppet imperial doctor sent to Chang'an by Pseudo-Yan, and his party, and couldn't help but say that everyone was beheaded and hung at the head of Tongguan City to show the public, in order to show the will to fight to the death. Many people in the rebels wanted to kill the last general and others to take revenge, but Sun Xiaozhe saw that he could not continue the conversation, but ordered someone to escort the last general and others out of the rebel camp. When he went, the last general and others disguised themselves as merchants and sneaked out of the south of Shangyang Pass, and when they went back, they went straight to Tongguan.
