"Seize Tongguan, close the door and beat the dog!"

In just eight words, Li Heng was shocked beyond measure. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He barely believed his ears and thought he was hallucinating.

"Qin Qing said that he wants to recover Tongguan?"

Qin Jin looked directly at Li Heng, who was the Son of Heaven, with some presumptuousness, and nodded heavily.

"This is exactly the minister's plan!"

"But it's not easy for us to defend Chang'an, so why should we seize Tongguan? If we fight with the lives of thousands of soldiers, I, I, I'd rather let Tongguan be occupied by traitors for the time being!"

In Li Heng's view, Qin Jin's plan was simply whimsical and unreliable at all, and when the Tang army and the rebels fought head-on, they would definitely lose more and win less, and now they want to attack the fortifications, isn't it a fool's dream? Besides, even if they take Tongguan and have the conditions to close the gate and fight dogs, the 200,000 rebels in Guanzhong are like unscrupulous crabs, and they don't know who is a man and who is a dog!

Qin Jin laughed.

"Your Majesty is too worried, Qin Jin never uses brute force with soldiers, and it is not only a way to storm Tongguan, and there is no need to do it yourself to close the door and beat the dogs, and rush up with a stick. ”

This inexplicable statement made Li Heng even more confused.

"Please Qin Qing make it clear, I only feel that if you are not sure, it is better to be still than to be still!"

Qin Jin said slowly:

"Most of the main force of the minister's Shenwu army is in Hedong, as long as all the troops go south, internal and external attacks, it is not a problem to seize Tongguan, the difficulty is only in the surprise attack is unprepared, can not make Sun Xiaozhe have enough time to react. ”

Li Heng nodded, and also remembered that as Qin Jin said, the main force of the Shenwu Army was in Hedong, and there were less than 10,000 people guarding Chang'an, and most of them were private solidarity soldiers in the city.

"What's the use of shutting down the door and beating the dog?"

Qin Jin Dao:

"Cut off the back road, the strong wall clears the wilderness, and the 200,000 army has no grain and grass from Luoyang Hanjiacang, and most of them will die of freezing and starvation in less than a month!"

Although he didn't know anything about military affairs, Li Heng couldn't help but high-five after listening to his method of cutting off his grain and clearing the wilderness.

"Qin Qing's use of soldiers is comparable to Bai Qi and Han Xin!"

"The minister still has one more request, I hope Your Majesty can grant it!"

Thinking about the feasibility of Qin Jin's plan, Li Heng was in a good mood, swept away his previous depression, and said:

"But that's it!"

"The minister's hope, the political hall must not be hindered by the minister, if the minister really dies, if the minister fails to quell the mutiny of the united army in the south of the city, the consequences will be unimaginable. The minister's energy is not only to deal with the rebels outside the city, but also to always be vigilant against the calculations of his own people......" Speaking of this, Qin Jin's voice paused slightly, and then his voice was sharp and rapid and excited, "Although the minister has nothing to complain, but the army's heart is in chaos because of this, if you blindly tolerate it, it can only damage Your Majesty's majesty." ”

Qin Jin's words already carried an obvious reproach, and Li Heng actually lowered his head when he was said, and only said after a while:

"At this time, people's hearts are in turmoil, and it is not appropriate to kill important ministers. But I can assure you that nothing like this will ever happen from now on!"

"I hope Your Majesty will keep his word!"

Although Li Heng is gentle and kind, he is the Son of Heaven after all, and he is a little unable to get off the stage by Qin Jin's words. Fortunately, Qin Jin accepted it when he saw it, and his attitude softened.

"There was a lot of disrespect in the minister's words just now, but it is a matter of life and death for the country, so I have to say it clearly, otherwise wouldn't I be worthy of Your Majesty's trust?"

Li Heng smiled at this time:

"I know, Qin Qing is extremely business-minded, how can he be so detailed?"

In fact, Qin Jin still wanted to intercede for Guo Ziyi, but he restrained himself, Guo Ziyi is not an ordinary person, if he insists on protecting this person, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a suspicion of winning people's hearts and forming a gang. Therefore, even if he pleads, he should not do it. So, I endured the urge to intercede.

Previously, Qin Jin had learned that Fugu Huaien had come with King Qin, the army of Shuofang, and was defeated by Sun Xiaozhe in martial arts.

Fugu Huai'en and the Shuofang army under his command are not comparable to the ordinary Tang army, the elite level is on par with An Lushan's Youyan army, but it was defeated in the first battle without a trace, it can be seen that at least one-third of the 200,000 troops besieging the city are the elite men and horses of the pseudo-Yan. On the other hand, Qin Jin is also suspicious, even if Fugu Huai'en is defeated in martial arts, he will not be heard from again, right?

It was concluded that either Fugu Huaien deliberately concealed his whereabouts, or it was very likely that he would die in the chaos while martial arts. In fact, since Fugu Huaien led the army to King Qin, even if he was defeated in a battle and concealed his whereabouts, there was no need to hide his whereabouts from the court, so he preferred the latter.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to see Bai Xiaode!"

Bai Xiaode is the prince of Qiuzi, naturalized in the Tang Dynasty under the command of Fugu Huai'en as a general, this time King Qin entered and exited Chang'an, responsible for liaison.

In this regard, Li Heng naturally agreed. He is also a pity, if the Shuofang army is undefeated, it can be combined with the defenders of Chang'an. However, he saw that Qin Jin's expression seemed to have a hidden meaning, so he asked:

"Is there something wrong with Bai Xiaode?"

Qin Jin shook his head.

"There is nothing wrong with Bai Xiaode, the minister only thinks that General Fugu may be less auspicious!"

Li Heng was gloomy and lost his voice:

"General Fugu is loyal and brave, maybe ......"

Of course, he hoped that Fugu Huaien was not defeated and died, but from the news brought back by Bai Xiaode, he also smelled a trace of unusual smell.

"Bai Xiaode is still in the imperial city, Qin Qing can go tomorrow!"

Qin Jin immediately said:

"Without further ado, the minister will go to see Bai Xiaode tonight!"

Lee Hyung-do:

"It's okay, when I return to the palace, Qin Qing will accompany me, and I just want to meet this person!"

The two of them discussed the situation for a while, and seeing that it was almost time, Li Heng decided to go back to Taiji Palace.

Qin Jin took his entourage to follow the car of the Son of Heaven, all the way into the imperial city, and came to the place where Bai Xiaode temporarily settled to recuperate, and the person in charge of taking care of Bai Xiaode's daily life planned to wake up Bai Xiaode who was asleep, but found that Bai Xiaode couldn't wake up no matter what, and when he looked at his nose again, he was already out of breath, and even his body was cold.

"No, it's not good, General Bai is dead, General Bai is dead!"

When the servant's panicked voice exploded in the silent night, Qin Jin's heart suddenly sank, didn't he say that Bai Xiaode no longer had to worry about his life?

At this time, Li Heng was also on the spot, and when he heard that Bai Xiaode was actually dead, his face was extremely ugly.

Li Hengjunchen stood in front of Bai Xiaode's couch, and then in the dim candlelight, he could vaguely see that the people on the couch had round eyes, dark faces, and distorted expressions, and they were actually dead. ，

"Saint, the dead are ominous, the saint should not stay here for a long time, it is better to return to the palace!"

It was Li Fuguo who spoke, and he persuaded Li Heng to return to the palace, and the rest of the aftermath was handed over to his subordinates.

Li Heng thought about it, and returned to Taiji Palace with a stomach full of doubts.

After the Son of Heaven left, only Li Mi and Qin Jin were left in the house. Qin Jin circled around Bai Xiaode's couch before he said slowly:

"General Bai was suffocated to death!"

Although he knew that Chen Xilie and Li Mi planned to replace Guo Ziyi with Fugu Huaien, and Bai Xiaode played the role of a messenger, but after all, this person came to kill thieves for the country, and he went in and out twice in the siege of Chang'an, and he did not die in the hands of the rebels, but died in the hands of his own people, which is really embarrassing.

Li Mi didn't say a word, and also circled Bai Xiaode for half a circle, and then stretched out his right hand to caress his cold face, trying to make him close his eyes, but he stroked it twice in a row to no avail, and his distorted face was still staring round, and his eyes were empty, as if he was making a silent accusation.

Seeing this, Li Mi couldn't help but tremble, and couldn't help but take two steps back.

At this moment, Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan rushed over in a panic. The important people in the imperial city actually died for no apparent reason, and he, the big Yin, naturally had the responsibility to shirk it.

Ignoring the sweaty steamed buns, he ran to Bai Xiaode's already cold corpse, Cui Guangyuan sighed again and again.

"Why are you dead, how are you dead!"

Today's son Li Heng was not very satisfied with Cui Guangyuan, if it wasn't for his previous efforts to maintain law and order in Chang'an, I am afraid he would not have stayed in Jing Zhaoyin's position for too long. Moreover, because they followed Qin Jin's footsteps, Li Mi and Chen Xilie have always regarded it as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

The news of Chen Xilie's attempted suicide in the daytime was enough to make people panic, and now that Bai Xiaode had died in the imperial city in an unknown manner, Li Mi had always been eager to take revenge, so how could he let go of this great opportunity to attack him? Therefore, more than half of his sweaty head was in a hurry because of this.

"Cui Dayin, General Bai's death is unknown, you have to find out the cause of death as soon as possible, don't make it difficult for him to look at Jiuquan!"

"This nature, this nature!"

Li Mi and him are on par in rank, but Li Mi is a confidant of the Son of Heaven, so Cui Guangyuan has always treated him with the courtesy of an official.

Cui Guangyuan is not the kind of person with a hard neck, he will never hesitate when he should bow his head, but he has already scolded those people in his heart.

Li Mi glanced at Qin Jin again and said:

"I have full authority to appoint Cui Dayin to investigate this matter thoroughly, so you and I don't have to meddle in it!"

This made Qin Jin take a small snack, according to his previous habits, Li Yu would definitely not let go of such an opportunity, and he would definitely insert a hand in it to strike at Cui Guangyuan, who was the wing of the Shenwu Army. But now that his attitude is the opposite, not only did he not intervene, but he left Cui Guangyuan alone and let him investigate thoroughly.

However, this attitude made Qin Jin breathe a sigh of relief, and it also proved from the side that Li Mi had nothing to do with Bai Xiaode's death. In this way, the people related to Bai Xiaode's death are about to come out.

Qin Jin has long been extremely disgusted with these infighting, and now out of consideration for the overall situation, he has not torn his face with those ghosts, as long as the crisis in Chang'an is solved, no matter who dares to kick his nose in the face, he will never show mercy to his subordinates, and he will definitely kill the killer.

"So there is Lao Cui Dayin!"

Qin Jin also expressed his position. This made Cui Guangyuan's tightly hanging heart also relaxed, Li Yu said that he had nothing to do with him, he didn't interfere in it, and Qin Jin has always supported him, so he will be comfortable in this matter, but he must find out thoroughly, who killed Bai Xiaode!
