Chapter 52: The willows are in the shade

After Qin Jin entered Shaanzhou City, another imminent problem arose.

"Chang Shijun, it has been verified that the grain in Shaanzhou is less than one month. ”

Zheng Xianli was worried, originally Shaanzhou was next to Taiyuan Warehouse, and there was an inexhaustible supply of grain available. However, after Gao Xianzhi evacuated Shaanzhou, he burned all the materials that could not be taken away, including very few materials left inside and outside the city.

"Alas, Doctor Gao's plan was to deal with Cui Qianyou, but it turned out to be us!" Qin Jin kept silent, and Zheng Xianli sighed again.

"This month's period can include Du Qianyun's old department and more than 10,000 fugitives outside the city?" Qin Jin suddenly asked, Zheng Xianli replied with an angry face: "Naturally not among them, these people are at both ends of the rat head, if we don't stop them, they have already joined the rebels, what do they do?"

More than 10,000 people have not eaten or drunk, and they are trapped on the banks of the Yellow River. Once it starts, it will bring endless trouble. It's not that Qin Jin's sympathy is overflowing, it's really for the sake of stabilizing the situation, and he can't ignore these people.

"If the grain is divided and used, how many days can it last?" Seeing that Qin Jin insisted on it, Zheng Xianli replied with a gloomy face: "Ten days at most." "The question is answered, and it is obvious that there is a plan in the chest.

"Okay, in ten days, send these people to Hedong in batches and hand them over to Cheng Qianli for disposal!"

There is no way to do this, and now the situation south of the Yellow River and east of Tongguan has become eroded, and the only place that can accommodate so many people is Hedongdao. Cheng Qianli was born in the Anxi Army, served as Gao Xianzhi's boss, and later also served as Gao Xianzhi's subordinate, and was appointed by Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, as the deputy history of Hedong Jiedu and the head of Shangdang County a month ago.

More than 10,000 people were sent over, which happened to be ready-made soldiers, and it was the right time for Cheng Qianli.

Only one day later, the person sent to contact Gao Xianzhi hurriedly returned to Shaanzhou City, and brought back a handwritten letter from Gao Xianzhi.

Qin Jin couldn't help but feel excited, in addition to his admiration for the famous historical generals, he also had a faint hope in his heart, hoping that Gao Xianzhi could turn the tide.

However, after reading the handbook, Qin Jin was stunned for a long time, and he didn't know whether he was sad or happy in his heart.

Zheng Xianli, who was on the side, was very anxious, and seeing that Qin Jin had not reacted for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Chang Shijun, Chang Shijun?

"Brother Zheng can see it at a glance!"

After receiving the letter, Zheng Xianli impatiently glanced at it, comparing Qin Jin's mixed blessings, he high-fived him.

"Great, Dr. Feng led his division north, and Shi Siming's dog thief looks good!"

To Qin Jin's relief, the development of the situation was finally different from the direction he was familiar with, Gao Xianzhi dared to divide his troops and ordered Feng Changqing, who was in white clothes to be convicted, to lead his troops out of Hedong to Hebei Province, and it was conceivable how much risk he had.

"Cheng Qianli is a mediocre talent, and he is afraid that the party will not be enough to defend the east of the river, let alone send troops to Hebei Province as Olympic aid? ”

After all, Gao Xianzhi's subordinates are all treacherous market peddlers, and they are not the same as the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty decades ago and the elite of the border army today. Qin Jin didn't want to pour cold water on Zheng Xianli, but he also wanted to explain that the current situation was by no means all right if Feng Changqing sent troops to Hebei.

There are still countless hidden concerns behind this. Gao Xianzhi burned down the Taiyuan warehouse without authorization, which is one of them. Feng Changqing, who was dressed in white without the holy order, attacked the troops, and this was the second. The Son of Heaven's edict that has been issued, but was lost halfway, is the third.

All of the above is seriously equivalent to time bombs in Qin and Jin, and they may explode at any time. If the war develops on the favorable side, it is easy to say that the two of them will make great contributions, and vice versa......

Despite Qin Jin's hints, Zheng Xianli is still optimistic about the future.

"Even if the troops led by Doctor Feng are unbearable, as long as the Shuofang army can send troops to Hebei Province in time, why worry about the traitors?"

This is not that Qin Jin only knows that he is blindly pessimistic, it is understandable to think about defeat before he thinks about winning everything, and when he knows where the hidden worries are, he must respond in advance one by one to avoid tragedy.

Just as Qin Jin was groaning, a soldier suddenly roared over.

"Good news! Good news! Long Shijun, Captain Qibi beheaded thousands and returned triumphantly!"

The sudden good news made Qin Jin forget his worries for the time being, and hurriedly got up and went out, Zheng Xianli was also very surprised, he didn't expect that Du Qianyun's strategy really worked, and the rebel generals who colluded with Kip Shi were really stupid as pigs and dogs.

When the head of the rebel Cai Chengen was thrown in front of everyone, Du Qianyun, who was invited to watch the excitement together, almost fainted. When An Lushan did not rebel, Du Qianyun had contacts with this person, and even corresponded several times to discuss how to work for the effect, and the bloodstained and hideous head made it difficult for him to think of the seven-foot strong man who was alive and well.

However, Qi Bihe stepped forward and smashed his fist on Du Qianyun's shoulder, "It's all thanks to the general that he can have such a success! General Du sold people, and he really deserves his reputation!"

The first half of the sentence was a compliment, but the second half of the sentence turned into sarcasm, Du Qianyun's hands that had been arched stiffened slightly embarrassed, and he laughed twice as if he was self-deprecating.

"General Qibi is laughing, laughing! Du Mou's heart is the court, don't say that such a traitor has an old relationship with a certain person, even if he is his own father and son, as long as he dares to betray the court, he can't tolerate it!"

Qi Bihe teased again: "General Du is righteous, he has no father and no son, and he admires it tightly!"

"Where, where!"

Du Qianyun's face had turned purple at this time. Qin Jin hurriedly coughed and asked about this battle, the geometry of the beheading, and what the details of the battle were.

Qi He laughed, and praised Wu Hu Huaizhong, who had been behind, with his fists clasped and praised: "The Wu Hu brothers' troops are really powerful, if it weren't for hundreds of cavalry to intercept the rebels' way back, this battle may not be able to behead so many." ”

Qin Jin was afraid that Qi Bihe would be prejudiced against Wu Hu Huaizhong, who was born in the same Luo department, but now it seems that this is a redundant move.

Du Qianyun, who had been squeezed all the time, suddenly asked: "Why doesn't General Qibi capture Kipshi County in one go?"

After hearing this, Qi He glared at him, and then said seriously: "It is not difficult to attack the city, but it may not be able to defend it, since it can't be defended, why bother doing it?"

Qin Jin nodded secretly, Qi Bihe was right, Kip Stone was close to Mianchi, right under the noses of most of the rebels, and now the Tang Army was unprepared to attack it by surprise, if it opened the formation, it would be extremely stupid.

But I saw a blood-stained head under the city wall, and the rough inspection point was also around three or five thousand. Qin Jin took the generals to inspect it, and the generals of Du Qianyun's old department couldn't help but be shocked, they couldn't imagine that this Qin Changshi, who seemed to be polite and polite, could fight so daringly. At the same time, they were all glad that they were not enemies of Qin Changshi, otherwise those heads under the city wall might have them on the list.

After noon, Qin Jin made new arrangements and decisions, and sent people to Chang'an to report to the Son of Heaven!

Gao Xianzhi once replied to Qin Jin in a handwritten letter that since the Taiyuan warehouse had been burned, there was no need for Shaanzhou to hold it. As for Cui Qianyou's department, how can a mountain fire trap him?

It was this reply that made Qin Jin speechless, he didn't know if this was Gao Xianzhi's true opinion, but Fang Luo was politely rejected, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. Could it be that 20,000 or 30,000 people can escape the raging flames and billowing smoke of the wildfires and get out calmly?

Soon, the rangers sent out to investigate the situation of the wildfires rushed back to Shaanzhou one after another.

The scale of the mountain fire far exceeded the imagination of Qin Jin and the people in Shaanzhou City. After two days of burning and spreading, the wildfire not only showed no signs of getting smaller, but had a tendency to intensify.

The fire spread from the Da Xian Mountain in the branch of the Kushan Mountains to the north and spread through the post road from Hongnong to Shaanzhou, and burned straight to the Taolin, which was further north of the Yellow River. In addition to the fire, the large amount of smoke that filled the fire was terrifying. Several of the rangers were almost trapped in the smoke and nearly died, but fortunately they did not go deep into the fire and escaped.

The fire and smoke were almost an impermeable natural barrier, and the hundreds of rangers sent out to explore the road were not allowed to enter without exception.

Qin Jin ordered someone to take the map from Shaanxi County to Tongguan, and after studying the lines with different shades for a while, he suddenly felt that the location of the peach forest was a little familiar, and stretched out his hand to point at the location of the peach forest for a long time, and he remembered it steeply.

"Isn't Hangu Guguan in the south of Taolin?"

Qin Jin shook his head, if this fire was in the era when he grew up, he didn't know how much damage it would cause to the ecological environment. Countless animals and plants have been burned to death in the mountain, and the decades or even centuries-old trees on the mountain have all been destroyed in the fire, and it is unknown how long it will take to repeat the old view.

"This time it's just right, Cui Qianyou doesn't want to fly out even if he inserts his wings!" Zheng Xianli cursed Cui Qianyou for a while, and congratulated Qin Jin again, "Chang Shijun has made new contributions this time, I don't know how the Son of Heaven should reward him!"

Qin Jin sighed, but he didn't know that he had already put the planning of this burning of Da Xian Mountain on Gao Xianzhi's head in his text to the Son of Heaven. I hope that with this great achievement, the old and faint Son of Heaven can still be a little jealous, and stop unscrupulously swinging the life-killing knife to the necks of the few famous generals in the Tang Dynasty.
