A defensive battle turned into a war of annihilation, Fang Xuan had long been impressed by Qin Jin, at this time he had already regretted not being at the beginning, and in the dead of night, he always asked himself, if Qin Jin was allowed to lead the troops, would he have recovered the eastern capital Luoyang now? Maybe now he will wave his army north to smash the rebels' lair Fan Yang, and it is unknown!

After a series of events, Fang Xuan completely reversed his previous prejudice against Qin Jin, he only hated that he couldn't make peace with Qin Jin when he was in Chang'an, if he could do so, maybe it would be another good story and it would be passed on to future generations!

But the reality is cruel, the current Fang Xuan lost the 100,000 army handed over to him by the imperial court, and he has long been guilty of sin, and after returning to Chang'an, he is waiting for the anger and severe punishment of his soldier Tianzi.

"Is it true that the old minister will go to Luoyang with Qin?"

Qin Jin's voice sounded in his ears again, and he shook his head, and there was a slight tiredness in his eyes, reflecting the wrinkles on his forehead, and his gray hair actually looked more than ten years old.

"The old man went out of the customs this time, and he experienced a smooth journey in Henan, and also experienced the painful lesson of breaking the halberd and sinking into the sand. What kind of face does the old man have to follow the doctor to Luoyang to take credit? It is better to stay here, guard the private sector, and do some practical things. When the doctor recovers the people of the Eastern Capital, it will be the time for the old man to return to Chang'an to ask for his guilt!"

As he spoke, Qin Jinneng found that Fang Xuan's eyes were red, if it weren't for his efforts to control his emotions, he was afraid that the tears in his eyes would have rolled down like beads with broken threads.

Seeing Fang Xuan like this, Qin Jin also sighed in his heart, when he was in Chang'an, he was such a strong and tough prime minister, and after suffering blows one after another, he also became disheartened.

"Don't say that, Qin Jin won this attack, if there is no foreshadowing by the old minister, he may not be able to succeed. But the world is so cruel, the world only remembers the glory but forgets the difficulties before the glory!"

"Doctor Qin......"

Although what Qin Jin said was not true, it fell on Fang Xuan's ears, as if he had met a confidant. Finally, the old tears that had been rolling in his eyes for a long time rolled down.

Qin Jin didn't want Fang Xuan to stay, in fact, he had other plans, it was not easy to change a person's mind, and it was even more difficult to change the inherent views of the important ministers of the court and even the head of the prime minister. Now, this rare person has thrown away many prejudices, and his opinion of Shenwu Jun and him Qin has changed greatly, and he will be narrow-minded and stingy if he falls into the well.

If Fang Xuan's mistakes can be reversed to some extent, and he is not completely expelled from the power core of the Tang Dynasty, it may not be a win-win good thing for Shenwu Jun himself.

You must know that although the Shenwu Army can win battles repeatedly, the foundation in the court is shallow after all, most of the ministers have their own opinions, and even fewer people are willing to stand on the side of the Shenwu Army.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty not only valued ability, but also looked more at the background, with Qin Jin's background and experience, he was a typical fortunate person, that is, after the Chang'an Guard War, he had the capital to gain a foothold in the imperial court, but if he wanted to have a comprehensive impact on the imperial court, it was still far away. After all, the imperial authority of the Tang Dynasty is still there, and the Shenwu Army cannot move against the trend.

These are the thoughts of Qin Jin who are not outsiders in his heart, he comes from that era when everything advocates freedom, of course there will be no pedantic ideas of loyalty to the monarch and the country in his mind, as long as the time and place are favorable, even if he stands on behalf of Li Tang and stands on his own, he will gladly accept it.

However, Qin Jin will not be stupid enough to go against the trend and be the target of the world, and be pointed at by thousands of people. At best, doing your best to protect your own interests is the key to survival.

Early this morning, I got the news that the Hui Department had defeated Yin Ziqi's rebels, beheaded 3,000, and captured Yin Ziqi's banner. With this battle, it officially sounded the death knell for those rebels under siege. Qin Jin also began to prepare to leave Xin'an and continue to advance eastward.

The disheartened Fang Xuan was reluctant to go to Luoyang with him, but it was just a small episode, and it took Qin Jin nearly an hour to persuade this seemingly stubborn old guy.

The Chinese army of Qin and Jin was mainly led by Qin Yan, and Tian Chengsi, as a deputy general, also became a model for the latter among the generals. When the Shenwu Army was in Chang'an, many soldiers were recruited, and these people didn't have much sense of belonging to the Shenwu Army at first, but since the status of people like Xiang Tian Chengsi soared, they all threw away the mustard in their hearts, and felt that they had a head and hope.

After a day of rapid marching, Qin Jin caught up with Yang Xingben, originally he thought that the battle would be more tragic before the battle, but everywhere he went, the army column stretched for several miles, and it looked more relaxed than the usual exercises, and many soldiers were frequently laughing, if it weren't for the faint sound of drums in the distance, it would be really difficult to realize that this was on the battlefield.

"The doctor is late, Moyan Siluo drove the rebels in a hurry, at least half a day's work from here, but after half a day, we rushed up, and people don't know how many miles they drove out!"

Yang Xingben talked and laughed a lot, and the conflict with Pei Si didn't have much impact on him. Seeing that there was nothing to do with the war, Qin Jin simply stopped marching in a hurry, but followed Yang Xingben's step-by-step eastward movement. He got off his horse, stretched his legs and feet, and then took the cowhide water bag in the hands of his entourage, and poured a big mouthful, only to feel that most of the hot sweat on his body had dissipated.

"Mo Yan Siluo is holding back his strength now, and he doesn't want to be underestimated about the strength of the Hui soldiers. This is also thanks to Lu Qi, if it weren't for the fact that he beat the uncle and nephew in Hedong and polished their pathetic arrogance, how could he be obedient to the Shenwu military uniform?"

Yang Xingben was half a step behind Qin Jin, and he also sighed.

"The people on the grassland are like this, bullying and ferocious, but when they meet people who are more powerful and cruel than them, they turn into tame sheep. If the doctor can tame this hungry wolf on the grassland, it will help a lot in the future!"

This is the old man's words, and Qin Jin also has this mentality, suppressing and co-opting the Hui Ministry, and when the edges and corners on their bodies are almost grinded, they can be taken for their own use.

This battle is just to test the previous results, and it has been proved that Qin Jin's tactics of fighting and pulling are very effective, and Mo Yanluo's uncle and nephew not only dare not disobey the yang and the yin, but also work hard.

"Mo Yan Siluo has earned enough capital in the Central Plains, and after he goes back, that Huairen Khan has a headache!"

Yang Xingben suddenly took the topic further. Qin Jin smiled, and his heart said that Yang Xingben and his thoughts were consistent everywhere. The cultivation of the power of Moyan Siluo is not only to raise an obedient dog, but also an important force to intervene in the grassland. He had always heard that Huairen Khan had great ambitions and the great power to unify the grasslands, and under the chaos of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it may not be easy to restrain this person as before.

Now, you can cultivate a person who competes with one of them, which can be regarded as a lead for Huairen Khan to bury a thread in secret, and when necessary, it can be pulled out and used!

"Report!" Hedong Xue Huan and Qin Ruijun have written to ......"

Yang Xingben was stunned at first when he heard the report, it turned out that it was not Lu Qi himself who succeeded in the surprise attack on Cijian, but Xue Huan and Qin Rui who listened to orders under his command.

Xue Huan was born in the Xue family in Hedong, and Qin Rui was born in Qin Jin's house slaves, these two are also the number one figures in the Shenwu Army, and the merits accumulated on their bodies are not small, but under the system of the Shenwu Army, some people in their clan are in important positions in the Shenwu Army, and the difficulty of promotion is several times that of ordinary people.

This is also an intentional move by Qin Jin, on the one hand, in order to control the spread of nepotism in the army as much as possible, and on the other hand, to give opportunities to those who come from poor backgrounds. Over time, this atmosphere has evolved, and there have been new changes, not only limited to people in the clan holding important positions in the army, but also those who are born in famous families, and the qualifications required for the transfer of honor must be twice as high as usual.

If it is measured by common sense, the Shenwu Army should be abandoned if it is so unfair to the children of the family, but the fact is the opposite, whether it is Hedong or Guanzhong, countless children of the family have taken the initiative to ask to join the Shenwu Army, even if they start as a pawn commander.

In this way, the children of the poor family have more opportunities, and the children of the family in the army are also named the name of the high wind and bright festival, and the children of the poor family are more respected by them. This situation has formed a virtuous circle, making the Shenwu Army the only case in the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army, the family and the children of the Han family are in harmony, and there is no clear distinction between other forbidden armies.

Qin Jin simply read the military letter sent by Xue and Qin, and it was another great victory!

"These two can't bear it either, and they behead two thousand!"

Yang Xingben was surprised:

"Are the rebels really being driven to Cijian so soon?"

Qin Jin smiled and threw the military book to Yang Xingben and asked him to read it.

"That's not the case, Xue and Qin took the initiative to attack, and they took risks, but fortunately, there was no wind and waves, and there were no accidents!"

After reading the general's book at a few glances, Yang Xingben also laughed.

"The rebels are now like rats in bellows, scurrying around and running into walls everywhere, has the doctor ever thought of persuading them to surrender?"

Qin Jin's eyelids moved, he looked sideways at Yang Xingben and asked:

"Youyan elite is not better than these natives of Henan, its members are all some northern miscellaneous people, no relatives, no reason, no concern, no loyalty to the court at all. If they fall, staying will be a drag, and the food supply of nearly 20,000 people will be a big expense for the imperial court!"

saw Yang Xingben's eyes turn, and he made a chopping gesture with his hand as a knife.

"Why ......?"

He didn't say it explicitly, but after splitting his hand, he said:

"In this way, not only does it relieve the burden of the imperial court, but also reduces the casualties of the Shenwu army, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

How could Qin Jin not understand Yang Xingben's hint, it was clear that it was to kill and surrender! It was not that he had not considered this method, but in the end, he was still a little hesitant, and it was difficult to make a decision!
