Chapter 562: Woe to Xiao Wall
Qin Jin shook his head. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"It's not about rejecting the enemy, it's about chasing and destroying!"
The will to fight is greatly reduced, and it is really difficult for a strong man to resist a strong enemy, but it is very suitable to chase and fight a good fight. After Guo Ziyi heard this, he couldn't help but high-five, which not only stimulated the morale of the rebels, but also made them feel something, which was really a double win.
"The doctor is kind-hearted, and he is really better than the Sun thief!"
Qin Jin smiled, waved his hand and said:
"Don't quip, when have you seen me both benevolent and generous? Such an arrangement is just the result of judging the situation. ”
The two discussed for a while, Qin Jin looked at the rising sun in the sky, and then said to Guo Ziyi:
"Everything has been arranged, just waiting for the rebels to attack, I will now enter the palace to face the saint, and explain in detail the results of last night's battle, as well as the plan you and I have just discussed. ”
Just when Qin Jin rushed to the Taiji Palace with a horse, Li Mi, the servant of the door, had already entered the palace one step ahead of him.
"Your Majesty, Fugu Huien has already gone north to the grassland, and I believe that the cavalry of the Hui Department will be able to drive directly to Guanzhong in half a month. ”
Li Mi's eyes flashed with a faint brilliance, and the excitement was overflowing. However, Li Heng, as the Son of Heaven, is happy and worried.
"Can the Ministry of Returns put forward conditions?"
"The specific conditions are not yet known, but the minister has already explained that he must not make an appointment for the bottom line, please relax Your Majesty. ”
"That's fine, don't make the Hui Department gain an inch. ”
Li Mi nodded again and again, and muttered again.
"The minister thinks that before the cavalry of the Hui Department arrives in Guanzhong, they should be cautious, and only need to passively defend with a large army, and do not make extraneous branches, in case they ......."
Hearing this, Li Heng easily interrupted him.
"On this point, Sir can rest assured that I have already discussed it with Qin Qing, and the current situation is mainly conservative. ”
In this regard, Li Mi was very surprised, when the Son of Heaven discussed this matter with Qin Jin, he didn't even know. A trace of loneliness arose spontaneously in his heart, since Li Heng ascended the throne, this seemingly cowardly son of heaven no longer relies on himself for everything, and seems to have more independent views and practices.
Since Li Mi has a sense of loss, this feeling is also an unprecedented sense of crisis for him.
In order to regain the trust of the Son of Heaven, Li Mi spared no effort to suggest borrowing back the troops of the Su Army, in order to compete with Qin and Jin, so that Li Heng could understand that not only by fighting could the enemy retreat, but also by combining vertical and horizontal forces.
Li Mi shook his head.
"Your Majesty is wise, so the minister will rest assured!"
Li Heng smiled happily and stretched his body, which was a little numb from sitting for a long time
"Mr. and Qin Qing's views are rarely the same, so it is necessary to be revealed!"
Li Mi also laughed, but there was a little embarrassment in his smile.
"The minister and Qin Jin are not personal grudges, but they have different views, but Dongshi is dedicated to the public. ”
"Sir, I don't need to say much, I know that you are all for the ...... of the court"
The eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Imperial Doctor Qin Jin has met the Son of Heaven!"
Hearing this, Li Heng looked at Li Yu with a smile.
"What, this is when Qin Qing was mentioned, Qin Qing arrived, and it happened that you, I, the monarch and the minister sat together to discuss. ”
"Minister, minister......"
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Li Mi's face, and let him sit with Qin Jin to discuss important military affairs, which was really difficult for a strong man, but the Son of Heaven spoke, and in order not to sweep the Son of Heaven's interest, he could only pinch his nose and agree.
"The minister respectfully obeys the edict of the Son of Heaven!"
Seeing that Li Mi was tense all over, as if he was nervous and embarrassed, Li Heng smiled again, he had always hoped that Qin and Li could break the ice and reconcile, so that the harmony between the monarch and the minister could make the court tie together, so as long as there was an opportunity, he spared no effort to match the two.
It's a pity that Li Heng underestimated the difficult problem of reconciliation between Qin and Li, and in the end he could only be a mediator with wishful thinking.
Entering the hall, Qin Jin was stunned at first, he didn't expect Li Yu to come a long time ago. However, according to Li Yu's style, as long as he hears that he is coming, he will retire ten times and avoid sitting with him. Today, this person actually did not avoid it calmly, could it be that the sun came out of the west?
With doubts in his heart, Qin Jin greeted the Son of Heaven before taking a seat.
"Qin Qing came early in the morning, but there is a new battle situation?"
Li Heng, the Son of Heaven, got straight to the point, and Qin Jin replied bluntly:
"Your Majesty, last night Lieutenant Colonel Zhai Zhen discovered the siege ordnance secretly built by the rebels......"
Halfway through the words, Li Mi suddenly changed color.
"Are the rebels going to storm the city?"
If that were the case, the situation would have turned out very differently than he had hoped.
Qin Jin nodded, and did not answer directly, but continued what he had just said.
"After discussing with Guo Ziyi, the minister decided to sneak attack ...... overnight"
Li Mi's face was even more ugly.
"Sneak attack......?
Guo Ziyi was fortunate not to be dishonored, and most of the rebels' siege equipment was destroyed in the middle of the night. ”
Hearing Qin Jin mention that the rebels were building siege equipment, Li Heng's heart had already only been pinched, and he was relieved to hear that Guo Ziyi attacked overnight and destroyed more than half of the siege equipment in a battle.
"That's good, the rebels shouldn't be in a hurry to attack the city!"
Qin Jin replied with a cold expression.
"Otherwise, the minister thought that no matter whether the ordnance was burned or not, the rebels would attack the city on a large scale, and the minister came here to explain the reason to His Majesty. ”
After some careful analysis and explanation, Li Heng had long forgotten the original intention of bridging Qin and Li, and all his thoughts fell on the rebels and Sun Xiaozhe.
"Doctor's meaning, Sun Xiaozhe wants to fight the trapped beast?"
Qin Jin nodded heavily.
"Once the trapped beast fights, the rebels will do whatever it takes, and the casualties of our army will be unprecedented. ”
Li Heng's eyes were a little wandering, and he turned to look at Li Yu again.
"Sir, can the Hui soldiers come early?"
This is the first time that Li Heng and Li Mi mentioned the matter of borrowing troops from Hui Su in front of Qin Jin, and Li Heng had followed Li Mi's advice before, pretending to stay out of the matter, but now he blurted out in a hurry.
At this point, Li Yu's face was already very ugly, and he had been telling Li Heng not to say it, because in the Manchu Dynasty, there were not many people who supported the borrowing of troops by Hui Hui, and of course he didn't care about what Qianfu pointed out, but if he affected the reputation of the Son of Heaven because of this, then he would be unable to blame for his death.
At the same time, Qin Jin's face became even more ugly, he has always been resolutely opposed to borrowing troops from Hui Hui, and he has also made it clear in front of the Son of Heaven that borrowing Hui Hui's troops is equivalent to luring wolves into the house. And with the strength of the Tang Dynasty itself, it is possible to calmly retreat from the enemy, so why add an unpredictable change to the complex and volatile situation?
"The minister is opposed to borrowing troops from Hui Hui, if so, my Tang Dynasty's century-old prestige will be lost!"
After blurting out, Li Heng also found out that something was wrong, but the wood was already in the boat, so he generously admitted it.
"I did send my servant Gu Huaien to the desert grassland in person to borrow troops from the Hui Ministry, this is just for the sake of the country's society, one more layer of insurance, compared to a hundred years of prestige, I really think that the survival of the society has become an urgent problem. Qin Qing should also know that the lesser of two evils, and I am not a contradiction and pain in making this decision, but for the sake of the survival and long-term peace and stability of the society, I have to grit my teeth and ...... it."
Li Heng is still a responsible person, he did not put the responsibility on Li Mi, nor did he explain too much about the decisions he made, and he was very sincere in dissecting his heart.
In the face of such a lowering of his posture, what could Qin Jin say even if he was dissatisfied? Could it be that blaming Li Heng would make up for it? Since he couldn't, why did he do such a futile thing.
After a long time, Qin Jin sighed softly.
"The ministers will try their best to solve the crisis in the customs before the Hui soldiers enter the customs, so that they can send the Hu soldiers out of the country with a justifiable gift. ”
At this time, Li Mi asked with a gloomy face:
"Have you ever seen an arrow on the bow and there is no reason why you don't send it?"
Faced with doubts, Qin Jin's face also became extremely ugly, he had always had a good impression of Li Yu, although this person was always against him, but he was by no means as despicable and shameless as Yang Guozhong and Cheng Yuanzhen just for his own selfishness. But at this moment, there was a hint of disgust in his eyes when he looked at Li Yu.
If it really comes to the critical moment of life and death, if you don't borrow back the soldiers of the Su Dynasty, you will destroy the country and the species, then it is understandable to borrow the soldiers.
In the original history, the rebels captured Chang'an, and Li Heng fled to Lingwu in a hurry, with almost no available soldiers in his hands, and borrowing troops from Hui Hui became the only way.
However, the situation is by no means the same now, and Chang'an has not fallen into the hands of the rebels for a day. After requisitioning all the men in the city, the imperial court could reach 100,000 in Chang'an alone, and there were tens of thousands of elite Shenwu troops in Hedong and Tongguan to resist the thieves. Although on the surface, the rebels have the advantage, but the difference between good and bad is also in an instant, and borrowing back the army is not an inevitable choice at all.
The reason why Li Mi intended to return to the Ministry of Enlightenment to borrow troops was to oppose Qin Jin, so as to regain the trust that originally belonged to him from the Son of Heaven.
This is harming the public for personal gain, and Qin Jin can no longer tolerate this.
However, Qin Jin did not intend to have a public argument with Li Mi in front of the Son of Heaven in the palace, tearing his face would only make the court more torn, and at the moment when the enemy was in front, it could only make the relatives hurt and the enemies happy.
"The truth is that there is no precedent, this time Qin Jin can cover up to the servant under his door, how can he not send an arrow on the string, can it?"
It was the first time that Qin Jin had made a verbal argument, and Li Yu looked at him in surprise, a little stunned for a while, but quickly returned to normal.
Since the doctor was willing to demonstrate, Li Mi opened his eyes. ”
Seeing that the two of them turned to fight regardless of political affairs, Li Heng couldn't cry or laugh, but even so it was better than attacking each other because of political opinions.
What he is most afraid of now is that his subordinates will harm the government because of political disagreements......
