Chapter 939: The Great War Finally Begins

Although the night was like ink, the attacks still happened from time to time, and Yixi Wangbo did not dare to slack off, for fear that the young Zampu would make an accident, and after discussing it for a while, he insisted that he go down to the city and go back to rest. However, despite his youth, Trisong Detsen was much more determined than his peers, and not only rejected Iki Wangbo's suggestion, but even let Iki Wangbo rest for a while, and let him take charge here.

"The deputy prime minister hasn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights, and if he continues to stay up like this, I'm afraid that my iron body won't be able to hold it, if the deputy minister falls, who else can assist me?"

These words made Yixi Wangbo's heart warm, and he felt that his forbearance and persistence over the years had not been in vain. However, the more this is the case, the more he cannot relax a little. Now that the matter has come to this, he has to be more cautious to ensure that the situation does not deteriorate suddenly.

"Now, we can't all count on the treacherous Qin Jin, and there must be a final retreat......

The so-called retreat in his mouth was nothing more than the worst-case plan in case the army was defeated, so that Trisong Detsen could escape with his whole body. However, halfway through the sentence, Trisong Detsen, as if he knew what he was going to say, flatly refused and prevented what he was going to say next.

"If you can't return to Tubo in life, it's better to die here cleanly, the students of the deputy prime minister understand it, but if they have the mind of the back road at this time, how can they turn the tide?

"Zampu ......"

Suddenly, Yixi Wangbo burst into tears, in his eyes, Trisong Detsen is indeed a good material far better than the previous two generations of Zampu, but it is a pity that he was born at the wrong time, if he was born ten years early, he would have been an adult by now, how could he let the ruler of Danzhu and Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie be easily at the mercy of powerful ministers?

"I really hope Zampu grows up soon......"

These are his heartfelt words, from the bottom of his heart. If this wish can be fulfilled immediately, even if he dies now, he will be willing. It's a pity that a wish can only be a wish, and it is impossible for Trisong Detsen to violate the law of life, old age, sickness and death and grow into an adult in an instant.

Trisong Detsen's attitude was much more optimistic than that of Yixi Wangbo.

"Now that there is a deputy minister by his side, it is not a good thing for students to experience a few more years, as long as they survive today's crisis, if the deputy minister and students can return to the plateau safely......"

He was in high spirits, but was suddenly interrupted by an urgent report.

"Report! Tanma found signs of a large number of people marching east of Jincheng, and eighty percent of them were Tang people!"

Hearing this, Yixi Wangbo's eyes immediately lit up.

"I can't imagine that this treacherous Qin Jin is actually willing to raise troops to save us! Quick, quickly convey this great news, let all the departments settle down and defend the city, we have saved ......"

Although Yixi Wangbo had scolded Qin Jin very badly before, after hearing the news that Qin Jin had led troops to help, he was still a little excited and couldn't help himself. Trisong Detsen was also the same as Yixi Wangbo, his face flushed with excitement, and even more red in the light of the torches.

At dawn, Dazarugon finally launched a large-scale attack on Jincheng, whether it was the new annex army or the elite men and horses of the Tubo lineage, they all rushed straight to the walls of Jincheng with overwhelming momentum. Although Jincheng is a county of a county, its scale is still 108,000 miles behind a big city like Luoyang, Chang'an. The city wall is no more than two zhang high, the radius is only five miles, and the four city gates are neither high nor short, and they are suddenly besieged by an army of 100,000 people, and it looks like a flat boat that is shaking and dangerous in the stormy waves.

Although the morale of the new annexed army is average, it is far superior to the Tibetan in the means of siege, and it is the first to kill the head of the city several times, and the terrifying Yixi Wangbo tried his best to suppress the fierce siege momentum. At the same time, he was also eagerly looking forward to the arrival of Qin Jin's Shenwu army as soon as possible, with the current situation of stalemate between the two sides, as long as the Shenwu army was willing to launch a surprise attack on any position on Dazarugong's flank, it would have an extremely serious impact on Dazarukong's troops and horses.

At this moment, Qin Jin, under the support of his guards, had arrived in an unnamed valley less than twenty miles away from Jincheng, and the army was calmly advancing ten miles behind. This time, it was Qin Yan, who was born as a house slave who followed him to attack Jincheng, who had been up and down in the Shenwu Army for several years, and suffered a lot because of his fiery temper, and his official position had been stuck in the position of Zhonglang General and could not be promoted. If it is purely calculated by military merit, even if it is promoted to the third rank of the general, it is more than enough.

However, after several years of training, Qin Yan's temperament has been stable many times, and now he is also full of energy hoping that by expelling Tubo and recovering Xijing, he can overcome the insurmountable hurdle of Zhonglang Jiang.

Qin Yan has always been stuck in the position of Zhonglang General, which has become a well-known thing in the Shenwu Army, and many people even ridiculed him for this matter. Although he always pretends to be indifferent on the surface and looks like nothing happens, in fact, he has been holding his breath in his heart, that is, he wants to make fewer mistakes and get out of the cursed position of Zhonglang as soon as possible......

Therefore, Qin Yan's state of mind at this time was to be happy when he saw the hunt, and the news that batch after batch of exploration horses brought back was also exciting, the soldiers and horses of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's department launched a full-scale attack on Jincheng, if they took this opportunity to surprise their flank, they would definitely be hit hard.

However, Qin Jin rejected his suggestion to immediately send troops to attack.

"Why is the doctor like this, if we don't take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, in case they ......."

Qin Jin ignored Qin Yan's impatient thoughts, and said with a slight smile:

"The time is not yet right, don't let their own family kill both sides, you and I will take action now to add fuel to the trouble in the future......"

"Well, where does this start?"

Qin Yan didn't understand the words of his old master Qin Jin, but he still implemented Qin Jin's words to the letter. Of course, Qin Jin also noticed that Qin Yan's mentality was a little impetuous, so he comforted him with good words:

"I know what you think, you can rest assured, as long as you don't make mistakes recklessly, this achievement will be the day you are promoted to general!"

Qin Jin had never expressed his opinion so bluntly, and saying so was tantamount to giving Qin Yan a promise to avoid being impetuous, and in the end he would get into trouble again. Qin Yan suddenly realized Qin Jin's thoughts, his face couldn't help but be hot, and he was secretly ashamed in his heart, after all these years of training, he couldn't always make trouble on the same issue, right?

A feeling of being despised suddenly surged in Qin Yan's heart, in order to change his reckless image, the efforts he has made over the years are not small, but Qin Jin still rarely gives him the opportunity to lead the troops alone, maybe today is the moment to completely change the inherent impression of others on him.

"Don't worry, the doctor will be able to endure it!"

Being able to endure it was equivalent to telling Qin Jin that he had already understood his thoughts.

The corners of Qin Jin's mouth went up, and a smile was raised.

"The field strength of the Tibetan elite soldiers is far superior to mine*, if we don't take advantage of this opportunity to let them lose more strength, once they are allowed to return to the plateau calmly, sooner or later they will turn their swords and guns and kill again. If we succeed in completely quelling Shi Siming's rebellion at that time, it will be fine, in case everything is not harmonious, we end up in a situation where we are attacked from both sides and suffer from the enemy's back, how should we deal with it?"

"What the doctor said is very true! Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight for the time being!"

This topic was put aside, and Qin Jin also fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about some thorny problem.

But Qin Yan was born as Qin Jin's domestic slave after all, and after being silent for a while, he finally couldn't help but have nothing to say.

"The doctor promised that the last general could be promoted one step after the war, then, shouldn't the doctor also enter the cabinet to pay respects to the prime minister?"

In fact, there has long been this kind of voice in the Shenwu Army, with the status and military merits of Qin and Jin today, a mere imperial historian has long been out of match, and it is reasonable to go further. However, the previous authorities of the imperial court, whether Li Heng or Empress Zhang, were very jealous of Qin and Jin, and only gave them false titles, and their officials and functions remained unchanged.

Now the situation is very different, the emperor Li Longji* died tragically, Li Heng is missing, Empress Zhang also fled in panic, and even the crown prince Li Yu, who had been pinned on by the courtiers, is also missing. At this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, there is no one in the court who can restrain Qin Jin, and it is natural for Qin Jin to go further.

But Qin Jin glared at him and reprimanded:

"Hugh has to discuss the government in vain, you just have to bury your head in the war, if you talk more, the general who is not afraid of it will fly again?"

Seeing this, Qin Yan quickly shut up and bowed his head, knowing that he was talking too much again, and he couldn't wait to slap himself a few big mouths.

In fact, compared to Qin Yan, who was bent on promotion, Qin Jin's mind was not on these false names at all, even if he had been this imperial historian, he could not enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, with the merits and influence of the Shenwu Army today, who would dare to challenge his authority? Who would dare not carry out what he said?

Qin Jin has always taken pragmatism as the first purpose, if he rashly adds himself to the rank of knight, it will only attract more people to criticize him, and it will bring many unexpected troubles.

It was nearly noon, and the team arrived in the valley where Qin Jin was located, and the horses flew again to report that Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's troops had almost occupied the initiative in the siege, and Jincheng would not be able to hold out until sunset.

Qin Yan asked for war again, but Qin Jin held back the same impatient thoughts, and waited, and it was not too late to send troops when the golden city was about to be broken.

"Where is Wu Hu Huaizhong?"

Wuhu Huaizhong and his 3,000 Tongluo cavalry had been acting as Qin Jin's personal guards, and this time Qin Jin planned to unsheath his sword.

"The last general!"

"Order you to lead the cavalry of your subordinate to the rear flank of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's department, and move at any time, without waiting for my command ......"

"Where is Qin Yan......

The arrangement of military orders after one after another is smooth, as if everything is ready, and only the east wind is owed......
