Gao Qijin was silent, he also wanted to find someone to ask Qin Jin's question about the reason, but the fact was that I was afraid that no one in the court had the ability to answer this question. www.biquge.info At this time, if we look at the world again, who can turn the tide and turn things around when Tongguan is lost? I am afraid that Sun Wu, Bai Qi, and Wei Huo Qiqi will be reborn and will hardly be able to do anything.

He smashed his chapped lips and whispered:

"The top priority, how to deal with it, as for who is responsible, it is the responsibility of the court!"

This sentence has been said very directly, and it is telling Qin Jin that this is definitely not the time to ask the reason for the loss of Tongguan, because there is still a greater crisis waiting for them. Gao Qijin did not have the slightest hint of excitement after the siege army was repulsed by the reinforcements, on the contrary, he only thought that this was just a fluke, and the real elite of the Yan army was driving directly to Chang'an along the spacious avenue of Guanzhong.

After a short period of excitement, Qin Jin immediately regained his senses, and when he saw that the Tong Guan guard seemed to be a rather calm person, he secretly admired it in his heart.

"This person is by no means an idle person, but he was placed by the court in the Fengling Pass where birds don't, and the Ming princes in the court are really blind!"

The person who spoke was Chen Qianli, who came with Qin Jin, and the resentment in his heart was only more than Qin Jin, not less than Qin Jin, only to see that his originally fat belly had been several times smaller, and his robe looked a little awkward because of the change in his figure.

Qin Jin also agreed with Chen Qianli's words, but as the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you can't do what you can in a down-to-earth manner instead of being in private with your relatives. Therefore, although Qin Jin was dissatisfied with the filthiness of the imperial court's struggle for power and profit, he only buried himself in doing what he was capable of.

Gao Qijin, the guard general of Fengling, is indeed a calm person, and it is indeed a suitable person to let a military general with this kind of character take charge alone. However, although Fengling Pass is located in the east of the river, it is under the command and dispatch of Tongguan. In other words, Gao Qijin was Gao Xianzhi's subordinate, and he didn't believe that Gao Xianzhi was also a person who only knew about corpse food.

Sure enough, Gao Qijin was very dissatisfied with Chen Qianli's words and retorted:

"After Gao Xianggong came to Tongguan, although he was not as decisive as Geshu Lao Xianggong, he knew people well, and Gao didn't think that there was anything wrong with his appointment as the guard general of Fengling Pass!"

"You ......"

Chen Qianli is not a competitive person, but when he saw Gao Qijin defending Gao Xianzhi, he didn't know what to refute for a while, so he opened his mouth and stammered.

Seeing this, Qin Jin shook his head greatly, now that he was about to go to the house, the two of them could actually argue over whether Shangguan was a vegetarian or not, it was really a matter of priority.

"Okay, no matter what the high minister is, let's go into the city first. Although the Yan soldiers have retreated now, no one can guarantee that they will not kill them!"

One sentence reminded everyone that even the battlefield could not be cleaned, and all those who could walk and move would enter Fengling Pass.

The fortress of Fengling Pass was built entirely for military purposes at the beginning, so the main inhabitants of the city were the families of the garrison. Therefore, the entire Guancheng is not large, and the number of people that can accommodate it is at most between 10,000 people, and the 5,000 cavalry brought by Qin and Jin are all crowded in, which makes it seem congested.

But there's no way around it, and before dawn, no surprise can happen.

"This Fengling Pass is also one of the gateways in the Guanzhong, located in a key place, how can you be so stingy in repairing?"

Chen Qianli is a straight person, and at this time he forgot about the dispute just now, and began to complain that the construction of Fengling Pass was not lenient enough.

Gao Qijin explained:

"Your Excellency doesn't know that Fengling Pass is more special, but there is Fengling Crossing first, and then there is a city. At the beginning of the construction of this city, Fenglingdu was already a prosperous area, but although there was prosperity, the terrain was low, where there was a big water ten times to eight times it would flood the town, so when the city was built in the early years of this dynasty, it moved three miles to the north when the site was selected. ”

Qin Jin had heard of this situation as early as last year when he passed by here, and Chen Qianli had not been to Fengling Pass because he was in Chang'an, which was one step ahead of Qin Jin, so it was not surprising that he did not know much about the local history.

After learning the reason, Chen Qianli was speechless.

"The separation of military and civilian, a good thing, is also a bad thing. I'm afraid that Fenglingdu has been looted by the Yan soldiers and thieves!"

Unexpectedly, Gao Qijin said again: "I didn't see it, the Yan soldiers came in a hurry, and after crossing the river, they went straight to Guancheng, I was afraid that they planned to rob again after breaking the pass, but they were beaten by the elite cavalry of Qin Envoy Jun." It's also that people are not as good as heaven, just now Gao has sent someone to Fenglingdu to investigate the loss, and there must be a response soon. If the people are really spared, arrange for them to ...... as soon as possible."

At this point, Gao Qijin was speechless, he wanted to say that he would arrange for the people to be transferred to Guanzhong as soon as possible, but in a flash, he was shocked to think that at this time, Tongguan had been lost, and even Chang'an was facing the Yan army's soldiers, where could these people hide?

With a long sigh, Gao Qijin's expression was dejected.

"Could it be that the Tang Dynasty is really exhausted?"

Yes, as soon as Gao Xianggong's army was defeated, Tongguan was lost immediately afterward, and he marched forward, and a good situation turned into a danger of losing the country in an instant, and the huge gap even Gao Qijin and other calm people couldn't help but be shocked.

"Report ......"

While he was talking, sure enough, a soldier reported that Fenglingdu was not burned, killed and looted by the Yan soldiers, but the situation was not optimistic. Since the Yan soldiers crossed the border and besieged the city during the day, almost all the people have fled for their lives, and now Fenglingdu has become a dead land.

Knowing such a situation, even Qin Jin couldn't help but lament, since he went south from Hedong City, his eyes were full of the appearance of the country.

"Hedong is still safe at the moment, and the Yan soldiers can't get through for a while, so they can let the people flee to the north, and then there will be officials in charge of arranging all matters!"

One advantage of the eight counties in Hedong Province's control of the Shenwu Army was that there was a whole set of methods for sheltering refugees, and these refugees who fled to the local area not only did not bring instability to the local area, but enriched the population to replenish it to where it was needed.

After a brief training, the refugees in the camps are likely to go to two places: to be recruited into the local solidarity army, and to be used as cantonment fields and to dredge rivers......

Qin Jin would not explain these details to Gao Qijin, but Gao Qijin was still happy to pat his thigh after being reminded by Qin Jin.

"I was really dizzy, how could I forget that Qin Envoy Jun had just annihilated Cai Xide's rebels in Jiangzhou, I am afraid that Sun Xiaozhe's troops should also be frightened, and they will not go deep into Hedong to seek their own bad luck!

Qin Jin nodded, agreeing with Gao Qijin's ideas and statements.

"After the Yan army broke through Tongguan, the primary target was Chang'an, and before Chang'an fell, they would not point the spearhead directly at Hedong, so those talents outside Fengling Pass were scared back so easily. In the final analysis, it should be some rabble gathered along the way, we must not be carried away by this kind of lucky victory, thinking that the real elite of the Yan army is so vulnerable!"

This kind of thing can only be said by Qin Jin himself, so that it will not be dissented. Gao Qijin replied solemnly: "What the envoy reminds you is very much, how to deal with it next, the last general is willing to listen to the envoy's dispatch!"

Gao Qijian expressed his willingness to listen to Qin Jin's command, this was originally the way it should be, Gao Xianzhi now does not know whether he is alive or dead, and Gao Qijin, who has lost his boss, is naturally willing to listen to Qin Jin's dispatch, not to mention that Qin Jin is the only one who has completely annihilated the elite of the Yan army.

Qin Jin was not surprised by this, and asked after a deep groan:

"How many defenders are there at Fengling Pass?"

"Less than a thousand people died in the battle to defend the city during the day, and there are about 4,000 or so soldiers who can fight now!"

Four thousand men and horses are not a few, but if the Yan army attacks with the tide, I am afraid that it may not be able to hold it. However, the location of Fengling Pass is too important. For Tongguan, it is the key pass that guards the ferry port on the north bank of the Yellow River. On the other hand, for Hedong City, it is an important barrier from the threat of troops on the south bank of the Yellow River.

"Fengling Pass must not be lost, I hope you can firmly defend this place!" Qin Jinsi paused for a moment and said: "I will transfer another 5,000 people to you from Hedong, and military equipment will be transported intermittently, and the only requirement is to hold this place!"

This request may be difficult for some strongmen, but Gao Qijin did not hesitate and replied categorically:

"Please rest assured, the last general swears to live and die with Fengling Pass, people are in the city, people are dead in the city!"

Chen Qianli, who had not spoken for a long time, saw Gao Qijin impassioned, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he was a Jedi in Xin'an, and it was as tragic as in front of him, and he couldn't help but say:

"Chen is willing to stay and defend Fengling Pass with General Gao!"

As soon as these words came out, Gao Qijin couldn't help but look at the fat man who had just argued with him.

You must know that the location of Fengling Pass is extremely important, even if the Yan soldiers have no intention of going deep into Hedong before Chang'an is conquered, they will definitely try their best to capture this place. In other words, the soldiers who stayed here were all dead. Chen Qianli took the initiative to ask Ying and was willing to stay and defend the city, in Gao Qijin's opinion, it was definitely not a move to seize power, who would do such a ridiculous act in a place where he would die?

Thinking of this, Gao Qijin was looking at Chen Qianli.

"Your Excellency Gao Yi, Gao admires it so much!"

Chen Qianli helped Gao Qijin up, actually laughed, and said:

"The Lu of the Eater is just dying at this time of peril. Chen had assisted the Qin envoy Jun in guarding the city in Xin'an, and he still had some experience in this way, and he could also help General Gao if he stayed!"

Hearing this, Gao Qijin raised his head in surprise and stared at Chen Qianli for a while before he asked with difficulty:

"Could it be that Your Excellency was once a long history under the command of Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu......?"
