Chapter 938: When the Situation Rises

Regarding Qin Jin's arrangement, Zhang Jie was willing to cooperate from the bottom of his heart, and it was understandable to let Tian Chengsi be in charge of Chang'an's security with him, and it was difficult for a person whose status and qualifications were far from enough to take the lead. When he found Tian Chengsi and talked about it, Tian Chengsi was not surprised at all, he still had a calm expression, looking at him as if he was smiling.

"Could it be that Zhonglang will already know?"

Zhang Jie's mind also turned extremely fast, and he immediately understood that Tian Chengsi must have received instructions from Doctor Qin early in the morning.

Sure enough, Tian Chengsi raised his hand and patted his forehead twice, and said with a smile:

"Doctor Qin has indeed been angry with me a long time ago, but I didn't expect that such a heavy use of Zhang Ming Mansion is really enviable!"

Although he said envy, his smile was full of openness. Zhang Jie quickly straightened up and slammed to the ground.

"If it weren't for General Tian's support, what would the subordinate have been today?"

Tian Chengsi waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Don't mention these, how to control the security of Chang'an is your top priority for me and me!"

Since the Tubo people tossed around in Chang'an City, the people were in chaos, the powerful officials were in chaos, the forbidden army was also in chaos, many people fled, and many people took the opportunity to loot and steal. Although Li Guangbi controlled Chang'an, he could only master the city gates, and it was difficult to take care of the streets and alleys in the city.

At this time, Zhang Jie approached Tian Chengsi and asked in a low voice:

"Dare to ask the general, how should we enter the city?"

Tian Chengsi pointed to the official document on the desk.

"Before dawn tomorrow, enter the city in a low-key manner, there are less than four hours left, let's go separately, you go and gather the militia, I will quickly send someone to negotiate with Li Dayin now!"

Obviously, Qin Jin admitted that Jing Zhaoyin, who was appointed by Li Chenghong to Li Guangbi, and it is not clear what contact there was between the two in private, but they all understood that Li Guangbi was on the side of the Shenwu Army.

Zhang Jie agreed, but did not leave immediately, hesitated for a moment and asked with a look of anticipation:

"Dare to ask the general, has the doctor ever made a decision about the puppet son of heaven set up by the Tubo people?"

Tian Chengsi glared at him and said solemnly:

"If there is no shadow, don't speculate at will, you must know that trouble comes from the mouth!"

"Yes, the general reminded me, and the subordinates remembered!"

In Zhang Jie's speculation, after Qin Jin restored the two capitals, the first thing to do was to abolish Li Chenghong and set up a new monarch with higher legitimacy. There are hundreds of descendants of the Emperor Taishang alive, and it is not the turn of a side branch Li Chenghong to do this position.

The selection of elites in the private sector has been going on as early as the time of Changlepo, so Tian Chengsi is sure that he can complete the task of assembling 10,000 militia elites within four hours. When walking on the road, Zhang Jie kept sighing and sighing, if he had made a little mistake and chose the wrong path, he was afraid that he would be in a position now.

Fortunately, he met Tian Chenghe, who had a good heart, and knew that he had the act of defecting to the enemy, but he still tried his best to pull it. Of course, this is also inseparable from Dr. Qin's weight, when he thought of Qin Jin, he couldn't help but rejoice, and secretly swore that he would not let go of the opportunity in front of him.

In peacetime, promotions can only be done slowly, or by being promoted by powerful people, they can break the routine. And a turbidity current official like him, who was born in a poor family and has no background, can already be the county order of Gyeonggi Upper County. However, a big chaos disrupted everyone's future, and Zhang Jie, who had no hope for his career, met Qin Jin, who employed people regardless of whether he was high or low, and all kinds of extravagant hopes in the past were now possible.

For the battle to expel the Tubo people, Zhang Jie did not doubt the strength of the Shenwu army, which could fight from Chang'an to Luoyang, and from Luoyang to Chang'an. The famous generals in the Tianbao period have long since withered away, and Qin Jin, as the top figures in the emerging army, seems to have replaced their position, and even far surpassed them.

In the middle of the night, Tian Chengsi suddenly came to look for Zhang Jie in a hurry.

"Doctor Qin has drawn out his troops and moved in the direction of Jincheng overnight, and the big battle is about to break out. ”

"This is a good thing, why is General Tian anxious?"

According to their speculation, the Shenwu Army must wait for the defeat of both sides in the internal strife in Tibet before making a move, and now that they have made a move, the time should come.

Unexpectedly, Tian Chengsi said urgently:

"Far from the right time, the hasty dispatch of troops at this time can only tell one thing. ”

"What's the problem?"

Zhang Jie was taken aback by Tian Chenghe's words and couldn't help asking.

"There was an accident in Jincheng, maybe Doctor Qin had to send troops because of this!"

Zhang Jie was startled again, and his body trembled for a while.

"The Tibetans have merged again?"

Tian Chengsi shook his head resolutely.

"How can it be so easy, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie and Yixi Wangbo are incompatible, even if Yixi Wangbo votes for my Datang, he will not surrender to Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Chengsi paused suddenly, and after a while, he patted his thigh again and again, and screamed:

"Yes, it must be Shang Xijie!"

He suddenly thought of Shang Xijie, who raised 50,000 troops to attack Feng Yi, it must be that this Tubo army came back, so Doctor Qin suddenly changed his plan and hurriedly sent troops.

After hearing Shang Xijie's name, Zhang Jie was not as impatient as Tian Chenghei, and thought for a while before saying:

"Shang Xijie is back, and he may not be on the side of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie!"

Tian Chengsi was surprised, looked back at Zhang Jie and asked:

"Why?"

"It's just an intuition, there was infighting in Tibet, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was seriously injured, and Dazaru Gong took power on his behalf...... May General Tian think about it, if the general is in the position of Dazarugon, what is he most afraid of?"

Tian Chengsi pondered.

"Of course, what I am most afraid of is that someone will seize power, and what the army in front of the battle is most afraid of the difference in power.

As soon as the words came out, Tian Chengsi himself laughed, why did he ask such a stupid question in a hurry?

Zhang Jie said again:

"Now I'm just afraid that Shang Xijie will not play his cards according to common sense, and if he doesn't go to Jincheng and goes straight to Chang'an, that's a big trouble!"

Tian Chengsi said:

"It makes sense, Zhang Mingfu will quickly write a letter to inform Doctor Qin of these speculations one by one, in case of an accident, we will be embarrassed!"

The current situation is like playing chess, neither side has an overwhelming advantage, and the appearance of Shang Xijie is equivalent to disrupting the situation for the Shenwu Army. Zhang Jie pondered for a while, and suddenly realized a problem.

"Doctor Qin has always been known for his exhaustive strategy, how could he miss Shang Xijie? Shang Xijie led 50,000 troops to attack Feng Yi County, this is also a well-known thing!"

After such an analysis, Tian Chengsi also felt puzzled, indeed, Doctor Qin would never make such a low-level mistake, but Doctor Qin did not give them specific instructions on how to deal with Shang Xijie, which was really embarrassing.

After thinking for a while, Tian Chengsi still slapped his thigh.

"Write, send the letter over, be prepared, let's only enter Chang'an at dawn according to the plan, and the rest of the things, take one step at a time!"

Zhang Jie has always listened to Tian Chenghei, so he agreed to come down, picked up the pen, and abandoned the pen after a while.

The sky was light, and the corpses outside Jincheng were all over the field, and the blood was flowing like a river, and Yixi Wangbo finally withdrew into the city with all the remnants. After a day and night of fighting, the remaining 30,000 or 40,000 horses, including dead and wounded, fled, are now less than 20,000.

After entering the city, Yixi Wangbo didn't even dare to close his eyes, and stood in the city all night. Dazarugon sent a number of new annexes from Chang'an to attack the city at night. Jincheng is not Chang'an after all, the city wall is only two zhang high, and the brave soldiers are looking forward to the ladder can easily climb up.

At the beginning of nightfall, due to the lack of experience in defending the city, the defense was negligent, and the city was almost broken. After this shock, Yixi Wangbo divided the whole army into two groups, one to rest and wait for battle, and the other to defend the city against the night attack.

Dazarukon's men and horses had an advantage over Yixi Wangbo, that is, they were coerced by the new annexed army with a scale of tens of thousands of people, and many times the Tibetan army put the new annexed army in front. For example, the bloody battles during the day and the current night raids.

Yixi Wangpo had never hated those Tang people with rat heads so much, and Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was already unable to protect himself, so why should he follow him?

However, hatred is hatred, he doesn't understand or doesn't understand, and the dilemma in front of him is already difficult for him to solve.

"Did Qin Jin reply to the letter?"

This sentence was the seventh time he had asked tonight, because the defeat was too miserable, and seeing that the city was in danger of being destroyed, he had to ask the Shenwu Army for help again, and even agreed to a more excessive request that was similar to blackmail.

But even so, the Shenwu Army still did not appear at the first time. The Tibetan people have always been good at attacking, but they are not good at defending the city, and it seems a little powerless to defend a city like Jincheng, where the walls are not very high. It's just that every time he gets a negative response, he can't help but scold Qin Jin for being a villain who takes advantage of people's danger, and when he is tired of scolding, he closes his mouth and rests.

"Why should the deputy prime minister be in a hurry, Qin Jin just wants us to spend a little longer, and he will never sit back and watch us fall!"

It was the young Tsangpu Trisong Detsen who spoke, and compared to the impetuous Yixi Wangbo, this underage student looked extremely old.

As the so-called authorities are obsessed, Yixi Wangbo is also too concerned, so he has a gaffe at this time.

After Chi Song Dezan broke Qin Jin's thoughts, Yixi Wangbo also knew that it was reasonable, but he still couldn't help but sigh.

"I can't imagine that Qin Jin is so vicious, and cooperating with us is just because he has a bad heart!"

"What the deputy minister said is reasonable, since we recognize Qin Jin's true face, don't have any unrealistic illusions about him, sooner or later, we will have to return today's enmity intact!"
