Qin Jin put his hands together and took a breath of hot air close to his mouth to relieve the paralysis and stiffness caused by the extreme cold. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The north wind blew on the walls of Chang'an for half an hour, making it difficult for him to even draw his knife out of its sheath.

Today is the first day of the first year of Zhide, Kaiyuan Tianbao has been completely buried in the dust of history, Qin Jin overlooks the undulating Yan army barracks outside the city, from the first day of the siege to the present, it is really difficult to recall, how to persevere.

Now, as time passes, the smaller the advantage and the greater the disadvantage for the rebels. However, for the Tang Dynasty, the road ahead may not be bright.

Even if the 200,000 rebels suffered a large-scale mutiny, and the strength of the soldiers was greatly damaged, people are a military force that should not be underestimated, and it would be a big mistake to naively think that they will triumph all the way from now on.

Now the whole city is filled with the tragedy and excitement of the imminent great war, and the once-in-a-lifetime merit of turning the tide may fall on everyone involved.

Self-confidence is a good thing, but blind self-confidence and optimism can sometimes blind people and bring unpredictable disasters.

Therefore, Qin Jin has reminded himself more than once that he must stay awake enough, must not be carried away, and always be vigilant and careful, so as to persevere until the last moment.

While thinking about it, Li Yulai, the king of Guangping, also went up to the city wall and found Qin Jin.

Since the Son of Heaven issued an edict to recruit men between the ages of sixteen and sixty in the city, there have been more intersections between Li Yu and Qin Jin.

It is true that the power to levy, issue and promote is in the hands of Li Yu, but how to preliminarily train these newly recruited men into reserve soldiers who can go to the battlefield is a more important and thorny issue. Therefore, the task of training can only be entrusted to experienced instructors from the Shenwu Army.

In the Shenwu Army, the instructor is a position set by Qin Jin, and the salary and salary are double or even four or five times that of the soldiers of the same level. Therefore, everyone in the Shenwu Army is proud to be an instructor.

Now, the requisition work has come to an end, and the formulation and implementation of specific training measures have become the top priority, so Li Yu needs to go to Qin Jin every day to ask for instructions and report.

According to the preliminary plan, the newly recruited men planned to set up a new army, which was self-contained outside the three-tier structure of the Shenwu Army, the Civilian, and the Unity Army.

"I heard that the doctor is going to hold a pledge meeting?"

The oath before the expedition has been in place since ancient times, but the reason why Li Yu feels special is that this oath is presided over by the Son of Heaven himself.

The Son of Heaven presided over the oath, and its significance was naturally extraordinary, and he had already faintly realized that although Qin Jin had declared that victory was imminent, he was worried in his heart. It's just that this is just a guess, and this kind of speculation can't really be asked, and even if you ask, the other party may not tell the truth.

After all, even if he knew Qin Jin's true thoughts in his heart, would it be of any benefit to the facts?

"The pledge meeting should be fast, large-scale, and simple, and it will be successful if it can inspire morale!"

Qin Jin's words were concise and to the point, and Li Yu listened with some enthusiasm, which clearly meant that the war was imminent.

"What's the matter, the doctor has set a specific date for the counterattack?"

At this moment, not only him, but everyone had been waiting for too long.

It's a pity that Qin Jin shook his head.

"There is no specific date, and it is only piecemeal to deal with the Sun thief, and it is not suitable for a decisive battle!"

Li Yu's remarks were far beyond Li Yu's expectations, if there was no decisive battle, why did he rush to hold this oath? However, the prince's reserve made him resist the urge to ask, and the other party naturally said it if he wanted to, and it was useless to ask if he didn't want to.

Sure enough, Qin Jin turned around and put his hand together to warm up his mouth.

This is the moment when the two armies are most hearted to fight each other! The road to counterinsurgency is long, and we cannot fight all the people in a single battle. ”

"The doctor's meaning, the soldier who surrenders without a fight?"

Qin Jin shook his head again.

"Not necessarily without a fight, but not at all. ”

Qin Jin's thoughts still haven't changed, on the one hand, he is deadlocked, and on the other hand, he is persuaded to surrender, waiting for one to eliminate the other, and defeat the thief with the thief.

It's just that he didn't tell Li Yu about this idea, and I believe that with his intelligence, he can guess a thing or two.

On the tenth day of the first year of Germany, nearly 100,000 people gathered on the square outside the East Market, and the Qinzheng Building of Xingqing Palace next to the square has been renovated.

The appearance of the Son of Heaven in the crown on the Qinzheng Tower immediately attracted noisy cheers, which were endless. These cheers are like streams converging, gradually becoming clear and unanimous, turning into rhythmic banzai.

Hooray! Hooray!

The sound of the crowd filled the whole world in an instant, Li Heng only felt dizzy, when the emperor was on the throne, he had never seen such a scene, he deeply felt the support of the people for him.

But in an instant, Li Heng actually had an unreal feeling of being a human being in two lives.

At the time of his death, he was frightened and frightened every day, and he never experienced the happiness brought by the emperor's throne for a moment, and today's pledge meeting knows how happy it is to be admired by all the people!

The dizziness dissipated, and confidence and calmness gradually appeared in Li Heng's gaze, and he gazed affectionately at the crowd downstairs under Qinzheng.

They are not just ordinary people, everyone will go to the battlefield one day in the future to shed their blood for the community.

The important ministers also followed Li Heng to the Qinzheng Building, and they were all shocked by this sudden momentum, and everyone did not expect that at such a moment when the mountains and rivers were almost exhausted, the Son of Heaven still had such a high prestige, and they couldn't help but cry out one by one, calling for the hope of revival.

As the other protagonist of the oath, Qin Jin deliberately lowered his position a lot, and let Li Yu, the king of Guangping, play against the Son of Heaven with the gift of the commander.

The whole oath meeting was as arranged by Qin Jin, the time period, the process was simple, and when everyone was still unfinished and the mood was high, the figure of Li Heng, the son of heaven, had already disappeared into the Qinzheng Building. Some people were very puzzled by Qin Jin's move, and unanimously agreed that since the mood of the military and the people was high, why not conform to the will of the people and extend the pledge meeting to maximize the effect.

However, Qin Jin had other ideas.

Such a large-scale gathering is a double-edged sword, and if an accident arises in the event of an unfortunate gathering of 100,000 people and not a highly trained army, it can cause chaos on an unprecedented scale.

Therefore, from the beginning of the oath to the end of the oath, Qin Jin's heart always hung high, and he was slightly relieved until the successful end.

As the counteroffensive within the imperial court became more and more reciprocal, there were more and more officials who expected the situation to be optimistic, which also brought Qin Jin an underestimated and expected trouble.

Voices against Qin and Jin have been sporadically popping up since the first day of the first year of Zhide, among which the most damning content of the accusation is that the monopoly of power and the desire to do wrong.

In fact, for this kind of sign, Qin Jin made preparations early on, not only deliberately kept a low profile, but also introduced Li Yu, the king of Guangping, and made him responsible for the formation of the new army. In order to silence the opponents, he still underestimated the determination of the opponents.

Therefore, after the oath meeting, Qin Jin was not only not comfortable, but even more troubled, not only planning to disintegrate Sun Xiaozhe from time to time, but also raising his spirit to beware of someone stabbing him in the back.

Fortunately, Li Heng, the Son of Heaven, still supported and trusted Qin Jin as always, and each time he summoned him alone, it was more than an hour, so after a few days, those who hoped that Li Heng was suspicious of Qin Jin because of rumors were greatly disappointed.

Qin Jin was far more suspicious and unjust than Li Longji during his reign, and his grievances were far greater than today's, when today's son Li Heng was kind-hearted and his style was very different from that of his father, so he was always right to relieve him. Just like this sudden rumor incident, Li Heng was inconvenient to express his position openly, and he frustrated the dark thoughts of some people with only practical actions.

……

Gyeonggi Province, at the western foot of Qishan Mountain, on the border between Gyeongsofu Province and Fufeng County, gathered more than 10,000 people from all over the world on the 10th day of the first year of Zhide. Since Li Siye announced the edict of the Son of Heaven in Guanzhong, the people who were tired of fleeing for their lives seemed to see the lights guiding the direction at night, and they rushed here to help the old and the young.

As the number of men increased and the population grew, reaching 200,000, Li Siye suddenly felt nervous and embarrassed, the supply of food exceeded the demand, and the limited food plundered from the rebels was far from enough.

Duan Xiushi suggested that Li Siye should not delay any longer, and if he was in a hurry, he would simply counterattack in a big way.

In this regard, Li Siye thought so, but he was afraid that if it dragged on any longer, the people would flee in large numbers because they had no food to eat, and the morale of the men gathered would fall heavily, and the great opportunity for counterattack would be lost. So he decided not to wait for the Shenwu army on the Chang'an side, but to act in advance.

The first target was selected as the county of Fufeng County.

This was not only the beginning of the counteroffensive, but also a deliberate temptation by Li Siye.

As one of the three assistants of Jingzhao, Fufeng County's status is on a par with Feng Yijun, and the rebels will definitely not sit idly by, no matter how they react, Li Siye will judge Sun Xiaozhe's true situation from it.

Duan Xiushi saw that Li Siye was worried, so he said:

"The deputy marshal doesn't have to worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge!"

Li Siye sighed, According to his estimate, the fighting spirit of the Fufeng rebels is low, and it will not be a problem to capture Yongxian.

"I'm not afraid of losing the battle, I'm worried about Servant Grace!"

After getting Li Yu's letter, Fugu Huaien left the army, and Qi did not hide the purpose of his visit from Li Siye, that is, to set off for the grassland desert and borrow troops from Tiele Hui.
