The military needs of the Shenwu Army are nothing more than two things, one is armor, and the other is grain and grass. The official in charge of contacting the Shenwu Army in the political hall shirked several times, saying that there was a great drought in Guanzhong this year, and the grain and grass in the treasury were supplied to the Jingshi on the one hand, and the Tongguan army on the other hand, and they were already overstretched.

"A bunch of birds in the political affairs hall said that they would even let our Shenwu army go to Feng Yi to raise food on the spot. ”

Yang Xingben echoed Lu Qi, and scolded angrily.

"Yang Er, you still have such a quick temper and such an attitude, which just gives the people in the political hall a tongue. ”

Pei Jing blamed from the side, thinking that Yang Xingben's quick temper could only be bad. However, Yang Xingben was not convinced, and pointed at Lu Qi.

"This temper is not good, but it is he who negotiates with them, and his temperament is always calm, what is the result?"

After hearing this, Pei Jing sighed and asked again:

"There is an excuse for grain and grass, and in terms of armor and arrows, you can't shirk it, right?"

Lu Qi said hatefully: "There is only one word, 'wait'!"

With the methods of the people in the political affairs hall, I don't know how long it will be delayed. Pei Jing has long known the efficiency of these DPRK and Chinese officials since he was a child, and even if there is no entanglement, Ping Suli will drag it out, but now that he has been instructed by someone Yang, does he have to drag it out until the Year of the Monkey?

Now that the grain and grass are not given, and the armor is not issued, anyone can guess that this must be Yang Guozhong's troubles behind his back.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Yang Guozhong suffered a big loss in the hands of the Shenwu Army, lost his ugliness, and turned his face to take revenge. And the Son of Heaven may not have the heart of connivance. Qin Jin knew this, and his subordinates' resentment towards the political hall had fermented to the extreme at this time today.

"Go to the Son of Heaven to sue him, and see how Yang Guozhong's guy denies it?"

"Sue him for using his power for personal gain, and report his personal vendetta!"

However, Lu Qi, who was the most angry, poured cold water on several lieutenant colonels.

"Sue whom, sue whom, sue whom? It's all a raccoon dog, I can't wait for us to fend for ourselves!"

There was a wave of frustration among the crowd.

"Then how can you be willing!"

Cursing indiscriminately for a while, all eyes were focused on Qin Jin's body, Qin Jin, as the soul and core of the Shenwu Army, was the backbone of everyone, and everyone here firmly believed that as long as he was there, he could turn decay into magic.

In fact, Qin Jin did have a countermeasure a long time ago, and in his opinion, such a trick played by the political affairs hall was tantamount to being in the middle of it.

Qin Jin looked at Lu Qi.

"After noon, continue to negotiate with the political affairs hall, it is not impossible for the Shenwu army to go to Feng Yi to raise their own funds, they must be officially written, stamped with the prime minister's seal, and they don't want a grain of grain from the Chang'an Mansion. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Yang Xing was straightforward and exclaimed:

"This, isn't this convincing?"

In his opinion, Qin Jin doing this was tantamount to finding a step down for himself, so that his face would not be too ugly.

Lu Qi seemed to have an understanding, and immediately bowed down to promise.

"The last general will remember that after noon, he will go to the political hall to negotiate!"

Immediately afterwards, Pei Jing seemed to realize something, but he wanted to stop talking. Yang Xingben noticed the change in their faces, and asked again and again, but there was no response.

And Qin Jin naturally won't say anything, letting the Shenwu Army go to Feng Yi to raise food and grass on the spot, it is equivalent to the political hall loosening the rope around the neck of the Shenwu Army, and it is difficult to control it. Compared with the current difficulty, the Shenwu Army has less constraints, but it is actually a rare and great opportunity.

It's a pity that Yang Guozhong thought that this kind of trick could force the Shenwu Army to move hard, but he was very wrong.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report, and Du Qianyun asked to see him.

In the Shenwu army, Du Ganyun's sense of people is very poor, this is a wall-top grass who sees the wind and rudder, and is a villain. However, Qin Jin doesn't seem to have any prejudices against this person, as long as he uses this person, he can often get miraculous results.

"Bring it in!"

A moment later, Du Qianyun appeared in everyone's sight, with a trademark smirk on his face, and he bowed to the ground facing Qin Jin.

Qin Jin sat on the couch, gave a false hand, and ordered someone to watch the seat.

Before Qin Jin could ask, Du Qianyun took the initiative to explain his intentions.

"I heard that the envoy was going to leave in five days, and he humbled and asked to go to Feng Yi with the envoy, and also to do his meager help for the court. ”

Qin Jin secretly sneered, Du Qianyun said it well, but he was actually afraid of Yang Guozhong's revenge and the reckoning of the Son of Heaven. In the mutiny, he first attached himself to Li Mi, a confidant of the crown prince Li Heng, and then saw that the situation was not good, and fell to the Shenwu army, facing the prince with swords and guns. Although after the chaos, he will have his share in the rewards for meritorious deeds, but God knows when it will be liquidated on his head. People like Du Qianyun must have shit on their buttocks, as long as they find a random crime, they can be put to death.

Du Qianyun was also quite far-sighted at this time, knowing that Chang'an was not a place to stay for a long time, and he also planned to go out to take refuge.

"Yang Xianggong is willing to let Du Changshi go out?"

Du Qianyun obviously came prepared, and he didn't want to change his face to cry and mourn immediately, and said hatefully: "Yang Xianggong has long regarded humility as a disobedience. ”

This surprised Qin Jin, Yang Guozhong's movements were not slow, judging from this rhythm, he couldn't wait to carry out a comprehensive cleansing. At the same time, he was also glad that he could take the Shenwu Army to retreat because he saw the opportunity early, otherwise he would stay in Chang'an, and Yu Tianzi would be able to do nothing, so he could only wait stupidly and watch the changes in the situation outside Tongguan.

……

Yang Guozhong was a little depressed, he thought that he had strangled the necks of Qin Jin and the Shenwu army with the supply of grain, grass and armor, and made them fall into passivity. But Qin Jin didn't seem to have the ability to resist this, but obediently acquiesced to the excuse of the political affairs hall to shirk, and only let the official text of the political affairs hall no longer make noise.

In fact, the grain in the treasury of Chang'an Mansion is enough to support most of the Guanzhong for half a year, and it can roughly survive the period of lack of success, and it is naturally not a problem to allocate grain and grass to the Shenwu Army. It's just that he doesn't give half a grain of grain to the Shenwu Army, even if the grain in the treasury is moldy and eaten by mice, it must not be cheap Qin Jin's shaft.

However, Qin Jin's reaction was cold, and he even said that he didn't care at all, which made Yang Guozhong have the illusion of hitting the air with a punch, and he was indescribably depressed. At the same time, there was also suspicion in his heart, Qin Jin has always been cunning, and his actions are abnormal, and he must have some ghost ideas. However, he racked his brains and thought about it for a whole afternoon, but he didn't find that Qin Jin still had any chance to turn over.

Although Qin Jin controls the Shenwu Army and is responsible for the garrison of part of the city gates, as long as he recognizes the authority of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to bypass the political hall and use the grain and grass in the treasury.

You must know that more than seventy percent of the Shenwu army are children of the Xunqi clan, and they are willing to give up the flowery world of Chang'an City to endure hardships in local counties and counties?

Of course, Yang Guozhong will not do things too desperately, he knows that the Chang'an Zhuwei Forbidden Army usually has seven days of grain stock, and the Shenwu Army is about to start in five days, as long as the deadline passes, Qin Jin leaves Chang'an, and the Shenwu Army can naturally have a reasonable excuse to shirk the responsibility because of the lack of food.

However, from the investigation report of his cronies, everything was as usual in the Shenwu Army, and there was no sign of people's hearts fluctuating, which made him feel a faint sense of frustration.

There is also a piece of news, after Yang Guozhong heard it, he had the illusion of swallowing a fly.

Du Qianyun, who eats inside and out, actually wags his tail and goes to Qin Jin to show his goodwill, but he hates that there is no suitable reason to send him to prison immediately for questioning. Because now his energy is mainly focused on another group of officials, most of whom have explicitly or implicitly expressed their support for the crown prince in the mutiny.

Among these people, Zhongshu Ling Wei Jiansu bore the brunt. After all, he had expressed his support for the prince to the government and the opposition, and even his son, Wei Wei, openly entered and exited the prince's temporary residence.

Over the past few days, hundreds of officials have been implicated as a result, most of whom are of course Yang Guozhong's political enemies and opponents. Yang Guozhong's cronies and supporters were easily removed from the list of rebels.

In the final analysis, this is the pretext of punishing the remnants of the rebellious party to crack down on dissidents and purge political opponents. Yang Guozhong is right, because with the acquiescence of the Son of Heaven, he can not take anyone in his eyes, including the titular Zhongshu Ling Gao Xianzhi.

Thanks to the first battle of Xingqing Palace, this Zhongshu Ling has been recuperating at home. Moreover, most of the officials in the political hall are Yang Guozhong's cronies, so naturally Yang Guozhong is the only one who looks forward. Therefore, although Yang Guozhong only served as the prime minister with the same three products under the Zhongshu Sect, he had faintly become the head of the prime minister.

It's a pity that the good mood brought by purging dissidents was ruined by Qin Jin. The intended goal was not achieved, and Yang Guozhong had to think hard about new methods of suppression.

In addition, there was an important matter that stuck in his throat. Somehow, although the Son of Heaven cleaned up the rebel remnants of the party with great fanfare, he did not say a word to the crown prince Li Heng, who was the "head of the party".

What exactly did the Son of Heaven do, and why did he delay punishing the prince?

……

When he was in charge of the lamp, Qin Jin was unprecedentedly idle. This made him feel a little at a loss, and the pressure that followed him forced him to think and struggle all the time. As long as he stopped for a moment, he would feel that the crisis hidden in the darkness was opening its bloody mouth and swallowing it little by little.

"Make the ......"

A slender figure appeared in Qin Jin's sight.

Because the sky was dark, although he couldn't see the face of the person who came, Qin Jin still knew that this was a woman, and the only woman in the army who took in was no one else except her.
