Chapter 502: The Doctor Wants to Offer a Proposal
Li Heng personally urged the Imperial City Guards to gather and send troops, but the embarrassing thing was that these Imperial City Guards could not even complete the action of ordering 3,000 people, and the organizational efficiency was extremely low, and the face of the Son of Heaven who was originally standing at the Xuanwu Gate inspection point was extremely ugly.

He really couldn't imagine that the forbidden army in charge of guarding the imperial city was so incompetent, could he expect this kind of army to go to the battlefield and fight the rebels?
Looking up at the sky, the sun was already setting in the west, and it was about to get dark, and the three thousand forbidden troops were unable to leave the imperial city, which made Li Heng feel both powerless and angry.
Li Mi saw that Li Heng's mood was wrong, so he said:
"These guards are all rushed troops, and the remnants of the original sixteen guards are also gathered, the training days are short, and some problems are inevitable, it is better to circle the approximate number and send the generals out!"
Such a suggestion, of course, is a stopgap measure. But after Li Heng was discouraged, he lost hope in these forbidden troops.
"Forget it, let them all go to you! these people are sent, and they will only cause chaos for the Imperial Doctor!"
"Yes, the minister knows!"
Actually, this is what Li Mi wants to say, but after being tactfully reprimanded by Li Heng just now, it is difficult for him to speak freely in front of Li Heng as before.
Li Fuguo behaved himself at the right time.
"The saint doesn't need to worry, the slave maid thinks that the rebels can't attack for a long time, and they will naturally withdraw their troops when it gets dark. ā
"Oh?"
In this regard, Li Heng was quite surprised.
"Can't the rebels storm the city all night?"
Previously, there were examples of rebels attacking cities at night, such as the night when Qin Jin returned to Chang'an from outside the city.
However, the reason why Li Fuguo dared to pack the ticket in front of Li Heng was because he gambled sideways, and secondly, because he relied on his understanding of military affairs.
Under the suspicion of the general, Li Heng was prepared for the worst, and once the outer city was not safe, he would rely on the imperial city for the last resistance.
But after dark, the exciting news came that the rebels had all been driven out of Chang'an City.
After receiving the report, Li Heng was greatly excited, but he didn't see Qin Jin coming in person, thinking that he was making a mood because of rumors and conspiracy.
If in the past, someone would definitely jump out and count Qin Jin's faux pas and nos, but now, several cronies around Li Heng were silent, and no one spoke.
Soon, news was sent to the Taiji Palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I just got the latest military report, and the Imperial Doctor was wounded by seven swords, and he fainted from exhaustion. ā
When he landed, Li Heng felt that he had the heart of a villain, and he secretly felt a little embarrassed and sorry. Regardless of his physical illness, Qin Jin set an example, boosted morale, and kept Chang'an under the strong attack of the rebels, but he was inferior to him in the Taiji Palace.
"Send the best wound doctor over...... No, I went over and watched the wounded doctor treat the Imperial Doctor!"
The eunuch who reported the news said:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, although the Imperial Doctor has suffered seven sword wounds, none of them will be fatal!"
Even if it wasn't fatal, Li Heng couldn't wait to see Qin Jin, and hurried to the military camp with Li Mi and Li Fuguo.
Just like the previous time, Li Heng was stopped outside the Chinese military camp of the Shenwu Army again, and after some twists and turns again, he entered the Chinese military barracks.
When Qin Jin heard that the Son of Heaven was visiting in person, he was also a little surprised, according to the usual practice, it was usually after the war, and he was summoned to the palace for consultation. Today, the Son of Heaven personally visited, it must not be as simple as being injured, he quickly figured it out, this may be a sign of apology for Li Heng after the conspiracy against himself and the Shenwu Army collapsed.
To be honest, after more than a month of getting along, Qin Jin's old impression of Li Heng has changed greatly, and it is also very good. Previously, he had always thought that Li Heng was a cowardly and forbearant person, but since then he has found that Li Heng is indeed good at forbearance, but he is by no means a cowardly person, on the contrary, under his cowardly surface, he has a heart as hard as iron. And what is even more rare is that Li Heng is kind-hearted and often full of kindness and care for his subordinates.
All in all, Li Heng and his father Li Longji have very different personalities and styles.
Qin Jin's sores were mainly on his chest and arms, but they were all limited to the category of flesh wounds, and they did not hurt his muscles and bones, which was all thanks to the merits of leather armor, which suffered most of the injuries for him.
"Minister Qin Jin greets His Majesty the Emperor!"
Qin Jin greeted him out of the gate, and Li Heng took the first step to stop him from bowing down.
"There is only a military salute in the barracks, Qin Qing is injured, this salute can also be waived!"
Seeing that Qin Jin's movements were not too restricted, although the linen cloth used to bandage the wound was dark red with blood, it only looked terrifying. Qin Jin patted his chest and said:
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this little injury is nothing, it's just that some of the body is weak from chickenpox!"
Seeing this, Li Heng smiled and said:
"I also had chickenpox when I was a teenager, it was really uncomfortable, fortunately it wasn't a sore, I was very happy!"
This sentence comes from his sincerity, and he is embarrassed when he talks about it.
welcomed Li Heng into the marshal hall of the Chinese army, and the cadres sat down, talking about today's battle to defend the city, they all had palpitations.
Neither the people who participated in the battle on the city walls nor the princes and ministers in the imperial city were not prepared for the worst.
Li Heng and Li Mi did not say anything, but Li Fuguo used his most direct feelings to describe the tense atmosphere in the Imperial City and the Taiji Palace.
"Imperial Doctor may not know that at that time, His Majesty had ordered all the guards guarding the Imperial City to climb the Imperial City and the walls of the Imperial City, and in case of the worst outcome, they would ......."
Speaking of these, Li Fuguo was very afraid, although he didn't feel anything at the time, but now when he says it, he always feels a little unlucky, after all, they are still under siege and have not yet been out of danger, so they just started and kept silent.
Li Midao:
"Fortunately, God blessed my Datang, and the Imperial Doctor repelled the traitor!"
Everyone's words for you and for me are extremely embarrassing.
In the end, Li Heng personally broke through the layer of window paper and sighed:
"When will this siege end?"
His question is also a question buried in the bottom of everyone's hearts, there are 200,000 Anshi rebels, first break through Tongguan and then besiege Chang'an, for more than a month, there is no Qinwang army in the world to arrive in Chang'an, and even the Shuofang army closest to them was beaten by the Anshi rebels in martial arts.
With such internal and external pressure, where is the future and hope of Chang'an City?
Qin Jin felt that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, and today was also considered to be ripe, so it was better to put out the plan and inventory.
However, he didn't intend to mention it in front of everyone, after all, secrecy is the first priority, who knows if Li Mi or Li Fuguo, or even the rest of the officials who came with Li Heng, will anyone leak the secret?
"Your Majesty, please go to the back study with the minister, the minister has something to say!"
Li Henggang wanted to tell Qin Jin, but it didn't matter, these courtiers were trustworthy, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind, and Qin Jin asked to play it alone, it must be because he didn't want people to hear it.
And Qin Jin's request to play the right game alone also made Li Mi and Li Fuguo have their own tastes in their hearts.
Li Mi felt that Qin Jin was on guard against himself, while Li Fuguo thought that Qin Jin must have known the inside story and mastermind of the rumored incident, and maybe he was planning to let the Son of Heaven breathe a sigh of relief for him.
In fact, including Li Heng, they all have this idea more or less in their hearts.
However, after arriving at the study, Li Heng found that he was thinking too much.
"Your Majesty, the minister has already planned a counteroffensive plan, as long as it succeeds, not only can the siege of Chang'an be solved, Tongguan can be recovered, and even Sun Xiaozhe's 200,000 troops are also in the pocket of my Tang army."
Hearing this, Li Heng was really taken aback, and even looked at Qin Jin in disbelief, if he didn't know Qin Jin's personality, he really thought it was nonsense. But the person who said this was indeed Qin Jin, and since Qin Jin could say it, he would at least be seventy or eighty percent sure.
As a result, Li Heng's eyes gave birth to a raging fire of hope, so that he couldn't help trembling with excitement.
"Qin Qing, isn't this a joke?"
Qin Jin met Li Heng's puzzled gaze and replied categorically:
"Although the minister is not 100% sure, he has indeed considered a feasible plan, but he is still in preparation before, and it is inevitable that there will be many changes, so he has never mentioned it, and telling His Majesty today is also a forgiving heart!"
Li Heng's voice was low and full of irrepressible excitement.
"How sure is Qin Qing there?"
Qin Jin thought for a moment, stretched out his right hand, and spread his five fingers.
Li Heng was stunned when he saw this, and then said:
"Fifty percent is fine, half of the winners and half of the losers!"
Qin Jin knew that Li Heng was a little disappointed in Wucheng's grasp, but he couldn't make too many guarantees, maybe Wucheng was overestimated, so he told him openly.
"There are too many factors that can affect the affairs of the battle formation, and any insignificant little thing may cause immeasurable or unexpected consequences, but the minister will definitely do his best to ......"
"I know that soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and victory or defeat is certain! Although Qin Qing lets it go, I am your most solid backing here!"
Regarding Li Heng's promise, Qin Jin was also a little slanderous.
Shouldn't the so-called solid backing sweep away all the troubles and obstacles in the rear for him? But look at the changes in the past few days, starting from Princess Shou'an's sores to Chen Xilie's rumors and troubles, that incident Li Heng did not show hindsight, and even treated Chen Xilie and Li Mi differently.
But this kind of conspiracy, Qin Jin is not willing to pursue more, after all, the most important thing at the moment is to fight back externally, and he and the Shenwu Army have not caused substantial harm, he only hopes that Li Heng can trust him, and this is enough.
At such times, there is nothing more precious than the trust of the Son of Heaven.
"Qin Qing tell me quickly, what plans and schemes can reverse the decline of the imperial court?"
Li Heng was very eager to know what Qin Jin's plan was. After a period of surprise, skepticism, and a small disappointment, he was already a little impatient.
