In Mishui County in the west of Zezhou, Cai Xide, the general of the Yan Army, was here with his troops in full swing, and always aimed at Jiangzhou in the west of Zezhou. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoHe suffered a loss in Zezhou because of carelessness, so he had to retreat to Zezhou. In Shi Siming's plan to attack Hedong, Jiangzhou is the top priority, and if you get here, you can cut off the contact between the northern capital Taiyuan and Guanzhong in one fell swoop. Although the Yan army encountered Feng Changqing's counterattack in Hebei Province, his lone army was unable to penetrate deeply, and it was bound to be difficult to last.

Therefore, although Shi Siming was often overstretched in the face of Feng Changqing in Hebei Province, he still refused to give up Hedong Road, and Cai Xide's 30,000 people must be firmly fixed in the throat like a nail.

Now that Cai Xide has lost Jiangzhou, the anxiety in his heart can be imagined. However, for Cai Xide, who has always been tough, this anxiety will only turn into the motivation that spurs him from time to time, and his low combat effectiveness has been exposed in the battle of Wanquan Mountain in Jiangzhou.

"General, signs of ** cavalry have been found in Jinju. ”

Cai Xide stood on top of the city at this time, looking at the west with his hands in his hands, and standing behind him was the deputy general Min Guangjie.

"Can you probe carefully? Isn't it a ** ranger probe?"

Min Guangjie replied affirmatively: "The scale of the cavalry is at least about 1,000 people, and it will never be a ranger, as for how many people will be in the future, we need to find out further." ”

Hearing this, Cai Xide struck with both palms, and there was a little excitement in his voice.

"This is a good start, as long as Qin Jin transfers his men and horses to Jinzhou, Jiangzhou will have already recaptured half of it!"

Min Guangjie said with some worry: "I heard that Qin Jin is as cunning as a fox, and even Sun Xiaozhe has been planted in his hands, I'm afraid this thief is not easy to deal with!"

"Sun Xiaozhe, it's just a woman, what real skills does he have? It's just that he crawled up on a woman's belly......"

Cai Xide said contempt, but his brows still frowned involuntarily, it was obvious that he didn't think so. Sun Xiaozhe is true that he used his mother to be a concubine for An Lushan to get the convenience of being envied by others, but he himself does have something extraordinary, otherwise, with An Lushan's temperament, how could he put the mud that can't support the wall in such an important position?

Many people in the Yan army knew that Sun Xiaozhe was a person who was made up of himself, but when he was mentioned, they kept saying "a woman", and the contempt in it was only afraid that it was far lower than the sourness in his heart, including Cai Xide, who was not exempt from vulgarity.

Min Guangjie's words reminded Cai Xide that he must not underestimate this Qin Jin, who suddenly became famous, he was able to jump from a small Xin'an county official to a county magistrate in a year, and he must have his merits, although the son of heaven sitting in the Xingqing Palace is old, but he is not so stupid that he can promote officials at will.

Moreover, if Qin Jin did not have any merits, and he Cai Xide suffered losses in Jiangzhou? Can all the reasons be attributed to carelessness and underestimation of the enemy? Obviously, no.

"Mobilize troops, make a feint to Jinzhou, and lure the attention of the Qin and Jin Shenwu Army!"

Min Guangjie was puzzled: "In this way, in this way, what if Qin Jin is scared away?"

Cai Xide pursed his lips and smiled: "No, let Qin Jin taste the sweetness first, the first suspicious soldiers deliberately defeated them a few times, which will naturally arouse their strong desire to win!"

"The general is wise!"

Cai Xide scolded with a smile: "Don't be a sycophant, hurry up and get down to business, if you have a little delay, I won't ask you if I don't take you!"

After being reprimanded by Cai Xide, although Min Guangjie was not serious, he still shrank his neck and bowed to retire.

……

Jiangxian County, from north to south, a gallop to the horse.

"Urgent military report, urgent military report!"

The guards guarding the city gate saw the banner planted behind the knight from a distance, and hurriedly removed the obstacles blocking the way into the city. Kankan cleared the obstacles, and the war horse galloped past, and the sand and stones brought up scraped on the face of the gatekeeper, and he felt a burst of pain.

The knight who reported the news was sent back by Wuhu Huaizhong from Jinzhou, and when Qin Jin was dealing with official business, he suddenly heard the report, and his heart inevitably twitched violently twice.

"Quick, bring me to me!"

He threw down all the work at hand and immediately met with the person sent back by Wuhu Huaizhong to report the news.

"Envoy, the previous intelligence was wrong, and it was not a small group of rebels found in Jinju, but more than 10,000 people!"

When there are more than 10,000 enemy soldiers and horses in a certain place, it means that their main force must be nearby. Based on the situation that Cai Xide fought alone in Hedong Province, and with Qin Jin's previous speculation, it was inevitable that the troops would not be divided. And now that 10,000 rebels have been found in Jinju, it will definitely not bode well.

Qin Jin fell into deep thought, this was far from what he had expected, although Jinzhou was rich, it was not a dangerous place, on the contrary, it was the land of the four wars, Cai Xide went north to seize Jinzhou, isn't it self-tied?

Thinking of this, he looked at the soldier who was reporting and asked:

"Has Captain Ugo ever engaged the rebels?"

"Returning to the envoy, the captain of the Wuhu school said that the envoy had confessed that he would not encounter the rebels until he had to do so, so there has been no large-scale engagement so far, and only a lot of exploration horses have been killed along the way!"

Qin Jin nodded secretly, although this Wuhu Huaizhong looks rude, he is really a person who is rough and fine, he is never ambiguous when he should be brave, and he will not hesitate when he should hold his tail. He pondered for a while, and then explained: "Go back and tell Captain Wuhu that you can make a tentative attack when the time is right, if the rebels are too strong, you don't have to fall in love, if the rebels are weak, it doesn't hurt to annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Qin Jin always felt that Cai Xide's fiction and reality were difficult to guess, so it was better to bump into him first to find out his reality, if he was in the old department, everything would be as usual, if the result was the opposite, he had to prepare early.

After receiving Qin Jin's handwritten reply, he left Jiangxian County and galloped north to find the cavalry of the Tongluo Department to deliver a letter to Wuhu Huaizhong.

Qin Jin thought about it, and always felt that he didn't want to drag it out, so he recruited Huangfu Ke, Pei Jing and Chen Qianli. Now in the city, he relies on these three people the most, and Lu Qi is on his way to Tianjing Pass at this time.

He gave a succinct introduction to the situation in Jinju, then stopped talking and watched how the three of them reacted.

The first to speak was Huang Fu Ke, he felt that this matter was not so complicated, and he couldn't get rid of the troops to block the water and cover the earth, as long as he planned and then moved, there was nothing to worry about. Pei Jing thought that Jinju must not fall into the hands of Cai Xide, its land was rich and the population was large, and if the rebels were tossed for a while, the losses would be incalculable.

Among the three, only Chen Qianli didn't say a word, Qin Jin turned his head and asked, "What do you think of Brother Chen?"

Chen Qianli sighed: "Cai Xide has ill intentions, and I can't see through the reason for it for a while!"

Three people with three opinions, Qin Jin felt a headache, it seemed that he still had to make his own decision, and after a period of ideological struggle, he still chose to trust his intuition. Since Xin'an started the army, this kind of gambling is not a once, if God favors him, he will definitely open a good card.

On the same day, Du Qianyun rushed to ask to see Qin Jin, and as soon as he didn't see him, he congratulated him loudly. Qin Jin was inexplicably puzzled by Du Qianyun, so he held back the unhappiness in his heart and asked:

"Surprised, why not?"

Du Qianyun didn't care about Qin Jin's blame, but took a few steps forward, pretending to be mysterious: "It's the blessing of the envoy, the Qingxuzi of the Taiqing Palace of Laojun Mountain has come to Jiangzhou, and he wants to offer the fire to the envoy!"

Qin Jinping is most tired of the people around him to engage in some gods, Buddhas and ghosts, listening to Du Qianyun said that he has an old way, and what kind of recipe is he going to offer, he immediately got angry, he was forced by Cai Xide's army to be nervous, Du Qianyun actually wants to engage in these moths, and he wastes the army's heart in vain, what other good thing can he do?

"No, get out of town!"

Qin Jin's attitude was crisp and neat, and Du Qianyun was taken aback, but he still didn't give up.

"Qingxuzi is a master of Laojun Mountain, even if the emperor invites him, he may not be willing to move to Chang'an, and now he takes the initiative to see the envoy, doesn't it mean that the envoy has heavenly help?"

This sentence reminded Qin Jin that if Qing Xuzi could play a role in boosting the morale of the army and making the soldiers believe in the destiny of heaven, it would be of some use, so he immediately changed his mind.

"In this way, let that old man live in the inn, and treat him with good wine and meat, as long as he does not beceive the public, he will be a guest!"

"Isn't the envoy gone?"

Qin Jin glared at Du Qianyun, "There are mountains of official documents, where can I have free time to see the old way of pretending to be a ghost?"

Du Qianyun pursed his lips and didn't dare to speak anymore, he had always heard that Qin Jin didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and now he finally saw it with his own eyes.

However, Qin Jin still underestimated the great influence of religious beliefs on the people of the time. Not to mention Du Qianyun, even Huangfu Ke, Pei Jing and others all felt that Qing Xuzi could come to the small city of Jiangxian County, not to mention the grand welcome, but also to pay enough attention. However, Qin Jin only settled people in the post house and there was no follow-up.

At this time, the people around Qin Jin have reached a consensus on this matter, that is, Qin Jin's decision has been wrong, although he does not believe in ghosts and gods, but Qingxuzi is a Taoist master, and he is a hermit who is not born in the world, and snubbing such an important person will be infamous in exchange.

Early the next morning, Qin Jin was still disposing of the mountains of official documents in the office, everything was in the grass, before the military affairs and camp affairs were on the right track, he must have to bother more, otherwise who would share it with him?

At this time, a burst of laughter came from outside the house, and Qin Jin knew that it was Huangfu Ke who had arrived without looking at it. But listening to the chaotic footsteps, there was more than one person who came with him.

"Qin envoy, look who the old man has invited! Don't hurry up and greet him!"

At the door, Huang Fu Ke's voice was already like a rumbling bell, Qin Jin wondered, could it be that Huang Fu Ke recommended talents for himself? He subconsciously put down the brush in his hand, got up and walked to the door, and after bypassing the screen, there were two people standing in front of him, one was strong and strong Huang Fu Ke, the other was skinny, white as snow, and the three strands of beard under his chin were also as white as snow.
