"Yuan County, Xia County victory?"

When Qin Jin first heard the report, he was unable to come back to his senses in a short period of time, how could the army have not yet started to win a great victory? Or did Huangfu Ke take the initiative to defeat the local rebels with his own strength?

Even Lu Qi and Pei Jing, who were beside Qin Jin, were shocked, thinking that there had been a vicious battle that they didn't know about, and among the many hypothetical possibilities, they naturally thought that the possibility of Huangfu Ke sending troops was a little more reliable.

After a long time of discussion and speculation, Qin Jincai slapped the military newspaper in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't guess, just take it apart and see!" After speaking, he did not open it himself, but threw it to Pei Jing with a wave of his hand. "Take it apart and read it out in public!"

Pei Jing was agile, he caught the military newspaper that was suddenly thrown over, and opened it in three or two clicks, but after taking a look, his eyes were even more confused, and he even turned the parchment up and down left and right to look at it.

"Pei Er, what's the grind?

Only then did Pei Jing retract his gaze and look at Qin Jin.

"This, shouldn't someone be mischievous to the envoy?"

Lu Qi was inexplicably excited, and snatched the military newspaper in Pei Jing's hand.

"Who is so bold as to dare to do evil to the king......

His words came to an abrupt end as his gaze fell on the military report. Now Qin Jin is confused, and with Pei Jing's temperament, he will definitely not joke and talk nonsense in front of him. Even Lu Qi's reaction was the same as Pei Jing's, could it be that what horrific content was really written in the military newspaper?

Qin Jinsan came to Lu Qi in two steps, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the military report thrown out of his hand returned to his hand, but he saw that there were only a few lines on the parchment.

The cavalry of the Shenwu Army is Qin Yan and led 400 united soldiers to conquer Fuyuan County......

This, how is this possible?

Not only did Qin Yan not die, but he actually conquered Yuan County with four hundred people. Originally, it was a happy thing to learn that Qin Gou'er was not dead, but the military report associated with it made him uncertain. Four hundred people conquered the heavily guarded Yuan County, I'm afraid that even Sun Wu and Wei Huo Fusheng don't have this ability.

However, there are only a few words in this kind of military newspaper, and the reasons and detailed processes are not mentioned, which shows that the military newspaper was sent to Jinju in an extremely hasty manner, and perhaps the person who sent the military newspaper at that time did not know the inside story, or there was something unknown to the public......

It can be identified from the seal that the military newspaper is from Huang Fu Ke's Chinese army, that is, it is very likely that it was passed through the hands of Huang Fu Ke. However, Huang Fuke is a cautious and careful person, how could he send such a military report with no beginning or end like this?

Or, as Lu Qi Pei Jing and others say, this military newspaper is nothing more than a prank by some people on the pretext of some convenience?

No matter what the real situation was, after Qin Jin stabilized his mind, he immediately exchanged for his confidants and handed over the military report in his hand.

"Within ten hours, quickly go to find out the authenticity of the military report. ”

In fact, it didn't take more than ten hours for the details of the strange military report to surface.

Because the second military report sent by Huangfu Ke on the same day also arrived.

This time, no one questioned the authenticity of the military report, Qin Yan's was indeed alive, and Yuanxian County was indeed captured by him with 400 united soldiers...... The only thing that everyone didn't expect was that Yuan County and Xia County had long become an empty city, and it was no longer difficult to attack them with 400 people. With the recovery of Yuan County, Xia County also took the initiative to change its flag and return to the Tang Dynasty half a day later. As for where the heavy troops originally stationed here went, and why it suddenly became an empty city, even Huangfu Ke was inexplicable and didn't know why.

"How is that possible, how can it be an empty city?"

Qin Jin actually asked two questions in public, and all the main forces of the Shenwu Army were preparing to go south, and the only target was the heavy rebel troops stationed in Yuan County and Xia County. The meticulous preparations were all in vain now, and the two cities were taken back almost bloodlessly, and it stands to reason that he should be happy, but his mood is even heavier.

"This Qin Gou'er is worthy of being a slave of the Jun family, and he can conquer the two counties with 400 people, but we are ready to take 30,000 Shenwu troops and 50,000 Shuofang troops to pounce......"

Even after Lu Qi and Pei Jing were glad that they had recovered the two cities of Yuan County and Xia County without bloodshed, their expressions were unnatural, and they didn't seem to be as happy as they showed in their words.

Qin Jin sat for a while, and then dismissed everyone, he planned to make a good calculation alone, what went wrong, and where his worries were.

Lu Qi left the office, and then turned around and grabbed Pei Jing, who was about to get on the horse and leave.

"Pei Er, don't you think we can't help but laugh?"

After being pulled, Pei Jing also sighed and responded:

"What Shiro said, it is also what I am worried about, it stands to reason that it is a great joy for the soldiers of the two counties to join the Tang Dynasty without blood, but, but this heart is not happy, and it is strange and ......."

After hearing this, Lu Qi tightened Pei Jing's sleeve.

"It's not strange, it's because it's abnormal, and there must be a demon in the abnormal...... If it's really an inexplicable celebration of congratulations, then you and I are complete fools......"

Pei Jing nodded and said:

"But where should I worry about this strangeness......

Without even finishing a sentence, Pei Jing suddenly pulled Lu Qi back into the office.

Lu Qiqi said:

"Why did Pei Er return in a hurry?"

Pei Jing didn't look back, his feet were flying, and he replied:

"It's also strange that this thing is strange, and it has been covered for a while, isn't the strange thing disappearing, where did the rebel army go?"

Just when Lu Qi and Pei Jing returned to the hall together, Qin Jin had already figured out the strangeness and danger of the bloodless soldiers of Yuan County and Xia County.

"Envoy, it is imperative to find out where the 30,000 rebels have gone?"

You must know that the 30,000 elite rebels under Sun Xiaozhe are enough to be worthy of 100,000 Tang troops.

At this time, Qin Jin had already made a decision, and immediately said:

"The two of you immediately return to the camp to reorganize your army and be ready at any time. I will leave for Yuan and Xia counties overnight, and at the latest at noon tomorrow, there will be an order to transfer troops back to Jin and Jiang. ”

Most of the main forces of the Shenwu Army were stationed in Jinju and Jiangzhou, and the round-trip to Xia County and Yuanxian County exceeded 500 miles, which was already the limit of the speed of information transmission in one day.

Seeing that Qin Jin had made such a quick decision, the two of them knew that he already had an idea and a plan, and their mood immediately settled down a lot, and after a simple exchange of ideas with Qin Jin, they each returned to the barracks. Lu Qi's front army was stationed in Jinju, while Pei Jing's central army was in the eastern part of Jiangzhou, and the rear army was in the western part of Jiangzhou.

Wuhu Huaizhong returned to Jinzhou from Zezhou as early as three days ago, and after receiving the military order from Qin and Jin to leave immediately, it only took a lot of hours to complete the preparation, and he was ready to set off at any time.

It was not easier for the 5,000 cavalry to reach Yuan County and Xia County all the way south than the infantry, because Hedong Road was already mountainous, and Yuan County and Xia County were located south of Wangwu Mountain.

Therefore, the conventional route should be to take Yi County and detour to Anyi before you can transfer to Xia County.

Such a difficult road is also the fundamental reason why Sun Xiaozhe stationed troops in Yuan and Xia counties, but he was able to be monitored and deterred by the Shuofang army in Anyi.

After entering Jiangzhou and passing Zhengping, Qin Jin met an uninvited guest, Yang Xingben, who had recovered from his serious injuries.

Yang Xingben had been ordered by Yang Guozhong a few months ago to secretly send an envoy to the Yan army camp, and when he returned, his identity was revealed and he was sniped by the Tang army in Tongguan, and most of the troops were killed and wounded.

He recovered from his injuries at this time and came to look for Qin Jin, and it was precisely when he heard the news that the Shenwu Army was massing and preparing to go south, so he went north desperately. He missed the battle of Hedong City and the battle of Jiangzhou, and seeing that the entire Shenwu army was mobilized, the scale would inevitably be better than the previous two wars, so he naturally refused to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity again.

In fact, Qin Jin had already reserved a position for Yang Xingben, and the chief general of the rear army of the Shenwu Army was previously in charge of Pei Jing, and now Pei Jing has become the chief general of the Chinese army, and the vacant position of the rear army is naturally none other than Yang Xingben.

After meeting Yang Xingben, Qin Jin suddenly changed his mind, and did not plan to make a detour from Yi County and Anyi, but directly trekked from the Meiliang River across Wangwu Mountain to Xia County. Before sunset, the group arrived at the destination of the trip.

In Xia County, Qin Jin not only saw Huangfu Ke, who he hadn't seen for several months, but also saw Qin Yan, who was alive and well.

Qin Yan wanted to ask for merit and reward before seeing Qin Jin, but when he really met, he couldn't help crying.

"Lord...... The dog thought he would never see the lord again......"

In addition to praising Qin Yan's bravery, Huangfu Ke also invited him to join the army to speak without smiling, which seemed to be preoccupied.

Qin Jin saw that the old man had something on his mind, so he asked, "Can you find out where the rebels are?"

Huang Fu Ke's voice was quite heavy, and his hand was twisting his gray beard.

"Ashamed, ashamed. In order not to irritate the swallow dog too much, the old man strictly ordered the spies not to cross the line, but unexpectedly, he was exploited ......"

Qin Jin went hand in hand with him, and he didn't say a word of reproach, he was waiting quietly, waiting for Huangfu Ke to say the news that really worried him.

After entering the barracks, Huangfu Ke approached Qin Jin, lowered his voice, and said almost tremblingly:

"The old man sent spies to the Yellow River last night to inquire about the traces of the rebels, but he unexpectedly found that some defeated Tang troops were swimming south of the Yellow River. The old man personally asked a few leaders, and some people said that Gao Xianggong was conspired by Sun Xiaozhe in Lingbao and was defeated......"

In the end, Huang Fuke's voice was so hoarse because of the trembling that it was almost unrecognizable.

However, Qin Jin still heard it clearly, and suddenly the war horse shook suddenly, and his body shook violently, but fortunately, Huangfu Ke grabbed his robe with his hand, so he did not fall under the horse.

"The news has not yet been confirmed, and now it is just rumors from the mouths of the defeated soldiers, not necessarily, not necessarily ......"

Huangfu Ke persuaded casually, but he obviously lacked confidence.
