Ding Jian held the pen, frowned and looked at a file in front of him, without raising his head, and shouted, "Fang Cheng." ”

There was silence, and no one answered.

"Fang Cheng!" Ding Jian raised his voice, already slightly angry.

"Assassin Shi, Fang Cheng him, he was taken away this morning." A cautious voice came.

Ding Jian raised his head, looked at the somewhat panicked face of a scribe in front of the case, and suddenly sobered up. Yes, Fang Cheng, that young, very capable official, because he was a member of the Fang family, and he was a member of the direct family, he was arrested by the internal guards early this morning.

In fact, since this morning, many people in his assassin's mansion have been arrested by internal guards.

These people are afraid that they will never be seen again.

Regardless of whether they have done evil or not, whether they are Fang Zhen's accomplices or not, whether they have intervened in this rebellion or not, they will undoubtedly be implicated. A direct relative of the Fang clan like Fang Cheng is afraid that there is absolutely no reason to live.

Throwing the pen heavily on the big case, Ding Jian stroked his forehead and sighed.

"Thorn History, Thorn History!" The clerk of the case called out in a low voice.

Ding Jian raised his head from the depression: "What's your name?" ”

"The subordinate is called Liu Dacheng."

"Well, Liu Dacheng, Fang Cheng's affairs will be taken over by you in the future! Since you can still stand in front of me at this time, you think you are innocent. Ding Jian picked up the pen, reviewed the file in front of him, and handed it to Liu Dacheng: "Take it, supervise it personally." ”

"Thank you Thorn, thank you!" Liu Dacheng, who is just an ordinary scribe, never imagined that such a big pie would fall from the sky and hit his head today. "The subordinates will definitely do their best to do a good job."

Ding Jian waved his hand, Liu Dacheng held the case file, and went out happily.

Tian Bo and Liu Dacheng passed by, and Tian Bo, who walked into the lobby, had a strong smell of blood on his body.

"The history of Ding Thorn, in the city, has been basically cleared." Tian Bo said: "The mansions and shops of these rebel families led by the Fang family in the city have all been seized, and the next thing is your assassin." The wealth of the Fang family, the abundance of the treasury in the family, I am afraid that it will surprise you, the assassin, I bet that it is definitely more sufficient than your treasury. ”

"How many people died?" Ding Jian asked.

Tian Bo pursed his lips: "If you count the rebels who died outside the city early in the morning, then the total number should exceed 10,000." ”

Ding Jian shuddered, tens of thousands of lives! Even if it's a big war, there are only so many dead people, right?

"How did you kill so many people?" Ding Jian was slightly angry.

"If you don't clean it up, how do you start the next work?" Tian Bo said lightly: "There will still be dead people, the internal guard army and Li Bo's military horses have already begun to go to the place, next, there should be more people who will be arrested, the damned people will naturally not live, and the people who don't deserve to die will never be killed in vain." ”

"There are too many people who have been killed, and many people can actually be transformed." Ding Jian sighed.

Tian Bo glanced at Ding Jian and said: "Ding Thorn History, some people can't be transformed, this is your life-and-death struggle, Li Xiang gave you enough time, but what is the result, you know in your heart that since you can't solve the problem in the river, then you can only use our methods to solve it." ”

"Is it just a knife? Are you sure there are no unjust souls under the knife? Ding Jian stood up.

"There are no dead ghosts in that temple!" Tian Bo said indifferently: "Ding Tingshi, do you think that under the current situation, I have time to distinguish who is wronged?" As long as there is suspicion, then you can only cut through the mess quickly. Not only do I have no time, but you also don't have time. Spring ploughing is about to begin, Ansui, the war in Hedong is unfolding, how can we be tied up by these things, quickly deal with these things, we have to turn our attention to Hedong, Ansui, over there, is the big thing. ”

Ding Jian sat down dejectedly.

"Ding Tingshi, I also know very well that our decisive handling of the affairs in the river will bring you some trouble in the future, but there is no way to do it, so I can only ask you to bear it more. Li Xiang's side, I think I will also give you some support. Tian Bodao.

Ding Jian nodded: "Li Xiang's letter has arrived, twenty Jinshi who took the test last year will be sent to the river to serve as officials, and at the same time, Yang Kai has also organized a thousand backbones of the Xingshe to enter the river. ”

"The river borders on the pseudo-Liang, the pseudo-Liang failed this time, and will definitely not engage in the east and the west in the future, Ding Thorn History, only let the river become Zhenzhou, Zhaozhou, Wuyi and other places, will the pseudo-Liang return in vain, and can even set a benchmark for the pseudo-Liang, let the people of the pseudo-Liang take a look, what is the fate of the pseudo-Liang, and what is the situation of allegiance to the Tang Dynasty? With your abilities, I am confident that the river will soon rise in earnest. ”

"I'll borrow your good words!" Ding Jian waved his hand, "Does Commander Tian have anything else to do?" ”

"I'm just here to inform Ding Tingshi, and next, I'm going to go down too. After dealing with this matter as soon as possible, I still have to go to Hedong. ”

"If you can kill less, you can kill less!" Ding Jian hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The head is not a leek, if you cut it, it won't grow." ”

Tian Bo paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Since Ding Tingshi said so, I will tell the following to pay attention to it." ”

"Thank you!" Ding Jian arched his hand and said.

At the head of Yinzhou City, Han Qi witnessed the endless camp of Tubo in the distance, his brows were furrowed, countless people of Yinzhou were captured by the Tubo people, and an earthen wall was being built about a height of more than a zhang, and now this wall is about to enclose Yinzhou.

He is now in a terrible predicament.

At the beginning, he didn't expect that the Tubo general Raza would give up Suizhou and rush to Yinzhou with an army of 100,000, which made Li Cunzhong's deployment to Suizhou a failure, but what Han Qi didn't expect was that when Li Cunzhong learned that he was trapped in Yinzhou, he actually gave up the earlier deployment and led his troops to Yinzhou.

After Han Qi learned the news, he jumped up on the spot and scolded Li Cunzhong for being a bastard.

Sure enough, as he expected, Li Cunzhong, who hurriedly turned back to save Han Qi, was ambushed by Laza, and now the army is trapped in Fulin, although it is not far from Yinzhou City, but it is the same as Yinzhou, surrounded by regiments. More importantly, Raza is now focusing on attacking Li Cunzhong in Fuyuan.

Fuyuan is not like Yinzhou City, which has strong fortifications, it is a dilapidated small county town. Therefore, Li Cunzhong's life was extremely difficult.

The attacks were all beaten back by the Tubo people, making Han Qi understand that it was not so easy to easily break through the encirclement of the Tubo people.

"Marshal Jie, give me a soldier and horse, we will work harder, we must take General Li's soldiers and horses to Yinzhou, otherwise it will be difficult for the general to withstand the attack of so many Tubo people in Fuyuan." Han Rui said.

"The previous assaults have been very clear, Raza has arranged many obstacles between Yinzhou City and Fuyuan, and he is now wishing that we would rescue Fuyuan one by one! If you go out for a share, you will die for a share, and this kind of refueling tactic is absolutely unacceptable. ”

"Then we will give up Yinzhou and break through with the whole army!" Han Rui said with red eyes: "At the same time, General Li also went to Yinzhou from Fuyuan, and our two armies can be in one place, and we can always retreat to Hedong." Now Hedong has become like this, and we need to go back. ”

Han Qi glanced at Han Rui and asked lightly: "Retreat all the way, and then be bitten and beaten by Raza all the way, how many people will die before they can return to Hedong?" How many more people are there back in Hedong? ”

"At least we still have Hedong!" Han Rui said in a low voice. "Although Xue Jun was defeated in Hedong, he finally held Taiyuan City."

Han Qi smiled to himself: "You are too naïve." If we really give up Yinzhou like this, a group of remnants of the army will return to Hedong, and there will really be nothing left. Why do you think Delhi China went to Hedong? He was forced into it by Zhang Jia. If my expectations are correct, at this time, Li Xiang's army is afraid that it is about to enter Hedong. As soon as his army entered Hedong, where would there be a way to survive in Delhi Chinan? ”

After a pause, Han Qi said again: "In the same way, if we return to Hedong like this, what is the way to live?" The defeat of the army requires someone to be responsible, this person, besides me and Cunzhong, will there be anyone else? ”

"Li Xiang, this is deliberately framed!" Han Rui said angrily.

Han Qi was very calm.

"That's politics! Willing to lose! I didn't have him to see far, I could calculate clearly, and I didn't have his careful arrangement, I thought that the Tubo people were tired of long-distance raids and could win in one battle, but on top of the facts, we underestimated the Tubo people's determination to fight this time, and we didn't expect that the other party's strategy was like this. ”

Han Rui was shocked: "Jie Shuai, are you ready to give up Hedong?" ”

"It's not that I want to give up, but at this time, Hedong no longer belongs to me." Han Qi shook his head and said; "Now I'm thinking about how I can get some more benefits for us in this war."

"How? Now we're stuck here. Han Rui said with some pain.

"We are indeed trapped here, but in the same way, Laza's 100,000 army is also pinned down by us!" Han Qi took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid that Raza didn't expect that our combat effectiveness and will to fight are so tenacious, and until now, he has neither defeated Yinzhou nor Fuyuan. ”

"You want to?"

Han Qi was silent for a moment and said, "Send someone out to report to Li Cunzhong, tell him, don't try to break through, don't try to get closer to me, just stick to Fuyuan." With each additional day, victory will be one step closer to us. ”

"Are you waiting for Li Ze to come to the rescue? I'm afraid he wants us to die! Han Rui said.

"Li Ze is not here to rescue us, at this time, he should be planning how to keep Laza's 100,000 troops in Yinzhou." Han Qi said. "Talking in the northeast, fighting in the northwest, this battle, don't let Tubo hurt some vitality, how can Li Ze rest assured that he will raise the army to the south! Since we are the bait, let's take care of this bait, when it comes to the end, there is no credit, and there is hard work after all! Even if Hedong is gone, Zuo Wuwei is always still in our hands! ”
