Chapter 52: Fu Qin's Deliberations

"Your name is Tu Qi, right? You're good, you're nice! It is really an honor for your general to have a subordinate like you! After staring at Tu Qi for a while, Hu Yanfu spoke.

"The general is overrated! I am just an ordinary soldier in the Huashan Army, and there are many people like me in the army! My general Li Xin, as well as several other generals, are all brave and invincible, and it is under their leadership that our Huashan Army is what it is today. When he came down, General Li once said that our Huashan Army and General Huyan are like close neighbors and have common enemies, and we should help each other! After the alliance is formed, the connection and channel between the Bacheng and the Huashan Army can be opened. If something happens to either side, the other can quickly support us, which is a good thing for us! Tu Qi shook his head and said modestly.

"Sit down! I have agreed to the alliance! The army of Fu Xiong is coming, and I have decided to defend the city to the death, but if I have the help of the Huashan army, the odds of victory will be greatly increased. However, there is still a Xinfeng County between you and me, and if we can't capture it, I'm afraid that it will cut off the connection between you and me! What do you think? Hu Yanfu said, one more friend is better than one more enemy, and he has already made a conclusion about the alliance from the beginning. After this conversation, his thoughts were even more firm, but there were still some worries in his heart.

"Xinfeng County is not a big problem, after all, since the incident of General Huyan, the pressure on Xinfeng County should be not small, I heard that in the past, it was only able to defend the city. Not to mention that after our Huashan Army captured Zheng County, the defense of Xinfeng County is now weak and vulnerable. In my opinion, the general might as well send a thousand troops to capture Xinfeng County and occupy the county seat, so as to prevent the Qin soldiers from crossing the river from the north and attacking you from the east of the city. In this way, the territory of our two sides will be connected, which will be beneficial to us! Hearing this, Tu Qi's heart couldn't help but move, and he quickly said.

When he came, Li Xin explained to him the problem of Xinfeng County. Obviously, he had already expected that Hu Yanyu should ask about this matter. Therefore, in this matter, Li Xin has already explained, Tu Qi admired it in his heart, and said the original words again.

"You have a point. However, I have always wondered, since your Huashan army has conquered Zheng County, why don't you take Xinfeng, which is close at hand? Hu Yanyu had his own thoughts and asked curiously.

"Don't hide it from the general, my General Li said that Xinfeng is at our fingertips for our Huashan Army, but it is too close to Bacheng County. If we occupy it, it will be too bad for the general to lose face, and it will also hurt the harmony between our two sides. In this case, how can an alliance be formed? We will abandon this Xinfeng and take it as a gift to the general, as a sign that we have formed an alliance and made friends. Tu Qi replied.

"I see! I understand your general's kindness! Well, I'll send you something later, and you can bring it back to your family, General Li Xin, as a token of our alliance this time. Tell your general, I will immediately send troops to capture Xinfeng, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will visit him in Huayin! Hu Yanfu nodded, and after thinking about it, he said.

There is nothing false in what he said, after all, if Hua Shanjun really hit such a close place, he was afraid that he would also be uneasy in his own heart. Isn't there a saying that the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly?

"Yes, I'll go back and tell my general!" Tu Qi arched his hand.

Immediately, Huyan poison sent someone to send him out of the house, but not long after, someone brought a few horses, seeing this scene, Tu Qi couldn't help but praise the other party for being too generous, and the gift was actually a few war horses. Such a valuable thing really surprised him. As for the contents of the box, he didn't know, but it looked like it was quite heavy.

"Tell your family, General Li, if I am in trouble in overpowering the city, please reach out and pull him!" Before leaving, Hu Yanfu said.

"Yes, I will definitely tell my general!" Tu Qi said, and then he turned around and left the city with people.

Hu Yanfu stood at the head of the city, watching Tu Qi's figure disappear.

"Master, is this gift too valuable? It's just a verbal alliance! The housekeeper of the Huyan family stood beside Huyan Poison and said with some pain.

"You don't understand! The army of Di Qin is back, and we will soon face the biggest crisis. Although the overlord city is strong, it is not unbreakable! These things are our gestures of goodwill, and they can be regarded as reserving a way out for us! What's more, if the city is broken, I don't want these things to fall into the hands of Di Qin! Huyan Poison smiled and said leisurely. The next moment, he had already put away his expression and began to send troops and horses, preparing to take Xinfeng County first.

Not to mention Tu Qi's return to Huayin to report to Li Xinyu, only to say that Chang'an at this time was finally much more stable. Just because the prime minister of Fu Qin and the king of Pingchang, Fu Jing, had already returned with a large army, and as soon as the army arrived, the imperial court in Chang'an City was naturally relieved.

The generals such as Fu Xiong and Fu Jing, who had just returned to the city and had not had time to disarm, immediately received an edict to enter the palace. I had to arrange the things in hand to the generals below, and hurried towards the palace.

This time, although it was not the time of the early dynasty, Fu Jian still specially gathered many ministers to discuss state affairs in the front hall of Taiji, in order to quell the rebellion.

"Prime Minister, you received the edict from before me, right? What do you think about counterinsurgency? As soon as the people arrived, Fu Jian asked by name.

Fu Xiong is Fu Jian's younger brother, brave and resourceful, and is the second person in the Fu Qin regime after Fu Jian. However, one of his sons is more famous than him, because his son is Fu Jian, who later became famous, and it was Fu Jian who brought the entire former Qin to the top. However, under the circumstances, Fu Xiong's speech was much heavier than his son's.

Originally, he was stationed in Longyou in order to deal with the threat of Liangzhou and Qiuchi in the west, but what he didn't expect was that he heard the news of the rebellion in Guanzhong halfway. At that time, he was thinking that the idea of the imperial court passing through Qinzhou in Longxi was probably going to be interrupted. Sure enough, soon the imperial court issued an edict asking him to return to Beijing with the elite to quell the rebellion.

Along the way, before he arrived in Chang'an, he received another holy decree, talking about countering the rebellion, and it was obvious that the matter had reached a very urgent point. He had no choice but to urge the army to speed up, and at the same time, he quickly understood the information of all parties, and he had been thinking for a long time along the way.

"Your Majesty, this rebellion in Guanzhong was all caused by the local clans, and they defended the city with great momentum. But in the minister's opinion, these people only know how to defend the city, but do not know how to enter, and there is not much of a threat. As long as it is handled properly, it can be broken one by one. Fu Xiong had already conceived, and said slowly at this time.

"The prime minister's words are reasonable! Now that the main force of our army has returned to the division, it is the time to dispatch troops to completely eliminate these rebels. As long as they are resolved, Guanzhong will be stable, and then our Great Qin will be as stable as Mount Tai! Taiwei Lei weaker stood up and said, obviously supporting Fu Xiong's idea.

"Prime Minister, tell me what you think! How do you break them all? Fu Jian nodded and asked.

"Yes, Yichen thinks about it, there are a lot of these thieves, but there are only a few of them. From the perspective of the overall situation, we must first eliminate the groups of anti-thieves around Chang'an. In this way, Chang'an will be in no danger, the world will be stable, and we can concentrate our efforts to gradually eliminate the anti-thieves in other places and wipe out this rebellion in one fell swoop! Fu Xiong played.

"Well, what the prime minister said is very agreeable. I ordered the prime minister to preside over this counterinsurgency, and now, the prime minister is in charge of everything. All princes, ministers, and generals must obey the dispatch and quell the rebellion as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people! Fu Jian groaned slightly, and then spoke.

"Your Ministers obey!" All the ministers bowed down to answer the way.

After the court meeting, Fu Xiong didn't even have time to go back to his home, and soon returned to the barracks. Not only him, but also other generals in the army, after all, everyone knew that the matter of counterinsurgency was urgent and could not be delayed any longer.

"Fu Jing, how is the investigation of those anti-thieves? Let's tell us more about it! Inside the big tent of the Chinese army, Fu Xiong rubbed his brows and asked.

Fu Jing is Fu Jian's nephew, although he is a young general, but in the regime of Di Qin, he is also a general, and since he led the army to fight, he has rarely failed. Moreover, it has made great contributions to Fu Jian's entry into the main pass, and he is even valued by Fu Jian. At this time, when he heard Fu Xiong's roll call, he hurriedly stood up.

"Yes, I've looked into it. The biggest anti-thieves around Chang'an are Chiyang Kong Zhi, Yongxian Qiao Bing, Liu Zhen and Xiahou Xian of Juxian County, Hu Yangchi of Sizhu, Huyan Poison of Bacheng, and the Huashan Army forces that occupy Huayin, Fuxi and Zheng County! These rebels add up to tens of thousands, and at the time of the incident, the imperial court had sent troops to pacify it, but they all failed and returned. Especially the Huashan Army, the Tongguan guard general Fu Yun and Yuzhou Thorn Shi Yang Qun have attacked twice, but not only did they not recapture Huayin City, but they lost as many as 10,000 people, and now even Fuxi County and Zheng County have been taken away by the Huashan Army! It's hateful! Fu Jing glanced at everyone and said.

Hearing this, the generals present immediately began to discuss, after all, although they had already known about the rebellion on the way back, they did not expect it to be so serious. Especially on the Huayin side, it seems that it is almost getting stronger and stronger, and the entire west of Tongguan is occupied by anti-thieves.

Thinking of this, and thinking of the safety of Tongguan, these generals couldn't help but be a little worried, and felt more and more that it was urgent to quell the rebellion.
