And in the rather magnificent town of Zhenzhou/Zhending Mansion (near Zhengding, Hebei). Compared with the cold and cold streets and towns, there are occasional scenes of people walking in a hurry; in the Zhaowang Bie Palace, which has not been renovated and expanded for a long time, Meiziyuan, it is a pair of bright lights even in the daytime, full of songs and crowds of friends. Feast scene.
Since the beginning of the winter when the mountains were closed by heavy snow and the war was suspended for the time being, Wang Rong Zhao, the lord of the eleven states of the Chengde Army (Hengji Town), has also been so busy that he can’t call the ground. It is a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days. In the first ten days, there will be extra entertainment and entertainment.
Therefore, for most of these days, he is not in the cataract bull cart or the cataract when he rushes between the palaces, in the mind of an unknown concubine, or the fine wine of the case like running water. The delicacy, the poems of praise and praise, and the passing and wasting away, so that in a short period of time, his cockroaches became thicker.
In other words, after the strict but exhaustive and controlling father Wang Jingchong, he designed and assisted him in the winter of last year to thoroughly cleanse and master the situation of becoming a German army; but he could not survive the summer heat and passed away; originally only Wang Rong, who was able to follow the rules in the shadow of his father's love, also inevitably gradually let go of himself.
Therefore, his first order was to drive and seal all the women who had been lucky enough to be in front of the father and king into the pre-prepared hills and tombs, thinking of serving them. Then he gathered all his half-brothers and sisters into the back house to concentrate on "teaching"; only a few decent-looking sisters were allowed to be nearby.
Then he ordered the governors, regiments, soldiers and horses, guards, and defensive officers of all states except Shangdang to come to Zhengding Prefecture to meet and receive inquiries; however, when the guards of these places came, he would drink. The banquet continued to win over and treat them one by one with mellow wine and beauties, and secretly sent cronies to lead troops to take over and replace their governing offices and positions.
Therefore, relying on such a trick of concealing the plank road, Wang Rong clarified the interior, and once again easily cleaned up, settled, and emptied. Except for a few individuals who have already sworn allegiance, most of the other old There are guards from other states; and they are provided as decorations with the Qinggui leisure duty.
Then, on the grounds of the rotation and rest of the troops, he transferred the senior generals in the upper party army and the surviving front to the Daozhen Dingfu together with the pro-family trilogy. In addition, he took advantage of the situation in front of the mourning hall where he routinely worshipped his father Wang Jingchong, both soft and hard to make him express his stance and pledge allegiance, surrender his military power and be transferred to another place as a defender.
Therefore, with the help and planning of Zhou Shi, the judge and confidant, Wang Rong's series of punches almost completely changed the situation of the huge Chengde army inside and outside, and began to be flooded with the new king era represented by Wang Rong. Features and personal touch.
Therefore, after solving the internal and external troubles, Wang Rong was able to put more energy and thoughts on the place of Shangdang, with the Heyang army occupying the southern Zezhou (now Shanxi Jincheng), and the northern Yizhou (now Shanxi Zuoquan). The Hedong/Jin army in the county) was in the midst of multilateral competition and chaos at the two ends; but then the situation took a turn for the worse.
First, before the autumn harvest, the Heyang Army seemed to be weak, and began to abandon many cities including the city of Zezhou (now Jincheng, Shanxi), and it was retreating to a corner of the southern end of Luzhou, close to Tianjingguan. The danger must be supported.
Immediately before the winter, the Hedong/Jin army also contracted sharply, while Liaoshan, Yushe, Pingcheng, and Heshun in Yizhou (now Zuoquan County, Shanxi) retreated all the way to Malingguan and stayed there; therefore, they were huge. In the blink of an eye, most of the three states of the Shangdang, the city, and the dangers of the key points have already been in the hands of the German army.
However, the good news is far more than that; not long after the truce between the parties in the winter, there was the leading general of the Hedong Army. Li Siyuan, the commander of the Fanhan Horse Infantry Army, personally led thousands of elite horsemen to contribute to the passes of Maling, Shihui, and Mangche; at the same time, it also brought news that Hezhong Town had been destroyed, and the Taiping thief from the north was besieging the northern capital of the Jin Army hinterland.
Although this news shocked the Chengde army of the Shangdang, it also made Wang Rong, a Zhenzhou/Zhending Mansion, overjoyed; because with Li Siyuan’s defections, it also brought four or five thousand generations of Bei Jingqi. It ranges from tens of thousands of feudal clan groups and tens of thousands of livestock. It is undoubtedly a help for Cheng De's army, who is strong with pawns and lacks good horses and rides among the three towns in Hebei.
Therefore, Wang Rong strictly ordered the building and reinforcement of the Party’s armies on the one hand, and the many important points and dangers that have been occupied, a lot of food and equipment should be stored in order to prevent the peaceful thieves in the river and the east of the river. On the other hand, he did not hesitate to accept it. Because of Li Siyuan’s surrender, he was moved inland and settled in Luquan County, where Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou are bordered.
Then he recruited Li Siyuan himself and hundreds of people from his trilogy to Zhending City, personally interviewed the corresponding Hedong enemy situation and resettlement, and ranked second at the banquet, and continuously bestowed Jinbao fortune and Meiji Liang's residence. , And commissioned him to serve as deputy envoys of Sima and Yiwu Jiedu of the two provinces, which can be described as a moment of grace and closeness.
After all, in Wang Rong's opinion, the Jin general Li Siyuan's coming to vote not only brought Daibei's good horse and Jianqi, but also introduced a new force (accidental factor) into the current structure of the Chengde army. It can suppress and divide the long-standing family of generals and soldiers, and have to make them wholeheartedly rely on and rely on themselves.
As for the request from Weibo Town, he apparently responded solemnly on the surface, but in private, he slightly disapproved of it. Except for the fact that the heavy troops were gathered in the Shangdang area to guard against peaceful thieves, at least in his account. From the perspective of many counsellors headed by Zhou Shi, the current Weibo Town Knights are not yet in need of rescue.
The mind, courage and methods of Le Yanzhen, who has been at the top for several years, are far less than that of his predecessor, Han Jian. Therefore, just a Tianping army from Henan province made him chaotic and busy seeking to obtain the alliance of the three towns; this is simply too ridiculous and ridiculous.
As the Heyang Army who retreated from the Shangdang and turned into the territory of Weibo, Chengde Town is undoubtedly the most direct beneficiary; however, compared to Zhuge Shuang, the five-surnamed domestic slave who has many years of history, it has always been shown to have a crack. It’s easy to take advantage of it, but at the same time cherish and take care of the strength of the consistent style, so aggressive and enterprising, but it is a bit incomprehensible.
Therefore, Wang Rong would rather sit back and watch for one or two more. At least until Wei Bo and Heyang saw each other, consumed almost the same amount, and even both suffered, the Chengde Army/Zhao Jun, who had been able to send troops in his spare time, could obtain the greatest benefits and the greatest benefits. Favorable results. Not to mention the cost of cutting land and giving up land, at least let Wei Bo be attached to his own side in name.
Compared with the predicament of Wei Bo in the south, Wang Rong is actually more concerned about the reflexive changes in the territory of Lu Longjun/Yan in the north; seeing the new term of office, Li Quanzhong has been in power for more than a month, and the envoy he sent is also forward. After several visits, there was no response. Instead, the wars in the neighboring states were raging.
In this case, Li Siyuan, who was led by Hedong, became a key bargaining chip to deal with the changes in Lulongzhen/Yan State; at least Wang Rong didn’t think that in this world, who else could give this ex-jin The military commander's more generous courtesy and power position made him grateful that Salin didn't dare not do his best to think that he had paid for it.
Fortunately, just as he was exhausted and upset about this, Shi Ximeng, a close member of the royal palace, privately introduced him to Wang Ruona, a Taoist priest from the Xishan Queen’s Temple in Zhenzhou. Wangyousan eased his heart disease to a certain extent, and also obtained the method of practicing with indulgence.
Therefore, in his spare time, he began to delegate most of his political affairs to the confidants such as the judge Zhou Shi, the marching Sima Li Ai, and the command and envoy Duan Liang of the Chinese and foreign military sub-offices, and his trusted generals such as Ma Ke and Li Honggui. And the eunuchs who came out of the palace were in the army, thinking of daily life.
On the other hand, he is more and more indulgent in convening the old and new subordinates, taking turns to have fun, singing, dancing and singing, and rewards. At the same time, he follows Taoist Wang Ruona to practice the worldly law that is said to prolong life and long life; even disregarding the world's criticism and ethics. , So that those same father and sisters think it is a big medicine, even if they are advised by the side nearby, they are determined not to change.
However, Wang Rong, who had finished the all-night banquet today, suddenly had a whim on the way back to the palace. He wanted to go to the Huyingzhuang where Li Siyuan and his music stopped outside the city, to inspect the Hengcheng which was being arranged and assembled. Chongjun; left and right to persuade you to have no choice but to quickly convene the marriage camp, the back office, and the inner government.
However, as the snow stopped to see the clearness, Wang Rong, who was overwhelmed with wine, became a little stubborn at this moment, and couldn’t wait to lead Yidu as a guardian of Yidu to ride; just like this, he left many of his civil and military subordinates without head The returning horse rushed out of Simon and went;
However, Wang Rong’s journey took most of the day until it was dark again and no one came back to Zhending City. In Zhending City, many horsemen and messengers were also sent to the Huyingzhuang and Wangmu Shrine in the west of the city. After waiting for many inquiries, there was no more news.
At this time, the left-behind civil and military generals in Zhending City finally realized that there might be an accident and change, and immediately became a little flustered and nervous. However, because of Wang Rong's usual circling methods, he is now falling into a group of dragons without a leader, and no one can get ahead and call the shots.
People were panicked and undercurrents surging until the sky turned white. Then a small team called the city outside the west gate. Someone at the top of the city recognized that it was the benefit of the family camp. Su Hanheng, Zhang Youshun and others could not help but open the door and put them into the city. Inside.
However, this small team suddenly turned their faces inside the door, and temporarily controlled the wide open door, and more unknown soldiers ambushing in the wild snow were introduced into the city to guard against them. The army just hacked and killed. (End of this chapter)
