"The Northern Army has millions of tigers and braves, and the emperor has no other division.
Once seizing the seal and paying the private party, how can the dynasty be stunned. "
"Han Changli Collection · Yongzheng Tour"
"There are 100,000 troops in the army every year. Since ancient times, the kings have been rebellious. Since the army is the only one, no one has dared to win the national treasure."
Japanese monk Yuanren, "Looking for Dharma in the Tang Dynasty"
. . . . . . . .
Although the land of the Kanto region is already full of flames, the city of Chang'an City still follows the inertia of singing and dancing for a long time, and maintains a certain daily customs of walking horses and singing every night.
After all, since the change of Jingyuan, no matter how hard the Central Plains is, Guanzhong has always been able to maintain a peaceful and peaceful scene on its own. Even the emperor's renewal event like the change of Ganlu Temple is far away from the daily livelihood of most people.
Although it was the beacon from Tongguan that took over the days and nights, it seemed to have no decent touch or influence on the still-fresh atmosphere in Chang'an City. Even self-comforting word-of-mouth and popular auspicious signs and visions.
For example, some people vowed to claim that there was a bird descended from the sky in the Emperor Xuanyuan Temple on Zhongnan Mountain, and people said that this disaster was a national sign and aura that continued to protect the three Jiazi of the Tang Dynasty.
Someone also found a few ganoderma lucidum in the mansion of the ten kings in the former residence of the current saint’s lord, and they found a few large red mushrooms that were like a pot, as a lesson for the country’s revitalization; others saw large black magpies flocking in the east waiting leakage courtyard for a long time to linger, and did it The dance of nagiri
Then the monks from Fufeng County reported that the stupa enshrined in Famen Temple suddenly became bright and the sky saw the Sanskrit sound, and there were faint bodhisattvas and statues of the Dharma appearing in the temple along with the ceiling. .
However, in the political affairs hall inside the imperial city, it was a summer heat without any ice in the cellar, and you could feel the bleak, solemn and cold atmosphere.
"What kind of relationship is this? Why are the Daying and Zuozang treasuries mostly empty, and the remaining treasuries are all old and decayed things"
Zheng Tian, who had re-emerged as the prime minister of the political affairs hall, only felt that a wave of anger hit the top cover and almost burned his Jinxian crown, and he sternly said to the left and right with a cold face.
"I was ordered to go to the Eastern Capital to open the mansion, but how to explain it, these are important resources for preparing for the preparation of the imperial thieves, no one is allowed to trespass..."
The prime ministers, such as Dou Luyuan, Cui Ma, and important ministers who were present at the scene could not help but face the coveted; then, Wang Hui and Pei Che, who were recently promoted from the Hanlin scholar, explained the difficulties of each of them. .
"But it was Lu (together) Zisheng who secretly hooked up with the noble man of Tian Da in Ouchi, and successively took them away in the name of serving as an offering.
"It's even more based on the emperor's inner decree, and my generation can't stop it with all my best."
"What's the situation with the armored warehouse of the God Strategy Army? Where did most of the armor and equipment go... and the horses in the Six Stables of the Flying Dragon..."
Hearing this, Zheng Qi couldn't help but feel a little stunned, and then he became more and more angry and sternly questioned.
"This, this... In fact, more than half a month ago, they were allocated to Shu by Tian Shumi one after another... There is evidence from Song Yunxuan, an envoy from the Nei Jia Zhuang library..."
The only ambassador present, Li Wenxian, the Central Protector of the Zuo Shence Army, exclaimed.
"The great thief of the country, how many... and tell me how to deal with it..."
Suddenly, Zheng Qi felt that it was going to make smoke. The sky turned upside down for a while, and he roared without throwing the board on the ground.
He was so painful and forced to put up a crown on this, before he persuaded Yanying Dianzhao to confront the already chaotic young holy lord who was in public horror and tears. He personally reviewed Zuo Shence’s generals and encouraged the soldiers to act. The imperial court serves.
Yang Fugong came forward and persuaded all the eunuchs in Ouchi with his own interests, and divided the soldiers of the Shence army who had guarded the capital into one first, with about 2,800 bowmen and crossbowmen, went to support the defense of Tongguan Qikerang. military.
It is the order of God’s strategy for the left army Majun general Zhang Chengfan to be the pioneer envoy of soldiers and horses and to set up the interception pass system, and since then lead the team first; the right army infantry general Wangshihui will set the pass food and material envoy, the left army soldier and horse ambassador Zhao Ke is a sentence as a stopper; it is necessary for the subsequent transportation and defense.
However, I never thought that I would do my best for the imperial thieves in this rear area, but he would arrange for the command system of the eight towns inside and outside of the Shence Army and all the soldiers and horses, etc. Tian Lingzi, once again slammed the silence. .
Now that the imperial treasury has no money or food, and all the envoys of the transfer of salt and iron are paralyzed, isn't he going to lose his promise to the soldiers fighting in front of him.
In sharp contrast to the scenes of desperation or inconsistency, it was an urgent memorial from Tongguan Qikerang on the case, and Nei wrote the book surprisingly:
"Huang Chao has entered the eastern capital, the ministers retreated to Baotongguan, and set up villages outside the pass. The soldiers have been fighting repeatedly, lacking capital reserves, the states and counties are dilapidated, the population is extinct, there are no kings in the east, west, north and south, and they are frustrated. The disadvantages are that everyone feels homesick, and if they are defeated, they will beg for money and aid early."
At the same time, in the garrison of Shence Army in the palace.
Song Yunxuan, a sturdy inner armor warrior, was also under the onlookers and supervision of several vermilion-colored inner envoys. He was struggling desperately to be covered by a few big-waisted soap armor sergeants. Get up and fix the head and neck in a pair of prepared slings.
"I'm sorry, the matter in this is really too much involved, so it can only end with you."
Afterwards, one of the inner envoys, who seemed to be the most mature, also faced with a pity, struggling on the beam, Song Yunxuan sighed:
"Now that the situation of distress is being investigated, even if it is Ambassador Tian himself, he can't join forces with any of Zheng Xianggong and deputy envoy Yang; if you can't plead guilty and commit suicide in time, I'm afraid we all won't be able to survive... "
And on the bank of Bashui outside Chang'an City. General Zhang Chengfan, the Shence general who had just crossed the Beiba Bridge, was also looking back at the Huanghuang Chang'an City again immediately, as well as the untidy, even loose marching queue behind him.
I couldn't help but sighed in my heart. Now, the athletes who are carefully selected from the nation's well-trained army are just like this. But I also remembered the words of the Holy Master who had come to read the Holy Master on the Zhangxinmen Tower, and the right time for the parting call.
"The ministers heard that Huang Chao had hundreds of thousands of people, and they walked to the west. Zike let the tens of thousands of hungry and dying people rely on the outside, and the re-deployed ministers used more than 2,000 people in the Guan, and he did not hear of it as a payment plan. Reject the thieves, and the ministers sullen their hearts. May your majesty enjoy all the elite soldiers as your support."
And the answer of the Holy Lord is quite eloquent:
"Qing generation is the first line, the soldiers are the best!"
. . . . . . . .
And in the imperial inner city of Luoyang, the eastern capital, Huang Chao is also sighing. It is indeed the world’s first city in the eastern capital; just the spontaneous donation of these Luodu sergeants and people is so rich. .
He actually raised 100,000 yuan in one night, hundreds of thousands of silk and silk, and tens of thousands of catties of gold and silver utensils and other properties. And this surrendered Dongdu deputy staying behind Liu Yunzhang, is also a very knowledgeable and decent figure.
Although he ordered not to disturb the Fangli, he only took the palace and the camp to stop; but he privately loaded hundreds of women into the camp with an ox cart to serve in the camp, claiming to admire the mighty resources of the rebel generals. It is said that there are many officials and even women from the five surname tribes.
Therefore, with such a considerate and current affairs person, he doesn't mind maintaining a situation where the army and the people join forces with the "rebels entering the city, just asking questions, and Lu Li."
It’s just that although everything in this Luodu is good, how can it be compared to the prosperous scenery in Xijing Chang’an where the emperor resides; that is the place where he once dreamed and hated; it is also now recreating the scenery Where. So his footsteps will not stay here any longer.
Of course, it is different from the previous practice of going all the way and eating all the way; now where the rebels have gone, he has also appointed many different kinds of stayers (big states), guards (small states), and guards in the name of the general's mansion. Defence (county) and other official positions.
In addition, he also left a strong and reliable leader of the rebel army to guard for a while in some important places where Dayi and Zhechong were important. For example, the Caizhou governor Qin Zongquan, who was very acquainted with people and horses to help the battle, was re-appointed as the guard of the five states of Huaibei.
And Liu Hanhong, who negotiated the conditions later, also gave up the territory in Henan with his troops, and honestly went to Huainan to be his southern road chief and Huainan ambassador. Today, all the states in the Guanluo Plain cannot be easily left behind or ignored.
It's just that the candidates who stayed in Luodu and guarded in the sub-states need to be carefully considered and weighed.
"My lord, the Zihuan Palace has already been set up, so I just waited for the officials to come to meet him..."
At this time, the proprietor Cui Miao respectfully asked for instructions.
"Tell them to take a moment..."
Huang Chao couldn't help but waved his hand. With the support and arrangement of many maids, especially in comparison with his figure waiting in the big bronze mirror, he always felt that there was something missing between the gorgeous clothes and gowns and belts all over his body.
"My lord, Heyang Zhuge Shuang has already presented the list, and sent the general Liu Jing to lead five thousand men and horses to come from the conscription battle.. Just wait for the king to send someone to take over Heyang (Bridge) Nanguan. Up..."
Another secretary, Huang Rui, stepped forward and whispered.
"Shan Ye, according to my order, I will call him the guardian envoy of the Hebei Metropolitan Government and the north, and the Heyang Jiedu envoy will rule everything as usual..."
Huang Chao couldn't help but praise. After all, this was the first time that the imperial court became a vassal. Even the small town that guarded the northern gateway of the Eastern Capital was undoubtedly a start to boost morale and inspire.
"But I don't know who the king sent to guard Heyang Nanguan..."
Huang Rui continued to ask for instructions with his head down and ear-like.
"Well..."
Huang Chao changed his mind to several names, but set them down. Finally, he settled on a newly outstanding face.
"Just let that Zhu San, bring the horse team of the former army to garrison..."
It was he who caught Cao Xiang, who was rushing for help, and led people in the formation desperately to intercept the armour of the officer and army, which made the old man Cao lose the opportunity to escape and give the lead. It was also he who rushed into Du Ji Dao first, and Luo Du, who was shocked, did not dare to act rashly until the arrival of the formation.
It can be said that he is a courageous figure, but it is a pity that because of his elder brother, the relatives represented by the "Huangmen Eight Sons" have always been in the military office, and the "new affiliated party members" headed by Cui Miu. Faint suppression and rejection;
This time, he was given a chance to make up and make his head. It was also to beat and warn the two sides. Don't be too overwhelmed to see the long drive into the pass. Therefore, he interrupted Huang Rui and Cui Miao's disagreement without saying anything, and continued on his own:
"Call Brother Yan, after so many things, he should have made some progress... So this is the follow-up preparations in Luodu, I will leave it to him for the time being..." (End of this chapter)
