However, when Cui Anqian, who was a small half-month in the army of Cizhou, after the messenger ran back and forth several times, finally got the result that he wanted, and took the five thousand criminals on the return journey; but he heard another bad news.
The former Zelu Jiedu made Gao Xun once again be held by the general Chenglin, and refused to accept the Meng Li as the Zhaoyi army. Instead, he held the Jieya and retreated to Zezhou to take control. The people of Luzhou even elected Wu Quanxu from the Military Supervisory Yuan to stay behind.
Since then (Taihang) the chaos in the Ze and Lu prefectures in the mountains have revived, and three festivals have appeared in Zhaoyi Town at a time. And he also had to lament in Tianjingguan, that the authority of the court has declined to such a degree, and the desires that are not popular at all are difficult to fill.
In fact, during this period, he also used the name of mediation to send corresponding messengers to the three towns of Heshuo, which were conquering cities in Hebei and Henan. But the corresponding result is also sad and absolutely infuriating.
Lu Longjun Jidu Li Keju, who had already annexed most of the Yiwu Army, showed courtesy and courtesy to the deceased, and patted his chest to ensure that he followed the banner of the imperial court, but he showed no sign of stopping the siege of Yizhou. .
The father and son Wang Jingchong of the German army also met with the emissaries sent by him with courtesy; but for the actions that are already occupying the territory of the Henghai navy, it can be said that one pushes two to five. On the contrary, they can’t wait to ask the court to ratify its fait accompli and use it as a thief. The potential is to threaten to seek relevant sections.
Even in the Chengde army, one of them still heartily provided news to the imperial court's subordinates that once the Chengde army completely calmed down the entire territory of the Henghai navy, it would have to look at Shu and go south to plot the town of Pinglu located in the Qingzhou area.
As for Weibo Town, which has publicly honored the banner of the thief army and invaded the land of Henan, Cui Anqian’s messenger never had the opportunity to reach the army of Jishuai Han Jian, and had disappeared inexplicably on the road; even if he It is also useless to offer to pardon the other party and return to the court.
Therefore, Cui Anqian looked around and saw that he had only a small corner of Hedong (now most of Shanxi and Yanbian in Inner Mongolia), which could be used as the basis and the basis for fighting thieves.
Among them, Hezhongfu (Linfen, Shanxi), the gateway to the southwest of the land of Hedong, and Wang Chongrong, the queen of Jiedu in Hezhong, have already killed the Imperial Guard and publicly surrendered the thieves. They turned their heads and gradually occupied and annexed the upper reaches of the Fen River. States and counties under the banner of the imperial court.
The Zhaoyi Army in the Shangdang Basin in the southeastern part of the Shangdang Basin was rebelled; he still needed to reconquer and settle down; in fact, all he could rely on was Taiyuan and its Hedong Town, the northern capital in the hinterland of Hedong, and the old Beixing camp north of Yanmen Belonging to the states.
However, although the people in the Daibei prefectures are sturdy and there are many vassals around the city, they are also mountainous and narrow, the land is barren and the products are not abundant; like Shuofang and other border military towns, they need long-term supply from the court to maintain.
Therefore, he has only the "Jinzhong Basin" where the Taiyuan prefectures are located to maintain and support the Heavenly Army, Datong Army, Hengye Army, Kelan Army, and Yunzhong Shouzhuo who belong to Hedong Town.
Therefore, if the Zelu states cannot be pacified as soon as possible and the local wealth and inventory are obtained as supplements, let alone the southward thief to regain the lost land, it will become a problem to maintain the tens of thousands of troops under his command.
Thinking of Fengtian City in Fengxiang Town, the prime minister Zheng Tian who was struggling to maintain and support the situation in the northwest, Cui Anqian suddenly felt a little unsuccessful and secretly sad.
It's just that his emotions didn't last for long, so he quickly cheered up; it is because of the fact that it is so difficult, that these famous and prestigious homes have a lot to do with their madness.
At the very least, even if the imperial court is struggling to get up again in the future, his deeds here are enough to fix the Wushui House, one of the six houses for Qinghe Cui, and leave enough to support generations of people's hopes and foundations.
After all, although he remained loyal to the court for the moment and determined to serve his country, as he got older and his clansmen depended on more and more children, he had to make long-term plans behind him and the future of the family.
At this time, a piece of news from Chang'an and sent from Kanto once again made his face become uncertain. Because Huang Ni, the head of the thief who robbed the two capitals, he did not know what he had gone crazy while opening imperial examinations in Chang'an and Luoyang at the same time.
Although they were ignorant because of their humble background, and because of the lack of constitution and experience in the corresponding "imperial examination" process, many jokes and wrongs were made; but under the call of informal background, there were differences between the two places in the end. Thousands of people participated in this "thief test."
Among them, there are even scholars and lower-level officials. This shows that we are going to compete with the imperial court for supremacy and popular support; and the Cui clan who stayed there will inevitably send corresponding candidates to participate, thinking that Neiying and Anzi.
Among them, two of the Cui family's children actually passed the first and re-tests, and entered the re-examination of the Shang Palace where there were only more than a hundred people left; at the same time, they also sent the papers for the thief test to Cui Anqian urgently.
There are no philosophical avenues, no judgments and poems; instead, they are patchwork questions and answers that lack relevance and order, specific practices, and examples of countermeasures. It can be said that it is far from the traditional imperial examinations of the imperial court, and it is more similar to the trivial study of subordinates.
But the more so, it made Cui Anqian more uneasy; because he could imagine the trend of these topics, the attraction for those officials and students who have been suffering from the trend. Afterwards, he replied to the additional explanation in the letter:
"We must find ways to disrupt and disrupt this matter, and we can encourage people to appeal and argue against it. On the grounds of insulting the human body, we will mix up the water before talking..."
However, it's like the general truth that a good fortune does not come singly. When Cui Anqian came to Linluzhou from the Tianjingguan squad, accepting the surrender of Wu Quanxu from the Military Supervisory Academy, and preparing to enter Zezhou again, another piece of news was sent from Huainan that made him unavoidably a little gaffe on the spot.
"Four wishes for peace? Damn it, the ling thief dares to speak up. Isn't it going to disrupt the grammar of the dynasty and usurp the country's righteousness..."
At this moment, Cui Anqian was a little pessimistic and disappointed; there was a puppet dynasty who robbed the Central Plains to win over officials with imperial examinations, and later there were Taiping thieves from Jinghu and Liangling who pretended to be righteous and competed with the court for grammar and righteousness.
However, the power of the world loyal to the court was divided into three regions that were difficult to respond to, and they were almost incapable of doing so. However, he made up his mind again: he immediately sent an envoy to the north of Yanmen Xu with all the expediency and convenience to reproduce the story of the relay-aided suppression during the Xiantong period.
—I am the dividing line —
In the midst of the blizzard and snow, I just trudged through a dilapidated Bianzhou territory, and a man and horse from Jishui and Baigou had to stop in the original Wujun city next to Huazhou. And take a break.
Although all of them wore thick cloaks and cotton robes, and even their mounts were covered with warm felt blankets; but this intermittent winter march has caused this specially selected team to appear frequently one after another. Left behind and attrition.
Therefore, when they entered the original military city of the empty army, many people were already frozen and stiff, and even the mounts could not get off. With the rapidly rising bonfire and surrounding stove, roasting and knocking off the top ice and snow on the saddles and wheel hubs, and after the soldiers warmed up close to the body of the mount,
Zhu Laosan, with white velvet on his beard and eyebrows, picked up a bowl of tea soup with sugar and powdered ginger and slowly sipped it. (End of this chapter)
