In the city of Chang'an.
Liu Tang's grumbling continued until the moonlight subsided, and he didn't embark on his way home amidst the beat of the curfew. But instead of going home directly, he moved to the famous Pingkangli.
At least for most of the senior officials and generals of the Daqi court, compared to the hesitant communication in the first half of the night with a strong social meaning, they really meant the fun-seeking nightlife, which just started here.
And when he completely relaxed in the car, Liu Tang no longer had the slightest sense of anger and injustice before. Although the dream of the Daqi court was established, the glory and wealth, the authority and authority are also all, but everyone’s mind On the contrary, it is even more scattered, and the competition is even more fierce.
But anyway, since some of the internal information and attitude he knows have been passed by this opportunity, the next thing is to see the other party's reaction and success. After all, his confession was not entirely false, and the benefits and convenience he got from the Taiping Army were real.
Acting as the general coordinator who was ordered to communicate with the Taiping Army in the south, he could not only benefit from the many projects negotiated by the Taiping Army, but also when redistributing these resources, he would take a good draw from the water tower.
However, the good times did not last long, and many people soon became jealous. They simply designed and framed him to betray the interests of the new dynasty; and then took advantage of the period of his suspension and self-certification to give him the power of management and distribution to direct or Indirectly lost most of the encroachment and partition;
If it weren't for him and Zhao Zhang, the servant in the Zhengshitang, as the backer and helper, I'm afraid he will be completely marginalized by the idle cast and scattered. But those people didn't get much help.
Although his Liu Tang is not comparable to those who accompanied Huang Wang in the early years to charge into the battle, or the old brothers Yun and Pu, but at any rate he also took the account of the local salt lords group, and has always been the source of the military treasury of the generals Born from the old school.
Those people under his staff are old folks and old affairs who are familiar with, except for the monk who is very capable at the beginning; no one can easily insert it in, or drive it casually.
Not to mention that in recent years, the military government has used nuclear calculations to transfer money, food and materials, and manipulate various relationships and doorways from it; how can it be those who only see the benefits in their eyes, but do not see the hard work and suffering, can carry them? Got to be clear.
Therefore, he who is not in his position, does not need to design and instruct the old genus at all. As long as people ignore some key points in the hyperbolic affairs, and watch for a while, you can see the upstarts who have no clue at first touch. We, all kinds of hurried, helpless embarrassment and continued corruption.
But he still underestimated the ability and efficiency of these newly promoted celebrities, who are obviously insightful and inferior, or who are too ambitious and talented, to mess things up; under their own selfishness, they just happened to enter the winter rebels. The sagittarius will inevitably be the first to bear the bad luck.
As a result, the three main fronts that the Daqi imperial court was advancing and maintaining within the pass all coincided with freezing and starving deaths. In addition, because of insufficient supply, tens of thousands of troops actually fleeed in just one month. , Just cut it by more than 10%.
Then, Fei Chuangu and Gai Hong, who were first anxiously frustrated, broke into Ouchi and questioned King Huang; there was also a more fierce General Zuo Wuwei and Huang Hao, Huang Hao, who was also the North You Yi ambassador, with a pro-cong chong. Back in the city of Chang'an, Da Guangqihuo violently beat Huang Siyi, a member of the same clan who was unable to dispatch and could not tell the origin.
As a result, Liu Tang, who originally wanted to continue to watch the fire from the other side, had to be compensated with a lot of false conditions before he returned to his original position and asked him to come out and take charge of the situation again before his gaffe became more corrupted.
Therefore, if he wants to regain his power in the past, and even do more and perform more, he also cannot do without the cooperation and cooperation of the Taiping Army. For this reason, he even revealed some of the court's internal affairs, secretly gaining the trust of the other party.
For example, at the banquet of Fangcai, he followed the opportunity of drunkenness to speak in silence. There are several people in the Taiping Metropolitan Mansion in the south. They have always carried correspondence in the goods and received corresponding benefits in the name of old and kinship.
Then it mentioned that all the ministers in the Zhengshitang, including Wang Duo, the former prime minister who served as a decoration, were all very interested in the actions of the Taiping Army's Grand Duomo. .
Flowing thought about it, suddenly kicked the carriage forward and shook it heavily, and then he was caught off guard and fell to one side of the wall, and was wrapped up in a ball by those gorgeous ornaments in the car. This is the hurried cry from outside:
"There are assassins..."
"Protect the transporter..."
"Be careful about..."
"Don't chase far away... Beware of hitting the bill."
Liu Tang, who had been hit with a painful head and had a sticky feeling, also woke up most of the time; then the car curtain was lifted, revealing the face of the guard, and he cut his voice:
"Fortune, but it's okay..."
Relying on the sloping wall panels, Liu Tang noticed that one of the two horses he was pulling had been shot and the other was struggling with an arrow to the ground. Having hit the wall and leaned to one side on the rotating spokes, there were a few long and thin carved arrows stuck in it.
At the same time, Gao Yu, who was about to return to his residence, near the Huainan Mansion, also encountered an ambush in the streets. Along with clusters of sharp arrows shot from the dark city square in the neighborhood, there were also many masked men in grey who jumped out of the eaves of the wall with weapons in their hands.
They silently and frantically besieged the guards and sergeants, and in a blink of an eye they chopped down most of them, and the rest of the guards simply fled away in despair of morale.
However, they were reluctant to create and fight for this buffer time, and Gao Yu decided to abandon the car and walk with a few relatives, and retreated to a deserted and dilapidated city. Of course, these attackers refused to let them go easily, and they chased them into the alleys.
Then, suddenly, a few firelights that blew up in the night, and the sound of dusty tremors, and scrambled to flee, but their number was already reduced by more than half, and everyone was injured. Or it's bloody and terrible.
Soon after, Zhao Zhang, who was serving the night in the political affairs hall, finally got an urgent report from the police officer on the street:
"Liu Du was assassinated and injured on the street by the transfer... Now he is in the village behind closed doors for treatment..."
"The Taiping Army envoy Gao Zoujin who feasted with him was attacked at Chongdefang near the East City. The body was covered with dead and wounded guards. I am missing..."
—I am the dividing line —
Outside Chengdu. Then, the cavalry galloping in the distance also approached the present; Chen Jingxuan's confidant general Li Shunzhi was led by Chen Jingxuan, and he shouted immediately.
"Jieshuai, please stay here..."
The sweaty summoner suddenly showed a face of determination, and slammed Chen Jingxuan's mount severely, causing it to rush out in pain. However, he was riding a horse, and he was overtaken before he ran far, and he hurriedly yelled out:
"I serve the Holy Lord..."
I saw a Qiang army who had rushed to him with a face full of flesh, suddenly drew a knife and flashed, the summoning messenger's voice stopped abruptly, and he screamed quickly and screamed to cover his bloody chest and fell over. Get off the horse. The other entourages dispersed in a rush, and then they were chased by these pawns to chop and stab them to death.
"You...you guys... dare to kill... eager to kill me..."
And then Chen Jingxuan, who was dragged back back, was able to react at this time, but he didn't know whether it was frightened or angry, and pointed at them with a trembling arm.
"Second brother... This is not what you think... This matter is very strange and dangerous..."
At this time, his only surviving brother, Langzhou Governor Chen Jingxun, also stepped forward to explain.
Only then did he know that his younger brothers, Langzhou governor Chen Jingxun, Du Yuhou Li Shunzhi, and Li You, who remained in the camp, felt wrong after he was called away. On the spot, he instigated the Qiang general who had already followed, killed Li Huan, the deputy envoy of Guanjunrong who was suspicious, and the prison detainee Zhou Wenjing, and regained control of the situation in the Xijiao camp.
"I have sent someone to inquire about the big brother before, but I found out that the trip was confined inside and outside, and the big brother did not know what to do. It was not long before he came out to report the letter, and the Zicheng was also blocked... I am afraid that a major change has occurred... "
Chen Jingxun followed immediately.
"I have already asked the summoned attachés. The Holy Master is indeed in Xishan Bieyuan. I am afraid that it will be constrained by people with ulterior motives. Please also ask Jieshuai to lead troops to escort him..."
Du Yuhou Li Shunzhi also said.
"But, but... in case it doesn't..."
At this time, Chen Jingxuan's indecision made him hesitate.
"The kung fu, wealth and authority at the festival are all tied to Tian Gong. If the public is unpredictable, my family's wealth and life will depend on the decisiveness of the festival... Isn't the festival willing to take care of his wives and children and go to the hands of others? What..."
As the mastermind, Li also quickly persuaded him, and then added to it.
"Seeing that Gao Renhou is coming soon... Don't you just have to pay for those of Tian Gong..."
"But... who should be first..."
Chen Jingxuan was relieved after all.
"Ordinary soldiers can't be used for fear of hesitation and repetition, but those Qiang soldiers who can only listen to simple commands can be used, and then we will send the dental soldiers to'rescue'..."
Counselor Li turned his thoughts and immediately offered advice.
"Come on...Come on, let's listen to you..."
Like an ant on a hot pot, Chen Jingxuan can only stomped his feet.
Not long afterwards, a Qiang army with fur hats, beasts, and unfit iron armor, started screaming and rushing towards the Xishan Bieyuan. He also smoothly turned the houses in the towns and villages along the way into cries of fireworks. (End of this chapter)
