However, after Chen Yunxiang said this sentence, he heard a burst of laughter that seemed to be unreliable. Then, after listening to Zhou Huai'an re-opened his voice:
"There is a big deal here, so I ask the bachelor to take care of it..."
Therefore, after Shen Yunxiang had to be "invited" out again on the spot; only the left and right who accompanied the audience in the tent could not help but talk one after another:
"Could it be that there is no one available in Chang'an, who actually sent such an outspoken (no city mansion) man to come?"
"Maybe this is a deliberate use of weak means, but there is a conspiracy?"
"Others may be showing weakness, but how can the nature of the man from the north be possible? That's where you can't wait to be decent and disciplined in everything!"
"Split the soil and respect the north and the south, it looks like there is really nowhere to go. If not, why are you willing to cede the name?"
"Then let's save it if we don't save it? What can we do and how far we can do it? Please show the king..."
As a result, all the questions and decision-making power were brought back to Zhou Huai'an, and the curtain was completely quiet inside and outside, leaving only the gentle hot spring flowing and the rushing water rushing. After weighing the pros and cons for a while, Zhou Huai'an spoke word by word:
"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. You must do something, otherwise all the previous efforts and arrangements will be wasted..."
"But everything that follows must be carried out at the pace led by the Taiping Army..."
"Let the countermeasure team of the staff team conduct deduction and evaluation according to the worst case..."
"Even if you can't go all out to intervene, try to ensure that things don't collapse too quickly or too early..."
"The worst thing is to preserve some of the access points in Gyeonggi Province and the window period to accept the corresponding active force..."
"Let the troops training and standby in Shannan begin to receive equipment and supplies for winter operations..."
After being brought out, Chen Yunxiang also sighed and smiled bitterly. At least that King Chu didn't reject it on the spot, and it was enough for him to turn around and barely explain it. Although it would be improper and dignified to tell the bottom line and requirements of the sage as soon as they met, it would be improper and dignified, but it was the best way he could think about right now.
Since Shen Yunxiang's surname is Shen, he naturally also comes from the family of Wuxing Shen, one of Wuzhong's four surnames, but he moved to the capital two generations ago and became a separate branch; and his brother Shen Ya was an official Zhiguang in the Xiantong period. Lu Shaoqing. Therefore, Men Yin got him into the Imperial College, and then turned to the secretary's supervisor as Dongge school secretary and Dr. Taichang.
Until the emperor Qianfu rushed west and Huang Chao entered Beijing, he followed Zhang Chengfan's hundreds of civil and military officials to surrender and thieves. Later, Huang Chao ascended the throne as the lord of the new dynasty of the Qi, and Shen Yunxiang was also retained as a Hanlin bachelor of the provincial undergraduate system because of his excellent writing of the edict. Since then, he has become a relatively useful model among the many demotions in the new dynasty. One of the facades.
Even if he was reused by the new dynasty of Daqi, he didn't have much joy and pride at all. Strictly speaking, more often he was just powerless to resist the changing tide of generations, but was only one of the many people who followed the crowd. It's just that after the thief, it's hard to turn back. And the great Tang monarchs who seemed to have done something before, the various attitudes in front of the gangsters were unbearable, and it was also frustrating and disappointing.
He originally wanted to take refuge in Zhongnan Mountain, or Taibai Mountain or Louguan Mountain. But this time is chaotic, where is the real place of purity? He also couldn't let go of his relatives in the city of Chang'an; therefore, when the pirate army began to conquer them, the servants of the old dynasty, some of them committed suicide, some pretended to be sick, and some fled;
And he, together with Gao Zhisheng, Pei Wo, and the only remaining dozens of people, served as the Hanlin scholars, servants, and undertakings of the new dynasty of the Qi Dynasty. Of course, in a sense, the Yanxiao family who was born in the Yanxiao family has tried repeatedly as a scholar, and finally embarked on the road of overthrowing Li Tang’s rebellion. For them, the servants and scholars who came from the old scholars. Officer, it's still pretty good.
Not only does the house give the children money and money continuously, but also the rare and comprehensive shelter. Even after the establishment of the new dynasty, the new dynasty's patriarchs would enter the halls of the high-ranking houses of Li Tang's clan, prime ministers, and important ministers, or run rampantly as if entering an uninhabited land; but under the strict constraints of Huang Chao, He has never touched or violated these bachelors' homes.
Therefore, when Cui An dived from the Hedong counterattack, Zhang Zhifang took the opportunity to connect with the many high gates in the city as a response. In the process of opening the door to offer the city, he did not consider and pay attention to the bachelors who were thieves; he was allowed to flee to the south of the city to escape. Therefore, in the aftermath of the liquidation of Huang Chao's return, these scholars with the background of Jinshi from the old dynasty were also able to stand alone in the blood stream of thousands of people.
However, he did not expect that one day he himself would become an envoy for help and be dispatched to the south. An important factor that made Chen Yunxiang an envoy was that there was a man from the family of Wu Xing and Shen next to the leader of the Taiping Army who owned the south. It's just a woman. That's a little nepotism that can't be beaten by eight poles.
However, Chen Yunxiang also failed to return to his temporary residence. Because he met an old acquaintance halfway through the road. He used to be with Zheng Gu, Li Changfu and others, and was known as one of Fanglin's ten philosophers, Zhang Qiao from Chizhou (now Chizhou, Anhui). (Because they were all in Chang'an during the Xiantong (860-874) years, Ying Jinshi tried to meet and communicate with eunuchs in poetry and essays, and the name can be obtained from Fanglinmen in the Ministry of Internal Servant).
It's just that because he escaped the approaching war in his early years, he abandoned the official and went south to go back to his hometown early; claiming to live in seclusion in Jiuhua Mountain in order to escape the world and practice. But I didn't want to, now I can meet again here; it really made him feel sighed with mixed feelings. Therefore, he accepted Zhang Qiao's invitation for a private gathering only after a little thought.
Then along the cleared road, came to a small courtyard. And standing at the door to greet him is another old acquaintance who is also his ancestor, Shen Bin from the Jingzhao branch of the Shen family of Wu Xing; but he vaguely remembered that the other party had failed many attempts, so he switched to Shannan Liu Jurong. Under the scene, he joined the army for recording, but he didn't want to join the Taiping army now.
When he enters the hall, he is surrounded by a steaming brazier and bright flowered lanterns. The seats are arranged in a circle at the top. It is another old knowledge of his past; the bottom of the Jinshi Examination in the eighth year of Xiantong (867) He also served as a doctor of Taichang together with him, and later worked as a Suzhou governor and deputy envoy of Piling; but it was Pi Rixiu, who was said to have not been in the turmoil of the border thief.
However, nowadays, he seems to be the best among these old friends and old acquaintances. Officially, he is the editor-in-chief of the Cultural and Historical Bureau of the Taiping Metropolitan Government and the Superintendent; even if Shen Yunxiang is in Chang'an, he can accidentally be in the mouth of Huang Wang. Hearing his name, or among the cheat sheets and manuscripts circulating in Chang'an City, I saw him as one of the author's signatures.
And sitting next to Pi Rixiu is also an old acquaintance. Cui Zhiyuan, who was well-known among the children of the Jingwai Fan, was also nodding and smiling at him. Seeing this scene, Chen Yunxiang couldn't help but put a wry smile on the corner of his mouth and said:
"But why is this? What you want to know, I take it for granted that I know everything and say nothing."
—I am the dividing line —
And to the north of Huaishui, Fuli in Xuzhou is outside the city. The snow-covered area was so clean, but it was trampled by a fast approaching horse and turned into black spots. On the flag flying over this army, there are several Chinese embroidered fonts such as "Wu Ning" and "Shi".
Then, the gate of Fu Licheng was opened amidst the sound of horns, and a large crowd of horse teams with the flags of "Caizhou" and "Qin" rushed out; The city walls spread quickly towards the left and right wings. Afterwards, Qin Zongquan, the first thief commander of Huai Shang, who was also under the blood-colored big bow, rushed out.
And under the banner of the "Shi" character on the opposite side, the Wuning Army (Xu Si) Jiedu Shipu, who has long eyebrows and thin eyebrows and looks like a eagle, also coldly looked at the lineup on the opposite side, and suddenly spoke to the left and right. :
"The decay that Qin Thief had belonged to has already appeared, but now it is becoming more and more bluffing..."
However, a general next to him had a deep voice of dissatisfaction.
"Shi Shuai, is it possible that now, do you really want to make peace with the Cai thief in front of the formation? So many dead, civilians, generals, and so on.."
"Otherwise, what can I do? The land on Huai has been fighting for several years, and the people in Xuzhou and other places have been displaced and the fields are barren. The town will also do its best to support and supply Yanhai and Qingzhen to fight Hebei..."
Shi Pu did not hesitate to:
"Now that Caizhou's foundation is captured by the Zhu family, and most of the current formation is hanging out, isn't it just the time when my generation was shameless..."
The general was still unwilling to say:
"Then also beware of Cai Thief fighting against the beast and hurting both sides! I don't want to get rid of Cai Thief in one fell swoop, but now the situation in Huainan has completely fallen apart!"
Shi Pu sighed heavily:
"Whether it is the Yang family of Shouhao, the Sun Ru of Chuzhou, or the Liu thief of Huaixi, and even the generations of Lu and Bi in Guangling, they have all been defeated one after another. What I have seen is that the Taiping thief is in the realm of Huainan, and I’m next to Xu Si across the water... If you continue to fight with Cai thief, wouldn’t you let people take advantage of the fishermen after the beginning of the spring?"
While we were talking, the drum horns heard from afar again, but another army also appeared on the horizon, and on the sea-blue banners held high, it was "Taining", "Yanhai", "Zhu" and so on. A silver line in big characters. Seeing this, Shi Pu frowned and said:
"Why didn't this Zick come by himself, he sent the new son-in-law to supervise the league..." (End of this chapter)
