As April approached, the political situation of the Tang Dynasty, which had been like a stagnant mass of water, finally showed amazing changes. The long-silent Chang'an court made a big splash, and made a big splash. The emperor issued an edict, and the Wei Bo Jiedushi Tian Chengsi, the governor of Wei Bo, raised an army and attacked his colleagues, and made a bad plan. The court decided to launch a large army to attack.

In the imperial edict, King Fu Li Xin was appointed as the chief general of the army, taking charge of the overall situation, and General Guide Chen Bangzhao was appointed as the deputy chief general, responsible for military command, and dispatched a large army of 100,000 to attack Wei Bo.

Shortly after the imperial edict was issued, the new Hedong Jieduan Han Qi raised his troops to attack from Hedong and launched an attack on Zhaoyi Jieduan Town. A few days later, the Xuanwu Jieduan Zhu Wen claimed that he would respond to the imperial edict of the court and sent troops to attack Weizhou, the important town of Weibo.

In a moment, Wei Botian Chengsi, who had just annexed Zhaoyijie Towns, Luzhou, Weizhou, Beizhou and Mingzhou, was actually attacked from all sides.

The emperor personally sent troops to attack the Jiezhen under his command. This was the first time in nearly twenty years. For a moment, the world looked at each other and countless Jiezhen were watching the result of this siege. There is no doubt that if the emperor wins, the momentum of the Chang'an Central will be greatly boosted, especially after being integrated with the Wuwei Jiezhen, which the court relies most on, its strong strength will pose a great threat to all Jiezhen.

At that time, all towns would either become obedient people or be the next target to be attacked.

Anything starts with just one start, and then it will be natural.

The loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty secretly rejoiced, and those with ulterior motives also hoped that the court would be defeated to maintain the current situation. Of course, more were waiting and watching. The ostrich mentality of the car that there would be a road before the car arrived at the mountain.

The people in Chang'an are excited.

The people at the feet of the emperor have their own pride, and their confidence in the emperor's personal army is naturally extremely trustworthy. No matter what, the 200,000 Shen Ce troops pursued by the imperial court in the Heluo area in Guanzhong are still far better than ordinary town troops in terms of equipment. The Shen Ce troops seen by the people are naturally majestic. From time to time, an armed parade or military exercise is also extremely brave.

Since the emperor has taken action himself, he will naturally be able to rebel easily.

In this way, there were two extremes within the Shence Army. Usually, those soldiers from ordinary families were extremely excited. If they wanted to make a name for themselves, they had to make extraordinary achievements. Where did the soldiers' merits come from? Of course, they got it from the battlefield. On the Taiping New Year, it was difficult for them to climb up. Every position had been arranged properly, and only a few positions became fair chastity arches for officials above. Basically, most positions fell into the hands of those noble families, wealthy families, and royal relatives.

Once you go to the battlefield, you will speak with a knife and with military achievements. Although your family background and background can still play a role, they are much smaller after all.

For these people, war is a way out, but the Chang'an court has been in waning for so many years, and they have no way out. Now they finally see hope, so they are naturally sharpening their knives.

The other part is a feeling of being frustrated and frightened.

These people came from extraordinary origins and naturally knew much more. They knew that the Shence Army looked majestic on the outside, but their real combat power was jealous. Compared with the army in the towns outside, they were probably not a little worse. This time, it seemed that Wei Bo was besieged from all directions, but no matter Hedong or Xuanwu, no one could tell how much power it could do now. The main force must be the Shence Army.

If they have no eyes on the battlefield, they can enjoy wealth and glory without going to the battlefield. Why do they have to fight for the bloody battle with those Xialiba people?

After the enlistment edict was issued, a craze of retirement surged in Chang'an immediately. Hundreds of middle-level officers demanded retirement on various reasons, so they were so out of control that Emperor Li Yan was shocked and angry, and issued an edict that no one could be discharged from the army at this time and no one could escape the dispatch of troops. Otherwise, not only would he deprive him of all his meritorious positions, but he would also have to stay in his house.

Before the troops were sent, the joke that Chang'an had spread throughout the world's towns. While these towns shook their heads, they couldn't help but become pessimistic about the result of this troops.

Compared with Chang'an, Luoyang is much better, thanks to the strict military management of King Fu Li Xin over the past ten years. Luoyang's 50,000 Shen Ce Army sent 30,000 troops, led by Niu Furen, as the pioneer, took the lead in launching an attack on Wei Bo.

Before the army moved, food and grass were naturally the first to go, and the prices in Chang'an also rose all the way. Before the people could feel the joy of winning the war, they first felt the feeling of the coins in their bags being hollowed out.

Tu Hu naturally would not miss such a good opportunity to make a fortune. They received the news much earlier than ordinary nobles. With Jin Mantang's funds and channels, although it took only half a year, Yixingtang's expansion in the Central Plains and the south showed explosive growth. While all the places were still confused, Tu Hu had organized Yixingtang to transport a large amount of rice, grain and other strategic materials from the south along the canal to Luoyang, Chang'an and other places.

First, they gathered up, and when large-scale war mobilization began to be carried out in Chang'an and Luoyang, and prices soared, Yixingtang began to release the resources in his hands one after another and made a big profit.

Compared with the chaos like fire cooking oil in the entire Chang'an, the General Qianniu Guard's Mansion and its subordinates were calm. The Qianniu Guard now has one thousand soldiers and more than four thousand auxiliary soldiers. Although the organization is like this, with the strong economic support of Wuwei, these five thousand people were actually treated uniformly according to the treatment of Wuwei's regular soldiers. This made their salary much higher than that of ordinary Shence Army. It was equal to the Yuancong Imperial Army, the emperor commanded by Qin Zhao.

As the saying goes, if one person joins the army, the whole family can have a full meal.

Although Qianniu Guards were nominally the emperor's personal army, they completely followed the Wuwei system in terms of management. The military discipline was strict, such as eating empty salary and controlling military salary, and there was no need to think about it among Qianniu Guards. The initial recruitment of some officers fell into a big fuss. To be honest, these people were naturally extremely qualified when they were electing officers in the Qianniu Guards. However, after they came to Qianniu Guards, they brought the past Shence Army into Qianniu Guards, thinking that the military discipline and laws that their superiors repeatedly reiterated were just old tunes.

But this time, they hit the iron plate one head. After the first major review three months later, the matter of these people owing soldiers' pay was immediately exposed, and then more than a dozen heads were hung outside the gate of the Qianniu Army. Even people like Qin Zhao and Tian Lingzi were mercilessly rejected when they pleaded for some officers with a background.

If Gongsun Changming would give Qin Zhaotian Lingzi some affection, Chen Bing and Chu Sheng and others would never have contacted such people, so they would ignore them at all. In their eyes, the military law formulated by Li Ze himself was an iron law, and those who violated the law would die.

In this way, Qianniu Guards were all in awe of fear, and the military discipline immediately reached another level.

The strict discipline of Qianniu Guards made other troops in Chang'an look at each other, but the generous treatment of Qianniu Guards also made other troops drool.

If you lose, you will get it.

If you want to get a high salary comfortably, you don’t even think about it in Qianniuwei.

The strict training alone can make Qianniu Guards complain. Ten days only have a day off, and the remaining nine days, including officers, after completing the day of training, basically the thing they most desire is to fall in bed and have a big sleep. If you go out to play, then forget it! Don’t say that the camp must complete a large set of procedures. Just going out to play is wasting physical strength. How to deal with the next day’s training?

Every nine days is practiced, and every month is contested. Each 100-person team is randomly selected and the lottery is drawn to compete. Those who lose will have to bear the hygiene of the entire camp.

How much time does it take for a camp of five thousand people to just pick up manure and clean the toilet? How much time does it take for the entire camp to clean it? And this must be done with rest time after completing all the training.

With enough money and enough food, there is meat every day, like the happy events such as the birth of a handsome young man and the full moon, as well as drinking wine, the soldiers of Qianniu Guard were in pain and joy.

Chang'an began to dispatch troops, but it was not their business. But all the soldiers still felt some changes, that is, the amount of training began to decrease quietly. The officers who always wanted to train the soldiers to exhaustion were now all in a friendly manner, and the amount of training was one third less than before.

After the training was completed, the soldiers became energetic. In the past, there were many more people wandering around in the camp after the training was completed.

The one they visited the most was of course the supply and marketing cooperative located in the camp of Yixingtang. It specializes in selling all kinds of items to soldiers. More importantly, the things sold here are much cheaper than those outside. Soldiers do not have to pay any money, they only need to keep accounts, and by the end of the month, they will naturally be deducted from their salary.

If the wealth does not flow from outsiders, Yixingtang will certainly not be mean to make money from his own soldiers. Of course, the profits he deserves are still needed.

All of this made Qianniuwei an alternative scenery in Chang'an, and their cohesion and centripetal force on Qianniuwei were strengthened step by step in this seemingly unintentional thing.
