The meeting with Jing Xiang, the envoy of the Eastern Capital, was quite pleasant, but he was still very young and had not married yet, and was just a happy single dog. Zhou Huaian naturally had no chance to meet the Liu family, who was known as the strange woman of the Five Generations.

However, in a sense, the process of getting along with this person makes people feel comfortable and comfortable. In other words, he has a kind of affinity that is particularly good at guessing people's hearts and knowing the details; and it is easy for people to ignore and blur the corresponding positions and attitudes.

Therefore, as a subordinate, such a person can always be very considerate and anxious about what you are anxious about, think about what you think, pick up the invisible and subtle parts; or it is like moistening things silently and indispensable, and exists inadvertently every bit of daily life.

As an envoy, he can be very appropriate and targeted. Even if some sensitive content is spoken in his mouth, he will be able to control the situation with politeness and integrity, and will not feel offended or stimulated.

However, he was respectful and reluctant to the appreciation and vague intentions of Zhou Huaian, but he was reluctant to do so. This was as expected by Zhou Huaian. Anyway, everything is still long, and there are time and opportunities.

Now that the Taiping Military Governor's Office has been established, there is no need to rely on someone's abilities and talents to achieve success; therefore, as long as Zhu Laosan finally gets it done, these things are just a side gain of icing on the cake.

However, in the following days, the second Kanto forces, who began to express their sincerity in exporting and offering to the Taiping Army, were somewhat unexpected. It was Zhuge Shuang from Heyang Town, who also sent an envoy to discuss how to join in with the Taiping Army to cooperate with the Taiping Army in Kanto.

Although the visitor is not as good as Jing Xiang and has natural affinity, his attitude is so low that it also makes people look at him with some admiration. Because the other party not only brought the land and the military orders of the five counties and three prefectures of Heyang, but also said that he could hand over the Heyang Zhongcheng and the North City, which were about to rush to the Yellow River, as sincerity.

What Zhuge Shuang asked for was not high, and it was even lower than the basic expectations. It was just to save the wealth and life of his son Zhuge Zhongfang, and to be a wealthy and idle person in the new dynasty. This is a condition that people cannot refuse.

However, it is basically in line with the corresponding staff team's ability and means to be equally sleek, and has followed many forces such as Pang Xun, Li Tang, Huang Chao, etc., and is easily regarded by the rebels all over the world as their lifelong idol and goal.

Because on the normal historical line, his goal of moving to various forces is always clear, and his need for self-protection is greater than other ambitions to become king and dominate the territory of the vassal states in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties; especially now that he is in his twilight years of old age, the rest is nothing more than the concerns of protecting his relatives.

You should know that under the Five Dynasties system, the position of the commander of the military ranks, as the leader of a military group, has always been a result of being able to go up and down. When the authority of the Li Tang court could still play a role, the commanders of the vassals had a chance to stay in the capital after losing power and being expelled.

However, since the Pang Xun Rebellion and the imperial authority fell, the vassal commanders who gradually lost their deterrence and retreat were killed by their successors in the face of repeated changes of power, and the killing of the whole family by the successor became a normal practice. Therefore, once he died, the chaos in Heyang Town was just around the corner.

The Heyang Town occupied by Zhuge Shuang is the key rush between Henan and Hebei, and is on the side of Duji Road; to the north is the Zhaoyi Army (Zelu Town) of Hedong Road, to the east is the old rival Weibo Town, and to the west is Hezhong Town; it is also a place of four battles coveted by various forces.

That is why we have to rely on the alliance with the Duji-do forces represented by Zhu Laosan in the south to form a alliance with the Duji-do forces represented by Zhu Laosan in the south to become interdependent and mutually protected to gain access to other aspects. Now that Zhu Laosan wants to change his course and join the Taiping Army, Heyang Town has to respond and express his views, which is reasonable.

The other party obviously chose a good opportunity to surrender. Heyang Town itself was at the eastern exit of Tongguan, Hangu Road controlled by King Chongrong of Hezhong. With Zhu Laosan's troops in the eastern capital and the Taiping Army within the pass, it naturally formed a three-sided oppression and threat.

What's more, he sent troops to seize Luzhou, which was in Shangdang, Hedong, and controlled Taihang and the two passes of Taihang among the eight passes of Taihang; some of the bargaining chips were even greater. Even if it was just openly public statements and sidelines, it had a great effect and help in the current situation.

Therefore, whether it is for public or private considerations to provide appropriate assistance, it is necessary to stabilize Heyang Town. Because this also means that the East Capital where Zhu Laosan is located is, as long as he makes every effort to deal with the threat from the west.

With the arrival of the envoy of Heyang Town, there were also corresponding news from various forces in Kanto. Just like the first piece of the domino fall due to the failure of the former prime minister Zheng Ting to save Li Tang, the forces in Kanto also responded and coordinated during this period.

The fastest and most intense reaction were the three towns of Heshuo, which had long been divided into the heart of Hebei;

Among them, Wang Yuan, the governor of Chengde Army, who was fighting with Li Keyong's Daibei coalition and Zhuge Shuang's Heyang Army, for the land of Shangdang on Hedong Road. He first established himself as king in Zhenzhou (Zhengding, Hebei), and set up the country as Zhao, built palaces and palaces, and placed many civil and military officials.

Then Le Yanzhen, the governor of Weibo Town, who sent troops to attack Henan, followed without showing any weakness and established himself as King of Wei, and established his capital in Guixiangcheng, Weizhou (thus being the northeast of Daming County, today) and changed it to Daming Prefecture; and organized various ceremonial wars and the officials were affiliated with.

Then he occupied the northern prefectures of Daibei and killed the Hu people. Li Keju, the governor of Lulong, who was coveting Taiyuan Prefecture in the hinterland of Hedong. He also responded on the spot to raise a high platform to worship the sky at the former site of the Linshuo Palace in Youzhou, and proclaimed himself the King of Yan.

Then, the three kings of Hebei, which were freshly released from the three towns of Heshuo, once again showed a reunion and alliance with the envoys. Under this pressure, the first to react was Wang Jingwu, the governor of the Pinglu Army in Qingzi Town.

Just half a month ago, Wang Jingwu claimed to be the King of Qi in Yidu City, and established a government office to set up a recruitment hall to recruit talents and recruit famous scholars. At the same time, he discussed peace with Shi Pu, the governor of Wuning Army (Xu Si Town), and each divided the Haizhou and Mizhou, which belonged to the Taining Army (Yanhai Town).

At the same time, after retreating, Shi Pu also established himself as King of Han in Pengcheng, Xuzhou (now Pengcheng District, Xuzhou), and established the government as the commander. Qin Zongquan, a thief of Caizhou who was entrenched among the Song, Ying and Chen, actually joined in the fun of establishing the country in Jiaoyi City (now the boundary of Chengfu County, Bozhou);

However, only Yizhou and Yanzhou were left, but Zhu Jin, the governor of Taining Army (Yanhai Town), who occupied the Tianping Army Qizhou, was also not willing to be outdone; thus he established himself as King of Lu in Linyi (now Linyi City, Linyi City, Shandong).

Therefore, Zhou Huaian, who had already occupied a vast land in the south and had already been called King of Chu, actually actually reproduced the title of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period almost in the present.

But this is not over. A few days later, new news came from Hedong. According to Li Keyong, who was in the palace of Taiyuan Prefecture, Beidu, supported a so-called royal family member Li Mi, who had no idea of ​​his origin, as the new king, and changed his first year name to Tianyou.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Xie Yisheng/Li Keyong, a Sha Tuo man, was appointed as the regent Huang Taishu; the guard Taiwei, also the Zhongshu Ling, Shangzhuguo, Hedong, Zhaoyi, Yiwu, Hezhong Army Jiedu, and the deputy marshal of various troops; he was promoted to King of Jin, and was awarded the honorary title of "Returning to heaven and re-creating loyalty and righteous meritorious officials".

It was like a place where the mountains and rivers in Hedong were inside and outside Hebei, and the remnants of the Li Tang regime were restored again. However, this was funny, because it also meant that the Taiping Army captured Emperor Xizong of Tang and Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Li Jie; and the clan Li Qi, the old prime minister Zheng Ting, at the last moment,

In addition to the farce-like "Five-day Emperor" Li Shunxing, Li Shunxing, who had just been sent to Zhu Laosan's eldest son, just now, the fifth "Tang Emperor" appeared in the world, and was in parallel with the previous ones.

Of course, it is a good thing to really get to this point. Because this means that the so-called face and fig leaf of the Tang Dynasty should be broken down, and there is no need to rely on how much appeal and influence there is.

Therefore, how could Zhou Huaian be anxious to deal with it and make a mistake? The eldest son Zhu Youyu, sent by Zhu Laosan, was sent by Zhu Laosan. Because the murder was completely over, how could it be compared to the Taiping Governor's Office who transformed a person whole-heartedly until his father could not recognize it?

However, compared to these chaotic news, Zhou Huaian cared more about the fate of Cao Xiang, the governor of the Tianping Army who was besieged and lost his city and land, and was several times besieged in the lonely city of Yunzhou.

The last news came that Zhu Xuan, the general who led the Taining Army to attack from the east, had already called himself the new governor of the Tianping Army and the Julu King in Qizhou; and the three prefectures of Hua, Cao and Pu, occupied by the Wei Bo army, were also appointed by the Jiedushi Le Yanzhen to be the descendant of the Tianping Army.

Therefore, Cao Xiang, the former governor of the Tianping Army, had three governors of different backgrounds at the same time in the territory of the Tianping Army. Fortunately, after Le Yanzhen and Zhu Jin each claimed to be kings, the so-called union trend was temporarily suspended.

In addition, Zhu Laosan was able to free up his hands in the civil strife in Dugi Province and began to suppress the situation of Xu, Zheng, Bian, Cai and Yin around Dugi Province again; therefore, the situation was unexpectedly worsened in a short period of time.

At the same time, in the temporary inn in Xingningfang, the Hedong Town Mission, which was about to leave, was suddenly surrounded by groups; then on the school ground opened in the forbidden garden in the north of the city, Li Cunxiao, the deputy envoy who watched the firearm shooting exercise, was also surrounded by shield-armored soldiers holding nets and lime.

However, he did not resist immediately and asked in a deep voice:

"Is this the Taiping Army's hospitality method?"

"Sorry, don't you know that Li Ya'er has restored the old dynasty in Hedong and called himself King of Jin?"

"What?"

Li Cunxiao couldn't help but shout:
Chapter completed!
