In the vast city of Zhenzhou/Zhending Prefecture (now near Zhengding, Hebei), people were also in a hurry compared to the cold and solemn street markets and the city. In the Meizi Garden, the palace of Zhao King, which had not been renovated and expanded for a long time, there was a banquet scene where even during the day, it was brightly lit and musical, and there were endless guests.

Since the winter period when the mountains were closed down and the army was temporarily stopped, Wang Rong, the king of Zhao, who was the leader of the eleven states of Chengde Army (Hengji Town), was so busy that he could not be called. As the saying goes, it was a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days, and there were additional entertainment and entertainment for the first ten days.

Therefore, most of these days, he was not in the carriages running between palaces or on the white barrier carts, in the hearts of an unknown concubine, or in the wine and delicacies of wine and delicacies like flowing water, and was spent and worn away by singing praises, so that in a short time, his flesh was thicker than his fingers.

In other words, Wang Jingchong, who was strict and fully controlled, designed and assisted him in thoroughly cleaning and mastering the situation of the German army in winter last year; but he was unable to survive the summer heat and passed away; Wang Rong, who could only follow the rules under the shadow of fatherly love, could not help but gradually let go of himself.

Therefore, his first order was to drive away and seal all the women who had been fortunate before his father into the prepared mountain to serve the lower class. Then he concentrated all his half-siblings in the back house to concentrate on "teaching"; only a few sisters with good looks were allowed to follow him.

Then he ordered the governors of other states except Shangdang, the regiments and soldiers, guards and defenders, and defense envoys to come to Zhengding Prefecture to pay a visit and receive an interview; however, when these local officials arrived one after another, he kept drinking and drinking and beauties to win over and treat them one by one, and secretly sent his confidants to lead troops to take over and replace his capital and post.

Therefore, with this open conspiracy to build a plank road and secretly overcome Chen Cang, Wang Rong, while clarifying the inside, he easily cleaned up and settled it without bloodshed, undermining the majority of the other old foreign ministers except for a few people who had already swore allegiance to the public; and used the vain position of Qinggui to provide them as a decoration.

Then, on the grounds that the troops of various departments were reorganized, he transferred the senior generals who were still alive in the Shangdang army and in front of the formation, together with his personal subordinates, back to Daozhen Ding Mansion. He then took advantage of the situation to worship his father Wang Jingchong's mourning hall, and ordered him to express his opinion and swear allegiance with both soft and hard work, handed over his military power and transferred him to his place as a guardian.

Therefore, with the assistance and planning of Zhou Shi, the judge who was the leader and confidant, Wang Rong's series of combined punches almost made the internal and external situation of the huge Cheng German army suddenly refreshed, and began to be filled with the characteristics and personal colors of the new king era represented by Wang Rong.

Therefore, after solving internal and external troubles, Wang Rong was able to devote more energy and attention to Shangdang, and with the Heyang Army occupying the southern Zezhou (now Jincheng, Shanxi), the Hedong/Jin Army in the north Yizhou (now Zuoquan County, Shanxi), the situation was in a row and a chaotic battle at both ends; but then it was like he was as if he had what he wanted to do, and the situation turned sharply.

First, before the autumn harvest, the Heyang army seemed to be ineffective, but began to abandon many cities including Zezhou (now Jincheng, Shanxi) and were about to retreat to a corner of the southern end of Luzhou, and the danger close to the Tianjing Pass was hard to support it.

Immediately before the beginning of winter, the Hedong/Jin army suddenly shrank its troops significantly, and from Liaoshan, Yushe, Pingcheng and Heshun in Yizhou (now Zuoquan County, Shanxi), retreated all the way to Maling Pass to defend. Therefore, the huge lands and cities of Shangdang and the city and the dangers of the pass were almost in a blink of an eye.

However, the good news is far more than that; not long after the various parties ceased to fight in the winter, Li Siyuan, the chief general of the Hedong Army, personally led thousands of elite cavalry to offer Maling, Shihui, and Mangche Passes to join the city. At the same time, it also brought the news that Hezhong Town had been destroyed and the Taiping thieves heading north were besieging the Beidu, the hinterland of the Jin army.

Although this news shocked the Chengde army of Shangdang, it also made Wang Rong, who was Zhenzhou/Zhending Prefecture, overjoyed; because with Li Siyuan's revenge, he also brought four or five thousand cavalrymen, tens of thousands of vassals and horses. As a result, the Chengde army, which was strong in infantry but lacked good horses and cavalry among the three towns in Hebei, was undoubtedly a timely help.

Therefore, Wang Rong strictly ordered the Shangdang army to build and strengthen it, and the many obstacles and dangerous passes had already occupied were stored, and more food, grass and equipment were stored to prevent the peaceful thieves in the Hedong area in the river. On the other hand, he accepted Li Siyuan's surrender without hesitation and moved his troops to the territory of Luquan County, which was in the junction between Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou.

Then he recruited Li Siyuan himself and his troops to Zhending City, personally inquired about the corresponding enemy situation in Hedong and resettlement matters. He was ranked second in the banquet, and constantly gave him gold treasures and wealth, beautiful Ji Liang's house, and appointed him as the Sima of the internal and external governments and the deputy envoy of the Yiwu Jiedushi. He was very kind and friendly.

After all, in Wang Rong's view, Jin general Li Siyuan's visit not only brought Daibei's good horse and cavalry, but also introduced a new force (unexpected factor) into the current pattern of the Chengde army. It can not only suppress and differentiate the long-lasting military ranks of generals and soldiers, but also make them rely wholeheartedly on and rely on themselves.

As for the request for help from Weibo Town, he responded solemnly on the surface, but he was a little dissatisfied in private. In addition to the fact that heavy troops gathered in Shangdang to guard against the Taiping thieves, at least in the eyes of many strategists led by Zhou Shi under his tent, the knights in Weibo Town are not yet in need of rescue.

The mind, courage and means of the Jieshou Le Yanzhen, who had been in power for several years, were far less than that of the former Jieshou Han Jian. Therefore, just a Tianping Army from Henan made him chaotic and busy seek the alliance of the Three Towns; this was simply too ridiculous and ridiculous.

As the Heyang Army who retreated from Shangdang to attack Weibo, Chengde Town is undoubtedly the most direct beneficiary; however, compared with Zhuge Shuang, a five-submit slave who had many officials, he always showed that he was good at taking advantage of the situation, but he also cherished and cared for his full strength. Such aggressive and enterprising spirit is a bit incomprehensible.

Therefore, Wang Rong would rather sit and watch again. At least he had to wait until Wei Bo and Heyang tug at the same time, and consumed almost the same amount, and even when both sides were both in the defeat, the Chengde Army/Zhao Army, who had the time to send troops, could achieve the greatest benefits and the most favorable result. Not to mention the price of cutting land and giving up land, at least Wei Bo had to nominally agree with his subordinates.

Compared with the Wei Bo dilemma in the south, Wang Rong actually cared more about the changes in the Lu Long Army/Yan State in the north. Seeing that the new Jieduan Li Quanzhong had been in power for more than a month, the envoys he sent had also gone to several groups, but never received any response. Instead, the civil war in the neighboring states was about to break out.

Under such circumstances, Li Siyuan, who led his troops to invest since Hedong, became a key bargaining chip in dealing with the Lulong Town/Yan Kingdom. At least Wang Rong did not think that anyone in this world could give this former Jin army general more generous courtesy and power, which made him grateful and cry. Lin dared not do anything to do his best to serve.

Fortunately, when he was inevitably worried about this, Shi Ximeng, a close confidant of the royal family, privately recommended Wang Ruonne, a Taoist priest from the King's Temple in Xishan, Zhenzhou to him. The refined Jiefan Pill and Wangyou Powder relieved his mental illness, and also obtained the method of practicing with indulging in the mood and sensuality as a way to practice.

Therefore, in his spare time, he began to hand over most of his political affairs to the judge Zhou Shi, the marching Sima Li Ai and other close relatives, and he led the commander of the Chinese and foreign military branch office Duan Liang, the capital of Yuhou Ma Ke, the general of the Yaxian Li Honggui and other trusted generals, and also led the army with the eunuchs from the royal palace, which was considered daily.

He became increasingly indulgent in his sects, gathering old and new subordinates, taking turns to have fun, singing, singing, and rewarding, and at the same time following the Taoist Wang Ruone to practice the worldly methods that are said to be able to prolong life and live long. Even ignoring the criticism and morality of the world, his father and sister thought it was a great medicine, and he was determined to remain unchanged even if he was advised by the side of his side.

However, Wang Rong, who had finished his night banquet today, suddenly had a whim on his way back to the palace and wanted to go to the Guyingzhuang where Li Siyuan and his troops were stationed outside the city, inspecting the storm army that was being trained and formed; he had no choice but to quickly summon the marriage camp and the rear yamen, and the inner government followed him.

However, as Xue Ting saw Qing Qing, Wang Rong, who was drunk, became a little stubborn at this moment, and couldn't wait to lead Yidu, the Yidu, the Yiwei cavalry; he left behind many of his subordinates, and rode his horse and rushed out of the west gate without looking back;

However, Wang Rong spent most of his time here, and no one returned to Zhending City until it darkened again. In Zhending City, many missionaries and messengers were sent to Huyingzhuang, Wangmu Temple and other places in the west of the city to inquire, but he never returned and there was no news.

Now, some left-behind civil and military generals in Zhending City finally realized that something might have happened or something, and immediately became a little panicked and nervous. However, because of Wang Rong's usual way of turning around, he was now in a state where no leader and no one could stand up or make decisions.

Just like this, people were panicked and undercurrents, and they waited until the sky turned white, and a small team called the city outside the west gate. Someone immediately recognized it as Su Hanheng, Zhang Youshun and others, who were the subordinate generals of the marriage camp, and hurriedly opened the door and put it into the city.
