The most prominent and luxurious thing in Yangzhou City is also a day banquet filled with guests.

"Come on, let us raise our glasses for Ling Gongqing... May Ling Gong be healthy forever."

"Thank you, my classmates, for now, I can enjoy the peace again..."

Such voices alternated between cups.

Looking at the loose parades on the streets, the cheers of the singing and the actors who were dressed up in the loose parades and sang in the crowd, the funeral and sang, Gao Yue, the governor of the Chuzhou military commander who came to express his fate and was invited to the banquet, were also sighing secretly.

"Did we really win?"

"Why not..."

This was a sudden sound coming from beside him, but it was Yu Gongchu, one of the Huainan generals who had been Gao Pian for many years. He patted Gao Yue on his shoulder with a slightly drunk face.

"Aren't the thief army driven away by our unity and fighting away... I should be a great congratulations."

"It is the second greatest congratulation to make the public come back and take matters into consideration and deploy various liberation regulations."

Speaking of this, Yu Gongchu looked at him meaningfully and said.

"As for the third major congratulations, it is because everyone can celebrate that we can have a whole body here and have a happy banquet."

"When a big white...

The Huainan military generals Chen Gong, Feng Shou, Dong Jin and Yao Guili present also raised their glasses and shouted loudly. They had their own tacit understanding;

It was because this thief power concealed Huainan that, whether it was the former thief army that ordered the imperial court to surrender, or the local generals and officials in Huainan who had close ties, they all suffered heavy losses, and even their territory and troops were gone.

On the contrary, they were arranged to be nearby to be stationed around Yangzhou. Except for the unlucky reason not to meet the Taiping thief who was good at siege, most of them were able to fully preserve their strength because of this Gao Envoy avoided the battle and could not make any strategy.

Gao Yue was initially accepted by their small circle because he was the son and nephew of Gao's envoy and had resisted the thief in Chuzhou and became a member of these so-called "Yuan Cong Sect" generals.

Now, after the thief passed, Huainan was in ruins, and it was also the time for the great success of their Yuan Cong generals.

.........

Compared with the deformed singing and dancing in Yangzhou City, in Luoyang City, it is hard to hide the decay and sense of crisis that the building is about to collapse.

Although after several hardships, the court claimed that there was still half of the northern part of the world, and about twenty or thirty vassal states could be controlled and dispatched; but only less than half of the court could directly control and order;

Moreover, many of them were captured or separated by the thief; or they were too far away to relieve the thirst; the only thing left to rely on was the northwest and southwest directions. However, in addition to the Sanchuan, which is still known as wealthy, the military towns in the northwest border areas have long required the court's support to maintain them.

Now that the court has no money or food, and is seriously owed the salary of all officials, I am afraid that all soldiers and soldiers will not be able to be recruited or mobilized.

The ten towns in Guannei, with the Shence Army as the core, have been frequently recruited and recruited in recent years, and have suffered serious losses and exhaustion, so it is impossible to send reinforcements to Dongdu for a while.

The eastern capital Luoyang is known as the central hub of national fortune, but in recent years, the famine and fire have been scattered, and there are not many collections to keep. So much so that the establishment of various military camps was actually based on Zheng Qi, who was the prime minister, who intercepted the things that Danei sought from the vassal state Xuan.

As for the Dongdu Liusi's own prefecture, the guards' garrison have long been corrupted.

Zheng Ting worked hard inside and outside, calling on the officials, nobles, grand clans, and wealthy businessmen to donate to serve the country. He tried his best to get a lot of colorful grain, rice, and five or six thousand pieces of silk. Using this as a means of borrowing from the didian and the households of the cabinet, he recruited nearly 10,000 young and strong children in the city and called them "Fentao Army".

As a result, after only one day of full meal, I suddenly heard someone say that I would go up to the city to guard the city and resist the thieves. As a result, I roared overnight, broke through the guards who were holding them and dispersed.

On the contrary, this accident caused a shock in the southern and northern cities of Luoyang. Someone immediately ran around and rushed around with rumors of "The thief army entering the city". In the dark, I didn't know how many people were pushed and trampled on each other and trampled on them.

It was brought until noon after dawn, but it was found that even the officials, guards and subordinates of the offices of the Eastern Metropolitan Branch had already fled for half, and were basically paralyzed in a state of difficulty in implementing government orders.

At this point, Zheng Ting, who saw that things were not done, could only sigh helplessly, and then got on the ox cart specially found by Cui Anqian, and hurriedly and secretly passed the Guangxun Sect in the south, and "retreat" towards Chang'an.

It was only when he arrived at Tongguan that he discovered that the thief-master Zikeran, who claimed to be determined to defend the Eastern Capital, had already led the people to retreat here first.

But I remember Du Zimei's "Tongguan Official" back then:

The railway in the big city is worse than that in the small city, and the clouds are in the battle grid, and the birds cannot cross it.

The father-in-law sees the key, and is narrow and narrow. He will work hard to achieve a long halberd, and will use a man forever.

After he showed his seal and entered the city of Guancheng, he thought of the sentence for no reason: Please ask the generals to guard against Guancheng, be careful not to be a disciple of the elder brother.

At that time, King Geshuhan of Xiping County served more than 100,000 troops from all directions in the northwest, and tried to resist the Anshi rebels in Tongguan. However, because of Yang Guozhong's slander and Xuanzong's ruthless belief in eunuchs, he lost all the way to the Taolin Valley Road, which caused the Anshi Rebellion that lasted for more than 20 years; and the country's dangers that have been poisoned to this day.

Now, this Qi Ducheng has only less than ten thousand soldiers, but he has to fight against hundreds of thousands of thieves. Isn’t it even more dangerous and harsh than Geshuhan, who had heavy troops back then?

Therefore, when he saw the news coming out to greet him again, and Zike, who was quite ashamed on his face, let him leave all his thoughts behind for a while, and showed a kind expression, holding Zike, who was covered in clothes, and let his arm say sincerely:

"I am ashamed of being in the prime minister and being unable to be in the camp, which makes it difficult for the soldiers and soldiers of the army to be ineffective in supporting the thief."

"My husband is really a frustrated man. I'm so ashamed of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of..."

Hearing his own responsibility, Zike Rang and others felt uneasy inexplicably relieved, and Sui was even more grateful and bowed to the end.

"Now, I can neither follow the soldiers to defend the enemy in the formation nor do I have the ability to govern the situation in Guandong. I can only go to the capital to try my best to ensure that the soldiers guarding the gate have no food and clothing, and there is no shortage of food and equipment."

Then Zheng Ting said again.

"My grandparents, Qi can only devote himself to his work until his death..."

Zikejen and others were moved again and agreed in unison.

Zheng Tinglin, who had started again from the pass, looked at the Wei'e Pass City and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although the Taining Army Commander was suspected of escaping at the battle, compared with the other vassal commanders who were called and refused to accept it or stayed behind closed doors, he was at least a person who knew shame and then bravely;

However, it is also the only choice and hope to defend Tongguan natural danger in this difficult situation. Therefore, not only can he not blame the other party, but he also has to find ways to spare no effort to help and support the other party, and thus to encourage and reward them, thinking that it will inspire people and alleviate the crisis for a while.

Then after half a day.

"What, no money or food to transport, no support from one soldier,"

Zheng Ting, who arrived before dark, received such shocking and surprising news when he saw his party and disciple whom he left behind in Huayin City, the Tonghua Defense Commander Xiao Keshi, in which he left behind.

"What are the food for those people in Xijing? Seeing that the thief army is going to kill Guanzhong without any protection. Are they always ready to fight to defend the enemy? Are they planning to sit and wait for death?"

This result made the Prime Minister, who had always been gentle and appropriate, lose his composure on the spot and swear words like a vulgar person.

After all, this also means that the hard work and planning he had in Kanto, as well as the sacrifices he had fought against the thieves, all the time and buffer he had won were wasted and meaningless.

"It's really a big deal that my grandfathers in the court can't argue about this, and they can't get a suitable constitution for a while, but as long as you come back, you'll be fine."

However, this Tonghua Defense Commander Xiao Keshi seemed to have failed to understand his mood, but he was half complaining and half explanation.

"By the way, my husband, do you know that Lu Zisheng has been imprisoned and questioned. I heard that Tian Dayi originally recommended him as the governor of the capital, and was responsible for defending and guarding the country. As a result, he was unable to take the blame for the wind syndrome. So he made the Holy Lord angry in court and stopped the matter. He was changed to Hanlin Scholar Wang Hui, and Pei Che was assigned to him."

"Therefore, the officials in the court took the opportunity to make suggestions, listing 53 responsibilities for the past that Lu's family caused harm to the country, and copying letters from Gao's privately granted them. Therefore, they often took them to Lantai for trial in court."

"We took advantage of the victory and found more than a hundred bad things, and dozens of other followers, Wen Jixiu and others were all lost together. It's so great that our hearts are so heartless."

"Will most of the divisions and transportation and salt and iron yamen currently under the control of Lu's family have been gone?"

Hearing this, Zheng Ting couldn't help but become more pessimistic and disappointed and shouted; he also understood why the court could not raise the follow-up. Although Lu Xie, as a political enemy, was quite frustrated, he was still very capable in sorting out financial plans and the means used by Luo Kuoguo.

If he had been in the usual days, he would have celebrated his fellow party members for this, but now the country is in danger and there will be a disaster of overturning in a moment. Just when all parties need to give up their past grudges and work together, they are busy expanding the usual party struggles. Isn’t this the way to bring disaster to the back of the horse?

To take another step back, even if Lu had 10,000 damn reasons, he should take into account the overall situation after liquidating him. At least he should stabilize the yamen and corresponding officials under his command of the court's financial plan and their corresponding officials for a while to ensure the cost of the frontier army.

Instead of the big fanfare of killing the company and liquidating the company, everyone is in danger, so that the corresponding departments of the court's financial income, income and expenditure and transportation fell into paralysis and powerlessness in name only. Thinking of this, Zheng Qi only wanted to scold these former allies and party members, "It's not enough to make a plan" and "The country's major affairs have ruined all those people."

Thinking of this, he felt a depressed aura that almost vomited blood; but he was forced to hold back by his personal sense of responsibility. He didn't care about the aches and fatigue of running around the road, and shouted anxiously.

"Entertainly than me to transfer to the fast horse, I will go to Beijing overnight and go straight to the central palace to present to the Holy Lord."

However, as the sky gradually turned white, Zheng Qi rushed into the Tonghua Gate of the capital, and received news that the former prime minister Lu Xie committed suicide by drinking medicine in prison.

At the western end of Chang'an City, because of Lu Xie's involvement, he was taken away in court by Lieutenant and Privy Councilor of the Right and Right Shence Army; but he was changed to the command and command of the eight towns inside and outside the Right Shence Army and various troops and horses. Tian Lingzi, who asked to go to Sanchuan to prepare for the service, hurriedly drove out of Kaiyuan Gate with his adopted sons.
