Four hundred and sixtieth chapters of the beacon fire
"The Northern Army's millions of tigers and leopards will be the emperor.
Once you take the seal and give it to the private party, what can you do to help the court sect?”
"Han Changli Collection·Yongzhen Travel"
"The army of the left and right is the guardian of the emperor, and there are 100,000 troops every year. Since ancient times, kings have frequently had trouble rebelling from ministers, but no one dared to seize national treasures since they were established."
Japanese monk Yuanren's "Travels of the Tang Dynasty's Trip to Seek the Dharma"
...........
Although the land of Guandong is already full of war, the city of Chang'an City still follows the long-standing inertia of singing and dancing, and maintains a kind of daily lifestyle that is constantly singing and singing every night.
After all, since the Jingyuan Incident, no matter how shaking the Central Plains land is, the Guanzhong land can always be roughly safe and maintain a peaceful and peaceful situation. Even the incident of the emperor's re-establishment of the Ganlu Temple Incident is still far from the daily livelihood of most common people.
Although the war fires in Tongguan have been taken over and over again, the still-funny atmosphere in Chang'an City seems to have no decent touch or influence. It even makes self-comfortable word-of-mouth and popular all kinds of auspicious signs and strange phenomena.
For example, some people swear that there were auspicious birds from the sky in the Xuanyuan Emperor Temple on Mount Zhongnan, and people said that this disaster was a national omen and energy that continued to support the three Jiazis of the Tang Dynasty.
Some people also found several red zidians in the residence of the Holy Lord in the house of the Ten Kings, as a reference for the country's rejuvenation; some people also saw large black magpies gathered in the courtyard of Dongyingluo for a long time and did the auspicious dance;
Then, the monks in Fufeng County reported that the relic pagoda worshipped in Famen Temple suddenly became a great deal of light, and the sound of the Sacred Buddhas was hidden, and the statues of the Dharma protectors appeared in the temple with the ceiling, and ordered the scholars to donate and worship it as a water and land Dharma assembly for ten days and ten nights.
However, in the Political Affairs Hall in the Imperial City, there is a bleak, solemn and cold atmosphere that you can feel without any ice in the summer.
"What's the relationship? Daying and Zuozang's treasury are mostly empty, and the rest of the treasury are also old and decaying things."
Zheng Ting, who was once again the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, felt anger that rushed straight to the top of the cap and almost burned his Jinxianguan, and said sternly to the left and right with a cold face.
"How did I explain before I went to Dongdu to open a government office? In order to prepare for the war to fight against the thieves, no one is allowed to take advantage of the security of the people who need it without any action."
The prime ministers and other prime ministers present, including Doulu, Cui Kang and other important officials, couldn't help but look forward to it; then Wang Hui and Pei Che, the subordinates of the Tongshu, who had recently been promoted from the Hanlin Scholar, explained one after another.
"But it was Lu (and Zisheng) who secretly colluded with the nobleman Tian Da from Da'ei and took it away one after another in the name of offering sacrifices and offerings."
"The emperor's internal order is also based on it, and we can't stop it even if we do our best."
"What's the situation with the armory warehouse of the Shence Army? Where are most of the armory and equipment supplies inside? And the horse storage in the Feilong Six Stables..."
When Zheng Ting heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and then became more and more angry and asked sternly.
"This... was actually more than half a month ago, Shumi Tian successively transferred it to Shu. There is an inner armored guardhouse that allows Song Yunxuan to prove it."
The only middle envoy present, Li Wenxian, the middle envoy of the Zuo Shence Army, stumbled.
"There are so many great thieves in the country... How do I deal with it?"
In an instant, Zheng Ting felt that smoke was about to be produced in seven orifices. The sky and the earth were dizzy and threw the board on the ground and shouted.
He finally made a frustration and forced himself to persuade Yanying to confront the young saint who was already in chaos and was in tears in public. He personally came forward to inspect the soldiers of Zuo Shence's army and motivated the soldiers to serve the imperial court.
He also used Yang Fugong to explain the pros and cons, and persuaded the eunuchs from the Dawei to divide the soldiers of the Shence Army who were guarding the capital, and went first with about 2,800 crossbowmen to support the defenders of Zikerang, Tongguan.
He ordered the General of the Left Army, Zhang Chengfan, to be the vanguard of the army and the commander of the interceptor of the Tongguan, and from then on, he led the team to set off first; the General of the Right Army, Wang Shihui, to set up the food and material commander of the pass, and Zhao Ke, the General of the Left Army, to serve as the commander of the gate and the commander of the left army, to serve as the commander of the gate and the commander of the army and horse, to serve as the commander of the gate and the commander of the left army, to be the commander of the gate and the commander of the army and horse; he thought it was necessary for subsequent transportation and defense.
However, he never thought that he would do his best to fight against the bandits in this rear, but Tian Lingzi, the eight towns inside and outside the Shen Ce Army and the troops in the left and right, and the command and control of the troops and horses, once again gave Tian Lingzi a hard trick.
Now that the imperial court's treasury has no money or food, and all the envoys of the salt and iron transport are paralyzed, wouldn't he break his promise to the soldiers fighting against the enemy in front?
In contrast to the scene of being furious or inconsistent, it is a press conference from Zike Rang on the table, which reads:
"Huang Chao has entered the Eastern Capital. I have collected troops and retreated to Tongguan and set up camps outside the pass. The soldiers have fought many times, and have been short of capital and reserves for a long time. The prefectures and counties are destroyed, and the people are in short supply. There are no kings in the east, west, south and north. They are frigid and forced to fight, and their weapons are ill. They miss their hometowns, and they are afraid that they will collapse. They are begging for early delivery of resources and reinforcements."
And at the same time, the Shen Ce Army in the palace was stationed.
Song Yunxuan, the round-shaped inner armored guardhouse, also struggled desperately by several large-shouldered and round-waisted soap armored soldiers, covered their mouths and raised their heads and necks in a prepared pair of slings.
"I'm really sorry. The matters in this matter are so much involved, so I can only stop here."
Then, the most mature inner messenger also looked at him with a compassionate face, struggling and thrusting on the beam, Song Yunxuan sighed:
"In the current crisis, even Ambassador Tian himself cannot join forces with any of the envoys Zheng and Deputy Envoy Yang; if you cannot commit suicide in time, you are afraid that all of us will not survive..."
On the banks of the Ba River outside Chang'an City, Zhang Chengfan, the general of Shence who had just crossed the North Ba Bridge, immediately looked back at the glorious Chang'an City again, and the marching queues behind him that were not very neat and even loose.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Is the athletes carefully selected from the Shen Ce Army, which is well-raised by the country, like this? But I remembered the advice I had come to the Zhangxin Gate Tower and summoned the Holy Lord before parting.
"I heard that Huang Chao had hundreds of thousands of people, and the drums were walking west. Qi Kerang relied on the outside of the pass with tens of hungry soldiers. He sent me to station more than 2,000 people at the pass, but he had not heard of it as a plan to pay the money to resist the thieves. I am secretly disappointed. I hope that Your Majesty will be interested in the elite soldiers and armors to support him."
And the Holy Lord's reply was quite vocal:
"You are here for the first time, and the troops are here!"
...........
In the imperial city of Luoyang, Huang Chao was also sighing, he was truly worthy of being the most important town of the Eastern Capital. Just these scholars and people in Luodu donated so much to reward the people who spontaneously donated.
He actually raised 100,000 yuan in money, tens of thousands of pieces of silk, tens of thousands of kilograms of gold and silver utensils and other goods overnight. Liu Yunzhang, the deputy left-behind of Dongdu, was also a very tactful figure.
Although he ordered not to disturb the yard, he only took the palace and camp to stop; but he still used a ox cart to carry hundreds of women into the camp to serve, claiming to be admired by the generals of the rebel army. It is said that there are many women from the family of officials and even the five tribes.
Therefore, with such a considerate and conscious current affairs, he didn't mind maintaining a situation where the military and civilians were "a rebel army entered the city, just asking questions, and staying in the neighborhood".
But even though everything is good in Luodu, how can it compare to the prosperous scenery in Chang'an, Xijing where the emperor stopped; it was a place where he once dreamed and regretted it; it was also where the scenery was reappearing with pride. Therefore, his footsteps would not stop here for a long time.
Of course, the difference from the practice of walking all the way in the past is that wherever the rebels pass, he has appointed many various left-behind (big prefectures), guarding (small prefectures), garrisoning (county) and other official positions in the name of the General’s Mansion.
In some important places, he also left behind a capable and reliable leader of the rebel army to guard for a while. For example, the governor of Caizhou, Qin Zongquan, who was very conscious and brought his men to help the war, was re-appointed by him as the governor of Wuzhou in Huaibei.
Liu Hanhong, who later agreed on the conditions, also gave up his territory in Henan with his men and went to Huainan to be his southern governor and Huainan envoy. Now, the Duji Prefectures in the Guanluo Plain naturally cannot be easily left behind or left behind.
However, the candidates who stayed behind Luodu and guarded the states need to be carefully considered and weighed.
"King, the Zihuan Palace has been arranged and I am waiting for the ministers to come and meet you..."
At this time, Cui Miao, the etiquette envoy, respectfully asked for instructions.
"Tell them to take a little bit of it..."
Huang Chao couldn't help but waved his hands. With the support and tidying of several maids, You Zi compared his figure in the big bronze mirror, and seemed to feel that there was something missing between his gorgeous clothes and robes.
"King, Zhuge Shuang of Heyang has already offered his surrender, and sent Liu Jing, the general, to lead 5,000 troops to help the war. I'm waiting for the king to take over the southern pass of Heyang (qiao)..."
Another secretary Huang Rui stepped in and reported in a low voice.
"Yes, I passed my order to grant him the title of Hebei governor, the commander of the north, and the governor of Heyang, everything under his rule as usual."
Huang Chao couldn't help but praise him. After all, this was the first time the court had surrendered to the vassal state. Even the small state that guarded the gateway to the north of the eastern capital was undoubtedly a morale and inspiring beginning.
"But I don't know who the king is going to send to guard the southern pass of Heyang..."
Huang Rui continued to ask for advice in a slight manner.
"That's it..."
Huang Chao thought about several names but then negated them; in the end he was frozen on a newly performed face.
"Let that Zhu San bring the former army's cavalry to garrison..."
It was he who caught Cao Xiang who was running for help, and led his men to intercept the official cavalry in the formation, which made the old man Cao lose his chance to escape and give him the head. He was the first to rush into Duji Road, and Luo Du, who was shocked, did not dare to act rashly until the formation arrived.
It can be said that he is a brave and resourceful person. Unfortunately, because of his brother, he has been vaguely suppressed and rejected by his relatives represented by the "Eight Sons of the Yellow Sect" and the "New Affiliates" led by Cui Miao;
This time he was also given a chance to compensate and stand out, and he also beat and warned both sides. Seeing that he was too proud to drive into Guan Mo. Therefore, he interrupted Huang Rui and Cui Miao's objections without any explanation and continued on his own:
