The boat was sailing on the rippling wild storm, with yellow and white reeds everywhere, floating on the dead branches and leaves of the river, forming a scene of withering and silence in early winter. Cao Ling also looked at the distance with thoughts, which was where the other Anzhou prefecture was located - Yuncheng.

Because he had the proactive assistance and resources familiar with the old, he easily replenished the water consumption in the Shuipan Town this time, and obtained ships and manpower to cross Onozawa. Even more than a dozen soldiers led by him voluntarily gave up their duties to accompany him.

"Little Yanei, it's great that you can come back... You don't know that since Lao Jieshuai died for the country, everyone's minds have been confused."

But the recruiting officer Li Sanguan, who was on the same boat, was still muttering in his ears.

"I finally recommended the man who stayed in the post, but the dogs in Weibo Town turned around and called him... I thought, if you were still there, how could you lose more than a dozen cities in the Three Prefectures and be beaten into Yunzhou so easily?"

Although he knew that the other party gave up his responsibilities to follow him, he had a motive that was not just a simple request in his heart, but Cao Ling still agreed with his good intentions. After all, he had to use each other's relationship to protect himself from going to Yuncheng to act as a camera.

Cao Xiang also learned from the Yu Hou, named Li Sanguan, a series of incidents and accidents that happened in Tianping's town after his father and brother died in the battle with Sishui, the main force of the Tianping Army.

For example, Cao Shicun, the cousin who was ordered to be elected as the governor of the Tianping Army, was actually only eleven years old this year. Therefore, the power of the affairs of the Jieya was in the hands of the Duyu Hou Lu Guangqi and the Dutuanlian envoy Zhao Hong.

Therefore, the old men and old men who were originally related to the Cao family and their subordinates were gradually demoted, abandoned and sent to those irrelevant ministries. For example, those who were close relatives like Li Sanguan were assigned to the countryside to recruit soldiers and whistle grains.

You should know that as a generation of loyalty to the court, he served as the general of the civil servants and even prime ministers, he was also called the court in the cornerstones and defense areas of Guandong, as well as Zhongwu and Taining. At its peak, he had 33,500 soldiers, and it was not only the preparatory thieves of each state, but also the patrols united their children or guarded them to capture soldiers.

Because of the waters that meet, the Tianping Army not only provides and maintains these troops, but also provides 170,000 ounces of taxes and 170,000 ounces of wine from the court every year, and often offers them to the emperor's Qionglin, and burrows the treasury of the silk, silk, and earth tributes in tens of thousands. It can be said that it supports strong soldiers and obtains enough food.

However, since the severe drought in Kanto, there have been many thieves under the rule of the Tianping Army; and when Caozhou was injustice, the Tianping Army, as one of the powerful towns that are powerful in Guandong, inevitably began to decline.

First, the bandit army led by Huang Chao broke Yuncheng and executed the Jiedushi Xue Chong in public; then Yun general Cui Junyu proclaimed himself as the governor of Liuhou in the local area; launched a mutiny to drive away the Jiedushi Zhang Xi sent by the court, and scared Yang Xuan, who succeeded, to come and perform his duties.

It was not until Cao Quanyue, who was still the deputy of the governor of Pinglu Jielu, led his troops to pursue Wang Xianzhi's bandit army and passed by. He took advantage of his unpreparedness and attacked Cui Junyu, and then ordered Yunzhou and Tianping Army to rush back to the court.

Then Cao Quanshi worked hard to govern the government during his tenure, gathering people to guard for several years, and then he made this chaos place where the thieves in the Central Plains rise, the "treat town" in the eyes of the court, return to the pacification and Xiao'an. Therefore, Cao's fashionable and short-lived life in his tenure was already quite popular.

In his hands, although he had not yet been able to recover the 33,500 military quota at his peak, he claimed to have 25,000 strong troops, and rebuilt the regiments and troops from various states and counties. Later, in order to support the preparations for the thief in other places in Henan and the prosecution of the thieves near the Dongdu, he transferred seven or eight thousand military quota to the court's order.

Before he recovered, Cao Quanzhi was ordered to recruit envoys in Jiangxi in the face of danger, and then he led more than 10,000 elite troops from the Tianping Army to Jingxiang to intercept and block the large-scale bandit army outside the Lingwai. Although he made great achievements throughout the battle, the Tianping children gradually lost and withered.

Although the court also added and transported some of it one after another, after the desperate and tragic battle of Xu Si, the elite and essence of this Tianping Army were inevitably wiped out and all the troops were lost. So much so that the town in Yunzhou was located only 8,000 or 9,000 troops available.

Therefore, when Han Jian from Weibo Town personally led a large army to attack, only some of the Yellow River states that were prepared to rob and train and guard and capture soldiers were almost unable to resist and were as if they had entered a deserted land. In the end, it was the decisive counterattack of Yunzhou that was united in the enemy and fought for the first time in the one-sided Jedi.

However, according to Li Sanguan's words, in order to fight the Wei Bo army's invasion and invasion, the Yunzhou also exhausted all the means. Even the thieves and refugees on Oyezawa were pulled out to make up the numbers after being pacified.

Now, under the control of the Tianping Army, there is only one intact Qizhou and a half-Yunzhou area, but it is difficult to support the hasty gathered "30,000 troops". Therefore, it can only be dispatched to the local area to send people to scoop up money, grain and recruit (grab the poor).

Although Pinglu Town, which is adjacent to the east (Qingzhou), still has enough strength and is also the camp that is closely attached to the court, the Jiedushi An Shiru, who retreated without fighting, returned to Qingzhou and was expelled by the rebellion initiated by the general Wang Jingwu, was still free to sort out the internal dissent and had no time to take care of it.

Therefore, after achieving the results of a preliminary counterattack against the Wei Bo army, the Jieya continued to work hard, taking advantage of the victory to pursue the call and waves of restoring the entire four states. Of course, according to Cao Ling's judgment, there was another reason for this.

Because if we cannot regain more territory and wealth for rewards and offerings, we are afraid that the Yunzhou city, which has finally gathered so many people, will be reborn even if the financial resources are insufficient.

Thinking of this, Cao Ling's desire to return became even more urgent.

At the same time, in Yuncheng, where the army had just started its first formation, Cui Yong, who was born in the Boling Cui family and had a white face and had a very tall beard. He looked quite conservative, also received a group of envoys who suddenly visited.

"I have already said that King Changli (Han Jian) ​​has... I, Wei Bojian, only seek wealth and children, and I will not take any money or land. I hope the chief minister will not mislead himself, so as not to delay the fortunes and futures of the tens of thousands of people in the city."

As one of the Han branch of Changli, Wei Bo, who has a narrow face and a bit elegant temperament, also serves as an envoy, Han Jianxian, is also a lobbying for righteous words:

"I should have known that the Chief Secretary and the Queen of Liu are teachers and students, but if it is Lu, Zhao Er, the day after he returns to his achievements, will the Minister of the Secretary have much foothold?"

"King Changli should be willing to assist Xiao Liuhou (Cao Shicun) in real power, and love his daughter with his wife and daughter. From now on, he supports each other with the righteousness of his father-in-law and son-in-law to wait for changes in the world... I wonder what else would Cui Changshi hesitate about?"

"Little did I know that the court has always treated the ministers who have been stingy in rewarding meritorious people. They did not use the urgent need to reward the titles before they were rewarded. If they did not use them, they would abandon them and pursue fame and fortune. Now they are even more weak and are evading from Shu, but what else can people expect? "

"As for the rebels who occupied the two capitals, they had deep blood hatred and hatred of the family and country from the Tianping Army; can the children of the town be willing to be as good as those without kings or fathers?"

"If you go down the platoon today, Kanto will be full of thieves. Only King Changli of my family led Wei Bojian to rise up accordingly, and would like to connect with knowledgeable people from all sides to fulfill the responsibility of protecting the people, and to connect with each other to protect the people. It is an alliance of mutual protection, and to clarify the situation of the Central Plains."

But after this farewell, Han Jianxian had just gotten into the carriage leaving the city.

"Does the king really want to make peace with these people and protect his balance and integrity?"

Someone around him couldn't help asking questions.

"This is a means of being empty and winding,"

Han Jianxian said without hesitation

"The king still needs time to manage and consolidate the territory of Zhenghua. He also faced the defeat of Juye County in the former division, and he was somewhat weakened. At this moment, I am afraid that all counties in Zhenghua will be a little bit disgusted."

"Since I can't get the method for a while, what if I can just use some benefit to stabilize the situation in front of me? I have been using it here for a long time... Besides, I have already seen that this guy is also selfish and will definitely not be indifferent."

"Don't say that I took over Tianping Town or made it surrender. If it was just some empty fame and fortune, it would make Tianping Town disagree or even be in chaos without fighting. Then I would be able to live up to my entrusted responsibility and make this trip worthy of my life..."

However, Han Jianxian was whispering to each other in the carriage, and suddenly he seemed to have some sense of consciousness and turned over, but saw a team of patrol soldiers returning routinely passing by Xu Ran, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

"This Tianping Town is not a small matter. After most of the troops were released, are there still left-behind soldiers with such appearance and demeanor?"

Cao Ling, who was hiding among the soldiers, also felt something and glanced at the carriage rolling past with the corner of her eyes; but she did not raise her head at all, but continued to cover her face under her flat-headed hat with both ears and walked towards the city.

In the Yunzhou Zi (Nei) City Hall, Cui Yong, as the person involved, also gathered in great enthusiasm, and he could trust his hands to discuss the matter.

In fact, before this, he was just a mere yamen report to the official. Like Cui Junyu, who had previously established himself as the descendant, he also came from a different branch of the Cui family in Boling, and was just a different house.

This is also the natural home advantage of the children of the Cui family of Boling, which is almost everywhere in Henan. Any minister or military commander who comes to Henan to serve or take up the town will always be indistinguishable from recruiting or asking the children of the Cui family to serve under the tent.

In this chaotic world, each branch of the Cui family, one of the five surnames and seven hopes, wants to protect themselves and even survive for a long time, and inevitably obtain the force and status that can be regarded as the one side as the basis for being with you.

Cui Junyu's previous failure was just a struggle for Cui's multi-line betting. He thought he would no longer think about this matter; but he never thought that after Cao Quanzhi and his son died in battle, Cao Shicun, the nephew of Shang Shixu, was brought to power.

As the status and qualifications of a teacher-student relationship with Cao Shicun, Cui Yong, who has always been unknown, has been more important than the side of this young queen, and has vaguely grasped the official business secrets of the yamen. Therefore, under the current situation, he could not help but secretly develop some ambitions and self-desire to expand.

Because, if he acts according to the other party's advice, even if he cannot become a legitimate coach, he can still be a "hidden coach" who stands behind the scenes to manage everything. Therefore, he summoned these people to provide more reasons and evidence for his intentions and thoughts, and more details at night.

What's more, he was not without evidence and support in the army. At least under the means of bribery and solicitation supported by Cui, several military generals have already lost their sincerity, including Zhu Xuan, the newly-promoted general in the front, who had recently risen with military merits.

As the general and vanguard envoy of the Tianping Army dozens of miles away, he was born with a leopard head and eyes, and Kong Wu's strong Zhu Xuan also roared and yelled with his helmet and armor, and rushed into another city that had just been captured/recovered;

However, the resistance he faced was still weak and inconsistent. As soon as the city was broken, the other party hurriedly dropped the flags and baggage, fled from the city gate at the other end. Only some Tumen soldiers who had no time to escape were left, and they were killed by wantonly but were still unhappy.

"What did I say about this? I just continued to advance like this... I have broken the seventh city base, but the corresponding gains have not been lost."

Then Zhu Xuan, who was covered with blood-stained sword, also looked at the messenger who came to pass the order with some dissatisfaction.

"I have an order after staying, please ask Zhu Xianfeng to continue working hard until the entire territory of Tianping Town is restored. The corresponding rewards and military resources will be delivered to you later, but please ask the Pioneer's troops to go to the place to eat first."

The messenger, who was sweating, also responded meticulously.

"Is this the order to stay, or the order of Du Yuhou of Lu Du or Zhao Du Tuan? Believe it or not, I will kill you first, and I will take my brothers to ask for it."

Zhu Xuan couldn't help but grab the messenger's chest on the spot and sneered a little.

At this time, the sound of trumpets of encountering enemies and warnings came from the newly occupied city in the distance. Zhu Xuan then let go of the messenger who was dissatisfied with no one-faced face and laughed and shouted:

"After finally, a thief came to the door..."

However, after a moment, Zhu Xuan, who was standing on the top of the city, could not laugh at all; because in the torrent of the vast army in the wilderness, dozens of general flags of various shapes were surrounded by a general flag with a large "Han".

——I am the dividing line—

On the Shandong Road, thousands of miles away, the Guo family Dingping Village near Nanyang City, Dengzhou, has once again become a large construction site for new construction and renovation.

With the Taiping Army's "Survey Disposal Policy for Hostile Areas", most residents in Dingping Village voluntarily or forcibly moved to other places. This place will also become a new immigrant who has reached the age of inspection and identification in the organization and management area, one of the so-called central villages.
