However, when Cui Anqian, who had been in the Cizhou for half a month, finally got the result he wanted while the messenger ran several times, and took five thousand Xingzhou soldiers on his way back and forth, he heard another bad news.

Gao Xun, the former governor of the Lu Jie, was once again implicated by his general Cheng Lin, and refused to accept Meng Fang's establishment as the queen of Zhaoyi's army, and took over the Jieya and retreated to Zezhou to defend. The people of Luzhou even elected Wu Quanxu, the envoy of the Military Supervision Academy, as the queen of the military affairs department.

Since then, the chaos in the Ze and Luzhou provinces in the mountains of Taihang Mountains resurfaced, and three yamen appeared in Zhaoyi Town for a time. He had to lament that the authority of the court had declined so much, and the desire that was not as good as the people's hearts could not be filled.

In fact, during this period, he sent corresponding negotiators to the three towns of Heshuo, which were conquering cities and territory in Hebei and Henan in the name of mediation. However, the corresponding results were also sad and indignant.

Although Li Keju, the governor of the Lulong Army who had annexed most of the Yiwu Army, was quite obedient and courteous to the deceased and patted his chest to ensure that he followed the imperial court, he showed no sign of siege to Yizhou.

The Chengde Army Wang Jingchong and his son were also etiquettes who received the envoys sent by him; but for the actions that had already occupied the Henghai Army, they could be said to be one-on-two and five-on-one. Instead, they could not wait to ask the court to recognize its fait accompli and use the thief as a threat to seek relevant quarrels and axes.

Even among the Chengde Army, some of them were still willing to provide information to the subordinates of the court that once the Chengde Army completely pacified the entire Henghai Army, they would be eager to look down on Shu and go south to plan Pinglu Town located in Qingzhou.

As for Weibo Town, which had publicly respected the banner of the thief army and attacked Henan, Cui Anqian's envoy had no chance to arrive in front of the army where the commander of Jieshang Han Jian was, and had inexplicably disappeared on the road of walking; even if he proposed that he could pardon the other party and return to the court, it would be useless.

Therefore, Cui Anqian looked around and saw that he had only a corner of Hedong (most part of Shanxi and Yanbian, Inner Mongolia) Road, which could be used as a basis and foundation for fighting against thieves.

Among them, Hezhong Prefecture (Linfen, Shanxi), the southwest gateway to Hedong land, and Wang Chongrong, the governor of Hezhong, had already killed the military inspectors and publicly surrendered the bandit army, and turned around and gradually occupied and annexed the prefectures and counties upstream of the Fen River were still loyal to the imperial court.

The Zhaoyi army in the Shangdang Basin in the southeast rebelled again; it also needed to re-exprove and pacify; what he could actually rely on was the northern capital Taiyuan and Hedong Town in the hinterland of Hedong, as well as the states belonging to the Gudai Beixingying north of Yanmen.

However, although the people of the northern provinces in Daibei are strong and the cities are surrounded by many vassals, they are also narrow and narrow, and the land is barren and the products are not abundant. Like border military towns such as Shuofang, they need to be supported by the imperial court for a long time.

Therefore, he only had the "Jinzhong Basin" where the Taiyuan prefectures were located to maintain and support the Tianbing Army, Datong Army, Hengye Army, Kelan Army, Yunzhong Shouqiao and other troops belonging to Hedong Town.

Therefore, if we cannot pacify the Zelu prefectures as soon as possible and obtain local financial resources and inventory as supplements, let alone going south to fight against the thieves and recover lost territory, even maintaining the tens of thousands of troops under our command will become a problem.

Thinking of Zheng Ting, the prime minister who struggled to maintain and support the northwest situation in Fengtian City, Fengxiang Town, Cui Anqian felt a little sad and secretly sad for a moment.

But his emotions did not last long and quickly cheered up; it was precisely because of the difficulty that such a prestigious family had great potential for them to rise up and turn the craziness.

At least, even if the court is unable to cheer up again in the future, his actions here are enough to set up a Wushui house, one of the six bedrooms of the Cui family in Qinghe, leaving enough people's expectations and foundation for generations.

After all, although he was loyal to the court and was determined to serve his family and country for a moment, as he grew older, the number of children of his clan members and their dependents became more and more, and he had to make a long-term plan for what he wanted and the future of the family.

At this time, a message sent from Chang'an from Guandong made his face look gloomy again. Because Huang Ni, the thief who had occupied the two capitals, had no idea what he was crazy about, and he was enrolled in Chang'an and Luoyang at the same time.

Although they were foolish and blind because of their despicable background, they made a lot of jokes and troubles due to lack of rules and experience in the corresponding "Imperial Examination" process; however, under the call of no particular background, thousands of people in the two places participated in this "thief test".

There are even scholars and lower-class officials among them. This is clearly a further struggle with the court for the throne and people's hearts; and the Cui clan who stayed in the local area also sent corresponding candidates to participate, thinking that the inner supporter and the secret son were.

Among them, two of the Cui family's children passed the initial and re-examinations, and entered the palace with only more than a hundred people left. At the same time, they also sent the thief's test papers to Cui Anqian in an expedition.

There are no great principles of scriptures, nor are there judgments and poems; but questions and answers that are pieced together without connection and order, specific practices and example countermeasures. It can be said that they are far from the traditional imperial examinations of the imperial examinations in the court, and are more similar to the learning of clerks with some details.

But the more this happened, Cui Anqian became more and more uneasy; because he could imagine the tendency of these questions, which was attractive to those officials and students who had been suffering from the incompetence. Then, he was replying to the extra explanation in his letter:

"We must try every means to destroy and disrupt this matter, but we can encourage people to write letters to criticize and argue, and to stir up the water first on the grounds of humiliating the demeanor of the scholars."

However, it was like the truth that blessings never ended. When Cui Anqian came to Luzhou again from Tianjing Pass, accepted the surrender of Wu Quanxu, the military inspector, and was preparing to enter Zezhou again, another news came from Huainan that made him feel a little out of control on the spot.

"The Four Wishes of Taiping? It's really damn. The thieves in the Ling Dynasty dared to express their righteousness in a subtle way. Wouldn't they want to disturb the grammar of our dynasty and usurp the country's righteousness and people's hearts...

At this moment, Cui Anqian couldn't help but feel a little pessimistic and disappointed; in front of the pseudo-dynasty that occupied the Central Plains, there were the choice of enlisting officials through imperial examinations, and in the back of the Taiping thieves from Jinghu and the two ridges, they pretended to be righteous and competed with the court for the grammar and the place of righteousness.

However, the world's loyalty to the court was divided into three regions that were incommensurable and each did its own thing, and he was almost incapable of doing so. However, he made up his mind again: then he sent an envoy north of Yanmen to make all the expediency and convenience to reproduce the story of relay assistance during the Xiantong period.

——I am the dividing line—

In the midst of the wind and snow, a group of troops who had just trekked through a broken Bianzhou area, crossed the Jishui and Baigou had to stop in the Yuanwu Army City next to Huazhou and rest for a while.

Although each of them was wearing thick cloaks and cotton robes, and even their mounts were covered with warm felt blankets; this intermittent winter march still caused this specially selected team to fall behind and lose staff one after another.

Therefore, when they entered the empty Yuanwu Army City, many people were already frozen and stiff and could not even get off the mounts. They used the quickly rising bonfire and fire to roast and knock down the top ice and snow on the saddle and car hubs, and warmed the soldiers against the mounts,
