Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty-Eight: Bow, Ya, New Taoist, Ma Can (Continued Four)

"After being benevolent, he went back to Jinguan City... However, the Tian family was separated from the ditches, and the party of the yamen, Tian Fengen, and Chen Congxun led the troops to attack. The internal ban made Zhou Bao's few soldiers unable to resist, so he went out to Xilingmen...

"In order to block the city, Renhou then asked the (Sage) Lord to tell him to his face, he could not hear it at the top of the city and returned it with crossbow arrows. Renhou's troops had only a few food and were short of equipment, so he was sent to the sage to capture the baggage and brought it back to Hanzhou for food."

"The Tian family punished all the people under the ban, but only Huang Er, a child from the Food Bureau, was spared. He also arranged a knife and axe to order the ministers and bans to go to court, saying that the lord had issued an edict to order King Mu (Li) Yi to take the court for a while...

"There are censors and officials (Liu) and scattered cavalry officers (Gao) and officials (Lin) and Jing who refused to accept them, so they took off their clothes and dragged them out to kill them. The crowd looked at each other and said silently. Then they made a book to ask about the crime of benevolence, took them back to the throne, and went to order the three rivers to challenge them together."

"The Lord expressed his kindness as Duke of Liang, the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe, the general manager of the Three Chuandu Jiedu, and the inner envoy Liang Chuhou was the envoy of Guanjun, so that he could still fight. Before the spring was over, the war between the two Sichuans would prosper again."

"Jianchuan Rising and Chaos" by Zheng Gu

——I am the dividing line—

After escaping from Chang'an, Gao Yu and his party, the plenipotent representative of the Taiping Grand Governor's Office, sent ships south along the Bashui, which had begun to shatter and melt on the ice. Except for two large ice-shattering impacts and water inlet accidents, they did not encounter decent obstacles or interceptions.

Although the ice and snow have begun to melt, the land of Guanzhong in late winter is still a deserted and withered and silenced tones. The pedestrians on the road are almost extinct, and those who come and go by are all rushing past military horses, or escort teams that trek slowly in the snow and mud.

As for the cities, towns and villages along the way, there are mostly lifeless people and traces, and they have no effect on the world's prosperous hinterland and the meteorological and pattern near the capital. It also looks like the Chang'an City in Zoumazhangtai, which is like two different worlds in the world in the next world.

The only common point among them is probably that the frozen and starved bodies that are more or less piled outside the city gate, allowing wild dogs and crows in the country to enjoy, and the corpses that are starving to death make a spurt of creepy hissings.

But Gao Yu still had many regrets and sighs in his heart. He did not feel sorry for those valuable goods and money orders that remained in the store, nor was he worried about the possible criticism and prosecution he might be after returning. The Governor clearly stated from the beginning that all actions should be to protect his own safety first.

However, as a tea merchant from Huaiyang, he rarely got such a good stage and opportunity to play his life's strengths. However, he failed to do his best and only completed most of the layout and connections, and was forced to flee back.

Although he vaguely knew that the Taiping Army must have other hidden threads and chess pieces in the city, they had nothing to do with him. His only task at the moment was to return safely to Shannan with the books and rosters he had collected these days.

After all, although it only took more than a year and a half, it was enough for him to develop corresponding channels and connections in private. This was different from the in-depth contact with the senior leaders of the Rebel Army headed by Liu Tang, and it was not like the exchanges of other powerful Rebel factions mainly on the exchange of interests.

Instead, he opened secret channels and various sources of information among the Taiping Army's family through his mid-to-high-end luxury goods such as jewelry, incense, powder, pigments, brocade silk, wine, honey, etc.

After all, these senior officials of the Great Qi Dynasty and powerful rebels rushed to investigate the wealthy and noble officials' homes and occupy a wealthy and beautiful house. In order to match these places and new identities, they took more concubines and kept more slaves, and the servants thought they were serving.

The pompous pursuit and comparison of these upstarts in Daqi, as well as the various daily utensils and cosmetics required for their families' food, clothing, housing and transportation, are indispensable for the various products provided by places ranging from far away to Guangzhou, Jiangxi and Huainan.

Therefore, these nobles and powerful military generals of Daqi will certainly be wary of their colleagues and superiors; but few can hide their voices from relatives and even those by their side at hand at all times.

The clues of many things are hidden among the countless pieces of this word; then through those servants who are running around, they slowly gather in several eastern market strongholds controlled by Gao Yu.

After all, compared with those families who have been raised by wealthy families for generations, these people are obviously more likely to be impressed and bought by small favors. And those concubines who are voluntarily or forced to "commit themselves to thieves" also have the motivation to secretly seek benefits and utilitarianism.

So after these times, although he had not yet reached the level of the Five Majors of the Political Affairs Hall, he had also achieved many achievements in the new dynasty of the Great Qi Dynasty. Among them, the highest-level existences include the personal servant who is the Censor Zheng Hanzhang for a moment, and the new favorite of Pingkang who observes the military appearance of Lin Yan...

Therefore, he can have more room and opportunities to play on the spot in some designated tasks and collaboration matters. For example, providing some cooperation for the escaped scholars, or appropriately adjusting some reciprocity projects; unfortunately, all this will be temporarily interrupted.

Gao Yu, who had a sallow face and a beard, was thinking so much, and suddenly the boat stopped in a row of vibrations. Then a young follower walked in and said, "Master, the water surface in front is blocked by the silted ice edges. I am afraid that I can't go there and go ashore."

"It's okay, we're afraid that we've reached the territory of Lantian County, and we're not going to have to do this section of land."

Gao Yu made a quick decision.

Then they stepped on the crisp ice surface of the sledge and slowly pushed the sledge loading objects in a still frozen shallow, and slowly rewarded the slopes on the shore.

At least the energy of being one of the prime ministers of Daqi was enough to prepare enough dry food, wine and warm items on the boat. Therefore, here they became a group of traveling merchants who were busy and hard.

However, just as they were bypassing Lantian County, they heard an unexpected news among the crowds stranded and backlogged in Lanxi Post nearby. Many merchants tried to negotiate and handle matters, but were detained and never returned.

Gao Yu couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that the people in Chang'an City had already been chasing here? Then he continued to inquire, but it was already five days ago. At that time, he had not yet decided to have a banquet with Liu Tang.

And Shangluo County is located in the spacious valley at the other end of Lantian Valley.

The Taiping Army sent the commander Wang Xingkong to fight against the enemy that was coming like a tide on the fruitful city gate tower; who would have thought that the disputes and conflicts that occurred in Shangluo City, which was a transit trade point, were actually ambushes and traps against him.

Not long ago, a horse team bypassed the county town and headed straight towards Wuguan in the valley south. This made him increasingly anxious. However, at this moment, he could only maintain open calmness and strive to maintain his position and line.

Then he comforted Zhou Mengnan, the general of the rebel army in the city who fought side by side with him, and the other party was born with an Angkang figure and a thick beard, with obvious appearance as a Hu people from the Frontier. He was just unable to hide his sad face and danced his sword and said:

"I'm losing a lot now. Maybe I have nowhere to go in the future, and I will rely on your care in the future..."

"Brother Zhou, even if you feel at ease, my Taiping Army will never treat anyone who has made meritorious."

Wang Xingkong waved his knife and drove a flying arrow, knocking back the enemy soldiers climbing upwards, while saying sincerely.

These enemies were too bold and reckless to break the world's ruthlessness and openly broke it. The Taiping Army controlled the local rebels overnight in the tacit understanding and trustworthy atmosphere that the rebels in the pass have always maintained, and carried out such sneak attacks and ambushing activities.

If it weren't for the earliest contact with the Taiping Army and participating in the escort for a long time, Zhou Mengnan, who had been in charge of transporting and transporting, suddenly escorted the local representative Zhang Guihou, broke through the obstacles and blockades to report and warn.

In addition, in the hands of the people he brought, there was a reinforcement group equipped with firearms to deter and suppress the situation. He immediately dropped bombs and set fire to open the road; he was afraid that he would really get stuck in it and be out of control. Despite this, Wang Xingkong was still trapped on this city tower in disguise.

The rebels originally belonged to Shangzhou also suffered serious divisions and confrontations, and only a small part followed Zhou Mengnan and stood on the Taiping Army; while most of the others were forcibly captured by foreign enemies and driven to attack and kill.

On the opposite city tower, a familiar figure of Wang Xingkong was also orderly commanding:

"Is it still impossible to attack? Then I will drive the local soldiers to step up their attacks. If there is a winding and unforgettable killing on the spot, I will just use up the opponent's firearms and it will be easier to clean up."

"Also, don't intercept the messenger who fled for help. I also hope to transfer more people out of Wuguan, so that we can save our fellow soldiers from building equipment and hard and strong city and high walls..."

In Chang'an City, as the General of Zuowei Guard who was in charge of Shangzhou Defense Zone, he attacked Ji Kui from the south. He also brought his entourage from the camp that encircled and suppressed the thieves in Taibai Mountain, and returned to Chang'an City angrily, and rushed past Zhuque Street without stopping.

He rushed to Danfeng Gate, and was stopped by Gonghuan Army, who was holding a spear and wearing a purple burqa. Then, there was a rushing imperial city inspection envoy. The General of the Zuo Jinwu Guard, Bai Risheng, stood on the gatehouse and shouted loudly:

"Snake Eyes, are you crazy about gaining something? Do you actually want to hit the palace ban?"

"Don't stop me, I just want to ask the emperor for an explanation... Why do you make people take my defense for no reason? Kill my troops..."
