Chapter 705
"So, our army is still one step late, and the Taiping thief left Lantian and entered the capital, forming a situation of echoing each other?"
Cui Anqian said this slowly, but it made the generals present feel as if the cold wind was passing by, and they couldn't help but lower their bodies.
"But I don't know which pillar of the state is responsible for the interruption and siege in the south of Chang'an?"
"My husband atones for his sins, and his sins atones for him,"
Then, a general immediately bowed down and shouted: Everyone looked at each other, but Zhang Chunneng, the soldiers and horse envoy of the Jinzhou of Hezhong Army, was accompanying him. He kowtowed and shouted loudly:
"It's because our army was too injured in Yanzhou, and the soldiers who walked around were not worth it. Please give me some compensation to you."
"What does it mean to be too much damage and cannot be used? I am afraid that it is because my children cannot take money from the local area and send all their personal soldiers out to cover you up."
However, his words were interrupted by Liu Chonglu, the military patrol officer around Cui An, and exposed them:
"When you volunteered to fight the thief for the partial army, how did you act recklessly? Now why can't you even gather your subordinates!"
"Now because of your negligence, the newly defeated thief army in the city has gained foreign aid. The morale is so encouraging to see the collapse and the loyal and righteous people who are secretly facing the court are about to make some changes again!"
"My husband's clarification..."
Zhang Chun could open his mouth and wanted to tell something, but was already impatient Cui Anqian, and then stripped his robe and dragged it out in public. With a sudden shrill howl, he turned into a bloody head that brought in to find out his true body.
Then, Cui Anqian, who described the elegant and handsome, glanced at the generals who were not too generous and uttered two words to the generals who reported the enemy situation and secret letters in the city:
"continue.."
However, when I heard some of the experiences about the Taiping Thief, it caused another big uproar.
"You have to eat cabbage and eat cabbage in the battle, and you have to fight the Shatu soldiers?"
Everyone's faces, including Cui On, suddenly became a little subtle and strange.
"It's outrageous. These thieves are really...what do you think of our court's official army?"
Some people were so angry that they couldn't say anything, but they were Zhang Yanqiu, the capital of Yuying in the North.
"A mere Shatuhu should be of no virtue and ability, so that the thieves can call themselves to our army's main formation..."
Just now, Zhu Mei, the governor of the Bining Jiedu, also said angrily.
"This is a nonsense bastard, but how do these thieves know that the Shatu tribe, which is still in the north of Dai?"
Then someone became surprised and suspicious, but Hedongya was the one who was going to be in the middle of An.
"Maybe the reputation of Zhu Xie and his son participating in the pacification of the thief chaos in Xuzhou (Pang Xun) was also spread to the thief."
As the Ma Jun, Wang Chan also agreed and began to speculate:
"It's really ridiculous. Zhu Xie's troops only asked for the court several years ago. Zhu Xie's father and son were recently pardoned by the court and redeemed the troops from outside the mountain. Where did the thief army know?"
There was also a Hedong military commander Xue Wei who took advantage of the topic and said in an uncertain tone:
"Is it because of the eyeliner and ears of the bandit army that have already penetrated so deeply into Hedong and even the land of Daibei? This is too incredible."
Then there was an envoy Cui Ze, who showed some hidden worry and said:
"I have heard that Li Youjin from the Shatuo tribe, Uezhou, suffered a considerable setback in Jingnan, and I also retreated seriously. Could it be that this is why?"
Some people think of it as being self-righteous.
Just as they were clamoring and criticizing this, someone had already stepped forward and interrupted:
"What's the use of saying this more? It's just a waste of time."
However, he was the governor of Quan Xiazhou, the leader of Dangxiang Da, and the younger brother of Tuoba Sigong, the governor of Yinxiasui (now southern Ordos), led a group of Dangxiang cavalry to obey the orders of Youzhou Tuoba Sizhong, who saw him step out of the line and bow to Cui Anqian and ask for his order:
"Please give a clear understanding. We also heard that the Taiping thief is famous in the south and has killed all the military generals, officials and gentry. Is he willing to go to the court to test the length?"
"Okay, let's take the Weibei Army, the deputy envoy of Dongfang (Kui), and serve as the supporter and the rear of the palace."
Cui Anqian, who had not spoken and watched the scene coldly, responded with a pity for words. However, he couldn't help but feel a little confused and fearful in his heart.
After all, the Zhu Xie clan of the Shatuo tribe had a past event of resisting the court; their most common style of painting was to be proud of their achievements, rebellious, and disobeying the kingdom. Moreover, they thought that Zheng Cong-sei, the rewards and rewards of the northern capital were too thin, and they robbed the suburbs of Taiyuan City.
However, among the Nandan army today, all kinds of foreign troops also account for a large proportion. In addition to the Shatu tribe headed by Zhu Xie, there are actually the Helian tribes who have become his vassal after the attack and killing of the Yinshan Grand Governor Helianduo.
There are also Pingxia, represented by Tuoba Sigong, the governor of Yinxia Suijie, and the various divisions of the Dangxiang of the Dongshan; Qi Zizhang, the governor of Zhenwu Army, who came from the Protectorate of the Shanyu. As the saying goes, the huge relationship and strength of the whole body is that it affects one move.
Compared with these vassal troops under the control of the Northern Frontier Camp, he mobilized and mobilized the officials and troops of the Five Towns and Seventh Army of Hedong, and almost exhausted the manpower and material resources of Hedong. After each victory, he had to acquiesce the military generals to allow the officers and soldiers to plunder privately to make up for it and eat.
Therefore, Zhang Chunneng, who led a local army in the river, was only at the lowest cost to achieve the effect of deterrence and alertness in the short term; because every delay or delay here would cost a huge amount of money, food and materials in the long valley road to the north.
Therefore, after Tuoba Sizhong and Dongfang Kui took the orders one after another, he said in a deep voice to many military generals under his tent:
"The Seventeen Tribes of the Three Clans of Shatuo are the backbone and support of the imperial court to fight against the thieves. The Grand Governor Zhu Xie is also a former general who has made contributions in the country for many generations. In the future, if you dare to criticize this, don't blame the military law for being ruthless!"
Then he explained to Li Wo, the secretary beside him:
"I plan to challenge Zhu Xie (Ying Sheng) for me, and I say that the follow-up matters of siege and blockade of Shangjing need to rely more on his power, so that the relatives and generals can divide their troops to support him."
However, not long after the military agreement ended, a quick and rapid incident that was rushed in in the hot summer wind made Cui Anqian's face slightly change and shouted in hatred.
"Wang Chongrong's death in this dormitory is worthy of regret."
"Come here, give me a way to go back to the bookstore..."
——I am the dividing line of doubt—
And in Chang'an City, which is still calm before the storm, the continuous team of personnel and materials between the three gates of Nanguo is the most common situation in daily life.
"The prosperous Guangzhou Prefecture, the red flag of the xx army is the first time to create the world. The people have their own soldiers, and from nothing to what they rely on, the great Taiping Army, the great Zhou Dudu, the great Zhou Dudu"
"Two thousand miles, thousands of miles, thousands of mountains and rivers, we will go north to destroy the old Tang Dynasty, raise the green flag high into Xiangyang, and turn danger into safety, the great Taiping Army, the great Zhou Dudu, the great Zhou Dudu..."

Amid the majestic and rippling singing, outside the Taiping Camp between Anyifang and Yanzhafang on the inner side of Mingde Gate, a large number of local people in Chang'an had gathered.
In addition to many small vendors and temporary stalls who came to do business after hearing the news, they were more people who came to watch the fun without any hesitation, because these peaceful thieves had only been here for two days and had already reflected many things that were different from the past.
For example, they have to sing and raise flags every day when they get up; they sing them at any time between breakfast, lunch, dinner and exercises, or read some lyrics with truth and opinions in unison;
In addition to stationing on the top of the city, they basically stopped coming out after entering the camp. Even if they came out, they would pass through the streets in groups, without any signs of falling behind along the way and scattering around the neighboring people.
Even Anyifang and Yanzhafang, which are the most dilapidated shanty towns outside the south of the city, are now even more deserted and silent, have become somewhat prosperous and lively due to their arrival.
Because they started to divide the shifts as soon as they arrived at the place, and they kept cleaning and building the camp and its surroundings; even in the middle of the night, they could see the brightly lit construction site and hear the labor orders that were not extinguished all night.
These Taiping soldiers are like paranoids who are asking for trouble and paying attention to the most. They only took two days and one night to completely turn over and reorganize the two fangqus, which cover a wide area.
The originally bumpy streets were flattened, and the water puddles and holes that were everywhere in front of and behind the house were gone; they were silted and filled with dirt for many years, and when it rained, the large and small ditches that had stinky water flowed backwards were also unblocked and reinforced.
As for those huts covered with messy floors, or houses that were abandoned and abandoned in the wind and rain, they were all demolished into flat ground by large areas, and wooden poles and white gray lines were used to enclose and mark the expected uses.
But the most conspicuous thing is that they used the components transported by vehicles to assemble and build a wooden tower/view deck with several long swing arms.
Therefore, after many poor families who escaped from nearby, after taking their families back to their humble residence, they found that the Fangqu where they were located had changed a lot, and even the gurgling water began to flow in the ditch.
Then, under the leadership of the local Fangtou and Lizheng, another soldier knocked on their doors from door to door, saying that he wanted to hire men from their house to work so that the mountains of garbage and waste that were cleaned up were transported outside the city.
Of course, no one would have believed that such a great thing would happen, but these armed soldiers and horses are so close that they are so armed that they are unable to resist and dare not shirk. Who knows what will happen to these soldiers who are dissatisfied?
So many people had to cry and pull off the family members and gathered at the designated street intersection in helplessness; but they did not expect that after ordering the heads and groupings, these peaceful thieves actually gave each of them a bowl of porridge.
So, the originally worried and worried thoughts were relieved by a lot of a sudden. After they distributed tools and read out the corresponding rules, some people finally realized that this corvee might be different.
Although many people were still clumsy or misunderstood during this initial day, when some people returned home with dry cakes and roasted potatoes hidden in their clothes, they were filled with joy and tears.
Therefore, on the second day, people gathered on the street corners one after another in the dawn, hoping to occupy this opportunity to work and eat for two more meals and give their families some opportunities;
Some people who are very smart even brought half-aged children out of their homes and wanted to stand in a position. But they didn't expect that these Qingqi Army would actually be unwilling to accept everyone's share.
Although some people still made mistakes and were punished this time, some people were rewarded for working hard. Not only did they give them an extra meal, but their name was also well promoted in public.
Then as the popularity gathered, small vendors who specialized in garrison business appeared one after another in the afternoon of the same day, and tried to take over the business timidly.
Because, before that, these Taiping soldiers brought many big carts to the East City, and used bags of copper coins and silk to knock on the half-closed shops one by one, and bought many things in piles of baskets.
So for a moment, half of the southern Guo in Chang'an had already learned that these Taiping soldiers were quite rich and were willing to pay for business with kindness.
Of course, there are some spies and spies who have different thoughts and are just slaves and servants photographed by big families to observe the people who may only affect the situation in Chang'an.
However, as he looked, some criticism and boycotts were inevitably caused by whispering one after another:
"Isn't it wrong? Is it worth it at the price? Are these thieves crazy about gaining and losing their hearts?"
"This thief has a big goal. I'm afraid it's not like this to attract people's hearts and create a reputation and storefront."
"The future is long. In this world's largest city, we will not pull, grab, or find ways to gather; but there are places of spending everywhere, let's see how long they can last..."
"Didn't the thief soldiers who entered the city look generous and kind, and later did they still come into the house and take it from the market to the public?"
