In the north of Chang'an City, the north-nin Daming Palace on Longshou Mountain. On the side of the brightly lit Mingtang, there are people constantly going in and out on the towering Lingxiao Pavilion. And here you can vaguely see the smoke columns rising from the North Garden.

In Lingxiao Pavilion, Huang Chao, who was also closing his eyes in front of the wall panel of the colorful cloud dragon treading the sun, listened to the reports of the ministers:

"The Fangcheng Department has already found enemies outside Guanghua Gate, Fanglin Gate, Xixuanwu Gate, Guangxia Gate, and Chongxuan Gate."

"Relying on the great blessing of the emperor, the soldiers and civilians tried their best to repel the invaders one after another, with hundreds of corpses ranging from hundreds to thousands, and hundreds of instruments and flags obtained... "

"The 40th battalion of the united troops in this city has been fully equipped with more than half; it is sent to the fifth battalion of Danei Xiyuan, the fourth battalion of the North Point Liberal Court, the third battalion of Kaiyuanmen, the two battalions of Jinmingmen, the Yanpingmen, and the Kaihuamen...

"Most of the Wuhoutai and Dipu near the four cities and more than ten gates have been repaired one after another, so they will be placed in it by people..."

At this time, the Jingzhao Yin and ambassador of the various gates, Meng Kai, who was present, frowned slightly and said:

"Can't we imitate the multi-arm signal tower used in Lantian County?"

"Report to Shaoyin, this fact is really not enough!"

Zhang Xuan, the Minister of Works, who was responsible for the return, said in a disgrace. He was originally just a small official in charge of the prison and participated in the daily repair and maintenance of the three major issues.

"Lantian County has its own set of corresponding rules and regulations. Those who can understand the corresponding orders must have the foundation of counting and painting! These people who are in the city who are instructing the city can only recognize the fireworks order."

At this time, an internal official in the outside room ran outside to the thick cloth curtain in small steps, and reported with a sharp and sharp report:

"The emperor, the city south defense department quickly reported that a group of people from the south had arrived in Mingde Gate..."

As soon as these words were said, the somewhat dull and monotonous atmosphere present suddenly became somewhat different and the reaction became strong. However, Huang Chao, who was listening with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, but a private minister around him asked:

"It can be seen how many people came and how many supplies, equipment, food and grass were brought...

Then a snow-covered man was lured in and said respectfully in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the six camps came to those who came, about 5,000 people; they had already stopped in Mingde Gate..."

"Only more than 5,000 people?"

"Isn't it a drop in the bucket?"

"At least someone is willing to come, what else can I ask for?"

The ministers present couldn't help but feel disappointed and discussed it one after another: but most people didn't know when, and unknowingly, they naturally put their expectations and high expectations for the Taiping Army.

Then he saw the general continue:

"I have many carriages and horses, and I have no end to see the end of the road. I am still entering the city one after another."

After hearing this reply, the faces of some people present suddenly became a little better. After all, the items produced by the Taiping Army, whether they are well-made firearms, armor and equipment, convenient canned rations, and sturdy and durable clothes, quilts and blankets, are the most urgent and urgently needed in the city.

"But, something happened when I entered the city..."

However, the next moment, the words of this general made people feel anxious again.

"What happened?"

The instructor beside Huang Chao asked again:

"The general who led the army suddenly rushed up the city, grabbed several people including the chief and deputy garrison commander of Mingdemen, and beat them twenty sticks on the spot; he could not take them away..."

The general said hesitantly:

"It's outrageous!"

"How dare you this person!"

"It's so reckless."

The ministers present couldn't help but shouted with enthusiasm.

"Master, can you please stop me first?"

However, Meng Kai, the ambassador of the gates, suddenly interrupted:

Huang Chao, who was sitting in the upper head, glanced around the reaction with a tired face and nodded slightly and agreed. So, more than a dozen subordinates and military generals present had to withdraw from the hall one after another and wait in the outside room, leaving only a few important officials on the spot.

"Tell me, is there any inside story? What is the reason for that person to do this?"

Then Meng Kai continued to ask:

"That's right, because the defenders at the city had delayed the enemy situation and failed to find out the enemy's situation that was attacked by the city, and did not promptly warn them... so they gave the reason for some damage."

Under his bright eyes, the general couldn't help but hesitate and gritted his teeth and said:

Several important officials present rebuked him one after another after hearing this:

"How to do this..."

"What a bastard..."

"Disregarding the overall situation..."

"What a arrogant and domineering person..."

"Isn't this a threat to take the opportunity to...

"Shut up...it doesn't make people worry!"

However, Huang Chao, who had never made any noise in the top leader, suddenly spoke up and scolded:

"The servants are frightened..."

"I am ashamed of my subordinates..."

Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads to the teachings:

"Why are there such mediocre people who are in corpse and have no position in the city? If it is not foreign aid, but the enemy takes the opportunity to seize the city, can we continue to fool it?"

Huang Chao couldn't help but breathe and said again:

"How can you only beat twenty sticks? Xiao Meng took my hand order and went there. The garrison was so lazy that he was seized and imprisoned. He was waiting for a decision soon."

"The Lord is wise!!"

Meng Kai didn't care about the panic of others and his vague resentment at all, and said without hesitation: However, after Meng Kai received the order, Huang Chao sighed again with a subtle look. Seeing that there were not many people available in the New Dynasty of Daqi, he once trusted and capable candidates, but he seemed to have his wish and no one thought about it. This is the saddest and helpless thing.

The instructor around him sighed in a feeling:

"Ambassador Meng is really outspoken."

"You retreat too, let me stay with you for a moment!"

Huang Chao said in a deep voice:

"By the way, I will pick two female geniuses from the court and send them to Mingdemen in the name of the Central Palace..."

“Abide by the order…”

In another place, Li Junru, the prime minister who was temporarily ill, also received corresponding news; but he said to his relatives who came to the door to inquire:

"This is also a helpless move by the Emperor! It will take a day or two for the Taiping Army to be domineering."

"But at least they are the first batch of reinforcements to arrive. If they cannot cut the mess quickly and make a gesture, what do other people on the way think about it?"

"It's just that we are wronged. You should also be more restrained in the days to come, and don't get involved in the related relationships... Remember to remember..."

In Fanchuan, which was windy and snowy outside the city, the Xiangji Temple, which is known as the first temple of the Pure Land Sect, had already moved the army to this place, the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Zheng Qing, also wearing a dark fox fur and a cloak, standing on the thousand relics towers, silently looking at the vague outline of Chang'an City in the distance. Behind him were also a group of generals and officials reporting in turn:

"Old Tang, now that snow is over a foot, it is quite unfavorable for the construction of siege equipment; the pass has been wars and many residences have been destroyed, so it is really difficult to find more large pillars and beams for use... and re-cutting from Taibai Mountain and other places is inconvenient for a while, so I am afraid it will be postponed more and more...

"Old Tang, the army has generally insufficient heat and firewood for setting up camps, and it is increasingly difficult to find the houses that can be demolished and used. Yesterday, there were more than a hundred people in the army that were not good..."

"Old Tang, Wang Jian, the vanguard of the Shu army, wrote a letter from Meixian County, saying that the wind and snow were getting worse and worse, and there were many people in the area who were frostbite and frostbite and frostbite, and they needed rest and rest before they could fight again."

"Old Tang, the Wenshu tribes went out to rob and rob. Xizhou and Ganzhou Uighur tribes said that the bull and horse were weak, so they could only provide teams to go out..."

"Old Tang, Liangzhou Army is asking for a letter of martial arts. I dare to ask when the winter clothes and blankets provided by our formation will arrive...

"Old Tang, the righteousness of the Helong Shimin tribe has been attacking Xianyang for a long time, and even asked to allocate more chariots, horses and equipment to help them."

"The old man from the government office, the Shanzhou (Ledu, Qinghai) of Guiyi Army united with the Long family's Yiju, and encountered the banner of Taiping thieves outside Mingde Gate in the south of Chang'an City. The enemy attacked the enemy in a sneak attack and had returned it."

Hearing this news, Zheng Ting suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice:
Chapter completed!
