In the north of Chang'an, a small team that had been trying to hide their traces was also running along the Wei River. On one of the tall horses covered in sweat, in the arms of Queen Cao, who was dressed in gray, Huang Ding, the king of Yidu, who was seven years old, was also ignorant, whispered:

"Madam, why are we heading north and not to the south?"

Although he completed his first military career as a displaced person and was protected in the back house for many years, he was able to understand some things in the adult world at his age; such as the separation of life and death between elders and relatives, and the sense of crisis in an extremely heavy and suffocating atmosphere.

So compared to his younger brother who needed medicine to stop crying and stayed asleep while walking; he was quite quiet and sensible all the way, like a frightened little beast, trying his best to endure all kinds of discomforts, and carefully did not add unnecessary troubles or troubles to others.

"South...is there something so easy to go to in the south? I want to go to the south of the city! Now, there are no wars in the east and west suburbs, I'm afraid they're all looking for their enemies, so I can only walk north for a while."

Queen Cao looked at him with some pity and sorrow, and still whispered and honestly:

"This is the life and vitality that your grandfather earned for us with his surname... It cannot be wasted..."

Speaking of this, Empress Cao couldn't help but look at the more than 20 entourages who were accompanying the left and right. They were dressed in ordinary Jingji official troops with ear-clad hats, black shirts, big soapy hips, and uniformly hung standard knife bows on the patent leather saddles. Everyone had no expression on their faces and were sturdy and stoic. It seemed that they were convincing and relying on some conviction. What was ridiculous is that the loyalty and reliability of these people now depended on the Taiping Army's momentum to ensure it.

Because from the moment they ran out of Chongxuanmen, the Xin Dynasty of Daqi that had shaken the world seemed to collapse and no longer existed. Therefore, Empress Cao did not arrange to join Huang Chao, and brought the last guards of the Weihe Mansion who could be called the Dead Soldier of the Huang King, but specially selected the soldiers from the Old Xiaowei. Their interests were that each of them had any relationships and origins in the south, or had relatives and family members avoiding disasters in the south.

Therefore, as long as the Taiping Army fights in the pass, the smaller the probability of them betraying and betraying themselves and others. After all, for the people's considerations that the building is about to fall, they must also be afraid of the subsequent liquidation and pursuit of the Taiping Army in the South, and even harm their families and relatives. Or considering that in the future, the Taiping Army will have the opportunity to continue to retain and seek a future, they cannot help but stop working hard.

So before that, their small team had already dealt with at least three waves without any danger by relying on several official army flags seized in the past, and was questioned by the vassal team from the wilderness. However, with the Dongwei Bridge and its Weiqiao Cang building complex on the bridgehead on the south bank, appearing at the fork in the road in front of them, it also means that a new round of crisis and test is coming.

Weiqiao Warehouse was established here since the mid-Xianheng year of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, during the peak of the Tang Dynasty, various roads in the world transported grain from the Yellow River to gather grain from the east, first gathered in the warehouse and then shipped to Chang'an from the water and land at the same time. Although the transportation supply of grain from the world in the world has been intermittent and changed routes since the Zhenyuan period, resulting in the abandonment of the Weiqiao Warehouse, the remaining buildings have now become an important stronghold for the official army in Gyeonggi Province.

Before they could wait for their team to avoid them, or run down the fields on the roadside and turn to other directions; the government troops stationed in the Weiqiao Cang were already alarmed, and they rushed out several cavalry to slam the horses. At this moment, the leading Xiaoguard also raised his helmet and showed an expression of asking for instructions to Queen Cao:

"Empress, I'm afraid I can't escape this time..."

"Then I'll try to get through it again, and I can't look back."

Queen Cao, who looked haggard after a long ride, said without hesitation. Then, she put on a black lacquered Fan Yang hat, used a wide brim to cover the upper half of her head and face, and then paired it with a gray mattress and bristle shirt, she looked like an eunuch/principal from the capital. The child Huang Ding, who was in front of the saddle, was also replaced behind her.

Then, the leader of the Xiaowei team took out a wooden clip (official text) and passers-by (passing pass) from the bulging saddle bag, and pretended to slap the horse slowly to greet him. In a sense, except for them, not only the horses under their crotch, the armor and the documents in their hands, but from head to toe, they were all genuine official objects that were used in the court.

Because after the former rebels entered the capital, they almost seized a complete set of imperial seals and various objects that were destroyed without time to escape and burn. Therefore, it was easy to make such a suit, not to mention that the official documents during the period were genuinely valuable and signed and printed.

The preparation method for all this came from the first Chang'an War; as one of the many plans for future response measures and self-rescue measures provided by the Taiping Army through the secret channels of the people around us before the separation, the Taiping Army provided the many plans for future response measures and self-rescue methods, which were finally handy, but it was a pity for the end.

In Chang'an City, the Prime Minister Zheng Ting, whose hair had almost turned white, finally got the news that the situation had improved: the tide of the Taiping thieves in the south of the city had been successfully defeated and blocked outside the three urban arches in the imperial city; even the continuous bombardment stopped, suspected to be insufficient to achieve success.

However, he then received another bad news that was lately coming: the conflict between the Shu army and the Western army in the city intensified, and fierce conflicts and fighting broke out in many places in the city; when the direct right Shence army was dispatched to suppress the enemy, the internal strife continued all night, which had caused more than a thousand casualties on both sides, as well as the death of more than a thousand soldiers, including Cao Guangjin, a military commander in front of the Guiyi Army.

What's worse is that the barriers and vigilance between the Shu army and the Western Army caused him to temporarily order the Liangzhou garrison, one of the three directly under Xingtai, to fill the formation defense between the Shu army and the Western Army as a buffer; not only to avoid the opportunity to take advantage of the peaceful thieves, but also to separate the two sides from each other to avoid resurgence of friction and conflict.

However, in this internal uneasy and disputes, Zheng Ting had to spend more energy to deal with the demands and rebukes of both sides at the same time, and the counterattack of the Taiping thieves naturally had no way to launch. Despite this, he ordered the summoning of the relatives of Anxi, Murong Jinda, who was accused of being more reliable, who was stationed in Tuguhun, Hehuang, who was stationed in Huichang County, to take food, and Yuchi Piqi Rama, the king of the Khotan Kingdom stationed in Xinfeng County, led his troops into the city to assist in the war.
