Chapter 277 Chaos in Chang'an

The news that the Hedong Army crossed the Yellow River and surrounded the Tongguan Army spread to Chang'an in just one or two days.

The Fengxiang Army and Bining Army stationed in Chang'an were shocked. Because Zhaozong did not respond to Li Maozhen's letter, Li Maozhen did not give Li Jijun instructions either.

The two left-behind armies started to mess up in Chang'an, and at first they were violent and robbed, which triggered riots in Chang'an.

Wang Xingyou led his troops to Daming Palace, intending to take the emperor as a hostage, leave Chang'an and return to Binzhou.

When Li Jiyun learned that he also rushed to the Daming Palace with military strength. He knew that his adoptive father and Wang Xingyu had a rift. If Wang Xing asked him to make an appointment to rob the emperor, he would not be able to explain to his adoptive father.

The two armies encountered each other outside the Daming Palace, and they faced each other in a disagreement, and thousands of troops fought together.

Zhaozong in the palace was rewarded and fled in fear. The emperor escaped from Chang'an City and made a quick decision to go straight to Zhongnan Mountain.

There was a riot in Chang'an City, and rumors spread, saying that the Bining army and Fengxiang army were coming again, and the emperor had already fled. Therefore, the people of Chang'an were frightened and dragged their families to escape from disaster.

In July, the sun was scorching and the heat was extremely hot, and it was also a once-in-a-century high temperature.

More than 100,000 Chang'an people fled, and 30% of them died of thirst, heat stroke, and thieves committed murder, robbery and murder. People were crying everywhere.

Under the protection of the imperial guards, Zhaozong fled to Shimen Mountain and settled in the Buddhist temple on Shimen Mountain. He was in a mess and had a loss of dignity.

After resentment and thought, Zhaozong issued an order to recognize the killing of Li Xi, which had nothing to do with Li Maozhen and Han Jian. He sent an order to request the Hedong Army and the Hezhong Army to fight against Wang Xingyu with all their might.

......

The governor's office was directly under the Yuzhou Governor's Office. The scout of the southern Sichuan Army hidden in Hanzhong confirmed that 50,000 Fengxiang troops were heading to Fengxiang Mansion. They divided the two of them on a boat and went down the Jialing River to report military information to the governor's office.

The Governor's Office immediately issued a military order, and the Fuzhou army sent 10,000 troops against the river to Rongzhou.

Tian Wen'er, who was hiding in Dousha County, commanded 40,000 troops to wait for the fighter plane, including 20,000 troops, and 20,000 troops to mobilize the gathered roundabout forces.

After obtaining military information, Tian Wen'er ordered a war, and 40,000 troops left Dousha County and passed through Rongzhou to govern Shunan County.

The commander Lu Qing, the commander of the commander, commanded 20,000 troops, and was under Tian Wen'er heading north to attack Xichuan.

The 60,000 army in southern Sichuan was sturdy and headed north along the Minjiang River, one of the sources of the river, into Jiazhou, Xichuan, and arrived in Longyou County (Leshan), the capital of Jiazhou.

Longyou County is the place where the Dadu River and Minjiang River converge. Since ancient times, it has been located in the river and is basically suitable for survival and prosperity.

Before the 60,000 troops in southern Sichuan arrived in Longyou County, the 10,000 Fengxiang troops guarding Jiazhou evacuated in a hurry.

The army in southern Sichuan was stationed in Longyou County for a day and continued to go north along the Minjiang River to enter Meizhou. The 10,000 troops from Fuzhou were stationed in Rongzhou to prevent Wang Jian or Nanzhao from taking advantage of the situation to attack.

The army arrived at Tongyi County, the capital of Meizhou, and the enemy troops in Meizhou shrank and defended the city.

Tian Wen'er did not attack the city, and the army besieged the city for one day and continued to head north the next day, heading straight to Chengdu.

Only by taking Chengdu with all your heart can you gain an advantage and curb the Fengxiang army's counterattack.

The army in southern Sichuan advanced all the way, and it was unscrupulous, and it was even more popular. Fengxiang Jiedushi Li Maozhen and Bining Jiedushi Wang Xingyu, the army entered Chang'an and threatened the emperor and killed the prime minister again.

The emperor was frightened and furious, dismissed Li Maozhen from Xichuan Jiedushi, and served as Prime Minister Liu Chonggui as Xichuan Jiedushi

.

The governor of Xichuan, Liu Chonggui, was ordered to take over and inform the soldiers and civilians of Xichuan that as long as the moderate waiter and see, after taking office, the landlords will not change and their official positions will not be lost.

Who is Liu Chonggui? An old minister of the Tang Dynasty, served as the Minister of Revenue of the Court, and was the Minister of the Central Secretariat. He once left an inscription on Zhaojue Temple in Chengdu. He was highly respected and a great literary master of his generation, and was highly trusted by the court.

......

Chengdu received urgent military reports. Although Li Jipeng, the chief general of the garrison, was surprised, but not panic.

Chengdu has a remaining military strength of 20,000, plus the 10,000 troops that Jiazhou is retreating, 30,000 troops are enough to defend Chengdu City.

In addition, there are 40,000 Fengxiang troops stationed in the front line of Luzhou and Yuzhou, and local regiment training in various states can gather, with a total available force of no less than 100,000.

The southern Sichuan army attacked 60,000, but could not capture Xichuan in the short term.

Li Jipeng discussed with his confidant and ordered the mobilization of most of the nearby states to gather in Chengdu, and asked someone to inform Fengxiang Prefecture of military information and asked his adoptive father Li Maozhen to dispatch troops to support Xichuan.

As for the 40,000 troops stationed on the Yuzhou front, Li Jipeng had no right to control the mobilization, but he also informed people of military information.

When 60,000 southern Sichuan troops entered the territory of Chengdu, Li Ziqi led his subordinates to outside Chengdu.

Li Jipeng was inspecting the city defense. He heard that Li Ziqi would come to see him. Li Ziqi and his two subordinates entered the city and climbed the city gate tower.

"Maozhou Defense Commander Li Ziqi, pay homage to the Deputy Governor of Jiedu." When Li Ziqi saw Li Jipeng, he paid homage to the military service.

"Li Ziqi, why didn't you go to Fengxiang Mansion?" Li Jipeng asked.

"Go to Fengxiang Mansion? My subordinates only received military orders to return to Chengdu. It turned out that the lord asked his subordinates to go to Fengxiang Mansion. My subordinates will set off now." Li Ziqi said.

"Okay, there's no need to go to Fengxiang Mansion, stay to defend the city." Li Jipeng said casually, turned around and continued to patrol.

"Subordinate obeys the order." Li Ziqi responded. He was not worried that Li Jipeng would suspect him. Most of the Qiang tribes in the border areas of Maozhou, so it was normal for the urging officers to have an accident on the way.

"Okay, let's stay here for a while. The brothers have not eaten yet, so hurry up and receive military expenses and military pay. If you don't give it, we will go to stay in the city." When Li Jipeng walked away, Li Ziqi shouted the order, and the two subordinates responded loudly.

The head of the city gate met Li Ziqi's request. At this time, he did not dare to push back and forth, and he had to give him enough. Otherwise, if he could not eat enough and his legs were weak, he would become a crime of greed.

Li Ziqi's thousand troops entered the city in a mess, climbed up to the city wall, and was responsible for the defense of 200 meters.

Li Ziqi held the female wall with her hand and looked into the distance with anticipation. After so much aggrieved, she was about to make a comeback. As long as the inner response was successful this time, Wei Fufeng would definitely not treat him badly and would at least be named a marquis in the future.

Li Ziqi is quite rational about rewards and has long known Wei Fufeng's rule model.

Wei Fufeng was able to treat meritorious officials well, but he was also afraid that meritorious officials had too much power and had decentralized power under his rule. Even if he was given the position of Jiedushi, he would probably have many constraints and had nothing to do with a false reputation.

Li Ziqi is not a stubborn person. He also has the ambition to make achievements, but he has never had the opportunity to monopolize power. His father is just a chief clerk of the Shen Ce Army.

Li Ziqi thought of becoming the adopted son of Quanjian, but his father did not allow him, saying that Quanjian could not have a long-term person. Once he lost power, most of the dependents would be buried with him.

Li Ziqi did not want to implicate the family to perish, suppressed the idea of ​​seeking quick success and instant benefits, acted in moderation, and never flattered the power supervision, but based on his father's

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Connections, their own talents, and the marching Sima who is valued.

Although he served as a marching Sima, most of Li Ziqi's power was undermined by Yang Shouliang, because he acted in moderation, he said something bluntly and never complained. Yang Shouliang did not reject Li Ziqi, but he could not rely on it as his confidant.

When attacking Jinzhou, Li Ziqi volunteered to infiltrate. At that time, he underestimated the risk. The reason for volunteering was to obtain credit.

Once Yang Shouliang took over Jinzhou, the court was shocked. Yang Fu respectfully took over the power of the court, and he would inevitably promote the soldiers who had made contributions. It can be said that it was an opportunity to achieve success.

But unfortunately, he was defeated miserably and thought it was difficult to survive. He did not want to be released by Wei Fufeng. If he escaped from death, he would inevitably be surprised and grateful in his heart.

When Li Ziqi returned to Xingyuan Mansion, he knew that Yang Shouliang would not last long, but he could only act according to the opportunity. At that time, he had not considered joining Wei Fufeng.

The reason is simple. Compared with other feudal vassal states, no one is willing to surrender to the forces with dim prospects.

Li Ziqi breathed lightly, smiled at the corner of her mouth, feeling glad for her original choice.

Facts have proved that if Fengxiang Army surrendered, it would not be reused at all. The original general of Fengxiang Army rejected and despised the surrendered.

Li Ziqi was pretty good, but he incited thousands of troops to surrender to the Fengxiang Army. Although he was excluded in Chengdu, he was able to command two thousand troops to suppress the bandits.

Yang Zishi, who surrendered with 20,000 troops, and Yang Shouliang's adopted son, are now serving as deputy governor of Xingyuan Prefecture, and in fact they have lost any power.

Li Ziqi turned around and gave a few instructions, then took his ten subordinates down the city wall and headed towards the inner city.

The vast outer city of Chengdu City was built by Gao Pian, the former governor of Xichuan, and the inner city is the prosperity of Chengdu.

Li Ziqi arrived in the inner city and took the excuse to go home to take a look. After entering the inner city, he had already made plans and planned to hide 300 soldiers at home, but the excuse to enter the inner city was difficult to find.

......

In the wind and rain, Wei Fufeng and his fifty guards were patrolling the construction site outside the city, caring about the military and civilians who worked in the city.

There are too many Fujian people among the military and civilians, and Wei Fufeng cannot understand what he says, but he is very patient in contact with Fujian people.

Wei Fufeng wanted to let the people of Fujian know that he was the supreme ruler of Fujian and the son-in-law of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

In the minds of the Fujian people, the influence of the Wei clan was basically nothing, and the honor of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was still in the hearts of the people.

Walking on the muddy ground, the endless crowd on the left was digging earth to build the city wall. When they saw Wei Fufeng coming, the military and civilians who were informed in advance stopped working and paid homage to each other.

Wei Fufeng nodded occasionally and responded with attention.

While walking, Wei Fufeng's eyes occasionally looked to the north, and he couldn't help but guess the situation in the north.

Wei Fufeng issued another military order to go to the Governor's Office, ordering that if the army attacks Xichuan and arrives at the city of Chengdu, he will not be able to capture Chengdu within ten days and retreat decisively.

Wei Fufeng knew very well that even if Li Maozhen transferred some of the troops in Xichuan, the number of troops and combat power left behind would not be weaker than the attacking Sichuan Southern Army.

If the attack of the Southern Sichuan Army goes smoothly, it will be able to defeat each other and share the food. If it is a battle at the city of Chengdu, the attacking military force will be cut off.

In addition, Wang Jian from Yazhou is eyeing him, so the attack must be fought quickly. If the thunder cannot capture Chengdu, he can only retreat to avoid the Fengxiang army's counterattack, and Wang Jian took the opportunity to attack.
