Chapter 1005: Goodbye
The whole of Chang'an is getting out of control.
As more and more troops withdrew from Chang'an, the panic in Chang'an grew. Although the imperial court has repeatedly emphasized that the army left Chang'an to meet the enemy outside and ensure the safety of Chang'an, even a fool knows that even if what the imperial court said is true, it is because the enemy is getting closer and closer to Chang'an.
Is there a strong city that is not defended and wants to go out to the field?
It's strange that there's nothing strange in this.
Originally, because of the suppression of Chang'an City by the army, order began to collapse with the departure of the army one by one.
Since Luoyang was lost, the rationing system has begun to be implemented in Chang'an City, but in the past ten days, the government's daily ration of food has become less and less, and it used to be barely enough to fill the stomach, but now, even if it is boiling gruel, it is far from making people forget the feeling of hunger.
More and more rumors of all kinds began to spread around the city, if it was in the past, the government would have vigorously refuted the rumors first, and then dispatched people to arrest the rumors, but now, no one cares about this matter.
Of course, Zhu Youzhen is too lazy to pay attention to these things now.
Except for his most elite army of 50,000 at the bottom of the box, the rest of the people, including those officials in Chang'an City, were all objects he abandoned. There are tens of thousands of other troops, Zhu Youzhen doesn't want to take them away, but under the current conditions, he really can't take more troops.
He can only take with him the more elite and more loyal troops.
The current Qinling Mountains are a ghost gate.
The chaos in the city spread little by little, and when someone tentatively began to smash and loot, they were pleasantly surprised to find that in addition to not being pursued by any force, the desire that had been strongly suppressed immediately swelled and overflowed. Like a wildfire lit in autumn, it quickly began to spread throughout the city.
Now Chang'an City, I don't know how many people don't dare to sleep at night, the dark night, is the natural home of those gangsters, when the government no longer performs their duties, the most suffering is always the kindest people.
Gao Xiangsheng slept very sweetly.
He now lives outside the attic of the tallest building in Hao Ren's house, just because here, he can see the general situation of the entire fang, and the fang city where he is located is basically still peaceful, and the people are still living in an orderly manner.
Of course, the reason why this fang is so calm is not because of the power of the government, but because of Hao Ren, the biggest gang leader in Chang'an City in the past.
It is also extremely ironic that it is not the gangsters of the past who have caused the turmoil in Chang'an City, but the law-abiding citizens of the past. Because of Hao Ren, the members of these gangs are now considered an organized and disciplined group.
With a bang, the attic door was kicked open, and the sleeping high elephant jumped up, his eyes not fully opened, and a crossbow with arrows in his hand was already pointed at the door.
"It's me!" Hao Ren hurriedly stepped aside and said.
"Come in, come in, kick in the door, whatever." Gao Xiangsheng threw the crossbow on the quilt, stretched his waist for a long time, got up from the bed, put on his cotton clothes, and looked at Hao Rendao.
"Big deal! Absolutely big deal! Hao Ren leaned over, "I can't make up my mind." ”
"Oh?" Gao Xiangsheng immediately came to his senses, but he knew that Hao Ren was a person with ideas, and what could make him so panicked was naturally not an ordinary thing. "What's the matter?"
"Bullshit went out of the city to fight the Tang army. They are going to run. Hao Ren's tone was full of irony, but also extremely excited.
"Where are you going?"
"They want to enter the Qinling Mountains!" Hao Ren said in a low voice: "This time, their secrecy work has really been done to the extreme, and even I, the commander of the front division of the palace, have been kept to the core, and I didn't know the news until now." Or because Zhu Youzhen ordered me to escort the family members who were still in the palace to meet immediately. If I don't even have this bit of use, I'm afraid I won't know in the end. Holy shit, you don't trust me at all! ”
"Into the Qinling Mountains?" Gao Xiangsheng was taken aback: "Enter the Qinling Mountains this season? Did you get the message wrong? ”
"How so? At this time, the first batch of troops had already stepped into the Qinling Mountains. Gao Xiangsheng shook his head again and again: "This guy Cao Bin hasn't appeared for a while, I'm still thinking about where he went, and now that I think about it, I must have gone to the Qinling Mountains to fight an outpost." ”
Gao Xiangsheng was spinning back and forth in the house, the attic was not big, and his steps were extremely fast, which made Hao Ren's head a little dizzy.
"General Gao, what should I do now?"
Gao Xiangsheng didn't answer him, but said to himself: "Venture into the Qinling Mountains, that is to say, Zhu Youzhen has already done Hanzhong, otherwise after leaving the Qinling Mountains, he will not even have a place to stay." But a Hanzhong can't hold so many troops, and it can't feed it, there is only one Hanzhong, and it can't let Zhu Youzhen show his hands and feet, so there is only one possibility, Zhu Youzhen will swallow Zhu Youzhen, well, this time Zhu Youzhen will definitely be killed by Zhu Youzhen again. ”
Hao Ren looked at Gao Xiangsheng like a ghost.
"Once Zhu Youzhen enters Yizhou, he can struggle again, and when the time comes, he will inevitably collude with the south, and how to do it will take a look again! But no matter what, one thing is certain, it has become impossible to extinguish Zhu Youzhen quickly. Yizhou has natural risks, also known as the country of abundance, can not be closed, can be completely self-sufficient, if you want to take Yizhou, it will definitely take time. ”
Speaking of this, Gao Xiangsheng suddenly stood up and looked at Hao Ren.
"Hao Ren, you can only follow Zhu Youzhen." Gao Xiangsheng said: "You have already gained Zhu Youzhen's trust, this time escorting his family to escape, to Yizhou, will inevitably further gain his trust, and you can hold more rights in your hands, which is extremely helpful for us to take Yizhou in the future." ”
Hao Ren suddenly had a bitter face.
In his life, he has basically never left Chang'an, and even if he leaves, it will only be ten days and half a month at most, but this time he will leave, obviously not in a short time.
What's more, Datang is about to come back, but he can't stand on the stage of being cheered by people with the posture of a victor, but he has to drill Qinling in this season like a lost dog, and if he is not careful, he may die in Qinling.
Chang'an is his home field, here, he has some money, and when he arrives in Yizhou, he is not familiar with the place, and the days will be difficult.
He wanted to say yes, could I not go?
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
He knows that he is not a gang leader now, he is now a general of the Datang internal guard, and the first rule of the internal security code of conduct is to obey orders in everything, and don't ask why.
Gao Xiangsheng is his immediate boss, the boss gives orders, and the subordinates obey unconditionally.
"You just go, your family, we will make proper arrangements here!" Gao Xiangsheng smiled: "Of course, since you have been fighting for Datang in the heart of the enemy, and this time you have to go to another country, there is no need to mention the danger, so I would suggest that your son be transferred to the richest place to serve, and you can also choose a place for him." ”
Hao Ren knew that this matter was irreversible, so he thought about it, but he didn't make any requests.
"Then boy, let him pounce on his own, no matter where it is, I have no opinion." Hao Ren said: "General Gao, then I will go back and explain everything I have in Chang'an to you clearly, most of my brothers will be handed over to you, this time I will only take the most core part of the people who are willing to go with me." In the future, when the Tang Dynasty arrives in Chang'an, I hope that the general will treat them well, these people are used to being wild, and they may make some mistakes when the time comes. I know that Datang's rules and discipline are strict, and I don't want these brothers who have been with me for many years to be cut off by Datang's laws when the time comes. ”
Gao Xiangsheng nodded.
"I will take care of them, but I have to talk about the front, if I really break the law, I am afraid I can only confess my guilt and surrender the law."
Hao Ren took a deep breath and stood up: "Then I'll prepare." What is the general going to do next? ”
"Zhu Youzhen ran away, this news, I'm afraid it won't take a few days to spread throughout Chang'an, and then Chang'an will be completely out of control, I'm not worried about these people in the city, even if they burn and loot, they won't be able to do anything famous, I'm worried about the army of the few big battalions stationed outside the city, and there are tens of thousands of people, these people are all adapted and newly recruited by the Shence Army in the past, this time they were abandoned by Zhu Youzhen, God knows what they will do? If the army starts a mess, it will be a catastrophe for Chang'an, and I must think of ways to control them before the news comes out completely. Otherwise, when the Tang army comes, the entire Chang'an will be in ruins, and it will not be what we want. ”
"General Gao can go and contact someone." Hao Ren said.
"Who?" Gao Xiangsheng was also a little clueless, he originally wanted to take risks alone, after all, the generals of those large battalions had a relationship with him, and he basically knew the generals of the Shence Army in the past.
"Wang Shu!" Hao Ren said: "This old boy was abandoned by Zhu Youzhen, and now I'm afraid he is wandering, I don't know what to do?" If you reach out at this time, he will hold on to it. This old boy still has some friendship with the generals of those big battalions, and it must be better to have him come forward than for you to go rashly. ”
"Here's a way." Gao Xiangsheng said happily: "After all, it is a book in the past, I will go to him when I turn around, presumably now that he sees me, it must be like seeing a savior." ”
The two of them looked at each other, and they both laughed.
After laughing, Gao Xiangsheng stretched out his hand, Hao Ren also stretched out his hand, and the two held each other tightly: "You go first, I'll come back again, we'll see you in Yizhou." ”
"Goodbye Yizhou."
