Chapter 773: Chengdu

Chen Jingxuan used to be a seller of baked cakes, even if now he relies on the help of Tian Lingzi, the great eunuch brother who wielded a knife to enter the palace and became the emperor's father, and became the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, but in essence, he is still a seller of baked cakes.

Wearing a purple robe, he still smiled like Chen Lao Er, who sold baked cakes in Xuzhou at the beginning.

"What is so pleased?" Tian Lingzi asked him.

Chen Jingxuan replied with a smile, "Brother, don't you still know the way?" Li Jing issued a document ordering all towns in the world to fight against the yellow thief. Now all parties have responded, Fengxiang Town Zheng Zhen has killed the pseudo-Qi envoy, led the Fengxiang army to swear to kill the thieves, and the towns in Guanzhong Mountain and South have all taken Fengxiang Zheng Zhen as the leader of the alliance, preparing to counterattack Chang'an. And Wang Chongrong, an important town in the river that had already descended to Qi, had also killed the pseudo-Qi envoy to Tang, and fought a small victory with the thief army, killing thousands. The latest news, Wang Chongrong has been ordered by Li Jingshuai, led by Zheng Congyan, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, to unite the allied forces of Longshang Towns in Hedong to prepare to recover Luoyang. In addition, the towns of Jinshang, Zhongwu, Xuanwu, Yicheng, and Tianping in the south of Luoyang also issued a document to prepare for the allied army to attack Qi, and publicly recommended Tianping Jiedu to make Yu Xuan the leader of the Henan Allied Army."

Tian Lingzi waved his hand, impatiently interrupted his brother's saliva and flew straight, not only did his face not have the slightest joy, but became more and more gloomy.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Chen Jingxuan asked puzzled.

Chen Jingxuan was arranged by Tian Lingzi earlier, and went to Xichuan as a festival envoy one step earlier, and arranged a retreat for Tian Lingzi in advance. It was the original arrangement, when Chang'an changed, that Tian Lingzi was able to immediately retreat to Xichuan with the Son of Heaven. However, although Nishikawa is rich, it is not a good place. Xichuan is the front line of the border with Nanzhao, and has been fighting with Nanzhao for more than ten years. The originally wealthy Nishikawa has long been eroded. Thieves are everywhere. In the past two years, the new king of Nanzhao succeeded to the throne. Both sides could not bear to fight for a long time, and only after reaching an agreement to strike the troops did they recover a little. But although he retreated to Xichuan, Chen Jingxuan and the officials who retreated to Chengdu were still very worried that Huang Chao would chase after him and kill him directly to Xichuan.

Now Fengxiang Zheng Zheng has finally returned to Tang anyway, and has joined the towns in Guanzhong to crusade against Huangchao, which is a great thing. At least, in the short term, there is no need to worry that Huang Chao will enter Xichuan in one fell swoop. What's more, if the towns in the world raise troops and Qin Wang, if they can recover the two capitals, then they will naturally be able to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, no matter what, Chang'an is far stronger than this frontier is countless times stronger.

"You know what!" Tian Lingzi sighed, after he led the Son of Heaven to withdraw to Xichuan, life was not smooth. There are 150,000 Shence troops in Guanzhong, and only tens of thousands of horses have really retreated to Chengdu. Even if you add Xichuan's army, it doesn't add up to tens of thousands. These days. Tian Lingzi actively recruited troops and rebuilt the Shence Army. Tian Lingzi also knew that the situation in the court was now corrupt, so that the Son of Heaven was dissatisfied with him in his heart. This made him more and more worried, if he no longer had military power in his hands, he was afraid that he would not even know how to die.

Tian Lingzi rebuilt the Shence Army, built a new Shence Ten Army, each army had ten capitals, and the newly built soldiers and horses were one hundred, each with a thousand people, a total of 100,000 new troops. Tian Lingzi asked for the order to be appointed as the envoy of the 12th Guards of the Tenth Army. It's just that the people are forcibly recruited, but these are basically new recruits, and they have neither adequate training, nor experienced officers, nor even sufficient equipment.

And 100,000 horses, food, grass and military salaries, made him worry about white-headed.

Chen Jingxuan got up and poured wine for his brother, there were no outsiders in the house, only him and Tian Lingzi brothers in the study. The table was lit with a lantern, bright and transparent. "Is there anything else going on here?"

"Of course!" Tian Lingzi poured a big sip of wine, he rarely drank alcohol, and in recent years, he has developed a new habit of drinking only red wine from Dengzhou. "You only see the surface of things, but you don't see the real essence of things. Brother, the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for us. Don't you see whose orders the towns are responding to today? is responding to Li Jing's order. Who is Li Jing, that is our number one enemy. Today, Li Jing gave an order, and every town in the world responded to the crusade against Huangchao. If he gives another order one day, saying that he wants to clear the king's side and kill us, what should we do then? ”

"Brother, you are now the Son of Heaven and Father, how dare Li Jing do this?" Chen Jingxuan was surprised.

"What would you not dare? Son of Heaven, Father? That was in the past, and if I grew up today, I don't like our family anymore. If it weren't for the fact that I still have to rely on our brothers, I'm afraid I won't be able to tolerate you and me a long time ago. Tian Lingzi sighed. For example, today the son and him are already at odds with each other in the face and heart. He already knew it, but what could he do.

"Besides, look at the three major coalition forces of Guanzhong, Hedong, and Henan, who are they headed by?"

"The Guanzhong coalition army is headed by Zheng Jin, the commander of Fengxiang Town, the Hedong coalition army is headed by Zheng Congyan, the commander of Hedong, and the Henan coalition army is headed by Yu Xuan. Let's talk about it in detail, such as Wang Chongrong, Li Keyong, and Daibei Zhuhu in Hedong Qiangzhen, as well as Zhou Qi, Qin Zongquan, and Ba Jiang in Henan, etc., you look at these people, how many of them are our people? ”

"These aren't our people." Tian Lingzi took another sip, and the crimson wine was sprinkled on the front of his purple round-necked official robe. The delicious and mellow red wine has long been tasteless, and it is no longer tasted in a big gulp, just like drinking water.

"Zheng Zhen and Zheng Congyan, those are both Xingyang Zheng clans, who are behind them? It's the old opponent in our palace, Ximen Sigong, who is an old immortal. There is also Yu Xuan from Henan, who is Li Jing's teacher, and he has always been in the same boat as Li Jing, and even the Zhuhu Department in Daibei is also on Li Jing and Yu Xuan's side. In addition, Qin Zongquan, Zhou Qi and the eight generals of Zhongwu who are separated from Zhongwu, who are they? A certain person got a secret report, they did it anyway this time, not only because of Li Jing's order, but also because Yang Fuguang vigorously moved from it, and finally persuaded the generals of Yuan Zhongwu to do it anyway. They are all the people of Yang Fuguang, the dead eunuch, and Yang Fuguang is the brother of our other big opponent Yang Fugong. I think that at the beginning, we united with Ximen Sigong, which arched Yang Fugong from the position of the first eunuch, how could he be of the same mind as us. In addition, Shatuo Li Keyong in Hedong, their family has long taken refuge in Yang Fugong and Yang Fuguang's brothers, and I heard that Wang Chongrong in the river is now secretly fighting with Li Keyong, not only calling him a brother, but also planning to marry his sons and daughters. And so it goes. Wang Chongrong. He is also Yang Fuguang's person. ”

Tian Lingzi stretched out his hand to cover his mouth. Quietly burped. His amount of alcohol is actually not large, and he usually only drinks a few glasses, but today he was depressed for a while, and he drank more, and he couldn't help but feel a little drunk.

If you don't get drunk, everyone is drunk, Tian Lingzi seems to be as beautiful as in the past, but in fact, his heart is already full of fear.

Outside, there is a great enemy Li Jing, who is in the sky, and inside, there are Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong, Yang Fuguang, and Zhang Tai, these eunuchs, who are gradually strengthening their opponents. The wings are growing, and the momentum of the joint force against him is hidden. And what scared him the most was the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards him, don't look at the series of official titles he held at this time, what Jin Guogong, the Tenth Army and the Twelfth Guard, the Tenth Army, the Twelve Guards, the Lieutenant of the Left Army, the Privy Council Envoy and so on. But if the Son of Heaven resents him, he will eventually be rootless duckweed.

"Brother!" Tian Lingzi smiled bitterly and said with a half-drunk smile, "I'll tell you the truth today, the current situation, it's okay for Huangchao to occupy Chang'an for a day." If the soldiers and horses of the king of Qinqin in each town really recovered the two capitals and destroyed the Yellow Nest. I'm afraid that that will be the time for you and my brother to give the head. ”

"What should I do?" Chen Jingxuan said with fear. It's only been a few years since he lived a good life, and he hasn't enjoyed it enough.

"What to do? What else can be done, of course, is to control the soldiers and horses, and control the territory. Now we control Xichuan, as long as we can manage this place well, we have soldiers and territory in our hands, at that time, even if one day, the world really can't tolerate our brothers, at least, we still have a self-protection power. ”

"Brother, is there really that day?" Chen Jingxuan asked with some despair.

"Let's hope that day never comes." After Tian Lingzi finished speaking, he fell headlong on the case and got drunk.

In the palace of Chengdu, Zhang Tai, the general of the right prison gate, quickly walked into the palace, "Immediately report to Your Majesty, and a certain happy event must be reported to the Son of Heaven immediately." ”

The guards woke up Li Yi, traveled all the way from Chang'an to Chengdu, and gave up Chang'an, which made Li Yi's heart uncomfortable, and as a result, after arriving in Chengdu, Li Yi was always uncomfortable and lay in bed all day.

Zhang Tai entered, and after saluting, he immediately excitedly reported the matter of the Central Plains to the Son of Heaven.

When he heard Li Jing's order for all towns in the world to raise troops and crusade against Huangchao, the towns responded, Guanzhong, Hedong, and Henan have organized three major coalition armies, and even the towns that originally took refuge in Huangchao have also gone anyway, Li Yi, the son of heaven who has been lying in bed for too long and has lost a lot of weight, finally took a breath of air, jumped up from the bed excitedly, his face was full of flushing, and shouted excitedly and tremblingly: "I know that the people have not turned their backs on the Tang Dynasty, and Li Qing will not live up to me!" The day of the thief's beheading will not be too reversed, and the day of recovering the two capitals and returning to Chang'an will not be too long! ”

Li Yi took Zhang Tai's hand and asked him to explain the details one by one.

After listening to Zhang Tai's narration, Li Yi's heart was excited, and he swept away his usual state of withering, and paced excitedly in the palace with his hands clenched into fists and wearing a robe.

"I want to issue an edict to reward the soldiers of King Qin, and immediately prepare an edict for me, and all officers and soldiers below the rank of the stream will be honored three times, rewarded with ten thousand, and ten horses of silk,"

Zhang Tai quietly reminded on the side, "Your Majesty, the imperial court can't come up with so much money to reward now. ”

Li Yi hesitated, "Then reward each person with 100 yuan, and after the war is settled, the court will reward meritorious deeds." ”

100 banknotes, it seems to be a lot, but in fact, the banknotes issued by the imperial court have long been the same price as paper, and 100 banknotes can be exchanged for 100 yuan at most. But Zhang Tai didn't say anything, and at this point, what can he say.

"Also, immediately reward King Qin with 10,000 hectares of Yongye Field, add 10,000 households of Zhen Shiyi, and posthumously crown Li Jingzu as the king for three generations. Again, reward 10 million yuan. ”

Li Jing is now unsealable, the official is the best, and Li Yi has to give Tian a reward. Li Jing won't look at this bit of money and food, but Li Yi can only take this out.

"Add Zheng Zheng as Tongping Zhangshi, Shizhong, King of Longxi County, confer the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, add the marshal of the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, and control the soldiers and horses in the towns of Guanzhong."

"Add Zheng Congyan as the Zhongshu Order, the king of Hedong County, grant the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and add the marshal of Hedong soldiers and horses, and control the soldiers and horses of the towns in Kwantung."

"Add Yu Xuan as the left servant of Shangshu and the king of Xingyang County, and award the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and the marshal of Henan soldiers and horses, and control the soldiers and horses of Henan Towns."

"Add Yang Fuguang as the military envoy of the world's soldiers and horses, seal the king of Hongnong County, and coordinate the soldiers and horses of the king of all walks of life!"

Li Yi's tone was excited, and he was newly crowned with four county kings in a row, and even the eunuch Yang Fuguang was also crowned the county king because of this persuasion of the loyal and military tribes to return to the Tang Dynasty anyway. In addition, hundreds of generals were rewarded in a row, and the generals below the third rank of the Qinwang army were directly promoted to the first rank of loose officials, and the fifth rank and below were directly promoted to two orders of loose officials.

After reading the reward order in one breath, Li Yi took a long breath, now, just wait for the towns to cut down the Yellow Nest and recover the two capitals! (To be continued......)
