In an atmosphere of slaughter, Chang'an City also ushered in the first day of May.

In the records of later generations, in May of this year, the note will leave a strong stroke.

——On the first day of the fifth month, the army of Shen Tujia from Huaiyang officially arrived outside Xingyang City and met the infant army that was going to Suiyang through Xingyang.

Huaiyang County Shoushen Tujia argued in the name of 'Fengzhao Rongcheng', and Guan Ying wanted to temporarily recuperate in Xingyang as a general, and then march to Suiyang.

For this matter, the old stubborn cow Shen Tujia even almost poured an old fist on the general outside Suiyang City, in front of the soldiers of the two armies!

In the end, it was a military order from Chang'an that put an end to this appalling farce: Emperor Liu Hong ordered that the infant army should not be amended along the way, perhaps go to Suiyang and build a defense line!

When Guan Ying was entangled in whether to 'disobey the life of the foreign monarch', Liu Hong's other appointment forced Guan Ying to give up Xingyang in disgrace and lead the army to the east.

——Add Huaiyang Shoushen Tujia's former rank of general, fake festival, Xu cheap act!

Now that the lieutenant is idle and the general has become the leader of the military's theory, the only thing that the infant needs to be afraid of in the military is the person who has been specially approved by Liu Hong to 'act cheaply'.

Guy because of the phrase 'act cheaply' is not as simple as the literal 'can be cut first and then played'.

In today's Han family, there are only four people in the Manchu Communists who have obtained this permission: Wei Shang in the clouds, Chai Wu, the general of the chariot cavalry, Zhou Zao, the commander of the army to conquer Vietnam, and the newly baked former general Shen Tujia.

Yunzhong Shouwei Shang was allowed to act cheaply because Yunzhong was located on the first line of the Han and Hungarian borders, and Wei Shang really needed full decision-making power in order to ensure that the first line of Yunzhong, Shang, and Dai would not be broken through by the Huns.

The remaining three are all in the same situation: to temporarily improve the status of the appointee by means of 'fake festivals and cheap acts', so that they are as unaffected by external factors as possible!

Chai Wu was approved, obviously so that the Flying Fox Army, which was the 'front-line firefighters of the Great Wall', was changed from being a real and unknown person to a legitimate commander-in-chief of the northern defense; for the battle on the northern wall, the court no longer had direct command power, but only retained the right to make suggestions.

If he is not satisfied with Chai Wu's measures, the court can no longer remotely control Chai Wu's decision-making, but can only find another channel, first remove Chai Wu's position, and then intervene in the northern strategy.

Zhou Zao, the commander of the expeditionary army, also obtained the permission to 'act cheaply' because of his first mission: to crusade against South Vietnam, and this authorization was to allow Zhou Zao to freely call on the Huainan and even Changsha armies on the way to the south, if necessary, so as to achieve a smoother victory in the southern expedition.

And Shen Tujia...

If Liu Hong ordered Zhou Zao to go north to Fengpei, and once again emphasized that Zhou Zao's 'fake festival and cheap behavior' was not enough to make the baby react, then Shen Tujia's approval of this privilege was undoubtedly an extremely simple signal.

Liu Hong is euphemistically reminding the baby: My general~ Only those who are fake are eligible to 'be exempted from the king's life outside'~

For Liu Hong's naked distrust, the infant indulged in dissatisfaction, and finally could only accept his fate - since ancient times, military generals have no good deaths, which is due to the suspicion of those in power due to the military power in their hands.

The main reason why the baby is temporarily endured is out of consideration for the future.

In this regard, the rebellion of the princes and kings is clear in the hearts of the baby: they were defeated in the political game, the camp has shrunk repeatedly, and Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, who have almost no power, have made a desperate blow!

But as for whether the two can succeed in the end, the attitude of the baby is very pessimistic.

Not to mention the Zhulu Rebellion half a year ago, which has made the little emperor in the Weiyang Palace have a high degree of vigilance against the princes of Qidi, and the difference in strength between the two camps at this time is far from being as clear as half a year ago.

Half a year ago, the princes and ministers were able to complete the purge of the Lu clan, and the most critical part was that Zhou Boce opposed the Northern Army, broke through Chang'an City from the inside, and carried out a very accurate beheading operation, killing Lu Chan and Lu Lu in seconds!

If it weren't for that, the princes and ministers would not be able to kill all the Zhulu, and the army of Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, would not even be able to enter Guanzhong!

The current situation looks very similar to half a year ago: the same Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, the same 'King of Qi', and the same infant who led the army to the battle.

But in fact, the current situation is very different from half a year ago!

- Zhou Bo, who was personally dismissed from the post of lieutenant by the Queen Mother, can he still rebel against the Northern Army with a tiger talisman?

- Chen Ping, who has repeatedly lost the hearts of the people in the court, does not hesitate to pretend to be sick at home, and is secretly planning a conspiracy, can he still bring back the court that the little emperor basically controls?

Even if these factors are not considered, the most important point alone is enough to make the baby rush back and cleanly complete the cut with Chen Ping's party - Chang'an City is already completely controlled by the strong crossbow captain!

This means that Chang'an City is no longer possible to break through from the inside.

Therefore, Chen Ping's actions have been classified as 'dying struggles', and the position of infant irrigation has gradually moved closer to the direction of 'understanding current affairs'.

Naturally, in order to solve the Mao Dun between the little emperor Liu Hong and the little emperor as perfectly as possible in the future, the baby should try to avoid unhappiness again.

In fact, for Ao Cang, there is no strong desire to control the baby; The reason why he made a posture of rushing to station was entirely because of Chen Ping's 'explanation' before leaving.

——The three holes of the cunning rabbit are the wise sayings of ancient and modern times.

Although he is not optimistic about Chen Ping, he doesn't mind leaving a way out at all, just in case something happens.

This can also be regarded as the standard of life for infants: leave a line of room to turn around, and only then will there be an opportunity to sit and talk and laugh in the future.

※※※※※※※※※※※

When Shen Tujia's reply of 'settling in Xingyang' was conveyed to Chang'an, Liu Hongcai finally put his heart back in his stomach and turned his attention to the matter of harmony.

It was a full month since the rebellion broke out, and the situation of the rebels had basically been sent to Liu Hong.

Not much different from Liu Hongdi's expectations, after Liu Zhang's army left the territory of Qi from the southwest, there was no posture of fighting in the local area at all, and only went straight to attack Liang State!

From the letters sent by the local counties and counties, such as "never met", "invincible", "can't catch up", etc., Liu Hong was more sure of the conjecture in his heart: Liu Zhang raised the flag, and he must have received the support of the Chang'an center!

If it weren't for this, Liu Zhang would never have been able to 'follow the city without entering', just by taking a detour, he would have been unimpeded all the way.

After keeping in mind the message that 'Qilu officials were curing erosion', Liu Hong could only accept the fact that Liu Zhang was 'completely unhindered' and deduced the time when the rebels arrived in Liang.

From the current situation, it can be inferred that Liu Zhang's army will not reach the territory of Liang until late May at the earliest.

In other words, there is still more than half a month left before the outbreak of the 'Great War', and Liu Hong needs to solve all the problems in this half a month, and instead focus all his energy on the defense of Suiyang.

Logically speaking, Liu Hong, a weak young man who can't lift his hands and shoulders, sits in the center of power, and doesn't know much about military affairs, even if he is engrossed, he can't play a positive role in the direction of the war; Liu Hong's best choice is actually to fully ensure the logistics support of the infant army, give the baby full trust, and build a few more lines of defense after Suiyang, just in case.

However, Liu Hong knew very well in his heart: It is impossible to fight in the defense of Suiyang...

Whether it is from the position of the baby's swaying left and right, or Chen Ping and Zhou Bo's inextricable connection with the rebels, the naked reality is in front of Liu Hong: the most likely choice for the baby is to secretly contact Liu Zhang to reach a consensus, as he did half a year ago, and make a 'confrontation' posture under Suiyang City, so as to return the 'main battlefield' to Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others in Chang'an.

Because Guan Ying would never dare to make any move suspected of 'abandoning the Suiyang defense line' as a general, and let Liu Zhang's army go!

It is impossible for Liu Zhang's army to enter Guanzhong, which means that 'secretly contacting Liu Zhang to lead the army to approach Guanzhong' is not Chen Ping's main means of winning at all, at best it is just a smoke bomb to distract Liu Hong's attention.

Even from the perspective of practical significance, Chen Ping instigated Liu Zhang to approach Guanzhong, and the only advantage he could get was to disperse the defenders of Guanzhong.

And this is the reason why Liu Hong's urgent order to give the court the green light, simplify all procedures, and send the Xiongnu mission on the way home as quickly as possible.

——Since Chen Ping diverted the defenders of Guanzhong with Liu Zhang's army, he will inevitably make some moves in Guanzhong!

Analyzing along this line of thought, there are only two points left for Liu Hong to pay attention to: keep an eye on the northern army to avoid the northern army being rebelled again; And, drive out the Hun mission!

Now that Zhou Bo has been dismissed and returned home, and has thought about it behind closed doors, it is unlikely that the Northern Army will be rebelled again; Liu Hong also invested a huge amount of experience in the Northern Army, stuffing the two most unstable captains into the hands of Guan Ying and sending them out of Guanzhong.

In this case, Chen Ping can make a choice, even if Liu Hong wants to break his head, he can only think of one: collusion with the Huns to be demons!

It is because of this hidden danger that the eldest daughter of Emperor Wen in history, the eldest princess of Emperor Jing, and the eldest princess of Emperor Wu; Liu Yan, the famous strong woman in the Western Han Dynasty, was sent by Liu Hong more than ten days in advance to marry the Huns.

Regardless of the princess who married abroad, the return of the Xiongnu mission could only be regarded as the return of the diplomatic corps at most, and it was not at all to the point of being personally gifted by Emperor Liu Hong.

Therefore, the Xiongnu mission went north out of Chang'an, and then thousands of Chang'an people watched the scene of embarking on the way home, Liu Hong was standing on the lookout of the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace and saw it.

Even if it was a few miles away from the north of Chang'an City, Liu Hong could clearly feel the humiliation and suffocated anger in the ranks of the people outside the Hengcheng Gate who watched Princess Guantao marry far away.

Standing outside the front hall of Weiyang Palace, which is dozens of zhang high, looking down on the living beings in Chang'an, Liu Hong couldn't suppress the endless anger and grief that surged in his heart.

Harmony, reparations, and land cession, no matter in any era, there is no escaping the essence of losing power and humiliating the country!

Of course, Liu Hong hopes that the dynasty under his rule can be as strong as Zhu Ming, not to be close, not to pay compensation, not to seek peace, the Son of Heaven to guard the country, and the king to die!

However, decades of life experience and a historical vision spanning thousands of years have poured a basin of ice water on Liu Hong's arrogant ambitions, bringing Liu Hong's mind back to calm.

- To fall behind is to be beaten!

- If you are weak, you deserve to be oppressed!

In order to accomplish such a lofty historical mission in the true sense, it is necessary to ensure a calm mind like a machine at all times.

The Son of Heaven guarding the country is certainly proud, but if the country is strong, how can the Son of Heaven guard the border wall as a daughter?

On the contrary, when the fate of the dynasty is approaching and the world is wailing, the capital that has moved north due to the bloodshed of the nation will become a shortcut for Hulu to suppress Shenzhou and a talisman for the demise of the dynasty.

Thinking of this, the humiliation in Liu Hong's heart was transformed into fighting spirit little by little.

I want to endure!

I want to endure this monstrous shame for the sake of the people of the world and the people!

One day, I will personally put on the golden armor, step on the grassland, and return all the shame of the past to the Huns!

"Old man, count yourself lucky, you don't have to watch the dynasty you set up single-handedly go to the end..."

Looking at the north and muttering to himself, Liu Hong's gaze gradually became a hint of scarlet.

"Old Shangji porridge, can you be ready to chase the grassland with me?"

"Hehehe..."

"Don't worry, when your short-lived father is eaten clean by vultures, my royal master will not be far from your royal court..."

The more and more strange tone provoked the palace maids in the palace to turn pale, and finally trembled.

Wang Zhong, who was hunched and standing behind Liu Hong, heard this, and after a little thought, he waved his hand without a trace, signaling everyone in the hall to retreat.

"Wang Zhong."

Liu Hong suddenly called out, which caused Wang Zhong to be taken aback, and then subconsciously knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty." ”

After Liu Hong's tone returned to normal, Wang Zhong hurriedly added: "Your Majesty is outside the fugue, it seems to have been inspired by the gods?" ”

"The old slave is vulgar, and he has not heard what he has revealed; Your Majesty's atonement..."

Looking at the old loyal slave trembling and prostrate on the ground in front of him, Liu Hong's cloudy gaze gradually returned to clear; Looking at Wang Zhong's gaze, it naturally brought a traceless scrutiny.
