Chapter 34 Chang'an Fanghua

Tang Zhangwei took Jingnan, and Wei Zhuang and Wei Wan'er stayed there to carry out changes to Jingnan.

A famous Confucian student drove into Jingnan, and they used the Analects and literacy classes to brainwash and change the knowledge of the people of Jingnan.

Princess Suining was dressed in red makeup and waited quietly for Tang Zhangwei.

The maidservant Huo Hongyu served Tang Zhangwei all kinds of delicacies, and Tang Zhangwei devoured them. She served Jushengnu, which was made of honey, and Princess Suining's favorite Brahmin light high noodles, which tasted excellent.

Huo Hongyu's dishes and soup are cooked with mutton fat to cook Tonghua soft beef intestines, bright shrimp grilled alive with river shrimp, and the chef uses repeatedly beaten tenderloin to make white dragon Yao, Princess Suining personally cooked a milk stewed chicken, which is Tang Zhangwei's best bite, and this dish is called in the restaurant

Immortal belly.

Princess Suining looked at him with a smile and asked, "Did you eat well?" ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "It's delicious, I haven't eaten such delicious things for a long time, and only when you're here can I eat deliciously." ”

Princess Suining said, "Then you will come to eat more from now on." ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Yes, but I think no matter how good it is in other places, it is not as good as Chang'an City!" ”

Princess Suining said: "I feel this way too. ”

Tang Zhangwei said to Princess Suining: "In this troubled world, I sometimes feel that people are like ants. ”

Princess Suining smiled and said, "Ants are afraid because ants can't react to people's things. Does the general have this feeling, is he doubting his life? ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "When I think of the people of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, they are suffering, and I feel uncomfortable. ”

Princess Suining said: "The general has the ambition to annex the world, and it is a bit false for you to say this." ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "I want to lead 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, and use mules and horses to march quickly to help the Tang Dynasty recover Chang'an City." ”

Princess Suining said: "As soon as the general's war horse was dispatched, the princes in the customs were shocked!" ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "I want to be willful, do you think it's okay?" ”

Princess Suining said: "Since the general has the ambition to chase the Central Plains, of course I support it, but in this way, the feudal towns in the north of the Central Plains will target you after eliminating the Yellow Nest." ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "I also know the cruelty of war, but I have been looking north at Chang'an for a long time, and I feel very uncomfortable thinking about the people in Chang'an City. ”

In the end, Tang Zhangwei decided to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to the north, and at the same time held back with 60,000 troops as his own backing, in case the armies of the northern feudal towns merged with him.

Huang Chao was stationed in Huazhou at this time, and he fought nearly ten battles with the Qinwang troops of the Tang Dynasty, and the two sides fought a stalemate.

In Huazhou City in the Tang Dynasty, it rained, and the soldiers were very happy. After many days of thirst and stalemate, the rain eased a lot.

Huang Chao's spies came to report that Tang Zhangwei led 30,000 iron cavalry from Shannan Dongdao and passed through the territory of the Jinshang Capital Defense Envoy, he immediately withdrew to Chang'an, and was preparing for evacuation from Chang'an. Huang Chao appointed Huang Ye as the assassin of Huazhou and ordered him to take over the defense of Huazhou.

At that time, there was a shortage of food in Chang'an City, and at the same time, many spies of the Tang Army also entered the city.

In order to calm the morale of the army, Huang Chao ordered the families of various generals and officers to perform songs and dances.

At this time, in Chang'an City, people at the general level had black beans to eat, and those ordinary people ate tree bark.

Many old, weak, sick and disabled people were starved to death.

In Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao was enjoying singing and dancing.

In fact, Huang Chao's heart is on fire, but he can only stabilize his subordinates by pretending to be calm.

Tang Zhangwei led the army to surround Huazhou City, and in Huazhou City, Huang Ye was surrounded by Li Xiang's old pawns.

Huang Ye looked at the soldiers and said, "What do you want to do?"

Li Shen's old subordinates surrounded him, and Li Heiniu, who was the leader, said, "Huang Ye, are you going out by yourself, or will we cut you into meat sauce and then send you out?" ”

Huang Ye still wanted to struggle, but the soldiers were already impatient, and Tang Zhangwei's troops under Huazhou City were waiting.

Huang Ye arched his hand and said: "I won't hinder you, I hope you won't regret it in the future." ”

The group of rebels laughed, and Li Heiniu said, "Go slowly, don't send it!" ”

Tang Zhangwei waited anxiously under the city, but it was inconvenient for him to attack the city immediately, because once he used the means of war, it would inevitably kill and wound.

When Huang Ye left the city, Tang Zhangwei sent someone to make way for him and let him go first.

Princess Suining said, "Why don't you kill Huang Ye?" ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Sending troops to kill Huang Ye now is like killing a dog, maybe it is better to kill a dog, but let him go." When our army recovers Chang'an City, it will be much easier as adding an army of 100,000. ”

Princess Suining said, "How did you see it?" ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "You have to believe me, I not only know how to play with machetes, but also understand people's hearts." I know that the common people of Datang sometimes rebel, just to have a way to live. You gave them a way to live, you easily defeated and disintegrated the army of the Yellow Nest, and you can truly own Chang'an City. ”

The occupation of Huazhou made Tang Zhangwei famous among the feudal towns of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time made Huang Chao even more uneasy.

In order to get rid of his fear, Huang Chao personally danced with the dancing girls, and at the same time rewarded the palace maids to the rebel soldiers to boost their morale.

In Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, after Huang Chao entered, there was a strange joyful atmosphere for the first time, but this joyful atmosphere was very short-lived and almost fleeting.

The Tang army met outside Chang'an, Tang Zhangwei and Li Keyong met, and even Tang Xizong, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, began to prepare for the imperial expedition.

Zhongguan Tian Lingzi said: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to personally dispatch a large army, if your army is defeated by the rebels of Huangchao, or if the generals of the feudal town have different intentions, you will be in danger." ”

Tang Xizong said: "I am still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and no one can be rude to me. ”

Zhongguan Tian Lingzi said: "Cao Cao was also a courtier of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but so what? ”

Tang Xizong said, "What do you mean? ”

Zhongguan Tian Lingzi said: "Your Excellency the Emperor should wait and see what happens, and then you can go in after the various feudal towns have pacified Chang'an City." ”

Tang Xizong said: "That day the Son of Heaven is covered with dust, and waiting for the princes to be King Qin is not what my Li Tang royal family should do!" ”

Zhongguan Tian Lingzi said: "The Tang Emperor is a symbol of the world, and your signboard is still useful, but Tang Zhangwei listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, you still have to use some means to completely envelop him, so as to ensure the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Tang Xizong said: "In the past, Tang Zhangwei always avoided large-scale operations in the Central Plains, and last time he withdrew the army to his own defense area when the situation of the Tang army was good. ”

Zhongguan Tian Lingzi said: "This is exactly what I am worried about, I am afraid that he will be the same as An Lushan, and he will not leave when he comes." ”
