After Pei Min's rectification, Chang'an, a thousand-year-old capital, gradually regained its original prosperity, and the shops on the streets reopened.

Teahouses and liquor shops also gathered vendors from the south to the north, although the Central Plains fell into the hands of the enemy, and the trade routes were blocked. But the more critical this juncture, the more opportunistic traders are there, and they use various means to travel back and forth between Guanzhong and the Central Plains.

In a suburban wine shop, several foot merchants gathered together and talked about what they had seen.

"I heard that the thief is particularly tyrannical, and he has an entourage who wants Li Zhu'er. I heard that this Li Zhu'er has been with him for more than ten years, and the thief can't do without him. But the thief claims to be the emperor, and the harem cannot tolerate an outsider who can only enter and exit. Guess what the thief did? He personally asked Li Zhu'er to take off his pants, castrated him with a knife, and castrated Li Zhu'er into a eunuch. ”

"General Guo Ziyi in Hedong is also a rare good general in our dynasty. That Gai Jiayun was extremely incompetent, so that the rebels led by Shi Siming and Cai Xide fought to the ground, but General Guo Ziyi only had 2,000 remnants in his hands, wandering between Shi Siming and Cai Xide's 50,000 army, treating them as monkeys, winning small victories repeatedly, and the soldiers were fighting more and more, and now they have expanded to 15,000. On the other hand, Shi Siming and Cai Xide went from 50,000 to 30,000 for General Guo, which is really remarkable. ”

"If you want to say that it is powerful, it has to be our Wuwei County King, who single-handedly made Prince Hui kneel and beg for mercy. The rebels were arrogant, as soon as the king of the county came back, he immediately rolled out of Guanzhong, and recaptured Tongguan by the way. ”

……

They either denounced An Lushan for being unreasonable, or praised the performance of the outstanding generals of the Tang Army, and the atmosphere was warm.

Suddenly, a man in Tsing Yi said mysteriously: "About the King of Wuwei County, I have heard a news. ”

He deliberately kept his voice in his voice and looked strange, attracting the attention of the public.

"The Wang Jun of Wuwei County is slightly unparalleled, and it is the world's first-class soldier. Xiyi Arabia is so terrible and powerful, it is not good to eat against him. The lion king turned into a cat and slaughtered it for the county king. According to common sense, this is a matter of easy task against the rebels. But he did not move in Chang'an, which is said to be a big problem. ”

"What's the problem?"

"I heard that the king of Wuwei may have a heart of disobedience, he is not in a hurry to break the thief, and he is not moving in Chang'an, he is planning to buy people's hearts......"

The people in Tsing Yi wanted to say more, but found that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

The whole liquor shop has fallen silent.

One by one, the drinkers looked at themselves with angry eyes.

The owner of the wine shop was happily calculating the accounts, but at this moment, he rushed out with a fierce calculation chip and said: "Get out, Lao Tzu doesn't do your business, the king of Wuwei County saved the people of Chang'an City, how can you allow a villain like you who doesn't distinguish right from wrong to slander?" ”

The rumor-mongers were so frightened that they ran away.

Drinkers applauded the owner of the liquor store.

The man in Tsing Yi ran into the alley in shock, and he still didn't breathe a sigh of relief.

A sack fell from the sky and enveloped him......

Wuwei County Palace!

Pei Min was dealing with all the affairs in Guanzhong in the county king's mansion as always, but he unexpectedly heard Gongsun Xi's angry voice in his ears: "How can this be reasonable!" Outrageous! When he looked up, he saw his sister-in-law coming angrily, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Gongsun Xi said: "In the past few days, some people in Chang'an have spread bad words about their brother-in-law, saying that the brother-in-law is sitting in Chang'an and standing still, in order to buy people's hearts, intending to learn from Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, and plotting against him. I'm so angry with my aunt, don't let me catch the mastermind behind the scenes, let me catch him, you have to tear his mouth open. ”

Hearing this news, Pei Min was not surprised, but smiled knowingly, and asked his left and right hands Zhang Jiuling and Li Yu, "Zishou, Changyuan, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Zhang Jiuling sighed slightly: "This is someone who can't sit still." ”

Li Mi was shocked and said: "This is to use rumors to make Pei Shuai leave Chang'an, Pei Shuai controls Chang'an, which is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the imperial court." Only when Pei Shuai leaves Chang'an will they have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. That person has a certain amount of troops in his hands after all, if his subordinates are not mistaken. They understood the forces in Pei Shuai's hands, and knew that once Pei Shuai set out on the expedition, he would leave no extra troops in Chang'an and Gyeonggi. They can take advantage of the situation to return and control Gyeonggi with their military power. It would be better if he could control Tongguan, and he would be able to fight between Pei Shuai and Tongguan with a good hand. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the rebels intended to drive a wedge between Pei Shuai and the imperial court. It's just unlikely, the relationship between Pei Shuai and the current 'imperial court' does not need to be separated at all. ”

Gongsun Xi understood and said angrily: "It's that hateful loyal king again, he has no ability, but he came to slander his brother-in-law...... Hmph, I don't want to think about it, brother-in-law is something he can denigrate? Those who spread rumors, before my people started to punish, have already made the people of Chang'an scold bloody. ”

Zhang Jiuling couldn't help but sigh again: "Right and wrong, free in the hearts of the people, loyal to the king conspiracy chaos, or can be deceived for a while, after all, the sky net is restored, negligent but not leaky, but self-destruction." ”

Originally, Zhang Jiuling was only a suspicion without evidence for Li Heng, but now it is clear whether it is black and white.

Zhang Jiuling said: "It's just that it's not a way to go on like this. The rebels are at their most unpopular now, and if they are not resolved at this time, delaying it will lead to a change in the hearts of the people. And most crucially, we don't have much to eat. If we continue to consume it, we may not be able to afford it. ”

Guanzhong is the country of abundance, but the country of abundance can't stand the crowd.

Grain production in Guanzhong has always been in short supply, and it is necessary to transport grain from the Jiangnan and Huainan areas to Guanzhong through Cao Yun.

An Lushan occupies Luoyang, and the Cao Yun road is impassable, so the grain naturally cannot be transported.

Previously, Li Yan fled westward, the rebels captured Chang'an, and the granaries in Guanzhong were looted.

Now the grain they use is all supplied by Longyou, where can the grain of Longyou meet the needs of Guanzhong?

Pei Min was stunned and said: "I ignored this, fortunately, Zishou reminded me, otherwise I would miss a big deal." How much more grain is left? ”

Zhang Jiuling said: "Barely sustain for a month!" ”

Pei Min thought for a while and said, "It's enough, I'm waiting for someone, as soon as he moves, my side moves." You immediately arrange it and inform the officials in Jiangnan that Caoyun will not think about it in the short term, and let Jiangnan pass the grain through the Xiangfan waterway and enter Gyeonggi from Wuguan. Extraordinary times, let them try to overcome them. ”

Zhang Jiuling immediately went down to do it.

Li Mi said: "Pei Shuai is waiting for Ge Shuhan to make an envoy?" ”

Pei Min smiled: "Not only that, but I also gave An Lushan a choice, let him choose whether to die early or die late......"
