The so-called shortcomings, in the final analysis, are "no money, no money, no money".

There is no money in the Hedong military treasury, there is no food in the warehouse, and the weapons in the armor treasury are relatively dull and weak, according to Li Ziliang's description, relying only on the money left by Bendao last year to spend military supplies, it will bottom out in two months, and if the fight continues, I am afraid that the Fengcheng army will mutiny.

So the imperial court could only take out the "household money" that Li Mi had reserved before his death and transfer it to the Fengcheng army and the Zhaoyi army.

Similarly, Li Jingluo's Zhenwu army and Han Tan's Xia Suiyin army were not optimistic, and they could only spend a lot of money to buy grain from Heshuo.

As a result, the Fengcheng Army and the Zhaoyi Army were also ineffective, or they fell into a vicious circle: there was no money, the morale of the armaments was not strong, and they could not gnaw at the fortress walls of the party; The imperial court could only stuff money in, but when the money arrived in the army, it could only be used to fill in the holes to pay off old debts, and there was no half penny or half a foot of cloth to improve armaments - in the end, the poorer and poorer it became, the more it could not win, and the more anxious the court became.

"Mr. has presided over the household money for three years, and his savings are almost six million, but now the war has only been a few months, and most of it has gone." The emperor watched as Li Mi's hard-earned household money was like snow in a boiling pot, melting away without a trace, and his heart was dripping blood.

On the front line of Yinzhou, Li Jingluo presided over the attack on Wancheng, which was also extremely unsmooth.

For the Xia people, they are the tribal system, the people are soldiers, hunting and nomadism are no different from fighting, there is a stutter and a horse to ride can fight, and winning with spoils of war is earned, in addition, Qingtianzi Yuanhui was originally nested in Tongwan City and was scared like a winter cricket, but in a blink of an eye, he saw the Tang family infighting, and then the most feared Gao Yue dismissed his post and left, and immediately became active again, and planned a plan to stick to Tongwan City:

More than 10,000 party items rode lightly, went out around the ten thousand cities, occupied water and grass, rivers, and passages, and the Tang army fled far away when they came to attack, and the Tang army plundered the grain road if it stopped, and Gao Chongwen and Kang Rizhi on the western front were short of troops, and they did not dare to cooperate with the advance, so that Li Jingluo returned with several sorties, and the losses were very large.

So that the proud Yuan Hui sent people directly to the Tang family to "beg to surrender", saying that he was willing to go to the title of Qingtianzi and the king of the Great Summer, and also resigned from the title of Zampu Zhong on the Xifan side, and then did not work for the king's division to go all the way to discuss, only to give me the title of the king of the county, the hereditary Tianzhu military festival envoy, and allowed to occupy You, Xia, and Yinzhou, and Yuan Hui even proposed to the Tang family, to follow the example of Hui Hui, and ask the emperor's daughter to be his wife, and other clan women in the clan to be his wife (to marry).

"Shame, great shame!" The emperor was furious, and said directly to Song Ruohua and Ruozhao sisters, and then he was so angry that he couldn't eat for several days.

In the end, Song Ruohua, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help it, so he said directly to the emperor who was lying on the rope bed without saying a word: "For the sake of the world, why don't the Holy Lord use Qihou again?" ”

The Emperor rolled over, snorted twice, and ignored her.

In the Yanying Palace, the emperor impatiently asked Dou Shen: Zhenwu, Fengcheng, and Zhaoyi armies are huge, and the imperial court is short of supplies, not only is the household money out of money, but it will immediately have to be supported by the two taxes of Jianghuai, what is Qing's opinion.

Dou Shen said, just leave this matter to the minister.

"But now that countless money has been spent, it is difficult to move an inch against the rebellious conquest!" The Emperor roared abruptly.

The sound shook the carved beams, and Dou Shen turned pale with shock, but he could only hold the wat board and didn't dare to reply.

Ban Hong's words over there made the emperor even more distressed: "Your Majesty, the Shenwei army has entered Yanzhou City, but the armies of Weibei, Suining, and Hezhong, which were originally stationed here, refuse to advance with the heir King (Li Zezhi). ”

What the?

You must know that the Shenwei Army is the last straw for the emperor now.

Then Ban Hong said: "These border soldiers all said that Shenwei and Shence can get the gift of dozens of money and silk every festival, and the emperor's grace is so generous, they should be allowed to go to the army. ”

"Then let Shenwei and Shence go to the army! On Weiming and Li Zezhi going first, if the battle is not good, I will drive the expedition in person! My ministers don't follow me, and my border army doesn't follow me, at least the forbidden army still follows me. The Emperor roared again.

A month later, the emperor almost vomited blood.

Outside the Guangshun Gate, Zhang Wanfu, a Shenwei general who had returned from the front line, asked to see him, and then the old general unceremoniously told the emperor the terrifying news:

At the mouth of Yanchuan, the soldiers and horses of Li Zezhi, Wang Xiqian and Lun Weiming had just been ambushed by the thieves of Liufu and suffered a big defeat, and nearly 3,000 of the sons of Shenwei and Shence were killed in the battle.

Hearing this result, the emperor only felt a sweetness in his throat, and half of his mouthful of blood was dangling there......

It turned out that Li Zezhi and Wei Ming led the army to Yanchuan, so they asked Li Ziliang and Wang Yangui to move closer to him, but the other party said that the whole army was short of pay and food, and there was no way to allocate money from Qingjian City.

In desperation, Li Zezhi could only lead about 15,000 people from Shenwei and Shence to cross Yanchuan and advance to the northeast, but encountered 20,000 or 30,000 party members of Prince Nixiang.

Last winter, after ordering the "settlement policy", after repairing the dock fort and grabbing the grain in Sui and Yin, the prince of Nixiang actually came back to life, and the party of the six provinces is now short of war horses, but it has also flexibly changed to the way of foot fighting.

The two sides fought against each other in Shegu Mountain, Li Zezhi had just become a Shenwei general, and the real power was still in the hands of Wang Xiqian, the eunuch Wang Xiqian, and Wang Xiqian had a habit when he was fighting, that is, he pulled out the strong tooth soldiers of the whole army, lined up on the battlefield to protect himself, and sent to the front were some weak people - not to mention, Wang Xiqian thought that Li Zezhi, the king of Yu, was here to rob his military power, and the cooperation between the two sides can be imagined - the six government party items first attacked savagely, breaking the front of the Shenwei army, and then the prince of Nixiang Zhang flanked him, and Wang Xiqian turned his head and led the troops to flee, Li Zezhi, Zhang Wanfu, Lun Weiming and other generals also inexplicably followed the defeat and retreated to Yanzhou City, and abandoned countless heavy armor battles, all of which were enemies.

When they arrived at the city, instead of condolences, they were ridiculed by the sergeants such as Baoda and Jingsai, and everyone stood at the head of the city and shouted: "Fifty white-collar silk cloths, but the army that does not know how to fight is triumphant!" ”

After describing the battle situation so far, Zhang Wanfu said hatefully, Your Majesty, the battle can no longer be fought like this, I suggest that Qi Hou should come out to take charge of Jieyue and control the battle situation.

"You!" The emperor was most taboo about others mentioning this.

But Zhang Wanfu is old, his hair is white, he does not shy away from it, and he is very frank, "Xifan is besieging Shazhou, if Shazhou falls, Anxi Xiting will be in danger; There are rebels in the country, and they must be exterminated. Now in extraordinary times, extraordinary people must be used, and the Holy Lord will not use Qi Hou only because of some small mistakes, and he will not take it for the Holy Lord. ”

"This, this, the bastard in the third year of high school ran away in a bad mood, and left a poem to humiliate me, how can it become my fault now......" The emperor was embarrassed in his heart.

But in the next few days, not only Zhang Wanfu, but also Wu Xianfu, the envoy of the Baoda Army, Hun Xuan, the deputy envoy of the decisive army, Wei Gao, the envoy of the Xichuan Jiedu, Du Huangshang, Fan Ze, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao, and Wu Miao, the envoy of Shaanxi Observation, all played petitions one after another, allowing Gao Yue to return to the helm of the army.

In the end, the counselor Yang Cheng also suddenly got up from the house, and then knelt outside the Guangshun Gate, shouting long live, and then went straight to the point, saying that the Qiang chaos was not Gao Yue could not be peaceful.

The crown prince of Shaoyang Academy, Li Yu, is also difficult to play, and the content is the same.

The emperor couldn't get off the stage, and when the two princesses Lingxu and Yiyang entered the palace, he said to the two daughters that they would accompany me to Yunyang Spring to hunt.
