Everyone looked at the proposal in their hands on the "Matters concerning the Establishment of a Provisional Autonomous Government for the People of Luoyang" and discussed a lot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This ......"

"It's just nonsense......"

"Out of order, out of order......

Wang Mai clasped his arms in front of his chest and looked coldly at the arguing Zheng officials in the hall. Two days have passed since the uprising, and everything is going well, but these Confucian scholars, who have been "invited" to be temporary government officials, seem to have quite objections to the new regime.

"Bang!" Song Laosan slapped the table, almost breaking up the not very reliable table, "Shut up the fuck." ”

Everyone was taken aback, and the hall fell silent for a while.

"Old Song, don't be rude." Wang Mai said.

"It's not that I'm rude," Song Laosan pointed to the people in the seat, "What's the use of these poor old Confucians who can only drop their bookbags, I've been reading every piece of paper for a long time, can I give a happy word?" ”

"You...... Insulting Sven ......" an elderly man pointed at Song Laosan tremblingly.

"What?" Song Laosan stared at the cow-like eyes, "If you are not convinced, get out of here now and drink porridge with those ordinary people." ”

"If you have something to say...... Du Yan stood up and pressed down the old Confucian beside him, this person was a member of his ministry.

"It's just one word, if it's not good, it's just two words, what to say?" Song Laosan looked fierce and vicious, "If you agree, you will eat dry, and if you don't agree, you will go out and drink thin." "The provisional government imposed martial law, and ordinary people could only barely survive on gruel with two meals a day. Only soldiers and administrative staff could eat dry food, and they were basically full.

"Let me explain." Wang Mai said, "The military operation in the past two days has basically brought Guo Chengquan under control, but this is a very unstable control. If we want the people to really support us, we must erect a big banner, this big flag is the provisional government, with this big flag, the people will have a sense of belonging, will support us from the heart, and we will have the capital to fight with Wang Shichong in the next step. ”

"If the name is not right, the word will not go well, and if the word is not good, it will not be done." Zheng Ying nodded, "But this autonomy ...... The people are ignorant, how can they be allowed to point fingers at the affairs of the court. ”

"Definitely!" Wang Mai said, "Autonomy is only to elect deputies from among the people to put forward opinions, indicating that we respect the will of the people, which is conducive to winning the hearts of the people, not really letting the people discuss matters." ”

"This ......" As soon as Wang Mai's voice fell, everyone exchanged heads again.

"We are now short of food and weapons, and we are simply unable to form an effective active attack, so we can only passively protect ourselves." Wang Mai said, "Wang Shichong still has tens of thousands of horses, and he will take action against us at any time, and if we want to keep the fruits of victory, we must rely on the strong support of the people of the whole city." ”

Now Luoyang City has formed a very strange situation, the Tang army is surrounding the periphery of Luoyang layer by layer, the Zheng army controls the territory near the city wall, and most of Guo Cheng has fallen into the hands of the rioting people, but the imperial city is in the hands of Wang Shichong, the whole Luoyang is like a sandwich biscuit, layer by layer is different.

I heard that Wang Shichong fell off his horse after a stroke that day, and he has been unconscious, which is estimated to be the reason why Zheng Jun has not been delayed in launching an operation.

There are only 30 fang cities in the northern city, and most of them are poor, and it is not difficult for them to follow them to carry out the revolution, but many people in the southern city can barely survive, and if you want these people to die in the ground, you must pull them under the banner of tiger skin.

Wang Shichong in the palace city had already woken up, and the eunuch beside him trembled and helped him up from the bed, and as soon as his feet landed, he felt his body fall to the side uncontrollably, and the eunuch hurriedly helped him.

"Get out!" Wang Shichong pushed the eunuch down and tried to stand firmly, but as soon as he left the eunuch's support, he fell firmly to the ground.

"Slaves and maids should be damned......" The eunuch kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"......Squeak" The palace door was pushed open, Wang Xuanshu walked in, and saw his father who fell to the ground hurriedly stepped forward to help him to the bed.

"Daddy......" Wang Xuanshu couldn't cry when he saw his father's tragic situation.

"What are you crying about?" Wang Shichong scolded, "I'm not dead yet. ”

Wang Xuanshu wiped his tears and knelt in front of Wang Shichong's knees: "Daddy, you have to take care of your body......"

Wang Shichong touched his son's head: "Is there any news from your brother?" ”

Wang Xuanshu shook his head: "The Tang army has cut off the connection between Luoyang and the outside world, and it is difficult to send news out of the city." ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "How many times has the Tang army attacked the city?" ”

"It's been three days in a row, but they've all been repulsed......"

Wang Shichong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Even if I am defeated in that battle, it will not be easy for the Tang army to capture Luoyang for a while. ”

"But......" Wang Xuanshu hesitated, but still told him the news that Guo Cheng had fallen into the hands of the rebels.

"Wang Mai......" Wang Shichong grabbed Wang Xuanshu's neckline, "How can he, a petty official with no soldiers and no power, have such courage?" ”

"It's true," Wang Xuanshu was taken aback by his father's actions, "He had planned it before, and the destruction of the bell tower that day was all due to his treacherous plan......"

"How could it be...... How could it be ......" Wang Shichong lowered his hand weakly and muttered to himself.

"What about your uncle? Why didn't he take people to execute all these rioters? Wang Shichong refers to Wang Shiyun, who is the biggest principal of the Wang family besides him.

"In the past few days, the Tang army has been attacking the city, and it can't draw troops to quell the chaos at all, so it can only let the mob rage." Wang Xuanshu explained, "The mob tried to approach the city gate several times, but was repulsed...... But ......"

"Say!" Wang Shichong asked with hatred gritting his teeth.

"There are many people who defect to the enemy, and the rebels have elected them to set up a 'provisional government'......," Wang Xuanshu said hesitantly.

"These fools!" Wang Shichong scolded, "Wait for me to defeat the Tang army, and wait for them to be beheaded Ling Chi to vent his hatred!" ”

Wang Xuanshu lowered his head when he heard this, now Luoyang is in a mess, and he can barely protect himself, how can he have the spare strength to fight with the Tang army again.

Wang Shichong looked at his son's expression and knew what he was thinking, he patted his son on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the reinforcements will arrive in less than a month." ”

"But most of my Dazheng land has fallen, and only Luoyang City is left, where are the reinforcements?" Wang Xuanshu asked puzzled.

"Dou Jiande has been sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, don't you know that you should be a father?" Wang Shichong smiled coldly, "Now that the snipe and the clam are competing, it is time for the fisherman to profit." ”

At the crossing of the Yellow River, Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, was riding on a horse to urge his soldiers to hurry up to cross the river, and suddenly saw his scout horse escorting a stumbling man towards him.

"King, we have caught a meticulous work that spies on the military situation of our army."

"I'm not a fine worker," the man struggled and shouted at Dou Jiande on the horse, "I'm Wang Xuanying, the crown prince of the Great Zheng Kingdom." ”

"If you are the crown prince of Zheng Guo?" Dou Jiande jumped off the horse and walked in front of Wang Xuanying to take a closer look, this young man was less than thirty years old, he didn't know how far he had walked, he looked like he was sleeping in the open, the shoes on his right foot were worn out, revealing a swollen toe with blood, and the clothes on his body looked tattered, and he could vaguely distinguish that it was Zheng Jun's clothing.

"Luoyang is in danger, I'm here to ask for help, where is King Xia?" Wang Xuan asked in a hoarse voice.

"Are you really the Prince of Zheng Guo?" Dou Jiande frowned and asked again.

"I have in my arms a letter from my father to the Tiger Prison guards to mobilize grain and grass, which can verify my identity." Wang Xuanying said.

The soldier next to him fumbled in his arms for a long time when he heard this, and finally took out the letter he said and handed it to Dou Jiande.

Dou Jiande opened the letter and nodded: "Sure enough, it's Prince Zhengguo, release him!" ”

Wang Xuanying was let go, and looked at Dou Jiande eagerly: "Take me to see King Xia, I want to state the situation to him in person!" ”

"I'm the Xia King you want to see." Dou Jiande said, "If there is anything, just say it directly." ”

"You are the Xia King?" Wang Xuanying looked at the middle-aged soldier in front of him carefully, and he couldn't believe it.

"That's right, what you are looking at is our King of the Xia Kingdom!" The soldier next to him confirmed.

No wonder these people called the person in front of them the king just now, Wang Xuanying fell to the ground when he heard the words: "Wang Xuanying should visit King Xia!" ”

"No need to be polite." Dou Jiande waved his hand, "You said Luoyang is in danger?" ”

"That's right......" Wang Xuanying got up and told Dou Jiande about the crisis in Luoyang, "...... Please King Xia for the sake of the good friendship between the two countries, he must give a helping hand, and I will not forget the kindness of Xia in the future. ”

Dou Jiande nodded, asked someone to take Wang Xuanying down to rest, and hurriedly summoned the generals in the army to discuss the matter.

"King, our army is going to attack Meng Haigong this time, but now it is going to change the route to save Zheng, how can you be so rash?" All the generals have a negative opinion on the rescue of Zheng Guo.

"King!" Liu Bin, a scholar from Zhongshushe, stood up, "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the Xia Kingdom, the Tang Kingdom, and the Zheng State are originally a three-legged trend, and now the Zheng Dynasty is not in danger, once the Tang Army takes Luoyang, the next attack will inevitably be our Xia Kingdom, and now the two countries have been fighting under Luoyang City for half a year, it is a good time for us to take advantage of the situation, and the opportunity cannot be lost." ”

Liu Bin had proposed to him a plan to rescue Zheng Guo before, if he defeated the Tang army and protected Wang Shichong, he would be able to maintain a three-point situation for a long time. If the Tang army is defeated, take the opportunity to eliminate Wang Shichong, concentrate the forces of the two countries, take advantage of the defeat of the Tang army, and take Guanzhong directly, and the Xia State will occupy half of the country, and within ten years, the world can be pacified. Dou Jiande very much agreed with this strategy, but he didn't expect that the Tang army would progress so quickly and Wang Shichong would be so incompetent.

"Luoyang is the world, there are countless gold and silver cloths, once our army rescues Luoyang, presumably Wang Shichong will not treat our Xia army badly." Dou Jiande said, "Meng Haigong only occupies the land of the two states, even if he fights it, it won't do much good, what do you think?" He knows very well the generals under his command, if he wants to convince them, it is useless to be reasonable, he must lure them to his advantage.

"The king has a point." When the generals heard this, their eyes lit up.
