Chapter 558: Chang'an Changes
This lobbyist is also a very high-status figure in Hongmen, and the negotiation failed, and Guo Jian did not dare to harm him, but sent troops to escort him out of the county seat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this is already the third guest he has received. Yan Wenxiang, Jing Xia Demon, and even foreigners. The forces of all sides have prescribed different conditions, anti-water, adaptation, or use for their purposes.
In the hands of these people, they either have money or food, all of which are materials urgently needed to save the country, but the conditions are also more harsh than the other.
"I, Guo Jian, can't take my brother's life to be a stepping stone for my promotion and fortune, if I do that, what kind of face do I have! It's a big deal, go back to the mountains as a swordsman, disband the troops, and love wherever you want. That is, I wronged you. ”
Stroking the jade hand of his concubine, Guo Jian couldn't help but feel short of breath again.
When Guo Jianbing entered Tongguan, Yang Yuzhu personally presided over the defense, and the invulnerability of Qiangbai's defense, and Zhao Guanhou's strategy of dividing troops to take Qiangbai failed to work. Later, he sent a mobile force to greet her husband, Yunwen Yunwu, which can be called an internal helper. She smiled and said:
"Follow you, I am not afraid of how much hardship I endure. At the beginning, I was a woman in the troupe, I was bullied, you saved me, for me, you cut more than a dozen people with a knife, and you were covered in blood. When I drugged you, I swore that I would follow you for the rest of my life. If you want to go back to the mountain to be a swordsman, I will follow you, and then go to be a woman and run to the dock to perform arts. But that's not the time for that. There are immortal moves in dead chess, and maybe there is a turnaround. ”
"Turnaround? At this step, there is no turning point. ”
"Why not? As long as you're not jealous, I have a way. Yang Yuzhu turned his eyes, and pointed on the map with his slender fingers, where two words "Chang'an" were written in extremely scribbled handwriting
Guanzhong is victorious, and the wealth is nothing more than Chang'an. Especially since the rise of the Ge Ming Army, the situation of the civilian army on the ground in Shaanxi is complicated, and there are police everywhere. Hundreds of people can form an army, and a thousand horsemen can be crowned governors. Asking for food and food needs to be excessive.
Rich people from all over the country mostly fled to the provincial capital, after all, there are high walls and thick walls, and there are the most warlike troops in the province, which is safer than other cities. It is the wealth of Chang'an, crowned in Shaanxi. Even within the provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo, Chang'an has to be regarded as the first.
Since taking office, the number of taxes has increased, and it has become more and more difficult for the people to survive, and his own pockets have become extraordinarily rich. At present, in Shaanxi, in this chaotic era of soldiers, only elite soldiers can protect themselves, and they rely on Feng Huanzhang for everything. Now that Feng Huanzhang is in the hands of Zhao Guanhou, his life has become a little difficult.
Looking at the piled up documents, he had a headache, Feng Huanzhang dealt with these before, relaxed and happy, but as soon as it came to his head, he felt as if it was an insurmountable peak, which made him daunting.
These official affairs are annoying to watch, but they can't help but take care of them. At present, the most important thing in Shaanxi is military and political affairs, and half of these official documents are related to military affairs.
In the small county of Shangnan, it is difficult to raise large soldiers, Yan Wenxiang hoped in his heart that Zhao Guanhou would move into Chang'an, and he was willing to give way. However, most of the Salvation Monarch was on the front line of Puxian and Qiangbai, and as soon as the Lu army moved, the safety of Shangnan became a problem.
Yan Wenxiang himself is very self-aware, he doesn't have such a great ability to fight, and all he can do is to prepare a grain station to ensure the logistics supply of the Lu army. As long as this is done, there is no need for Zhao Guanhou to deliberately trouble himself. So after sitting down, he just flipped through the official document casually and shouted: "Someone! ”
He acted like the former Governor of Jin, with staff around him, and several old masters rushed over, Yan Wenxiang didn't look at official business, and asked directly: "How is the preparation of the grain station?" Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, we must ensure the grain, grass and military uniforms of the Lu army. If something goes wrong with Lu Jun, the president will definitely not let us go, and when the time comes, no one will be better! ”
"Rest assured, the Overseers have prepared twenty-five thousand stone of food, and seven thousand cotton garments. In addition, a 10,000-yuan fold was prepared and given to the crown as a tribute. ”
The master reported the number, and seeing that Yan Wenxiang had no opinion, he continued: "But...... Now there are more and more refugees in Chang'an City, which is not a good phenomenon. I heard that it was the front-line soldiers who were evacuated from the disaster, and they all ran to Chang'an, and the streets and alleys were full of ...... in the past two days."
In order to prevent assassination, Yan Wenxiang rarely went out, and only went out in the yamen every day, admiring the beautiful feet of the maid or the whole sheep banquet. He had just heard about these situations, and he was stunned, "There are so many refugees?" ”
"Exactly. Therefore, I hope that the Overseers will give some food to the victims......"
"Nonsense! If I don't give relief, there are still disaster victims, if I release relief, not all the disaster victims in the province will run to Chang'an, how much food can fill such a big hole? If there are refugees, don't be afraid, if you starve for a few days and starve thousands of people to death, you will know that I don't care about food, so I will naturally go elsewhere. Refugees, I've seen a lot, that's it, the more you coax, the worse it gets, and the hungry they will be. Also, a battalion of soldiers was transferred to protect the warehouse, and the refugees were on the lookout for food. These grains are prepared for the Lu army, and not a single bag is allowed to be moved, and I will personally inspect it at that time. ”
"Obey."
Several staff members reluctantly withdrew, and the original idea of reselling a batch of grain through the relief fell through, and the promised fee could not be collected, and they were not happy. A stocky officer walked in from the outside, met with his staff, and nodded to each other.
This man is the leader of Yan Wenxiang's newly promoted Zhao'an, and his nickname is Zijin Liang. Yan Wenxiang is incompetent, relying on Feng Huanzhang for everything in the past, and now militarily, he relies on this Zijin Liang.
The two met, ignoring each other, Zijin Liang walked inside, with a strange smile on his face, "Handsome, I congratulate you on my humble position." ”
"What's the joy? It's not that Zhao'an didn't succeed, what's so good about this. Originally, I wanted to let the two tigers compete for food, but none of them ate oil and salt, these 100,000 people are here, and they can't have a good time for years, so what else is there to be happy about. ”
"This joy is related to that joy. Although Guo Jian refused to come down, his mother-in-law came and brought a troupe to perform to the handsome. ”
Yan Wenxiang was stunned: "His wife?" You mean, who's that? ”
"Yang Yuzhu! Our famous Yang Fairy in Guanzhong, a good martial artist, that waist, that leg ......" Zijin Liang showed a weird smile on his face, "Handsome and wise, he must be able to figure it out, Guo Jian wants to recruit An, but he can't pull his face to offer his name, so he has to ask his mother-in-law to come to Dashuai to run joints." That woman was originally from the rivers and lakes, not a lady, and her trouser belt may not be tight. Congratulations to the marshal, today I will start with a small Dengke, and in the future, I will all the way to the next level, and I will be a peace marshal in Shaanxi. ”
Yan Wenxiang was also overjoyed, and nodded and said, "Okay!" Quickly call her in, let me take a look, order to go down, prepare a banquet, and I will entertain this Qinchuan fairy well. ”
Although the people in Chang'an City feel that there are more and more refugees, and they are all young and strong, some of them feel that something is wrong. But these refugees are very honest, they neither steal nor violate the ban, they do nothing but beg, and since the government does not care, the common people have no way to interfere, so they can only watch them from afar.
The refugees themselves also have their own circles, or dozens of people, or hundreds of people, entrenched in one place, and do not interact with each other. The only suspicious person is the head of the group who originally controlled the begging power in Chang'an, but he mysteriously disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown.
Dozens of refugees chose a dilapidated Guandi temple as a shelter, and in the dripping and icy weather, they huddled around the fire in only single clothes, still shivering with cold.
A ragged man walked in from the outside on crutches, glanced around, and then walked behind the idol. Behind the statue of Emperor Guan, a man covered his face with a felt hat and did not say a word until the man approached, and his arm moved slightly.
A white light flashed, and there was already an extra steel knife on the crutch man's neck.
"It's me."
"Cripple, what's the matter?" The knife disappeared as he spoke.
"Big brother, it's done."
Hearing these four words, the man's body trembled for a moment, as if he had been shot by a gun, but then regained his composure. "Reliable?" These two words seem to be said only after gritting their teeth, and in their voices, they can hear the killing intent.
"It's very reliable, the news from the Overseer's Office that Yan Wenxiang went to call a banquet and sang in the office tonight. It's my sister-in-law's troupe. ”
The lame man looked at the man and said hesitantly: "I think, it's better for us to start earlier, Yan Wenxiang is not a good product, he is late to start, I am afraid that my sister-in-law will suffer!" ”
"Don't worry about it, do your own thing, don't ask anything else." Guo Jian said angrily: "It's too early to start, and we are the ones who will suffer." This time, I didn't bring Fu Hanjun, and I didn't even bring Hu Siwa, I just didn't want to use the power of outsiders to make people look down. We don't have many guys in our hands, there is a brigade in the city, and if we fight early, we may have to stiffen ...... Trust your sister-in-law, she can handle it. ”
"Brothers, I still have to ask for a charter, and what kind of rules are it when it is done."
Guo Jian's troops are not very disciplined, but they must also have some scruples about this kind of big city. According to Yang Yuzhu's suggestion, Guo must strictly abide by military discipline and create an image of a righteous teacher in order to win the hearts of the people with the Lu army.
Guo Jian also wanted to follow his wife's instructions and order that discipline must be observed. However, he couldn't help but think of his wife's unparalleled beauty and perfect body, whether such a jade body could be preserved tonight, whether it still belonged to him Guo Jian alone, or whether it was for another man, he couldn't grasp it at all.
Although Yuzhu has a body of martial arts, but in the tiger's den, everything cannot be autonomous, and martial arts are not of much use...... He tried not to think about it, but in reality, he couldn't do it. If Yuzhu really ...... I won't blame her, after all, it was to solve the crisis of the army that she came up with this beauty plan. The use of this kind of strategy, the slightest carelessness, this kind of sacrifice, is inevitable.
However, if your own wife may be insulted, why should you protect the innocence of other people's wives? If it weren't for these high-ranking families and gentry in the city, why would he have come to this point? His heart was crossed, and he said to the lame man: "Foreigners are not allowed to enter the place, whoever runs to the church and the foreign company is considered lucky, and foreign women are not allowed to play." The rest, you can toss it! ”
The lame man nodded excitedly and turned to leave. The winter night comes very early, and the New Year is coming in Chang'an, and thousands of households are all in a festive atmosphere. No one could have imagined that a catastrophe was about to befall them, destruction, imminent.
"Dashuai, emergency electricity!"
When the telegram arrived in Shangnan, Zhao Guanhou was in Fengzhi's room. This smug senior sister finally got her wish and became pregnant with Zhao Guanhou's child. Liu Peixuan's ancestors are imperial doctors, and she herself has been a doctor since elementary school, and she is quite good at medicine. Zhao Guanhou simply let her stay, serve Feng Zhi, and keep the child.
Feeling the warmth of her junior brother, Feng Zhi actually cried her nose, "I...... I finally have your flesh and blood, and you have to be good to me and good to our son. I spoil me the most, and I spoil our son the most. ”
"Okay, whatever you say, just don't cry. Crying is not good for the health of pregnant women. Yan Wenxiang, that guy, invite me to Chang'an for the New Year, I can't leave now. But when I have the kung fu, I can go to enjoy the spring if I don't go to the New Year. When the time comes, let's take you and let's go to see the eight views of Chang'an. ”
"Then you are only allowed to bring me one, not even Sister Hanzhi." Feng Zhi took advantage of being pregnant and began to coquettish "at most...... Take Pei Xuan, I have a child now, and I can't serve you, so let her do it for you. But after I give birth, you will still be my own, and she is not allowed to come forward. ”
"Who to bring, go back and discuss, in short, don't cry. No matter how busy the military is, I will find time to play with you, what else do you have to cry about. ”
Just as he was saying love words and coaxing Feng Zhi, Gao Sheng sent the telegram over, the telegram at this time must be an urgent telegram, Zhao Guanhou got up in his clothes and took the telegram, Liu Peixuan had already lit the oil lamp neatly with his hands and feet, and moved the lamp over to illuminate it. Zhao Guanhou hastily read the telegram, and then shook his head, the trip to Chang'an, I am afraid that it will be in advance.
Yan Wenxiang was killed, Chang'an was lost, and the money and grain stored in the treasury were looted by Guo, and the city of Chang'an was also looted by Guo Jian, and the losses could not be counted for the time being. The 1st Brigade, which was originally stationed in Chang'an City, suffered heavy losses, and a large number of weapons and ammunition were lost. Guo Jian's department, which was originally sitting in the city of sorrow, made this windfall and regained momentum.
What's even more worrying, after Guo Bu sacked Chang'an, he transferred to Huaxian County and harassed Tongguan. This cannot but be taken seriously. There is a geographical advantage of Jingziguan in the south, and the materials from Henan can be transported to Shangnan.
Holding Shangnan, you can also avoid the retreat of the white department, but in winter, the river is frozen, the waterway is not passable, and the land route is not very easy to walk. There is a railway in Tongguan, which enters Chang'an from Tongguan and is the only way to pay at present.
Guo Bu is in Huaxian County, and he can cut off the Lu army's salary at any time, so that the supply of the Lu army is in crisis. The Lu army, which originally wanted to fight steadily, could only defend and attack at this time. Zhao Guanhou looked at Liu Peixuan, "Do you want to go home?" Do you want to be your father? I'll take you home to see, are you happy? (To be continued.) )
