Li Bao was still looking at the fleeing convoy from afar, and Hu Sanbao hurried from under the city tower with a cold air. %77%77%77%2e%76%6f%64%74%77%2e%63%6f%6d

"Lang Jun is right, that Tian Lingzi really sent the Shence army to our Ji Wang's house, intending to be unfavorable to us, where are the slaves and maids waiting for us, a few palm thunders scared those wastes away. But let's let go of the old dog like this, the slave is really unwilling", Hu Sanbao said indignantly.

Li Bao smiled, "Don't care about the gains and losses at this time, we can be regarded as truly free now." They are gone, and we have the final say in this Chang'an City. ”

Hu Sanbao also smiled when he heard it, "What Lang Jun said is that now in Chang'an City, our Weiyuan Army is controlling the city defense, but what about those officials in the DPRK and China?" ”

Li Bao thought for a while, and then said: "You immediately send our people to the high-ranking officials in the city to report the news that the official family has been coerced by Tian Lingzi and has been 'touring westward' Shuzhong, and if they are willing to chase after the official family, tell them that we can let them out of the city." ”

When Hu Sanbao heard Li Bao say this, he laughed, in this way, Tian Lingzi's reputation is completely stinky. When the time comes, it will be up to us to see if there is a face to live in this world again.

Li Bao also smiled, and after Hu Sanbao left, he didn't stop, and immediately drove to Yang Yan's mansion. Now that the emperor has fled westward, the most important thing in the entire Chang'an City is that there are still the wealth collected this year in the household department and the inner treasury.

Nowadays, Xinglong Qianzhuang has issued "flying money", and all the financial contributions of each feudal town are deposited in the national treasury, and the expenditure is still spent with flying money.

With the sum of the current treasury and the inner treasury reaching six million, Li Bao does not intend to leave this huge amount of money to Huang Chaojun. Taking advantage of the fact that Huang Chaojun had not yet arrived in Chang'an, what he had to do was to transport this batch of treasures out of Chang'an City as soon as possible.

As long as the transportation is completed, Li Bao will have no worries, and Huang Chao wants the empty city of Chang'an, so it will be good for him.

However, the wealth of the Tang Dynasty was mainly copper coins, and gold, silver, and jade were not the main currencies. Therefore, the financial endowment of 6 million guan was very inefficient for the transportation conditions at that time.

The money couldn't be left behind, and Li Bao couldn't bear it, so he discussed with Yang Yan for a long time and finally came up with a way, since he couldn't get it away, he would hide it. Bury all the money you can't take away.

Copper coins are easy to store and are not afraid of damage, as long as they are well controlled against water and moisture. As for the location of the money, Li Bao didn't plan to work too hard, just in the courtyard of the imperial city, there was a well in a secluded place, and Li Bao arranged for his cronies to dig a big dark room on the side wall of the well.

As for the waterproofing and masonry of the darkroom, the cement produced in Weizhou is used to stabilize the type, and Zhang Chengye was also very reluctant after receiving the order to transport all the recently produced cement to Chang'an.

This new type of building material is nothing short of a fetish, and it is possible to make something so magical using only limestone and clay. The construction of Weizhou City was at a critical moment, but Li Bao's order was strict, and he did not dare to disobey it, so he reluctantly complied with it.

When Li Bao rushed to Yang Yan's mansion, Yang Yan was not in the mansion, and when he asked, he learned that Yang Yan was still in the household department and had not returned. Thinking about it, it's such a big sum of money, who wouldn't pay attention to it?

It's just that now that the emperor has fled west, he must discuss with Yang Yan and others about the next arrangements and countermeasures. Since Yang Yan was in the imperial city, Li Bao instructed his attendants to inform Jingzhao Yin Zhao Zhizhao, Weiyuan's military envoy Zhang Zhifang, and the prime minister of the political hall to hold a meeting in the imperial city.

Hu Sanbao had already instructed Jin Luanwei's people to inform the high-ranking officials of the news that the emperor and Tian Lingzi had fled westward, and when Li Bao rushed to the imperial city, the entire Daming Palace and the imperial city were in chaos.

Many officials cried regardless of their prestige, crying for a while for the emperor and crying for a while, and some officials couldn't think of looking for death, but fortunately there were colleagues pulling them, otherwise there would be many more loyal ministers who died in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Bao looked at this mess, and regretted a little in his heart that he asked Hu Sanbao to inform them, he should have discussed it with the relevant personnel before spreading the news. It's too late to regret it now, and he can't restrain these officials now.

But when Zhang Zhifang arrives, it should be better. He has soldiers in his hands, and the Weiyuan army under him is much stronger than Tian Lingzi's Shence army, at least the combat effectiveness and discipline are stronger than the chaotic Shence army.

Li Bao found Yang Yan, and at the same time found that several prime ministers in the political hall were actually there, Li Bao smiled. "All the ministers are here, this has saved a lot of effort, I think everyone knows the news of the official family's western tour."

As soon as Li Bao finished speaking, in addition to Yang Yan, others such as Pei Tan, Pei Che, Wang Hui, Yu Liang and Dou Lu Yao were also embarrassed, and the Tang Emperor to whom they were loyal left them and left, treating them as outcasts. Is there anything more chilling in the world than this?

Dou Lu Yao was even more angry, he had always been good friends with Tian Lingzi, but now that Huang Chao was approaching Chang'an, he kicked all the black pots to himself, and now he was even more so that he left himself and fled with the emperor.

Dou Lu Yao looked at Li Bao and Yang Yan, the pair of masters and apprentices didn't have any panicked looks at the emperor fleeing west, he guessed if this King Ji knew that the official family would flee early on?

But he didn't dare to ask this question, and even if he asked, King Ji wouldn't answer. So he closed his mouth knowingly, just thinking about what Li Bao had planned.

Li Bao glanced at Yang Yan, and then Yang Yan followed him to the outer hall, which is the household department of the imperial city, since the Xuanzong Dynasty, the political hall in the Daming Palace is where the prime ministers work. Now that these prime ministers are all gathered here, it can be seen that they are all here to ask Yang Yan for advice.

Li Bao didn't want to deal with these people yet, so he called Yang Yan out first, preparing to discuss it with him first before making a decision.

I don't want their master and apprentice to just walk out of the outer hall, Zhao Zhizhao and Zhang Zhifang arrived one after another. Li Bao looked at it, since everyone had arrived, it was better to have a meeting first.

So Li Bao beckoned them to go to the headquarters of Xinglong Qianzhuang in the household department, which was safe and secluded, and now the personnel of Xinglong Qianzhuang have basically moved away, so there are basically no people there.

When the four of them arrived at the place, they sat down one after another, and then ordered the people to start a charcoal fire, and when they landed, the temperature in the room rose, and everyone had warmth. After being served hot tea, they were more comfortable.

Now that the emperor has fled west, Li Baoben can also leave, but he has to stay and delay for a while for the sake of the wealth in the treasury. At this time, he and several of his henchmen had to come up with some strategies in order to better stabilize Chang'an City.

Li Bao was not polite, and said straight to the point: "The official family fled west, but we can't leave yet, what should we do now, I want to hear everyone's opinions, you can talk about it." ”

Zhao Zhizhao was actually very reluctant to stay here, but he knew in his heart that he was a literati in this chaotic season, and there was only one way to die alone. Besides, he doesn't know where to go now, so he has to make up his mind to follow Li Bao, although Li Bao is extremely intelligent, but his heart is not bad, and he must not leave him alone if he follows him.

So in order to show his loyalty, Zhao Zhizhao hurriedly spoke: "What does the king mean, now we can't leave Chang'an?" So what should we do? The Huangchao bandit army will arrive soon, and the king must make plans early! ”

As soon as Li Bao heard that every piece of was still messy, he ignored him, just snorted and didn't speak.

When Zhao Zhizhao saw Li Bao's expression, he knew that he had made Li Bao angry, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Yang Yan glanced at Zhao Zhizhao with disdain, and then said: "Liulang shouldn't have announced the news of the official's western tour so early, and now if we want to defend Chang'an City, we must block the news." Otherwise, once the people in the city know that the official family is not in the capital, the people's hearts will be scattered at that time, and we will be passive. ”

Li Bao also regretted it, but now that the matter has come out, he can only find a way to solve it. So he said to Zhang Zhifang: "Zhang Jun asked you to arrange people to control the imperial city and the Daming Palace, and all the officials are not allowed to leave, and we will discuss it after we have discussed it properly." ”

Zhang Zhifang got the order and immediately ordered people to do it, although he didn't have many people, but he was also capable, but it was useless for these officials to stay in Chang'an.

Li Bao thought for a while and said: "It's useless for these officials to stay in Chang'an, it's better for us to gather them together, ask who is willing to follow the officials, and secretly let them out of the city, saying that they are not allowed to carry too many things when they leave, and they are only allowed to go out of the city in a light car." What do you think of the confiscation of the property they left behind as soon as they leave, and use it to encourage the soldiers and soldiers who defend the city? ”

Everyone thinks that Li Bao is doing this very well, and those who are willing to leave can only take away part of the family property, that is, part of the floating wealth, and the family house and the food gathered in the house are the most important.

After discussing this matter, the next thing is to defend the city, and it is not easy for those thieves in Chang'an City, who want to attack the city, which is also one of the reasons why Li Bao plans to stay and defend the city.

The total number of troops on the left and right sides of the Weiyuan Army is only more than 4,000 people, and these people are too few to defend Chang'an City, so Li Bao has to find a way to gather the soldiers and generals who defend the city.

Of course, there is no shortage of soldiers in Chang'an City, there are tens of thousands of people in the Shence Army alone, but they are greedy for life and fear of death and have no combat effectiveness, so they must find a good future.

At this time, Li Bao thought of Zhang Chengfan, who went to Tongguan to guard, this person was loyal to the Tang Dynasty but was heartbroken by the emperor and Tian Lingzi, but Li Bao and Tian Lingzi were different, so he was confident that he could recruit them.

Zhang Chengfan because the army looted the neighborhood of Chang'an a few days ago, and then ran to the outskirts of the city with the rout, at this time, as long as they sent people to recruit, they would definitely be willing to return.

However, the person who went to recruit him must be chosen, and as for who to choose, Li Bao thought about it and thought about whether it was safest to go by himself.

In addition to Zhang Chengfan, there are also Ximen Kuangfan, the lieutenant of the right army of the Shence Army, the privy envoy Ximen Sigong, and Wu Yipin, these eunuchs are worth wooing, after all, they are nominal military commanders.

"This matter will be handed over to Master Yang to contact them, and the most important thing at this time is to save their lives, and they will definitely not shirk it. If they are not willing to defend in Chang'an City, we will not force them, and we can let them go. ”

Yang Yan nodded in agreement.

Li Bao turned to Zhao Zhizhao, "The most important thing for Zhao Dayin at this time is to appease the people in the city, and once an official leaves their property, the inventory and custody of their property will be in charge of the people in Jingzhao Mansion." ”

There are still a lot of bloody people in the city with nearly a million people, and as long as we are willing to pay for it, there will definitely be brave men who will respond to us.

Li Bao and the three of them discussed some details, and then the meeting ended, at this time is the most precious, and there can be no delay.

Li Bao walked out of the house, looked at the winter sun that was about to burst out, and breathed a breath of cold air, and a sense of pride in his heart slowly grew with that cool breath, and it was time for a good man to show his courage!
