Chapter 257: Fierce Battle of Chang'an 5 Ask for Subscription!
It turned out that Li Bao wanted to go to bed early and get up early was basically a luxury, and he was woken up by Hu Sanbao after just two hours of sleep. He rubbed his sour eyes and yawned, watching Hu Sanbao wait for him to tell him what had happened.
"Lang Jun, the secret agents we arranged have confirmed that Huang Chaojun believes the rumors we spread yesterday, and they will send people to attack Chang'an City tomorrow. Do you want to send someone to 'chance' meet them? ”
Hu Sanbao's face was a little excited, after all, it was the first time they had done such a trick, if they could succeed, then for him, the sense of accomplishment was not at all.
Li Bao yawned again, he nodded without thinking about it: "Just act according to the plan, has it been arranged at the Vermilion Bird Gate?" ”
Hu Sanbao smiled and said: "Lang Jun, don't worry, our arrangements have been placed in the morning, just waiting for them to come." But when the time comes, who will go to the deception arrange? ”
Listening to Hu Sanbao's question, a person immediately flashed in Li Bao's mind, he picked up the clothes on the side of the bed, and was ready to get up. Hu Sanbao hurriedly came up to help Li Bao get dressed.
After getting dressed, Li Bao said, "Just let Zhang Junenvoy go." ”
Hu Sanbao subconsciously agreed to a "no" when he heard it, but he thought about it and remembered that there were now two Zhang military envoys in this city, and he couldn't be sure, so he said tentatively: "Zhang Junan of the Shence Army?" ”
Li Bao said impatiently, "Zhang Junenvoy of the Weiyuan Army! ”
Hu Sanbao was shocked when he heard this, "This Weiyuan Army Zhang Zhifang is Li Bao's in-laws, if those thieves don't distinguish between good and bad, in case they hurt Zhang Jun's envoy, how can Lang Jun explain to Zhang Duwei and the noble lord of Changning, does Lang Jun think twice?" ”
Li Bao muttered dissatisfiedly: "Hugh has to say more, this is his errand." ”
Hu Sanbao didn't dare to say more, he shut up, quietly withdrew from the palace, instructed the palace people to send washing utensils to Li Bao, and instructed the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Li Bao, and finally went out of the palace and went straight to the direction of the imperial city.
Now that the emperor is no longer in the city, Li Bao's identity is sensitive, so Li Bao discussed with Yang Yan and others, the command center in the city was placed in the imperial city, and the Daming Palace was temporarily closed.
Zhang Zhifang, Yang Yan, Zhao Zhizhao, Zhang Chengfan, Liu Jishu and Li Bao formed the Chang'an City Defense Headquarters. Hu Sanbao, as Li Bao's personal entourage, can also be regarded as a member of the command.
When Hu Sanbao came to the room of the Imperial City's Internal Affairs Hall, Zhang Zhifang, Zhang Chengfan and Zhao Zhizhao were still working nervously.
When the three of them saw Hu Sanbao coming, they nodded to him and said hello. After Hu Sanbao saluted the three of them, he said, "A certain has already returned to Lang Jun, and he said that he would act according to the original plan. As for the candidates to go to the deception, Lang Jun felt that Zhang Junenvoy was the most suitable. ”
Hu Sanbao faced Zhang Zhifang, who naturally understood which Zhang military envoy Li Bao was talking about.
Zhang Zhifang didn't say anything after listening to Hu Sanbao's words, he said in a deep voice: "It's okay, it's just right for a certain family to do this matter." ”
Li Bao's arrangement made Liu Jishu, Zhang Chengfan and Zhao Zhizhao a little moved.
After all, Zhang Zhifang is Li Bao's in-laws, and his son Zhang Qingping and Li Bao are close friends. Going to the enemy camp to defraud and surrender is such a life-or-death thing, and Zhao Zhizhao, a person who has been tainted, has not been arranged, nor has he arranged Zhang Chengfan, who is newly attached, and it can be seen that King Ji's means of employing people have gone to a higher level.
Now that the high-ranking officials and magnates in the city are basically gone, this time they stayed to accompany Li Bao to guard Chang'an, which shows that Li Bao has accepted them as his core team.
On the eve of the coming troubled times, even the emperor was so frightened that he ran away, but this young clan was willing to risk the world and provoke the banner of the Li Tang royal family, so as to set an example for all the people in the world. The Tang Dynasty is not dead, and there are still people in the Li Tang royal family.
Zhao Zhizhao and others just took a fancy to Li Bao's potential, and believed that Li Bao, the king of Ji, could lead them to create a new prosperous era, and this kind of vision is not something that ordinary people can have.
However, these are all false, and only finding a way to survive the difficulties in front of them is serious. So after Hu Sanbao rumored to leave, Zhang Zhifang and others began to discuss the next deployment.
………………………………
On the evening of the winter day, just after 6:00, the sky was still foggy, and Xu Shisan, a sentry in the vanguard camp of the Huangchao Army, yawned and held his hands, constantly cursing this ghost that the weather was too cold. He counted the hours, thinking that in another hour he would be able to change shifts.
Now this is located on the outskirts of Chang'an City, there is nothing abnormal, the entire Tang Dynasty is afraid of them, how many high-ranking officials who are usually arrogant have fallen under the swords and guns in their hands, and soon the emperor in Chang'an City will also fall under their swords, and the whole world will soon become theirs.
Xu Shisan's heart was a little hot when he thought of this, he heard that this Chang'an City was full of gold, and the women in this city were white-skinned and beautiful with big buttocks.
When I enter the city, I must find a good-looking woman to be my daughter-in-law, Xu Shisan thought eagerly, and when he thought of the happy place, he couldn't help humming a little song, "Little lady, is twenty-eight, good years......"
Before he finished singing the little song he hummed, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and there were still a lot of people listening to the movement, Xu Shisan immediately panicked, and he quickly picked up the spear leaning against the wall. Then he ran to a small shed not far behind him, where his team was sleeping.
Xu 13 shouted inside: "Team Kang is about to wake up, there is movement in the west." Kang team is positive, Kang team is positive! ”
Xu Shisan shouted several times before the Kang team woke up, and then he didn't get up to the scolding Kang team, and he went back to his sentry post and stood up. As soon as he saw that the situation was not in his favor, he would sound the gong and drum to warn the brigade behind.
As the sound of the horses' hooves approached, Xu 13 recognized the man as their own.
Xu 13 immediately walked out of the sentry post and said to the comer: "Password? ”
The person who came replied lazily: "What kind of order, I don't know Lao Tzu anymore?" ”
Xu Shisan took a closer look, and took a breath of cold air in his heart, the person who came was actually his own pioneer Chai Cun, he hurriedly stood up and saluted Chai Cun, "Chai makes you forgive your sins, a certain clumsy person can't see your old man clearly." ”
Chai Cun was not old, but twenty-seven or eighteen years old, tall and tall, with a square face and a dark complexion. He has now achieved the position of the vanguard of the rebels, and he can stand out among the many ruffians and hooligans, and his own quality can be seen.
Chai Cun looked at Xu Thirteen and asked, "What about your team?" ”
Xu 13 saw that the chief officer asked where his boss was, and he hurriedly said: "Team Kang was on duty for a long time last night, and now he just fell asleep. Before he could finish his sentence, he heard an angry voice from behind.
"Xu Shisan, your skin is itchy again, Lao Tzu drank so much wine, you dog just called Lao Tzu, who is coming?"
Kang Haifeng came to the sentry and looked at Chai Cun's long face with his drunken eyes, and he woke up drunk. "Firewood...... Chai Envoy-kun, why are you here? ”
Chai Cun looked at Kang Haifeng and Xu Thirteen, then pointed his finger at the two of them, and did not speak, the entire righteous army was like this, from top to bottom, everyone was blinded by the current optimistic scene, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed but didn't want to be angry at these low-level sergeants who were originally just poor people, so he said angrily to the two: "There will be a next time, and I will not be spared!" ”
Then Chai Cun took the cavalry behind him and went straight to the place of the Chinese army, Xu 13 and Kang Haifeng lowered their heads and watched Chai Cun's cavalry pass through, but at the end of their cavalry they found an abnormality, there were outsiders in this cavalry.
The outsiders they are talking about are naturally not the people of the righteous army, and they should think of officials and nobles when they look at their clothes and horses, are these people messengers in Chang'an City?
……………………………………………………………………………………
On the evening of the winter day, Zhang Zhifang and his entourage waited in the camp of the rebels for nearly two hours before they were informed that the Yellow King wanted to meet them. was about to see Huang Chao, the thief chieftain, and Zhang Zhifang was a little apprehensive in his heart for a while.
It was Chai Cun who led them to the big tent of the Chinese army, he was very polite to Zhang Zhifang and others, and he had always been very polite, Zhang Zhifang guessed that this person should be a more cultivated general in the thief army, but he didn't know what Huang Chao's temperament was.
When he arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Zhifang immediately showed a respectful appearance with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and he did not look at it randomly, after all, he played the role of the envoy who surrendered.
Zhang Zhifang immediately knelt on the ground after entering the tent, made a bow, and then said loudly: "General Jin Wuwei, the criminal minister, Zhang Zhifang, the right army of the Weiyuan Army, knocks on the Yellow King!" ”
Huang Chao sat on the high seat, and made an imperceptible "um", Zhang Zhifang's ears were very good, and he had already heard it, but in order to show solemnity and respect, he still knelt on the ground.
Shang Rang was very easy-going, and he said: "General Zhang, please get up, I don't know what the so-called matter is here?" ”
Zhang Zhifang got up according to his words and said in a deep voice: "The criminal ministers are here to ask for surrender, and there is a mess in Chang'an City now, and the official family is ...... Oh, no, the Tang Emperor has fled west into Shu, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries have also fled in all directions. Long live the Yellow King! ”
Zhang Zhifang's last sentence "Long live the Yellow King" can be said to say that Huang Chao's heart is in trouble, and yesterday he also said that the little emperor of the Tang Dynasty closed himself in the Daming Palace, and this morning he had abandoned the city and fled west. This emperor is really not a son of man!
"I want to enter Chang'an City only to make a name for myself and glorify my ancestors, but the Tang Dynasty court's gang of dog officials and flies camp dogs, corpses vegetarian meals, after a certain failure, I was unwilling to compose a poem, I didn't want to achieve it so quickly. Haha......"
Huang Chao's words can be described as sincere, he was a utilitarian person, he followed Wang Xianzhi to rebel against the government, but Wang Xianzhi was willing to be recruited by the imperial court for the official position of sesame mung bean without real power, and Huang Chao, as the second person in the righteous army at that time, did not have half of the official position, so Huang Chao turned his face with Wang Xianzhi on the spot, and beat Wang Xianzhi with blood all over his face.
Later, before he conquered Guangzhou, he also threatened the imperial court to be the envoy of the Tianping Festival, and in order to get this official position, he did not hesitate to keep the life of the former Lingnan Jiedu envoy Li Yuan, and later he did not succeed because of Tian Lingzi's obstruction.
Later, after occupying Guangzhou, he was full of ambition and wanted to be the king of Guangnan, but Lingnan miasma plague was frequent, and most of his subordinates were northerners, and he was forced to withdraw from Guangzhou.
Now that he has switched to the north and south, he doesn't want this result to be a greater reward than the Jiedu envoy, and his Huangchao is only one step away from becoming emperor in the south.
All the generals in the military tent were so happy to see Huang Chao, so they all slapped Huang Chao's ass without falling silent, and some of Huang Chao praised Huang Chao for being talented and talented, and some scolded Tang Dynasty officials for not knowing true talent.
For a while, the entire tent was full of flattery, Zhang Zhifang looked at it coldly, and there was only one firewood in the entire tent that could still remain calm, and he began to pay attention to this person secretly.
After everyone slapped Huang Chao's sycophants, they began to discuss practical issues. Now that Chang'an City has begun to surrender, when will you go to Chang'an City?
Huang Chao's original intention was to go immediately, but Shang Rang and the others rarely kept a clear head, and he said that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. After all, the army is stationed in Bashang, and it is not a matter of a day or two to enter Chang'an.
Moreover, at this time, Chang'an City was in chaos, and someone had to clean it up first so that the Yellow King could be stationed.
Shang Rang's words are always serious, and Zhao Zhang and others also agree with Shang Rang's opinion. Huang Chao saw that many brothers and strategists agreed with Shang Rang's words, and he had to praise Shang Rang's words against his will.
The high-level leaders of the rebel army reached an agreement, which made Zhang Zhifang, who was in the tent, sigh that it was a pity, but at this time, he couldn't express his eagerness too much, otherwise it would be easy to show his feet.
After all, the first thing to do in the city is to clean up all kinds of wealthy families in the capital, and this kind of errand is the most profitable, so everyone is vying for this errand, especially Meng Kai and Zhu Wen and others.
Shang Rang combined the habits of the generals in the army and the style of doing things, he finally decided that Chai Cun was the most suitable for this job, after all, Chang'an City should be the capital of the rebel army, if there was more destruction, it would be difficult to rule in the future.
As soon as Shang Rang's words came out, Chai Cun immediately became the focus, but Huang Chao also took a fancy to Chai Cun, so after he nodded, the others had to shut up even if they were unwilling.
Now that the decision has been made, in the afternoon, Chai Cun led 10,000 people from the pioneer battalion to receive Chang'an, and Zhang Zhifang, who was following the rebel army, looked at Chang'an and said in his heart: "We are ready, and this 10,000 people is not less." ”
