Thank you King Ji for your reward, Ayong thank you!
……………………………………
The night was falling, and after a few hours of trekking, the huge tower of Chang'an City was already faintly in sight, and the vanguard army of Chai Cun let out a burst of cheers. ∈↗,
The bitter cold of the north in winter, now it has entered the wax moon, the army of 10,000 people is walking in the wilderness, and the peasant army implements the same two-meal system, and at this time many people are supporting their tired bodies with a strong sense of excitement.
Among them, Xu Thirteen was the hardest, last night he was on duty all night, and he was called up to march after just two hours of sleep in the morning, and he is now cold and hungry. However, he knew that he would soon enter the capital of the Tang Dynasty, a place full of gold and beauties in legends.
The people in the queue were gritting their teeth and stiffening, Xu Shisan looked at the team Zheng Kang Haifeng was also full of exhaustion, but he was excited at this time, and he wanted to find someone to talk to.
So he hurried two steps, came to Kang Haifeng's side, and said: "Team Kang is saying that when we arrive in Chang'an City, what meals will they prepare for us, will they find some more girls for us to let our brothers vent their anger?" ”
Kang Haifeng looked at this stupid team, he thought that this Xu Shisan was always missing a string in his brain, but at this time he was also excited by the Chang'an City that was about to arrive, he laughed and pointed at Xu Shisan: "Phew, you still want to find a girl like you Shisanlang to vent your anger?" When we get to the place, it will be good to have some food and sleep. ”
Kang Haifeng's words caused a good response among the sergeants around him, the peasant army is all simple men, and all they want for their lives is to have a mother-in-law who can run a family, and a few acres of thin fields, and it would be better to have a good small yard.
Now that each of them has a bigger dream in their hearts, Chang'an, a place where only emperors and magnates can live, is now going to become Lao Tzu's territory. They are more eager for the greatest city to give them enough respect, which they would not have before, but now they have it with the knife and gun in their hands, and it is not easy!
Xu 13 pouted, "So-and-so, what's the matter, as long as we Chai Envoy Jun is willing, no matter how many mothers-in-law will have it, you don't understand, what a good errand it is for Chai Envoy Jun to take us into the city at this time." When we get to the realm, as long as we are tough, those dog officials will definitely follow us. ”
"There is a basis for saying this, when so-and-so was at home, at that time the king of the village was the largest landlord within a radius of thirty miles. has always been very arrogant and domineering, but when he was working as a long-term worker for Wang Yuanwai's family, he saw Wang Yuanwai accompany him carefully and wholeheartedly to please the scribes from the county, offering good wine and food, and having to stuff money to call women, so he finally made the little scribe happy.
Just because that little scribe represents the county lord in the county, and now we are the Yellow King's envoy, and if those dog officials don't serve us well, they will be afraid that we will sue him. ”
After Xu Shisan finished speaking, Kang Haifeng was stunned, he never thought that Xu Shisan, who was wilted and often lacked strings, would actually say such a thorough remark.
The surrounding military men listened to Xu Shisan's words, and immediately became as transparent as Daigo empowerment, "Haha, what Xu Shisan said is that when we get to the realm, we will be as tough as he said, and those dog officials dare not give us to Zhang Luo." ”
Xu Shisan saw that the people around him listened to his words, and he was also startled by the sudden appearance of Huigen. However, it felt so good to be trusted, Xu Shisan felt that he must have been inspired by the immortals, and these truths seemed to be suddenly in his own mind.
Of course, Xu Shisan's simple mind would only focus on things related to him, but Chai Cun, as the commander of the vanguard army, was thinking about other more important things, and before leaving, he still remembered Shang Rang's instructions to him.
The scene of Shang Rang's conversation with him is still ringing in his mind.
"This time, General Chai is the vanguard of the army, does the general know why?" Shang asked Twist Whisker.
Chai Cun bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "A certain person is dull and does not understand the deep meaning of the military division, and he also asks the military advisor to inform him." ”
Shang Rang's face was calm, and he looked at Chai Cun for a while and said: "General Chai is honest and cautious, and General Chai is dedicated to military affairs, and he has less friends than others, unlike those who have ghosts in their hearts, this is the reason why a certain person recommended you." ”
After Chai Cun heard Shang Rang's words, he was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "What the military advisor said is that a certain loyal Yellow King has never selfishly asked the military advisor to learn from him. ”
Shang Rang looked at Chai Cun with satisfaction, he smiled and said: "General Chai don't be nervous, just because you don't form a party, you can rest assured that you will go, now Chang'an, the Yellow King is bound to ascend the throne and become the emperor, our army is uneven, the mountains are numerous, and there are many places in the new dynasty that need to rely on the general in the future, and please take advantage of this opportunity." ”
Chai Cun's heart flickered like a mirror, he was speechless, before the new dynasty was established, the officials below began to form gangs, which still made him so straightforward to win himself over, what should he do?
Chai Cun didn't think about the answer clearly, but Chang'an was already in sight, he put aside his worries for the time being, he said to the guards beside him, and went to invite General Zhang over.
Not long after, Zhang Zhifang rode his horse to Chai Cun's side, Zhang Zhifang bowed to Chai Cun, and then said softly: "I don't know what Chai Jun's envoy ordered to come here?" ”
Chai Cun waved his hand and said loudly: "General Zhang wants to be polite, and we will be ministers in the same hall in the future." A certain was appointed by King Huang as a pioneer envoy to enter the city, and General Zhang still needed to cooperate with a certain person. ”
Zhang Zhifang was also unambiguous, and immediately said: "Where is General Chai, a certain general, thanks to the Yellow King and the general who do not give up, and a certain must bow to death after doing his best." ”
After finishing the polite words, Chai Cun spoke: "How many people are still in the city now?" And is there an army? ”
Zhang Zhifang saw that this Chai Cun was really a careful person, and asked quite carefully, he replied: "General rest assured, there is no army in the city, and the Shence army in the city has already escaped and scattered, most of them are the children of powerful and rich families, how can they have any ability to fight." When Emperor Tang left, he only took a battalion of the Shence army with him, and he could see how powerful the Shence army was. The Weiyuan army under a certain command has already controlled the whole city, and he is just waiting for General Chai to arrive, so he can hand over the city defense, and he can be an idle official. ”
When Chai Cun heard it, what Zhang Zhifang said was reasonable, it seemed that this person was really a lazy person, but he hadn't finished answering his question yet. So he went on to ask, "What about the population of the city?" ”
Zhang Zhifang patted his head with his hand, and said: "Look at this memory, it's really not a good thing, I didn't answer the general's question, the population of this city is still young and old, although there have been a lot of escapes from yesterday to today, but most of them are still in the city." ”
After listening to the answer, Chai Cun spoke again: "What happened to the treasury in the city?" In fact, this question is what he wants to know the most, Datang's treasury is the most important thing for him to enter the city this time, and it is also the thing that Shang Rang is most concerned about.
In the future, if the group can gain a firm foothold in the new dynasty, it will be up to him to control the treasury, and as long as there is money, everything else will be easy to do.
Zhang Zhifang listened to it and muttered in his heart, these dogs really still think about the treasury in this city, before he set off, Li Bao specially explained to Zhang Zhifang, if the people of the peasant army asked about the wealth in the treasury, let him say as much as possible.
Therefore, Zhang Zhifang immediately did not make a draft, and said: "General Chai, don't worry, this treasury is all in good condition, although a certain person is a rough person, but he still dare not be sloppy in such a big matter." As soon as Emperor Tang ran out of Chang'an City, he ordered someone to block the treasury and asked people to count the money in the treasury. ”
Zhang Zhifang didn't finish speaking, deliberately hanging Chai Cun's appetite, and sure enough, Chai Cun asked: "What is the result of General Zhang's inventory?" ”
Zhang Zhifang laughed, this wealth is the most touching, but he doesn't love these things, but his sons and daughters are not exempt from vulgarity, because they divided part of the wealth in the treasury, and the rest......
Chai Cun listened to Zhang Zhifang's words, and felt a little pity in his heart, he was not greedy for money, but he wanted to keep this amount of money for the new imperial court. So that the new court could do more good things for the poor people in the world, but the money was first divided by these military ruffians.
Chai Cun was so amused by Zhang Zhifang that he lost his patience, and he said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, hurry up and say it directly, and don't make those Xuanxuan who hangs people's appetites." ”
Zhang Zhifang laughed and said: "General Chai is really happy, okay, hey, let's get to the city gate." ”
Zhang Zhifang's words immediately attracted Chai Cun's attention away, he raised his head and looked up at this majestic and magnificent city, he was also shocked by this great capital.
The men of the vanguard army shouted in unison, "Hurray, hooray!" Their excitement could not be expressed indescribably, and they could only vent it through these slogans.
Zhang Zhifang shouted to the gatekeeper at the head of the city: "Open the city gate quickly, the vanguard army of the Yellow King has arrived, and the sons and daughters will come out quickly to welcome the vanguard envoy Chai Cun Chai military envoy!" ”
The defenders at the head of the city immediately agreed and ordered their men to open the gates. Not long after, the Vermilion Bird Gate opened, and a team of people came out of the city, led by Zhao Zhizhao.
Zhao Zhizhao came to the horse and knelt down to Chai Cun and said, "The criminal minister Jingzhao Mansion Yin Zhao Zhizhao came to greet the Chai military envoy. ”
Chai Zheng immediately waved his hand and said: "Zhao Mansion Yin, please hurry up, today the general will go to the city to take over the city defense, and Zhao Mansion Yin and General Zhang need to assist the general wholeheartedly, and we will be more close in the future." ”
Zhao Zhizhao and Zhang Zhifang immediately said in unison: "It's just that it should be, the two of them must only look forward to General Chai's horse, and they will never shirk." ”
Then Zhao Zhizhao introduced a few more of his men, and then welcomed the army into the city.
Seeing that the army was about to enter the city, the planned action did not happen, which made Zhang Zhifang very puzzled, could there be something wrong with this?
But then after Zhao Zhizhao gave him a look, he settled down in his heart, and it must be that the king has a new arrangement.
