The news of Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road has not yet come, Huang Chao led the army and attacked Henan Mansion The news reached the capital, and the news was like a bombshell, which instantly exploded the capital.

The task of exterminating Huang Chao, the imperial court has always been entrusted to Gao Biao, for so many years, it can be said that Gao Biao is responsible, many festivals in the north, fighting for power and profit, ignoring the imperial court's holy decrees and edicts, difficult to rely on, now Huang Chao led the army, left the south, entered the north, the capital and the east suddenly fell into a dangerous situation.

At this time, anyone could have imagined that Huang Chao's target was the Eastern Capital and the capital.

The emperor has already issued a few holy decrees, asking many jiedu envoys in the north to fight against the army of Huangchao, but unfortunately these holy decrees do not have much effect, many jiedu envoys in the north are old treacherous and cunning people, where will the emperor's holy decree be in his eyes.

What the imperial court can rely on is the Shence Army.

The emperor summoned Tian Lingzi and many prime ministers several times to discuss the fight against Huangchao, and everyone did not know how many times they had analyzed the many festivals in the north, and they couldn't think of the slightest way.

There are many festival envoys in the north, the most powerful is the three towns of Hebei, namely Wei Bo Jiedu envoy Han Jian, Chengde Jiedu envoy Wang Jingchong, Youzhou Jiedu envoy Li Keju, but unfortunately these three jiedu envoys are unruly to the imperial court, and they don't obey the call at all, even if Huang Chao takes the capital, it has nothing to do with them, as long as Huang Chao does not attack them.

In addition, the Ziqing Festival made An Shiru, the Yicheng Army made Wang Duo, the Xuanwu Army made Li Wei, the Fengxiang Festival made Li Changyan, the Hedong Festival made Zheng Congyan, the Hezhong Festival made Wang Chongrong, the Taining Army made Qi Kerang, and the Yiwu Festival made Wang Chucun and others, these people made the court even more headaches, they became the force of the division everywhere, and they did not obey the call of the court at all.

Relatively speaking, the southern jiedu envoy is much better, and he is still able to obey the orders of the imperial court.

It can be said that if Huangchao attacks the capital, the only thing the imperial court can rely on is the Shence army, if you want to summon many jiedu envoys from the north to fight against Huangchao, unless it is to give these jiedu envoys more territory, but unfortunately the imperial court can no longer take out any territory, and there is no way to convene these jiedu envoys.

After thinking about it, the emperor had no good way, so he could only encourage and rely on Tian Lingzi.

The household department specially allocated additional silver to the Shence Army.

These high-ranking officials in the court didn't know that the Shence Army was rotten to the roots, and it was impossible to resist Huangchao's attack.

Huang Chao became smarter, and every time he passed through a place, he informed the local Jiedu envoys and government officials that his purpose was to make enemies of the eastern capital Luoyang and the capital Chang'an, and he didn't want to be enemies with the Jiedu envoys along the way.

After Huangchao entered the north, as if entering a no-man's land, the army moved extremely quickly, and it only took two months to occupy Henan Mansion and prepare to attack Jingzhao Mansion.

Zhao Zhang, Shang Rang, Zhu Wen and others are even more gearing up, they know very well that once Huang Chao occupies the capital, it will be time to be the emperor, and they will definitely be able to be canonized as high-ranking officials at that time, and at that time, their identities will completely change, which is something they have been looking forward to.

Of course, after all, it is an attack on the eastern capital and capital of the Tang Dynasty, and it is necessary to be cautious, and you can't act rashly, otherwise once the army loses, the surrounding people will not miss the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and anyone will do the icing on the cake.

Zhao Zhang and others paid attention to the situation in Shannan West Road, they knew very well that the Iron Blood Army had extraordinary combat effectiveness, I am afraid that it was much more powerful than Gao Yu, and the 20,000 elite army under the leadership of Huang Kui suddenly attacked Liangzhou, who knew that it had just entered Yangzhou in Shannan West Road, and it suffered the fate of annihilation of the whole army, which shows the courage of the Iron and Blood Army.

What they are most worried about is that the Iron Blood Army suddenly joins the battle group, if the Iron Blood Army sends a large army and enters Jingzhao Mansion, then the army may be in trouble, but this worry is not too big, they all think that Li Rupei, who has won a major victory, will not be mixed into the mud, and taking advantage of this opportunity to develop is the best choice, the combat effectiveness of the Iron Blood Army is so strong, it can completely divide one side and develop slowly.

Within half a year, Huang Chao killed Zhang Lan and Cao Quanyang, these two people were one of the best generals in the Tang Dynasty, and they were all killed by Huang Chao, it can be seen that Huang Chao's strength is by no means ordinary, not what it was like last year, Huang Chao is ready to attack the capital and the eastern capital, everyone is pessimistic, thinking that Huang Chao will be able to succeed, unless it is the northern Jiedu envoy who sends a large army to encircle and suppress Huang Chao.

But such a situation is impossible, many of the northern Jiedu envoys have always been unruly, not obeying the dispatch of the imperial court at all, even the appointment of the Jiedu envoys, the imperial court is difficult to control, often decided by force, and the fighting between the northern Jiedu envoys is also continuous, just in September, the recruitment of Li Zhuo and Youzhou Jiedu Li Keju, defeated Li Guochang, Li Keyong father and son, let these two flee to Tatar, Li Guochang and Li Ke with the father and son led by the Shatuo army, brave and abnormal, it is not easy to defeat them.

At the beginning of the year, Huangchao was in crisis, Gao Biao represented the imperial court, dispatched various armies, encircled and suppressed Huangchao, and most of the Jiedu envoys sent troops, but unfortunately when they were about to go to Huainan, Gao Biao suddenly asked the armies from all walks of life to go back, saying that they would be able to completely exterminate Huangchao, which led to a lot of Jiedu making resentment, and since then he has been unwilling to obey Gao Biao's dispatch.

Seeing that the Yellow Nest is about to be exterminated, many of the Jiedu envoys also want to get a credit, but Gao Biao wants to monopolize the credit, and many of the Jiedu envoys are of course not convinced, so that Gao Biao was deceived by the Yellow Nest, and after the death of Zhang Lan, the most courageous general under his command, they all watched on the wall to see how Gao Biao ended.

The confrontation between the imperial court and Huang Chao has been placed on the bright side, including the southern Jiedu envoy, all of them have seen clearly, and most of the eyes have refocused on Gao Biao, as Gao Biao, who is the Huainan Jiedu envoy, is shouldering the heavy task of exterminating Huang Chao, at this time Huang Chao has gone to the north, and is about to attack the capital, Gao Biao, who has a heavy army, should lead the army north to fight against Huang Chao.

It's a pity that everyone can think like this, but Gao Biao didn't have the slightest movement.

The imperial court issued several holy decrees, but Gao Biao shirked them all, either saying that the army had no food and grass and could not travel far, or that his body was not safe and he was sick in bed and could not get up at all.

Everyone didn't think of Li Rupei, in everyone's opinion, Li Rupei is an upstart, and he is not qualified to compete with Huang Chao, and Li Rupei's identity is too special, the son of Li Tong, the king of Wei, was killed by the imperial court, such a deep hatred, how could Li Rupei forget that Huang Chao attacked the capital, Li Rupei was afraid that he was happy in private.

Since Huang Chao has such an attitude, the rest of the festival degree envoys are better to say, draw scoops according to the gourd, and follow the learning, Gao Biao got so much grain and grass from the imperial court, and he held heavy troops, and he was still unwilling to go north to fight against Huang Chao, how could the rest of the festival degree envoys go to Chu that mold.

There was also turmoil within the imperial court.

Lu Xie, the first prime minister who has always supported Gao Piao, has become the target of everyone's attacks.

In fact, he also wrote a letter to Gao Biao, asking Gao Biao to focus on the overall situation and send a large army north to fight against Huangchao, but unfortunately Gao Biao's reply was very polite and resolute, which made Lu Xian have no choice.

Giving Gao Biao great power, letting Gao Biao hold heavy troops, and coordinating in front of Gao Biao and Tian Lingzi and other eunuchs at the same time has always been Lu Xie's key thing, and it is precisely because of the good relationship with Tian Lingzi that Lu Xian can operate from it, I didn't expect that at this time, Huang Chao's army was approaching the capital, and all this became his crime.

Lu Xian, who was angry, fell ill, and he was very sick, half of his body was paralyzed, commonly known as a stroke.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and even Tian Lingzi pushed all the responsibility onto Lu Xi.

Lu Xie, who was seriously ill, where could he bear such heavy pressure, he also knew very well that even if his body recovered, he might not be able to escape the fate of carrying the black cauldron, so he decisively chose to commit suicide and was a hundred dead.

Lu Xi's suicide caused an even greater turmoil in the imperial court.

Everyone seemed to see that Huang Chao was very likely to capture the capital, and at that time, everyone's fate would be tragic.

It was in this panicked situation that Tian Lingzi made a move, and he wrote a secret letter to Chen Jingxuan, the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, to go to Chen Jingxuan to prepare, once Huang Chao began to attack the eastern capital Luoyang and the capital Chang'an, he would flee to Xichuan with the emperor.

Of course, such a plan needs to be kept strictly secret, and no one can know about it, otherwise the court will definitely be in chaos.

Tian Lingzi had already thought about it, during the Anshi Rebellion, didn't Tang Xuanzong also go to Xichuan to take refuge, and the current emperor is just following in the footsteps of his ancestors, which is not a shame.

The reason why he made such a plan is also a very accidental thing, when Tian Lingzi went to inspect the Shence army barracks, he suddenly found a lot of secrets, he found some of the officers, after asking about the situation of the Shence army, he was stunned, and at the most critical juncture, he knew that the Shence army did not have the slightest combat effectiveness, and the most of the sergeants in the barracks were waste, and those strong sergeants, because they had heard and seen them, had already changed, and they knew how to collect wealth and pleasure.

Such a situation could not be changed in a short period of time, the Shence army could not protect the eastern capital and the capital, and it was a matter of time before the two places fell, so Tian Lingzi made the decision to flee.
