When the news of Tiance's victory came out, Zhang Mai's inscription was handed down, from Youji to Hedong, from Hedong to Hebei, from Hebei to Luoyang, from Luoyang to Chang'an, all in an uproar.

————————————

The western capital, inside the city of Chang'an.

The capital of the Tang Dynasty has repeatedly changed its name after the fall of the Li Tang Dynasty, but for the old department of Anxi, the name of the city will always be only one - Chang'an!

Since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an has been repeatedly robbed, the Anshi Rebellion is not to say, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen coerced Tang Zhaozong to move the capital to Luoyang, wantonly demolished the palace and dwellings of Chang'an, and took building materials to transport them to the East, which was a ruined change for Chang'an, since then the Sui and Tang dynasties for three hundred years have become a broken wall, the people have been displaced, and the glorious city of half the world has become empty like a ghost city, and the successors of the five generations simply carried out the transformation, abandoned the outer Guo and the palace city, closed the Suzaku Gate in the south, and closed the Yanxi Gate in the east, the west of the Anfu Gate, on the basis of the original Chang'an Imperial City transformed into a "new city".

The area of Chang'an after the transformation is less than one-fifteenth of the original Chang'an City, and the magnificent momentum of the Sui and Tang dynasties is gone.

Now Liu Zhiyuan is stationed in Chang'an City, in order to prevent the penetration of Tiance into Qindong, he consciously took advantage of the situation, separated the military and government, and the silk trade road was placed in Weibei to collect taxes, and Weinan attached importance to the military, so Chang'an's Fang City was even more depressed, and there was no longer any international business, only the seats that could provide the garrison with the needs of life, the surrounding counties and townships of the city, hundreds of people fled due to war, or moved away to make a living, leaving a large area of empty land, Liu Zhiyuan did not try to attract the people, On the contrary, all the wasteland was opened up into tuntian, and the training of combat troops was not relaxed. The auxiliary soldiers and civilians were ordered to farm, implement semi-military management, there was no entertainment in the city, and there were no temple fairs outside the city, which made it difficult for Lu Jialing to install fine work, and it was also difficult to exert public opinion influence methods such as storytellers becoming literary monks.

Chang'an at this time. Like a castle more than like a city, the non-productive population and non-combat population have been reduced to the limit - but also because of this reason, Chang'an is enough to support itself by relying on Tuntian alone, and Liu Zhiyuan is constantly asking Luoyang for all kinds of military funds, not to mention that almost all the materials handed over by Qin Dongzhou County have been withdrawn by him. There is no natural danger on the west line of Chang'an, but the city has been built by Liu Zhiyuan.

In the battle of Guanzhong in the sixth year of Tiance, Liu Zhiyuan was the attacker and Guo Wei was the defender, but now the shape has been reversed, Guo Wei is pressing step by step, and Liu Zhiyuan is fortifying step by step, and now a default boundary has been basically formed between the two sides. They no longer took a step past the thunder pool until the text came.

There are two copies of the text. One was a manuscript imported from the East, and the other was sent directly by Guo Wei by an envoy.

Since the confrontation between Liu and Guo, Guo Wei has been fighting for this old boss, hoping that he can change his position, after all, if Liu Zhiyuan is willing to agree, it will be great news for Tiance Datang. But Liu Zhiyuan has always politely refused. But this time, the text touched Liu Zhiyuan too much!

"The Khitan is really defeated...... Liu Zhiyuan passed down the text.

Although Chang'an is closely monitored, it is not completely isolated from the rest of the world, and the commercial profits from Weibei are constantly flowing into the city, and the subordinates will always receive news sooner or later. Therefore, he simply made the text public.

In the silent temple, no one spoke, but everyone stood solemnly.

"Good!" Liu Zhiyuan seems to be satisfied with the generals who can abide by their duties, but he has no intention of discussing with his subordinates, in this kind of season when people's minds change, he wants to block all unstable thoughts: "Guo Wei sent someone here just now, saying that it is the one who comes back from the state road in Zhuwen and does not hesitate to tear the soil, which is exactly for me!" Hum! Don't skimp on the ground, I don't believe it! Zhang Longxiang has not been called the emperor until now, Yang Yiping Mobei, Keqidan, and he has not seen him give the prince, the Cao family of Shazhou was forced to be attached, so many years, I have never heard that the Cao family has obtained a fief! How can we really tear the ground if we surrender? If there is such a thing, we will definitely not have a share of the land in the Central Plains! At that time, what will be given to us will only be a wild and foreign land, just like the Fold family who was charged to the Western Regions, or become a general under the fence, just like Cao Yuanzhong - I don't want to be a result, are you willing? ”

I have to say that Liu Zhiyuan, who observed the changes in Qinxi near Chang'an, knows more about the behavior of the Tiance regime than other border towns, and if Zhang Mai hears his inferences, he will definitely praise twice, and the generals in front of the palace heard Liu Zhiyuan's decision and said in unison: "If we want to be plugged out, we are naturally unwilling!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan smiled: "Okay, that's how it should be!" Just a piece of text, a sentence of empty promise, you want me 100,000 people with armor? I, Liu Zhiyuan, am not so easy to deceive! Not to mention that His Majesty treats me like a mountain, no matter how bad Liu is, he can't have the feelings of knowing His Majesty! As long as His Majesty sits firmly in Luoyang one day, I, Liu Zhiyuan, will never have the grace of God! ”

On the day he received the document, Liu Zhiyuan made it clear his attitude, and at the same time urged Luoyang to ask for money and food.

Shi Jingjiao received a report from Liu Zhiyuan urging him to ask for money and food in Luoyang, not only was he not angry, but he was happy. Liu Zhiyuan is willing to ask for money and food, that is, he has no intention of rebelling, even if his attitude is a little domineering, his appetite needs to be satisfied. Immediately ordered that the Xianghan area be scraped again to meet Liu Zhiyuan's needs.

——————————

Although Shi Jingjiao's reputation is now rotten among scholars, Liu Zhiyuan's loyalty is still praised by Shilin, no matter what the circumstances, if he can abide by the word "loyalty", this courtier is enough to make people look up to him.

A relegated minister usually has no good end after being subordinated. No matter how powerful the soldiers and horses in his hands are, no matter how generous the promises he received in advance, it is difficult to stop the new master's distrust of himself!

——————————

But not everyone sticks to their position like Liu Zhiyuan, at least, An Chongrong of Hedong is tempted.

Yanmen Pass and Zhang Mai are the closest, he is also one of the first generals to receive the text, the night he received the text of the morning Chongrong found Yao Yuanfu, under the light candle he spread out the text, to Yao Yuanfu a word.

Yao Yuanfu understood An Chongrong's meaning, the general from Hedong in front of him had never concealed his dissatisfaction with Shi Jingjiao in private. No matter how gorgeous the power of words is, there is a limit, but the forces that break the Khitan are now outside the Great Wall, and they will go south at any time! That's a real deterrent! The general trend of the world has obviously favored Tiance, if they continue to support Shi Jin, it will be thankless to go against the current, but if they seize military power. Sacrifice Hedong, that is the work of ripping the earth that can be obtained!

But An Chongrong alone can't do this, during this time, Shi Chonggui has more and more trust in Yao Yuanfu, and the power given is getting bigger and bigger, if An Chongrong wants to overhead Shi Chonggui and seize the Hedong Army, he needs Yao Yuanfu's support.

However, he was not sure that Yao Yuanfu would agree, and it was better to be dissatisfied in private. Once the rebellion was revealed, there was no way out, so he was silent.

Yao Yuanfu looked at the text for a long time, for a long time, before he said: "Since staying in the Jin Dynasty, I have been able to tolerate direct advice, defend the land and the people, and go north to the ground, although it is useless." Self-defense is more than enough. We should stay behind as an assistant to keep peace for Hedong. ”

An Chongrong's eyes flickered. Then he patted his thigh and said, "That's right, that's right!" That's exactly what I mean! Zhang Mai's text contains evil intentions, and I don't know how many people have been bewitched by it, so we have to hurry up and see the guards left behind, so that he can take precautions! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Yao Yuanfu, who knew what he meant. Laughing: "Good! Bring the papers, let's go together! ”

————————————

The two major towns of Chang'an and Taiyuan, after a period of fluctuation in this hurricane, barely stabilized, but Hebei, which is at the center of the hurricane. Its turbulent process is on the verge of uncontrollable!

In Youzhou City, Du Chongwei held the text and muttered to himself: "Ripp...... Ripping ......"

He knows the news of Tiance's victory in Beijing more accurately than anyone else, and he already knows that Zhongjing of Liao Kingdom has fallen into the hands of Tiance, and he already knows how majestic Xue Fu's troops are in Dading Mansion, and Du Chongwei has even gotten some information! Mo said that now the west and south directions are already in an emergency, even if it is just Xue Fu leading the crowd south, Du Chongwei does not have the confidence to defend the Great Wall!

In the secret room, there are not even heavy generals like Fu Yanqing, some are only Du Chongwei's second son, Du Honglian, who is a staff officer of the army, he has already read the text, and then he couldn't help but step forward and say: "Father!" What are you waiting for! Outside Juyong Pass, west of Yizhou City, and south of Xiongzhou, that is just a small number of soldiers and horses who have entered the customs of Tiance! If the thousands of troops north of the Great Wall really go south, we ...... How could we possibly resist! ”

If you can't resist it, you have to retreat south, but where to retreat? Retreat into Hebei? Hebei is bound to be difficult to protect! Retreat into Shandong? Is Shandong safe? Retreat to Luoyang? The Shijin Dynasty that lost Hebei will face a situation of being attacked on three sides, the outside will be attacked on all sides, and the people will lose their hearts inside.

Although they are relatives, Du Chongwei has never had any intention of keeping the festival with Shi Jingjiao! Now the army in the palm of his hand, and far away in the thistle, as long as he gives an order, it can indeed make Yan Di change the sky! Even for the precursor of Tiance, it is also a matter of going south to collect Hebei.

However, Du Chongwei suddenly tore off the text!

"Daddy!" Du Honglian was a little anxious: "Are you scrupling about your mother and brothers?" ”

Du Chongwei is Shi Jingjiao's brother-in-law, his wife is Shi Jin's eldest princess, and his two sons are naturally in Luoyang, but Du Chongwei's scruples are not these, he pointed to the text and said coldly: "From Zhang Mai's past, it can be seen that he cherishes his reputation, this text is to win over some people and hit some people, and I ...... It's the one he's going to fight! The matter of the Thousand People Pit, he has already pointed it out in the text, although it is your uncle who scolds it, but it is I who did the thing! Now that he is in Ding'an, it is only three days away from Youzhou Kuaima, but he hasn't even sent an envoy, isn't the meaning obvious? My head, for Zhang Mai, is probably the top grade of the sacrificial flag. ”

Du Honglian's face turned white all of a sudden: "Then what should I do?" Do you want to die to the end? ”

Du Chongwei said: "If I don't want to die, it's really a surrender, and our father and son won't have a good life!" ”

"I'm afraid of ......," Du Honglian said: "Even if our father and son want to carry it to the death, once the army is unfavorable, the soldiers below may not be able to share the same heart with our father and son." ”

Du Chongwei said: "There is no way, I can only seek reinforcements." ”

"Reinforcements? Can Luoyang still send reinforcements? ”

"Luoyang, naturally impossible!" Du Chongwei said: "I am afraid that the only one who can give us a hand now is the Khitan......

"But the Khitan has been defeated by Tiance......"

"The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, no matter how bad the Khitan ship is, it is stronger than the one in Luoyang!"

————————————

In addition to Du Chongwei and An Chongrong, Fan Yanguang can be regarded as the third heavy general to receive a text! He believed in ghosts and gods. The reason why Zhang Miracle can become his confidant is because of his ability to ask God and tell fortunes.

After receiving the text, Fan Yanguang had a dream that night, dreaming that a fierce tiger was pressing on him, and after he woke up, he summoned Zhang Miracle overnight and let him take advantage of the good luck.

After Zhang Miracle heard the news of Tiance's victory in Beijing. I was already frightened and uneasy, but at this time, I closed my eyes and chanted words in my mouth for a long time before I said: "The tiger is pressing, this is a great evil, a small bad luck, and a small blessing." ”

Fan Yanguang was surprised: "The big murderer is the big murderer, the big luck is the big luck, how can there be a big bad omen?" What a little bad luck! ”

Zhang Miracle said: "The dragon is from the clouds, the wind is from the tiger, and the tiger is also the wind." The tiger is approaching, a sign of the wind! With the trend of the wind, it is the power of the tiger, and it is auspicious, and there will inevitably be blood and small misfortune; Against the trend of the strong wind, it is the disaster of the tiger attack, the big murderer! Although there will be a small blessing of adding officials to the knighthood. The change of good and evil lies in obedience and disobedience. ”

Fan Yanguang realized: "Then how is the tailwind?" What is a headwind? ”

Zhang Miracle said: "It is easy to do and can achieve great achievements." It's downwind; Those who are difficult to do and whose lives may not be protected are headwinds. ”

Fan Yanguang looked at Yu Wen. After a while, he said: "Now the whole world knows that Zhang Longxiang's side is the tailwind." If I can stick to Yedu, Shi Tianzi will naturally add an official to me and become a knight, but if I can't stop the Tiance Iron Horse in the end, it is useless to make me king! If it is a good wind, Luoyang's family will definitely not be lucky. That's it! It's just that I don't have any friendship with Zhang Longxiang, and I don't know what the attitude is over there, so I just posted it, first, I don't know if I see it there, and second, I don't know if I trust me. ”

Zhang Miracle saw Fan Yanguang express his attitude. said: "Didn't the benefactor visit Tiance before? How can there be no friendship? ”

Fan Yanguang smiled bitterly: "It's because I have visited Tiance that I am more suspicious, I don't see how long Shi Tianzi has raised me in Luoyang?" ”

Zhang Miracle said: "If the benefactor is indeed intentional, the villain has a clue. ”

Fan Yanguang was overjoyed and said: "What is the clue, tell me quickly." ”

Zhang Miracle said: "The benefactor summoned that Li Nuan before, and his response was clearly for Zhang Tianzi, not for Shi Tianzi. This person, even if he wasn't sent by Zhang Mai, he must have some way. ”

Fan Yanguang said: "I have already seen this, hum, it is also thanks to his boldness, if I hadn't had a good heart, I would have cut him down a long time ago!" ”

Zhang Miracle said: "The benefactor tolerated him at the beginning, presumably in order to leave a way back today. In that case, it is better for me to probe his tone. ”

Fan Yanguang said: "Okay! Only Mr. can help in this matter, so please ask Mr. to work hard, and if he succeeds in the future, he will be rewarded! ”

——————————————

Zhang Mi Mi came out of the Shuai Mansion, directly found Li Nuan, and showed the text to Li Nuan to see, Li Nuan read it again and said: "The literary style is good, Fan Wensu's talent and learning are also first-class among my Hebei scholars." ”

The establishment of the Dongshu of the Tiance regime is not a secret, and the fact that Fan Zhen is in charge of the Dongshu has long been spread all over the two rivers, especially the Hebei scholars are secretly excited - because Fan Zhen is from Hebei!

Although Zhang Qiqi is not a scholar, he is well-informed, so he naturally knows the recent situation of Fan Wensu, and immediately said: "Dr. Li has a relationship with Fan Dongshu? ”

Li Nuan said: "Fan Wensu, when he was still in the Central Plains before he was facing west, he had also met once. This year, he went to Luoyang, and he also met in Feng Xiang's mansion, but he did not talk deeply. However, I met his father Fan Shou but old acquaintances, after Fan Wen Su Zhizhi, he sent someone to secretly summon his family to go west, and after Fan Shouyu traveled west, he also came to trust me to take care of his relatives in his hometown. ”

The two of them went back and forth, and what they said did not involve the most sensitive topic of rebellion at the moment, but as soon as Li Nuan revealed his connections, Zhang Miracle immediately knew it, and hurriedly said: "No wonder Dr. Li sits firmly in Yedu, not afraid of the approach of the northern soldiers, it turns out that there is this way to heaven!" ”

Li Nuan said with a smile: "The old man has already resigned from his official position, lives in the forest, and does not ask about the world. Whether it is the southern soldiers, the northern soldiers, the eastern soldiers and the western soldiers, as long as they can defend the land and the people, they will not miss the old man to study and cultivate himself. The world's heroes compete for the top, and our generation only waits for peace! ”

Zhang Miracle said: "Dr. Li's mind is beyond my reach. Unlike me, Zhang Miracle, who received the great favor of General Fan, he could only run for the benefactor, and only waited for the benefactor to get peace. Only in my generation can there be peace. ”

Li Nuan said: "General Fan is also interested in Taiping? ”

Zhang Miracle said: "This is natural, now within the four seas, even the blind can see the general trend of the world, and my general has long been longing for peace, but he has not won the door." ”

Li Nuan said with a smile: "On a peaceful day, you just need to follow the trend." What's so hard! ”

Speaking of which, there was a tacit understanding between each other, and Zhang Miracle said: "Then please ask Dr. Li to teach you!" ”

Li Nuan pointed to the head of the city and said, "It's just a change of flag, does this still need the old man to say?" ”

Zhang Miracle muttered: "It's easy to change a flag, but there is a concern. ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Miracle smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of the doctor's jokes, before the next was to run the rivers and lakes, fortune tellers and mixed rice, in terms of experience, but all visitors are asking for something, come to ask for divination." If the business is cold, the customers who peddle business will be suspicious, and the remuneration may not be able to get it. Today, General Zhang changed a flag, it was easy, but he was afraid of selling divination. Self-depreciation! ”

Li Nuan smiled and said, "I see. This is easy, although the old man retreated to the forest, but he still has a little name in Hebei, and there are a few friends in various military states, if General Fan is really interested, the old man can also make arrangements. Persuade the northern army not to use the sword soldiers, send the envoy to peace, when the envoy arrives, it is the time to bring gold to ask for divination, this 'anti-lord as a guest' plan. What does Mr. Zhang think? ”

Zhang Miracle was overjoyed and said: "Wonderful plan." Coup! What a clever plan against the host! Please also ask the doctor to act, and on the day of success, the general will not hesitate to thank him! ”

Li Nuan said with a smile: "I am a disciple of the sages and Confucian disciples, but I just want peace, I can relieve the general's worries, and I can also repay the favor of these days, not for gratitude." ”

After he sent Zhang Miracle away, he called out his son Li Fang behind the screen and said, "Hebei Dingyi!" Feng Xiang's plot is half a success! ”

Li Fang said: "Yesterday, Yu Wen only arrived in Yedu, and today Zhang Miracle came to find his father, this Fan Yanguang is really in a hurry." ”

Li Nuan said: "When my father proposed that kind of construction, Fan Yanguang didn't kill me, that is, he had already betrayed me." And Fan Yanguang's actions were suspected, and Shi Jingjiao did not dare to order the removal of him, but instead gave him an official and entered the jueje, which shows that the Shi family has lost control over all sides. Now Fan Yanguang clearly wants to surrender, but he still has to be timid, all he wants is a higher price, but this is normal, Yedu is a key town after all, if Yedu changes banners, other military states in Hebei are bound to look at the scenery. On the contrary, if Fan Yanguang is determined to resist and fortify the city with the strong soldiers of Yedu, it will not be easy for Tiance to forcibly capture it. In order to get the peace plan as soon as possible, I think Zhang Longxiang will not be stingy with a good price. ”

Li Fang said: "I heard that Zhao Zeping is in Xingzhou, so the child will go to see him." ”

Zhao Zeping is Zhao Pu. Although Zhao Pu is not a famous scholar, among the people who entered Hebei in the Tang Army, as a staff officer, he can be regarded as a Wenchen train and a native of Hebei, so Hebei Shilin also relaxed the standards and pulled him into the circle of Hebei Shilin.

Li Nuan said: "No! That Zhao Pu is just a new teenager, how much decision can he make? With his move, Fan Yanguang also has to be suspicious, it must be Zhang Mai's face! Besides, if Zhao Pu can do this, then the merits will be counted in his hands! What good for me! You have to try to go north and go directly to see Zhang Longxiang! ”

He touched Li Fang's head and said, "Your uncle and I are both old, how much future do we have?" But if you can take advantage of this feat, and follow Zhang Longxiang from now on, then my Shenzhou Li family's great prosperity is just around the corner! ”

Although Li Fang is young, he is precocious, but at this time, he already has a bit of a brain, and said: "Although Fan Yanguang is timid, after all, he has the intention to surrender, and we are just taking advantage of the situation." Just relying on this errand merit, it may not be able to win Zhang Longxiang's favor. ”

Li Nuan said with a sigh: "Half of Fan Yanguang's renegade was voluntary, but the other half was that he fell into our bureau from the beginning. This big game of chess in Hebei, there is the layout of Changle Lao behind it, and here I and your uncle are pulling the strings to promote, if it succeeds, there will be more than one Yedu that can be won for Tiance!
