With the advancement of time, a series of evil consequences of Du Chong's abandonment of Xiangzhou, Weizhou, and digging rivers to release water have spread to Bianliang. On April 26, Ding Wei, Xue Guang and Jin Renzhan were killed in Xiangzhou.

At the beginning of the daimyo, Zong Ze stayed behind and ordered Wang Shan, Zhang Yong, and Xue Guang to recover the two rivers. The precursor only crossed the river, and Ze died violently. Du Chong stayed behind on his behalf, and he was not good at soothing and killing. Kindness and use to rebel. Du Chong led the main force to Liyang, while Xue Guang stayed in Xiangzhou, fought with the Jin people, and Guang died, and all his people dispersed and became thieves.

On May 8, Jin Bing appeared in Zhengzhou. Zhengzhou Zhizhou Dong itch abandoned the city and fled. The Jin soldiers' baggage was blocked by the flood, and the surrounding houses were also submerged, so they could not replenish grain and grass, so they had to retreat from Zhengzhou. This also shows that west of Zhengzhou, there are no soldiers to defend.

In mid-May, worse news came: Dengzhou had fallen, and Li Cao, the judge of Wusheng's army, had surrendered to the enemy.

Dengzhou is located between Luoyang and Xiangyang, in the center of the Nanyang Basin. Shipping developed, the turbulent river through the Xinye Hui Bai River into the Han River and then through the Yangtze River, is the Jinghu Lake and Shu in the grain gang transshipment place, Dengzhou is lost, Shu in the light gang and the grain and grass to be all for the gold people to get.

And Li Cao's surrender to the enemy was even more shocking. He was originally a judge in Luoyang, and when the famous ministers and clans in Luoyang bowed to the Jin soldiers, Li Cao left a letter and went to Dengzhou to assist the governor of Dengzhou to defend the city, and was appointed as the judge of the Wusheng army.

And this time, the Jin soldiers only sent a partial division of Yan Seri, and Li Cao surrendered.

Since the fall of Luoyang in November last year to the fall of Dengzhou in May this year, Li Cao served as the judge of the Wusheng Army for half a year, not to mention getting a penny of military resources and grain from the imperial court, that is, there is no clear instruction that the field can not come to a copy: what the imperial court is going to do, it is a one-year counteroffensive and three years of success; It is still ten years of life and gathering, ten years of lessons, and the court has not given a clear statement.

In such a dazed state, what kind of mentality Li Cao is, and what kind of mentality is the righteous army and the defeated soldiers scattered in Jingdong, Jingxi, Huaidong, and Huaixi, naturally no one will care, and no one will review it. Li Gang is only virtuous, but he does not consider the current situation as a whole, not to mention that there is an ignorant little emperor above.

However, the fall of Dengzhou made the existing battle for luck in Bianliang make waves again. Li Gang proposed three alternative goals: Chang'an, Xiangdeng and Jiangnan, and now Luoyang to Dengzhou are occupied by Jin soldiers, and the roads leading to Chang'an and Xiangyang have been cut off, leaving only Jiangnan as an option.

The debate over whether to go or not to go has become intense. This dispute is not the same as the dispute about patrolling luck during the Jingkang period.

When the Jin soldiers surrounded Bianliang for the first time, the emperor Zhao Ji had already run away, and the emperor Zhao Huan was squatting in Bianliang. Because as soon as Zhao Huan ran, the greatest legitimacy of his coming to power - sticking to Bianliang fell short, so even if Zhao Huan was caught by the gold thief, he couldn't run.

When the Jin soldiers besieged Bianliang for the second time, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were all squatting in Bianliang, and no one was willing to go first, because whoever left first, the power would fall on the person who stayed behind, and at that time, Li Gang had been belittled, and there was no responsible minister in the court to decide to run to Xiangyang. Moreover, at that time, whether it was war, peace, or leave, it was all based on the party and government, and there was no discussion of issues from the perspective of military operations.

This time, the Jin soldiers went south, and there was no direct threat to Bianliang, and the main reason for discussing the patrol was that there were too many displaced people and not enough food to eat. Moreover, in the two phases and three references, Huang Qianshan has been questioned, and the other four people have no fundamental contradictions, so they can sit down and discuss the strategy calmly.

Dengzhou fell, and the light gang and grain and grass reinforced by Shuzhong have been cut off since then. The threat to the food-starved Bianliang is real. In today's capital hall, not only did Zhang Shuye, the secretary of the Privy Council, and Xu Han, the secretary of the Privy Council, be invited, but also invited the commander of the palace to envoy Wang Yu.

Everyone first talked about the problem of defending the city of Bianliang. Wang Yu is very confident in this. In the two years since the Jin soldiers retreated, 100,000 new standing troops were recruited in the entire Tokyo Province, and although Wang Yu had been excluded by the family for nearly half a year and did not directly control the army, the rulers recognized his military judgment.

"Wang Dianshuai, according to what you said, Bianliang can definitely be defended."

"That's right, Bianliang not only has its own defenders, but in Hebei, there are also our troops attacking the rear of the gold thieves, cutting off the grain and grass of the gold thieves, and the officers and troops in the south will come to support."

"The reinforcements from the south can't even send grain and grass now."

Wang Yu said: "How to help the homeless, whether you want to patrol the luck, you have your own capital hall as the master, Wang Yu does not dare to beak." ”

"Wang Dianshuai, do you mean that with the combat strength of the Bianliang Forbidden Army, you can hold the capital, but if there is a lack of food and grass, it is not your responsibility?" Xu Han, a member of the Privy Council, asked. He asked very directly.

Wang Yu was displeased in his heart, but he still replied respectfully: "The matter of grain and grass is all up to the dispatch of the capital. ”

Li Gang said: "The gold thief occupies Dengzhou, and the southwest has been extinct, only looking forward to the southeast platform, I don't know if the southeast can guarantee the shipment, as long as the southeast can guarantee it, we will raise money in Gyeonggi, and we can barely support the autumn harvest." ”

Zhang Chengbo replied: "I have already sent a document to ask Zhang Youji, the pacification envoy of Jingxi Road, about this matter, and he said that as long as the gang is transported to the north of the Huai River, he can guarantee that it will be transported to Beijing, but as for the south of the Huai River, he does not dare to guarantee it." However, Wang Boyan, the prefect of Yangzhou and the transfer envoy of Huainan East Road, did not give a reply. ”

"Then you can only decide when Wang Boyan responds. For now, we have to prepare for both. Uncle Zhang said at night, "If you want to leave, then who stays in Bianliang, the official family leaves, whether the palace room wants to follow, and whether the hundred officials also want to go." ”

"Patrolling, the same as moving the capital. We should persuade the officials to try not to patrol the luck, but at the same time make preparations for the release. ”

"If this is not the case, we will have our own affairs, and we will have to persuade the officials. If Wang Dianshuai is free, why not make a travel strategy, and if he really wants to leave, he will also be prepared. He Li gave Wang Yu a task that was ahead of his time—a plan for the migration of the emperor, hundreds of officials, and millions of inhabitants and displaced people.

Wang Yu was about to resign, but Sun Fu said: "If the palace marshal has any needs, just say it." ”

Seeing that the two rulers said this, Wang Yu also found a reason to excuse himself: "The scribes under the command of Yu are okay to write some seals, but if you want to make a strategy, you will never be qualified." ”

Li Gang glanced at Zhang Shuye: "The two sons of the privy council, when Bianliang defended the city, they should be rewarded, but unfortunately there has been no suitable position to reward the merits. ”

Chongzheng Hall tells stories, the Son of Heaven is close to the ministers, from the seven products, the palm is the emperor to tell the history of books, explain the meaning of the scriptures, and prepare consultants. With Zhao Chen's current situation that he has not yet been crowned, the current Chongzheng Palace's storytelling is cultivated according to Zaifu's path.

Zhang Shuye said a few words modestly, pretended to excuse a few words, and under the persuasion of Li Gang and Sun Fu, he reluctantly accepted the promotion of his two children.

He turned his head and comforted Wang Yu, asking him to mention Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong more, and scold him if there was anything wrong.

Wang Yu was forced into a corner, and the privy councillor handed over the future of his child to himself, and it was arranged by the prime minister, unless he was determined to turn his face with Li Gang and Zhang Shuye, he must go next. He had to be humble, and praised the two brothers Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong, and thanked Zhang Shuye for sending his two sons to serve him, and he was deeply honored.

Everyone was about to continue the discussion, and suddenly the chamberlain Huang Yanjie arrived in front of the door: "Greetings to all the ministers, the officials sent slaves and maids to ask, can the ministers discuss the matter of the good fortune?" ”

"Are the officials in a hurry?" Li Gang scolded, "You just tell the officials, the ministers think it's better to stay in Bianliang." ”

Huang Yanjie was ordered to reply to Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen was practicing calligraphy, he heard Li Gang's reply, and wanted to try his best to make a calm appearance, still writing on the paper one by one. Because of the shaking of his hand, he wrote a few words, and the strokes were crooked.

Zhao Chen suddenly threw his pen and ink aside: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, I want to inspect my own land, but there is so much noise, get out, get out." He flipped the table, and the inkstone fell to the floor

The maids and maids of the palace all retreated in a hurry, and Huang Yanjie was about to leave, but he stretched out his hand and beckoned a small chamberlain: "You go and tell the Queen Mother, saying that the Son of Heaven is angry for no reason, and the Queen Mother said that the person who informed him of the emperor's situation will be rewarded." Well, before you see the Queen Mother, talk to Father-in-law Tong first. ”

The little chamberlain went to see Tong Mu, and Tong Mu looked the little chamberlain up and down: "Are you Huang Yanjie's henchman?" What's your name? ”

The little waiter said: "The little one is just in the same class as Huang Yanjie, and the little one is called Dalaohu, who is the emperor's henchman." ”

"The emperor's henchman, well, okay, you go and report to the Queen Mother, just say what you want to say, I'm outside the palace, I can't hear anything."

This Dalaohu went to report to Zhu Fenglian: "The emperor was angry with the prime minister and lifted the table." ”

Zhu Fenglian asked the reason, and was angry: "You did the right thing, receive the reward, and call the official family to come to see me." ”

Zhao Chen saw Dalaohu delivering the decree for Zhu Fenglian, feeling strange in his heart on the one hand, and a little scared on the other. When he saw Zhu Fenglian, he was scolded by the Queen Mother: "You are only fourteen years old, you know what to do, and you have your own responsibility for military affairs, and you dare to lift the table on the prime minister." ”

"Erchen is wronged, where does Erchen dare to flip the table against the prime minister."

Zhu Fenglian pointed at Dalaohu: "With what he saw with his own eyes, you still dare to deny it, dare to do it, how can you be the emperor?" ”

Zhao Chen knelt down to admit his mistake and asked his mother to calm her anger. Zhu Fenglian saw that Zhao Chen's attitude was acceptable, and his tone calmed down, and persuaded the emperor: "Don't say that the prime ministers don't agree to go, General Hu also asked people to say that you must not leave Bianliang, the heart of the world in Bianliang, if there is a change in Bianliang, the world will shake." General Hu is a person who knows the soldiers, and what he said must be reasonable. ”

Zhao Chen lowered his head, and Zhu Fenglian couldn't see a distortion on his face: "Calling the general, calling the general, my ears are almost calloused." He said he couldn't move, and I had to move to show him. ”
