In the sixth year of Qianfu, May.

Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, a heavy rain quickly invaded Chang'an. The surging water vapor enveloped Kyoto, and the heavens and the earth turned pale.

Late at night, Du Rang Neng hurriedly returned home from the military deployment, took off his damp-soaked robe, and asked in a low voice: "Jiaojiao'er is better today?" ”

"I woke up once during the day. Somehow, her eyes were spinning, but she didn't answer anything she asked, as if she had been tongue-in-cheek by a cat......"

Cui Shi took the robe and carefully sorted it out, his face was full of gloom: "I look like my soul is gone, why don't I go to the temple tomorrow morning and invite a sister-in-law to take a look?" ”

"What can my sister-in-law do? It's just a bluffing trick. Du Rangneng didn't believe in the ghosts and gods, and when he heard the words, he said: "I'll go to Zhang Yizheng's house tomorrow morning, whether it's coaxing or fainting, let him come and see it again!" ”

He is in his Chinese New Year's Eve, which is the age of high spirits, and once he puts down Sven, he will show a bit of dashing and uninhibited.

When Cui Shi saw it, the smoke between his eyebrows finally dispersed a little: "You have always had ideas, and they all listen to you." ”

After Du Rang was able to change into homely clothes, the two went to the Four Seasons Garden as usual.

In the very exquisitely furnished bedroom, Jiao Jiaoer was lying quietly as usual, her palm-sized face was sunk in the quilt, which was very painful.

Cui Shi tightened the quilt for her, then quietly withdrew, and sat down by the window of the hall: "Why did you come back so late today, but business is not going well?" ”

Speaking of official business, Du Rangneng's expression gradually became solemn, and he explained in a deep voice: "Huang Chao Shang, the book invited the Tianping Army to make an envoy, and the sage issued an edict to let the ministers discuss this matter, so it was late. ”

In the past few years, disasters have occurred in various places, and the wasteland has been ten miles away, and hunger has been everywhere. Some people took the opportunity to gather a large number of victims to make trouble, and attacked the prefecture and county all the way, and the momentum was very huge.

Huang Chao was the leader of the largest rebel army, and he occupied dozens of cities, and now he has even asked the Heavenly Family for an official position.

Although Cui Shi is a woman in the back house, she also knows what this means, and her hand holding the wick shook, and the light also trembled: "...... Do you want to give him an official position? ”

Du Rangneng shook his head.

Cui's heart sank: "So, this battle still has to be fought?" ”

"Naturally, we have to fight." Du Rangneng sighed, but he didn't relieve much heaviness.

This battle should never have been fought.

The imperial court has not used soldiers for a long time, and now soldiers do not know how to fight, and generals do not know how to lead soldiers. The festival generals in various towns are very reluctant to even keep themselves behind closed doors.

And most of Huang Chao's troops are ordinary people who have encountered a hungry year.

The two things were combined, and Huang Chao should have been restrained with a false official position, and then used stratagems to divide the forces in his hands. Wait for his men to disperse before marching again.

However, in order to cultivate his own power, Lu Xian, the secretary of the military department, deliberately exaggerated the strength of the imperial court and forcibly used troops.

If this battle is lost, how many people will die and how many people will be displaced?

Not to mention the consumption of the treasury, and how the Shatuo clan, which was already eyeing the Central Plains, would act.

The husband and wife were speechless, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became heavy, only the orange fire lit up slightly.

At this time, a delicate and soft voice came out of Du Baozhu's room, breaking the solemnity of the moment: "Aya, Niang." ”

Cui's eyelids twitched, and he almost cried, so he hurriedly ran to the side of the bed and hugged the little man into his arms: "Jiaojiao'er, you're finally fine." You know, you scared A-Niang. ”

"Auntie, I'm fine." Du Baozhu raised his head and hurriedly asked, "Aye, what were you talking about just now?" Is there going to be a war? ”

"This ......" Du Rangneng didn't expect his daughter to listen to the conversation between the husband and wife, and wanted to deny it, but she was not a person who could lie, so she had to say vaguely: "The chaos is not peaceful, and I think it is a fight." ”

"I've heard my eldest brother say that those grass soldiers are murderous demons, what if they enter Kyoto? Let's get out of here before it's too late! ”

"This kid ......" Du Rang could cry and laugh: "The capital is the safest place, where do you want to run?" ”

Not necessarily. 'Du Baozhu' shook his head in his heart.

She is not actually the real Du Baozhu, but a modern revenant who has fused the memories of the original owner.

Therefore, she remembers very well that the history books say that in the second year when Huang Chaoshang Shuqiu was rejected by the imperial court, he brought more than 600,000 horses into the capital, and the emperor fled to Chengdu overnight.

Du Rangneng was also among the companions, and he was also reused by the emperor in Chengdu with his outstanding ability.

But after that, he became a 'craftsman' who repaired leaky boats on the water, and did nothing until he died on the road of denigration more than ten years later.

From then on, there will be no more Jingzhao Dushi!

In order to protect this stupid loyal minister, and for his own future, Du Baozhu decided to guide Du Rang Neng away from that tragic fate as soon as possible.
