The reason why the nobles and wealthy families can stand tall and die without stiffening depends not only on financial resources and direct influence in the court, but also on the servants, generals, private soldiers, and doormen they legally support.

Of course, there are also their countless family children, the dead soldiers who have been secretly cultivated, and the outlaws who have been secretly recruited and raised.

Ordinary servants, family members, generals, private soldiers, and other people with status can enter the city in a grand manner, and they can naturally enter the mansions and courtyards in Chang'an City.

However, the dead, rangers, and outlaws were obviously not so convenient, and it became a last resort to try to infiltrate the city.

As the sky shone slightly, the gates of Chang'an City opened, and the people who gathered outside the gates of Chang'an City began to enter the city in order, and a large number of unidentified, ill-intentioned, and ill-intentioned outlaws were also mixed in.

Among them, he entered the city from Chunhui Gate east of Chang'an City, headed by Li Feng, and bought a cart of charcoal with a car.

Compared with when the charcoal seller was the owner, the charcoal is still the charcoal, and the car is still the same car, but the bullock that was originally responsible for pulling the cart in front of the car is gone.

In fact, it is not that a few people are unwilling to buy the bullock, but the charcoal seller is unwilling to sell, after all, as long as the eldest princess's mansion is still there, the silver money will be endless, and a good bulf is not easy to encounter.

Su Tan Weng was reluctant to sell cattle, and Li Feng and the others were helpless, so the front of the car became two strong men instead, and the remaining few people were humming and humming hard.

In this way, under the joint force of the front and back of the group, the whole car was slowly pushed, and more than 1,000 catties of charcoal slowly moved towards the city gate.

As the flow of people walked to the city gate, looking at the entire row of gatekeepers wearing heavy armor, holding long soldiers, and checking one by one, Li Feng and his party's hearts were already pounding.

Obviously, as expected, the inspection of Chang'an City into the city has become stricter. Their identities are really invisible, and the movements of each party are too obvious, and more importantly, they only carry some clothes used to disguise their identities and do not carry blades.

There is no blade in hand, so that these outlaws who lick the blood with their knives are extremely uneasy, although they have long been prepared to fool the guards and prepare the bribes, but once they are found in the interrogation, or what unexpected variables appear...... The others are fine, maybe because of age, maybe because of experience, maybe because they believe in the experienced brother Li, but the young man surnamed Hu who offered to buy charcoal was already nervous and cold sweat broke out before he walked to the city gate.

Su is an overly nervous kid, and even the group is a lot nervous. At this time, it is

"Humph",

The group of people who pushed the cart reacted, and without the bullock pulling the cart, the behavior of several of them in the cart hid their uneasy emotions a lot.

Rao was like this, and when it was time for them to be inspected, Li Feng, including the leader, clenched the small bag that he had taken out in advance and stepped forward in advance.

However, before Li Feng could speak, Shi Chang, who was standing in front of him, was the first to speak.

"Are you going to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to sell charcoal?" Li Feng was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face that looked humble and unconfident.

"Uh, yes, this military master." As he spoke, the chief in front of the city gate nodded, and looked at the chariot with charcoal, and the strong men who were sweating profusely because of the carts and carts.

"Well, yes, I'm afraid this cart of charcoal has thousands of catties, and it has the strength of the handle, not bad," said this, and the chief suddenly changed his words.

"Brother, it's not a short time to come to Guanzhong from Hebei." The other party's cold words made Li Feng's hair tremble all over his body in an instant, and several people behind Li Feng were also scared half to death, so that the movements of several people stiffened.

"This ...... This...... The military master said with a smile, I'm just waiting for ......" Shi Chang obviously saw Li Feng's uneasiness, and also saw the uneasiness of the few people behind Li Feng, but he didn't wave his knife, nor did he order the soldiers around him to do it, but stepped forward and patted Li Feng's shoulder gently.

"This brother, don't worry, brother, I'm also from Hebei."

"This ......" Sue

"Brother, my surname is Zhang, my name is Zhongwu, my Zhang family has served in the Youzhou army for generations since my ancestors, and my father entered Beijing as an official a few years ago." Hearing Zhang Zhongwu's simple self-introduction, Li Feng, who was also born in the Hebei Domain's Zhenjun, already roughly knew Zhang Zhongwu's origin, because there was indeed such a lineage surnamed Zhang in Lu Longjun, to be precise, it was Fanyang Zhang's family.

Although Fan Yang Zhang has not been in charge of the military town, but in Youzhou, it is also the foundation of the Lu Long army is quite deep, and under several changes, it has not been affected too much, on the contrary, its strength and influence are quietly increasing, so that the current Lu Long Jie Du makes Liu Zong dare not act easily.

Knowing the identity of the other party, coupled with the fact that the other party did not show malicious intent, Li Feng's uneasiness also weakened a lot, hesitated slightly, and spoke directly.

"In the next, Li Feng, dissatisfied with Brother Zhang, once served in Yizhou, but later ......, hey, ......, the world is difficult, I had to leave my hometown with a few brothers and come to this capital to beg for a living......" After listening to Li Feng's self-report, Zhang Zhongwu nodded, although he has now become a member of the forbidden army, but his ancestors have served in the Lu Long Army, and he also has a certain understanding of Lu Longjun.

Three years ago, Emperor Taishang went north from Cangzhou, although he did not have a direct conflict with President Liu, but it still had an immeasurable impact on Lu Longjun.

During the period when Emperor Su was in Youzhou, he had contact with all the noble clans under the rule of the entire Lu Long Army.

His father, Zhang Guangchao, who was well-read, well-written, discerning and good at sergeant, also made up his mind at that time and accepted the invitation of the Emperor Taishang to come to the capital to serve.

When his father led the family to move to Chang'an, the power structure in Chang'an City had reached a balanced situation, in order not to affect the power structure of the imperial court, the Emperor Taishang did not directly grant him any important positions at the first time, but he was not stingy in status and rewards.

The champion general, who is on the third grade, is the fourth-level rank of military attaché, which is not low. Although the real power of the Guozi sacrifice wine is not high, the official position is regarded as the same as that of the servant and Cao Shangshu, and the status and influence are really not low.

Compared with the official rank and position, Zhang Zhongwu once thought that the nominal General Xingzuo Weiwei was just a reason to facilitate his father's military affairs.

But now, after becoming a low-level officer in the forbidden army, he has understood that General Xingzuo Weiwei is his father's most valuable position.

Under normal circumstances, the 12 guards of the newly formed forbidden army should be similar to the size of a regiment of the Changying Army, about 6,000 people, but the same 12 guards also have a gap because of different emphases.

For example, the left and right Jin Wuwei, responsible for guarding the capital, is more inclined to the security war in the city; Left and right guards, left and right guards, mainly guarding the four passes in the pass, focusing more on the equipment of defending the city; , left and right guards, as the main mobile combat force in Guanzhong, with the highest proportion of cavalry; The fully staffed Zuo Weiwei had 3,400 men in two battalions of soldiers, 1,800 men in two battalions of engineers, 1,200 men in one battalion of cavalry, and a total of 7,600 men in addition to other auxiliary troops, and 8,000 heads of various livestock, including war horses and pack horses.

Like the Right Guard, the Left Guard, and the Right Guard, it is the guard with the largest number and the strongest combat effectiveness among the 12 guards of the newly formed Forbidden Army, and is the most suitable for field battles.

The status and importance of such a general of the Left Guard are naturally not comparable to the intermediate military academy of Lu Longjun, and this is still not more important.

Three years ago, a general of the Left Guard also represented Zhang Guangchao and Zhang Zhongwu's family and had been included in the new forbidden army with Guo Rong as the core.

Then, two days earlier, his father, Zhang Guangchao, the current general of Zuo Weiwei, had already led the four guards of the Southern Ya to aid Chen Cang, and had actually become one of the most important generals of Li Tang.

It's just that in Datang, as long as you can achieve the level of a high-ranking official, few people are really fools, all of them are exquisite, and the same is true of Zhang Guangchao and Zhang Zhongwu, who are both civil and military.

Judging from the analysis of Zhang Guangchao and Zhang Zhongwu's father and son, Zhang Guangchao's reuse is not only his ability, but more importantly, Li Yu and Li Chun's father and son are using them to balance Guo Rong, who is the dominant family in the forbidden army.

Zhang Zhongwu and his father Zhang Guangchao are obviously the beneficiaries of the Emperor Taishang's northward journey, and those who have beneficiaries must have victims, and Li Feng and his brothers are most likely victims of the Emperor's exclusion and forced exile after going north.

Although Zhang Zhongwu's military position is not high, because of his identity, he naturally knows the plan to catch turtles in the urn today.

In fact, there is a point of Li Feng's worries that is correct, because Zhang Zhongwu saw the thick style of Li Feng and his party from the first glance.

It was very easy for Su to put them in the city, but if there was no hint, it wouldn't be long before Li Feng and the others would die in Chang'an City as rebellious.

It's just that since Zhang Zhongwu knows the role of his father and son, he is naturally willing to expand his mountain according to the design of Emperor Taishang Li Yu and Emperor Li Chun.

"Brother Li, listen to my brother's words, after sending the charcoal to the eldest princess's mansion, just leave it directly, let's just say that it was recommended by Zhang Guangchao, the general of Zuo Weiwei." Within three days, in addition to Li Feng, Zhang Zhongwu had already discovered more than a group of outlaws who were trying to enter Chang'an.

However, Li Feng and the others are the only reasonable, reasonable, legal, and compliant intruders, and it is not difficult to say a little bit, but it is indeed not easy to find in a short period of time.

Therefore, in Zhang Zhongwu's view, these people are also talents, and more importantly, these people are also from Lu Long.

Going to the Eldest Princess's Mansion for refuge is the way he pointed out to these people, whether they can understand it, whether they can adopt it, and whether they dare to implement it, it depends on Li Feng and a few people.

If they really went to the eldest princess's mansion, Zhang Zhongwu believed that the eldest princess would give his father a face.

And once a few of them can really survive under their own guidance, it will not be a problem for them to become their own henchmen in the future.

As for rashly popping up their father's name, there is a risk, but if their father and son judged correctly, the emperor would definitely not be punished for this name.

Li Feng has Zhang Zhongwu's until, but it doesn't mean that everyone has such luck. After successfully entering Chang'an City, these ill-intentioned guys, according to the agreement and arrangement before entering the city, began to look for their contacts and footholds.

Then they start their preparations, and when everything is ready, they will start as soon as the boss of the house returns safely after the meeting.

In fact, after the outlaws mixed with the people entered Chang'an, at the city gate, they had already seen a lot of people who had just been armed, and they saw a team of Jin Wuwei who were wearing strong and stubborn clothes and patrolling the streets.

However, these outlaws didn't care about this, because they had already obtained this news before entering the city, if it weren't for Jing Zhaoyin's recruitment of the people in the shortest possible time to fill the vacancy in the city defense of Chang'an City, they would not have entered Chang'an City in such a hurry.

Of course, more importantly, their master has prepared all the equipment for them, heavy armor, long soldiers, strong bows, and heavy crossbows.

In the case of similar equipment and similar personnel, it is not too simple to clean up these stupid people and Jin Wuwei who are patrolling the streets with mental calculation or not, simply put, the advantage is mine!

Originally, everything was as usual, but just when they were preparing for rebellion step by step after entering the city, the bells and drums sounded loudly, and the city gate, the palace gate, and the fang gate were suddenly closed.

After the sound of the bell tower and drum tower in Chang'an City disappeared and the door was closed, the drums used for the curfew came from the square.

Although it is not at night, the sound of the drum represents the same system as the night curfew.

In the place where the Tang Dynasty was founded, the place responsible for monitoring the curfew was the ruling Jinwu, who was mainly responsible for warning the people who traveled at night, and later gradually developed into a drum to indicate the beginning of the curfew, and after more than a hundred years of curfew, everyone has formed a conditioned reflex for this drum.

As long as the drum sounds, whether it is a dignitary, a wealthy businessman, or an ordinary person, they must return home in the shortest possible time, and those who enter the city from outside Chang'an City must return to the place where they stay, and after returning home, they need to close the door.

During the ordinary curfew, if the officials, patrolmen, and Jin Wuwei were found to be traveling at night without permission, they would be punished with cane, ranging from 30 to 50.

Of course, for those who perform official duties, they only need to show official documents to travel normally at night.

The ordinary curfew punishment is cane reprimand, but the martial law and stay-at-home orders that are impromptu during the day are not simply cane rebukes!

While inspecting the streets, shouting, and persuading the people to go home, the officials of each fang also clearly stated the consequences of violating martial law, ranging from a hundred rods to 3,000 li of exile.

After a quarter of an hour, Jin Wuwei will begin to patrol the streets, and if he still wanders the streets, those who resist will be punished as rebels!

A moment ago, everything was still under control, but now, the closure of the city gate has cut off the traffic inside and outside Chang'an, the closure of the palace gate has isolated the communication between the inside and outside of the palace city, and the closure of the square gate has isolated the connection between the city and the square.

Even more lethal are martial law and stay-at-home orders. Martial law and stay-at-home orders between cities and neighborhoods are even more deadly.

All the people of all colors were cut off from each other in an instant, and soon after these guys were in a hurry, a patrol of people and men had already taken to the streets, and began to drive away the pedestrians who were still stuck in the streets and alleys.

Fortunately, the citizens in Chang'an City are kind, and those who have nowhere to go are taken into their homes by the citizens.

With the completion of the streets of each city, the doors of the Chang'an City were opened, and under the guidance of the swordsmen of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, the recruits of the forbidden army who entered Chang'an City quickly rushed to Chang'an City with battalions as units.

Soon, the first target was surrounded. After refusing to open the door three times in a row, the eight bull crossbows and catapults were set up at the door.
