Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 299 Struggling
On the eighth day of February in the second year of Wende, a few days after the Spring Festival.

Shao Shude put on his clothes under Zhao Yu's service.

The eldest daughter was married, and she was a young talent in the town, so Zhao Yu had nothing to dissatisfy.Now she is focusing on Lang Jun and her son. Women in this era are so "cute".

"In a few days, let's go live in Lingzhou." Shao Shude pinched Zhao Yu's face and said with a smile.

"You're getting old, what's there to do?" Zhao Yu helped Shao Shude straighten his robes.

"Then pinch something else." Shao Shude put his hands on his buttocks, and said, "You girls from the Zhao family like this."

It was good that Shao Shude didn't mention it, but Zhao Yu was a little annoyed when he mentioned it.

Zhao Shu has been asked by her to be by her side as a personal maid, and she is determined not to let Mr. Lang get into trouble.

"Miss Zhuge may be pregnant." Zhao Yu said suddenly after tidying up his robes.

Shao Shude was a little surprised, but also stunned.

During those days in Lingzhou, there were no wives and concubines by his side, only four maids accompanied him.For Zhuge, he has a dark psychology that cannot be spoken to others. He enjoys it day and night, and it is normal to be pregnant.

"Then let her stay in Xiazhou." Shao Shude said.

When going to Lingzhou, not all wives and concubines are with them.

Da Feng just wanted to stay with the newborn Jiaoer, and accompany her day and night, while Xiao Feng stayed with her as her concubine.

Wei Cai did not go either.Those who really followed were his wife Zhe Fangai, his concubines Zhao Yu, Ye Li Lingji, and Wu Zang Miao'e.Uh, Tuobapu has already gone first, but Marshal Shao still dare not let her go with him, even though Zhe Shi already knew about the existence of this woman.

Sooner or later, Zhejue and Tuoba must serve this king together!Shao made a big wish.

Naturally, it is impossible for the commander-in-chief to go on the road alone.

The Wuwei Army and the Dingyuan Army with more than [-] cavalry have set off for Shannan West Road, and the Tianxiong Army has also set off for Qinzhou.

Yi Congjun rode 8000 paces from the left and right hatchbacks to the north to Zhenwu Army City, and [-] Zhenwu Army stayed behind in Xiasui.

What can be taken away is actually only six thousand cavalry from the iron cavalry and leopard cavalry.

More than 7 troops, not enough? !This thing makes...

Before leaving, Shao Shude received many pieces of information from the Watch Department.

After the two interceptions, the relationship between Shi Pu and Zhu Quanzhong of the Wuning Army deteriorated sharply.In November, Shi Pu personally led an army of [-] to face the Xuanwu Army, but was defeated.Zhu Quanzhong attacked Suzhou with another route, and Zhang You, the governor, surrendered.

However, Zhu Quanzhong's main force was exhausted, and the rear was also stolen.Qin Zongquan's capture of Xuzhou and the capture of Wang Yun, the queen of the Zhongwu Army Jiedu appointed by Zhu Quanzhong, was also miraculous.

Qin Zongquan was arrested by the general Shen Cong in December.In order to prevent him from escaping, Shen Cong also deliberately broke Qin Zongquan's legs, and then surrendered to Zhu Quanzhong.Zhu Quanzhong expressed Shen Cong as the queen of Caizhou Jiedu.

Seeing this, Shao Shude felt that Zhu Quanzhong's approach was not very safe.Isn't this bringing capital into the group?On the surface, Caizhou was recovered, but in reality?It is still in the hands of Cai thief, but Qin Zongquan has been replaced by Shen Cong.

But when he saw the next one, he was speechless again.

The other part of Qin Zongquan attacked and killed Shen Cong and Pei She with Guo Fan, sent Qin Zongquan to Bianzhou, and explained that the two wanted to restore Qin Zongquan.Zhu Quanzhong was too lazy to care about the mess between them, and expressed that Guo Fan was staying behind for Huaixi Jiedu.

Cai thief, who was rampant for a while, is now considered to be out of control.

The imperial army, commanded by Prime Minister Wei Zhaodu, entered Shu.

Zhu Mei's Fengxiang army attacked Mianzhou and killed Yang Shouhou, the governor of the city. Based on this, they managed the city and captured Dongchuan Jieshuai Gao Renhou who refused to enter the court.

Yang Shouhou, Yang's fake son.

Yang Fugong, Yang Shouzhong, Yang Shouxin, and Yang Shouli were personally supervised and beheaded by Ximen Zhongsui, and Yang Shouzong was killed by Zhu Quanzhong in Xuzhou.Now that Yang Shouhou died again, Yang Shouliang, the envoy of Qiongnan Jiedu, and Yang Shouzhen, the history of defense of Suizhou, were the only ones in the "Yang family class" who were a little bit better.

Mianzhou is a large county with a population of more than 20 in eight counties. If you count the hidden household registration, it is not surprising that there are [-].Based on this, Zhu Mei first established a firm foothold, and then plans for other states and counties, which is indeed a relatively safe choice.

The 5000 Shence Army led by Wei Zhaodu has also entered Chengdu Mansion. They won two battles and captured [-] Xichuan Army.

Chen Jingxuan was so anxious that he spent all his family's wealth. Only then did he stabilize the morale of the army a little bit, and planned to make a last-ditch effort.

This is just pecking at each other!Shao Shude put the information aside.Chen and Wei are two vegetable chickens, although Chen is a pancake seller, Wei Zhaodu is a prime minister, but to be honest, Wei may have more dishes.It's just that the [-] Shence Army recruited by him in Guandong Prefecture and County haven't died yet, and Ximen Wentong, Li Ting, Mancun and others are also considered to be somewhat capable.

It is not certain who will end up with this big town of Xichuan.

On February [-]th, Shao Shude's family of over a hundred, under the protection of the brigade's personal soldiers, headed for Lingzhou.Accompanying them were iron cavalry and leopard cavalry with six thousand cavalry soldiers.

More than a month later, the whole army arrived in Huaiyuan County, Lingzhou, and Chen Cheng, Shuofang Jiedu's deputy envoy, was also ordered to arrive in Liangzhou to handle the increasingly complicated political affairs in the area.

As for Shao Dashuai, the "chief director" of the audience, he does not plan to go west for the time being, but handles official business in Lingzhou and plays with his family at the same time.The current situation does not seem to be overly complicated, and it is just used to observe the talents of the generals under his command.

"Judge Chen." Weng Gao cupped his hands in the Hexi Jiedu envoy's yamen and said.

"Weng Shuai." Chen Cheng is now negotiating with Weng Gao in the capacity of the Hexi Observer Shogunate judge.

"Why did Judge Chen come to Liangzhou?" Weng Gao said confidently.

He is no longer a defense envoy, but a serious Jiedu envoy. Although he does not have a part-time job as an observation envoy, he is definitely the number one figure in the three states of Hexi in name.

And he has "spiritual strength" to support.

Since the end of Tianbao, although the national situation has been sluggish, none of the feudal towns have dared to deny the imperial court.There are unruly generals, stupid generals, insidious generals, and cruel generals are everywhere, but where have they all gone?
Huang Chao swept across the world, entered Chang'an, and entrenched for several years. In the end, the army was broken and died?

Datang is still there, everyone else is dead!
He is the Hexi Jiedu envoy appointed by the imperial court, and has a festival bestowed by the emperor.Liangzhou Gamo, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Suzhou Longjia and even Ganzhou Uighurs all tried their best to obtain the canonization of the imperial court. This is the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and Weng Gao's confidence.

Of course, after being an official for half his life, he is not a stunned young man who doesn't understand anything, otherwise he wouldn't be where he is today.In fact, he is still very politically minded, and it is his pride that he ran away with his predecessor Zheng.

It's not like there's no chance right now.

Thinking of the emperor's favor and the belief he had revered all his life, Weng Gao didn't want to surrender so easily.

He still wanted to struggle.

"The king of Lingwu County has recruited thousands of households from Guanzhong, and intends to send them to Guzang and Shenniao counties for reclamation. In order to avoid harassing and plundering, he will send troops to guard them. These fields and Dingkou are temporarily assigned to Liangzhou The Seven Cities were slaughtered and Yang Yue was in charge."

"The town's civilian farms and military farms can be used by old men. General Yang has done great service in guarding the country's frontiers, but the cultivation of farmland is definitely not the director's job. The shogunate has officials who are good at camping farms and can take over this matter. Prince Wu, don't worry."

"Oh? Can Weng Shuai supply cattle, farm tools, and seeds?" Chen Cheng said with a half-smile.

"Not all the tribes at the end of the river are wolf-hearted, but there are also tribal leaders who are loyal to the court. Even if the old man puts his face on it, he will borrow the cattle." Weng Gao said without giving in.

Chen Cheng glanced at him, and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, Marshal Weng, the king of Lingwu County has his own discretion. The civilian households will come in a few days, and they will bring their own cattle, farm tools, and seeds. The money and food they get will be used for military supplies. "

Hearing the word military supplies, Weng Gao hesitated slightly.It really couldn't be easier to use this point to determine Liangzhou's ups and downs.Tonight, all the generals in the mansion have to be summoned to stabilize the situation first.

At the end of the Guangming Dynasty, they survived all the difficulties. As long as the state soldiers still supported themselves and faced the court, they would have the power to protect themselves.Shao Shude can't openly drive and kill the imperial envoy, can he?This is inconsistent with what he has done in the past.

"There is one more thing. The Liangzhou government should have corresponding files for all the ministries, right? The King of Lingwu County wants to send someone to copy a copy in case of emergencies."

"During the Qianfu period, Liangzhou was trapped at the end of the year, and the city was looted, but now it is difficult to find it."

After hearing this, Chen Cheng was about to say something, but his heart moved.

In the early years of Qianfu, Yan Mo sent people to garrison Xichuan Town to guard against Nanzhao.So obedient, Liangzhou was captured in a blink of an eye, and it was not until the fourth year of Qianfu that Zhang Huaishen sent troops to take it back.

What happened in it, Chen Cheng didn't know, but he knew with his toes that it might not be that simple.

In this small temple in Liangzhou, the evil wind is really strong!

After the fruitless meeting with Weng Gao, Chen Cheng came to Miyagi in the north of the city.

It was built by Li Gui.

After the Tibetans occupied it, they did not destroy it. On the contrary, they refurbished and expanded it to serve as the residence of Bei Delun (Jiedushi of Tubo Liangzhou).

Looking at the dark palace complex in the night, Chen Cheng felt a little emotional.The commander-in-chief has captured the territory of Tubo Dongdelun (Hezhou Jiedushi), and is now trying to capture the territory of Beidelun.This kind of power, even Lun Horan, Shang Maid, Shang Yanxin, and Tuoba Huaiguang back then couldn't keep up.

After Chen Cheng left, many people came to the Weng Mansion in the evening.

"Marshal!" "Pu She!" "Ming Gong!"

The staff of the shogunate came forward one after another and supported Weng Gao who was crying bitterly.

Weng Gao said nothing, just shook his head, looking sad.

Zhang Hongxin remained silent, Li Mingzhen hesitated to speak, the other generals looked blank, and the most excited ones were the group of civil servants.

"The Hexi Shogunate has been operated by the imperial court for more than [-] years, and it is going to be thrown away in the hands of a certain person, and it is going to be thrown away in the hands of everyone." Weng Gao said with a sad face, squeezing out a few tears.

Everyone continued to look at each other.

Zhang Hongxin really couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded: "Marshal, the shogunate is still here, and Liangzhou is still here."

He dared to swear to God, even though he was sent to Lingzhou for a while, he was really not from Shao Shude, and Shao Shude never tried to win him over.Everything he did was for Liangzhou!

Continue to stand like this half-dead, the government order is useless outside the city, the best ditches outside the city are occupied by the Gamo people for farming, and the best pastures are also occupied by the Gamo people for grazing. Is this interesting?

It's better to let the king of Lingwu County send troops to sweep away Liangzhou's Gamo and Tubo, and the situation may suddenly become clear.Even if the Shuofang army is defeated, it doesn't matter, the worst is to return to the old way.

"Anxiuxiu is entrenched in Miyagi and will not leave. After a while, there will be large troops coming, then what should our Liangzhou army do?" Weng Gao said: "If Shao Shude wants to kill us, it is not a matter of one thought. ? We are all fish on an anvil.”

Zhang Hongxin was stunned.At this time, Weng Shuai still can't let go of this bit of power, so much love, what else is there to say?

"Minggong, what do you think we should do?" Li Mingzhen asked suddenly.

"What's the use of talking? People's hearts are not in harmony, so there's nothing to do." Weng Gao wiped his tears with his sleeve and sighed.

"Let's talk about it first. Everyone is an old man who has supported each other all the way. If it wasn't really helpless, who would want to vote for an outsider who doesn't know the background?" Li Mingzhen turned to look at the generals, and said, "Yes or not?"

Zhang Hongxin sighed secretly, what he said to Li Mingzhen a few days ago was in vain.

Well, I'm not a heartless person either.If Shao Shude was willing to accept the surrender of Liangzhou Town, all the generals would stay in their old positions, and he would have voted without hesitation, but it is obviously not like this now.

If Weng Shuai's strategy is really feasible, it may be the way.

Let's just listen.
