Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 69 The Capital ([-])

"Doctor Li." Feng Yin saluted respectfully.

Although he is now a deputy general of the Shence Battalion and Li Kan is a doctor of the censorship, they belong to different affiliations, but the relationship between the two is naturally different, and Feng Yin still did his due diligence.

"Shiro is here." Li Kan went to the grass pavilion to meet him in person, then brought Feng Yin into the house, Kan's wife Hu also came out to meet, and then ordered people to make tea.

"To withdraw from the DPRK today, a certain party knows that state affairs can no longer be done." After a long sigh, Li Kan's eyes dimmed and he sighed: "I ordered Zhang Chengfan to lead the army east, but the equipment was dull and inferior, and there was no food and grass. Zhang Chengfan tried his best to get food and grass, The reinforcements said 'Qing but go first, the soldiers are here', and also said 'The ten thousand people under the command of Ruzheng's interception system and the commander Qi Kerang have gone outside Tongguan, and they can be each other's inner and outer'. Zhang Chengfan was unhappy. , led the soldiers and horses pioneer envoys and the Jietongguan system envoys to seal the letter and report to the body and left. Two thousand eight hundred crossbowmen, it would be good to have three hundred people who can fight."

Let you go first with damaged equipment and not enough food and grass, and lie to you that the follow-up reinforcements will come soon. This is to let Zhang Chengfan die.Feng Yin couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for this general Zhang, who had never met before. There are more than ten generals in the Shence Battalion, why did they choose you?

"When will Huang Chao go west?" Feng Yin asked with concern.

"Last month, Qi Ke made a statement, and Huang Chao turned to the troops in Henan, Yunqi wanted to attack the eastern capital, and then went to the capital to ask the monarchs and ministers for their crimes, without involving other people, and ordered them to defend their own fortresses and not to offend their troops. The army has entered the eastern capital, and Liu Yunzhang, who stayed behind, led hundreds of officials to welcome him. Chao's army entered the city and did not commit any crimes in the autumn of Luoyang. He was laughing at that Liu Yunzhang bent his knees to be a thief.

"Is the imperial court prepared?" Feng Yin clenched his fists unconsciously, and the Henan troops let the Chaozhong go without fighting, which was very similar to the rebellion between Li Guochang's father and son in Hedong.

Li Kan glanced at Feng Yin, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious, and he created three short titles, Zhang Chengfan was appointed as the envoy of Jietongguan, Wang Shihui was appointed as the envoy of Guansai grain, and Zhao Ke was appointed as the envoy of Zhaizhai, but the soldiers sent out were just There were only those 800 people, and there were more than [-] soldiers and horses brought by the former Taining Jiedu envoy Qi Kerang outside Tongguan, and then they disappeared.

The soldiers are unbearable, and there is no food, grass or equipment. How can this Tongguan be defended?It was a hundred times more difficult than that of Goshuhan back then.

"Where are the eight towns in the northwest of Beijing?"

"The sage has ordered Tian Lingzi to be the commander of the Shence Army, the eight inner and outer towns, and the soldiers and horses of various Taoist forces, and Yang Fugong, the envoy of the flying dragon, to be the deputy envoy, to arrange the troops and horses of the towns and enter the aid capital. However, there is no food and grass in the , reward, how can the troops do it?" Li Kan's mouth was still so unforgiving, and he was ruthless when he spoke of others: "The imperial court also ordered the commander of Hedong, Zheng Congji, to hand over military power to the commander of Xia Sui, Zhuge Shuang, and his representatives. Zhu Mei, the prefect of the prefecture, tried his best to lead the Hedong Army to the south to seek thieves. By the way, returning to the field and Lingzi restraint, this generation has more titles of Ru, Luo, Jin, Jiang, Tong, and Huadutong."

"Xia Sui?" Feng Yin remembered Shao Shude and asked, "Can Xia Sui's army go south?"

"It should be going south. Although Zhuge Shuang is bringing Hedong soldiers and horses this time, if there is no Xia Sui town soldiers in hand, how can they defeat the Hedong generals?"

"When is the edict?"

"The edict hasn't been issued yet, but it's just a few days ago."

Feng Yin seems to have realized something.After a while, seeing the expressionless expression on Li Kan's face, he mustered up his courage and said, "Doctor, can I take a walk?"

The words were not clear, but Li Kan still understood, he glanced at Feng Yin with a half-smiling smile, and said, "As soon as Zhuge Shuang leaves, there is no owner in the four states, and there must be someone who knows Xia Suijie to take care of things. Is that what Shiro meant?"

Speaking of this, Feng Yin no longer kept his secrets, and said, "Doctor, Xia Sui is heavy, and the soldiers are capable of fighting. If there is no one to rule, there will be troubles, not to mention the loyalty to the king in the south."

"Yang Yue, the military envoy of the military, and Tuoba Sigong, the governor of Youzhou, are they not good choices?"

"Doctor, don't make fun of me." Feng Yin said anxiously: "Who is this generation, we have no friendship. Shude has done a lot in Hedong, and he is very respectful to the doctor. It doesn't look like an ungrateful person, doctor. Why don't you push the boat along the river and earn personal favors, which will be of great use in the future."

"This matter is difficult, and it is not in conformity with the system." Li Kan sighed.

"However, even if the princes do not allow it, once Zhuge Shuang is defeated and dies in the future, the first thing that the court will think of will be to cultivate virtue." Feng Yin said eagerly: "This is a good opportunity to show kindness."

Li Kan was a little hesitant to hear that.When holding Jiehedong, Shao Shude served as his minion for a period of time, and then he became estranged, and even went to Suizhou by Qiu Weidao's way, which made him a little uneasy.But Xuan also remembered that when he left Jinyang, no one saw him, only Shao Shude personally led the horse for him, and Li Kan was a little moved.

Feng Yin was right, Shao Shude was not an ungrateful person.Throwing in yourself, not forgetting the appointment with Qiu Weidao, this is the performance of remembering the old kindness.Anyway, how can people like Yang Yue and Tuoba Sigong read their own benefits?This kind of favor, really only Shao Shude can accept, and can best give a good return.

"Shiro should go to Suizhou and Xiazhou as soon as possible. This matter is very important. My family has a farm in Fuping County, so I can temporarily avoid your family. Let's go home and rectify and go north as soon as possible." After a while, Li Kan finally made up his mind After making up his mind, he said: "This matter was only decided today, and the decree has not yet been officially issued. It is better to hurry up and not be too late. In addition, Shiro does not have to expect too much. As soon as Zhuge Shuang left, he chose another general, Quan Zhi Xia Suijie, to take care of the matter. Isn't that right? Force against others? The imperial court will not allow it. What we can do now is to let the sage know that there is a person like Shude. In case Zhuge Shuang dies the next day, Yang Yue or Tuoba Sigong will be the first to take over the throne. "

"There are 60 people in the nest, can they be leveled in a short time?" At the end, Li Kan said in a low voice: "There are more than [-] soldiers and horses in the eight towns in the northwest of Beijing. Not all of them are willing to fight to the death. Once the war is unfavorable and the court changes horses, this is a good opportunity. .”

"Thank you doctor for your guidance." Feng Yin stopped drinking the tea and said goodbye.

This matter is really important. For Shao Shude, it is undoubtedly a big hurdle in life. Once you have crossed it, the sky will be vast. If you don't cross it, let Yang Yue and Tuoba Sigong gain the power of Xia Sui, and you don't know how many years it will take. .

It's really time to go to Xiazhou!After the supervisor let Qiu Weidao know, he should know what to do.

Now that Zheng Tan is appointed as the military envoy of Fengxiang Longyou, if there are [-] soldiers in Xia Sui Town, how can Ximen Si Gong not be happy?Moreover, most of the generation of Tian Lingzi and Yang Fugong would not hinder them. What they valued were the towns near Chang'an, and Xia Sui Town, which was separated from the capital by the desert and Hengshan, was a bit low in value.

Of course, the above are all ideal situations, and the possibility is too low.But Feng Yin has also changed his mind now. Shao Shude is indeed far behind Yang Yue and Tuoba Sigong in the ranking of Xia Suijieshuai, but it doesn't matter. Let's make a bottom line now. Once he makes a contribution to Guanzhong in the future, Zhuge Shuang If something else happens, then there is a chance.

There are only two things to do now.One, let Shao Shude know in advance that Zhuge Shuang is going to bring Hedong soldiers to fight the thieves, and the other, let him not follow him on the expedition, stay in the town and wait and see, waiting for the best time to enter.

Returning home in a hurry, Congmei Fengdu was chatting and laughing with his wife Liu, and it seemed that he had forgotten the sorrow of yesterday.That's good, now that I'm busy with big things, I don't want to get involved in the trivial matter between her and Wei Wei.

"Madam, what did Uncle say?" Feng Yin took a bow from the wall and asked directly.

"Grandpa agrees. Where is Langjun going?" Liu Shi asked in surprise.

"Don't ask." Feng Yin whispered: "If you want to travel far, you are in a hurry. You take the children to your uncle's house first, and then take my letterhead to find Dr. Li, and he will send someone to arrange for you to wait in Fuping. ."

"Are you going to Fuping for temporary shelter?"

Feng Yin nodded and said again: "I will also go from my sister. The secret school of Yin also sent someone to let him know, and it's up to him to go or not. There are only a few relatives in Beijing."

Liu is also a sensible person, knowing that his husband is planning a major event, so he said: "Husband is going, don't worry about your home. If you think the road is not peaceful, you can go to Liu's house. The second brother, third brother, and fifth brother of the concubine are all familiar with it. Military skills, and tight-lipped, should be able to help Langjun."

Feng Yin pondered for a while, and seemed to be thinking about how these in-laws of his family were in daily life. Knowing that they were all taciturn, and at the same time they could earn a favor from Shao Shude, so he nodded and said, "Yes. The road is really bad. Go, it’s good to have a few more people, so let’s go now.”

Feng Yin hurriedly went to his father-in-law's house and found a few of the Liu brothers.They are all the first-level petty officials of the Shence Battalion, but the Yue family is very strict, and they are not the kind of people who make a fool of themselves.Hearing Feng Yin say that there is something important to do, he has always been prudent, so he immediately agreed.Several people hurriedly grabbed dry food and weapons, then rode out of the city on horses, heading north, towards Kunfang Town.

Feng Yin's heart was full of fire.The world is threatening, and it is the time when heroes use force.Whether Zhuge Shuang can deal with Huang Chao, he is really not optimistic, maybe he will die after a few big defeats.If Shao Shude can successfully control the four states of Xia Sui after Zhuge Shuang, and has [-] elite soldiers, then he will be a prince.Even if Huang Chao occupies Guanzhong, they still have a way out.Between Xia Sui and Guanzhong, there are mountains and deserts blocking them. As long as they occupy a place with prominent spring water and send cavalry to harass them day and night, the expedition army will inevitably be exhausted and eventually collapse.

Going back ten thousand steps, Huang Chao gained power, declared himself an emperor and founded a country, and surrendered with the land of the four states, without losing his position as a prince.Shao Shude is nostalgic. As the Feng family who revealed the news at a critical moment, he can also use this to protect the family, and even go further, why not do it?
