On the other side, Longkodo was holding a banquet in his mansion at this time, and the guests at the banquet were the aristocratic families who came to rely on him and some leaders of the Junggar and Mongolian tribes.

Among them, Junggar has disappeared because of Mog Khan, so the current temporary leader is his brother Galdan Celing. (This person is the prototype of Mog Khan. I can't find the relevant information and can only use it temporarily.

)

At the banquet, Longkodo sat at the main seat, and the others sat beside him on either side. In the middle, there were dancers and singers dancing and playing music. It could be said that the guests were enjoying themselves for a while.

At this moment, Longkodo had already forgotten about the Qing Dynasty. At this moment, he only had one feeling in his heart.

He is the emperor!

With hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal, Sichuan and Shaanxi are currently under his control. Coupled with the assistance of those wealthy families, he may become a hero like Cao Cao in the future.

As for the Taiping Army, he really didn't take it seriously. He was eager to attack the family members as soon as he came to power. This was simply asking for death. Now that the enemy's internal rebellion was undecided, if he sent troops to suppress the situation at this time, I'm afraid this yellow-mouthed kid would definitely be killed.

I must be scared to death.

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

At this time, Longkodo stood up from the main seat and raised a glass of wine in front of everyone and said:

"Now that the Taiping rebels have invaded the capital for a long time, my emperor and all the civil and military officials must be suffering the humiliation of these traitors at this moment. I am incompetent. Before leaving, the emperor expressed his wish to restore the country.

Now that the world is in ruins, it is time for us to serve the imperial court, so I would like to reorganize the entire army soon and attack the Taiping rebels. What do you think?"

Longkodo's words immediately silenced the originally noisy banquet.

"What Mr. Longkoda said is true. The Taiping thieves went against the grain in an attempt to overthrow the country. Not only that, they also brutalized Zhongliang in an attempt to confiscate the inheritance passed down by our ancestors. Such behavior is almost the same as banditry. I support your lord's recovery.

Qing Dynasty, regain the rivers and mountains!"

At this time, one of the family heads also stood up and echoed.

"Lord Longkodo, I am worthy of being a loyal member of the court. It is truly a blessing to the world to have you like this..."

With one leader taking the lead, the rest of the group followed suit one after another.

Among them, the leaders of the Junggar and Mongolian tribes were the most excited.

You must know that Longkodo had promised when he bribed them that if they could restore the country, they would be able to become marquises and prime ministers. By then, their people would no longer have to endure the wind and sun on the grasslands, and they could also go to the

Enjoy life in the Central Plains.

In this way, after toasting and changing cups, Longkodo's plan for the expedition was finally finalized.

"Sir, I feel something is wrong..."

Just after the banquet ended, an attendant suddenly approached Longkodo and said.

"Oh? What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Longkodo's slightly drunken eyes instantly became clear.

They have been foxes for thousands of years, and he knows very well when and where they can get drunk and when they can't.

Playing tricks when the situation arises is the most basic ability in officialdom.

"Although the Taiping Army is in a lot of trouble now, the situation of our army is actually not optimistic. Now that the imperial court has stopped money and food, and the capital has fallen, many soldiers have begun to feel worried.

In addition, the soldiers of Junggar are not restless. They have committed a lot of evil even near Xi'an Prefecture, so that many generals are already complaining about this. In addition, if they are at peace with us during the expedition,

If there is discord, then I’m afraid when the time comes…”

The attendant didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already very clear.

In order to win over the people of Junggar, Longkoduo specially asked Celing to bring their tribe's warriors to Xi'an to station themselves, and they could also enjoy the same treatment as the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

But he ignored one problem. As a tribe on the grassland, Junggar soldiers have always been unruly. After coming to Xi'an and seeing such a prosperous capital, he naturally couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart. It was like bullying the people and robbing.

There are countless other behaviors such as civilian women.

All these things have already aroused public resentment, and the soldiers also looked down upon it. However, because Longkodo did not pursue the case, many people dared to be angry and dare not speak out. This situation lasted until Yue Zhongqi arrived.

Somewhat relaxed.

As a figure who has been fighting against the Junggars all year round, although Yue Zhongqi is not as qualified as Longkodo, in terms of status, he is actually above Longkodo. Therefore, after arriving in Xi'an, as soon as he learned that the Junggar soldiers

Yue Zhongqi, furious at what he had done, personally led the troops to bring all those people to justice. He also publicly executed them in front of the people and finally exposed their bodies in the wilderness, which made the Junggar people at that time almost start an army and start a rebellion.

Later, it was Longkodo who acted as a peacemaker in the middle to calm the matter down. However, although the matter was calmed down, the hatred was still forged.

There is no way, Yue Zhongqi is still useful to him now. After all, the other party is still the nominal governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Many generals in the army are still his confidants and cannot be touched for a while. The Junggar on the other side is also very powerful. If there is a true peace.

It would also be a big help if the Taiping Army fought against each other.

Caught in the middle, Longkodo had a headache, but he had no good solution.

Longkodo has always known about the enmity between the two, so now that the attendant mentioned it again, he couldn't help but consider the stakes.

You must know that the most taboo thing in war is disunity. Although the two of them maintain stability on the surface, privately they are like a volcano about to erupt. If something happens, everything may be directly in vain.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Thinking of this, Longkodo couldn't help but cover his aching head, and then looked at the attendant and asked.

"Sir, the battle between the two armies is never a trivial matter. I feel that it is better not to fight until this hidden danger is solved. Now, although you have His Majesty's secret target, I feel that you still lack one of the most important things.

Important stuff."

Hearing Longkodo asking about his thoughts, the attendant also had a smile on his face.

He has been with Longkodo for more than ten years, and he is considered a good person, and he often gives advice to Longkodo.

Listening to the attendant's words, Long Keduo couldn't help but sit upright: "What is it?"

"In the past, Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes. Isn't that what you are missing now..."

After hearing this, Longkodo's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he suddenly stood up with excitement on his face.

Yes, why didn’t I think of it?

Now that the capital is in chaos, Yongzheng must have been poisoned by the other party with a high probability, so why not just appoint a new king to inherit the throne?

"But...I don't have a suitable candidate now."

After being excited for a while, a look of regret suddenly appeared on Longkodo's face. This time he came out without any people of royal blood beside him. Those people were all in the hands of the capital, that is, the Taiping Army.

"Are you confused, sir? You don't have it, but the Taiping Army does. Now we also have many hidden dangers and don't want to start a war, so we might as well talk to the other party. If the other party is willing to hand over those people, we can sign a treaty

What do you think about mutual non-aggression?

Anyway, those people are basically indispensable to the Taiping Army, and they won’t suffer any loss if they are given to us. If we can just let us withdraw our troops, then maybe we can achieve more with one stone."

Hearing Longkodo's worries, the attendant also reminded him at this time.

"Wonderful, wonderful! I didn't even expect that Zihua, you have helped me a lot..."

The words of the attendant were like an enlightenment for Longkodo. He didn’t have it in his hands, but the Taiping Army did. When the time comes, just ask for someone with royal blood to come over, and maybe he can still get it.

Returning to some other people, such as the concubines in the harem... He has been coveting the sister of Gengyao during the New Year for a long time!
