Yin Sunkui of Jingzhao entered Chang'an with more than a thousand men.
He had previously served as the military envoy for the Western Expedition and was extremely busy. After the battle of Changwucheng, the king's army was defeated and he, the governor, was irreversible, so he rode back to Chang'an.
Ding Zhuang was recruited from Chang'an and Wannian counties. They were equipped with armor, swords and guns, and they looked the same.
The situation was urgent, and Sun Kui didn't care about offending this or that. He entered Chang'an first and protected the saint.
He has been a Jingzhaoyin for several years, and he is not just hanging around. In fact, he has met a lot of people. Especially those young people who are running rampant in the countryside. They have always been his key targets in the past, but now they have all been recruited and organized into one capital.
Enter the city quickly to escort you.
If necessary, they may even take the emperor to relocate and first visit Huazhou eastward.
The people in Chang'an City didn't know yet, but the senior officials had already received the news from the palace in advance, so they all prepared their carriages and horses, and headed to Sanyuan, north of Jingzhao Mansion, with large and small bags, where Fu Ping and others took refuge.
Some people also ran to Lantian County in the south, which was close to the mountains and easy to avoid chaos.
As soon as they ran away, the news couldn't be concealed, and it soon spread throughout the city at a surprising speed.
By September 25th, as more and more news came back, most of the people finally knew: Shence's army was defeated in Jingzhou, the entire army collapsed, and the Jing division had marched towards Chang'an, hoping to raise an army to hold the army accountable.
The city suddenly became chaotic.
That night, many young people in the city covered their faces, armed with sharp knives, violated the curfew order, took to the streets, set fire to and looted.
These people robbed Chao's army together after they entered Chang'an.
After the army recaptured Chang'an, they continued to rob.
How can we say that they are good? Maybe the rogues are too young, they are born thieves.
In peace and prosperity, people are in panic.
Zhao Guangyi returned to Jinzouyuan with a gloomy look on his face.
However, after I went out for a walk and inquired about the situation, I was overwhelmed by the panicked crowd and had to flee back hastily.
There are more than a hundred well-equipped warriors in Jinzouyuan, all of whom were the guards of Datong Horse Company in those days.
After the branches in Guandong were closed one after another, most of them turned to the Hezhong, Guanzhong, and Sanchuan areas, and a small number of them were stationed in Chang'an. While protecting the horse business, some of them were also assigned to Jinzouyuan to serve as guards.
"Mr. Zhao, I don't think you should go out in the next few days. Let's lock the door and leave only a corner door for entry and exit, and wait for the situation to subside." Liu Sandou stepped forward and suggested.
He has been in Chang'an for a long time and has heard a lot about the "Floating Boys" who are famous throughout the city.
These people are indeed a nuisance, but there is nothing to worry about.
The more than a hundred samurai who entered the memorial hall may all be "uncle" or "uncle" in their forties, but they have sophisticated equipment and rich experience in battle formations. They are comparable to those rogues who only dare to fight bravely and do not dare to fight desperately.
The scoundrel is much stronger.
With them guarding you, you can go to the memorial hall without any worries. But if you go out often, there will inevitably be some mistakes.
"Don't lock it." Zhao Guangyi stretched out his hand to stop it and said: "The saint has already issued an edict to King Qin. Calculating the time, the commander's vanguard is coming soon. We may need our help to find out the news. In addition, the court may also have something to ask for.
Come."
There were shouts and curses again on the street outside the door.
Liu Sandou looked serious and ordered: "From now on, the two teams will take turns guarding and must not slack off."
"As commanded."
"If the neighbors are in trouble, try to help if you can." Zhao Guangyi added.
Well, the neighborhood seems to be mainly composed of brothel girls...
Sun Kui led more than a thousand heroic young men along the way.
The Jingyuan army rebelled again! He was filled with helplessness.
During the Dezong Dynasty, the Huijing Yuan Army engaged in a mutiny, namely the Chanshui Mutiny.
Yao Lingyan, who was born in the Anxi Army, led five thousand sergeants eastward to quell the rebellion. As a result, the court only provided simple meals and no rewards. The big-headed soldiers became angry and beat drums to gather the crowd. Yao Lingyan who stopped them was forked out with a long sword and left Chan.
The water returned to Chang'an.
The emperor hurriedly sent his lieutenants to appease him and reward him with silk. When the sergeants heard this, they were rewarded with two bolts of silk each. They were even more furious. The envoy who went to convey the order was shot by an arrow and fled, and Chang'an was captured.
, the saint ran away to worship heaven.
The Jingyuan Army never stopped!
The heroic young man from Ji County was indeed a better fighter than the thugs in the capital. After killing two groups of people along the way, Sun Kui arrived at the Daming Palace.
Where had all the Shence Army gone? He was a little surprised.
Even if the main force has been destroyed in Jingzhou, there are still at least ten thousand soldiers in the city! Why didn't we see a few along the way?
"Shijun Sun."
"Kong Xiang."
Sun Kui met the prime minister Kong Wei in front of the Daming Palace. The two looked at each other and sighed.
Sun Kui and Zhang Jun were very close, and Kong Wei knew it.
During this Western Expedition, Sun Kui served as the military envoy. Although he was not responsible for the defeat of Wang's division, if he was really investigated carefully, he might suffer some consequences.
But why wasn’t he the same? Kong Wei sighed, he also supported the Western Expedition.
"Prime Minister Du has left the capital with one hundred thousand bolts of silk. Zhang Jun was demoted as the governor of Lianzhou. The sage said that he did not need to return to the capital and went straight to his post." Kong Wei looked at the cloudy sky and said: "
However, the rebel army did not stop and was still rushing towards the capital. Five days ago, Commander Li Yanling rushed to report that the Jingyuan army was about to attack Pizhou. He led eight thousand soldiers to form an array. The thieves were frightened and ran away to Yongshou County.
Go in the direction."
"Yongshou..." Sun Kui recalled carefully.
Yongshou is ninety miles away from Pizhou and fifty miles southeast of Yongshou, which is Fengtian County, where Dezong went on his hunting tour.
After Fengtian, it is forty miles to Liquan, and then eighty miles to Xianyang. Xianyang is only forty miles away from Chang'an.
The journey of three hundred miles, considering the urgent mood of the Jingyuan Army, actually didn't take long.
"Where are the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all walks of life?" Sun Kui suddenly asked.
He is self-aware that the thousands of heroic young men under his command can scare people, but if they really go into battle and fight, the Jingyuan army only needs to send two to three hundred sergeants to form a formation to fight, and they will be defeated.
The only ones who can deal with the Jingyuan Army are the soldiers and horses of the feudal town.
"The saint has sent envoys to Tongzhou and Huazhou to urge Hao Zhenwei and Wang Bian to lead their troops to aid the capital. Whoever can serve the king this time will be awarded the title of envoy to the national army, Tongguan defense and capture envoy, and leader
Same as the two states of China."
Sun Kui was shocked when he heard this. There is something wrong with this!
Hao and Wang, no matter who becomes the governor of the Zhenguo Army, one of them must lose power. Can he be willing to do so?
If they make a rebellion on the spot, wouldn't it be more dangerous than the Jingyuan army still far to the west?
Who came up with this idea? Or was it the idea of the saint himself?
"The sage also sent an envoy to Jinzhou to announce the decree, and promoted the defense envoy of Jinzhou and Shangdu to Jiedu envoy, and ordered Li Xiang to immediately send his troops north to King Qin."
This is somewhat reliable, but I am afraid that water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness. Sun Kui looked at Kong Wei and continued to wait for him to continue. Both of them understood that the most important event had not yet appeared.
"The envoy has gone to Yanzhou and ordered Shuo Fang's troops to come in for reinforcements?" Kong Wei said.
"Isn't it Xiazhou? Why Yanzhou?" Sun Kui was puzzled.
"Shao Shude has been stationed in Yanzhou for many days."
"This thief!" Sun Kui cursed angrily.
"There were also people from Shannan West Road, Fengxiang, Hezhong, Shaanxi and Guo towns to spread the message."
In Hezhong, will Wang and his son from Shaanxi and Guo really come? Sun Kui is not optimistic.
Xingyuan and Fengxiang towns are home to the Shao clan's followers, and they are far to the west. It will be difficult for them to enter the capital and Qin Wang, but the possibility of taking advantage of the opportunity to attack Jingyuan is very high.
Shuofang Town may even send troops from the Yanning and Huizhou areas to attack the three Jingyuan prefectures.
It is impossible for the Jingyuan Army to have no troops left behind, but it should be very few. Most of them are in a hurry to come to Chang'an and have no sense at all.
Alas, no matter whether the rebels can be put down this time, Jingyuan Town is gone. Why bother? It caused such a big mess, and in the end, the Shao thieves took advantage.
"What is the saint doing?" Sun Kui asked.
Seeing that the two of them had sympathy for each other, Kong Wei had talked to Sun Kui so far and didn't want to say more. But when he looked at the more than a thousand heroic young men behind him, he sighed secretly and said: "We are discussing with the Palace Supervisor Ximen.
Countermeasures.”

On the thoroughfare from Chang'an to the Zhenwu Army, the cavalry army, which had added extra horses, stopped.
The army had five thousand soldiers, five thousand auxiliaries, and originally had 20,000 horses. Shao Shude specially ordered to transfer 10,000 horses from the Flying Bear Army to temporarily strengthen the cavalry army and order it to rush to the vicinity of Chang'an.
The Flying Bear Army lost more than a thousand people in the battle with the Hedong cavalry. The Hexi shogunate sent an order to Ganzhou a while ago to recruit new soldiers from the Uighur, Sogdian, Longjia, Tubo, Tatar and other tribes to complete the establishment - new soldiers.
In principle, auxiliary troops are recruited, and elite soldiers are selected from the auxiliary troops to supplement the shortage of combat troops.
After the horses were drafted, the silver spearmen became pike infantry and could only move with the large army.
The cavalry army, on the other hand, advanced all the way. Starting from its base in Ganquan County, it took only three days to arrive at Sanyuan County, Jingzhao Prefecture.
About one hundred and ten miles south of the county, you can reach Zhongwei Bridge, and another twenty miles across the river is Chang'an. For the cavalry army with one man and three horses, this distance is nothing.
News has come from Pizhou that on September 24th, Jingyuan's army passed by Pizhou and wanted to attack the city. Later, when they saw that Pizhou's army was waiting in tight formation, they decided that fighting to the death was not worth it, so they gave up.
Marshal Li Yanling sent them a batch of military rations, and Master Jing accepted them and left in a hurry. Both parties tacitly completed a deal - after taking the rations, they quickly went to Chang'an to make a fortune without causing trouble.
After giving the order to set up camp, Oritsugu spread the map on the carpet and looked at it carefully.
The rebel army left Pizhou five days ago. Based on their marching speed, they should be at least 150 miles away from Chang'an. Most of them had just left Yongshou and entered Fengtian.
I really want to attack them! Yuuga Oritsugu stared at several locations on the map that were suitable for ambush.
Master Jing was eager to enter Chang'an to make a fortune. He also knew that King Qin's troops would come, but he must not have known that the cavalry army could arrive so quickly.
Regardless of whether you calculate with intention or not, the possibility of success is still very high.
However, if he helped the emperor defeat the rebel army so easily, would it have any impact on the commander-in-chief's plan?
The cavalry army can "act cheaply", which is a privilege promised by the commander himself, but Yutaka Oritsugu is not stupid and knows to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
The commander-in-chief had two main goals in going south this time, namely to devour the town of Jingyuan and the town of Weibei.
If the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves and defeated the Jingyuan army, then the saint issued an edict requiring the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang of each town to return to their own towns. Wouldn't it be a cocoon for themselves?
"Military envoy, there is a military order coming." The soldiers suddenly came to report.
Oritsugu took it and read it carefully twice. He couldn't help but ask, "Did the messenger say anything?"
"Never."
"Li Keyong is really good at choosing the right time." Oretsugu sighed.
On the other side of Daibei, Li Keyong personally led the army northward to confront the Youzhou and Datong coalition forces of more than 40,000 people.
Helianduo also brought tens of thousands of miscellaneous men from the grasslands to strengthen his momentum.
Li Keyong's purpose is obvious. He mainly defends in the south and moves his army northward. He first defeats the threat from the north that seems to be huge but is actually mostly a mob. Then he goes south to deal with Zhu Quanzhong.
This is a bit unexpected!
Moreover, if Li Keyong really succeeded, wouldn't the battle in the first half of the year be in vain?
Oritsugu Yu had a hunch that the Yinshan Camp that was disbanded a few months ago might exist for a long time.
