Chapter 1308 Killing Liang Dog and Retiring the Rebel Army
Shi Zhongtang retreated slowly with the army.

He Zun sent him outside the camp and said, "You just have to go."

"If this matter fails, we will withdraw and manage the south."

Up to now, although the morale of the rebel army is still strong, they can only look at Jiaguguan with sighs.

If it is attacked for a long time, the hinterland will be empty.There will be riots in those states and counties from time to time, but the scale is not large at the moment.Once it is swept up, it can cut off the food supply of his army.

Therefore, the rebels can't afford it.

"Retire to the south to recuperate and watch Li Xuan and Chang'an fight." He Zun said: "Although this arrangement is not bad, but the old man thinks that Li Xuan should not be given a chance."

"That man has been fighting for many years. To be honest, I fear him more than Chang'an." Shi Zhongtang said, "However, now I have hundreds of thousands of tiger and wolf troops in my hands. If Jiagu Pass were not in front of us, Chang'an would have already been broken. He Come, I will wait for him."

"The country must be unified in the hands of the Duke!" He Zun's eyes sparkled, and he admired Shi Zhongtang's courage to control the overall situation.

Shi Zhongtang led his army away.

Then, Zhang Ling made his fortune.

More than ten miles away from Jiagu Pass, Shi Zhongtang led his army to camp.

"Our army has already broken through Jianzhou, but the Northern Border Army is still attacking Zhangzhou, and there will be Xiongzhou next. At this moment, Li Xuan is only thinking about how to break into Guanzhong one step earlier than our army, and if he dares Come, just as the Duke said, then wait for him."

The emperor said: "The common people are still loyal, but the officials are in a state of uncertainty. Today's court meeting, many courtiers are thinking about their own well-being, but disregarding the overall situation. I coughed twice, but no one responded."

"Yes! It's just that the old man is thinking, if that King Qin..."

"pity……"

This is true.

"It's easy to talk about the faint king, what do you mean by a prodigal son?"

Dou Zhong said quietly: "This is the emperor's family business, so don't interfere."

Damn Nima!

"However, all of this is speculation." Zheng Yuandong warned.

The emperor looked calm, but his heart was overwhelmed.

……

"Duke, there is still no movement after closing the door."

Pingkangfang was very lively at night, the emperor and his party went into a restaurant and asked for a room.

He got up and paced, faster and faster.

Some courtiers even laughed at the colleagues who supported the battle, "But there is no alcohol at home? Just say, I will give you a hundred catties later, and drink together to watch the fun."

Is that so?
Zheng Yuandong thought of King Yong and King Zhen.

"Damn it, Matteo respects the old dog!"

Several servants all wanted to 'show their skills', and spoke out one after another to point out the situation of the battle.

……

The emperor's rare outburst of foul language.

Evil young can also be phase?

Shi Zhongtang looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, "Could Li Mi be so patient?"

Zheng Yuandong watched coldly, thinking that if it was more than a hundred years ago, it would be no different, no matter how many people the opponent had, he would switch to fight.

"Yes, everyone betrayed relatives."

Han Shitou didn't know whether this was the illusion of the false emperor or the real thing.

There were people drinking on both sides.

"Hmm!" Liang Jing was taken aback, "Where did you say that?"

……

That one, now there are many people like dragons, unfortunately, we met too late.

the emperor asked lightly.

Dou Zhong remained expressionless.

He thought of Li Xuan again.

Speaking out makes the world laugh out loud.

Han Shitou sighed, "Your Majesty is naturally wise and powerful in the eyes of slaves, but those people must use money and food to feed them. Now that the Guanzhong is separated, the money and food in the court are getting less and less... Once they feel hungry, they will go to find it. New owner."

In fact, there is not much he can control now.

This was unimaginable in the past.

This is an idea from a strategic level.

The emperor's eyes became more stern, "The head of the state looked on coldly, and his group were all sneering. Chen Shen didn't say a word, obviously not wanting to stir up trouble. Liang Jing jumped three feet high, but it's useless."

He didn't make a move.

"Many people at Jiaguguan heard it. Dou Zhong discussed with others and said that the reason for the rebel army was the Qing emperor's side, that is, to kill the minister and the concubine. If Dou Zhong killed the minister and the concubine, the rebels would have no righteousness. Fame will surely collapse without a fight."

He further thought about the root cause of the collective dissatisfaction of the Northern Border Army by the dignitaries of Chang'an, whether it was because the Northern Border Army often fought.

But, when did my reputation become so unbearable?

Liang Jing was furious, "I intercepted the batch of weapons that I just sent. He is not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

Han Shitou will go out of the palace to stay overnight every few days, so he knows better.

Brother and sister Liang Jing have recently become traitors in Chang'an's population.

"When morale drops, if the rebels dare to stay, our army can ride out lightly and defeat them in one fell swoop."

The noble concubine in the palace didn't feel anything yet, but Liang Jing outside the palace had already endured too much pressure.

"Shi Zhongtang withdrew his army, most likely due to an uprising in the southern region. Besides, the northern border army is not a small threat, and he even divided his troops to defend Lizhou."

Bah!
Someone next door slapped the desk, "Shi Ni is attacking Jiagu Pass in the south, and Yang Ni is attacking Zhangzhou in the north. This world is in extreme chaos."

Liang Jing became furious, and scolded: "Who doesn't know that is just an excuse? The old dog uses this as an excuse to attack Lao Tzu. What is this trying to do?"

However, he is surrounded by confidantes, so Dou Zhong is not worried about leaking secrets.

He hesitated for a moment, "They all say that His Majesty is wise and mighty."

If the world is peaceful, then even if the emperor appoints a dog as the prime minister, the people in the world will at best take it as a joke.

"Emperor Xuande and Emperor Wu left a good situation. The father and son came to power one after another. They didn't do anything else, but specifically to tear down the stage. Look, how many officials in the period of Emperor Xuande and Emperor Wu were cleaned by their father and son? How many famous generals... Let's just talk about Pei Jiu! If he was here, how could Beiliao be in trouble? But such a loyal general was forced to death by their father and son!"

This is the easiest place for public opinion to ferment.

To be honest, Dou Zhong felt that he was right.

Someone beside him said, "Mr. He, the Northern Xinjiang Army won't call, will they?"

Just because you couldn't control your crotch, you brought disaster to your daughter-in-law.Let the scourge be the scourge!Anyway, everyone in the world knows that you have a good appetite.But you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't have brought up a bad young man and angered the Southern Border Army.

"I still have to bear it."

"That one is still enjoying himself! I heard that he still enjoys singing, dancing and having fun with the concubine every day, and he still claims to be a prosperous age, wise and powerful."

"Everyone betrays relatives!"

The food outside tastes good!

Whatever it is, it's something to be happy about.

"Those are just foreign thieves, now... Everyone in Jianyun Temple knows it!"

The emperor was terrified, "Shitou's words reminded me that the integrity of those courtiers is not even comparable to that of prostitutes. They must be secretly communicating with the two rebels."

They went to Pingkang Square in plain clothes.

These dignitaries are short of sticking a note saying 'I love Taiping' on their foreheads.

But now most of the courtiers have softened their bones and only want to be safe.

These words even encircled the emperor.

"Two armies of rebels approached the city, and the hearts of the officials were fluctuating. Chang Sheng's conspiracy made the situation worse. How many people thought that I couldn't stand up, and thought that I was powerless to control the world!"

So what if you, Dou Zhong, are a veteran?
Still less than a eunuch.

He glanced at Zhang Ling on the other side.

Back in the harem, he asked Han Shitou, "Shitou, what do you say about me now?"

"Yes."

But when the world is turbulent, these mistakes will be magnified by the people of the world.

"The downfall of Emperor Xiao Jing back then was a bit unclear..."

"What will you use to frighten the world?"

The rebel army, less than [-] people, clamored outside the pass, scolding the eighteen generations of Dou Zhong's ancestors all over the place.

Kill the beam dog, retreat the rebels!

Zheng Yuandong said: "It's not that I'm afraid, but that the rebels can't do anything without going to war."

But if a servant wants to supervise the army, he must understand military affairs.Where can a group of birdless men learn the art of war in the palace?
Therefore, the supervisors were a little timid.

But these are just complaints, and Dou Zhong is already discussing.

Zhang Ling thus became a celebrity in the palace.

"Jiaguguan...go to battle." The emperor shook his head, "No, it's best to stick to it."

Damn!

"You say they are vulnerable, and so they must be."

"Get out of the palace!"

Many people expressed their support.

"Yes! If Liang Jing is executed, the rebels will have no excuse."

He even took the imperial concubine with him.

"Great General, the so-called name is justified, and the rebel army has been able to sweep so far. The old man thought that he had a close relationship with Chang'an."

"Your Majesty's most trusted place outside Fang, Chang Sheng has been a dragon for many years and was named a real person. But this is the one who actually rebelled. Everyone, what is the sign?"

The most mainstream view is: Let's guard Guanzhong well, wouldn't it be better to watch the two rebels fight each other?

An aide stroked his beard and said: "Liang Jing is just an evil young man in Sichuan, but he became a prime minister because of his younger sister's favor. To be honest, everyone in the market is saying that it is better to have a daughter than to have a son. And the prime minister of a country, how can he be lucky?" Enter? Therefore, the rebel army played the banner of the Qing emperor, and although everyone in the world is shouting and beating, secretly, there may be no idea of ​​​​approval."

Then, he was slapped all over the floor by Li Xuan's backhand.

"Forbearance? You go to the market to ask now, ask those people what they think of His Majesty, and [-]% of them will say that he is a fool and a prodigal."

Last time when he set up an ambush to ambush Li Xuan, he was greedy for a moment, wanting to involve the Northern Xinjiang army.But at that time, Zhang Ling was extremely calm, saying that he would accept it when he saw it, and act quickly!

"how?"

The noble concubine Liang is the reincarnation of a vixen, and the right minister Liang Jing is the reincarnation of a treacherous minister. In a word, the old Liang family has been passed down for three generations, and they all went to the treacherous minister.

There is a lot of market for these words in Chang'an City!

"It's a prodigal son, but the old man feels that this word still doesn't mean much."

The emperor paced back and forth.

"Wonderful! This word is excellent, just for him."

"... To be honest, with the hard work of their father and son, Datang has survived for more than ten years, which shows that the family is strong."

"Hongyan, drink." The emperor was in a good mood.

He Zun was full of confidence, and when he returned to Guanxia, ​​he ordered, "Show off your might."

The dignitaries are the backbone of Datang. When this backbone is broken, any high hopes for Datang are foolish.

……

"That Wenzhiwugong has been verified in northern Xinjiang, and he can be called the Lord of Britain."

Before Li Mi, it was rare for servants in the palace to go out to supervise the army.Following Shi Zhongtang's rebellion, the civil servants and supervisors were gradually unable to satisfy the emperor's jealous heart, so the servant came on stage.

The imperial concubine also hadn't left the palace for a long time, so she was quite excited.

Suddenly, the emperor stopped, "Suppression is impossible, there are too many people, and rash suppression will trigger a rebound."

In the court hall, Zhang Huan looked at the dying and remained silent, while Zheng Yuandong was analyzing the battle situation.

Han Shitou was full of anger. Just as he was about to go out, the emperor coughed dryly, "Drink."

One pretends to be weak, and the other pretends to be firm.

At this moment, Zhang Ling was talking loudly to the accompanying servants, and when he mentioned the rebels under the pass, he said dismissively: "We are vulnerable."

"No." Someone said in a low voice: "My lord, many people in Chang'an City also said the same."

Someone asked: "But our army is approaching 20 troops at Jiaguguan, are we still afraid of the rebels?"

This is a restaurant. Once it is done, public opinion will be fermented in the future.

"Only deterrence."

"Win the monkey and get crowned!"

The emperor dismissed the ministers noncommittally.

"What word do you think is good?"

"People in the world have already seen that he is a foolish king. They have endured him for many years, and now there is no need to bear it."

The emperor wanted to go out of the palace after a long absence.

Dou Zhong said coldly: "A fluke made him feel ecstatic, which shows that the palace is less prudent."

When he was a little tipsy, someone said: "Master, I heard that Dou Zhong wants to kill Mr.

But the rise of Zhang Ling made them see hope.

"is it?"

The point is that the rebels raised their troops for this reason, so people all over the world can't help but be angry.

After Liang Jing returned home, he summoned the civil and military under his command to drink and discuss matters.

The biggest reliance is the army in the hands of Dou Zhong.

The emperor couldn't pretend anymore, got up and said, "Go back!"

Back in the palace, the emperor had a sullen face, "In the current situation, it's impossible to stay still."

He didn't expect that he was so unbearable in the eyes of the people in the world. If he ignored it, he would become a king of subjugation in a short time.

When the emperor lost his prestige, he was even worse than a dog!
"Hurry up and ask Dou Zhong, we may send troops!"
