Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 490 What I want is not just Chang'an City, but also the hearts of the people

How many years is the Xianyang Ranger of Xinfeng Meijiu fighting for ten thousand.

Meeting the spirit of the king is the king's drink, which is the side of the weeping willow of the horse tall building.

Born as an official Han Habayashiro, he first followed the hussars to fight Yuyang.

Who knows that if you don't suffer from the side court, you will still hear the fragrance of chivalrous bones even if you die.

Xinfeng County to the east of Chang'an, it is said that in order to ease the homesickness of his father Liu Taigong, Liu Bang sent people to the east of Chang'an to recreate a Huai Shangfeng County, so it was called Xinfeng County.

Xinfeng County is the east gate to Chang'an. The Hongmen banquet where Xiang Yu hosted Han Gaozu was at the foot of Lishan Mountain in the south of the county.

This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the land is fertile. It is a treasure land in Guanzhong.

The person who sang Xinfeng Wine Dou Shiqian was a white face like jade, wearing a small crown and a purple brocade robe. He looked tall, but he could tell from his voice that he was underage.

The boy pretended to wear a short knife on his waist, and held a short bow that fit his stature in his hand.

His singing caused commotion in the grass on the side of the road. A rabbit that had just recovered from the cold winter was frightened and ran away in a hurry.

"Xiao Langjun, there are rabbits!"

Beside him, a tall and strong young general who looked young but had begun to grow a beard pointed at the rabbit and shouted loudly.

The young man quickly took out an arrow from his waist, which was almost as long as others, and he just drew the bow, but suddenly let it go.

"That's all! That's all! It's good fortune for this rabbit to survive such a cold winter. I don't lack these three ounces of meat, so why kill it."

"Xiao Langjun is benevolent and righteous, with the style of an adult."

The young bearded general stared at the fleeing rabbit, and twitched his fingers lightly twice, looking like he really wanted to draw his bow to shoot, but he was still flattering.

The young man looked at the young general helplessly, "Fifth brother, if you always talk like this, then we really can't talk."

The young general who was called Fifth Brother by the boy touched the crest on his head and smiled.

"Okay! Okay! Then I'll call you Brother Zhun instead of Xiaolangjun. Since you don't want to shoot rabbits, let's go quickly."

Brother Zhun is Zhang Zhao's eldest son, Zhang Xiancun. Before that, his mother Li Ruoliu named him Li Zhun, so in Liang, he is generally called Brother Zhun.

The very blunt flatterer was the youngest of Zhang Tianwang's five righteous sons, Yang Chonggui who just turned 12 years old this year.

In fact, his name is not Yang Chonggui now, but Yang Jiye.

And Yang Chonggui didn't know, why did his adoptive father Zhang Tianwang not let him change his surname to Zhang, but insisted on changing his name?
Inheritance?What business do you follow?Is his father Yang Hongxin that little governor of Linzhou?

Yang Jiye has long looked down on Yang Jiye. He is Mu Qiang's age, and Zhang Zhao adopted him as his adopted son. Of course, he would like to change his surname to Zhang.

Therefore, he has always been close to Zhang Xiancun, who is one year younger than him, and strives to show up more with his adoptive father Zhang Tianwang, so that he can complete the big event of changing his surname as soon as possible.

Zhang Xiancun watched the fifth elder brother Yang Jiye lose his mind again, so he let out a long sigh.

"Okay! Alright! There are indeed two sets of cloth-covered armor that my mother sent me. I'm not much different in stature, so I'll give you one set."

Yang Jiye was taken aback, it seemed that Zhang Xiancun had misunderstood, but he didn't point it out.

Mrs. Shanshan County ordered people to make two sets of cloth-faced iron armor with excellent defensive power and put them in front of the army, for fear that Zhang Xiancun would have any accidents.

No fighter on the battlefield dislikes this kind of armor. Although Yang Jiye is not yet old enough to gallop on the battlefield, he also likes it very much.
Immediately, he made a mistake and got Zhang Xian to keep a set of treasure armor, and happily went to the front to lead the way.

Zhang Xiancun watched Yang Jiye walk away happily, but he sighed in his heart.

Zhang Xiancun is very clear about what kind of person his father Zhang Zhao is.

Acting within the scope of his permission, Zhang Zhao is the best father in the world. When Zhang Xiancun was seven or eight years old, he even dared to climb on Zhang Zhao's shoulder to play.

Not to mention the emperor's family, it is unacceptable for ordinary rich and noble families, but with Zhang Zhao, there is no problem.

But if his actions exceed the atmosphere allowed by his father, such as asking his father why he didn't allow several righteous brothers to have the surname Zhang, that's something he can't ask.

In order to be quiet for a while, Zhang Xiancun could only choose to use the treasure armor sent by his mother to stop the mouth of the fifth brother Yang Jiye.

After crossing Xinfeng County, only a day and a half away, Zhang Xiancun soon found a convoy by the Wei River not far away.

This convoy carried the banner of the Messenger, but there was no banner to show where they came from.

Cheng Jielang from Zuo Yu Linwei took someone to make an appointment, and he came back and said to Zhang Xiancun with certainty: "It is indeed the convoy of the right servant She He Ning of the Jin Kingdom."

Zhang Xiancun nodded, straightened his robes, and rode his horse over.

It was Zhang Zhao's arrangement for him to pick up He Ning and the others.

Because with Zhang Zhao's status, he definitely wouldn't go to meet He Ning, but he had to send someone with weight to meet him.

The most important reason is that He Ning brought Tang Mingzong's concubine Hua Jianxiu who was in Luoyang, Tang Mingzong's only surviving son Xu Wang Li Congyi, and Mingzong's sixteenth daughter Princess Yong'an born to Wang Shufei to Guanzhong.

This and Ning left in a hurry, and when they took away Concubine Wang Shu, they used some force, so they frightened Concubine Wang Shu and Xu Wang Li Congyi.

Originally, in Henan Province of Xijing (Luoyang), they all tucked their tails and behaved cautiously, for fear of making Shi Chonggui unhappy.

As soon as He Ning came, without saying a word, he ordered the soldiers to set them up and ran all the way.

Concubine Wang Shu was born gorgeous, knowing that in this troubled world, the beauty of a woman is the source of disaster, she thought that He Ning's temperament had changed drastically, she didn't know what she was going to do after kidnapping them, she wanted to commit suicide several times, but she gave up because she didn't have the courage.

However, there is no courage to commit suicide, but it is still possible to be sick.

Because of this journey, the concubine Wang Shu, who is known as the shame of flowers, is so sick that she can hardly walk. Li Congyi, who is 13 years old, sees her adoptive mother scared like this, and she is also terrified day by day, and she is in a state of panic all day long.

He Ning had no choice but to send a knight to inform Zhang Zhao again, asking him to send someone to appease them, and don't scare the mother and son to death before Chang'an.

"But Aunt Wang, Brother Yi and Sixteen Niang are here, and my nephew came to see her."

Murong Xinchang married Princess Yongle, the fifteenth daughter of Emperor Mingzong Li Siyuan of the later Tang Dynasty. When Princess Yongle's mother was alive, she and Concubine Wang Shu were called sisters, so she could be called Concubine Wang Shu as an aunt.

So Zhang Xiancun simply followed Murong Nobunaga and called Concubine Wang Shu his aunt.

Hua Jianxiu was resting in the carriage. The weather had gotten warmer these few days, and she felt that she gradually gained some strength, but the panic had not gone away.

She and Li Congyi lived behind closed doors in Luoyang, afraid of contacting outsiders and making Shi Chonggui unhappy, so they didn't know Zhang Zhao at all.

From their point of view, Liangzhou is a land of tigers and wolves!

The Heavenly King of this land of tigers and wolves is probably also a terrifying strong man full of sheep.

No matter how He Ning explained it, she was extremely afraid of coming to Liangzhou.

It's just that she suddenly heard a very clear and clear child's voice, still calling her aunt, and felt strange.

So he quickly opened the curtain of the carriage to look out, and Princess Yong'an, who had just woken up, poked her head out from behind the curtain.

Outside the carriage, a young man with a tall and straight figure and a face like a crown jade stood tall.

The young man behaved decently, with a bright smile on his face, Hua Jianxiu felt the vigilance in his heart at first sight, and went away immediately.

At this moment, two beautiful heads protruded from the window of the carriage.

The same fair complexion and delicate face, the older one has a temperament that I still feel sorry for, and the young one is elegant and playful, as if they are curious about everything.

Zhang Xiancun, who was one year younger, was a little better, but Yang Jiye, who was already in love, was immediately dumbfounded.

"Who are you? Why do you call Aunt Nu an aunt?" Princess Yong'an asked the boy outside the carriage strangely.

'Ahem! Zhang Xiancun coughed as if to clear his throat, and stepped on Yang Jiye's instep with his feet without any trace.

"Fifth brother, you are engaged. If you look at it again, be careful that fourth brother beats you."

The fourth elder brother that Zhang Xiancun talked about was Zhe Deyuan, Yang Linggong, of course Zhang Zhao couldn't destroy his marriage, so he made an engagement with Zhe Taijun, who was still a little girl, early on.

When Yang Jiye heard Zhe Deyuan's name, he quickly returned to his soul.

Even though he is Zhe Deyuan's foster brother and brother-in-law, but there is no special treatment, but Zhe Deyuan beats him up, just so you don't have to be polite.

"This is Zhang Xiancun, the Heavenly King of Jinshan and Great Liang Kingdom in the Western Han Dynasty, and he is my father.

Hearing that my aunt and brother Yi were ill, my father dispatched my nephew with a famous doctor from Liangzhou to treat my aunt and brother Yi. "

"It turns out that Mr. Dalang is in person, please wait a moment."

Hua Jianxiu heard the sign on the opposite side, the little boy is the son of Zhang Zhao, the king of Liang Kingdom, and hurriedly asked the maid who followed to tidy her up, and then came out to meet Zhang Xiancun with courtesy.

After a while, the simple tidying up was over. Concubine Wang Shu and Princess Yong'an were wearing lavender Diyi long-sleeved ponchos, long skirts in Chu color, and a piece of flowers embroidered with patterns on their waists.

It looks graceful and elegant, and it just rightly shows the beauty of a woman's figure.

"Where is Fifteen Alang? Didn't he come to pick us up?"

Princess Yong'an asked tenderly, Princess Yong'an met her brother-in-law once when her fifteenth sister, Princess Yongle, married Murong Xinda.

The little princess was deeply impressed by this heroic and seemingly reliable brother-in-law.

It couldn't be seen in the carriage, but after getting out of the carriage, Zhang Xiancun was surprised to find that Princess Yong'an was about the same height as him, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a playfulness that couldn't be concealed in her elegant demeanor.

In Zhang Xiancun's opinion, this Princess Yong'an is more beautiful than her mother.

Huajianxiu's biological daughter is of course not low in appearance, but the little girl's life is not very good.

In history, Yelu Deguang heard that she was beautiful, so he specially summoned Princess Yong'an to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, as compensation for not making Zhao Yanshou the emperor, and married the widowed Zhao Yanshou.

After marrying his brother-in-law in his 15s at the age of [-] years old, Zhao Yanshou was imprisoned and killed by the successor Liao Shizong Yelu Ruan within less than a year of marriage, and Princess Yong'an was also missing.

Zhang Xiancun averted his gaze a little, and after thinking for a while, he realized who the fifteen Alang that Princess Yong'an was talking about was.

He smiled faintly, and said to Princess Yong'an: "My brother Nobunaga is still in the army, so he couldn't come, but he asked someone to bring a small gift to the princess."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiancun handed over the small pouch in his hand, and Princess Yong'an took it and opened it, and it turned out to be a pearl emitting soft light.

She snorted, and took out a pouch from her waist, which also contained a pearl of the same size, color and shape.

The pearl in the purse at her waist was given to her by her elder sister, Princess Yongle, when she attended the wedding.

At that time, there were two pearls of the same size, Princess Yongle gave her one, and said that she would give her the second when she came out of the cabinet.

Princess Yong'an had been envious for a long time, and she recognized it immediately. This pearl was the one that Princess Yongle said she would give to her when she was about to leave the court.

"Mother, let me tell you that it was the fifteenth sister who knew that we were suffering in Luoyang, and asked the Heavenly King to send someone to take us to Liangzhou to live a good life. You still don't believe it, believe it now!"

Princess Yong'an wrinkled her little nose, and immediately smiled.

Seeing Zhang Xiancun being polite and courteous, with a jade-like face, Hua Jianxi felt a lot more at ease. Hearing what Princess Yong'an said, a rare smile appeared on her face, and most of the heavy burden in her heart dissipated immediately.

And this is exactly the reason why Zhang Zhao sent Zhang Xiancun, Concubine Wang Shu and others, especially Xu Wang Li Congyi, he still has great uses, so they can't be frightened.

At this moment, He Ning came over with Li Congyi, and Zhang Xiancun immediately changed into another look. After saluting Concubine Wang Shu, he greeted her in three steps at a time.

"Boy Zhang Xiancun, pay homage to He Weng, He Weng has worked hard all the way, the Heavenly King and Fan Shilang are already in Baqiao, waiting for He Weng with a banquet." As he said that, Zhang Xiancun actually wanted to bow down.

He Ning was so frightened that he rushed over immediately, and helped Zhang Xiancun up before Zhang Xiancun reached the ground.

"The king of heaven actually sent his husband here, how can a person in a hurry bear the burden?"

Zhang Xiancun took the opportunity to hold He Ning's hand, then let go of it and took a few steps back, and made another salute that He Ning could accept.

"He Weng abandoned his family and business, and came from Tokyo regardless of his life to save the common people in the world. How can he not afford it?"

"The northern captives have invaded the country. In the world, only the king of heaven can expel the barbarians and save the people from the fire and water. It's nothing to do with someone."

Satisfied, He Ning helped Zhang Xiancun up, even a teenager can do this.

It seems that Zhang Tianwang often staged such scenes on weekdays. Only by precepts and deeds can such effects be achieved.

This kind of performance, although it looks fake, is the most intuitive expression.

A king who is willing to perform this kind of thirst for talent and respect for talents with the people below is really likely to be a king worth relying on.

After the ceremony between the two, Zhang Xiancun stepped forward again.

"This is brother Yi, right? The seventh grandparent of a certain family is the emperor of the Great Dynasty, so he and his elder brother have the same clan friendship."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiancun went to hold Li Congyi's arm again, looking extremely affectionate.

Li Congyi was standing behind him in fear, but when he heard what Zhang Xiancun said, he also had a look of surprise on his face.

The two teenagers of similar age pulled into the distance immediately, and the worry on Li Congyi's face was no longer so obvious.

In just ten minutes, the quality Zhang Xiancun showed immediately dispelled the fear of Concubine Wang Shu and Li Congyi, and was highly praised by He Ning.

The group of people immediately speeded up and started heading towards Chang'an.

. . . .

Baqiao is located on the Bashui River, which is one of the eight rivers around Chang'an.

After Zhang Zhao captured Tongguan and guarded Fenglingdu, he ordered Yin Yaozi to gather an army to rush to repair Tongguan.

Yin Yaozi ordered Luo Yu'er to lead [-] elite troops to capture Hangu Pass east of Tongguan Pass and completely block the passage into the pass.

After doing this, Zhang Zhao led the main force of [-] troops back to Baqiao, and Yan Jin led [-] troops to Xianyang.

None of them were going to enter the city, and even Zhang Zhao didn't let his subordinate You Yiqi approach Chang'an, because Zhang Zhao was waiting for an opportunity.

According to the situation at this time, since the army of Liang State was invited by Jin Zhu Shi Chonggui, they should go to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo without stopping, instead of entering Chang'an the other way around.

At the same time, compared to the tragedies in Huazhou and Yaozhou, the people of Chang'an suffered the least impact from the natural and man-made disasters that swept across most of Jin.

Because An Yanwei, the Jiedu envoy of the Jinchang Army who guarded Chang'an, was considered a clear stream among the votes of Jiedu envoys in the Later Jin Dynasty at this time.

This person has average abilities, but he is not greedy or violent, and he is very disciplined in doing things.

When floods and droughts swept across Chang'an, he should have opened warehouses to release grain, so he opened warehouses to release grain.When it’s time to fight hoarding, it’s time to fight hoarding.

In addition, after the development of Chang'an in these years, the water conservancy projects in nearby Wugong, Xinfeng, Wannian and other counties have recovered a lot.

Under the governance of An Yanwei, the residents of Chang'an barely escaped the disaster.

Therefore, they did not yearn for Zhang Zhao and the army of Liang State as much as the ravaged people of Huazhou, Yaozhou, Jingzhou, and Fengxiang Mansion, but were a little afraid.

You must know that at this time, the quality of the army is hard to describe in one word. Although Liang Guo is much better than other armies, the people are still quite afraid.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao was going to wait for a while, waiting for a chance for the Lord of Chang'an to invite him into the city.

This opportunity was the news that Yelu Deguang had entered Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo.

. . . .

At the beginning of March, when Zhang Zhao was invited to lead the army into Guanzhong, Zhang Yanze ruined the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo.

Yelu Deguang finally led an army of [-] across the Yellow River and arrived in Kaifeng, Tokyo. Shi Chonggui came out in white clothes and hats.

Before surrendering, Shi Chonggui also invited Empress Dowager Li to go out to meet Yelu Deguang together, because he was afraid of angering the Khitan grandfather and risking his life.

However, Empress Dowager Li had already made a desperate move. She rejected Shi Chonggui's request and insisted on not leaving the palace.

Shi Chonggui had no choice but to surrender by himself.

When Yelu Deguang met, he first scolded Shi Chonggui for being ungrateful, and then abolished Shi Chonggui as the emperor of Jin.

He was demoted to inspector Taiwei, Doctor Guanglu, and granted the title of Marquis of Negative Justice, and the fiefdom was in the extremely remote Huanglong Mansion of Bohai Kingdom, which is around the city of Changchun in the later generations, and he was ordered to set off immediately.

After escorting Shi Chonggui to the north, Yelude Guangjiu occupied the magpie's nest and settled in the Daning Palace of the Later Jin Dynasty.

However, the section of road from Fengqiu Gate to Daning Palace directly shocked Yelu Deguang.

The houses were dilapidated, and there were traces of looting and burning everywhere, and the shops along the street were not spared. In the north and south of the city, there were still fires everywhere.

In the busiest main avenues, there was not even any food left for rats.

This Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo has almost become a city without oil and water!

Brother Guang was shocked, what about playing?I have worked so hard, but I have an empty city?
After thinking for a while, Yelu Deguang suddenly asked a group of civil servants of Jin State.

"Where's Sangguo Bridge? I'm waiting for my old friend to go south, and he won't come out to meet him?"

The civil servants of the Jin Kingdom who followed Shi Chonggui out of the crowd suddenly had strange expressions on their faces.

Because three days before Yelu Deguang's arrival, Zhang Yanze killed Sang Weihan directly in order to seize the embezzled property of Sang Weihan. Even they didn't know the news until earlier today.

Standing beside Yelu Deguang, Li Song was keenly aware of the meaning behind Yelu Deguang's question and the hesitation hidden in Yelu Deguang's eyes.

He immediately seized the opportunity to come out, kowtowed in front of Yelu Deguang and cried loudly.

"Reporting to the Son of Heaven, Sang Guoqiao has already been killed by Zhang Yanze, and all his wealth has been robbed by him."

All the civil servants of the Jin Kingdom were smart people, and immediately understood that this opportunity should not be missed. If Zhang Yanze continued to harm them, they would all suffer as well.

So everyone knelt down together, denouncing Zhang Yanze's brutal cruelty.

Feng Dao was even more successful. He shouted that Zhang Yanze plundered the city of Tokyo, accumulating more than 200,000 coins.

Yelude's eyes lit up when he heard it, yo ho!This is not good.

Killing Zhang Yanze will not only make the people angry, but also justifiably confiscate Zhang Yanze's looted property.

So he immediately ordered Zhang Yanze to be imprisoned. Afterwards, Yelu Deguang summoned the civil servants and generals of Jin State to discuss matters in Mingde Hall, and issued an edict to Sifangjie Town, asking them to come to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo to pay homage.

. . . .

On the edge of Chang'an City, Baqiao, after more than ten days of spreading, the news that the Khitan people destroyed the Jin Kingdom, the Liao Lord entered the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, and Zhang Yanze bloodbathed Tokyo came almost at the same time.

For this kind of thing, no one can empathize more than the residents of Chang'an.

The capital was trapped six times and the emperor escaped nine times. They felt the pain especially deeply.

Almost instantly, the residents of Chang'an were worried about their fate.

Immediately afterwards, an even more explosive news came. Due to the disaster in the Central Plains and the lack of food for the army, Khitan Lord Yelu Deguang planned to order Guanzhong, Shannan and Huainan to transfer 300,000 shi of grain and rice to supplement the military.

This is actually a pure rumor, but the people of Chang'an don't know, and no one dares to guarantee that Yelu Deguang will not do this in the future.

What's more, in their eyes, it's normal for the Khitan people to do this. How can there be robbers who enter the house but don't rob?

300,000 stones!
Guanzhong has just been hit by a disaster, and if it is really necessary to transfer 300,000 shi, at least [-]% of the people must starve to death.

So the terrified people of Chang'an finally lost their restraint, and they rushed out of the city one after another, demanding justice from King Liang.

But Zhang Zhao avoided seeing them, Guo Tiance and Fan Zhi stood in their way, and the excuses were the same.

That is, the Liang army originally came here to ask for help from the Jin lord, but now that the Jin lord has surrendered, the Liang army had no choice but to retreat.

This wasn't just a joke. Afterwards, Liang Guo's army actually started to make preparations before withdrawing.

This time, the entire city of Chang'an was blown up. Under the impetus of Li Shouling, an elder of the Li Tang clan who had already taken refuge in Zhang Zhao, Guo Zhao, a descendant of Guo Ziyi, and merchants from Chang'an, a large number of people spontaneously left the city and went to Liangguo beside Baqiao. Crying outside the barracks.

However, the time had not yet come, and Zhang Zhao still did not show up. The people of Chang'an did not see the legendary King of Great Liang, but instead they had a profound insight into the military appearance and discipline of the Liang army.

No looting, let alone burning and killing, and treating people and Yan Ruise well. Soldiers will be given money when they go out to drink and eat meat. It is an eye-opener for the people of Chang'an.

After Zhang Zhao entered Guanzhong last time, the residents of Qianxian County, Xianyang, Wugong and other places spread the word that the Liang army was a heavenly soldier and general, and the residents of Chang'an did not believe it.

They thought it was because people from Xianyang and Qianxian County were too ignorant, unlike their well-informed men in Chang'an who spread rumors.

But this time, after seeing it personally, Quan Chang'an was completely convinced, and they themselves began to spread that the Liang army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

On the third day, another news came that the only heir of Emperor Mingzong of the former Tang Dynasty, Xu Wang Li Congyi fled from the eastern capital Luoyang to Guanzhong, and was resting in the place where Liang Wang was staying.

For the banner of Datang, even if it is the later Tang Dynasty of Li Cunxu and Li Siyuan, the people of Chang'an still have somewhat different feelings.

As soon as Li Congyi arrived, the officials, gentry and wealthy households spontaneously found the eldest son of An Yanwei, who had just completed the funeral of An Yanwei, the military governor of the Jinchang Army, and begged him to take the lead.

The residents of the whole city also gathered a large amount of food, meat, fine wine, syrup and other items to reward the army, and selected those who were highly respected, and prepared to go to Baqiao together to welcome King Liang and King Xu into Chang'an City.

　The brain capacity is limited, and I can't always write the headache that the protagonist should have when entering Chang'an.
