Chapter 816 Ye Ting Defeated
Zhang's bandit army made a detour, attacked Zezhou, cut off the fourth division's grain road, destroyed post stations, and blocked news.

The fourth division could not be contacted for more than ten days, which worried the empress dowager who was listening to the government behind the curtain.Send someone to contact Xian Wang, and send No.11 Division Ye Ting to cross the river to fight.

At this time, the No.13 Division stationed in Xiaopingjin had been taken away by King Kang. If the No.11 Division also withdrew, there would be no soldiers along the Yellow River.What if the bandit army suddenly went south?
Cao Yuzan ordered Jinwu General Zhao Yafu to lead Zuo Xiaoqi to garrison Xiaopingjin, and at the same time the Xian Wang sent Cao Renfeng to lead You Xiaoqi to garrison Mengjin.

Two thousand armored cavalry rushed to the eight passes.The passers-by exclaimed that something big is going to happen.Xiaoqi can't leave the city easily.The last time I went out of the city, I supported Zhang Yunlong in Zhengzhou when he was resisting the Sanhu.At that time, it was a battle for the survival of the dynasty, but now why rush out of the city?

The Yeting Department claims to be the most well-trained team in the Shence Army, and the speed of crossing the river has set a record for the Xuanjia Army.

After crossing the river, Yeting didn't stop, but he didn't go to Tianjing Pass. Instead, he made a dangerous move and brought out all [-] cavalrymen from the [-]th Division. They made a big detour, walked through Luze, crossed Mount Kai, and went around to the north of Zezhou City.At the same time, seven infantry regiments were allowed to pass through the Tianjing Pass, forming a north-south pincer attack with the cavalry, and they wanted to wipe out more than [-] Zhang Min's men in one battle.

In the words of Lao Huang: If you don't go on the right way, if you insist on playing tricks, you will end up messing up.

When Ye Ting passed by Huize, more than 300 horses got trapped, and when they crossed Mount Kai, they were exhausted.However, the infantry still launched a siege of Zezhou City, which was guarded by 3000 people, according to the original plan. The result can be imagined.

When the Liang army attacked the city, the bandit army rushed out from the flank.Without cavalry protection, the Liang army's siege troops suffered heavy losses.For three days and nights, they failed to take the city, but were wiped out by more than [-] people.

When Ye Ting came exhausted, Zhang Min led two thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry to encircle Ye Ting.After a great battle, Ye Ting fled in a panic and withdrew his troops from Tingjingguan.But Zhang Min gained a lot.

According to statistics after the war, Ye Ting went to the battle, but failed to solve the problem, but sent [-] horses, [-] prisoners, and countless food and grass to the bandit army.

When the battle report was sent back to the capital, there was an uproar in the government and the public, the wise king was furious, and sent eight hundred li to scold Ye Ting: your talent is worth nothing!
Urgently revoked Ye Ting Zhonglang's position, and summoned sixty-year-old veteran Hu Yanhe to re-enlist.The Xian Wang asked Hu Yanhe to fight steadily and steadily, but within [-] days he must conquer Zezhou, open up the grain road, and support the fourth division.

The old general shook his white beard, put on his armor, got on his horse with a knife in hand, and galloped away.

But the old general had just arrived in office, and before he started to do anything, news came from the front that King Qin had returned.

The Fourth Division blasted open the city gate with cannons, and the Seventh Regiment and the Fifth Regiment took the vanguard and took back Zezhou in just one day and night.Zhang Min seized the door and fled westward, but was blocked by Zhu Xieke.Fleeing south again, he ran into veteran Hu Yanhe.

The old general rolled his eyes slightly and pointed, "Take it."

Zhang Min and his remnants were captured alive. The No.11 Division and the Fourth Division joined forces in the city. The old general asked Qin Wang: "What is a cannon? Can I let the old man see it?"

It is worth mentioning that there were gunpowder in the Tang Dynasty and cannons in the Southern Song Dynasty.The Liang Dynasty at this time was basically the same as the Northern Song Dynasty.The appearance of King Qin made this thing appear 100 years earlier.

The old general laughed and said, "It's just a large musket ear. King Qin really has money to make such a heavy weapon."

Qin Wang said that although Zhang Min was eliminated, it was not enough to reverse the situation.The war should be accelerated, otherwise the longer the delay, the greater the power of the Zhang family.Moreover, Chen Yue's bandit army grew at an incredible speed, and it became an obstacle. Now the two enemy forces must be wiped out together.And it must be before autumn.Otherwise, they will compete for wheat harvesting, causing a large-scale famine in the east of the river. By then, there will be refugees everywhere in the east of the river, and the court will lose the support of the people.If you lose people's hearts, this battle will be even more difficult to fight.

The old general said with emotion: "It's really rare for King Qin to have such profound insights at such a young age."Qin Wang focused on the general situation and had a long-term vision, which was hundreds of times stronger than that reckless Ye Ting.No wonder King Xian often praised King Qin, and now it seems that he is not bad.

Speaking of Ye Ting, the old boy was beaten to the end by the virtuous king and told him to go home and reflect.But Ye Ting refused to accept it, and wrote a letter begging Xian Wang to let him be the captain of the regiment.Seeing the sincerity of the letter, King Xian asked him to lead the ninth regiment of the No. 11 division, but he did not work part-time in the brigade.

The old general only brought some food and hundreds of veterans here.The food problem has been solved, but the No.11 division is still incomplete and needs to be supplemented urgently.But at this time, Zezhou suffered successive military disasters, and everyone ran away without a trace. Waiting for him to recruit troops to supplement the team, I don't know the year of the monkey.

"How many people are missing in the Eleventh Division, I will make up for the old general." Su Yu said with a smile: "But I also have a lot of recruits and prisoners in my hands. The old general won't be disgusted, right?"

"Hehe, it's not bad to beg for food, how dare you dislike the reward from the King of Qin. Please rest assured, the King of Qin, although the old minister's muscles and bones are not as good as before, but the captive's ability will not regress."

……

The national tax reform is continuing, and wars are raging in some areas. Because the tax reform is not aimed at the poor, but is beneficial to the poor, a strange phenomenon has arisen. Instead, most of the well-dressed rich people flee with their families.

They don't know that Gyeonggi Province will also reform taxes.It's just that Cao Yuhan hasn't started to do anything yet.Because there are too many wealthy households in Gyeonggi, Cao Yuhan dare not do anything when the situation in the whole country is unstable.

As a result, more and more wealthy households fled to Luoyang with huge sums of money.Just looking at the gate of the city, the people queuing up to enter the city are all tall and handsome.There are dozens of female family members in the family, silk and satin, ringed with jingle bells.Walking through there, the air is filled with fragrance.

Bandits have become rampant recently, and for them, every vote is a big fat.But at the same time, several knights appeared in the rivers and lakes, specializing in killing bandits.Among them, the two most famous swordsmen are Li Mobai, the sword fairy, and Long Xiaotian, the sword god.Of course, the title of "Sword God" was just obtained by Long Xiaotian, because he was able to bear this title because he fought against violence and performed justice.

There are more and more wealthy households, and the real estate prices in Luoyang City are soaring all the way, and the prices are changing with each passing day, which is frightening to watch.

The Kong family, a wealthy family in Beishi, originally had tens of billions of assets, of which 50 billion in cash was put into the turnover of the Tang family. Although Kong Xiang only had half of it in his hands, and it was all real estate, this half of the assets had been rolled over in the past few years. Usually doubled.Especially the Kongjiacang in Beishi, they don’t sell it for any money.The warehouse is full of goods, and you can make money sitting on the ground.

To say that this kid either ran out to rob tombs, or fooled around with the widowed princess, but his assets were still increasing sharply.It really makes people sigh, life is destiny.

On this day, Kong Xiang was tinkering with antiques at home, when a group of people broke in suddenly, armed with government documents, trying to arrest Kong Xiang and confiscated all the antiques in his house.

"Hey! This official, don't be in a hurry, maybe you don't know, I am the brother-in-law of King Qin!"

"Oh, sorry, no one can save you today!"

Hearing this, Kong Xiang pulled his face down: "I said this official, I haven't inquired about it yet, which yamen are you from?"

The man pinched his waist and said: "You will know when you go."

The house was ransacked, the door was sealed, and the door seal was written with four big characters "Geng Wangfu Feng".At the same time, all the stores of the Kong family were sealed off.Mobilize the Fang Department to wipe out all the Confucian forces in Beishi. All the gold, silver and treasures were escorted to Geng Prince's Mansion. Those who were arrested were sent to Wan'an County, where they were temporarily detained as mob suspects.

At the same time that the Kong family was ransacked, a group of officials broke into the Honghei Temple.

The leader stood in the hall holding the approval document, and said loudly, "Who is the abbot here?"

Yan Xiaoyi ran over: "The abbot is not here, what's the matter with the official family?"

The official said: "I don't care if he is here or not. Now I ask you to gather all the monks together and come with me."

Yan Xiaoyi frowned and asked, "Do you have any approval documents from Honglu Temple?"

The official snorted coldly: "Does the investigation of Prince Geng's Mansion require approval from Honglu Temple?"

"But……"

The official stared and said: "Stop talking nonsense! If you don't cooperate, you will be arrested by force!"

At the same time that the Honghei Temple was closed down, the Meiling Hall was also closed down.But Tang Lian refused to cooperate with the execution and led dozens of believers to openly resist the law.Attracts Jin Wuwei (Kang Wang faction) to take Tang Lian away.But just after they were taken away, Tang Yun came and said that Tang Lian could be taken away, but the store seal should be revoked.

The face of the Tang clan is big enough, otherwise, once the Meiling Hall closes, hundreds of artists inside will also suffer.

But Tang Yun could only help so much, he couldn't possibly keep the Kong family and the Honghei Temple together.Later, Tang Yun told this matter to Tang Ling'er, the owner of Chang'an County, who had just been promoted to the elder of the Tang family.

……

King Geng's Mansion, the palace of the king.

King Geng Zhao Zhun was leading dozens of staff to work hard. The weather was sweltering in August. Even with the maids fanning the wind, the regent's forehead was still dripping with sweat.

Suddenly I heard that someone went to Beishi to have a big fight. Hearing the details, King Geng Zhao Zhun became furious, dropped the Chinese scroll in his hand, and strode towards the inner house.

"Mom! Did you ask me to do this?"

"So what?"

The veins on Zhao Zhun's forehead popped up, he stared and said, "Why didn't you tell me?!"

"Tell you, can you agree?"

A wave of evil fire rose, and Zhao Zhun tore off the crown and threw it heavily on the ground. His long hair was suddenly disheveled and draped over his shoulders. He pointed to his face and said, "Mother, see clearly, I am the son of Emperor Wanlong! I am Zhao Zhun! I am the son of Emperor Wanlong!" It's King Geng! Is he the regent!"

Zhao Zhun roared: "Prince Regent!"

Zhao Zhun raised his hand and pointed at the dilapidated Prince Yu's Mansion: "Even today, you still look down on me, and you still think him good?!"

Zhao Zhun suddenly laughed wildly: "Then let me ask you, where is he now? Where am I? You said he was spiritual, but what did he do for the Liang Dynasty? , What did he say? He said that he failed to rebel and became a traitor to the royal family! He couldn’t even enter the tomb of the royal family! Hahahahaha!”

Concubine Feng jumped up against the case, gritted her teeth and pointed: "I think you are crazy, you worthless thing! You don't know what is good and what is bad! Isn't everything mother does for your own good?!"
