Chapter 933 Variables are everywhere
Yuwen Tai has always attached great importance to the cultivation of talents. Not only young people with outstanding talents, but also some people with good abilities but not outstanding status are gradually discovered by them and placed in important positions.
Therefore, although many important members of the Chinese and foreign governments are going to fight with the army, there are also many talents left. Putting aside the successful young Li Zhi and others, there are also Da Xi, Yilumu, etc. who are proficient in civil and military affairs.
With the efforts of these people, the matters such as the Chang’an Imperial Army, the Longyou Division, and the government troops in the Kin-Nei Prefectures were also carried out smoothly. In just a short time, an army of more than 20,000 troops was formed in Tongzhou.
With such a considerable mobile army in hand, Li Zhi and others’ mood gradually changed from fear when they first received the news to calm down, which was also considered as having a gun in their hands and not panic in their hearts. No matter what happens again, they are capable of responding.
At the same time, they are also paying close attention to further changes in the situation. Unfortunately, their strength is still insufficient. They cannot strictly control the personnel channels between Tongzhou and Tongguan, and they can only passively receive information.
Just as the Chinese and foreign governments were gradually preparing, Dugu Xin and Zhao Gui, who had escaped from the Yiyang front line, returned to Tongzhou day and night. In order to cover up, and the situation at that time, they did not allow too many accomplices to be convened, so there were only a few hundred soldiers.
If you want to return to the country and take over the power, it is obviously not enough to rely solely on such a small amount of manpower. Therefore, Dugu Xin did not go straight to Tongzhou City or Chang’an, but came to Chaosaka on the east side of Tongzhou City first.
The Yellow River is close to the Chaoshang. The river defense situation in the past year is severe, and this is also an important place for garrison troops. Because Bafu was defeated and the troops were severely insufficient, the generals and troops were mostly used to protect the river. When Hebasheng was alive, he arranged his troops in a manor near Chaoban. While farming and weaving, he also participated in the river defense.
After Hebasheng’s death, Hebasheng, as his heir, was unwilling to manage these personnel industries. In addition, Hebasheng’s old subordinates followed Li Tai, so Dugu Xin also took over the park industry and became another personnel base in Tongzhou.
There are not many people living in the manor of Asaka, and only a hundred people are strong, but the accumulated materials are relatively abundant, with hundreds of exquisite armored swords. Moreover, the role of eye and eyeliner can also be played here. In this case, in addition to providing a temporary foothold, Dugu Xin can also understand the changes in the situation in Tongzhou City as soon as possible.
Dugu Xin led everyone to Chaoshang Manor for a while and then summoned the manager of the village to ask about the personnel changes in Tongzhou City recently. When he heard that the emperor from Chang’an moved to Tongzhou not long ago, he frowned.
“This is a big deal! Why did Your Majesty the Emperor suddenly move to Tongzhou? Could it be that the Chinese and foreign governments have known that we are running back, so they are prepared for this?”
After hearing this, the other peers present became shocked and suspicious. One of them couldn’t help but say in a trembling voice, which made the others glar.
When they realized that the situation in Yiyang was not good, they broke away from the army and rushed back to Guanzhong. What they hoped was to rely on the prestige of Dugu Xin and Zhao Gui to go to the Chang’an court to control the government and bypass the Chinese and foreign governments to create a new order. At that time, Dugu Xin will be in charge of the sect and the force support provided by Taiyuan King Li Boshan, so he will naturally be able to avoid retaliation from the Chinese and foreign governments.
But they had just returned to Tongzhou, but they didn’t expect their original plan to be hit hard. The emperor and a group of important officials of the court had already arrived in Tongzhou. How could they control the government?
After hearing this, Dugu Xin’s frowning brows quickly unfolded, and then he smiled and said, “Although things are a little twists and turns, there is no need to panic. No matter how big things are, it may not be smooth sailing, but if there is no accident, the situation will still be under control!”
After hearing this, Zhao Gui nodded and said, “What the Grand Sima said is that Chang’an’s move to Tongzhou is not an unexpected variable. The army defeated Mangshan and retreated to Yiyang. There will inevitably be military communication between inside and outside for many days.
Duke Zhongshan and others were conceited in a narrow plan, and they must be very respectful and guarded against the King of Taiyuan in their hearts. Because they are afraid that the King of Taiyuan will first follow the court, they will pass on the letter of the emperor and others to welcome His Majesty to settle in Tongzhou. It is also a normal plan.
But the situation is now trapped, how can the Chinese and foreign governments and other left-behind people be properly handled? There was no elder who had hoped that the elderly would take charge of the matter, so they should follow the expedient measures. Now that we have returned, we will naturally have to deal with it more properly. The army of the Chinese and foreign governments is trapped outside, and the country’s national strength is not strong. Ningdu and other generals of the Liuzhizhi should also come to ask the Grand Sima what to do! “
