Jingxiang chatted a lot with Dazhao Tao that night.

In his eyes, whether it is Tao blind or Hao Ren, these people have no position at all. They only have money in their eyes. For money, they don’t care who they make a deal with.

Fan Sheng told him that he used Hao Ren to obtain some information from the north. Every time Hao Ren sent someone to the north to smuggle, the Palace Front Office would always follow him. On the other hand, the North would definitely get some information from them from Hao Ren. This is a mutual process.

Both sides will once again identify the information they received from Hao Ren and screen out what is useful to them from a large amount of information that is true or false.

Therefore, Hao Ren and his group are relatively speaking, on a more neutral standpoint. What they see is sometimes much more real than what they get.

Especially those who often travel to the north like Tao Xiaozi will know more.

Jingxiang couldn't sleep at all. The blind man Tao beside him buried himself in a pile of dead grass and slept soundly.

While chatting with Jing Xiang, Daddy Tao tried his best to hide it, but this did not prevent Jing Xiang from knowing what he wanted from his narrative.

Dark Tao was not optimistic that Daliang could win in this battle. He believed that the Tang regime in the north would be stronger. The reason why he hoped that such a situation would continue was only because such a situation would help people like him to seek greater benefits and make more money.

If the world is truly unified, no matter whether it is the Tang Dynasty or Daliang, their living space will be gone. At that time, it is probably time to kill the donkey. After all, no matter which government it is, it will not tolerate existence like them.

Jing Xiang did not doubt Dark Tao. In fact, Dark Tao really didn't know that his boss was one of the Tang Dynasty's inner guards, and as he continued to output intelligence over the years, his level had become higher and higher. Only by treating himself as the leader of a smuggling organization can he behave in a very natural and real way in front of people like Jing Xiang, because that's what he thought.

Jing Xiang never doubted Hao Ren.

After all, he knew that Hao Ren's son Hao Meng was once a powerful general under Zhu Youzhen's command and died in Huguan, while Li Ze's mother, Mrs. Wang, died under Hao Meng's knife. With this relationship, Jing Xiang did not think Hao Ren was qualified to surrender to Li Ze.

What he never expected was that Hao Ren, a person like him who had been struggling in the underworld for many years, left a way out for himself many years and gave birth to a son who no one knew. Li Ze's words for his own master made Hao Ren become a member of the inner guard wholeheartedly.

Of course, these small things are actually not within Jing Xiang's consideration. What he thought more about was the impact this Chang'an coup would have on Daliang, and how he would minimize the consequences of this impact.

It is impossible to hide it. It won’t take long to know about this matter. Fan Sheng’s original judgment was that winter was coming, and the cold weather and the difficulty of material transportation would minimize the possibility of the outbreak of the war. If there is really something, or it will wait until the beginning of spring next year. In this way, Daliang still has several months to prepare.

But when he saw the sleeping bags that Tao Weizi took out, Jing Xiang suddenly realized that with such perfect preparations from the Tang army, the war started in winter, which was not too difficult for them.

The real difficulty is Daliang himself.

If the war really starts in winter, more supplies and more consumption will be needed. Cotton coats, quilts, firewood, roasting and charcoal will all need a massive supply, and the loss of food and grass transportation will be greater. I don’t know how many times better than Daliang’s side, Jingxiang is very clear about this.

The Tang people knew their advantages, so they started a war in winter, which would be more beneficial to them.

Now Jingxiang has only a little hope, that the regime in the north will misjudgment, and will think that a civil war will inevitably break out within Daliang, and Zhu Youyu and Zhu Youzhen will definitely fight. They can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. After watching the two fight, they will fight again, and the fisherman will benefit. If this is the case, they might endure it and not send troops.

And I have to use this rare window to convince Xu Fu, Zhu Youzhen and their supporters to prepare for the upcoming attack of Li Ze in the north as quickly as possible.

Jing Xiang was stunned for a moment and was woken up by Dark Tao. He opened his eyes and found that it was just dawn.

"Respect yourselves, we have to hurry."

Jing Xiang nodded tiredly, forced himself to clean up, cleaned up a little while, and continued to rush forward with everyone's company.

Another day later, what surprised Jingxiang and was happy that the generals of the Palace Front Office, whom he was familiar with, rushed over with the secret order they left behind. This person was Shi Hong.

And Shi Hong has always been by Zhu Youzhen's side.

The news brought by Shi Hong stunned him.

"Tian Guofeng?"

Shi Hong nodded with a heavy face: "Yes, now we can speculate, Tian Guofeng, Xu Xiang, Chen Fu and others are not Taishan bandits at all. They are a nail that Li Ze had long been ambushing Mount Tai, in order to give us a heavy blow at the critical moment. The Third Highness asked me to return to Chang'an as fast as possible to report this matter to you. Unexpectedly, Chang'an had such a big thing happening."

Jing Xiang was stunned for a while before shook his head and said, "Li Ze couldn't think of such a trick. This is the vicious old man Gongsun Changming!"

Gongsun Changming, a poisonous snake hidden beside Li Ze, easily showed his poisonous fangs, but once he sticks out his tongue and trusts, it will be a time to kill people.

Who would have thought that the Taishan bandit would be Li Ze's man? He had predicted the subsequent development several years in advance and set up chess pieces, allowing everything to go step by step according to his expectations. Such a person is so terrible.

Now his goal has been achieved. Li Ze almost had no effort to destroy Dai Chao's 50,000 naval army and took down the Shandong East Road. Next, Xiangyang was afraid that Xiangyang would not be able to defend it. After such a thing happened in Chang'an, even if Dai Chao gathered a group of defeated soldiers in Xiangyang, he would never defend anywhere. He would definitely lead his troops back to Chang'an to stand on Zhu Youyu's platform. However, the loss of Xiangyang was another bad news for Chang'an.

Now that Shandong East Road and Jingnanjie Town are connected, they have already gained a firm foothold. Next, the other party will inevitably go east along the Yangtze River. The third prince finally found a situation in the south, and the situation suddenly became worse.

"Before Xu Xiang escaped, he burned down a large amount of weapons and food in the Wuning treasury with fire." Shi Hong sighed: "Now the situation is really bad. Gong Yunda of Huainan was already unstable. After this matter was made, he refused to provide a piece of food to the third prince. He even began to gather troops in the important areas of the pass, which forced us to separate our troops to guard against him. To be honest, putting aside the views of both sides, I admire the other party's layout. This time, we lost without any wickedness. I never dreamed that such a thing would happen."

Speaking of this, Shi Hong looked frustrated. Since Tian Guofeng defected to the Third Highness, the war was in front of the war. It was not a show, it was really fighting for his life, especially in the Battle of Ezhou. After the war, the arrows raised from Tian Guofeng weighed two pounds, and Chen Fu was also covered with scars. Xu Xiang, although in the rear, both in Tai'an and Wuning, had taken care of the place in order and raised a large amount of military funds and food for the Third Highness. Who would have thought that these three people with outstanding abilities and outstanding performance set off the others were actually spies sent by the enemy!

"How did the Third Prince arrange it?" Jing Xiang had no time to think about these things. The matter had been discovered. He now had to consider how to cure the aftermath.

Shi Hong's arrival finally solved why Zhu Youyu hurriedly launched this coup. In his heart, he was afraid that he thought that this matter was done by Zhu Youzhen deliberately, in order to cut off his wings. Jingnan must have fallen into Zhu Youzhen's hands long ago. If he did not take action, the strength comparison between the two sides would undergo earth-shaking changes.

If all this is true, then there is no doubt that, no matter Emperor Zhu Wen or other court officials, Daliang, even if he is angry with Zhu Youzhen's actions, he will pinch his nose and accept it, and even force Zhu Youzhen to be the crown prince immediately. Because he took down Zhu Youzhen from Jingnan, Shandong, Eyue, Huainan, Wuning, and the balance, Xuanwu's support for him has long surpassed everyone, and even the emperor is not as good as the emperor. If this is true, Jingxiang doesn't matter. He originally supported Zhu Youzhen. He can accept such a result.

If all this was really something Zhu Youzhen was doing behind his back, he would even think that only Zhu Youzhen could have the talent of a hero.

Unfortunately, all of this was all the enemy fiddling with him. Zhu Youzhen was just a chess piece in the opponent's hand. Daliang suffered huge losses, but Zhu Youzhen didn't get anything except his elder brother's thrilling hatred for him.

"Your Highness left Liu Xinda to station in Eyue, and you must not lose it here. Fortunately, the navy has arrived, and we have also planned to build a navy in Eyue. There are more than 200 warships on both sides, and they are all experienced navy teams. Now they are all commanded by Liu Xinda. On the premise of defending Eyue, we hope that the advance can plan for Yueyang again, take down Dongting, and retreat can threaten Huainan, so that Gong Yunda will not immediately fall to the north." Shi Hong said: "And the third highness himself has retreated to Wuning to reorganize the army. The third highness is worried that the north will attack immediately."

"This arrangement is not bad!" Jing Xiang Xin nodded.
