Chapter 386: The Benefit of Salt Pond

The old abbot showed a slightly reserved look when he heard this. He stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.

Duan Mingyu's speech changed and said, "I've had a serious illness a few days ago. Now I've just recovered. I've confirmed that my family is pregnant and has a back. Today is the day when Guanyin Master became a monk and achieved enlightenment. So I'll give you a stick of incense." Speaking of this, Duan Mingyu couldn't help but smile again. With his hard work, Yanyan really lived up to expectations. There was movement in her belly.

Old ancestor Li laughed and said, "Okay. Let's wait for me to put an incense stick on the master. Let's leave together."

Old Ancestor Li stepped forward, knelt on the cushion, prayed silently for a while, lit a high incense and offered it piously, then got up and wrote a few more strokes on the merit book. The old abbot clasped his hands together and glanced at him. Seeing that Old Lady Li was extraordinary, a huge sum of incense and oil, the two white eyebrows couldn't help but trembled a few times. He quickly held back and still maintained the appearance of a paradise.

The old abbot respectfully accompanied Li Mubai until outside the temple gate. Then he stopped. When Li Mubai and others left, the old abbot rushed back to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. As soon as several nobles who raised funds to build the Big Wild Goose Pagoda walked out of the tower, talking and laughing. He hurriedly welcomed the Buddha's name.

These believers have not donated money for indulgence and oil. How could the old abbot not serve him wholeheartedly...

"Prince, these officials are all the confidants of the Seventh Prince. If there is no huge temptation, how can they be willing to defect to their godfather?" Tian Wei frowned and handed a long list of appointments to Tian Lingzi.

"Hmph. Where can the officials in the world who have a grudge against money? As long as the family can afford a large price, they are not afraid of them... Damn, so many officials are all the confidants of the Seventh Prince." Tian Lingzi couldn't help but be surprised. This is not bad. This is not bad. If this continues, the Seventh Prince will definitely crush him.

"How do we earn from outside? How many officials can we buy?" Tian Lingzi immediately made his first reaction.

"Less than one tenth."

"So little, at least 50%. Where did the imperial court's nearest city come from?" Tian Lingzi's thoughts and couldn't help but have the idea of ​​the imperial treasury.

"The benefits of the salt pond worshipped by Wang Chongrong, the governor of the Hezhong Jiedushi."

"Okay. Then you rush to Shanzhou immediately and let Wang Chongrong hand over the benefits of the Yanchi in Jie County and Anhu. If this matter is done, the family will be allowed to be a third-rank official."

"Thank you godfather." Tian Wei retreated with a smile.

...

Half a month later, Tian Wei's body was carried to Tian Lingzi's mansion. Wang Chongrong rebelled.

Tian Lingzi immediately went to the hall. Duan Mingyu was also in a hurry because of the Heyang Jiedushi Zhuge Shuang. Caizhou Qin Zongquan attacked Luoyang. Duan Mingyu asked to lead the right army of Shence Army to Luoyang to quell the rebellion. Everything revealed an unusual smell.

Emperor Xizong of Tang was furious and ordered Duan Mingyu to go to Luoyang to quell the rebellion. Tian Lingzi went to Shanzhou to quell the rebellion. It was false to be attacked in Luoyang. The rebellion in Shanzhou was true.

"Woo~~Woo~~~" The desolate horn sounded. The east gate of Shanzhou City opened wide. The army in the river poured out like a tide and rolled towards the east.

Wang Chongrong went from being a county magistrate to becoming an emperor-like figure. For twenty years, he had sucked his ambitions. But after all, he was a figure who fought for the bloody storm. When he was desperate, the arrogance and ferocity in his heart emanated again. He became a hero again.

He could not accept Tian Lingzi's blackmail. He brazenly raised his troops. He also contacted the Fenning Jiedushi Zhu Zi and Hedong Jiedushi Li Keyong to raise troops to support the king and clear the king's side. The two of them agreed happily. But he did not expect Tian Lingzi to come too quickly. The 100,000 Shence army surrounded Shanzhou before he could react. The troops were insufficient, the food and grass were not enough to defend Shanzhou. He had two choices. One was that if he broke through Shanzhou, when he arrived at Li Changfu's Qizhou, he would have nothing. He led a group of beggar-like subordinates. He had to bow down to Li Changfu and beg for food one by one.

Maybe. To endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, sleep on firewood and taste gall. There is indeed a day to make a comeback. But he is not Goujian. He doesn't want to be Goujian. He is an eagle on the grassland, a tiger and an eagle in the mountains. Even when death comes, it will spread its wings and fly upwards until it dies with exhaustion. The tiger. Even if it is about to die, it will strive to maintain its kingly dignity and will not bow its head in front of all beasts.

So he gave up his adopted son Wang Fang, who was loyal to him, and accompanied his subordinates and the 10,000 troops who had always advanced and retreated with his subordinates. He used their decisive battle to attract Tian Lingzi's army to siege the city and destroy their deployment.

Shanzhou City is not a city that is right south and north. Its angle is slightly tilted. Therefore, the main force from Tian Lingzi came from the west to guard the northwest corner and blocked the road to the north. The army from Chang'an guarded the northeast corner. If the army going to the south to aid the south city was a large army, then he rushed to the northwest and took advantage of the opportunity to move his troops out of the camp. He had not had time to make up for the empty space to break out. Go to Puzhou to deal with Tian Lingzi again. If Chang'an's troops came from the northeast line, then he would attack eastward, break through the defense line of the Shence Army and go to the farther Longyou.

After receiving the news sent by Wang Fang, he had sent someone to check the authenticity of the news. He knew that the news Wang Fang said was true. Tian Lingzi really sent troops. But he only deployed defenses in the northeast of Shaanxi Province. He also found out that Zhu Zi's troops took the opportunity to act. Before the deployment of the defense line was completed, he integrated his subordinates to attack Chang'an.

It was precisely because of understanding these situations that he believed Wang Fang's words. He believed that Tian Lingzi would return to his post in a hurry to protect his foundation.

However, Tian Lingzi suddenly surrounded Shanzhou and broke his fantasy. In his opinion, Tian Lingzi had only one reason for this move: Tian Lingzi had no confidence in fighting with the Three Feudals. He could only get rid of himself first and then deal with the other two Feudals.

If Shanzhou is lost, then he is likely to give up his foundation. The entire army retreats to Puzhou. It uses Puzhou's natural barrier. As a natural barrier to block the central army of the Shence Army, which is mainly composed of incisors, Tian Lingzi did not rush back to Chang'an City. He even gathered troops to attack his Shanzhou. Wang Chongrong was with the worst plan. He thought that if Shanzhou fails, he will do his best to operate Puzhou and be a king.
