As early as half a month ago, when Tang Feng regained Taiyuan City, Tang Wenzheng wanted to rush there. However, this was stopped by Wu Xiang with various excuses. He either said that the road was unstable, afraid that Tang Wenzheng would be injured by the rebels who were wandering around on the road, or that he would be bound to Tang Wenzheng for the matter of pacifying Dingzhou. It was not until half a month later that Eunuch Tang finally couldn't help but order Wu Xiang to release him as his military supervisor, and he had to let him go to Taiyuan.

Wu Xiang knew Tang Feng's intention to put Tang Wenzheng in house arrest, and he kept helping him. Because he knew that Tang Feng's doing this would only be beneficial to the use of military force. If a eunuch who was not aware of military matters really interfered in the use of military force, it would only be unfavorable to quell the rebellion. But he did not have the courage of Tang Feng after all. When Tang Wenzheng suppressed Wu Xiang with his own identity, he had to make a compromise and sent a team of troops to escort Tang Wenzheng to Taiyuan Prefecture.

Along the way, Tang Wenzheng learned about the successive victory of the official army and various actions of Tang Feng. At the beginning, he was still jealous. This time, Tang Feng quickly quelled the rebellion and would definitely be glorious in front of the emperor, but he just stayed in pacification. Although he would have some contributions, it would definitely not be obvious, which was difficult for him to accept. When he thought that this was because Tang Feng left himself in pacification, Tang Wenzheng felt even more unhappy.

After learning that Tang Feng had arranged the property of the prefectures and counties that were recaptured, Tang Wenzheng felt even more painful. As a eunuch who would no longer have descendants and could not make any achievements in his career, they valued property more than ordinary people. When Tang Wenzheng thought that after taking down those cities and defeating and capturing those rebels, the official army would naturally get a lot of property, and then he would naturally get some benefits as a military supervisor. But who would have thought that Tang Feng would make such arrangements, not only did not leave some for him, but instead divided them with the civilians and soldiers. It seemed that he had taken out the silver from Tang Wenzheng's own pocket. How could he not be so painful for him?

However, after calming down, Tang Wenzheng found that this was a good reason to impeach Tang Feng. Although he had written to the court before, saying that Tang Feng was disrespectful and had a disobedience, it was his own side after all. The court obviously did not take this seriously, so he didn't even hear anything (he didn't know that the news he conveyed with the pigeon had long fallen into Tang Feng's hands, and the emperor didn't know that such a thing was happening, let alone reacted). But this time it was different. This time it was a real sin. The silver and property obtained from the anti-army were from the court, and now Tang Feng actually gave them all. From the perspective of the big picture, this was an invitation to buy the military and the people's hearts. To the small picture, it was also corrupt, so the court naturally would not let go of such a thing.

With this idea, when he came to Taiyuan, Tang Wenzheng put on airs. He made up his mind to talk to Tang Feng first. If he knew what he knew and could give him some benefits, it would be okay to impeach him. Otherwise, the court would not have allowed him to be in Shanxi based on this point.

He thought well, but Tang Feng did not take this so-called military supervisor seriously at all. He heard that he was here, but he just sent a personal soldier to take a small courtyard to live in, and the following text was gone. Tang Wenzheng couldn't do it even if he wanted to ask Tang Feng for some benefits by indirect means. How could he not be angry? Because the eunuchs were different from ordinary people, they were also distorted in their temperament, both of which were extremely inferior and self-esteem. Tang Feng's treatment had completely angered Tang Wenzheng's "fragile" heart.

"Okay, since you, Tang Feng, are so ignorant, don't blame our family for not giving face!" While gritting your teeth and thinking about the various experiences after coming to Shanxi, Tang Wenzheng began to fabricate Tang Feng's various crimes. Some of them were facts, such as the insult and unreasonableness of his military supervisor, and the distribution of Shanxi anti-military property; some were fabricated, such as Tang Feng's domineering arrogance and some very disrespectful words in front of others. As long as Tang Feng's position in the emperor's heart can be shaken, or even disgusted by the emperor, Tang Wenzheng is not afraid of exaggerating.

While Eunuch Tang was writing hard in his house, Tang Feng was making arrangements for the next battle in Shanxi. Now the war in Shanxi has come to an end. All the powerful rebels have been wiped out. They have surrendered or dispersed, and they have long been unable to make trouble. But Tang Feng did not intend to stop. He still had a very important thing to do, that is, to force these people out of Shanxi and cause trouble in other places, so that he could take the opportunity to realize his ideas.

In this regard, Tang Feng knew that it was more difficult to deal with than to wipe out all the rebellious people, so he naturally needed to arrange it more precisely. Today he was talking about this matter to the crowd under his command. Of course, he would not tell everyone his true purpose, but just to make less casualties, he would still focus on rushing and killing to deal with the increasingly declining anti-army.

"Marty, most of the anti-army troops in Shanxi have surrendered to the court now, and the rest are just people who occupy the mountains and become kings. In the eyes of the generals, we don't have to kill them anymore. As long as we order the local officials and soldiers to be careful, they will naturally not be able to make any big waves." Sun Chuanting said disapprovingly after hearing Tang Feng's meaning.

Others also nodded and agreed with his statement. Indeed, in their opinion, there is no need to make any big moves in the small anti-army army that is now overwhelming. These people were originally strong men who became bandits, but now they have just returned to do their jobs. They are now hiding in the mountains. It is quite difficult to find them, let alone hit them. And even if they really defeat them again, there is no benefit in the country and Shanxi, and they really cannot deal with the war. Now they should focus on Shaanxi, which is the foundation of the anti-army.

What they said was reasonable. Even if Tang Feng had a higher status than them, he could not force himself to claim that they did unreasonable things. He could not tell Sun Chuanting and others that I was trying to drive these chaotic troops to other provinces to the royal family in various places. So Tang Feng had to accept their intentions, but this did not mean that he would not think that when he was fighting against the chaotic troops in Shaanxi, he would still follow the plan he thought.

In this way, Tang Feng and the others were concerned about how to ensure peace here after they and others led their troops out of Shanxi. The opinions of the generals were very unified, that was, they would be able to control the superiors. First, they would select the strongest ones from the already surrendered anti-army to Shaanxi and become an army to quell the rebellion. In this way, they would naturally have no worries and a more army was spared. Although these men and horses were not as good as the elite of the Liaodong Army, they were enough to deal with the anti-army in Shaanxi.

Second, we are recruiting local garrison officers and soldiers for training, and at the same time, we will make the people and strong in each township and village to protect the family and the township together, so that those anti-army troops that have lost their past will no longer cause any storms. In addition to the role of these people, the most important thing is the cooperation of local officials, which Tang Feng is not worried about. After experiencing the sufferings of the previous few months, these officials will naturally no longer take safety matters lightly.

After saying so much, as the sky was getting darker, Tang Feng asked them to disperse and went to eat something randomly, so as to lay a solid foundation for going to Shaanxi immediately. Just as Tang Feng was holding a few steamed buns and chewing the beef, Zhang Tai came to him and reported: "Mr. Marquis, Tang Wenzheng, who you want me to stare at, is restless again."

"Hmm? What did he do?" Tang Feng asked disapprovedly after picking up a bowl of broth and taking a sip. Tang Feng was still very sure to control this so-called military supervisor.

"Sir, please see, this is the memorial brought by the carrier pigeon flying out of his yard." Zhang Tai handed over a note.

"Hmph, I've been at peace for so many days, and once I arrived in Taiyuan, he started to mess with him again." Tang Feng took the note and looked at it. After a while, the chill on his face increased a little more: "It seems that he is not only restless, but also has a lot of objections to me. I want the emperor to condemn me. Since he is so ungrateful, I can't be polite to him. Let's go and see this military supervisor first." As he said that, Tang Feng ate all the food, patted his regular clothes and stood up.

At this time, in the courtyard, Tang Wenzheng was using the rice with hope and smiling. His food was much more particular than Tang Feng. In addition to some food, many of them were famous products from Taiyuan and Shanxi. He was having a lot of fun facing the table full of delicacies.

"Eunuch Tang is really free." With this sound, Tang Feng walked in. Behind him, several personal soldiers had already separated Tang Wenzheng's entourage outside.

"...Why did Anping Hou have time to see our house?" After being stunned, Tang Wenzheng quickly returned to normal and said with a smile. The implication was that he was naturally talking about Tang Feng's coldness towards him before.

Tang Feng sat on the other side of the table, looked at the dishes all over the table, shook his head and said, "Do you know how much silver you want for this table of dishes? Thirty taels! It's just that in normal times, this is enough for a wealthy family to spend a year, let alone such a famine in recent years. Now there are still many people in Taiyuan City who are hungry, but I didn't expect that my father-in-law is so extravagant and wasteful."

"You..." Seeing that Tang Feng said he was wrong as soon as he opened his mouth, Tang Wenzheng's expression suddenly changed, and he finally suppressed his anger. He smiled and said without a smile: "The Marquis said this too much. Not bad. The past few years have not been good, but our family represents the court, how can it be compared with ordinary untouchables? If they hadn't helped those rebels, why would they end up like this? They were all asking for it."

"You are a thing without eggs, how can you represent the court?" Tang Feng was almost ready to let this out. Fortunately, he knew his identity and endured the foul words, but his expression was already a little ugly.

Seeing that Tang Feng was unhappy, Tang Wenzheng felt even more happy. He smiled and said, "And, Marquis, don't think that our family is not here. Compared to you, this waste of our family is nothing. I heard that you took out all the money and grain from the treasury in Taiyuan and other places and distributed it to the soldiers and the people. Don't say that our family did not remind you, where did the marquis do this, but he placed the court and the emperor?"

Tang Feng looked at him saying this proudly, with a sneer on his face: "Eunuch Tang is indeed very informative. However, this matter was also done by the Marquis of Shanxi. I don't think I have to report it to you, right? As for the emperor, after the rebellion is quelled, I will explain it to him." At this point, Tang Feng's face darkened and his tone changed: "But there is one thing I want to ask Mr. Tang. If you have any unknowns, you can ask me why you have to speculate and tell the court that this Marquis is not?"

"Marty, what did you say...?" Intimidated by Tang Feng's momentum, Tang Wenzheng's voice trembled a little. He didn't know what Tang Feng meant, and whether he had discovered the case of complaining to the court behind his back.

"Why, Eunuch Tang still wants to do something unfaithful? I know everything you do with me behind my back. In order to improve morale and appease the people, I will share the silver and grain obtained from the anti-army with the soldiers and the people. But you use this as an excuse to attack me, but what are you thinking about?" Tang Feng, who was thinking of finding an excuse to get rid of this thorn in his side, now that he has the appropriate excuse, he will naturally not show any mercy anymore and asks sternly.

"Our family... we have never done such a thing. I don't know where the Marquis heard the rumors." At this time, the only thing Tang Wenzheng could do was deny it. He had obviously felt the murderous intent from Tang Feng's stern tone. This is not a joke. Once this person is really annoying, his life will be lost. Even if he has the identity of a military supervisor, he still has this self-knowledge, and knows that he has no position in the army at all.

"What, do you dare to do but don't recognize it?" Tang Feng took out the letter from his arms and threw it in front of Tang Wenzheng: "This is the evidence!"

"Ah!" Seeing his handwritten letter appearing in front of him, Tang Wenzheng's expression suddenly turned pale: "This...this..." for a moment, I couldn't even say the complete words.

Tang Feng looked at the greedy and incompetent eunuch coldly, feeling disdainful: "What, do you have anything else to say now? As a military supervisor, he doesn't want to offer suggestions for our army to quell the chaos, but he only knows how to play these tricks, which is really despicable!"

It was not until this time that Tang Wenzheng knew what kind of opponent he had encountered. Not only did Tang Feng use troops, but he was never vague in other matters. Moreover, this person did not have the taboos of other generals, which was really terrible. Looking at Tang Feng's cold eyes, Tang Wenzheng believed that if he caused this person to be angry, he would probably lose his life. Although he was not a good man, he also knew that the situation was stronger than others, so he had to bow his head and said, "Marty, it's a slave who is wrong, and he never dares to do it again!" In a blink of an eye, he had already called himself a slave and lost his arrogance.

Seeing that he had given up, Tang Feng's murderous intent was calmer. Although it was just a matter of raising his hand to kill this person, he was the military supervisor sent by the emperor to the army. If he had a few shortcomings, it would be unreasonable. Although Tang Feng did not have any idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, it would always be good to not arouse the emperor's suspicion. And after killing him, the court will definitely send military supervisors again, which may be more troublesome at that time. So after thinking, Tang Feng said: "It is good that you can change your mistakes, and this marquis is not a person who holds revenge. But I hope you can remember what happened today and don't do it again, otherwise, even if this marquis is willing to spare you, your brothers will not."

"Yes... Thank you for being generous!" Tang Wenzheng said hurriedly, not daring to have any dissatisfaction anymore.

Tang Feng said again: "By the way, you have been here with my army for some time. It's time to write some memorials for the emperor. Let's write some of them according to facts. Then I will send someone to send it back to Beijing."

"Yes, I'll write it now!" Tang Wenzheng responded quickly, being so gentle and obedient that he was not like a military supervisor, but a servant. Tang Feng needed such a person. After a smile, he turned around and left.

Everything that happened in Shanxi was closely watched by Gao Yingxiang and others in Shaanxi. In their opinion, even if those anti-army like bandits were not opponents of the official army, they could still support it for a while and cause some trouble to the officers and soldiers. But whoever thought it was not as good as they wished. In just one month, more than 100,000 people there disappeared, which really made them unacceptable.

It was not until this time that everyone accepted the reality that the official army this time was more powerful than before, and it was far from being able to deal with it by themselves. Therefore, the anti-army armies no longer fought on their own, but formed an alliance. If they fight alone, they are afraid that they will lose in one battle. Only by uniting everyone’s strength and relying on their familiarity with the terrain, can they deal with the official army led by Tang Feng.

With this understanding, the original holiday between Wang Jiayin and Gao Yingxiang could only be thrown aside. When the rebellion was in trouble, it was precisely because of the distrust of both sides that Tang Feng was given the opportunity to defeat each other. This time they would never let the same thing happen again. So on April 25, when they learned that the situation in Shanxi had been decided by the government army, the two men gathered together and met in Xianyang City, Shaanxi to discuss how to join forces to discuss the enemy.

After one night of preparation, on April 26, two old friends who had been missing for a long time finally met, but they still did not dare to relax their vigilance. They followed hundreds of followers around them, and a meeting that concerns the overall situation in Shaanxi began...
