The sky is boundless, and the roads of thousands of miles of Yangguan are everywhere. Horses are sluggish, people are gone, and the clouds are sad.

The old marten is made of narrow military uniforms, and the Hu frost is thousands of miles white. The silk is heart, the soul and dream are separated, and the sky is climbed to a tall building.

"Jiuquanzi·Kongchi Wubian"

Five Dynasties: Sun Guangxian

——I am the dividing line—

In Wuwei City, the capital of Liangzhou in the northwest, there had just been a coup with almost no bloodshed. The remnants of the Guiyi army who fled back one after another suddenly launched an attack on the grounds of assisting defense. They suppressed Weng Hao's old subordinates who were originally disintegrating and unscrupulous.

However, as the biggest beneficiary of this rebellion, Zhang Huaiding, who was nominally placed under house arrest in disguise, was welcomed by the governor of the 0th Jiedushi who was later brought out to preside over the situation in the city, but he had no seclusion or pleasure in regaining real power;

Because, Cao Yijin's companion in the army commander of the Guiyi Army, one of the initiators of this accident, was companion in the army and horse commander of the Guiyi Army, and Cao Renli, who was in great painstakingly trying to persuade him with affectionate efforts, and took the initiative to give up the power and status that was already within his reach.

"Ding Gong, please say something unrespectful to me. Is there anything you can lose or lose? "

"What do you mean?"

Because of his early experience in living in Beijing, Zhang Huaiding, who was over 40 years old and still seemed a little rich and elegant, made a little move:

"I just want to protect Mr. Ding and take care of everyone, and seek a way out of life and retreat in the current difficult situation. The Taiping Army is coming in a short time dozens of miles away, but this is the case in the city. Can't people ask for a way out?"

Cao Renli said in a deep voice:

"It's so good, but why do I believe you?"

Zhang Huaiding was unmoved and said:

"If Mr. Ding cannot trust me, who else can trust me?. Should I go to the remnants of the Sok family who stayed to guard you? Or to the people of Weng Shangshu who have never had time to be flawless in the court?"

Cao Renli asked seriously:

"Then you can't give up easily. I am a family member of Zhang in Hexi..."

But Zhang Huaiding turned to him and said:

"It depends on what you gave up on Mr. Ding!"

Cao Renli was a little angry and said:

"How much is the decent and majesty of the Zhang family who manages the northwest since the Suo family usurped the rebellion? The court even regarded Zhang as a troubled family and repeatedly refused to give him any invitations!"

"At that time, the Taiwei (Zhang Yichao) overcame difficulties and resolved chaos and Helong, and the country was in all directions. What he relied on was the gathering of the hearts of the vast majority of people who had been suffering and ugly for a long time, and the great power that always respected the court's unconventional title."

"Now there are no courts that can be respected now. A large number of Helong children are in the Pass. It is hard to say that the northwest families are full of griefs. What is the benefit of the so-called title and title of Duke Ding? Does Duke Ding want to stand up and bear the grievances that everyone wants?"

Speaking of this, Cao Renli sighed heavily:

"At least compared to those of us, Mr. Ding still has a way out and is rich and prosperous."

"How do you say this?"

After hearing this, Zhang Huaiding's face changed a few times, he frowned and said:

"Don't Duke Ding know yet? Those people are too much!! Are you so deceiving and guarding against you?"

However, Cao Renli suddenly became angry.

"Only in the current situation, do I don't know what else is going on?"

Zhang Huaiding said that he was a little self-deprecating and self-deprecating:

"Since entering the pass, everyone knows that Mr. Ding also has a young girl with close relatives. Now he is serving the Lord of the Taiping Army and has given birth to the eldest son..."

"What!"

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Huaiding couldn't help but feel a little shocked, but became angry again.

As Zhang Yichao's eldest son, he naturally knew the meaning of this identity. That's why he was able to live in Chang'an for many years with his unfamiliar qualifications; he naturally gathered a group of old veterans in the Guiyi Army to watch it, and Zhang Huaishen, who had been in charge of the Guiyi Army for more than 30 years, could do nothing about it.

But the court, the Suo family, the Li family were obviously hiding and guarding against him, but they were never known. This made people feel a little bit depressed and angry. Could it be that Zhang Huaiding relies on the kindness of a young girl who has almost never been masked to talk about a thorough person?

Then Cao Renli's next words made him feel full of boycott and indignation disappear, and he became more and more restless:

"It is necessary to know that the troops of the governor of Langzhou, Li Mingzhen, have already bowed to the Taiping Army in Didao City, Lanzhou. Their dependence is just because of his wife and sister..."

When Cao Renli said this, he saw Zhang Huaiding hammering the case with his hand and said sternly:

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable..."

"Ding Gong?"

Cao Renli was slightly surprised when he heard this. Could it be that he had overcorrected himself?

"What is Li's thing? But after taking a sister from the sect, can my family be closer to me even if my relatives are close?"

Zhang Huaiding was so arrogant:

"I came and sent an envoy to negotiate. I said that as the current master of Zhang, as I miss this youngest girl who is wandering away, I hope to see each other again."

"yes.."

Cao Renli was shocked when he heard this, but sighed greatly in his heart, and remembered the instructions and explanations of Cao Yijin, the clan leader and elder brother who had already become a monk before. At least the thousands of Cao family relatives who remained in the pass were preserved.

In Gyeonggi Province, Li Mingzhen, who was heading towards Chang'an on a slowly moving carriage, couldn't help but sneeze several times. Then he became a little lucky and grateful again.

You know, he thought that his injury worsened and his fever would not subside, and he would die in the city of Didao; but he did not expect that there were still some capable people and means in the Taiping Army who were able to rescue and respond to their lives;

Afterwards, the medical officer from the army not only cleared his ulcerated wounds, but also used a special medicine powder to slowly wake up from his constant fever and drowsiness, and face the reality again.

Therefore, in the end, he only paid the price of a lame leg from then on, and he could no longer run quickly and fight fiercely. However, the real change in her mentality was what she saw and heard along the way back.

It was only more than a month since he led his troops out of the pass, and all the devastated scenery seemed to be completely different from the original ruins and withered scenery.

On both sides of the road that was significantly flattened and widened; the silted ditches were dug up and clear rivers began to flow; the wild grasses that grew wildly in the fields visible to the naked eye were gone, leaving only clumps of neat and top-notch green seedlings...

The villages and towns that were deserted and submerged in weed ruins also began to emerge under the fences and wooden fences with freshly colored branches and leaves, and curling smoke and vaguely crowing chickens and dogs.

When encountering farmers and women who went down the field by chance, they were basically not afraid of being a child or running around. They just turned a blind eye or were used to watching them pass by. When they got closer, they would stand up and look at them for a few times.

This made Li Mingzhen, who had been used to seeing the people fleeing in panic since the Western Army entered the pass, even if he could not escape, he was still shocked and cried endlessly. He had to admit it even though he was mixed with mixed feelings;

No matter how cruel and cruel the Taiping Army treated the gentry and the tyrants were, how cruel and cruel the military and civil servants of the old dynasty were, they were ruthless and cruel. However, the measures in governing and maintaining the people and resting were unprecedented results.

On the other hand, there are large construction sites that can always be seen every now and then. They are either building bridges and roads, building embankments and building blocks, or building a tall tower that looks particularly conspicuous and square building building.

However, unlike the people who were conscripted from labor service in the past, which showed a bit of stern and deadly construction sites; these civil servants who worked enthusiastically rarely showed a positive and enthusiastic side, and they were even working together while singing songs.

Although I have heard that these Taiping Army also like to build large-scale construction and exhaust their people's strength and think that they are laborious, why can these civilians work so vigorously? Is it some kind of demagogue?

With this obscure and unspeakable mood, Li Mingzhen finally arrived at the city of Chang'an; however, the team where his carriage was located paused again; then, naturally, someone conveyed the latest news to him:

"What? The last emperor of the old dynasty was in front of him, who was doing a tour to the local area. Therefore, the audiences who came from all directions blocked the road!"

At this moment, Li Mingzhen felt it became more and more incredible, as if everything in front of him seemed to be dreaming. You must know that this is the emperor of the previous dynasty! Shouldn’t you be strictly guarding the secret place and not just pulling it out in public?
