Therefore, Meng Kai, who has been taking turns to be in charge of various military camps and Jingzhao Mansion for more than half a month, can inevitably describe himself as thin and scattered, like a skinny lion. However, the glory in his eyes is still firm and determined, which naturally brings a sense of peace of mind and comprehensiveness to the people around him that everything is no problem:

"Did dozens of people escape from the camp last night? Don't they know that even if they escape home, they have nowhere to go? Forget it, if the arrested ones are still whipped and cane but no longer shackles, they will be sent to the city to wait for redeem by the school of sin!"

"Then use grain to continue to recruit young and strong people from the city. If the recruitment staff is not enough, please collect children according to the current household registration... Even if you can't go to the city, you can still get barricades and transport materials. The general way is that you can't let these young and strong people do nothing at their spare time...."

"What! The Political Affairs Hall once again rejected the request to send the three armies of the Dameni army to support it on the grounds that the north of the city is also tight? Some people persuaded the emperor to give up the south of the city one by one and give priority to ensuring the three armies?"

"The king also agreed to the soldiers to start evacuating the military and civilian family members? Is this the enemy's plan to get rid of all the defenses to the Taiping Army in Mingde Gate before entering the city? We have been through these days, so how can we lose our straits at this time?"

"I will also gradually hand over the grain and equipment in the hoarded city to me? It's a joke. What's the use of grain and equipment in the current situation? Why not send a few more old brothers who have seen blood in the formation! Otherwise, there would be a large group of raw melon seeds in the camp, and even the training and management staff would not be able to maintain it."

Meng Kai was dealing with the mountain of common affairs, complaining loudly or decisively, saying: At this time, a small school broke in and shouted:

"Meng Shuai, news came from Beiyuan outside the city, and the person who fled back to report the news was discovered. It was said that Xianyang City had been destroyed a few days ago, and I am afraid that no one will be spared from the Minister Zhao!"

"It's so damn..."

When Meng Kai heard this news, his face changed drastically, but he even broke the pen in his hand unconsciously, and the blood pierced his hand and dripped on the paper, fading away the bright red dots.

The next moment, Meng Kai faced Zhang Guibadao, the liaison officer invited:

"Although it's hard to say, I still beg you... Can you second 180 soldiers from your headquarters and temporarily serve as the united team for my new recruitment? "

"This matter is easy to discuss, it just takes some time to arrange it."

However, Zhang Guiba responded without hesitation:

Then a surprise voice shouted:

"Meng Shuai, Meng Shuai...but a reinforcements from the city rushed over and gathered together."

"It can be seen that it is that crew..."

Meng Kai couldn't help but say in surprise:

"It is said that it is the soldiers in the river east of the city..."

The visitor quickly said:

"What are they..."

Meng Kai frowned slightly when he heard this. Now the garrison in the inner city of Chang'an City can be roughly divided into several parts. The most elite and fierce battles are naturally the guards around Huang Wang. However, due to the damage and the draw of other battles, most of the institutions are now incomplete, and the ears are only over ten thousand.

Then, the newly promoted generals and You Yi envoys from all sides led the troops left after the imperial army was personally expedition. There were a few old soldiers of the rebel army as the main force, and a large number of members of the old official army and the Boat Group in the pass; but they were still in front of the enemy and were able to defend the three inner and west sides outside the Mingde Gate. There were about two or three thousand troops in the north of the city and three sides outside the Mingde Gate.

Then, under Meng Kai, who was the patrol ambassador of the gates, coordinated the situation in the city, and based on the patrol team rebuilt after the war in the pass, a large number of young and middle-aged people in the city were recruited to train them as united soldiers to maintain daily order and emergency maneuvers. There were about 10,000 people in the daily compilation, but most of them were new players who lacked training and experience.

Finally, there were a few "guest troops" with different sizes from vassal forces. For example, the Shaanxi Guo soldiers under the command of Wang Chongying, the brother of the Hezhong Jiedushi Wang Chongrong, the Fengtian soldiers under the name of Li Changfu, the Fengxiang Jiedushi Li Changyan, the Huaizhou soldiers led by Liu Jing, the general of the Heyang Jiedushi Zhuge Shuang, and some of the Duji soldiers who were left by Zhu Laosan, the Dongdu after the war.

However, King Huang was always quite cautious about the use of these guest soldiers and horses, and he and the generals were in charge of the same place to inspect and balance each other. How could he easily mobilize them to his own command as a mobile unit? The next moment he had already recalled his taste and his face changed drastically and shouted:

"No, come back soon, close the camp gate and be on guard..."

However, as soon as his order was passed, there were already fierce shouts of killing and fireworks rising rapidly from outside...

However, within the Mingde Gate, the largest city gate in Chang'an, there was a solemn atmosphere. In addition to the Taiping Advance Army soldiers stationed on the top of the city, there were thousands of local recruits and civilians, busy creating more trenches, barricades, whistle towers, and arrow towers near the rear city gate. It gradually connected the nearby fang area to form several stairs and camp fortifications that stood at the corner and were interconnected internally.

"There was a reply outside the city. Just a few days ago, the last group of evacuated people had arrived safely in Lantian County. It can be said that except for the saint of Empress Cao, most of our missions and goals for Chang'an have been completed now..."

Wang Xingkong, who was leading the army in advance, also said solemnly to the left and right on the snow-covered city:

"But the most difficult moment is coming. Maybe in the next moment, we will have to work hard all by ourselves."

"I can only fight to the death and do my best to serve you!"

The other generals and military academy present responded in a solemn and unanimous voice, and then became a more determined slogan:

"Build a mind for heaven and earth,

Make a life for the people,

To inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints,

To bring peace to the ages.”

Such echoing calls of "The Oath of Peace" continued to spread and spread among the defenders on the city, and then faintly reached the official army camp facing Mingde Gate, but each had its own feelings in my heart.

For example, the deputy ambassador Zhijie, who is currently in control of the Guiyi Army headquarters, recruited the command of Suoxun in Hexi; the Langzhou vassal envoy who was also Zhang Yichao's son-in-law from Guzang Li's family, and the Tongzhi Governor Li Mingzhen stood on the newly built watchtower and sighed to the left and right with mixed feelings:

". But we have lived in the western corner for a long time, but we don't know that there are such great ambitions among the Central Plains thieves; we really live up to our extraordinary demeanor!"

"Governor, I'm afraid I haven't known it yet. Now the Taiping thieves have all the Jiangnan thieves, and the fifteen states in Huainan have been newly merged. This is not the ordinary ambition of the thief army. It is the power of Yi Ding, which is the world's Yi Ding..."

But someone next to him couldn't help but speak:

"In contrast, although Huang's Da Nie who was trapped in this city was called Emperor Jianyuan, he was just a dry bone in the tomb with dull air..."

"So, even if we restore the capital, the Tang Dynasty in this homeland will really be... going to the end?"

Another subordinate said in surprise:

"It's hard to say whether it's over. However, according to the secret report in the city, the elite thief army in Mingde Gate was just a mere advance sent by the thiefs. I'm afraid that the ice and snow will fade after the spring will fade and the roads in Shannan will be reopened, so I'm afraid it's not a big attack."

The man continued to speak again:

"Then you know how many more things you have to say them all together."

Li Mingzhen, whose beard and beard were gray and straight, looked at him with a bright look:

"I don't dare to do this. It's really a big deal. I'll ask the governor to purify his side and keep his side from being suspicious."

But this man still insisted:

"They are all from my family or relatives who have been with me for many years. They will never disclose their privacy, and there is nothing to avoid suspicion."

Li Mingzhen said without hesitation:

"Donald Zhen still remembers the orphanage of the old commander (Zhang Huaishen) who was forced to die out of the outside world..."

The man hesitated for a moment before he started to speak again:

"So, can the descendants of Shenshou still be in the world?"

Another general next to him was a little surprised: After all, for Suoxun's actions to eliminate the roots, their old subordinates of the Zhang family were somewhat secretly raising their hands and putting water on their hands.

"After you have been traveling many times, you still cannot tolerate Sanchuan's journey. Now you are receiving shelter in the south..."

This talent said slowly:

"So, has the Taiping thieves already grasped the relationship and excuses of intervening in our Guiyi Army?"

Li Mingzhen quickly grasped the key point:

"It's not just that...Duke Zhen knows that after the Taiwei entered the capital, he gave birth to another daughter?"

This man smiled bitterly

"Now I am serving the Lord of the Peace, and I have just been pregnant!... This is the first one..."

When he heard this very explosive news, including the expressions of the generals present, the expressions of the generals present suddenly became exciting. The feelings that fought for the court to restore the Central Plains could actually be called out to a relative and brother-in-law! Then Li Mingzhen reorganized his thoughts and continued to ask:

"Can this be taken seriously?"

"Nature is truly true, and it has been widely known in all parts of the south...even if you can investigate it."

But this man sighed helplessly:

"This is so fucking... But Zhang is so lucky, why did he end up with everything out of thin air?"

Some of the generals present also complained.

"This matter ends here and cannot be heard by others... Why not blame our military law for being ruthless?"

However, Li Mingzhen suddenly interrupted their subsequent words and said to the person who spoke:

"You follow me to ask about something."

However, since they learned the news, the more they thought, they would have some speculation and suspicion. Could it be that the old man Zheng Tang insisted on and assigned the local strength of the Guiyi army to the south of the city? Isn’t it just to face the Taiping thief’s first attack? It seems that there are many speculations on the motivation and intention.

But no matter what, in the places outside the city where no one knows and behind the scenes, the Taiping Army's northern intelligence and enemy work system began to play some unexpected roles subtly. For example, in the subsequent Guiyi Army offensive in the south of the city, it became less vigorous and intense.
