Chapter 148: Great Avalanche

No snowflake is innocent when an avalanche occurs.

Yunchu had been looking forward to this big avalanche for a long time.

The saying that political power comes from the barrel of a gun was a wise saying in the era before Yunchu.

It is equally effective in Datang.

This is the essence of wise sayings, which can be traced back to five thousand years ago and can be precipitated ten thousand years later.

In the past, whenever the soldiers in Jinchangfang returned from an expedition with great victory or defeat, a sumptuous and delicious meal would be prepared for the soldiers, and the residents of Jinchangfang would spontaneously sing and dance to welcome them.

From that time on, Yunchu had been coveting Datang's armed forces.

However, after only a few years of work, Li Ji and others noticed something wrong with it, and it was stillborn.

In the past, people could easily die if they touched military power.

Now, Li Ji is dead, Li Zhi is seriously ill, and everyone in the court is busy carving up power. Yun Chu is ready to use the magic weapon of military and civilian unity again.

At least let these Fu soldiers from all over the world know that Chang'an people love Fu soldiers the most.

The most terrifying disaster in the world is military disaster.

If there are ways to resist the other disasters, after encountering the military disaster, the red land will be light.

When returning to the Wannian County Yamen, Lu Zhaolin and Yang Jiong did not follow him, so Yun Chu happily drank tea and read in his official residence.

As the evening approached, Chief Lu Xiu came back. As soon as he entered the door, he excitedly told Yun Chu how he led the common people to deliver food to the Jinwu Guards, and how the Jinwu Guards officers and soldiers ate the food they brought with gratitude. They used the blankets they brought to keep out the cold, and repeatedly assured them that they would listen to the superior's words and ensure that nothing went wrong.

"Sixteen guards, 80,000 soldiers and horses. If you have the ability to comfort every soldier of the guard, I will dare to lift the curfew in Chang'an and let Chang'an return to daily life."

Yunchu pretended not to notice Lu Xiu's excitement, but instead put higher demands on him.

"Your Majesty, it costs too much..." Lu Xiu was startled by Yun Chu's request and finally said awkwardly.

Seeing that the emperor's confidants were afraid of difficulties, Yun Chu encouraged him: "Don't embarrass yourself in the future, but pool your wisdom and trust your subordinates. They have been able to serve in Chang'an for so many years, so they are naturally superior. "

Lu Xiu nodded, saluted, and then exited Yunchu's official residence, closed the door, and went to convene a meeting with his staff.

Yun Chu picked up the steamed bun placed on the stove lid. The bottom of the bun was already browned. He broke it off and ate it slowly with tea. When the browned outer skin was finished, he put the bun on the fire again to bake. Bake one layer and eat one layer in this way. Eventually, the whole bun will enter his stomach in the most delicious form.

Li Shen drank a lot of wine, but found that the more he drank, the more sober he became. Taking a look at the entangled men and women, he opened the window, and immediately, the cold air filled the room.

The sun was almost setting, and the cold mist surged above the few walls of Chang'an City, as if it was about to swallow up the entire city.

That's actually not cold mist, but the smoke coming from people's homes making fires for cooking.

Li Shen, who originally thought about getting drunk to death, was filled with anger that he didn't know where he was coming from at this moment, causing him to yell heartbreakingly - Get out!

The sound was so loud that even drunk people were frightened to wake up, and a group of disheveled men and women fled out of the house in confusion.

Li Shen picked up a jug from the ground, shook it and found that there was still wine in it, so he drank it up in one gulp, threw the jug away, found a pipa from the ground, held it in his arms, and played it ding-dong-ding-dong. stand up.

A group of servants in green clothes and hats walked in from outside the door. They did not disturb Li Shen and just put the leftover wine and meat from last night into a bamboo basket.

The banquet last night was very sumptuous. There was no shortage of chickens, ducks, and fish. The drinkers did not eat much last night. There were still many whole chickens and ducks, and large pieces of meat were overturned. Fell on the carpet.

"There are also melons here..."

A clerk said to his companion.

"How about we eat it."

Immediately, the two clerks sat on the carpet and shared the melon.

Li Shen put down his pipa and found half a jug of wine and handed it to the clerk.

After nibbling the melon, the clerk wiped his dripping hands on the carpet and took it, pouring the wine from the jug into a wine jar.

Three people can obviously work faster than two people. Soon, the three of them have collected all the food and drinks in the huge hall.

Seeing the two clerks carrying the basket and about to leave, Li Shen said, "Aren't you coming to catch me?"

The clerk looked at Li Shen and shook his head and said, "We collect these leftovers and send them to the big canteen to make big pots of food for the labor force."

Li Shen frowned and said, "Lao Jun?"

The clerk said: "Yes."

"Use these leftovers?"

"They're all good stuff. There's a lot of chicken, duck, and fish in here. Just take it back and stew it with pickles or something, and it'll be a delicious meal. It's also rich in oil and water, and it's much better than the pig food eaten by the soldiers."

"The soldiers don't have food to eat?"

"While we were reorganizing the sect, many Shangguan officials were killed and arrested by the Baiqisi people. A large group of government soldiers were left unattended. The county magistrate ordered the gangtou army to cook, but Baiqisi refused, so our chief clerk mobilized The common people donated food to the soldiers. We brothers thought that the food donated by the common people was only rice and noodles, so we wanted to come here to collect more oil and water for them. "

Hearing that Baiqisi's people were busy killing the officers of the Sixteenth Guards, Li Shen shivered and said in a trembling voice, "Didn't Baiqisi go to arrest people elsewhere?"

The clerk said: "Those who were killed in the imperial city are bleeding like rivers, so how can they have time to care about the outside world?"

Li Shen took out a handful of golden melon seeds from his arms and handed them to the clerk: "Who is in charge outside the imperial city?"

The clerk held the golden melon seeds and said dullly: "Of course he is my county magistrate."

When Li Shen heard this, he immediately took out the money bag from his sleeve and put it all in the hands of the clerk and said, "Where is your county magistrate?"

The clerk said happily: "In the county government office."

Seeing the two young officials leaving happily, Li Shen pinched his thigh hard, and he screamed in pain, then he picked up the pipa and started playing it like a convulsion. The tune was out of tune, just to vent his anger.

It wasn't until two Baiqisi wearing high black crowns and scarlet cloaks with slumped waists and swords came into Li Shen's eyes that the pipa in his hand slipped weakly from his hand with a muffled sound...

The people from Baiqisi left, and Li Shen, who was pale-faced, fell down on the carpet and touched a wine flask from the ground. He wanted to take a sip of wine to calm down his shock, but unexpectedly, the wine in the flask had been taken away by the two clerks. It's all gone.

Li Shen, who was slumped on the ground, murmured to himself after a long while: "So, this king was blackmailed by Bai Qisi?"

Until dark, Yunchu did not leave his official residence. The situation was urgent, so he did not take off his armor. He just sat in his official residence without going anywhere or seeing anyone.

In fact, during this night, many people left Chang'an City, carrying all kinds of food and various things to keep out the cold, and entered the camp of the Sixteenth Guards.

In the early morning, Yong Wangxian came to Wannian County Yamen to find Yunchu.

As soon as he saw Yun Chu, he asked, "Are you ready to guard against the Sixteenth Guards?"

Yun Chu raised his head and glanced at King Yong Xian and said, "Did you just think of this now?"

Yong Wangxian said anxiously: "It's the fourth day. I thought one day was enough."

Yun Chu said: "The soldiers of the Sixteenth Guards are all loyal men. They all stay in their own camps and have never caused trouble to Chang'an."

When Yong Wangxian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Yun Chu and said, "Did you comfort him?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has sent me a very useful chief clerk. It seems that His Majesty has other instructions for you?"

Yong Wangxian nodded and said, "I am not allowed to leave the mansion within three days. Today is the fourth day."

Yun Chu was startled when he heard this. He looked at Yong Wangxian and wanted to speak. In the end, he opened and closed his mouth twice without making any sound.

When Zhang Jia came in to deliver water, Yun Chu asked, "How is the situation around Chang'an?"

Zhang Jia saw that the county magistrate asked Yong Wangxian in front of him, and then said in a trembling voice: "The sixteen scout horses sent by the younger one only came back to one place. He said there are government soldiers on the other side of Baqiao."

Yun Chu waved Zhang Jia to retreat. While removing his armor, he said to Yong Wangxian, who was shaking like a cold leaf in the wind, "How do you feel?"

King Yong said wisely: "Father, even I..."

Yunchu hung the armor on the shelf and said to King Yong Xian: "Go back to your palace and sleep. I'm going home to sleep too."

Yong Wangxian said: "I don't know anything, I only know one thing. Before you came back, the firearms of the Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an were taken away by the Ministry of War in the name of upgrading. I also heard that the Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an were conducting military exercises in the autumn. The various ordnance consumed was not replenished at night.

Even the army's food supply period was only five days. "

Yunchu sighed and said, "You should have told me."

King Yong said wisely: "This is a top secret in the army, how can it be leaked so easily?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I always thought that the general commanding the Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an was General Zuowuwei He Qi, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Yong Wangxian let out a long sigh and said to Yun Chu tiredly, "I'm going back to rest."

Yun Chu nodded and watched him leave.

After Yong Wang Xiancai left, Zhang Jia came in again and said: "The soldiers of the sixteen states in Guanzhong are around Chang'an."

Yun Chu nodded to express his understanding and asked Zhang Jia to leave.

At this moment, all the mysteries in his heart have been completely solved.

The moment the emperor launched Luoyang Blood Night, Chang'an Blood Night had already been prepared. Unlike the urgency of Luoyang Blood Night, the purge in Chang'an was much more secretive.

Luoyang is to the east of Chang'an, and Jiucheng Palace is to the west of Chang'an. The emperor actually had to pass through Chang'an when he arrived at Jiucheng Palace from Luoyang, the eastern capital. However, Yun Chu, who was left behind in Chang'an, had never heard of the emperor's arrival in Chang'an.

When the emperor's decree to settle in Jiucheng Palace came to Chang'an, Yunchu learned that the emperor was already in Jiucheng Palace.

This shows that the emperor passed by Chang'an without entering!

He arrived at Jiucheng Palace secretly.

Jiucheng Palace is three hundred miles away from Chang'an!

This distance is exactly the distance between the general manager's camp and the forward camp. It is a very safe war distance.

The imprudent emperor's edict to eliminate traitors, Zhou Xing, and Ruichun's imprudent anti-corruption actions were only intended to seduce the hearts of all those with evil intentions in Chang'an.

Yun Chu's heart felt cold, but cold sweat trickled down his back.

When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. As long as the snowflakes move, they will be killed in this big avalanche.
