The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 223 Cloudy
The rebel army is an official army that has undergone serious training by the court. Even if it encounters a regular official army, it is still capable of fighting.

Moreover, Ningping Town is one of the important border towns, and the guards are stationed with elite soldiers. These people brought their luggage and surrendered to the bandits, and their impact on Dayan was immeasurable.

"After Tan Yuesong returned to Zhao Quangui, he was made a general. In a few days, he captured five counties one after another. Yesterday, the governor's office of the Five Armies received an emergency military report. Zhao Quangui sent [-] bandit troops, with Tan Yuesong as the vanguard, and the troops were divided into three groups to attack Qin Jing."

Xie Xi no longer had the old smile on his face, and said with a serious face: "There was a severe drought in Guanzhong last year, and this year has not eased. Since the year before last, Ningping Town has been unable to maintain its military rations. This mutiny is precisely because of Tan Yuesong's army Rise up to grab food."

Although it was an extremely secretive military newspaper, Xie Xi obviously collected all the information and told Lin Zisu about the whole chaos in Guanzhong.

The land in Guanzhong is rich and the terrain is dangerous. It has been the granary of the imperial court in all dynasties.

Since the founding of Dayan, Guanzhong and Jiangnan have been responsible for half of the country's grain, and they are also the two most populous provinces in Dayan.

Years of droughts have made Guanzhong's food supply unsustainable, and it is already overwhelmed, and it is still waiting for the imperial court to allocate food.

However, when Beidi invaded, all the grain and grass allocated to Guanzhong by the imperial court were intercepted in Luyuan.

Ningping Township has been waiting for food for four months, but there is no sign of it.In the fury of the crowd, Tan Yuesong, the deputy commander of Ningping Town, led a group of soldiers to loot around and robbed the two big families in Ningping Town.

Those two big households had a close relationship with the general army of Ningping Town, and their influence in the area was deeply intertwined.

After getting the news, the commander-in-chief of Ningping Town sent troops to encircle and suppress.

However, the morale of the army was slackened. Under the instigation of Tan Yuesong, the officers and soldiers who went to encircle and suppress also turned their backs one after another, and the general soldier of Ningping Town died in the chaos.

Tan Yuesong did nothing but looted several neighboring counties, and then swaggered and took refuge in Zhao Quangui.

After getting the food and supplies, Zhao Quangui was like a tiger with wings added, and he came up with the idea of ​​Qin Jing, the Guanzhong government.

The capital of Qin Dynasty expanded to the northwest throat. Once Qin Jing was captured by the bandit army, the entire Guanzhong would fall into the hands of the bandits.

Lin Zisu's heart was getting heavier and heavier. She thought that if she saved the emperor, the chaos of the previous life would no longer exist, and Dayan would definitely not repeat the reincarnation of the previous life.

Unexpectedly, the Guanzhong Rebellion was much earlier and more difficult than the previous life.

Lin Zisu thought of the emperor she met in the afternoon, and it seemed that it was because of this that the emperor was determined to establish a reserve.

However, there seemed to be some incomprehension. Judging by the emperor's expression, it seemed that he didn't take this matter to heart. Otherwise, how could he be talking and laughing?

"I got the news from my father that the imperial court has appointed a new commander-in-chief of Guanning Town, and has dispatched [-] troops from the river to assist Qin Jing."

Xie Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Susu, you don't have to worry too much. Beidi has already retreated in the northern border, and Marquis Chang'an will be able to return to Beijing soon. Without Beidi's involvement, the people in Guanzhong Crowds of mobs can't make a difference."

"The important affairs of the court are for the adults to worry about."

Lin Zisu wrinkled her small face tightly, and sighed, "No matter how much I say here, it's nothing but worrying."

Dark clouds suddenly rose outside the window, covering the sky full of stars, and the ink-like night passed through the window and quietly seeped into the house.

There was a sound of clappers outside the window, and it was already four o'clock.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Xie Xi immediately changed the subject and said, "Susu, I have sent someone to check these two days. That second brother is really a treasure."

When Lin Zisu heard Xie Xi mention Lin Fangfeng, remembering that he had promised to go back to investigate, she thought it was just to comfort herself, but she didn't expect the result to come out so soon.

Seeing that Lin Zisu was interested, Xie Xi turned his body slightly, changed into a more comfortable posture, and said with a smile, "He has only been in Beijing for a few months? Unexpectedly, everyone in the south and north of the city knew about the Lin family The son's name."

Speaking of Lianglin Fangfeng, Xie Xi resumed his smirk, and continued: "I heard that he is a frequent visitor to the gambling stalls in the south of the city, and people often see him haunting the cockfighting grounds in the north of the city. Tsk tsk, cockfighting, abuse Bet, this is a bottomless pit, I have never heard that our family has tens of thousands of furniture, tell me, where does his money come from?"

Lin Zisu was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what Xie Xi meant by "our family".

She blushed and said in a low voice: "I guess it's Second Aunt's private money. I heard that Second Aunt's natal family has some money. I'm afraid I brought a lot of money with me when I came to Beijing this time."

Xie Xi shook his head and said, "Cockfighting, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling are not things that can be paid for with a few taels of silver. Your second aunt is a penny-pinching rooster, why would you give him money for entertainment?"

Lin Zisu thinks about it too, and she will tell her mother tomorrow to keep an eye on the storeroom at home, only to hear Xie Xi say again: "But this time I went to Tianxiang Tower, it was Qin Lu who invited him, but it didn't cost him money."

Lin Zisu noticed something unusual, and asked, "I remember that Qin Lu is the son of Shaoqing's family in Dali Temple. How can my second brother, He De, let Qin Lu treat him?"

"Yeah, I heard that Luhua, the oiran of Tianxianglou, can't get a date with many romantic talents in Beijing. I have been to Tianxianglou so many times, but I have never seen this Luhua."

Xie Xi smiled and said: "Your second brother is very lucky, so easy to get a chance to kiss Fangze, how about we meet this Luhua girl together some other day?"

Lin Zisu was inexplicably angry when he heard this, and he didn't know whether it was because of Lin Fangfeng or something else.

Originally, she wanted to ask why Qin Lu wanted to be so close to Lin Fangfeng, but now she lost interest.

Lin Zisu snorted, and said, "Okay, I see, fourth brother, you can go back, tomorrow I will ask my father to ask a good question."

Xie Xi still doesn't know how he offended Lin Zisu, the two of them were talking about each other just now, but suddenly they seem to be different people.

He stretched his neck, looked at Lin Zisu's face, and asked, "Susu, what's wrong with you?"

The candlelight in the room was like beans, and under the dim light, half of Lin Zisu's face was also hidden under the shadow of the curtain. Xie Xi didn't see it very clearly, and always felt that there was a trace of anger on Lin Zisu's face.

Lin Zisu glanced at Xie Xi, and said lightly, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Xie Xi scratched her head, not feeling anything wrong at all.After thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed getting late, so he got up and said goodbye to Lin Zisu.

Lin Zisu was inexplicably annoyed, listening to Xie Xi leave without saying a word.Only then did he lie down again, covered his head with the brocade quilt, and let out a low, inaudible growl.
