War is a competition of all resources.The competition of all resources such as soldiers, weapons, food, equipment, talents and so on.Without food and grass, even if Liang Rui didn't know how to march and fight, he knew that this battle could not go on.On the second day, Liang Rui announced his withdrawal, and he did not dare to confront Liang Xin head-on until he had raised food and grass.

March two days.Liang Rui and his Shandong rebels rested in Dakoudian first.Dakoudian is a market between Xi'an City and Linjiang County.In the past, this place was very prosperous, but when the Shandong rebels passed by here before, they had already swept away the supplies here, so at this time, Dakoudian was lifeless and desolate.

While the rebels were resting, Liu Sheng sneaked into Yao Shuigen's room again.After seeing Yao Shuigen, Liu Sheng said: "General, how are you thinking about the matter I mentioned to you two days ago? If you don't give me an answer, my master may not be able to wait."

Yao Shuigen walked to the door, opened it, looked around, and saw that no one was there, so Yao Shuigen closed the door with confidence, then enthusiastically pulled Liu Sheng to sit down, poured him a cup of tea himself, and said, "Brother Liu, what is your master saying?" Can you count it?"

"Of course. My master is a distinguished person who is highly valued by the current emperor. He has never slipped a word when he speaks." Speaking of his master, Liu Sheng looked proud.

Yao Shuigen nodded slightly after hearing this, he pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Brother Liu, I'll do it. But I want to meet your master. Otherwise, I don't feel at ease."

"Is it because you are worried about whether the promise can be fulfilled after the event is completed?" Liu Sheng said jokingly.

Yao Shuigen smiled awkwardly, expressing his acquiescence to Liu Sheng's words.Liu Sheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, okay. It is definitely impossible for my master to come to see you now. But he wrote a letter for me to pass on to you, come here. Open it and have a look yourself."

Yao Shuigen took the envelope and opened it. After taking out the letter paper, he looked at Liu Sheng with some embarrassment and said, "That... Brother Liu, I can't read. How about you read it for me?"

"Ah?" Liu Sheng laughed suddenly. He didn't expect that a core leader of an army of more than 20 people could not read a single word.Liu Sheng shook the letter paper and said simply: "This letter is written to you by my master, it is mentioned in the letter that once you surrender with your left army, in the future he will ask the emperor to invite you to be a Captain Xiaoqi." Official position, that is a high-ranking official of the fifth rank. General, you are about to rise to the top."

Liu Sheng excitedly said to Yao Shuigen: "Look, General, here is my master's inscription and seal, so you won't be afraid of him cheating, right?" The expression on Liu Sheng's face seemed to be more excited than Yao Shuigen's.

Yao Shuigen was also infected by Liu Sheng's emotions for a while, and his heart was agitated.He carefully put away the letter, and then asked Liu Sheng: "When will we start making trouble?"

"This will have to wait for my master's notice, but don't worry, it's just a matter of a day or two." Liu Sheng replied lightly.

Yao Shuigen nodded, and then said: "Brother Liu, you see that we are all eating from the same pot now, can you tell me who is your master?"

Liu Sheng nodded with a smile, and said solemnly: "My master is the current admiral of Xichang, well-known to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the emperor's royal seal of rebellious general, loyal Hou Liang Xinliang."

The series of names on Liang Xin confused Yao Shuigen.He didn't understand what those titles meant, but he could intuitively feel that Liang Xin was an awesome big shot.

The words are divided into two ends.Let's talk about Bianjing.The Imperial Guard who couldn't stand Ma Chaoyun's various temptations finally flew all the way to Bianjing with Ma Chaoyun's letter.According to Ma Chaoyun's instructions, he first handed over the letter to Cai Jing, who immediately entered the palace to meet the emperor after receiving the letter.

Inside the Imperial Study Room of Yanfu Palace.When Zhao Ji saw the letter, he was furious. He threw the dragon-pattern inkstone on the table to the ground, and cursed: "Liang Xin! You are so brave. How dare you resist the decree and detain the minister who delivered the decree privately?" , I will push you out of the Meridian Gate and behead you!!!"

"Report—" There was an urgent cry from outside the door.Zhao Ji was taken aback for a moment, he was already in a bad mood when he encountered someone so unruly, he immediately became angry and opened his mouth and shouted: "Get out!"

"Bang!" The door was pushed open, and a round body rolled into the imperial study.The words of the Son of Heaven are the imperial decree, he let people get out, if you walk in, it is a violation of the decree.

Zhao Ji took a peek, and then he realized that the person who rolled in was Wei Lanjiang, the deputy privy secretary of the Privy Council.Zhao Ji frowned and asked, "What happened? It's really out of place for a dignified second-rank official to panic like this."

"Report to the Holy Majesty. Mingjiao Fangla rebels in Qingxi County..." Wei Lanjiang swallowed, "Called here."

"Called?" Zhao Ji didn't react for a while, and after thinking about it, he exclaimed: "What did you say? The Fangla rebels are calling? They are only tens of thousands of people. How can the local garrison not even have those tens of thousands?" Can no one stop it?"

"Your Majesty, it's not tens of thousands of people. When the Fangla rebels started an incident, all the bandits from Qingxi County to Bianjing all responded one after another. Together, no one can stop them." Wei Lan Jiang said in a panic.

After Zhao Ji heard the news, he suddenly felt top-heavy and his body swayed. Cai Jing, who was standing behind him, hurriedly supported Zhao Ji.

Cai Jing first persuaded Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, please pay attention to the body of the dragon." Then he turned his head and said to Wei Lanjiang: "Pass down the order, and immediately transfer all the troops along the road back to Bianjing, so that Fang La will rebel against the bandits." Destroy them one by one. In addition, step up the repair of the Bianjing city wall, and we will fight to the death with the Fangla rebels in this Bianjing city!"

"Yes!" Wei Banjiang replied while looking at Zhao Ji.There was something wrong with Cai Jing's order. Although it could temporarily guarantee the safety of Bianjing, wouldn't the cities along the way be handed over to Fang La's rebels? "

Seeing Wei Lanjiang looking at him, Zhao Ji shouted angrily: "Why are you still standing there, hurry up and do what the grand master said! Immediately transfer all the garrison troops back to Bianjing."

"Yes! My minister obeys the order." With Zhao Ji's order, Wei Banjiang immediately went down to carry it out.

After suffering a double blow, Zhao Ji hated Liang Xin to the bone.He turned around and kicked the desk down, shouting: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, I will kill you all one day!"

In the city of Xi'an.Liang Xin frowned and his face was a little heavy. What he held in his hand was the news that Xichang had just delivered.The news explained the Mingjiao's march to Bianjing, as well as the latest response order issued by the emperor.

Seeing that order, Liang Xin was almost not so angry that he spurted blood.His original plan was to fight the Shandong rebels quickly, and return to Bianjing immediately after solving the matter here, and then settle the Mingjiao matter.

But now Zhao Ji's response completely disrupted his layout.At that time, the Mingjiao will drive straight into Bianjing, and the whole city of Bianjing will be besieged, then this time the incident will really become a big deal.

Liang Xin took a deep breath to suppress the pressure and boredom in his heart, and he called out: "Come on, go and invite Bai Lao here."

"Yes! General." The guarding soldier outside the door responded and went to Bai Lao.After a while, Bai Lao came over, Liang Xin opened his mouth and asked, "Bai Lao, how is the matter with Yao Shuigen?"

Bai Lao nodded and said: "My lord, I was going to report this matter to you. Yao Shuigen has already agreed to surrender. Now I'm waiting for your order from my lord."

"Okay." Liang Xin squinted his eyes, and there was a flash of determination in his eyes.He got up and said, "Send an order to march immediately to pursue the Shandong rebels. Also send a message to Yao Shuigen, asking him to wait for my signal tomorrow night and respond immediately."

In the middle of the night.Many lieutenant generals worked in Yao Shuigen's camp.These generals often drink with him, eat meat, gamble and prostitute with him on weekdays, so they absolutely follow Yao Shuigen's lead.

Yao Shuigen frankly told everyone present that he was going to be recruited by the imperial court. The people present had already been disturbed by the loss to Liang Xin.

There was no food and grass in the army, and the soldiers wailed, which seemed to be a sign of disbanding.After such a good time, they never wanted to go back to Shandong to beg for food, so when they heard that Yao Shuigen had a way to be recruited, the people present responded immediately.

Yao Shuigen made an agreement with them to have the same time every night.As soon as the signal is heard, let's fight together.All the generals agreed one after another.
