Outside the gate of the mansion, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums singing and dancing, as well as the sound of mixed footsteps.
Kong Sheng raised his head in shock, and Mu Changfeng smiled on the side: "Third brother, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the first day, it is estimated that the people in the city are dancing to drive away the plague god." ” Kong Sheng sighed and let out a long breath, unknowingly it was the end of the year and Chinese New Year's Eve, and after today, tomorrow will be the second year of Zhide.
After a slight groan, he immediately turned his head to look at Nie Chuchen, and said in a low voice: "Senior Sister Nie, you have to leave immediately, and I will let Wu Xianwu and the two escort you away."
Nie Chuchen saw Kong Sheng's deep gaze looking at the map hanging on the wall, and remembered Kong Sheng's secret conversation that day, so he nodded willingly, she was a pungent and resolute character, and she didn't drag the mud and water and said that she would leave.
Kong Sheng and Mu Changfeng sent Nie Chuchen, who had packed his bags, out of the mansion side by side, and his expression became more and more solemn when he saw Nie Chuchen and Wu Xian Wujie disappear into the empty street.
It's Chinese New Year's Eve.
He suddenly remembered that if there was no mistake in the historical record, An Lushan's death date would be these two days, and he knew very well in his heart that once An Lushan was replaced by An Qingxu, the battle situation in Henan Province would undergo major changes.
If we can seize this fleeting opportunity change, it is not impossible to turn the tide and reverse the situation in Henan Province.
As soon as he thought of this, his eyes lit up with unwavering light.
The sound of gongs and drums all day came from the other side of the street again, Kong Sheng turned his head to look, and saw a group of people singing and dancing, starting with eight small boys, wearing hideous masks, red cowhide drums bound around their waists, wearing red and black clothes, dancing and beating drums and gongs, following behind a wizard dressed in strange costumes.
Further back, there were dozens of men and women wearing festive flags.
Suiyang City in the war-torn season, Chinese New Year's Eve is quietly coming, because of war preparations and panic, this year's Spring Festival does not have a too strong atmosphere at all, if it were not for this dance team, I am afraid that many people, including Kong Sheng, have forgotten that today is Chinese New Year's Eve.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty people were very particular about celebrating the Spring Festival.
Before Chinese New Year's Eve, people should rush home as much as possible to reunite with their loved ones.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family gathers together for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and drinks peppercorn wine to ward off the cold and dampness.
After the reunion dinner, the whole family sits around the brazier until dawn, which is called "keeping the New Year".
The so-called "Arong family, the pepper plate has been sung to flowers"; The so-called "happy feast for this, pour the pot and wait for the dawn" and other poems are written about the scene of eating reunion dinner and celebrating the New Year during the Spring Festival.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they also have to visit relatives and friends and feast on each other.
This is not much different from the afterlife.
In short, all kinds of atmosphere, all kinds of procedures, all kinds of etiquette, all kinds of customs, because of the war, were forced to simplify, and the people in the city spontaneously gathered together to dance, which was nothing more than to have an auspicious celebration, and hoped that the rebels would not attack Suiyang in the coming year.
In this year, what hope can the common people have, living and working in peace and contentment or something too far away has become a luxury, as long as there is a little less war, can save the lives of themselves and their families in this troubled world, even if it is a blessing of luck.
Looking at the crowd of dancers, Kong Sheng sighed lightly, and was about to turn around and enter the house, but he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, glanced up, and saw three dusty soldiers whipping their horses, shouting pedestrians to avoid, and rushing towards the direction of the Yamen of the Taishou Mansion.
Kong Sheng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly walked towards the yamen of the Taishou Mansion.
Mu Changfeng frowned, and wanted to stop but kept his mouth shut.
Kong Sheng strode into the Yamen of the Taishou Mansion, and the guards stared at his elegant back with some fear, lowering his eyebrows and lowering his eyes, for fear of causing trouble for himself.
In the current Suiyang City, in the Suiyang garrison, Kong Sheng has simply become a "tyrant"-like existence.
Zhang Xun was gathering the crowd to listen to the intelligence reports of the various Tanma.
It should be said that Zhang Xun still has a set of methods in managing the army, and he planned the reorganization of the few Suiyang defenders into three battalions, an infantry battalion, a cavalry battalion, and an archery battalion.
And he attaches great importance to intelligence collection, with Suiyang as the center, after more than a year of operation, he has cast an invisible intelligence net, the changes in the surrounding state capital, can not hide his eyes and ears, Tanma will be at any time through hidden channels to transmit back the real news.
As soon as Kong Sheng entered the lobby, he felt several pairs of gloomy and hateful eyes projected on, he ignored it indifferently, walked straight to the hall and bowed to Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan on the stage, and then silently retreated to the side, standing on the edge of Nan Jiyun, quietly listening to the spies' military report.
The news of several spies was summed up, which probably meant that the rebels in various parts of Henan suddenly had a major change.
The 10,000 rebels stationed in Yongqiu, led by Ling Huchao, suddenly withdrew 8,000, leaving only 2,000 people to defend the city.
The strength of the rebel forces in the rest of the country also shrank greatly towards Guanluo, and some moved in the direction of Shannan.
Kong Sheng's heart moved, and it was obvious that this was the result of a change of power within An Lushan's Dayan regime.
In this way, An Lushan is finished, and there are still a few days left before the records of the history books, could it be because he has crossed and changed the details of the trajectory of the wheel of history, it must be As it turned out, he was not wrong in his judgment.
Three days ago, An Lushan suffered a poisonous sore attack and died at the hands of his confidant minister Yan Zhuang, which is slightly different from the historical record that he died at the hands of the eunuch Li Zhu'er.
Yan Zhuang and others supported An Qingxu to ascend the throne as emperor on the same day, An Qingxu was suspicious, in order to consolidate his power and the need to be emperor, he secretly ordered, in the name of An Lushan, to mobilize the rebels of Henan Province to the west to echo.
Hearing the news of the spies, Zhang Xunmei smiled happily and said, "Everyone, this is great news.
On the one hand, this shows that the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court is progressing smoothly, holding back the main force of the rebel army from advancing westward; On the other hand, it can only show that the rebels abandoned Henan Road and attacked Shannan instead, and we have no troops in Suiyang to worry about coming to the city for the time being. ” Nan Jiyun and others agreed that it was, and for a while, the haze in the hall went in, and everyone talked and laughed, and they all felt that Suiyang could be safe for a while.
Only Xu Yuan was a little suspicious, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to sweep Zhang Xun's interest.
"Lord Zhongcheng, the lower officials feel that the rebels from all walks of life in Henan Province are moving westward, not to attack Shannan and get involved in Jiangnan, but to shrink strategically, I am afraid that there will be any movement on the Luoyang side, and we have to guard against it."
Kong Sheng was like a fish in his throat and stood up to express his opinion.
This is not a personal matter, if it is because of Zhang Xun's personal judgment error that causes chaos in the Suiyang battle situation, he, as a subordinate official of Suiyang, will not be able to escape the blame.
Knowing his words, Zhang Xun couldn't listen to them, but he still had to say it.
Zhang Xun smiled indifferently and shook his head: "Kong County Order, you are too worried."

Most of Henan Province fell into the hands of thieves, and it was reasonable for them to covet the wealth of Shannan and Jiangnan and intend to go south to plunder.
It has been more than a year since Luoyang fell, and it is the base camp of the rebels over there, so what can I do?"
Kong Sheng smiled bitterly: "Lord Zhongcheng, the rebels are facing the approach of the two armies of the imperial court at this moment, how can they have the strength and mind to divide the troops in Shannan Jiangnan This is an illusion, we can't be confused by the illusion." ” In Kong's opinion, it is better to take advantage of the withdrawal of the rebels and lead the army to take the initiative to attack Yongqiu.
Yongqiu has hoarded a large amount of grain and grass for the rebels in Henan, and if we can raid and take Yongqiu, the shortage of grain in Suiyang will be greatly alleviated. ” Zhang Xun pursed his lips and waved his hand: "Attack Yongqiu Kong County Order, you are really young and vigorous, with our thousands of soldiers and horses in Suiyang, on the one hand, we have to defend the city, and on the other hand, we will divide our troops to attack Yongqiu, which is no different from sending them to death."
This official knows that you are dedicated to serving the country, but the situation is serious, and we cannot act rashly. ” Kong Sheng was just about to continue speaking, when he suddenly heard a sharp and gloomy sneer from the train opposite: "Kong County's order is really unashamed."
Yongqiu has the main force of the fox tide entrenched, and the city of Yongqiu is tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it can be easily taken, how can the rebels hoard grain and grass in Yongqiu" "Moreover, the spies' information may not be accurate.
If this is a ploy by Ling Fox Chao, deliberately evacuate 8,000 men and horses, lure us to attack Yongqiu, and then surround and annihilate them, all of us thousands of men and horses will be buried under Yongqiu City.
Kong County Ling proposed to attack Yongqiu at this time, what is his intention?"
The man was in his early thirties, thin, pale, and had two broken eyebrows hanging from the eyes of the owl, giving the impression of being sinister and cunning.
Kong Sheng glanced at him and knew that he was Zhang Guo, the cousin of the dead ghost Zhang Kui, and also Zhang Xun's cousin, one of the "commanders" of the cavalry battalion, and the right and left hand under the command of Nan Jiyun.
Zhang Guo's eyes when he looked at Kong Sheng were full of hatred, he didn't hide his hatred for Kong Sheng at all, and even brought it out between his words.
"I'm General He Juxin, Kong doesn't understand.
Now is the military intelligence meeting, as an official of the imperial court, a subordinate official of Suiyang, this official puts forward a personal suggestion, what's wrong" Kong Sheng's expression remained unchanged, and his voice was indifferent: "Lord Zhongcheng, I insist that this is a good time to attack Yongqiu and seize the grain and grass, the opportunity is fleeting, once you miss it, it will be too late to regret it." ” Zhang Xun frowned.
Zhang Guo preemptively sneered: "Since Kong County Ling took the initiative to propose to attack Yongqiu, and he is so confident, why don't you personally lead the army to capture Yongqiu for me to see, if you don't dare to go, you don't have to talk about it on paper in the hall anymore." ” Zhang Guo's method of agitation is actually very untechnical and very low-level.
Everyone understands that this is nothing more than ridiculing Kong Sheng, and if Kong Sheng doesn't have a long brain and takes the initiative to attack Yongqiu, it is the best in Zhang Guo's opinion, since he wants to die, then go, dying in the hands of the rebels is equivalent to avenging his cousin Zhang Kui. oshow7 t1706231537:
