As expected, Liang Xizong lived up to the expectations of the eunuchs. From the time he ascended the throne at the age of twelve, he spent most of his time on horseback riding, archery, sword dancing, Cuju, cockfighting, mathematics, music and gambling.

It wasn't until the age of nineteen that a failed private salt dealer named Huang Xianzhi led an army to invade Chang'an, causing him to flee in panic like a bereaved dog.

At this time, the court was basically controlled by eunuchs. Tian Lingzi was deeply loved by the emperor and was called "father". He could basically do whatever he wanted.

Many people think that the eunuchs of the Dasheng Dynasty were very powerful, but compared with the eunuchs of the middle and late Liang Dynasty, they were simply the younger brothers among younger brothers.

No matter how powerful the eunuchs of the Sheng Dynasty were, they were just dogs raised by the emperor and could be killed if they wanted. But the eunuchs of the Liang Dynasty might really depose the emperor.

With the support of the emperor, Tian Lingzi basically acted recklessly and lost the support of the people. He actually asked Jing Zhaoyin to directly rob all the goods in the East and West markets and put them into the treasury. Some of them were used for the emperor's amusement, while the other part was kept.

to yourself.

As for the ministers in the DPRK, there is basically nothing they can do at this time.

Although some ministers are still worried about the country, all the ministers who were impeached by Shangshu were basically killed by Tian Lingzi and Jing Zhaoyin. The remaining ministers must either protect themselves wisely or find ways to save the country. At this time,

The situation is hopeless.

As for Huang Xianzhi, he had experienced countless battles at this time. Although the Liang Dynasty had many chances to pacify, they were all ruined.

At this time, Huang Xianzhi finally led an army of 600,000 to Chang'an, which he had longed for.

…

Zooming in, Zhao Haiping found that he was possessed by a general.

He was wearing armor and looked heroic, but in the atmosphere at this time, there was still a sense of sadness.

"General Zhang Chengfan.

"The rebels invaded Tongguan, and General Qi had already retreated to Tongguan. At this time, he was short of military supplies and suffered from hunger and cold. He urgently asked the court to send reinforcements.

"His Majesty appoints you as the vanguard, General Zuo Shence Army, and orders you to lead the Shence Army to Tongguan to support!"

Zhao Haiping had met the man who came to appoint Zhang Chengfan, and he was one of the prime ministers in the previous court.

Zhang Chengfan accepted the order: "Yes!"

At this time, Zhao Haiping truly gained control of Zhang Chengfan's body.

"...Is it such a serious situation?"

The only doubt in Zhao Haiping's mind now is what is the goal of success.

Defeat Huang Xianzhi?

Dream on.

Huang Xianzhi now leads an army of 600,000, and then look at Liang Chaotang's pissing ability, he will be lucky if he can win.

If Tongguan can be defended for three hours, it will be considered a victory.

The gap between the two sides is really too big, and the key is that they have no soldiers at all. Even if General Han Fuyue and General Deng Yuanjing are reincarnated, they can't do much at this time.

Perhaps the goal of success is to defend Tongguan?

Zhao Haiping originally thought that many of the situations he faced in the previous dungeons were considered desperate situations, but now it seems that they were nothing.

This is the real desperate situation.

However, he still has the Shence Army at this time.

The Shence Army was just an ordinary border guard at the beginning, but later due to its bravery in combat and meritorious service in escort, it became the Emperor's Forbidden Army.

Later, due to the separation of vassal towns, the Liang Dynasty realized that it must directly control a powerful force, so it expanded the Shence Army. The Shence Army entered its heyday and officially became the Emperor's Forbidden Army.

In most people's first impression, the Shence Army is regarded as a powerful army second to none.

Of course, Zhao Haiping did not have high hopes. After all, Huang Xianzhi successfully captured Chang'an in history, and Tongguan did not hold out for much time at all. If the Shence Army was really so capable, it would not have even offered decent resistance.

But then, when Zhao Haiping inspected the Shence Army, he saw a scene he had never imagined.

There are less than 3,000 people in total, and they don't seem to be any elite troops. They are all ruffians, gangsters, scoundrels, and bankrupt farmers.

mob.

This is a no-brainer.

Zhao Haiping was stunned for a moment, and he grabbed a soldier with his hand.

"You are the Shence Army?! How can you be the Shence Army!"

As we all know, the Shence Army was almost the highest-paid army in the entire Liang Dynasty.

How can these ruffians and bankrupt farmers join the Shence Army?

The captured soldier panicked and hurriedly said: "General, spare your life! I, I am employed..."

The corners of Zhao Haiping's mouth twitched, and he instantly understood what was going on.

Shence Army is not without money, on the contrary, they are too rich.

These rich children from the capital had never been on the battlefield. They bribed the eunuchs and joined the Shence Army just because the Shence Army had high wages, good treatment, and had the support of eunuchs to do whatever they wanted.

When Huang Xianzhi's army came to kill them, these rich children all cried and paid a lot of money to hire some poor people to go to the front line in their place.

Zhao Haiping's face turned dark.

What a mercenary!

Looking at these three thousand people, and there is no reliable logistics at all, isn't this a proper way to send them off?
