After Pei Min's rectification, Chang'an gradually restored its original prosperity to Chang'an, and shops on the streets reopened.

Teahouses and restaurants also gathered vendors who traveled around the world. Although the Central Plains fell into the hands of the enemy and the business roads were blocked. However, the more critical the moment, the less there were shortage of opportunistic vendors. They used various means to travel between Guanzhong and Central Plains.

In a wine shop in the suburbs, several travelers gathered together and talked about their own experiences.

"I heard that An Zhe is very cruel. He has an entourage named Li Zhuer. I heard that Li Zhuer has been with him for more than ten years, and An Zhe cannot live without him. However, An Zhe calls himself the emperor, and the important places in the harem cannot tolerate an outsider only. Guess what An Zhe did? He personally asked Li Zhuer to take off his pants, and gave him a knife to castrate Li Zhuer into a eunuch."

"General Guo Ziyi of Hedong is also a rare general in our dynasty. Gai Jiayun was extremely incompetent, and the rebels led by Shi Siming and Cai Xide were defeated. However, General Guo Ziyi had only two thousand remnants, wandering between Shi Siming and Cai Xide's 50,000 troops, treating them as monkeys, winning several victories, and the more soldiers they fought, it has now expanded to 15,000. On the contrary, Shi Siming and Cai Xide spent 30,000 to 30,000 to 50,000, which is really amazing."

"If you want to be awesome, it must be our Wuwei County Prince. He single-handedly asked the Uighur Prince to kneel down and beg for mercy. The rebels were arrogant. As soon as the prince came back, he immediately got out of Guanzhong and took back Tongguan. I believe that it won't be long before he will wipe out the An thief and give me a bright world of Tang Dynasty."

...

They either denounced An Lushan for being unrighteous, or praised the performance of the outstanding general of the Tang army, and the atmosphere was warm.

Suddenly, a man in blue said mysteriously: "I have heard of some news about the Prince of Wuwei."

He deliberately stole the voice and looked strange, which attracted the attention of the public.

"The Wuwei County Prince's Army is unparalleled, and he is the best military tycoon in the world. How terrible and powerful the Western Arabs are? They can't afford to fight against him. The Lion King turned into a cat and was killed by the Prince. According to common sense, it is easy to deal with the rebels. But he still does not move his troops in Chang'an, which is said to be a big problem."

“What’s the problem?”

"I heard that the Prince of Wuwei may have a disobedient heart. He is not in a hurry to defeat the thief and is not moving in Chang'an, just intending to win people's hearts..."

The man in Qing wanted to say something else, but found that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

The whole winery was already silent.

One by one, the drinkers looked at themselves with angry eyes.

The owner of the wine shop was happily calculating the accounts, but at this moment, he held up his calculations and rushed out and said, "Get out, I won't do your business. The Prince of Wuwei saved the people of Chang'an City. How could you let such a villain who doesn't distinguish right from wrong be slandered?"

The person who spread rumors and caused trouble was so scared that he was disgusted and rolled and crawled away.

The drinkers applauded the wine shop owner.

The man in green ran into the alley in a terrifying state, not breathing a sigh of relief.

A sack fell from the sky and put him up...

Wuwei County Prince's Mansion!

Pei Min was dealing with Guanzhong affairs in the Prince's Mansion as always, but unexpectedly heard Gongsun Xi's angry voice in his ears, "It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!" He looked up and saw his sister-in-law coming angrily, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Gongsun Xi said: "In these few days, there are people rumored about their brother-in-law in Chang'an, saying that their brother-in-law is in charge of Chang'an and keeps his troops in order to win people's hearts and intend to learn from Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, and make ill plans. I'm so angry that I don't let me catch the mastermind, let me catch it, and I have to tear his mouth apart."

When Pei Min heard this news, he was not surprised. Instead, he smiled knowingly and asked his left and right hands Zhang Jiuling and Li Mi, saying, "Zi Shou, Changyuan, what do you think about this?"

Zhang Jiuling sighed slightly, "Someone can't sit still."

Li Mi was shocked and said, "This is to use rumors to make Pei Shuai leave Chang'an. Pei Shuai controls Chang'an, which is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the court. Only when Pei Shuai leaves Chang'an can they have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The man has a certain amount of troops in his hands. If his subordinates are not wrong, they understand the troops in Pei Shuai's hands and know that once Pei Shuai goes to war, he will have no extra troops to stay in the capital of Chang'an. They can take advantage of the situation and control the capital of the capital with the military power in their hands. It would be better if they could control Tongguan. They would be able to turn Pei Shuai away from the rebels and Tongguan, and they would be able to make a good plan. Of course, it is not ruled out that the rebels intend to distract Pei Shuai and the court. It is just unlikely that Pei Shuai's relationship with the current "Court" does not need to be distracted at all."

Gongsun Xi understood and said angrily: "It's the hateful King Zhong again. He has no ability, but he has come to slander his brother-in-law... Humph, don't think about it. He can slander his brother-in-law? Those who spread rumors have not yet waited for my people to punish him, which has already made the people of Chang'an curse him so much."

Zhang Jiuling couldn't help but sigh again: "Right and wrong, it is free to the hearts of the people. The conspiracy and chaos of the loyal king may be deceived for a while. After all, the net of heaven is vast and unresolved without any leakage, but it will only cause self-destruction."

Originally, he had only had no evidence to doubt Li Heng and Zhang Jiuling, but now he is clear about the right and wrong.

Zhang Jiuling said: "It is not a solution to just keep a stalemate like this. The rebels are the most unpopular. If the matter is not solved at this time, delaying will lead to changes in the people's hearts. And it is also the most critical point. We have less surplus food. If we continue to consume it, we may not be able to afford it."

Guanzhong is the country of Tianfu, but the country of Tianfu cannot withstand many people.

The grain production in Guanzhong has always been in short supply, and grain from Jiangnan and Huainan areas needs to be transported to Guanzhong through the canal transportation.

An Lushan occupied Luoyang, and the water transport road was blocked, so the grain could not be transported naturally.

Previously, Li Yan fled west, the rebels captured Chang'an, and the granary in Guanzhong was looted.

Now the grain they use is all supplied by Longyou. Where can Longyou’s grain meet the needs of Guanzhong?

Pei Min was stunned and said, "I have ignored this. Fortunately, Zishou reminded me, otherwise I would miss the big thing. How much food is left?"

Zhang Jiuling said: "Battle to last for one month!"

Pei Min thought for a while and said, "It's enough, I'm waiting for someone. As soon as he moves, I'll move. You can arrange it immediately and notify the officials in Jiangnan. Don't think about the grain transportation in the short term. Let Jiangnan pass the Xiangfan Water Road and enter the capital from Wuguan. In extraordinary times, let them overcome it as much as possible."

Zhang Jiuling went down to do it immediately.

Li Mi said: "Will Pei Shuai wait for Geshuhan's Jiedu?"
