In the eighth year of Tiance, Wang Pu's mission did not achieve the results Shi Chonggui wanted. Shortly after the beginning of spring, Fu Yanqing was ordered to go south to supervise the military affairs of the Central Plains. He integrated troops and horses from Kaifeng, Yingchang, and Chenzhou, and gained a total of five Thousands of people, and taking advantage of the slack farming season, except for singles, one from each household was selected, and 250,000 civilians were recruited for training. . . Different from previous free recruitments, this time Fu Yanqing brought a promise from Zhang Mai, promising that all the selected families would receive a one-year agricultural tax exemption. Therefore, although this recruitment was compulsory, it did not cause any negative social consequences. Influence. Many people did the math and felt it was a good deal, and they were quite active in participating. If Zhang Mai hadn't calculated the food and grass carrying capacity, and only limited it to 250,000 people, in the end, he would have far exceeded this number.
The 250,000 people were led by 2,500 auxiliary leaders sent by Tiance. They were divided into teams of 100 people. It took a month to teach them to act and obey orders, and another month to teach them to obey orders. They were able to advance and retreat with the army. In the past two months, 50,000 brave ones were selected and given weapons, while the rest cut bamboo wood into spears.
Regardless of their weapons, equipment or training level, in Zhang Mai's mind, these people are still far from actually going to the battlefield. But in the eyes of many people during the Five Dynasties period, such manpower could already be called "soldiers".
The scale of this operation was so large that the world looked at him with suspicion. Everyone knew that Zhang Mai was going to attack Luoyang.
Although there is Tiance's military and political system as a support, it involves the dispatch of hundreds of thousands of people, but Fu Yanqing can arrange it in an orderly manner. The coordination ability on this scale is beyond the reach of a brave general like Zhe Deyi.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
By March, spring is over and the summer harvest season has not yet come. The folk proverb goes: "When the wheat begins to yellow, hunger will break your heart!" It refers to this time.
At this time, no one in the world dares to act rashly. Shi Chonggui and his subordinates also thought that Zhang Mai would probably wait until after the summer harvest. Only then will they raise troops and go south. Unexpectedly, at this moment, waves of troops came down from Yanjing one after another.
In the second half of last year, after the military grain shortage was solved, Zhang Mai did not continue to transport Zhao Zan's grain stored in Dengzhou to the north. Instead, he set up warehouses along the canal to provide food for traders. So starting from October last year, business travelers going up and down the canal no longer need to bring their own food. There is a customs office, which means there is a military town, and there is a military town, which means there are warehouses. This is good governance. Others have seen it. Didn't expect anything.
The grain sold to merchants from warehouses along the route is always a bit higher than the normal price. But that¡¯s okay, it¡¯s still more cost-effective than bringing your own food all the way from home.
The customs will block business flow, and crowds will gather here temporarily. There are no thieves near the military town, and the public security must be the best. In addition, there are warehouses and supplies, so the triangle area between these three places will naturally It forms a market. With the market, profits are generated in less than a month or two. These places form a radiation force on the surrounding areas. All kinds of materials, including food, from the surrounding areas are concentrated here. The storage areas sell food to business travelers and purchase food from the surrounding areas. Last year was known as the year of military disaster. Warehouses are tight, but the people actually still have a surplus of food. Especially for large households in townships and counties, which household does not have three to five years of reserves?
??Except for a few major famine years when there was absolute food shortage in history, whether food is tight or not is sometimes a matter of public psychology. If the situation becomes tense, families will cover their barns tightly. As a result, the more this happens, the more "food shortage" the whole society will have, and it may even trigger a civil uprising! Have you ever seen so many peasant uprisings? At some stage, there will always be situations like "robbing the rich to open warehouses" or "giving food to the poor". It can be seen that no matter how severe the famine is, there will always be food stored, otherwise there will be no warehouses to open. ?
Now that the situation is improving, the Tiance government can actually sell food to business travelers, so what else is there to be afraid of? As the news spreads, grain prices in Hebei are on the trend of falling. Large households are not just waiting to have their grains go moldy. As the saying goes, buy when the price rises and sell when the price falls. If it looks like it is going to fall, it is better to sell. Although it is not necessary to clear the warehouse and exchange for money. But there is also an endless stream of grain flowing to the "commercial warehouses" along these canals.
Now is the beginning of troubled times, and business flow has just begun. Everyone will think that "prosperity" is compared with the previous troubled times. The absolute number of merchants is actually far from being comparable to the prosperous times of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The absolute consumption of business travel is actually not much, so Two months after the establishment of these commercial warehouses, the grain reserves did not decrease, but increased.
By mid-February of the eighth year of Tiance, after Zhang Mai saw the data stored in various places, he issued an order announcing the end of the Yanjing reorganization.
This time Yanjing's military reorganization, in addition to those elite numbers, after mixed training, a total of 157 military offices, excluding elite numbers, were formed, with a total of 157,000 people gathered. On the ground now known as the Yanjing area, now that the general reorganization has ended, the generals of each army rushed to the key military units according to previous arrangements.? area. Only 30,000 people remained in the Yanjing area.
Since the soldiers and horses marched from all directions, they did not cause much uneasiness to all parties under the spotlight. Almost most people did not notice that among them were soldiers from the Fifty-seven Prefecture, heading south along the canal to the Central Plains. The target is pointed at the Yellow River!
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Nowadays, the rules of the canal have been formed. Ships coming down from the north must go to the west line, and ships going up from the south must go to the east. In other words, all ships must keep to the right, and overtaking is only allowed in free areas. Large vessels are also not allowed so as not to impede traffic.
For now, this order is enough to ensure the smooth flow of business in the entire Hebei region at this stage, but in the long run, bulk commodities traveling through the canal will not only have to be divided into small boats for shipment, but also have to go through more than 20 centimeters of customs duties, which will cost a lot of money. We are bound to face a bottleneck.
But the troop transport boat has no such concerns.
A long and narrow troop transport boat designed like a dragon boat can carry twenty or thirty people, and forty small troop transport boats can transport a mansion. They were not allowed to go ashore until they arrived at the military towns along the line. After landing, they ate directly in the military towns. They had to stay in camps in the military towns at night and were not allowed to go out. But every five days, you can have half a day to hand in your weapons and go to the market to relax under the supervision of the superior.
So after mid-February of the eighth year of Tiance, merchants on the canal saw such a strange scene: countless troop transport boats drifting down from the north end to end, with a leader or deputy at the helm on each ship. , two people hold the pole - the sergeants on the ship take turns operating it. Everyone else was sitting neatly on the boat. It was impossible for everyone to keep their backs straight and their eyes and noses and minds to watch during the journey of thousands of miles. But I just looked around at the scenery along the river. From Yanjing to Baima, except for accidents such as ship leaks, no soldiers disembarked from the ship halfway!
This was a great experience for the merchants and residents along the route who were accustomed to "fighting like a wash". The military style and morale of the Tiance Tang Army was also spread through this unique march. In the eyes of Chinese people of this era. After these few months of reorganization, the discipline of these new soldiers has become extremely good - at least compared to this era, it is surprisingly good.
Strict military discipline, normal transportation capacity, and well-prepared reserves for reception along the way made this march incredibly low-cost, and it caused no harassment to the people along the way. This even made this month the safest on the entire section of the canal. In this era, this is easy to say, but everything is based on the four words "orders and prohibitions", which Shi Jingtang would never have been able to do at the beginning.
The boats moved neither fast nor slowly, and the first group of people arrived at the Yellow River fifteen days later.
After this group of people walked half the distance. Tiance's elite troops suddenly came south from the land route, and in the center of the cavalry was Zhang Mai's banner!
Seeing that this big banner is difficult to move, everyone in the world realizes¡ª¡ª
The fight is about to begin!
No matter whether Tiance's elite are on foot or on horseback, everyone is marching in Pingchuan, Hebei Province, so the large troops are coming so quickly!
The army going south relied on three thousand dragons and iron armored troops as the backbone of the cavalry. The battle ax formation of three thousand Modao is the backbone of the infantry, and the three thousand eagles are on the left. Three thousand sweats and bloods are on the right, and there are two vanguards - Yang Xin's three thousand cavalry are the left vanguard, Zhe Cong's three thousand cavalry are the right vanguard, and Wei Fei's three thousand cavalry are supporting the various routes. The elite troops displayed in the Yanjing Military Parade were already halfway through!
If we say that the soldiers and horses of the fifty-seven prefectures heading south from the canal were marching in a low-key manner. So these 35,000 elite cavalry marching south were so high-profile that it was earth-shattering!
The seven tribes have 35,000 horses and 10,000 riders, plus 10,000 logisticians. Each man has two war horses and one load-bearing horse. The prefectures and counties along the way are only responsible for the supply of fodder. Forty-five thousand men and horses dispatched a total of nearly 150,000 horses!
The onlookers could only see the smoke and dust billowing from the front and back, and could not tell how many people there were. All in all, no one doubts the army of 100,000 people, and some people believe it when it comes to millions of troops.
On the third day of March, Zhang Mai¡¯s banner appeared at Baima Ferry!
Luoyang was still caught off guard in shock, but the entire Central Plains was already shaken!
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
When Zhang Mai went south, Fu Yanqing also sent his troops to the west, with Zhe De's troops as the vanguard. Fu Yanqing's fifth brother, Fu Yan, could lead 30,000 people to guard Kaifeng and be responsible for logistics. The remaining 270,000 horses took the Bianhe River waterway, which was a mighty force. They marched towards the northeast, just like the army going south, their target was Zhengzhou!
Zhengzhou is the gathering place of the northeastern and southeastern sections of the canal. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, all grain and fodder shipped to the east and west capitals have been gathered here. The most important warehouses in Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties were usually located here.
Zhengzhou is also the westernmost part of the plain in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. Going west from here is Luoyang, which was designated as the eastern capital in the Zhou, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties.
After Zhe Deyi went south to occupy Kaifeng, his generals kept clamoring to advance into Zhengzhou, but Zhang Mai issued an order not to allow them to enter Zhengzhou. Therefore, Zhengzhou has become a buffer zone between the Tiance regime and the Shi Jin regime in the past few months, and the two sides have been able to have a "peace period" for more than half a year.
On the fifth day of March, Zhe Congshi and Zhe Deku met at the foot of Zhengzhou City. The two of them were about the same age, and looked more like brothers than uncles and nephews. Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they just smiled knowingly on the battlefield, and then the two folded flags fluttered to the west, making a hunting sound, showing off their power under the city of Zhengzhou!
The Central Plains to General of the Prime Minister and the trafficking to the vendors and trafficking. Everyone knew that Zhang Longyi would go south, but he did not expect that he would not move, and it would come so fast as soon as he moved!
Although Zhengzhou is still under the control of Shi Jin's regime in the past few months, no one inside or outside the city thinks that this situation can last long. What is in front of them is the elite of Tiance, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops behind them. As a How to resist the plain city? What's more, the Tiance regime has won the hearts of the people all over the world, while Shi Jinze has long been despised by the world. It's just a devil that the state officials are willing to defend meaninglessly in this situation!
Before the six thousand cavalry arrived at the city, the flags were changed at the top of the city, and the city gate opened with a bang! One of the state officials and the general held the seal, the other took off his helmet, and they went out together.
Zhe's uncle and nephew looked at each other and laughed loudly together.
Only two people took over the city defense. News came from Yang Xin that he also easily drank Xingyang, another important town in Zhengzhou.
Zhe Deku said to his uncle: "Shi Chonggui knew in his heart that Zhengzhou would definitely not be able to be defended, so he gathered all his troops and horses at Sishui Pass. Now we have taken Zhengzhou, and Uncle Yang has taken Xingyang. The two sides are at odds with each other." Shang Xia, why don't I set out overnight and take the Sishui Pass. Only then can I see some extraordinary achievements."
Sishui Pass is the famous Hulao Pass. It was renamed in the Tang Dynasty to avoid the taboo of the great ancestor Li Hu. It is the most important barrier to the east of the Luoyang Basin. Once the Sishui Pass is secured, Luoyang will become a completely exposed city.
Zhe Congshi said: "It is easy to get ambushed by sending troops overnight. We are the vanguard. Now there are hundreds of thousands of troops behind us pushing forward step by step. We can definitely win this battle. There is no need to take risks."
Zhe Deqing smiled and said: "There is no danger at all. Zhang Congbin, the guard of Sishui Pass, has been secretly communicating with me since the day I occupied Kaifeng. This time he heard that we were marching. He even sent a letter early in the morning. , just wait for me to arrive and switch on and off. So it is said to be a night attack, but in fact it is just a surrender in the past."
Zhe Congshi also smiled and said: "If that's the case, then it doesn't matter. Yang Xin and I are as close as brothers. Our Zhe and Yang families will be friends for a hundred years in the future. We should all benefit from such a good thing. There is no need to stand up for this." It¡¯s not good to be in the limelight.¡±
"That's what my uncle said." Zhe Deqing said: "If that's the case, why don't we inform Uncle Yang and let the three armies join forces to win the battle overnight?"
Zhe Congshi smiled and said, "You can have this!"
Immediately, someone was sent to Xingyang to inform Yang Xin. After the follow-up troops arrived to take over the city, the three cavalry continued to set off regardless of dusk. After dark, they lit torches, like three fire dragons meandering westward. It was really spectacular!
The strongholds encountered along the way are fortified. Either flee or surrender, the three lines of cavalry are like entering uninhabited territory! As the saying goes, capture two cities in the day and kill eight villages in the night! It was no exaggeration at this time, and with almost no effort, the three cavalry units arrived outside Sishui Pass at 2:00 am.
Zhang Congbin, the guard at Sishui Pass, had already received the news. Although he had secretly flirted with Zhe Deyi for a long time, when the matter came to pass, he still hesitated. He mobilized all the generals and said: "Tiance's army is coming! I have been entrusted by your Majesty with the important task of holding the last door of Luoyang." , wanted to fight to the death for the country, but life and death in the war were unpredictable, but they were afraid of dragging down you and others. The Tang army was invincible and invincible. At first, with a small number and a large number, the three families of Liao, Jin, and Shu were besieged and could not get any relief. The entire Liao Dynasty was defeated like a mountain. Not to mention that today we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. I heard that Zhang Longxiang is going south this time. Behind these three elite cavalry, there are four to five million troops pushing forward step by step. Sishui Although the pass is dangerous, how can it be resisted? What do you think we should do? Please come up with some good strategies."
A general shouted: "Everyone knows that Fu Yanqing has sent 300,000 people to Kaifeng. On the other side of Yanjing, I heard that there are also hundreds of thousands of people heading south, and they are all elite soldiers. The other four sides We have an army of 500,000 people, but we only have 30,000 or 40,000 troops in the pass. We have fewer people than others and are weaker than others. How can we fight this battle?"
Another general said: "Yes, and the news has gone crazy recently, saying that as soon as Zhang Longxiang arrives, he will be tax-free in the first year. This is what he has implemented in Hebei and Shandong. Now the brothers in Sishui Pass, who Are you still willing to sacrifice your life for Luoyang? If you really defend, I'm afraid that when the drums sound from the opposite side, we will lose all our armor."
Another generalSaid: "Besides surrendering by switching on and off, what other good ideas are there?"
Zhang Congbin said: "If you surrender without fighting, I will only make the world laugh."
All the generals said: "It's a joke to still fight when you know you can't defeat us."
Another general said: "Now everyone in the world knows that Zhang Longxiang is the real emperor. If we really fight him, we are going against the will of heaven and will be struck by lightning."
Everyone said: "Exactly, exactly!"
Zhang Congbin sighed: "If you all think so, then I have no choice but to follow the will of God and people's hearts."
After saying this, he peeked at the glances of the generals under the firelight, and found that none of them objected. He even sighed in his heart: "Fortunately, I had a plan to surrender. Otherwise, even if I didn't surrender, these people would have forced me to surrender." .¡±
At that moment, the door was opened and closed. After the meeting of the three generals, Yang Xinzhe retreated half a mile from Shi Shi and led the army. Zhe Deku stepped forward in the light and ordered Zhang Congbin to come out. After Zhang Congbin came out to lead the way in person, Zhe Deku then entered the pass and took charge. In terms of defense, Yang Xinzhe and Congshi were closely monitoring the situation from the beginning to the end. in case.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Zhang Mai¡¯s large banner appeared in the Yellow River on the third day of March, and the Sishui Pass changed hands on the ninth day of March!
The terrain of Luoyang is like a box, with important passes on the east and west sides, and the Yellow River in the north forms a natural barrier. With the change of hands at Sishui Pass, Luoyang is equivalent to opening the door to Tiance!
When the news reached the rear, Zhang Mai had also entered Zhengzhou. He successfully joined forces with Fu Yanqing. After receiving the victory report, he smiled and said: "Zhe Yang is indeed my favorite general. This Bishui Pass must be the original Hulao Pass. I think of the time when the heroes fought against Dong Zhuo and the three heroes fought against Lu Bu. The battle was dark day and night. Wu Guang also relied on Dong Zhuo to run away on his own to continue moving forward, but it turned out that the same pass could not stop my three generals for one night."
At this time, several civil servants who had surrendered at the side praised him in unison, using words that were not exaggerated. The voice is afraid not to be loud. Zhang Mai listened to their compliments and smiled without saying a word.
Fu Yanqing smiled and said: "Shi Chonggui has put a lot of effort into Sishui Pass. In addition to 40,000 troops and horses in the pass, there is also two years of food reserves. It's a pity that the people have no fighting spirit and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. After plundering so many A lot of food was given to us as wedding clothes."
Zhang Mai said: "Forty thousand soldiers and horses can last for two years, then our 300,000 horses can last for three months. That's enough."
Fu Yanqing said: "Of course we can't completely count on defeating the enemy because of food, but with the current situation, we will no longer need to continue transporting food from Kaifeng in the short term."
Zhang Mai¡¯s strategic concept for the attack on Luoyang this time was to ¡°make a big splash and win quickly.¡±
At the end of last year, when several core generals met to discuss how to attack Luoyang, some people advocated victory with elite troops. After all, there is almost no army in Luoyang that can compete head-on with Tiance's elite troops. As long as one or two elite troops penetrate through, There may not be any suspense if we reach Luoyang City. Moreover, elite troops fight with fewer people. The military expenditure and food consumed were also small, which was more in line with the current financial situation of the Tang Army.
But Zhang Mai ultimately rejected this proposal, believing that although there was a chance of winning through the route of elite troops, the number of troops would be small, unless a large number of killings were carried out on the battlefield to shock and establish power. Otherwise, some people will take chances. As long as there is a stronghold in the middle to resist, it will slow down the progress of the entire battle, and Zhang Mai does not want to kill more people. Once the battlefield falls into a stalemate, it is bound to be protracted. At that time, it will be difficult to save money and food.
Therefore, Zhang Mai decided to go in the opposite direction. Not only did he not follow the route of elite troops but few soldiers, he even went so far as to mobilize hundreds of thousands of civilians within the limit of current finances, creating a huge momentum. Sure enough, I heard that four to five million troops were joining forces to march westward. Not only did the states and counties along the way show no intention of resisting, but even Taiyuan and Chang'an could not even think of rescuing them! In fact, this is normal. Anyone who hears that Zhang Mai has mobilized 300,000 to 400,000 horsemen to surround Luoyang will not come here to die again as long as he is not a fool.
Sure enough, nearly half a month has passed since Zhang Mai's imperial decree was openly sent south. Neither Qin nor Jin sent a single soldier. Once the Sishui Pass was broken, Luoyang became an isolated city.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
On the tenth day of March, Zhang Mai's banner entered Zhengzhou, and the gentry from the Central Plains lined the streets to greet him. The scene did not look like a victory, but like the gentry welcoming Zhang Mai's "southern tour."
Zhang Mai made a stipulation at the gate of the city that the Central Plains area east of Qin, south of Jin, west of Lu, and north of Jing would be the Henan Road. In the summer and autumn of this year, all agricultural taxes on the entire road in Henan will be exempted.
As soon as the government decree came out, shouts of long live the whole city.
On March 12, Zhang Mai's army stationed at Sishui Pass and issued a second order. This time it was a military order: The army used Sishui Pass as its base camp and advanced westward.Citizens and others are not allowed to trample on wheat fields, and those who violate this rule will be killed.
Zhang Congbin was about to show off when he heard the order and leaned forward and said: "Marshal, please think twice! This time, the Jin bandits will definitely resist when advancing eastward. The wheat fields are almost ripe now. If they ambush in the fields, our army will not be able to detect them." He was ambushed. If he is defeated and retreats from the wheat field, our army will be unable to pursue him due to the limited military orders. At that time, we may be defeated instead of defeated, and we may not be able to win when we should be victorious."
Zhang Mai smiled and said: "Nothing, you are a warrior, don't follow this scholar's tone. The situation you mentioned is also possible, but the premise is that Shi Chonggui has the ability to launch a human sea war! But now people's hearts have returned I, in order to save the people's food rations for the next year, I will not hesitate to expose a few thieves. As for ambushes, we don't need to occupy villages and counties here. We can just take the highway and go straight to Luoyang. There is no need to disperse the troops to harass the countryside. Then send an order to the towns and counties in Luoyang. If anyone dares to trample on the wheat fields, during this time, regardless of the Tang and Jin Dynasties, he will be killed without guilt. The property of the deceased will be regarded as compensation for trampling on the wheat fields! "
Sure enough, when the military order came out, both the gentry and the common people in the entire Luoyang Basin praised him.
From Sishui Pass to Luoyang, there is a wide official road to the sky that has been repaired by the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Shi Chonggui can only collect 30,000 to 40,000 men now, and a considerable number of them are too weak to fight. Tiance has hundreds of thousands. The army drove past the official road in a mighty manner. How could there be any room for him to ambush?
The scouts of the Tang Army had entered the Luoshui River Basin a few days ago. The three forwards also sighted the east gate of Luoyang on March 13th. The follow-up troops came in an endless stream. Zhang Mai followed the order to lay siege to the city.
Elite soldiers are good at destroying strongholds, but for a big city like Luoyang to besieged, manpower is needed. Yang Xin, Zhe Congshi and Zhe Deku, three elite troops, controlled the roads to the southeast, due south and southwest of Luoyang. Wei Fei rushed forward with cavalry and archery, detouring and cutting off the connection between Luoyang and the west. Due east was naturally the best strategy. The army from the middle road came continuously, but left the north gate unencircled, which is exactly the ancient saying that surrounds three and lacks one.
After Fu Yanqing arrived, he dispatched more than 200,000 troops to surround Luoyang in the east, south and west directions so that no water could enter and no oil could escape. However, all the sieges were within a certain distance of the city gate and wall. The distance left a battlefield worthy of a field battle.
Zhang Mai¡¯s meaning is already obvious: If you want to fight, fight, if you want to surrender, surrender, if you want to run, then run - I even left the road to Hedong for you.
When people are not in complete despair, they generally will not go to extremes. After all, the last thing Zhang Mai wants to see is for the defenders to set fire to the city when they are desperate.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
In Luoyang City, the upper and lower levels have two atmospheres and two emotions.
??The lower class people, both soldiers and civilians, do not want to fight at this time, do not dare to fight, and are unwilling to fight.
Outside the city is an invincible commander. No one who opposes him will end well; but he is also a benevolent king. Before the soldiers and horses arrive, the tax exemption order is issued first! This battle is unwinnable and there is no point in fighting it! When did the Shi family father and son treat the people below them so easily?
Facing such an opponent and relying on a master with no future, which soldier wants to fight, dares to fight, and is willing to fight?
The atmosphere in the upper echelons was even more strange. The ministers in Luoyang were all looking eagerly towards the palace, hoping, hoping - hoping that Shi Chonggui would issue an order to surrender!
Not many people are willing to say this, but very few people don¡¯t think so!
But the empty palace in Luoyang seemed to be covered with a dull gray color at this time. Shi Chonggui, the second emperor of the Shi Jin Dynasty, was sitting on the throne of the emperor who was still warm, looking at Sang Weihan. While looking at Feng Dao, faced with two completely different opinions, he didn't know where to go for a while. (To be continued)
