Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 749
"When did Zhu Xuan see the big picture?" In the wilderness village, Liang Hanyong looked at Du Guangyi who was rushing over, and asked.

"I was persuaded by a group of disciples and staff." Du Guangyi sneered: "Passing the land to the descendants, so that the military leaders, big and small, will be rich forever, this is wishful thinking. I don't even think about how long it took Tianping and Taining to separate themselves? The benefits of the three towns in Hebei can also be obtained by them?"

Since Li Shidao was wiped out, the once huge Ziqing Town was split up, and the two towns of Tianping and Taining were the products of the split.These two feudal towns are generally considered submissive, and the imperial court can appoint Jiedu envoys, and it is also possible for Jiedu envoys to move towns.For example, when 2500 Yunzhou soldiers entered Liangzhou to defend Liangzhou, they were sent by the Shuofang Jiedu envoy who moved the town from Yunzhou to Lingzhou.

When the nest was in chaos, Qi Kerang, the governor of the Taining Army, also went out to fight in the town, which can be said to be very obedient.

The fact that the two towns of Tianping and Taining were separated was only a matter after the brothers Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin came to power.

"Quanzhong pulled the embankment of the Yellow River and released the water to the east. The states of Pu, Yun, Yan, Cao, and Qi suffered greatly from it, and no one said anything?" Liang Hanyong asked.

It is said that the release of water by Quanzhong not only made the people miserable, but also had a great impact on the tens of thousands of people in the right wing of the Feilong Army.

For several months in a row, the ground was like a yellow mud pond, preventing them from attacking.Zhu Zhen and Liang Hanyong stared at each other across the yellow flood zone.

After the water recedes, it is actually impossible to return to the past.

The river expanded and diverted a lot, and the area of ​​the swamp increased. For example, the Onozawa spread outwards as a whole, "annexed" several small swamps, flooded many farmlands and villages, and the entire lake area expanded rapidly.

All of these have greatly hindered the mobile attack of their troops.

In recent months, Liang Hanyong has been sending people out to draw simple maps.For the few times of harassment, they ran to Zhu Jin's territory first, and then attacked Xu, Su, Shan, Song and other prefectures, trying to avoid the yellow flooded areas.This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Quanzhong dared to mobilize soldiers and horses for the Caozhou camp. The "Water General" is easier to use than [-] infantry.

While the camp in Caozhou was easier, the pressure on the camp in Suzhou increased.But how should I put it, they lie flat and let you rob, I will guard a few important places, and occasionally set up a few "false targets" for ambushes, knock out some of your troops, and then predict which way you will go, Just bet on your luck, if you don't come, let it go, and knock some off when you come.

Of course, piecemeal attacks cannot stop the Flying Dragon Army, but it will make you feel more or less painful, so you won't be so arrogant.

When Qi Bizhang took 5000 people to the east, when he finally returned, half of the 5000 people were gone. It can be seen that the war was still very fierce and consumed a lot.

Of course, Liang Hanyong is not afraid of consumption.In fact, as soon as he arrived in Puzhou, he secretly recruited soldiers.Many of the people who came to vote were warriors from Yun Town. After the flood, the livelihood of the people was difficult, and recruiting soldiers was not a problem at all.

"Of course there are people who are dissatisfied, and there are many people who are swearing." Du Guangyi said: "Don't mention this for now. I just received the news that the battle in the west has started, can you move here?"

"Yes. Even if you lose some troops, you have to go to Xu and Su for a while." Liang Hanyong said.

Xia and Liang are currently at an overall stalemate on the Eastern Front.The Liang army was short of troops, unable to intercept the erratic Xia army, but Liang Hanyong was always worried recently that one day the Liang people would suddenly lose face and ignore it at all. How many Liang Jun can be restrained?
Don't think it's impossible, because human nature is like that.When Xia Jun broke in at the beginning, Liang Renda was shocked, panicked and angry, and mobilized heavy troops to encircle and suppress.After a long time, I found that I couldn't get rid of it, and the damage caused by Xia Jun had been seen a lot, and I became numb, and the acceptable threshold was raised, so I didn't care so much.

"Is there any movement from Shao Lun?" Liang Hanyong asked suddenly.

"This person went to Yunzhou from time to time. When Zhu Xuan's parents celebrated their birthdays, they searched for people's fat and people's cream and gave them a lot of money. Zhu Xuan was very satisfied with him and trusted him. Shao Lun still wanted to be the governor of Puzhou, so he laughed and scolded him for his lack of ambition. Generally speaking, Shao Lun gained Zhu Xuan's trust." Du Guangyi said.

"He Gui can see something, Zhu Xuan is blind, he will be blinded by giving some money." Liang Hanyong laughed and scolded.

"If someone whispers nice things in your ear all day long, brings you everything you want, and pleases your family, do you believe him or not?" Du Guangyi said seriously.

Liang Hanyong stopped talking.

Zhu Xuan is 35 years old this year. It is said that he has not reached the level of insomnia, but Wufu is like this. He is too lazy to care about your local governance. As long as you send military taxes in time, provide soldiers, and don’t rebel. Bring to a boil.

Reconciled with Zhu Quanzhong, some people opposed it before the flood.After the flood, Zhu Xuan still insisted on reconciling with Quan Zhong, but more people opposed it.

Shao Lun supports Zhu Xuan!

"According to what Shao Lun said, Zhu Xuan will drive us out of Puzhou sooner or later. The matter is very difficult, should we..." Liang Hanyong asked.

"Killing Zhu Xuan, what did Zhu Jin think?" Du Guangyi asked, "Has General Liang considered the attitude of the Taining Army? What if Zhu Jin invaded under the guise of avenging his brother?" ?”

"Then bring He Gui over and let him be the military envoy. He is Marquis Yu of the Tianping Army, and he has a lot of prestige in the army. The two towns of Tianping and Taining are not naturally his old Zhu's, Zhu's My brother has only been in power for more than ten years, and he was just a small military school before he took office, how much foundation does he have?" Liang Hanyong was born in a family of Jinyang dental school, and his background is the same as that of Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin, and he is very familiar with people like them .

He has no background at all, and was born in a foreign town. He joined the army when he recruited soldiers. Because of his outstanding skills, he dared to fight and fight hard, and made contributions, he was promoted to a middle-level military academy.Later, I seized the opportunity to take advantage of the trend, but it was only more than ten years.

If you really want to insist on the background, it is better to say that the interest alliance formed by the martial arts in the whole town is his background.This kind of alliance is very united when fighting against the invasion of foreign towns, and it is not easy to defect.

In the last years of other dynasties in ancient times, the victory or defeat of a decisive battle may determine the ownership of a certain place.But the main forces of Zhu Xuan, Zhu Jin, and Shi Pu have been wiped out one crop after another in decisive battles over the years. Is it useful?Do other dynasties have these unyielding and stubborn warriors?
Cheng De and Wei Bo were also beaten like dogs, and suffered heavy losses in their troops, but they still spoke out unanimously for the same reason.

Therefore, it is very difficult to defeat the Tianping army from the outside, but it is not so difficult to eliminate Zhu Xuan from the inside and replace him with another person.

Shao Lun is from Puzhou, and He Gui is also from Puzhou. They are serious warriors from this town, aren't they better than Zhu Xuan?

"This matter has to be decided by the king." Du Guangyi swallowed.

Killing commanders and rebelling is very common, but it is still very stressful to do it.

Du Guangyi is a "hair awl", so he couldn't make up his mind.Liang Hanyong is more decisive than him, just do it, Zhu Jin Ruo Xingshi asks the teacher, just fight with him, and decide the outcome on the battlefield, how simple is it?
Besides, is it okay to not do it?Zhu Xuan is about to come to chase away people.

"Don't act rashly, let me find out about He Gui." Du Guangyi said.

"You do your own thing." Liang Hanyong said while rubbing a dagger.

……

Zhu Zhen has just returned from hunting.

When traveling to the south of Jiyin County, where Lisuo was located, he happened to meet He Delun, the commander of the Left and Right Desheng Army, who was heading west with his troops.

"Shuai Zhu." He Delun, who was playing with the whip, saw him, and immediately dismounted to salute.

"General He, but don't worry, Cao, Shan, and Hua states will have no worries." Zhu Zhen sighed regretfully, looking at Ma Teng, the soldier, and the very capable cavalry of the Desheng Army.

The weather is cold, and the fields are gradually freezing, and the thief general Liang Hanyong will be active in Hua, Cao, Shan, and Song states again.The lack of three thousand riders from the Desheng Army must be very disadvantageous.But you can't sit back and watch Bianzhou be harassed by thieves and cavalry, right?
"Shuai Zhu don't need to worry too much." He Delun persuaded: "Since Zhu Xuan is willing to make peace with me, then the thief general Liang Hanyong will have nowhere to go, and the threat from the east will drop sharply, so you can rest easy."

"Zhu Xuan can really settle down the internal opposition forces? I don't think so." Zhu Zhen smiled and said, "Even Liang Hanyong, he probably won't go back honestly, maybe he will raid and occupy Puzhou and continue to fight against me."

"When it comes to that, Zhu Shuai might as well write a letter to Zhu Xuan, and join forces with him to attack Puzhou, capture and kill Shao's son-in-law, and make his daughter a widow at a young age." He Delun said.

If Puzhou is lost, if Zhu Jin of the Taining Army does not take him in, then Liang Hanyong will indeed become a wandering army, and the threat will be greatly reduced.If he invaded Zhu Xuan and occupied Puzhou by force, he probably would not be able to settle the various forces.A small army leader from outside, like a rootless weed, why should he occupy a large county?At that time, the situation may be even worse than running away directly.

"I care about myself." Zhu Zhen said.

He Delun saluted again and led the horse away.

After walking more than a hundred steps, he couldn't help looking back at Zhu Zhen.

He has an indescribable feeling.Compared with Shi Shucong and Pang Shigu, Zhu Zhen is much more capable.In the past two years, the Flying Dragon Army that blocked the thieves, the Caozhou camp was also the most successful, killing thousands of enemies before and after.

Zhu Zhen also put forward many suggestions on restricting, expelling and even eliminating the bandit cavalry, all of which were pertinent and effective, but Bianzhou could not give him a better army to realize his idea, on the contrary, he continued to mobilize people to go west.As time goes by, Zhu Zhen also seems to be tired, and now she feels a little bit of hiding her power and biding her time.

Hunting, drinking, singing and dancing are his favorite things to do now.It seems that gold and iron horses and battles on the battlefield do not arouse his interest at all.He is now a martial artist who degenerates and enjoys, and has no ambitions.Even chasing and suppressing thieves is a fictional story, not very positive.

"Could it be that this is to protect oneself wisely and to support one's self-respect?" He Delun had some guesses, but he decided to bury these things deep in his heart and not tell anyone.

The sun was gradually setting in the west, and the three thousand riders of the Desheng Army were on their way all night.The war in the Central Plains is urgent, and the future is uncertain.
