Late Tang

(Ask for a monthly pass!)

On the Juye Plain for tens of miles, there were fights everywhere, but this was already a one-sided battle.

Within a range of tens of miles, the 10,000+ grass army had already collapsed and fled in all directions.At this time, Tang Jun attacked from all directions, and the whole army was dispatched.Teams of cavalry galloped back and forth, and any generals of the grass army who wanted to raise their flags to gather troops and horses would be severely hit by Tang cavalry in the first place.The soldiers of the Tang army were also chasing in teams at this time. They drove, divided, and slaughtered piles of scattered grass thieves in groups. They didn't even want prisoners.

More Tang army auxiliary soldiers also joined the hunting team at this time.The task of cleaning the battlefield has been left temporarily, and these auxiliary soldiers also formed groups, chasing down, beheading, beheading or capturing those stragglers who were scattered by the cavalry and warriors.

The entire Juye has become ferocious like hell, and fierce fighting is everywhere.A rain of arrows flew overhead, and there was a bright metal reflection in front of my eyes, countless swords slashed and spears stabbed.The blood under his feet stained the ground red, and penetrated deeply into the soil, bloody and tangy.

Tang Jun's shouts to kill, Cao Jun's screams, the groans of the wounded, and the begging of prisoners.The sound of steel knives piercing flesh, arrows piercing bones, weapons colliding, panting of running, neighing of war horses, all the sounds mixed together became the sound of death in hell.

Huang Chao had been attacked several times along the way, and in the end there were only a thousand people around.Just after raising the banner, they wanted to gather some soldiers and horses, but the Caojun brothers hadn't gathered yet, instead they attracted the evil wolf Zhuge Shuang.

Zhuge Shuang led Li Hanzhi, Wang Jian, Jin Hui, Zhu Wen, and Zhu Zhen, all of whom were fierce and desperadoes.Seeing the big banner of Huang Chao, several people were so excited that their eyes were dazzled, and they didn't think about danger at all.He raised his spear and rode his horse straight to kill.

Three thousand fine riders killed for a day, and there were still more than two thousand people at this time. They rushed out suddenly and caught Huang Chao by surprise.After a moment of melee between the two sides, there were fewer and fewer people around Huang Chao, but more and more soldiers and horses of the Tang Army.During the melee, Huang Chao and his left and right cronies were separated, and had to flee alone on horseback.

Before fleeing far, Huang Chao heard the sound of the road behind him, and three riders rushed straight to kill him.Huang Chao turned around and saw that there were several young Tang soldiers. Looking at the armor, they seemed to be just ordinary soldiers.

Huang Chao ran while thinking about how to get out.

Zhu Zhen rode on the horse and shouted loudly: "Little Huang Chao, hurry up and capture him without a fight. Losing at the hands of my three brothers will not disgrace your identity."

Huang Chao immediately turned his head and asked, "Don't you know the names of the three brothers Gao?"

"Listen to the names of the grandpas. The one in the middle is the third brother Zhu Wen, and the one on the left is the second brother Zhu Cun. Your grandfather and I are Zhu Zhen and your fourth brother Zhu."

Huang Chao didn't care about Zhu Zhen's stinky mouth either, so he just said flattering words, "But I don't know where the three young heroes are now."

As soon as this was mentioned, Zhu Zhen couldn't help getting angry. He was already the team leader in the Zhen [***] selection team, and he was going to be promoted to command soon.As a result, after joining the Xuanwu Army, he has made a lot of contributions, but up to now, Zhu Zhen and Zhu Cun are only a corps leader, and Zhu Zhen was promoted to a corps leader because he was admitted to the command post that day, but He hasn't even earned the lowest rank of an accompanying deputy lieutenant.This huge difference makes me angry when I think about it.

"Your grandfather and I and Zhu Erge are the commanders, and Zhu Sange is the deputy commander!" Zhu Zhen said loudly, not wanting to be seen clearly by a grasshopper.

Huang Chao was surprised and said: "Brother Zhu, don't bully me, I still know the armor system of imperial officers."

Zhu Zhen blushed, and said bitterly: "Why are you so happy, old thief? Grandpas used to be the commander and deputy commander!"

Huang Chao was shocked when he heard this.The position of commander and command envoy has only emerged in recent years. At first, the Shence Army set up a command envoy, and then some armies of feudal towns also set up commanders and envoys in the army, and some armies even set up commander envoys. This official position is a bit confusing.But generally speaking, the command of the Shence Army is quite high-level, at least a third-rank official position.With these guys in front of them, it is impossible for them to be in such positions.

If it's not this, it's just a low-level official position, he suddenly thought of Zhen[***].Not long ago in the town [***], the military position was changed, the general of the capital became the commander, and the ten generals of the battalion became the commander.Although these two positions are not low, they can be matched.Could it be that these two people used to be from [***]?

He asked a few words on the sidelines, and sure enough, he found out that these three guys were actually under Li Jing's command before, and they even defeated Wang Xianzhi together in Songzhou.Later, due to a reason they refused to say clearly, the three of them left the town [***] and joined the Xuanwu Army, but in the end they could only be a soldier like Chief Wu.Although I don't know the specific reason, it must be because of military discipline or something.After all, he has also heard of the strict military discipline in Zhen [***].

After finding out the identity of the other party, Huang Chao's brain turned and he tried to persuade him while running: "Why are you three brothers chasing so hard? You just want to catch this old man and go back to make meritorious service, but think about it, what kind of person is Mu Renxuan, the envoy of Xuanwu Jiedu?" What kind of person? With three talents, you go to him, but you only have a small corps leader. Even if you catch the old man and join him, with Mu Renxuan's greedy and narrow-minded character, you may not be able to get anything The rich rewards may even be robbed of merit."

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Huang Chao couldn't help but said while the iron was hot: "Why don't the three of you let me go, and I will definitely report back. I can reward the three of you with a lot of money, or the three of you might as well just come with me. With the talents of the three, the old man thinks that they can be appointed as a general. As long as the three are willing to vote for me, I will definitely give them three thousand troops."

Zhu Zhen immediately whispered to Zhu Wen: "I think what this old thief said makes some sense. That Mu Renyu is not a good bird. We worked hard and made so many achievements, but we didn't reward them. If it wasn't for the last time I saw the eunuch Ximen and Eunuch Yang, if the third brother is appreciated by them, I'm afraid he won't even be promoted to the head of the gang. Besides, most of the rewards we have made have been severely deducted by that donkey ball from Mu Anguo. We got it The bounty is less than [-]%. This money is the money we earn desperately, otherwise, we simply let the thief go and secretly get a large sum of money."

"This is a violation of military orders. If it is discovered, it will be beheaded." Zhu Cun said in surprise.

"Bird's military order, my second brother thinks this is still the town [***]. When you leave the town [***], look, not only the Xuanwu Army, but also the other five towns' armies, which one is different, what is the military order , It's all bullshit. Damn it, not to mention the harsh deductions of military rations, even the rewards for desperate efforts, and [-]% of the damn rewards. There is no fairness in rewards and punishments, it's all cronyism. Even if you have no ability, Guan Jian still needs relationships. Everything else is empty, and money is real."

Zhu Wen also hesitated again and again, but was finally persuaded by Zhu Zhen.Money is king, without money everything is empty.When they escaped from the town [***], there were only those eight horses. Later, the few horses did not dare to take them for fear of being exposed, and the horses were thrown away.Since they defected to Xuanwu Army, the rewards they received were thousands of guan, but they got only a hundred guan.Even this hundred guan has not been fully fulfilled.Now that Zhu Wen needed money very much, Zhang Tailiu, like many kabuki servants brought by the officers, followed the army and lived in the city not far from the barracks.

Huang Chao gave Zhu Wen and the others a bag of gold immediately, and Zhu Wen asked for Huang Chao's banner, and finally Zhu Zhen also asked for Huang Chao's set of gold armor. After ransacking Huang Chao, Zhu Wen still has credit. The yellow nest was released.

When Huang Chao left, he said to Zhu Wen: "If the three Zhu brothers don't want to stay in the Xuanwu Army, you can come to Huang at any time. The gate of Huang's camp is open for the three Zhu brothers at any time. As long as the three are willing to come, the second brother Zhu Fourth brother Zhu is at least a fifth-rank guerrilla general, and third brother Zhu is at least a regular fifth-rank ranger general."

Zhu Wen nodded to Huang Chao, without directly refusing.

The three returned to the foot of Juye Mountain in the dark. Tang Jun was exhausted after a day of fighting.After beheading more than [-] people, Tang Jun returned to the camp one after another to rest and eat.The secretarial offices of the staff and secretaries in the army are even more busy, and they are nervously recording military achievements.

After the three of them entered the camp, they immediately reported the battle situation to the forward battalion leader, Mu Anguo.Mu Anguo had previously cleared the war men and horses, but he didn't see the three of them, so he thought the three of them died in battle.It is very happy to see them come back now.The three of them have performed very well recently, especially this time, because Zhu Wen proposed to him a plan to switch to the rear army, and he reported to Zhuge Shuang in the same way, which was appreciated.Now in terms of merit after the war, Zhuge Shuang has already attributed the first merit of the [-] cavalry to Mu Anguo.

After Mu Anguo knew about it, he didn't explain that it was Zhu Wen, his subordinate, who first proposed it, and he directly took the credit.Seeing the three of them come back now, I can't help but say a few words of appreciation.

When Zhu Wen took out the banner of the grass thief, Mu Anguo was very shocked, and when he saw the yellow nest golden armor and sword in Zhu Zhen's hand, he was even more shocked.After questioning, Zhu Zhen triumphantly told how they chased Huang Chao, and how the last chased Huang Chao threw away his helmet and armor.

However, Zhu Zhen boasted too much, but there were many flaws in her words.Mu Renyu became suspicious, and repeatedly asked Huang Chao how he escaped.After deliberately cheating a few words, Zhu Zhen who finally cheated had more loopholes in her words.In the end, although Zhu Wen kicked Zhu Zhen quietly, he took the conversation and said that their pursuit was approaching. Huang Chao threw away his helmet and armor, and was about to catch up, but finally killed a group of grass bandit cavalry halfway to meet Huang Chao. escaped.They had no choice but to pick up Huang Chao's flag armor and return to camp!

How could Mu Anguo believe these words!

Originally, his subordinates got Huang Chao's banner armor, which was a great military achievement.But now, he could have captured Huang Chao alive in front of him, but he missed it. His joy suddenly turned into annoyance, and he wished he could kill three generals with one blow.

In anger, he couldn't help but slap and kick Zhu Wen and the three of them.He didn't believe Zhu Wen's nonsense at all in his heart, and believed that Zhu Wen must have benefited from Huang Chao and released Huang Chao privately, but there was no evidence for the time being.

In the end, he had to keep his face on the surface, but asked someone to take a bag of gold, 50 taels of gold collars, a total of twelve, a total of 600 taels of gold, and awarded them to three people.

"This is a reward for you, take it!"

The three of Zhu and Wen were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect Mu Anguo to be furious just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was so generous with the reward, they couldn't believe it for a moment.After Zhu Zhen picked up the bag of gold weighing nearly a hundred catties, the heavy weight of gold finally convinced him that it was real.
