Late Tang

(Five consecutive updates of [-] words, weeping blood for a monthly ticket for a reward for a subscription!)

In Zhu Wen's tent at the base of Juye Mountain, in the forward camp of the Xuanwu Army, a bag of 12 yuan gold collars was placed in front of him.

600 taels of gold, based on the ratio that one tael of gold can compete for 50 yuan, this bag of gold is worth 100 yuan.Zhu Wen took out another bag of gold from Huang Chao. It was also 700 taels of gold collar, but there were only two of them. 800 taels, eight hundred guan.Added together, it is [-] taels of gold, worth [-] guan.The three share it equally, and each person can get more than [-] yuan.

For the three people of civilian background, this is a huge sum of money.The good paddy fields in Liujiazhuang, Xiaoxian County, Xuzhou cost only ten guan dollars per mu.More than 800 yuan is enough to buy more than 100 acres of land in Liujiazhuang, and then build a three-entry mansion, marry a well-off family daughter as a wife, and buy a few large animals for the rest. Buy a few more maids to use.

All three of them stared at the pile of gold with wide eyes, their eyes were full of excitement and excitement.

"Third brother, why don't we take this money and go home to buy land and build a house. With this money, we can also become a landlord." Zhu Zhen said with a smile.

Zhu Cun also nodded. Didn't he just want to earn a job in agriculture when he came out, and he didn't want to work for others for the rest of his life.Now the two brothers have more than 600 coins in total, enough to buy [-] acres of land, and the rest can be used to build a big house.

"Something is not quite right!" Zhu Wen shook his head suddenly. "Second brother, fourth brother, wrap this thing up. I think something is wrong!"

Zhu Zhen didn't understand: "What's wrong with the matter, could it be that Qian is dazzled?"

Zhu Wen reached out to take the bag and packed all the 14 yuan gold collars. Without the golden gold in front of his eyes, the minds of the three of them were a little calmer.Rubbing his forehead, Zhu Wen said softly: "Think about it, when we reported it, Mu Anguo obviously suspected that we had released Huang Chao privately. He even hit us in a rage."

"It's all my fault. In a moment of excitement, I said something that shouldn't be said, and revealed my secrets. The two brothers who caused me were also beaten together." Zhu Zhen said embarrassedly.

Zhu Wen shook his head, "Things are very abnormal, so what kind of person is Mu Anguo? Although we have been with him for a long time, we also know that this guy is a soldier who is not only harsh on his subordinates, but also narrow-minded and stubborn This is Mu Renyu's son, but he has done many things to pretend to be meritorious. Although we did not catch Huang Chao this time, we also took Huang Chao's flag and armor. Among the military achievements, beheading generals is the first merit. Capture the flag is secondary."

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Cun said in surprise, "Ah San, are you saying that Mu Anguo wants to steal our victory in capturing the flag?"

"I'm not afraid of stealing merit. After all, he gave so much gold, even giving him the military merit is enough. But, I'm worried that things are not that simple." Zhu Wen sighed, "What kind of Mu Anguo is that? People? Even drinking the blood of soldiers, how could they suddenly give us gold? I suspect that this bastard gave us gold just to stabilize us, remember what he said when he left?"

"Remember, he said that the capture of the flag should not be made public for the time being. He will first report to Mourinho and the capital prison, and give us credit." Zhu Cun said.

"There is definitely something wrong with Gouyue." Zhu Wen slammed his fist on the table, "If you want to ask for credit, it has nothing to do with keeping quiet. What's more, even if you want to reward, it's not Mu Anguo's turn to reward. It is even more impossible to reward so much money. I suspect that Mu Anguo wants to kill us, there is a conspiracy here."

"What conspiracy?"

Zhu Wen was also very distressed. For a while, he only thought that something was wrong, but he couldn't imagine what kind of conspiracy it would be.

"Second brother, why don't I sneak over and have a look?" Zhu Zhen couldn't help feeling worried.

Zhu Wen nodded, and Zhu Zhen immediately got up, lifted the curtain, and walked out quietly.But after a while, he touched it again.With a solemn face, "Second brother and third brother, things are really not right. I just went out, but I didn't go far, and I found at least five or six people from Mu Anguo staring at us along the way. I As soon as I went out, there were several people following me, I wandered around casually, and came back quickly."

The faces of the three of them were already very ugly, and the matter became more and more clear.

"Could it be that Mu Anguo wants to kill us to steal military merit?" Zhu Cun asked worriedly.

Zhu Wen frowned, clenched his fists tighter and tighter, and said resolutely: "We can't sit still. Judging from the current situation, things are getting worse and worse for us. If we stay any longer, something may happen. Damn, since There is no place to stay here, but there is a place to stay. Simply, let's run away!"

"Escape?" With an exclamation, both Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen were extremely surprised. With the current situation, where should they escape?They just escaped from the town [***], and now they want to escape again, where else can they escape?

Zhu Wen gritted his teeth tightly. When he fled for the first time, he didn't want to escape in his heart.He felt sorry for Li Jing and Li Cunxiao for running away, and even had the idea of ​​pleading guilty and being executed.If Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen were not involved later, he would not have escaped.

But it's different now. After escaping the first time, when escaping the second time, I don't have much burden in my heart.He already guessed in his heart that most likely Mu Anguo was going to deal with him.And seeing the opponent take out 500 taels of gold to stabilize him, I'm afraid it will be difficult this time.If so, run away.Anyway, he really didn't have much affection for Xuanwu Army, let alone nostalgia.

"Run away, we all listen to the third brother, we will flee wherever the third brother says!" Zhu Zhen didn't hesitate, she stayed in Zhen[***] for a while, and now she stays everywhere in the Xuanwu Army I don't like it, I don't want to stay anymore.What's more, now that everyone has more than 600 yuan in their hands, they can't go anywhere.

Without any hesitation, the three of Zhu and Wen quickly wrapped their armors and tied them on their bodies, and then divided the gold. Each of them weighed fourteen and a half catties, which was not considered heavy.A long cloak was draped over their shoulders, and the three of them quietly left the tent, pretending to be indifferent.But Zhu Wen soon discovered that there were many people staring at them.

According to what they had said in advance, Zhu Wen and the others walked aside to disperse the watchers, and then met at the stable.

After walking for a short distance, there were indeed two people following all the way from behind. Zhu Wen suddenly walked back by the side of a tent.Zhu Wen also pretended to meet him suddenly, "Where are you two brothers going?"

"Oh, I just received a report that a donkey was stolen and slaughtered by someone in the supply camp. The superiors sent our buddies over to check and see if we can find anything." One replied pretending to be calm.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Zhu Wen said with a long voice and a smile. When the two of them lifted their guard, he made a sudden move, holding down one's head with one hand, and slammed the two heads together. Immediately fell to the ground limp and bleeding.

Zhu Wen dragged the two aside and left immediately.When he arrived at the stable, Zhu Zhen and the two had already arrived, and even knocked down a groom directly, leading three horses out.

"Third brother, let's leave quickly. Mu Anguo went to find Mu Renyu, probably to discuss how to deal with us." Zhu Zhen told the news that he caught a stalker on the way and interrogated him.

Zhu Wen nodded and rode away immediately.At the gate of the camp, Zhu Wen just said that he was ordered to go out of the camp for reconnaissance, and the familiar guards at the camp gate didn't even step forward to check the warrant.A guard asked, and the officer scolded with a smile: "Those three guys, I heard that they have made great achievements today, and they have even been appreciated by several commanders, the capital supervisor and the military envoys, and they will flourish sooner or later."

Several guards kept nodding, praising the boss for his good vision and good manners.Just after praising, there was a sound of horseshoes, and dozens of horsemen rushed forward.The leader is the nephew of Xuanwu Marshal Mu Renyu.He shouted, "Did someone leave the camp just now?"

The junior officer hurried forward, "Back to the general, the three brothers Zhu and Wen from the Xuanwu Army's Vanguard Battalion have just left!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Mu Anguo was furious, and immediately whipped him over. "Killer, how dare you let the important criminal out of the camp and torture him for the general." Several soldiers ignored the officer's crying and pleading, and dragged him away.Mu Anguo led other cavalrymen and chased them out.

The other guards at the gate of the camp looked at each other and were all stunned on the spot.

The grass army camp on the west bank of Juye Ze, there is no official army here yet.Some of the defeated grass army fled back to the camp, while others fled in all directions.

After the defeat, the Cao army was all downcast.All the ministries gathered to withdraw troops and counted the number of people. When they left the camp last night, they were 15 years old. Now there are only half of the whole camp left, less than 8 horses.All the ministries suffered heavy losses, but Wang Xianzhi was alive and well. He had [-] cavalry, and there were still more than [-] cavalry.Hearing the news, Huang Chao was very angry.What made him even more angry was that after Wang Xianzhi returned to the camp, he began to move the food and grass in the camp, preparing to flee.

Huang Chao knew that if he escaped at this time, the Cao army would never be able to recover.When the officers and soldiers are rested tomorrow, and the cavalry is dispatched to pursue them, where can they escape?What's more, although the town [***] on the battlefield today is fake, but behind them, there is a real town [***] intercepting them.

"Commander, the brothers from outside the camp came to report that there were three people who claimed to be Zhu Wen, Zhu Zhen, and Zhu Cun and asked to see the commander. They said that they had made an appointment with the commander and came to meet him."

Huang Chao was stunned for a moment, then thought of the three young people, who was about to meet Wang Xianzhi, suddenly waved his hand, "Tell the three generals, I will go to greet you in person right away!"

Outside the Cao Army camp, many Cao Army soldiers looked curiously at the three Zhu and Wen who were on the horse. All three of them were wearing the Tang Army's fiery red war robes, but they ran to the Cao Army camp.Judging by their appearance, they don't look like messengers. Could it be that they are here to vote for the grass army?

Huang Chao led a group of officers, saw the three of Zhu and Wen from a distance, and immediately came forward with a big smile: "The three Zhu brothers have abandoned the dark and turned to the bright. This commander is really overjoyed when he hears the news. Please hurry up Enter the camp!"

While inviting Zhu and Wen into the camp, soon Huang Chao's confidantes began to spread the news in the camp, saying that the three that Marshal Huang invited into the camp were warriors who are the enemy of thousands of people. Commander Wen, Commander Zhu Zhen and Commander Zhu Cun.On today's battlefield, it is these three heroes who led the town [***] to break through the right wing of our army.However, the three heroes were brave and invincible, but they were framed by the jealousy of the officers and soldiers.Eunuch Ximen Sigong, the governor of the official army, eunuch Yang Fugong, the envoy of the army, and Mu Renyu of Xuanwu town envied the military achievements of these three heroes, and sent people to assassinate the three generals and the soldiers of the town [***].As a result, the three thousand cavalrymen in the town [***] were lured and killed by those villains. The three generals Du Zhu and Wen broke through and killed them.

Hearing this news, the Cao Jun, whose morale was low and flustered, couldn't help but gloated a little, and even raised their morale a lot because of it.They were even more happy when they heard that there was internal strife among the officers and soldiers.Moreover, the three of Zhu and Wen's status as the town's [***] titans couldn't help but make them admire.The name of Zhen [***] was something that even the grass army was frightened by. The king's capital commanded an army of [-], but they were defeated by them in one battle.Now there is actually a town [***] general who will vote, and they can't help but feel proud.

Even Wang Xianzhi, who was packing his luggage and preparing to escape, was a little surprised when he heard the news.I sent people to investigate and found out that there were indeed town [***] generals who came to vote, and it was said that the three thousand cavalrymen of the town [***] who were chasing them on the battlefield during the day were killed by the Xuanwu army and two eunuchs When he was assassinated, Wang Xianzhi frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally ordered to stop the preparations for evacuation.

In Huang Chao's tent, Zhu and Wen bowed down to Huang Chao on one knee.

Zhu Wen explained the reason for voting in detail, saying that Mu Renyu's son Mu Anguo was jealous of their military exploits and wanted to kill them for their meritorious service, but they escaped after learning about it.

Huang Chao has been looking at the three of them carefully and listening carefully.After listening, Huang Chao pulled the three of them up with a smile and patted the dust off their bodies.

"Since the three generals Zhu are willing to come to help me, then I wish for it. Now I have officially appointed Zhu Wen as General Xuanwei from the fourth rank, and Zhu Zhen and Zhu Cun as General Mingwei from the fourth rank. Specifically, the three of you are in charge of collecting the defeated soldiers from the rout and reorganizing them into the left wing of the front army, with a force of 5000 troops. Zhu Wen will be appointed as the military envoy of the left wing of the former army, and Zhu Cun will be the deputy envoy of the army. Zhu Zhen is the commander of the marching army. I declare in advance that I will give you the troops, but whether you can gather ten battalions of soldiers and horses is up to you."

Hearing that he can be promoted to any position as soon as he arrives, he knows how to command a ten battalion of five thousand soldiers and horses. Zhu Wen was very excited and felt that he had come to the right place.Although he doesn't know where his ten battalions are now, he is not worried.

"General Zhu, what good strategy do you have for the current situation?" Huang Chao asked.

Zhu Wen thought for a while, but stopped talking.

"Just say what Zhu Xuanwei has to say, don't worry, even if what you say is wrong, it doesn't matter." Huang Chao was very polite to Zhu Wen.

"Commander, I believe that our army is newly defeated and the Tang army is newly victorious. At this time, our army can take advantage of the night to counterattack, and the Tang army must be unprepared. If this is the case, the situation can be reversed and victory will be achieved!" Zhu Wen's words were not surprising. Endless death, from the very beginning, he proposed to counterattack the Tang army.

As soon as this proposal came out, the entire tent exclaimed! (To be continued.)
