subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Not a moment later, I saw two young people coming hand in hand, it was Zhu Wenwen and Xu Huaiyu.

Seeing the two young men coming, Zhang Lin felt a little displeased, and said in his heart: "I thought Huang Chao could send out some characters, but they turned out to be two brats. No wonder they had the guts to enter my camp. They turned out to be newborn calves." Don't be afraid of tigers."

Although Zhang Lin thought so in his heart, after all, the two armies were fighting each other, and although the other party was a traitor, he couldn't lose his courtesy too much. Besides, he also wanted to see what was so special about these two people. place.Zhang Lin said: "Mr. Zhang and Huang Chao are both hostile and have no personal relationship. I don't know what the two of you are doing here?"

Zhu Wen laughed and said: "My family Huang Wang admired the reputation of General Zhang for a long time, and sent me to come to see the general's demeanor. I saw him today, and I didn't know that meeting is more famous. Hehe, the young general Zhu Wen has met General Zhang." Of course Zhu Wen knew thousands of years ago. There is no harm in wearing a few more high hats for him to wear the principle of flattering and not wearing it.

Sure enough, Zhang Lin was happy when he heard Zhu Wen's praise, but he still had a faint smile on the surface, and said: "Thanks to General Zhu's praise, Zhang is ashamed. How about I have a few glasses of water and wine together later?"

Zhu Wen was not polite either, walked to the table and sat down, picked up the wine bowl and drank it up, and praised loudly: "Good wine." Xu Huaiyu did not dare to sit down, and stood behind Zhu Wen with his hand on the hilt of his sword .Closely observe the movements of the people around here.

Zhang Lin said with a smile: "Isn't General Zhu afraid of the poison in this wine?"

Zhu Wen laughed and said, "Such fine wine, even if it is poisonous, I would recognize it."

At this moment, Zhang Lin also felt that Zhu Wen was not someone to wait for, so he hurriedly cheered up. He didn't want to be compared to Zhu Wen, a young boy who was ten years younger than himself.For Zhu Wen's boldness, Zhang Lin also admired it very much, and he also secretly felt that Zhu Wen was worthless. How could such a good talent be secretly cast by Mingzhu?

Zhang Lin said straight to the point: "General Zhu must have a heavy responsibility to come here, right?"

Seeing that Zhang Lin was straight to the point, Zhu Wen said without hesitation, "Since General Zhang asked, I will tell you the truth. King Huang has been fighting for many years, and he just wants the court to give him a title. As long as the court is willing to give Huang Wang a number The land of the state is a town, and the king of Huang will immediately stop his troops."

Zhang Lin laughed at himself and said: "There is an emperor in the court, and there are ministers. I, Zhang, am just a mere general. How can I be the master of such a thing? Huang Wang and General Zhu think highly of me, Zhang." people."

Zhu Wen laughed and said, "Why should General Zhang be modest? Who doesn't know that General Zhang is the number one general in the Tang Dynasty, General Gao Piangao's confidant and favorite general. As long as General Zhang is willing to agree, General Gao Piangao will definitely not object. Gao Piangao As the commander of all the soldiers and horses, the general is also in charge of the wealth and wealth in the south of the Yangtze River. He has a high position and authority and is deeply relied on by the court. As long as General Gao is willing to speak for the court on behalf of King Huang, this matter will be possible in all likelihood."

Of course, Zhang Lin also knew that Zhu Wen was telling the truth, but after all, Gao Pian had a weird temper, and sometimes he couldn't figure out Gao Pian's intentions. If Gao Pian didn't sell his account, wouldn't he be in a dilemma?Zhang Lin was a little hesitant.

Seeing Zhang Lin pondering, Zhu Wen smiled and said, "I wonder if General Zhang can take a step to speak?"

Zhang Lin looked at the subordinates around him, but couldn't figure out Zhu Wen's intentions, and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, here are all the old subordinates who have followed me for many years."

Zhu Wen said with a smile: "People say that General Zhang is the number one general under Gao Pian, with excellent martial arts skills. Are you afraid that I, a junior, will fail? Even if I risk my life not to hurt General Zhang, I may not have that ability, right? "

Zhang Lin sneered slightly and said, "Where is this talking? I just don't want all the generals under my command to be overwhelmed. Since General Zhu said so, then I, Mr. Zhang, should be more respectful than obedient." As soon as he turned his head, all his subordinates The general said: "You go out with this little general first."

All the generals bowed and accompanied Xu Huaiyu to retreat first.Before leaving, Xu Huaiyu gave Zhu Wen a wink, which meant to tell Zhu Wen to be careful.Zhu Wen nodded, expressing his reassurance to Xu Huaiyu that he had his own measure.

After Zhang Lin waited for the crowd to withdraw, he said to Zhu Wen, "General Zhu has something to say, you can say it now."

Zhu Wen smiled and didn't answer, but stretched his hands into his arms. Zhang Lin secretly guarded against Zhu Wen's sudden attack.But seeing Zhu Wen took out something from his bosom, it was about a foot long and wrapped in black satin, Zhang Lin wondered secretly, and thought: "Could it be that the short sword made by some famous master is not good?"

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "A little gift is not a respect, I hope General Zhang will accept it with a smile, and there will be more generous rewards after it is done."

Zhang Lin took the black satin package carefully, with a light hand, not like a dagger or a dagger, but like a scroll.This time Zhang Lin became interested. Although Zhang Lin is a military general, he has the demeanor of a scholar. He especially loves calligraphy, and he regards the calligraphy of famous calligraphers in the past as precious.His perception told him that the black satin package in his hand must be an authentic calligraphy work by a famous artist.

Zhang Lin opened the package carefully. Inside the package was a beautifully carved red sandalwood box. On the wooden box were engraved three small cursive characters "Tummy Pain Post". Has the demeanor of "Grass Saint" Zhang Xu.Zhang Lin was overjoyed. You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xu's cursive script was as famous as Li Bai's poems.Not to mention Zhang Xu's famous calligraphy post, even a piece of paper he wrote casually, can be worth thousands of gold, even priceless, not to mention Zhang Xu's proud work "Stomach Pain Post"?

Zhang Lin was excited, his elegant and fair face became a little flushed because of the excitement, he opened the wooden box with trembling fingers, carefully took out the scroll in the box, and opened it gently.The expression on Zhang Lin's face also changed from excitement to ecstasy, murmured some incoherent words, and gently stroked the scroll with trembling hands, as if stroking the pretty face of his lover...

Zhu Wen watched Zhang Lin's every move with a smile on his face. Zhang Lin's reaction was even more exaggerated than Zhu Wen expected, which made Zhu Wen firmer in his grasp of success.

After a long time, Zhang Lin woke up from the ecstasy. He looked at the smiling Zhu Wen, sighed and said, "How dare Zhang accept such a generous gift from General Zhu? If you have anything to say, General Zhu might as well just say it, even if it is If you don't give me this "Stomach Pain Poster", I will try my best to finish it for you. If you can take a look at such a rare calligraphy treasure, you are already satisfied, why dare you try to keep it for yourself?"

Seeing Zhang Lin's insincere words, Zhu Wen smiled and said, "Why should General Zhang be overly modest? As long as the general is willing to recommend Huang Wang with General Gao Piangao, and recommend Huang Wang as the governor of a town, Huang Wang will immediately stop his troops and go to the town. In this way Not only did it free the people of the world from the troubles of war, but also the pain of being displaced. General Zhang and General Gao Piangao have also received a great contribution. As for this "Tummy Pain Post", it is of course a gift for General Zhang , once King Huang becomes Jiedushi, there will be another generous reward.”

Zhang Lin wavered, no one would refuse such a generous offer.What's more, as Zhu Wen said, he was just recommending Gao Pian.What's more, I can tell Gao Pian that I have worked so hard to say that Huang Chao defected to the court, so that the credit for pacifying the rogue Huang Chao will be my own.Thinking of his pride, the smile on Zhang Lin's face grew stronger.

Although Zhang Lin had a hundred wishes in his heart, he still did not make a promise easily. Zhang Lin said: "The chaos in Hedong has been put down, and Li Guochang and his son have been defeated and disappeared. Now the soldiers and horses of the northern towns are gathering to the south. If the general and my Zhang army don't attack you, the other troops will definitely not let you go."

Zhu Wen sneered, and said: "I, Zhu, also said something that I don't know the importance of. In the current Tang Dynasty, except for Gao Pian and General Zhang, I don't care about anyone else. I don't know how to advance or retreat if I say something. If so, even if you General Zhang and Gao Pian use all their strength to fight our army, are you really sure that you can defeat our army?"

Zhang Lin's eyes flashed brightly, and he looked at Zhu Wen with piercing eyes, and Zhu Wen also looked into Zhang Lin's eyes without giving in. The two looked at each other like fighting cocks, and suddenly they both laughed at the same time.Both of them are strong fighters on the battlefield, and they are also masters with profound internal strength. This meeting, they are evenly matched, and they also have a heart of sympathy for each other.

Zhu Wen said in his heart, Zhang Lin is also a talent, if he is not divided into enemies, he can make a friend with him.

Zhang Lin is indeed a straightforward person, accepted Zhu Wen's gift, and wrote a letter to Gao Pian in front of Zhu Wen, explaining in detail Huang Chao's desire to serve the court, and hoped that Gao Pian could recommend it on his behalf. If Huang Chao is recruited and surrendered, the world will be very lucky, and the people will be very lucky.

Now that Zhu Wen's goal has been achieved, he bid farewell to Xu Huaiyu and left.
