subvert the late Tang Dynasty

On Zhu Wen's wedding night, Huang Ying felt inexplicably agitated for some reason. Zhu Wen's figure flashed through his mind again and again, and every bit of the past came to mind one by one.But in the end, all these good memories were broken by Zhu Wen's defection to the enemy. Huang Ying was caught off guard by Zhu Wen's defection to the enemy. Until now, several months later, she still couldn't figure out why Zhu Wen chose to defect to the enemy. Why would a heroic figure surrender to the corrupt Li Tang dynasty?This has always puzzled Huang Ying.

She hates Zhu Wen, so after giving birth to her and Zhu Wen's child, she once wanted to kill that child, but she couldn't do it in the end, but she couldn't guarantee that she would be ruthless in the future, so she would rather Let Yamaguchi Umeko take the child away.After sending Meizi Yamaguchi and her children out of the city, she was a little worried about their safety, so she sent her good sister Cao Ruhua (Cao Shixiong's daughter, mentioned in the first volume) and a few people to secretly protect her.

Huang Ying didn't know why her longing for Zhu Wen was out of control today. She looked at the bright moon in the sky and recited Zhu Wenyin's song during the first Mid-Autumn Festival she and Zhu Wen spent together. She always thought that poem was Zhu Wen's impromptu composition, but she didn't know it was a famous line from Shu Dongpo.

She chanted the last few lines repeatedly: "People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes. This matter is hard to complete in ancient times. I hope that people will live a long time and share the joys and joys of thousands of miles... I hope that people will live a long time and share joys and sorrows... Alas, this At that time, were you still reciting poems with wine under the moon? I wonder if you will recite such wonderful sentences this year..."

If she knew that Zhu Wen was messing with other women in the gold tent at this time, she might have the urge to chop Zhu Wen into meat sauce on the spot, but she didn't know.She fell into sweet memories for a while, and then fell into the deep-rooted hatred when Zhu Wen surrendered to the enemy.

This night, facing the moonlight like water, she also couldn't fall asleep. She drank a lot of wine, but she was not drunk at all. On the contrary, the more she drank, the more sober she became. The more she drank, the more she couldn't get rid of Zhu Wen's sharp face. .

What is wrong with me?She asked herself in her heart, but she couldn't answer.Love is deep, so hate is deep, hate is deep because of love.Sometimes, the more you hate a person, the more you love at the beginning, but she doesn't know this truth at all, but for Zhang Yan who also took refuge in Li Tang, that is, the Zhang Yan who was given the name Zhang Quanyi, she just There is no trace of hatred, although Zhang Yan's surrender to Tang directly led to the fall of Tongguan, but in his heart, Zhu Wen's betrayal is even more hateful.

On this full moon night, an infatuated woman drank alone under the moon. She drank the liquor like drinking water, but she still couldn't get rid of him in her heart, because he had already been deeply imprinted on her. In his mind, even the rotation of the sun and the moon cannot be erased.

***************************************************** *************** For the next more than a month, Zhu Wen only pointed to the battlefield ahead from a long distance in Daliang City, Bianzhou. The command of the battlefield was handed over to Zhu Zhen, Hu Zhen assisted, and the main generals Zhang Cunjing and Xu Huaiyu were taken away, only Pang Shigu and Yang Yanhong stayed in Daliang.

In addition, several outstanding talents were also discovered from the original defenders of Daliang, including Li Si'an from Chenliu, who was good at using flying spears, and Wang Qianyu from Chuqiu, an old subordinate of Zhuge Shuang, both of whom were brave and good at fighting. Zhu Wen ordered them to follow Zhu Zhen to be a small school first, and then they could continue to be promoted after making meritorious service.

Li Si'an and Wang Qianyu have also made a lot of contributions, but they have always been small captains and cannot be promoted. It is because the two of them used to be Yang Yanhong's subordinates, but they both look down on Yang Yanhong, and Yang Yanhong The relationship between them is not very harmonious.Yang Yanhong is also a bachelor, you look down on me, and I look down on you, too.Since Yang Yanhong, who is the immediate boss, doesn't like the two of them, how can they be promoted?

Although the two of them are still school lieutenants, Zhu Wen has made them under Zhu Zhen's command. Of course they know that Zhu Zhen is Zhu Wen's direct descendant, and they can fight under Zhu Zhen's command. Of course they are happy.

Therefore, the two of them fought very bravely on the front line, especially Li Si'an. He led more than 100 spear throwers, interspersed on the battlefield, and specially dealt with the cavalry of the Qi army. Ten enemy cavalry were pinned to the ground, and their lethality was enormous.

After Li Si'an's spear-throwing men had thrown a few rounds of short spears, Wang Qianyu's small group of cavalry rushed up to cut down the wounded enemy army, and captured some of the enemy's horses by the way, which caused the Qi army a headache.

If a large group of people came to attack, they would not fight, but hid in Zhu Zhen's camp, relying on the large group of people to resist the enemy's group charge.The large number of Qi troops led by Shang Rang had no temper at all, and they dared not set foot in Songzhou and Bianzhou to grab food.

In this way, the Qi army's food and grass became more and more embarrassing. Both Shang Rang and Huang Chao were very worried. If the food and grass were really cut off, no one could guarantee whether there would be a mutiny. These soldiers were all civilians after all. Once they even supply food If not, they will definitely think of other ways.For example, take refuge in the army, or start anew.

Of course, Huang Chao would not allow them to do this. A large number of peasant soldiers were killed when they tried to escape or surrender to the enemy.Huang Chao issued a strict order that if anyone has a different mind, he will be killed without hesitation, while asking Monk Qin Zongquan to step up the preparations for food and grass.

Time passed day by day, but Chenzhou City was still not defeated, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

Zhu Zhen's troops were not too aggressive, Zhu Zhen was only in Songzhou, as long as Shang Rang and Qin Zongquan didn't attack Songzhou, he would not take the initiative to attack, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties.Only occasionally, small units of the Qi army were often attacked by two special teams, Li Si'an and Wang Qianyu, when they were active on the border of Songzhou.

Zhu Wen is quite satisfied with the results of this battle, because he wants the people in Bianzhou and Songzhou to harvest the autumn in a safe and stable manner before he can fight in an all-round way. In that way, at least he has a stable food supply. The supply base will not let the army and the people under his rule go hungry.

This strategy was conceived by Mrs. Liu, and it was implemented after Zhu Wenwen and Jingxiang agreed that it was feasible.On the one hand, it protects the food production in the territory and the safety of people's lives and property, and on the other hand, it also avoids a full-scale war with Huang Chao.

It was late autumn, and Zhu Wen had finished his honeymoon period. On this day, Zhu Wen came to visit Mrs. Liu again and asked about whether he could send troops.

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "You are the Jiedu envoy, why are you asking me instead?"

Zhu Wen also smiled and said: "You are a person with great ability. You can know 2000 years at the top and 1000 years at the bottom. Of course, you have to ask your old man's opinion on such matters."

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Don't put gold on my face. The situation is very obvious now. Huang Chao is centered on Chenzhou, and he is looting everywhere. It can be said that he has offended the surrounding towns. If you don't send troops at this time, all Firstly, others will think that our Xuanwu Army is easy to bully, and secondly, they will doubt the relationship between our army and Daqi. After all, you, Zhu Wen, are Huang Chao’s closed disciples. If you say that there is no master-student relationship between you, who would believe it?”

Zhu Wendao: "I mean to attack Bozhou first, then Yingzhou, and finally deal with the enemies in Chenzhou. Now both Bozhou and Yingzhou are occupied by the Qi army. These two states are themselves under the jurisdiction of the Xuanwu Army, and they are famous for fighting. , it is easier to stimulate the morale of the brothers."

Mrs. Liu also nodded and said: "Yes, it is better for you to make up your own mind about this kind of matter. After all, there is still a long way to go in the future, and many things need to be decided by yourself. Others only have the right to give opinions, but they don't influence you. The power to act, you must always keep this in mind. In this era where the strong are respected, once the power is left behind, it may form a vicious circle, and in the end there may even be death. This is not uncommon in all dynasties."

Zhu Wen nodded and said: "I know this very well, just like Li Xuan who is in Chengdu now, on the surface he is the co-lord of the world, but in fact not many people will listen to him, even the various edicts issued by Chengdu , Most of them are just the propositions of the brothers Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan."

The two discussed the current situation again, Mrs. Liu said: "I don't know much about this, but you must remember that the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, must treat the people kindly, and must not cause too many murders. Now you are doing very well, I really didn't know that the most notorious big devil in the history of the Five Dynasties would turn out to be like this."

Zhu Wen also smiled and said, "I panicked once when I knew I became Zhu Wen. Now that I think about it, as long as I have a clear conscience, why should I care about all the gossip in future generations?"

Mrs. Liu said with emotion: "It's a good sentence with a clear conscience. I hope that if you have a day to rule the world in the future, you must remember today's words."

Zhu Wen left and went back to his residence, just in time to meet Mrs. Zhu and Zhang Xiaohui's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were chatting speculatively. When they saw Zhu Wen came back, they stopped talking.

Zhu Wen smiled and said, "Mother, Xiaohui, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Zhu smiled and said: "The third child is here. I heard that you are going to go to war, and our mother and I have nothing to help, so we discussed whether to let that girl Wei Feng go with you, and there will be some troubles on the way." A caring person can take care of your daily life."

Zhu Wen said: "Let's forget it. It has always been forbidden to bring female relatives in the army. What's more, Miss Wei Feng is still waiting to be married. If she follows the army, it will inevitably make people gossip." I do care, but I just got married to Zhang Xiaohui for less than a month, and taking other women with me on the expedition would chill my wife's heart, so Zhu Wen would find a reason to reject this proposal.

Zhang Xiaohui glanced at Zhu Wen meaningfully, then turned to Mrs. Zhu, and said, "Mother, I said that he would not agree, you still don't believe me, besides, even if Wei Feng enters the house, he is also an ordinary wife. It’s not a concubine, and now there are no three-media and six-hired people who marry people into the door and let wives and concubines follow in the army, wouldn’t it make Miss Wei Feng think too much?”

Mrs. Zhu also smiled and said: "What you said is reasonable. I am an old man and I am Meng Lang. I didn't say this matter."
