subvert the late Tang Dynasty

One of Lu Yong stood there looking forward to the bad future for a long time, then suddenly shook his head and sighed. After all, Gao Pian is still alive and well, and all the power he has now is only given to him by Gao Pian , although he doesn't take Gao Pian very seriously in his heart, it's not easy to offend him after all.

Lu Yongzhi instructed the guards in Gao Pian's mansion: "Keep an eye on the gate, no one is allowed to step into the mansion without Gao Dutong's and my permission, if not, be careful of your dog's head."

The guard said fearfully, "Reverend Lu, don't worry, I understand."

Lu Yongzhi nodded in satisfaction, and walked towards Gao Pian's secret room.When Lu Yongzhi walked away, the guard looked contemptuously at the direction in which Lu Yongzhi disappeared, spit out a mouthful of "bah", and cursed in a low voice: "What the hell, a dog's power..."

Another guard smiled and said, "I said brother, why didn't you say that when that bullying thing was here just now?"

The guard just now looked at him like an idiot and said, "What do you think of me? Now that I know that he is a dog, am I not afraid that this vicious dog will bite me?"

"Hey..." The two snickered together.

In Gao Pian's secret room, Gao Pian sat cross-legged. In such a closed space, Gao Pian's long silver-white hair was floating strangely. There is still thick steam coming out of the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head.The fine beads of sweat on his forehead are slowly gathering together, becoming larger drops of sweat, slowly flowing down the carved wrinkles on his face, Gao Pian is practicing kung fu to a critical moment, Seeing Gao Pian's eyes slightly closed, with a solemn expression on his face, his face was so red that he was about to bleed, there seemed to be an invisible aura around him, and the dust and particles in the air could hardly come within five feet of Gao Pian. Inside.

Suddenly, Gao Pian let out a long whistle, the whistle was sharp and high-pitched, and it spread far away.

After the long cry, Gao Pian opened his eyes, and the light disappeared in a flash, and then he still turned slumped, Gao Pian failed again.

Suddenly Gao Pian's face darkened, and he shouted in the direction of the door: "Who? Come out!"

Lv Yongzhi, who was hiding at the door, was full of cleverness, hurried in, bowed and said, "Gao Dutong's miraculous skills are world-renowned, you can hear the movement as soon as I arrive at the door, I admire you so much." In fact, Lv Yongzhi came It's been a long time at the door, and I've been watching Gao Pian's reaction during his practice.He held his breath all the time, for fear that Gao Pian would find out, but he did not expect Gao Pian to find out, so this sentence was not just flattery.

After Gao Pian saw Lu Yongzhi, the gloomy look on his face gradually receded, and he managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "What's the matter with Reverend Lu today? But has there been any change in the battle situation?"

Lu Yongzhi said: "Master Dutong has been in seclusion for many days, so I don't want to disturb you. To be honest, the current situation is quite unfavorable to us!"

Gao Pian was surprised and said, "How disadvantageous? Didn't Huang Chao agree to surrender in surprise?"

Lv Yongzhi sighed, "Huang Chao didn't believe his words. Seeing that all the troops in the north had withdrawn, he turned his face and turned his back on him. Generals Zhang Lin and Liang Zuan were defeated and killed. Bi Shiduo was also defeated in Caishiji. Huang Chao has now passed the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and has easily occupied Hezhou and Chuzhou. Shang Rang and Meng Kai have surrounded Tianchang and Liuhe respectively, and they are only a hundred miles away from Yangzhou City."

Gao Pian's face changed slightly, and he said with a sneer, "I didn't expect Huang Chao to have such a hand. Hmph, it seems that I underestimated him." Gao Pian paused, then rolled his eyes suddenly, and said, "Could it be Is there no one in the south of the Yangtze River to stop these gangsters?"

Lu Yongzhi pretended to sigh and said: "The general doesn't know, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River has always been supported by General Zhang Lin Zhang. After General Zhang was defeated and killed, how could other people from all walks of life be Huang Chao's opponent? With 15 horses, it is really not as good as it was back then!"

Gao Pian pondered for a while, then proudly said: "I would like to meet Huang Chao in person, to see if he is superhuman or not!"

Of course Lu Yongzhi knew Gao Pian's ability. Although Gao Pian only had 10 horsemen, he had fought on the battlefield for decades and never lost a single defeat. He was by no means comparable to a reckless hero like Huang Chao.But Huang Chao has an army of 15, which is much more powerful than Gao Pian, and it is a new victory, with high morale, so the outcome of this battle is still a bit unpredictable.The most likely situation is a situation where both sides suffer. Of course, Lu Yongzhi does not want to cause a situation where both sides suffer. He also wants to use Gao Pian's 10 troops to separate one side!

Lu Yongzhi said: "Although the general can be called the god of war, Huang Chao is not an incompetent person. Now the court is incompetent. When the general is needed, the general is worshiped as a god. When the general is not needed, he does not necessarily treat the general. , Didn’t the general see Kang Chengxun’s fate back then?”

After hearing Lu Yongzhi's words, Gao Pian couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He hesitated for a while, paced back and forth in the room, finally raised his head, stared at Lu Yongzhi, and said, "What trick does Master Lu have?" ?”

Lu Yongzhi said in his heart: "Obviously you already have an idea in your heart, but you still ask me, you are an old fox." But he said: "Nowadays the world is in chaos, the Tang Dynasty is in decline, and heroes from all walks of life rise together. I watch the sky at night, and the sky It indicates that Li Tang's world will fall in the next few years, and the new emperor should be in Huainan! General, why don't you make plans early while you have a large army in your hands?" Lu Yongzhi even talked nonsense in order to prevent Gao Pian and Huang Chao from fighting recklessly.

Gao Pian's eyes lit up, although he knew that Lu Yongzhi's words might not be credible, but the temptation of Lu Yongzhi's words was too strong, strong enough to make Gao Pian forget his reason.Gao Pian is also a human being, with desires and ambitions, but he has never really thought about it.Now Lu Yongzhi is just reminding him, seriously Gao Pian is just using Lu Yongzhi's words to find a reason for himself.

No matter what the reason is, Gao Pian has completely given up his plan to fight head-on with Huang Chao. He decided to support himself and separate himself from Huainan.

But Gao Pian has been an official in the Tang Dynasty for many years, and he couldn't get rid of this face. He sighed slowly and said: "These days I am busy studying the way of heaven, and I have no time to take care of worldly affairs. I will let Master Lu handle everything. I will order all the generals in Huainan to guard the city tightly, protect their own territory, and not to start a war with Huang Chao."

Then Gao Pian wrote to the court again, saying: "Huangchao's 60 troops stationed in Tianchang and Liuhe, less than a hundred miles away from the city of the minister, the minister's soldiers are few, not enough to fight, and the minister is old, and now the stroke has recurred, and he has been bedridden for months. It's too much. I hope the court will send troops as soon as possible to reject Huang Chao!"

Is there a truth in Gao Pian's memorial?If Huang Chao really had an army of 60, wouldn't he have leveled his lofty Yangzhou city early?How could he, Gao Pian, calmly give memorials to the court?It was nothing more than an excuse to not want to start a war with Huang Chao.

Ever since Gao Pian wrote last time that Huang Chao was "not going to be peaceful", the city of Chang'an was full of vitality, as if it was a scene of peace. Emperor Li Xuan still played polo all day long, fighting cocks and betting geese, and had a great time.Gao Pian's emergency memorial was rushed to Chang'an City after traveling six hundred miles, and the capital was greatly shaken.Li Xuan yelled at Gao Pian for deceiving the emperor, and he deserved death.

Because Gao Pian was recommended by Lu Xie, and because of Gao Pian's repeated victories a few days ago, even this Lu Xie was doubly favored. dare not come out.Fearing that the emperor would blame him, who would have thought that he was really depressed and ill after lying in bed, and the fake illness turned into a real illness.Emperor Li Xuan also had nothing to do with him, and even sent someone to comfort his illness, which made Li Xuan extremely depressed.

Li Xuan asked the ministers of the Zhongshu Province to discuss the countermeasures, and first of all, the ministers cursed Gao Pian: "I said earlier that Gao Pian is not enough to take on important responsibilities, and it really is!"

"Gao Pian has no great talent, and he has no reputation as a famous general, but he is not enough to achieve great things."

"Gao Pian doesn't have much ability at all. When Lu Xie recommended Gao Pian as the governor, I didn't agree with it. Now I finally see it?"

……

They are swearing at Gao Pian here, accusing Lu and his referees of being unfavorable, but they never thought that when Gao Pian's general Zhang Lin won consecutive battles, they were the ones who praised Gao Pian for his hard work, the god of war, the general who always won, etc. Wait for everything.When they met Lu Xie, they often praised him for his good recommendation, his insight into heroes, and other flattery words also came from their mouths.But now they stand on the opposite side with Gao Pian and Lu Xie in a blink of an eye, which makes people think of the fickleness of the world and the warmth of human feelings.

So Lu Xie's illness was feigned, rather than angry.

But these people scolded and scolded, and the matter should be resolved after scolding.First of all, the imperial court issued an edict to blame Gao Pian for his ineffectiveness, which caused Huang Chao to cross the Yangtze River, and ordered Gao Pian to attack with all his strength, so that Huang Chao's men and horses must be trapped in Huainan...

Then Zhuge Shuang was appointed as the recruiting envoy of the northern camp; Cao Quanzhen, the governor of the Tianping Army, was appointed as the recruiting envoy of the eastern camp; State; Tiaozhongwu Army (based in Xuzhou), Probation Army (based in Xuzhou), Yiwu Army, Yisheng Army and other vassals and towns with 3000 troops assembled in Lushui...

The defense of the imperial court is not tight, there are not many soldiers and horses, and the generals are not incompetent, but these ministers in Chang'an City are still a little worried. After all, even a veteran like Gao Pian who has fought for a lifetime has a hundred thousand troops in his hands Under such circumstances, they are unable to check and balance Huang Chao, which shows how powerful Huang Chao is.Although they didn't believe Gao Pian's statement that Huang Chao had an army of 60, they thought that there would still be 30 to [-]!

Can the several armies of the Tang Dynasty resist the pace of Huang Chao's rebel army going north?Will Gao Pian take any action after receiving Li Xuan's rebuke?What amazing performance will Zhu Wen have in the war going north?
