subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Others don't know Shi Pu's family history, but Zhu Wen knows it very well. Shi Pu was originally a general of the probation army. By chance, the Jiedu envoy sent him to lead 3000 troops to support Chang'an and encircle and suppress Huang Chao. The Jiedushi was cleaned up, and he became a Jiedushi himself.

This kind of thing was not uncommon in the late Tang Dynasty, and it was not very embarrassing. On the contrary, Shi Pu was often proud of it.

Later, Shi Pu took aim at the opportunity and chased after Huang Chao when he was defeated and fled. He chased all the way to Langhu Valley in Shandong. That is, later Li Maozhen).He was robbed halfway by Shi Pu's general Li Shiyue, and Song Wentong and others were short of troops, so they had to return bitterly.This huge credit fell to Shi Pu. When all kinds of people fought against Huang Chao, Shi Pu was just the stuff to wave the flag, who would have thought that he would become the biggest winner in the end?

Therefore, Shi Pu was identified as the greatest hero in encircling and suppressing Huang Chao. This is the case in the land of China. No matter what the process is, it mainly depends on the outcome. Li Keyong was also very angry about this after fighting a big battle and fighting so many tough battles, but in the end the credit fell to Shi Pu.Li Keyong thought he had made the most contributions, but he was named the king of the county like Shi Pu, the soy sauce maker. At that time, Li Keyong was named the king of Longxi County, Shi Pu was the king of Pengcheng County, and Zhu Wen had no title at that time. .

After Shi Pu became the king of Pengcheng County, Shi Pu's confidence was extremely inflated. For a long time, he really thought that all the feudal towns in the world would follow his lead. Go big.However, during this period of time, the probation army has indeed become more prosperous than before, and the soldiers are strong and strong, at least on the surface.

It wasn't until later that the imperial court appointed Shi Pu as the commander of the four-sided camp in Caizhou, which made Shi Pu's confidence soar, thinking that he was the real general of the army and horses, and he could calmly dispatch all kinds of troops.Who knew that Zhu Wen, who was in charge of the camp in the east at that time, would not let him go at all, which made Shi Pu very upset.

In addition, when Shi Pu fought against Qin Zongquan repeatedly, his extremely inflated confidence gradually dimmed. At this time, he realized that he was just a Jiedu envoy of the probation army. Although Xuzhou soldiers were famous However, the Huaixi Army in Caizhou is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It has been rebelling almost throughout the nearly 300-year history of the Tang Dynasty, repeatedly conquering and rebelling.It wasn't until Li Yanxue attacked Caizhou at night and captured Wu Yuanji alive that he canceled the designation of the Huaixi Army, merged Caizhou into the Zhongwu Army, and established the government in Xuzhou. Later, it was considered stable.

However, Caizhou's nature is cruel and easy to kill, and the people's customs are tough. Even Shi Pu's Xuzhou army is willing to bow down.On the contrary, Zhu Wen won many battles with Qin Zongquan. Later, the position of all camps in Caizhou naturally fell on Zhu Wen.

This point makes Shi Pu's teeth itch with hatred, but there is no way, the facts are there, he has the ability, he can win the battle, but he can't beat him at all, Shi Pu still has self-knowledge about this.

Later, Zhu Wen added the titles of Wuxing County King and Dongping King, and Zhao Dechen, the surrendered general Zhu Wen recruited, was also named Huai'an County King. At this time, Shi Pu knew that the county king of the Li Tang Dynasty was so worthless. It seems that he is Pengcheng The king of the county does not have much gold content.Shi Pu's plan to do a big fight was aborted. He didn't blame himself for not being able to beat Qin Zongquan, but Zhu Wen took credit from him.

At this time, Pu was really, co-authoring, he still wanted to let him take advantage of it at the last moment like last time!Where in the world is there such a good thing?But Shi Pu was not angry in his heart, he gritted his teeth with hatred for Zhu Wen, and it happened that Zhu Jin, the governor of the Taining Army, sent an envoy to lobby to join forces with the probation army to resist Zhu Wen.

This hit right into Shi Pu's arms. At first, I felt that I was not sure how to deal with Zhu Wen. Although Zhu Jin of the Taining Army was not very strong, who didn't know that Zhu Jin and Zhu Xuan of the Tianping Army were cousins. To unite, even Shi Pu has to stand aside.Now that the three towns are united, it is not easy to deal with Zhu Wen?

But what happened next made Shi Pu very depressed. First of all, Zhu Zhen occupied Tengxian and Peixian counties without any preparation, and she hurriedly assembled people, and more than 1 people were actually made dumplings by Zhu Zhen.At this moment, Shi Pu knew Zhu Wen's strength, but he was not afraid, because he knew that Zhu Zhen only had more than 2 horses in his hands, and it was okay to fight against his own small counties, but if he really wanted to fight a big battle, he would not be able to.While gathering troops to guard Pengcheng (Xuzhou's seat), he gathered troops westward to prepare for a battle with Zhu Zhen, but Zhu Zhen suddenly withdrew his troops, making Shi Pu powerless and unable to use him. He wanted to chase but was afraid of being hit. The only way is to gather troops first, and it will not be too late to fight when the army gathers.

It took half a month to find out that Zhu Zhen had gone to Weibo Town, and Shi Pu was furious, and immediately ordered Songzhou to be attacked.The governor of Songzhou is Zhang Cunjing now. Old Zhang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He has not fought for a long time, and his hands are a little itchy. Hearing that Xuzhou dared to take the initiative, he immediately laughed and arranged to deploy troops overnight.

The [-] elite troops from Xuzhou came out day and night to sneak attack Songzhou. They wanted to take down Songzhou first, but they didn't know that their whereabouts had been reported to Zhang Cunjing by the Xuanwu Army's spies. Just waiting for these Xuzhou soldiers to enter the urn.

There is no doubt about this battle, Zhang Cunjing won a complete victory, and less than three thousand of Xuzhou's [-] elites fled back. This time, Shi Pu was completely angry, and his soldiers seemed to be strong and strong. How did they get to the Xuanwu Army? So vulnerable?

Shi Pu was also in a hurry. He assembled all the mobile forces that the probationary army could mobilize, and gathered 7 troops. However, this large-scale mobilization of troops cannot be completed in a day or two. When the fighting in Yunzhou and Weibo Town had come to an end, Shi Pu's troops were basically in place and ready to attack.

But at this time Zhu Wen's general Pang Shigu had already arrived in Bozhou, Ding Hui and Niu Cunjie went directly to Dangshan, and Zhang Cunjing could fight at any time in Songzhou. Although his strength was small, it also put a lot of pressure on Shi Pu.What's more, Zhu Zhen and Li Tangbin's 2 horses are already on the way.

But even if Zhu Zhen and Li Tangbin arrived, they were still no match for him in terms of military strength. Shi Pu was still full of confidence. He had used all the strength of the probation army to prepare for this war, so he was determined to win and could not afford to lose. So he is not in a hurry to play.

Zhu Zhen's troops rushed to Dangshan almost day and night these days, not only because Zhu Wen's eldest brother Zhu Yu was in Dangshan, but also because Dangshan was the place where he and Zhu Wen lived together, and they stayed there for a long time. For nearly half a year, Zhu Wen helped Liu Chong's family plant the land, while Zhu Zhen and Zhu Cun went hunting all day long, and in their spare time, the three of them practiced martial arts...

But now, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, Zhu Wen has become the overlord of the dominant side, and he himself has become the general who commands Fang Qiu on the battlefield, but Zhu Cun has long since returned to the sky, remembering the happy time when the three were together, and how they were together. During the days when she went to Songzhou City to make a living, Zhu Zhen's eyes glistened with tears.He hit the fast-running horse under his crotch with a whip, and rushed forward at the head of the horse.

Li Tangbin who was beside him shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to keep up. Now the infantry of the brigade had been left behind, and only the cavalry was still on their way non-stop.

Sometimes for soldiers, time is the concept of winning or losing. Zhu Zhen has fought for so many years, so of course she is well aware of this. Shi Pu has assembled an army of 7 in Yongzhou. 1 is not a small number. Just because Ding Hui and Niu Cunjie's 1 horsemen and Pang Shigu's [-] people are no match at all, the most important thing is that Ding Hui and Pang Shigu do not have advanced weapons, muskets and grenades, so they will definitely There were mass casualties, which Zhu Zhen did not want to see.

What's more, the war of cold weapons is mainly filled by human lives. Although the Xuanwu Army is strong and strong, it does not mean that the Xuanwu Army can really fight at the expense of the lives and deaths of soldiers. Fighting against Qin Zongquan for years, fighting against the coalition forces of Li Keyong and Li Hanzhi in Luoyang, suppressing the rebellion of the Chengcheng army, attacking Weibo Town, Tianping Army, Taining Army, and Zhanjiao Army, which war does not need spend money?Which war does not require troops?Therefore, although the Xuanwu Army has developed rapidly in the past few years, it is not that the military and financial resources have been stretched. There are many tough battles to be fought, and these veterans who have been baptized on the battlefield are an important resource, something that cannot be bought with money.

If recruiting recruits hastily, it would take a certain amount of time, but more time would be spent on training. Zhu Zhen, a master trainer under Zhu Wen, knew this better than anyone else.The time it takes for a recruit to become a veteran on the battlefield cannot be completed in three to two months, unless like Qin Zongquan, he just grabs some strong men and pulls them out to fight, but people like him seem to have a lot of troops , but it was completely vulnerable. In a real big battle, once those people under his command bombed the camp, they would die a lot just by trampling on each other. Zhu Zhen would rather not have that kind of soldier, and he is not qualified to be a civilian husband.

This war has already had a rough outline in Zhu Zhen's mind, and he is now thinking about the details of various aspects, trying to be foolproof, take down Xuzhou at the lowest cost, and capture Shi Pu alive.For this point, Zhu Zhen has absolute confidence.
