subvert the late Tang Dynasty

At this time, Zhu Wen looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was turbulent in his heart, because he found that history had deviated from its original track and was changing quietly. There was a turbulent wave in Wen's heart.

The historical pattern that he thought could not be broken finally deviated from his proper track under his own efforts. Originally, in history, the war between Zhu Wen and Zhu Xuan, Zhu Jin, and Shi Pu was protracted and lasted for nearly ten years. Although Zhu Wen won, it was a disastrous victory, and the loss was extremely heavy. Once again, Zhu Zhen was tricked by someone else to feign surrender, and the entire army was wiped out.

But none of this happened under Zhu Wen's command, and Zhu Zhen was not even allowed to participate in the wars against Yunzhou and Yanzhou. Let Zhu Zhen deal with Shi Pu, but he took on the task of attacking Shandong himself.Unexpectedly, it went so smoothly. Even before the three thousand cavalry of Li Keyong's general Li Chengsi arrived, Zhu Xuan had already died, and it was only a matter of time before the city of Yanzhou was destroyed.

The current Zhu Wen is no longer the same Zhu Wen when he first came to ancient times, but almost owns the overlord of the entire Central Plains, except for the Pinglu Army (Ziqing) occupied by Wang Shifan, the son of Wang Jingwu, Wang Rong of the Chengde Army, and the Yiwu Army With the exception of Wang Chucun and Li Kuangwei of Lulong Town, almost all of the Central Plains has been included in Zhu Wen's territory.

Shi Pu was now trapped in Xuzhou. Under Li Shiyue's life-threatening attack, the [-] army broke out. They turned and killed Li Shiyue and his supervising team. Some of them went to Zhu Zhen and Pang Shigu, and the other part Died among the rebellious army, only a few escaped.

Shi Pu was shocked and could only defend Xuzhou to the death. There were only 8000 people in the city, and 8000 people could not be too many or too few. Under normal circumstances, it would be easy to defend Xuzhou, but unfortunately, Zhu Zhen's team was not ordinary. They have explosives, grenades, and muskets. In this era of cold weapons, this kind of weapon is almost the king, and it can almost turn the war into a one-sided massacre.

The siege battle started, with gunshots like popping beans one after another, the defenders on the city wall did not dare to raise their heads, and there was no chance to fire the rolling logs, stones, bows and arrows, so that the soldiers under Zhu Zhen could calmly place the explosives on the city gate After a dull bang, the heavy gate of Xuzhou City was blown to pieces, and the city was broken. Zhu Zhen's men, Ma Ping, swarmed in with rifles in their hands, and when they met the Xuzhou army who was trying to resist, they shot their heads with blood and brains everywhere. It splashed out like a shattered watermelon.

The defenders were on the verge of collapse both psychologically and morale. Most of the soldiers put down their weapons and took the initiative to be prisoners. The autumn sun shone on the earth and was warm, but the hearts of the defenders in Xuzhou, But colder than ice cubes.

Shi Pu gathered all his wives and concubines together, and climbed to the Yangui Building in the backyard of the Xuzhou Jiedushi Yamen. The upstairs was doused with vegetable oil. Seeing the completely one-sided war situation in Xuzhou City.Shi Pu sighed often, he knew that the general situation was over, and he had no chance to make a comeback in this life, even if he escaped from Xuzhou by chance, so what?Is it possible to live that kind of life under the fence from now on?

Shi Pu turned around sharply, looked at his wife and children, and said slowly: "Which one of you wants to leave, there is still time, or you will be turned into a pile of burnt rubble in a while."

Where are his wives and concubines really willing to die with Shi Pu?It's just because of helplessness. At this time, I heard that I can not die. Of course, one is happier than the other, especially those young concubines of Shi Pu. They don't have much relationship with Shi Pu themselves. It's just their status, the picture is food and drink and the inexhaustible gold and silver, now they are asked to accompany Shi Pu to die, they are forced by Shi Pu's coercion, of course they dare not say anything, but there is a secret in their bones. Thought, that is to live.Only in the face of death can people truly feel the importance of life.

The first one to stand up, there will be the second, and the third, more and more people stood up, trying to escape from here, Shi Pu looked at them coldly, without saying a word.When the concubine who walked to the door first was about to open the door, there was a soft "swish", and a mace pierced deeply into the back of the woman's heart, she turned her head slowly, Seeing Shi Pu who loves her very much, she wanted to talk, but when she opened her mouth, blood came out of her mouth. She couldn't believe that Shi Pu would kill her, but her consciousness gradually disappeared, and finally He fell to the ground with a bang, and did not close his eyes until he died.

This scene stunned everyone upstairs. Looking at Shi Pu again, his eyes were full of murderous intent. The peace just now was gone. Dozens of women retreated embarrassingly, but they dared not Returning to Shi Pu's side, he just looked at the iron bow in Shi Pu's hand from a distance of five or six steps.

Shi Pu glanced at these women slowly, his eyes were full of contempt, he turned his head and looked affectionately at the woman beside him who had not moved, only she had not moved, she was snatched back by Shi Pu from Shang Rang Wife Liu Jinzhi.

Shi Pu sighed, and said: "I really didn't expect that in the end, you were the only one who followed me sincerely. I, Shi Pu, was able to be husband and wife with you for these three years, and this life is not in vain." Shi Pu opened his hand He looked into Liu Jinzhi's eyes affectionately, and said calmly: "I am Fangjie Town, and I cannot die at the hands of Zhu Zhen's children. You are all me too." Shi Pu's women should not be ruined by those vulgar generals of the Xuanwu Army, it's better for you to stay with me and save yourself from suffering..."

As he spoke, he was about to light the fire, and just as the torch in his hand was about to approach the oil-sprinkled veil, Liu Jinzhi suddenly said, "Wait!"

Shi Pu turned his head in astonishment, looked into Liu Jinzhi's eyes, and asked in doubt, "What else do you want to say?"

Liu Jinzhi took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down his mood, tried his best to make his tone gentler, and said lightly: "How can we say that we have been married for nearly three years, before you die, you Don't you want to give me a hug?"

At this moment, this hero Shi Pu who is about to die, this murderous and ruthless Shi Pu, his heart couldn't help but warm up, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart: If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?If I hadn't been greedy for wealth and power, if I hadn't been a vassal town, if I was just a commoner, I would have planted land, raised silkworms, weaved cloth in the mountains with her, raised a flock of chickens and ducks, and had a flock of children ... What a wonderful life that would be!

Shi Pu, a cold and iron-blooded man, also had crystal clear tears in his eyes, since as long as he can remember, he has never shed tears. This is the first time, and I am afraid it will be the last time!

He opened his arms and walked towards Liu Jinzhi. He has been her husband and wife for nearly three years, and now it seems like he is getting to know her for the first time. Although he loved her and loved her before, it was because she was Shang Rang's wife. Shang Rang killed himself again, so he couldn't help being a little wary of her. Now he realizes how wrong he was before. If he could do it all over again, he would rather give up his hegemony, his status, his rights and Wealth, to accompany her to live in seclusion in the mountains, to live a life that only envies mandarin ducks but not immortals...

Suddenly Shi Pu felt a chill in his heart, he was startled suddenly, lowered his head blankly, and saw a dagger stuck in his chest, blood was flowing out from the dagger, staining the crystal clear slender palm holding the dagger red.Shi Pu looked unbelievable, he looked up blankly, looked at Liu Jinzhi, wanted to speak, but a bunch of blood bubbles came out of his mouth.

The dagger directly hit the heart. Even if Hua Tuo was alive, he could not save his fate of dying. The strength in his body was rapidly disappearing, and the iron bow in his hand could not be grasped firmly. on the wooden floor.

Shi Pu closed his eyes slowly, and waved his hand forward in vain, while Liu Jinzhi had already stepped back five or six steps, and the distance of these five or six steps seemed to be an insurmountable gap...

Liu Jinzhi panted heavily, the knife just now seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and now the dagger in her hand was still stuck in Shi Pu's heart, and there was no weapon in her hand to attack, she looked at the mouth that burst into tears. Shi Pu, who was bleeding, said bitterly: "You dog thief, I endured you for three years just for this day. You killed my husband and took my body. I wish I could eat your flesh. Don't you feel disgusted when you drink your blood and you talk about feelings with me?"

Due to Liu Jinzhi's weak strength, although he stabbed Shi Pu's heart, he didn't stab deeply, and the dagger didn't have a blood groove, so the blood couldn't come out for a while, so Shi Pu didn't die for a while.Shi Pu's face was distorted, full of pain, and he wanted to go forward to grab Liu Jinzhi, but his steps seemed to be heavy, and he couldn't move no matter what.

Looking at Shi Pu's appearance, Liu Jinzhi felt extremely frightened in his heart. Seeing that Shi Pu didn't have the strength to resist, he felt relieved and continued: "These are women who have had skin-to-skin relationships with you, and you are powerless to protect them." But you want them to be buried with you, how can you bear it? Xiaoqi is such a well-behaved girl, but she was killed by you in such a cold way, you still have the face to say that you and them are your women, you are not worthy at all, You are a coward, a complete coward..."

Shi Pu was extremely angry, his face flushed red, he wanted to open his mouth to shout, but a mouthful of blood arrows spewed out from his mouth, so he fell down and never moved again.But the torch in his hand fell on the wooden floor sprinkled with vegetable oil, and the flame quickly ignited.A group of women upstairs hurriedly rushed downstairs with Liu Jinzhi, only Shi Pu lay quietly in the flames, and was soon swallowed by the flames...
