subvert the late Tang Dynasty

The Tianping Army, the Taining Army, and the Probation Army are all directly controlled by Zhu Wen. These three-way feudal towns, any one of which is pulled out alone is a powerful territory, and now it has been taken by Zhu Wen one after another in just over a month. Next, the surrounding feudal towns are not afraid that it is fake.

Luo Hongxin of Weibo Town is even more grateful to himself for making a very correct decision. If not, Weibo Town may have changed hands now, although the strength of Weibo Town is not like that of Tianping Army and Taining Army The feudal towns are comparable, but the three of them were easily wiped out when they joined forces. Of course, I don't have the confidence to stop the car with my arms.Although Weibo Town is a big town, there have been civil strife all these years. In addition, Han Jian used to use up the army in the past, and Weibo Town was very depleted. Now it is just a huge empty shelf. Wen this evil star.

Although Luo Hongxin offended Li Keyong this time and stopped Li Keyong from supporting the Taining Army, the lesser of two evils, although Li Keyong is strong and ruthless, he is not as strong as Zhu Wen Such a powerful strength that can wipe out other people's feudal towns all the way while talking and laughing.

Not only Luo Hongxin thinks this way, but Wang Rong from Chengde Town also thinks the same way. Wang Rong's territory is not far from Zhu Wen, and there is a Yellow River in the middle. , Hastily sent envoys to Bianliang with a large number of gifts to celebrate Zhu Wen's triumphant return.

At the same time, Sun Ru also expressed his loyalty to Zhu Wen. Now that Sun Ru is fighting Yang Xingmi, he doesn't want to be flanked by Zhu Wenwen and Yang Xingmi. It is not comparable to a rising star like Yang Xingmi.

At this time, Zhu Jin was leading thousands of people all the way south. He originally wanted to go west to seek refuge with the relatively powerful Li Keyong, but he met Li Chengsi on the way. Li Chengsi's 1 cavalry were originally to rescue Yanzhou. Thinking that Yanzhou had already fallen before reaching Yanzhou, the two joined forces, and there were more than 2 people, plus some civilian husbands accompanying the army, and the government officials and arresters brought by Zhu Jin from Yanzhou, there were nearly [-] people. million people.

They had just walked west for less than a hundred miles and entered the border of Weibo Town, when they were warned that Weibo Town prohibited large groups of people from crossing the border.Li Chengsi asked about the whereabouts of Li Siyuan, Kang Junli and others, and was told that he had returned to Hedong.Li Chengsi had no choice but to discuss countermeasures with Zhu Jin.

Zhu Jin thought for a while and said, "It seems that Wei Bozhen and Zhu Wen are already in harmony, and this road will not work."

He wanted to take a detour to the north to go to the Zhaoyi army, but Meng Fangli, the governor of the Zhaoyi army, had a rift with Li Keyong.

Although Zhu Wen knew about their marching route, he did not stop it, because relatively speaking, Zhu Wen still hoped to strengthen Yang Xingmi's strength. Knowing that Yang Xingmi is a man, he is not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately.He also takes good care of the people in the territory, develops production, and opens up wasteland. He is a man of great talent and strategy.

So Zhu Wen was also happy to let them rely on Yang Xingmi. Originally, the strength gap between Yang Xingmi and Sun Ru was quite large. Now, with the addition of Zhu Jin and Li Chengsi's more than 1 elite soldiers, it is a bit uncertain who will win the battle with Sun Ru for hegemony in Huainan. .This is also a kind of balance. For Zhu Wen who is familiar with historical allusions, he certainly knows that sometimes maintaining the balance of various forces is also a strategy. Otherwise, if Sun Ru destroys Yang Xingmi, Sun Ru will definitely increase his strength.Who is Sun Ru? Of course, Zhu Wen is clear. Like Qin Zongquan, he is the kind of wolf that is not familiar with it. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will bite people indiscriminately.

It is not Zhu Wen's style to just attack the city and seize territory blindly. He does not want to be like Huang Chao, who won't know how to defend the city after he conquers it. , that doesn't make any sense.

Rice needs to be eaten bite by bite, of course Zhu Wen is very clear about this truth.

At this time, Zhu Wen was rushing back to Bianliang with a large group of people. Since this trip was returning to the army, he was not in a hurry, so Zhu Wen did not ride a horse, but sat in a luxurious four-horse carriage. It is spacious, and the interior of the car is also very elegantly decorated. Of course, Zhu Wen does not need to do these things himself, and of course there are special personnel to manage them.

In the spacious and luxurious carriage, Zhu Wen and Huang Ying sat opposite each other. Neither of them spoke. Since Huang Ying promised to go back to Bianliang with Zhu Wen, of course she would not break her promise. What's more, she also wanted to see Zhu Wen's wife Xiaohui , to see what kind of person she is.It must be a very attractive woman who can make someone like Zhu Wen bow his head and obey his ears.

As the distance from Bianliang got closer, Huang Ying's heart became more and more nervous. She didn't know why she was nervous, that is, that kind of inexplicable nervousness. She couldn't explain the reason, and her mood became more and more irritable. stand up.

However, Zhu Wen's expression was only indifferent, showing no joy or anger.Huang Ying secretly sighed in her heart, at this time Zhu Wen was no longer the original Zhu Wen, he had changed from the original passionate young man into an all-powerful overlord, the overlord of the Central Plains, who stomped his feet and half the world would shake flick character.

Zhu Wen suddenly smiled, and said: "We will be in Bianliang soon, and now my son may have arrived in Bianliang first. Are you happy to see him?"

Huang Ying smiled bitterly, and said, "What does it matter to you if I'm happy or not? I am me, you are you, and now you are the prince. I am just a prisoner captured by you. So what if I am happy? I am not happy." So what?"

Zhu Wen also smiled wryly and shook his head, saying: "It seems that you still hate me a little bit in your heart. I am very sorry for what happened in Tongzhou back then, but I am also very helpless."

Huang Ying didn't answer, but just looked at the slowly receding scenery outside the window, and didn't know what was going on in her heart.

……

Outside the city of Bianliang, the Chinese and military officials in the city were all wearing formal official robes and waiting outside the city. Xu Huaiyu and Xu Huaiyu adjusted their clothes subconsciously, and the people behind them were even more excited and at a loss. Now Zhu Wen is like a heavenly existence in the hearts of these officials.

In their hearts, Zhu Wen is the supreme existence, most of them are officials directly appointed by Zhu Wen, and some are even appointed by Jing Xiang, so they directly regard Zhu Wen as the supreme existence, but Li Tang, the court They have no place in their hearts at all, because they know very well that their official career has nothing to do with the Chang'an court.

Who can be an official is not a human being?They are very clear that their future has such a great relationship with the person who is coming in front of them. In the entire Central Plains, the future of almost everyone is in the hands of Zhu Wen. How can they not be here to pick him up?

Outside Bianliang City, there was a lively scene. Zhu Wen got out of the carriage and accepted everyone's kneeling. Now he is used to this kind of scene. If he doesn't let people kneel down, these officials will be terrified and don't know what they did wrong. , all day anxiously asking around to see where I went wrong.There was such a thing before, an official saw Zhu Wen and wanted to kneel down, but Zhu Wen refused to let him kneel down. As a result, the man lost five or six catties in three days. Later, when he asked Jing Xiang about it, Jing Xiang laughed it off and took good care of him. After some reassurance, the official stopped worrying.From that time on, Zhu Wen no longer prevented people from kneeling down. In Zhu Wen's words, he was doing as the Romans do!

When Zhu Wen entered the city, he did not take a cart, but rode a tall horse, which was the snatched "Yizhangwu". The horse was black and shiny, with a strong body, half a head taller than ordinary horses.Surrounded by all the generals, Zhu Wen entered the city, and the broad streets were lined with warmly welcoming people.Zhu Wen can clearly see that these people are sincerely cheering, sincerely happy, and sincerely supporting...

At this moment, Zhu Wen felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. Looking at the excited crowd, seeing the old people kneeling and kneeling with tears, their lips trembling and saying words that he couldn't understand. Of course Zhu Wen didn't know that there were so many people. What they were talking about, but he could understand the feelings of these people very well. Over the years, the land of the Central Plains had gone through several wars, and had never treated the people like Zhu Wen did.How can this not move the people?

Zhu Wen rode on the horse, waving his arms frequently, greeting the people.

Finally arrived at the gate of the mansion, the sound of cheers behind him gradually faded away, and people from a long distance saw the lights and festoons in front of them, and when they saw Zhu Wen's team at the gate, they started to set off firecrackers, crackling firecrackers, silk, bamboo and drum music Started playing.A few teenagers ran over from a distance.

The leader was Zhu Youning, the oldest, followed by Zhu Youlun, Zhu Youyu, etc., and even five or six-year-old Kang Qin (Zhu Youwen) also ran out. Only Zhu Yougui and Zhu Youzhen were young, only three or four years old. They can't afford to be held in the arms of the nanny to prevent them from running around, for fear that something will go wrong.

Zhu Wen got off his horse from a distance, and patted Zhu Youning's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Youlun has grown taller again, reaching the height of my chest, and he has become a young man."

Zhu Youlun called Third Uncle, then said with a smile: "When I grow up, I will be a general like Third Uncle and lead the army to fight. How majestic it is!"

But Zhu Youlun followed and said: "What's so good about fighting? You see, Third Uncle doesn't stay home all day. Grandma and aunts look forward to his return every day like the stars and the moon. We can't see him when we miss Third Uncle. What's so good about life? I don't have to worry my family. When I grow up, I will be the best talent in the world, with poems and songs, beautiful articles..."

Zhu Youyu and Kang Qin, who followed behind, didn't say much because they were a little younger. They just looked at this father whom they hadn't seen for a long time. They are all smaller Zhu Wen, who can't tell that he is Zhu Wen's son?We all know it well and don't point it out.In fact, even Kang Jian was like a bright mirror in his heart. The reason why he was able to get Zhu Wen's extraordinary promotion was very clear in his heart, so he received a notice from Zhu Wen that he should send Kang Qin to Bianzhou. Sent it without hesitation.
