subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Zhu Wen made such a big commotion here, how could other feudal towns not know about it?Of course, these matters cannot be hidden from the imperial court, and the matter of Zhu Wen's recommendation of Ge Congzhou as the military governor of Taining Army was quickly answered.

Emperor Zhaozong of Tang decreed that Ge Congzhou was appointed Deputy Jiedu envoy of the Taining Army, Huo Cun was appointed Deputy Jiedu envoy of the Tianping Army, including the Jiedu envoy of the Yicheng Army Hu Zhen was also relegated to the deputy envoy of Jiedu. Zhu Wen is in charge of all of them alone. With the addition of Xuanwu Army, there are now four feudal towns under Zhu Wen's direct jurisdiction.In addition, Luo Hongxin of Weibo Town (where the government is located in Weizhou) secretly controlled, Zhao Dejiao of Shannan Dongdao (where the government is located in Xiangyang), Zhang Quanyi of Henan Prefecture (where the government is located in Luoyang), Zhongwujun (the original government is located in Xuzhou, and later moved to Zhao Ji from Chenzhou, Pang Shigu who is temporarily in charge of military affairs in Xuzhou, and Heyang who is temporarily acting as Jiedushi in Dinghui. To put it bluntly, these are Zhu Wen's sphere of influence, as long as you are not a fool, you can understand.

Chengdezhen Jiedu Envoy Wang Rong is Zhu Wen's staunch ally, Xuanshe Observatory Envoy Yang Xingmi is Zhu Wen's senior brother, Zhaoyi Army Jiedu Envoy Meng Fangli also sent many cooperation plans early, hoping to get Zhu Wen's support Take care, at least let Zhu Wen not take the initiative to send troops to beat him.

At this time, Zhu Wen can be said to have achieved fame and power over the world.

It took Zhu Wen only ten years to grow from a penniless tramp to a warlord with more than [-] soldiers and a thousand generals, of which five years were spent in Huangchao's rebel army.

It has to be said that this is a legend in itself.

But Zhu Wen knew that there was still a long way to go, and more challenges were waiting for him. There were still many powerful feudal towns, such as Qian Liu from Hangzhou, Dong Chang from Yuezhou, Li Keyong from Taiyuan, Li Keyong from Youzhou, etc. Converse, the thief Sun Ru in Yangzhou, Yang Xingmi in Xuanzhou, Wang Jian in Shuzhong... none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.

Coupled with the Khitan that is about to move in the northern part of the country, and the Nanzhao who has repeatedly threatened the Li and Tang courts, it can be said that there are internal and external troubles. Under such circumstances, how can Zhu Wen be content with the status quo?He knew that if he didn't use Thunderbolt, this period of history at the end of the Tang Dynasty would inevitably repeat itself. How many innocent people died in the turmoil of the 80s and [-]s?How many souls return to dust?

More importantly, the Khitan in the north must not be allowed to go south, because he knows that it is an uncivilized country. If history is allowed to repeat itself, those robbers on horseback will steal the countless wealth of the Central Plains. The destruction of this country with thousands of years of civilization, and the occupation of the Yanyun Sixteen States for three to four hundred years, made the Han nation lose the most favorable strategic barrier for the next few hundred years.

This is why the later Song Dynasty was unable to resist Liao and Jin cavalry.

If you want to settle once and for all, you must resolve the ownership of the Yanyun area. The most direct way is to take Youzhou, or even go all the way north, and wipe out Khitan. But this goal seems so far away, because many factors make Zhu Wen had to think about it. Without a solid rear, it would be impossible to talk about marching northward.

What is before Zhu Wen is a very difficult task, because a person's life is only a short few decades, and at this time the world is just in chaos, and the heroes are rising together. Most people want to live in this chaotic world. Lay a foundation.How many people will think about what to do next?How long will this situation last?

For the future of the great Han nation, and for the thousands of years of civilization not to be trampled upon, Zhu Wen decided to use extraordinary means in an extraordinary period to try to calm down the chaotic political situation as soon as possible, so as to send troops to Khitan as soon as possible, because he really wanted to see that In history, Yelu Abaoji, who was sworn brother with Li Keyong, who unified all the Khitan tribes and single-handedly laid down the foundation of Daliao, what kind of person is he, and what kind of personality charm does he have?

Zhu Wen's mood could not be calm for a long time. At this moment, even he himself wondered if he was a little crazy. In the 21st century, he was an unknown soldier in the cooking squad. In the army for eight years, the only thing he learned was how to cook. Come on. In ten years of this era, he was able to become the overlord of one side.Now that he has not even achieved the unification of the Central Plains, he is thinking about sending troops to Khitan and Nanzhao. Zhu Wen can't help but secretly blame himself for being overweight.

He sighed softly and shook his head. He should think about these unreachable things later. After all, the most important thing now is the present. The Khitan is far from being able to deter the Central Plains. In the midst of civil strife, there was Wang Jian in the middle of Shu, and he would not let a small Nanzhao threaten his interests.

At present, the most important thing is how to further control the wars and killings of the princes of the Central Plains, but Zhu Wen thought for a long time, and the only solution is to use force. It is impossible to solve it peacefully.The current group of heroes, compared with the chaos of the Three Kingdoms period, did not give in much. Compared with the feudal hegemony of the Spring and Autumn Period, it is even worse. In this case, only with strong strength can the real unification of the world be achieved.

But at that time, it will not be known whether the surname in this world is Li or Zhu. This is not within the scope of Zhu Wen's consideration.

Zhu Wen picked up a cup of tea on the table, took a sip, and tried to sort out the chaotic thoughts in his mind. This cup of tea was brewed for Zhu Wen by Wei Feng just now. I have to say that Wei Feng is a very caring woman.

Zhu Wen received intelligence from Wang Tan, saying that the Zhaoyi army was fighting with Hedong, and described the whole story.

The thing is like this, Zhaoyi Army Jiedu made Meng Fangli send [-] troops to attack Liaozhou, Li Kexiu, the brother of Li Keyong, sent troops to fight against Meng Fangli, and captured more than [-] generals under Meng Fangli's command alive.

Who is Li Keyong?How could he allow Meng Fangli to ride on his head and shit?In recent years, Li Keyong has not been idle in Hedong. He defeated Helianduo in Yunzhou, occupied Yunzhou, and sent troops to occupy Kelan Army. Today Li Keyong also owns four towns, Hedong, Kelan The strength of Lan Jun, Yunzhou, and Yanmen (Daizhou) should not be underestimated.

Li Ke sent generals Li Cunxiao and Li Hanzhi to fight back, conquering Cizhou and Mingzhou along the way. Meng Fangli sent generals Ma Gai and Yuan Fengtao to fight against Liulipo with tens of thousands of troops, but who was Li Cunxiao?That's Li Keyong's number one hero, the legendary Thirteen Taibao, how can ordinary people resist it?Besides, Li Hanzhi was also famous for his bravery, and he was famous for his bravery. The two teamed up and wiped out Meng Fangli's two troops in one battle.Both Ma Gai and Yuan Fengtao were captured alive.

Shocked, Meng Fangli discussed with the generals how to deal with it, but Meng Fangli was usually unpopular, no one would really work for Meng Fangli, and some people took the opportunity to plot to abolish Meng Fangli's position as Jiedu envoy. A few days later, it was reported that Meng Fangli committed suicide by taking poison news.

But as long as you are not a fool, you will know that the theory of suicide cannot be justified at all, and it is obvious that he died of murder.

Meng Fangli's younger brother Meng Qian took over the position of Jiedushi of the Zhaoyi Army. At this time, Li Cunxiao and Li Hanzhi's army was already on their way to Xingzhou.

Meng Qian hurriedly sent someone to ask Zhu Wen for help.

Zhu Wen and Li Keyong have enmity, this is a well-known thing in the world, as long as it is the person Zhu Wen attacks, Li Keyong will definitely respond to every request, send troops and money to vigorously support and deal with Zhu Wen, as long as there is a feudal town that fights with Li Keyong , Zhu Wen will also support, this is the reason why the enemy of the enemy is your friend.

Zhu Wen ordered the soldiers outside the door: "General Zhang Qianyu, please come here."

At this time, Zhang Qianyu was in Bianliang, and Zhang Qianyu was not used in these few dispatches of troops. He was thinking about how to find a place to fight, but Zhu Wen didn't use him, and he had nothing to do. Now he is simply idle My egg hurts.Suddenly hearing that the prince asked him to go to the palace to discuss matters, he hurriedly put down the work at hand and ran all the way to the palace.

When Zhang Qianyu came to Zhu Wen's study, Zhu Wen was a little surprised. He didn't know why Zhang Qianyu came so quickly, but Zhu Wen didn't say anything. Zhu Wen said: "General Zhang, I want you to lead the troops." Go to the rescue of Xingzhou, would you like to?" Then he gave a brief account of Li Cunxiao and Li Hanzhi's attack on Xingzhou by Li Ke's generals.

Zhang Qianyu was happy in his heart, and said in his heart: "I really want to come here, this time there is a battle." He immediately agreed: "The general is willing to go."

Zhu Wen nodded, but he still said: "You can only bring 300 people to this operation, and there is a secret mission. The thing is like this..." Zhu Wen told Zhang Zhang exactly what he planned. Qianyu said.

After Zhang Qianyu heard this, his expression was a little dignified, but he still nodded silently, and said: "The general will do his best. If he can't complete the task, he would rather come and see him."

Zhu Wen sighed, patted Zhang Qianyu on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "If the mission fails, I'm afraid it's not as simple as coming to see you. As long as you fail the mission, your chance of surviving is almost zero. Neither Li Cunxiao nor Meng Qian will let you go, do you know this?"

Zhang Qianyu nodded and said: "The general will understand." His words were clean and neat, without the slightest sloppiness.

Zhu Wen said: "In addition, I will arrange for Huo Cun to lead 5000 elite troops to serve as your backup. He will wait for your news outside Xingzhou City. As long as your signal is sent out, he will march into the city. The main force this time The army is Huo Cun, but the most dangerous one is your team, you must think about it, this is a close call, and there is still time to quit now."

Zhang Qianyu smiled and said: "Wars on the battlefield are a business of narrow escapes. Why are you afraid of this? If you are afraid of death, why should you be a soldier? Go home and farm."
