subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Early the next morning, Zhu Wen heard that Zhu Zhen had taken Hu Zhen, a lieutenant general sent by the enemy army to rescue soldiers at night, Zhu Wen hurriedly asked Zhu Zhen to bring him up.

Seeing Zhu Zhen personally escorting a handsome young general in, Zhu Wen hurriedly stepped forward to untie the rope for him, saying: "General Hu has been wronged, Zhu Wen has heard his name for a long time, and it is like thunder."

Hu Zhenxin said: "I'm just a small general, where did I get my name? That's right, it must be Zhu Zhen, the young thief general who captured me last night, seeing that I am not weak in martial arts, and told Zhu Wen that he wanted to recruit me. Me." Immediately, he hummed, stretched his bound arms, and did not answer.

He didn't know that Zhu Wen had seen his name Hu Zhen in the history books. Hu Zhen was brave and good at fighting, and he was loyal to Zhu Wen all his life.Of course Zhu Wen would not let go of such a good man.

Seeing that Hu Zhen didn't answer, Zhu Wen saw that there was blood on his shoulder, but it had already been bandaged.Turning around, he winked at Zhu Zhen, pretended to be angry and said, "Did you hurt General Hu?"

Seeing Zhu Wen's eyes, Zhu Zhen knew that Zhu Wen was pretending to blame herself, so she hurriedly knelt down and said, "I didn't know it was General Hu at the time, and I didn't intend to hurt General Hu."

Zhu Wen said: "I have already told you that General Hu is a general of the time, and he is the champion of the three armies. You actually injured General Hu by relying on the number of people. Come, push Zhu Zhen to me to beat the sixty army sticks."

Zhu Zhenming knew that Zhu Wen told Hu Zhen on purpose, but she was also afraid that Hu Zhen would not be fooled. If she really got hit with the sixty army stick, she would be beaten to death or disabled.

He hurriedly knelt down and begged, "Third brother, it was my fault. I really didn't mean it. If I hadn't cut his left shoulder with a knife, he would have stabbed me in the head. How can I say that I am also your cousin, you Is it just so indifferent?"

He burst into tears as he spoke, half-truthful and half-truthful, and burst into tears.

Zhu Zhen is only 19 years old, not very old, this crying is really a bit of a shameless taste.

Zhu Wen said angrily: "How can you talk about personal affairs in the army? Come on, drag me out and beat me!"

The left and right people went in without knowing it, and Zhu Cun hurried over to persuade him. Even if Zhu Cun used his elder brother's identity to pressure Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen still didn't change his words.

Seeing that Zhu Zhen had been pulled to the door of the big tent, Hu Zhen knelt down with a "plop" and said, "General Zhu, I don't blame Brother Zhu Zhen for this matter. If General Zhu insists on blaming Brother Zhu Zhen, I, Hu Zhen, am willing to take him with me." be punished."

Zhu Wen hurriedly stepped forward to help Hu Zhen up, saying: "General Hu, don't do this."

Pushing Hu Zhen to sit on the seat, he turned his head and stared at Zhu Zhen and said, "For the sake of General Hu's pleading for your boy, let me forgive you for now, and you must never disobey my orders in the future." Jane blinked twice.

Zhu Zhen thanked her a lot, but she laughed secretly in her heart, the third brother was really clever, a little bit of trickery, unexpectedly made this Hu Zhen docile.

Zhu Wendao: "Our rebel army was originally for the poor people in the world. The Tang court was mediocre and incompetent. The towns did not belong to each other and carried out their own policies. The taxes were heavy and the people were full of resentment. Therefore, our army has grown stronger since General Huang raised his troops. Competing to vote. General Hu is a true hero, how can he act as a minion for Bao Tang and a tiger?"

What Zhu Wen said was true, and Hu Zhen had nothing to say for a while, but the idea Hu Zhen had accepted since he was a child was to "learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family." It's the truth, but I still have some hesitation in my heart.

Zhu Wen said again: "If General Hu is unwilling to submit to our rebel army, we will not force him to stay, and the general can leave on his own. If we meet in the battlefield someday, Zhu wants to personally experience General Hu's marksmanship."

Hu Zhen's face was ashamed, and he knelt on one knee and said: "Hu Zhen is the general of the defeated army. He is so highly valued by General Zhu. I don't want to thank you for your kindness. Hu Zhen is willing to be a pawn of the general in his lifetime, and he will go through fire and water."

Zhu Wen quickly helped Hu Zhen up, and said: "Good man, from now on, we will be like brothers, together we will overthrow the Tyrant Tang Dynasty and save the people of Li from fire and water."

Hu Zhen said: "Although the Changyuan City is small, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Does General Zhu have a strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Zhu Wen said: "If you want to defeat the enemy, you must trouble Brother Hu to go out."

Hu Zhen said: "I would like to hear the details!"

Zhu Wen revealed his plan...

Five days later, hundreds of people rushed into Zhu Wen's formation under the banner of the officers and soldiers. Zhu Wen's troops collapsed at the first touch and fled in all directions.

The general guarding the gate saw that the army had dispersed Zhu Wen's camp, and hurriedly reported to the county magistrate.

Overjoyed, the county magistrate went to the city to see it in person, just in time to see that group of officers and soldiers coming to the city.Seeing that the leader of the team was Hu Zhen who had gone to Bianzhou to move troops a few days ago, the county magistrate was so overjoyed that he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly ordered the army to open the city gate to welcome him.

Hu Zhen led hundreds of horses into the city, and the county magistrate went out of the city to greet him in person, and was very polite to Hu Zhen.

When Hu Zhen saw that most of the people and horses had entered the city, he suddenly shouted, swung his sword and chopped off the county magistrate's head.Hundreds of people attacked together, and immediately took control of the west city gate, captured the guard of the west gate, and the rest of them abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

After a while, the rebels who fled from Zhu Wen's camp entered Changyuan City one after another. Seeing that the situation was over, the defenders in the city had to surrender to Zhu Wen.Hundreds of people who refused to surrender were killed by Zhu Zhen and Hu Zhen.

Changyuan was taken almost effortlessly.

After Zhu Wen entered the city, he ordered the rebels not to disturb the people, and opened warehouses to help the poor people.He beheaded several rich and unkind gentry, and rewarded some of their money to the brothers in the army, and even the newly surrendered officers and soldiers were given some.

The soldiers and civilians in the city cheered thunderously, and many poor and strong men volunteered to join the army. Of course, the rebels welcome them.

Zhu Wen personally cooked a table of delicious dishes for Hu Zhen to celebrate his achievements. Of course Zhu Cun, Zhu Zhen and others were also sitting there.

After drinking for three rounds, Hu Zhen said: "Our army has just entered the city, and the surrendered troops of the officers and soldiers are comparable to the original strength of our army. I will go to inspect it in case of accidents. Brother Zhu Zhen will go with me. The two of you should have someone to take care of you."

Zhu Zhen got up and said, "That's fine." He knew that Hu Zhen was afraid that Zhu Wen wouldn't trust him to go out alone, and if Hu Zhen led the troops to turn against each other, Zhu Wen and others would become shackles instead.

Who knows Zhu Wen said: "General Hu, you can go alone, since I use you as a general, I have no doubts. If you can't use people without suspicion, how can anyone really use you for you?"

Hu Zhen fell down on the ground moved, and said: "As soon as Hu Zhen surrendered, he won the trust of General Zhu, and he will swear allegiance to the general in the future, and he dare not have the slightest doubt."

At this time, Hu Zhen was really willing to surrender to Zhu Wen.Hu Zhen has a loyal and upright temperament. Once he declares his allegiance, he will not change until death.

Zhu Wen helped Hu Zhen up, and said: "There are not so many rules in our rebel army. From now on, you should not kneel down and salute at every turn. In our army, no matter whether you are a general or a small soldier, you are like your own brother. From now on, you will also follow Zhu Wen. Just call me Third Brother like Jane."

Hu Zhen panicked: "Hu Zhen dare not."

Zhu Wen said with a smile: "They are all my brothers, what dare you?"

Hu Zhen was originally a bold person, because of the new rebel army, he was not easy to overstep, so he pretended to be a gesture, seeing Zhu Wencheng sincerely called him a brother, and said: "In that case, Hu Zhen would like to thank the third brother."
