subvert the late Tang Dynasty

The news that Li Hanzhi had aroused public outrage and escaped from Suanzao County soon reached Zhu Wen's ears. Zhu Wen sighed and said, "As expected, Li Han's nature is hard to change. This man is brave and courageous. But he has no strategy, is cruel by nature, and is not the talent of a general."

Huang Ying said: "People who come from reckless backgrounds are inevitably a little irritable. This person has indeed made great achievements. Although he lost the battle, my father may not punish him severely."

Zhu Wen smiled wryly and shook his head, "Now it's not just a matter of him losing a Suanzao County, but his actions have already had a very bad impact on the rebels. I agree. Let me ask you, how can anyone with a little conscience join a so-called 'rebel army' that commits all kinds of crimes, robbery, robbery?"

Huang Ying, Zhu Cun, Zhu Zhen, Hu Zhen and others nodded in agreement.

Huang Ying said: "At this time, Bianzhou and Luoyang in the west are heavily armed, and Caozhou in the east is also heavily armed. Now that they have lost the support of the people, what should we do?"

All eyes were on Zhu Wen, and in their minds Zhu Wen was the general who could grasp the situation best.

Zhu Wen pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Go south to Bozhou and wait for the opportunity."

Huang Ying asked suspiciously: "We just went north from Songzhou, and now we are back in Bozhou next to Songzhou, what will the soldiers think?"

Zhu Wen said meaningfully: "The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and there is no room for the slightest mistake. Now that Shandong and Henan are heavily populated, we cannot compete with the imperial court with our current strength. And the imperial court is heavily prepared for war. It will definitely be insufficient for a long time. Seeing It’s about to enter winter, and once the imperial court’s food, grass, and clothing cannot be supplied, the imperial court’s heavy troops will collapse without a fight.”

Hu Zhen clapped his hands and praised: "Yes, the imperial court has been fighting for years this year. The treasury is empty and the taxes are heavy. Once the imperial court lacks supplies, it will definitely increase taxes. In this way, not only the officers and soldiers will lose their combat power, but the people will also be overwhelmed. If we took the risk, we would appease the people a little and the people would definitely come to vote."

Zhu Wen couldn't help admiring Hu Zhen's sound analysis, and said in his heart: He is worthy of being a general, and he knows the elegance after hearing the string songs. It seems that he should be a character who can stand alone in the future.

Zhu Wen praised: "Brother Hu is right. A real war is not about blindly rushing to kill, but about accurately grasping the timing. Only by dispatching at the most favorable time can you get the greatest reward. If the timing is not ripe, it will cost you all your time." The strength of the ox and the tiger won the battle, but the gain outweighs the loss."

Although Zhu Zhen is young, she is also an extremely intelligent person. Knowing that she is young and shallow, she simply talks less and studies more.He kept everything everyone said firmly in his heart, thought over and over, and asked questions from time to time until he understood.

Zhu Wen was also very happy to see that Zhu Zhen had changed from her usual playful attitude. These two people will be characters who can stand alone in the future, and they must be cultivated well.

Zhu Wen wrote a secret letter, detailing the reasons for going south to Bozhou, and sent someone to deliver it to Huang Chao overnight.

Huang Chao circulated Zhu Wen's letter to Meng Kai, Lin Yan and other generals, and said, "What do you think?"

Zhang Yandao: "What General Zhu said is reasonable and reasonable. I agree with General Zhu's opinion. I will avoid it for the time being and wait for the opportunity." Opinions, simply the first to express their approval.

Meng Kai, however, was the rough one, and scolded: "Scholar's opinion, the most taboo thing in marching and fighting is to shake the morale of the army. Our army just went north from Songzhou, and now it is going south to Bozhou. What do the brothers in the army think? Do you think we are idle?" They are full of food and are deliberately punishing them? Once the morale of the army is shaken, the consequences will be disastrous."

Meng Kai's words were obviously unreasonable, Zhang Yan wanted to refute, but he also took Meng Kai's identity into consideration.Xin Daoist Meng Kai is an old subordinate of General Huang, with decades of friendship, I, a rookie who has just joined the army for more than a year, should not be too fussy.

Seeing that Zhang Yan hesitated to speak, Huang Chao knew that he had some scruples, so he couldn't help looking at Meng Kai, who was full of righteous indignation, and frowned inadvertently.Xindao: It seems that Lao Meng's temper should be changed.

Huang Chao laughed, and said, "Brother Meng Xian is worrying too much. War can't take into account temporary gains and losses. We must focus on the overall situation. The current situation is indeed not good for us. Why can't we take a step back? We have finally developed to where we are today. scale, I don’t want any mistakes.”

Then Huang Chao turned around and said in a deep voice: "Pass my general's order, the army will gradually march south in two days, avoid the real and attack the weak, and fight in a roundabout way."

In fact, they still don't know that there is another more important reason why Zhu Wen insisted on going south to Bozhou, that is, he knows that Wang Xianzhi's time is numbered.Once Wang Xianzhi and Lord Shang die, Shang Rang will definitely take Wang Xianzhi's remnant troops to join Huang Chao, and pull Huang Chao's army to Bozhou, so that Shang Rang can support him.

In the middle of the night, in Zhu Wen's room, there was a lamp like a bean, facing Zhu Wen's handsome face, he was meditating.

He thought, if Huang Chao's army refused to go south, would the remaining troops led by Shang Rang be wiped out by Zeng Yuanyu?Or seek refuge with Tang Ting when he is desperate?

But history is history after all, and there are no assumptions in history.

Zhu Wen shook his head, waking up from his chaotic thoughts, he didn't think so much anymore, I can only do my best to save the common people in the world from suffering.

Then he sat cross-legged on the bed, and practiced according to the "Hunyuan Wuji Heart Method".He knew that in this war-torn era, if he was not strong enough, he might face death at any time.

In this era of cold weapons, of course the way to improve one's personal strength is to practice shocking martial arts.What's more, he liked to read chivalrous novels since he was a child, and he had a martial arts dream since he was a child. He hoped that one day he could become a hero who would fight the strong and help the weak.

But he knew that that kind of hero can only appear in novels, and in reality, no matter how high a person's martial arts skills are, a hero can't outweigh the number of people.

Although Zhu Wen did become emperor in history, he, Zhu Wen, never dared to relax for a moment. It's not that he doesn't believe in fate, but he believes that only by his own hard work can he better control his destiny.Because he knows that opportunities are often only reserved for those who are prepared.

This is real life, not a virtual game. In the game, death can be resurrected, but in life, there is only one life. Once an accident occurs, there will only be regrets.Of course, he, a person from the 21st century, is very clear about this.
