subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Of course, Huang Chao also heard the news of Wang Xianzhi's bloodbath in Jiangling and his defeat outside Shenzhou City, so he urgently recruited generals to discuss the military situation.

Huang Chao said: "General Wang was defeated in Shenzhou and moved south to Hubei. The trust and enlistment made Zeng Yuanyu chase after him. The situation is very unfavorable. Although Wang Xianzhi lacks intelligence, but after all, he is a brother who has cooperated for many years. Now brothers are in trouble. How can we sit down and spend a lot of time in Bozhou?"

Monk Meng Kai and his brothers were also life and death friends, and they wanted to save Shang Rang. Hearing that Huang Chao wanted to send troops to Hubei, he hurriedly agreed: "Brother is right, people in the Jianghu put righteousness first, how can we see brothers?" Regardless of difficulties?"

The other leaders all followed Meng Kai and Huang Chao's lead, and nodded in agreement.Only Zhu Wenwen and Zhang Yan didn't say a word.

Regarding the generals under his command, Huang Chao still paid more attention to Zhu Wen's opinion. Huang Chao looked at Zhu Wen and said, "I don't know what the third brother thinks, why don't you say anything?"

Zhu Wen looked at Huang Chao, and then looked at Zhang Yan next to him. He knew that Zhang Yan would not approve of sending troops if he didn't say a word. At the same time, he also wanted to hear Zhang Yan's opinion. Not impressed.After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think that Zhang Yan was sacred in history, but it can be seen from his words and deeds that this person is definitely a character.

Zhu Wen smiled and said, "I would like to hear Brother Zhang Yan's opinion first."

Zhang Yan said with a wry smile: "Brother Zhu is ten times more resourceful than me, so why bother asking me to make a fool of myself?"

Zhu Wen said: "Brother Zhang is too modest. Brother Zhang is both civil and military. He must have a unique view on the battle situation."

Huang Chao also said: "Since the third brother asked Brother Zhang to speak, Brother Zhang will tell everyone your opinion."

Zhang Yan bowed and said yes, and said: "Zeng Yuanyu is good at using soldiers, Zhang Zimian is brave and good at fighting, and Yang Fuguang is mature and prudent. These three people are the leaders of the imperial court's recruiting yamen, and they will definitely not be as easy to deal with as Song Wei. What's more, Jingnan There was also a long-victorious veteran Gao Pian squatting. Besides, Wang Xianzhi bloodbathed Jiangling, although it was because he was angry with the court that he killed Shangjun, but he did too much. It was a big loss to the people.

"We have been righteous for many years, and we should also know the importance of the hearts of the people. Wang Xianzhi slaughtered hundreds of thousands of unarmed people in Jiangling. Such cruelty can only be his own destruction. Without the support of the people, the rebel army will be completely exposed to the court. Under the sight of the army.

"We don't have the upper hand in terms of military strength. We can't compare with the imperial court in terms of military strength. We are not at the same level in terms of financial resources. Now that we have lost the hearts of the people, how can we fight against the imperial court?" Zhang Yan said eloquently. It is beneficial and well-founded.

Huang Chao also nodded involuntarily, motioning for Zhang Yan to continue.

Zhang Yan went on to say: "If we save Wang Xianzhi, we will be placed in the same position as Wang Xianzhi, and defeat is only a matter of time. But if we don't send troops, Wang Xianzhi will definitely rely on us after defeat, so that we can Adding a lot of troops, because of this, Wang Xianzhi will forever lose the qualification to be equal to General Huang."

Zhu Wen admired him and felt that Zhang Yan was indeed a talent.Because of my past life memory and understanding of history, I can know the future development of things, but this Zhang Yan can accurately predict the future progress of the battle situation through his grasp of the battle situation.Zhang Yan didn't expect Wang Xianzhi to die, but he can't be blamed for it. Normally, even if he loses a battle, the possibility of the coach's death is still very low.It can only be said that Wang Xianzhi's luck is not so bad.

Zhu Wen nodded and said: "Brother Zhang is right. The battlefield is not a one-person battlefield. You can no longer be as happy as you used to be in the rivers and lakes, and you can't miss the overall situation because of a certain person's impulsiveness. Don't look at us now. With [-] to [-] troops, after Li Hanzhi's disturbance in Suanzao County, our status in the hearts of the people has been greatly reduced. One can imagine how deep scars Wang Xianzhi's massacre will leave on the hearts of the people?

Zhu Wen paused, and then continued: "As Brother Zhang said, once Wang Xianzhi is defeated, it will be the day we dispatch. At that time, General Huang can establish himself as king, announce to the world, and report all the crimes committed by the Tang court, and the world will surely return But overthrowing Tang Ting will not happen overnight, after all, Li Tang's 300-year-old foundation is deeply rooted..."

Meng Kai sneered and said, "I also said it didn't happen overnight, hmph, in my opinion, we took advantage of the opportunity when the imperial army was fighting Wang Xianzhi in Hubei, and entered Guanzhong in one fell swoop. As long as Chang'an is captured, the feudal towns from all walks of life will come to surrender one after another. .”

Lin Yan also said: "General Meng is right. The imperial court's army is gathered in the Hubei area, and Guanzhong must be empty. Why don't we attack Chang'an with a thunderous force, so that the world can be settled."

Zhu Wen said: "Brother Lin's words are wrong. The Guanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With more than [-] of us attacking Chang'an, it is undoubtedly to hit a stone with an egg. There are many passes along the way. To go west to Guanzhong, we must first take down the eastern capital Luoyang. Tongguan is famous for its steepness, is Brother Lin confident that he can win Luoyang and Tongguan?"

Lin Yan snorted, noncommittal.

They didn't know that the current Wang Xianzhi was in a decisive battle with Zeng Yuanyu.

Without the support of the people, Wang Xianzhi's army had food and grass problems. Wang Xianzhi simply plundered the civilians, which aroused public grievances.Many soldiers and soldiers in the army were dissatisfied with Wang Xianzhi's actions. Some secretly deserted, and some even joined the army.

Thirty miles to the northeast of Huangmei City, Wang Xianzhi's mighty army passed under Caishan Mountain, which was extremely precipitous, like a dangerous building about to collapse.When Li Taibai climbed Caishan, he wrote a poem praising that "the dangerous building is [-] feet high, and the stars can be picked by hand, and dare not speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly beings." It can be seen that Caishan is steep.

Wang Xianzhi's army, demoralized after several defeats, was now preparing to cross the Yangtze River from Chibi.

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound, like thunder from the sky exploding in everyone's ears.

Wang Xianzhi raised his head in astonishment, just in time a stone the size of a millstone rolled down from the top of the mountain and came straight towards him.Wang Xianzhi leaped away from the horse, almost at the same time, Wang Xianzhi's mount was hit by a boulder, the boulder that rolled down quickly weighed more than a thousand catties under the action of inertia, and the horse was bloody and bloody.

Wang Xianzhi just sighed "It's so dangerous" in his heart, his shoulders felt cold, and he had already been hit by an arrow.

The huge boulders on the mountain kept rolling down, Wang Xianzhi tried to dodge with the arrow wound, the guards around were killed and injured, and the guards couldn't take care of themselves, who would care about Wang Xianzhi's life or death?

Wang Xianzhi swung his sword suddenly to block the cold arrow flying from the top of the mountain, but he didn't notice that a big rock from behind had already hit his back quickly, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from Wang Xianzhi's mouth.Just as he was about to complain, another cold arrow pierced through his right arm. Wang Xianzhi let go of his long sword, and a cry came from the mountain: "Capture the thief chief Wang Xianzhi alive..." Countless officers and soldiers charged down from the top of the mountain.

Wang Xianzhi let out a long sigh in his heart, knowing that the defeat was over.

How much sadness and tears are there in the sigh of the hero at the end of the road?
