subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Many guests came to Huangchao's camp that day, including Zhu Wen's second brother Yang Xingmi.

Only then did Zhu Wen realize that Huang Chao had sent so many confidants to the south of the Yangtze River. In addition to Yang Xingmi, there were also Huang Chao's two younger brothers, Huang Kui and Huang Siye, and Huang Chao's son Huang Ding was among them.In addition, Bi Shiduo, who had a relationship with Zhu Wen outside Songcheng a year ago, also arrived in Jiangnan at some point, no wonder he has not seen him.

They brought bad news that Wang Chongyin had died in battle!Xu Tangju, Wang Chongyin's general, led the rest of his troops to guard Hongzhou. Cao Shixiong, a general in Liu Yanzhang's old department, refused to accept Xu Tangju's control, and led thousands of his men to operate in Xuanzhou, Runzhou (Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), and Huzhou.

Yang Xingmi said: "Now that Cao Shixiong wants to attack Hangzhou, he is really beyond his control."

Huang Chao wondered: "Although Hangzhou is a prosperous and prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not guarded by heavy troops. Cao Shixiong has thousands of troops. If he uses his troops properly, he should have a chance to take Hangzhou."

Yang Xingmi said: "Master doesn't know something. When Wang Ying raised his troops to attack Hangzhou, a gentry named Dong Chang organized militia groups and officers to fight against Wang Ying. Dong Chang's skills in martial arts are superb, and he is rich in strategy. Now it has recruited heroes from all sides to form eight thousand-man teams, each led by eight generals, called "Hangzhou Eight Capitals". Dong Chang is the leader himself, and his strength should not be underestimated!"

Huang Chao suddenly said: "In this way, Cao Shixiong has lost but never won." After a pause, he asked: "Xing Mi, is there any movement at Gao Pian's place?"

Yang Xingmi said: "Gao Pian was a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. He had countless strong generals, and the general Zhang Lin was even more powerful. Now Gao Pian is rushing from Jingnan to Runzhou. Gao Pian is now the governor of the Zhenhai Navy and concurrently serves as the governor of the south of the Yangtze River. Salt and iron transfer envoy. Zhen Haijun's government is in Runzhou, we are rushing to attack Runzhou now, and Gao Pian must be very impatient, afraid that we will attack Runzhou before he arrives in Runzhou."

Yang Xingmi turned around suddenly, with excitement in his eyes, he glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "Gao Pian must be on his way to Runzhou at a high speed, we can ambush all the soldiers and horses on the way, as long as we can hide without anyone noticing Get rid of Gao Pian, and Jiangnan is in our army."

Huang Chao's eyes lit up, then dimmed in an instant. Huang Chao said: "Assassinate Gao Pian? It's really not easy. Gao Pian is a man with strong martial arts and deep internal strength. Even as a teacher, he may not be his opponent. What's more, he has a general under his command Zhang Lin, I heard that when Gao Pian was in Xichuan, he recruited a lot of experts from the Western Regions, and he even had a large army accompanying him, so the chance of a successful assassination is very slim."

Yang Xingmi said: "Even if the chance is small, you might as well give it a try. If Gao Pian can enter Runzhou smoothly, the rebel army may have to fight a lot of tough battles in the south of the Yangtze River."

Huang Kui also echoed: "Nephew Yang Xian is right, you can give it a try. Nephew Yang Xian once mentioned this to me, and we already thought of a plan yesterday."

Huang Chao's spirit was shaken, and he said, "I would like to hear the details."

Huang Kui said, "Let Nephew Yang Xian talk about it!"

Yang Xingmi took out a military map from his pocket, spread the map on the desk, and said: "Gao Pian came to Runzhou by water or land, because the water goes down the river, so the possibility of taking the water Bigger."

Yang Xingmi pointed to the Yangtze River waterway on the military map, and said: "Gao Pian should have reached Ezhou now, we can shoot more good players to ambush at the mouth of the Yangtze River to the north of Fanchang. There, the Yangtze River waterway turns to the south, and then turns to the northeast after a turn. It is an excellent ambush location. When the time comes, find more brothers with good water skills, and be sure to kill Gao Pian."

Huang Chao said calmly: "I hope that the secret service will not disappoint me. However, you must be careful in the process of action, and don't take risks easily. If you lose a proud student because you want to kill Gao Pian, your teacher will not let you down." I would rather be able to fight Gao Pian head-on to the death."

Yang Xingmi's heart warmed up, knowing that Master cared about his safety, he said gratefully, "My disciple will keep it in mind."

Huang Chao said: "Gao Pian's martial arts are outstanding, you are not his opponent yet, let your two uncles go with you, the hope of success is greater."

Yang Xingmi nodded and said, "Thank you Master for your concern, but I still need someone from Master."

Huang Chao asked doubtfully, "Who?"

Yang Xingmi looked at Zhu Wen, and said loudly, "Third Junior Brother Zhu Wen."

Before Huang Chao could answer, Huang Ying took a step forward and said, "No, this operation is too dangerous. The third brother's skills are too weak to take on this task!"

Yang Xingmi glanced at Zhu Wen with a smile and said: "Little sister is very concerned about the safety of the third brother, but she doesn't care about the safety of the second brother who grew up with her since childhood."

Huang Ying blushed and looked a little shy, but because she was worried about Zhu Wen's safety, she interjected: "Who doesn't know that second senior brother has profound skills, and you rarely meet opponents in the Jianghu. Why should I worry?"

Zhu Wen was also a little embarrassed. He didn't agree with the assassination of Gao Pian. After all, Gao Pian's death would be several years later in history. If Gao Pian died on the Yangtze River now, what would happen to the future history?After all, Gao Pian had a huge influence on the history of the late Tang Dynasty.

But Zhu Wen was not sure that the future development of the situation would completely follow the historical track, so he did not speak.He also had a thought in his mind.If Gao Pian really died in the Yangtze River, history will be completely rewritten, and no one south of the Yangtze River will be Huang Chao's opponent.Huang Chao can fully realize the strategic plan of taking advantage of the danger of the Yangtze River and the Tang Dynasty to rule the river. It is not impossible to rule the world in time.

But what he didn't expect was that Yang Xingmi actually asked him to participate in the assassination plan, which was beyond his expectation, and Huang Ying's words to stop him made him feel a little embarrassed.Under the influence of the man's self-esteem, Zhu Wen had no choice but to stand up and make a statement.

Zhu Wenlang said: "Although my younger brother has no virtue or ability, he still has the ability to be a pawn. If it is dangerous, which brother is not dangerous? Since I am a member of the rebel army, I have the obligation to join the rebel army. All kinds of actions, if you don’t go because you are afraid of danger, what will the other brothers think?”

Zhu Wen's words made sense, and everyone nodded.

Huang Ying seemed a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but secretly scolded Zhu Wen for not knowing what was good and what was wrong.What a fool, do you know who Gao Pian is?That was the No. 1 general of the Tang Dynasty. He had been a mythical figure in the Tang army for decades. How easy is it to kill him?No matter what you say, the second senior brother is also a person who has been famous for many years. He can be said to be a top person among the younger generation, but what are you, Zhu Wen?I have only been practicing martial arts for half a year and I want to assassinate Gao Pian. I really don't know how to write the word "death"?

But she thought about it in her heart, but she didn't say it out. Although the matter between her and Zhu Wen was no secret among the rebels, Zhu Wen was a man after all. She knew that in front of everyone, as a woman, she had to respect men. Otherwise, Zhu Wen would be even more embarrassed.

But Huang Ying was still a little worried, and said, "Okay, then I'll go too."

Huang Chao shouted: "Nonsense, what's the use of you being a girl? I also want to distract your two uncles and two senior brothers from taking care of you."

Seeing Huang Chao's words, Huang Ying pouted and sulked.

Yang Xingmi laughed and said, "Don't worry, little junior sister. I didn't ask Third Junior Brother to fight Gao Pian, but I wanted him to be the commander-in-chief of this operation. I will be the assassin's job." Just do it, third junior brother will give me orders."

Huang Ying's eyes lit up, and she glared at Yang Xingmi, as if to say, "Why didn't you say it sooner? It made me worry for nothing!"

Zhu Wen didn't refuse either. He knew that since Yang Xingmi let him take command, he must have his reasons. Of course, Yang Xingmi would not be a fool.Without a certain degree of certainty, he will not make a move easily.

Because of Yang Xingmi's prudence and prudence, Huang Chao let him take charge of Jiangnan affairs. Even Huang Chao's two younger brothers and Huang Chao's only son had to obey Yang Xingmi's orders, which shows that Huang Chao attaches great importance to Yang Xingmi.

Due to the urgency of the matter, we will leave that evening.

This is an action that can determine the entire battle situation. The success of the action directly affects the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty and the development of the rebel army in the south of the Yangtze River.
