subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Gao Pian's power should not be underestimated. This No. 1 general of the Tang Dynasty was really not built. In just a few days, he broke through four cities in a row, captured four generals of the rebel army, and more than a hundred low-level generals. The rebel army suffered more than [-] casualties.

The rebel army was in an uproar. Because they had been attacking Runzhou for a long time, the morale of the army was relatively impetuous. Hearing that Gao Pian was so powerful, people were even more panicked. Some people in twos and threes had become deserters.

Huang Chao, Meng Kai, Shang Rang and others had a great headache about this, but they were unable to solve it, and they didn't have the time to solve it. Gao Pian's army would arrive soon, so why would they have other thoughts?

Although Pian only has 4 or 20 horses, he is not Song Wei. Song Wei is the kind of master who fights thunder without raining.Gao Pian was notorious for his resolute actions. When he conquered Jiaozhi in the south, he defeated [-] elite soldiers in Jiaozhi.

This raid on the four cities is the best example. Where should the rebels go?

Huang Chao really wanted to have a decisive battle with Gao Pian, but looking at the low morale and impetuous military spirit, there were tens of thousands of horses in the air, but he was frightened by a Gao Pian who made a head start.What's on his mind?In such a state, the decisive battle with Gao Pian will definitely be defeated but never won.

The few remaining senior generals of the Rebel Army, Shang Rang, Meng Kai, Lin Yan, Zhu Wen, and others gathered again in Huang Chao's tent. This time, even Zhang Yan, who was busy revising the law, and Ge Congzhou, who had just joined the Rebel Army attended the meeting.Hu Zhen was originally qualified to participate, but because of his serious injury, he was still resting in the tent.

Huang Chao said: "Now everyone has seen the situation of the rebel army. There are tens of thousands of horses, but they don't have the strength to fight Gao Pian at all. What should we do? You can share your views."

Surprisingly, Monk Meng Kai kept the two of them from speaking. They had been fighting for many years, and they knew that fighting Gao Pian head-on at this time would not lead to any good results, and the odds of winning were extremely slim.But let them say something that avoids their sharpness, and they are a little bit speechless.So I just keep silent.

Lin Yan also remained silent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Huang Chao looked at Zhu Wen, hoping that Zhu Wen could express his opinion.

However, Zhu Wen set his sights on Zhang Yan and Ge Congzhou who were at the bottom.

Zhang Yan's eyes flickered, he wanted to say something, looked at Monk Meng Kai, and closed his mouth again.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ge Congzhou coughed and said: "There is a saying in the art of war: 'Avoid the real and attack the weak'. Now that Gao Pian is gaining momentum, our army should avoid its sharp edge and wait for the opportunity. It is impossible to win. Just use your wits."

Huang Chao smiled and said, "How to outsmart, you might as well talk about it."

Ge Congzhou said in a loud voice: "For generals, we should use righteousness and surprise to win. What we have to do now is to wait for the opportunity. Once there is a good opportunity, we can win with surprise soldiers. Soldiers are tricky and pay attention to it." It is adapting to the situation. If you have to set a fixed strategy in advance, then you must make sure that this strategy is foolproof. Once any link goes wrong, you may lose everything. Therefore, without any negligence in Gao Pian, our side We can’t decide what to do for now.”

Meng Kai snorted coldly and said, "Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?"

Ge Congzhou's face flushed slightly, and he wanted to refute but couldn't find the right words, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

In order to avoid Ge Congzhou's embarrassment, Zhu Wen said: "I think what Ge Congzhou said is reasonable. Before we know the details of Gao Pian, we should stop calmly and formulate countermeasures at any time according to changes in the battle situation."

Meng Kai snorted and said, "If you say no, it means you didn't say anything?"

Shang Rang and Lin Yan also had expressions of disdain.

"I don't have the same knowledge as you, hmph, if a dog bites me, can I bite back?" Zhu Wen secretly slandered.

Zhu Wen smiled slightly, and said loudly: "The situation in the battle is changing rapidly, and the disadvantage at this time may become the key to our victory. Several victories in succession at the same high level may make his soldiers arrogant and arrogant, thus causing great harm to our army. An opportunity to take advantage of."

Meng Kai said impatiently: "Don't tell me these big truths, I don't understand, so just tell me what to do in the future."

Zhu Wen said: "Runzhou can't stay here anyway. Gao Pian's Jiedushi is stationed in Runzhou. If he sends troops to Runzhou to attack the defenders in the city, our army will undoubtedly be defeated, not to mention the morale of the soldiers in the army. Depressed, people panic, there is no chance of winning at all."

Zhu Wen glanced at everyone, and said: "Now that Cao Shixiong is fighting Dong Chang in Hangzhou, why don't we come to Hangzhou and help Cao Shixiong take Hangzhou. First, we can rectify the army in Hangzhou, let the soldiers cultivate for a period of time, and wait for the opportunity Xu Tu Development. Second, you can also take the opportunity to win over Cao Shixiong, killing two birds with one stone."

Meng Kai said: "Hangzhou is so close to Runzhou, even if we occupy Hangzhou, wouldn't Gao Pian be able to reach Hangzhou?"

Zhu Wen said with a smile: "Gao Pian marched continuously and fought several tough battles one after another. Brother Hu Zhen even fought against them in Xinzhou for five days. Gao Pian's army is also human and needs to recuperate. Such continuous rapid marches to fight tough battles, Even if Gao Pian agrees, his soldiers will not agree."

Just as Meng Kai was about to speak, Huang Chao waved his hand to stop Meng Kai from continuing.Huang Chao said: "What the third brother said is right. Now our first task is to rectify the existing troops. Go to Hangzhou to fight a few small victories to boost morale. If it doesn't work, go to Fuzhou, or go south to Lingnan."

Zhu Wen's heart skipped a beat. Huang Chao still had to go to Fujian and Guangzhou. Although such a move could boost the strength of the rebel army, according to historical records, Zhu Cun was killed when he attacked Guangzhou.Although Zhu Wen is not sure whether history can be changed, he still wants to try his best to avoid going south to Guangzhou.

Although Zhu Cun and Zhu Wen, who came through time travel, should not have any blood relationship, during this year's time together, Zhu Wen developed a deep brotherly affection for this straightforward and honest second brother, as if this second brother really The real ones are his own brothers, including Zhu Zhen who has become his best brother.

But both of them died in the end, and Zhu Wen really didn't want to see that day.

Zhu Wen instinctively said: "No way!"

Zhu Wen reacted violently, which was very inconsistent with his usual gentle personality.Everyone looked at him very curiously. They really didn't expect Zhu Wen to talk to Huang Chao in such a tone.Shang Rang and Lin Yan even looked at Zhu Wen with a sneer on their faces. They really wanted to see why Zhu Wen lost his composure.

Huang Chao also looked at Zhu Wen with a puzzled expression. He also didn't understand why Zhu Wen's reaction was so intense.

Zhu Wen also realized his gaffe. He looked at everyone's meaningful eyes, coughed dryly, and said, "The road to Fuzhou is bumpy, mostly rugged mountain roads, and it's not easy to march; the climate in Lingnan is humid and hot. There are many miasma and poisonous insects. Most of the rebels are men from the north, and I am afraid they may not be able to adapt to the southern climate. Once the plague occurs in the army, the consequences may be disastrous."

Zhang Yan echoed, "General Zhu's words are reasonable, I hope King Huang will see clearly."

Huang Chao smiled slightly, and said: "That's what I said, I may not really go to Lingnan. Even if I go, I will be fully prepared."

Huang Chao's face darkened suddenly, and he said earnestly, "Don't be impatient, third brother. Your second senior brother Yang Xingmi has disappeared because of his impatience. I don't want you to make any mistakes. Don't think about yourself, but also think about Yinger. ...By the way, Yinger asked you to go find her later, she said that you have something to tell you."

"Okay, that's all for today, go back and get ready, and leave for Hangzhou tomorrow." Huang Chao finally said.
