Huang Chao learned that Tang Zhangwei led his troops to Huainan, and he was very uneasy, and he ordered Zhou Qi to intercept it, but Zhou Qi, the loyal military section of Daqi, led troops to resist for Yang Fuguang, and could not go south.

Yang Fuguang, the world's soldier and horse supervisor of the Tang Dynasty, saw Tang Zhangwei leading the troops into Huainan, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qin Zongquan: "This Tang Zhangwei is still a benevolent and righteous person, leading the troops to fight against Gao Yu who sits and watches the success or failure. ”

Gao Biao is a famous general, who has repeatedly broken the Southern Zhao and Tubo, and in the early stage of suppressing the Huangchao Uprising, he also made the Huangchao deflated repeatedly. However, this person was too selfish, and in order to obtain the greatest benefit, he actually dismissed the army of all the ways that surrounded and suppressed Huangchao, so that the rebels of Huangchao revived.

In addition, he likes to talk about the past and the present, and he belongs to the kind of layman in the civil war and an expert in the foreign war.

Knowing that Tang Zhangwei, a brave general who pacified the three towns of Shuofang, led 20,000 cavalry to come, he laughed and said: "My Huainan River network is dense, and the junior has no water division to come rashly, I am really looking for death." ”

Because of the lack of war horses, Gao Yu formed the Huainan Mule Army.

This army used mules instead of war horses, and its combat effectiveness was quite good in Huainan.

He has always been wise to protect himself, because of the arrival of 20,000 cavalry, he immediately sent 70,000 troops, with the Huainan Mule Army as the vanguard, and viciously pounced on Tang Zhangwei.

Tang Zhangwei entered Huainan without authorization, and actually fell out with Emperor Huang Chao of Great Qi.

In addition, Tang Zhangwei was not interested in this copycat version of the emperor in his heart, so he got in touch with Yang Fuguang, the eunuch of the world's soldiers and horses, and he was appointed as the assassin of Yangzhou.

The seat of Huainan Military Town is in Yangzhou, and Yang Fuguang's appointment disgusted Gao Yu.

Tang Xizong, who was far away in Shu, learned that Tang Zhangwei led the army to rebel against Huangchao, and he had to pacify Gao Pi who was sitting and watching the success or failure. He was overjoyed and said: "Gao Biao disobeyed the orders of the court and lived up to the emperor's grace, and today is finally rewarded." ”

The eunuch Tian Lingzi said: "Now that Tang Zhangwei is winning, it is better to approve him to serve as the assassin of Yangzhou, and then appoint him as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu." ”

Tang Xizong said: "Will this stimulate Gao Yu to surrender to the traitor Huang Chao." ”

Tian Lingzi said: "Gao Yu and Huang Chao don't share the sky, and the two may unite." ”

Tang Xizong said: "Zhun Song, I'm going to play polo." ”

Tian Lingzi said: "The king is sage. ”

After that, because Gao Biao sat and watched the success or failure, all his soldiers and horses were unified, and the salt and iron transfer envoys were all dismissed by Tang Xizong.

The position of Huainan Jiedu envoy was also given to Tang Zhangwei, and Gao Biao only retained the official position of deputy ambassador of Huainan Jiedu.

With the appointment of the imperial court, Tang Zhangwei took Bai Cunxiao as the vanguard and led the army to occupy Shouzhou City.

This Shouzhou City is the gateway to Huainan, and when attacking Shouzhou City, Tang Zhangwei mainly played a time difference.

When Gao Biao learned that Shouzhou Assassin had escaped, he was furious, and Gao Biao surrounded Shouzhou City with an army of 60,000.

Before Gao Biao led his troops to besiege Shouzhou City, Tang Zhangwei ordered the generals Li Shijie and Wei Youji to defend the city, and he led 15,000 elite soldiers to attack Luzhou.

In the city of Luzhou, at this time, Shi Lang was powerless to stop the rebellion of the military official Yang Xingmi. had to let the city go, Tang Zhangwei immediately led the army to besiege Luzhou City.

Tang Zhangwei sent someone to recruit Yang Xingmi, ready to protect him as the assassin of Luzhou, but Yang Xingmi said: "I have been played by Gao Biao as the assassin of Luzhou, do you still need you, the guest army?" ”

Tang Zhangwei's soldiers captured the fleeing former Luzhou Thorn Shi Lang You, and ordered him to shout to the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city laughed at the old chief.

Under the order of Gao Yu, Sun Duan and Zhang Xiong, the assassin of Shuzhou, led Qin Yan and Bi Shiduo to Luzhou, and Bi Shiduo led the famous Huainan Mule Army.

Tang Zhangwei immediately ordered Bai Cunxiao to lead an army of 8,000 and go straight to Yangzhou City.

At this time, Yangzhou City was guarded by Fang Shilu Yongzhi and Zhang Shouyi, both of whom were villains and were scathing, so they pretended to be ghosts.

In order to seek longevity, Gao Yu has used it to the point of obeying Lu. Zhuge Yin, who was covered in pus, and Zhang Shouyi, a Taoist priest from the countryside, relied on performing magic tricks to bluff Gao Yu for a moment.

When Bai Cunxiao led an army of 8,000 to attack the city of Yangzhou, Gao Biao immediately ordered the Huainan Mule Army to come to the rescue.

Bi Shiduo and Lu Yongzhi have old grudges, when Lu Yongzhi was still a little Taoist, Bi Shiduo was the general of Huangchao, he led people to destroy Lu Yongzhi's whole family as a Taoist priest and businessman, so when Lu Yongzhi took power, he wanted to kill Bi Shiduo, who had already taken refuge in Gao Biao. However, Bi Shiduo has an elite mule army in Huainan, so even Gao Biao doesn't dare to do anything to him.

The two often verbally attack each other because of trivial matters.

Under the instigation of Lu Yongzhi, it turned out that Gao Biao's fierce generals Liang Zhang, Chen Hui, Feng Shou, Dong Jin, Yu Gongchu, Yao Guili, etc., could not get credit, so Gao Biao would be very passive when he started fighting.

Yu Gongchu was Lu Yongzhi's introducer, and he also fell out with Lu Yongzhi at this time.

When no one in Yangzhou was willing to fight, the 20,000 elite soldiers hidden in Yangzhou City were also defeated and retreated by Bai Cunxiao.

Bai Cunxiao had fewer enemies and more enemies, and actually attacked Yangzhou City. Because of the courage of the 8,000 Youzhou army led by Bai Cunxiao, most of Yangzhou City was occupied, leaving only a corner of the southeast corner that Lu Yongzhi held onto.

In order to understand the siege of Yangzhou, Gao Biao had to break the siege from Shouzhou.

Wei Youji led 3,000 elite soldiers to cover up and kill, and actually left a lot of corpses in the 60,000 Huainan army.

The fierce generals Liang Zhang, Chen Hui, Feng Shou, Dong Jin, Yu Gongchu, Yao Guili and others were framed and suspicious by Lu Yongzhi, so they did not contribute to the work.

Under Gao Biao's personal inquiry, the Huainan Mule Army finally rushed to the city of Yangzhou day and night.

Gao Yu, who knew that the Huainan army was coming, immediately abandoned Yangzhou City.

10,000 Huainan mule troops set up a formation and engaged Bai Cunxiao's army, but Bai Cunxiao led the army to sweep past the front of the formation and did not fight them.

When the eunuch Tian Lingzi learned that Huainan had been fighting hard for days, he proudly said to Tang Xizong: "Weichen's plan to kill two birds with one stone has worked. ”

Tang Zhangwei was under the city of Luzhou and recruited 30,000 soldiers, and because he had no weapons, he equipped this army with wooden sticks, hoes and machetes.

According to Tang Zhangwei's order, after a short training machine, they rushed to Kailuzhou City with machetes.

Yang Xingmi immediately ordered the guards in the city to shoot arrows at the city and pour dung, boiling water, and hot oil.

An improvised army of 30,000 suffered heavy losses. However, it is precisely because of this that the relationship between the local people and Yang Xingmi immediately deteriorated.

The two sides began to insult continuously, and the common people and Yang Xingmi completely tore their faces.

Tang Zhangwei ordered the people to set up a battering ram and began to dig tunnels at the same time.

The two sides launched a fierce battle under the city of Luzhou.

Finally, relying on the large number of people, Tang Zhangwei finally attacked the city.

Yang Xingmi was tied up and handed over to Tang Zhangwei to send it down.

At this time, Gao Biao took the Huainan Mule Army, and Zhou Bao, the envoy of Zhenhai Jiedu from the south, and Shi Pu, the envoy of Wuning Jiedu from the north, rushed to Luzhou with great momentum.

For a time, Luzhou was in danger, and the newly attached Huainan people were restless.
