Chapter 10: Zhu Wen

According to Tang Zhangwei's orders, the elite soldiers of the Xiaoyong battalion shouted while slashing and killing: "The righteous army entered the city just to hold Wang Jingchong, and the rest was not asked." ”

Unexpectedly, this festival made Wang Jingchong treat the soldiers of the feudal town well on weekdays, and these people refused to surrender.

Tang Zhangwei gritted his teeth and threw all the 5,000 infantry under his command into battle.

At this time, Wang Jingchong's troops finally couldn't stand it, and the five thousand elite soldiers joined forces and opened Zhenzhou City.

In the midst of the chaos, Wang Jingchong was killed, and the remaining Chengde soldiers surrendered one after another.

Tang Zhangwei incorporated the soldiers and divided the land of Chengde Military Town with Zhuge Shuang according to the agreement. Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a cloud of smoke and dust, and Zhu Wen arrived with an army of 40,000.

Zhuge Shuang didn't want to go against Zhu Wen and took the initiative to give way to it, so Zhu Wen directly led his troops to camp under Zhenzhou City.

Zhu Wen claimed that there was a secret decree of the Great Qi Emperor. As a last resort, Tang Zhangwei had no choice but to take 5,000 cavalry elites and go down to the city to meet Zhu Wen.

As soon as they met, Zhu Wen was very affectionate, and he said: "The Emperor of Great Qi is very happy that you and Zhuge Shuang have conquered the three towns of Heshuo, and he ordered Youzhou City to be fought by me, and you can go and take the Huainan Domain, as well as the Jiangnan Domain that you rebelled against the Tang Dynasty." ”

Tang Zhangwei didn't expect that Huang Chao didn't trust his younger brother, so he had to say: "The destruction of Youzhou is only overnight, and I'm afraid that the infantry commander Huang Kui will not listen to the order." ”

Zhu Wen reprimanded left and right, and said to Tang Zhangwei: "How could I not know that this Youzhou City was brought down by you, but at this time, you and I have no right to inquire about the family affairs of the Great Qi Emperor!" In this troubled world, we who eat military rations can only hold the knife in our hands tightly in order to survive. ”

Tang Zhangwei was afraid that Zhu Wen was testing himself, so he said, "Will I bring troops back to Youzhou?" ”

Zhu Wen said: "That's not necessary, I will lead the troops to walk slowly, camp along the way, and sweep away the remnants of the Tang Dynasty." You can hurry back and break through that Youzhou City with Huang Kuo. ”

Tang Zhangwei led 5,000 cavalry day and night to the city of Youzhou.

At this time, Huang Kuo besieged Youzhou City again.

Li Keju felt a headache, why did this Huang Chao's younger brother always not let go of himself!

Tang Zhangwei's arrival greatly boosted the morale of Huang Kuo's army.

Huang Kui commanded the army and wanted to break through Youzhou City.

Tang Zhangwei said what Emperor Huang Chao of Great Qi meant, and Huang Kuo said: "It seems that Emperor Great Qi wants Zhu Wen to be in charge of Youzhou, so let's not get involved." I can't guess what our brother thinks. ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Let's take this opportunity to talk to the Khitan Khan and change more horses." ”

Huang said: "What you say makes sense. "Tang Zhangwei and Huang Kuo don't attack the city under the city, but they are in a hurry to Li Keju. Because, the food in Youzhou City has been almost eaten. If they continue to fight, they will gnaw on the bark and Guanyin soil.

Li Keju sent people to negotiate with Huang Kuo to discuss whether he could let the city go. Originally, Huang Hua already wanted to hand over the task of attacking the city to Zhu Wen. Unexpectedly, a big pie fell from the sky, so Huang Hua immediately agreed, so Li Keju gave up Youzhou City.

Li Keju took his army of 15,000 and went north to the Khitan.

Zhu Wen originally wanted to pick up a bargain, but he didn't expect Huang Hua to win Youzhou City for nothing, which made him very angry.

Zhu Wen pretended to take advantage of the military order of Emperor Huang Chao of Great Qi and rushed to Youzhou City day and night.

At this time, the entire Youzhou City was full of hunger, like hell on earth.

Tang Zhangwei entered the city, slaughtered weak horses and livestock, distributed military rations, and saved many people.

Of course, this military ration is not eaten for nothing, they are responsible for burying the corpses and cleaning up.

In Youzhou City, Tang Zhangwei organized all kinds of craftsmen and other people.

Huang Kuo entered Youzhou and played with all kinds of beauties all day long, and handed over all the big and small things to Tang Zhangwei.

Tang Zhangwei took out all the weapons hidden in Youzhou City, selected 20,000 Ding Zhuang, and trained them as the Youzhou Army.

At the same time, Tang Zhangwei brought all kinds of cloth and iron utensils to trade with the Khitan people with tea in the south, and the Youzhou people switched to drinking locally produced tea.

A large number of commodities were imported into the Khitan grassland, and Tang Zhangwei refused to accept any request from the Khitan Spur Khan.

The Tang Dynasty has always carried out a trade blockade on the Khitan, and this Tang Zhangwei changed his previous style and won the favor of the Khitan departments.

The Khitans entered Youzhou in large numbers to trade, and horses and livestock were driven into Youzhou City in large numbers.

In just three months, Tang Zhangwei actually bought 30,000 war horses.

Of course, 10,000 of them were purchased in place of the generals of the Tang Dynasty and the troops of Huang Chao.

Even, Zhu Wen's troops entrusted Tang Zhangwei to buy three hundred war horses.

In the Guannei, various military towns are in full swing, and Youzhou Town is like a paradise, and the business with the Khitan people is hot.

Tang Zhangwei distributed horses and ploughing cattle to the people under his rule, and organized a joint defense.

Youzhou soldiers and civilians, 100 people for every 1,000 people, each with a machete or sword, training stabbing. For every thousand people, a cavalry squad of 100 people is trained

For every 10,000 people, a regular army of 200 men is supported, but this army has to help the people with farm work in addition to training.

When Zhu Wen saw the unity of the people of Youzhou, he didn't dare to make a mistake easily.

Huang Chao saw that the three towns of Heshuo had been ordered, so he ordered Zhu Wen and Huang Kuo to work together to help him eliminate the remnants of the Tang Dynasty.

Huang Chao actually only took a corner of the Tang Dynasty's territory, and Zhu Wen and Huang Kuo were recruited by Emperor Daqi and had to raise troops to enter the customs.

The envoy of Youzhou Jiedu was succeeded by Lin Yan, the nephew of Huang Chao.

Tang Zhangwei picked out 10,000 good horses, handed them to Huang Kuo, and entered Guanzhong with Zhu Wen and Huang Kuo.

Tang Zhangwei had 15,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry. Tang Zhangwei had 20,000 good horses under his command, and 5,000 infantry also rode good horses to the road.

In order to facilitate the camping, Tang Zhangwei ordered the craftsmen of Youzhou City to imitate many Xi cars. When they slept at night, their servicemen slept on the taunting car.

Later, the craftsmen of Youzhou built another cart that was easy to walk on flat ground.

Huang had 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, and Zhu Wen had 40,000 troops.

Zhu Wen saw that Tang Zhangwei and they had a lot of horses, and asked for them day and night, which made Tang Zhangwei overwhelmed.

Tang Zhangwei and they traveled day and night and rushed to Luoyang, the eastern capital.

After entering the Eastern Capital, Tang Zhangwei said to his subordinates: "We work hard for Huangchao, but we want to have a bowl of rice to eat, today's Tang Dynasty is still lucky, Guanzhong is thousands of miles away, we shouldn't mix those things, it's better for us to lead the troops to the south to pacify Jiangnan, and there will be someone to stand in the future." ”

All the soldiers said, "Good! ”

So, Tang Zhangwei led an army of 20,000 to pull out the camp overnight and went straight to the territory of Yang Fuguang, the envoy of the Zhongwu Army.

At this time, Yang Fuguang was appointed as the eunuch of the world's soldiers and horses.

Seeing Tang Zhangwei's 20,000 cavalry roaring towards him, he immediately discussed with his subordinate general Qin Zongquan how to resist.

At this time, Xu Zhou's guard expelled Ren Zhongwu Jiedu envoy Xue Neng, and replaced him himself, in order to save his life and glory and wealth, he surrendered to Huangchao.

Zhou Qi sent people to greet Tang Zhangwei, Tang Zhangwei said that there was an urgent military order, not to enter Xuzhou City, just to say hello to Zhou Qi, and led the troops across the entire territory of the Zhongwu Jiedu envoy and entered Huainan.
