The changes in Luoyang are probably something that many people did not expect.

It was not that the army of the imperial court could not conquer Luoyang, but that a strong attack would cause a lot of losses, so it has not been attacked, but mainly persuaded to surrender.

Who knew that at this time, Zhu Wen was called the emperor, and Zhang Yan actually accepted Zhu Wen's canonization of the first king of Dongping.

You must know that the king of Dongping is the title of Zhu Wen before he served as the king of Liang, and now he has given Zhang Yan, which can be regarded as giving Zhang Yan enough face.

Zhang Yan then gave up the idea of defecting to the imperial court, and instead chose to be loyal to Zhu Wen's established pseudo-Liang.

But who would have thought that Zhu Wen would anger one person by claiming to be the emperor, and that was Luoyang's Xuanwu general --- Dinghui.

This is a result that many people do not expect.

According to Ding Hui's words, he was dissatisfied with Liang Daitang, as for why he first followed Zhu Wen to join the rebels of Huangchao, and then followed Zhu Wen to rebel against the imperial court, no one can say.

Of course, Ding Hui's explanation is that not long after Huang Chao became emperor, he followed Zhu Wen to the Tang Dynasty; Now that Zhu Wen is the emperor, he has raised troops to break away from Zhu Wen's pseudo-Liang.

Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, it is true that Dante would defeat Zhang Yan's army of Heyang and then surrender Kaesong.

The 10,000 Xuanwu army alone was not enough to defeat the tens of thousands of Heyang troops so quickly, and Zhang Jizuo also helped him, because he was dissatisfied with his father's loyalty to Zhu Wen.

Therefore, the key is that Zhang Jizuo directly led his troops to surround the 'Dongping Palace', which had just been replaced with a plaque, and forced the Heyang army, which had fought fiercely with the Dinghui army, to lay down its arms and surrender. Recommended reading tv//

For this series of changes, both Zheng Congyan and Li Hong felt deceitful at first, but in the end it was found that Ding Hui and Zhang Jizuo were really willing to surrender, and when they surrendered, in order to dispel the doubts of the imperial court, they also drove tens of thousands of troops out of Luoyang City.

"The criminal general Ding Hui (Zhang Jizuo), I have seen Zheng Dutong, Liu Dutong, and Li Dutong!"

The former Heyang Jiedu Embassy, Zheng Congyan sat in the main seat, Liu Qi, Li Hong and others sat on the left and right, the former Xuanwu general Ding Hui and the former Heyang Jiedu envoy Zhang Jizuo knelt on one knee in the middle of the hall, and his attitude was very respectful.

Zheng Congyan raised his hand and said with a smile, "General Ding and General Zhang, please, if there are no two generals, how can Wang Shi take Luoyang so quickly." ”

Ding Hui got up, but still hugged his fists and said, "The previous crime will be deceived by Zhu Wen, and he will be the enemy of Wang Shi, please punish Zheng Dutong." ”

"There is no need for punishment!" Zheng Congyan said lightly, "This is not what Bendu said, but the will of the saints, let the two of you take it." ”

Hearing that there was a holy decree, Ding Hui and Zhang Jizuo hurriedly bowed down and prepared to receive the decree.

Soon, a eunuch came to Zheng Congyan and began to read the holy decree aloud to Ding Hui and the others.

It means that the two of them 'know that mistakes can be changed, and they are very good', and they will not be held accountable for their previous sins.

And Zhang Jizuo temporarily led the Heyang Festival envoy, and Ding Hui was the Sima of the Heyang March.

For the appointment of the two, the holy decree mentions a word - temporary, which means that the positions of the two will be changed later, as for whether they are promoted or demoted, it depends on the performance of the two.

These two appointments were decent, but Zheng Congyan announced that Chang Xingru would be the deputy envoy of Heyang Jiedu and the Yin of Henan Prefecture, and that Chang Xingru would manage Heyang's affairs on behalf during the period when Ding Hui and Zhang Jizuo led the troops to war.

However, Heyang's army was still under the command of Zhang Jizuo, and the old Xuanwu department was under the command of Ding Hui.

Ding Hui and the others were not too surprised by Chang Xingru's appointment, they had recently surrendered, and it was good for the imperial court to allow them to lead their own troops.

"Thank you, Lord Ron!" Hearing that the imperial court did not hold him accountable before, and also let himself serve as the marching Sima of the envoy of the Heyang Festival, Ding Hui was already very satisfied.

"Ding Sima, this appointment is only temporary, as long as Ding Sima can make immortal meritorious deeds in the next counterinsurgency, then the capital will definitely ask for merit for you in front of the saint." Zheng Congyan said with a smile.

"The last general thanked Zheng Dutong!"

"Zheng Dutong... Zhang Jizuo hurriedly stood up, and after saluting Zheng Congyan, he hurriedly said, "Dare to ask Zheng Dutong, what does the imperial court plan to do with my father?" I have a grudge against Xuanwu in Heyang, but it's only because my father is greedy for the title, so he is stupid and goes against the court... ”

Zheng Congyan smiled, "Zhang Jiedu can rest assured, Ling Zun will be fine." But after all, he played with the imperial court several times and went against the imperial court, and the holy decree was to remove all his positions and move his family to Chang'an to settle down.

I wonder if Zhang Jiedu can be satisfied with this result? ”

"Satisfied! Satisfied! Hearing that his father had no worries about his life, Zhang Jizuo was relieved.

"Ding Sima, you have been following the traitor Zhu Wen for a long time, and you also know more about the situation of Xuanwu, what do you think the imperial court should do if it wants to quell Zhu Wen's rebellion?" Zheng Congyan asked.

"When you go back to Zheng Dutong, the best way is to separate. In recent years, the traitor Zhu Wen has become more and more brutal and unkind, killing people at every turn. The suspicion is very strong, and even the generals Zhu Zhen and Huo Cun under their command are also because of Zhu Wen's suspicion, so they broke away from Xuanwu.

If you want to pacify Xuanwu, you only need to kill or capture Pang Shigu and Ge Cong.

At present, these two people are the generals who can be in charge of Xuanwu alone, and if they can get rid of the two, the other generals of Xuanwu will not be afraid. ”

Zheng Congyan seemed to ask very casually, but it didn't mean that Ding Hui would come to a petition and not take some dry goods, how could he make the court believe that he was sincerely surrendering.

Zheng Congyan nodded, but Ding Hui hadn't said it all, in fact, Jing Xiang and Xie Yu were also important obstacles to the imperial court's pacification of Xuanwu.

"The last general has one more suggestion!" Now that he has chosen to return to the imperial court, Ding Hui does not plan to hide it.

"Ding Sima, please speak!"

"In fact, Zheng Dutong should have heard of it, and that is the issue of establishing an heir. When Zhu Youyu was still there before, Zhu Yougong and Zhu Youyu fought very hard, and later Zhu Youyu angered Zhu Wen because of that rebellion, and he has been snubbed since then.

Now that Zhu Youyu has been executed, the battle between Zhu Youwen and Zhu Yougong for the crown prince of the pseudo-Liang is bound to become more intense.

Therefore, the last general thought that he could start from the battle between the two and provoke the contradiction between the two, which might be of some help to the counterinsurgency of the imperial court. "TV debut

Just when Ding Hui was making suggestions for the court in order to win the trust of the court, the atmosphere in Bianzhou was a little strange.

No one thought that Ding Hui would betray Liang and return to Tang at this time, you must know that Ding Hui was a veteran who followed Zhu Wen, but he didn't expect that when Liang was first established, he would betray Zhu Wen.

As soon as Zhu Wen was angry, it meant that there was a river of blood, and the smell of blood in the Daliang Palace that day was pungent, and no one knew how many people died.

However, Ding Hui's rebellion allowed the Tang army to kill the hinterland of the Liang army, and the troops came to the city of Zhengzhou, and Zhu Wen hurriedly ordered Niu Cunjie to lead an army of 30,000 to reinforce Zhengzhou.

Just when Li Hong was about to take Zhengzhou in one go, heavy snow fell in the sky, and for a time the north and south banks of the Yellow River were frozen for thousands of miles.

However, the artillery and muskets of the Shenji Battalion and the Tiance Army were damp to varying degrees and could not fight, and the first siege ended in failure.

Seeing that the cold weather was not conducive to the attack, Zheng Congyan ordered the army to be stationed outside the city of Zhengzhou, and asked Li Hong to send cavalry to attack the grain route of the Xuanwu army and besiege the 50,000 Xuanwu army in the city.
