Zhu Wen first slept Zhu Xuan's wife Rong for a few nights, and then brought it back to Bianzhou, where Mrs. Zhang heard of her husband's triumph and welcomed her to Fengqiu (now Fengqiu, Henan). Zhu Wen proudly told his wife about the war, but he didn't know that he was running away and told the ugly story of the Rong family. Mrs. Zhang's face was displeased, and she quickly saw Rong's. Rong's life hung in the hands of others, and he saw Mrs. Zhang crying and worshipping. Mrs. Zhang also cried and bowed: "Taiwei Zhu (Zhu Xuan is the inspector Taiwei) and Bianzhou have the same surname, and they are big countries with each other. If Taiwei falls into Bianzhou, I'm afraid I'll have the same fate as you. Then he cried again.

Zhu Wen loves to respect Mrs. Zhang the most, and he will obey Mrs. Zhang's words, and never dare to be resentful. Zhu Wen was so smart that he heard Mrs. Zhang's voice-over: "If you are going to fail, I will still be humiliated by Zhu Xuan." Zhu Wen was ashamed for a while, so he sent the Rong family to the temple as a nun, and never got close to the Rong family again. Mrs. Zhang was kind-hearted and often sent people to send food and clothing to the Rong family.

Zhu Wen is a famous evil star of the five generations, he never kills softly, no matter if you are the emperor Laozi or a servant, as long as he is happy, let you die in the third watch, and you will definitely not live in the fifth watch, but Zhu Wen only respects Mrs. Zhang, which is really impressive.

Zhu Xuan was finally eliminated, and Zhu Wen was so unhappy. When Zhu Wen must remove Zhu Xuan and the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao must eliminate Lu Bu is actually a truth, that is, "How can others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?" "Zhu Xuan and Lu Bu's threat to Zhu Wen and Cao Cao is fatal, and the so-called "elbow and armpit trouble" must not be kept.

After Cao Cao pacified Yuan Shao's forces, his army of 200,000 went south, and Zhu Wen had not yet pacified Li Keyong, so he was about to go south. In the fourth year of Qianning (897), spring had just begun. Zhu Wen marched south. Because Zhu Yougong won a great victory with the Huainan Army not long ago, he occupied Ezhou (now Wuhan). Ezhou takes advantage of the Yangtze River, and can go directly to Jinling down the east of the river. This is also the reason why Juwinton has the ambition of the southern expedition. Let Pang Shigu lead the East Route Army out of Qingkou, and Ge Congzhou lead the West Route Army out of Anfeng, and the two roads will be combined. Yang Xingmi, the chief executive of Huainan, learned that Zhu Wen was going south, and scolded in his heart: "You shameless Zhu San, I, Yang someone, recruited you to provoke you, come to me for trouble?" ”

Yang Xingmi is not Li Yu, he is also an old oil sperm with thorns on his body, he is not afraid of your hand. Yang Xingmi sent Zhu Wen's old friend Zhu Jin to Shouchun to "entertain" Pang Shigu, but he didn't expect Zhu Jin to suddenly open his mind this time. Last time Zhu Wen attacked with fire, this time I attacked with water.

In fact, water attacks are not unusual, the key is that Zhu Jin's opponent is not Zhu Wen, but the brave and resourceless Pang Shigu. Zhu Jin saw that the Bianjun army was located at the mouth of the river, so he decided the Huai River, and the Huainan army took advantage of the situation to rush over, but the ancient department of Pang Shi was caught off guard, and Zhu Jin "flooded the Seventh Army", and all the Bianzhou soldiers became "shrimp soldiers and crab generals". The huge general also died in the chaos. Ge Congzhou on the West Road saw that Pang Shigu was finished, but he didn't want to play in the water, so he retreated.

In fact, the main responsibility for this defeat of Qingkou is Pang Shigu. First of all, the Qingkou where the Bianjun army was stationed was on low ground. The high place in front is the Huai River, and as soon as the Huainan army releases the water, the Bianjun army has nowhere to run. And some of his subordinates already see the danger. Reminded Pang Shigu. But Pang Shigu's loyalty to Zhu Wen was really great, and he didn't get Zhu Wen's order. can't change places randomly, the most infuriating thing is that Pang Shigu actually killed this person of insight who reminded him. It's stupid and confused, damn it.

In May of the second year of Guanghua (899 AD), Yang Xingmi made a big move of 50,000 fine armor, and Xuzhou was in an emergency. Zhu Wen heard that Yang Xingmi couldn't be ignored, and thought: "It's really shameless, I have withdrawn the army, and you still come to pester me?" "Zhu Wen is ready to personally conquest, teach Yang Xingmi a lesson, and avenge Pang Shigu. But as soon as Yang Xingmi heard that Zhu Wen was coming, he withdrew without saying a word.

Zhu Wen actually didn't want to play with Yang Xingmi, after all, there were many things in the north, and Li Keyong was the biggest threat, as well as Liu Rengong, who occupied Youzhou, Wang Rong, who occupied Zhenzhou (now Zhengding, Hebei), and Luo Hongxin, who occupied Weibo, and Luo Hongxin, who was in Weibo, and the situation was still unclear. Until the situation in the north is stabilized, it is not appropriate to make a big move in the south.

Zhu Wen's analysis of the current situation is indeed very correct, Youzhou Jiedu made Liu Rengong send troops to attack Wei Bo's army, trapping Beizhou (now Qinghe, Hebei), Luo Hongxin asked Zhu Wen for help. When the Bianjun fought the Youzhou army in Neihuang and the Youzhou army, and the two were inseparable, Ge Congzhou, who was stationed in Shandong, quickly sent troops to support, defeated the Youzhou army, and beheaded more than 20,000. Liu Rengong stole the chicken and lost the rice, and returned to Cangzhou.

After beating Liu Rengong, Zhu Wen and Li Keyong did it again. Luzhou is the most important military stronghold between Jinyang and Bianzhou, and whoever gets Luzhou will occupy a favorable position. But this battle did not go well for Zhu Wen, and in the end he still did not take Luzhou, which became a heart problem for Zhu Wen.

It's overwhelming, like locusts, hehe. History is indeed like this, the so-called general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time, it must be united. The situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is extremely chaotic, and I really don't know why I chose to write about the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the first place. It's really hard to write about troubled times, the clues are messy, and the plot is messy. Yang Xingmi is actually a powerful character, not inferior to Zhu Wen, what kind of wind and waves have never been seen, just the life and death gamble between him and Sun Ru is very exciting and exciting. After the victory of Qingkou, Lao Yang wrote a letter to Lao Zhu, saying that Pang Shi Guge's level from Zhou was too low, and he warmly invited Zhu San to cross the river to accompany him to practice, but Zhu Wen didn't have the time to dump him, and he didn't settle his mess.

In terms of strength, Hedong and Bianzhou are about the same, but in terms of personal ability, maybe Zhu Wen is slightly more than Li Keyong. In the matter of Shangyuan Station, there is also a saying that Li Ke offended Zhu Wen with his words, and Zhu San set the fire in anger. Zhu Wen is indeed brutal and shameless, but he is also a rare temperament in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, not to mention anything else, just his sincere love for Mrs. Zhang is enough to move people. Li Keyong is the same, but everyone plays differently. I don't like Hou Tang very much, I prefer Hou Liang, and I like Hou Zhou the most. As for Jin Han, there is nothing worth mentioning, except for Shi Jingjiao.

The demise of the Tang Dynasty was actually inevitable from the Anshi Rebellion, and the imperial court completely lost its actual control over the Guanzhong domains, forming a situation of Qin and the Six Kingdoms at the end of the Warring States Period, but only maintaining unity on the surface. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were a continuation of the Tang Dynasty Rebellion, but most of the feudal towns became nominal submissions to the Tang Dynasty, and they were actually overlords on their own territory.

Zhu Wen couldn't take advantage of Li Keyong. Liu Rengong's idea was raised again. In April of the third year of Guanghua (900), Zhu Wen ordered Ge to lead the Shandong army north from Zhou to attack Cangzhou. This time it was relatively smooth, and it was connected to Cangzhou and Texas. Liu Rengong came to settle accounts with Ge Congzhou. As a result, he was eaten by Ge Congzhou Meng, with more than 10,000 deaths and injuries. Liu Rengong is actually not self-sufficient, at that time, the most powerful in the north were Li Keyong and Zhu Wen, Liu Rengong's strength is limited, and he should learn to survive in the cracks, instead of swaggering around.

Li Keyong attacked Weizhou with a sneak attack, preparing to eliminate Wei Bo, and Zhu Wen worked tirelessly to recover Weizhou. Unexpectedly, Li Jintong from Hedong heard that Zhu Wen was coming, and he was frightened. Slipped. Zhu Wen saw that Li Jintong had run away and had no place to vent his anger, so he went to Zhenzhou to clean up Wang Rong. As usual, Ge Congzhou was the front army, and Zhu Wen sat in the middle army. Wang Rong almost didn't cry in fright, and hurriedly sent his subordinates to sue for peace in the next week.

Zhu Wen was still angry at first, Zhou's eloquence was good, and he talked eloquently: "Zhu Gong is a hero in the world, and he is the Qi Huan Jinwen of my dynasty." Zhu Gong's benevolence and righteousness are not under Qi Huan Jinwen, so why force Wang Rong to a dead end. If you give birth to a person, you will win the floating slaughter, and Zhu Gong should leave a way for Wang Rong to survive. ”

But all cruel people like to hear others praise him for his benevolence and righteousness, and Zhu Wen is no exception. He excitedly shook Zhou Shi's hand and said, "Comrade Zhou Shi said it very well, so be it, Wang Rong will send a hostage over." I'll withdraw my troops. Wang Rong had no choice but to send his son Wang Zhaozuo as a hostage. Zhu Wen withdrew.

Zhu Wen decided to open up a new situation in the north in November. He sent the general Zhang Cunjing to attack Liu Rengong and capture Yingzhou (now Hejian, Hebei) and Mozhou (now Moxian, Hebei). Zhang Cunjing was ordered by Zhu Wen to attack Dingzhou (now Dingxian County, Hebei), and Wang Gao (Wang Chucun's son) did not fight Zhang Cunjing by the Yiwu Army, and fled to Jinyang. Wang Gao's uncle Wang Chuzhi knew that he was not Zhu Wen's opponent and asked Zhu Wen for peace.

Zhu Wen wrote a letter to ask Dingzhou, "Why do you often shoot Li Keyong's sycophants?" Don't you think it stinks? Wang Chuzhi replied: "My brother and Li Keyong formed a deep fighting friendship when they were crusading against Huangchao, and they are neighbors, so they usually have no other intentions. ”

Zhu Wen's northern expedition to calm down and set the main purpose was strategic deterrence, so that these warlords who were not strong but could influence the balance of power between him and Li Keyong turned to him and isolated Li Keyong. Since Wang Chuzhi agreed to be his subordinate, some other "prefecture-level" warlords also surrendered to Zhu Wen one after another, and when the situation in the northeast stabilized, they withdrew their troops and returned.

From the perspective of the strategic situation, Zhu Wen controlled the Central Plains and connected Wei and Zhao in the north, which caused great pressure on the mortal enemy Li Keyong. Zhao Wei is an important strategic flank of the Central Plains, just as Huainan has great strategic significance to Jiangdong, and later Li Cunqiao destroyed Liang, but also first ate Zhao Wei, knocked out the right depth of the Liang Dynasty, and succeeded in a surprise attack on Bianliang.

Survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle, the ancient and modern unchanged Dali, by the tenth century AD, many small warlords have been annexed a lot. At this time, the princes of Dazhen can be counted as Zhu Wen of the Central Plains, Li Keyong of Hedong, Wang Rong of Chengde, Wang Chuzhi of Yiwu, Luo Shaowei of Weibo, Wang Ke of Hezhong, Liu Rengong of Youzhou, Wang Shifan of Qingzhou, Li Maozhen of Fengxiang, Li Sijian of the Dingyan Army, Wang Jian of Liangchuan, Cheng Wei of Jingnan, Zhong Chuan of Jiangxi, Yang Xingmi of Huainan, Qian Hao of Zhejiang, Wang Zhenzhi of Fujian, Ma Yin of Hunan, and Liu Yin of Guangdong.

For such a chaotic situation, Li Ye of Tang Zhaozong, who was sitting in Chang'an City and worshiped as a bodhisattva, had no choice but to get by and resign himself to fate. Not to mention sending troops to crusade against the rebels, even in Chang'an City, Li Ye doesn't have much right to speak. The eunuch forces that have not been able to fall since the Anshi rebellion can still make some noise at this time, Tian Lingzi is running away, but the other eunuchs still pinch the emperor in their hands to play. Li Ye is subject to Liu Jishu, a lieutenant of the Left Army, internally, and Cui Yin, the pug prime minister of Zhu Wen, externally, and his living environment is extremely harsh, so you can imagine how he feels.

When life is in the hands of others, the only thing that can temporarily relieve the pain may be only drinking, and it is best to drink to death, and if you don't die, you won't feel pain if you are stabbed while drunk. Li Ye often drinks, is moody when drunk, and even slashes several eunuchs and palace maids because of drunkenness, and does not open the palace door after dawn, and people outside the palace do not know the inside story, and the people are untouched.

Liu Jishu as the emperor's "guardian", naturally to ask, Tang Guanghua three years (AD 900) November, Liu Jishu led the forbidden army of more than 1,000 people to break into the inner palace, asked other palace people, learned that Zhaozong was drunk and killed, and his heart was secretly happy. Liu Jishu has long wanted to find an opportunity to abolish Li Ye, but now that the opportunity has come, how can he miss it? Liu Jishu went out of the palace to gather the chief minister and discuss with each other: "The emperor is so disobedient, how can he be the lord of the world again!" Today, it is planned by the community, and the story of Yiyin should be carried out, and the public should not doubt it. "Let everyone sign so that there will be evidence in the future, everyone took pictures of Liu Jishu and had soldiers, and they all had to sign the petition.

Then Liu Jishu led the troops into the palace, Li Ye woke up and was shocked when he saw this, and Queen He's frightened face turned pale: "Don't hurt the official's family, don't hurt the official's family, there is something to discuss." Liu Jishu ignored it, and issued a letter signed by hundreds of officials, and said coldly: "The ministers all ask Your Majesty to abdicate, and the crown prince will supervise the country, and Your Majesty can live for the rest of his life." Li Ye is still making the last struggle: "Yesterday I drank too much, so that I killed people, and I regret it very much, why should Junrong be like this?" ”

Empress He knew that Liu Jishu was ruthless, and she was afraid of provoking him, so she hurriedly persuaded Zhaozong: "Your Majesty will listen to Lord Junrong today." The national treasure was handed over to Liu Jishu, and then he and Li Ye took a car to the East Palace, where they were placed under house arrest by Liu Jishu in Shaoyang Courtyard and guarded by the eunuch Wang Zhongxian. Liu Jishu led hundreds of officials to support the crown prince Li Ji and enshrined Li Ye as the emperor.

Liu Jishu is so bold and reckless, most of the officials are dissatisfied, the prime minister Cui Yin and the former servant Zhang Jun are all good friends of Zhu Wen, and the only one who can get rid of these eunuchs now is Zhu Wen, and the secret letter is spread to Bianzhou. And Liu Jishu also thought of Zhu Wen, and sent his nephew Liu Xizhen to find Zhu Wen and ask Zhu Wen to recognize the little emperor. At this time, Zhu Wen was still in Hebei, smelling the palace changes, and hurriedly returned to Bianzhou to summon civil and military affairs, but Zhu Wen was still a little hesitant about whether to abandon Li Ye and admit Li Ji.

Li Zhen, who had just returned from Chang'an, advised Zhu Wen: "Ji Shu is an ugly villain, dares to abolish the Son of Heaven, and dictates the imperial court, which is a national shame, if the king does not disobey this minister, how can he command the world?" What's more, since ancient times, those who have won the Son of Heaven have become great things, and what Wei Wu has done, the king has also followed. Zhu Wen came to his senses and decided to get rid of Liu Jishu, send Li Zhen into Chang'an, and join Cui Yin and others to conspire against the eunuchs.

Liu Jishu's unauthorized abolition of the establishment has aroused public anger, and Sun Dezhao and Dong Congshi, the governors of Yanzhou, were once discovered by Wang Zhongxian for stealing treasury money and humiliated them, so they conspired to punish the eunuchs. Cui Yin knew that they had an enmity with the eunuchs, and secretly advised them: "If you punish the eunuchs, you will welcome the emperor again, and the public will be the heroes of the world." The two of them were overjoyed, and they contacted Zhou Chengyu, Dong Yanbi and others again, and attacked Wang Zhongxian with their headquarters first. At this time, Wang Zhongxian was preparing to enter the court, and everyone rushed out, killed Wang Zhongxian, and then came to Shaoyang Courtyard and robbed Li Ye. Li Ye was afraid of fraud and didn't dare to come out, and everyone threw Wang Zhongxian's head into the courtyard, and Li Ye was overjoyed. (To be continued......)
