Eliminate the Qin sect

In 883, the year after Zhu Wen surrendered, Zhu Wen was awarded the post of envoy of the Xuanwu Army. But there is an additional condition, that is, he must not take office until Chang'an is recovered.

In April of the same year, carrying forward the spirit of fighting together, the feudal towns finally drove Huangchao out of Chang'an City.

Only then did Zhu Wen take all his belongings, 500 personal soldiers, to Liangyuan to take office. Liang Yuan, that is, Daliang, is today's Kaifeng City, Henan Province. At that time, the jurisdiction of the Xuanwu Army was Bianzhou, Songzhou, Bozhou, and Yingzhou.

This year, Zhu Wen is 32 years old, he has worked hard for so many years, how many consciences he has violated, how many sins he has done, and finally he has such a place today, which is really hard-won!

However, when he looked around, the joy on his face was immediately swept away...... This family business is not easy to keep! Kaifeng City, flat on all sides, no danger to defend,

It is the land of the four wars that the soldiers say. And there is a group of jackals, tigers and leopards around, staring at this piece of fat and flowing ha. To the west is Caizhou Qin Zongquan,

Wang Chongrong in the river, Li Changfu in Fengxiang; To the northwest is Heyang Zhuge Shuang; To the north is Zhaoyi Meng Fangli, Hedong Li Keyong, east is Taining Zhu Xuan, Pinglu Wang Jingwu,

In the southeast is Xuzhou Shipu, Yangzhou Gao, Xuanshe Qinyan, and eastern Zhejiang Qian Biao...... They are all powerful, and none of them are easy to mess with. After thinking about it again and again, Zhu Wen decided to attack Qin Zongquan first. The reason is very simple, because Qin Zongquan's sword is also swinging towards him.

Qin Zongquan, a native of Henan, was originally a general in Xuzhou. In November of the first year of Guangming (880), Zhou Qi, the general of Xuzhou, expelled Xue Neng, the envoy of the Zhongwu Army, and then replaced him. The power of example is endless, especially the power of bad examples.

Qin Zongquan thought to himself: I am also a general, why can Zhou Qi be an envoy of the festival, but I can't? So they did the same. Expelled the Caizhou Assassin and occupied Caizhou.

However, if it is not authentic, it is not authentic, at least at the beginning, Qin Zongquan was an active pioneer in sweeping pornography, and after Huang Chao led the army into the customs. Qin Zongquan dealt a fierce blow to the rebel army, and was awarded the envoy of the Fengguo Army in Caizhou for his merits. In the third year of Zhonghe (883),

Huang Chao withdrew from Guanzhong and entered Henan, this time Qin Zongquan was defeated by the rebel army, so he surrendered to Huang Chao, and the former Huang Sweep pioneer himself became a Huang man.

After Huang Chao was defeated and killed, Qin Zongquan was like a wild horse on the loose, uncontrolled. His ambitions swelled dramatically, and Caizhou became the revolutionary base of his rebellion. In February of the first year of Guangqi (885),

Qin Zongquan proclaimed himself emperor in Caizhou, and divided his troops to capture more than 20 prefectures, including Shaanzhou (now west of Sanmenxia City), Luozhou (now Luoyang), Huaizhou (now Qinyang), Mengzhou (now south of Mengxian County), Tangzhou (now Tanghe), Xuzhou (now Xuchang), Ruzhou (now Linru), and Zhengzhou (now Henan).

For a time, he became the most powerful warlord in the Central Plains. However, the little Caizhou could not satisfy Qin Zongquan's appetite at all, and his goal was to be the emperor, not the emperor of Caizhou. but the emperor of the whole world. At this time, Qin Zongquan thought like this:

is also a human, Huang Chao deserves to be the emperor. I can't do it? Those who win the Central Plains will win the world, and those who will seize the world must first seize the Central Plains, and the center of the Central Plains is Kaifeng.

At this time, Zhu Wen's children were basking in the sun in Kaifeng, and Qin Zongquan said to Zhu Wen: "Friend." Let's go. Zhu Wen said very simply: "Don't let it!" ”

Qin Zongquan threatened: "If you don't let me, I will beat you." Zhu Wen said: "I don't need you to beat me, Lao Tzu has already seen you unpleasantly." "Don't speculate, it's useless to talk more, let's fight.

885 to 886. The two sides engaged in a number of skirmishes, which ended in several defeats for Qin Zongquan.

Qin Zongquan was very angry, so he mobilized all his troops and ran over to Kaifeng. Zhu Wen is small and knows that he is not an opponent,

He sent the general Zhu Zhen to the east to recruit troops, the so-called east is today's Shandong, and everyone on the earth knows that Shandong Han is a good material for soldiers. Zhu Zhen, Zhu Wen's old subordinate,

Always follow Zhu Wen's left and right, motto: I am a dog of the master, squatting at the door of the master's house. The master will bite whoever he wants, and he will bite a few bites. Zhu Wen worked hard for Huang Chao,

He worked hard for Huang Chao, Zhu Wen surrendered to the court, and he surrendered to the court. After Huang Chao withdrew from Chang'an, he went all the way to the east, and his general Shang Rang had attacked Fantai with 5,000 horses.

At that time, Zhu Wen's troops were outnumbered, and Zhu Zhen, Pang Shigu and others fought desperately to repel them. After the defeat of Huangchao, Zhu Zhen followed Zhu Wen's division into Xihua, broke through Wang Xiazhai, and bravely crowned the three armies. In the first year of Guangqi, Zhu Zhen served as the commander of all armies.

Above the generals.

This time, Zhu Zhen did not disappoint the boss, and raised 10,000 troops within ten days. Is this the standard of a good employee in Zhu Zhen's heart? Apparently not,

A good employee is not to complete the tasks assigned by the leader, but to exceed the tasks assigned by the leader. Zhu Zhen thought about it, maybe the lord was still short of horses, so he attacked Qingzhou,

Capture more than a thousand horses and a considerable amount of armor before returning home. When Zhu Wen saw it, he was crazy with joy,

It's so worry-free to send such an employee out to run errands. Juwen's forces had been strengthened, but the enemy was unaware of it. Zhu Wen launched a blitzkrieg, defeated the Qin army, and killed more than 10,000 people.

At the same time, Zhu Xuan, the envoy of Yunzhou Tianping Jiedu, and Zhu Jin, the envoy of Yanzhou Taining Jiedu, and the Yicheng army also rushed to reinforce him. During the meal, Zhu Wen said: "I'll flash for a while and go to the toilet." "And then a turn,

led the army to kill the enemy general Zhang Hui. It's too bad to play cards according to the routine, how can you rush to the scene to engage in a sneak attack when you invite others to dinner! Before he could come to his senses, Zhang Hui was killed by more than 20,000 people.

Qin Zongquan fled by night, and when he passed through Zhengzhou, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he slaughtered the city by the way. After returning to Caizhou, Qin Zongquan thought: Zhu Wen can carry out a sneak attack,

I can't? So he sent Zhang Hao to attack Kaifeng. At this time, what is Zhu Wen doing? Zhu Wen was standing on a high place and looking around, and when he saw Zhang Hui coming, he sent Zhu Zhen to meet the enemy.

and warned Zhu Zhen: "When Zhang Hui sees us, he will definitely stop, and when you see him stop, he will run back quickly." Zhu Zhen was very obedient, so she did so, and the result was as Zhu Wen expected.

This is, according to Zhu Wen's deployment, Zhu Zhen is hiding in the big woods. Zhu Wen personally led the army to ambush in the large mound at the east gate. Zhang Hui was not in a hurry, let everyone eat first, and then pursued Zhu Zhen, but was ambushed by Zhu Wen, returned defeated, and was cut off by Qin Zongquan after going back.

After this battle. Qin Zongquan's strength was greatly damaged, so he had to retreat into Caizhou City. Who is Zhu Wen? Zhu Wen is the kind of person who either doesn't do it, or does it absolutely. Since the fight has begun, then I must beat you to death,

lest thou be relieved. In the first year of Wende (888), Zhu Wen appointed himself as the commander of Caizhou's camp on all sides, and led the army to Huazhou (now Huaxian County, Henan).

It successively conquered the three towns of Liyang (now north of Huaxian County, Henan), Linhe (now Puyang, Henan), and Ligu (now northeast of Daming, Hebei), and occupied Luozhou and Mengzhou (now Mengxian County, Henan). Relieved of the worries of the West. In May, he defeated Qin Zongquan in Longpi (now Runannan, Henan),

Forced under the city of Caizhou. After months of siege, in December, Qin Zongquan was broken by his subordinate Shen Cong.

Sent to Bianzhou, later Shen Cong was killed by Guo Fan, who himself took Qin Zongquan to the capital to offer prisoners. In this way, Qin Zongquan became a veritable living treasure that was earned and robbed by everyone.

Qin Zongquan was brutal. Wherever they passed, the people were either killed or scattered.

At that time, the logistical supply of the Qin army was very difficult, and the soldiers did not eat the last meal. Qin Zongquan is not in a hurry,

Is this still a thing? Yellow Nest can eat human flesh. I just can't? So he sent his generals to go around and plunder the people.

After the killing, the corpses were salted and used as military rations. When a soldier fights, he carries a dead man on his back, and when he is hungry, he gnaws on it. Then he continued to fight with his mutilated arms and legs.

Cannibalism was a very common thing at that time, Huang Chao ate it, Qin Zongquan ate it, and other armies also ate it. When I was a child, I wrote essays on the topic of my little pig,

At the end of the article, I wrote: Pigs are full of treasures, pork can be eaten, pig skin can be used as leather shoes, and pig hair can be used as shoe brushes.

It is estimated that the warlords at that time also thought the same way: the common people are really a good thing, they have food to grab food, they can pull them to be soldiers if they don't have food, and they can catch them to eat meat if they can't be soldiers.

Troubled times, what a fucking fuck!

At the beginning of the first year of the Dragon Era (889), Qin Zongquan was escorted to Jingshi. After Zhaozong was captured, he ordered Jingzhao Yin Sun to behead him. The Duliu Tree, the place where political prisoners were executed in the Tang Dynasty, was named after the willow tree there. Qin Zongquan knelt there, waiting for the last knife of his life to be cut in the neck.

Before the execution, Qin Zongquan explained to Sun Kuo: "Lord Shangshu, do you think that I, Qin Zongquan, am a rebel?" I'm loyal to the court, but I just have nowhere to do it. ”

Qin Zongquan, it's useless for you to shout to break your throat, Qin Zongquan shouted to break your throat, broke your throat and said: "Qin Zongquan, you have eaten so much human flesh, now is the time for you to repay your debts." ”

Heyang Zhuge family

After Zhuge Shuang surrendered to Huangchao, Huangchao was still the same old-pretending to be a large sum, and he wrote a check and said: "Heyang gave it to you, take it casually." ”

Zhuge Shuang happily took the check and went straight to Heyang. Heyang Jiedu made Luo Yuangao look at it, and he was angry: Sample, you see my name as Luo Yuandu!

Uncle, my name is Luo Yuangao, you took the appointment letter of Huang Chao to take up a post in the territory of my court.

You're insulting my intelligence. Anyway, wave your hand back, children, give it to me. It's a pity that the children have already fled and surrendered.

The general trend has gone, and there is no way, Luo Yuangao had no choice but to follow the smoke and run to Sichuan to join Tang Xizong. Thinking about Tang Xizong, he was really speechless,

None of the powerful people who are serious go to Chengdu to escort him, and they are all bare-bones commanders who have no soldiers or generals, and he has to come up with money to provide for these uncles who eat rice. In this way, Zhuge Shuang took over Heyang.

A year later, Zhuge Shuang returned to the imperial court again, and the imperial court pushed the boat down the river, and still appointed him as the envoy of the Heyang Festival, what can he do if he is not appointed, it is not good, the Zhuge brothers are angry,

I can give you the reverse again. Although it came down in a circle, it was still a festival envoy, but it was finally from the northwest where birds don't to the rich Central Plains, look

It's still quite cost-effective to surrender these times, thinking of this, Zhuge smiled.

But if you don't look for trouble, things come to you, the passing years are not good, and you will be shot while lying down. The universal values at this time are:

What's yours is mine, what's mine is still mine, robbing you, you don't need a reason, and not only to grab your territory, but also to piggyback on your life. In August of the second year of Zhonghe (882), Wei Bojiedu sent Han Jian to attack Heyang. Han Jian, his father Han Junxiong has been a general in Weibo for a long time,

In 870 AD, after killing the then Jiedu envoy He Quanhao in a mutiny, he took control of Weibo and became the envoy of Weibo Jiedu. Four years later, Han Junxiong died, and the soldiers nominated Han Jian to succeed him, and the formalities went through the motions with Tang Xizong.

Han Jian became the new festival envoy.

The two sides fought in Xiuwu and lined up their troops, but Zhuge Shuang lost and abandoned the city and fled. Han Jian ordered Zhao Wenben to garrison Heyang, and he continued to go north to rob.

In the same year, Han Jian attacked Yunzhou, the capital of the Tianping Army, and Jiedu made Cao Cun die in battle. The general Zhu Xuan took over the Tianping Army and defended Yunzhou, and Han Jian besieged the city for half a year but failed to conquer it.

In October of the same year, Zhuge Shuang took the opportunity to re-enter Heyang and entered the capital Mengzhou. Wei Bo's defenders were shocked, but Zhuge Shuang was very polite: "Hello everyone, I'm Hu Hansan back again, oh, no, I'm Zhuge Shuang back again, but please rest assured, my policy is to exchange silver for weapons, and you can take the silver and leave after the exchange." ”

When the soldiers heard that there was such a good thing, they laid down their weapons one after another, and took the silver and flashed people.

At this time, Han Jian was still busy making dumplings for Zhu Xuan in Yunzhou City, and he couldn't be separated for a while. Zhu Xuan gave him a step and begged him for peace, Han Jian went down the steps, and then withdrew his troops from Tianping, and Zhu Xuan occupied Yunzhou from then on.

Zhuge Shuang sent Li Hanzhi to intercept Han Jian in Wuzhi and defeated him. After this battle, Han Jian's troops returned Le Yanzhen to Weizhou, the capital of Weibo, and the soldiers supported Le Yanzhen to take over Weibo, and from then on, Le Yanzhen became Weibo's leader.

The end of this matter is that Han Jian died, some people say that he was angry to death, and some people say that he was killed by his generals, no matter what, he died in the end. Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, and in the end you lose your little life, and the hateful person must have pity.

After this incident, Zhuge Shuang cared more about his own three-third of an acre, guarding his Heyang every day like a protecting a puppy, and posing as if anyone dared to touch my Heyang, I would bite whom.

Usually, as long as others look at Heyang, he is so scared that he can't sleep for three days. Although the family is poor, it is his own, and if he leaves this home, he can only send people to watch people's faces under the fence.

In the spring of the fourth year of Zhonghe (884), Hedong Jiedu made Li Keyong borrow from him, Zhuge Shuang refused on the grounds that the bridge near Luoyang had not yet been repaired, and by the way, he also sent a large army to keep an eye on Li Keyong. In the end, Li Keyong could only be diverted to the river.

In the winter of the second year of Guangqi (886), Zhuge Shuang died of illness in the army, in the era of warlord melee, he was not killed by others, he was not hacked by his own people, and he could die a righteous life, which can be regarded as the blessing of his ancestors, and it is time to burn high incense.

After Zhuge Shuang's death, the generals Liu Jing, Zhang Quanyi, and Li Hanzhi pushed their son Zhuge Zhongfang as the queen.

Zhang Quanyi, whose name is Guowei, is a native of Juancheng, Shandong Province.

The first famous words, and then the common words. After the Tang Dynasty, Tang Zhaozong gave the name Quanyi. (To be continued......)
