Chapter 46 [Great Liang Empire]

After Wang Rong killed Li Honggui and Li Ai, he let his son Wang Zhaozuo take power. Wang Zhaozuo was proud and complacent, stubborn and self-serving, and after he grasped the power, he beheaded the entire family of the soldiers who were attached to Li Honggui in the past.

The 500 soldiers of Li Honggui's army were about to escape, and they gathered together crying and whispering, not knowing where to go.

Just in time for the reward troops, Wang Rong hated his pro-army for killing Shi Ximeng, so he did not give it to them, and the soldiers were even more afraid. Taibao Wang Deming usually had different intentions, and planned to take the opportunity to start an incident at this time.

Wang Langming, formerly known as Zhang Wenli, Wang Rong's adopted son, was originally Liu Rengong's general, and he was insidious and cunning. When Liu Shouwen went to Cangzhou to serve as the envoy of the Yichang Festival, Zhang Wenli was his partial general, and when Liu Shouwen returned to Youzhou to pay homage to his father, Zhang Wenli rebelled according to the city, and fled to Zhenzhou to join Wang Rong after failure.

Zhang Wenli likes to talk big and blow your skin, claiming to be very good at fighting, Wang Rong thought he was very peculiar, so he adopted him as an adopted son and renamed Wang Deming. After the Battle of Baixiang, Zhang Wenli led his troops to fight with Li Cunqiao all the year round.

Zhang Wenli did not know the book, nor did he know the art of war, when Yang Shihou was in Weizhou, he led 30,000 Zhao soldiers to raid Jing and Zong at night, invaded Bei County, and went to Tangdian, Yang Shihou ambushed the soldiers, Zhang Wenli's whole army was annihilated, and he himself escaped on a single horse.

Zhang Wenli saw that Wang Rong ignored political affairs and had the idea of plotting against him, but Wang Rong did not notice it, but he was more fond of Zhang Wenli, so he sent the commander Fu Xi to replace him and let him come back as the envoy of the city defense.

Zhang Wenli said to the soldiers: "King Zhao ordered me to kill all of you.

I think you are not guilty but you are killed, I want to obey the orders of King Zhao but I can't bear to kill you, I don't kill you and I offend King Zhao again, what should I do? Everyone was moved to tears.

That night, some of Wang Rong's own army lived at the west gate of Tancheng, and they drank together. Plot with each other.

When he was happy, someone said, "We understand very well what Wang Taibao means, and tonight we can let everyone enjoy the wealth together." ”

After saying that, they climbed over the city wall and entered the city, and at this time Wang Rong was burning incense and accepting the Taoist Lord Tianzun Charm. So the two men killed Wang Rong and burned his palace.

Military Academy Zhang Youshun led the soldiers to Zhang Wenli's residence. After asking him to be promoted to stay, Zhang Wenli killed all the Wang family, leaving only Wang Zhaozuo's wife, Princess Puning, to support himself in the Liang Dynasty.

Zhang Wenli sent an envoy to inform Li Cunmiao that Zhaozhou was in turmoil, and wrote to Li Cunmiao to persuade him to become emperor, asking Li Cunmiao to grant him a talisman and an axe.

At that time, Li Cunmiao was drinking and having fun, and when he heard this, he threw away his wine glass and cried bitterly, preparing to go to crusade against Zhang Wenli.

The ministers on the left and right thought that Zhang Wenli's sin was indeed very great. However, now that they are fighting against Hou Liang, they can no longer make enemies in the vicinity, and should agree to his request to pacify them.

Li Cunmiao had no choice but to send the judge Lu Zhen to uphold his will in April and confer Zhang Wenli as the queen of Chengde.

Although Zhang Wenli accepted Li Cunmiao's appointment, he was very unsure, so he sent a secret envoy to ask for help from the Khitan through Lu Wenjin, and at the same time told Liang Chao: "The Wang family was killed by enemy soldiers, but the princess is very safe."

I have invited the Khitan to the north. Now ask the imperial court to send 10,000 elites to help cross the Yellow River from Dezhou and Dizhou. In this way, there will be no gap for the Jin people to escape. ”

Emperor Hou Liang hesitated, and Jing Xiang said: "If Your Majesty does not take this opportunity to recover the north of the Yellow River, then it will be difficult for the Jin people to be attacked again." Obey their requests, and don't miss the opportunity! ”

Zhao Yan, Zhang Hanjie and others all said: "Now the powerful enemy is very close to us, right on the edge of the Yellow River, and use all our forces to resist them." I'm afraid that I can't support it, where can I send more than 10,000 soldiers to rescue Zhang Wenli!

Besides, Zhang Wenli stepped on two boats and planned to consolidate himself with this, what good would it do us to? So Emperor Liang stopped rescuing Zhang Wenli.

The Jin people had repeatedly captured Zhang Wenli on the border and sent secret letters to the Khitan and Liang dynasties, and Li Cunqiao sent envoys to Zhang Wenli back each time. Zhang Wenli felt ashamed and afraid.

Zhang Wenli was very jealous of Wang Rong's original generals, so he brutally killed them. At that time, Fu Xi was leading more than 10,000 Zhao soldiers to follow Li Cunmiao to fight in Desheng, Zhang Wenli asked Li Cunmiao to recall Fu Xi and replace him with other generals, and use Fu Xi's son Fu Meng to join the army as the governor's mansion.

After Fu Xi saw Li Cunmiao, he cried and begged to stay, Li Cunmiao said; "King Zhao and I once made an alliance to fight the enemy together, and the love and righteousness are like flesh and blood, but I was really sad that a disaster happened all of a sudden.

If you have not forgotten the monarch of the past, can you avenge him? I will provide you with soldiers and food. Fu Xi and more than 30 generals knelt on the ground together and cried and said, "King Zhao handed me the sword of Fu Xi and others, let us destroy the enemy."

Since the turmoil, there is nowhere to complain about the deep grievances, and I wanted to kill myself with a sword, but I thought that this would not do the dead people any good.

Now that the king misses the kindness of King Zhao to you and promises to avenge him, we dare not trouble the soldiers of the Zun Mansion, and are willing to lead our subordinates to take revenge, in order to repay the kindness of the Wang family to us for generations, even if we die, there is nothing to regret. ”

On the seventh day of the eighth month, Li Cunqiao appointed Fu Xi as Chengdeliu, and ordered Tianping Jiedu to envoy Yan Bao and Xiangzhou Assassin Shi Jianjiao to lead troops to help him, and marched north from Xingzhou and Xiangzhou.

On the 11th, the Jin army captured Zhaozhou, Zhaozhou assassin Shi Wang Ling surrendered, Zhang Wenli originally had a poisonous sore on his stomach, and now after hearing about it, he died of horror.

Zhang Wenli's son Zhang Chujin did not mourn secretly, and planned with his comrade Han Zhengshi to resist the Jin army.

In September, the Jin army crossed the Hutuo River, surrounded Zhenzhou, dug up the Cao Canal, flooded Zhenzhou with water, and captured Zhang Youshun, the assassin of Shenzhou. On the tenth day of the first month, Shi Jianjiao was hit by a stray arrow and died.

After Wang Rong killed Li Honggui and Li Ai, he let his son Wang Zhaozuo take power. Wang Zhaozuo was proud and complacent, stubborn and self-serving, and after he grasped the power, he beheaded the entire family of the soldiers who were attached to Li Honggui in the past.

After saying this, they climbed over the city wall and entered the city, where Wang Rong was burning incense. Accept the Taoist Lord Heavenly Venerable Talisman. So the two men killed Wang Rong and burned his palace.

Emperor

In 921, the king of Shu and the king of Wu wrote many times to persuade Li Cunmiao to be the emperor, and Li Cunmiao let his subordinates read these letters, and said very seriously: "In the past, Wang Taishi also wrote to the first king, persuading that the Tang family is dead and should be called emperor himself." The first king said to me, 'When the Son of Heaven inspected the stone gate (inspection is actually another name for escape),

I sent troops to exterminate the rebellious ministers and thieves, at that time, the world was violated, if I held the Son of Heaven hostage at that time, occupied Guanzhong, and drafted a proclamation to confer the seal of Jiuxi and Chan Rang, who could forbid me? but

It is my family's loyalty for generations, and I often make meritorious contributions to the court, and I swear that I will not do so. In the future, you should wholeheartedly restore the Tang Dynasty and do not follow the example of these people. ’

The words of the former kings are still in my ears, and I dare not listen to your advice. After saying that, I cried a mess.

In fact, who is not happy to be an emperor, but the superficial work still has to be done. It's like someone else gives you a gift, you always have to pretend to excuse it, and then you can pretend to be very embarrassed to accept it, although it is very fake, but this is a conventional thing, even if everyone knows it, at least you can pass this level yourself.

Li Cunqiao thought of this layer, and others also thought of it. So soon after, the second wave of persuasion swept again, this time the main body was Li Cunqing's left and right generals and the officials of the feudal town. Li Cunqiao was moved, so he asked the relevant departments to buy jade to make heirloom jade seals.

But I don't know if it's intentional or God's help, at this time, the real heirloom jade seal suddenly came out.

Weizhou people faxed over to offer treasure, saying that when Huangchao broke through Chang'an, his master got the jade seal of the country, treasured it for more than 40 years, he thought it was just an ordinary jade, and was about to sell it, and someone happened to recognize the treasure jade and said that this was the jade seal of the country, so he brought the treasure.

Li Cunmiao's generals all celebrated, saying that it seems that King Jin is really the true son of heaven, so even God came to help at the critical moment. (To be continued......)
