Zhu Wen led the elite Bianjun out of the city, and the heavens were also more biased towards Zhu Wen, and the fog spread across the sky on this day. Zhu Wen was overjoyed and galloped into the Cai army's village, although at this time Cai Jun found the Bianjun, but it was too late, and the Bianjun tiger walked through the flock, the Cai army was defeated, and most of the people, including Lu Jin, had no way to go, and drowned in the water. After Zhu Wen returned to the city, he rewarded the soldiers and gained a lot of money, so the Bianjun army "was angry and brave." "When a strong man joins the army, he just hopes that Bo will become rich, Zhu Wen is so stingy, and the soldiers are naturally willing to die for Zhu Wen.

After these two fiascos, Cai Jun knew how powerful Zhu Wen was, and although the other Cai Jun came to Bianzhou again, they did not dare to separate the camp again, and coaxed them to Zhang Xi's camp to make a horizontal shape, and it was safer to nest together.

These strongmen are very smart, and it is true, if they go to the village, then the advantage of Cai Jun in numbers will not be visible, and it is easy to be broken by Zhu Wen one by one. Now that they are gathered as an army, they are not afraid of Zhu San's sneak attack again. It's a pity that they underestimate Zhu Wen too much, not only will the Bianjun sneak attack, but the positional battle is not ambiguous, and there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, which is indeed the truth.

In May, Zhu Wen led the army out of the sour jujube gate again, and no longer played sneak attacks, but nothing more than three things, so that they could see the positional combat capability of the Bianjun army. This battle was fought very tragically, from morning to night, the Bianjun roared and killed, Zhu Wen immediately drank the battle, the Cai army could not resist, and was chased by Zhu Wen for more than 20 miles before he had a chance to breathe.

Qin Zongquan even got a defeat report, and his angry face was deformed: "Thief of the pot!" Dare to deceive me like this! At this time, Qin Zongquan was resting in Zhengzhou, and he didn't bring many people, so he brought a few generals directly into Zhang Xi's camp, ready to play with Zhu Wen, even so. The Cai army under the city of Bianzhou also had almost 150,000.

No matter how capable Zhu Wen is, there are too few troops. Knowing that Qin Zongquan was going to jump over the wall in a hurry, he quickly adjusted the state army to come. But compared with Cai Jun, it still does not have an advantage. At this time, Zhu Wen thought of his neighbor Zhu Xuan, Zhu Xuan dominated the Tianping Army, his strength was strong, and he was in a hurry. There is no need for Zhu Wen to say more, Zhu Xuan is here to help, if Qin Zongquan destroys Zhu Wen, he Zhu Xuan will not be able to run away, and his lips will be cold. How can you not save it? What's more, they are still "the same sect", Zhu Wen calls them brothers, and they must come.

Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin, the brother of Lu Wenhou, each led the elite Yan and Yun troops to Bianzhou, plus the reinforcements from Huazhou, which was enough to deal with Qin Zongquan, Zhu Xuantun's troops Jingrong Town, and Zhu Jin's troops Fengchan Temple. Cai Jun was already frightened by Zhu Wen, and when he saw the arrival of reinforcements from all walks of life, the banner armor was very bright. More afraid, afraid to come out. Zhu Wen didn't want to be consumed with Qin Zongquan like this, so he took the initiative to attack and kill a way out.

This day. Zhu Wen and the Yan and Yun armies joined forces to go out of the city, this was a decisive battle, and the Bianyan armies were born. To retreat is to die, when a person is driven to the edge of a cliff. It often erupts with terrifying power, and it is a death anyway. It's better to survive in danger.

The coalition forces attacked the Cai army's villages, the arrows flew like rain, and when the swords and soldiers struck each other, the sparks burst out, the heads were rolling, and the miserable sound was repeated. The coalition army was red-eyed, there was no advance or retreat, Cai's spirit had collapsed, and he had no intention of fighting again, and when he fought until the evening, Cai's army was completely defeated, Qin Zongquan and others fled in a hurry, and the coalition army had been chasing for dozens of miles before collecting troops. The allied army won a complete victory, collecting countless cattle and horses, armor, and baggage, and Zhu Wen made a ruthless move. With this victory, Zhu Wen's living environment was greatly improved, while Qin's power was weakened day by day, and he was unable to launch large-scale wars. And the Cai Jun troops who were still robbing in Henan heard that their master had been defeated, and this time they were very good at teaching Zhu Wen, so they didn't dare to provoke Zhu Wen and abandoned the city and fled.

Zhu Wen was very grateful to Zhu Xuan for his charcoal in the snow, highly affirmed Zhu Xuan's vigorous promotion of the "Lei Feng Spirit", and generously rewarded Yanyun Zhujun. The Zhu brothers earned a vote, swept away the hidden dangers in the future, and returned happily.

Zhu Wen sacrificed his life to win the victory in the key battle, and from then on, Yangguan Avenue let Zhu Wen gallop. Zhu Wen carried out rectification in the territory, eliminated weak soldiers and mediocre talents, repaired war preparations, and appeased the exiled people. For a time, most of the displaced people from all over the world gathered in Bianzheng, and with the population, agricultural production could be guaranteed, and Zhu Wen's family background was naturally rich.

Of course, Zhu Wen's current strength is not very strong, and none of the surrounding tigers and wolves can easily be eaten, so he can only secretly gather lessons and slowly increase his strength. Among Zhu Wen's neighbors, the most arrogant and domineering is naturally Li Keyong from Hedong, Li Keyong has not been very honest in recent years, and often touches around Hebei, but he has not touched any big fish. Li Congwei in Youzhou, Wang Chucun in Dingzhou, and Wang Rong in Zhenzhou are also covered in thorns.

And Zhu Wen's uncle and Hezhong Jiedu made Wang Chongshi's strength not weak, and with two large salt ponds, his life was quite nourishing. However, Wang Chongrong is harsh by nature, and his usage is very strict, and most of his subordinates are separated from Wang Chongrong. In the middle of the river, the general Chang Xingru was insulted by Wang Chongrong for no reason, and he had a grudge against him, and he was ready to attack Wang Chongrong.

In June of the third year of Tang Guangqi (887 AD), Chang Xingru led his troops to make a rebellion in the river and invaded Wang Chongrong's mansion. Wang Chongrong was horrified when he saw this, and desperately escaped from the city, but unfortunately he was unlucky, and was caught up by Chang Xingru, hacked to death, and then promoted Wang Chongrong's younger brother Wang Chongying as the envoy of the river festival. Wang Chongying knew that Chang Xingru could kill his brother, so he might not dare to kill him. Soon after his establishment, Wang Chongying killed Chang Xingru and his henchmen.

I don't know if Zhu Wen recognizes Wang Chongying as his goduncle, of course, these are all false, and their respective interests are real. However, Zhu Wen's Xuanwu army and Wang Chongying's Hezhong army did not have a boundary, and there were Li Hanzhi in Heyang (now Mengxian County, Henan) and Zhang Quanyi in the eastern capital Luoyang in the middle, so they had nothing to do with each other for the time being.

Zhang Quanyi is a very special figure in the history of the Five Dynasties, Zhang Quanyi's reputation is very stinky, and he is not disgusted with Feng Dao, the late "Confucius who rides on the wall", and he is also a slippery head who is "as good as he can be". Later, Zhu Wen raped all Zhang Quanyi's wives and daughters, and Zhang Quanyi talked and laughed as usual. After Zhu Liang was eliminated by Li Cunmiao, Zhang Quanyi became Li Cunmiao's horse boy again, and even became the stepfather of Li Cunmiao's queen Liu.

It is not wrong to say that Zhang Quanyi is incorruptible and shameless, but Zhang Quanyi's "shamelessness" cannot negate Zhang Quanyi's special contribution to the restoration of the social economy. Since Sun Ru burned and looted Luoyang, this thousand-year-old capital has almost turned into ashes, "the city is ruined, and the households are less than 100". Since Zhang Quanyi guarded Luoyang, in order to restore Luoyang's economy, two new cities in the south and north were built on the basis of the old city. Summoning the dead and exempting them from taxes. The people returned like carp across the river, and about 50,000 or 60,000 displaced families came.

Zhang Quanyi "overcame thorns, persuaded farming, bowed to wine and food, and worked between the people." "In a few years. Luoyang's economy has improved greatly, and the people of Luoyang praised Zhang Quanyi: "Zhang Gong doesn't like to play tricks, he doesn't laugh when he sees it, and he laughs when he sees Jiamai Liang Cocoon." "Zhang Quanyi loves the people and agriculture so much, and after a thousand years, it still makes people's hearts move.

Zhu Wen hasn't thought much about Luoyang for the time being, and it's not the right time, after all, Qin Zongquan is still alive. However, Zhu Wen had Zhu Xuan's support this time, and he was also a little relieved. It's a big deal to ask Zhu Xuan to come over and help. But Zhu Wen was thinking about good things, but found that Zhu Xuan was digging the foot of his wall.

Zhu Xuan is actually not a good bird, when he saw that the combat effectiveness of the Bianjun army was very strong, he was disgusted. In August of the third year of Tang Guangqi (887 AD), Zhu Xuan sent his henchmen to Zhu Wen's army to rebel. Zhu Xuan's tricks of rebellion are really amazing, he put a lot of silver at the junction with Zhu Wen's territory, and let the Bianjun brothers take it themselves, who doesn't see the money? Zhu Wen's brothers rushed to "get their wages." Zhu Wen was very unhappy, but Zhu Xuan helped him anyway. wrote a letter accusing Zhu Xuan. Who knew that Zhu Xuan didn't pay attention to Zhu Wen at all, and was still paying his salary.

Zhu Wen couldn't bear it anymore, and sent the general Zhu Zhen to beat Zhu Xuan, and Zhu Zhen also gave Zhu Wen a fight. Within a few days, Caozhou was taken. Zhu Wen was unforgiving, and brought it back to Puzhou, and Zhu Xuan's brothers were beaten and couldn't find the north. In all fairness. Although if Zhu Wen and Zhu Xuan's positions are reversed, Zhu Wen can't guarantee that he won't do such a lack of morality. But in this case. It was obviously Zhu Xuan's fault, although he had helped Zhu Wen. But Zhu Wen has already thanked him, and there is no reason to stab Zhu Wen in the back.

The situation in the Central Plains was relatively stable at this time, and His Majesty Qin Zongquan, the Emperor of Dacai, was scolding Zhu Xuangou for taking rats, and he didn't have time to make trouble again. At this time, the situation in Huainan was extremely chaotic, Mr. Gao Yu, who was riding a wooden crane to become an immortal, had been killed by Bi Shiduo and others, and Yang Xingmi, the assassin of Luzhou, and Bi Shiduo and others were strangled together. Tang Xizong Li Yi had a very good impression of Zhu Wen, and when he saw that Huainan was in chaos like this, he appointed Zhu Wen to lead the Huainan Festival envoy and appointed him as the envoy to the southeast. Although this is just an empty festival, it is of great political significance, and in the future, Zhu Wen can justifiably conquer Huainan under the banner of the imperial court, Zhu Wen smiled from ear to ear.

In February of the fourth year of Tang Guangqi (888 AD), Li Yi returned to Chang'an from Fengxiang and changed the fourth year of Guangqi to the first year of Wende. Soon after, Wei Bojun had a big turmoil, and Wei Bojun made Le Yanzhen's baby son Le Congxun a private outlaw to be a pro-army, and Wei Bo's soldiers were very angry and wanted to ask Le Yanzhen for an explanation. Le Yanzhen had no military power, so he had to go to Longxing Temple to be a monk. General Wei Boya then pushed Luo Hongxin as the commander of the army, and Le Congxun fled with his army to Neihuang (now Neihuang, Henan) and could not be defended.

No matter how messy Wei Bo is, Li Yi, who is far away in Chang'an, can't control it. Since Li Yi has lost the hateful old eunuch by his side, he has lived at ease in the past two years, and Li Yi feels that he is still young, and there are still many good days in the future. It's just that no one thought that his life was about to come to an end.

In March of the first year of Tang Wende (888 AD), Li Yizong, a faint monarch who was famous for playing polo, died in the Wude Hall of Chang'an at the age of 27. Li Yi was a very "hard-working" emperor, and he didn't enjoy a few days of peace, and was chased back and forth by Huangchao.

Regarding Li Yi's historical responsibility, historians from all sides have different opinions, and the Song people He Qufei thinks: "The death of the Tang Dynasty does not care about the world of Xuan and Zhao, but about the treasure of heaven." The one who rules the world with his mourning is also. And Wang Fuzhi put the responsibility for the demise of the Tang Dynasty on Xuanzong Li Chen, Yizong Li Yi and Yizong Li Yi: "Tang since Xuanzong forgot the world's great compassion with small investigations, Yi and Xuan followed with obscenity, and the people's grievances arose, and those who died in the Tang Dynasty were not traitors, but also rebels." ”

In fact, what the two said was the same thing, that is, the central government of the Tang Dynasty lost the "right to rule the world" after the Anshi Rebellion, so the rule collapsed. However, in terms of specific historical responsibility, Yizong and Xizong are difficult to resign the crime of the Tang Dynasty's demise, in contrast, the later Tang Zhaozong Li Ye is more worthy of the sympathy of future generations. "What Li Ye inherited was an empire on the verge of collapse, just like a building that was about to collapse, it was difficult to support it alone, and everything was irretrievable.

And Li Yi's former "godfather" Tian Lingzi was in Chengdu at this time and his brother Xichuan Jiedu envoy Chen Jingxuan was running their own "business". After Tang Zhaozong Li Ye succeeded to the throne, he had the intention to revive the Tang Dynasty, but seeing that the situation had reached the point where it was out of control, even if he had great ability, he could only be his "Chang'an Emperor" behind closed doors.

Zhu Wen in Bianzhou City originally planned to conquer Qin Zongquan in the south, but at this time, he suddenly received a letter from Le Congxun who was in a hurry: "Uncle Zhu, save me!" Zhu Wen was overjoyed, and immediately changed his combat strategy, sent Li Tangbin to lead the horse infantry army to attack Qin Zongquan, and sent Zhu Zhen to quickly rescue Le Cong for training. Zhu Zhen hurriedly entered Neihuang, but Luo Hongxin was quick with his hands and feet, and broke through Neihuang before Zhu Zhen arrived and killed Le Congxun. Zhu Zhen originally came to fish in the mixed waters, since this fish is dead, let's touch another one.

The Wei army and the Bian's army fought at Linhuang (now south of Fanxian County, Henan), and the Wei army was defeated, and the Leopard Army, known as Wei Bo's elite, was completely annihilated by the Bian's army. The Bianjun took advantage of the victory to go down to the important towns of Liyang (now Jun County, Henan) and Linhe (northwest of Jun County) in Hejin, and obtained Liyang, and Zhu Wen was equivalent to getting a springboard to Hebei.

The chaos of Wei Bojun is not over, and Heyang is in chaos again. At the beginning, Li Hanzhi and Zhang Quanyi worked together to find a piece of land, and the relationship between the two was very good. After Li Hanzhi achieved his ambition, he had no way to govern the army and the people, was insatiable, and was unpopular. Li Hanzhi saw that Zhang Quanyi was diligent and thrifty and loved the people, and scolded Zhang Quanyi: "It's really the villager's doing!" ”

Li Hanzhi often stretched out his hand to Zhang Quanyi to ask for money and food, and Zhang Quanyi gave whatever he wanted except for his head and wife and daughter. Li Hanzhi felt that Zhang Quanyi was alive, and he didn't take him to heart. Because Heyang's territory is too small and not enough to toss, Li Hanzhi fell in love with Hezhong Jiedu to make Wang Chongying. In April of the first year of Tang Wende (888 AD), Li Hanzhi sent all the troops of Heyang to attack Hezhong.

As the saying goes: A dog that doesn't bark bites people the hardest, Li Hanzhi doesn't take Zhang Quanyi as a character, Zhang Quanyi has long waited for the opportunity to attack him. Wang Chongying asked Zhang Quanyi for help, and Zhang Quanyi was naturally happy to help. Led the troops to attack Ha Duong. Li Hanzhi was shocked, he didn't expect Zhang Quanyi to play so hard, so he had to flee to Taiyuan alone, and hundreds of Li Han's family became Zhang Quanyi's hostages. (To be continued......)
