The war began, and Zhu Zhen and Ge Congzhou captured Caozhou and executed Shi Qiu Hongli. attacked Puzhou again, Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin were defeated again, and they were only spared.

Zhu Xuan sent his younger brother Zhu Han to rescue Puzhou, but was killed by Zhu Zhen again. Zhu Zhen captured Puzhou, and Zhu Yu fled to Yunzhou.

Zhu Zhen attacked Yunzhou again. Zhu Xuan asked Zhu Yu to bring a letter to Zhu Zhen and said: Don't fight, you can't bear it, we surrender.

A series of victories made Zhu Zhen believe that Zhu Xuan was indeed frightened, so he led the army into Yunzhou with a swagger, and suddenly the sound of killing was everywhere, Zhu Zhen's army suffered heavy casualties, and had to withdraw the army, and Zhu Xuan then recovered Caozhou.

The enemy of our enemies is our friends. Adhering to this principle, Zhu Xuan formed an alliance with Zhu Wen's great enemy, Hedong Jiedu, and Li Keyong.

In 891, Li Ke used the Xingzhou Jiedu of the Discovery Department to make An Zhijian secretly communicate with Zhu Wen, and wanted to replace him with his adopted son Li Cunxiao. An Zhijian was frightened and fled to Pinglu. Tang Zhaozong appointed An Zhijian as the commander of the Shenwu army.

When An Zhijian led the army to Chang'an to take office, he killed Zhu Xuan halfway, ambushed him, and dedicated his head to Li Keyong.

In 892, Zhu Wen attacked Zhu Xuan again and took his son Zhu Youyu as the vanguard. This time, Zhu Youyu cheated his father and fought a big defeat, which is also forgotten, and he didn't inform him of Lao Tzu after the defeat.

After Zhu Wen arrived, he didn't know that Zhu Youyu had been defeated, so he led his army into the camp, but he was ambushed, and the Xuanwu army was defeated by Zhu Xuan, who suddenly killed him. Zhu Wen was defeated and fled, and Li Fan, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, was killed.

In 893, Ge Congzhou attacked Qizhou, and Erzhu rescued Shi Zhuwei and was defeated by Zhu Wen. More than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Tianping and Taining were killed.

The two had to ask Li Keyong for help, and Li Keyong sent three brothers, An Fushun, An Fuqing, and An Fuqian, to lead cavalry to help.

Year 895. Zhu Wen's adopted son, Zhu Yougong, besieged Yanzhou, and Zhu Xuan came to the rescue. was ambushed by Zhu Yougong, and An Fushun and An Fuqing were captured. Zhu Wen defeated Zhu Xuan again, and Zhu Xuan retreated to Yunzhou.

In the same year, Zhu Xuan again tried to relieve the siege of Yanzhou, and sent his generals He Gui, Liu Cun and Li Ke to attack Caozhou, which had been captured by Zhu Wen.

When Zhu Wen heard the news, he ambushed him again, and the Tianping army was defeated, He Gui, Liu Cun, and He Huaibao were captured, and more than 3,000 people were captured together.

In the afternoon of the same day. The wind was blowing and the sand and dust were rolling, and Zhu Wen said that it was because there were not enough people killed, so he ordered all the captives to be killed, and when all the people were killed, the wind stopped.

Zhu Wen showed the three of them to Zhu Jin and said, "Your cousin has already been defeated, why don't you surrender?" Zhu Jin agreed to surrender, but made conditions. It was to meet Zhu Qiong, another cousin who had surrendered to Zhu Wen before, and said that as long as he saw it, he would offer the soldier talisman with both hands.

Zhu Wen thought to himself, anyway, I am seeing your cousin, not my cousin. So I agreed. When Zhu Qiong was about to enter the city, Zhu Jin ambushed him and threw his head out.

The morale of the Zhu Wen army was damaged. So the troops withdrew. Due to the constant fighting, the people could not cultivate their crops. The treasury of the two towns was depleted.

Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin asked Li Keyong for help again, and Li Keyong sent his subordinates Shi Yan and Li Chengsi to help. and borrowed from Luo Hongxin, the envoy of Wei Bo Jie at the time.

In 896, Li Keyong once again transfused blood to Erzhu through Wei Bo, but Li Cunxin, the adopted son who led the army, plundered Wei Bo Township, provoked Luo Hongxin, and was driven away by Luo Hongxin. When Li Ke angrily sought revenge on Luo Hongxin, he was defeated by the combined forces of Luo Hongxin and Zhu Wen. Hedong's military aid was cut off, Li Keyong could not send more reinforcements, and the days of Tianping and Taining were even worse.

In 897, Ge Congzhou and Pang Shigu again besieged Yunzhou. Zhu Xuan ran out of food and dug a moat outside the city to avoid a head-on battle with Zhu Wen.

As a result, Pang Shigu took advantage of the night to build a pontoon bridge and capture the city, and Zhu Xuan was forced to flee. When he fled to Zhongdu, he hid in the villagers' homes, was betrayed by the villagers, and after being taken to Kaifeng, he was executed by Zhu Wen.

At this time, Zhu Wen heard that Zhu Jin was collecting grain outside, leaving only Kang Huaiying to guard Yanzhou, so he sent a large army to attack Yanzhou, Kang Huaiying was defeated and surrendered to Zhu Wen. Zhu Jin was helpless and defected to Huainan Jiedu to make Yang Xingmi.

In September of that year, Zhu Wen took the hot iron and divided his troops into two routes to conquer Huainan, one led by Pang Shigu went straight to Qingkou, and the other led by Ge Congzhou went to Anfeng. Pang Shigu is cautious in doing things, commonly known as a tendon, and has always believed in the criterion: the boss's opinion is my opinion, what the boss said must be correct, and the boss has no instructions, I will resolutely not act.

Your sister, you're a robot! Pang Shigu said that the boss said that I am and I am. Of course, if you use this trick to serve Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen will definitely not kill him, but if Zhu Wen doesn't kill him, it doesn't mean that he won't die.

Pang Shigu stationed the army in Qingkou, the local terrain is low-lying, someone suggested that he build a tall fence, Pang Shigu said, no, no, the boss didn't say that. The Huainan people planned to break the embankment to flood the Seventh Army, but his men reminded him that the enemy was about to break the river, and the water upstream was about to arrive.

Pang Shigu was very angry, this was shaking the heart of the army, the boss said that the person who shook the heart of the army must be killed, so this person was killed. It didn't take long for the flood to come, and Pang Shigu's men were not shrimp soldiers and crab generals, so they couldn't fight in the water, so they were defeated and killed.

Ge Congzhou heard that Pang Shigu was dead, and he also withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, and Zhu Wen's plan to refer to Huainan was thus defeated in the hands of such a loyal minister.

Zhu Jin's wife is very beautiful, Zhu Wen wanted to take her away, and his wife Zhang took Zhu Jin's wife's hand and said: "Your boss and our boss were originally brothers, and the brothers fought because of trivial matters, so that my sister fell to such a point, if Kaifeng unfortunately fell, I would also be the same fate." ”

After speaking, the two of them held hands and looked at each other with teary eyes, but they were speechless and choked. Zhu Wen was also moved by compassion, so he dispelled the idea of taking Zhu Jin's wife to be a child, sent her to marry as a nun, and later often sent food and drink.

Since then, although Taining and Tianping are still surnamed Zhu, they have changed hands.

Zhu Wen has developed, and one of the former natives has become the current local tyrant. He has today's achievements, in addition to thanking himself for working hard, he also wants to thank one person, that is, the one who once defeated him,

and accepted him, so that he would not accompany Huang Chao's uncle Wang Chongrong to capsize the boat and feed the fish, although this uncle and his mother have a brother-sister relationship that can't be beaten by eight poles.

After pacifying the Yellow Nest. Tian Lingzi stared at the Hedong Salt Pond in Wang Chongrong's hand for a long time every day, and he became pink eye when he looked at it. At this time. The country's finances are also extremely tight, and the supply of the various armies cannot be guaranteed. Tian Lingzi suggested that the imperial court assign the two salt ponds to the salt and iron envoys to supplement the supply of the army.

Of course Wang Chongrong is not happy, if you are short of money, you will beat me for money, who will I go to if I am short of money, how can there be such a reason in the world.

So Shang Song said: Let's follow the old rules, send 3,000 carts of salt to the imperial court every year, and we will digest the rest internally.

Tian Lingzi thought: What are you doing with my Lao Tian. I'm not talking to you, I'm just saying hello. So Tian Lingzi waved his pen and transferred Wang Chongrong to the envoy of Yanzhou Jiedu, replacing him with Wang Chucun, and ordered Li Ke to lead troops to assist Wang Chucun.

The world is a lot cleaner at once, Wang Chongrong, you are no longer the envoy of the Hezhong Festival, so there is nothing to do with you in the salt fields in Hedong. Who is Wang Chongrong, the ancestor who is famous for being full of intrigue and intrigues. Since your father-in-law Tian gave me this hand, then don't blame me for being unkind, so I first went to the court and impeached Tian Lingzi for leaving Fang Town.

Then he sent a letter to Li Keyong and said, "Brother Li. I'm quietly revealing a secret to you, in fact, this time I was under a secret edict. When you come, try to get rid of you. This is actually the idea of Tian Lingzi, Zhu Quanzhong, and Zhu Mei. These people are so bad. ”

The letter was accompanied by a false edict. What kind of people Tian Lingzi and Zhu Mei are, Li Keyong is not clear. But he knew that Zhu Wen, a kid with bad water in his stomach, was a complete bad person, and since Tian Lingzi and Zhu Mei were with Zhu Wen, they would definitely not be good birds. So he believed Wang Chongrong's words and asked the court to crusade against Zhu Wen and Zhu Mei.

In the end, Lao Li personally shot and defeated Zhu Mei. Zhu Mei fled to Pizhou, and Li Keyong went all the way west to force Tang Xizong to Fengxiang.

Soon, Zhu Mei hijacked the king of Xiang, Li Xuan, to usurp the throne, and the Emperor took orthodoxy as the call to win Wang Chongrong and Li Keyong to counterattack Zhu Mei, and at the same time secretly ordered Zhu Mei's beloved general Wang Xingyu, so that he led the crowd back to Chang'an to deal with Zhu Mei.

Some officials fled to the river with the king of Xiangxiang, Li Xuan, and Wang Chongrong pretended to greet him, captured and killed Li Xuan, and sent his head letter to Xingzai, so he made another great contribution.

Wang Chongrong was irritable and moody, and once insulted his generals Chang Xingru. There are two kinds of people in the world who can't be messed with, one is the literati, the other is the military general, if you provoke the literati, he will let you die and you don't know how to die, and if you provoke the general, he will beat you very simply and let you know how you died.

After being humiliated repeatedly, Chang Xingru hated him very much, and in the third year of Guangqi (887), Chang Xingru led his troops to attack his mansion at night, and Wang Chongrong escaped from the mansion and was killed the next day. The sergeants elected Wang Chongying, the elder brother who supported Wang Chongrong, and Wang Chongying killed Chang Xingru to avenge his brother. After Wang Chongying's death, Wang Ke was elected as the queen of the river.

Wang Ke is Wang Chongrong's son and Wang Chongying's son, because Wang Chongrong can't have children, and there was no hospital like Beijing Xinxing Infertility at that time, it just so happened that his eldest brother Wang Chongying's family had more children, and he didn't care about one or two less, so he passed on to him, and this person was Wang Ke.

At that time, Wang Chongying's son Wang Heng was the envoy of the Shaanzhou Jiedu, and Wang Yao was the assassin of Jiangzhou.

It's as if you've been aiming at a beautiful woman, seeing that the beauty is in a window period, and you just planned to start, but you were abducted by someone else, you will definitely be very unhappy in your heart, and you will find that rival to fight hard.

Wang Heng was fierce and brutal, and there was a person named Wang Ji at that time, who was born in a prominent family, and boasted of being upright and upright, and was a celebrity at that time.

Before Huang Chao rebelled, he was an official in Changzhou. After the rebel army captured Chang'an, it was exiled to the people. At that time, the imperial court ordered him to return to Beijing and pass through Shaanxi.

Wang Hui considered that Wang Ji would definitely be able to hold an important position in the court when he was recalled to Beijing this time, so he wanted to live like Lu Buwei, so he warmly invited Wang Ji to dinner.

Wang Ji despised Wang Heng as a human being and was unwilling to deign to accept his hospitality. During the banquet, Wang Heng said respectfully to Wang Ji: "I, Wang Heng, am a rough man, and I am fortunate to lead the Shaanxi army.

If you don't dislike me, the last clansman, I am willing to be commensurate with my uncle and nephew. After Wang Ji heard this, he was not happy in his heart, you are willing to be my nephew, and I am not willing to be your uncle, so I resolutely disagreed.

Wang Heng was furious and said: "Since you have been ordered to return to Beijing for a limited time, I will not dare to keep it, please!" After that, he ordered someone to remove the banquet and urged Wang Ji to leave the post house quickly. Before Wang Ji had eaten a few bites, he was kicked out.

Of course, that's not the worst outcome. After Wang Ji left the inn, Wang Heng secretly instructed his subordinates to follow Wang Ji, kill his family and throw him into the river when Wang Ji crossed the Yellow River, and retrieve all the luggage Wang Ji carried.

After that, Wang Heng reported to the imperial court and falsely claimed that Wang Ji had overturned and drowned when the boat overturned while crossing the Yellow River. At that time, the court was chaotic and eventful, and the matter was over. Wang Ji had a son who was thrown into a well and died for no reason when he walked to Xiangzhou on the way back to Beijing.

Seeing that the boss couldn't be done, the two were very anxious. But the strength is there, and it can't beat others. So he was impeached continuously, and wrote to Zhu Wen: "Wang Ke is not our brother, just a servant of our family, how can he inherit the family business and let us be his younger brother." ”

Wang Ke also went to the book, but he played the sad card, saying that his dead father had made great contributions to reviving the Tang family, and now not long after he died, Wang Hui and Wang Yao came to bully him, he was very sad, no, he was too sad, and hoped that the court could make decisions for him.

However, the matter of going to the book is just a formality, and he also knows that the imperial court is now a grass on the wall, and whoever has a hard fist will listen to whomever he wants, so he also invited foreign aid, and this foreign aid is Zhu Wen's old opponent Li Keyong.

Li Keyong recommended him to the imperial court, and Zhaozong agreed. When Wang Heng saw that Li Keyong was out of the horse, he thought to himself: Don't I have foreign aid, I don't have it, I don't have it, but there are many more. So Wang Xingyu, Li Maozhen, and Han Jian were invited, and the three of them also jointly wrote to recommend him. Zhaozong has no choice now, no one can afford to mess with him, since this is the case, then let's come first served.

Zhaozong wants to be on a first-come, first-served basis, others don't come with him here, go through your procedure to see you as an emperor, don't treat you as an emperor, you are nothing, it seems that if you don't give you a few teeth, you really don't know how powerful your brothers are, so the three of them led a large army to come over to meet the emperor.

Okay, let's give me a good word. However, thinking that it was useless to just bully the emperor, Li Keyong was the biggest trouble, so the three brothers joined forces to attack Hezhong. After Li Keyong heard about it, he sent troops to fight, Jiangzhou was breached, and Wang Yao's soldiers were defeated and died.

So the problem in front of Zhaozong was solved, and the post of the envoy of the festival in the river was officially awarded to the victorious side, and Wang Ke became the envoy of the festival in the name of the right. There is a saying that what you don't have will be taken away from you, and what you have will be given twice as much.

Good things come in pairs, Li Keyong simply married his daughter to Wang Ke, so Wang Ke happily held a wedding in Taiyuan as a groom, and his father-in-law sent someone to attack Wang Hui in Shaanzhou for his son-in-law. (To be continued......)
