The Gao Yu who persecuted Lin Chong in "Water Margin" likes Keju very much. "Hanshu Mei Cheng Biography" said that he kicked it with his feet; Ju is made of leather, and the inside is filled with things. It's not much different from football now.

Flee to Chengdu

Tang Xizong fled all the way, and only when he came out of a narrow valley did he take a breath. Asked where this was, a few frightened guys replied, Luo Gu. Luogu is located in Zhouzhi County, about 200 miles west of Chang'an, and is an important passage between Guanzhong and Hanzhong. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhonghui entered Shu from Luogu and Xiegu. Two hundred miles further west, the story of "cultivating the secret road in the open and cultivating the secret road in the dark" took place there. These birds usually don't want to, and in times of war, it's a very lively place.

Let's put aside the matter of the panicked Tang Xizong for the time being, and talk about Zheng Jin, who spoke for Gao Xiang as written earlier. Zheng Jin, an upright man, served as the envoy of Fengxiang Festival at this time. Fengxiang is also in the west of Chang'an, about 400 miles away from Chang'an, and is close to Gansu. When Zheng Zheng learned that Xizong had left Chang'an and was going to Sichuan, he personally rushed over and asked the emperor to go to Fengxiang for the time being. Xi Zong was naturally very happy to see Zheng Jin, but when he heard what Zheng Zheng meant, his face suddenly turned pale.

The emperor considered that the northwest of Fengxiang was the sphere of influence of the Hu people, and Xizong thought that it was too close to the "giant kou" and even more unsafe, so he did not agree. The so-called Jukou refers to the two regional forces of Tibet and Hui. This is all something that arose after the hateful Anshi Rebellion. The emperor told him that they were going to Xingyuan, that is, Hanzhong, to recruit troops to restore the country, to see if they could fight back to the capital and regain the mountains and rivers. Zheng Jin knew that it was all Tian Lingzi's trick, and it was useless to say more. So the monarch and the ministers encouraged each other and parted. I can't help but feel sad and my blood pressure rises.

Xi Zong summoned Chen Jingxuan and others to convene a provisional central leadership meeting. Explain the n reasons for going to Xingyuan. If Huang Chao's power becomes stronger again, then follow Grandpa's grandfather Tang Xuanzong and go to Chengdu. As long as the head is on the neck. In the current situation where the people do not fully recognize Huang Chao, where is he still the emperor. As everyone knows, it was all the intention of the Tian Lingzi brothers, and no one objected, and it was unanimously adopted by the Provisional Central Committee Plenum.

Although the court has fallen to this point, there are still loyal ministers, and Zheng Zheng is one. Huang Chao also knew that there were only a few loyal ministers in the huge Tang Court. Now it's almost dead. Only Zheng Zhen in Fengxiang is there to raise his waist, if Zheng Zheng can be done, then the Tang Dynasty is really out of breath. Huang Chao hurriedly sent people to Fengxiang to do Zheng Zheng's work. Tell him, as long as you Lao Zheng surrenders, everything is easy to say, and pardon is not a problem. However, Zheng Zheng convened a meeting of the soldiers, and was impassioned, mobilizing the soldiers to prepare to resist. There seems to be little confidence in the future. I think it's better to wait for the situation to become clearer. Those who lean on the wall, those who watch, already have a little ninety-nine in their hearts. The imperial court regained the mountains and rivers, and they were still officials; Lao Huang can gain a foothold in Chang'an. They are also officials. Let's take a look at Cao Cao's million-strong army when he went to the south of the Yangtze River, and those people under Sun Quan were like this. Everyone has to eat and feed their families. There are eighty mothers in the capital family, and it is the same for anyone's courtiers. Zheng Zhen heard everyone say this. Very sad and anxious. I was sad for a while, my blood pressure rose sharply, I suddenly lost my strength, I fell to the ground, and I couldn't speak. Everyone hurriedly carried him to the back room to rest, called Lang Zhong, and was in a hurry.

Although Lao Zheng was not in good health for a while, there was also a prison army sent by the imperial court, and the supervisor army could be responsible for the work of the troops. The prison army also leaned on the wall grass, waited and watched, and invited the envoy of Huangchao to dinner. Everyone saw that the attitude of the prison army had changed greatly, and they knew that there was no hope for the imperial court, and the atmosphere of some trees falling and scattering suddenly did not render everyone's cries, and everyone did not feel sad from their hearts, like mourning and examining. Everyone wept bitterly, and the strong atmosphere of the death of the country spread, rising and rising, shrouded and shrouded, as if to suffocate everyone.

Zheng Ji heard a cry on the bed, opened his eyes, and his heart suddenly lit up! He knew that everyone was still interested in the imperial court and didn't want Lao Cao's to replace Lao Li's. He believes that as long as everyone's feelings for the imperial court are still there, it is no problem to exterminate Huangchao and restore the Jingshi. So he secretly called people to the bedside, and commanded them one by one. So, Feng Xiang became lively, they prepared weapons, dug deep trenches, and trained soldiers. Immediately afterwards, it united with the adjacent troops, assembled Fengxiang, and sounded the rallying call for a counterattack against Huangchao.

Huang Chao saw that Zheng Zheng did not surrender, and the prime minister Shang Rang led the troops and ordered to attack Fengxiang. Zheng Zheng resisted the Huangchao soldiers and won a great victory, exterminating more than 20,000 people, "lying in wait for dozens of miles". This failure is a psychological hint to Huang Chao.

In 881, Chen Jingxuan asked the emperor to go to Chengdu, and Tian Lingzi persuaded him. The brothers sang and harmonized, and finally brought Xizong to Chengdu.

Huang Chao was in Chang'an, and someone in Shangshu Province in the Tang Dynasty made a poem to mock Huang Chao. Prime Minister Shang Rang thought that this person should be among the provincial officials. They arrested all these people and tortured them to extract confessions, and would rather kill a thousand by mistake than spare one. These people were hung upside down from trees, gouged out their eyes, and cut off their ears. Because they couldn't find out, they wantonly arrested people who could write poems. The Tang Dynasty was a big country of poetry, and I don't know how many Li Bai, Du Fu, and Li Shangyin there were. One catch, more than three thousand. These 3,000 people were interrogated one by one, and they were tortured, but they didn't ask how many catties or taels they had. However, the Yellow Nest killed them all. Why not sweep the floor? It is a historical disaster, otherwise, the poetry of the Tang Dynasty will make the current professors ponder for a lifetime! These people usually meet friends with their writings, they are full of ink and books, they are either impassioned or depressed, and they do not expect to die in a huge literary prison. In the process of cultural inheritance, it has been smeared with a strong dark color.

Indiscriminately killing innocents will lose the hearts of the people, where can you sit on the country? In April, Huang Chao withdrew from Chang'an. When they retreated, the common people assisted the officers and soldiers, competing with bricks and tiles to chase after them. Whoever throws more bricks and tiles will be able to vent more hatred. A new regime is so hateful, I'm afraid it's too much of a failure, right?

However, how did the people of Chang'an know that the bricks and tiles that threw bricks and tiles and beat the Huang Chaobing soldiers with their hands were still warm, and the officers and soldiers who entered the city began to rob them. It's really "prosperous, the people suffer, and the people die". Drove away the jackals, and crawled with even more ferocious vipers. They snatched the palace to the brim, and then went to the people's houses to rob it. What to rob when you see it, those who are greedy for gold, silver and jade silk rob money, and when you see prostitutes and daughters-in-law robbing beautiful women. and grain, firewood, pigs, sheep, cattle and horses, chickens, ducks, dogs and rabbits. No one was spared. The chickens and dogs in Chang'an City were restless and crying. A city of chaos, full of corpses. Rivers of blood. But no one flagged them at half-mast in mourning. It seems that the banditry of the government army is no less than that of the Yellow Nest!

Huang Chao heard that the Tang soldiers were just like this, thinking that the people's hearts were towards the Great Qi regime, so he pulled the reins, turned around and attacked Chang'an again. The two armies fought fiercely inside and outside Chang'an City, and there was a river of blood, and I can't bear to describe it. Tang generals Zong Chu and Tang Hongfu were killed in battle. The sergeants of the Tang soldiers were reluctant to lose them because they had robbed too many things, and the battle was very inconvenient. There is a well-known fable. A merchant crossed the river, and when he reached the river, the boat broke. Everyone swam to the other side, but he was still floating in the river. The people on the shore told him to quickly throw away the money on him, but he asked for the money and died, and finally drowned. History has once again played the tragedy of life when it comes to asking for money and not dying. As a result, government troops were killed or wounded.

Huang Chao said, I'm sorry this time! Earlier you beat them with stones and tiles, and now you are slaughtering! Blood! Blood! "Zizhi Tongjian" records: "It is called washing the city." "It's not a wash, it's a bloodbath. The Zong Chu mentioned earlier was afraid of Feng Xiang's merit. The intelligence of Huang Chao's return to attack Chang'an was not reported to Zheng Jin, which led to a big defeat. Chang'an fell again.

At this time, Gao Biao was in Guangling, that is, Yangzhou. The emperor sent someone to ask him to send troops, and he waited and waited for changes. Unintentionally sent troops, which led to Cao Quanyang's defeat. There are more yellow nest soldiers, and mosquitoes gather swarms. The power has increased dramatically.

Here's what it looks like:

Year 879. After Wang Xianzhi's death, Shang Rang merged with Huang Chao. became the climate. Huang Chao attacked Xiangyang, and Liu Jurong and Cao Quanyang of Jiangxi resisted at Jingmen. The imperial court promoted Cao Quanxi to be the envoy of the Tianping Festival and the deputy capital of the east, and Cao Quanhui ordered his eldest son Cao Yi to lead the troops to pursue Huangchao, but fell into an ambush. Cao Yi died in battle, and Cao Quanyang lost his eldest son. Huang Chao led an army of 150,000 to attack Qingzhou, Shandong, and Cao Quanyang had only 6,000 men. However, the commander Gao Piao, who held the army, refused to support, and Cao Quanyang was alone and retreated, and finally the whole army collapsed. Cao Quanhui ignored the small number of soldiers, swore to fight to the death, and died with all his strength. Father and son sang a lament for a court that was in decay and misery.

When Huang Chao was defeated in Qingzhou, someone persuaded Liu Jurong to take advantage of the victory to pursue. He said that the country likes to let people down, and when there is an emergency, the soldiers will go to the battlefield and fight, but no one will give them a little reward. After the incident, they didn't care about the lives and emotions of the soldiers, and some of them even had no merit. It is better to leave the yellow nest as a rich capital. This practice is historically called "raising a coward". There are still a lot of incidents of raising cobs in this way. Therefore, Huangchao made a comeback, recruited troops, and moved to Jiangnan. All the way south, occupying 15 prefectures including Xinzhou and Hangzhou.

In 880, Huangchao Tun soldiers in Xinzhou, which is now Shangrao, Jiangxi. At this time, many soldiers fell ill, became contagious, and many died. Coupled with Zhang Lan's attack, Huang Chao played a trick, gave him gold and silver, and wrote to Gao Yu, hoping to get his introduction. Gao Biao is very treacherous, and he lied to Huang Chao that he would definitely let the court be a festival envoy for you. At that time, the imperial court had already sent three troops to Huainan to attack Huangchao. Gao Biao was worried that they would share the credit, and told the court that if he didn't need to, his troops would be able to take down the Yellow Nest and let them go. So, the three armies retreated like this. Huang Chao knew about this military plane, he didn't surrender, and asked for battle, but Zhang Lan died in battle.

Gao Yu is extremely treacherous and ruthless. He used to have a good relationship with Zhou Bao, but later his status gradually rose to surpass Zhou Bao, so he underestimated Zhou Bao.

Gao Biao saw that the world was so chaotic, and he had the ambition to annex Jiangdong. He wrote to Zhou Bao to prepare a boat and go north together to aid the imperial court. Zhou Bao regarded him as a good friend, supported him, and kept preparing for it. However, according to reliable information, there is no intention of Gao Biao to go north. He was suspicious, so he visited the curtain at night, only to learn that Gao Biao's real intention was to annex him. Zhou Bao broke out in a cold sweat and scolded Gao Yu for not being human. The two fell out.

The imperial court has asked him to send troops many times, and you know what he said? He said that because Zhou Bao was his trouble, he could not send troops to the north. Sima Guang said that he "really has no heart to go, but he wants to (read) the pheasant set of different ears."

Here's the thing, one day, a pair of wild pheasants flew on the roof of Guangling Mansion. The soothsayers believe that wild pheasants come to make nests, which is a sign of an empty city. And Gao Biao wants to raise troops against Tang, he doesn't care so much. Later, in 882, the imperial court was disappointed when Gao Biao saw this performance, and seized Gao Biao's military and financial power. He lost money and never gave money and food to the court. However, then he had a stroke and became a paralyzed man. With a crooked mouth, Hara is first-class, and walks with one foot on the ground to brush the brush.

Gao Biaoben was also a literati, but he ridiculed the literati generals. Zheng Yi drafted an edict for the imperial court and scolded him for spurting blood. Zheng Zheng said that Xie Xuanpo Fu (reading clothes) in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was strong in fat water, and later the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Duping and Wu Yuanji, were in Huaixi, and they may not be as good as Confucian generals!

At this time, Li Ke contacted Hedong to jointly crusade against Huangchao. However, his Shatuo soldiers went to the east of the river, indulged the soldiers, and killed and plundered on a large scale. Later, they killed and plundered in Quyang and Yuci, and the people were miserable. Hedong is Shanxi east of the Yellow River, and the latter two cities are in the north of Shanxi.

Kill the concubine

When Emperor Xizong arrived in Chengdu, the princes of the Quartet sent gold, silver and jewelry to the imperial court. Xi Zong felt that he had to thank the Shu army for his support and was ready to reward, anyway, the wool was out of the sheep, and he was happy to be a generous emperor. Of course, those who followed him all the way from Chang'an to his life were also indispensable. This is what the emperor meant, but Tian Lingzi rewarded the soldiers with money, for example, Wang Yan will be discussed in detail later, and the soldiers in Sichuan did not give half a copper coin. In Hangzhou dialect, Tian Lingzi is very anxious. However, he was very generous to the local local guests, and each person gave a gold cup. Tian Lingzi deliberately caused unfairness and killed chickens to show monkeys, so as to raise his prestige.

When the gold cups were being distributed, an incident occurred in which Guo Qi, the general of the Sichuan Huangtou Army, refused his reward. Why? He said that the soldiers in Sichuan were like the soldiers from the imperial court, and they were not less swords and guns, no less bloodshed, and no less sacrifices, why didn't they give half a copper coin? In doing so, who is responsible if something happens?

Tian Lingzi felt that this prickly head was too spicy, and he was full of annoyance, and asked him, what credit do you have! That old Guo was not polite, and took off his clothes with a swish. Everyone present was stunned: a gold sore! He opened his eyes angrily and said, Lao Tzu conquered the side, fought seventeen battles with the party, and fought more than ten battles with the Khitan, isn't it for the imperial court! Why do you say that if you don't have merit, you don't have merit? (To be continued......)
