Before leaving Xiangyang, Li Rupei did not forget Huang Chao, who was imprisoned in the prison.

Although the outside world knows about the capture of Huang Chao by the Iron and Blood Army, Li Rupei did not escort Huang Chao to the capital, no matter what, Huang Chao is a well-known figure, there is no need to go to the capital Chang'an to suffer insults, presumably a person like Huang Chao cannot have any way to live, and he knows that he will definitely die.

Huang Chao's treatment in the prison is still good, imprisoned in a separate cell, basically able to drink every day, after Gao Chibang broke through Huang Chao's rear army, once captured Huang Chao's six women, Gao Chibang didn't know how to deal with it, and later after capturing Huang Chao, they were sent to Xiangyang, for these six women, Li Rupei instructed all parties to keep secrets, not to mention this matter, and finally let go of the six women, in fact, Li Rupei also knew that after these six women left Huang Chao, there was no way to live, Letting it out is tantamount to sending them to death, but Li Rupei is unwilling to kill women, so he lets these women fend for themselves.

Before leaving Xiangyang, Li Rupei must make a decision whether to continue to imprison Huang Chao or kill him immediately.

For so long after returning to Xiangyang, Li Rupei had too many things to do, and he was too busy to see Huang Chao at all, and he waited until he was about to leave Xiangyang, and then came to the prison under the reminder of Cui Anqian and others.

Inside the prison there is always an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

Li Rupei once thought about changing the atmosphere of the prison, but later gave up such an idea, he thought that he was still too naïve, the prison is the prison, why it was like this before, there is always a reason, if he thinks about changing everything, it is impossible to do it.

The cell where Huang Chao is held is the innermost and the most heavily guarded place.

After entering the prison, I thought that I would meet the leader of this famous peasant rebel army in history. Li Rupei is still a little curious, according to the history that has not changed, the Huangchao rebellion took the capital Chang'an in less than ten years, and became the emperor in Chang'an, which is also a legend.

However, Li Rupei's emotions are very evaluated, after crossing over, he has his own view of reality, and he has long formed a temperament that is not shocked.

When the shackled, bearded Huang Chao was brought in, his face was unusually haggard. After all, he is a man in his sixties, and he was completely defeated and captured alive by the Iron Army, and this kind of feeling is unbearable for ordinary people.

Li Rupei motioned for the jailer to remove the shackles of the Yellow Nest.

The jailer hesitated, after all, Huang Chao's strength was infinite, if he was in the prison and let Huang Chao hurt the prince, the jailer's life would not be saved, and Li Rupei would have two people around him to protect him.

Of course, the jailer would not know about the people around Li Rupei. With the courage of ten thousand people, dealing with Huang Chao is nothing at all.

Under Li Rupei's signal again, the jailer finally removed the shackles of the Yellow Nest.

Huang Chao moved his muscles and looked at the young and somewhat excessive Li Rupei on the opposite side. is probably still speculating about Li Rupei's identity.

"Huang Chao, it's been a long time, you have fought with a certain person many times, and I didn't expect to meet here. A certain is Li Rupei. ”

Li Rupei's words made Huang Chao's body tremble slightly, he would never have imagined being in the prison. Being able to see the commander of the Iron Army, the shock and trauma left by the Iron Blood Army was too great, if it weren't for the sudden rise of the Iron Army, he would never have fallen to such a fate, many times I imagined that Li Rupei should be a tall man, speaking majesticly, I didn't expect that this handsome and dashing young man in front of him was Li Rupei, who was famous in the Tang Dynasty.

"You, you are Li Rupei, why are you so young......"

Huang Chao originally wanted to put on an indifferent posture, anyway, it was a death, there was no need to make a pitiful appearance, but when he saw such a young Li Rupei, thinking that he had been fighting for many years, and he was actually defeated in the hands of such a young man, he was difficult to be reserved, and he couldn't help but think about breaking out, he thought that this was God's injustice.

"This is God wants to perish, a certain has worked hard for so many years, and I can't imagine that I will be defeated in your hands in the end, and I am really unwilling......"

A smile appeared on Li Rupei's face, Huang Chao's performance, as he expected, was a sixty-year-old man after all, after all, he had rebelled for so many years, but all this disappeared, and when he suddenly saw that his opponent was so young, he must not be able to hold back.

"Huang Chao, you are not XX's opponent, no matter what time it is, it is easy for XX to defeat you."

Huang Chao began to sneer, and quickly fought back against Li Rupei.

"Yellow-haired child, you also boasted about Haikou in front of so-and-so, you are just lucky."

The faces of the two people beside Li Rupei changed, and they were about to step forward to make a move, but Li Rupei waved his hand to stop them.

"Huang Chao, the courage of the puppet is useless, and the stubbornness is a sign of weakness, from the time of the Battle of Luoyang, I think you should know that it must be the Iron and Blood Army that will destroy you in the end, but you probably didn't expect that in such a short period of time, the army under your command will be wiped out, and everything will cease to exist."

Huang Chao looked at Li Rupei and did not continue to speak.

"Huang Chao, you can't have a future, because you forgot your roots, why you rebelled in the first place, what kind of slogan you put forward, you must remember it very clearly, but unfortunately you forgot all this later, or you yourself are just for enjoyment, the people are just tools you use, when you were in Gwangju and Huangzhou and other places, you did a good job, did not harass the people, and got the support of the people, so at that time, your army can quickly recover and grow."

"I don't know why, after entering Jiangnan Province, you have completely changed, maybe you feel that there is no future, you connived at your subordinates to plunder the people, do you know that the soldiers under your command were all ordinary people before, and they were all outcasts who couldn't survive, they wanted to live, so they followed your expedition, and told them to turn around and deal with the people, they forgot their roots like you, and they were able to attack the people, in fact, at this time, you have gone to the road of destruction."

"The army is conquest, there is no fixed place, there are six women around you, you are willing to enjoy it, you have plundered countless gold and silver treasures, what are you doing with these gold and silver treasures, why can't you use it to entrap the soldiers under your command, why can't you use it to unite people's hearts, you are already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, is it not clear that such a simple truth."

"You have rebelled for so many years, but you have been fixed in one place, you don't listen to the wanderers, thinking that you can get the greatest benefits by fighting like this, you can plunder everywhere, do you know that this practice has committed the taboo of soldiers, except for those outcasts who follow you, who else will support you, if they support you, after you leave, they will not suffer the punishment of the government, will not be able to live."

"I don't bother to say it anymore, others think that you are from a reckless background, but you think that you have a very good ability, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a big noise in such a short period of time, looking at Datang, no one can do it, but what you have done in the past two years has indeed made you look down on you."

Huang Chao, who has a violent and conceited personality, has never heard such a reprimand, but the strange thing is that the young Li Rupei's reprimand makes him unable to answer, let alone refute, everything Li Rupei said is reasonable, if such a strategist can appear around him Huang Chao, and he can be reminded from time to time, maybe today's situation will not appear.

Seeing Huang Chao bow his head and not speak, Li Rupei sighed.

"Huang Chao, do you know, a certain was the same as you back then, even more miserable than you, a certain was chased and killed by the imperial court, no one in the family survived, all were slaughtered, a certain was a fluke, after straying into the bandits' den, the first thing that came to mind was to save your life, in fact, you and a certain have a lot of similarities, don't look at a certain person who was born in the Li Tang royal family, and indeed died a lifetime, in such a situation, does a certain want to think about revenge, is it not after the iron-blooded army grows, leave and take the soldiers to the capital, kill those enemies, but unfortunately a certain will not do this."

"The biggest difference between a certain and you is that a certain is really to put the people in his heart, Emperor Taizong said, water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat, whoever dares to ignore the interests of the people, who will be completely abandoned by the people, you are the best example, so your failure, don't blame God, the real reason is yourself."

"You have fallen into such a situation, you must also have the belief that you will die, a certain will fulfill you, will not send you to the capital, no matter what, you are a hero, heroes should not be insulted, a certain will let you die a dignified death, if you still have any requirements, just put it forward, as long as you can agree, you will definitely agree."

Huang Chao was silent for a long time, Li Rupei came to the prison, which was beyond his expectations, and the words Li Rupei said made him even more unexpected, Rao is he is already in his sixties, and if he thinks about Li Rupei's words carefully, he can only bow down.

"There is no requirement for so-and-so, to be able to see the prince before he dies, to accept this teaching, to be convinced, to believe that the prince will make great achievements in the future, but there are still some things to say, if the prince is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so-and-so will not rebel, so many years, think about the brothers who died in the conquest, think about the trust of the brothers, a certain value."

When Li Rupei walked out of the prison, he spoke to the soldiers around him.

"Go and report to Elder Cui Ge, let Huang Chao commit suicide, there is no need to behead him, leave him a whole corpse, Huang Chao has already made up his mind to die, make more delicious food in the past two days, he can be satisfied with as much wine as he wants, don't provoke him with the jailers in the prison, and don't bring any shackles......"

The soldiers lowered their heads and listened, but they didn't dare to raise their heads, he heard everything Li Rupei and Huang Chao said, Li Rupei's words shocked him very much, he didn't know why Li Rupei said so much in front of Huang Chao.

This is something that the pro-soldiers will never understand for the rest of their lives. (To be continued......)
