Huang Chao's personality is very irritable, everyone around him knows it, so when Huang Chao is angry, most people will not speak, and there are only two people who dare to speak when Huang Chao is angry, one is Huang Kuo, and the other is Zhao Zhang, these two people dare to speak, and there are deep-seated reasons, Huang Kuo is Huang Chao's own brother, what do you dare to say, Zhao Zhang belongs to the strategist, he does not control the military power, it is impossible to form any substantial threat, so he can also speak.

Shang Rang, Zhu Wen and the others will not speak.

It's a pity that sometimes, Huang Kuo and Zhao Zhang's opening didn't have much effect, and it was precisely for this reason that Huang Chao made some not very rational decisions in anger, and suffered countless blows, especially in terms of operations, or in terms of formulating strategic plans, he suffered too many blows.

The 50,000 vanguard troops led by Shang Rang suffered heavy losses, less than 10,000 people came back, and Zhao Zhang was also killed by the Iron and Blood Army, although Huang Chao couldn't bear it, but thinking that he had suffered a lot of fiascos before, so he still endured this breath, but Zhu Wen later reported the situation, the meaning was completely different, it turned out that Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang were negligent in their precautions and connived at the officers and sergeants to drink, which led to the camp being attacked by the Iron and Blood Army, so there would be such a heavy loss.

When Shang Rang reported the situation, he didn't talk about drinking and celebrating, and what was even more annoying was that Shang Rang actually said that the Iron Blood Army was unusually brave, and the implication was that the army should not attack the Iron Blood Army for the time being.

This violated Huang Chao's bottom line, and he even suspected that Liu Yunzhang's surrender of opening the city gate reported by Shang Rang may also be made up, or Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang were both deceived.

The heavy loss made Huang Chao unable to hold back the anger in his heart, and he wanted to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys.

Shang Rang is one of his most trusted generals, but there is a mistake in principle, but also to encounter punishment, the army is about to arrive in Luoyang, and the iron-blooded army will start a life-and-death struggle, at this time, borrow Shang Rang's head to boost morale, so that many soldiers understand that only by desperately killing the enemy on the battlefield can there be a way out, otherwise Shang Rang's ending is in front of him.

The so-called Four King Kongs under his command are now left with one Zhu Wen, and it is the Zhu Wen that Huang Chao knows the most.

Huang Chao secretly hurt himself, but he couldn't see any expression on his face, he was the commander of the army, his emotions would affect the army, the more this time, the more he had to show strength.

Seeing the chief of the guard, Zhu Wen and others riding over from a distance, Huang Chao pulled the reins in his hand and made the war horse stop temporarily.

Seeing Shang Rang's head in the hand of the chief of the guard, Shang Rang's eyes were not closed, his mouth was full of blood, Huang Chao's heart suddenly trembled, and a particularly strong sense of regret spread out, the army was about to face the Iron and Blood Army, but he was in a rage, and killed his own general, isn't this self-destructive.

But such emotions cannot be revealed, they can only be placed in the depths of the heart.

Looking at the army, what he can rely on at present is Zhu Wen, and the rest of the generals, in terms of ability, still have a huge gap with Zhu Wen.

"The chief of the guard, the head of Shang Rang, is displayed in the army, so that all the sergeants know that if military discipline is violated on the battlefield, even if it is a general like Shang Rang, he will be dealt with by military law."

The head guard opened his mouth, but finally did not speak, and turned to leave.

Huang Chao was left with Zhu Wen by his side.

This time, Huang Chao is ready to personally grasp the matter of commanding the army to fight, but it is impossible for more than 100,000 sergeants to rush in one swarm, after all, there must be a reserve team, and there must be a team that needs materials to guard logistics.

"Zhu Wen, a certain led 80,000 sergeants to attack the iron-blooded army, you lead the remaining sergeants, pay attention to the protection of grain and grass materials, and at the same time set up a reserve team of 20,000 people, once the iron-blooded army collapses, you will lead 20,000 people to launch a final charge and defeat the iron-blooded army in one fell swoop, and you must take Li Rupei's head."

"The subordinates wish the general victory, and the subordinates must do a good job according to the general's requirements."

Zhu Wen's face was expressionless, and he didn't look particularly excited.

In fact, Huang Chao made such an arrangement, indicating that Zhu Wen was about to turn his horse and go back, the army led by Huang Chao marched much faster, and the teams that lagged behind, including the logistics team specializing in transporting grain and grass, were slower, and the backward army was close to a hundred miles, and Zhu Wen had to lead this team and slowly catch up.

After Huang Chao made arrangements, he didn't waste time and walked forward.

Zhu Wen turned his horse's head and walked towards the rear of the group.

At the back of the line, dozens of officers were waiting, all of whom were Zhu Wen's most trusted officers.

"You follow a certain way, to command the team behind, you all remember, you can't delay the military situation, otherwise you won't be polite, what happened to the general, you have all seen it, the general has already ordered it, this time we must completely exterminate the iron-blooded army, we must kill Li Rupei, if someone violates military discipline, I can't protect you."

Everyone hugged their fists and agreed, turned their horses' heads and walked towards the rear.

Along the way, a smile finally appeared on Zhu Wen's face.

Commanding tens of thousands of horses alone, this is the first time for him, there will never be such a situation before, as the rebellion started Huang Chao, in terms of controlling the army, there are particularly strict requirements, no matter who it is, the transfer of a soldier and a pawn must be approved by Huang Chao, and under ordinary circumstances, many generals only have the qualifications to lead the army to fight, and there is no qualification to lead the army alone on weekdays.

If it weren't for the special circumstances this time, Zhu Wen would not have had the opportunity to command tens of thousands of troops at all.

Can't be a vanguard, won't start a face-to-face fight with the iron-blooded army, this is the situation that Zhu Wen is willing to see, in the dark, he already has a feeling, this time the general will inevitably suffer defeat in front of the iron-blooded army, it depends on how big the loss will be, if the loss is too great, even more than the situation in the last battle in Xiangyang, then he Zhu Wen has to think of another way, after all, the iron-blooded army has risen, Huang Chao wants to continue to gallop north and south, and continue to organize such a huge army, it is very difficult.

As early as after reporting to Huang Chao about Shang Rang, Zhu Wen made arrangements, requiring his most trusted officers to go to the back of the team, he guessed at that time that he was likely to command the team behind, since Huang Chao asked him to be responsible, then he could seize this opportunity to talk about the many officers he trusted and place them in the back team, so that he could slowly begin to support his own strength.

Shang Rang was mercilessly killed by Huang Chao, which surprised Zhu Wen unexpectedly, and he never expected that he had a focused report in front of Huang Chao, originally thinking that Ling Shang Rang would be snubbed by Huang Chao, in this case, he could just take the position and replace Shang Rang's previous position.

Huang Chao killed Shang Rang, which made Zhu Wen feel cold, he finally discovered that Huang Chao, who had been talking about brotherhood all day long, had no brotherly love in his heart at all, everything was for himself, it was said that Shang Rang's contribution in the army was prominent, for such a small thing, he should not have been killed at all, but Huang Chao did it, and he had to spread Shang Rang's head among the army, which was very excessive.

You must know that many officers in the army have followed Shang Rang to fight, and have been appreciated and cared for by Shang Rang, what kind of thoughts will these officers and sergeants have in their hearts when they see Shang Rang having such a tragic ending.

Zhu Wen thought of the word reckless man for the first time, used to describe Huang Chao, it doesn't seem to be too much, the army is about to start a brutal fight, at this time the cohesion of people's hearts is the most important, Shang Rang did suffer defeat, and made a lot of mistakes, but if Huang Chao can forgive, and let Shang Rang take the lead, I believe that those sergeants who desperately return to the army will also fight with the sergeants of the Iron and Blood Army.

With such a simple truth, Huang Chao couldn't even think of it, could he still think of something bigger.

To do anything, you have to think of the back road, Zhu Wen doesn't have such a foolish loyalty as Shang Rang, if his life is gone, then there is nothing, and there is nothing to talk about.

Zhu Wen thought about his own way back, if the army led by Huang Chao won the victory and then was able to occupy Luoyang, then he would follow Huang Chao with peace of mind and try every means to consolidate his position in the army.

In any case, with the foundation in place and tens of thousands of troops in hand, and a large amount of grain and grass in hand, this is the most advantageous situation.

Zhu Wen, who had made up his mind, finally had a smile on his face.

The chief of the guard who had completed the order finally returned to Huang Chao's side, he had been thinking about how to inform the general Huang Chao of Shang Rang's words before he died, this speech requires art, Huang Chao is definitely in a bad mood now, if he doesn't pay attention and provoke Huang Chao to lose his temper, he, the chief of the guard, may not be able to bear it, after all, Shang Rang's example is there.

Seeing Huang Chao's calm and lonely expression, the chief guard finally spoke.

"General, before General Shang died, he asked his subordinates to bring a few words to the general."

Huang Chao didn't speak, nodding silently.

"General Shang implores the general to pay attention to General Zhu and not to give General Zhu any power......

There was no expression on Huang Chao's face.

The head of the guard had been paying attention to Huang Chao's expression, and if Huang Chao showed anger, he would not continue, but this time Huang Chao was very calm, and there was no sign of anger.

After the chief guard finished speaking, Huang Chao did not give an affirmative answer.

"So-and-so knows, everything will wait until the army has wiped out the iron-blooded army, you remember, these words are not allowed to be said to anyone, otherwise so-and-so will not be polite."

The head of the guard nodded hurriedly, based on his observation, he believed that Huang Chao had listened to these words, but he didn't take out the letter for the time being, it was Shang Rang who asked him to take it out when Huang Chao encountered difficulties before he died.
