Gather the army, count the number of people again, Huang Chao almost fainted, the 80,000 army left less than 40,000 people, the loss of more than half, although such a loss, has happened many times before, and even more serious losses have appeared, but this time the situation is different, the army has become the climate, north and south, invincible all the way, especially after killing Cao Quanyang, the momentum of the army has reached its peak, it can be said that if there is no appearance of the iron-blooded army, Huang Chao occupies the eastern capital Luoyang and the capital Chang'an, That's a sure thing.

The bravery and invincibility of the Iron Blood Army left a deep impression on Huang Chao, and at this time, he had to believe that Huang Yu had been killed by the Iron Blood Army and had no hope of survival.

In the three confrontations with the Iron Blood Army, Huang Chao's losses were extremely heavy, the four King Kongs under his command lost three people, Huang Kui and Zhao Zhang were killed by the Iron Blood Army, Shang Rang was executed by himself, and the only one left was Zhu Wen.

This is not counting, the army of nearly 200,000 is now less than 100,000, and in the three encounters with the Iron and Blood Army, the army has lost more than 100,000 sergeants, but these are all elite sergeants, all of whom have experienced battles.

A breath of resentment was holding in his chest, Huang Chao was not convinced, he wanted to find a place to vent.

When the chief guard entered the tent, Huang Chao's face was very bad.

It was because the chief of the guard forced him to retreat that the army collapsed, even though the chief of the guard did his duty.

What Huang Chao didn't expect was that before he could speak, the head of the guard took out a letter from his arms.

"General, this is the letter left by General Shang Rang before his death, saying that when the general encounters a critical situation, it can be opened, and his subordinates follow General Shang Rang's last words, and specially report to the general, this time the army has failed, and the subordinates are responsible, if the general wants to punish, the subordinates have no complaints."

Huang Chaoleng for a while, in fact, when the army was defeated, he had already thought of Shang Rang, and thought of Shang Rang's reminder, which was conveyed by Zhu Wen on his behalf, at that time, his heart was full of anger, and he didn't listen to it at all, but thought that Shang Rang was suspected of shirking responsibility, so he killed Shang Rang in a fit of anger.

Slowly took the letter and slowly opened it.

Huang Chao looked very seriously, and when he saw the back, a spot of light appeared in the corner of his eye.

Finally, Huang Chao raised his head and spoke to the chief of the guard.

"Chief of the guard, you did a very good job, but it's a pity that you didn't be able to speak when a certain decision was made to execute Shang Rang, this can't be blamed on you, it's all impulsive at a certain time......"

The chief guard was very surprised, he had followed Huang Chao for so many years, and it was the first time he saw Huang Chao say such words, Huang Chao had made many wrong decisions before, but he never admitted his mistakes, and always insisted on his own opinions, including falling out with Wang Xianzhi back then.

"You go and inform all the officers, get ready, the army will rest for a day, and rush to Liangzhou tomorrow, Li Rupei will lead the iron-blooded army to dispatch from the nest, hmph, isn't he very powerful, then so-and-so will lead the army, raid Liangzhou, take his nest, and see if he has anything else to say."

The head of the guard's eyes also shone brightly.

"General, this arrangement is too good, Li Rupei has won a big victory, and he will definitely stay in Luoyang for a while, at this time, the army will raid Liangzhou, even if Li Rupei receives the news, it will be too late to go back."

"Yes, that's Shang Rang's suggestion."

When the chief guard turned around and was about to go out, Huang Chao raised his hand to signal.

"Wait, I remember Shang Rang said, Zhu Wen is not credible, he can't control the army, tell me the truth, what do you think, what is your impression of Zhu Wen."

The body of the chief of the guard trembled slightly, Huang Chao meant to speak like this, he understood, Huang Chao began to think about every word Shang Rang said, this is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, Huang Chao said such words, which proves that he began to doubt Zhu Wen in his heart, and now the army is at a low point, if Huang Chao doubts the generals under his command, wouldn't it make the army fall into a more passive situation.

However, for that Zhu Wen, the chief of the guard really didn't have a good impression, since Huang Chao opened his mouth to ask, he also had to tell the truth, he couldn't hide anything, as for how to make a decision, it was the general's business.

"The subordinates don't have much contact with General Zhu, and they don't know much about General Zhu, and their subordinates just think that General Zhu is difficult to approach, but General Zhu is very brave in battle, and the rest of his subordinates are not easy to evaluate."

Huang Chao nodded slightly.

"Yes, Zhu Wen is very brave, this is also very clear, if it is a fair evaluation, Zhu Wen's ability is probably above Shang Rang, think about it, why is such a brave person willing to live behind Shang Rang and others, why let Shang Rang and others get so much credit, this doesn't make sense."

The head of the guard's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but speak.

"General, subordinates think that the army is about to attack Liangzhou, the most important thing at this time is to encourage the soldiers to fight bravely, the general has encountered many dangers, can survive safely, this time is no exception, maybe the general to conquer Liangzhou, can get more grain and grass materials and sergeants......"

When the chief guard said these words, he was extremely apprehensive in his heart, but after he finished speaking, he found that Huang Chao's face showed a smile.

"Chief of the guard, in the future, I will talk like this in front of XX, if there is something wrong with XX, you can point it out, what you said is good, you have to encourage the soldiers to fight bravely, it is nothing to lose to the iron-blooded army, XX has been fighting for so many years, not all of them have survived, this time it is the same, you go and gather the officers, all come here, and XX has something to say."

The army led by Zhu Wen soon made peace with Huang Chao.

Huang Chao's fiasco, to Zhu Wen surprised, he didn't expect that the army would lose so much, actually lost more than 40,000 soldiers, especially the loss of cavalry, can be said to be the largest, the loss of horses reached more than 30,000, the impact on the army is very great, future actions will definitely be affected, you must know that many of these horses are obtained in the battle to defeat Zhang Lu and Cao Quanxi and others, and it is also one of the reasons why the army can grow rapidly.

After entering the tent, Zhu Wen found that Huang Chao looked good.

"General Zhu, I am ready to lead a large army, go straight to Liangzhou, and finish off Li Rupei's lair, what do you think?"

Huang Chao's arrangement, Zhu Wen already knew, when the two armies met, Zhu Wen found that the army that had just failed was preparing to set off, and many officers were very busy, and after a little inquiry, he knew Huang Chao's arrangement.

Zhu Wen has a different view.

"General, my subordinates thought that Li Rupei would definitely make some arrangements, and the army would raid Liangzhou, and he did not object, but he suggested that scouts be sent to investigate the situation in Liangzhou, and make a final decision based on the intelligence of the investigation."

Zhu Wen said very euphemistically, implying that the iron-blooded army is unusually brave, then Li Rupei must not be simple, he will definitely think of all aspects, if the direction of Liangzhou is prepared, then the army will suffer a more severe blow, maybe it will collapse, at this time, it is best to return to Kaifeng, rest the army, and then return to the south to seek development.

Huang Chao understood what Zhu Wen meant, but there was no expression on his face.

"What you said is good, but the army still has to march in the direction of Liangzhou, the scouts can scout along the road, from today onwards, you will stay by the side of a certain person to help plan, the army has suffered a major loss, there can be no more mistakes, you are by the side of a certain person, a certain can be a lot more at ease."

"The subordinates follow the general's arrangement."

Zhu Wen's face also didn't have much expression, and he readily agreed, but there was a huge wave in his heart, what can he do beside Huang Chao, he is not doing things according to Huang Chao's requirements, doing well is what he should do, if he doesn't do well, he will definitely be reprimanded, and if he doesn't do well, he will be in danger of losing his head.

Zhu Wen has already made arrangements in the tens of thousands of troops, if he is given more time, he can completely control the tens of thousands of troops, but unfortunately this plan came to an abrupt end, Huang Chao seemed to see something, and a few words lightly and skillfully broke all his arrangements.

Zhu Wen is definitely not convinced, but he can't show it at the moment.

When the chief of the guard entered the tent, Zhu Wen began to make arrangements, the tens of thousands of troops led by Zhu Wen, because there was no expedition and full of physical strength, became the main force to attack Liangzhou at this time, as for the army of less than 40,000 who retreated from defeat, they also had to rest while marching during the march, and when they arrived in Liangzhou, they must participate in the battle.

These arrangements were all made in front of Zhu Wen, and Huang Chao did not consult Zhu Wen's opinion.

After the arrangement, Zhu Wen casually looked at the chief of the guard.

The head of the guard looked at him with a hint of evasion.

Zhu Wen understood everything in an instant.

After resting for two days, the army did not return to Kaifeng, but went directly in the direction of Liangzhou.

In the process, Huang Chao didn't even think of sending scouts to Luoyang to see what the Iron Blood Army was doing, whether to stay in Luoyang or turn around and return to Liangzhou.

Zhu Wen, who stayed by Huang Chao's side, basically didn't speak, let alone put forward any suggestions, he had already sensed the danger from the attitude of the head of the guard, that is, Huang Chao had begun to guard against him, I am afraid that in a short period of time, he would not let him hold any power, follow Huang Chao's side, on the surface, he was trusted by Huang Chao, but in fact, this is not the case at all, he can't control the army, he can't make suggestions, and Huang Chao's personality is irritable, similar to his personality, in this case, He could only swallow his anger and not say anything, nothing was good.

Zhu Wen began to look for opportunities, he has already installed his most trusted officers in the tens of thousands of troops, I believe that when the army fluctuates, he can pull away these officers, as well as the sergeants under his command, Huang Chao can turn his face with Wang Xianzhi back then, and he Zhu Wen can turn his face with Huang Chao.
