Guo Chongtao finished his strategy in one breath.

In fact, as early as when he sent troops to Hezhong, he vaguely felt that Zhu Wen would not let Hedong annex Hezhong.

It's just that I didn't expect the Jin army to be delayed in the river for such a long time, and I didn't expect Zhang Cunjing and Wang Chongshi to have such hard bones.

It is precisely because of the performance of Zhang Cunjing and Wang Chongshi that he is not optimistic about the outcome of the battle in the river. He had already vaguely proposed that the Jin army was not the opponent of the Liang army at this stage, but the king of Jin turned a deaf ear.

Since the defeat of Huangchao, the Jin army has never been defeated, and the change of Shangyuanyi, although the fierce general Shi Jingsi fell, did not hurt the bones of the Jin army.

But Li Cunxiao's rebellion was different, in addition to the general Li Cunxiao was split by the car, the generals Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu were executed together, the most elite crow army suffered heavy losses, and the general Kang Junli was also poisoned by King Jin some time ago.

On the other hand, Zhu Wen, after exterminating Huangchao, has suffered many big defeats, but every time he can become more and more courageous, defeating strong opponents again and again, from the earliest Huangchao, Qin Zongquan, Sun Ru, to Shi Pu, Zhu Jin and Zhu Xuan, Zhu Wen not only did not fall, but became stronger and stronger.

Except for the original Helian Duo and Li Congwei, Hedong is barely an opponent, and the others are not of the same grade.

Even Helian Duo and Li Congwei are too far behind Qin Zongquan and others.

The real highlight of the Shatuo Army was when they encircled and suppressed Huangchao in Guanzhong.

But the fall of Huangchao is not all due to the Shatuo army, Yang Fuguang, Wang Chongrong, Li Sigong, and Zhang Jun also contributed a lot.

The victory that was too easy to get made the Jin army permeated with an air of arrogance.

Even King Jin himself didn't feel it.

But there are some things that can't be said more.

Guo Chongtao is quick-witted, how can he not know his situation? He is a Han man, and now he is just an official position, and he is soft-spoken, and Li Keyong can let him express his opinions, which is already a fancy to him. And this fancy has aroused the hostility of Shatuo's generals.

Although Li Keyong naturalized the Tang Dynasty, some of the Shatuo generals were unwilling to naturalize.

One of the representative figures is Li Luoluo, the eldest son of King Jin.

Zhou Dewei, who was also a Han general, although he was also reused by Li Keyong, he always kept a low profile in the Jin army and never expressed his opinion.

Guo Chongtao sighed in his heart, and suddenly felt worried about his future. Li Keyong pondered for a long time before he said: "The upper policy is too weak, the middle policy is too time-consuming, only the lower policy is most in line with the actual situation of our army, if you can't even defeat a Jiangzhou, how can you compete with Zhu Wen?" In three days, the king will rest in the city. ”

"Father is wise!" Li Luoluo said overjoyed.

The other Shatuo generals in the tent echoed one after another: "The king is wise! ”

In this situation, Guo Chongtao can only echo it.

Bianzhou.

The people went out of the city to meet the army of Zhu Wen.

The Liang army fought ferociously and murderously, and did not do much to anger and resent, but that was to the outside world, and it was very kind to the people of Bianzhou, and there were quite a lot of Bians in the Liang army.

In the face of the enthusiastic people, Zhu Wen responded one by one on the horse.

When I walked to the city, I saw Jing Xiang, Liu Han and other cadres of Wenchen greet him, "Welcome the king class back to the city." ”

Zhu Wen hurriedly dismounted and helped a few people up one by one, "No need to be polite, there is no need to worry about the future, thanks to your strength." In front of the generals, Zhu Wen was majestic, and in front of Wenchen, Zhu Wen was very friendly, as if old friends were reunited, so that Jing Xiang, Liu Han and others were like a spring breeze.

After some greetings, everyone welcomed Zhu Wen into the city.

The people in the city came to pay homage to King Liang's appearance, and Zhu Wen still waved generously.

There were many white-haired old men kneeling on the side of the road, calling them virtuous kings, and Zhu Wen personally went to support them and rewarded them with some money.

When he returned to the Liang Palace, and saw the Liang Wang's family members who greeted him, Zhu Wen's face returned to his royal demeanor, but he ignored them, but directly followed Jingxiang Liu Han into the shogunate.

"Please surrender the king, the minister is not in a good situation, and sit back and watch the Tang court grow." Jing Xiang's men knelt in front of Zhu Wen.

Liu Han also knelt down.

Zhu Wen didn't want to help Jing Xiang up, "Sir, why should you be like this, the emperor sits big, and goes to seek peace alone, for a hundred years, the Tang Dynasty is not dead or alive, can the emperor return to heaven and change his life?" It's just a pass, can it still sweep the Kanto region like Daqin back then? ”

"Ministers, ministers are worthy of the king's love." Jing Xiang is grateful.

"Standing alone and reckless, the land of a hundred battles in Bianzhou, if it weren't for the assistance of Mr., how could I have a place for Zhu Quanzhong? Sir, don't blame yourself like this, you and I are one monarch and minister, what's so difficult in the world? Zhu Wen also sighed.

The two of them were so heart-to-heart that Liu Han couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"The emperor can rise up in a desperate situation, it really impresses Lonely, but that's all, this time Lone leads the army, the emperor wants to sit in Guanzhong, I'm afraid it's impossible." After listening to Jing Xiang's report, Zhu Wen also had the heart to win. "Great King, although the emperor cannot be underestimated, but the key to this battle is still Li Keyong, if our army can defeat Li Keyong, it will sweep away the prestige of the Shatuo army for thirty years! At that time, the river will fall into my hands, and Hedong and Zhaoyi can also be mapped! Liu Han took the opportunity to speak.

Being able to enter this kind of occasion has already shown that Zhu Wen values him, and it is not in vain that he is conscientious in Bianzhou.

A ball of sparks burst out in Zhu Wen's eyes, "Yes, the only one in the world who can compete with Lone is Li Ya'er, defeat this fang, and the world will return to Bianzhou!" Jing Xiang frowned, this was what he wanted to say, but Liu Han took the lead, "Jianghuai Yang Xingmi, this person's ambition is not small. ”

"It's okay, Lone has ordered Pang Shigu's 60,000 troops to garrison Xuzhou to guard against Yang Xingmi, and Mr. is still thinking about how to defeat Li Ya'er for Lone." Zhu Wen's interest in Li Keyong was significantly greater than that of Yang Xingmi and the emperor.

The change in Shangyuanyi back then, on the one hand, Li Ke used unreasonable words to anger the monarchs and ministers of Bianzhou, and on the other hand, Zhu Wen felt that Li Keyong would be his great enemy in the future, so he moved the idea of murder.

It's a pity that the Shatuo people were in full swing back then, and the three hundred personal soldiers plus Li Cunxiao, Shi Jingsi and other fierce generals broke through from the iron bucket-like Shangyuan Station.

After so many years, Zhu Wen has always been haunted.

He started between swords and soldiers, and he was a martial artist who stood at the peak of the chaotic times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, just like Li Ke could not allow Zhu Wen to gain power, and Zhu Wen did not allow Li Ke to use power.

The middle of the river is the "potential" of the two sides! ”

Jing Xiang suppressed a little unhappiness in his heart, "Right now, Zhang Cunjing and Wang Chongshi are guarding Jiangzhou, the soldiers are full of food, Li Ke is in a short period of time, it is extremely difficult to capture, and Liu Zhijun is stationed in Shaanzhou, threatening its side, Li Keyong has become a tiger riding a difficult situation, the king does not have to rush to the army, just need to garrison the troops in Wangyue Mountain, cut off Li Keyong's retreat to Qinzhou, then Li Keyong is losing ground and defeated!" ”

"Jingzhong Yun is plotting, Mochizuki Mountain is between Jiangzhou and Qinzhou, adjacent to Qinshui, and the Shatuo cavalry cannot play to their strengths." Liu Han added.

Zhu Wen looked at the map on the case, he preferred to directly wave his troops to the west, unite Liu Zhijun's 5,000 troops in the south, attack on three sides, and fight a direct decisive battle, he didn't believe that Li Keyong was still able to turn the tide.

However, as one of the best heroes in the world, Zhu Wen attaches more importance to talents than Li Keyong, and also attaches more importance to the opinions of his subordinates, especially the opinions of Jing Xiang, which has benefited him a lot many times. ”
