In the spring of the first year of Zhonghe, Li Ye stood in front of the Qingzhou City Tower, facing the southwest, and extended from his line of sight, which was the hinterland of the Central Plains.

After Huangchao conquered Chang'an, many towns in Guanzhong surrendered, and there were many dependents in the prefectures and counties, but in the Central Plains, there were also people who refused to surrender to Huangchao although they were not so loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

The spring breeze greeted him, blowing up the hairband, Li Ye's eyes were deep, his face was as usual, and he never said anything. A few steps behind him, the young man with a very different temperament but both beautiful and moving, standing on the left and on the right, stood solemnly and guarded.

In front of Li Ye, on the vast land outside Qingzhou City, the 100,000 army is divided into the enemy and us, in the battle array exercise, the people are over 10,000, boundless, the 100,000 army is even more endless at a glance, the footsteps of the soldiers in the ironclad ocean, the sound of the horses' hooves rumbling, mixed with the sound of shouting and killing, such as the sound of the waves, shaking the heavens and the earth, the tide-like smoke and dust rolling around, covering the sky and the sun.

Suddenly, the commander of the Tsing Yi Yamen, Song Jiao, who was dressed in a purple robe of Tuanhua, walked with enchanting steps, and when he passed by the big priest, the latter's fingers moved slightly Bai Lian emerged from his sleeve, Song Jiao raised her eyebrows, but she didn't turn her head.

Li Ye watched the army drill, and did not ignore Song Jiao's approach, he took two steps back, sat on the wide and gorgeous seat covered with tiger skins, leaned against the small case, and asked without squinting: "What's the matter?"

Song Jiao's voice was lazy, revealing a seductive flattery, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty gave all the military power to Fengxiang Jiedu envoy Zheng Zheng before leaving Fengxiang, and now he is the commander of all the military camps on all sides of the capital, and the soldiers and horses in the world are controlled by him. ”

"Feng Xiang Jie Du envoy Zheng Jin? This person has some impressions, but his reputation was not very significant before, how can he go to the military power this time? Li Ye frowned slightly.

The corners of Song Jiao's mouth moved slightly, "A few years ago, Huangchao broke through Tongguan, and Tian Lingzi led the Shence Army with five thousand elite cavalry to escort His Majesty all the way west. When passing by Fengxiang, the Jiedu envoy Zheng Zheng led the shogunate officials and generals to Luogu to meet him. Zheng Zheng asked His Majesty to stay in Fengxiang and command the soldiers and horses of the towns to fight the thieves, but His Majesty did not agree. Zheng Zheng said to His Majesty that Shuzhong is remote, the roads are not smooth, and it is inconvenient to report it, if His Majesty asks the ministers to beg the thieves, he will hand over the military power to the ministers, so as to act at the opportunity. ”

Li Ye laughed: "This guy is very good at getting things done." Needless to say, after His Majesty handed over the military power to Zheng Jin, he continued to run west into Shu. However, Fengxiang is not far from Chang'an, and the millions of chaotic troops are in front of him, how dare the officers and soldiers of Fengxiang Army take over the errand of begging thieves at this time?"

Song Jiao said with a smile: "At first, Zheng Ji convened the generals to discuss, and the generals were naturally unwilling, Zheng Ji was furious, yelled and swore not to obey the thief, and he fainted in anger, and the generals finally woke him up, but he couldn't move, he couldn't even speak, just kept crying. Seeing that Zheng Zheng was so loyal, the generals couldn't help but be moved by him and expressed their willingness to serve him. So Zheng Zheng jumped up, made a bloody alliance with his generals, and said that the hearts of the people are still there, and the traitors will die. ”

After hearing this, Li Ye couldn't help but not laugh, but looked solemn, the conscience of people in this era is generally much higher than that of the earth in the end of the law era, but it can also be seen that Zheng Yi still has some means, and the Tsing Yi Yamen can find out these details, and the work is also good.

By the time Li Yan appointed Li Ye as the envoy of the eastern camp and asked him to send troops to attack Huangchao, and was sent to Qingzhou, the Tsing Yi Yamen had already transmitted back the follow-up battle situation of Fengxiang.

After Huang Chao ascended the throne in Chang'an, he sent the prime minister Shang Rang to lead the troops to attack, but was left in Fengxiang Shence army Yu Hou Wang Jian, Li Maozhen, together with the Fengxiang army to defeat, and then Huang Chao sent people to persuade Zheng Zheng to surrender, but Zheng Zheng tore up the letter and killed the messenger. After that, Wang Jian and Li Maozhen shined, and fought with the Fengxiang army to stabilize the situation.

At the same time, Shuofang, Xia Sui, Jingyuan and other towns and envoys rushed to the army one after another, and the Fengxiang official army was greatly boosted for a while.

It was in this situation that Li Ye led 100,000 Pinglu troops out of Qingzhou. He has been preparing for the army for half a year, and now everything is ready and unhurried. After the army entered Qizhou, it requisitioned and dispatched the Changhe Gang and other river gang cargo ships to transport troops, and went south along the water to Bianzhou.

After Li Ye arrived in Bianzhou, he ordered the army to camp outside the city of Bianzhou, and all the soldiers landed. Once here, the only way to go is by land. The 100,000 Pinglu army has 80,000 new troops and 20,000 old troops, accounting for 78 out of 10 of Pinglu's military strength, of which the number of cavalry is small, only 20,000, because there are not so many high-quality horse farms in Pinglu.

Bianzhou is the territory of the Xuanwu Army, Bianzhou is still some distance away from Guanzhong, there is no chaotic army here, and the Xuanwu Army has not surrendered.

In Bianzhou, Li Ye heard the news that Li Keyong borrowed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Tatar Department to join the Shatuo cavalry of the headquarters and go south to King Qin.

Li Ye led the Pinglu Army to the south, and the battle situation in Guanzhong was changing all the time.

At night, the big tent was brightly lit, Li Ye was observing the map, and Song Jiao took the latest news from the Tsing Yi Yamen and lifted the curtain to enter the tent.

"How is the battle situation in Guanzhong?" Li Ye asked when he saw Song Jiao entering the account.

Song Jiao was a little tired, her bewitching face was a little pale at the moment, and she didn't know how long she hadn't rested, which made her look a little more delicate, and now it was the time when the Tsing Yi Yamen was running at high speed, and all kinds of news from all directions were constantly converging, and she needed to sort it out in time.

"Zheng Zhen is defeated. Song Jiao opened her mouth concisely and said absolutely bad news.

Li Ye was not impatient, motioned for Song Jiao to sit down and said, he poured a bowl of water, handed it to the other party, returned to the handsome case and sat down, ready to listen attentively: "Tell me specifically." ”

Song Jiao put down the tea bowl after drinking the water, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Shuofang, Xia Sui, Jingyuan and other towns have made envoys to Fengxiang with their troops, Zheng Zheng has a big momentum, and Huang Chao was extremely angry at that time, and ordered Prime Minister Shang Rang to lead the main force of the rebels to attack Shang Rang for the third time. Zheng Ji set up an ambush in Longweipo, defeated Shang Rang, beheaded 200,000, and all the troops took advantage of the victory to pursue and approached Chang'an. ”

At that time, Wang Chongrong, the Yicheng Jiedu, and Tuoba Sigong were made by the Yicheng Jiedu, and Tuoba Sigong was made by the Xia Sui Jiedu, and the troops came one after another, only dozens of miles away from Chang'an, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Huang Chao was shocked and led his troops to evacuate Chang'an. At this time, Shuofang and Jingyuan Jiedu, who arrived first, rushed into Chang'an without notifying the latter, in order to avoid being shared by the later Hezhong, Yicheng and other armies. Their soldiers lacked restraint, and when they entered Chang'an City, they began to rape and plunder on a large scale, and they were in chaos. ”

Huang Chao learned the news and led his troops to kill back, but the officers and troops were caught off guard and defeated. Shuofang and Jingyuan Jiedu envoys died one after another. The soldiers and horses of Hezhong and Yicheng towns, hearing that Shuofang, Jingyuan and other armies were defeated, panicked, retreated together, and returned to the feudal town. As a result, Huang Chao once again sat firmly in Chang'an, the rebel army forces were more rampant, the towns were envoys, and there were more people who surrendered to him, and the Taoists of Zhongnan Mountain also gave Huang Chao the honorific title, called 'Chengtian Yingyun Qi Shengrui Wen Xuanwu Emperor'!"

After Li Ye heard this, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he really didn't know what to say.

Half a ring, he shook his head with a wry smile: "After this battle, the soldiers and horses in various towns retreated, Zheng Zheng suffered heavy losses, even if he had the intention to kill the thief, he was afraid that he would not be able to return to the sky, at most he could only shrink into Fengxiang." And the power of the Yellow Nest has been consolidated, and I am afraid that it will not fall for a while. ”

Song Jiao asked: "The situation is like this, what should we do?" The army came from afar, and the daily consumption of grain and grass was a huge amount, and the grain and straw were transported along the way, and the people ate a lot on the road. If the war goes on for a year or two, whether we win or not, Pinglu will be brought down. ”

Li Ye did not hesitate, "Of course we can't retreat." It is precisely because of the long distance that this time I retreated back, and the next time I came out, I consumed more grain and straw, and I also tossed it, which was not good for morale. As for the loss of grain along the way, it is not too serious because of the convenience of the water and the river. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ye paused for a moment: "Of course, we can't maintain the grain by ourselves, we have to let the feudal towns along the way supply it." ”

Song Jiao smiled bitterly: "It's not easy to get grain from the town. ”

Li Ye has a heart and a valley: "It's not difficult for them to be convinced." ”

Song Jiao's eyes lit up: "You have an idea?"

Li Ye said: "This idea is not difficult to think of. ”

Song Jiao's eyes rolled: "You want to fight?"

Li Ye said: "Defeating a strong enemy, you have a momentum and merit, and at the same time, you also show your own strength, and then ask the feudal town to give food, they are willing to give it, and if they don't want to give it, they have to give." ”

Song Jiao asked, "Who to hit?"

Li Ye said: "Zhu Wen." ”

Song Jiao was stunned, and quickly reacted, Zhu Wen is the leading figure, and she is the intelligence work of the Tsing Yi Yamen, and she records him in detail, she quickly poured beans and introduced Zhu Wen's details: "Zhu Wen, originally just a scoundrel, has three brothers, known as Zhu Asan." Since he was a child, his father died, and he followed his mother to send people under the fence, but he was lazy, did not do his job, stole the things of the master's family from time to time, and was often beaten and scolded by the master's family. ”

The master scolded him for not farming, but he said instead, "Only mediocre people know how to farm, and a good man should be ambitious, so I will farm for people all my life?" But the old mother of the master family took good care of him, and felt that Zhu Wen was not an ordinary person, so he was not driven away. When he became an adult, Zhu Wen asked the old mother of the main family for a bow and arrow, and went hunting in the mountains with his second brother when he had nothing to do. ”

Later, Huang Chao made an incident, and Zhu Wen said to his second brother that the eldest husband wants to achieve great things, either in the army or as a thief, and now the opportunity has come. His second brother thought he had a point, so he joined him in the Yellow Nest, leaving only the eldest brother to take care of his mother. ”

After following Huang Chao, Zhu Wen's performance was eye-catching, and he was quickly appreciated by Huang Chao, and he became the commander of the pro-army step by step, and made many military exploits. After Huang Chao occupied Chang'an, he first let Zhu Wentun soldiers Weiqiao, and later let him serve as the pioneer of the southeast camp. After he led his troops out of Tongguan, he attacked the city and plundered the land, rarely defeated, and now he has captured the important town of Dengzhou. ”

After saying this, Song Jiao concluded: "In short, Zhu Wen is a veteran general in the army, he became famous in bloody battles, and it is not easy to get along. ”

Li Ye didn't expect Song Jiao's intelligence work to be so meticulous, before he crossed over, he only knew that Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty and established the Later Liang Dynasty, and was the most prestigious hero in the late Tang Dynasty, so he smiled and said: "You can find out what happened to him when he was a child?"

Song Jiao raised her delicate little chin and said proudly: "There are our spies in Zhu Wen's army, when did he drink too much wine and not brag too much? Not only that, but I also know that Zhu Wen privately takes Liu Xiu as an example, and often talks about Liu Xiu's sentence 'Being an official is regarded as a ruling Jinwu, and marrying a wife is to marry Yin Lihua'. ”

According to Zhu Wen's second brother, when he was not a thief and was just a little splash, he fell in love with the daughter of Song Zhou's assassin and threatened to marry him in this life. Now Zhu Wen and his second brother have a very high status, his second brother has married a wife, but he doesn't, it is estimated that he will have to wait until he finds that woman. ”

Li Ye was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall to the ground: "There is still such a thing?"

Song Jiao glared at him and said, "Why can't there be such a thing? Do you suspect that the information I collected is not true?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. Li Ye laughed, and said seriously: "Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person, and what he does is not ordinary." ”

Song Jiao snorted coldly: "Then you still want to beat him?"

"Fight! Of course we have to fight!" Li Ye said firmly, "Now the chaotic army in the Central Plains is the strongest in Zhu Wen, who will you fight if you don't beat him? I'm not an old woman who eats persimmons, and picks and picks soft pinch." The reason why Zhu Wen captured Dengzhou was to guard against the official army going north from the direction of Xiangyang, as long as Zhu Wen was defeated, there would be no big enemy outside Tongguan, and when the time came, the soldiers and horses from all towns would be able to go straight to Guanzhong and go to Chang'an to fight a decisive battle with Huangchao!"

Song Jiao could see that Li Ye was serious, "Do you really want to fight?"

Li Ye nodded, got up and walked to the map, looked at it for a moment, and said: "If you want to fight Dengzhou, you need to pass through the territory of the Xuanwu Army, I heard that the Xuanwu Army has taken refuge in Huangchao?"

Song Jiao came to the map, stepped forward to take a few looks, and suddenly said with a smile: "If you really want to fight Zhu Wen, the Xuanwu Army can fight for it." Now the supervisor of the Xuanwu Army is Yang Fuguang, the eunuch who used to recruit Wang Xianzhi, don't look at him as a eunuch, but he is a loyal and courageous person. If you can meet Yang Fuguang, you may not be able to join forces with him to persuade the Xuanwu Army to stand on your side. ”

Li Ye was suspicious: "Xuanwu Jun is so easy to convince?"

Song Jiao rolled her eyes at Li Ye: "Although Xuanwu Jun has taken refuge in Huang Chao, does he have loyalty to Huang Chao at all? With the respect of King An, you will unite with Yang Fuguang with 100,000 strong troops, and it is not impossible to persuade him to be loyal to the imperial court. ”

Li Ye nodded: "In this case, let Liu Dazheng lead the army slowly, Shangguan Allure will lead the elite cavalry to respond, you and I will go to Xuzhou to see Yang Fuguang." ”
