Chapter 143: Meng Jin's Night Rain Says the World

The second year of Qianfu was not stable for Datang.

Overnight, it seemed that the entire Datang Dynasty was in turmoil.

Wang Xianzhi gathered people to oppose the Tang Dynasty, Wang Ying invaded the coast, Li Maoxun expelled Lu Longjiedu to make Zhang Gongsu, the northwest Uighurs were unstable, and the southwest and Nanzhao used troops,......

And this kind of turbulence, which spanned the New Year of the second year of Qianfu and came to the third year of Qianfu, seems to have a tendency to intensify.

In March, Nanzhao used troops again.

In April, the Wonju army rioted.

In May, King Zhao was killed.

In June, Fu Wang Hongxue

In July, the king of Ewang Runxue ......

In June, the ground in Xiongzhou cracked, the water gushed out, and the private houses of the whole city were gone......

Of course, among these natural and man-made disasters, the most touching one is the Jianghu Grandmaster Wang Xianzhi......

In the third year of the dry spell, on the twenty-ninth day of July, on the night.

Heavy rain fell from the sky.

Henan Road, Mengjin Gudu, is located in the north of the Yellow River, although it belongs to the jurisdiction of the three cities of Heyang, but it is the most important water and land checkpoint in the northeast direction of the eastern capital, it is called "Luoyang Eight Passes", it has always been a place where soldiers must fight, at the same time, it is also one of the most important ferries on Henan Road to communicate the north and south of the Yellow River, and it is naturally very prosperous.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the Yellow River never crosses at night", coupled with the heavy rain falling from the sky, the pedestrians and businessmen stranded on the north bank of the Yellow River were forced to Mengjindu.

The powerful officials naturally live in the Mengjin official post, with fine wine, delicious food, and maybe beauties.

Those who have no money and no power, naturally scattered around the official post inn wine shop, drink two sips of muddy wine to get rid of moisture, listen to the rivers and lakes travelers who go south and north, and can also spend a boring and comfortable rainy night in the dim light.

Fulai Inn is not big in Mengjindu, but the price is fair, the wine and food are clean, the reputation is not bad, and on this rainy night, it naturally accommodates a lot of guests.

One of the rough men, speaking with a Heshuo accent, said in a loud voice:

"If you want to say that this Jianghu Grandmaster, Wang Xianzhi Hero, is really powerful, he has gathered tens of thousands of people under his command in just a year and a half, and has fought hundreds of miles in the north and south, without a single defeat, he can be called invincible, it is really a long face for me and other people in the rivers and lakes, I can't say anything else, I should float a big white ......"

This is the most popular opening sentence of Jianghu Ranger now, as if mentioning Wang Xianzhi, he can also share the glory, so that others will look down on him, obviously, this Heshuo man also thinks so.

It's just that this opening remark is destined to be a little out of place today.

As soon as Heshuo's voice fell, someone next to him sneered.

"Brother, when did you hear this?"

"How?"

"At the end of last year, the imperial court edict army encircled and suppressed, with Song Wei sending the old general as the head of the camp, and Wang Xianzhi had already broken in Yizhou a month ago...... I haven't tasted defeat, but I can't do it......"

"Then what's the matter?" Heshuo man's face turned red, but he said with strong words, "Although Wang Daxia has been lost for a while, his strength has not been lost, isn't this all the way west, and he is about to attack the eastern capital......?" To tell you the truth, we rushed from Chengde and crossed the Yellow River, just to take refuge in Wang Daxia and conspire with him!"

After the Heshuo man finished speaking, the other party stopped talking.

This is going to be a thief!

After crossing the Yellow River, aren't they vicious thieves?

If he talks too much now, it will provoke him to rise, maybe he will have to take five steps to splatter blood when he draws out the long knife, who will still raise the bar with him?

Not only did the sneering man stop talking, but the other drinkers were also quiet, especially the drinkers next to the Heshuo man, who deliberately sat out.

When the Heshuo man saw this, he was even more arbitrary, laughed, drained the muddy wine in front of him in one gulp, and loudly beckoned Xiao Er to serve him wine.

He didn't notice that in the corner of the inn, there was a young man who glanced at him vaguely and kept his appearance firmly in his heart.

This young man is none other than Yang Fenglou.

Since August 19 of the second year of Qianfu, he experienced many difficulties in Shenzhou and completed the task of Boling Cui's Qingyunmen, Yang Fenglou took Guihe Ban to be stationed in Chengde Zhenzhou, after more than half a year of hard work, he only through the relationship between Song Hao and Zhaojun Li's family, hitched on the line of important ministers in the court, and after several mediations, he finally got the task of coming to Henan Province to face Wang Xianzhi, and then made many preparations, and after another half a year, Yang Fenglou took Guihe Ban and set foot on the land of Henan Province.

This time, Guiheban came to Henan Province, and on the surface, he was invited by Yingyang Zheng, one of the seven families with five surnames, to perform Peking Opera.

Yang Fenglou and Guiheban were separated in Heyang City, and Guiheban was to go to Zhengzhou, while Yang Fenglou was to cross the Yellow River in Mengjin and go to Yangzhai, who was facing Wang Xianzhi head-on.

Unexpectedly, in this small Mengjin Du Fulai Inn, he actually met a person from the rivers and lakes who wanted to take refuge in Wang Xianzhi, and if he couldn't say anything else, Yang Fenglou would naturally keep him firmly in his mind.

After remembering the face of this Heshuo man, Yang Fenglou let out a long sigh - he knew that it was useless to just remember this Heshuo man, even if he was killed, there would be more Jianghu men who would throw themselves into Wang Xianzhi's rebellious Tang team.

Just because, Wang Xianzhi's momentum is getting bigger and bigger.

In this, of course, there is a reason why he is a grandmaster of the rivers and lakes and has a strong appeal in the rivers and lakes.

The more important reason is that Datang's response to the rebels is really embarrassing.

Originally, at the end of last year, Wang Xianzhi Kou Yizhou, Pinglu Jiedu envoy Song Wei, asked for instructions on the table, to practice 5,000 infantry and cavalry for an army, and also took all the soldiers of Henan Province to Yizhou to beg for thieves.

The court was very happy.

The Son of Heaven sealed Song Wei to recruit grass thieves for the camp of Zhudao, commanded a group of men and horses in Henan, and allocated 3,000 forbidden troops and 500 horsemen, all of which were under the command of Song Wei and ordered him to beg for thieves.

Song Wei commanded tens of thousands of troops, and in July of the third year of Qianfu, he broke Wang Xianzhi under the city of Yizhou.

If Song Wei could chase and fight fiercely, maybe Wang Xianzhi and the thieves would have been pacified by now.

However, this "famous" old general, after the First World War, actually lied that Wang Xianzhi had died in the chaos!

Not only that, but he also dismissed his men and horses on the spot!

With his own army, he ran back to Qingzhou in a mighty way, waiting for the addition of an official to the knight!

This gave Wang Xianzhi a chance to breathe, and it only took him and Huang Chao and others three days to reconvene the scattered soldiers and horses, and took advantage of the gap between Song Wei and the disbanding of the armies, all the way west, to the eastern capital Luoyang.

By the time Song Wei reacted, Wang Xianzhi had already jumped out of the encirclement and threatened Ruzhou with his troops in Yangzhai.

The court was greatly shaken, and the princes even shouted the slogan "Song Wei should be killed if he misled the country", but it was useless, so he had to remobilize his troops and horses to defend Luoyang.

Ordered the loyal martial arts to make Cui Anqian and meet Wang Xianzhi in Yangzhai.

Ordered Cao Xiang, the envoy of Zhaoyi Jiedu, to lead 5,000 infantry cavalry and Yicheng army to defend the Eastern Capital Palace, and appointed Zeng Yuanyu, a regular attendant of the left scattered cavalry, as the deputy envoy to recruit and be fully responsible for the defense of Luoyang.

Li Fu, the envoy of the eastern province of Shannan, chose to ride 2,000 steps, and stationed in Ru and Deng Yaolu.

Ordered Li Kan and Feng Xiang to make Fox to choose 1,000 infantry and 500 cavalry to guard Shaanzhou and Tongguan.

......

Originally, Wang Xianzhi was surrounded and suppressed by heavy troops near the left in Yizhou, but now it has become a heavy defense of Luoyang, the eastern capital, no matter how the court deploys troops and generals, it is difficult to hide the embarrassment of losing strategic advantages.

To put it mildly, although Song Wei won a war, he lost the strategic advantage of the whole country!

Wang Xianzhi's arrogance is naturally even more arrogant, and it is not surprising that people in the rivers and lakes like this Heshuo man are ready to defect to the rebels.

"Bang Dang ......"

Just when Yang Fenglou was thinking wildly, the door of the Fulai Inn opened, and a figure, carrying the wind and rain outside the house, walked into the Fulai Inn with it.

Wearing a gossip robe, a five-beam crown on his head, holding a long pole, a long sail on the pole, and two lines of small characters on it, "I know five hundred years before, and five hundred years after I know", and there are four big characters - "Iron mouth straight break"!

Yang Fenglou looked at it and was happy.

Isn't this a charlatan? (To be continued.) )
