v3 Chapter 1： Duty king

In the spring of the first year of neutrality, Li Yan stood in front of the Qingzhou City Tower, facing the southwest, and extended from his sight, which is the hinterland of the Central Plains.

There is a lot of fighting there. After Huang Chao's conquest of Chang'an, many towns in Guanzhong surrendered. There were many people in the counties and counties. But in the Central Plains, there were people who were not so loyal to the Tang Dynasty but refused to surrender to Huang Chao.

The spring breeze greeted him, blowing his hair and hair, Li Yan's eyes were deep, his face was normal, and he never said anything. Behind him a few steps away, different temperaments but beautiful beautiful young and young command, one left and one right to stand guard.

In front of Li Yan, on the vast ground outside the city of Qingzhou, the 100,000 army is being divided between the enemy and ours. During the battle array exercise, the number of people exceeds 10,000, and there is no limit. The 100,000 army can not see the end at a glance. The sound of troopers 'footsteps, the rumbling of horses' hoofs, mixed with shouting and killing sounds, such as the sound of waves, the earth moving, the tide-like smoke rolling around, covering the sky.

Xu Xun, Tsing Yi's chief commander, Song Jiao, dressed in a purple robe of Tuen Hua, walked with enchanting and charming steps, and passed by his grandfather's life, his fingers slightly moved Bai Lian out of his sleeve, Song Jiao Liu Mei raised her head, but did not turn her head.

Li Xun watched the army exercise, and did not ignore Song Jiao approaching. He stepped back two steps, sat on the wide and gorgeous tiger-skin collapse, leaned over the small case, and asked without looking squintingly: "What happened? ? "

Song Jiao's voice was lazy, revealing attractive charm, and smiled sweetly: "Before leaving Fengxiang, His Majesty gave Feng Xiang Jiedushi Zheng Zheng, now he is the commander of all military camps on all sides of Beijing. All the soldiers and horses in the world are subject to his restraint, and His Majesty's decree appointing you as the east camp is already on the way. "

"Feng Xiang's degree made Zheng Zheng? This person has some impressions, but his reputation was not so significant. How can he get military power this time? Tell me about the details." Li Zheng frowned slightly.

Song Jiao's mouth moved slightly. "Yang Chao broke through Tongguan a year ago, Tian Lingzi led the magical army to ride five thousand fine horses, and guarded the road to the west. When passing by Feng Xiang, Jieduo led the shogunate officials and generals to Luogu to welcome him. Zheng Zheng asked His Majesty to stay in Fengxiang and command the town's soldiers and horses to discuss the thief. His Majesty did not agree. Zheng Ye said to His Majesty that the middle of Shu is remote and the road is not smooth. Give it to the minister so that you can act on it. "

Li Yan laughed: "This guy is very likely to come. Needless to say, His Majesty handed over his military power to Zheng Ye, and then went west into Shu. However, Feng Xiang is not far from Chang'an, and a million chaotic troops are in front of him. Feng Xiang Army How dare the generals take up the task of asking thieves at this time? "

Song Jiao laughed: "At first Zheng Zheng convened the generals of the ministry. The generals were naturally unwilling. Zheng Qi was furious and yelled that he couldn't stop the rebel. He was stunned. He woke up, but he couldn't move, he couldn't even speak, but he kept crying. The generals saw Zheng Ye being so loyal and could not help but be moved by him and expressed his willingness to serve him. So Zheng Ye jumped and Since then, he has made alliances with the generals and said that the people's hearts are still there, and the rebels will perish. "

After listening to this, Li Yan couldn't help laughing, but looked utterly surprised. People in this era generally have a higher conscience than the earth in the Era of the Last Law, but it can also be seen that Zheng Ye still has some means. Inquired that the work was also good.

By the time Li Li appointed Li Ji as the ambassador to the east, he ordered his troops to attack Huang Chao and was sent to Qingzhou.

After Huang Chao ascended the throne in Changan, he sent the prime minister to let the leader attack. However, Wang Jian and Li Maozhen, who were left in Fengxiang ’s strategic army, would defeat them together with Feng Xiang. Afterwards, Huang Chao sent people to surrender Zheng Zheng, but instead was Zheng Zheng. Shred the letter and kill the messenger. After that, Wang Jian and Li Maozhen shined brightly and joined the company with Feng Xiangjun to stabilize the situation.

At the same time, towns such as Shuo Fang, Xia Sui, and Liaoyuan sent their soldiers one after another, and Fengxiang's officers and men suddenly gained momentum.

It was under this circumstance that Li Wei led a hundred thousand Ping Lu army to leave Qingzhou. He has been preparing for the troop for half a year, and now he has everything in place and is not in a hurry. After the army entered Qizhou, it dispatched long river gangs and other river gang cargo ships to transport soldiers, and went south to Shuzhou to Luzhou.

After Li Zhi arrived in Luzhou, he ordered the army to camp outside the city of Luzhou, and all the soldiers landed. When you get here, you can only go on land. One hundred thousand Pinglu army, 80,000 new army, 20,000 old army, occupy 78% of the Pinglu army, of which the number of cavalry is small, only 20,000, because there are not so many high quality horse farms in Pinglu.

Luzhou is the territory of Xuanwu Army. Luzhou is still a long way from Guanzhong. There is no chaotic army and Xuanwu Army has not surrendered.

In Luzhou, Li Ye heard the news that Li Ke used the troops of the army to hire tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to join the Shato Cavalry in the headquarters and head south to the ground.

The way Li Jun led Ping Lu Jun to the south, the battle situation in Guanzhong was constantly changing.

At night, the big account was brightly lit, Li Li was watching the map, and Song Jiao took the latest news from Tsing Yi Jianmen to lift the curtain into the account.

"How is the battle in Guanzhong?" Li Yan asked Song Jiao when he saw it.

Song Jiao was slightly tired, her charming face was a little pale at the moment, and I didn't know how long she hadn't rested, which made her look a little weaker. Now is the time when Tsing Yi Yamen is operating at a high speed. The news is constantly coming together, and she needs to sort it out in time.

"Zheng Ye was defeated." Song Jiaoyan said concisely, saying an absolutely bad news.

Li Huan was not impatient, and signaled Song Jiao to sit down and say that he poured a bowl of water, handed it to the other party, and sat down after returning to the handsome case, ready to listen carefully: "Specifically."

After Song Jiao drank the water, he lowered the tea bowl and relieved his breath. "Shuo Fang, Xia Sui, Liaoyuan, and other towns envoys, led the soldiers to Feng Xiang, Zheng Zheng burst into a rage. At that time, Huang Chao was very angry, and ordered the prime minister to give up. , Led the main force of the chaos, and attacked Shang Jang for the third time. Zheng Zheng set up an ambush on the **** of the dragon tail, defeated Shang Jie, beheaded 200,000, and the various departments pursued the victory and approached Changan.

"At that time, Jiedushi in the river envoy Wang Chongrong, Yicheng Jiedushi envoy Wang Chucun, Xia Sui Jiedushi envoy Tuoba Shougong, and the army arrived one after another, only a few tens of miles away from Chang'an, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Huang Chao was astonished. He led the troops to evacuate from Chang'an. At this time, Shuo Fang and Liaoyuan Jiedu, who were one step ahead of them, were given credit to the army, such as Hezhong and Yicheng, who did not inform the latter. .Their soldiers lacked restraint, and after entering Changan City, they began to arrogantly-licentious, chaotic. "

"Huang Chao heard the news and led his troops back. The official army was caught off guard and defeated. Shuo Fang and Liaoyuan Jiede successively killed each other. The soldiers and horses in the rivers and Yicheng towns heard the defeat of Shuo Fang and Liaoyuan. Together, they retreated and returned to the town of Fan. As a result, Huang Chao once again settled in Chang'an, and the forces of chaos were even more mad. The towns made more and surrendered to him, and the Taoists in Nanshan finally gave Huang Chao a homage. , Called 'The Emperor Chengwen should enlighten the Emperor Shengwen Wenxuanwu'! "

After listening to these, Li Min had mixed tastes in his heart, and he really didn't know what to say.

At half a moment, he shook his head with a bitter smile: "After this battle, the soldiers and horses of the towns returned, Zheng Zheng suffered heavy losses. Even if he was willing to kill the thief, he was afraid that he would not be able to return to the sky. At most, he could only shrink Fengxiang. The power of Huang Chao was consolidated I'm afraid it won't die for a while. "

Song Jiao asked: "This is the situation, what should we do? The army came from a long distance, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is a huge number. When the grain was transported along the way, the husband had eaten a lot on the road. In the past two years, Pinglu Although there is a lot of grain storage, we cannot afford to consume it like this. If the war continues for a year or two, regardless of whether we win, Pinglu will be overwhelmed. "

Li Zheng didn't hesitate, "Of course we can't retreat. Because of the long distance, this time I went back and came back next time. I consumed more grain and food, and also tossed, which is not good for morale. As the grain and food is depleted along the way, there is water and rivers. Help, not too serious. "

Speaking of this, Li Min paused for a moment: "Of course, the grain bun cannot be maintained by ourselves all the time, and the towns along the way must be supplied."

Song Jiao smiled bitterly: "It is easier said than done in order to produce food in Fanfan Town."

Li Yan has Qiu Yan in his chest: "It is not difficult for them to convince themselves."

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

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

Song Jiao's eyes rolled around: "Are you going to fight?"

Li Yan said: "Being able to defeat a strong enemy will have a strong performance, and at the same time also show their own force, and then asked the town to give food, they are willing to give or not."

Song Jiao asked: "Who hit?"

Li Yan said: "Zhu Wen."

Song Jiao shuddered, and soon reacted. Zhu Wen was the chief figure, using intelligence work in Tsing Yi. She recorded it in detail. She quickly poured beans and introduced Zhu Wen's details: "Zhu Wen, originally only He is a rogue and has three brothers, known as Zhu Asan. Since his childhood, his father died, followed by his mother, sent to the fence, but laziness, unprofessional work, and theft from the main house from time to time.

"The host scolded him for not planting land. Instead, he said that mediocre people know how to plant land. Good boys should have ambitions. Do I have to plant land for life? But the host's mother took care of him and felt that Zhu Wen was not. Ordinary people, he was not driven away. As an adult, Zhu Wen asked his host's mother for a deputy bow and arrow, and went hunting in the mountains with his second brother when nothing happened, but he went back with a full load.

"Later, Huang Chao raised the matter, Zhu Wen told his second brother that his big husband would have to accomplish a great job, either to join the army or to steal, and now the opportunity came. His second brother thought he was justified, so he voted with him and left only Big Brother takes care of his mother. "

"After following Huang Chao, Zhu Wen's performance was eye-catching, and he was soon appreciated by Huang Chao. He gradually became a pro-military leader and repeatedly made great achievements. After occupying Chang'an, Huang Chao first let Zhu Wentun soldiers and Weiqiao, and later he became the pioneer of southeast camp. After he led his troops out of Tongguan, he siege the city, seldom defeated, and now he has captured the important town of Dengzhou. "

After these remarks, Song Jiao concluded: "In short, Zhu Wen is a general in the army, he became famous in the blood, and it is not easy to get along. Now he is in succession, he is gaining momentum, and there are many soldiers and horses. He wants to fight He is not easy. "

Li Min did not expect Song Jiao's intelligence work to be so detailed. Before crossing, he only knew that Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty and established the Houliang Dynasty, which was the most prestigious hero in the late Tang Dynasty. He laughed: "You can check everything about him as a child. Arrived? "

Song Jiao raised her exquisite little chin and proudly said, "Zhu Wenjun has our spies. When did he drink too much wine and not brag? These words were all heard by my people. Not only that, I also know that Zhu Wen privately uses Liu Xiu as an example, and often hangs Liu Xiu's phrase, "As an official, as a Jinwu, marrying a wife to marry Yin Lihua."

"According to Zhu Wen's second brother, he was not a thief, but when he was just a little bit, he looked at the daughter of Songzhou Tashi Shi and threatened to marry in this life. Now Zhu Wen and his second brother are both very high status. Brother married, but he didn't, presumably to wait to find that woman. "

Li Min was so shocked that his jaw would fall to the ground: "Such a thing like this?"

Song Jiao stared at him: "Why can't this happen? Do you suspect that the information I collected is not true?"

"Dare not dare." Li Yan laughed, and finally said earnestly: "It really is not an ordinary person, and it is not ordinary."

Song Jiao snorted coldly: "Then you still hit him?"

"Hit! Of course!" Li Xingdu affirmed. "Now the rioters in the Central Plains are Zhu Wen's strongest. Who doesn't hit him? I'm not an old lady who eats persimmons and picks soft pinches. The reason why Zhu Wen The capture of Dengzhou was to guard against the officers and men heading north from Xiangyang. As long as Zhu Wen and Tongguan were destroyed, there would be no major enemy. When the towns and horses gathered in the town, they would go straight into Guanzhong and go to Changan and Huang Chao. "

Song Jiao saw that Li Yan was serious, "Do you really want to fight?"

Li Zheng nodded, got up and walked to the map, looked for a moment, and said, "To hit Dengzhou, you need to go through the site of the Zhongwu Army. I heard that the Zhongwu Army has taken refuge in Huang Chao?"

Song Jiao came to the map, took a closer look, and suddenly smiled and said, "If you really want to fight Zhu Wen, the Zhongwu Army can fight for it. Now the Zhongwu Army's supervisor is the **** who once recruited Wang Xianzhi. Yang Fuguang, don't look at him as a shy man, but he is a loyal and loyal person. If you can meet Yang Fuguang, you may not be able to join forces with him and convince the Zhongwu Army Jiedushi to stand on your side. "

Li Min suspected: "The Zhongwu army is so persuasive?"

Song Jiao glared at Li Yan: "Although the loyal Wuzhong has taken refuge in Huang Chao, can he be loyal to Huang Chao? But just last year, when Huang Chao passed Zhongwu, he gave him the way. You respect King An, bring One hundred thousand strong brigade, in conjunction with Yang Fuguang, is not impossible to convince him to be loyal to the court. "

Li Zheng nodded: "In this case, let Liu Dazheng lead the army slowly, Shangguan Qingcheng led the ride and responded, you and I take a trip to Xuzhou to see Yang Fuguang."
