Chapter 26: The Observer of Yuezhou
In the whole territory of Datang, rumors are flying, but Tang Zhangwei has no intention of entering Shuzhong.
Tang Xizong, who was staying in Xichuan, also put his mind at ease, but Tian Lingzi said to Tang Xizong: "Now that the world is in turmoil, we can test Tang Zhangwei and ask him to send troops to recover the Central Plains." If he really led his troops north, it means that he is a loyal minister, and if he does not send troops, it means that he has a second heart. ”
At this time, Tang Xizong, the son of polo, was surprisingly calm, he said: "Father, if Tang Zhangwei doesn't send troops, do we have to turn against them?" ”
Tian Lingzi was speechless, and Tang Xizong said: "Father, we should wait and see what happens, and don't stimulate Tang Zhangwei for the time being."
Tian Lingzi was very annoyed by the rumors that Lu Zhiyi, the eunuch who was not allowed to return to Guanzhong. However, the Huangchao rebel army still occupied Chang'an.
The eunuch Lu Zhiyi had an armed army, and they were stationed in the Sagashan Mountains outside the city, and often entered Chang'an to attack and kill the soldiers and officials of the Great Qi.
Huang Chao had no choice about this army, he just had to step up the rumors and intensify the contradiction between the eunuch Lu Zhiyi and Tian Lingzi's father-in-law.
Tian Lingzi was particularly jealous of the eunuch Lu Zhiyi, and he secretly ordered Wang Xingyu to get rid of Lu Zhiyi.
After receiving the order, Wang Xingyu felt embarrassed, he said: "Although the eunuch Lu Zhiyu is arrogant, he is a good man, he has no fault in fighting with Huangchao, I killed him, isn't it a shame for the heroes of the world?" ”
At this time, Wang Chongrong, the envoy of the Hezhong Jiedu, and Wang Xingyu, the envoy of the Suining Jiedu, met with each other, and they discussed the matter together. Tang Yanqian, deputy envoy of Wang Chongrong, said: "Regarding Tian Lingzi's various evil deeds, the court officials dare not speak out. If the two of them are like Tang Zhangwei, who listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement, then they can ignore it, otherwise they can only act according to the plan. ”
Wang Xingyu, the envoy of the Suining Festival, said: "Then you can only kill the eunuch Lu Zhiyi." ”
Tang Yanqian nodded and said, "Sometimes, in order to achieve great things, the eldest husband can only do things that he is unwilling to do. ”
Wang Xingyu approached Chang'an with his troops, and he invited the eunuch Lu Zhiyi to come.
The eunuch Lu Zhiyi didn't know that there was a fraud in it, so he came, and the two drank together and talked about how to recover Chang'an.
Wang Xingyu, the envoy of the Suining Festival, asked the eunuch Lu Zhiyi: "Where is Cheng Zongchu, the envoy of the Jingyuan Festival?" ”
The eunuch Lu Zhiyi said: "Jingyuan Jiedu made Cheng Zongchu was captured by Huangchao, we entered Chang'an as soon as possible, and Jingyuan Jiedu made Cheng Zongchu maybe there was still salvation." ”
Wang Xingyu, the envoy of the Suining Festival, said: "Tang Xizong has an order, and Lu Zhiyi takes the order. ”
The eunuch Lu Zhiyi had to kneel, and the Ning Jiedu made Wang Xingyu draw out the sword, which was a sword.
The eunuch Lu Zhizhi was dumbfounded, and he asked, "General, why is this?" ”
Wang Xingyu, the envoy of the Suining Festival, said: "I have to carry out the will of the father-in-law of Tian Lingzi, you ask Tian Lingzi to go." ”
At the same time, Wang Chongrong, the envoy of the river festival, also led troops to surround the eunuch Cao Zhiyi's troops.
Wang Chongrong sent his generals to kill all the subordinates of the eunuch Cao Zhiyi and capture Cao Zhiyi.
Cao Zhiyi said: "I am not afraid of death, but I hate to see Chang'an." ”
He was often ashamed of Confucianism and sent it to the place where the king was honored by the river festival.
Wang Chongrong beheaded Cao Zhiyi, packed his head in a box, sealed it with lime, and sent it to Zhongguan Tian Lingzi.
Tian Lingzi Dayue, preaching left and right, said: "If you say a word, the world will be shocked!" ”
When Tang Xizong heard this, he said: "These two eunuchs are both loyal ministers, so why do they rebel against their father. ”
After Tang Zhangwei returned from Bohai State, he immediately sent 20,000 elite soldiers to the Central Plains battlefield.
This news reassured Tang Xizong's heart a lot, and at the same time, it also made Huang Chao very dissatisfied.
Huang Chao orders his own dark stake to start the action, and he wants to solve the problem with assassination.
The Jingyuan Festival of the Tang Dynasty made Cheng Zongchu captured, and Huang Chao respected him as a man, so he imprisoned him for a while, hoping that he would soften and use it for his own use.
Unexpectedly, this person did not eat soft and hard. Cheng Zongchu, the envoy of Jingyuan Jiedu, wrote down with emotion, "The Tang generals in the north will receive the grace of the country, and the king will do his duty." Wang Shi waved his army to break Chang'an, and the generals sat back and watched not enter the pass. When the king comes, he dares to laugh at Huang Chao and not his husband. The state affairs are in such turmoil, why should I regret this? ”
Huang Chao sent someone to persuade him to surrender, and he said: "I smiled at the sky with my sword, and went to save the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun." ”
Huang Chao sighed and said, "Since General Zong Chuke is bent on death, I will fulfill him." So, Zong Chuke was beheaded in the downtown and executed the punishment of car splitting, and everyone who saw it was sad and wept.
The infantry commander of Daqi, Huang Chao's younger brother Huang Kui, said: "Brother Huang, you shouldn't kill this loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Huang Chao rebuked him angrily and said, "If I don't kill them, will I let these guys kill me?" Whoever does not serve me, I will be killed! ”
Tang Zhangwei began to set up soup kitchens in the border areas.
Tang Zhangwei came to the border of Henan Province, and he led 80,000 troops to this place.
The entire Shannan Dongdao was mobilized, here is at the junction with Henan Mansion, the whole world is looking forward to Tang Zhangwei leading his troops north to recover the Central Plains, at this time Huangchao, under the attack of the Tang Dynasty officials, has been unable to gain a foothold in Guanzhong, he began to send to various places to make the prison army have been watched by the generals of the feudal town have been cut off their heads, and the living are also embarrassed to flee.
Zhu Wen was sent to defend Tongzhou, and Huang Chao sent Zhu Wen west to Xingping to defend against the armies of Sui, Qi, Dun, Xia and other places.
Huang Chao sent the prison army to Yan Shi to take Yin Liang and the beauty to comfort Zhu Wen, and Zhu Wen was overjoyed.
Huang Chao appointed Zhu Wen as the defense envoy of Tongzhou, and he fought several battles with Wang Chongrong, the envoy of the Jiedu in the river, and defeated Wang Chongrong's troops.
However, Yang Fuguang, the Zhongwu Commander, led Chen and Cai soldiers to fight martial arts, and Wang Chongrong and united, and they defeated Huang Chaoyong's general Li Shen in Huazhou and regained a firm foothold.
Zhu Wen and Shang Rang, as well as Huang Ye, led the crowd from Huayin to attack Wang Chongrong. At the same time, the prime minister of Huangchao still let the troops to attack, and Zhu Wen put the strong troops in front, and they defeated the Chongrong soldiers at the West Gate.
The Huangchao army sent troops to Xiayang and plundered dozens of Caomi ships in the river, which relieved the urgent need of the Great Qi army in Chang'an.
For a time, Shuzhong shook. The Tang Dynasty's small court in Xichuan was also crumbling.
Huang Chao said proudly: "Tang Jun, it's just a moment of pride, and now the luck of the Tang Dynasty has declined." I
Tang Xizong had to seal his daughters Princess Tang Xing and Princess Yongping, and his sister Princess Suining, and ordered Tang Zhangwei and Li Keyong and others to immediately send troops to rescue.
In order to let Tang Zhangwei send troops as soon as possible, he also ordered his sister Princess Suining to marry Tang Zhangwei.
Tian Lingzi married the Tang princess for his righteous son Wang Jianying, and he said to Tang Xizong: "Your Majesty, isn't it too much to send your sister to marry the little boy Tang Zhangwei?" ”
Tang Xizong, the son of polo, narrowed his eyes and said: "If you are in a hurry and obey the power, don't be surprised!" I just used an unfavored princess to let the little boy Tang Zhangwei know the righteousness of the monarch and the minister. ”
