Chapter 821: Encounter

(Thank you for poisoning you ten thousand times, No. 9 Sky, Kuaihe, People Under the Sycamore, Dongshan Jushi 19 and other support, thank you!) )

When Li Keyong was plotting to "resurrect", Zhu Wen was not idle. He was sitting in the Xuanwu Festival Hall in Yacheng, Bianzhou, urgently discussing important matters with the generals.

Zhu Wen, who was the same year as Li Jing, was not tall, just medium height, very even, but his head was slightly bigger, in his own words, he lost his father and his family was poor when he was young, and he couldn't eat enough, but his body didn't grow up, and he grew a head.

Zhu Wen had already held an emergency meeting with the generals for more than two hours, not for anything else, just because the Great Qi Empire seemed to be in some big trouble. I just received the news that Emperor Huang Chao of Great Qi had led the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong to evacuate Chang'an, and set a fire before leaving, burning Yaoshi Chang'an. Now Zheng Zheng is leading the Guanzhong coalition army to chase and fight, and Emperor Huangchao has begun to wander with soldiers and horses again. In all fairness, Zhu Wen was not loyal to Huang Chao at all.

Although he is now a general under Huang Chao and a marshal, he was an official and an army at the beginning, and he worked under Li Jing, the most dazzling Qin king today. Huang Chao is too far behind Li Jing, even if Huang Chao claims to be a lonely widow and ascends the throne as emperor, this can't change his identity as a smuggler and a disciple. No matter how his army changed from the grass army to the righteous army and then to the Qi army, it still couldn't change the fact that the vast majority of this army were grass bandits and thieves.

But then again, although the Qin army is good, after all, he has already left the Qin army, and there is no room for him there. But Huang Chao trusted him very much, at least gave him a chance to stand alone. In Zhu Wen's words, a place that can accommodate itself is a good place. It's better to be a grass coward than to die.

Zhu Zhen, deputy envoy of Xuanwu Festival. It was the sworn brother who had died with Zhu Wen at the beginning. When Li Jing was in the Zhenguo Army, they were already comrades-in-arms. So I'm used to talking casually, and it seems that being a deputy marshal hasn't changed anything.

Zhu Zhen said: "This dog's day is a waste, and Huangchao is not a good thing, and it is useless to go home." When he entered Guanzhong with an army of 300,000, he was not in a hurry to pursue and destroy the little emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but he was eager to claim the throne in Chang'an. Hundreds of thousands of rural grass cowards who have never seen the world are all blinded as soon as they enter Chang'an. His mother did everything except rob his property. It is to be the first to commit adultery with a woman. If they had a little brain, not to mention that the emperor and the court of the Tang Dynasty had been destroyed, at least the towns in Guanzhong would have been defeated one by one. As a result, people pretended to surrender, and they really believed it like pigs, I-fuck, a bunch of idiots. As a result, in the blink of an eye, the world has joined forces to kill 100,000 people, and Chang'an has not yet lived. It's time to run for your life. ”

"The marshal has actually given the emperor a long time ago, and he asked him to take advantage of the victory to expand the results. But as a result, they went to Chang'an, how could they still think of us? Now that his mother's Chang'an can't stay any longer, he wants us to help him block the Henan and Kwantung coalition forces, and his 300,000 troops can't stop the 100,000 coalition troops in Guanzhong, what can we do in Henan? At the beginning of the Battle of Xuzhou, several times sent urgent reports to Chang'an to send troops to support, but a soldier and a half soldiers were transferred? Sima Zhu Cun, the marching army in Xuanwu Town, also scolded his mother.

"What kind of emperor does this dog look like? is a smuggler of salt, even if he wears a dragon robe, he is still just a straw robe. The heart is not ambitious, and the rabble. Let's continue to follow them for our lives, and sooner or later there will be no way out. In my opinion, let's just learn from Zhuge Shuang and Wang Chongrong, and also announce the change of flag, anyway, it will be Tang Dynasty. Zhu Zhen said.

Zhu Wen frowned and said: "We are not as good as Zhuge Shuang and Wang Chongrong, they are Tang generals." Although we have also followed Li Jing, we can be regarded as Tang Jun, but this fucking old Huang Li is old. Besides, even if we want to return to Tang now, we don't usually burn incense, so we will carry a pig's head and can't find the mountain gate? ”

Strategist Xie Tong snorted and said with a wry smile: "Even if the handsome man really wants to return to Tang, I'm afraid that Li Jing won't tolerate it." We now have Bianzheng Erzhou, but to the east are several vassal towns of Li Jing, the three towns of Tianping Army, Yicheng Army, and Xuanwu Army, and further east, Huanghuai Shandong, are Li Jing's territory, and even north of the Yellow River, most of them are also attributed to Li Jing. The marshal returned to Tang, even if Li Tang Tianzi agreed, but if Li Jing could not accommodate it, if he sent troops to attack, I was afraid that we would be able to resist it. At that time, if Huang Chao also sent troops to attack behind him, then the handsome man would not be a person inside and out, and he would really fight alone. ”

Zhu Wen's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, what Xie Tong said was right, if Li Jing didn't buy the emperor's account, his return to Tang would be meaningless. "Then Mr. Xie means to continue to follow Huang Chao? But Huang Chao also looked at the grasshopper after the autumn, and it didn't take long to jump. Follow him, and it won't end well. ”

Another strategist, Hu Zhen, said with a smile on the side: "Dashuai is indeed right, Huangchao will never be able to achieve great things, and it will only get worse and worse in the future." However, I thought that it was not appropriate for the big handsome to be too anxious to make a decision at the moment. In today's situation, if you have soldiers in hand, you don't panic, as long as there are elite soldiers under the commander, whether it is Huang Chao or Li Yi, or Li Jing, they have to think about it. In the future, it is better to stand still for the time being, wait quietly, and wait until a critical time, and then make a move. Now, wait for the price to sell, and you will definitely find a suitable buyer. ”

Xie Tong also said: "Now that the Guanzhong coalition army is sharp, Huang Chao is forced to abandon Chang'an. Originally, the towns of Qi were anyway, if we returned to Tang at this time, it was just the icing on the cake, and Li Tang Tianzi would not pay much attention to it. It's better to be like what Mr. Hu said, let's watch the battle for the time being and wait for the opportunity. In a certain opinion, although Huangchao will inevitably lose in the end, in a short period of time, the situation may be repeated. Huang Chao has been rampant in the world for many years, and he is not an idle person, if the Tang army underestimates the enemy, it will inevitably suffer a big loss. When that time comes, the handsome will make another move, which will not be the icing on the cake, but a charcoal in the snow, and the meaning will be absolutely different. ”

"How long will we have to wait for this time?" Zhu Wen asked. The boat was already leaking, and he didn't want to stay longer.

"Maybe soon, maybe there will be a while, but I believe so, this time will definitely come!" Xie Tong said confidently.

This time did come soon, although Huang Chao withdrew from Chang'an, he was not willing to withdraw from Guanzhong. He planned to fight with the Guanzhong coalition army in Guanzhong, and for this reason, Huang Chao began to gather all the soldiers and horses near Guanzhong. In addition, Huang Chao also ordered Kuaima to summon many generals to assemble and fight.

The messenger of the Yellow Nest galloped to Bianzhou. An urgent edict from the emperor was issued. The edict ordered Zhu Wen to lead the elite of Xuanwu Town to rush to Guanzhong Tongzhou, and from now on, Zhu Wen concurrently served as the envoy of the Zhenguo Army, the marshal of Tongguan, and the assassin of Tongzhou.

Zhu Wen didn't know what to do, when he received this edict, his neighbor on the other side of the Yellow River, Zhuge Shuang, who had just returned to the Tang Dynasty anyway, was gathering troops and horses. Secretly killed Zhengzhou. This shaking head grass wants to take Zhu Wen as a vote to show his loyalty to the court.

Heyang Jiedu made Zhuge Shuang like the martial artists of this era, tall and burly, brave and powerful, with a strong body, and a thick neck and head. It looks like a big grizzly bear. His face had the usual demeanor of a general, cold and resolute.

This is a military leader who struggled to rise in troubled times, and climbed up for him. He risked everything, not even his own life.

He served as a county magistrate. He was a prodigy, joined the peasant rebellion, and betrayed the rebel army to join the imperial court. Then, he betrayed the imperial court again, took the initiative to defect to the pseudo-Qi, and now, seeing that the situation is not good, he once again betrayed Huang Chao without hesitation, and took the initiative to gather troops and horses, preparing to attack Xuanwu Zhu Wen, who was still a minister in the same palace not long ago.

A person who never takes his own life seriously will naturally not take other people's lives seriously.

As for Zhuge Shuang, he has never been loyal, and if he does, it is just that the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough. As long as the chips are enough, he will not hesitate to betray.

However, Zhuge Shuang sent troops to Xuanwu Town, not just to curry favor with the imperial court. He sent troops to Xuanwu Town, and more wanted to curry favor with both sides, not only to please the Son of Heaven and the imperial court in Chengdu, but also to please Li Jing in Hebei. Zhu Wen is a deserter under Li Jing, if he can arrest Zhu Wen and send him to Li Jing, he will definitely be able to curry favor with Li Jing and gain his support. As long as there is Li Jing's support, he, the envoy of the Heyang Festival, will have peace of mind.

That night, Zhuge Shuang took the assembled 30,000 soldiers and horses from Mengzhou through Huaizhou, and finally chose to cross the river in Wuzhi and land at Biankou on the south bank.

Biankou is the intersection of Jishui in Heyang and the Yellow River.

Biankou is on the opposite bank of Huaizhou in Heyang, belongs to Luoyang, but it is very close to Zhengzhou, and Biankou goes south, which is the Bianshui Canal, which leads directly to Bianzhou. And not far to the west, is the eastern gateway of the eastern capital Luoyang, Bishui Wugao Pass.

That night, Zhuge Shuang led his troops to cross the river and walked dozens of miles of mountain roads, people were sleepy and tired, so they rested at the foot of Guangwu Mountain at the junction of Luoyang and Zhengzhou. Zhuge Shuang was leaning against a big tree, cross-legged, and was wiping his beloved three treasures, a Damascus Uzi steel knife, a gold pocket watch, and a crystal clairvoyant mirror. These three things are all collectible treasures that he ordered from Dengzhou at a great price. In particular, the Damascus Uzi steel knife, which has a tiger head made of gold on the handle, which is a symbol of bravery, shines brightly in the late spring sun.

Several cavalrymen who were scouting the way hurriedly came to report that there was another road deep in the dense forest on the other side of the mountain, and that there were traces of a team walking on the way.

When Zhuge Shuang heard this, he immediately ordered the scout battalion to assemble and rode to the direction pointed out by the soldiers to find out the details.

Passing through the dense forest, at the end of the woods, there were two towering mountains, and between them there was a narrow passage for one horse. Tanma stood there looking up at the sky, only to see a thin line of blue sky.

Tanma followed the footsteps on the road and ran forward a long way, but still did not find the owner of the footprints.

Tanma reported to Zhuge Shuang: Twenty miles ahead, no trace of the enemy was found.

Zhuge Shuang never dreamed that he was about to encounter Zhu Wen in the wild.

This is an important passage for Bianzheng to enter Luoyang, pass through the Tiger Prison Pass, and then enter Luoyang.

The footprints on that path are the footprints of Zhu Wen's forward exploration horse.

At this time, Zhu Wen had just left Bianzhou, leaving his brother Zhu Cun to guard Bianzheng, and he and Zhu Zhen, Hu Zhen, Xie Tong and other soldiers led the headquarters of 50,000 Xuanwu troops to prepare for Tongguan. His large camp was twenty miles away on the other side of the canyon, and if Zhuge Shuang's scouts walked a few miles further, they would have been able to find it.

Zhuge Shuang's Tanma did not find Zhu Wen's camp, but Zhu Wen's rangers found Zhuge Shuang's Tanma, and followed them back and found Zhuge Shuang's Heyang Army.

When the news came back, a huge storm was set off in Zhu Wen's camp.

Zhu Zhen, the deputy envoy of Xuanwu Jiedu, shouted angrily at the general Ding Hui: "Arrest and shoot the general of Zhengzhou Hefang Town who is negligent in defense, raised by a bitch!" Thousands of people, even Zhuge Shuang crossed the river with tens of thousands of horses, and they didn't know what to do, why did they eat? ”

Ding would say, "It's not a pity that guy died. The most important thing now is that we and Zhuge Shuang's soldiers and horses encountered in the wild, the two armies met only thirty miles, judging from the return of the horses, Zhuge Shuang did not know that we were here at this time. ”

Zhu Wen slammed his fist on the table, and the water cups on the table jumped up: "Since Zhuge Shuang is going to die and rush to see the reincarnation of the king of Hades, then we will kill this son of a bitch, Zhuge Shuang, and his 30,000 Heyang army!" ”

Zhu Wen's order was issued, and all the Xuanwu army units in the Heyin area on the side of Guangwu Mountain immediately gathered from all directions, preparing to form a two-way attack group on the left and right, surround Zhuge Shuang's 30,000 soldiers and horses on the bank of the Biankou River, and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
