Chapter 583: Rampant in the World

(Thanks to Shancheng Yidao and Xiaobai Louba's monthly pass support, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!) )

It's all a bunch of rice buckets!

Wang Jingwu can't support the wall, and Chen Jingxuan is also extremely incompetent.

These two people are the result of Tian Lingzi's hard work, but now they have become crazy people and are causing chaos in Ziqing Town, and the other has almost lost his head in Lulong Town.

These two muddy muds made Tian Lingzi seized the opportunity by Ximen Sigong and others to play in front of the Son of Heaven, which made him lose face.

Ximen Sigong was appointed lieutenant of the right army of Shence, Yang Fugong was appointed privy envoy, Zhang Tai was promoted to envoy of the Northern Xuanhui Academy, and Yang Fuguang was appointed envoy of the Southern Xuanwei Academy.

Frowning tightly, Tian Lingzi looked down at the fold in his hand.

The more he looked, the more annoyed he became, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the people he recommended were all rice buckets. Wang Jingwu, Xue Chong and Li were in Ziqing Town, but they were turned around by Li Jing. He promoted these three people, originally wanting to seize control of Ziqing Town in order to suppress Li Jing's Zhenguo army Dengzhou.

But judging from the news received, what Li Jing did in Ziqing Town easily cracked his arrangement. Li Jing did not compete with Wang Jingwu and them for Ziqing Town as he expected, and on the surface he divided Ziqing Town into two, but in fact, it was a ruthless and ruthless draw from the bottom of the kettle, directly draining Wang Jingwu's soldiers and people. Now that Wang Jingwu is crazy, the ten counties he controls have become ruins, but the counties controlled by Li Jing are in ruins.

From Li Jing's division of Ziqing Town, to his relocation of the people and the capture of troops, and now to the occupation of Pingzhou, this step is an unexpected move. Li Jing is very cunning, every step is to plan and then act.

He didn't even bite the bait he had laid down. Never go to take Ziqing Town. On the contrary, it is dedicated to the development of Liaodong. It is now occupying Pingzhou. It is also under the banner of recovering Liaoxi.

It would have been much better if Li Jing had driven Wang Jingwu directly, but this guy just didn't develop in Ziqing Town, but instead moved troops to Liaodong, which made him feel worried.

Ziqing Town or Liaodong, which is more prosperous, that is needless to say. Li Jing gave up Ziqing Town but plotted against Liaodong, just to say that Li Jing had a big plan!

But in this way, he did not develop to Ziqing Town. Then he couldn't go straight to Li Jing's trouble.

Wang Jingwu and Chen Jingxuan, who arranged by themselves, completely lost control of Ziqing Town and Lulong Town, two feudal towns that saw that the situation was good, especially the Youzhou Rebellion, which led to Li Jing's occupation of Pingzhou without a single soldier, and the imperial court could not even blame Li Jing for this. After all, Chen Jingxuan forced Li Keju to rebel, overthrew the 5,000 forbidden army, and let Lu Longzhen once again escape from the control of the imperial court. And Li Jing's occupation of Pingzhou gave the imperial court another point of control over Lu Arsenic Town.

According to the news from the spy newspaper, after Li Jing occupied Pingzhou, he actively strengthened Pingzhou's defenses. A large garrison. But the focus is not on the direction of the thistle, but on the direction of Xi and Khitan. The center of gravity is towards Yingzhou, Liaoxi.

After reading the excerpt, Tian Lingzi leaned on the white tiger skin cushion and fell into deep thought.

Is Li Jing really preparing to use troops in Liaodong and Liaoxi to recapture the old land of Andong and Yingzhou?

Does he really plan to do so, or is this just an illusion, and Li Jing's targets are still Ziqing and Youzhou?

All this made him a little uncertain.

There is another excerpt on the table, which is Zheng Jin, Wang Duo, Ximen Sigong and others advocating to the emperor to recruit grass thieves.

As early as more than half a year ago, the grass thieves suddenly threatened the eastern capital and attacked Ruzhou. But now, there is a letter from Qizhou Thorn Shi Pei Wu to match the grass thief, and when he saw that everything was going well for Zhao'an, Tian Lingzi asked Lu Xi to propose to refuse Zhao'an.

The reason for Lu Xian's objection was very high-profile, "At the beginning, Emperor Yizong insisted on not pardoning Pang Xun, and it only took a year to kill him. Today's Wang Xianzhi is just a little thief, his momentum and strength are not as good as Pang Xun's, and his forgiveness and sealing him will only encourage the arrogance of those people to do evil! ”

Of course, this is not the case, because of the incompetence of Wang Jingwu and Chen Jingxuan, Tian Lingzi was joined by Ximen Sigong and others, although the emperor still trusted him, but Ximen and the others also regained the emperor's trust. Now that the grass thieves have left the land of Huainan, they no longer threaten the eastern capital. Then he naturally has to oppose the recruitment of Wang Duo, Zheng Ji and other manpower owners.

This is not out of any court consideration, but he has to oppose what the other party is in favor of.

However, his opposition this time did not last long, and after Ximen Sigong and others made another suggestion to the emperor, Tian Lingzi and Lu Xi agreed. Of course, this agreement has a price, in exchange for the compromise of Ximen Sigong and Zheng Ji and others on Chen Jingxuan, Yang Shili, and Niu Miao as envoys to the Sanchuan Festival, as well as the improper employment of Wang Jingwu and others.

Tian Lingzi threw down the fold and sneered, "Zhao'an, Zhao'an!" ”

Under Tian Lingzi's intervention, although the most reluctant agreed to continue recruiting An, the conditions for recruiting An changed. The specifications were lowered, and the list that originally said that "removing officials" included Wang Xianzhi, Shang Junchang and others, but now it is limited to Wang Xianzhi alone, and the official position is not sincere at all.

Despite this, when the envoy from Chang'an arrived, there was still a sound of joy in Qizhou City.

The battle was over, the defenders of the city and the grass army outside the city returned to the camp to rest, Pei Wu opened the city gate, welcomed Wang Xianzhi, Shang Junchang and other dozens of grass army leaders into the city, and held a banquet in the Assassin's Mansion to warmly entertain the leaders.

In a cheerful atmosphere, the envoy from Chang'an read out the edict of Zhao'an. and issued two official positions on the spot, both of which were given to Wang Xianzhi, and no one else had them. The duties are to set the teeth of the Left God Command Army and supervise the imperial history.

These two official positions are not of high rank, but they are both low-level and powerful positions. In particular, Zuo Shence Army is the captain of the guard of Tian Lingzi, a lieutenant of the Left Army, and he is an important position of confidants.

After hearing the holy decree, 'Wang Xianzhi's face was swollen with joy, and Wang Shackles of Ruzhou Thorn Shi and Pei Wu of Qizhou Thorn Shi hurriedly congratulated Wang Xianzhi.

However, except for Wang Xianzhi in the grass army, who was very happy, everyone else had gloomy faces, especially Shang Junchang. After making trouble for a long time, the court only recruited one Wang Xianzhi, but they didn't get any benefits.

A noisy sound broke Wang Xianzhi's joy.

The eunuch, accustomed to hearing the kneeling people shouting thanks for the grace of the Holy Grace after the decree was read, stared in astonished eyes, looking for the rude person who dared to raise his voice in front of the angels.

I saw a large number of people suddenly rushing in, and one of the leaders scolded Wang Xianzhi on the spot: "I think we made an oath to run rampant in the world, but now you want to run to the Shence Army alone to be an official, where do you want to put our brothers?" After speaking, he directly picked up his iron fist, aimed at the head of Wang Xianzhi, who was still smirking, and smashed it violently.

Shang Junchang and the others were also surprised when they suddenly saw Huang Chao and the others break in. However, when he saw Huang Chao committing a crime, he directly beat Wang Xianzhi, but no one stepped forward to persuade him.

He knows his own family affairs, and Huang Chao and them both know that this so-called Youdu Tong is just a stand-in. Huang Chao started beating him, probably to express his opposition to Zhao'an to Shang Junchang.

Shang Junchang is indeed a little resentful now, and he tried his best to seek Zhao'an, but he ended up with such a result.

Huang Chao's martial arts are very high, and he beat the head of a fake Wang Xianzhi with a fist, and Shang Junchang and the others all watched coldly.

Wang Lian and Pei Wu, as well as the eunuchs from Chang'an, were all frightened and overwhelmed by this sudden change.

Although Wang Xianzhi is just a stand-in puppet, he is not stupid to go home, when he was beaten with blood on his face, he finally came back to his senses, he was not the real commander of the grass army, and hurriedly shouted for mercy, and vowed to advance and retreat with the brothers, and never accept Zhao'an alone!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Pei Tingshi and the envoy who passed the decree hurriedly slipped away without paying attention, and Wang Lian's reaction was a little slower, and he was caught on the spot by the leaders of the "grass army" who were clamoring. Not only that, in order to restore his prestige and soothe the wounded hearts of his subordinates, Shang Junchang and these more than 30 leaders rushed out of the yamen, opened the city gate, and let the "grass army" outside the city enter the city, and carried out a joyful ransacking. According to the subsequent compromise, in this disaster, the city of Qizhou was almost set on fire by the "grass army" and burned to ashes, half of the city's residents were killed, and half were forcibly conscripted by the "grass army".

The defenders of Qizhou in the Tang Dynasty were as if they were as impenetrable as paper paste, and there were only more than 30 grass thief leaders in the city, such as Shang Junchang and Huang Chao, but they opened the city gate and captured Qizhou City to lead the thieves into the city.

Seeing the opportunity, Pei Wu, the assassin of Qizhou, did not organize resistance but immediately abandoned the city and fled all the way to Ezhou in Shannan. And the lieutenant envoy from Chang'an, don't look at it as a eunuch, his body is not yet sound, but he escaped faster than Pei Wu, and ran directly to Xiangzhou with a smoke.

The second department of grass thieves who met again in Qizhou, after looting Qizhou, held an alliance. Huang Chao means to leave behind the fake Wang Xianzhi and let Shang Junchang's department be merged into Huangchao's department, Huangchao is the new leader of the grass thieves, and Shang Junchang is the deputy leader.

The meeting lasted for three days, and although Huang Chao showed great sincerity, Shang Junchang and the others could not really believe Huang Chao, and the negotiations broke down in the end.

Huang Chao led the crowd to prepare to go north again, return to the Central Plains and Henan to return to Cao Pu's hometown, and then recruit people again.

However, Shang Jun's troops were unwilling to act with Huang Chao anymore, and they were ready to continue to march westward towards Shannan Dongdao.

As a result, there was another controversy within Shang Junchang's department, and it was split later. Liu Yanzhang, the ticket commander, led his troops to break away from Shang Junchang and went east to Jiangxi.

After the division of troops, the momentum of the "grass army" increased instead of decreasing, rampaging through the Central Plains, showing the trend of burning the plains.

In May of the third year of Qianfu, Shang Junchang, who advanced westward, captured Ezhou, an important town at the intersection of Jiangnan West Road and Shannan Province and Huainan Road.

At the same time, Huang Chao killed back to Caozhou and plundered Yunzhou, Tianping Army Jiedu made Kang Chengyu lead his troops to repel Huangchao, and Huangchao fled to Yizhou, and was once again repelled by Cui Yunqing, the Taining Military Jiedu, and entered Ziqing Town.

Huang Chao entered Ziqing Town and fought with his former ally Wang Jingwu, Wang Jingwu was defeated by Huang Chao, the original Tianping Army Festival envoy, Ziqing Town Laizhou Assassin Shi Xue Chong was killed in battle, Huang Chao captured many Wang Jingwu's subordinates and horses, all the way to the Jishui line of Qingzi Qi Prefectures Li Jing controlled the counties!
