Since Zhu Li was defeated at Wei Bridge and fell into the water to escape, many major events have indeed occurred in the entire Tang Dynasty.
In July of the second year of Zhonghe, in Henan Province.
Zhu Wen officially participated in the pursuit of Huang Chao. Facing his former boss, Zhu Wen was not polite at all. He pursued him relentlessly and killed him without hesitation, as if he would not give up until Huang Chao was dead.
In August, Hedong Road.
Zheng Congdang suddenly rose up. Not only did he not follow the court's order to hand over the fish seal and transfer it to Li Keyong, he also suddenly sent troops to resist Li Keyong's control of Hedong. The one-eyed dragon was so angry that he almost castrated himself.
In the same month, Fengtian.
Faced with Wang Zhongba's relentless attack, Zhu Mei abandoned the city and fled, leading the remnants of his troops to surrender to Li Xiaochang, the governor of Yanzhou. Li Xiaochang gladly accepted him and petitioned the court to appoint Zhu Mei as the governor of Yanzhou and lead his troops to confront Zhang Jingda.
Early September, Shannan West Road.
The Eight Capital Guards formerly under Yang Fuguang's command, under the order of Tian Lingzi, went to Chengdu to welcome the emperor. When they arrived in Xingyuan, Lu Yanhong suddenly became vicious and instigated Wang Jian, Pang Cong and others to join forces to expel Niu Cong, the governor of Shannan West Road, and proclaimed himself as the regent.
In desperation, Emperor Xizong of Tang had to appoint Lu Yanhong as the governor of Shannan West Road, and Wang Jian and others as provincial governors. The team going to Chengdu to welcome the emperor was left with only four people: Jin Hui, Han Jian, Zhang Zao, and Li Shitai.
Mid-month, Hangzhou.
Dong Chang, the former commander of Shijing Town, was dissatisfied with the new governor of Hangzhou, Lu Shenzhong, so he imprisoned him on his way to the post. He then appointed himself as the governor of Hangzhou and wrote to the court, requesting approval.
On the last day of September, the autumn wind was chilly, but the heart of Gaoyou Town General Bi Shiduo was colder than the wind.
In the morning, Bi Shiduo, Zhang Shenjian and Zheng Hanzhang gathered elite soldiers at the foot of Gaoyou City, totaling more than 15,000 people, and vowed to attack Jiangdu. The witch Wang Fengxian drafted a manifesto for them.
The emperor said: "I have heard that wise rulers plan for danger to control change, and loyal ministers worry about the difficulty of establishing power. Therefore, there must be extraordinary people, then there will be extraordinary things; there will be extraordinary achievements after extraordinary things. ... ... In Yangzhou, Gao Tong was in decline, and there were Lu Ning who was arrogant and cruel, causing chaos in the local area and framing his colleagues. So I took up my sword and beat the drum, and sent an order to Dongxia to gather heroes and discard the flaws; so I consulted with Shen Jian and Han Zhang and gave them the title of assistant general... ... "
The impassioned anti-enemy manifesto, coupled with Bi Shiduo's vigorous and passionate voice, was clear, grand and heroic, and attracted tens of thousands of soldiers to beat their chests and stamp their feet, shouting like waves.
After the manifesto was read, Bi Shiduo and others enumerated 108 crimes, both major and minor, against Lü Yongzhi, and read them out in public, declaring that they would not withdraw their troops until the evil man was killed.
When the army set out, they would always kill people as sacrifices. However, there was a mansion owned by Lu Yongzhi in Gaoyou City. After discussion among several people, they decided to burn down Lu Yongzhi's mansion as a sacrifice.
Lu Yongzhi's mansion in Gaoyou was equivalent to a temporary residence. Zhang Shenjian sent a lieutenant general to lead a captain of troops to burn down the mansion. The rest of the people waited outside the city and waited for the fireworks in the city to be lit. Then they would immediately order the army to march south to Jiangdu.
The general who was ordered to burn down the mansion was named Ni Lu, a favorite general of Zhang Shenjian. He led his troops to burn down Lu Yongzhi's mansion, but he didn't take it seriously, knowing that Lu Yongzhi was not in Gaoyou and that there were only some maids and servants in the mansion. Killing these people and burning down the mansion would not be a burden for him at all. However, he made a serious mistake in his estimation this time.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of Lu Yongzhi's mansion, I saw a young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a face as fierce as a leopard, standing at the gate with a gun and a sword.
The young man was as steady as a pine tree and as solid as a rock. Facing a group of more than 200 people, he showed no fear.
Pan Genruohu, narrowed his eyes and shouted: "Who are you? No matter why you come here, we don't welcome visitors today. Please leave."
When Ni Lu heard this, he was happy. He thought, where did this young man come from? Does he want to die? Does he know what these people are here for
This idiot actually dared to speak to them in a warning tone. I just hope that when the other party dies, this idiot won’t be scared to tears.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and shouted coldly: "Surround them, no one is allowed to escape."
While ordering his soldiers to surround the mansion, he wanted to lead his men to rush into the mansion. However, the young man with the fierce look remained unmoved by their actions and still calmly stood in the middle of the mansion gate, with no intention of moving aside.
All this irritated Ni Lu. Thinking of the three generals outside the city who were still waiting for his news, he had no time to waste with this bastard. He drew out his sword with a clang, swung it out, and with a flash of silver light, he chopped at Yang Zaixing's head, and shouted impatiently, "Asshole, you are really tired of living. A good dog doesn't block the road, but you dare to block my way. You are really courting death."
But before he could strike with the sword, he saw a figure flash before his eyes, and a black shadow instantly approached him. Through his eyes, Ni Lu only felt a black shadow of a fist as big as a vinegar jar, getting closer and closer. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his left eye, and then his whole body, with a huge force like a surging wave, involuntarily fell backwards.
"Plop"
Ni Lu only felt dizzy and stars were everywhere. Liquid seemed to be gushing out of his left eye which was closed due to the pain. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it and put it in front of his eyes, only to see his hand covered with blood. Damn, what's going on? Isn't this blood? The bright red color is so cold and dazzling.
"Asshole, are you looking for death?"
Ni Lu was angry. This young man actually dared to hit him and left him injured. How could he not be angry
He suddenly got up and rushed towards Yang Zaixing with his sword again. The sword was as sharp as water, fierce and ferocious. It was obvious that he used all his strength in this sword.
But before he could chop down with his sword, the black shadow appeared beside him again like a ghost. He still couldn't see the other party's movements clearly. With his only right eye opened, he saw a black shadow as big as a vinegar jar fist coming at him again.
"Bang"
This time it was his right eye, which also suddenly felt a pain. His body was carried by the huge force and he fell backwards again involuntarily.
"Plop"
With both eyes injured and bleeding, Ni Lu fell on his back on the ground, with darkness all before his eyes. Only then did he realize how terrifying the other party was.
If this man had swung the long sword at his waist or the spear in his hand instead of his fist, how could he still be alive? Thinking of this, Ni Lu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Who are you and why are you stopping me from carrying out military orders?" Ni Lu felt aggrieved and more frightened, but he did not want to lose face in front of his subordinates.
"Are you going to burn down this mansion?" Yang Zaixing asked instead of answering.
"So what? The three generals have sworn to fight the bandits. This was originally the residence of the evildoer Lu Yongzhi. Shouldn't it be burned down?" Ni Lu stiffened his neck, but did not dare to be too tough. He just held on.
"I am acting on orders. If you continue to stop me, I'm afraid the consequences will be beyond your ability to bear." His tone was a little polite, but the threat in his words was already obvious.
Hearing this, Yang Zaixing snorted coldly: "Humph, go back and tell your general that this mansion was originally owned by Lu Yong.
"That's right, but now it has been bought by my master. Aren't you afraid of violating the laws of the Tang Dynasty by burning down the mansion?"
Yang Zaixing also refused to give in and brought out the laws of the Tang Dynasty. He wanted to see whether Ni Lu and his generals were more powerful or the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If Bi Shiduo and others were reckless and broke the law knowingly, then they themselves were thieves, so how could they be defeated
When Ni Lu heard this, he was shocked and suspicious. While he was speaking, his vision regained some clarity. However, Yang Zaixing's words made him feel a chill in his heart. How could such a thing actually happen? Did that bastard Lu Yongzhi know that the general and others would rebel, so he actually sold the mansion
Ni Lu did not dare to delay and immediately instructed a captain to quickly pass the news that Lu Yongzhi's mansion had been sold to others to Zhang Shenjian outside the city.
He himself stayed behind and confronted Yang Zaixing with a serious face, but did not dare to act rashly. He just let his subordinates surround him.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Shenjian came on horseback. When he got closer, he saw his trusted general with two dark eyes, one on the left and one on the right, which were extremely symmetrical. He looked even funnier than the clown played by actors.
Zhang Shenjian looked unfriendly. His men were beaten and he was embarrassed. After asking the reason, he looked at Yang Zaixing.
However, the young man who was the instigator of the crime still stood proudly in the middle of the mansion gate with a sword and a gun. Even if Zhang Shenjian came in person, he still could not move the other party at all.
Zhang Shenjian is an extremely protective person. It cannot be said that such a person is bad. If a person cannot protect his superiors, naturally not many people will be willing to follow him. However, if he protects his subordinates regardless of the occasion and reason, sooner or later there will be a day when he will suffer the consequences himself.
"Hey, how dare you hit my general, you pig and dog, I want to see what you are capable of." Seeing his general in such a miserable state, Zhang Shenjian was furious. While riding a horse, he swung his spear and hit the horse's belly hard, then he galloped forward and aimed directly at Yang Zaixing's chest.
Facing Zhang Shenjian's flying stab, Yang Zaixing seemed to be aroused with a hint of interest. He flashed and easily avoided the opponent's stabbing direction. Then he turned the spear in his hand and stabbed it quickly. The spear immediately turned into a fleeting silver light and went straight to the horse's throat. At the same time, he blurted out words of advice: "When stabbing with a spear, you need to hold the stake steadily, move quickly, aim accurately, and be ruthless. The general's stabbing seems to be a little lacking."
Before he finished speaking, blood spurted out.
"Ang hiss"
In less than a moment, Yang Zaixing's spear pierced deeply into the handsome horse's throat, and the handsome horse screamed and wailed in pain.
The spear in Yang Zaixing's hand pierced through the horse's neck, and with the remaining force it stabbed straight at Zhang Shenjian who was sitting on the horse's back.
Faced with such a sharp and fierce attack, Zhang Shenjian was scared to death. How could he care about the life or death of his beloved horse at this moment? His spear missed and he was in danger. He followed the direction of Yang Zaixing's spear, fell backwards, kicked his legs hard, and flew backwards and upwards with a "whoosh".
"Plop"
The handsome horse's neck was pierced, and it swooped down on the ground with its front knees, splashing up countless dirt.
At the same time, Yang Zaixing let go of the base of the spear and stepped swiftly on the horse's head. From behind the horse's neck, he took advantage of the situation and attacked again. He grasped the front of the spear, pulled it hard, and stabbed it out again, straight at Zhang Shenjian who was in the air.
Zhang Shenjian was in mid-air, with nowhere to put his strength. Seeing Yang Zaixing taking advantage of the situation and about to stab him in the chest, he could only scream in a long, mournful voice, "Ah, my life is over."
