Li Keyong fell silent, feeling melancholy and helpless, and said after a while: "Why bring up the old things again, what should we do now?"
Huiming was about to speak, when the curtain of the inner tent was lifted, and a young woman came out from inside, before she appeared, she said, "Naturally, we should hide our strengths and bide our time, and wait for the right time."
Seeing this young woman, Huiming got up and clasped his hands together.
The young woman did not look alluring, but she had pretty features and gentle demeanor. She was obviously born as a lady, and she was a pure-blood Han.
After returning Huiming's gift, she said to Li Keyong: "In the whole world, the only one who can pacify the Huangchao is the husband. If the husband does not come out, the rebellious thieves will not be quelled for a day. Instead of asking for money and food now , being made things difficult by others, it is better to rectify the army and accumulate strength. When the court is anxious in the future, it will naturally clear the obstacles for the husband, and then it will be the time for the husband to put down the rebellion and become famous all over the world."
The young woman, Mrs. Liu, is Li Keyong's wife. She is quite strategic and often has great opinions. When Li Keyong fought, she followed him in the barracks, and she was respected by Li Keyong's staff.
Li Keyong and Liu Yun are very affectionate and respect her in private. He immediately got up and pulled Liu Yun to sit with him, and seriously thought about what Liu Yun said.
Huiming said: "What Madam said is exactly what the poor monk wants to say. Please think again, general."
Li Keyong glanced at Huiming, a little annoyed, I was thinking twice.
Soon, Li Keyong made up his mind and decided to do what Liu Yun and Huiming wanted.
There is no need to send troops to the Central Plains for the time being, so Li Keyong is not too worried about the food problem. When he was training his soldiers, he did not forget to recruit soldiers. He said that Huang Chao had millions of troops. He didn't want to go to the Central Plains with only one hundred thousand soldiers. The other side fights.
...
Dengzhou.
Zhu Wen is not very happy now, which makes him always sullen when he patrols the city defense. Seeing his appearance, the generals and soldiers who followed him dared to disturb him, so the team was very silent.
Wu Yazi has already returned, he came back with a broken arm, this time he didn't come and go like flying like usual, jumping directly to the top of the city, but walked obediently through the city gate, and fainted on the ground after entering the city.
Afterwards, Zhu Wen went to see him, and he learned that Zhongnan Four Swords would not come back, and that he had gone to Xuzhou with King An and Li Ye. Zhongnan Sijian died as soon as he died, Zhu Wen didn't care at all, he never liked those old Taoist priests.
Although the Taoists of Zhongnan Mountain put in a lot of effort during Huang Chao's expedition to the north and south, whether it was making suggestions or charging into the battle, Zhu Wen never felt that they were so great.
After all, Zhu Wen didn't like Huang Chao's obedience to Taoists. In his opinion, the reason for a man to make contributions is to keep his word and bow his head.
Zhu Wen was worried about Li Ye.
Wu Yazi didn't know how Li Ye came to Xuzhou, let alone what Li Ye was going to do. But Zhu Wen knew that as a veteran on the battlefield, he had his own way of thinking about problems. Li Ye, as the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, appeared in the hinterland of the Central Plains. There was only one possibility, and that was to lead the troops to Qin Wang.
Zhu Wen had heard of Li Ye's prestige for a long time.
In the past, when Huang Chao hadn't caused any rebellion and was just a scholar, Zhu Wen was still a rascal. When he was hunting in the countryside, Li Ye's heroic deeds of overthrowing the treacherous official Wei Baoheng and plotting to kill the eunuch Liu Xingshen spread throughout the world.
At that time, Zhu Wen heard the deeds of these characters from the storyteller. He was very excited and admired. In words, everyone praised Li Ye as a dragon and phoenix among men.
Zhu Wen told his second brother that when King An didn't make a fortune, he couldn't practice for 20 years and was called a waste. Although we don't have a reputation now, who can guarantee that we won't be like King An in the future
Zhu Wen didn't know the word "idol". If he knew, he would understand that he already regarded Li Ye as an idol.
Ever since he came to Huangchao, Zhu Wen had never heard of King An. Sometimes when he heard that the officers and soldiers had changed generals, he also wondered if he would be replaced by King An. The soldiers quelled the chaos, but no. Zhu Wen couldn't tell whether it was regret or happiness.
Later, Zhu Wen saw Di Bao and knew that Li Ye had gone to Pinglu, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The prestige of the two King An is really too great.
Unexpectedly, this time King An arrived in Xuzhou, and according to what Wu Yazi said, he came for the Zhongwu Army, what was he going to do, it was clear that he was going to attack him.
Playing against idols is very stressful.
Zhu Wen stopped at the east gate, looked to the northeast, and was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Have the spies from Henan returned?"
The confidant General Zhu Zhen replied: "Not yet."
Zhu Wen has his own way of doing things. Now that King An has come, it is impossible to escape. The only option is to fight. At this time, it is very important to find out the details of King An. At least he must know that An How many soldiers and horses did the king bring.
Although Zhu Wen was Huang Chao's favorite general, he had just been sent out to lead the army from the pro-military command, and there were not many troops under his command. After the battle of Dengzhou, there were quite a lot of casualties. Now there are only about 50,000 people who can fight.
It is said that Huang Chao has more than a million soldiers, but that is all false. Most of them are coerced civilians, including old and weak women and children. The real soldiers are only about half a million, and the elite are even more powerful. few.
Now the main force of the rebel army is in Guanzhong. In the hands of Huang Chao, Zhu Wen didn't bring out many soldiers and horses. He still wanted to take Dengzhou down to open up the situation. No matter how good he was, he could recruit troops or annex Linzhen to expand his power. .
There are basically no generals in the rebel army east of Tongguan, and Zhu Wen is alone. It is not easy to defend Dengzhou.
Zhu Wen turned his head and glanced left and right. Many of the soldiers and horses in Dengzhou were his direct descendants, and they were the real elites. They were the capital of his achievements in troubled times. He had fought with Huang Chao for many years, and it was not easy to have such a family background.
"That's all! Send more spies to Zhongwu, Henan, and Xuanwu to find out the news, and you must find out how many soldiers and horses King An has brought!" After Zhu Wen gave the order, he felt a little upset and didn't want to stay in the city. Walk down the passage, get on the horse, lead a group of soldiers out of the city, and gallop along the official road to the east.
Zhu Wen wanted to change his mood and take a look at the scenery along the way.
He heard that when Tang Taizong led his troops to fight, he liked to take more than a hundred of his own soldiers to the enemy's territory to investigate the military situation when he had nothing to do. He was hunted down many times for this, but he remained stubborn. He also used this method to lure the enemy and won many battles.
Zhu Wen didn't want to go to the Xuanwu Army, but he can also walk there to see what's going on along the way. In many cases, the news brought by the refugees is also useful.
After running for a long time, it was almost a hundred miles away from Dengzhou, and there were not many pedestrians on both sides of the official road. Zhu Wen stopped his horse and prepared to go back. After all, it was wartime now, and he couldn't spend the night in the wild. Although he was brave and had nothing to fear, he was also very cautious.

But before he turned his head, he saw a tea shed at the corner of the official road in front of him, and there were several people drinking tea in the tea shed. Zhu Wen thought about it, it’s okay to drink a bowl of tea, and chat with the people by the way, and see them What is the attitude towards the Rebel Army towards Datang
Now that Huang Chao has proclaimed himself emperor and established Daqi, I don't know who the people's heart is for.
Zhu Wen asked his soldiers to wait here. He only brought Zhu Zhen and a few others, and rode his horse to the tea shed. The owner of the tea shed is a skinny old man with thin clothes, and he is very afraid when he sees them.
After dismounting from his horse, Zhu Wen strode into the tea shed, and said with a hearty smile, "Don't be afraid, old man. I'm just here to drink a few bowls of tea. Don't worry, your tea money is indispensable!"
After Zhu Wen sat down, he looked at the table beside him with great interest, and was about to strike up a conversation with the other party. He took a serious look and couldn't help being a little surprised. rare.
The one on the left has a mature charm, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that are charming for no reason, and the one on the right is petite and exquisite, with purple hair and a scarf on her face. Although she can't see her face clearly, she is definitely not ordinary beauty. Those eyes are extraordinarily big, bright and clear! bright and clean! The one with his back to him, dressed in a black and red robe, could tell that he was tall even if he was sitting.
Seeing these three beauties with different temperaments for no reason, but they are all overwhelmed by the country, ordinary people may be surprised, but Zhu Wen did not lose his composure. It seems that he is a monk who walks the rivers and lakes, maybe he is a disciple of that great sect , otherwise it wouldn't be so profound that all the beauties would gather together.
This kind of quack cultivator would join in wherever there was excitement, and call friends when there was trouble.
It's impossible not to offend, Zhu Wen didn't intend to offend. Although the other party is very beautiful, he has never done such things as robbing civilian girls, and he doesn't covet the other party's beauty at all. There is someone!
Zhu Wen took a few glances at the other party, then looked away and drank tea. At this time, he noticed that a young man in black robe slipped out from behind the tea shed, and sat down on that table. It seemed that he was with him, and he probably went to the toilet just now.
Li Ye saw Zhu Wen, and also saw more than a hundred riders staying far away, but he didn't care.
Now the Central Plains is in such chaos, soldiers and horses are everywhere, from Bianzhou to Xuzhou, from Xuzhou to Dengzhou, they met too many along the way. The people in front of them seemed to be elite at most. Although they were dressed in rebellious army uniforms, Li Ye didn't intend to kill the rebellious army when they saw it, so that was meaningless.
But since he saw the rebellious army, and it was very likely to be Dengzhou's army, Li Ye wanted to talk to him anyway, to spy on the situation in Dengzhou. He took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and showed a warm smile .
"This general..."
"This young man..."
Zhu Wen also planned to have a conversation, to see where Li Ye and the others came from, if there was any news worth paying attention to, or to ask these Jianghu monks what they think of the newly established Daqi.
The two spoke together, and the heads of the words collided.
