Zhu Wen turned his head and saw that it was the prime minister who was still giving way, so he quickly saluted. After Huang Chao established the Great Qi, he appointed four prime ministers, but Shang Rang was undoubtedly the leader of the crowd and won Huang Chao's trust. If not, Huang Chao would not have let him lead troops to Fengxiang to attack Zheng Tian many times before.
The root cause is that Shang Rang is the younger brother of Shang Junchang, and Shang Junchang is the general Wang Xianzhi who was sent by Wang Xianzhi to negotiate with the government and army after Wang Xianzhi was persuaded by Yang Fuguang to surrender in the past, and was finally killed.
Shang Junchang died unjustly, and Shang Rang hated the Tang Dynasty very much, he was one of the people who were least likely to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and his ability to lead the army was not bad, so he was valued by Huang Chao. Facing such a character, Zhu Wen has no reason to be disrespectful.
It was getting late, and there were no officials walking around, and the civil servants and military generals at the banquet basically took a step ahead, Zhu Wen and Shang Rang walked side by side, and the latter said: "At the table, I see that the general is worried, I don't know why? "
Zhu Wen was secretly startled. He originally thought that he had covered it up well enough, but Shang Rang would see through it, but of course he would not say it clearly, and instead asked: "The final general is fighting outside, and I don't know the situation in Guanzhong. What is the current situation of the battle?" ?”
Shang Rang was silent for a moment, "Some time ago, His Majesty appointed Wang Mei as the envoy of Binning Jiedu to lead Binzhou. Before Wang Mei took office, Zhu Mei, the former general of Binzhou town, rebelled. Chonggu was the Jiedu envoy, and he led the army to invade Xingping, and now he is fighting Wang Bo who is stationed in Xingping."
Speaking of this, Shang Rang didn't say any more.
Zhu Wen then knew that there were wars on all sides of Daqi now, and those soldiers in the feudal towns, between the Tang Dynasty and Daqi, still chose to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, or to fight for the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Zhu Wen returned to Chang'an. It can be said that he came back just in time. Huang Chao was short of a strong general to lead the army to defeat all kinds of soldiers and horses.
The facts were not what Zhu Wen expected. Within two days, Huang Chao summoned him and asked him to lead the army to fight against the Binning Army, Fengxiang Army, Xia Sui Army and other troops who invaded Guanzhong.
Zhu Wen knew that he had just been defeated in Dengzhou. Although Huang Chao didn't blame him, he just waited for him to make amends.
Zhu Wen didn't dare to be negligent. After receiving the armor, swords and weapons, he rectified his troops and horses, practiced day and night, and then took the new trilogy assigned to him by Huang Chao, and went out to meet the troops of various towns.
When Li Ye wiped out all the bandit armies in the Guandong, and the soldiers were approaching Tongguan, Zhu Wen won successive battles in Guanzhong, defeating Binning, Fengxiang, Xia Sui and other armies successively.
It is worth mentioning that Li Maozhen and Wang Jian, who were in the Fengxiang army, also fought with Zhu Wen, but they were defeated. After this battle, the Fengxiang Army had no strength to advance in a short period of time.
Li Maozhen and Wang Jian returned to Fengxiang with the remnants of the defeated generals. Together with the generals, they were scolded by Fengxiang's military envoy Zheng Tian. The words were very fierce, which can be described as extremely insulting.
After coming out of Jiedushi's mansion, he found a restaurant for dinner, Li Maozhen's face was gloomy, and he never said a word. Although Wang Jian didn't show much on his face, judging from the fact that he was facing a table full of dishes but didn't make a move, it was obvious that he was extremely uncomfortable.
"Song Wentong, are you still eating or not?" Wang Jian waited for a while, and finally couldn't help it, and asked Li Maozhen by tapping on the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks.
Li Maozhen recovered from deep thought, and he gave Wang Jian a lukewarm look: "Why don't you eat?"
Wang Jian snorted and said, "Looking at your ugly face, how can I eat it?"
Li Maozhen's already gloomy face turned chilly instantly. He stared at Wang Jian as if he wanted to swallow him up, but he immediately relaxed. Wang Jian was just trying to persuade him to eat. get angry.
Picking up the chopsticks, Li Maozhen took the food.
Seeing Li Maozhen finally move his chopsticks, Wang Jian, who had long been unable to restrain himself, quickly picked up the bowl and started to eat. However, Li Maozhen immediately put down his chopsticks again. He looked at Wang Jian who was eating with gusto, and sighed. His face, which was more beautiful than a woman's, was full of surprise: "At this point, how can you still eat?"
Wang Jian's mouth was full of food, and he said inarticulately: "Food is the most important thing for the people, why should they treat their stomachs badly?"
Li Maozhen rolled her eyes, discussing the issue of eating with Wang Jian was simply asking for trouble.
He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Although it is your bounden duty to fight against the thieves, a style of play like a military commander is simply to let the soldiers go forward to die... Ever since Huang Chao occupied Chang'an, Feng Xiang There has never been a day of rest. The army is either fighting on the battlefield or on the way to the battlefield. There is no time to rest. The commander recruited a lot of new soldiers, and the drills are not enough. Let you and I take them to the battlefield. If we don’t fight to the death, we will die from exhaustion in the end.”

While burying his head in picking up the vegetables, Wang Jian raised his eyelids to look at Li Maozhen: "What do you want?"
Li Maozhen frowned delicately: "There is so much resentment in the army, I'm afraid it won't work if this continues. This time you and I were defeated by Zhu Wen. Could it be that you and I are not as good at fighting as he is? It's because the parts are too messy This time you and I were lucky enough to pick up a life and come back. It is already a blessing in misfortune, but we were scolded by the military commander to punish you and me... When we were in the Shence Army, we didn't Have you ever encountered such a situation?"
Wang Jian swallowed the food in his mouth with a grunt, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and looked at Li Maozhen seriously: "The military commander has obtained the military power given by His Majesty. It is true that the position is not bad, but because of this, the military commander is eager to defeat the bandits. , making meritorious deeds, it’s just that he is so impatient, he has indeed violated the taboo of military strategists.”
Li Maozhen sneered and said: "The military commander was originally just a scholar. He was able to defeat Shang Rang a few times ago because he underestimated the enemy. We have strong support. Now it's time to really test the military's talents, and the military commander is naturally full of flaws."
Wang Jianzai looked at Li Maozhen carefully, as if he could see a flower on his face.
Li Maozhen blushed and glared: "What are you looking at?!"
Wang Jian didn't retract his neck as usual, but asked seriously, "You want to rebel?"
Li Maozhen was slightly stunned, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's not a rebellion, it's because Fengxiang needs to be replaced by Jiedushi."
Wang Jian asked, "Who should I replace?"
Li Maozhen didn't hesitate to think: "Li Changyan, the commander of the marching army, is well-known, popular, and talented. If he replaces Zheng Tian, Fengxiang's situation will be much better."
"Then it's settled." Wang Jian picked up the bowl and chopsticks and continued to bury his head in his mouth. Seeing that he was calm and calm, he didn't even speed up his breathing. It seemed that what he talked about with Li Maozhen just now was not about replacing the commander who holds the world's military power. , but just where to hang out after dinner.
"What else to eat!" Li Maozhen stood up and dragged Wang Jian away: "The night is long and dreamy, go see Li Changyan now!"
Wang Jian hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food, but before his mouth was full, he was dragged away by Li Maozhen, looking at the food away from him, his eyes were sad.
Zheng Tian was pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his hands, his expression was anxious and restless.
His confidants stood in the room and looked at him, almost fainted by him, but they couldn't say anything.
"One defeat after another, one defeat after another! How could this be?" Zheng Ting sat down angrily, and couldn't help but slapped him fiercely, "At the beginning, Shang Rang led 200,000 troops to commit crimes, but we defeated them all neatly, why can't we defeat them now? Won?"
The staff shook his head and sighed, not daring to say much. He had said the words of admonition many times, but Zheng Tian never listened.
Zheng Tian holds the military power that makes the world jealous, of course he is eager to make contributions, otherwise the military power will be unstable, but the more eager he is, the easier it is to make mistakes.
When Zheng Tian was impatient and helpless, his personal soldiers hurried over to report: "Commander, the big thing is not good, someone is going to rebel!"
Zheng Tian stood up in surprise, his face changed greatly: "What are you talking about? Who wants to rebel?"
"The Marching Sima Li Changyan, Song Wentong, Wang Jian and other generals have already rushed over with their troops, and they are about to surround the Jiedu Mission's Mansion!" the soldiers said eagerly.
"Bold!" Zheng Tian was so angry that he hurried out and led people towards the gate.
When he got to the door, he saw a dark area outside, full of armored warriors. Right in front of the gate, there was a group of armored monks with powerful auras, staring at the mansion. The three leaders were Li Changyan, Li Maozhen, and Wang Jian.
"What are you doing? Do you want to rebel?!" Zheng Tian scolded angrily.
Li Changyan said coldly: "The commander-in-chief doesn't know the soldiers, and he said lightly about going out several times, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers. Now the soldiers want to ask the commander-in-chief to abdicate to let the virtuous, and also ask the commander-in-chief to follow the morale of the army."
"You... talking nonsense! Li Changyan, the commander-in-chief trusts you so much, let you lead the army, how can you be so ungrateful, do you want to betray the country and surrender to the culprits?!" Zheng Tian pointed Li Changyan scolded with his nose.
"How can we surrender the bandits when we are loyal and courageous, and sacrifice our lives to serve the country? Just ask the commander to hand over the military talisman!" Li Changyan said indifferently.
Zheng Tian wanted to say something, but Li Maozhen was already impatient, "The matter has come to this, why should the commander talk too much? All the soldiers obey the order and kill!"
The armored fighters immediately swarmed up, and Zheng Tian's soldiers did their part to fight with each other.
On that day, Zheng Tian was besieged by Li Changyan, unable to control his movements, so he had to escape from Fengxiang and hurried to Shuzhong.
Afterwards, Li Yan appointed Zheng Tian, who had fled to Chengdu, as Prince Shaofu, and Li Changyan as Fengxiang's envoy, still ordering Fengxiang to send troops to crusade against Huang Chao.
After Li Changyan succeeded Fengxiang as Jiedu envoy, he did not rush to go out to fight, but prepared his troops vigorously. Wang Jian and Li Maozhen were reused by Li Changyan to lead the Ma Bujun respectively and became one of the most powerful figures in Fengxiang.
...
In the middle of Shu, outside the city of Chengdu, the Xichuan army camp.
The fierce battle in the barracks was in full swing, and there were bloody soldiers everywhere. This battle of tens of thousands of people lasted only two hours, and the situation was already clear. The attacked Xichuan army suffered heavy losses, and retreated step by step, leaving countless corpses along the way, while the troops responsible for attacking all walks of life marched forward triumphantly.
Tian Lingzi stood on the gate of the barracks, staring at the battle in front of him coldly, his brows remained unchanged, obviously not very satisfied with the progress in front of him.
"The military order of our family, if Guo Qi's head can no longer be taken after half an hour, all generals above the commander will come to see him!" Tian Lingzi ordered coldly.
