Late Tang

Hezhong Town Jiedu envoy Han Wang Wang Chongrong has been a little restless recently, Zhang Juyan has been a little outrageous recently, this guy who used to be just Huang Chao's logistics manager, has been Huang Chao's official secretary since he entered Chang'an, not a front-line soldier general.In conclusion, among Huang Chao's subordinates, compared with Ge Congzhou, Huo Cun, Zhang Guiba, Zhu Quanzhong, Lin Yan, and even Meng Kai, he is considered to be less experienced in the upper army.But it is such a guy who has defeated the Tang army's six towns in a short period of time.

Now Wang Chongrong no longer wants to beat the dog in the water and make any contribution to ZTE.What he thought was that due to several defeats of the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front, Huang Chao might bring the main force to his Hezhong Town.This is not just his guess, but more and more evidence shows that Huang Chao is likely to abandon Chang'an and come to Hezhong.On the western front, there were Wang Duo and the Yang brothers, two large armies who had been standing still, with a combined number of more than 10 horses.

What's more, the Jinshang Hanshui area is also poor now, and there is no food and grass to raise on the road.On the eastern front, the coalition forces had already been defeated several times and were unable to intercept them. As long as they crossed the Yellow River, Hezhong Town would be extremely rich, and even Heyang and Hedong Towns next to it could be considered relatively rich.

There is also secret and uncertain news that Huang Chao intends to accept Qin Fan's recruitment, and wants to enter Hebei via the river and surrender to Li Jing.Although this news is somewhat implausible, it is not impossible.Li Jing now has a lot of former Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao's generals surrendering to him.

Li Quanzhong and Zhuge Shuang are now huddled in Tongguan, and the two prefectures of Tonghua basically fall into the hands of Zhang Juyan.After the defeat of the Baoda army in Longshang, they also retreated to the town and refused to accept Wang Duo's military order to send aid. Although Li Sigong, who was in trouble, sent troops.But that crawls at the same speed.It is impossible to expect him to come to reinforce and intercept Huang Chao.Even brothers Yang Fuguang and Wang Duo and their two armies.It's also hard to count on.Nowadays, these guys are more and more shrewd, and each of them is holding a soldier and horse and refuses to really work hard.

All are preserving strength!

Wang Chongrong is really under a lot of pressure now, when he saw that those desperadoes had set their blood-red eyes on him, and soon, the Qi army all over the mountains and plains would come towards the river with white flags, and he felt a headache.

How to do?

Wang Chongduo immediately asked the capital commander Wang Duo for help, not long ago.Wang Chongrong, who was already Yang Fuguang's adopted son, recognized Wang Duo as his uncle.Although Wang Duo and Wang Chongrong are both surnamed Wang, they are actually not of the same family at all.However, this did not prevent him from dating relatives. Wang Duo did not refuse this nephew who took the initiative to recognize him, but was very satisfied.Although he was appointed by Tian Lingzi to be the capital, but as soon as Sanchuan, he had already turned to Brother Yang Fuguang. He clearly saw that Tian Lingzi could be the emperor of the soil in Sanchuan, but he could only be the emperor of the soil in Sanchuan. That's all, even if he held the emperor hostage.But he is not the opponent of the Yang brothers, he cannot come out of Sanchuan again.therefore.He was very knowledgeable about current affairs and immediately turned to the Yang brothers. Now that Wang Chongrong wants to recognize him as his uncle, he is of course very happy.Recognizing Wang Chongrong as his nephew, he can be regarded as having a relationship with Yang Fuguang in a disguised form, and they have become a pair of god brothers.

Wang Chongrong asked his uncle for reinforcements, but Wang Duo was still west of Chang'an, he had tens of thousands of horses in his hands, but he didn't dare to go around Chang'an.He immediately gave Wang Chongrong an idea, go find your godfather, he is close to you and has many soldiers.

The request for help was transferred to Yang Fuguang. Yang Fuguang, who was stationed in Fengtian City, faced the envoy after reading the letter. After a long time, he shook his head and said a lot. Difficult to walk away.Said that they need to keep an eye on Fengtian and the southwest of Chang'an to prevent Huang Chao from escaping from Lantian Wuguan.However, Yang Fuguang did not completely ignore his godson Wang Chongrong. After all, Hezhong Town is a big town, and it is a wealthy and important town. Even his eight capitals and military salaries mostly come from Hezhong Town.

In the end, like Wang Duo, he gave Wang Chongrong an idea.

"Li Ya'er, the king of Jin in Hedong, has always been a great talent and martial arts, and powerful in the world, and Fei Huzi and Chongrong are both adopted sons of a certain person. Now that the river is in trouble, you can ask him for help. Fei Huzi has always been loyal and disregarding difficulties. As long as he sends a messenger to Hedong, he will definitely lead the army to arrive immediately. At that time, there will be Hezhong and Hedong, plus the Zhen army, Heyang army, and the second army of Dingnan and Baoda. Even if Huang Chao really dares to send troops to the east, he will be destroyed just around the corner."

In fact, Yang Fuguang did not have no soldiers, he had a large army, but he was not willing to save Wang Chongrong.First, he thinks that Huang Chao will most likely still choose to go to Shannan from the southwest of Chang'an via Lantian and Wuguan, and then go directly to Jingnan, Hunan, Jiangxi, and even Guangdong and Fujian and other weaker feudal towns to renew their wandering way of fighting.Second, Yang Fuguang was stationed in Fengtian, and he was unwilling to leave Chang'an too far at this time. He was waiting for Huang Chao to withdraw from Chang'an on his own initiative, so that he could lead the army to recover Chang'an as soon as possible.

The meritorious service of restoring Chang'an is great, and the land of Chang'an cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of other feudal towns.Now that the Yang brothers have left the emperor, they want to build a career in troubled times, and they need the land of Chang'an.Another thing is that when Li Keyong was sent to Hedong, it was because of his deep grievances with Li Jing and his rich experience in fighting the Qin army. They are constantly recruiting soldiers and buying horses, storing food and building the city, which makes the Yang brothers a little dissatisfied and relieved.It happened to take this opportunity to summon Li Keyong to destroy Huang Chao first, and also to take the opportunity to put a hoop on his head so that it would be difficult to control.

In June, Li Keyong received a joint order from Wang Duo, the governor of the capital, Yang Fuguang, the governor of the capital, and Yang Fugong, the twelve military envoys, asking him to lead the River East Army to the southeast and join forces with Wang Chongrong, Zhuge Shuang, Li Quanzhong, Li Sigong, Dongfang Kui and others worked together to stabilize the eastern front to prevent Huang Chao from fleeing from Tongguan into Henan, or from Puban into Hedong. Wuguan fled.

Brother Yang Fuguang and Wang Duo built three lines of defense around Chang'an, east, west and south, and began to advance towards Chang'an step by step.

Although Li Keyong has been scolded by many people for being untrustworthy, he has one characteristic, that is, his surname is straightforward and careless. When Wang Chongrong lost his Yanmen lair, he gave him food and support. He was very grateful for winning him the land in Hedong.And he also knows in his heart who is the friend and who is the enemy right now.Although he won the important town of Hedong, he knew that his enemies were stronger now, without allies such as Yang Fuguang and Wang Chongrong, he would be helpless.

In mid-June, Li Keyong kept [-] elite troops and [-] new recruits to stay in Hedong. Then he personally led [-] veterans and [-] new recruits to go south to Hezhong.

At the beginning of July, Li Ke's 7 horses arrived in Hezhong, and Wang Chongrong took the initiative to undertake all the grain supplies for the Hedong Army.When this army arrived at Hezhong Mansion all the way, it had completely changed its appearance, and it was no longer the pitiful appearance when it went north to Hedong.They were all dressed in black and black armor, and uniform military robes. Twenty thousand veterans were all equipped with iron armor. The army has a bit of the momentum of the Shatuo army.The remaining [-] recruits, although they were just a group of rabble not long ago, at least now they are all wearing uniform and neat black military robes, and they look a bit like an army.

When the 7 horses arrived in the river, it was like a dark cloud engulfed in a thunderstorm, rolling across the wilderness, exuding an astonishing momentum.

After Li Keyong arrived in the middle of the river, Wang Chongrong came to work with a large amount of wine and meat.At this time, Huang Chao's army had completely occupied Tongzhou. Zhang Juyan and Lin Yan joined forces and arrived at the bank of the Yellow River. come.

Although the Hezhong army had many soldiers and horses, Wang Chongrong had no fighting spirit at all.He pinned all his hopes on Li Keyong, counting on Fei Huzi to show his might.The four towns of Li Quanzhong, Zhuge Shuang, Dongfang Kui and Li Sigong were completely hopeless, and none of them arrived as scheduled.

After eating and drinking enough, Li Keyong sent general Li Cunzhang to lead five hundred elite real Shatuo cavalry to cross the Yellow River at night and land quietly in Tongzhou.When the Qi army arrived after hearing the news, Li Cunzhang had already crossed the river and landed, and the two armies were fighting.

There is almost no suspense. The Qi army, which has been winning many battles recently, was defeated this time after a burst of assault by the Shatuo cavalry, which was six times as many as the Shatuo cavalry.

Although this was only a small-scale encounter, the fierceness of the Shatuo army began to spread rapidly among the Qi army like a stroke.

Many people said in a terrified tone, "Li Ya'er is here!"

After Huang Chao received the news that Li Keyong had led his troops south and that the striker had entered Guanzhong, he immediately sent more than a hundred members of Li Keyong's tribe who had stayed in Chang'an and had no time to withdraw, as a meeting gift, and sent them to Li Keyong's barracks, and sent them along with the army. A hundred carts of gold, silver and jewelry were brought in. The value of this batch of gold, silver and jewelry was astonishing and shining.Even the Shatuo generals, who have seen many things in the world, couldn't help but stare straight.

The Huang Chao envoy who sent the treasure suggested to Li Jing that the Tang Dynasty was the enemy of the Qi army, but it was also the enemy of the Shatuo tribe.An enemy of an enemy is a friend.Why should everyone kill each other, it is better to work together.

"After defeating the Tang army, the two sides took the Yellow River as the boundary. The Hedong, Hebei, Liaoxi, Liaodong to the north of the Yellow River all belonged to the Shatuo Kingdom, and the Guanlong, Sanchuan, Jianghan, Henan, and Jiangnan to the south of the Yellow River all belonged to the Qi Kingdom. good?". )
