subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Huainan was also uneasy. Qin Zongquan had been suppressed by Zhu Wen in the war in the north, and he couldn't hold his head up. Zhao Dezhen took refuge in Zhu Wen again, and Sun Ru refused to listen to his orders.Qin Zongquan had to plunder Huainan to maintain military supplies.

In the name of Gao Pian, Lu Yongzhi ordered Bi Shiduo, the military envoy of the left wing of Huainan, to lead troops north to Gaoyou to resist Qin Zongquan.

However, Lu Yongzhi snatched Bi Shiduo's wives and concubines while Bi Shiduo was out to fight. Bi Shiduo was naturally furious, and wanted to join forces from all states and counties to return to Yangzhou and kill Lu Yongzhi, Zhang Shouyi and others.He was also afraid of insufficient troops, so he dared not act rashly.

Zhang Xiong, the guard of Gaoyou, was Bi Shiduo's in-laws, and Bi Shiduo's daughter married Zhang Xiong's son. To put it bluntly, Gaoyou was under the jurisdiction of Luzhou and belonged to Yang Xingmi's deployment.Zhang Xiongben was also an old subordinate who followed Yang Xingmi back then, and they were all old subordinates who followed Huang Chao back then. Bi Shiduo was also a general of Huang Chao, so Bi Shiduo became friends with Yang Xingmi and Zhang Xiongsu.Back then, Bi Shiduo cooperated with Yang Xingmi to ambush Gao Pian by the Yangtze River. Bi Shiduo was captured to cover Yang Xingmi, and Yang Xingmi was severely injured by Gao Pian, and his martial arts was disabled.

Later, Bi Shiduo surrendered to Gao Pian in desperation, and Yang Xingmi was abolished in martial arts, so he could only practice again. He returned to his hometown in Luzhou (Hefei, Anhui) and lived in seclusion for two years. Later, he joined the imperial army and was assigned to garrison in Shuofang.After returning to Luzhou, he incited the Luzhou defenders to kill the governor, soldiers and horse envoys and others, and served as the governor of Luzhou himself. Since then, he has taken root in Luzhou and developed his influence everywhere.

Zhang Xiong is Yang Xingmi's old subordinate. Because of his outstanding swordsmanship, he has a nickname in Jianghu called Zhang Shenjian. The title of this sword is not blown out. Even Bi Shiduo, who is very arrogant, is ashamed of himself. The two have been friends for many years , and in-laws again, so of course Bi Shiduo had to discuss with Zhang Xiong if he wanted to fight Yangzhou.

Zhang Xiong also despised Lu Yongzhi's behavior, but he kept his mind open and refused to agree to Bi Shiduo first, and reported the situation to Yang Xingmi first.

Yang Xingmi received a secret report that he had intended to occupy Huainan, but suffered from insufficient troops, and now Bi Shiduo wanted to send troops to attack Yangzhou, which happened to follow his wish.But where is Yangzhou?Gao Pian, Lu Yongzhi and others have been operating there for several years, how can Bi Shiduo's two or three thousand soldiers and horses be able to defeat them?

Not to mention the [-] to [-] troops in Huainan, there are more than [-] people in Guangling City, the governing body of Yangzhou.

Zhang Xiong received Yang Xingmi's secret letter, and said to Bi Shiduo: "Lu Yongzhi monopolizes the power, and the people in Huainan complain a lot, but the situation is stronger than others. The army in Huainan is under the control of Lu Yongzhi. We have less than 3000 troops. Isn't it like hitting a stone with a pebble?" ?”

Bi Shiduo said: "Don't worry about this, Huaikou guard Zheng Hanzhang is my good friend, he also hates Lu Yongzhi deeply, I have already sent him a secret letter, I think there will be a reply within two days. Xuanzhou Observer Qin Yan and I were both generals under the command of King Huang, and we are also close friends. I have notified him to attack Yangzhou together. I promised to let him be the governor of Huainan after Yangzhou was captured. He has already promised to send troops for three Thousands of elites raided Yangzhou, and our combined forces will definitely be able to take down Guangling City, and the garrisons from all over the country will definitely not send troops to rescue them when they hear that we have killed Lu Yongzhi."

Zhang Xiong heard that Qin Yan also came to join in the fun, so he knew that the chances of winning the battle against Guangling were a little higher.
