subvert the late Tang Dynasty

None of them expected that Zhu Zhen could come so quickly. As soon as everyone went out, they saw Zhu Zhen getting off her horse. The delicate mountain-patterned armor was covered with dust, and her face was also covered with dust. She looked slightly embarrassed, but she couldn't hide his expression. The sturdy spirit.

Ding Hui and Niu Cunjie hurried forward to meet Zhu Zhen, the commander of the capital, and the three exchanged a few pleasantries. Zhu Zhen looked up and saw Zhu Yu who was standing in the distance and smiling at her. At this moment, Zhu Zhen felt a little embarrassed, after all In the past, I was just a child in front of Zhu Yu, and suddenly I became a general commanding Fang Qiu. Seeing Zhu Yu under such circumstances, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Zhu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly, "Little brother Zhu Zhen has seen big brother."

Zhu Yu quickly helped Zhu Zhen up, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we brothers haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Last time I went to Bianliang, you just went out to fight. I can't help but regret that I didn't see you. Seeing you like this now Promising, as an older brother, I feel very gratified."

Zhu Zhen hurriedly said: "When I was young, my elder brother always taught my younger brother the principles of life. My younger brother never dared to forget it. Now I can achieve what I am today, thanks to my third brother's cultivation and trust... I haven't seen you for many years, and my elder brother has lost a lot of weight."

The two brothers exchanged a few more pleasantries and said some homely things, Zhu Zhen said: "Brother, now Dangshan has become a battlefield, why don't you rush to Bianliang to reunite with the third brother and the old lady? What if there is any accident here?" If not, I can't explain it to the third brother and the old lady."

Zhu Yu laughed and said: "Brother Zhen, who doesn't know that you are a general who has won many victories in recent years. You have never been defeated in battle. You have made countless contributions for your third brother. With you here, what am I afraid of? Give Shi Pu an army of [-], and it may not be your opponent, brother Zhen."

Zhu Zhen hurriedly said modestly: "Brother, don't praise me, be careful little brother, I'll come back from an injury in a while, so don't laugh at me, brother."

Zhu Yu asked, "I heard from General Ding that you might not arrive at Dangshan in two or three days. Why are you here now?"

Zhu Zhen said: "I was worried about the safety of my elder brother, so I only brought five thousand cavalry, leaving the whole army behind, and rushed here day and night, just to see my elder brother."

Zhu Yu smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still so talkative, is it itchy?"

Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "For so many years, I haven't heard the teachings from my eldest brother. Although the third brother also teaches us from time to time, but now the third brother is busy with work, and it is very difficult to see each other. How can he have time to teach us?"

Zhu Yu smiled and said, "Stop rambling here. I heard that your son is seven or eight years old, and you still use others to teach you?"

The two laughed loudly, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. The county magistrate Liu Chong had already arranged a banquet, and there was nothing delicious in the small place, such as braised lion's head, braised lobster in oil, stewed Yellow River carp, etc.Fortunately, Zhu Zhen's hometown is in Xiao County, and Xiao County and Dangshan are only seventy or eighty miles away. They have similar eating and living habits, and they don't pay much attention to them.These years Zhu Zhen has been fighting outside all the year round, and now that she can eat authentic hometown dishes, she can't help but feel a sense of intimacy.When she heard that the county magistrate here was Liu Chong, Zhu Zhen smiled.

This kid Liu Chong is as timid as a mouse, Zhu Zhen is very clear about it, Zhu Zhen spent a few months in Dangshan dealing with Liu Chong, knowing that this kid is not only timid, but also stingy, the first day he came, Zhu Wen borrowed a pot from Liu Chong's house and was almost regarded as a pot thief by Liu Chong.

However, if Liu Chong hadn't lent them ten taels of silver to let them go out to make a living, I am afraid that I, Zhu Wen and others are still hunting and farming in my hometown in Dangshan. I think I can have my current achievements thanks to Liu Chong.Zhu Zhen is a nostalgic person, so she immediately asked Liu Chong to come and sit down and drink together.

Zhu Zhen, Ding Hui, and Niu Cunjie are all very powerful, but now that the war is tense, the three of them are not drinking too much, and Liu Chong has a low official position and is a little cautious. I used to reprimand others, and now I am even more embarrassed, so I said I was full after not eating much, and got up to leave.

Zhu Zhen didn't force her to stay, and sent Liu Chong away. Zhu Yu explained her plan to Zhu Zhen, and Zhu Zhen said excitedly: "This is a plan to build plank roads in the open, and to hide the old warehouse in the dark. I really didn't expect that the eldest brother is still a member Confucian general, the younger brother punished himself with three cups..."

Ding Hui hurriedly said: "Commanders, I don't think you should drink this wine. Just make up your mind. After all, this is an extraordinary period. This is the front line of the war. The Xuzhou army may launch an attack at any time. Before the Xuzhou army arrives , I think I will go back to Bozhou with Niudu first, and general Pang will fight Suzhou first, and then talk about it. As for the two counties of Guoyang County and Mengcheng County, there is nothing to worry about."

Zhu Zhen also agreed very much, but Zhu Zhen asked Ding Hui to take away all 5000 troops, leaving only his own [-] cavalry to defend the city. Ding Hui was a little worried at first, but when he saw Zhu Zhen's team, most of them were equipped with The musket, he was relieved.When Ge Congzhou rescued Luoyang and Heyang, Ding Hui was also in the army. Ding Hui commanded the battle against Li Hanzhi in Heyang. At that time, the army was also equipped with [-] muskets. Of course, he was very clear that he was carrying a newly manufactured revolver in his waist now.

Sometimes time is the key to victory or defeat for both parties in a war. This is the case now. Zhu Zhen arranged for Ding Hui and Niu Cunjie to leave, and told some matters that need attention, and asked Kuai Ma to urge to bring a large group of infantry Li Tangbin rushed to Dangshan at the fastest speed.

They are all in a race against time. Ding Hui and Pang Shigu's coalition forces will take down Suzhou before Shi Pu finds out, and Li Tangbin must try his best to reach Dangshan before Shi Pu besieges Dangshan. Zhu Zhen knows this very well. If it is not good, it will suffer a big loss.

Fortunately, Li Tangbin arrived at Dangshan on the second night, and the Xuzhou army in Yongzhou had not yet arrived at Dangshan. This made Zhu Zhen very happy, and her confidence in victory increased a bit.

In order to contain the troops of the Xuzhou Army, Zhu Zhen frequently sent cavalry to attack nearby villages and towns of the Xuzhou Army, and set up a large camp outside the city. In the battalion, on the contrary, most of the infantry were stationed in Dangshan County. At this time, because the cavalry was more mobile, the cavalry lived in the camp outside the city, so that they could go into battle at any time, which was much better than in the city.If it is in the city, it is not easy for the cavalry to exert its power.

Dangshan county town and the camp outside the city are mutual horns, supporting each other, even if Shi Pu came here for a while, they may not be able to do anything to them.Zhu Zhen also recruited troops and peasants from the local area, as if to attack Yongzhou, but in fact it was to contain the enemy's forces in Yongzhou so that Ding Hui, Niu Cunjie, and Pang Shigu could attack Suzhou.

Everything is well arranged, now what Zhu Zhen has to do is to wait for news from Suzhou.

At the same time, Ding Hui and Niu Cunjie's 1 horses had arrived in Bozhou. They discussed with Pang Shigu. Pang Shigu was not very old, only 25 or [-] years old, but he was already second only to Zhu Zhen in Zhu Wen's army. General.He heard that this strategy was proposed by the prince's eldest brother, and approved by Zhu Zhen, not to mention the official document of Zhu Zhen, the commander of the capital. Heshi Shucong attacked Guoyang County, Ding Hui and Niu Cunjie attacked Mengcheng County, and then the two groups joined forces in Suzhou.

The two groups of people set off in the dark, because they have been fighting for many years. Of course, they know the importance of time. Once Shi Pu reacts, it will cost ten times more to attack a big city like Suzhou. strength.

There is no suspense in the battle between Guoyang County and Mengcheng County. The defenders in the two counties are less than a thousand, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. When the army comes to attack, of course they can only flee on the lookout.

But who are Pang Shigu and Dinghui, how can they escape to report the news?They had already made preparations, ambushed troops outside the city, and took away the defenders of the two county towns, even those who escaped from the city beforehand were not spared.Now is an extraordinary period, and extraordinary means must be used. Most of the prisoners were killed on the spot, and some were retained, but no one was allowed to leave the city to prevent leaks.

After leaving some people to guard the city, Pang Shigu continued eastward, daring to go to Suzhou.Suzhou and Suqian are Shi Pu's rear areas, and the supply of food and grass for the war depends on these two prefectures. Once these two cities are conquered, Shi Pu will only have Xuzhou and Yongzhou. The army can only be beaten.

Zhang You, the governor of Suzhou, is writing a poem in the government office. He is in a good mood, because Shi Pu's army is preparing to attack the Xuanwu Army. As Suzhou is the base for logistics supplies, Shi Pu will of course try to appease him. It's an honor, of course, it has something to do with his ability, he thought.

Just when he was shaking his head and enjoying himself, he suddenly heard the noise of people outside, and a servant of the government office ran in in a panic and said: "The big thing is not right, my lord, the Xuanwu Army's army has arrived at the city and surrounded Suzhou. , the outside is full of enemy troops, I don’t know how many there are, there are about 5 to [-] people..."

Zhang You was startled, the hand holding the wolf hair trembled, and a ball of thick ink dripped onto the paper...
