Chapter 475
(Thanks to 110505152821 for the monthly ticket support, there is only one monthly ticket, I want to cry. Today I felt so painful that my cervical spine was still typing. Last month I updated 136 chapters, almost 500,000 words. This month is the month of history, and Muzi will definitely work harder. Brothers, give Muzi a few more votes during the double period. Muzi will work harder to update the rewards!)
-----------------------------------------------
The ten-vote commanders were not worried about the encirclement and suppression of the Tianping Army. To be honest, the four prefectures of Cao Pu and Yun Ji of the Tianping Army, except for Yunzhou where the Tianping Army Commander's Mansion, were all captured by them one after another. Although the Tianping Army boasted that they had defeated the thieves and recovered Zhucheng one after another, it was actually just that the Cao army voluntarily retreated.
Besides, although they still occupy the cities of Jeju, in fact, Wang Xianzhi, the commander of the Cao Army, had already moved his camp to Qianfeng City between the mountains. Qianfeng City was in Yanzhou. Yanzhou had already left the jurisdiction of the Tianping Army, which belonged to the four prefectures of Yanhai and Yimi, which belonged to the Taining Army. Just like they were in Changyuan, Huazhou, Yicheng Army, when they were in the Yicheng Army, Li Zong finally led his army to come and they jumped directly to Caozhou of the Tianping Army. As a result, Li Zong had not yet reached the border and went back.
"General, I don't think we need to worry about Xue Chong and Tianping Army. I speak rashly, and ask the general to forgive me." Huang Chao's nephew, Lin Yan, the military envoy in the front wing, was not loud, but whenever he spoke, he could make even the tallest people listen quietly. He was only over 20 years old. But he was very tall, nearly eight feet tall, with red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, and a very white face. Like Huang Chao, he was also a scholar. However, he practiced martial arts since childhood. Not only did he have good martial arts skills, but he also had good literary talent. He once obtained the qualification for a rural tribute. He went to Chang'an with Huang Chao to participate in the imperial examination. Huang Chao failed to finish the imperial examination. He wrote the poem I had to go to the flower blossom and kill the hundred flowers. When the whole city was covered with golden armor, he was only sixteen years old. He did not win that time, and after returning home, he resolutely threw down the book. Huang Chao also sold salt together.
Although he is not old, he is Huang Chao's confidant. The one thousand soldiers and horses in the front wing he commands are the most elite soldiers and horses under Huang Chao.
Wang Xianzhi smiled: "Lin Du said anything, he is all his own family, so you don't have to be so polite."
Lin Yan's eyes are very thin. They always give people a squinting feeling, but they make people feel that he is always staring at you, which makes people feel upset. "If Xue Chong leads his army to attack, then we will directly withdraw the troops from Jeju and retreat to Qianfeng City in Yanzhou. According to the experience of the Yicheng Army last time, the Tang army's various vassal states sweep the snow in front of the door. No matter what others are on the tiles, as long as we retreat into Yanzhou, I am afraid Xue Chong will not chase him to Yanzhou, right?"
"We can indeed retreat into Yanzhou, but I think we have 20,000 soldiers and horses in our hands now, which is strong. At this time, the heroes and heroes in the world are all watching us. How can we keep running away when we see the official army? This will affect our morale. The bigger the team, the more important the people's hearts are. If the people's hearts are dispersed, this team will be difficult to lead. Besides, we can't always retreat, right? Looking at the various vassal states, Xue Chong of the Tianping Army is the most
One of the candids, and the Tianping Army is also the hometown of our Cao Army brothers. I don’t want to leave my hometown with my brothers. Why don’t we take this opportunity to fight Xue Chong? If we can defeat Xue Chong this time, we can kill another shot and capture Cao Pu and Yun Ji together. At that time, we will directly ask the court to be appointed as the governor of the Tianping Army. In the future, the entire Tianping Army will be our own territory. Wouldn’t that be better?”
Wang Xianzhi's words were very inflammatory. The backbone of the Cao Army was all private salt vendors. This was just a group of desperate outlaws. They had no lofty goals, just like Wang Xianzhi himself. They were forced to survive by the government and had no choice but to rebel. But they had never thought about asking them to rebel and dominate those. Now Wang Xianzhi has painted a bright future for everyone, which made Shang Junchang and others very moved.
"Brothers, the Shatuo people are strong, but they are still wiped out by the court. Although our Cao Army is also very powerful, I think we are not as good as the Yaer Army than Li Guochang and his son. Since we can't defeat the officials and soldiers of the court, we have to make some preparations earlier. I think that if we can really have a piece of our own territory like the three towns in Hebei, even if we accept rewards from the court on the surface, it would be nothing."
When the generals heard this, they were even more moved. Who wouldn't know that Lu Long, Cheng De, and Wei Bo were all forces with troops to separatist and independent forces. The court could not control them at all. The tax they collected did not have to be paid, and the court's troops could not enter their territory. It was simply an independent kingdom. If they could do this, it would naturally be better than running around with their heads all day long.
Everyone wanted to hear Wang Xianzhi say some more details, but at this time Huang Chao raised his hand expressionlessly.
"The General wants to recruit you?"
As he spoke, Huang Chao stared at him coldly, like a hungry wolf in the dark night.
Wang Xianzhi felt a little uncomfortable when he was staring at him like this, but he felt that he had not discussed it with the deputy governor in advance, and was a little guilty. He said with a sneer, "Everyone says that killing people and setting fires and being recruited. Judging from the current situation, although the Tang Dynasty is rotten, the centipede insects will die without being stiff. Isn't there a saying that a thin camel is bigger than a horse? I am also trying to find a way out for my brothers."
"Recruiting peace, how can you help me!" Huang Chao suddenly slapped the table heavily and shouted angrily, which made the room silent.
Huang Chao glanced over the generals coldly and said with a sneer: "Do you think that killing officials is the same as playing? You think recruiting them is so easy? Think about it, in the Xuzhou Chongxun Rebellion six years ago, when Chongxun went to several states in Jianghuai, with 200,000 troops, how powerful it is. He repeatedly defeated the official army. He also wrote a letter to recruit the Wuning Army, thinking of a military governor in Wuning Army? But what in the end? Although the court was defeated repeatedly, he simply disagreed with Pang Xun's request for recruitment. He fought for a few years and killed them all? Even the later Wuning Army's silver sword warriors of Xuzhou, the later official army, drove away the military governors sent by the court several times because of their charm. As a result, Wang Shi fought with the Qiu Fu rebels. After Wang Shi, who had fought for eighty-three times in three days and won 83 times in a row, he simply designed to kill all the troops of the Wuning Army in Xuzhou, leaving only three thousand people."
Huang Chao became more and more excited as he spoke, "Think about it, Pang Xun was so powerful at the beginning. There were so many soldiers and horses, and the court refused to invite him. Why did they recruit us? Even if he recruited him, would the court be trustworthy? They could even kill all their soldiers, so you are not afraid of being killed suddenly after recruiting him? Not to mention the distance, it was Gao Pian, the former governor of Tianping Army, the current governor of Xichuan. You have never heard of him after he took office in Xichuan, because he regained the three thousand Tu generals promoted by his predecessor, which caused Tu generals to rise up and forced him into a pit before he escaped. As a result, he restored the promotion and rewards of Tu generals at that time, and said that he would never pursue them afterwards, but in fact? In fact, a month later, Gao Pian suddenly sent him to kill the Tu generals from door to door in a dark night, and confiscated the family."
Wang Xianzhi was silent when Huang Chao said that. Many other generals were hearing these things for the first time. They couldn't help but lose their favor, and they were very interested in recruiting the amnesty for a while. After all, it would be a good thing to recruit the amnesty. But if this is the case, it would be meaningless to recruit the amnesty, which is hard to guarantee the life.
Seeing that Wang Xianzhi's face turned ugly, Huang Chao calmed down his tone. "General, it is not impossible to discuss recruiting the people, but at least, we must have that strength. If we reach the level of the three towns in Hebei, we will naturally not be afraid of the court. At that time, we will accept the recruitment of rewards from one town, which will be a good thing for the general to all our brothers. But before we have that strength, if we always have the idea of recruiting the people in our hearts, we are afraid that we will not be able to accomplish great things."
"I mean exactly that." Wang Xianzhi said embarrassedly.
The room was quiet for a while and the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn.
Seeing this scene, Wang Xianzhi had no choice but to say, "Then we won't invite you, we will be very happy. Let's fight with the government army until they hurt, and they will take the initiative to recruit you. We won't mention him about the recruitment, but Xue Chong now has eight thousand elite soldiers, and I think he is likely to send troops to deal with us. Besides, the governor of Taining Army Li Shi is the grandson of Li Sheng, the prince of Xiping County. He heard that this person is proficient in military writing and fighting strategies, and is very extraordinary. Li Sheng
The famous general of the middle Tang Dynasty, Li Jun, once defeated Caizhou on a snowy night and established achievements that the world sang. Among the generals in Hedong, Li Jun, the governor of Zhaoyi and Li Zhuo, the governor of Heyang, were all brothers of Li Jun. Then Li Jun and Li Zhuo were both good, and this person was probably much stronger than Xue Chong. If the Li army and Xue Chong sent troops together, we would be in trouble. Otherwise, we might as well go south to Yizhou and go to the Jianghuai area."
"I don't agree with going south at this time!" To Wang Xianzhi's surprise, Huang Chao actually opposed his proposal again. This made Wang Xianzhi look dark. Could it be that Huang Chao came to oppose him today, which made him feel that his prestige of the general was a little damaged, and his face became even more ugly.
He saw anger flashing in Wang Xianzhi's eyes, but the fire flashed in a flash, and the head of Wang who could always get along with his brothers. "What does Vice President Huang think? Tell me what do you think."
Huang Chao sighed, "The Li family is just a playboy, not much better than Xue Chong. He is just another Zhao Kuo who talks about war on paper." When he was in Chang'an, he heard of the reputation of the Li family. He was a child prodigy when he was young and memorized the military books and war strategies. However, he also heard that many people in the Li family were not optimistic about it, but they just relied on their family background. The Li family and Gao Pian's grandfather were both awarded the title of princes. Compared with his grandfather, Li Sheng, the ancestor of the Li family, was a famous general in the middle Tang Dynasty and had the merit of recreating the Tang Dynasty. Gao Pian's grandfather was much worse. But if Gao Pian and Li family were compared with Gao Pian, the Li family was far inferior to Gao Pian.
"Now around us, one is a fool Xue Chong, the other is a Li Shi who talks about war on paper, and there is also a Shaoqing Jiedushi who once served as the General of the Zuowei Guard. Song Wei is a man of a famous person. Six years ago, when Pang Xun mutiny in Xuzhou, Song Wei served as the northwest recruitment envoy of Xuzhou, conquering Xiaoxian, and making contributions to the final elimination of Pang Xun. Five years ago, the Emperor Chief Long of Nanzhao invaded Tang for the sixth time, and was the Zuowu Guard Shang. At that time, he served as the Zuowu Guard Shang. Five years ago, Emperor Nanzhao, Chief Long, invaded Tang for the sixth time, and was the Zuowu Guard Shang.
The general Song Wei led 2,000 Zhongwu troops to rescue Chengdu, defeated the Nanzhao army in Xindu, killed more than 5,000 enemies, and even made his name for Song Wei's "power". However, Song Wei is still busy slapping the fire in his backyard. Wang Jingwu's rebellion has not been quelled, and the Dengzhou and Zhenguo troops under his jurisdiction have been divided into new vassal states. This is a big blow to Song Wei. Therefore, it is impossible for him to favor threats against the Cao army in a short time."
Huang Chao pinched his already gray beard and resolutely said: "The General just said that, the morale and morale of the army will become more important. If we keep avoiding the war and the people's hearts dispersed, the team will be difficult to lead the team in the future. Therefore, I think this battle can be fought to revive our reputation as a grass army and shock the official army. First destroy Xue Chong, and then defeat the Li army. In the more than ten states east of Henan, no one can threaten us."
"General, some support your decision."
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Wang Xianzhi said, and the feeling of relief was clearly visible under the politeness on his face.
