Chapter 17 Wang Shifan's Crusade against Zhu Wen(2/2)

!”

Although Li Maozhen did not believe in his sincerity, it was always beneficial and harmless to him to regain Lord Jingnan after a major defeat. So he accepted it happily, and while reorganizing his armaments and preparing to go out, he sent envoys to contact Li Ke separately.

Yong and Wang Jian discussed a plan to jointly deal with Zhu Wen. When Zhu Wen learned the news, he naturally did not dare to take it lightly. Zhu Wen believed that it would be inconvenient to remotely control Zhaozong if he stayed in Chang'an. Now he just used this excuse to move the capital to Luoyang.

Zhu Wen left the Pinglu front line and handed over command of the army to General Yang Shihou.

Besides, after the Huainan army retreated, Yang Xingmi saw that Zhu Wen's main force was in Pinglu, so he set his sights on Ezhou. Yang Xingmi planned to take advantage of Zhu Wen's lack of time to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of Zhu Wen's lack of time to take advantage of it, to deal with Du Hong, the military governor of Wuchang who was attached to Zhu Wen.

In the second year of Guangqi's reign, Zhou Tong, a strong man from Anlu, gathered a crowd to attack Ezhou and escaped during the road trial. Du Hong led his army from Yuezhou to take advantage of the opportunity and occupied Ezhou. He called himself Wuchang Army Jieduliu, which was later recognized by the court.

At this time, Wu Tui from Yongxing attacked Huangzhou, and Luo Yin defended Yongxing. Both of them were from the Tujun Army, and were nominally under the command of the Wuchang Army's Jiedu Envoy. However, they did their own thing and did not follow Du at all.

Du Hong couldn't tolerate Hong's order. He wanted to attack Wu Tui, so he borrowed troops from Huainan Jiedu envoy Yang Xingmi. Yang Xingmi sent general Zhu Yanshou to help, conquered Huangzhou in one fell swoop, captured Wu Tui alive, and later presented him to the court. Luo Yin learned that
