Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 202
Zhu Zhen personally led [-] infantry, and [-] cavalry rushed to help Yingzhou. Although Zuo Huwei's army was infantry, it also had cavalry.

The army brought [-] carts full of [-] shi of grain, crossed the Ru River that day, and then went straight to Yingzhou.

Without the shackles of civilian husbands and auxiliary soldiers, the army moved very fast, and arrived at the city of Yingzhou in two days.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor reprimanded Zhu Wen's angel to hurry up and arrive at Bianliang.

At the mansion of Xuanwu Jiedushi, Zhu Wen was throwing a banquet in honor of Du Rangneng, Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, and representatives of various feudal towns.

The emperor appointed Du Rangneng as the envoy of beheading, and invited people from various towns to watch the execution.

This kind of thing, no feudal town is unwilling, and will give it the face that should be given.

Isn't it just sending an envoy, and some Jiedu envoys from the feudal towns came here in person.

For example, Luo Hongxin, the Jiedu envoy of Wei Bo, among all the Jiedu envoys, Luo Hongxin is the worst. Other Jiedu envoys have more or less real power.

As for Luo Hongxin, what he has to do every day is how to please the gang of tooth soldiers under him. If something goes wrong, the gang of tooth soldiers dare to overturn the table.

Coming to Xuanwu this time also has another meaning, which is to borrow some soldiers and horses. What are these soldiers and horses used for? Zhu Wen is also not sure.

There are quite a few people in the hall, and the Tianping Army, the Taining Army Zhu Xuan and the Zhu Jin brothers, who were tortured by Zhu Wen, all sent envoys. A while ago, Shi Pu, who was almost copied by Zhu Wen from Xuzhou, also sent people here up.

With so many people coming to Xuanwu, the representatives of the Jiedu envoys of the various towns, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhu Wen would feel uncomfortable if they didn't make arrangements.

Sitting in the middle is not Zhu Wen, but Du Rangneng. The one on the left is Zhu Wen, the Jiedu envoy of Xuanwu, and the one on the right is Huang Qizhang, the representative of the Jiedu envoy of Hedong.

Luo Hongxin was the only Jiedu envoy, sitting second from the left.

Wuning Army Jiedushi Shipu governed Haozhou, Sizhou, Xuzhou, and Suzhou, and made great achievements in destroying Huangchao. His representative, Yang Guangyu, sat down next to Luo Hongxin.

Yang Guangyu walked past Zhu Wen and stopped for a while, and let out a cold snort, embarrassing Zhu Wen.

Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin sent their adopted sons, Zhu Yongdao and Zhu Yongqian, to walk in front of Zhu Wen, greeted with a smile, and said, "Uncle, my father said, when will Yan and Hui be taken?"

Lao Zhu's face suddenly became stiff, the imperial court had just issued a decree to prohibit the towns from attacking, and now that the two mentioned this matter, they clearly intended to make fun of him!

Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Zhu Wen said with a smile: "The two nephews were joking."

The two sneered, their faces turned cold, and they shouted in front of all the towns in the world: "In the past, you were like a local dog, and you were intimidated by Cai's bandit soldiers. It wasn't my father who led the troops to save you. Why are the dogs and bandits today? How is my father different from jackals when we become brothers and go on the offensive?"

Zhu Wen's face turned red and he couldn't answer. Kou Yanqing behind him was about to draw his sword, but Zhu Wen stopped him.

Although Lao Zhu was embarrassed, he was very clear-headed. It would be useless to kill the two at this time, and it would also arouse Zhu Zhen's disgust.

.

Yang Guangyu, the representative of Shi Pu, Wuning Army Jiedushi, how could he miss this opportunity, and immediately made up his sword and said: "In the past when we attacked Huangchao, my Wuning Army also provided grain, grass and military equipment to Zhu Jieshuai. Said, to attack Xuzhou, this kind of person has no loyalty at all..."

Luo Hongxin, the envoy of Weibo Jiedu who is next to Yang Guangyu, is a little unsure. Would he dare to cooperate with this kind of person...

.

Jiedushi representatives from other towns also watched the joke.

Huang Qizhang, representative of Hedong Jiedushi, laughed and said, "A bunch of idiots!"

Huang Qizhang clearly scolded Zhu Yongdao and others, but in fact he stabbed Zhu Wen in the heart with a knife.

The fact that Zhu Wen burned Li Keyong at Shangyuan Station is known all over the world. You must know that if Li Keyong hadn't been there at that time, Zhu Wen might have been wiped out by Huang Chao. The catcher came to Zhu Wen, whether it was an idiot or something.

No matter how thick-skinned Lao Zhu is, he can't hold back his face now. He looked sullenly at Liu Han, the counselor, and blamed this person for his lack of consideration. Let him sit here and be criticized.

Just when Zhu Wen was about to leave the table first to avoid the sharp edge, he suddenly heard the guard at the door reporting the arrival of an angel.

Zhu Wen bowed his hands to Du Rangneng and said: "Du Gong wait a moment, Zhu will go to change clothes first to receive the order..."

"No need to change clothes!"

The angel directly entered the main hall, cupped his hands with Du Rangneng, all the festivals signaled, and everyone returned their salutes one after another.

The national power of the Tang court has become stronger, and even the majesty of the angels has become much stronger.

"Since the towns are all here, let's also be a witness!"

Zhao Xi came in front of Zhu Wen and said, "Zhu Jieshuai, His Majesty sent our family to ask you a few words, just tell the truth..."

The angel waited for the emperor to ask questions, and Zhu Wen was busy saluting and waiting to be played.

"Your Majesty asks if you will send troops to attack Yingzhou."

Zhu Wendao: "Yingzhou is a prefecture and county under my Xuanwu jurisdiction. The minister has the responsibility of guarding the land. What is within the authority?"

Zhao Xi said angrily: "Yingzhou has been trapped by Cai thieves for several years. Why don't you think about recovering? After the imperial court has spent money, food and troops to restore Yingzhou, you should send people to discuss the handover with the imperial court. You sent troops to kill thousands of our soldiers and civilians. What is this? reason."

Zhu Wen was taken aback, he didn't know, could it be that Wang Tan led his troops to attack Yingzhou and killed the court soldiers?
"Is this Wang Tan a pig? Why are you fighting with the court at this time? Isn't it trapping me in injustice!"

Zhu Wen was secretly annoyed, and said: "It must be that the subordinates do not obey the commander's order, and the minister will definitely punish them severely, give the court an explanation, and ask the angel to move to the inner hall to give lectures!"

Lao Zhu's face was slapped again and again today, and it was a little painful. It's better not to let outsiders know about the scandal.

But Zhao Xi didn't give him this face, waved his hands and said: "Your Majesty also asked you, I have ordered the world to keep all towns in their own towns, why haven't Caozhou and Puzhou be returned to Tianping Army Jiedu envoy Zhu Jie until now?" Handsome, are you going to resist the order?"

Zhu Wen's complexion changed suddenly, and he broke out in a cold sweat. Zhu Yongdao who was on the side was secretly happy. The envoys usually don't pay attention to the court, but they are bullied, and they can count on the court to make decisions for them.

At this time, in the eyes of the Tianxia Fanzhen, the dog thief Zhu Wen dared to break the rules and occupied Caozhou and Puzhou, so he was not afraid of the Tianxia Fanzhen's siege?

"Chen... The minister will naturally return..."

Zhu Wen let go, his face was trampled under his feet today.

"There are also Zhengzhou and Huazhou. The imperial court has newly established Yicheng Army. When will you return it?"

Zhu Wen was a little dizzy. The imperial court was pressing every step of the way. He went to the land of four states all at once. How could Xuanwu support one hundred thousand troops.

But say no now, okay?
Facing the imperial court alone, he can still drag it, but in front of all the towns in the world, would he dare?

It is the will of the imperial court and the rule of the world to keep each town.

Which feudal town is willing to have an irresistible powerful feudal clan around it? It would be great for everyone to keep their own towns.

Now that the imperial court has recognized the right of succession, everyone will be the emperor of one side in the future. What do you want to do with so much land occupied by Zhu Wen?
A series of gazes, like sharp swords, shot at Zhu Wen.
