Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 228
Da'anji was originally a village house. In the past few years, Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan took turns to ravage Da'anji. Like many villages, Da'anji quickly declined, and now there are only remnants of walls and traces of ashes, and there are no human habitation. .

Relying on these earthen walls and dilapidated houses, Zhang Cunjing led his troops to repel the Zhongwu Army and Youbalin Army several times.

Zhu Zhen came to the front of the formation, and her personal guards guarded the left and right with huge shields.

"Cunjing, the old man is visiting, why don't you come out and talk about it?"

A man in the Bian army said, "It's General Zhu Zhen!"

"Exactly so!"

Zhang Cunjing walked out of the army formation, surrounded by personal guards with shields.

"Is General Zhu here to persuade me to surrender?"

Zhu Zhen raised her eyebrows, showed off her armor, and said, "Are you thinking I'm idle?"

Zhang Cunjing smiled wryly: "Then there's no need, I'm greatly gracious by Jie Shuai..."

Zhang Cunjing was interrupted by Zhu Zhen before he finished speaking, and said: "You are a bandit, do you want to talk about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness with me? We come from humble backgrounds, and we have come this far because we want to survive in this troubled world !"

Zhang Cunjing had nothing to say, so he heard Zhu Zhen continue to say: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and I have given you a way out. You can die if you want, but I wish you could die. I have been following your concubine Wan'er for a long time." ..."

"Zhu Zhen, you bastard, I'll kill you!"

Honest Man was also irritated by Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Zhen didn't take it seriously, and said: "The imperial army is about to attack Bianliang, when the time comes, I beg Your Majesty to reward me with Wan'er, I play every morning, noon, and continue to play at night..."

Zhang Cunjing's face turned red, and he said, "You dog, you're bullying too much!"

Zhu Zhen said with a look of regret: "I thought you were a robe, so I reluctantly accepted your concubine. You use your pig's brain to think about it. At least I am playing alone, and it won't kill her. If someone else, I'm afraid Have fun with all the soldiers..."

Zhang Cunjing was out of breath, unable to speak, what the hell Zhu Zhen said was really rough and unreasonable, if he died and Wan'er fell into Zhu Zhen's hands, it would really be a good home, but listen to what he said Why are you so awkward.

Zhu Zhen smiled and said, "I figured it out! Do you want to entrust my sister-in-law and eldest niece to my brother?"

"Fuck your mother, Zhu Zhen, you're not a son of man, you're trying to trick my wife and daughter, I'm going to kill you!"

Zhang Cunjing swung his knife and was going to look at Zhu Zhen, but was held back by the guards.

Zhu Zhen smiled and said: "I just joked, I see you are anxious, I also watched my eldest niece grow up, how can I think she is so sad, yes or no, it depends on how you choose, you just die alone , and thousands of soldiers were involved, isn't it your fault?"

Zhang Cunjing looked to the left and right, and the guards on both sides avoided their eyes.

Zhang Cunjing heaved a long sigh, why couldn't he see that the soldiers didn't have the will to die, and it was all because of his existence that they could persevere until now.

"My family is all in Bianliang. If I surrender to the imperial court, I'm afraid they will suffer disaster immediately. If I die, maybe they can survive..."

Holding a mask, Zhu Zhen said, "You haven't studied, you don't know how to read, why are you as pedantic as that scholar?"

"Your Majesty said that the imperial military newspaper will announce to the world that you, Zhang Cunjing, died in battle, and you will not recover the news until you see your family members after you capture Bianliang. Put on this mask quickly, and come face to face with me! "

Lao Zhu was quick to persuade him to surrender, but Zhang Cunjing was helpless, so he hurriedly put on his mask.

Lao Zhang felt bitter. When he thought of his family members submitting to Zhu Zhen, he felt very disgusted. The key point was that even so, it was unreasonable for him to thank Zhu Zhen for her great kindness.

Zhang Cunjing didn't want to die anymore, he let out a sigh of relief, what the hell he wanted to play with Zhu Zhen's concubine.

Putting on the mask, Zhang Cunjing gave Zhu Zhen a hard look. Since then, all the Da'an and Bian troops surrendered, and His Majesty the Emperor rewarded the three armies with great joy.

Order more than [-] remnants of You Yulin Army and more than [-] remnants of Zhongwu Army to guard Chenzhou.

Order Wuning Army Jiedu Shi Pu, Taining Army Jiedu Zhu Xuan, Tianping Army Jiedu Zhu Jin, Pinglu Army Jiedu Wang Shifan, Wei Bo Army Jiedu Luo Hongxin, Hedong Army Jiedu Li Ke Use, the Yiwu Army Jiedu envoy Wang Chucun, quickly join forces with our army in Bianliang.

In addition, His Majesty the Emperor has also made some preparations for the defense of Caizhou.

Order Shannan East Road Jiedu envoy Zhao Kuangning to lead a town of [-] soldiers to Tangzhou near Caizhou, and order Guizhou Defense Shu Chengrui in Jingnan to lead his troops to move to Suizhou near Guangzhou together with Zuo Shenwei army in Anfujiang .

His Majesty personally led the Zuo Wuwei Army of more than 1000 men, the Zuo Shence Army of more than 2000 men, Fu Cunshen's Zuo Yongwu Army of more than [-] men, the Sixth Cavalry Army of more than [-] men, Li Cunxiao's [-] cavalry men, Wang Rulin Department of cavalry [-] people.The emperor's personal guard cavalry has more than [-] people.

A total of 3000 infantry, 3000 cavalry, and a total of 6000 horse infantry.

There are also more than [-] auxiliary soldiers, military slaves, and civilians accompanying the army, more than [-] soldiers from Zhang Cunjing's Bian army, more than [-] grain carts, and more than [-] stones of grain and grass.

Li Ye inspected the troops outside Zhenyuan County, and said: "The people of Bianzhou are also the people of our Tang Dynasty. Before going out, I made three chapters with the soldiers.

For this one, food is the most important thing for the people. At this time, when the seedlings are earing, I will make an appointment with all the soldiers. My army and horses of the Tang Dynasty will not trample on a single seedling or a field in Bianzhou. Anyone who violates this agreement will be subject to military law. If you commit this, you will also be guilty from now on! "

All the generals shouted: "No!"

With Li Ye's words, the soldiers of the Bian army returned to their hearts, and most of their family members had land in Bianzhou.

"These two, I have always talked about it. Anyone who robs the people is engaged in military law. I have made an appointment with all the soldiers. I would rather starve to death than eat the food of plunder, including myself!"

"promise!"

Zhang Cunjing looked at Zhu Zhen, and Zhu Zhen also looked at Zhang Cunjing.

"If the former people had such a benevolent monarch in the Tang Dynasty, how could they embark on the road of rebellion?"

"It's not too late now!"

Bianzhou's surrender was completely convinced, and some people couldn't help kneeling on the ground. The emperor tolerated the hearts of all people, but Zhao Riyue, if they really did this, how lucky they were to surrender!

"Thirdly, rape and looting are not allowed, murder is not allowed without reason, and houses are not allowed to be destroyed. I also need my consent to recruit civilian husbands, and not to abuse the power of the people without permission, is that okay?"

"We all respect His Majesty's orders!"

Li Ye nodded, galloped in front of the battle with his sword in hand, and shouted: "Wan Sheng!"

"Great Tang Wansheng!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

All the soldiers agreed.

"The army moves out!"

"promise!"

Fu Cunshen led the headquarter of the Zuoyongwu Army and led five thousand auxiliary soldiers to Bianshui to build a pontoon bridge. Li Ye led the rear army to follow up.
