The impact of "The Memorial to Nephew" and Yan She was just a small episode on Zhou Huaian's journey back, and another small episode was that he suddenly called Cao Ling, a special prisoner, and passed a report from the court to the other party.

"Father, brother..."

Then Cao Ling's expression suddenly changed and she cried loudly. Because the news that the soldiers of the Tianping Army led by Cao Quanzhi jumped on the paper.

In this last moment, his brother Cao Xiang failed to break through the siege and was held in front of the formation. When he humiliated and forced him to persuade the Tianping Army to surrender, he started to scold the thief for his death. So Cao Quanyue shot and then went out to battle and died on the spot.

"Your father and brother have fulfilled their loyalty to the country until the last moment, so I feel it is necessary to let you know;

Then, Zhou Huaian slowly spoke

"Although our rebel army is a blood-debt accomplice of the court and a butcher who is not worth dying, even if we meet on the battlefield, we will definitely be killed and soon; but we will temporarily leave our stance of irreconcilable positions without saying that we are not allowed to do anything. In the face of the country, the spirit and determination of going to the difficulties is worthy of being respected by the world."

Cao Xiang, who was crying for a moment, felt a little ridiculous and misplaced after hearing this. His father and commander fought for the country for a lifetime. His final praise and praise that he could be regarded as a perfect match were actually the leader of the thief army he had wiped out for the rest of his life.

"So, now you can leave... Such a loyal family shouldn't have been cut off without anyone coming to worship."

Zhou Huaian was also very proud of his words.

"What.."

Cao Ling's expression suddenly turned into incredible shock and loss.

"I'm going to let you go back to the Balance Army... In this way, no matter what, you can at least do something behind your father and brother..."

"But I don't know what to get from my Cao family, and I don't know what to do."

At this moment, Cao Xiang responded with his head raised as if he had changed to another person.

"Of course there are no additional conditions or costs, as long as you still remember what you see here, and treat and protect local people well..."

"After all, the world is in chaos, and the common people are already suffering enough... If you get the opportunity to protect one part, it is one part, and it is one part..."

"And if you continue to stay here, you are just an irrelevant spectator and prisoner. Only by trying to return to the Tianping Army can you be the useful Cao Xiang, a child of the Cao family...."

"Of course, if you continue to be with those who are disgraced and keep on with the light, even if you are poor, you will have those who are clear and correct punishment in the future and face the hearing."

After hearing these words, Cao Ling felt a little touched and empathized, but it was also a bit ridiculous. Once the dragon returns to the sea and the tiger leaps to the south mountain, does this person still want to restrain and deter him by relying on a few verbal promises and threats?

Especially once he returned to the old place of the Balance Jiedushi, perhaps even the court might not be able to do anything about his own family; let alone a thief leader far away in Jinghu. Could it be that he sent dead soldiers to perform the assassin method?

However, after thinking more carefully, he felt that he could not laugh out loud; because this demon monk who was praised and respected by the world and feared was never a person who was intimidated, but a style that always spoke of things and deeds. All the foresight and outstanding aspects of it were still enough to make people afraid.

Cao Xiang immediately recalled that this man had foresaw the ending of his father and commander who insisted on loyalty to the court in the current situation. And such a person with great ambitions, clear goals, and corresponding strength and foundation would not be sure to have a pattern and general trend of sweeping the world in the future.

Under this possibility, the other party's oath and determination cannot be taken lightly; even if he may not remember it for a while as time goes by, naturally, many people use this matter to make a big fuss and take advantage of the problem in order to favor the culprit.

At that time, I and the whole family of Cao may be the stepping stone that sets off the other party's wise and martial words and deeds, or the clown who jumped over the beam and suffered a joke in the historical books that made the final decision.

Since ancient times, few people and families who have been cared for by those entrepreneurs and founding masters have been able to end up with good deeds or have a good ending.

After all, he is no longer the other two Cao family yamen who is in his hands. Instead, Cao Xiaoqing, who is going to take on the important task of his family after his father and brother are both dead. Thinking of this, he lowered his figure and posture in his heart, bowed slightly and said thanking.

"Please take the lead and watch the funeral. It's just a long way to go back, and I hope to use my help."

Zhou Huaian was surprised and surprised. The man who suffered a huge change had adjusted his mentality so quickly and took the initiative to make demands on this situation. He was worthy of being the descendant of the general and the descendants of the vassal states. Then Zhou Huaian pressed a vague idea of ​​wanting to regret it and continued:

"The armor and clothing will be given to you on the road, and the people who follow you will also choose from the recent captures... I hope you can take care of yourself."

The corresponding consequences and costs of letting him go can be said to be slightly better than nothing, and it is just to wait for an opportunity to advance the Central Plains in the future. For the time being, I will just lay a free hand that is optional and does not matter whether it succeeds or fails.

However, Zhou Huaian did not deliberately make a falsification about the ending of Cao Quanzhi and Tianping Army; after all, this is the last group of officials in the world who are willing to bring their own food regardless of gains and losses, and to fight for the court through life and death.

After these remaining loyal ministers and generals who were concerned about the glory and authority of the Tang Dynasty were all lost in these cruel battles, or were corrupted by the imperial court and were eliminated one by one by one; what could be left was a wave of potential ambitions and candidates who were accused of being from inside and outside the system and traitors who were replaced.

It can be said that the people's hearts, energy and final efforts that could maintain the Tang Dynasty, all died inadvertently here; what was left was a huge rotten corpse called the Tang Dynasty, but was not yet prepared by all parties, and they continued to pretend that they could survive.

Next, with the curtain of the era that Huang Chao went north, it is time to come to the first stage of all kinds of characters.

But for Zhou Huaian, during this period when the world's attention will be attracted to the heartland of the northern Central Plains, the Taiping Army forces he represents will enter the consolidation and digestion stage of internal reorganization and sorting;

It is the most suitable for rest and recuperation in a quiet voice, and to gather strength in the future, it is an important window period for the Huang Chao uprising army, which has been directly or indirectly strengthened by himself, should be persisted longer than in history and have a greater impact.

...........

In Ruzhou, Henan, the wilderness that became bare due to drought and war was once again filled with the hustle and bustle of countless people. From time to time, there were also groups of defeated or surrendered prisoners of the government, and their bare hands were flowing through it in the opposite direction.

They were all recruited and recruited by Zikerang, the governor of the Taining Army in the east. Unfortunately, in the face of the general trend of the rebel army, which became increasingly more powerful and had enough food, it was also the result of defeat or surrendering according to the opportunity.

Even Zike Rang himself was surrounded and attacked by Fei Chuangu's pioneers, and broke the gateway to Ruzhou Prefecture City Linru, who was defending Dongdu, under a strong siege, and directly led the remnants of the defeated generals who faced the battle and retreated to the eastern capital Luoyang.

Therefore, the smooth road to the eastern capital Luoyang was already a complete openness to the tide of rebels rushing forward. Amid the brigade of brightly-clad horses, a total of sixteen black and white horses were dragged, and six people in front and back supported the wheels, which were like a super-large carriage that slowly moved the hall.

"The dog servant Liu Hanhong of Guangzhou has turned against him again. He is willing to go west and join the Ji army, just wanting to ask for the next commander position..."

Huang Rui, who was the secretary of the school, wore a banana silk robe, also said respectfully in front of Huang Chao, who was sitting upright.

"Isn't it just a name? If you want it, give it to him;"

Huang Chao, who was wearing yellow robe and golden armor, looked extraordinary and majestic, waved his hand and said unconsciously.

"Issue my edict and appoint him as the commander of the southern rebel army, and control all the troops in Huainan and Jiangdong. Let him go and guard the household dogs of the old thief and others, just by talking about the length of the house..."

"In addition, there is Qin Zongquan, the governor of Caizhou, who is willing to offer land to the General's Mansion..."

Huang Rui continued to read.

"This is not enough. If you want to keep his position unchanged, you have to show more sincerity; just let him lead his troops to the Conquest Mansion, otherwise, let him guarantee that Caizhou City will be burned together..."

Huang Chao shook his head without hesitation.

"Heyang Jiedushi Zhuge Shuang sent an envoy again..."

After recording Huang Chao's decision book on the spot and delivering it, Huang Rui continued to report:

"What did he say..."

When he heard the name of this old senior who was born in a thief but enjoyed the glory and wealth of the court, Huang Chao's face seemed a little subtle, like a memory and a ridicule.

"Zhuge Shuang claimed that he would like to lead the Heyang to respect the banner of King Huang, but his subordinates had some dissent and decisive opinions. He had to openly change his banner after the king entered the Eastern Capital."

"This cunning old ghost has reached this point, is it still a blessing to be lucky?"

Huang Chao couldn't help but burst into laughter.

When he thought of this figure who was once regarded as an idol and goal by most rebels, he now wanted to flatter the convening seat in order to protect it, which undoubtedly made people feel very happy. So he decided to say.

"Even if I reply to him, I will say that no matter whether the flag changes at this time, I will hand over the three passes of Heyang first... Don't think about the tricks of watching on the wall... I have to ask if I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers agree."

......

After most of the rebels crossed northward, Yangzhou City also convened a grand singing and dancing parade to celebrate.

On the surface, this was to celebrate the resurgence of the thief army. But in fact, it was also to the high minister who had always been ill. Because the thief in Huainan weakened his feelings, his health gradually improved and he could show up from time to time to start looking at the matter.
