Chapter 027 If I have no power or power, why should I be with you?
After hearing what Li Tianqu said, Wang Yanzhang laughed: "I thought Lizhai was mainly talking about what, then Zhu Quanzhong first surrendered to Huang Chao to fight against the court, but so what? At that time, the thieves in Huang Chao were so difficult to stop. Wang Chongrong, Zhuge Shuang, Zhou Ji and others, and many powerful officials who originally had the salary of the court were scared by Huang Chao. Who had never turned against the thief?
Now that Huang Chao is no longer as powerful as he was back then, they have rebelled against Qi thieves and turned against the court again! Zhu Quanzhong turned against Huang Chao and surrendered to the court, and at least he was considered to be a throwaway person to the dark and light, but those high-ranking officials and nobles who were loyal to the country back then were not even more capricious? This is the world, what if it is done?"
When laughing, Wang Yanzhang paused slightly, and then said, "The reason why I made up my mind to surrender to Zhu Quanzhong was because I heard that he had gathered many heroes, and he had the courage to go to the camp to surrender Zhuge Shuang. When he was accomplice to the thief leader Huang Chao, he stabilized the situation and defeated Li Xiaochang, the governor of the Tang Ting, and Li Sigong, the governor of Xiazhou, to conquer the army and horses, and turned to the court. Wherever he went several battles, he was defeated. The thieves in Huang Chao were also seriously injured...
Now Zhu Quanzhong has been granted the title of the governor of Xuanwu Army, and he made great contributions when he forced the rebel Huang Chao out of Chang'an. If we want to make a name for ourselves in this world, we naturally have to go to the hero. But I see that Zhu Quanzhong's courage and courage are just right, so of course we have to go to him."
Li Tianqu nodded: "So that's the case. I am like the Yanzhang brothers. I plan to join the government army and make achievements as soon as possible... But now Huang Chao's anti-army vanguard has already reached the boundary of Chenzhou. Governor Zhao Quan summoned the tyrants to capture the thieves, but it's not even the time to use people?"
Wang Yanzhang shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Then Zhao Yuan is just the governor of a state and the leader of the village. I will say something rebellious: Although I am determined to join the army, protect the country and the people, and rely on the fight against the rebels to seek a future... But the court is still stupid and despicable, and the civil and military in the court are full of evil. Everyone knows that the emperor is taken into control by the power eunuch. Since Zhao Yuan still has to be controlled by the court, if he votes for him, even if he sacrifices his life to win some merits, he will still be merciless in the end at the mercy of the prefect?
But since Zhu Quanzhong has been appointed as the governor of the Jiedushi, although the court has cut power after the Anshi Rebellion, he has now been given the Huang Chao disaster and has no choice but to let the vassal states be respectful. The governors of all walks of life are self-righteous and have the power of local wealth, military and civil affairs. We are warriors who are disdainful of going to power for fame and fortune. They go to the powerful lord who is in charge of a vassal state, and they only work hard to fight. There is no need to look at the eyes of all the abusive officials at all levels. Only in this way can they be free and happy!"
Having said that, Li Tianqu could fully understand why Wang Yanzhang was loyal to Zhu Wen according to his original trajectory.
After the Huang Chao Rebellion, the separatist rule of the vassal states in the late Tang Dynasty was very similar to the situation where the heroes competed for hegemony after the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the late Han Dynasty. The towering and prosperous Tang Dynasty was already an old Huangsheng. Now, many civil officials and military generals who intend to make a name for themselves do not take the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty seriously. According to their thoughts, they will only be loyal to the monarch they agree with.
Even if Zhu Wen did many bastards and suffered losses in his personal morality, he not only planned to usurp the throne, but also executed the deposed emperor of the Tang Dynasty unscrupulously, but he was also a master who was scolded by the world in later generations. However, at least he did have the ability to wipe out all the heroes and establish a regime that occupied the Central Plains and ruled relatively broadly compared to the separatist period of the feudal states.
Therefore, even if Zhu Wen is a cruel, lustful and cunning evil person, a generation of heroes may not be a good person. As long as Wang Yanzhang believes that Zhu Wen can make his mark among the heroes and then have the ability to end troubled times, he will devote himself to his loyalty and death.
"I understand the thoughts of Brother Yanzhang, but the ancients said: It is better to be the mouth of a chicken than to be the queen of a cow..."
After Li Tianqu finished reading a long time, he immediately said to Wang Yanzhang: "Although Zhao Hun of Chenzhou is still just the governor, he is not as powerful as Zhu Quanzhong. However, Zhu Quanzhong's old subordinates have many direct powers, and the Yanzhang brothers have been new to follow. If they don't work for a long time, they will probably be very uncomfortable to promote and use. Now Qi thieves are trying to take Chenzhou, which is the important time for the fire to refine real gold. If they want to make contributions and make a name for themselves, they are just around the corner.
If my brothers Yanzhang and I worked together to make great achievements in the army of thieves... I don't have to live in a prefecture for a long time and be controlled by the court. I wouldn't there be a hope of establishing a court in the future? I once heard that Zhu Quanzhong was just a wanderer in Xiaoxian Township in his early years, but he had the opportunity to first follow Huang Chao and then surrender to the court to achieve such achievements today. I may not be able to achieve the achievements he can achieve in the future..."
As he said this, Li Tianqu raised his eyebrows and laughed, "I just said why did the Li Village Master insist on urging me to switch to Chenzhou? It turned out that he was trying to convince someone to join the gang? Haha... Thank you for your care, and you and I both hope to use your skills to determine the chaos and gain fame. It can be said that they are like-minded. But everyone has their own ambitions. The Li Village Master wants to go to Chenzhou, but someone has other plans.
After all, Zhu Quanzhong and Zhu Jieshuai have been granted the title of the governor of Xuanwu Army. Their past achievements and achievements are widely known to the world. I would like to say bluntly that although the leader of the village has great ambitions, how can he know that he will be able to establish his own family in the future? He will leave his reputation when he dies, and he will become famous on the battlefield when he dies. Jianye has made his life a lifelong wish and enjoys the food in the temple. He is also a joke. Therefore, don’t blame him for disobeying the village master’s good intentions."
According to the "New History of the Five Dynasties: Biography of Wang Yanzhang": Yanzhang's martial artists did not know how to write, and often said to people in slang: "A leopard will leave skins when he dies, and a person will leave his name when he dies... It seems that this guy is really good at putting this sentence on his lips, and it can also be said to be the source of this idiom.
Wang Yanzhang's reaction was also expected. Li Tianqu did not expect that Wang Yanzhang's body would be shaken with a few words, and he would immediately return home... Zhu Wen had already made a name for himself. Now he wanted troops and land. There were only a hundred thieves under your command. He would flee to Chenzhou and Zhao Hun to live under someone else's roof...
He said that he would be able to become a military governor like Zhu Wen in the future. He would dominate a corner with a strong soldier. Even if he said that, he would be the leader of a small green forest village. He would open a blank check and let me work hard for you? He was very angry. Why are you so crazy? Why didn’t he say that he would definitely be the emperor in the future?
Since he was first treated by Li Tianqu with good wine and meat, Wang Yanzhang laughed in his heart and was unwilling to say too much. He then coughed twice and said, "I have to talk to the Li village leader, and I hope the village leader can achieve something, but... Chenzhou seems to be exhausted in my opinion. Meng Kai, who led more than 10,000 troops to attack, is a powerful general in the thief. How can he defend it when Huang Chao's army comes? The village leader insists on going to surrender, but isn't he going to throw it into the fire pit?
Even if the Tang army comes to help in time, it may not be able to stop the attack of Huang Chao thieves in time. Since we have a chance to meet, I do not want to see Li’s village leader bring disaster upon themselves. The village leader advises me to go with you to join Chenzhou, but I sincerely want to persuade Li’s village leader to go to Zhu Jieshuai with me. After all, Zhu Jieshuai has strong soldiers and horses, and he echoes several Tang troops such as Zhou Ji and Shi Pu. It is more than enough to protect himself. It is not more appropriate than the village leader who is trapped in a dangerous place? If you want to fight for war, you don’t have to hurry up."
Wang Yanzhang was also kind-hearted and did not want to see Li Tianqu seeking death. However, Li Tianqu laughed and showed off his heroic style to guide the country: "Although there are thousands of people, I have gone, and now all the Tang troops in the road have their own thoughts, and no one wants to make a first bird to face the Huang Chao army's army first. According to my thoughts, there may not be any rescuers rushing to Chenzhou within a few months...
