Chapter 349 New and old grudges, this time it's my turn to take the initiative
Zhu Zhen was angry and killed his colleagues, which was considered a crime against the wind. His tricks were naturally too concealed by the cunning Zhu Wen. He pretended to agree and immediately sent troops to Huazhou. When Zhu Zhen immediately took him down and issued an edict of the Emperor of the Liang Dynasty. The other soldiers of the Ya generals did not dare to act rashly. Therefore, Zhu Zhen was easily captured and escorted to Bianzhou, and waited for Zhu Wen to fall.
In Kaifeng, Bianzhou, the Imperial City of Dique, in the main hall, a group of civil and military officials of the Liang Dynasty were on both sides, but Zhu Zhen was cut with his arms and knelt down in the middle of the main hall. When he raised his head in panic, he also saw Zhu Wen sitting on the dragon chaise at the head, far apart from each other, and he really couldn't see his expression clearly. When Zhu Zhen could also realize that Zhu Wen's gaze as he looked down, his shot was full of murderous aura...
And at this time, Zhu Zhen seemed to be more aware that the relationship between him and Zhu Wen was as if he was getting farther and farther away from each other in the hall. Compared to the intimate relationship when he joined Huang Chao to conquer the world, Zhu Zhen now became less and less aware of his lord, nor did he realize why Zhu Wen was becoming more and more suspicious of him step by step, until now.
"Brother... Your Majesty! I am really wronged! It has been so many years since Your Majesty first took charge of Xuanwu Army, and I have never been negligent in the management of the army and trained the army. I have made great contributions to the country for the sake of Daliang's birth and death. Now I have finally made the contribution of the Dragon and achieved the founding merits. Why do I want to rebel?"
"Hmph! Are you wronged? Let's not talk about the intention to rebel for now, but Li Tangbin was not killed by you. He killed his colleagues without any reason and dared to report false reports. Do you really think I am very deceiving!?"
When Zhu Wen shouted sternly, Zhu Zhen was shocked. He was stunned for only a moment, and then howled in tears:
"Then Li Tangbin...is indeed because I was angry for a moment, but the traitor had already intended to falsely accuse me of frame-up. I was unhappy. If I didn't kill him, I would be harmed by the thief sooner or later! Your Majesty! I am thinking of my hard work and contribution to the world for you. I hope that in the friendship of that year, if I give me kindness this time, I will still serve Daliang's loyalty to death!"
The friendship back then? You really thought that I would accommodate you since Huang Chao made great contributions. What kind of brotherhood? You have made contributions and worked hard. When the great achievements shocked the Lord, was it that I had given up the throne of the Liang Dynasty to you?
Zhu Zhen shouted loudly, but he didn't know that every time he said something more, Zhu Wen's murderous intent was a little more. Only from the beginning, when Zhu Wen saw this confidant who was his right-hand man, his hesitant expression disappeared a little in his eyes. Soon, the expression on his face had long been replaced by the murderous intent.
Even though I was suspicious and suspicious of you, I had two intentions... But since you know that I had a murderous intention, will you still be loyal and do your best as always? You can do the killing of Li Tangbin, but one day, how can you know if you will harm me?
Thinking of this, Zhu Wen then ordered:
"I think you are a meritorious minister, so I will keep your entire body, pull it out and hang it!"
After hearing this, eight soldiers rushed out and rushed towards Zhu Zhen. Sheng pulled him out of the hall. A shrill cry of sadness suddenly ran through the hall. Most of the Liang generals were close to Zhu Zhen, and they were about to stand up to ask for advice for him.
But at this moment, Zhu Wen suddenly spoke again, and his tone was full of murderous intent:
"When Zhu Zhen killed Li Tangbin, did you not want to save him? Or did Zhu Zhen take over the military power of Xuanwu Army for a long time, which would make you more respectful... Why? Now that I want to save him, will I ignore my will?"
As soon as Zhu Wen said this, most of the Liang generals who tried to plead for Zhu Zhen showed panic and shut up, and how could they say more? In the civil servant train, Jing Xiang, who is a member of the Chongzhengyuan, is a member of the Guanglu official, a Minister of War, and a Grand Secretary of the Jinlu Palace, frowned and hesitated. When he was about to persuade him, he saw that Zhu Wen's gaze had also fallen on him:
"Dear, I know what you want to say, so you don't have to speak."
When Jingxiang and Zhu Wen looked at each other, their hearts were stuttering. It was because they were trusted that Jingxiang was also good at interpreting the expression on Zhu Wen's face. The moment they were in contact with each other's eyes, he suddenly felt a powerful pressure in his heart. So Jingxiang was also very clear that his lord had made up his mind and decided not to change. It was useless to persuade him again, so he had to sigh and bow his head and retreat...

Zhu Zhen was finally strangled by Zhu Wen's order. Until he was strangled to death, he still couldn't figure out that he met his lord in his early years, made countless contributions, and laid the foundation for the Liang Dynasty and usurped the Tang Dynasty and established the country. He also made great contributions... and he was loyal and never thought of betraying Zhu Wen, but how could he end up being hanged by his lord?
Zhu Zhen first killed Li Tangbin and was executed by Zhu Wen. This was more like a ridiculous farce. The 40,000 Liang troops in Rong Weiyi's army were mostly Zhu Zhen and Li Tangbin's direct troops. The two generals all died, but they still killed each other. This not only caused panic among the Liang army in Huazhou, but also spread internal hatred and hostility, which caused dozens of casualties in several conflicts.
Zhu Wen then sent General Li Xi to command another 5,000 troops and horses to Huazhou to inspect and maintain military discipline, stabilize the morale of the troops of the city guarding the city, and also issued a death order:
If the enemy troops under Li Tianqu’s troops in the east are attacking, there is no need to worry about it. If the army attacks, there is no need to fight, even if they defend the city walls. Now Baima City has been built with strong city defenses and has also stored a large amount of food and fodder, which is enough to fight against the enemy.
Li Tianqu took advantage of the civil strife of our army, and it was very likely that he would launch a large number of troops to recover the lost territory. In addition to the Hebei side, he cooperated with Wei Bo, Zhaoyi, Chengde, and Yiwu... The towns tried to advance the tribes of Hedong of Jin, and the Xuanwu army took advantage of Li Tianqu to assemble the army and convened the main army to fight to the death with him.
I don't let you take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the enemy. Even though you are under the dangerous position of defending the city, you have to hold on until the army arrives and take the opportunity to cut off the enemy's retreat. You can always do this, right?
Of course, Li Xi had to respectfully accept the order and immediately led his troops to temporarily take over the matter of the Rongwei of Huazhou, Yicheng Army. The Liang army lost Zhu Zhen and Li Tangbin, a combination of outstanding combat capabilities, also spread to Xiaqiu, Yanzhou. After Li Tianqu heard the news, he knew very well that the best time to launch a large-scale launch towards Zhu Wen was already here.
"On the side of King Jin in Hedong, on the border of the Zhaoyi army's vassal states, they are now in a stalemate with the Liang army's troops sent to Heshuo and several vassals, and can also restrain several enemy troops; and the King of Wu also communicates with Gu, and advances together through Suzhou to attack the Fengguo army and the land in northern Henan..."
During this period, Li Tianqu and his forces were also preparing various pre-war preparations. In the dentistry, a group of generals gathered together to launch a military discussion, in order to agree on a large-scale counterattack.
All the generals present were full of fighting spirit and were ready to beat their hands. They looked at their lords together and saw Li Tianqu standing in front of the head coach's chair in the hall, looking around, and showing his majesty as he looked at him, and then said loudly:
"Zhu Wen was suspicious and suspicious, and he forgot to lose two more generals. Now the Liang army in the two prefectures guarded Yicheng Army and Zheng, and the Liang army in the two prefectures was unstable. It was time to recover our old place and cut off the land and water passes from Baimajin to Heshuo.
And the Liang army must have been prepared for a long time. If we command the army to fight in person, Zhu Wen should also assemble a large army and lead the army to fight in person. This time there is no need to wait and see the opponent again. This battle will eventually be fought. Zhu Wen's guy was rampant in his previous battle and repeatedly stormed our army's territory... This time it was our army's turn to take the initiative, and the new and old accounts must also be clear with Zhu Wen!"
