Gao Pian has received Zhang Lin's secret letter. Gao Pian smiled proudly and said: "Haha, it turns out that Huang Chao is just like that. I thought he was really asking for life for the people. It turns out that it was just for his personal glory and wealth. Okay.

, Okay! I, Gao Pian, can just guarantee the performance for you, and save you from making trouble every day. When you take office, I will slowly deprive you of your military power, and then you can do whatever you are not allowed to do! Haha..."

Gao Pian's proud laughter spread far away from the study room, echoing in the night sky...

After the soldiers and horses from the northern vassal towns defeated Li Guochang and his son, they went to help encircle and suppress the Jiangling rebel general Liu Hanhong without stopping. Liu Hanhong could not resist, so he had to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and was appointed as the governor of Suzhou.

Just as armies from all walks of life were about to cross the Yangtze River south to deal with Huang Chao, Gao Pian's memorial was sent to Chang'an. Gao Pian said: "Huang Chao has been unsuccessful in repeated battles and has asked for surrender. The rogue bandit Huang Chao, who has been wandering around for many years, will soon be put down. In recent years, Huang Chao has been defeated.

The country is troubled, and the soldiers and horses from all walks of life have been fighting for many years. Most of them are exhausted and need to recuperate, so I won’t bother the soldiers and horses from all walks of life going south. I hope that the Holy One can sympathize with the painstaking efforts of the humble ministers and let the soldiers and horses from all walks of life return to their respective towns to recuperate and recuperate.

…”

When all the ministers in the court read Gao Pian's memorial, they all felt like Ming Jing. Gao Pian was afraid that all the soldiers and horses would compete with him for credit, and wanted to take the credit for putting down the Huangchao Rebellion all to himself. It was a matter of competing for credit.

He was able to speak so grandly that all the ministers in the court could not help but admire Gao Pian.

But everyone knows that no one really has a problem with Gao Pian. Now Gao Pian is the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is Emperor Li Xuan, Tian Lingzi who controls the government, or the prime ministers of Zhongshu Province,

They all relied heavily on Gao Pian. In addition, Gao Pian had a lot of troops and was in charge of Jiangnan's wealth. His power was as strong as ever. Who could offend him when they were full?

Ever since Zhang Lin received the letter from Huang Chao brought by Zhu Wen, Huang Chao had been content with the status quo and had not conquered any city or place. Zhang Lin was relieved. At this time, he was copying Zhang Xu's ""

"Tummy Pain Post", with a proud and excited look on his face. Being able to unexpectedly obtain this rare treasure was really beyond his expectation. What's more, for his great contribution in recruiting Huang Chao to surrender, the court must also have a very generous reward.

It is also unknown whether he may be assigned a position as a military governor.

Zhang Lin smiled very happily and felt very comfortable, right? He didn't have to use any soldiers to obtain the treasure, and he also achieved great success, killing two birds with one stone. It would be strange to be unhappy!

Will Huang Chao really surrender? Of course not.

At this time, Huang Chaozheng, monk Rang, Meng Kai, Zhu Wen and others were secretly discussing the next move.

Huang Chao smiled and said to Zhu Wen: "Lao San, I really have you! With only a scroll of calligraphy and painting, he dispersed all the soldiers and horses in Jiangbei and gave our army a chance to breathe. Lao San is truly a born genius."

Think tank! Haha..."

Zhu Wen bowed and said: "Thank you Master for the compliment. Zhang Lin, who has been confronting us recently, has also slacked off. His soldiers have also relaxed their vigilance towards us. This is a good opportunity for us to counterattack. Master

, please allow me, General Hu Zhen, Hu, General Ge Cong and Zhou Ge to attack Zhang Lin's camp tonight, trying to capture or kill Zhang Lin. As long as Zhang Lin is dead, there will be no danger to the people from all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River.

"

Huang Chao said: "Okay! But to ensure safety, I will send General Shang and Meng Xiandi to lead their respective headquarters to support Zhang Lin. We must make it difficult for Zhang Lin to fly!"

At the second watch of the night, Zhu Wen personally led the troops to Zhang Lin's camp quietly and ordered the sergeants to prepare rockets. Zhu Wen gave the order, and rows of rockets were fired into Zhang Lin's camp. Suddenly, the camp was full of people.

A fire broke out and the fire spread quickly.

When Hu Zhen and Ge Congzhou's troops saw the fire, they also released the rockets they had prepared. For a while, Zhang Lin's camp was filled with smoke, people screamed and horses neighed, and the camp was in chaos.

Zhang Lin, who was sleeping, heard the noise, hurriedly got up, put on his robe, picked up a spear and walked out of the tent to check the situation. As soon as Zhang Lin went out and saw the scene in the camp, he couldn't help but gasped. How could this happen? Patrolling the camp.

The sentries and the sentries outside the camp, what do the hidden sentries do? The enemies are at such a close distance, and no one reports it!

It turns out that there were hidden sentries outside the military camp at that time. Once the enemy's troops were discovered, an alarm signal would be sent to the camp immediately, and the military camp would have time to calmly deploy a strategy to defend against the enemy. However, there has been no movement in Huang Chao for the past month.

The people on the sentry post were also a little careless, and often drank and gambled together in small groups. Otherwise, Zhu Wen would not have been able to arrive at Zhang Lin's camp so smoothly without anyone noticing.

Zhang Lin got on his horse and shouted: "Don't mess around, don't run around. Generals at all levels should quickly restrain their troops and leave a small number of people to put out the fire. The others will assemble on the camp grounds..."

But the camp was in chaos, with people shouting, and there were no loudspeakers or microphones at that time. No matter how loud Zhang Lin's voice was, how many people could hear him? Zhang Lin saw that not many people heard his words,

So he rode his horse and gathered the troops in the camp.

Before he could gather many troops, the camp gate was blown open by Zhu Wen's large thunderbolt, and a flood of rebels led by Zhu Zhen and Xu Huaiyu entered Zhang Lin's camp. The people in the camp

Most of the officers and soldiers had not yet dressed, let alone mounted their horses, and could not organize effective resistance at all.

For a time, Zhu Zhen and Xu Huaiyu led their men and horses like tigers into a herd of sheep, rushing left and right in Zhang Lin's camp. Wherever they passed, no one among the officers and soldiers was spared.

Zhang Lin also saw Zhu Zhen and Xu Huaiyu at this time. Zhang Lin had met Xu Huaiyu once and knew that they were Zhu Wen's subordinates. She secretly hated Zhu Wen in her heart. Just as she was about to lead the people gathered to meet Zhu Zhen and Xu Huaiyu, she suddenly

Hearing the roar of killing behind him, it turned out that Hu Zhen and Ge Congzhou's troops were also coming in from the other side.

Suddenly, Zhang Lin's camp became a hell-like slaughterhouse, with screams coming and going. Zhang Lin had been fighting for many years. In this situation, he knew that the end was over. He turned around and said hello to the two people around him.

, shouted: "You two take your own troops and fight out with me!"

At this time, there were less than a thousand people around Zhang Lin, and most of them had not had time to mount their horses. Some of them were not even wearing armor. They were still shirtless with a simple sword in their hands. They only wore a pair of shorts on their lower bodies, exposing two pieces of hair.

Velvet thighs. How could such a temporarily organized group of people be able to break through Zhu Wen's carefully arranged team?

When Zhang Lin and others rushed to the camp gate and were still a hundred steps away, an enemy general in front shouted: "Ge Congzhou is here, Zhang Lin, kid, hurry up and tie up your hands!"

Ge Congzhou waved his long sword, and the army behind him swarmed forward. There were probably no more than three to five thousand people. They all shouted: "Capture Zhang Lin alive, capture Zhang Lin alive..."

Seeing that there was no way forward, Zhang Lin couldn't rush through with his 800 men. Besides, the thief general Ge in front of him was not an easy man to mess with. He quickly turned his horse's head and turned to the west.

But not far away, he saw a young general in front of him coming towards him with his gun drawn, followed by a dark crowd of people. Of course, that young general was Zhu Wen’s good brother Hu Zhen. Although Hu Zhen was not very old, he was also

He is regarded as a general under Huang Chao. Over the years, he has been fighting in the north and south, and he looks much more powerful than before.

Zhang Lin was deeply impressed by Hu Zhen. When Hu Zhen was in Xinzhou (today's Shangrao, Jiangxi Province), Zhang Lin and Liang Zuan attacked the city for several days with many times more troops than Hu Zhen, but they failed to capture it until

After the main force led by Gao Pian arrived, they captured Xinzhou. At that time, Xinzhou City was besieged on all sides, but the young general Hu Zhen in front of him was able to fight his way out and escape. This shows that Hu Zhen's intelligence and martial arts are all

The best choice.

Zhang Lin turned to the north again. At this time, there were only more than 300 men and horses around him who could follow him. These 300 men were all cavalry, and the other infantrymen had been chopped up melons and vegetables by Ge Congzhou and Hu Zhen's men.

Like completely wiped out.

The whole camp was like daylight under the light of the fire. Zhang Lin galloped on his horse. Hu Zhen and Ge Congzhou were chasing behind him. Zhu Zhen and Xu Huaiyu were further away. He thought there should be no people blocking the way in front of him. Although he

If you are defeated, it may be good to escape with your life.

Just when he thought of escaping with his life, he saw loud shouts in front of him, and Zhu Wen, riding a horse with a smile on his face, came slowly.

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, Zhang Lin stopped running and immediately glared at Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "General Zhang, Zhu has taken the liberty to come here. I hope the general will not take offense."

Zhang Lin shouted angrily: "Zhu Wen! You despicable villain, you actually broke your promise and got fat!"

Zhu Wen was not angry, and said in a neither arrogant nor humble manner: "As the saying goes, a soldier never tires of deceit. A general must always be on thin ice. General Zhang, I, Zhu Wen, admire your conduct. Nowadays, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is fatuous, the eunuchs are authoritarian, and the officials are corrupt.

, the people of the world are in dire straits. How about General Zhang working with me under King Huang’s tent?"

Zhang Lin said with a smile: "Haha... Although I, Zhang Lin, am not a good general, I still know the word loyalty and righteousness. A man who died in battle and was buried in horse leather can still be remembered in history. If I surrendered to you bandits, wouldn't I let future generations do it?"

Ridiculing and scolding?" At the end of the sentence, his voice was so stern that Zhu Wen had to secretly admire him.

At this time, two groups of troops from Hu Zhen and Ge Congzhou had also arrived. The three groups of troops surrounded Zhang Lin's 300 cavalry, and Zhang Lin's eyes showed a look of despair.

As the most powerful general under Gao Pian, Zhang Lin is not inferior to Zhu Wen in terms of intelligence and martial arts. This time he was defeated so miserably that it was really beyond his expectation. But now that the matter has come to this, what can he do? Although he knew he would die.

, but he still felt defeated and useless.

Zhang Lin let out a long sigh and said: "Zhu Wen, I, Zhang Lin, have fought on the battlefield throughout my life and killed countless people. I knew I would not die a good death, but I am unwilling to be buried here in such an unexplained way."
