But what made Lin Yan depressed was that the first people who found them were not the troops led by Shi Pu's Li Shiyue, but the Boye troops sent by Chengde Jiedushi Wang Rong. This group of people only had a thousand troops, and they were led by the Chengde Army.

The brave generals Jian Koudu regiment training envoy Ma Ke, these soldiers are civilian warriors recruited in the countryside, most of them are new soldiers. But now Chengde Town is not as good as in the past, the military strength is weak, and the Jiedushi Commander Wang Rong is young, although he is a hereditary county.

Wang and Jiedushi, but the surrounding vassal towns all looked covetously at Chengde Town.

In fact, as early as the Dezong period, the Chengde Army fought against the imperial court. Zhang Xiaozhong, the general of the Chengde Army, surrendered to the imperial court in Yizhou, Dingzhou, and Cangzhou. The imperial court was grateful for Zhang Xiaozhong's surrender and established a military envoy in the three states of Yi, Dingzhou, and Cangzhou, giving him the title of Yi.

Wu, later known as the Yiwu Army. Since then, Chengde Town, which was so powerful in northern Hebei, has become greatly weakened.

Later, another Jiedu envoy was established in Cangzhou, and the two states of Yi and Ding were still called Yiwujun. Zhang Xiaozhong was originally a descendant of the Xi tribe, his real name was Arao, and he and Wang Rong's ancestor Menuogan were both generals of the Chengde Army, and they were both known for their bravery.

Zhang Xiaozhong surrendered to the court, but Bu Nuogan remained in the Chengde Army as a cavalry commander after Chengde Town was pacified. With his bravery, he gained the trust of Chengde Jiedushi Wang Wujun, and was adopted by Wang Wujun as his adopted son, so he followed Wang Wujun

His surname was Wang. It was not until the death of Nuogan's great-grandson Wang Tingcuo that the Li Tang court eliminated the separatist forces of the descendants of Khitan Wang Wujun in Chengde Town. Wang Tingcuo took the opportunity to occupy Chengde Town.

The imperial court was about to send troops to conquer Weibo Town, and a mutiny broke out in Lulong Town at the same time. The three states of Zhenzhou, Weizhou, and Youzhou united to form the three states of Zhao, Wei, and Yan. The imperial court had no choice but to

Acknowledging the facts, he appointed Wang Tingcuo as the military governor of Chengde Town.

After that, Wang Tingcuo's descendants have been guarding Chengde Town. Wang Rong's father, Wang Jingchong, was named the King of Changshan because of his meritorious service in conquering Pang Xun. Originally, in such troubled times, Wang Jingchong wanted to do something big and expand his strength. Who could

Zhi unexpectedly died young and was given the posthumous title of "Zhongmu". The eldest son Wang Rong, who was only ten years old, inherited the throne of King Changshan and the position of Chengde Jiedushi. Now Wang Rong is only twelve years old, so everyone around him

All the feudal towns are eyeing Chengde Town.

Although Wang Rong was young, he also knew that if he could capture Huang Chao alive, it would be a great achievement, which would make his position in Chengde Town more stable. However, if he sent a large army, he was afraid that other vassal towns would send troops to attack, so he sent

He recruited a thousand regiments of Boye Army to train troops to pursue Huang Chao, who was at the end of his rope, hoping to get a bargain.

Not to mention, Ma Ke, the training commander of the Jian Koudu regiment, is also a talent. Suppressing bandits is his strength. He has a junior high school student named Song Wentong who is not very old, less than twenty years old, but he joined the army.

It has been two years. With his bravery and intelligence, he has gained Ma Ke's trust. Now he serves as a cavalry colonel, leading a hundred cavalrymen as an outpost and heading straight to Wolf Tiger Valley.

When Song Wentong arrived at the mouth of the valley, he did not rush forward. He knew that although Huang Chao only had a few hundred people, the remaining people were all elite soldiers, and it was definitely not something that his hundred or ten men could handle. So he hurriedly ordered someone to report to the regimental training envoy of the rear team.

Ma Ke himself guarded the entrance of the valley and ordered people to occupy the peaks on both sides of the valley to monitor what was going on in the valley.

At this time, Lin Yan, who was in the valley, also noticed that there were people arriving at the entrance of the valley. He saw a big banner with the word "Tang" in the distance, but he didn't know which vassal town the people were from.

Lin Yan ordered a captain of the Crane Control Army to negotiate with the Tang army and explain his intention to surrender. When Song Wentong heard this, he was very happy and hurriedly agreed. He also promised to speak to the court on Lin Yan's behalf, but he would never do so.

They will be treated badly.

Song Wentong himself was just a small captain, so he had no ability to make suggestions to the imperial court. Even their regimental training envoy Ma Ke did not directly submit a letter to the imperial court with all his strength. To say that Wang Rong had this ability was pretty much the same.

The team leader sent by Lin Yan had no idea who Song Wentong was. He only knew that the other party agreed very readily and saw that the flag of the Tang Dynasty was indeed flying, so he went back to report to Lin Yan.

At this time, Ma Ke arrived at the mouth of the valley with eight or nine hundred men and horses, and met with Song Wentong's outpost cavalry. Only then did Song Wentong's heart calm down. After listening to Song Wentong's report, Ma Ke was really worried about Song Wentong.

Wentong praised them a lot. For fear of falling into Lin Yan's trick, the thousand of them did not dare to enter the valley, so they sent someone to notify Lin Yan and let Lin Yan's men come out.

Lin Yan was a bachelor. He didn't even bring weapons, so he led five to six hundred injured soldiers out of Langhu Valley. When he saw that these people were not Shi Pu's army, he felt relieved. Because Shang Rang was in Shi Pu's army.

In the army, if Shi Pu surrenders, Shi Pu will definitely find out that Huang Chao's heads are fake, and the heads of Huang Chao's wife and children are not similar at all, and they can't hide it from Shang Rang, an old acquaintance. Therefore, it is just right to surrender to other feudal towns.

understood Lin Yan's thoughts.

Lin Yan even thought that with his own martial arts and abilities, as well as the five or six hundred masters under his command, even if he arrived in Tangying, he would definitely be able to get a high-ranking official with a good salary. If one day he had the chance, he could be like other generals.

It would also be good to launch a mutiny, occupy several states, and create a separate vassal town.

Ma Ke and Song Wentong got the heads of Huang Chao and others without a fight, and also recruited Huang Chao's general Lin Yan and five to six hundred elites. Of course they were very happy, especially Ma Ke, who was waiting to go back and be promoted and make a fortune.

But Song Wentong had an extra thought. He knew that it was not his own group who was chasing Huang Chao, but several groups had this idea. If people from other feudal towns knew the news, there was no guarantee that no one would come to snatch him.

, it’s hard to say whether I can keep this credit with my thousands of people.

So Song Wentong asked Ma Ke to keep quiet and secretly escort the people of "Huang Chao" back to Zhenzhou. What's scary is that as soon as they left the boundaries of Laiwu Prefecture, they were targeted by Li Shiyue's men at the border of Taizhou.

Li Shiyue followed Shi Pu's order and pursued Huang Chao. They fought several battles and lost nearly two thousand men, while Huang Chao only lost a few hundred men. This made Li Shiyue very unhappy. But he knew that Huang Chao was at the end of his rope.

He followed closely all the way, but when he arrived at Langhu Valley, he lost track of the enemy. This made him very puzzled.

But soon he inquired about the situation. According to local people, a group of people from the imperial court came here a few days ago, numbering about a thousand people.

So Li Shiyue and Shangrang quickly took aim at Boyejun's team training team. So he chased them all the way. Li Shiyue didn't want to give the credit to others after playing for so long.

But openly going up to snatch Huang Chao's head is not an option. After all, if word spreads, it will bring bad reputation to the Reform Army. It will also not sound good if it spreads to the ears of the court ministers, but if they are just allowed to send Huang Chao's head back to the town,

If you let Wang Rong, a kid like Wang Rong, get this huge credit, why won't that Pu guy peel off his skin when you go back?

Of course, Li Shiyue was not a fool. He would seize it secretly if it failed. He sent three thousand men to pretend to be bandits and prepared to make dumplings for this thousands-man team of the Boye Army late at night. In this way, he could justifiably kill Huang Chao.

Bringing him back to Xuzhou, this huge credit falls on himself.

But he said that Song Wentong found many unidentified people hanging around his team along the way. It was clear that someone had unscrupulous intentions and wanted to attack his team. Song Wentong was originally worried that someone would take this great credit, and now he became even more sure.

Someone was watching. He hurriedly and secretly alerted Ma Ke, asking the soldiers to be more alert, so that they could be prepared in case someone came to attack. After all, they also had people from the past, and they were not so easy to bully.

As expected, just as Song Wentong expected, that night, a group of men in black came to rob the camp, firing rockets and crossbows at random. Fortunately, Ma Ke listened to Song Wentong and was prepared, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.

In fact, the rockets fired by Li Shiyue's men were just symbolic. They were also afraid that if Huang Chao's head was burned, it would be difficult to deal with them when they returned, so they mainly attacked and fought. Although Ma Ke and Song Wentong had been prepared, they did not expect that.

More than 3,000 people came to rob the camp, more than three times more than their own troops. The two men led their troops to resist desperately, but in the end they fought and fled due to the disparity in strength.

The group of men in black claimed to be Huang Chao's old subordinates and came to greet the emperor's body. Song Wentong and the others chased after the group. Song Wentong knew that these people would not give up without Huang Chao's head, so he

He proposed to give them Huang Chao's head. Ma Ke had no choice but to think that his own life was more important, so he hurriedly threw away Huang Chao's head and led hundreds of remaining soldiers back to Zhenzhou with Song Wentong.

However, Lin Yan and a group of others were recruited by Shang Rang and became Shang Rang's subordinates. They followed Shang Rang all the way back to Xuzhou to report to Shi Pu.

At this time, Shi Pu, who was in Xuzhou, had already taken a fancy to Shang Rang's wife Liu Jinzhi. Why did he want Shang Rang to come back? He secretly sent someone to give Li Shiyue a secret order to get rid of Shang Rang on the road. After receiving the order, Li Shiyue sneered in his heart.

Although Shi Pu did not say anything about the newly attached Lin Yan, Li Shiyue made the decision himself and of course killed them all together.

Li Shiyue secretly muttered in his heart: Shang Rang, Shang Rang, don't blame me for being cruel. If you want to blame me, blame you for having a beautiful wife. You can't have a beautiful wife these days. Beauty is a disaster at all.

Li Shiyue had such a great achievement as Huang Chao's head. Of course, it was indispensable to reward the soldiers. Good wine and meat were very good. Of course, the wine of Shang Rang and others was spiked, and some people fell unconscious in a short while. Lin

Monk Yan had deep internal energy and was not unconscious for a while, but he also felt a little dizzy and his steps were a little shaky. He knew that Li Shiyue must have poisoned the wine, but it was too late to say anything now. The two of them were about to break out, and suddenly countless people

Random arrows were fired at them, and the two generals who had followed Huang Chao for so many years were instantly transformed into hedgehogs due to their poisoned hands and feet.

Poor Lin Yankong had astonishing martial arts but no chance to display it. A trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and then dimmed, because he was hit by no less than a hundred arrows, and his life came to an end, leaving behind
