Zhonghe (884 AD), Zhu Wen and Yang Fuguang, the military and horse superintendent of the world, attacked Chang'an City, expelled the Emperor Huang Chao of the Qi Dynasty, and successfully recovered the lost capital. Yang Fuguang reported the victory to Tang Xizong in Chengdu, and all the towns that participated in King Qin were rewarded by the court. Among them, Zhu Wen was dubbed the Xuanwu Army Jiedu Envoy. In June of that year, hundreds of subordinates of the Zhu Wen zone went to Bianzhou to take up their posts. Afterwards, Zhu Wen and Li Keyong forged an enmity at Shangyuanyi. At this time, the Xuanwu Army had Yicheng Army Jiedu Shiru in the north, Lu Yanhong of the Zhongwu Army Jiedu in the south, and the Probation Army in the east. Jiedu envoy Shipu, Taining army Jiedu envoy Zhu Jin and Tianping army Jiedu envoy Zhu Xuan in the northeast. After Huang Chao's defeat, Qin Zongquan of Caizhou conquered all directions. As a rebel general of Huang Chao, how did Zhu Wen stand firm in the face of wolves?
One, south of Xuanwu Army. Although Huang Chao was driven out of Chang'an, the remaining power of Huang Chao was still very strong. Huang Chao recruited Qin Zongquan in Caizhou to surrender, and then led his troops to encircle Chenzhou. Chen Zhou rushed to the court. The imperial court ordered the soldiers of Bian, Xu and Xu to rescue them. Zhu Wen responded positively, and finally solved the siege of Chenzhou with the help of Hedong Li Keyong. After this battle, Zhu Wen not only won the recognition of the court, but also the trust of Chenzhou. After that, Chenzhou governor Zhao Yan served as Zhu Wen’s Lisheng Temple and tried his best to support Zhu Wen. Whenever Zhu Wen wanted to fight against him, Chen Zhou would use the power of the whole state to provide military supplies. With the help of Chenzhou, Zhu Wen not only has no worries in the south of Xuanwu, but also can deal with the contradiction between the north and Hedong with all his heart.
Zhao Yan
Two, north of Xuanwu Army. Decisively attack, annex Yicheng army in one fell swoop. In the second year of Guangqi, the Yicheng Army Jiedu fainted An Shiru, and the two officials made chaos by the two generals Xiahouyan and Du Biao. An Shiru fled to Bianzhou. Zhu Wen dispatched Xuanwu commander Zhu Zhen to raid Huazhou on a snowy night, annexing the Yicheng Army in one fell swoop, and then cousin Hu Zhen led Zheng Hua. In fact, Yicheng was also under Zhu Wen's control. The court was helpless and acquiesced to Zhu Wen's annexation. Zhu Wenzhi actually separated the two towns and his strength greatly increased. Since then, the Xuanwu army has been relatively calm to the west and north. Z1z
Zhu Wen annexed the Yicheng Army to the east in minutes. Although Zhu Wen and Shi Pu, the Probation Army Jiedu Envoy, sent troops to block Huang Chao, and the first level of Huang Chao was dedicated by the Probation Army. Therefore, Shi Pu often claims to be the first to hit Huang Chao. Zhu Wen always treats this powerful opponent in the east with care, so as not to stimulate Shipu. Shi Pu is also a relatively unambitious person. The Xuanwu Army did not have to bear much pressure on the east.
Probation Army Jiedushi Shipu
Fourth, northeast of Xuanwu Army. After Huangchao Wolf Tiger Valley was killed, Qin Zongquan of Caizhou was even worse than Huangchao. The imperial court ordered Zhu Wen and Shi Pu to send troops together. Zhu Wen was ordered to send troops. However, Caizhou’s forces were too strong, and Zhu Wen took the opportunity to form brothers Yan, Zhu Xuan, and Zhu Jin, and worshipped them. Finally, with their help, Qin Zongquan was successfully defeated. Not only is there no worries in the northeast, but also a large area of land in Huaixi and Shannan. In order to commend him for his achievements, the court appointed him to lead the Huainan Army Jiedu Envoy, and Zhu Wen also officially had the capital to fight for hegemony in Hedong.
Tianping Junjieshi Zhu Xuan
Wu, facing the aggressive momentum of Hedong, Zhu Wen used the various contradictions between the imperial court and the feudal towns to instigate the imperial court to conquer Hedong and divert Li Ke's attention. In the end, the court really fought against Hedong, and the political situation was turbulent again. The court and Hedong lost both, but Zhu Wen took the opportunity to expand his power and prepared to fight for hegemony head-on with Li Ke. After the fall of
in Huangchao, Hedong Li Ke became the world's most powerful local separatist force in one fell swoop. However, after a short period of five or six years, under Zhu Wen's series of operations, Zhu Wen not only gained a firm foothold in Bianzhou, but also had the strength to compete head-on with Hedong for hegemony, laying the foundation for future hegemony.
