With Hong Jian's secret assistance, Cangzhou was captured in less than a month, and Zhu Wen even captured the governor Zhao Rong alive.
Zhu Wen was overjoyed. The Xuanming Sect had just been established and brought him the situation in Cangzhou City. Many rebellious parties were secretly eliminated by them, and he took over the affairs of Cangzhou.
The founder of the Xuanming Sect, Hong Jian, calls himself Emperor Xuanming Fengdu, while the Xuanming Sect members are brats.
The Xuanming Sect he led was capable of stealth, assassination, and exploration. This allowed Zhu Wen to secretly add several percent more resources to Hongjian.
Zhu Wen now blocked the Tang army attacking north from the Jingxiang area and stabilized the situation in the southeast of the newly-established "Da Qi" regime.
In June of the same year, Zhu Wen returned to Chang'an, and Huang Chao went to Bashang to work in the army. Now Huang Chao had done something stupid again.
He re-appointed the eunuchs who had made the political situation of the Tang Dynasty a mess, and sent these "special people" who were good at conspiracy and snitching to serve as supervisors in various armies. After sending a large number of eunuchs to supervise the army, Huang Chao It is believed that he has a grasp of the dynamics of the entire army.
The various intelligences sent to him by the eunuchs in charge of the military are often mixed with a large amount of personal information. The praise or bad evaluation of the generals of each army is completely determined based on the general's obedience.
As a result, generals like Zhu Wen who fought on the front line were in a miserable state. Not only were their military operations hampered by the eunuchs, but they were also often suppressed and bullied by the eunuchs whom he originally looked down upon the most.
"I'm so angry! My dear brother, give me some ideas on how to kill those eunuchs!"
Zhu Wen paced back and forth in front of Hongjian, feeling very annoyed.
"There is no other way but to endure."
Seeing that Hongjian had no choice, he had no choice but to go to Huang Chao and tell his grievances. However, all these letters were lost in the sea, and there was no news at all, because the letters were all intercepted by the eunuchs.
In this year, Zhu Wen repeatedly made military exploits and was officially appointed as the vanguard of the southeast front camp, which was equivalent to the commander of the advance force of the southeast front army of the rebel army. He finally became a general in charge.
The Xuanming Sect's eyes and ears also brought him news that Song Wentong's army defeated Huang Chao's general Shang Rang and was promoted to the commander of the Shence Army with military merit.
This news gave Hong Jian some energy. The future famous Qi King Li Maozhen appeared, and he really wanted to meet him.
In the play, this is a ruthless man who abandoned Qi Kingdom and entered Raojiang for sixteen years. He may not have different intentions now, but in a few years, his ambition will come out.
After that, Zhu Wen was ordered to go west to resist the Tang army that threatened Chang'an one after another. Wherever he went, he won consecutive battles and victories.
In 882 AD, Huang Chao saw that this boy was a talented person, so he appointed him as the governor of Tongzhou.
Under the cover of night, Hongjian met Zhu Wen. At this moment, Zhu Wen's face was flushed. He had obviously just complained. When he saw Hongjian arriving, he quickly held his wrist and asked in confusion: "Brother Xian, what are you doing?" You said we didn't offend King Huang, why did he allocate Tongzhou to me, that place is still the territory of the Tang Army!"
Hongjian stood in front of the marching map, pointed at Tongzhou, and said unhurriedly: "Tongzhou is the Zhili Prefecture of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It protects the capital. This position is very important. If you can get this place, you will have They have a certain right to speak.”
"How could I not know what my dear brother said, but all my soldiers are treasures, and now the march is being monitored by eunuchs. If I can't let go, I may suffer heavy casualties!"
Zhu Wen showed great pain, and Hong Yan glanced at him, not wanting him to take action secretly, why did he beat around the bush like this?
Zhu Wen deserves to be able to found the country and become the emperor. His cunning is indeed unmatched. His meaning is very clear. After giving you so many resources, it is time to make further military exploits for him.
"I will take action to deal with some chaotic parties in the same state."
Hong Jian's ghostly face seemed to be smiling. Zhu Wen got a satisfactory result and his face became better. In this case, Tongzhou was in the palm of his hand.
He put his arm around Hong Yuan's shoulders and began to make plans for him again. After winning Tongzhou, the Xuanming Sect could absorb more talents.
The more famous Zhu Wen's name is, the more strange people he will join, and Hongjian will not need to work so hard.
Hongjian glanced at him and complained in his heart: "Sure enough, the boss can make a big deal. Let's not talk about whether your name is resounding or not. As long as Huang Chao is still there, the Xuanming Sect cannot appear in the public eye."
With Hongjian's infiltration, Zhu Wen led his troops south from Danzhou and quickly captured Tongzhou. The bad commander also sent him a message. You better restrain yourself. Don't forget that you are a bad person. Datang Some of the officials should be released as they should.
In this way, Hongjian let Mi Cheng, the governor of Tongzhou, run away.
At that time, Wang Chongrong, the military governor of Hezhong, gathered tens of thousands of troops and gathered other vassal towns with the plan to regain Tongzhou. Zhu Wen fought with him, but was killed and defeated. Zhu Wen sent ten letters in succession, requesting Huang Chao to quickly send troops for reinforcements.
Naturally, he would not close his eyes and wait for death. He thought of Hongjian and his Xuanming Sect.
Hong Jian was almost crying when he saw the big man in front of him. He also sighed: "I can't kill the Jiedushi opposite. He has 30,000 elite soldiers with him. I can't let our people die in vain."
In this way, Zhu Wen struggled to support himself, but could not wait for the news of reinforcements. His confidants persuaded him to surrender to the Tang army. Zhu Wen also felt that the Tang Dynasty was not exhausted, and the series of things Huang Chao did since he became emperor were not like It was the work of Mr. Right.
But he had to discuss this matter with Hongjian. This ruthless man was cultivated by King Huang. He also wanted to see where he stood. If he didn't agree, he could only bear the pain and kill him.
"Down!"
Hongjian was very decisive. Seeing that Zhu Wen was a little confused, he explained: "Since I have chosen you, I will not have any second thoughts. King Huang's kindness is only related to me. How can I put you aside because of this matter?" His future is ruined.”
Zhu Wen was moved to tears on the surface, but he was even more happy in his heart, so that’s it!
He killed Yan Shi, Huang Chao's military supervisor, and led all the soldiers and civilians in Tongzhou to surrender to Wang Chongrong. What is even more admirable is that Zhu Wen shamelessly recognized Wang Chongrong as his uncle, and was recommended by the latter as the military governor of Tonghua.
Hong Jian also admired Zhu Wen's behavior very much, and even applauded him. This move was so wonderful. As expected, shameless people can take advantage of him wherever they go.
Li Xuan, the emperor of the current dynasty, was overjoyed when he learned in Shu County that Zhu Wen was willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side.
He immediately issued an edict to appoint Zhu Wen as General Zuojin Wuwei and Deputy Recruiting Envoy in Hezhong, and gave him the name "Quan Zhong".
Because of this incident, Hongjian finally became Zhu Wen's confidant. He sent a message to the commander: I have reached the top. If the commander does not close the net, I will become one person below and above ten thousand people.
The commander-in-chief sent him a message to continue to lurk and wait for the opportunity to act. As long as Zhu Wen had no intention of rebelling against the Tang Dynasty, there was no need to take action.
The bad commander in the Cangbing Valley was very satisfied with Hongjian's behavior, and he did not miss the important matter of persuading Zhu Wen to defect to the Tang Dynasty because of Huang Chao's kindness.
