(Yesterday's typo, the Zhongwu Army in Xuzhou was a place where Li Ye needed to pass by.)

Dengzhou.

It was dusk, and the sunset was setting on the horizon, and golden sunlight shone on the top of the city, covering the dilapidated city that was destroyed by war. In front of the collapsed city tower, a burly general with golden armor was standing solemnly pressing his knife and looking around.

He had facial features like cuts, hawk-eyed eyes, and strong waist like pine, majestic and imposing, but looking at his face, he was only about thirty years old. Behind him, several generals and schoolmen, and a team of soldiers covered with armor, their eyes were full of awe when they looked at the golden armored general.

The Golden Armor General was Zhu Wen. He didn't speak, and the people behind him dared not speak.

The collapsed female wall was covered with blood and the falling flags were dilapidated, but there were no corpses on the top of the city. There were soldiers and civilians everywhere, transporting wood, stone and other objects to the city wall, repairing the city wall that was destroyed by their own hands, and there was a busy scene.

They took a lot of effort to conquer Dengzhou, and they had to defend it after conquering it, which required more effort.

From time to time, a team of Taoists came to the top of the city, walked towards Zhu Wen, and saluted from afar. There were five Taoists in this group. The leader was holding a whisk. He was a half-bian. The four of them behind him were carrying long swords. They looked almost in their forties.

Zhu Wen recognized them. These were Taoists from Zhongnan Mountain, and the long-standing "Four Swords of Zhongnan". They have been following Huang Chao in the south and north for many years. They usually guard Huang Chao and have saved Huang Chao's life many times in the chaos.

As Huang Chao's former personal army commander, Zhu Wen is very familiar with the Taoist of Zhongnan Mountain and knows their power. These people can use sharp swords to charge into battle, and as powerful generals, they can take the heads of enemy generals among thousands of troops. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are unpredictable.

However, Zhu Wen himself is also at the ninth level of Qi training. He does not look up to the Four Swords of Zhongnan, which are also the ninth level of Qi training. Although he knows that he can't walk for a few rounds in the opponent's sword formation, he is a general who is not a killer in the martial arts world.

"What are the things that a few Taoist priests are not in Chang'an to guard His Majesty, who come to Dengzhou?" Zhu Wen clasped his fists slightly and asked loudly. The Taoist in Zhongnanshan has a high status in the rebel army, but Zhu Wen did not mean to be afraid of them. Even if he was not a famous general in the army who had become famous in the bloody battle, he was just a rogue who had not yet joined the army. Zhu Wen would not be afraid of anyone. The only strong man he truly admired was himself.

The Taoist in charge has a long and fair face. Although he is over fifty years old, he still looks fine and tender. He is better at maintaining than a young woman with a daughter. This man calls himself Wuyazi and is an elder of the Dao Sect in Zhongnan Mountain. His cultivation is unfathomable, but Zhu Wen has never liked him, and he always feels like a eunuch.

Wuyazi, who was holding the whisk, smiled: "Your Majesty personally took charge of the war in Guanzhong, and the prime ministers assisted him. He had just defeated Zheng Ting, so naturally there was no big problem. General Zhu was alone outside the pass, facing the strong enemies in the north and south of the Central Plains, guarding the gate for Guanzhong. It is very important. We will come to help."

Zhu Wen said expressionlessly: "I thank you all for this."

He said thank you, but his face was full of dissatisfaction. Obviously, in his opinion, the battle on the battlefield was upright and there was no need for these Taoists. Zhu Wen led the elite troops under his command, who were enough to conquer cities and plunder the land and stand alone. This was his most basic confidence and confidence.

Wuyazi could naturally see what Zhu Wen was thinking, but he was not annoyed and smiled: "The general occupied Dengzhou, with mountains in the west, eastern capital in the north, and Xiangyang in the south, which was indeed a great opportunity. However, Dengzhou was the jurisdiction of the Shandong East Road governor after all, and Xiangyang's troops might not sit idly by. At that time, in order to block the throat of the southern Tang army in the north, the general must ensure the overall flanks on the east side and the east side..."

Wuyazi was also a long talk about this, but Zhu Wen was a little impatient. He was born as a ruffian and had never read any books. How could he stand it? Before the other party finished speaking, he waved his hand and interrupted: "Liu Jurong, Xiangyang, just a turtle. If I don't attack his Xiangyang, he will burn high incense. If he wants him to send troops north to attack me, it will be impossible."

Liu Jurong, the governor of Shannan East Road in Xiangyang, said the guy who said, "Let the thief go away now, and there may be an opportunity for us to make another contribution in the future." Then he gave up the opportunity to pursue the good opportunity.

Zhu Wen continued, "As for the Zhongwu Jiedushi in the east..." He snorted, "Last year, my army crossed the border, he surrendered to us, and he was also a turtle with his head. Now he will occupy Dengzhou. It is too late for him to come to pay a visit, so how dare he use troops to me?"

Zhu Wen had such a hot temper, and Wuyazi was not angry. Seeing the other party’s guidance, there was an appreciation in his eyes, as if he was looking at a piece of uncensored jade. His smile became even worse. "Zhongwu Jiedushi Zhou Ji, maybe you don’t have to worry too much, but the general Zhu should remember it."

"Yang Fuguang?" Zhu Wen of course remembered that Wang Xianzhi was lured by the other party. He frowned slightly, "What kind of waves can a castration make? It's not that the general looked down on the castration. In fact, there is no good thing for the castration, and no one can do big things. Then Tian Lingzi, the Lieutenant of the Shence Army, is not a fool?"

Tian Lingzi yelled to guard Tongguan, but he could not restrain his troops from marching quickly. Before he set out, he had not arranged his food, fodder and supplies. As a result, before he could reach Tongguan, Tongguan was declared lost, so he could only flee in panic.

Everyone in the world knows the Shen Ce Army, and everyone knows the Lieutenant of the Shen Ce Army. He is a existence that even the emperor is bound to be constrained. However, the lieutenant of the Shen Ce Army was defeated without even seeing the Rebel Army. This matter has long become a joke among the Rebel Army.

In Zhu Wen's eyes, this kind of bucket can be a mighty man in Chang'an. When he really came to the battlefield, it would be fine if he didn't meet someone who could fight. If he met someone who could fight, he would be a gift for someone.

Wuyazi shook his head and said solemnly: "Other eunuchs may not be worth mentioning, but Yang Fuguang is not a simple person. Most eunuchs are from Fuzhou, and Yang Fuguang is the same. He was cleaned in Fuzhou and then traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an. When he entered the palace, he was only in his teens and had a good martial arts skills. He was soon appreciated. He recognized a great eunuch as his adopted son. He stood out in the palace struggle in just a few years and held a high position. But he was dissatisfied with the status quo and wanted a greater future, so he took the initiative to ask to supervise the military in the vassal states."

"When he arrived at the vassal state, Yang Fuguang quickly won the recognition of some soldiers of the vassal state army. This was not only because of his high cultivation, but also because he was generous and righteous, open-minded and honest, unlike ordinary eunuchs. Whenever there was a war, he would personally go to the front line to command the battle. His technique was very clever and he had many victories. General Zhu followed His Majesty since he joined the army, and he had few fights with Yang Fuguang, but Wang Xianzhi's troops were deeply harmed by Yang Fuguang, and he suffered heavy losses whenever he fought against him."

Speaking of this, Wuyazi paused and revealed a secret to Zhu Wen: "My Immortal Gate in Zhongnan Mountain is standing in a vital place. Taoist temples with thousands of miles of directions are obeyed our orders, so they have many eyes. The Taoist temples in Xuzhou have been reported more than once, saying that Yang Fuguang had evil intentions and had fought against Zhou Ji, the governor of Zhongwu, to surrender to the rebel army. He talked with him repeatedly and repeatedly, and he often expressed his unfaithful intentions. This person had to be careful."

Zhu Wen had a complete set of sluts, and seemed a little impatient. He didn't believe Wuyazi's words: "According to Taoist priests, this is not a castrated man, he is clearly a rare hero in the world! A guy who has no seeds is not even a man. Apart from conspiracy, tricks and power, what big thing can he accomplish?"

Zhu Wen already understood what he said. It would be a big joke to ask him to take a guy who had not played many tricks seriously. This was a battle on the battlefield, not a conspiracy in the power field.

Wuyazi said seriously: "It's not that he can't be a man, but that he can't. It's no wonder that he can't be. Fuzhou is remote, poor and weak, people live in difficult times, poor families can't even eat, their lives cannot be saved, and they will be bullied by wealthy families and live worse than dogs. At this time, what's the use of that thing under their crotch? For real men, living with dignity and respect is more important than anything else. To be honest, General Zhu and the eunuchs in Fuzhou are all the parents who ask someone to help them cleanse themselves and then ask someone to send them to Chang'an. They themselves have no choice."

Zhu Wen was stunned. He didn't know much about this. He thought that his body was all about after entering the palace, but he didn't expect that he would cut himself before entering the palace and then ran to Chang'an.

Zhu Wen waved his hand: "Okay, I have sent someone to Xuzhou to contact Zhou Ji and ask him to come and see me. If Yang Fuguang really has any unfair intentions, he will know that it is useless to suspect it now."

The reason why he never took Yang Fuguang in his eyes and was unwilling to talk too much was because of this. Since he had made arrangements, he just needed to see if Zhou Ji came to Dengzhou.

Wuyazi said, "I'm afraid that by then, everything will be too late."

Zhu Wen was unhappy: "What does Taoist priest mean?"

Wuyazi did not explain and smiled and said, "It is better for me to take Xuzhou on behalf of the general. If there is any emergency, it is better to prevent problems before it happens and strive to avoid causing trouble for the general. After all, the overall situation on the battlefield cannot tolerate any mistakes."

Wuyazi was willing to suffer, so Zhu Wen was of course happy to see that he was successful. As long as he didn't ask him for troops and generals, it would hinder him from repairing the city defense and arrange for Dengzhou's defense. "Since that's the case, then there will be a Taoist priest."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Wuyazi, with the famous Zhongnan four swords, directly rushed out of the female wall, climbed the horse tied to the city gate, and rode his horse to the official road.

After a while, the boss of Zhongnan's four swords frowned and asked Wuyazi: "Zhu Wen is so arrogant, why should we run errands for him and do this thankless thing?"

Wuyazi still smiled: "Who is not arrogant if he is a great talent? Zhu Wen's little temper is nothing. As for the others, don't ask more questions."

Zhongnan's sword wanted to speak but stopped.

Wuyazi hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I can only tell you that in the past, Zhongnan Mountain was fully assisting Huang Chao, but from now on, we must make Zhu Wen have a good impression of us."

Zhongnan thought about it and suddenly realized something. He was shocked: "What does senior brother mean?"

Wuyazi sighed lightly: "This is what Master means. Huang Chao has the luck of turmoiling the world, but he does not have the luck of turmoiling the world."

Among the five prefectures of Zhongwu, Xuzhou is the governing prefecture, and the other four surroundings are the subordinate prefectures. The Jiedushi Yamen is located in Xuzhou City.

At night, Zhou Ji, who was disguised as a peddler, left the governor's mansion through the back door, lowered his head and got on a delivery truck that had just been unloaded, and got on the rear of the cart. The farmer who delivered the vegetables took the money from the manager. Without looking at Zhou Ji, he pulled the cart away from the alley.

The cart walked around the streets and picked places with few people. After half an hour, it came to the back door of a deep mansion. The farmer stepped forward and knocked on the door, lowered to the person who stuck his head out and said, "Here you come."

The people in the mansion nodded to Zhou Ji, and the latter turned sideways into the mansion. Under the leadership of the previous man, he walked through the corridor and walked into the courtyard. He soon came to a remote house. The guide knocked on the door and a sharp voice came from inside: "What's the matter?"

"The person is here." The servant led the road whispered, then let him go to the side and let Zhou Ji enter the door.

Zhou Ji pressed the brim of the hat and walked into the door, and quickly looked around. This room should be where the servants live, and it was not spacious. Apart from the bed next to the wall, there was only a hardwood square table, four long benches, and a tall man in fine clothes and six feet long. He was standing by the table, and that was the military supervisor Yang Fuguang.

Zhou Ji took off his hat and showed a tough but slightly unhappy face. He clasped his fists to Yang Fuguang and smiled bitterly: "Yang Jianjun, we are in Xuzhou, so we must meet like this?"

Yang Fu has a shiny face and no beard, but his facial features are quite thick and he looks very yin, but he has a bit of a rough and crazy man. However, his skin is delicate, so he looks a little weird.

Yang Fuguang greeted Zhou Ji to take his seat, poured a glass of water for the other party from the teapot, and said in a cold voice: "Our family has no choice but to meet Zhu Wen's envoy today?"

"I've seen it." Zhou Ji took a sip of water, put down the teacup, and looked at Yang Fuguang and said, "Zhu Wen asked me to see him. This request is indeed a bit too much, but is it worth the military supervisor's fight?"

Yang Fuguang sat down, looked at Zhou Ji, and said slowly, "The reason why Lian Zhi is willing to come is not just because of our words? If Lian Zhi did not find any abnormalities, did not feel strange or threatened, how could he come to see our family like this?"
