Chapter 1057: The warmth between Zhu Wen, father and son, and the Han army destroys the Tang Dynasty

In the original historical time and space, Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang lived to be sixty-one years old and was killed by his son Zhu Yougui.

In this time and space, Zhu Wen lived to the age of seventy-seven.

Generally, when old people live to the age of seventy-seven, they are getting old and start thinking about their reputation in a hundred years.

Otherwise, Zhu Wen is still as violent as ever.

Moreover, his tyranny is not only directed at outsiders.

Even his biological son, Zhu Wen would kill him whenever he wanted, without a trace of tenderness.

Originally, Zhu Wen had a total of seventeen sons (including adopted sons), but Zhu Wen himself killed seven and frightened four to death.

Among the remaining six sons, except for four who were young and ignorant, only two sons survived to adulthood.

After these two Liang princes came of age, they only married one wife and lived their own lives behind closed doors every day.

The two brothers would not dare to do anything such as being arrogant and domineering and robbing civilian girls.

There are no beautiful dancers or maids in the mansion.

The reason why the two brothers lived so fearfully was because they were afraid of making the same mistake again and becoming the "latecomers" to the eleven brothers who came before them.

This day.

The Han Dynasty attacked the Tang Dynasty, and news of the overwhelming victory reached Luoyang, the capital of Liang Dynasty.

Zhu Wen couldn't care less about having fun in the harem, and quickly held a court meeting for all ministers to discuss reinforcements for the Tang Dynasty.

Previously, Zhu Wen had ordered the border troops to attack the Han State and carry out "encirclement Wei and rescue Zhao", but unfortunately it had no effect.

"Your Majesty!"

General Wang Tan, the military governor of Xuzhou, volunteered:

"I am willing to lead the army to attack the Han Dynasty and save the Tang Dynasty!"

When Zhu Wen saw Wang Tan standing up, he nodded with joy and said:

"General Wang will definitely defeat the Han army if he takes action!"

Zhu Wen was able to usurp the throne and proclaim himself emperor, so he naturally had a trump card.

He had a total of sixteen generals who were capable of conquering and fighting, such as Ge Cunzhou, Yang Shihou, Niu Cunjie, etc.

Of course, Zhu Wen is now seventy-seven years old, and most of his powerful generals have withered away, with only half of them left.

The remaining eight fierce generals respected Wang Tan in front of them.

The ministers in the court were secretly relieved when they saw Wang Tan taking action.

It seems that if Wang Tan goes on an expedition, he will definitely succeed immediately.

The meeting is over.

Zhu Youzhen waved to her brother, and the two came to a wine shop in the outer city of Luoyang in tacit understanding.

This is Zhu Youzhen's property, and the two brothers often come here for private meetings.

As soon as he entered the box, Zhu Youzhen said to his brother with excitement:

"Eighth brother, Wang Tan led the troops to leave Luoyang. What brother Wei said last time, now the opportunity has come. Do you want to follow brother Wei?"

When Zhu Youfeng heard Seventh Brother's old words mentioned again, he suddenly showed a troubled expression:

"Seventh brother, you are just a marching commander now, with only 3,000 soldiers and horses under you. I am just a commanding captain, with only 800 soldiers and horses. If we join forces and don't even have 4,000 soldiers, we can really achieve something. ?”

"You know, there are fifteen thousand forbidden troops in the imperial city. Even if half of them are taken away by General Wang Tan, there will still be seven or eight thousand people left. If you want to imitate Tang Taizong Li Shimin, your father is not Tang Gaozu!"

It was rare for Zhu Youfeng to be sober, and he did not want to be coerced by his seventh brother.

When Zhu Youzhen saw that her eighth brother was hesitating, not only was she not angry, but she was happy in her heart.

Last time, when he said that he would imitate Li Shimin and carry out the 'Xuanwumen Incident', Lao Ba was so frightened that he ran away and did not dare to say another word to him.

Now, this old man started to hesitate.

This means that he also has a heart.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen quickly revealed her trump card in order to prompt Zhu Youfeng to join her camp:

"Eighth brother, Zhao Gu, the commander of the Changle Gate Guards, has surrendered to me. With Zhao Gu cooperating with us, there is no need to fight forcefully. As long as we send troops into the imperial city, we can put our father under house arrest and force him to abdicate... ...After my father ascends to the throne of Zen, the world will be able to tell the story!"

Zhu Youfeng's expression changed after hearing Brother Qi's trump card.

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Zhu Youfeng slowly let a trace of joy appear on his face:

"Brother Qi, I don't want anything from the world. As long as you can allow me to be a prince in peace after you ascend the throne, I will be satisfied."

Zhu Youzhen just smiled after hearing this:

"Okay, when my brother ascends the throne, I will confer you the title of King of Qi and guard the land of Qi. How about that?"

"Thank you, seventh brother!"

Zhu Youfeng quickly thanked him.

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, as if one had really become the emperor and the other the king of Qi.

the next day.

Zhu Wen personally sent Wang Tan and the imperial army to leave the capital.

That night.

Zhu Youzhen and Zhao Gu were discussing how to raise an army, but Zhu Wen personally led the troops and captured one of them.

the next day.

Zhu Wen deposed the seventh prince Zhu Youzhen as the crown prince in the court and appointed the eighth prince Zhu Youfeng as the new crown prince.

Zhu Youfeng was also the fourth prince in Zhu Wen's dynasty.

The situation in the court changed so quickly that many people in Liangdu Luoyang did not react.

After Zhu Youfeng moved into the East Palace, he took three feet of white silk to Tianlao to visit his seventh brother.

When the brothers met again, Zhu Youzhen realized where he had gone wrong:

"Baby, did you betray me?"

"Brother Qi, you can't blame me for betraying you. After all, if you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"

Zhu Youfeng looked at the suddenly enlightened seventh brother and couldn't help laughing:

"Seventh brother, my father is already seventy-seven this year, how many more years can he live? If you can be more patient, in a few years, you can automatically ascend to the throne. Unfortunately, you are too impatient. I got a big deal!"

Tangdu, Taiyuan.

Su Mingzhe led the army to the city and received news that Liang State General Wang Tan led an army of 150,000 to attack Shaanzhou.

Shaanzhou, originally the capital of the Liang Kingdom, was seized by Su Mingzhe less than two years ago. Now it is guarded by a general named Pu Jianzhong who leads 8,000 soldiers.

When the generals under their command heard the news of Liang Jun's attack, they were afraid that Shaanzhou would be taken away, and then threatened to go to Hezhong Prefecture, cutting off the Han army's retreat.

Only Su Mingzhe laughed after hearing this:

"Shu Emperor Wang Yan is indeed a coward, not as bloody as Zhu Wen, an old thief!"

The generals relaxed a little when they saw that Su Mingzhe, the emperor, did not take Wang Tan seriously.

However, a general still stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, there is only one isolated city left in Taiyuan in the Puppet Tang Dynasty, which will be destroyed within three days. The last general is willing to lead the troops back to defend Shaanxi Province and protect the army's food routes..."

After hearing this, Su Mingzhe shook his head and refused:

"There is no need to return to defense. I believe that General Pu and the others will be able to repel the invading Liang army!"

Pu Jianzhong, the military commander who guarded Shaanzhou, had only 8,000 men under his command.

If he knew that Su Mingzhe had such deep trust in him, he would definitely shed tears of gratitude.

You know, this time, when Liang Jun came to attack, Wang Tan led a total of 150,000 troops.

A 150,000-strong army besieged Shaanzhou, which had only 8,000 soldiers. No matter how you looked at it, they were all flying dragons riding on their faces. There was no way they could lose.

Wang Tan thought the same way.

When he led his army to the city of Shaanzhou, he did not ask for surrender, but ordered the craftsmen in the army to start building siege ladders and other equipment.

On the second day.

Wang Tan was preparing to attack the city when he suddenly received a message from a flying pigeon:

"Just yesterday, Taiyuan, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was captured in a battle. Princess Zhenning and Li Cunxu were both captured by the Han Emperor?"

The generals under his command also looked confused:

"General, the Tang Dynasty has been destroyed, do we still want to attack Shaanzhou?"
