Zhu Li was stationed in the north bank of the Wei River and always paid attention to the movements of Tuoba Sigong and Li Xiaochang.

In fact, Zhu Wen had already discovered the situation of the East Bridge, but he found that Zhu Li did not go straight into Chang'an. After thinking about it, he understood what the other party was worried about. Therefore, he just set up some obstacles between the East Bridge of the Wei River and the Middle Bridge of the Wei River, stationed some people to prevent Zhu Li from attacking, so he focused on dealing with Li Xiaochang.

Tuoba Sigong and Li Xiaochang of course also got the news that Zhu Li's soldiers took down the Wei River East Bridge without bloodshed, but the two did not send anyone to invite Zhu Li to help. After all, at the beginning, the two took advantage of their many soldiers and widening generals and forced Zhu Li to take out. Now they are naturally embarrassed to ask Zhu Li for help.

The key is that the two of them are, one is the Junyan Jiedushi, and the other is the newly released Xia Suiyin Jiedushi. If the two Jiedushi's achievements are not as good as a small governor, then their people will be greatly lost.

Since mid-July, the Youzhou Army and the Fuyan Army have launched countless charges towards the south of the bridge, but they were all beaten back by Zhu Wen without any surprise.

The battle continued and in mid-August, Li Xiaochang and Tuoba Sigong could no longer bear such losses, so they had to stop the attack and instead wanted to continue to contact more military governors to help.

But the war is not something you can stop and fight at the same time. Li Xiaochang and Tuoba Sigong have a low morale and are trying to truce. Is this possible?

In late August, Zhu Wen and Meng Kai led their troops to raid at night and defeated Tuoba Sigong and Li Xiaochang's camp. When Zhu Li got the news and wanted to go to rescue, Li Xiaochang and Tuoba Sigong had already run away.

In desperation, Zhu Li had to retreat northeastward. The army advanced and retreated in an orderly manner under Zhou Dewei's command, without giving Zhu Wen at all. Meng Kai could take advantage of the opportunity to safely escape Zhu Wen's pursuit.

The army retreated to Weinan and happened to meet Dasheng Shangrang, who came to support Zheng Qie, so he stationed and waited for Zhu Wen and Meng Kai's pursuit.

The next day, Wang Chongying, the governor of Bining, also came to serve the king. Somehow, found the place, and the three parties joined forces to establish a line of defense.

After several days, after gathering the remaining troops, Li Xiaochang and Tuoba Sigong, who became vibrant again, also rushed to Weinan. After everyone discussed it, they planned to fight against Zhu Wen and Meng Kai in Weinan.

Regarding the battle situation on the banks of the Wei River, two Jiedushi returned defeated, while one governor surrendered the entire enemy without any bloodshed, spreading wildly, making Li Xiaochang and Tuoba Sigong in the coalition army very embarrassed.

Even Xizong, who was in Chengdu, was very surprised to hear the news. The emperor liked people who could win battles, and even the powerful official Tian Lingzi was very happy. After all, the power of eunuchs came from the emperor. If the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the Li family would certainly disappear, but as the powerful official who called the wind and rain in the Tang court, they would also be in trouble.

Soon Chengdu issued an edict to send it to the coalition forces. This time, Zheng Qi was granted the title of the commander-in-chief of the army in the camp, and Zhu Li was the governor of the Hedong Jiedushi in charge of the coalition forces together, attacking Zhu Wen and Meng Kai.

In the temporary camp, the atmosphere was a bit strange. The strange atmosphere was caused by changes in identity. When the rebellion of Shatuo was suppressed, Zheng Ting was the governor of Fengxiang, Li Xiaochang was the governor of Fuyan, and Wang Chongying was the governor of Bining.

Shi, Zhu Li was just a small Yunqi Commander at that time.

After pacifying Shatuo, Li Xiaochang became the governor of Fuyan, and Wang Chongying became the governor of Bining. The only thing that remains unchanged was Zheng Ting, and Zhu Li only became a governor of Xiazhou. In the eyes of these big guys, it was indeed insignificant.

But now it’s different. Not to mention Zheng Ting, but only Zhu Li, he has now become the governor of Hedong, and he also has the word "六国大子" and controls the three armies. The change in status makes these big men feel uncomfortable.

The big guys who were arrogant in the past now have to sit down and listen to the assignment of a young man. The atmosphere is not strange, but there is a ghost. Even Tuoba Sigong, the recently emerged Xia Suiyin Jiedushi, looked very ugly. After all, he had the greatest momentum and almost brought out most of the elite Dangxiang, but he was defeated in a terrible defeat.

As for Li Xiaochang, he had a ghost in his heart and had the idea of ​​dividing the troops into three groups, but he suggested to Tuoba Sigong that he just looked at Zhu Li's young man and deliberately wanted to watch Zhu Li's jokes, but in the end, the jokes of others were not seen, but he became a joke.

Zheng Ting took the lead in breaking this embarrassing atmosphere and said, "Zhu Wen, Meng Kai's army is ahead. If you have a good plan to defeat the enemy, you might as well tell me. Let's discuss it and see if it is feasible."

Everyone, look at me, I see that you didn't say anything, but Tuoba Sigong bowed: "General Zheng, our army has been defeated, and all the supplies and foods have fallen into the hands of the grass army. I think it's better to solve the problem of supplies and foods first. The men are not full, and they cannot be loyal to the country." (Tang Dynasty: Generally, the Jiedushi is called General Manager, Governor, etc.)

"Yes, let's solve the problem of supplies, food and grass first." Li Xiaochang agreed, and his food and grass were also lost.

Zheng Ting said calmly: "Don't worry, you two. I have captured a large amount of supplies after I have captured Shangrang. I will give some to you later."

Tuoba Sigong and Li Xiaochang looked at each other when he heard this, and quickly bowed to Zheng Ting and thanked him: "Thank you, the general manager, for your help."

"Thank you, the general manager."

"You're welcome, you're all working for the country." Zheng Ting said indifferently, "Zhu Wen and Meng Kai's army are similar in number as us. If we fight hard, it will last for a long time, so I think it's better to focus on the odd attack."

Everyone nodded silently, but no one spoke. This scene made Zhu Li unable to sit still. When he came to this era, he found that the biggest problem of the Tang Dynasty bureaucrats was discussing matters. A group of people gathered together to make nonsense, or simply pondered silently, but they could not discuss a charter, and the efficiency was too poor.

So he bowed to Zheng Ting and said, "General Zheng, Huang Chao attacked Chang'an, and he won the victory on the spot, but ended up in a dilemma of being attacked everywhere. In this situation, it is most likely to lead to unstable morale in the army. Zhu thought that we could release rumors and bewitch the guards of the army. If we could not lose the morale of the enemy without spending one soldier, wouldn't it be even better?"

"Well, Governor Zhu might as well say it in detail." Zheng Ting came to his spirits, and even the others were cheered up. After all, Zhu Li's record was not made, but real. Many people here have worked with him, so they attach great importance to his suggestions.

Zhu Li looked around everyone and continued: "We can spread rumors that Huang Chao will inevitably lose, it is best to make sense and convincing.

Some are the people, and the people are blind and are most susceptible to rumors. If they believe that Huang Chao is destined to be defeated, within a few days, someone in the Cao army will inevitably flee. Once a large number of Cao army are disintegrated, wouldn’t we be able to defeat Zhu Wen and others without any effort?”

"Okay, a clever plan." Zheng Ting looked at Zhu Li with a bright look and said repeatedly.

"No, it's really amazing." Wang Chongying, the only one who had no disgust towards Zhu Li, also praised.

Even Li Xiaochang and Tuoba Sigong agreed to the wonderful plan. The most important thing was to use Zhu Li's plan, without sending troops at all. They could slow down and reorganize their military power when they were defeated in the Weishui River.

The plan was decided, and everyone made a separate preparation. Zheng Ting sent people to collect countless coarse cloths, cut them into pieces, and then wrote on the coarse cloth ten reasons why Huang Chao would lose, tied the coarse cloth to the feather arrow, and ordered the guards to shoot into Zhuwen's camp at night.

That night, the patrol guards of the Cao Army discovered the feather arrows entering the camp. They thought someone had attacked, but after countless feather arrows fell into the camp without discrimination, there was no movement. The patrol guards pulled out a feather arrow and checked it. They found something on the feather arrow. When they opened it, they were shocked.

On the coarse cloth, the beginning is four big characters, "Huang Chao will be defeated." The reason why Huang Chao will be defeated is analyzed under these four big characters: "1: Cao's army attacks and plunders everywhere and does not want to manage, so it cannot last long. If the king does not take it, it will be defeated one; 2: Now Cao's army steals Chang'an, and the world is shocked, and attacks it. With Huang Chao's common people, he can be defeated one by the heroes of the world, which means he will be defeated two by the two;..."

The reasons listed above are all precise and reasonable. The patrol guard was sweating profusely and his face turned pale. At this moment, many guards were awakened by the sound of arrows, quietly took off the bow and arrow, took off the cloth strips, and those who were literate immediately started to look at it, and those who were illiterate also asked the literate person in a low voice.

The patrol team was finding something wrong and quickly ordered someone to hand over the feather arrows. However, at this time, many people pretended to pull the arrows and hand over, but quietly put the cloth strips in their arms.

Zhu Wen was also awakened by his subordinates at night. When he asked about the reason, his expression changed drastically. Before dawn, he sought out the military camp and confiscated the coarse cloth, but there were still many less cloth brocades with the words "Huang Chao will definitely defeat". He knew that something was wrong and quickly convened an emergency military discussion.

Many generals and strategists of the grass army were awakened by this incident, dressed in neat clothes, and entered the central army's tent one after another. The candles were bright and bright as daytime.

Zhu Wen sat in the first position, his face was so gloomy that it could drip into water. He looked around the civil and military officials and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Ting is indeed old and stingy. This move is indeed insulting. He tried his best to defeat tens of thousands of troops without spending one soldier. His heart would be punished. Everyone, how to deal with it now, please do your best to calm this matter. If not, we don't have to fight, we should just prepare to run away."

Zhu Wen has many capable people, and now it is an emergency military discussion. Dozens of civil and military officials stand in the big tent. Everyone took the coarse cloth strips and circulated them with each other, but no one spoke for a while.

After the tea breaks, a fierce general stepped forward and bowed: "General, the rumors in the army have not yet completely dispersed. We might as well take the opportunity to fight Weinan and fight to the death with Zheng Ting. We still have a fight to break the rumors with actual results."
