From beggar to emperor: I am not Zhu Yuanzhang

The surrounding vassal towns have heard that Yang Xingmi has recently established a mysterious special operations force, called "Black"? I want to see how dark you are.

The leaders of the vassal town who wanted to cause trouble for Yang Xingmi sent troops to attack Yang Xingmi's territory. Yang Xingmi jumped up and said, "Well done, I just wanted to test the lethality of my Heiyundu. If you come here on your own initiative, I will accept it." Bar."

Every time the battle reached a stalemate, Yang Xingmi would send all the black clouds on the field. This group of people is like a black whirlwind, one is as powerful as ten, and they are unstoppable. It can be said that there is no grass growing wherever they pass. They attack cities and territories and are invincible. Every one of them is in a desperate posture.

Soon, warlords from far and near all realized the power of this army. When they saw a group of black coming towards their faces on the battlefield, they immediately collapsed like an avalanche. This was called a black transformation.

Tian Kai was very embarrassed. Boss Yang did this. Isn't this a slap in the face? What's this? I captured those prisoners, and I eliminated hidden dangers for you. Now I have become a villain, and you have become a living Bodhisattva who saves all sentient beings. It is really unreasonable!

Yang Xingmi is about to return to Yangzhou.

Before leaving, he decided to hold a commendation meeting to reward those who had made great contributions in the Battle of Xuanzhou. However, when the list of commendations came out, everyone was shocked. Tian Wei, who won the first prize, only received the title of Xuanzhou Governor. .

Most of the other heroes followed Yang Xingmi back to Yangzhou to drink and eat large pieces of meat. Only Tian Kai was left to guard in Xuanzhou. It seems not difficult to see the subtle changes in Yang Xingmi's attitude towards Tian Kai.

The anger in Tian Kai's heart cannot be described in human language.

I risked my life to save you, and this is how you treat me? Since you are unkind, don't blame someone in my field for being unjust.

Tian Kai would not reflect on his own problems, nor would he understand why Yang Xingmi suddenly changed his attitude towards him.

Tian Kai was indeed a fierce general with explosive combat prowess, but he also had a fatal flaw, that is, his military discipline was corrupt. Every time he captured a city, he allowed his soldiers to loot and loot, leaving a very bad impression on the people.

The problem is that he is not representing himself, but Yang Xingmi. People will think that Yang Xingmi is indulging his evil deeds, which is troublesome.

If you do this, it will be like pouring dirty water on Yang Xingmi's head, which will seriously affect Yang Xingmi's entrepreneurial plans. Yang Xingmi is a person with great ambitions and will never tolerate such pig teammates ruining his big things.

This is probably the reason why Yang Xingmi's attitude towards Tian Kai suddenly changed. Normally, Tian Kai would definitely be the first to contribute, and the reward for him would only be high or low. At least he would have to arrange a hot and good position in Yangzhou. Now he is given a A feeling of being relegated to the cold palace.

No wonder Tian Kai was angry.

After Yang Xingmi left, Xuanzhou returned to its former peace. Tian Kai sat on the tower every day and drank boring wine to pass the time. This person is not a kind person, and he can still attract his attention when there is a war. Now that there is peace, he is at a loss. He is bored and wanders around Xuanzhou Street with a group of followers every day. When he sees a beautiful woman, he will die. If someone takes it away, anyone who dares to stop it will be beaten to death.

Tian Wei's misbehavior caused the people of Xuanzhou to complain and complained.

The news soon reached the ears of Yang Xingmi in Yangzhou, but Yang Xingmi was very busy at this time and had no time to ask about what Tian Kai had done.

Now looking back, why was Yang Xingmi able to defeat the arrogant Sun Ru with the weak defeating the strong?

It's not because of how brave he is. In fact, Yang Xingmi is not good at archery, horseback riding, and martial arts. However, he has several advantages that Sun Ru does not have, that is, he is generous, smart, values ​​talents, cherishes soldiers, and can Sharing the joys and sorrows with everyone, the most valuable thing is to employ people with no doubts and no suspicion.

As the saying goes, "A big tree attracts the wind." Yang Xingmi, who has grown into a towering tree, can finally stand up and play mahjong with the gold members of the warlord club. But this circle is destined to be a dangerous and murderous Shura field. If you want to survive, you must constantly eliminate others and strengthen yourself. Yang Xingmi's rise has attracted many unfriendly eyes around him, and his troubles have just begun.

Huainan, where the undercurrent is surging, has not really calmed down. A new storm is slowly approaching...

After Sun Ru was eliminated, Yang Xingmi's career began to rise rapidly, and his influence became more and more important. In order to avoid the warlords' harm, the prefectures and counties near Huainan wrote to Yang Xingmi one after another, hoping to join his command to ensure the safety of the people.

A typical representative of this is Wu Tao, the governor of Huangzhou. He wrote five letters to Yang Xingmi, strongly requesting Yang Xingmi to accept Huangzhou. Wu Tao was willing to lead the people of Huangzhou to join the big family of Huainan.

Huangzhou is today's Huanggang, Hubei Province. According to the administrative division of the imperial court at that time, Huangzhou did not fall under the jurisdiction of the Huainan Jiedushi, but fell under the jurisdiction of the Wuchang Jiedushi. Therefore, from a procedural point of view, Wu Tao's request was illegal and would not be approved and allowed by the court. So why did he repeatedly ask Yang Xingmi to accept Huangzhou even though he knew it would not work?

It turned out that Wu Tao was also full of bitterness and had nowhere to express his feelings.

Huangzhou, where Wu Di was located, was under the jurisdiction of Wuchang Jiedushi, and it had been in turmoil in recent years. Warlords from all walks of life fiercely fought for annexation, and the people were displaced and miserable.

The Wuchang Jiedushi appointed by the imperial court had been driven away long ago. Now the person claiming to be Wuchang Jiedushi is a warlord leader named Du Hong. He relied on his strong troops and horses to directly declare his appointment as Wuchang Jiedushi without the need for the imperial court. Yes, I, Lao Du, agree to it.

After Du Hong's "Wuchang Jiedu Envoy" sign was put up, an embarrassing scene occurred. No one recognized his new title, let alone the court's attitude.

Du Hong became angry and decided to resort to a trick. He sent people to Kaifeng with gold and silver treasures to ask for an audience with Liang Wang Zhu Wen, the most powerful official in the court at that time.

Zhu Wen had already forced Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, who was in power at the time, to confer him the title of Prince of Liang, making him the de facto emperor.

However, Zhu Wen's trick of "holding the emperor to control the princes" against Tang Zhaozong angered the vassal towns everywhere. Under the banner of saving the country and the emperor, they raised troops to attack Zhu Wen one after another, claiming to eliminate Zhu Wen and rebuild the Tang Dynasty.

In order to deal with these vassal towns, Zhu Wen had to strengthen his power, so he cultivated his best friends under the banner of the imperial court. As long as anyone respects him as the boss, he will use the name of the court to issue letters of appointment indiscriminately. In name, he is to find talents for the court, but in fact he is recruiting troops and winning people's hearts for himself.

When Du Hong's envoy arrived in Kaifeng, he met Zhu Wen and explained his intention. Zhu Wen was attracted by the golden gold and silver jewelry in front of him and happily accepted them all. In the name of Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, he issued an edict to confer Du Hong as the military envoy of Wuchang.

Du Hong got his wish and became the military governor of Wuchang he dreamed of. Then he sent people to the state capitals to intimidate and induce them, forcing them to surrender to him.

Most of the state capitals were forced to surrender to Du Hong due to Du Hong's power, but Huangzhou remained unmoved.

The governor of Huangzhou is Wu Tao who appeared earlier.

Wu Tao repeatedly refused entry to Du Hong's envoys and refused to accept Du Hong's notices, which completely angered Du Hong.

Du Hong vowed to teach Wu a lesson and make him sober.

So he mobilized heavy troops to kill Huangzhou. Du Hong's hometown was only separated from Huangzhou by the Yangtze River. The two sides faced each other across the river and were very close. Du Hong easily crossed the Yangtze River and surrounded Huangzhou City.

When Wu saw Du Hong coming to attack the city, he knew that he was no match for Du Hong. In desperation, he thought of Yang Xingmi, the military governor of Huainan next door, so he sent people to break out of the city overnight to see Yang Xingmi and ask Yang Xingmi to rescue Huangzhou.
