Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If we say that Huang Mingyuan hated the most people at the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Zhu Can ranked second, and no one could rank first.

    Huang Mingyuan has never denied that no matter how much he talks about serving the country and the people, he is still a refined egoist in his heart.  As for other people, whether they are officers and soldiers, bandits or Yang Guang, no matter whether they are good or bad, their actions are not out of the scope of human nature.

    Only Zhu Can is a bad wolf wearing human skin.

    "Compared to other rebel predecessors, Zhu Can started his army not too early.  Zhu Can was a native of Qiao County. When he was young, he served as a county official. It was not until the ninth year of Daye that Zhu Can fled with the army to conquer the bandits in Changbai Mountain.  With more than 100,000 troops, they plundered between the Han River and the Huai River.

    Zhu Can¡¯s tribe migrated irregularly, and wherever they passed, there was no one inhabited.  Every time a prefecture or county was conquered, the food accumulated in that prefecture or county was not eaten up, so it was moved again. When leaving the prefecture and county, all the remaining supplies in the prefecture and county were burned. As a result, the bones of the people who died of starvation piled up in mountains, and people appeared in cannibalism.  Case.

    When Zhu Can's army had nothing to plunder and there was a shortage of food in the army, Zhu Can asked the soldiers to cook women and children to eat, and said to his subordinates: "There is no food more delicious than human flesh, as long as there are other foods in other towns."  Why should you worry about going hungry!"

    The author Zuolang Lu Congdian and Yan Zhitui's son Tongshiren Yan Minchu both lived in Nanyang because of their demotions.  Zhu Can initially invited the two of them to be his guests. Later, Zhu Can was short of food and ate their entire family.  Zhu Can also expropriated women and children from each city to supply the army with food, causing each city to rebel one after another.

    Yang Shilin, Yang Zhongda, and Tian Zan were all Zhu Can's generals, but they could not bear his tyranny, so they worked together to defeat him and drive him out of Huaixi.

    Zhu Can led his troops to Nanyang and stationed in Jutan County (now Licheng, ten miles north of Neixiang County, Henan Province).

    At this time, there were many forces in the Nanyang Basin. In addition to Zhu Can who was stationed in Jutan, there were also Lu Zizang, the former Prime Minister of Nanyang County in the Sui Dynasty, who was stationed in Rang County (now Dengzhou City, Henan Province), and Li Zizang, who was stationed in Xiyang County.  Ma Yuangui, the envoy of Xuanfu in the south of Tangshan.

    The three companies are in a powerful position in the Nanyang Basin.

    The Sui army divided its forces to attack various parts of Henan. Yan Xiaowu went south from Henan County, and Zhang Shanxiang surrendered to Xiangcheng County. Therefore, Yan Xiaowu was able to penetrate into the Nanyang Basin without any hindrance and stationed troops at Luyang Pass (southwest of today's Lushan County, Henan Province), becoming the fourth  A spoiler.

    To the south of Luyang Pass is Juoyang County, which together with the four counties of Nanyang, Huai'an and Chongling divides the Nanyang Basin into four.

    At this time, most of Juiyang County and the northern part of Nanyang County were controlled by Zhu Can.  However, these counties were only occupied by Zhu Can's generals and belonged to Zhu Can in name, but it was difficult for Zhu Can to fully command them.

    The Sui army went south, first breaking through Wuchuan County under the jurisdiction of Suiyang County (southeast of today's Nanzhao County, Henan Province), and made a posture of approaching Nanyang and threatening Jutan.

    This frightened Zhu Can.

    Although Zhu Can is not afraid of heaven or earth, he is not a fool.  The Sui army even defeated Li Mi who besieged Dongdu. Could it be that he could stop it.

    Although Zhu Can is hated by people and dogs, even his subordinates can't stand him and betray him repeatedly, but he is still able to live at ease to this day, which has a lot to do with his sharp judgment.

    Zhu Can gave full play to his ability to run and never fought against those he couldn't beat.

    At this time, Zhu Can decided to abandon Nanyang and march south to Jingxiang to avoid the limelight of the Sui army.  I heard that Huainan is rich and prosperous, so the brothers can go to Huainan and live a happy life.

    The generals heard this and agreed one after another.  Jianghuai is a good place and will keep them happy for a long time.

    But Zhu Can¡¯s adviser Zhang Delu had different opinions.

    Zhang Delu is Zhu Can¡¯s playmate since he was a child, and one of the only people Zhu Can can listen to.

    In Zhang Delu's view, this is no longer the past. It has shifted from the merger of heroes to the era of annexation by princes. Everyone is rushing to compete for territory and expand their strength. If this continues, there is no future.

    Besides, Jingxiang is not what it used to be.  &#24378&#29306&#32&#57&#57&#98&#120&#119&#120&#46&#99&#111&#109&#32&#35835&#29306

    Now Xiao Mian, a descendant of Xiao Liang, raised troops in Jingxiang, proclaimed himself emperor, and has occupied most of Jingxiang.  The hearts of people in Jingxiang are attached to them, and they are all guarded by them.  Zhu Can's reputation in the Jingxiang area was not good. Once he entered Jingxiang rashly and was blocked by Xiao Xian, the consequences would be unpredictable.

    Zhu Can was not convinced after hearing this. He had been in the world for a long time, how could he still be inferior to Xiao Mian, a mere kid with a yellow mouth?

    However, Zhang Delu gave up Zhu Can's idea with one sentence, and Xiao Mian covered more than 30 counties and had 400,000 troops.

    Hearing this, Zhu Can¡¯s mind that had just been about to get up immediately cleared up.?400,000 troops, but ten times his number.  Zhu Can's total number of men and horses at this time was only ten thousand, how could he possibly defeat it.

    Zhu Can may have countless evil qualities, but his ability to succeed is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

    Zhu Can was born as a minor official and started at a very young age, so he developed a character that puts profit first and does not care about shame.  To him, things like face are worthless. If it could change his future and status, he would rather be his father.

    Therefore, Jingxiang must not go.

    But Jingxiang can¡¯t make a detour, and Henan won¡¯t either.

    To the east of Nanyang Basin is Er Yang and Tian Zan. The three of them want Zhu Can to die. Once Zhu Can goes east, they will try their best to stop him.

    If Zhu Can could defeat three people, he would have gone east long ago, and he wouldn't be able to hold it here.

    You can neither take the south road nor the north road. Going to Huainan is equivalent to farting.

    As for Li Tang to the west, it is separated by mountains and rivers, making it difficult to pass.

    Zhu Can was at his wits end.

    Zhu Can¡¯s force has never had a foundation, let alone a clear goal. No matter how powerful the force is, it is essentially a rogue bandit.  And none of the people could solve the problem, so now they can only stare.

    At this time, Zhang Delu thought for a while and suggested: "Your Majesty, how can we not surrender to the Sui Dynasty?"

    Surrender to the Sui Dynasty?  At this time 99bxwx.c om* Zhang Si

    Zhu Canke never thought about it.  When Li Mi was so powerful, he never thought of surrendering.  If you can be at ease on your own, why should you surrender to others?

    At this time, Zhang Delu advised: "Today is different from the past. It is an era of fighting for the world. It is destined that only one person can win. I heard that the Duke of Wei of the Sui Dynasty had millions of troops and had defeated Li Yuan, Li Mi and many others one after another.  I'm afraid we won't be able to unify the world for long. We must either become his enemy or take refuge with him. May I ask, Your Majesty, are you willing to defeat this man?"

    Zhu Can remained silent.

    After a while, Zhu Can asked: "Can surrendering to the Sui army guarantee our interests?"

    Zhang Delu looked at Zhu Can but did not reply.

    With the current size of both parties, it goes without saying that Zhu Can is definitely not as comfortable as he is now.  The most likely possibility is that he will be transferred to another place and given an official position such as a prefect, or a general. In the end, he may not be able to keep the army.

    But it was obvious that Zhu Can was not willing to accept such conditions.  Zhida z.com Zhixiao
