Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

Zhu Cun told Zhu Wen the news about Shen Gongbao. He said Huang Jing had lost trust in Shen Gongbao and imprisoned him in prison. Zhu Cun proposed that they should rescue Shen Gongbao and invite his eighty-year-old mother to come, in order to completely win over Shen Gongbao's submission.

Zhu Wen thought for a moment and nodded.

Zhu Cun, your plan is very good. We must rescue Shen Gongbao as soon as possible and make him surrender to us. Zhu Wen said firmly.

Zhu Cun took a deep breath. He knew that this task was not easy. Saving Shen Gongbao required careful planning and execution.

The two immediately began formulating a plan of action. Taking into account the strict surveillance in the prison, they decided to take night operations to rescue Shen Gongbao when no one was prepared.

That night, under the moonlight, Zhu Cun and Zhu Wen led several loyal soldiers to quietly approach the prison. They avoided the sight of patrolling soldiers and used darkness to sneak up on their targets.

Finally, they arrived at the prison door. Zhu Cun fumbled gently and found a way to unlock it. After the door opened, they carefully entered the prison.

The prison was dark and damp, and screams of moaning could be heard. Zhu Cun and Zhu Wen were even more certain that Shen Gongbao was tightly imprisoned here.

Shen Gongbao, we are here to save you. Don't worry, we will protect your safety. Zhu Cun whispered to the prisoner in the darkness.

A weak and weak voice came from the corner: Are you from the rebel army?

Yes, we are. It's time to get out of here. Zhu Wen looked at Shen Gongbao, his tone full of encouragement.

Shen Gongbao stood up tremblingly. His body was thin, but his eyes were shining with hope. He knew that only by leaving with these people could he find freedom.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps and accelerated heartbeats, they left the prison silently. Cross the defenses and step into the land of freedom.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Cun and Zhu Wen went to find Shen Gongbao's eighty-year-old mother in person. They hope that by reuniting Shen Gongbao with his mother, they can completely impress and win over Shen Gongbao.

Shen Gongbao's mother was wearing a commoner and mending clothes in a simple room. Her hair is gray and her face is covered with traces of time.

Hello, Shen Gongbao’s mother. I am Zhu Cun from the rebel army. I came to you because I want to tell you about Shen Gongbao. Zhu Cun bowed respectfully to his mother.

Mom was stunned, a trace of doubt flashing in her weathered eyes.

Shen Gongbao? You mean Shen Gongbao? Where is he now? Is he okay? Mom asked nervously.

Zhu Wen walked to his mother and gently held her hand: Old lady, please don't worry, Shen Gongbao is with us now. We come to you to reunite you with Shen Gongbao and rebuild your family.

Mom's hands trembled slightly, and tears fell quietly.

Really? I finally get to see my son? Thank you, thank you! Mom grabbed Zhu Wen's hand excitedly.

Zhu Cun looked at his mother's excitement and felt the significance of their actions. They are not only trying to win Shen Gongbao's surrender, but also trying to rebuild a happy and united family.

After everything was ready, they took their mother back to the camp. When Shen Gongbao saw his mother, he shed tears of happiness.

Mom, I'm back! Please forgive me for taking this risk. I will never leave you again. Shen Gongbao hugged his mother, and the air was filled with deep affection and gratitude.

Zhu Cun and Zhu Wen looked at this scene with great excitement. They understand that in this difficult struggle, they are not only comrades-in-arms, but also a big family full of warmth and unity.

A few days later, after Huang Chao received Huang Jing's letter for help, he immediately mobilized 100,000 reinforcements to go to Bianzhou City. The news spread quickly and brought huge difficulties to Zhu Wen's attack.

Zhu Cun and Zhu Wen thought for a long time and decided to readjust their plan. They know that if they continue to stick to their original strategy, it will be difficult to win.

We must find a breakthrough, otherwise, the reinforcements brought by Huang Chao will put us in a desperate situation. Zhu Cun frowned and thought about the map.

Zhu Wen's eyes were firm. He stared at Bianzhou City on the map and gently placed his hand on the city mark.

We must use the geographical advantage outside the city to disrupt Huang Chao's reinforcements. Only by trying to weaken their power can Bianzhou City be recaptured. Zhu Wen spoke firmly.

So they began to develop a new strategy. They chose to attack at night and sent elite troops to sneak into the Huangchao reinforcement camp to carry out attacks and destruction.

The entire operation was fast and secretive. With their keen judgment and firm determination, the soldiers led by Zhu Cun successfully penetrated into the heart of Huang Chao's reinforcements.

In the dark, they launched a surprise attack. The sudden attack caught Huang Chao's reinforcements off guard. Confusion and panic spread throughout the camp.

The sword light flashed and the arrows rained densely. Zhu Cun and his warriors showed extraordinary fighting power. The goal of their battle was to quickly weaken the strength of Huang Chao's reinforcements and create opportunities for Zhu Wen's attack.

Huang Chao's reinforcements were panicked, and they surrendered or fled the battlefield one after another. Those who dared to resist were ruthlessly eliminated by Zhu Cun and his warriors.

Zhu Cun and Zhu Wen took advantage of the chaos to quickly adjust their formation and organize a large-scale charge. As they charged, the walls of Bianzhou City began to shake.

Although Huang Jing was aware of the critical situation, he still sent his most elite troops to stop Zhu Wen's attack.

Zhu Wen led his troops to the gates of Bianzhou City and launched a bloody battle with Huang Jing's elite troops.

The light of the swords crisscrossed, and the sound of swords clashing echoed in the night sky. Both sides come and go, fighting to the death.

Zhu Cun's body was flexible and his sword was erratic, killing the enemy soldiers and causing them to fall on their backs. He challenged Huang Jing head-on, and their swords clashed with countless sparks.

Zhu Wen, there is no way you can beat me! Don't try to take back Bianzhou City! Huang Jing roared

Zhu Wen faced Huang Jing's strong resistance, but a determined expression flashed on his face.

Huang Jing, do you think your reinforcements can change the situation of the war? I admit that you are strong, but that doesn't mean I will back down. I want to take back Bianzhou City! Zhu Wen's voice was calm and firm.

The competition between the two sides became extremely fierce, and no one was willing to give in. Their battle became the most intense battle in the entire Bianzhou City.

The flames of battle burned the entire night sky, and the sound of swords clashing excited people's hearts. The background of Zhu Wen's struggle with Huang Jing has also become an insurmountable gap between them.

However, as the battle progressed, Zhu Wen finally found Huang Jing's weakness, and he accurately seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

Huang Jing gritted his teeth and resisted Zhu Wen's attack with all his strength. But Zhu Wen's plan had already anticipated Huang Jing's reaction. However, countless fire bulls rushed out. Sitting on the fire bull was a black-faced general. He announced his name as Shang Taide, and used a meteor hammer to quickly rescue Huang Jing. The fire bull army was overwhelming and killed Shen Gongbao and the supervisor. Zhanshan, Taoist priests Zhang Taiyi, Huang Ying, medical officer Bian Yong, Zhu Cun, and seven generals ran around. They had to flee back to their stationed Huluzui camp. Shen

Gongbao, Jiang Shibiao led the Linghu Army in Linghu Village, and Li Tianhao led the Taiyi Xianshan Taiyi Army with a total of 100,000 people to attack Bianzhou three times. Huang Jing came with an army of 100,000 people to fight against Jinshatan.
