please make me king

Chapter 112
Zhang Shun was shocked when he heard this, how many lives would be needed to fill the moat connected with the fast-flowing Qin River to achieve the effect?He quickly expressed his objection, but was laughed at by the other three as "cowardly and weak".

Zhang Shun was helpless, since he couldn't stop them, he had no choice but to be alone.Then Chen Jindou persuaded: "Since ancient times, the emperor's karma has been to obey and obey. If it is the benevolence of a woman, how can he conquer the world if he does not kill him? A few days ago, the Lord taught the art of war: There will be five dangers: you must die, you can kill it." "If you are born, you can be captured; if you are angry, you can be insulted; if you are honest, you can be insulted; if you love the people, you can be annoying. Now the lord loves the people like a son, and it can be said to be annoying."

"I heard that a man loves his children and cannot dote on them like a woman. It should be far-reaching. Now that the lord can't protect himself, how can he protect the people of the world? If the lord loses the big because of a small one, the lord is unable to contribute to the great affairs of the world. If you can't respond to the destiny, if you can't protect your subjects, life and death will be controlled by others. If so, you will not be able to protect yourself and the people of the world? How can you achieve a great cause?"

Zhang Shun was very surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "Scholars will treat each other with admiration for three days. I never thought that Old Chen would have such insight! What do you think?"

Zhao Yutou, Chen Jingzhi and the newcomer Xu Ziyuan couldn't help nodding their heads in agreement, looking at Chen Jindou with admiration.Chen Jindou couldn't help being elated when he heard the words, and thought to himself: "That little girl is really amazing. Before Zhang Sanbai dictated to her the art of war explained by the lord, she actually came up with this remark in a moment, and it was aimed at the lord. taste."

How did Zhang Shun know that this was not what Chen Jindou thought, but that the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" he taught his subordinates and military generals had an effect, so he couldn't help being very happy, and said with a smile: "Since everyone thinks that I am too benevolent, I will take one for myself. Please comment on it. Although my name has a word Shun, our actions can’t be called Shun, how about my word reversed?”

"Good!" Everyone praised after hearing this, "Since ancient times, those who conquered the world have always been 'reverse and obedient'. This word just complements softness with strength, and complements benevolence and righteousness with killing."

Zhang Shun was also very happy to see that everyone was flattering the horses, he laughed, and ordered to attack the west gate of Huaiqing Mansion.This time, Zhang Shun also summed up some experience through the siege of Douzhuang.This method of siege is really a "last resort". Apart from sneak attacks and deception when the opponent is not prepared, if you want to lay down a well-defended city, you can only grind it step by step.

The first step is to clear the surrounding enemies and besiege the city; the second step is to suppress the enemy's long-range forces and clear the facilities outside the city; the third part is to try to break through a little bit, attack the city wall or enter the city, and then break the city Chance.

Because the city had a moat, Zhang Shun had no choice but to find some planks to make a cart and use it as a siege tool.Since most of Huaiqing Mansion is a plain terrain, unlike Shanxi's undulating mountains and forests with many trees, Zhang Shun had to ask his soldiers to borrow some door panels, tables and chairs from the surrounding "common people".

Fortunately, the people of Huaiqing Mansion were "enthusiastic". Not only did they lend themselves to the "Old Huihui" and "Chuangjiang" to do cannon fodder such as filling trenches and moats, but they also left door panels, tables and chairs at home, waiting for Zhang Shun's soldiers to come. Pick.

Although Zhang Shun felt that this matter was quite immoral, but compared with "Old Huihui" and "Chuang Jiang" and others, he became like a "saint".This is really not Zhang Shun's benevolence, it all depends on his peers to set it off.To be honest, Zhang Shun couldn't laugh or cry, he had to sigh: This is really a blue society!
Zhang Shun ordered his soldiers to make simple carts from the wood, nail planks to the front, cover with yellow mud, load the carts with loess, and push them to attack the city.Arriving in front of the city, there was a burst of arrows and guns on the city.

However, bullets and arrows couldn't penetrate the soil and baffles of Zhang Shun's cart at all. Only the artillery was still a little threatening. As a result, the "random bullets" of smoothbore guns in this era basically failed to hit people. Occasionally, some unlucky people died. It doesn't matter if you get one and a half.Anyway, in this era, human life is not worth much, and even they themselves often don't take their lives seriously.

As a result, Zhang Shun started the landfill project leisurely here, while "Old Huihui" and "Chuang Jiang" over there were crying father and mother everywhere.As a result, the defense officers and soldiers of the Huaiqing mansion were also poor, they did not dare to kill the bandits, but instead killed the people, and they were happy to kill them.For a while, I didn't know how many innocent people died. As a result, "Laohuihui" and "Chuangjiang" didn't make much progress.On the contrary, the biggest progress was that some corpses fell into the moat, which was actually more than filled with earth and rocks.

The two were so infamous and had to bear so many karma, but they didn't achieve the desired effect, and they couldn't help but feel a little downcast.As a result, when the four of them met, they discovered that Zhang Shun had made the most progress.After the three of them asked, they learned how to be obedient, and quickly dispatched soldiers to search around the door panels, tables and beds.It turned out that Zhang Shun had snatched him away, and he was so angry that he scolded Zhang Shenyan's "wife"!
Zhang Shen said that he was innocent and didn't mention the gun, the three had no choice but to search for wood in the distance, and stepped up to fill the moat again.The four of them surrounded the city for three or four days before they managed to fill in a passage on the moat.

At this time, Zhang Shun didn't care about the others, he pushed the cannon up and aimed at the gate of Huaiqing Mansion City, blasting the gate to pieces.However, this time, Zhang Shun learned his lesson and did not send a large number of troops to attack the city. He just photographed two or three warriors in heavy armor and sneaked up to observe. .

The "Zijinliang", "Old Huihui" and "Chuangjiang" are all cities that are used to breaking down at a whim, thinking that once the gates of Huaiqing Mansion are opened, it will be the same.Numb and careless for a while, he was shot by arrows and guns in the city, killing and wounding many thieves who deserved to die.

While the three of them were scolding their mothers one after another, an old man hurried back to Zhang Shun's camp.Although this old man is nearly sixty years old, he walks like a dragon and a tiger with extraordinary bearing.He rode fast for dozens of miles, but he was not out of breath. He just jumped off the horse and reported: "My lord, I went back to my hometown a while ago. I happened to meet folks from Meng County, and they asked me to tell you: Governor Fan Shangxiu of Henan has ordered A group of men and horses are crossing the river in Mengjin, ready to attack us."

It turned out that Huaiqing Mansion was an important feudal land. After the peasant army entered Huaiqing Mansion, Emperor Chongzhen was furious when he learned about it, and ordered Henan Governor Fan Shangxie to kill the thief and redeem himself.The governor of Henan Province, Fan Shangxiu, dared not delay, so he hurriedly gathered troops and horses, and killed the generals.
