please make me king

Chapter 1130 The Enemy in the Darkness

"'Huan Dian Soldier', I heard that 'Living Cao Cao' Luo Rucai was killed, 'Crafting General' Li Zicheng', 'Huntian Star' Zhang Tianlin and others all voted for King Shun, what's the point of us continuing?" The big man with a fierce face frowned and asked.

"'Zao Ying', are you intimidated?" "Random Soldier" sneered, "They are afraid of King Shun, but I am not!"

"Before King Shun came, we couldn't live a good life. After King Shun came, will our life be better?"

"That...well, I heard that King Shun sent generals to rescue the disaster in Yan'an, and it has been quite effective. Recently, we have been unable to recruit people in Luochuan, Yichuan and other counties..." "Soap Eagle" with sharp eyes like eagles , Hearing this, his eyes couldn't help dimming.

"There are tens of thousands of hungry people in the world, one less than him is quite a few, and there is not much more than one more. Yan'an can't recruit people. Isn't there Hancheng, Heyang, Baishui and other places?"

"Who is he, Zhang Shun? You must know that when Wang Zuohang rebelled in Baishui, maybe he was still wearing crotch pants!"

"When it comes to qualifications, Wang Jiayin has to step back a little bit, let alone Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and others."

"Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Tianlin and others are not even ranked high. What is King Shun?"

It turned out that one of these two men was from Heyang, called Dang Shousu, nicknamed "Luan Dian Bing";

The two started their troops early and returned early, but they didn't leave Shaanxi like Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and others to develop elsewhere.

As a result, it was suppressed by the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and failed to develop.

However, if there is an advantage, there must be a disadvantage, and if there is a disadvantage, there is also an advantage.

Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and other rebels left Shaanxi, and although they made great progress, they lived in no fixed place and were precarious.

However, Dang Shousu and Zhang Rukui were stranded in Shaanxi. Although they didn't get any opportunities for development, they established a stronghold in the local mountains.

The place where they are currently is called Shendao Ridge, which is located [-] miles north of Hancheng, bordering Yichuan on the north, and not far from Luochuan on the west, which can be called the "three no matter" boundary.

The two set up a stronghold in the Shendao Ridge, called the Shendao Ridge, with five or seven hundred men, all of whom were elite remnants of the original rebel army.

This place is located in the midst of high mountains and the terrain is dangerous. Not only can it go north to Yan'an, south to Guanzhong and other places, it is also close to the Yellow River Yumen Ferry, and it can cross the river to enter Shanxi at any time, which is exactly the geographical advantage in the art of war.

Originally, in addition to the favorable location, the cottage lacked food and clothing, and life was very difficult.

Even leaders like Dang Shousu and Zhang Rukui had to lead a team to hunt some birds in the mountains and pick some walnuts and wild fruits in the mountains to make a living.

As a result, I never thought that recently, the mine owners and gentry who were originally hostile to them have actually started to collude with them in private, inviting them to attack and plunder nearby villages and towns.

Some people even claimed to be officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and privately smuggled some firearms, gunpowder and other weapons with him. No wonder that Dang Shousu had so much ambition.

"Report the letter from the Yellow Mine Master's envoy!" The two were talking by the fire, and spies had already come to report.

"Submit it!" Dang Shousu ordered after hearing the words.

Not long after, the soldiers handed over the letter, Dang Shousu glanced at it hastily, and handed it to Zhang Rukui.

"Attack Baima Beach?" Zhang Rukui asked in surprise.

"That's right!" Dang Shousu nodded and said, "It seems that the opportunity has come!"

"This is going to put the two of us on the stove!" Zhang Rukui couldn't help but panicked.

"I don't want the child to be tied to the wolf!" Dang Shousu sneered, "They want to kill King Shun's prestige, so naturally we need us."

"This time, [-] mine owners joined forces and entrusted me as the master, just for this encounter!"

"This is not easy!" Although Zhang Rukui was fierce, he was not a fool.

"If they do what they wish and offend King Shun, is there still room for us in Shaanxi?"

"What are you afraid of? Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shanxi, has promised that if we can turn upside down Shaanxi prefectures and counties, we will set aside Xiangning County and let us settle down!" Dang Shousu couldn't help but confidently said.

Xiangning County is located along the Yellow River in Shanxi, across the river from Yichuan and Hancheng in Shaanxi.

In terms of convenience, it must be in the south of Xiangning County. Hejin County, which governs Longmendu, is more suitable for Dang Shousu and Zhang Rukui to settle down.

It’s just that Hejin County is located at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Fen River, and also has Longmendu, so its strategic location is extremely important;

Secondly, the terrain of Hejin County is relatively flat, which is not conducive to the hiding of Dang Shousu, Zhang Rukui and others.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Sun Chuanting promised Xiangning County to these two people, "treat thieves with thieves", and use them as a base to harass the rebels.

"What do you think this dog is thinking, why does he have to win us over so well?" Zhang Rukui couldn't help but wondered after hearing Dang Shousu's words.

"What else can it be? You can't beat King Shun!" Dang Shousu said disdainfully.

"Brother, you know what you're thinking, don't worry!"

"Dang is such a good man, can he still be a dog for his grandson?"

"Now we're called being cowardly, we're called using each other."

"That grandson uses us, and we use him too. When we grow stronger, we will cut off his dog's head and seize his Shanxi, and we will also make a local emperor!"

"Good, good, so good!" Zhang Rukui couldn't help stroking his palms, "So you sit on the first emperor, and I sit on the second emperor, wouldn't you be happy!"

"Hey, it's better for you to be the first emperor, and I'll be the second emperor. Although brother Yu is a few years older, he is not as knowledgeable as brother virtuous!" Dang Shousu said humbly upon hearing this.

"Oh, how can you be so polite, brother?" Zhang Rukui didn't dare to compare himself with him, and quickly evaded, "As the saying goes, if you do your part, don't be polite, brother!"

The two shied away repeatedly, and then Dang Shousu suggested: "Since that's the case, it's better than this."

"You and I are two brothers, no matter how big or small, we will be happy together, what do you think of being a big man with two ends?"

"This brother, it's better to be respectful than obedient!" Seeing that Zhang Rukui couldn't evade it, he couldn't help but reluctantly complied.

The two of them discussed it and decided that they would rectify their troops early the next morning and lead the seven hundred elites along the mountain road all the way to Baima Beach.

Fifty miles away from Shendao Ridge Village, Baima Beach is an ancient horse grazing land, named for its prolific production of white horses.

This Baima Mountain is located at the foot of Guan Mountain, and it is also the source of the muddy water.

This Lishui is also called "Ligushui", also known as Lishui River, which is the flow of the Yellow River flowing through Hancheng.

If Dang Shousu and Zhang Rukui occupy this place, they can go down the river and go straight to Hancheng County, so its geographical location is very important.
