please make me king

Chapter 1133 Wang Zhong
"Cross the river!" Commander Wang Zhong of Shanxi commanded vigorously with a wave of his hand.

The [-] soldiers under his command searched for the Yumen Ferry boats, and then boarded the boats one by one, and sailed to the west bank of the rolling Yellow River.

Yumen, also known as Longmen, is located in the northwest of Hejin County, Shanxi. According to legend, it was dug by Xia Yu. Later generations missed his merits, so it was called Yumen.

Like the Dragon Gate in Yiyu, Luoyang, Henan Province, that is, the Dragon Gate in the Longmen Grottoes, there is also a legend that Yu chiseled the Dragon Gate.

Not to mention the two legends, these two places are also important military sites.

Henan Yiyu is one of the eight passes in Luoyang and the southern gate of the land of Heluo.

And Hejin Yumen is the traffic artery connecting Hancheng in Shaanxi and Hejin in Shaanxi on the rolling Yellow River.

Materials such as coal from Hancheng went boating on the Yellow River from here, and then went westward against the Wei River into the territory of Xi'an Prefecture.

Food and other materials also flow down from the Wei River, then up the Yellow River, and are transported to Hancheng from there.

Therefore, after Sun Chuanting became the governor of Shanxi, he immediately dispatched people to control this place.

One is to prevent the rebels from taking the opportunity to advance eastward and invade Shanxi;
The second is to cut off the water traffic between Hancheng and Xi'an Prefecture, and carry out an "economic blockade" against the rebels.

"Wang Zongzhen, I wonder what is the secret of this method of crossing the river?" Sun Xiuzhi couldn't help asking a step forward as he watched the old soldier Wang Zhong easily commanding the brigade to cross the river.

"There is no one else, only hands and ears are familiar!" Wang Zhong grinned and said with a smile.

Boy, just because you ask, I will tell you my unique skills?

It turned out that Wang Zhong, the general of Shanxi, was not stupid. After Sun Chuanting, the new governor of Shanxi, took office, he made it clear that he would use his troops. How could he teach his own housekeeping skills after being told a few words of ecstasy by others?

Straight mother thief, Sun Xiuzhi couldn't help cursing secretly when he heard the words: Hey, you old man, you actually pretended to be a ghost in front of me!

When fighting across a river, you are most afraid of being hit by the enemy halfway across the river.

Therefore, as soon as the officers and soldiers crossed the river, they scattered the scouts far away to guard against the surprise attack of the rebel army.

Then, after the first wave of elites arrived on the other side, they established defensive strongholds as soon as possible to block possible enemies.

Then, the remaining officers and soldiers crossed the rolling Yellow River by boat according to the formation.

This time Shanxi General Soldier Wang Zhong led a battalion of [-] troops, all of which were hand-picked by Shanxi Governor Sun Chuanting.

"What should we do next?" Although Sun Xiuzhi was against Wang Zhong's pretentiousness, he also knew Sun Chuanting's difficulties, so he couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Soldiers are precious and fast. I have already sent scouts to investigate the enemy's situation. We just need to quickly go south to Hancheng!" Wang Zhong said with high spirits after hearing the words.

"Hancheng is fifty miles from here, which was originally a one-day journey for officers and soldiers. Now our subordinates are all elites, and the military situation is on fire. I will order all the soldiers not to rest, and I will go straight to Huanglong!"

"Okay!" Sun Xiuzhi couldn't help being quite excited when he heard this.

Facing the situation where the rebel army won consecutive battles and the momentum was like a rainbow, to be honest, even if the officers and soldiers could get back a small scene, it would be worth their excitement all night.

"However, the 'Shun Thief' is insidious and cunning. We should be careful!" Sun Xiuzhi reminded after thinking about it.

"'Shun thief'? 'Shun thief' must also be a person. He has no front and rear eyes. He cannot know five hundred years before and five hundred years behind!" Wang Zhong sneered.

"Although the 'Shun thief' has many tricks, he is still in Xi'an, and the others like Fatty Zhang are nothing more than dead bones in the grave!"

"That's right!" Sun Xiuzhi thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "What Wang Zongzhen said is true, but I was too worried!"

Not long after, all the officers and soldiers of the first battalion crossed the Yellow River, and Wang Zhong, the general soldier of Shanxi, took Sun Xiuzhi all the way down the Yellow River.

"This is the way to use troops. First make it invincible, and wait for the enemy to be victorious!" Along the way, Wang Zhong also knew that if he didn't teach Sun Xiuzhi something real, he might not be able to justify it. After repeated requests from Sun Xiuzhi, he shook his head and said .

"What do you mean by 'doing it first is invincible'? It is also called temple calculation, armament, supplies and marching!"

"Temple calculators, the affairs of the court are beyond our knowledge."

"Military equipment and luggage are based on daily work. The amount of food, the availability of military equipment, and the distribution of food, salaries, rewards and silver are all in accordance with regulations."

"Only the method of marching is very important. It should not be too dense. If it is too dense, it will not be able to be used. It should not be too loose. If it is too loose, the team will be too long and unable to deal with the enemy's surprise attack."

"Therefore, with the sentry as the unit, marching in columns in sections, we can form defensive formations at any time, and there will be no chaos that affects the entire army..."

One of them talked and the other listened. Before they knew it, the red sun was crumbling to the west.

"General, the soldiers marched for a day, hungry and tired, please camp to rest!" A soldier had already stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"Didn't the general tell you that you must rush to the foot of Hancheng tonight, so why invite me again?" Wang Zhongzheng let go of his bragging, feeling that he couldn't hold back, and couldn't help scolding with a cold face.

"But...but the officers and soldiers have been walking up and down for a day, and now even if they arrive at Hancheng, they are still powerless to fight the bandits..." The soldier hesitated and said.

"How dare you argue!" Wang Zhong yelled loudly, "Leading the army in battle, this general's matter, how can you, an unknown person, speak nonsense?"

"Come here, drag me aside, I will be responsible twenty..."

"General, calm down, he's just..." Sun Xiuzhi looked at him, fearing that he might miss his schedule, so he couldn't help but comfort him.

"Forty heavy responsibilities, there must be no mistakes!" Wang Zhong immediately changed his words when he heard Sun Xiuzhi's words.

Nima, how could Sun Xiuzhi not know that this fellow was demonstrating against him.

Originally it was fine if he didn't say a word, but after a few words of consolation, he punished him twice, it's really unreasonable!

A soldier had already stepped forward and dragged the man down, and he was punished with a staff of one hundred and fifty.

Only then did Wang Zhong hypocritically say: "General Sun Shen, don't be merciful and soft-hearted, kindness does not command soldiers!"

"Don't you hear that in ancient times, those who were good at using soldiers could kill half of the soldiers, then thirteen of them, and then eleven of them."

"Although today's loyalty is not as good as the famous generals of the past, it is only natural to kill one or two soldiers who refuse to follow orders!"

Sun Xiuzhi's face turned pale and red after being robbed like this, and he was speechless for a while.

"Report~General, there is a large group of routs ahead, please make a decision as soon as possible!" Wang Zhong just finished speaking, unexpectedly, a soldier shouted from afar.

"Falling the army? Quickly set up a defensive formation for me!" Wang Zhong was stunned when he heard this.

"What... what's wrong, Mr. Wang?" Sun Xiuzhi asked hastily, ignoring the personal grievances between the two.

"This...that's not right! If the thieves were defeated, they should have rushed to Tongzhou, why did they come to the north?" Wang Zhong couldn't help explaining when he heard the words.

"Mo... Could it be that those rebels were defeated by the thieves?" Sun Xiuzhi couldn't help guessing.

"How is this possible? Isn't Fatty Zhang just a battalion? How can he be so capable?" Wang Zhong didn't dare to answer.
