please make me king

Chapter 1162 Hussar General
"My minister Li Zicheng, I have met His Royal Highness King Shun!" Seeing that Zhang Shun was writing and drawing in the Cunxin Palace, Li Zicheng, who had just been introduced by the servant, hurried forward to pay homage.

"Oh? My hussar general is here!" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing.

Li Zicheng's word is Zao'er, and the small character is Huang Lai'er, and he called it like a child, Zhang Shun couldn't open his mouth, so he had to make a joke, which was also a sign of intimacy.

"King Shun and Shun really treated his ministers too well, making them ashamed!" Li Zicheng couldn't help but bowed and blushed.

Originally, he wanted to maintain some integrity, but King Shun was too generous, so he couldn't help but slump down and soften his body.

Zhang Shun was really good at writing. He came up to the Jin Dynasty and appointed a hussar general who was still above the four expeditions and four towns. It was hard for Li Zicheng not to believe that he would fulfill the promise of the prince.

"Hey, you deserve it!" Zhang Shun raised his hand to signal, "Sit down!"

"Chen, don't dare!" Li Zicheng was startled, and waved his hands quickly.

"Dare you dare? They are all my brothers. Are there any outsiders? Why are you being polite?" Zhang Shun waved his hands impatiently.

"Then ask King Shun to forgive me!" Li Zicheng muttered for a while, then sat down obliquely.

"This time I invited you here, I think you must have guessed a lot!" Zhang Shun said seriously.

"Originally, the king planned to operate in Shaanxi for a while, and he will make a statement after the foundation is solid."

"It's just that now it seems that Daming can't survive because of his own crimes. I am worried that they won't be able to sustain Houjin's attack, so I have to make plans early."

"Then King Shun is planning to send troops in the spring?" Li Zicheng pondered for a while, and couldn't help guessing.

"It's not that early!" Zhang Shun shook his head and said, "Liaoze is frozen in early spring, which is good for future gold exchanges, so I won't do it."

It turns out that in the late Ming Dynasty, the Lower Liaohe Plain was a swamp, lying between Shenyang, Liaoyang and Guangningwei.

If Hou Jin wanted to contact Mongolia, he had to detour to the coastal area south of Liaoze, and then go to Guangning to contact.

If after the spring blooms, Liaoze will be covered with oceans, which is not conducive to the use of soldiers by Houjin.

"Then...what does King Shun mean?" Li Zicheng couldn't help asking tentatively.

"The past two years have been bad, and the autumn seedlings have withered, so spring needs to make up for it. After the busy farming season, it's time to use the army!" Zhang Shun said with a smile.

"Probably around March!"

Zhang Shun's calculation is so precise, but he winked at the blind man.

Li Zicheng in this era had never been in charge of the government himself, and he didn't have a deep understanding of the timing of using troops, and he couldn't understand the deep meaning.

He couldn't help asking again: "I don't know how King Shun intends to conquer?"

"I intend to divide the troops into three groups. I will lead the main force to go to Pingyang and Fenyang to conquer Taiyuan."

"And you will lead [-] people from the North Road, cross the Yellow River, go to Baode, break through Piantou, Ningwu, and Yanmen, and then join me in attacking Datong and Xuanfu, and enter the capital of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Fifty thousand people?" Li Zicheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly expressed his opinion.

"[-] to [-] people are enough, how can we need so many people?"

Of course he knew that his reputation in the rebel army was second only to Zhang Shun, and because of this, he had to hide his strength and bide his time to avoid being jealous.

"Twenty to thirty thousand is enough?" Zhang Shun asked in a daze when he heard the words.

"Could it be that General Hussars only needs [-] to [-] horses to overcome three passes and deter all the tribes north of the side wall?"

"Uh... really can't!" Hearing what Zhang Shun said, Li Zicheng understood what was going on with his North Route Army.

It turns out that the route taken by Mr. Beilu is basically the side wall of the Ming Dynasty, so although there are few cities to conquer, they are all important border towns such as Piantou Pass, Ningwu Pass, and Yanmen Pass.

In addition to overcoming difficulties, it also has the function of monitoring and deterring the Mongolian tribes, and protecting the safety of the main flank led by Zhang Shun.

"Then... how many troops does King Shun plan to lead?" Li Zicheng hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking.

"This king leads one hundred thousand troops to attack Huanglong!" Zhang Shun said with a smile.

Okay, now feel relieved!

Wait, where did King Shun get so many soldiers all of a sudden?
"Now the rebel army's strength is tight, that's what I plan to do." I heard Zhang Shun say again.

"You have [-] troops under your command now, and I intend to separate out [-] troops to be led by your nephew Li Guo and Lieutenant General Liu Zongmin."

"Then allocate thirteen battalions under your command, and one division of Hongyi Cannon, including thirty 'General Qingtian Cannons' and twenty 'Fei Biao Guns', which are used for full-time siege."

"I'm going to let Zhang Bojing be responsible for the other mules, horses, livestock, food, supplies, and the recruitment of hard-working men. What do you think?"

"His Royal Highness King Shun!" Li Zicheng couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words, he hurriedly left his seat, fell to the ground, and choked up.

"Zicheng has received such great love from King Shun, how dare he die?"

"Please rest assured, King Shun, as long as there is Zicheng, the army will surely destroy it and break through the important border town of Daming in one fell swoop!"

"Okay, I did not misread you!" Zhang Shun quickly helped him up, patted him on the shoulder and said.

This is a famous person in history, using him to deal with the waste of the Daming border is completely "killing a chicken with a bull's knife"!
But remembering that this guy was defeated by "a piece of stone" in history, Zhang Shun couldn't help but exhorted: "We are the right soldiers in this battle, and you are the strange soldiers!"

"When the time comes, fires will break out everywhere in the interior, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely call in the frontier troops to support them. When the time comes, you can fight out from Yansui, and you will definitely be able to make great achievements in one fell swoop."

"It's just that after success, you must not be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat, and show Lao Tzu a serious view of the Tartars outside the wall!"

"Don't let us fight with the main force of Ming Dynasty and let a group of Tartars take advantage of it!"

"King Shun!" Li Zicheng didn't know what to say when he heard the words, he almost wanted to kneel down and shout "Mud is like Erda"!
What is a Raider?

Raiders are also known as "pickers", hard-core cronies!
Others have attracted the main force of the enemy as regular soldiers, so as long as the rare soldiers are willing to work hard, they will generally be peerless achievements under no accidental circumstances.

But if the surprise soldiers can't come at the critical moment, then the fun will be great.

Therefore, the teams that are generally used to act as surprise soldiers are the most trusted by the coach, and at the same time lead the most elite soldiers. How can Li Zicheng not be grateful?

Zhang Shun saw that the fire was almost ready, so he said with a smile: "The deputy commander and military adviser have not yet decided on a candidate, so please don't worry."

"For the [-] troops, in addition to the [-] shi that you and Zhang Bojing took out from the Yansui gentry and big family, I will order Yan'an prefect Ding Qirui and Wei Zhiyou to bring in another [-] shi in the name of disaster relief." .”

"By the way, the grievance between you and Wei Zhiyou, let him go after it's over, don't mention it again!" Zhang Shun suddenly remembered this matter, and couldn't help mentioning it again.

It turned out that Wei Zhiyou was Li Zicheng's general at the beginning, and when he passed through Song County, he took the opportunity to join He Fu, the magistrate of Song County.

As a result, when Li Zicheng attacked Song County later, he suffered a lot at his hands, so he ended up with Liang Zicheng.

Later, Wei Zhiyou took refuge in Zhang Shun, and the two barely met each other, so it was fine.

It's just that Li Zicheng, the "General Manager" happened to go to Yan'an recently to "catch people". How could he not see Wei Zhiyou, who was then the general soldier in Yan'an?

Looking up and not seeing each other, the two of them got together with new and old grudges, causing a lot of conflicts.

"Where...how can it be!" Li Zicheng was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, but now he was in high spirits, so he couldn't help but assure him.

"Now that Wei Zhiyou is a member of King Shun, if you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, how can Zicheng have the same knowledge as him?"

"Don't worry, King Shun, if you see Wei Zhiyou in the future, I will definitely stay away!"
