please make me king

Chapter 1169
"Zhengzhou is in danger! Zhengzhou is in danger!" Chen Yongfu cried to the governor of Henan, Wu Sheng, after the messenger who came down from the city wall rushed to Kaifeng mansion.

"The thieves lined up sixty Hongyi cannons outside the city of Zhengzhou. The shells rained down, and the city wall of Zhengzhou was so full of holes that it was almost crumbling!"

"My lord, please send troops immediately to save the people in Hecheng, Zhengzhou!"

"Sixty gates?" Henan governor Wu Yan was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked.

"Is this number true? If it is wrong, it is a crime of beheading!"

"My lord, everyone in Zhengzhou City knows this number, and they have counted them one by one!" The messenger swears after hearing the words.

"If it is false, let me die under the guns of the thieves, and my body will be smashed to pieces, and I will not be completely dead!"

"This..." Wu Xuan gave Hu Dawei, Zuo Liangyu and Zu Kuan a hesitant look before ordering.

"Go down and rest, and I will make a decision after we discuss it!"

"My lord!" The messenger became anxious when he heard the words, and shouted quickly.

"If you continue to discuss and discuss, I am afraid that the city wall of Zhengzhou has been razed to the ground by the thieves, how can we save it again!"

"Bastard, I want you to teach me how to do things!" Henan governor Wu Sheng was furious and couldn't help shouting.

"For the sake of your risking your life to deliver the letter, let me spare you once. If you commit the crime again, you will be beaten to death with a stick!"

"Come here, drag him out for me, lest he make noise here!"

"My lord, you can't do this, the people all over the city are waiting for you... woo woo..." The courier gave a glimmer of hope, but he was dragged out, stuffed with rags, and couldn't shout anything.

"Let's talk about it, what should we do about this?" Wu Yan sat there and asked.

"Uh..." Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to say.

Only Hu Dawei is the direct descendant of Wu Tong, so he couldn't help but hastily said: "Zhengzhou City is at stake, we still have to save it, but..."

"Just what?" Wu Chen nodded and asked.

"It's just that the thieves are powerful, and there are so many Hongyi cannons, I'm afraid they won't be able to do what they want!" Hu Dawei said hastily.

"En!" Wu Yan was very satisfied when he heard the words, but he made a conclusion first.

"If you can't do what you want, do what you can!"

"Zu Kuan, tomorrow you will lead the Jingqi under your command to go ahead and rush to the city of Zhengzhou, and shoot letters in the city."

"You just said that the army of officers and soldiers will arrive in a few days, and please don't panic the defenders in the city!"

"Yes, the last general takes orders!" Zu Kuan wanted to say, although he was full of hesitation.

However, the defeated general is not brave enough to speak, and now his fine cavalry is half lost, so how can he have the capital to be rebellious?

Seeing that Zu Kuan was downcast, the governor of Henan, Wu Xin, couldn't bear it, and he couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't worry, general, I will not only lead an army to fight for you, but also write a letter to the imperial court to invite reinforcements, so that the 'shun bandits' will never come back." !"

Before Zu Kuan could answer, Zuo Liangyu heard it harshly, and couldn't help emphasizing: "Fu Jun, this time it's not 'Shun Bandit', but Cao Bandit."

"Cao of Cao Wenzhao, Cao turned into Jiao's thief!"

Wu Xuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he realized that the opponent in front of him was not a "shun thief" with a reputation for viciousness, and he was relieved.

"Well, I'll write a letter to Eunuch Lu in a while, asking him to help defend Yancheng. I'll call Mengruhu back, so that I can almost fight!"

In fact, there are also [-] troops in the Runing Mansion, including Luo Ju, Ma Yun, Xuzhou's deputy generals, and Lu Jiude, the eunuch.

It's just that one of these [-] troops is under the command of Zhu Dadian, the Governor of Water Transport and Governor of Fengyang, and the other is guarding the Chongfan. Which one dares to move?

Last time, the "Shun Thieves" defeated Chong Fan and Tang Fan successively, killed Chong Wang, expelled Tang Wang, and kidnapped the princess and princess, causing a great earthquake in the world.

Fortunately, the former governor of Henan, Fu Zonglong, died quickly, otherwise it would not be a pity to cut him into pieces.

Now give the new governor of Henan Province Wu Zhen two courages, and he dare not move lightly.

Once Zhou Fan and Chong Fan made mistakes, it would be lucky for him, Wu Zhen, to end up like Fu Zonglong!
It is said that Wu Wei had already written Shudu, and it was rushed three hundred miles away, and it took only four days to deliver it to Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian was taken aback when he saw Shudu, and hurriedly called Yang Sichang, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhu Xieyuan, Governor of Baoding, who had not yet had time to take office, to discuss.

Then Zhu Xieyuan saw Wu Tong's carelessness, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and lost his voice: "The big thing is not good, the thieves are going to attack on a large scale!"

"How do you say that?" Zhu Youjian was also taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but look at Yang Sichang in blank dismay.

"Your Majesty, look here!" Zhu Xieyuan quickly pointed to the contents of Shudu.

"The thieves carried sixty Hongyi cannons and bombarded Zhengzhou city day and night!"

"In the past, when we fought against thieves, tens of thousands were not a problem. How can we see so many cannons?"

"It must have been accumulated by the thieves for a long time, specifically to destroy my city!"

"Then where does Young Master Zhu think the thieves are going to attack this time?" Zhu Youjian couldn't help asking.

It is not uncommon to judge that the "thief" is going to attack aggressively. According to reports from Jinyiwei, there are indeed some signs of frequent changes in Shaanxi recently, but it is very important to judge where the thief is going to attack.

Daming is no longer the same as before, and he no longer has so many soldiers and horses at hand.

Only by judging the real intention of the thief can the main force be mobilized in advance for defense.

"This..." Zhu Xieyuan was suddenly uncertain about the target of the rebel army, and he couldn't help hesitating a bit.

Seeing this, Yang Sichang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, couldn't help laughing and said, "In my opinion, this matter couldn't be more obvious."

"The thieves can only plunder, but they don't know how to govern the place. Presumably, after the occupation of Shaanxi, the food was looted, and natural disasters were frequent, so they had to go east to eat."

"This is a plan for the bandits to seize eastern Henan and other places, and even plan to cut off the water transportation and seize grain!"

"In this case, Master Lao Zhu and the Governor of Water Transport Zhu Dadian have to rectify the troops and go to resist!"

"No, no!" Yang Sichang had just finished speaking, and Zhu Xieyuan suddenly said before Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian expressed his stance.

"If the thieves want to seize Yudong and Caoliang, there is absolutely no reason for the main force to come out of Sishui, so they must make a feint!"

"This... I don't know what Master Zhu has to say?" Yang Sichang said unhappily.

"If I were asked to plan this battle, I could have sent a partial division out of Sishui first to mobilize the main force of the officers and soldiers, and then make a large-scale attack according to the situation."

"If Zhengzhou and Kaifeng are conquered, the main force will go out of the Sishui and head east."

"If Zhengzhou and Kaifeng fail, I can go to Yuzhou and Xuzhou, break through Linying and Yancheng, and then go down the Ying River and Huai River, heading straight to Fengyang."

"This..." Zhu Youjian and Yang Sichang's expressions changed drastically.

"Of course, it's nothing!" Zhu Xieyuan sneered, and the next sentence was earth-shattering, "The most important thing is, if I can take advantage of the empty forces of the imperial court, I can surprise Shanxi."

"One step in Shanxi will break the waist of the world. At that time, although Beizhi, Henan, Shandong and Nanzhi are rich, what can they do?"

"It's not about being slaughtered by others, it will be swallowed by me sooner or later!"
