please make me king

Chapter 1288 Attacking it will save you

It is said that since the general Tang Tong left, Zhu Xieyuan, Zhang Fengyi and Ye Tinggui waited on him with food and drink every day, but I beg Gao Qiqian not to rush to send troops.

That Gao Qiqian is not a fool, he saw that they "fear thieves like tigers", he knew there must be a reason, so he turned a blind eye to it for the time being, wait and see for a while before making any calculations.

On this day, Gao Qiqian was full of wine and food, and seeing that it was still early, he led more than ten followers to wander around Taiyuan City.

Not long after, Gao Qiqian walked near the Drum Tower, and saw a group of people chaotically surrounding the front, yelling, and couldn't help being surprised, so he asked his followers to go and see what was going on.

The attendant went over to ask, and then returned to Huihui to report: "The excerpt of "Zhang Shun Robber's Wife" is being sung in front, so it is so lively."

"Ah?" Gao Qiqian was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said, "Let's go and have a look!"

He remembered that Zhu Xieyuan and others invited him to watch the play a few days ago, but it was a vulgar play, basically selling "three vulgarities".

If his expectations are correct, there are a lot of pornographic scenes in the middle, and it should be played in the middle of the night after driving away the women and children.

Now in broad daylight, what's the point of this play?
With the help of Gao Qi's potential attendants, he squeezed away the crowd and looked inside, only to see a woman in a costume, kneeling under the hall and singing: "King Shun sits high in the Ming hall, who knows the wind and frost in the world!"

"The little girl is originally a daughter of the Nan family, and Yan'an Mansion is my hometown. My father and brother are also bachelors of literature, and their poems and books are well-known."

"Unexpectedly, there were disasters four years ago, and thieves came into my hometown. My father and brother were killed for refusing to be thieves, and my sisters were humiliated and lost their lives."

"Leave the Nan family alone, left and right clumsy in the thief's lair. Fortunately, I heard that King Shun has arrived, so I will clearly explain my injustice..."

"What is this!" Gao Qiqian asked unhappily after listening for a while, frowning.

No, this plot is absolutely wrong.

Although Gao Qiqian had only listened to two folds before, and did not listen to the end of the play "Zhang Shun Robber's Wife", he still has a general understanding of the plot.

Not to mention that the heroine has been changed from the Xing family to the Nan family, but seeing that this drama was born for the black "Shun thief" from the beginning to the end, I know that it is impossible to have the wonderful work of "Zhang Shun settles the case and the Nan family redresses his grievances" plot.

Gao Qi concentrated his mind on it, but his face remained calm, and he directly ordered: "Call the class leader, I have something to ask!"

Left and right quickly took orders and brought back one person in a short while.

The man was in his forties or fifties, judging from his demeanor, he seemed to be an actor.

The head of the troupe hurried forward to meet him, Gao Qiqian then asked: "What kind of play is this, what's the point of eyesight?"

"This is "Zhang Shun's Stealing Wife", which is a new song." The class leader said with a smile, "If the master likes it, you can also go to the house to perform it in two days..."

"Nonsense!" Before the troupe leader finished speaking, Gao Qiqian scolded, "If I have never heard this play before, how dare you change the lyrics?"

"Master misunderstood!" The class leader was startled when he heard the words, and quickly explained.

"You said it was an old song, but this is a new song. After the new song came out, it became very popular, far surpassing the old song."

"So the opera troupes have sung this song to please their parents..."

"This..." Gao Qiqian was taken aback when he heard the words, never expecting such a change.

"Is there a script for me to watch?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The class leader wiped off his cold sweat when he heard the words, and hurriedly replied, and not long after, he presented the script.

Gao Qiqian picked it up and took a quick look, and sure enough, the plot has changed a lot.

The theme of the new song has changed from the original black "shun thief" to the praise of "shun thief".

Among them, the ups and downs, the ups and downs of the plot, compared with the original rather plain "love case", the new track is obviously more attractive to the audience.

"Let's go!" Gao Qiqian said after pondering for a moment, then flicked his cloak.

"Then...then where are we going?"

"Go back and meet Zhu Xieyuan, Governor of the Left, and Zhang Fengyi, Governor of Xuanda!" Gao Qiqian couldn't help sneering.

Gao Qiqian, as a member of the civil servants, generals, and eunuchs of the Ming army, certainly did not forget his duties.

He was polite to Zhu Xieyuan and others before, and even tolerated their persistence in Taiyuan, all based on the possibility of bringing greater victories.

It's just that now that he watched the new "Zhang Shun Robber's Wife", he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

The Ming army's attack failed, and he was of course responsible for Gao Qiqian.

If the Ming army besieged Taiyuan City, once it was broken by the rebels, it would not only be a matter of taking responsibility for him, but he might even lose trust in the heart of the "grandfather".

No, things can't go on like this.

Anyway, Zhu Xieyuan must give himself a letter!
And when Gao Qiqian was about to look for Zhu Xieyuan, he definitely did not expect that Zhu Xieyuan, Zhang Fengyi and Ye Tinggui were gathering together now.

"Is the news reliable?" Zuo Governor Zhu Xieyuan frowned and asked while looking at the letter in his hand.

"This matter is absolutely true!" Xuanda Governor Zhang Fengyi smiled wryly.

"That Lu Youzhu, Ke Lan's military guard, is a steady man who has served as a military guard for many years. He never dares to lie about important military matters!"

It turned out that the news from the Northern Route Army of the Rebel Army finally broke through the obstruction of Li Shukong and others, and was finally delivered to Taiyuan City.

After receiving the news, Zhang Fengyi, governor of Xuanda, quickly sought out Zhu Xieyuan and Ye Tinggui to discuss the matter.

It's just that Zhu Xieyuan thought about it, but he couldn't figure out how the rebel army had so many horses, so he was skeptical about it.

"I have an idea, I don't know if it's right, let the two of you share it!" Ye Tinggui frowned and said with some bad guesses.

"The 'Shun Bandits' are fighting sharply, and West Pianguan, Baode, Yongning, and Fenzhou are all under attack. Can we think so, in fact, this is a premeditated and planned large-scale attack by the enemy?"

"You mean..." Zhang Fengyi hesitated for a moment, and his expression changed drastically.

"That's right, I suspect that we have fallen into other people's schemes from beginning to end!" Ye Tinggui smiled wryly.

"Now that the picture is poor, we can barely revisit the plan of 'Shun Thief'."

"In the first step, the thieves took the lead in attacking Kaifeng, Huaiqing Mansion and other places. They were all the way to attract officers and soldiers to go south."

"In the second step, the main force of the thieves aggressively attacked Pingyang Mansion, which is another way, specifically threatening Taiyuan City."

"The third step is that the thieves suddenly marched eastward, completely destroying the officers and soldiers of Shanxi when we couldn't move, and taking all the land of Shanxi..."

"This...how is this possible!" Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help but said in shock, "He...how did he get so many soldiers?"

"Based on my calculations, the 'Shun Bandit' has no more than [-] to [-] troops, and the three borders and four towns in Shaanxi have no more than [-] troops."

"Even if they are all used by 'Shun Bandits', their total number of troops is only between [-]."

"If you stay in various places for defense, you can only mobilize a hundred thousand."

"If, according to Ye Fujun's opinion, 'following the thief' advances in three directions, how can it be possible to make such rapid progress everywhere?"

"The matter has come to this point, what's the point of talking more?" Ye Tinggui actually didn't understand the problem, so he could only ask back with a wry smile.

"Could it be... Could it be that the 'Shun Thief' is bluffing me, in fact, there are [-] people in each of the north and south roads, and the 'Shun Bandit' has only [-]?" Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help guessing.

"Junmen's words are reasonable!" Zhang Fengyi nodded when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Since it is impossible for the "Shun Thieves" to have so many soldiers and horses, it must be that there is both fiction and reality, and fiction and reality coexist.

Since it is impossible for the "Shun Bandit" to make great progress on the South and North Roads, the problem must lie with the Central Army led by the "Shun Bandit".

"Has the Hongyi Cannon arrived?" Thinking of this, Zhu Xieyuan stopped analyzing, instead changed the subject, and asked Xuanda Governor Zhang Fengyi.

"In the past few days, Xuanda and the two towns have dispatched another forty artillery pieces, but they were only harassed by thieves, and now there are only thirty pieces..."

Zhang Fengyi hadn't finished speaking when he saw a soldier rushing in, and immediately stopped talking.

"What's the matter?" Seeing this, Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help asking.

"Supervisor, Junmen, Fujun, Director Gao Qiqian is here to invite you!" The soldier couldn't help but hastily replied.

Oh?coming!

The three couldn't help but glanced at each other, knowing that they might not be able to hide this time, but this time, they didn't want to hide anymore!
Whether it's a mule or a horse, it's time to take it out for a walk.
