please make me king

Chapter 1326 Changes
"Big fanfare?" Zhang Shun subconsciously muttered while looking at the letter in his hand.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong with this?" Xu Ziyuan couldn't help but wonder.

"What's wrong? It's right! It's very right!" Zhang Shun shook his head and said, "It's just that the joints are intricate and complicated, and this king is not sure about the changes."

To be honest, Song Xiance's method of directly creating established facts is very clever.

Originally, according to Zhang Shun's plan, the besieged [-] people of Azig's troops were used as bait to force Hong Tai to fight a decisive battle with the rebels in a passive strategic situation.

However, the biggest loophole of this plan is that Zhu Xieyuan's [-] Ming army occupied Yu County.

If the [-] Ming troops withdrew from Yu County, or joined forces with Hou Jin, then Zhang Shun's plan would be defeated.

So Zhang Shun ordered in time to mobilize Cao Wenzhao's department to occupy Pingding Prefecture in the southeast of Yu County, just in case.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Wang Qingzhi's appearance completely disrupted Zhang Shun's deployment.

Then Zhu Xieyuan and Zhang Fengyi died, and Ye Tinggui led [-] Ming troops including Wang Shiren, Li Guoliang and Yang Guozhu to surrender.

However, due to the suddenness of the incident this time, Zhang Shun had a sudden whim. In fact, his plan to recruit and surrender was very rough and immature, and it was very likely to fail.

Fortunately, Song Xiance checked the gaps and made up for the omissions, so he quickly took down Datong Town, one of the two towns.

Of course, at this time, Zhang Shun hadn't received information about Ye Tinggui's "capture" of Datong Town, but based on the current deployment of both sides and the current situation, he could easily come to the conclusion that "Xuanfu Town is the key".

However, just as Zhang Shun realized that "Xuanfu Town is the key", he also found himself in an unfavorable situation.

If the rebel army followed the original plan, taking Datong in the north as a defensive node, and then "giving up" the Xuanfu to Houjin, then Hong Taihui would have found a foothold in the pass.

In this way, when the rebel army solved the Azig tribe outside Taiyuan City, then Hou Jin should have already occupied Xuanfu City.

If this situation occurs, it means that the advantage obtained by the rebel army by besieging the Azig tribe will be gone.

On the contrary, because the Xuanfu is the gateway of the capital, there may be a situation where the later Jin Daming and the Ming Dynasty join hands to resist the attack of the rebels.

"Who is Zhang Weishi? Who is Wang Kun?" Zhang Shun pondered for a while, undecided, and couldn't help but turned to ask Gao Qiqian who had been silent for a long time.

"Zhang Weishi is mediocre; Wang Kun is another mediocre!" Gao Qiqian was taken aback when he heard the words, and saluted involuntarily.

"In normal seasons, Zhang Weishi would be considered talented. He has successively served as the magistrate of Pingyang, the inspector of Shanxi, and the right to participate in politics. However, he is not very proficient in using soldiers, so he is not afraid of him."

"Although Wang Kun was adopted by Emperor Ming as the minister of the humerus, he was actually loyal and willing to be his eyes and ears. There is nothing surprising about it!"

"Compared to Ye Tinggui, how is it?" Zhang Shun frowned and couldn't help asking again.

"It's not as good as Ye Tinggui!" Gao Qiqian shook his head and said.

"This..." Zhang Shun was dumbfounded when he heard the words, and couldn't help but secretly cursed: These two scammers!
Originally, he had hoped that these two men could contain Mrs. Hong for a while, and when the rebel army wiped out Azig's tribe, he would personally lead the army to rescue them.

I never thought that these two people could be regarded as qualified in terms of political talents; in terms of marginal talents, these two people are actually mediocre.

That being the case, if the two evils are the lesser, we can only win the Azig Department first with tears in our eyes.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but make a decisive decision: "Show the whole army, not tomorrow, but tonight, use the 'General Qingtian Cannon' to bombard the Houjin camp."

"Tomorrow morning, attack Azig's troops fiercely, and try to wipe out all his soldiers and horses in one to three days. There must be no mistakes!"

"Yes" the generals subconsciously responded when they heard the words, and then realized what Zhang Shun meant.

"King Shun, although the Azige tribe has suffered occasional setbacks, its strength is still there. Why don't you wait a few days until its water is dry and its food is exhausted, before it is too late to cut down?" Everyone couldn't help admonishing.

This was Zhang Shun's own plan at the beginning, and it was with great difficulty that he persuaded the generals. He never thought that today he would break his promise first.

"Times change, things change!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun said decisively, "Now that the fighter plane has appeared, follow my orders and make no mistakes!"

"This..." Everyone looked at each other when they heard the words, but it was Zhaode General Zhang Fengyi who smiled and said, "Since King Shun ordered the army, I will wait for everyone to take orders."

"Since King Shun raised his army, he has been invincible in battle and conquered in every attack, like a horse flying in the sky. How can we guess?"

All the generals were taken aback when they heard the words, and immediately took orders.

Not to mention the changes in the rebel camp, let's say that Azig, Abatai, Yangguli, Wanyan Yechen and others were besieged by the rebels outside Taiyuan City, and their morale was already low and their hearts were heavy.

"My lord, my lord Belle, and my son-in-law, we really don't have much to eat now!" Wanyan Yechen couldn't help but stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"A lot of soldiers started to kill the mules, horses and livestock that accompanied them in private. If we don't make plans early, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave when we want to!"

"Planning? How can I plan?" Azig couldn't help but angrily said.

"The towns and villages in the north of Taiyuan have already been raided by us, and now I'm afraid they can't even scrape the rats. This 'shun thief' is obviously planning to starve us to death. What can I do?"

It turned out that although the rebels besieged the Houjin Azige tribe outside Taiyuan City, they did not actually besiege them to death. Instead, they were roughly besieged in the area south of Shiling Pass, east of Tianmen Pass, west of Yuxian County, and north of Taiyuan City. .

Due to Zhang Shun's "food war" strategy at the beginning, the situation in the northern frontier and Liaodong was worsened, and food shortages became more and more serious.

Therefore, the later Jin army went south this time, hoping to plunder more food, grass and goods, but in fact they did not carry much baggage.

And among these few luggage, and because Azig abandoned part of the bulky luggage in order to catch people by surprise, the food and grass in the Houjin camp became less and less.

Therefore, when the rebel army stabilized the situation, the aggressive Houjin army faced the big problem of food shortage.

"No, we still have to find a way to break through!" Abate shook his head and said with determination.

"Your Majesty has His Majesty's difficulties, we can't always count on him!"

"That's true!" The other three couldn't help but nodded when they heard the words, agreeing with Abate.

It turned out that they had been stuck outside Taiyuan City for the past few days, waiting for Mrs. Hong to lead the army to rescue them.

It's just that they haven't seen any movement for a long time, and their hearts are inevitably shaken.

There is a saying that Abate did not say, and others dare not say it, but everyone knows it well.

Later Jin practiced "aristocratic rule". Although these princes and Baylor obeyed Hong Tai's command in name, in fact, most of the troops under their command were soldiers under their own banner.

These people have both cooperated and struggled with Mrs. Hong.

In the "Battle of Jisi" that year, the later Jin army entered the pass under the leadership of Jin Guohan Hongtai, and once conquered Yongping, Luanzhou, Qian'an and other places in the pass.

Then he led his army out of the customs, leaving Amin, one of the four major Baylors, and Baylor Shuotuo leading [-] people to garrison Yuyongping Mansion and other places.

Sure enough, when the main force of the Ming army arrived, Amin couldn't defend himself, so he had to abandon the city.

Mrs. Hong took the opportunity to accuse him of his crimes and put him under house arrest, only "staying in six villages, two gardens, twenty servants, five hundred sheep, and twenty cattle, and the rest of the property belongs to Jierhalang."

Although Azige and Abatai think that they have an extraordinary relationship with Hong Tai, who can guess the emperor's mind?

Therefore, the two of them were unavoidably suspicious, for fear of becoming Amin's second, they would no longer want to sit and wait for death.

The forehead son-in-law Yang Guli moved his lips when he heard the words, but in the end he didn't make a sound.

Originally, he wanted to say "Your Highness is not that kind of person", but thinking about the resentment between Hong Tai's eldest son Hauge and Yue Tuo not long ago and being demoted to Baylor, he was a bit uncertain.

"Okay, since everyone has no objection, let's do it this way!" Azig couldn't help but finally made up his mind.
