please make me king

Chapter 1391 Route
It is said that Lu Xiangjin and Liu Hui repelled Houjin's attack that day, sent a letter to Xuanfu City, and placed it in front of Zhang Shun.

How could Zhang Shun have guessed that Hou Jin's attack was actually killing two birds with one stone, besides testing the rebels' reality, he also had the intention of covering Dorgon's two thousand elite riders away from Eagle Owl Castle and heading north to Dushikou.

Lu Xiangjin and Liu Hui are only capable of defending the city, how can they find out?
Although Zhang Shun didn't know about this, it didn't prevent him from realizing the importance of Longmen Guard.

But the troublesome thing is that although there are many people under his command, there are very few who can be dispatched to take charge of their own affairs.

Zhang Weishi, Li Guoliang, and Gao Qiqian are newcomers, so he can rest assured only if they are under his nose.

Li Zicheng is indeed talented in various aspects. He also showed excellent commanding ability in the previous battles to capture Shiling Pass, Xinzhou, Wanquan Youwei, and Zhangjiakou Fort.

However, Zhang Shun now only has Li Zicheng, Zhang Fatty, Yang Chengzu, and Li Shukong's four cavalry battalions in his hands. How can he be lighthearted if he wants to keep him as a strategic reserve?
The rest of Ye Tinggui, Wu Aheng, Zuo Guangxian, and Sun Tongtong have their own tasks, and they are lacking in skills, and they cannot be easily called.

How to do how to do?
After thinking about it, Zhang Shun suddenly thought of someone, his eyes lit up and he said: "Xu Ziyuan, you draft a military order for me to lead Cao Wenzhao to lead the Biao Battalion to the north, I have another important task."

"Let Cao Dingjiao continue to garrison Pingding, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Ming army."

Cao Wenzhao, as the first general of the Ming army to take refuge in Zhang Shun, not only has obvious political significance, but he himself is a veteran and powerful general.

If he can be mobilized, not only will there be no dissatisfaction among the rebels, but even the surrendered generals of the Ming army will have to surrender.

When Xu Ziyuan heard the words, he quickly drafted the military order, and after Zhang Shun signed and stamped it, he dispatched envoys to send them to Pingdingzhou, Taiyuan.

Xuanfu is thousands of miles away from Taiyuan, and Taiyuan is two hundred and fifty miles away from Pingding.

Zhang Shun's envoy had a number of horses, and the rest of the horses were restless. They galloped day and night, traveling [-] times a day, and arrived in Pingding Prefecture in only four days.

When he arrived in Pingding, the envoy was almost paralyzed.

Then Cao Wenzhao hurriedly ordered the soldiers to stay there to rest, while opening the letter to read, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"What's wrong with uncle, he's happier today than his aunt is pregnant?" Cao Dingjiao couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

It turned out that Cao Wenzhao had been raising him for about a year since he ate the "secret recipe" given to him by Zhang Shun. Recently, his wife was indeed pregnant, and it was reported that a baby girl had been born.

A baby girl is a baby girl, as long as she can give birth by herself, will she not be able to give birth to a boy sooner or later?

As a result, as soon as he received the good news from his family, he received Zhang Shun's transfer order on his back.

Since Cao Wenzhao took refuge in Zhang Shun, due to status issues, Zhang Shun wanted to use it but did not dare to use it, and Cao Wenzhao wanted to make contributions but did not dare to make contributions.

Until the forces of the rebel army became stronger and stronger, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, Zuo Guangxian, the general soldier of Shaanxi, Yu Chongxiao, the general soldier of Yansui, and others all took refuge in Zhang Shun, Cao Wenzhao was deeply loved as a "direct line". reuse.

However, the rebel army at this time had swelled to "[-]". Even if Cao Wenzhao was talented, due to his limited qualifications, it would be difficult to command more than [-] troops to fight.

Therefore, he had no choice but to act as a general and wronged Bala to lead four battalions to participate in the "Eastern Expedition".

In this battle, he captured Puzhou one after another, and joined forces with Li Xin to conquer Luzhou. A few days ago, he also beheaded Azig, the King of the Later Jin Dynasty.

However, no matter how beautiful he is, Cao Wenzhao knows his family affairs.

Today's Binh Dinh Prefecture is far away from the center of the two battlefields in the north and the south, and things like Azig's "waiting for a rabbit" are rare.

If there is no accident, the battle that determines the life and death of the rebel army may eventually miss him.

However, who would have imagined it, just when Cao Wenzhao was sighing, he suddenly took a turn for the worse, and immediately received Zhang Shun's transfer order.

"Okay, good nephew, uncle is going to get rich this time!" Cao Wenzhao said excitedly, shaking Zhang Shun's handwriting at Cao Dingjiao.

"How do you say this?" Cao Dingjiao couldn't help but asked quickly because he didn't understand.

"King Shun is going to transfer me to Xuan Mansion, and let you stay in Ping Ding." Cao Wenzhao explained.

"Congratulations to Uncle, congratulations to Uncle!" Cao Dingjiao felt a little disappointed when he heard that he didn't have his share, but he couldn't help congratulating him.

"Okay, let's stop talking, I'll straighten out the people and go to the Xuanfu!" Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but laugh.

"Uncle, where does uncle want to go?" Cao Dingjiao hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking.

"Naturally, we will go to Taiyuan, then go north to Datong, and then go east to Xuanfu." Cao Wenzhao put away Zhang Shun's handwriting, and he couldn't help but agree.

"If you want to make a detour like this, you have to travel a thousand or two hundred miles." Cao Dingjiao frowned and said, "It takes more than [-] days to travel fifty days."

"When uncle arrives, I'm afraid the food will be cold!"

"It's okay, I'm going to lead my family Ding Qingqi to go, and let him go to the bid camp!" Cao Wenzhao couldn't help laughing.

"Since this is the case, why don't uncle pretend to be a businessman, go out of Guguan east, and then go all the way north, go down Maguan, Guangchang, Weizhou and arrive at Xuanfu?" Cao Dingjiao couldn't help suggesting.

"It's only [-] miles from north to south, which is [-] miles shorter than the detour to Taiyuan, saving several days of work."

"Oh? That's true!" Cao Wenzhao pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and nodded involuntarily.

He has always been bold, but now the rebel army is running across the north and south, and the Ming army in Beizhili is already in chaos and is on the eve of collapse.

If he led two or three hundred personal guards, lightly loaded and fast horses, all the way north, it is estimated that no one who is not open-eyed would dare to intercept.

In this way, he only needs four or five days to rush to Xuanfu, which is really very attractive.

"In this way, you immediately select thirty or fifty capable scouts for me to go out of Guguan in the east, go to Pingshan, Lingshou, Xingtang, Quyang and other places to investigate information on the front line of Daomaguan." Cao Wenzhao thought for a long time, and finally decided to.

"I'm going to choose a fast horse for my personal guard, and I'm going to have a full night's rest, and I'll go to Xuanfu early tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Cao Dingjiao nodded when he heard the words, and went to accept the order.

Not long after, thirty or fifty rebel scouts set up Pingding City, passed through Guguan all the way east, and entered Jingxing County.

But the next morning, before dawn, Cao Wenzhao jumped up, dressed neatly, and went to look for Cao Dingjiao.

Cao Dingjiao was still asleep, and he pulled him up and asked, "How is the situation in Beizhi, is there a scout to report?"

"Uncle is now fully dressed and has brought his bodyguards, ready to set off now."

"Ah? It's still early, none of the scouts dispatched yesterday have come back yet," Cao Dingjiao said in a daze.

"No one has come back yet, so you didn't send them out, right?" Cao Wenzhao didn't believe it when he heard the words, and said that Cao Dingjiao was lazy and slippery.

"Really, how dare I be careless about such an important matter." Cao Dingjiao had just spoken halfway, and suddenly his whole body shuddered a few times, and he was completely awake.

"No, the situation is wrong!" The uncle and nephew couldn't help but look at each other and said in unison.

This Cao Wenzhao and Cao Dingjiao are not the first day to use soldiers, and the scouts under their command are not vagrants and bandits, how can they be child's play?

From yesterday to this morning, it took most of the day, no matter how lazy and slippery the scouts were, there was absolutely no reason not to come back and report.

Unless unless they were all intercepted and killed!
Thinking of this, both Cao Wenzhao and Cao Dingjiao saw the shock in each other's eyes, and they couldn't help saying loudly: "Order, order, immediately summon all the soldiers in the city, put on armor and spears, and go to Guguan."

"If there is any violation, shoot and kill!"

After Cao Dingjiao gave the order, Cao Wenzhao added two sentences: "Immediately send an envoy to Taiyuan and report to Sun Chuanting who stayed behind in Taiyuan to know."

"Don't send one person, go south to Liaozhou to summon 'Huaguansuo' Wang Guangen, and then go to Luzhou to inform Zuo Shuai Li Xin to know, there must be no mistake!"
