please make me king

Chapter 176 Noble Virtue
Zhang Shun agreed upon hearing this, and while ordering his subordinates to build the altar, Liu Cheng hurriedly reported to Zhang Shunhui: "My lord, there is one more matter for you to decide!"

"Because Song Tongyin's guard battalion lost Song Tongyin, he was afraid of being punished by the government, so he surrendered to our rebel army. Liu Cheng dare not do anything alone, please make a decision, my lord."

When Zhang Shun heard this, he smiled and said: "This is a good thing. We will monitor it with other prisoners in a while, and then choose the loyal ones who belong to each battalion." "King Kong" is gone.

Zhang Shun was about to inquire about the situation of Chen Changliang's capture, but he heard a report from his subordinates: "The general 'a tiger' who broke into the camp came to see the general."

Zhang Shun felt guilty, and asked a little uncertainly, "What is he here for?"

Apparently Zhang Shun asked the person who reported the letter, but he couldn't smell the result, so he had to order someone to let him go.As a result, Zhang Shun didn't expect this person to rush over with more than [-] people. Seeing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help being shocked, and prepared to order his soldiers to defend.

Unexpectedly, that "a tiger" smiled from a distance: "'Optimus Prime' is really good at tricks, everyone is also fighting, I was waiting to be chased by Song Tongyin, but I came to you, and I slaughtered it like a chicken ear !"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun said modestly: "It all depends on the brothers' hard work, and the second master and Chuangying claim themselves."If I'm 'Optimus Prime' alone, how many can I beat? '

Unexpectedly, that "a tiger" laughed and said: "If I just use soldiers like a god, I'll be dissatisfied with 'a tiger'. Today your Excellency gains power, and in the future I'll be a 'tiger' to achieve this feat! There is another one This matter, but I am so impressed!"

Zhang Shun was startled when he heard this, and thought: Could it be that something happened between me and his aunt?
As a result, the "tiger" pointed to more than [-] people behind him and said, "'Optimus Prime', do you recognize these people? I broke into the camp and captured them so hard. Not only did they not want to surrender to us, they even shouted they would Surrender to Optimus Prime!"

"It's the first time I've encountered such a strange thing since I became a thief. Thank you for the incident with my aunt. We ran into the camp without supplies, and we didn't have anything valuable to repay you. So I sent them over to express my feelings!"

Zhang Shun watched for a long time, but he didn't find any difference between them and other officers and soldiers.But some people are willing to surrender themselves, there is no loss left or right, don't want it for nothing, so they agreed.He laughed and said, "Thank you for that, 'a tiger', and say hello to your uncle for me! We all belong to the rebel army, and we should work together."

That "a tiger" lost his arrogance this time, and left after a few polite words with him.At this time, these officers and soldiers rushed over one after another. Wukong was about to kill one of them with a stick, but he heard Xu Ziyuan shout: "Brothers, why are you here?"

Zhang Shun turned his head and saw Xu Ziyuan and the soldiers brought by "a tiger" hugging each other and crying loudly.

Zhang Shun listened to him for a long time before he realized that these three hundred officers and soldiers were none other than those who were captured by Zhang Shun and released.Because they surrendered to the rebel army, they were blamed and oppressed by the officials after they returned, and many of them were ruined.

In this battle, the officers and soldiers feared that they would surrender again, so they strung them up with ropes and forced them to work as coolies to deliver weapons, food and grass to the officers and soldiers.It happened that the officers and soldiers were defeated, and they were caught by the camp because they were connected by ropes and had trouble moving.

At this time, they remembered that Xu Ziyuan had the foresight of "following the bandits" back then, so they asked to surrender to "Optimus Prime" one after another, hoping to get Xu Ziyuan's help.

But Zhang Shun knew about it, others didn't.Everyone thinks that Zhang Shunde's behavior is noble and has the style of Emperor Shun.Even Zhang Shenyan couldn't help sighing: "Emperor Shun's virtue, everyone returns to him. One year, he lived in a gathering, two years into a town, and three years into Chengdu. Tang Zong's virtue, Ze was imprisoned and made him return. Today's commander Virtue influences the enemy, so that the officers and soldiers who are released home come back and surrender on their own. Since ancient times, I have only heard of rebels taking the initiative to surrender to the rebels, but I have never heard of officers and soldiers voluntarily surrendering to the rebels. That's it!"

This Shenyan quotes two allusions. One is that Emperor Shun was so virtuous that the people were willing to follow him.The place where he lived became a village in one year, a city in two years, and an administrative district in three years.

And another allusion is that Tang Taizong released the prisoners who were about to be executed in autumn to return home, and asked them to reunite with their families before returning to lead the death. At that time, the ministers were very opposed.As a result, the prisoners came back on time.

Zhang Shenyan used this to praise Zhang Shun's virtues. Zhang Shun couldn't help but looked at him strangely, thinking: "Isn't it true that these officers and soldiers were unable to bear the torture of the government, so they took refuge in me? What you said is so polite. doing what!"

As a result, that Zhang Shenyan paid homage to Zhang Shun, and said: "The leader is so virtuous, and everyone in the world admires him. Although the Song Fujun offended the commander Huwei, they are each their own master. I am their old friend, and Song Tongyin has been punished. , can General Liu be buried in peace after the worship is over?"

Zhang Shun laughed as soon as he heard it, it turned out that you flattered me for a long time because of this.This is really tough without desire, but only soft if you want something.Then he replied: "Then let me talk to Liu Cheng, whether it's okay or not, Yafu don't blame me!"

At this time, Liu Cheng and others had already laid down the sacrificial supplies and Song Tongyin's head.He bowed three times in the direction where the "Eight King Kong" was buried, and lit a joss stick.Then, Liu Cheng and others cried loudly, crying: "Don't disturb the old master, we will avenge you! Others, wait, bring them together sooner or later, and pay homage to your spirit in heaven."

Seeing this, Zhang Shun also walked over, bowed three times, and added a stick of incense to the "Eight King Kong".Then, he said to Liu Cheng: "I already know your feelings. You can rest assured, I will wait for the opportunity to fetch the head of the culprit for you!"

When Liu Cheng heard the words, he was moved and cried: "I, Liu Cheng, don't know how to thank the lord, so let me kowtow to the lord!"

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed his head in a "plop plop", and even smashed his head.Zhang Shun hurriedly helped Liu Cheng and the others up, and said, "Why is this so? The 'Eight King Kong' is your brother, and also my 'Optimus Prime' brother. Everyone in the world is also brothers, and everyone should join the rebel army together. Work together! Take this revenge together, how can we divide between you and me?"

Liu Cheng was very grateful when he heard the words, but he just held Zhang Shun's hand tightly, not knowing how to express his excitement.

Zhang Shun waited for him to slow down a bit, and then said: "I have something, but I want to ask for your opinion!"

"That Zhang Shenyan was originally an old friend of Song Tongyin, and he asked me to bury him. I wonder what you want?"

Liu Cheng wiped his tears when he heard the words, and said: "I, Liu Cheng, am not an unkind person. I know how he feels when he loses relatives and friends at the same time. From this point of view, Mr. Zhang is also a person who values ​​love and righteousness, my lord. And let him be buried!"

Seeing Liu Cheng's permission, Zhang Shun ordered Song Tongyin to be buried generously.Stitching his corpse together, he made people choose a geomantic gem for burial.
