please make me king

Chapter 202

Zhang Shun and others followed the second head of the "Zijin Liang", and paid homage to the head of the house Wang Jiayin honestly.

It was deep winter, the wind was blowing, and the vegetation was all withered, adding a bit of desolation to the scene.Zhang Shun looked at a simple little earthen bun in front of him, and inexplicably remembered a line of poetry: "Even if there is a thousand-year-old iron threshold, there must be a earthen bun!"

No matter how majestic you were, how rich and powerful you were, how arrogant and domineering you were, wouldn't you want to come here to be a "mantou trap" in the end?

After going through the previous fight to the death, and after so many life and death, separation and reunion, Zhang Shun suddenly became less afraid of death.

When a person deserves to die, he must die eventually. Even if he loves it, hates it, fears it, or dreads it, it is still ruthless.That being the case, why bother with it?

Zhang Shun finished with emotion, but he did not forget the business.Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, Zhang Shun secretly left an old soldier behind and asked him to go back and contact Liu Yinggui, Sheng Wangping, so that Liu Yinggui could inform Shun Wangping to make preparations as soon as possible.In order not to turn around and hit the "Zijin Liang", exposing the camp.

On the second day, "Zijinliang" and others really followed the way to Shun Wangping, which gave Zhang Shun a bad feeling.

As a result, at night, "Zijinliang" and the others happened to arrive at a three-way intersection on the way to Shunwangping.This place is only ten miles away from Shun Wang Ping, if everyone in Shun Wang Ping is willing to look down the mountain, they will be able to see the ranks of the rebel army at the bottom of the mountain.

In fact, Zhang Shun thought it was right, when they were camping on the bank of Xiyang River at the foot of the mountain, the red lady was looking down at Zhang Shun's place on the mountain.

Ma Yingniang also pretended to be curious when she saw her and a few people looking around on the mountain, and ran up to look down the mountain.As a result, only ants-like soldiers and tents the size of copper coins can be seen at the foot of the mountain. How can one tell where Zhang Shun is?

Ma Yingniang couldn't help but asked strangely: "What is the old sister doing here? You can't see anything down the mountain!"

The red lady knew what was on her mind, so she smiled and said, "I got the news overnight, it was in vain for me to make arrangements, and I couldn't rest. I never thought that this heartless person would pass through the house and refuse to enter. I really think I am the great Yu who controls the water!"

As the saying goes, "if the name is not correct, the words will not go well", Ma Yingniang was speechless, so she had to retreat in embarrassment.

In the afternoon of the next day, "Zijin Liang", Zhang Shun and others rushed to Lishan Town, which is located on the bank of Xiyun River and at the foot of Lishan Mountain.The local area is a small basin, which is considered rich. "Zijinliang", Xing Honglang originally planned to plunder this place.

Zhang Shun hurriedly stopped them, and said: "Yuanqu County is not far from here, if we delay here for one night, I'm afraid someone will report to the county magistrate, then we will have difficulty in attacking the city! Not if' Unexpectedly attack the unprepared', go all night, break through the city, and rest without hesitation!"

This "Purple Gold Liang" was also well versed in the art of war, and immediately felt that Zhang Shun's proposal was very good, so he gave up his plan to rest in Lishan Town, but subconsciously ignored the question of why Zhang Shun knew the journey here.

The old Daoist Taoist's heart was moved, he was quite guessing about Zhang Shun's move, but there was too little information, and Zhang Shun's book was his own "owner", how could he dismantle Zhang Shun's platform?
Therefore, the rebel army simply gave up Lishan Town, went directly down the Xiyun River, and went straight to Yuanqu County.

This Yuanqu county seat is not the seat of the later Yuanqu county seat, but is near the ancient town of Yuanqu county in later generations.

The city is located on a high ground at the confluence of three rivers, with the Boqing River on the left, the Xiyun River on the right, and the Yellow River in the south. Only the north can pass through, but it is a hilly terrain.

There is an important place in the north, which is guarding the main road and guarding the Yuanqu, called Nanbaotou.This Nanbaotou is also on top of a high wall, with a steep terrain and a fortress.If the rebels wanted to attack Yuanqu County in one fell swoop, they had to take Nanbaotou first.

The detectives of the rebel army understood it and reported it to "Zijinliang", Zhang Shun, Xing Honglang and Jiu Tiaolong.It's just that among the four, Jiu Tiaolong was defeated and suffered heavy losses; while Xing Honglang and "Zijin Liang" were not good at infantry and siege, everyone had to look at Zhang Shun together.

It stands to reason that Zhang Shun had put in a lot of effort in the past, so it was never his turn to attack the city, but other people's pawns were even worse, such night raids were incompetent, so we had to trouble Zhang Shun's team again.

In fact, others have overlooked one point. Compared with others, Zhang Shun's team is better at night battles.

It turns out that in this era, many people suffer from night blindness and cannot fight at night.The main reason is that the intake of meat products is too little and the serious lack of vitamin A.It happened that Zhang Shun's team caught a lot of fish in Shengwangping, which not only supplemented protein, but also cured many people's night blindness, killing two birds with one stone.

It's just that Zhang Shun himself was confused and didn't notice this matter.He just arranged for everyone to rest in the middle of the night, and at midnight he led the team to steal the city.

The main force in stealing the city this time is Zhang Sanbai. These few times Zhang Sanbai has fought bravely and performed brilliantly, and he is a lone minister who has no heels, so he is suitable for vigorous training.

As for the assistance of other troops, once the siege fails, Li Shi'an's artillery will assist.After everything was arranged, Zhang ordered Zhang Sanbai to steal the city by the way.

Although the terrain of Yuanqu County is good, but it has not experienced war for a long time, so it has long been slack.The former "Zijinliang" and other rebels ravaged Zezhou, and Yuanqu County, which was separated by a mountain, was on alert for a while, but when they saw that the rebels had no intention of coming over, they relaxed again.

As a result, there was no one watching the night in an important place like Nanbaotou, even Zhang Sanbai who climbed up the high wall was surprised.Emotionally waiting for others to work in vain for half the night, it is better to go through the front door and attack quickly.

Zhang Sanbai was a man of high skill and boldness, so he didn't even notify Zhang Shun, and directly led his soldiers to climb over the city wall and open the gate.Then, while sending people to inform Zhang Shun to bring the main force up, he took care of leading the troops to fight in.

By the time Zhang Shun personally led the cavalry and galloped over to support, the battle in the fort had already ended.

Zhang Shun, who was at a loss, was afraid of losing Zhang Sanbai, a promising general. As a result, the guards in the fort were nothing more than young men recruited by the county magistrate. Zhang Sanbai and others?

Seeing Zhang Sanbai's ferocity, they quickly dropped their weapons and surrendered, so as not to arouse the opponent's ferocity.So Zhang Sanbai won without a fight and took the fort completely.

Although Zhang Shun made a false alarm, he couldn't help admonishing Zhang Sanbai a few words: "Soldiers are dangerous, and they can be perfect and victorious, why bother to take risks? The way of generals is to underestimate the enemy. Once expected If you make a mistake, don’t you commit suicide?”

Zhang Shun beheaded the command of the officers and soldiers twice, defeated the officers and soldiers, and his reputation was growing.Although Zhang Sanbai was not convinced, he didn't dare to touch Zhang Shun's bad luck, so he could only listen to the reprimand honestly.
