please make me king

Chapter 204 Determination
After Zhang Shun's analysis, he really confirmed "Zijin Liang"'s rebellion, and he couldn't help agreeing: "'Optimus Prime' said that, since the government won't give us a way out, we will turn against his mother and turn the world upside down. This life is not in vain! Is it just a plan to make peace?"

Zhang Shun didn't expect this "Zijin Liang" to ask himself for a plan, so he pondered for a while, and replied: "I have two strategies, one is to leave and the other is to stay. I don't know which strategy the second leader would like to choose?"

"Why leave and stay?"

"As soon as I leave, I will fight if I can beat it, and if I can't fight, I will leave. I have no fixed place to live, and I am no doubt like the herdsmen in Saibei. It's just that the herdsmen herd on the grassland, and I wait to herd in the world!"

"To stay is to find a place to settle down and establish it as the foundation. The people are governed internally, and the officers and soldiers are governed externally. If you advance, you will seize the world, and if you retreat, you will separate one side."

"Zijin Liang" couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "I think this strategy is very clever, I was born in a desolate place, and I am very familiar with the wandering and plundering of herdsmen outside the Great Wall, it suits me quite well!"

"This policy of staying is the words of a scholar. The head of the family, Jiayin, known as the 'King of Hengtian', gathered the world's volunteers to break through Gufu, Qingshui, Hequ and other border counties and refused to defend. Liu Wu, Ke Tian Fei once guarded Iron Horn City, and Shen Yikui once guarded Ningsai, both of them died. Now that the officers and soldiers are in dire straits, how can we succeed?"

Based on the theory of a certain librarian, Zhang Shun managed to sum up "team building", "base area building" and "united front" according to the situation in the late Ming Dynasty. However, he never thought that it would be a disadvantage, and the most fundamental base area building could not be applied.

It turned out that the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty was completely different from that of the Republic of China. At this time, the Ming court was still able to operate normally, and the frontier army was quite powerful.Although the opponent's Northeast Houjin is not strong enough, it is easy to deal with individual peasant troops.

Among these uprising peasant armies, it is not that no one could not think of occupying a place and establishing a stable base.As a result, they all changed from "rogue bandits" to "sitting bandits", were beaten to death by the Ming army on the spot, and turned into military exploits.

Zhang Shun thought about it carefully, and found that what "Zijin Liang" said was true.Even if the fighting power of the Ming army is low, if you are surrounded by people, you can fight as much as you can, and you will die.

Therefore, Zhang Shun flattered "Zijin Liang" by the way, and praised: "Second leader, you are brilliant! It's just that I'm not familiar with the terrain, so I need you to decide where to go."

"Zijin Liang" is not an incompetent person either, he laughed and said, "It's ridiculous, it's amazing! Little brother 'Optimus Prime' has a quick mind, and he uses soldiers like a god, I also admire it."

"As for where to go, I have an idea, and I will discuss it with everyone. I said before that if you want to go left, you should go right, and if you want to go right, you should go left. I had this idea before I attacked Yuanqu City. Now that we can break through Zezhou City, why can’t Liaozhou City be breached? It’s justified that both the south and the north will be covered by rain and dew.”

"Since Liaozhou is broken, we can seize the nearby Heshun, Yushe, Taigu and other counties and threaten Taiyuan. Then we will combine forces from all directions to take Taiyuan City, open up the passage between Lvliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain, and disrupt Shanxi!"

No matter how smart Ren Zhangshun is, he is not like "Zijinliang" and others who have basically traveled all over Shanxi and are very familiar with the terrain of the place.Zhang Shun, who didn't know much about the terrain of Shanxi, could only boast a few words dryly. Seeing that everyone had no objections, "Zijin Liang" ordered the collection of supplies and prepared to lead troops northward to attack Liaozhou.

Zhang Shun returned to the camp, and quickly called Zhang Shenyan, Xu Ziyuan, and Li Xin over to refer to "Zijin Liang"'s strategy.

Zhang Shenyan was born in the local area, and he is most familiar with the situation in this area. Hearing this, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "The situation in Shanxi is bad! This 'Zijinliang' is just a bandit leader, and it's admirable and admirable to have such a level!"

Zhang Shun didn't understand what he meant, so he hurriedly asked why.Zhang Shenyan asked Xu Ziyuan to draw a sketch of Shanxi, and let Zhang Shun take a look.

Zhang Shun and Li Xin saw it, and they were all shocked.Even people who don't understand military affairs will know how powerful the "Zijin Liang" is after seeing this picture.

It turns out that this Liaozhou is not elsewhere, but in the northern part of the so-called Shangdang in ancient times.Including the land of Shangdang in the four prefectures of Zelu, Qin, and Liao, the northernmost is Liaozhou.Its prefectural capital is Zuoquan County in later generations. It was named after Zuoquan, the general of the Eighth Route Army, died in fighting the Japanese army here, so we know that its terrain is dangerous.

Not only is its terrain dangerous, but it also faces Taiyuan on the left and Shunde Mansion and Zhending Mansion on the right.If the rebels can occupy this place, they can take Taiyuan in the west, so as to connect with the rebels in Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain, and then occupy Shanxi; in the east, they can capture Shunde and Zhending, and go north to threaten the capital.

Zhang Shun's previous battles were all battle formations, thinking that he had mastered the art of using troops.Now seeing the arrangement of "Zijin Liang", I can't help being amazed, and I feel that I am really a frog at the bottom of the well.

In fact, this is the difference between tactics, campaigns and strategies.

Zhang Shun came from later generations. He knew that the Ming Dynasty was doomed and the Qing army would be difficult to defeat. Therefore, he was able to build a strategic plan and constantly explore countermeasures from top to bottom. This is a strategic category.For the people of this era, even if you are an emperor or a general, it is as difficult as reaching the sky to feel the pulse.Zhang Shun has the advantage of the foresight of the traversers, but it is easy for him.

And Zhang Shun trained his soldiers to lead the troops to form a formation to fight for the gains and losses of a city and a place, which is just a tactic.Compared with the Ming Dynasty at this time, it was nothing more than the duty of a general soldier.As long as Zhang Shun does not have a situation where there is no holiday, and with the good education standards of later generations, Zhang Shun can figure it out with time.

Only this method of battle, if there is no professional military officer to teach, and I am not familiar with the terrain, it is most likely to be confused.If Zhang Shun could not master the method of this battle, and his tactical ability and strategic ability were out of touch, I am afraid that he would only be a general soldier or serve as the staff of the frontier officials all his life.

Now "Zijin Liang" showed off his commanding ability in front of Zhang Shun, which actually reduced Zhang Shun's arrogance.Zhang Shun learned the method of battle from the middle, and it seemed as if a door to a new world had opened in his heart.

Immediately, Zhang Shun's drowsiness from not having a good rest last night disappeared, and his spirits lifted.

Zhang Shun took the sketch drawn by Xu Ziyuan, and the more he thought about it, the more wonderful he felt it.This "Zijin Liang" first captured Yuanqu and mobilized Shanxi troops to go south;

What's more, after the command of "Zijin Liang", Zhang Shun felt the subtlety of studying "Sun Tzu's Art of War" hard."Sun Tzu's Art of War" with only [-] words, Zhang Shun read it fluently and memorized it backwards.I just think it's very good, but I don't know how to use it in war.

Now that you have the concept of battle in your mind, you can know everything.It turned out that "Sun Tzu's Art of War" taught all the methods of organizing battles. No wonder Zhang Shun found it difficult to use all strategies when he marched and deployed his troops.

Zhang Shun understood another form of war this time, and was very happy.He simply became a primary school student, and followed "Zijin Liang" to figure out how this person would use his troops, and he lost his previous arrogance.

　This chapter may be a bit long-winded, but it is crucial.The protagonist finally realizes his own inadequacy in using troops, and earnestly learns how Zijin Liang organizes battles.And Zijin Liang, the second master, is finally about to complete his mission.
