please make me king

Chapter 205
The sketch drawn by Xu Ziyuan made Zhang Shun's plan for the "Zijinliang" campaign clear at a glance, making Zhang Shun more aware of the importance of the map.

While the rebel army was preparing supplies, Zhang Shun simply sent a team of cavalry to protect Xu Ziyuan to inspect the terrain and mountains of Yuanqu, and made a map of Yuanqu County by the way.

After two days, Xu Ziyuan really made a sketch and handed it to Zhang Shun.When Zhang Shun saw it, he couldn't help sighing, it turned out that the terrain of Yuanqu County was the most ideal small base.

The place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the river on one side, and the Boqing River Valley in the middle is suitable for farming, and the county seat is located on the high wall guarded by three rivers, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.Not far from the county seat, there is Nanbaotou in the north, Ningjiapo in the northwest, and Zhaili Village in the west. All three places have high terrain and are suitable for building fortresses to defend the county.

Just taking the county seat as the center, two strong defense lines of mountains and fortresses were formed, restricting the road into Yuanqu.

It's a pity that the Ming court is powerful, even with such excellent terrain, it is not enough to resist the imperial court's encirclement and suppression, Zhang Shun felt very depressed.

Fortunately, the rebel army collected a lot of food and supplies in Yuanqu, which improved Zhang Shun's mood.In particular, grain, more than a hundred catties of bronze wares, and thousands of catties of salt made Zhang Shun very happy.

Everyone shared the food, and the bronze wares were not used much by others, so Zhang Shun bought them at a price.As for table salt, it was too heavy and not too rare, so others only took a little.It was supposed to be abandoned, but after Zhang Shun learned about it, he took it from the rebel army.

Zhang Shun falsely claimed that he would send people to hide in the deep mountains and sell them slowly.He was also secretly ridiculed by "Zijinliang" and Xing Honglang as "a miser" and "a mosquito splits meat on his legs" and so on.

In fact, Zhang Shun planned to send the salt to Shunwangping Mountain first, and then slowly transport it to Shengwangping, so that Liu Yinggui, who was catching white fish, could take the opportunity to pickle a batch of salted fish, which is not only conducive to preservation, but also convenient It will be used for food transportation in the future.

After a few days of delay, under the repeated urging of "Zijin Liang", the rebel army reluctantly left Yuanqu County.

There are three routes from Yuanqu County to the north.One is to return to the original road; the other is to go east to Jiyuan after passing Nanbaotou; the third is to go northwest along the Boqing River, detour to Jiangxian, Quwo, Yicheng, and then return east Qinshui and Yangcheng.

Both "Zijinliang" and Xing Honglang felt that it would be most convenient to go back the same way, so they led the team up along the Xiyun River without thinking carefully.

Starting here was not to act early in the morning, but after arriving at Lishan Town, the sun was already westward, and the rebels simply settled down in Lishan Town.

Although Zhang Shun spent a lot of saliva, the rebel army was mixed, it was inevitable that there were young people who were not well-behaved, and made the Lishan people's teeth itch, and they all dared to be angry but dared not speak up.

Fortunately, under Zhang Shun's command, Zhang Shun was able to restrain himself well, and nothing happened.After everything was arranged and it was still early, Zhang Shun took Wukong, Li Xin, Zhang Shenyan, Xu Ziyuan and four other apprentices out to check it out.

Firstly, let’s get to know the local conditions and customs of Mount Li. After all, this will be his “grass beside the nest” in the future, so that he can have contacts in the future; secondly, he will take the opportunity to check the terrain. It's much more fun than playing games like "Roman Total War" in the previous life.

It's just that the "game" is too difficult, not only has the fog of war, but also has a very limited field of vision.In order to improve the winning rate, so that the game that cannot be archived will not be GG ahead of time, Zhang Shun had to do everything possible to understand the things related to his use of troops.

For example, terrain everywhere.While walking, Zhang Shun was discussing with the people under his command where to camp, where to deploy formations, where to ambush, and so on.

These people who followed Zhang Shun were not particularly good at using soldiers, they couldn't help being fascinated by what they heard, and felt that it was not without reason that Zhang Shun was invincible.

Zhang Shun hurriedly said politely: "Where, where is it!"

When Zhang Shun was proud, he never thought that extreme joy would turn into sorrow, and he was hit on the head by something suddenly.Fortunately, the flying objects were not very large, so there was no great danger.

However, this also annoyed Zhang Shun. He turned his head and saw a ragged beggar not far away, holding a bigger clod of soil in a throwing shape.

Seeing Zhang Shun looking over, the beggar immediately hid the clod in his hand behind his back, his face was quite embarrassed.

Zhang Shun didn't know that this guy was throwing him.Consciously losing face, she couldn't help being annoyed at his rudeness, and wanted to teach him a lesson.

As a result, Zhang Shun's face turned pale after this, and the four apprentices over there immediately drew out the short knives around their waists, intending to kill the beggar on the spot.

His four apprentices are all adopted sons of the "Eight Great Kings". The "Eight Great Kings" already like to kill, and they are unreasonable and want to rely on three points, let alone others bullying them in front of the door?
Seeing this, Zhang Shenyan quickly stopped the four children, and went forward to scold the shabby beggar.As a result, the beggar babbled, cried and laughed, and turned out to be a fool and lunatic.

Zhang Shun also walked over at this time, and shouted: "You man, I have never had any grievances with you, how can you insult me?"

In the end, the lunatic didn't know whether he understood or not, so he handed the clod of soil to Zhang Shun and said, "Here, here! Take it, take it all!"

Zhang Shun was somehow stuffed into a piece of dirt, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.Seeing that this person seemed to be mentally abnormal, he prepared to order this person to be let go.

The result was unexpected, seeing this, Zhang Shenyan actually bowed his hands to the beggar, and then bowed to Zhang Shun: "Congratulations, general, congratulations, general!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun was puzzled and asked, "What does Yafu mean? Where does this joy come from? Where does this congratulation come from?"

"Happiness comes from the soil, and congratulations come from the soil!" Zhang Shenyan said with a smile, "Lishan Town is the hometown of Emperor Shun, and the general inherited the virtues of the soil. Now someone offers soil and the general, isn't this heaven and the general? "

"What's more, Mingzu was born as a beggar and has been sitting on his land for more than two hundred years. Isn't it reasonable to dedicate it to the general now?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing and said: "Ya Fu, you are really kind-hearted and eloquent! This man is just a crazy beggar, how can I argue with him. It's not worth taking someone's life just for a little quarrel."

"That's all, since Yafu said that you should give me the soil, I have the right to accept it!"

After speaking, Zhang ordered Li Xin to find a piece of cloth to wrap the soil and keep it.

This matter was originally a joke, Zhang Shun and Zhang Shenyan talked about it, and it passed.I never thought that people in the world are ignorant, not to mention that these words come from the mouth of Zhang Shenyan, a member of the third rank.

　Thank you fans for the reward of "start moving from the opposite direction", and thank you fans for the big reward of "[-]:[-]", I am really grateful!However, fans "[-]:[-]" really rewarded a lot, and they are really worthy of it!
