please make me king

Chapter 256 Situation Reversal
Zhang Shun and others easily occupied the county seat of Fuping County. After occupying the county seat, Zhang Shun sent people to set up checkpoints on key routes in the county to check the passing passengers.On the one hand, it can prevent the leakage of information, and on the other hand, it can be used as a warning point to prevent officers and soldiers from raiding the county.

In addition, Jiang He was sent to lead his soldiers to capture Longquan Pass, [-] miles west of Fuping County.

This checkpoint is only [-] miles away from Mount Wutai. Governor Zhang Zongheng of Xuanda and Governor of Shanxi Xu Dingchen were shocked when they got the news. They hurriedly led [-] elite factions to try to retake Longquan Pass, but they were repelled by Jiang He relying on the city of the checkpoint.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun quickly ordered Zhang Sanbai to lead his troops to support, so as to strengthen the defense of Longquan Pass.

It turns out that although Longquan Pass is not very famous, under the current situation, its status is particularly important.This pass is the only way to go to Wutai Mountain from the capital, Tianjin Wei, Baoding and Zhending.

Zhang Shun occupied Fuping County, passing through this pass coincided with the "Zijin Liang" attacking Zhang Zongheng, governor of Xuanda, and Xu Dingchen, governor of Shanxi, so they were not in a hurry.

Fortunately, Zhang and Xu have more than ten thousand soldiers together, and they are not afraid of field battles with the rebels.Zhang Shun didn't intend to defeat Zhang and Xu in one go, so he was not in a hurry, but ordered Zhang Shenyan, Li Xin and others to handle the government affairs of Fuping County.One is to add some money and food, and the other is to familiarize the subordinates with how to manage the internal affairs of a county.

In the past two days, Li Jiyu heard the news from Daomaguan. Sure enough, Wei Congyi had arrived at the Marco Polo Bridge outside the capital, shocking the government and the public.

When Zhang Shun heard the news, he quickly ordered not to stop it. Instead, he deliberately spread the word to Wutai County, saying: "The rebel army is powerful, encircling the capital, and it will come down sooner or later, and the dynasty will be changed!"

Zhang Zongheng, governor of Xuanda, and Xu Dingchen, governor of Shanxi Province, were in chaos when they heard the words.The two quickly abandoned their prejudices and discussed with each other how to deal with this matter.

The two discussed for a long time, and they could only come to one conclusion: Hurry up and send troops to the north to serve the king!
The two knew that the Chongzhen Emperor who was currently in power was not a magnanimous lord. The two of them were in Shanxi to suppress bandits, just to prevent the rebels from fleeing to Gyeonggi, causing panic in the government and the public.

Now, the two not only failed to suppress the bandits, but let the bandits attack the capital, this is the crime of the clan.How could the two dare to stay in Mount Wutai to entangle with the "Zijin Liang", so they hurriedly left the camp and headed north.

Originally, the most convenient route for Zhang Zongheng and Xu Dingchen to go to the capital was to take Longquan Pass, cross Fuping County and go north all the way.Just because Zhang Shun occupied Longquanguan and Fuping County, and the road was rugged and mountainous, Zhang and Xu were afraid of delaying time and being blamed by Emperor Chongzhen, so they had to go north to Fanzhi County, and then went west to Lingqiu , Guangchang.

At this time, "Chuang Jiang" had already fought with Weizhou Guard in Guangchang. Due to the small number of rebel soldiers and weak strength, "Chuang Jiang" was quite reluctant to defend.

At this time, Zhang Shun heard that Zhang Zongheng and Xu Dingchen had left their camp to go north, and had already passed the news to Guangchang County. After being notified by Zhang Shun, the "General Chuang" knew that it was time to retreat, so he led his troops to break through overnight and retreated to Daomaguan.

At this time, "Zijinliang" finally broke away from the suppression of Xuanda governor Zhang Zongheng and Shanxi governor Xu Dingchen. He was relieved, but he couldn't help but become angry.So he wanted to recruit Zhang Shun to join forces with "Chuang Jiang" to go south together and take advantage of the falsehood to capture Taiyuan City as a sign of revenge.

Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly told the truth: "The capital's warning is just a bluff. Zhang Xu and Zhang got the exact news soon, and they will definitely lead the army back. Even if Taiyuan City is captured by then, We definitely can't stick to it. If we can't attack for a long time and are attacked by officers and soldiers inside and outside, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"It just so happened that the elites of Zhili were all gathered in the north. Lu Xiangsheng was dismissed. Zuo Liangyu was nothing to be afraid of. It just so happened that we joined forces to defeat him."

This "Zijinliang" knew the art of war quite well. After hearing about Zhang Shun's news, he immediately discovered the fighter plane in it, and hurriedly led the team through Longquan Pass, and entered Fuping County to meet Zhang Shun and others.

At this time, "General Chuang" also brought people over from Daomaguan, and the two sides didn't have much to talk about. They were all people who knew how to fight, and they unified the strategy of going south and Zuo Liangyu's decisive battle in a few words.

After the plan was decided, "Zijin Liang" urged everyone to set off.It's just that Zhang Shun was worried about Wei Congyi's life, so he had to leave a few soldiers and wait for Wei Congyi to return.

The next day, "Zijinliang", Zhang Shun and "Chuangjiang" gathered [-] to [-] people, left Fuping County, and swaggered all the way south.

The Zhending Guard and Shenwu Youwei in Zhending Mansion dared to go out of the city to intercept them, so they had to hide in the city and defend with all their strength.

The rebel army had no good way to deal with this kind of defensive city, they just pretended that they couldn't see it, and swaggered over from outside the city.

At this time, Chen Changbing had already run out of water in the Xishan camp.He led the cavalry out of the camp to make surprise attacks many times, but Zuo Liangyu and Liang Fu had already prepared for it, but they did not achieve good results.

He was even ambushed by officers and soldiers once, and Chen Changzhu almost fell there. Fortunately, he came out with high martial arts skills, but the cavalry under his command also lost more than [-] cavalry.

Chen Changliang had no choice but to order his soldier Ding Zhuang to block the entrance of the camp with huge stones and prepare to defend the Xishan camp.

The Art of War says: If you defend for a long time, you will lose if you defend for a long time.Chen Changbing knew that defending to the death is a taboo for military strategists, but he didn't have any weight in his hands, so he had to stick to it and wait for changes.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu and Liang Fu were already red-eyed. They had a total of four to five thousand troops, and they had been attacking for more than half a month, losing troops and losing generals. They had nothing to do with this small Xishan camp. .

They saw that the Xishan camp was crumbling, but no matter how fiercely they attacked, they still couldn't get in. They were really annoyed.

In any case, the Xishan camp was at the end of its strength, Zuo Liangyu facilitated Liang Fu's discussion and said, "Tomorrow, we will issue a heavy reward and send five hundred dead soldiers to take down this camp in one go, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the court."

The two had discussed and decided, and just after dawn the next day, they launched a fierce attack on the Xishan camp again.

Chen Changbing hastily ate his breakfast, and hurriedly led his soldiers to resist.It's just that Chen Changbing looked at the Ding Zhuang soldiers around him, their eyes were dull and their faces were dull, and he had a bad premonition.

All kinds of rewards, promises of promotion and wealth, and threats of using officers and soldiers to be cruel, Chen Changzhu has already used it all over the place, and now there is really no way to improve the morale of these people.

Chen Changbing thought to himself: Is it my turn to leave Maicheng today as "Second Guan Gong"?

The war drum of "Dong Dong" sounded again, but for both the enemy and us, it has long been used to it, and it has no inspirational effect.

The officers and soldiers once again launched an attack on the Xishan camp with siege equipment such as ladders, Chong chariots, nest chariots, and Linchong Lu Gong chariots.
