please make me king

Chapter 277

Zhang Shun pondered for a long time, worried about the [-] people under Chen Changzhu's command.He called Zhang Sanbai, Jiang He, and Li Jiyu over and said, "I'm quite disturbed. I don't know why. After thinking about it, it should be that there may be something wrong with Chen Changliang. The three of you are dominated by Jiang He." , and the other two are deputy, quickly lead people to the camp in Licheng County to look for Chen Changliang."

"After catching up with Chen Changbing, the three of you will obey Chen Changbing for the time being. Safety is the main priority in everything, and you must not provoke other officers and soldiers along the way."

Jiang He, Zhang Sanbai and Li Jiyu were ordered to retreat after hearing the words, and led more than a thousand infantrymen under their command to go back the same way, chasing after Chen Changzhu, while Zhang Shun led the eight hundred cavalry under his command to meet the second leader." Zijin Liang".

Zhang Shun originally planned to send the two civil servants Zhang Shenyan and Xu Ziyuan back, but Zhang Shenyan objected: "The battlefield is dangerous and ever-changing, where is there no danger? Although I am old, I can still ride a bad horse. I am willing to follow the general. Let’s go together. If I unfortunately die on the battlefield, it’s only my own bad luck.”

Xu Ziyuan originally wanted to retreat, but after hearing what Zhang Shenyan said, he had no choice but to agree with him: "Since he has followed the lord, Ziyuan dare not abandon the lord."

Zhang Shun saw that the two were firm, so he didn't stick to his point of view anymore, so he ordered them to be equipped with horses and let them accompany them.

As for Li Sanniang and Zhu'er, Zhang Shun didn't mention the matter of letting them go, neither of them said anything, just got on their horses and followed Zhang Shun.As the saying goes, "Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog", since the two have married Zhang Shun, their whole life is tied to Zhang Shun, and they can only live and die together.

After Zhang Shun separated from his infantry, he himself didn't know if there was any danger, where the danger came from, and he didn't even know whether his decision was right or wrong. He could only resign himself to fate.

Zhang Shun looked at the setting sun that was about to fall, and thought to himself: I don’t know if my dazzling operation is useful, maybe from the perspective of the sky, it looks like an ant running around without a head, meaningless.

The next morning, shortly after Zhang Shun arrived in Yushe County, he received an early warning from scouts reporting that a large number of cavalry were coming.

Zhang Shun hurriedly ordered his soldiers to get ready, but finally found out that it was a false alarm. It turned out to be the second master "Zijin Liang".

After the two met, Zhang Shun found that the second master "Zijin Liang" looked depressed, dusty and disheveled.

Zhang Shun asked why, "Zijin Liang" slapped his thigh, and sighed, "My brother had bad luck today, and met the dog officer 'Da Cao'. These two are the most treacherous and vicious. Although I have already sent scouts to patrol, In the end, there was still a sneak attack by this dog official. My family was caught off guard and was defeated, so it was defeated here."

Zhang Shun couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, and said: "This 'big and small Cao' is Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew, right? How many troops did these two bring to defeat the second leader?"

Although the second leader "Zijinliang" suffered a lot of defeats, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command is also resounding, otherwise the thirty-six battalion volunteers would not have elected this person as the leader of the alliance.

Although this person has been deflated many times before, he basically didn't suffer much damage, but this time he was attacked by "big and small Cao" and even abandoned his infantry. Vigorous?

"Zijin Liang" replied in embarrassment when he heard the words: "It happened suddenly, I saw officers, soldiers and cavalry everywhere, and I don't know how many troops there are on the other side!"

Zhang Shun was quite speechless when he heard the words, the second leader "Zijin Liang" was also a man who knew how to fight, but in the end he didn't even know the truth about the enemy, not to mention the defeat of "Big and Big Cao".

Therefore, Zhang Shun joined forces with the second leader "Zijinliang" and stationed at the junction of Liaozhou and Yushe County to gather the defeated rebels.It's just that Cao Wenzhao brought cavalry this time, and the infantry under "Zijinliang" suffered heavy losses. Except for the death, injury, and separation, the more than ten thousand troops only gathered about [-], and the infantry actually lost More than half.

"Zijinliang" and Zhang Shun had nearly [-] cavalry in total, but they didn't know the reality of Cao Wenzhao, and they didn't dare to stay for long. Seeing that the infantry was almost gathered, the two cautiously led the troops all the way south, preparing to return Licheng County Camp.

As a result, the two had just marched to the border of Licheng County, when they suddenly saw a person coming on a flying horse, it was none other than Li Jiyu, who Zhang Shun had sent to Chen Changzhu's camp before, Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

Sure enough, he saw that this person was covered in blood and was very embarrassed, and he rushed all the way to Zhang Shun.Then he jumped off his horse, plopped and knelt down in front of Zhang Shun, and cried out, "My lord, I waited for several people to entrust me with failure, but I was overtaken by the officers, soldiers and cavalry. You fought to the death for half a day, but you couldn't resist, and now the whole army is defeated. My lord The newly recruited [-] horses are all like weeds, they were hacked and killed by the officers and soldiers, their blood flowed into rivers, and their corpses piled up like mountains!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but blacken his eyes, and almost fainted on the spot.Fortunately, he knew that he was not acting on his own will at this time, so he suppressed complex emotions such as anger, shock, worry and fear, calmed down, and shouted expressionlessly: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, how can you shout?" , with a broken heart?"

At this time, Zhang Shun remembered that this fellow had actually revealed the news of the defeat in public, and one mistake would be the end of the army's morale being shaken.

Fortunately, Zhang Shun was quite quick-witted, so he quickly winked at him, and changed his words: "Before you leave, I have warned you to be careful in everything and pay attention to everything. How can you be careless and suffer a loss? I will expose you if you are careful." Skin!"

At the beginning, Li Jiyu was upset because of the big defeat, so he made a slip of the tongue and made a fuss.This fellow likes to make friends with guests in the village, and he is a first-class level in observing words and demeanor. Seeing Zhang Shun's expression, he knew that he had committed a taboo.

Then he quickly stabilized his emotions and explained: "It was a slip of the tongue, and I was a little panicked when I encountered a big defeat for the first time. There are many enemy cavalry, and it is difficult for me to wait for the infantry. Now I have suffered a bit and retreated to a hill. Stand firm and wait for help, and please send troops early to rescue others."

Only then did Zhang Shun nod his head, and shouted: "Just write down what happened, come with me and drink some water! Then tell me the details of the battle, and I'll make a fuss about it."

How could Li Jiyu dare to disobey when he heard the words?Even the second master "Zijinliang" heard the news and rushed over.

In the name of letting Li Jiyu rest for a while, Zhang Shun asked the team to stop temporarily to stabilize the morale of the army.

At this time, when we reached a remote place, Li Jiyu knelt down and said, "My lord, it was my fault just now, please punish me!"

"Stop talking nonsense, and quickly tell me what happened and the loss of our army!" Zhang Shun shouted impatiently.
