please make me king

Chapter 295 Pursuit
Zhang Shun thought that Deng Qi was going to take the opportunity to enter Huaiqing Prefecture, and escaped from birth.In the end, he didn't expect this fellow to delay for a while under the Huaiqing Mansion, and went directly around the city.

Zhang Shun was stunned for a moment, only saying that there was fraud in it.He quickly ordered the cavalry under his command to stay away from Huaiqing Mansion carefully, for fear that the city gate would suddenly open in the mansion and attack his cavalry.

As a result, until Zhang Shun and his cavalry had bypassed the Huaiqing Mansion City, the gates of the four cities were still tightly closed.

After Zhang Shun heaved a sigh of relief, he couldn't help wondering in his heart: "Why doesn't the city accept this generation of Deng Qi?"

Following him were Li Xin and Wukong, Wukong didn't know anything, he just laughed and said nonsense: "Perhaps there is no rice in the city, so I can't bear to let them beat the autumn wind!"

Zhang Shun was not willing to listen to his nonsense, he just turned his head to look at Li Xin.Then Li Xin was originally from the Huaiqing Mansion, and he was most familiar with this place.He pondered for a while, and couldn't help chuckling: "Wukong is very spiritual. Although such remarks may not be true, I'm afraid I guessed it right."

"It must be that Deng Qi's military discipline is poor, and there are vassals in Huaiqing Mansion. The magistrate in the city has two fears: one is afraid that I will take advantage of the opportunity to enter, and the other is that Deng Qi will disturb the place when he enters the city, so he will not accept it behind closed doors!"

When Zhang Shun heard the words, he suddenly realized that his feelings were that the military discipline of the officers and soldiers was so poor that even the local officials of Ming Dynasty couldn't bear it.

In his previous life, he had been swayed by the concept of "people's soldiers", and his thinking often stayed on the "military and civilian fish and water situation". Didn't he know that the military and civilians of the Ming Dynasty were already like enemies, and even when Li Zicheng prospered in later generations, he even issued special orders to suppress soldiers Anmin's order.

Of course, Zhang Shun still doesn't know what will happen to Li Zicheng in the future, but he likes seeing the discord between the soldiers and the people of the Ming Dynasty.But this made Deng Qi suffer, he fled all the way, scolding all the way, wishing to smash the prefect of Huaiqing Prefecture into thousands of pieces.

However, Zhang Shun and others pursued him closely, and several times the arrows that flew in were nailed to his helmet. Fortunately, the helmet was strong, so he was not killed on the spot.

Deng Qi couldn't escape, so he had to send an eloquent confidant, turned around and tried to persuade Zhang Shun, saying: "The second master is wise and powerful, and uses soldiers like a god, but my general is convinced. It's just that the second master doesn't hear that 'stay on the front line when doing things, and in the future Good to meet' reason?"

Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the words: "Then Deng Qi is neither a relative of my family, nor a capable minister and sage. I slaughter him like a dog's ear, so why the future?"

The confidant was not annoyed when he heard the words, instead he said with a smile: "The imperial court is full of talented people, after all, there are only a few incompetent people like my general. If the general persecutes too much, my general will die in battle. In the future, the imperial court will inevitably send famous generals again. Wouldn't it be too late for the second master of the time to regret it?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing and said: "You have sharp teeth and eloquence. You will do everything you can to convince me to spare Deng Qi's life!"

"What a pity, what a pity! You have come to Huaiqing Mansion, have you not heard about the story of Yugong moving mountains? Now the Ming court is crumbling. One less general. In this way, within a few years, the Ming Dynasty will be over!"

"If you are sensible, why don't you persuade that Deng Qi to surrender to me as soon as possible, and it will be a good talk!"

Deng Qi's confidant almost vomited blood when he heard the words, and couldn't help cursing: "Zhang Jiao Huang Chao's generation, dare to boast like this? Humiliated my general. I am not afraid of being defeated and dying, and will be stigmatized for thousands of years!"

The two were arguing like this, but Deng Qi couldn't stand it anymore.He turned his head and saw his cronies talking and laughing happily with the "Second Master" from a distance, and he couldn't help but angrily said: "Whether it's successful or not, report it quickly! When life and death are at stake, how can you talk nonsense with thieves regardless of the severity?"

Deng Qi's confidant couldn't argue with what he said, so he retreated in embarrassment, patted his horse and hurried forward, trying to catch up with Deng Qi and report the letter.

When Zhang Shun waited for the trusted aide to approach Deng Qi's team, he gave the order: "Where is Brother Chen, let me shoot this man!"

Chen Changzhu was taken aback when he heard it from a distance, but he didn't have time to inquire, so he had to act according to the order, drew his bow and set an arrow, and the arrow hit the heart of Deng Qi's confidant.The man shook the horse three times and fell off the horse.

Seeing this, Deng Qi couldn't help being furious, and scolded: "Cowardless, despicable and shameless! Since ancient times, the two armies have fought each other, and envoys have not been beheaded. Is the second leader so narrow-minded, how can he not tolerate an envoy?"

Zhang Shun is not afraid now, never afraid, he is afraid that the rebel army will be ordered to safety by the officers and soldiers, so he deliberately made such a bad move to anger Deng Qi.So when he heard the words, he laughed and said: "The two armies meet, and if they don't kill each other, the two sides just want to talk about peace."

"Now you and I are officials, and we are bandits. Since ancient times, officials and bandits have been incompatible, and the king's career has not favored peace. If this is the case, there is only war between us. How can we use emissaries?"

Deng Qi's teeth were about to be crushed, but he had no choice but to swallow it into his stomach.In his heart, he secretly said cruelly: "If I escape today, I will definitely not forgive a thief to repay today's humiliation!"

The two sides chased and fled, and it was evening.There are fewer and fewer soldiers around Deng Qi, and he is about to be captured alive by Zhang Shun and others.

But he heard a commotion ahead, and an army came out from the forest.Deng Qi turned pale with shock, and said, "My life is over."As a result, when he looked up, it was the banner of Zuo Liangyu, the chief soldier of Changping, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help being taken aback, he didn't expect that there were righteous men among the officers and soldiers who would take the initiative to rescue Deng Qi.

The two sides held each other for a period of time, and found that the other party's strength was not enough to annex the other party in an instant, so they felt a little relieved.

Deng Qi fled to Zuo Liangyu's army in a panic, and hurriedly begged: "Thank you Kunshan for your rescue. Now that there are few bandits and soldiers, and the journey is tiring, it's time to relax and wait for work. Please send troops quickly, a great achievement is just around the corner. .”

This Kunshan is the name of Zuo Liangyu, and for future generations this guy is a typical example of the warlords of the Ming Dynasty, "When the friendly army is in trouble, it will not move like a mountain; when the enemy army comes, it will turn like the wind".It's just that at this time, he still has a little bit of loyalty in his heart, and he still cares about the friendship of his comrades, so he came to rescue.

However, it would be impossible for him to draw chestnuts out of the fire.That Zuo Liangyu suffered a big loss at the hands of the Erdangjia, Zhang Shun and "Chuang Jiang" last time, so he is much more cautious.

Now he has only [-] elite troops under his command, relying on the terrain, he can still resist the rebel cavalry raid.If you are greedy for merit and rush forward, wouldn't you be looking for a dead end?At that time, even Hou Xun will not be able to save himself.

So, he just shook his head and said: "The thieves are all cavalry, and we are infantry. If you attack rashly, if you win, you will not be able to catch up; if you lose, you will have nowhere to go. I will not do it. If Deng Zongbing If you have the heart, please gather your soldiers and horses and fight again at another day."

Seeing that Zuo Liangyu didn't have many troops under his command, Zhang Shun stepped forward to challenge him personally, saying, "I've heard of the two generals' names. They are famous generals, and they have won the top three armies. Now I specially bring troops here, and I would like to fight with you." It's a duel between the two."
