please make me king

Chapter 358 Support Mengmen
Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao are uncles and nephews, how can they punish him for such a trivial matter?Cao Bianjiao also knew this, but he just made a gesture to deceive others.

Cao Wenzhao inquired about Cao Bianjiao's battle process in detail, then pondered for a while and said: "There are capable people among the thieves. The thieves will definitely be unprepared for this surprise attack of my own way. Deng Qi and I will attack back and forth, and we will definitely succeed." This is a great achievement. Looking at it now, although this pass is not strong, the victory lies in the decisive and resolute defense. You can't make great achievements here without using artillery."

"It's just that after our army came to the west, they mostly engaged in field battles. Where can we use artillery? If there are Hongyi cannons here, within a few days, I will definitely raze this pass to the ground and wipe out this generation!" Cao Bianjiao Said indignantly.

"This is Shanxi, which has been rich in gold and iron since ancient times. Zhaosheng, the king of military preparation in southern Hebei, fought many times with bandits. He must have artillery in his hands. Take someone to borrow it and say good things. He will definitely lend it to you. "

"Although this kind of artillery is not as good as the Hongyi cannon, and it can be used for dozens of miles, it can also be used with large ones, which is more than enough to break through this barrier." Cao Wenzhao laughed when he heard this.

Cao Bianjiao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly took Cao Wenzhao's warrant, resigned from the camp, and went northward to Nalingchuan.

When Wang Zhaosheng saw Cao Bianjiao coming, he was deeply impressed by their virtue of entering the Jin Dynasty to suppress bandits. He really gave him a good reception, and he responded to his requests and spoke well.

Cao Bianjiao was not polite, and went directly into his camp to pick and choose, selected seven or eight artillery pieces with larger diameters, and seconded some artillerymen, some young and strong, and worked together to transport the artillery to the valley.

The road in the valley was difficult, and it took Cao Bianjiao seven or five days of effort to transport the cannons to the rebels' pass.

Standing on the top of the pass, Li Xin was shocked when he saw the officers and soldiers' artillery from a distance.

His Guanzhai is no different from ordinary cities, it is built by picking rocks and felling trees, if it is hacked by an axe, it will not be afraid at all.Just bombarded with artillery, its strength is not as strong as the rammed earth city wall.

Sure enough, the officers and soldiers ignited the artillery, and stone chips flew horizontally under the cannonball.There is no rammed earth to absorb the energy of shells through deformation, and these stones are easily broken by shells, causing damage to the city wall.

Li Xin quickly called his soldiers and ordered them to return to the camp of the rebel army as soon as possible to report to Zhang Shun.

But after all, Li Xin led the army for the first time, and he was not skilled enough in using troops.Cao Wenzhao had expected that the rebel army would do this, and had already dispatched dozens of elite men to cross the mountains and ridges, sneak into the pass, and specifically intercept and kill the messengers.

At the beginning, Li Xin didn't know about it, but he just reported back for a long time and no one returned, so he became suspicious.

So, Li Xin simply found a dozen or so good players, and delivered the letter to Daying again.This time the two sides fought fiercely, and finally one person escaped with his life, so the letter was handed over to Zhang Shun.

It is said that Zhang Shun was shocked when he got the news.After he checked the letter carefully, he realized that if Li Xin hadn't delayed for so long, the rebel army might have been pinched back and forth by Cao Wenzhao and Deng Qi, and would have been defeated without a fight.

Zhang Shun quickly reorganized the army, carrying the main force, and traveled day and night, and arrived at the Yazikou Inspection Department late that night.

The inspectors and archers in the inspection department have long since collapsed, and they don't know where they fled.By the way, Zhang ordered someone to clean up briefly and rest here.

This place is not far from Mengmen Pass. At dawn the next day, Zhang Shun ordered others to prepare to set up a camp, and at the same time personally led more than a thousand elites to Zixia Pass to check.

When Zhang Shun arrived, Guan Guan was fighting.Zhang Shun hurriedly led Wukong and Wang Jinyi to the city to help in the battle. After killing the officers and soldiers, Li Xin came to pay his respects in armor and covered in blood.

Zhang Shun almost didn't recognize this person when he saw it.In the past, Li Xin had a white robe and a silver gun, and his appearance was majestic, and he was a first-class figure at a glance.

Now this Li Xin has a smudged face, red eyes and disheveled armor, he looks like a beggar soldier.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel his exhaustion, patted him on the shoulder, and praised him with satisfaction: "You did a good job, you really have the qualifications of a famous general!"

Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't care less about joy, but just shouted in grief: "My lord, the trust soldiers are not good, and the soldiers under his command have suffered heavy losses, please punish them!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun looked up and saw that the checkpoint had already been bombarded by officers and soldiers and had collapsed in many places, and even the gun platform on the left was destroyed.

Above the checkpoint, corpses are everywhere.There are officers and soldiers, as well as rebel troops. At a rough look, there must be three or four hundred people.

Zhang Shunzhi and Li Xin often read the books of sages and sages, and they have always been benevolent and righteous.He couldn't help saying with emotion: "General Li, you are also a benevolent person just like me! It's just that kindness doesn't command soldiers. If you care about each soldier, you can only have one general who is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops!"

"When I first started using soldiers, if I lost one soldier or another under my command, I would be in trouble all night. When I killed more and more officers and soldiers, and the loss of the rebel army increased, my heart became more and more difficult to be at peace! Until Lingchuan In the battle, the soldiers used their strength to kill the enemy bravely, and defeated the governor of Shanxi Song Tongyin in one fell swoop, and only then did I know what massacre is!"

"The benevolence of a general is not the same as that of the common people. The benevolence of ordinary people is that they cannot bear to see their deaths. The benevolence of generals is that the winner is king and the loser is killed. In the battle of Lingchuan, the corpses of officers and soldiers were scattered all over the field, and blood flowed Rivers formed, vegetation was flooded, and mountains and rivers were stained. Only then did I know that a defeated general is the most inhumane!"

"Today's general has gone through all kinds of hardships to fight for a chance of life for our rebel army, so that more than ten thousand husbands, children, grandchildren, and parents survived. Isn't this a kind and righteous thing?"

Li Xin felt a little relieved when he heard this.He used to go in and out of Zhang Shun's behind the scenes, he didn't see the fighting on the battlefield, he didn't know how cruel it was, so he couldn't help but be greatly touched.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel moved, and said with a smile: "General Li, now you have done your best to achieve the ultimate. Why bother to hurt the spring and the autumn? Why don't you watch me repel the enemy's million soldiers with one word, so that all the soldiers are spared Difficult!"

Li Xin had just used Zhang Shun's "Talk Thaumaturgy" a few days ago, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Xin, listen carefully!"

Zhang Shun laughed when he heard the words, and led his guards towards Guanshang, and shouted to Guanshang: "Which general is leading the team under the city? Can you listen to me!"

After a while, someone below replied arrogantly: "I am Cao Bianjiao, who are you? Do you want to kneel down to me and beg for mercy?" After speaking, he burst out laughing.

Zhang Shun was neither angry nor angry, and waited until Cao Bianjiao finished laughing before saying: "There are such funny things in the world, but it's a pity that Deng Qi has no chance to enjoy them!"

"how do I say this?"

Zhang Shun gave Wukong a look, and said with a slight smile, "If a soldier is defeated and dies, if he can laugh, isn't Deng Qi a ghost?"

After speaking, Wukong quickly asked his soldiers to hold up the armor and head that had captured Deng Qi's banner, which had been raised by the spear.

Zhang Shun pointed to Deng Qi's head and said with a smile: "I am the king of Shun, and I know very well that you will bring a large army here just to see this man. I am naturally soft-hearted, and I am afraid that you will never be able to see each other." See, I purposely brought you here to meet you!"
