please make me king

Chapter 366 Distress
Difficult to return, Zhang Shun couldn't just let it go, he was angry and made up his mind to hit them hard to show his anger.

When "King Chuang" and "General Chuang" hurried back in a mess, they were somewhat embarrassed to see Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun is not like that mother-in-law, so he cut straight to the point: "Food is the most important thing for the people. Even if we have all kinds of abilities and all kinds of helplessness, we can't let the rebels starve. If not, we won't fight without waiting for the officers and soldiers to attack." It's broken!"

"King Chuang" was speechless, so he cupped his hands and said, "King Shun is benevolent and righteous, he doesn't care about grievances, he came from thousands of miles to help, Gao is very grateful!"

"It's just that the rebel army only occupies this source of aid, and the food has already been looted, and we are helpless. If King Shun has something to do, just say it, as long as we can do it, there will be no answer!"

Zhang Shun was waiting for his words, so he said with a distressed look: "God is not open this year, there is a severe drought in Shanxi, the people are in dire straits, and the price of food is soaring. I have a lot of connections, and I can transport food from other places, but this way People eat horse chews, plus merchants profit, the price is really low!"

The rebels don't care much about the easy money they get.The "King Chuang" heard that Zhang Shun had a solution, and quickly responded: "There are not many other things in the rebel army, but there are a lot of things outside of this body. You make a price, how much food is there, how much our rebel army wants! "

In fact, Zhang Shun has no connections, since his cheap father-in-law, Li Baihu, has not yet brought grain over since the last time he delivered five thousand shi of grain.

Fortunately, because Yijun and Zhang Shun fell out last time, he saved a lot of food and grass for him. In addition, Hong Niangzi worked hard to manage the house, produced some from Shunwangping and Shengwangping, and bought some daily. Make up three or four thousand stones.

Zhang Shun smiled and said, "It's so easy to say, ten taels of silver for one stone, I'll have someone send you two thousand first."

"Okay, it's a deal!" "Chuang Wang" was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he didn't even bargain.This made Zhang Shun regret it immediately, but he forgot to quote a few taels more.

It turned out that in normal seasons, the price of grain was only a little over one or two taels per shi, and at most it was no more than two or two taels. Zhang Shun's mouth has increased seven or eight times.It's just that when the rebel army is dying, how can they care about it?

Before Zhang Shun blackmailed big households in the city in Zezhou, he only got out three to four thousand taels.He has invested a lot in raising soldiers and training soldiers, buying armor and weapons, and building camps this year, and he has already almost exhausted his expenses.

Now that he got this windfall again, Zhang Shun also likes it quite a lot.Even for a while, he had the idea of ​​simply letting his father-in-law Li Baihu buy food everywhere, and act as a second-hand dealer to sell it to the rebels to make a fortune.

Fortunately, Zhang Shun is soberly aware of the rule of "If you have a gun, you are the king of grass" in troubled times, without the guarantee of force, no matter how much money you have in your hands, it is nothing more than making wedding dresses for others.

The two sides had decided on a plan, Zhang Shun quickly ordered Li Jiyu to lead the troops back to the camp to stabilize the morale of the army, and at the same time rectify the troops to fight against the officers and soldiers.

After Li Jiyu brought in food and grass, the morale of the rebel army improved a little. Zhang Shun ordered the "Chuang Wang" and "Chuang General" to lead the elite to cover the battlefield, and he personally led his troops to attack Wanzi City, trying to break through the Tianjing Pass.

However, Li Bei, the deputy general of Yansui, had taken precautions, and the terrain of Tianjingguan was dangerous.Zhang Shun ordered Li Shi'an to bombard him with more than a dozen cannons for three days, but failed to attack.

It wasn't until Zhang Shun got the news that Cao Wenzhao led a large army to help that he retreated in advance to avoid being taken advantage of by the officers and soldiers.

This time, Zhang Shun's plan was very thorough, but he was still frustrated by Wanzi City.The other leaders of the rebel army understood the current predicament and did not complain, but the morale of the rebel army was still low.

Just as Zhang Shun was about to regroup and think about countermeasures, Chen Changbing from Shunwangping camp sent another message.

For some reason, Cao Wenzhao discovered the Shengwangping camp and launched a surprise attack, causing heavy losses to the camp.Cao Wenzhao followed the defeated troops to Shunwangping, and Chen Changzhu personally led the team to defend, and had already repelled three attacks by the officers and soldiers.

However, in view of the strength of the officers and soldiers and the large number of people, I am afraid that it will not last long. I hope that Zhang Shun will return as soon as possible to repel Cao Wenzhao.

Zhang Shun couldn't help being taken aback, his camp was quite secretive, no one else knew about it except for a few rebels, how did it leak?

For a while, Zhang Shun suspected that other leaders of the rebel army deliberately leaked to Cao Wenzhao in retaliation for not fighting with Cao Wenzhao, which caused the rebel army to be flanked back and forth.

Although at the beginning, one was because of his lack of strength and was unwilling to provoke Cao Wenzhao, and the other was because Cao Wenzhao had fought against himself and did not want to provoke his own bad luck.But they couldn't hold back the darkness of their hearts, and some people hated themselves for it.

Zhang Shun knew that now was not the time to worry about this, so he kept it in his heart for the time being.He hurriedly summoned Zhang Shenyan and Song Xiance to weigh the pros and cons, and then summoned Jiang He and ordered him to return to the camp with five hundred swordsmen.Let him help the camp contain Cao Wenzhao's attack, and wait for the opportunity to assist the entire camp to retreat to the vicinity of Jiyuan through Yuanqu.

After another ten days, Zhang Shun still failed to make much progress in the military.At this time, the Shunwangping camp was evacuated to Jiyuan together.

Although they had lost a lot before, there were still seven or eight thousand troops, plus the seven or eight thousand rebels, Zhang Shun had more than three thousand soldiers.Nearly [-] people gathered in this small Jiyuan City, and the pressure on food and grass increased sharply.

The red lady, Li Sanniang, and Li Xiang all rushed over together, all of them looked unhappy.Li Xiang has just moved into a new home, but the "home" is gone; Li Sanniang rushed over in a hurry; not to mention the red lady, every grass, tree, brick and tile in King Shun's lawn was arranged by her personally. , and now it's all gone.Can you imagine how they feel?
Zhang Shun hastily appeased them again and again, and managed to stabilize their situation, but the morale of the rebel army inevitably suffered a second setback.

At this time, Zhang Shun finally understood what was said in "Sun Tzu's Art of War": "Which master has the right way? From this we will know the outcome." What does that mean.

Now the weather is cold and cold, which is not conducive to war; the rebel army is barely cooperating, and they can't use their arms like arms; there are many officers and soldiers, but the rebel army is few; , the rebel army will be defeated in this battle, and it is beyond human power!
How to do?Fight if you can beat it, leave if you can't beat it!As the saying goes, "If you keep the green hills, you won't worry about no firewood", which is exactly what it means.

Zhang Shunsui wanted to quit.It's just that the rebel army is facing the enemy three times now, and only the south of the Yellow River is where the defense of officers and soldiers is weak.

It's just that the officers and soldiers had expected this place long ago and cleaned up the boats on both sides of the Yellow River. Now there are not even half a boat on the river.
