please make me king

Chapter 504 Subduing Song County

Song County is about to go down, which is beyond Zhang Shun's expectation.Originally, he was planning to wait for Cao Bianjiao to finish setting up camp in Yique, and then find time to attack the city himself.

Now that Song County has fallen, Zhang Shun cannot sit peacefully in Luoyang Mansion.Song County is extremely important to Zhang Shun's strategy of defending Luoyang, and it is necessary to send reliable people to defend Luoyang in order to be safe.

As for Cao Bianjiao, as a new general who joined Zhang Shun's command, being able to let him lead the army is already Zhang Shun's greatest trust in him.

If you don't keep him by your side to monitor, but send him outside to guard one side, there's no guarantee that he won't turn against him at a critical moment!
It's just that who can replace Cao Bianjiao and guard one side, Zhang Shun murmured in his heart.

Although Xiao Qinhu is his righteous brother, he has never had the chance to make meritorious service, let alone leading soldiers and officers and soldiers to strive for self-improvement, Zhang Quanchang is facing each other across the Yellow River.

As his right-hand man, Zhang Shenyan couldn't leave for a moment.Song Xiance, as his master planner, has no ability to govern other than some strategies.

After much deliberation, the only way to do this is to send a military general to match with a civil servant.

At present, Zhang Sanbai, Liu Cheng, Jiang He, He Jin, He Yilong, Zhao Lizi and others are still in front of his generals. Both the "King of Governing Times" and "King of Troubled Times" followed Xiao Qinhu to defend the officers and soldiers in Mengjin, unable to escape for the time being.

Zhang Sanbai had the experience of replacing himself in command twice, and he was the general that Zhang Shun planned to train vigorously, so he was not going to release him for the time being.

After thinking about it, only Liu Cheng, who has made great achievements, is the most suitable.Not only has enough military exploits to deter the gentry and students who are about to move in Song County, but also has a high probability of cavalry with relatively high mobility to support Luoyang.

After thinking up to this point, Zhang Shun smiled and said to Zhang Shenyan: "Cao and Xu are really good at it. Now that Song County has been demolished, maybe I have to leave."

Zhang Shenyan has been in the officialdom for many years, so he doesn't know what Zhang Shun is thinking.This is clearly worried that Cao Bianjiao and Xu Quan will separate from each other and get out of their control.

Therefore, Zhang Shenyan nodded and said with a smile: "It's as it should be, but the lord still needs to be careful. I don't know who the lord wants to bring to the road, so as to avoid accidents on the way!"

Zhang Shenyan's question made sense, and Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing: "Luoyang City is related to the foundation of our rebel army, so we can't be careless. Please, Mr. Zhang, pay more attention. This time, I'm going to lead my soldiers and Liu Cheng’s cavalry will go to Song County, and they will return in three or two days at the earliest, and return in four or five days at the slowest!”

Liu Cheng's bald and pockmarked face immediately appeared in Zhang Shenyan's mind, and he couldn't help saying happily: "This person really has that talent, it's rare that the master has blue eyes!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help but smiled at Zhang Shenyan, and said, "The one who knows me is Yafu!"

It was a hundred and sixty miles from Luoyang City to Songxian County. Zhang Shun galloped lightly and arrived at Songxian County in only one and a half days.

Cao Bianjiao and Xu Quan didn't know why, so they couldn't help being surprised.As for Fu Yuren, student Liu Yuejiang, and Wei Zhiyou, the guard, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they were even more touched because of Zhang Shun's attitude of attaching so much importance to them.

Although Fu Yuren, Liu Yuejiang and Wei Zhiyou are not great talents, they are all experienced people.

They quickly ordered people to slaughter pigs, sheep, chickens, geese, assorted fruits and vegetables, and some wine to entertain Zhang Shun and his generals.Although the rest of the soldiers were not rich enough, they all had a piece of meat and a bowl of wine.

In reciprocation, Zhang Shun pulled Fu Yuren and Liu Yuejiang respectively at the banquet and said: "I have admired the two for a long time, why is the magistrate here now? I respect him as a person, and it is inconvenient to talk to the two more."

"I heard that the people in the county say that the two are the right-hand men of He Fu, the magistrate. Without the assistance of these two, He Fu, the magistrate, might not be able to hold on to the city of Song County and become famous for the rest of his life!"

Although the two knew that Zhang Shun was only a few polite words, but these few words just tickled their itch.

The two of them were born as literati, and they had always envied the treatment given by Liu Huangshu's three-gu thatched cottage. Seeing Zhang Shun's sincerity, they couldn't help feeling the urge to "die for a confidant".

Everyone understands the principle of "everyone carries the sedan chair", so Fu Yuren and Liu Yuejiang also quickly praised: "The general has done such a great thing at such a young age, and he may not be able to achieve something in the future."

What "merit"?Everyone knew it well, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

Seeing Zhang Shun talking and laughing with literati Fu Yuren and Liu Yuejiang, Wei Zhiyou couldn't help feeling upset.He thought to himself: "I am in charge of the army. If it hadn't been for my lord to surrender, how could you, King Shun, enter the city so easily and be happy?"

He had no choice but to pour a few bowls of wine, and confronted Cao Bianjiao.After pouring seven or eight bowls to each other, they became a little tipsy and their steps became unsteady.

Seeing that the timing was almost up, Zhang Shun asked Xu Quan to come on top, said "Excuse me for a moment", and walked over with a bowl of wine.

Seeing that it was Zhang Shun, Wei Zhiyou asked unhappily, "Why did King Shun come so late?"

At the beginning of the siege, Zhang Shun didn't come, and Wei Zhiyou asked the question knowingly, with a double meaning.

Knowing what he meant, Zhang Shun laughed and said, "General Wei made a mistake today! It's not that King Shun is late, but you are late!"

"Warriors of my generation are impatient with the red tape of literati. I always come straight to my heart and go straight to my heart. Leading troops in battle only rely on strong armor and sharp blades, and soldiers use their lives. There is no hypocrisy. If General Wei is not here, don't wait until I come to attack the city. I'm afraid Song County will no longer exist when 'Chuang Jiang' is here! General Wei is indeed the mainstay of Song County."

"I've been looking forward to seeing General Wei for a long time. Now that General Wei has turned his back on him, Zhang is overjoyed. He personally led Qingqi for more than a hundred miles a day, just to see General Wei's ears!"

"Now that we meet each other, General Wei is still majestic. I don't like the county town of Song, but I don't like the general! If General Wei is willing to fight with Zhang, why worry about the world? Let me offer the general a bowl of wine and express my heart !"

When Zhang Shun spoke, Wei Zhiyou almost burst into tears.He took advantage of his drunkenness and said, "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and King Shun knows me!" Then he drank it down.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but gave a thumbs up, said "yes", and drank it all in one gulp.

Wei Zhiyou also finished his wine, and the grievance in his heart dissipated. Instead, he thought about it for Zhang Shun, and asked with some concern: "I was originally under the command of 'Chuang Jiang', but I surrendered after being sentenced, and now I'm with King Shun. He If Huang Lai'er, the 'Crossing General', finds out, wouldn't it be difficult for King Shun?"

The reason is such a reason, and the words are such words.It's just that Zhang Shun has made "Chuang Jiang" unhappy, and there are not many things like him.

So, Zhang Shun said with a smile: "A man was born in the world, and he does things based on his heart. I, King Shun, do what I do. How can I look forward to the future? Brother Wei, put your heart in your stomach. Huang Lai'er has something to say, but Talk to me!"
