please make me king

Chapter 522
The officers and soldiers were defeated in another battle, so they hurriedly gathered the soldiers and retreated to the camp, never daring to go out to fight in waves again.

The rebels took the opportunity to sweep the battlefield and capture the scattered soldiers.After the battle, the loot was counted, and a total of [-] armors, [-] helmets, [-] bird guns, and other spears, bows and arrows, and various fire guns and artillery were seized. Countless, six hundred and seventy-three officers and soldiers were captured.

The loss of officers and soldiers before and after is estimated to be around [-], and the rebel army returned with a complete victory.

Wei Zhiyou and Cao Bianjiao were watching heartily in the city. After picking up Zhang Shun, he said, "Congratulations, my lord (general)! Congratulations to my lord (general), you have returned with a great victory! It's just the next battle, and I hope that our brothers will be defeated as soon as possible." Two people! Otherwise, it’s really not fun to watch.”

Zhang Shun laughed, and replied: "Don't worry, as a general, are you afraid that you won't be able to fight without a battle? After a while, everyone will pick and choose from the captured armor and weapons, and choose some usable ones to use for now."

"I guess the officers and soldiers will not dare to go out for a day or two after this big defeat. You just go and call for me, and I will give you credit for calling the officers and soldiers!"

After that, the rebels slaughtered pigs and sheep in Yongning County, and held a celebration banquet.

At the banquet, Zhang Shun specially called Ren Jirong over, filled a bowl of wine for him, and said with a smile: "Good boy, amazing! My righteous brother Xiao Qinhu has reported your credit to me truthfully, you are not only The first victory of the 'Baby Camp' is also the first victory of this battle!"

"Let's drink this cup to the brim! I've asked the master to record the credit for you, and the reward silver will be distributed to you tomorrow. When you have accumulated enough credit, I will take you from my brother-in-law and come with me. How was the day?"

Ren Jirong was overjoyed when he heard the words. Although he came to the Rebel Army not long ago, he had already found out.Whenever he is promoted, he has to study and train with Zhang Shun for a period of time.

Now the lord is politely saying that he wants to go there, what does Ren Jirong not understand?

He quickly picked up the wine bowl, gulped down the wine, wiped his mouth, knelt down and shouted: "May I die for my lord!"

Zhang Shun laughed, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said to the crowd: "Rewards are meritorious, punishments are demerits, orders must be executed! As long as the soldiers use their lives, there is nothing in the world!"

Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers couldn't help being a little envious, and quickly shouted: "I wish to die for the lord (general)!"

It was not until many of the generals were drunk that Xiao Qinhu sneaked up to Zhang Shun and said in a low voice, "My lord, although we won this battle, it is not enough to boast. The foundation of the officers and soldiers is still intact, and their strength is still there. We will discard them." Regardless of Luoyang City, if you come here, you will not be able to stay here for a long time, and things will change after a long time!"

Zhang Shun opened his eyes when he heard the words, like torches like lightning, how could he be a little bit drunk?He scrutinized Xiao Qinhu carefully, and couldn't help laughing: "Unexpectedly, the second brother has such insight. It's just that the second brother always likes to hunt tigers and leopards, don't you know the reason to keep calm?"

"Tigers and leopards are stronger than humans, their claws are superior to humans, and their agility is even greater than humans. The reason why humans are superior is wisdom, and foreign objects. Only by calmly holding the breath, looking for its traces, observing its laws, and deeply Its acupoints are used to find opportunities for victory. If the opportunity for victory does not appear, the arrow will not appear!"

"Now officers and soldiers regard me as tigers and leopards, and they are hunters. I also regard officers and soldiers as tigers and leopards, and I am a hunter. Who can hunt whom depends only on means."

"Sun Tzu said: Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. As a general, you don't know the battlefield, don't know the time, don't know the opportunity, and you can't win! Now that our army has arrived first, the battlefield, the time, and the opportunity are with me. How can you kill people instead of others? Invincible?"

"When our army first arrived in Yongning, I had already dispatched a messenger to inform Eldest Brother. When our army found the enemy, we would send two messengers and Eldest Brother. According to my plan, Eldest Brother should send out the army as soon as possible to stop his return. When the time comes To fight or not to fight, to go or not to go is up to me, not the enemy. This person can win in one fight!"

Xiao Qinhu saw that Zhang Shun was in his chest, he couldn't help but smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother Yu is worrying too much!"

Zhang Shun shook his head and said: "Brother Yi, why bother to be self-effacing, there is no way to use soldiers, only hard work and hard work. I see Brother Yi making progress, I am too happy to be happy, why would you laugh at Brother Yi?"

The rebel army was overjoyed, but the officers and soldiers were naturally downcast.With a dark face, Wang Pu deliberately scolded Ni Chong, but he was afraid that the two sides would tear their faces because of this, and the subsequent battle would be even more difficult.

In fact, Ni Chong was also angry, but his skills were not as good as others, so he had to hold back his anger.After coming here for a long time, Ni Chong said to Wang Pu in embarrassment: "Although this battle is defeated, it is harmless."

"It is unrealistic to expect us to defeat the bandits in a battle in the Beijing camp. If so, why don't I stick to the camp and wait for a few days? But when the superintendent leads the army to arrive, our army will guard the front and the superintendent will attack the rear. "

"At that time, the thief will be unable to escape, so capturing him in one battle is not a great achievement! At that time, I don't dare to take the credit and be proud, and at least I can claim the first merit."

Hearing this, Wang Pu couldn't help but understand with disdain, and the same reasoning in his heart.Everyone knows what the standard of the capital is, and it is indeed a bit unrealistic to expect him to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

He nodded, sighed, and said, "I underestimated the enemy before, and this 'Shun Thief' is really famous, let's let them be proud for a few days. It's a pity, good people don't do it, but they want to be a thief .Now that death is imminent, I still don’t know it!”

Ni Chong also nodded when he heard the words, and said in harmony: "Some people are naturally rebellious, there is no way. We have to reluctantly chop off their heads, and exchange some military merits to support the family."

The envoy sent by Wang Pu to find Chen Qiyu, governor of Henan Province, was supposed to pass through Yongning County to the east to Sanxiangli, then flow up the north of Lianchang against a tributary of the Luoshui River, and pass through Yanling Pass to Shanzhou.This road only takes about one hundred and fifty miles.

And because the rebel army blocked the traffic, the officers and soldiers could not pass the messenger.We had no choice but to go west against the Luoshui River to Lushi County, then go north to Guolue Town to Lingbao, and then turn east, looking for Governor Chen Qiyu in the direction of Shanzhou and Mianchi.

It's just that now the messenger not only has to cross mountains and mountains, but also has to travel more than [-] miles.In this way, Wang Pu's envoy traveled day and night, chasing all the way to Xiashiguan in Shanzhou before catching up with Governor Chen Qiyu's army.

After receiving Wang Pu's letter, Chen Qiyu was surprised at first, and then overjoyed.Seeing this, Yang Hualin and Liu Guozhen, the deputy generals under his command, hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the supervisor has heard, so happy?"

Chen Qiyu, governor of Henan Province, said with a smile: "There is no place to find if you step through iron shoes, and it will take no effort to get here. This day I will destroy this thief!"

"Just then, Wang Pu of the Beijing Camp came to report that he had encountered a 'Shun Bandit' in Yongning County and was fighting fiercely with him. He hoped that I would lead the army to abandon the Beiwei Road, go around the Yanling Pass and go around Yongning County, attacking back and forth, and destroying this beast in one fell swoop!"
