please make me king

Chapter 585
When the rebels gathered in Luoyang City, Hong Chengchou was not as smug as other rebels imagined. He was ready to lead the elite Qin army to raid the city of Luoyang at any time.

Chen Qiyu, the new governor of Henan who died in the battle, and Hong Chengchou, the current governor of the five provinces, were originally colleagues, and their political trajectories were quite similar.Both of them started their careers by encircling and suppressing the peasant army, and they successively served as the governor of Yansui and gained great fame after their outstanding military exploits.

Originally, Hong Chengchou came first, followed by Chen Qiyu.Unexpectedly, when Hong Chengchou, the former governor of the three sides, tried his best to deal with Lin Danhan of the Chahar tribe who was advancing westward.Chen Qiyu overtook another car in a corner, and became the governor-general of Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Sichuan, and was in charge of encircling and suppressing the peasant army fleeing in these five provinces.

It's just a pity that this guy is not good enough to encircle and suppress.As a result, before his position as the governor of the five provinces was firmly established, he made a mistake, but Hong Chengchou, the original governor of the three sides, picked up the mistake.

However, Hong Chengchou never imagined that the status of the two had just been reversed again, and this guy was newly appointed as the governor of Henan.As a result, as soon as he left Tongguan on his front foot, he was defeated and died on his back foot.

Apart from taking pleasure in misfortune, Hong Chengchou, the new governor of the five provinces, also inevitably felt sad when the rabbit died.

With a similar experience and similar ability, someone who reached the apex of power one step earlier was quickly defeated and died. Hong Chengchou inevitably couldn't help thinking about what would happen to him next!
Hong Chengchou knew Chen Qiyu's ability, although he was not as good as himself, he was also a man who knew how to fight well.He fought more and less, with nearly four times the strength of the opponent, but he was beaten so badly. Even if he had [-] pigs under his command, the rebels couldn't catch them so fast?
In view of this matter, if Hong Chengchou had no fear of Zhang Shun, it would be impossible.

Originally, after the rebel army escaped from the encirclement net of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou was going to lead the army to follow behind and pursue him closely, lest the "Chuang Wang", "Chuang General", "Living Cao Cao" and the "Eight Great Kings" and others have a respite Time.Now, he had to be more cautious.

After all, to the east of Tongguan is the city of Luoyang occupied by King Shun.If I am not fully prepared, if I make a mistake, I am afraid that I will end up in the miserable end of Chen Qiyu.

Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, had the same idea as Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War. The way they deal with Zhang Shun is to concentrate their superior forces and take the opportunity to wipe out the rebels in Luoyang City.

Just at this time, Chongzhen's will also arrived, and Hong Chengchou took the opportunity to order people to garrison Tongguan to prevent the rebels from advancing westward; at the same time, he summoned the officers and soldiers who were originally stationed in other areas to surround the "Chuangwang" and other rebels, and prepared to go out eastward at another time.

Hong Chengchou's side seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and the rebel army would naturally not underestimate Hong Chengchou.

After Zhang Shun got the news that the officers and soldiers were going east out of Tongguan, he thought for a while, and then said to "Chuang Wang", "Chuang General", "Living Cao Cao" and "Eight Great Kings": "I still say the same thing, the rebels will be alone." , together we are stronger."

"Everyone who came from afar, I should do my best as a landlord. If you are willing to work together with me to deal with Hong Chengchou and other officers and soldiers, Zhang will be very grateful."

"However, let's be a villain first, and then a gentleman. My ugly words come first, if you are willing to cooperate with me. First, don't break my rules and violate my laws. If someone harms the people around Luoyang, don't blame me Military law is ruthless!"

"Before the second military order is issued, everyone can speak freely. It's just that once I issue the military order, the rebels, regardless of their status or relationship, must not violate it, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law!"

"Thirdly, I will still support everyone with military supplies and supplies. I will reward everyone with merit and punish with crimes. If everyone agrees, they will get together, and if they don't, they will disperse. If you get together, you will be able to meet each other in the future. I don't know what you think?"

"King Chuang", "General Chuang", "Living Cao Cao" and "Eight Great Kings" couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words. They never expected that Zhang Shun would propose such a generous treatment, which was even better than Zhang Shun's righteousness when he occupied the [-]th Battalion in the past situation at the time.

The four couldn't help admiring Zhang Shun's arrogance, and they all cupped their hands in thanks: "Thanks to King Shun for his righteousness, but we are convinced. But now, there is one more thing I have to mention. Today, part of the rebel army is still stranded in Xin'an, and some We have already arrived outside Luoyang City, I wonder how King Shun plans to arrange it?"

Zhang Shun frowned and asked, "I wonder how many people you have under your command? Where are they now?"

"Chuang Wang" quickly responded: "Now the four of us have a total of [-] horses. Everyone has horses, and the elite even has two horses!"

Zhang Shun frowned, and said sharply: "Since we cooperate, why bother to lie to me? Tell the truth!"

"King Chuang" backed away in embarrassment, "Living Cao Cao" quickly stepped forward two steps, and said with a smile: "King Shun is not an outsider, but he is afraid that the rest of the people will reveal the foundation of the rebel army."

Zhang Shun showed an impatient look on his face, and shouted directly: "All of you here are important officials of my King Shun, and I will inevitably deal with you in the future. If you continue to hesitate like this, and don't explain clearly in person, I'm afraid that when you ask for food and grass in the future, you will not be able to give up. Blame them for not being able to talk!"

"Living Cao Cao" smiled awkwardly: "Since this is the case, I will tell the truth. In fact, the four of us have a total of [-] to [-] troops."

Seeing Zhang Shun's unwavering expression, "Living Cao Cao" hurriedly continued, "Actually, there are only eight thousand people who can be used, and the rest are all the family members of the rebels. It's just that there are many horses in Ganshan and Shanxi, and the rebels are fleeing everywhere, so no matter what." Both young and old have horses, mules, donkeys and other livestock to travel."

When Zhang Shun heard this, he frowned and said, "There are more than [-] livestock, how can I have so much fodder for you? How about this, I will cover all the rations for soldiers and fodder for mounts, and the rest will be paid at the market price. Buy food and grass from the rebels."

Forage, forage, including grass and fodder.Grass is generally straw, hay, straw, etc.; and feed includes beans such as soybeans and black beans, as well as feed such as bran and soybean meal.

Horses have a lot of food. Originally, Zhang Shun only had a thousand cavalry under his command, which was more than enough to supply.When the "King of Troubled Times", Cao Wenzhao, and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew joined the three battalions, and Zhang Shun reorganized the three battalions under his own command, there were five or six thousand cavalry in total, and it would be difficult to supply drafting materials.

Now, with the addition of the joint rebel army, supplying fodder for [-] animals, how can it be so easy?

In fact, Zhang Shun overestimated the feeding and supply of other rebel mounts.These people were chased by officers and soldiers in Gansu, Shaanxi and other places and fled for their lives. If they didn't have enough food, how could they have enough fodder to feed their animals?
Most of the time, they just feed some grass and hay hastily.Once they are exhausted, they will kill and eat meat, and then go to rob the animals that are in short supply.

When the four of them heard that Zhang Shun was going to pack the fodder and rations, their faces were overjoyed, why would they complain to him?
