please make me king

Chapter 612 Pointing to the river as an oath
It is said that Zhang Shun joined forces with "Chuang Jiang", "Living Cao Cao" and "Eight Great Kings" to kill "Chuang Wang" Gao Yingxiang, and after the fire annexed "Gao Ying".The "Living Cao Cao" bound Gao Yigong, Gao Guiying, Huang Long and Liu Zhe, and refused to enter the city to meet Zhang Shun again.

Zhang Shun knew in his heart that after this incident happened, the fragile trust between the rebels no longer existed.

It is a taboo for military strategists to believe each other.Rather than holding each other back here, it's better to let them go out and contribute to their great cause.

After this short period of vigorous training and training, Liu Cheng and Chen Changbing have completed the formation and training of the battalion. Together with the "Gao Battalion" that has surrendered, it is enough to replace the original Fourth Division of the Rebel Army.

So, Zhang Shun sent Zhang Shenyan to discuss the matter of blood for an alliance.The "Crossing General", "Living Cao Cao" and "Eight Great Kings" also knew that King Shun was strong now, but he was weak, so he couldn't refuse.

What's more, for them who nominally regard King Shun as their master, being able to make a blood alliance with Zhang Shun is also an act of raising their status. How can the three of them disagree?
After some discussions, the two sides agreed to lead more than ten people each to kill a white horse by the Luohe River, take the blood and smear it on their lips, pointing at the Luohe River and swearing:
"Today there are Zhang Shun, king of Shun, leader of the [-]th Battalion of the Rebel Army, Li Hongji, the leader of the Chuangying Army, Luo Rucai, the leader of the Chuangying Army, Luo Rucai, the "Living Cao Cao" of the Caoying Army, and Zhang Xianzhong, the "Eight Kings" who offered the Battalion of the Rebel Army.

"In order to comply with God's will, the Ming Dynasty was overthrown. We agreed to recognize King Shun as the master, and we will assist him. We will divide the army into four, each according to its ability. Among them, King Shun took the four provinces of Beijing in the north, and the "Chuangjiang" took Zhili in the south. , Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian; "Living Cao Cao" takes Huguang, Guangdong, and Guangxi; "Eight Great Kings" takes Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou. If there is any violation, the sky will be struck by lightning, and the people and gods will be angry!"

After the oath was fulfilled, "Crossing General" Li Hongji, "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai, and "Eight Great Kings" Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Swallowing blood as an alliance and swearing against Luo is almost the highest standard of ancient alliances.If this can't restrain King Shun, then they can only sit and wait for death!
Zhang Shun looked at them in amazement for a long time, and thought to himself: I have never heard of Li Hongji and what Luo Rucai, but this "[-] wonders" is really thunderous!

Especially when Zhang Xianzhong discovered Zhang Xianzhong's jokes about Shen Yin, Zhang Shun was even more familiar with it.If he hadn't known that Zhang Xianzhong's shipwreck hadn't happened yet, he would have sent someone to salvage it.

He is not familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and he still hasn't figured out where the "Chuangwang" Li Zicheng went.Perhaps due to the butterfly effect, the real "Chuang Wang" Li Zicheng has disappeared from the crowd, or he has disappeared in no corner!
Zhang Shun sighed, and couldn't help laughing: "Since the three of you have made up your mind, I won't force you to stay any longer. I just don't know what the three of you have planned, and I can help you with the details if you tell me!"

"This..." Li Hongji, Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong looked at me and I looked at you, and were speechless for a while.

"What's wrong? Does it need to be kept secret?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but wondered.

"Don't dare, dare not!" Luo Rucai quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm afraid of being laughed at by King Shun if I say it. In fact, the three of us haven't figured out where to go yet."

Zhang Shun smiled slightly, and said, "Since that's the case, I have a little suggestion. I don't know what everyone thinks!"

"Now that Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, is in great power, Shaanxi can't go back. The three of them are short of soldiers and food, so they can't stay for long. In this case, why don't the three of them march eastward, cut off the canal water transportation, get their grain and eat it, and gather the heroes of the world , side by side to the south."

"The rich people in the south of the Yangtze River are weak and the soldiers are weak, and they can't resist. At that time, the capital and nine provinces in the south will be all three people!"

Li Hongji, Luo Rucai, and Zhang Xianzhong were shocked when they heard the words.It's not that Zhang Shun's suggestion is unreliable, on the contrary, it's too reliable. They tried their best to think about it but they couldn't figure out the trap.

First go east out of Songshan Mountain, cut off the canal from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, and seize its grain as a foundation.The rest don't need Zhang Shunjiao, coerce the local people, cross the river to the south, imitate the old wisdom of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and look at the north by the Yangtze River.

If Zhang Shun hadn't been the leader of the [-]th Battalion of the Rebel Army in the first place, they would have almost thought that this guy was Zhuge Liang of themselves and others.

The life of the old man is difficult and the information is not smooth, so most people are quite sensitive to the details; Zhang Shun was a modern person in his previous life, with advanced information and a more transparent understanding of the macro situation.

Compared with the hatchback, Zhang Shun's thinking directly hit them with dimensionality reduction.The three saluted Zhang Shun in embarrassment, then retreated to the side, murmuring for a long time, but did not understand what Zhang Shun was going to do.

"Eight Great Kings" Zhang Xianzhong impatiently speculated, he couldn't help but said angrily: "This guy is not a good person, I don't care what kind of schemes he has, but if he goes against him, he will definitely let him fetch water from the bamboo basket!"

"Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "In this case, King Shun eats vegetables and meat every day, 'Eight Great Kings', do you want to eat shit instead?"

The "Eight Great Kings" Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help being furious when he heard the words, and wanted to step forward and beat Luo Rucai. "Crossing General" Li Hongji hastily stretched out his hand to hold him, and said expressionlessly, "Stop arguing, you two, so as not to make people laugh."

Only then did Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai realize that Zhang Shun was in front of them, and immediately fell silent.Then Li Hongji continued: "We have feet growing on us, how can King Shun control us wherever we want to go?"

"It's just that we are really short of food now. If we don't solve it as soon as possible, I'm afraid the soldiers will disperse and flee. Since we know that there is food in the water transport, why bother who proposed this matter? Even if we do the opposite, If you are hungry, how do you know that we have not fallen into King Shun's hub?"

When Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai heard it, it was true.If you don't understand it, it's better not to think about it.

In the past, they followed the "Chuang Wang" Gao Yingxiang with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and they didn't know what a plan was at all.

Now that Zhang Shun clearly told him to "put the elephant in the refrigerator in three steps", they suddenly realized that it was much better than them running around like headless chickens anyway.

Thinking of this, these three people are also heroes, so they can't help but hurried forward to say goodbye to Zhang Shun: "We have made a decision, and we will follow King Shun's suggestion to march eastward and seize the grain and grass transported by water as military rations. The water flows forever, King Shun cherishes it, see you by fate!"

Li Hongji, Luo Rucai, and Zhang Xianzhong Shi Shiran went, at this time Zhang Shenyan and Lu Weiqi couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "My lord (general), people often say: It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. He is a hero in the world, how can the lord grant this 'dragon slaying technique' to others?
