please make me king

Chapter 637: Song County's Plan
The governor of Yunyang, Lu Xiangsheng, thought very beautifully. He wanted to take over the Henan governor's men and horses to show his grand plans.

But he never expected that he had his own ideas, and others had other people's concerns.What's more, as a guest army, how could the other generals obey?
In the end, only Li Bei led [-] people to join him. As for Zuo Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of Changping, and Ni Chong, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, they used the excuse that "the thieves have left Songshan Dengfeng and corrupted the Central Plains. We must guard against them." Speaking, to help Daliang Bingbeidao and Suichen Bingbeidao to encircle and suppress the rebels.

In fact, Zuo Liangyu and Ni Chong's rhetoric is not unreasonable. The bandits they called "corroding the Central Plains" were the three battalions of "Crafting General" Li Zicheng, "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai, and "Eight Great Kings" Zhang Xianzhong.

Since the three of them defeated Xuan Mo, governor of Henan Province, they headed east all the way, entangled with officers and soldiers with Yuzhou and Xuzhou, waiting for an opportunity to enter the land of Southern Zhili.

It's just that Xuanmo, the governor of Henan who was in charge of guarding the east gate, died in battle, and no one cared about it for a while, leaving Daliang Bingbeidao and Sui Chen Bingbeidao to entangle with them.

After all, Lu Xiangsheng's ability to use troops was inferior, and he didn't see the danger in it for a while. He only said that this was the excuse of Zuo Liangyu, the general soldier of Changping, and Ni Chong, the general soldier of the Beijing camp.

In fact, this time it was really just an excuse from these two people. Both Zuo Liangyu and Ni Chong had suffered a lot from Zhang Shun's hands, so they were inevitably a little scared when they heard that they were going to encircle and suppress the "Shun thieves".Instead of going to Henan Mansion to deal with the difficult "shun thieves", it is better to stay in Kaifeng Mansion to deal with thieves such as "Crossing General", "Living Cao Cao" and "Eight Kings".

It was so easy to gather [-] troops, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help being overjoyed, he stroked Li Bei's back and said, "General Wei, I just sit and watch the west of Henan rot!"

How could Li Bei dare to bear such a great reputation, he quickly smiled wryly and said: "The army is ridiculously praised, originally there were thousands of five hundred soldiers under the humble rank, and the rest were the former Henan governor Xuanmo's pacesetters."

Only then did Lu Xiangsheng understand why Li Bei, a deputy general, had so many troops under his command.However, he appreciated Li Bei's good military discipline and his obedience, so he gave Li Bei great courtesy.

Of course Lu Xiangsheng and Li Bei didn't know that in the original history Li Bei defeated the rebels many times and was awarded the title of Lintao General Soldier this spring.

After that, the rebels fled to Yunyang, Xiangyang and other places. Lu Xiangsheng's battalion was weak, and he mostly relied on Li Bei to deal with the enemies near Yunyang.The two got along very happily, but unfortunately Li Bei died of illness in June of that year because of unacceptable water and soil.

In this life, due to Zhang Shun's butterfly effect, Li Bei was not able to go to Yunyang to cooperate with Lu Xiangsheng, instead he lost his credit and survived.

Now that the soldiers and horses were complete, Lu Xiangsheng had the cheek to ask Wei Yingzhi, the military officer in Henan Province, for some food and grass, so he bit the bullet and led [-] troops across Yiyang to Song County.

Song County already had many bandits and bandits, and was besieged by rebels many times, so He Fu, the original county magistrate, established a simple early warning mechanism when he was here.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng led the army to Yiyang County, Liu Cheng received information that the officers and soldiers wanted to encircle and suppress.

Although this Liu Cheng had the record of defeating Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi in a series of battles, there was a lot of accidents and coincidences, but in fact, when it comes to martial arts and leadership skills, he is nothing more than mediocre.

After he got the news, he didn't dare to make decisions without authorization.When Liu Chengsi and Chu Zhangshun entrusted Song County to themselves, they ordered quickly: "Please staff Xu Quan and student Liu Yuejiang come to discuss the matter!"

Not long after, staff officer Xu Quan and student Liu Yuejiang hurried over and asked why.Xu Quan and Liu Yuejiang couldn't help being startled by Liu Cheng's information.

Fortunately, the student Liu Yuejiang had led the army many times and had some experience, so he quickly asked, "Who is the commander of the officers and soldiers? How many troops are there? When will they arrive?"

Liu Cheng couldn't help telling the truth when he heard the words: "According to the report from the spies, the leader of the army is Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, and there are probably no less than three or four thousand people under his command. According to the footsteps, it is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow."

Liu Yuejiang pondered for a while, and then suggested in a reasonable manner: "I read about Lu Xiangsheng in the mansion newspaper, and I don't know what he is capable of. However, after all, the enemy is strong and we are weak. Now that Luoyang City is besieged by officers and soldiers, King Shun has no time to go south. Gu rescue Song County."

"According to my mind, let's divide our troops to defend the city. I have quite a lot of experience in this matter, and I can help you a little bit. Besides, the general will send another letter to General Nalu Shichen. When the time comes, I will Wait until the two places join forces in one place, and then think about defeating the officers and soldiers."

Before Liu Cheng could respond, Xu Quan quickly objected: "Brother Yuejiang's strategy is safe, but it will take too much time. Now that Luoyang City is in danger, the reason why King Shun didn't ask us for help is nothing more than to wait for the right time. .”

"If I have been entangled with Lu Xiangsheng and others for too long, and we have no resources to spare in the event of a war opportunity, wouldn't it be a big deal for King Shun?"

"In my opinion, there are only three or four thousand officers and soldiers, and we have a battalion under our rule. The officers and soldiers don't know the strength of our army. Why don't the general find a dangerous place to ambush them? If it can be done, we can destroy it with one blow. If it doesn’t work, it won’t be too late to retreat to the county seat!”

Liu Cheng was grateful to Zhang Shun for taking him in and creating an opportunity for him to avenge himself. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "In this case, please Mr. Liu continue to garrison Pingfengzhai, and Staff Officer Xu garrison Song County. I will lead the troops myself. Go to meet Lu Xiangsheng, governor of Yunyang."

Xu Quan and Liu Yuejiang don't know much about Lu Xiangsheng's ability, and Zhang Shun once led Liu Cheng and others to fight against him, how could Liu Cheng not know?

However, since Liu Cheng guarded Song County, he recruited [-] people according to Zhang Shun's order, and trained a group of low-level officers through Ma Yingniang's military academy to build this battalion.Zhang Shun specially named it "Zhensong".

Although compared with other battalions, the name seems a bit strange, but after thinking about it carefully, Liu Cheng didn't think it was strange that this battalion was mainly composed of Songxian miners and hair gourds.

As the saying goes: soldiers are expensive and fast.Since Luoyang City was besieged, Liu Cheng's Zhensong Camp was on standby at all times.

Therefore, Liu Cheng could not wait any longer, and immediately led the Zhensong camp to the east, and arrived near the inspection department of Shangdian Town at night.The moon was dark and the wind was high, and he couldn't see his fingers, so Liu Cheng chose a dangerous place and ordered his "Zhensong Camp" to lurk.

It is said that the terrain near the inspection department of Shangdian Town is high in the south and low in the north, which was originally one of the main exits of the Funiu Mountains.Since ancient times, it has been known as "the hub of the mountain and the main road of the throat". It is an important traffic artery in the west of Henan and one of the famous towns in the west of Henan.

It is precisely because this place is so important that the imperial court specially set up an inspection department here to monitor pedestrians traveling between Song County and Ruzhou and guard against thieves.

The officers and soldiers stayed in Yiyang County last night, which is only thirteen or four miles away.Therefore, early the next morning, Lu Xiangsheng and Li Bei led their troops to the Inspection Department of Shangdian Town.

The inspector of Shangdian Town saw such a large group of people, how dare they step forward to interrogate them?He wanted to hide in the inspection department and just fool around, but he never thought that Lu Xiangsheng would not let him go.

Zhuge Liang once said: To be a general without understanding astronomy, geography, strange gates, yin and yang, ignoring formation diagrams, and military forces is mediocrity.

Although Lu Xiangsheng may not be proficient in strange gates and yin and yang, at least he also knows that he needs to understand the terrain.So as soon as he arrived here, he ordered the inspector to inquire about the surrounding situation.

The inspector has never seen such a big official in his life, how dare he deceive him?It is natural to answer all questions, to speak everything you know, and to talk endlessly.

He pointed to Lu Xiangsheng in the direction of Song County and said, "It's not far to the west from here. After crossing the mountain pass, you will be in Song County. This place is only [-] miles away from Song County. If you travel faster, it only takes one day. Arrived in Song County."

"The city of Nasong County is located on the northwest side of the Yishui River, and you need to cross the river to get there. At that time, adults would like to find some boats. Also, the people of Nasong County are aggressive. Since ancient times, there have been many thieves and bandits, and they like to rob merchants. Please also It is better to be careful, my lord!"
