Chapter 806
Although the Heluo area is blocked by mountains and rivers, and the eight gates are locked and keyed, it is not a place of great shape like Guanzhong and Shanxi, with mountains and rivers on the outside and inside.

Now the officers and soldiers are strong, but the rebel army is weak, it is really difficult to sit and defend.

The reason why Zhang Shun was able to occupy this place was because of an accident.The rebel army killed Chen Qiyu in the first battle, Lu Xiangsheng in the second battle, and Hong Chengchou in the third battle.The imperial court suddenly lost three senior officials, and Henan governor Xuan Mo died unexpectedly in battle. As a result, there were no people in Shaanxi and Henan, and it was impossible to mobilize troops and integrate forces to carry out encirclement and suppression.

Second, Zhang Shun took advantage of the opportunity when the officers and soldiers did not react, and fought slowly, trying to cause more damage to the officers and soldiers near the Heluo area and weaken the court's ability to mobilize.

However, his men and horses are not made of iron after all. After repeated battles, there are always times when they get tired.If he couldn't obtain the strength to survive the next wave of counterattack by the court before the soldiers were exhausted, I'm afraid the best result would be to flee in despair.

So in addition to the war, Zhang Shun also thought carefully about the way out of the Heluo area.

For a regime, so-called power is nothing more than economics, military and diplomacy.

Zhang Shun obtained the support of Heluo gentry through Heluo celebrity Lu Weiqi, but he was able to temporarily stabilize the regime.However, with Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou alone, he could not expand the army to more than [-] in any case.

In fact, thanks to the rebel army taking over all the property of Prince Fu's Mansion, Zhang Shun was able to barely support the [-] to [-] troops in their conquests.

After repeated conscriptions, even the Lu family and Mao Hulu Ding Zhuang of Song County were recruited by the rebel army.

Although it is not considered "three Ding draw one", almost every household joins the army.If he squeezed it harder, the base he had finally built would explode.

After thinking about it, in addition to improving the quality of the team as much as possible, we need to focus on the economy and people's livelihood.

Although before, Zhang Shenyan, Lu Weiqi and others were responsible for spring plowing and replanting, changing drought-tolerant and high-yielding crops, and preventing locust plagues.After all, far away water can't quench the near thirst, I am afraid that the counterattack of officers and soldiers will come quickly before the food is ripe.

Moreover, the land of Heluo is surrounded by mountains. Except for the Luoyang Basin, the rest are almost all mountainous areas. Even if we encourage farming and mulberry cultivation, we will not be able to support millions of people and tens of thousands of troops.

Not to mention that this place does not have the benefits of salt and iron in Shanxi, and the prosperity of Jiama in Shaanxi. Only some medicinal materials, furs and minerals are produced in the mountains of western Henan, and they are subject to fierce competition from Shanxi and Jingxiang.

After thinking about it, the only way to survive is to effectively attract investment from later generations and reduce the dimensionality of people in this era.

Previously, with the help of the gold and silver treasures he won from the Fu Wang Mansion, he launched a "grain war" against Daming, and achieved good results.

Now that I am away on an expedition, I don't know if those grain merchants are keeping their promises and continue to transport grain to Luoyang again.For a moment, Zhang Shun's thoughts flew to nowhere.

After Niu Jinxing took the initiative to invite Ying, he waited for a long time, and seeing Zhang Shun's words, he realized that King Shun might not agree with his proposal.

He couldn't help but asked strangely: "Could it be that King Shun is going to leave it like this? This time we are working hard and mobilizing everyone, and you go out in person, just for this little food?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Shun also asked strangely.

"I thought that in addition to my previous proposal, King Shun could also detain some of the people, let our people mix in, and break up this Zhuxian Town together from inside and outside!" Niu Jinxing replied with bright eyes, "Not only will Jin Silver and silk, food and grass, whatever you ask for, can be a long-lasting strategy for the Eastern Expedition, and it will allow them to accept the vote!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, pointed at him and said, "You don't look like a scholar, but like a Liangshan hero! Every now and then, people will give you a certificate of approval. Those who know say we are a bit low-spirited, and those who don't know think we are Where are the bandits!"

"Besides, the forwards of our army have fought against Fu Zonglong and Zhu Dadian, and they have tried their best, but it is still insufficient. How can we divide our troops?"

"Then you can't just cheat this little thing and let them go, and you won't be afraid of being laughed at if you tell it!" Gao Guiying couldn't help it, and interjected.

Zhang Shun waved his hands when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "What I'm looking for is not a temporary supply of gold and silver, nor a temporary supply of food and grass, but a major plan for people's livelihood. I have my own plans for this matter, and I will discuss it later!"

"Let's talk about these merchants, my recent concern is just that I am afraid that they will fall to the officers and soldiers."

"At that time, one will contribute to the transportation of grain and grass for the officers and soldiers, and spy on intelligence; the other will lead the officers and soldiers to Zhuxian Town and threaten the back of our army. Not to mention the effect, it is very annoying, but it will draw the energy of the rebels. "

"Nowadays, the merchants in Zhuxian Town have committed a damn crime by cooperating with our army. It is equivalent to accepting the vote in disguise. Although they can't be expected to destroy their homes to relieve difficulties and help the rebel army, it can also prevent them from getting too close to the officers and soldiers. How much can we strive for neutrality?"

"The two of us expected that after this incident, these merchants would definitely feel uneasy. They were afraid that they would be misunderstood by the officers and soldiers, and would try to minimize their contact with the officers and soldiers, so as not to expose their whereabouts."

"In this way, we can go all out to defeat Fu Zonglong, Zhu Dadian and others, and come to talk to him again!"

"Hmm..." Niu Jinxing was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhang Shun in surprise.

Apart from the previous dazzling rhetoric, I will not mention it, but Zhang Shun's hand is really powerful.Although it's called Art of War, it's actually just people's hearts.His grasp of people's hearts has been superb, and he only benefits people's desire to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so he plays these merchants in his hands.

While the three of them were talking, they suddenly heard Wang Jinyi shout: "A military emergency!"

"Come in and answer!" Zhang Shun hurriedly ordered upon hearing this.

Immediately the door opened, and Wang Jinyi rushed in three steps at a time, and reported: "King Shun Rong reported that He Renlong sent someone to send the news, and he fought with the officers and soldiers in Weichuan City."

"There are not many officers and soldiers defending the city, but the surprise attack fails. Considering that the officers, soldiers and cavalry will come back to help, He Renlong specially ordered people to return quickly, hoping that King Shun would send someone to support him!"

Originally, Zhang Shun sent He Renlong as the vanguard to test the reality of Weichuan City.He didn't expect that Weichuan County, where the imperial army was supposed to be stationed, was empty. Where did the officers and soldiers totaling more than [-] people go?
Zhang Shun and Niu Jinxing couldn't help looking at each other, and a thought came to their minds: Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai!
The hearts of the two couldn't help but thump. Could it be that Luo and Li, who are veteran generals, have already been defeated?

Zhang Shun couldn't help but took two steps, clapped his hands up and down, slapped his hands a few times, and ordered after gritted his teeth: "Order Bai Guangen's department to set off immediately to meet He Renlong's department. But when you encounter a large army from the imperial court, you must stick to it. Order all We will dispatch more spies to scout out the movements of the officers and soldiers, and be careful not to be trapped by the officers and soldiers."

"This king and Zhang Yichuan, the 'sweeping king', led the army to garrison Wei's, to support the army! Then quickly send soldiers to Xuzhou, and notify the commander Zhang Sanbai, ready to launch an attack at any time, and attack the enemy back and forth with our troops!"
