please make me king

Chapter 809 Two places
Na Zukuan and Li Chongzhen still looked down on the rebel army from the bottom of their hearts, and they were reluctant to launch an attack at all costs.

In addition, He Renlong and Bai Guangen were originally surrendered generals, and it was only thanks to their subordinates that they achieved their status today.

They were worried that if they lost their capital, they would be killed by Zhang Shunxie in the future.

And no matter how the two of them thought about it, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and hold on.

In the contest between death and life, the two sides fought fiercely for a long time, but Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen could not win.

Not long after, Zhang Shun really came with his own army, Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen saw that there was nothing they could do, so they had to retreat back to Weichuan City.

When He Renlong and Bai Guangen saw Zhang Shunqin approaching, they couldn't help feeling relieved and almost fell to the ground.

Don't look at the appearance of these two people who regard death as home, but they are actually quite disturbed in their hearts.They have already made plans to surrender again if they really can't stand it.

According to their experience as military officers of the Ming Dynasty, it is quite common for them to sell their teammates and steal their heads.

Although this King Shun claims to be benevolent and righteous, but his heart is far from his belly, who knows what he thinks in his heart?
If he uses the two of himself as cannon fodder, he can't sit still, can he?
Of course, they didn't want to jump back and forth unless it was absolutely necessary.If you lose your reputation, no one will dare to reuse you in the future.

When the two met Zhang Shun, they were somewhat moved.After all, please ask the lord to come to the rescue in person, even if he deliberately put on a show, it shows that he is worthy of the lord's show.

Zhang Shun saw that the He Renlong and Bai Guangen battalions had suffered a lot of losses, the soldiers were exhausted, their morale was low, and Du Weichuan could not go down, so he nodded his head and gave the order: "Go back to Weishi first, and make plans after resting!"

"General!" He Renlong and Bai Guangen looked at each other, and quickly knelt down to apologize.

Of course they both knew that Zhang Shun had gone so many ways and went deep into dangerous places, just to catch the officers and soldiers by surprise, but they were all messed up by them.

"It's okay, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs." Zhang Shun smiled gently, instead of being furious, he comforted them, "Today's defeat is due to our inability to predict the enemy, so it has nothing to do with you two. What's more, now that we have already detoured behind the enemy, the officers and soldiers are facing the enemy, and sooner or later we will be able to go down, there is no rush."

Seeing that Zhang Shun did not pursue the crime of the defeated army, He Renlong and Bai Guangen felt at ease, so they reorganized their ranks and led them back.

It is difficult to win a battle, and it is even more difficult to lose a battle.Since ancient times, in the use of soldiers, there has never been a man who is victorious in every battle. The only way to use soldiers is to not be arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat.

This battle was suddenly attacked by the two cavalry battalions of Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen. Although they were lucky enough to repel the enemy and retreated completely, their morale was greatly affected.

Zhang Shun comforted He Renlong and Bai Guangen first, the soldiers felt relieved seeing that none of the generals were punished.

Not to mention how Zhang Shun and the others returned to Wei's family to appease the soldiers.

Besides, after Li Xin stayed in Yuzhou City, he was not idle.

As a student with both civil and military skills, his vision is much higher than that of ordinary generals.In addition to fighting and killing, there are also some ideas of governance.

When the other rebels left, in addition to carefully arranging the defense of Yuzhou City, he sealed up the grain and grass of Yuzhou City and the gold and silver belongings in the warehouse.he
He also specially visited the elderly and gentry in the city to appease the people, and ordered the medicine market and porcelain workshop in Yuzhou City to reopen and resume normal business.

It happened that because of the war, there was a backlog of medicinal materials in Yuzhou City.And because the merchants have some doubts about the rebels who have newly occupied Yuzhou City, the actual medicine market and porcelain market are not ideal.

Porcelain is not very important, but medicinal materials are necessary for the rebels.

After Li Xin got the news of the downturn in the pharmaceutical market, he simply bought a large number of strategic materials with the newly acquired gold and silver.

For example, notoginseng, frankincense, and myrrh are used to stop bleeding, datura flowers and hemp flower are used to anesthetize and relieve pain, and saltpeter and sulfur are already used to make gunpowder. More than [-] catties have been purchased in one go.

Except for some that were retained, most of them were sent to Luoyang for doctors to process and deploy them.

It's just that he had just been idle for three or five days when "Crossing General" Li Zicheng and "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai came, followed by Fu Zonglong's army.

A few days ago, the officers and soldiers attacked the city fiercely and climbed up the city wall several times. Fortunately, they were repelled by the soldiers led by Huang Long.

This morning after eating, Li Xin approved his armor and went up to the tower to inspect. He happened to meet Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others talking to Huang Long there.

That Huanglong was originally the "Chuangwang" Gao Yingxiang, a subordinate. After Gao Yingxiang died, he followed Gao Yigong and Gao Guiying to join the rebel army.

Later, when Li Xin accepted the "Troubled Times Camp", Zhang transferred him by the way.

There is both the intention of "mixing sand" with the Gao battalion and the Troubled Times battalion, and the idea of ​​balancing the combat effectiveness of the two battalions.

This Huanglong is a good player when he arrives at the "Troubled Times Camp". Li Xin relies heavily on him.

It's just that this person, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai are both from Qin, maybe they have some old friendships, so we have to let it go.

He hurried forward a few steps, before waiting for him to ask a question.The three people heard footsteps, turned their heads to see him, and hurriedly stepped forward to point out the city and said: "General Li, look, the officers and soldiers outside the city have few banners and few horses. The two battalions of Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen must have been killed." leave."

"Don't miss this opportunity and don't come back again. The relief of Yuzhou City is today!"

Li Xin heard the words and looked carefully, and it was indeed as the three of them said.

He frowned and asked, "Could it be a trick by the officers and soldiers to lure the snake out of the hole?"

"This..." Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and Huang Long were also not sure.

Falsity and reality are the key to the art of war, and there is too little useful information to get a judgment.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Xin finished speaking, he asked himself and answered: "No, the officers and soldiers are indeed empty!"

"Why do you know?" Luo Ru frowned. Although this person saved them once, he still looked down on this young man a bit.

As the saying goes: "If you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well."Li Xin was in his twenties, and although there were a few tiny hairs on his mouth, he still gave him the impression of a young man.

"Look, everyone!" Li Xin pointed to the tents of the officers and soldiers outside the city, "The cavalry camp is behind, but there are no horses tied to the stables, and the haystacks have not decreased in recent days."

"In my opinion, cavalry consume five times as much as infantry. The officers and soldiers must be unable to hold on, and go elsewhere to eat!"

When Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai heard the truth, they had many horses, mules and livestock, so they naturally knew how terrible the cost was.

"Then what are we going to do?" The three asked involuntarily.

Li Xin smiled slightly and said, "What else can I do? Naturally, I will go out to fight in waves and break Fu Zonglong's siege!"

"It's been a while since the two of you came to Yuzhou City, and it's time for you to rest and recuperate. Why don't you go out of the city today to exercise?"

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai looked at each other, nodded and said, "Okay!"
