please make me king

Chapter 872

When Gao Guiying found Zhang Shun, he had just finished with Li Sanniang.

It turned out that on this day, Zhang Shun came to see the child.Li Sanniang remembered Mrs. Lu's entrustment, and asked Zhang Shun if he had any ways to strengthen his yang.

Zhang Shun also said that he didn't come to her often in the past, and she was a bit lonely, so he took the opportunity to move around.

It has been more than two years since Li Sanniang was pregnant, and it is a bit unbearable for her to refuse the ceremony of Duke Zhou for a long time.So, between half-push and half-way, the two accomplished a good thing.

When Gao Guiying came in, the two were still disheveled and dripping with sweat, obviously they had just had a good time.

She couldn't help spitting, and cursed with a blushing face: "How hungry and thirsty you are, doing this in broad daylight!"

It is a very serious disrespect to proclaim obscenity in the daytime and put aside this era, Li Sanniang couldn't help but blushed, she opened her mouth to explain something, but she couldn't say anything.

Fortunately, Zhang Shun is thick-skinned, and he was a modern person in his previous life, so he is not ashamed, but proud.

He laughed and said, "What's it worth? I'm going to be the Duke of Zhou, what's the matter with his saint? Could it be that you want to have a fight too!"

"Bah! Who would have the heart to do this with you!" Gao Guiying spat.

In fact, she and Zhang Shun did such things in private in the past, so naturally they couldn't get tough in front of him.

She shook the letter in her hand and said, "Urgent military situation, a letter from the township, the rebel army repelled Zuo Guangxian, and conquered the natural danger of Tongguan in one fell swoop!"

"Oh?" Zhang Shun was very surprised. Unexpectedly, Chen Changbing succeeded so quickly.

He took a look at the letter, and saw that the wax seal was still there, with Chen Changling's special seal on it.

Zhang Shun opened it casually, and saw Chen Changzhu's familiar handwriting appeared in front of his eyes.

It turned out that after Zhang Shun returned to Luoyang because of his "backyard fire", Chen Changji followed Zhang Shun's strategy and launched an attack on Tongguan.

In the hands of the rebel generals, there are two "Great General Cannons", more than ten "Flying Guns", more than ten "Golden Cannons" and "Field Cannons", as well as dozens of various Franc cannons and general cannons of different sizes. The gates lined up, bombarding Tongguan day and night.

Although Tongguan is as solid as a rock, the artillery of the rebel army is like a hammer, beating Guancheng over and over again.

"If the thieves beat it to the end, it will be troublesome!" Shaanxi Zuo Guang first stood on Tongguan City, looking at the densely packed artillery below the city, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Although Tongguan is extremely strong, although the artillery in this era cannot blow down the city walls in a short time, it is not without any damage to Guancheng.

If the siege party has the patience to use water grinding skills, a little bit of deadly knocking, sooner or later the city wall of Tongguan will be damaged.

Seeing that the commander-in-chief was worried, the lieutenant general could not help but comfort him: "Don't worry, the general. The art of war says: 'One effort, then decline, and three exhaustion!'"

"The thieves have been fighting hard for a long time, and they have already become the end of their strength. They are bound to be unable to wear Lulu, so why should the general worry?"

"My worry is not with the bandit chieftains Chen Changbing and Cao Wenzhao, but with the bandits!" Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, sighed. What was broken by thieves will cause death and injury."

"I've heard that there are two treasures for Shun Zei, one is: Shuai character flag; the other is: Wrong-sounding drum! As soon as the handsome character flag comes out, Shun-thief will come in person; as soon as the drum-sounding of innocence is sounded, Shun-thief will fight for his life."

"Now that the handsome flag has arrived, I'm afraid that Tongguan will be difficult to defend. This is one of them."

"Secondly, Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, has not been seen since the defeat of the army. Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Shaanxi, is a pedantic literati. Even if the bandits in Qin land are running around, he can't take care of himself. How can he have spare energy to support us?"

"In the long run, I'm afraid we can only sit and guard the isolated city and watch the thieves break through the pass city and enter the pass!"

After a long while, Zuo Guangxian, the commander in chief of Shaanxi Province, shook his head and smiled again: "Shun thief always likes to win by surprise, you should be careful, and be careful not to take advantage of it!"

All the officers and soldiers got the order of the commander-in-chief, and they were extremely nervous.Sooner or later, soldiers were sent to patrol and monitor, for fear that the city would be stolen by the rebels.

After three or five days like this, Zuo Guang, the careful general officer of Shaanxi Province, discovered the clue first, and often sent people to sneak to the bank of the Yellow River to investigate the rebels.

Zuo Guang then made a decisive decision: "Now the thieves are in a hurry to attack the city, so they must try their best. How can they have time to go to the river bank to do something? It must be to collect boats and wood, and prepare to smuggle across the Yellow River!"

"I intend to surprise this place tonight, taking advantage of its unpreparedness, to raid this place, find the boat and wood, and burn them all in one fell swoop, so as to avoid future troubles!"

Sure enough, as Zhang Shun expected, since Tongguan was close at hand, the officers and soldiers could easily detect the movement of Jindouguan.Zuo Guangxian, who was guarding Tongguan, also discovered that the rebel army secretly searched for ships.

It was night, Zuo Guangxian sent soldiers out of Shanhaiguan in the dark, trying to attack the rebels and burn down the ships and timber collected by the rebels.

Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the highly vigilant rebel army and was beaten and defeated.

The defeated officers and soldiers fled under Tongguan, knocking on the closed gate and begging to enter the city.However, Zhang Rujing led the rebel army to pursue and persecute him too much. Zuo Guang first ordered his soldiers to fire artillery to help him, but he dared not open the gate.

The rebel army then slaughtered all the officers and soldiers out of the pass, and the sound of wailing and screaming continued all night. The officers and soldiers trembled and their morale became more and more depressed.

Zuo Guang had no choice but to write a letter and send it to the Governor of Shanxi, Wu Zhen.Ask him to urge the Jin soldiers to guard Fenglingdu, in case the rebels enter Shanxi and cross the river by detour.

Unexpectedly, Chen Changzhu ordered his soldiers to secretly transport three Feibiao guns and two golden cannons to Linzhi Yuan.

On the second night, Chen Changliang was unable to go out in person because of his old injury.So he sent his cousin Li Mou to lead [-] men who dared to die to cross the Linzhi Plateau and enter the Forbidden Ditch.

Forbidden Ditch is a deep valley running from north to south at the south gate of Tongguan. According to historical records, there is a valley on the right side of Tongguan, where people are forbidden to come and go on weekdays to collect taxes. It is called "Forbidden Pit", or "Forbidden Valley".

In this valley, "the shrubs and vines are as dense as weaves", and "the thin roads are dangerous and the apes compete with each other".

There are also twelve city guards, "From the southern suburbs to the mountain, it is [-] miles, and the twelve cities are three miles and one city. Each city has a hundred soldiers, and in the middle city to benefit its soldiers, set up more firearms and stones to connect Echoing, as fast as the wind and rain, there are hundreds of people, how can they surpass and fly across?"

This is the grim situation that Li You faced after crossing mountains and ridges and going through hardships all the way to Jingou.

"General!" Most of Li Mou's confidantes are bodyguards and martial artists from Huaiqing Mansion. Although most of them are people who travel across mountains and mountains, they have never encountered such a dangerous terrain and such an urgent situation. .Everyone looked at the deep ditch on the side of the cliff on both sides, feeling a little uneasy.

Li Mou couldn't help but angrily said: "Everyone followed our brothers and left Huaiqing to raise the important event of King Shun. We want to seek wealth and honor together to pass on to our descendants!"

"At this time when King Shun's foundation has been established and his career is about to flourish, I have traveled thousands of miles away from my hometown and crossed mountains and ridges to Jingou. Is there a way out for this one action of ancient achievements? Everyone's life is hanging by a thread, and we are in a dilemma. Is there a way out? Is there a way out for the parents, wife and children at home?"

"Now you want to die when you advance, and you want to die when you retreat! I heard that 'two rats fight in the hole, and the brave will win'; Shy away!"

"Where is the sword and axe? But stand behind me, whoever dares to shrink back will kill him! Anyone who dares to run back will kill him! Anyone who walks slowly will also kill him! If you don't break through the twelve cities, you will never return to the division!"

"Good!" All the soldiers couldn't help but their morale revived when they heard the words. They unsheathed their knives and hung their bows one after another, looking at death as if they were home, and marched northward along the forbidden ditch.
