please make me king

Chapter 889
It is said that when Zhang Shun heard Hong Chengchou's analysis that there were only [-] elites in Shaanxi, he couldn't help being ecstatic.

It's no wonder Zhang Shun has such confidence, although the rebel army can't afford [-] troops, there are [-] battalions of horse infantry officers under him, and the total number is [-].

Although the quality of the rebel soldiers may not be as good as the three elites, at least Zhang Shun has enough soldiers, and no one under his command dares to pay a large amount of money.

In this way, the feet even out.

Although Zhang Shun is unable to mobilize other troops to enter Shaanxi together, the officers and soldiers also need to allocate a lot of energy to defend and station in Guihua City.

Since then, the two sides have returned to the equilibrium point of the game.If the rebel army wants to open up the situation, it must use almost the same number of troops to defeat or even wipe out Zuo Guangxian in order to gain the upper hand.

Zhang Shun now has Cao Wenzhao, Chen Changbing, Bai Guangen, He Renlong, Li Mou, and Wang Shaoyu's six battalions, as well as [-] cavalry led by He Jin, a total of [-] cavalry officers.

It's just that Shanxi governor Wu Zhen sent soldiers to station at Fenglingdu, always threatening the retreat of the rebels.

Zhang Shun had to stay behind Cao Wenzhao and Wang Shaoyu's two battalions, stationed at Tongguan, to guard against surprise attacks by officers and soldiers.In this way, the rebel army can fight with only [-] thousand horse infantry soldiers.

Compared with the more than [-] people under the command of veteran general Zuo Guangxian in person, there is no overwhelming advantage.

How to do?The generals of the rebel army, Hong Chengchou and others all looked at Zhang Shun, waiting for his decision.

"Fight!" Zhang Shun waved his hand, full of confidence.

"How does King Shun plan to fight?" As an excellent general, Hong Chengchou put himself in his shoes and felt that Zhang Shun should be very difficult.

Now the rebels attack officers and soldiers through the narrow "Hangu Passage", and the defending side can defend in three ways.

First, defend Taniguchi.In history, after Li Zi successfully retreated from Tongguan, he once relied on the natural dangers of Tongguan to launch an active attack on the Qing army, but it was a pity that he failed.

Its advantage is that with the help of narrow terrain, it can reduce the surface area for the defensive side to be attacked, so that even if the offensive side has a superior force, it cannot fully utilize it.

The second is the defensive channel.Most of the grand passes in history are of this type. Set up checkpoints on dangerous terrain like "a line of sky", the two sides can only rely on a small number of elites to head-to-head here, and there is no falsehood.

Previously, Chen Changbing, Li Mou Pojindouguan, and Tongguan were all of this kind.Fortunately, the rebel army won by surprise and seized the forbidden ditch, and only then did they take down Tangchi, such a golden city.

The third is to defend the canyon exit.At first glance, this method is nothing more than using the first method in reverse, as if to hand over a dangerous place to others.

In fact, this is not the case. In the method of using soldiers, the land has a subject and an object, and the shape has a virtual reality.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei, the ancestor of the Shu Han Dynasty, left Yizhou and went down the Wu Gorge to attack Wu.

Liu Bei is a veteran of hundreds of battles. Although Wu has natural dangers, he cannot defend them.

Lu Xun, the governor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, set up his camp in Yiling, the dangerous exit of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, so that Liu Beikong had tens of thousands of troops and could not go out.

As a result, the Wu army held fast to the barrier and could not get out, and the Shu army challenged it several times to no avail.Taking advantage of his exhaustion, Wu Jun raided by water and set fire to the company's camp for [-] miles. So far, the Shu Han was locked in Yizhou and could not get out.

How similar is the situation facing the rebel army today to the predicament of Liu Bei, the ancestor of the Shu Han?

When Hong Chengchou saw the situation of the rebel army, he didn't want to praise him: Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi!
If Hong Chengchou is on his own, if he leads these many troops, I am afraid that he can only rely on his own excellent commanding skills to grind away the advantages of Zuo Guangxian, the Shaanxi general, and he has no other choice!
Now it is King Shun's turn to command, what methods will he use?
In fact, if we talk about cleaning up the current situation in Shaanxi, Zhang Shun has more methods.

For example, ordering Huanglong, who had sneaked into northern Sichuan and southern Shaanxi, to gather the "Thirteen Yellow Shakers" to cooperate with the main force of Xiao Qinhu who occupied Nanyang, and attack Zuo Guangxian and Gan Xuekuo from Wuguan.

Another example is to order the "River God" Huang Shoucai to lead the navy westward.Then the rebels took advantage of the navy to cross the Weihe River.In turn, with the help of the Weihe River, they marched from the other side of the river to Xi'an, Shaanxi Province.

Once Zuo Guang couldn't hold back and went out of the city to pursue him, he could take the opportunity to ambush and fight at night to defeat this beast in one fell swoop.

It's just that these methods take time and cannot be effective in ten and a half months.

Now Zhang Shun is not only competing with Daming for the world, but also competing with Hou Jin for the world!

As the saying goes, "the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will never come again."

The current situation in Shaanxi is conducive to the progress of the rebel army. If the time is vainly delayed, the chance of victory will be delayed in vain;

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing and said: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!"

"In Shaanxi, Zuo Guangxian is a veteran general, but he was defeated by the city of Luoyang once and defeated by Tianzhi in Tongguan twice."

"The law of war says: one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion! The officers and soldiers are defeated once and then lose, and the spirit has already weakened! How can you compete with me?"

"I want to beat the drums and attack the front, and break it under Huayin City in one fell swoop, okay?"

Are you crazy?Chief of Staff Hong Chengchou glanced at Zhang Shun, speechless.

Since ancient times, soldiers have been used to avoid the real and attack the virtual. "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Military Struggle" says: Do not attack the majestic formation without inviting the flag of righteousness, this is the one who controls change.Is there any reason to throw the lives of soldiers in vain?
Since Hong Chengchou had nothing to say, Chen Changbing, Li Mou, He Renlong, and Bai Guangen and his like couldn't offer any useful opinions.Some people even clapped their hands and praised Zhang Shun for using his troops like a god.

"What's so good about it?" Zhang Shun said, looking at the generals with a smile on hearing this.

"Uh..." The generals looked at each other speechlessly, and thought: We are just being polite, why should King Shun take it seriously?
"You, you, you!" Zhang Shun tapped one by one with his fingers, and finally tapped Hong Chengchou heavily, and then smiled, "Knowing it is knowing it, not knowing it is not knowing."

"If you agree with me, then tell me the reason! If you don't understand, then ask one, two, three! If you disagree, then tell me why!"

"This king has always been lenient and will not blame you and others. Why do you do such flattery and flattery?"

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but blushed when he heard the words, and then he reacted and asked quickly: "Could it be that King Shun wants to shock Shaanxi?"

"It's Mr. Hong who knows my heart well!" Zhang Shun nodded with a smile, and then looked at the other generals.

"Huh?" After being reminded by Hong Chengchou, Chen Changliang couldn't help but suddenly realized.

"That's right!" Zhang Shun said with a smile: "The art of war has its own theory of falsehood and reality. Of course there is a method of avoiding reality and attacking falsehood, but naturally there is also a technique of bluffing, showing that you can't, and using it to show that you don't use it."

"Shaanxi's officers and soldiers are already stretched thin, and there are Hou Jinhu who look at him. If he can't take advantage of the fact that he doesn't know my truth and reality, he can frighten his generation, and he will be pinched like a soft persimmon!"

"But, but, you have to win the fight." Chen Changzhu said weakly after hearing the words.

"How can we not win? Wait until tomorrow, set up my banner, bring my golden drum, and wait until I defeat this beast, and then tell the truth!" Zhang Shun said confidently.
