please make me king

Chapter 906 Dilemma
The reason why Zhang Shun ordered the soldiers to retreat [-] miles to set up camp was not only because the army temporarily disengaged from the officers and soldiers to prevent being harassed by the officers and soldiers, but also because of the intention to crucify the officers and soldiers in Xi'an by taking advantage of the terrain outside the city.

Previously, the rebels were in a hurry to pursue Zuo Guangxian, the commander in chief of the Shaanxi army. The two sides fought once on a plateau about [-] li outside Xi'an.

However, the morale of the officers and soldiers was completely low, and they collapsed at the first touch. Zuo Guang couldn't get a firm foothold first, so he had to retreat to the city of Xi'an.

However, Zhang Shun is quite impressed with the terrain here. This is a relatively common "loess platform" in Shaanxi, and this place is also called "loess platform" by the locals.

However, this "loess platform" is amazing, and it happens to be sandwiched between two rivers.

The northeast side is [-] to [-] feet above the river, the southwest side is [-] to [-] feet above the river, and the south is a towering mountain. This is a natural city.

Therefore, since the rebel army could not capture Xi'an City in a short time, why couldn't they build another "city" outside Xi'an City to attract officers and soldiers to attack?
Zhang Shun's move is called "Strategic Offensive, Tactical Defense", which is quite ingenious for the later Republic of China to fill the islands in the South China Sea.

As the saying goes: "There is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?"

Zhang Shun led the rebel army to station outside the city of Xi'an. Naturally, the officials and common people in the city could not sleep or eat well. They were afraid that if they fell asleep, they would lose their heads the next day.

Seeing the retreat of the rebels, the city of Xi'an was filled with joy.

When the news spread to the provincial government office, a [-]-year-old man wearing a crown couldn't help but rejoice and said: "It's all thanks to the strength of the army and the general. The city of Xi'an was preserved and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. I will write a letter to the current Holy Majesty as soon as possible, and share the credit of the two of you!"

"King Qin is joking, this is a matter between the two of us. If the Holy One can remember one or two things, it will be a great grace to us!" A [-]-[-]-year-old man in official robes said with a smile .

It turned out that the two were Zhu Yifu, king of the Ming Dynasty, and Gan Kuoxue, governor of Shaanxi.

Both of them understand the reason why everyone carries the sedan chair. As long as everyone works together to report this matter, it will be a great achievement.

You don't tell me, I don't tell you, who knows whether the "Shun thief" walked by himself or was knocked away?

"Cough cough." Zuo Guang, the commander in chief of Shaanxi Province, coughed a few times quickly, seeing no one around, and then reminded, "Actually, how the thieves will retreat, we still have to talk about it."

"Of course, if General Zuo hadn't done his best to kill the bandits, we wouldn't have achieved such a great victory!" King Qin Zhu Yifu and Governor Gan Xuekuo couldn't help laughing.

"No, my lords, the key to this matter is whether the Shun thief will leave or not!" Zuo Guang smiled wryly first, and couldn't help but get the words out.

Do you think that Zuo Guangxian was defeated repeatedly, and he didn't want to find an excuse to "make meritorious service"?

However, the "Shun Thieves" were in such a hurry to chase him down, how could they retreat so easily, as if they wanted to kill him?
If the thief didn't retreat, and he and others reported the victory instead, what if the thief "returned the carbine" again?

"This..." Gan Xuekuo pondered for a while, and then responded in his Sichuan-style official language, "General Zuo's words are reasonable, but we must not let you brothers work hard in vain."

"In my opinion, we can report a 'small victory', that is, the thieves are coming aggressively, and we will work together to defeat the invading thieves."

"The leader of the thieves was shot, and all the thieves cried unceasingly, so they wrapped themselves in red cloth and left."

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's really wonderful!" King Qin Zhu Yi couldn't help but smiled and said, not half unhappy because Zhu's country was poached.

"Let me add one more point. In addition to this, we should send people to Liang Junmen for help in time. Let's say that the officers and soldiers killed the leader of the bandits, fearing that he will come back and take revenge on Xi'an City!"

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Shaanxi, couldn't help but said happily when he heard the words, "In this way, it's a great achievement for the thief to leave, and a great achievement for the thief to return, which is quite wonderful!"

The three discussed and decided, and they took action separately, or sent people out of the city to investigate the whereabouts of the rebel army, or made a petition to the court, or notified the new trilateral governor Liang Tingdong about the military situation in Xi'an, and so on.

Not long after, Liang Tingdong, the three-sided governor of Shaanxi who presided over the overall situation in Guyuan, received a personal letter from Qin Wang Zhu Yifu.

Liang Tingdong couldn't help being taken aback, and when he opened his eyes wide, his expression changed drastically.

Do you know why?

It turns out that since the civil uprising in Shaanxi, there have been many heroes, known as "thirty-six battalions and seventy-two families". In fact, as far as Zhang Shun saw, there were no more than a dozen other places. Where did the rest of the rebels go?

Naturally, they are all "fighting guerrillas" in Shaanxi!

In the original history, these rebels were beaten by Hong Chengchou and couldn't stand, so they had to flee to Henan, Huguang and other places, but they were killed by Lu Xiangsheng, so they couldn't do anything.

Now Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, the most ruthless among the officers and soldiers, were captured by Zhang Shun, and the dragons were leaderless, which led to the rise of the rebel army in Shaanxi.

Among them, "Scorpion Block" Tuo Yangkun is one of the best.

He was originally the general of the "Chuang Wang" Gao Yingxiang's fourth team. He was once very popular in history, and he was even called "Chuang Scorpion" together with the "Chuang Wang" Gao Yingxiang.

However, he was frustrated by Hong Chengchou several times later, his strength was greatly damaged, and he had to surrender to Sun Chuanting for a time.

In the end, he died in Hangu Pass, and was submerged in the rolling tide of history, not as famous as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong who survived.

However, now is the eighth year of Chongzhen, and it is the years when the strength of "Scorpion Block" has grown rapidly in history.

Although Zhang Shun wanted to integrate the Shaanxi Rebel Army, others might not have taken advantage of it.

Liang Tingdong, the newly-appointed governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, focused on dealing with the military threat from the Tartars, while "Scorpion Block" Tuo Yangkun and "Huntian Star" Huideng gathered [-] to [-] troops and surrounded the city of Pingliang Prefecture.

This Pingliang mansion is located at the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and is an important transportation hub in the Northwest region.

Pingliangfu City is located in the southwest of Guyuan, and Xi'an Prefecture is just in the southwest of Pingliang Prefecture. In this way, the traffic between Guyuan and Xi'an has just been cut off.

Of course, this is not a big problem. The biggest problem is that there happens to be another Han Palace in the city of Pingliang Mansion, which is where the Daming Han Fan resides.

This Han Fan was originally the feudal state of Zhu Song, the [-]th son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

After Jingnan, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di gave up the land of Sanwei in Daning, and Kaiyuan was too close to the frontier fortress to allow the vassal king to live, so he changed the vassal to Pingliang Prefecture, Shaanxi.

This change does not matter, it is more than [-] years later, and now Liang Tingdong, the new governor of Shaanxi Province, has been cheated.

Straight mother thief, Liang Tingdong couldn't help cursing, this old Zhu's family is too good at giving birth.

Pingliang belongs to the Han clan, Xi'an belongs to the Qin clan, and the left and right sides are all blood of the Zhu family. Unfortunately, I have only tens of thousands of people in the hands of the majestic governors of the three sides. What can I do for the "shun thief"!
