please make me king

Chapter 931 Crisis

The rebel army is looking for an opportunity to fight decisively with the officers and soldiers, but in fact the officers and soldiers are also looking for an opportunity to fight decisively with the rebel army.

Because of the covetousness of Jin outside the customs, everyone does not want to be reaped by a third party, so they are a little impatient to wait.

Therefore, when Zhang Shun left Luoyang and tried to seize Guanzhong.Not only Zhang Shun saw the opportunity, but also the court Yang Sichang and others also saw the opportunity.

They all wrote a letter saying: "The thieves started in the Tianqi period and corrupted the north. It has been eight years now."

"Now the bandit chieftain 'Shun Bandit' is arrogant and wants to seize my Shaanxi. This is a good opportunity from God, and it's time to wipe out this beast in one fell swoop!"

"I hope that His Majesty will issue an order as soon as possible to gather officers and soldiers from all over the world, defeat Nanyang in one fell swoop, recover Heluo, and then suppress the bandits in Shaanxi, so as to restore peace to the world!"

Since Chongzhen ascended the throne for eight years, he often talked about military affairs with his courtiers. Even the dullest people have some experience.

He didn't know that now is the time when the rebel army is empty, so he couldn't help but said happily: "As expected, the world will turn from danger to safety!"

So he sent eunuchs to the Quartet to issue orders and urge the governor to march in time to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop.

Just before Xiong Wencan, the governor of Huguang got the order, he just finished training the soldiers and cast another twenty red barbarian cannons, and the remaining six or seven western cannons of various colors were full of ambition and ready to make great achievements in the world.

Therefore, he sent soldiers to surprise Xinye County to open the road to Nanyang.

It's just that the two sides had a small fight before, and Zhennan General Xiao Qinhu didn't take it seriously, but ordered Liu Xiyao and Wu Xian, the "King of Fighting for the World" stationed in Dengzhou and Tang County, to assist the "King of Sweeping" to take back Xinye City .

Unexpectedly, Xiong Wencan, governor of Huguang, had already prepared for it. He personally led the four generals Xu Chengming, You Zhaiwen, Zhang Yingchang, You Shiwei, Zhang Waijia, and Xinlian Township, Firearms Battalion, and Yangtze River Navy, a total of more than [-] people. The Baihe River advances on both land and water, heading straight for Nanyang City.

The journey from Xinye to Nanyang is only a hundred miles away. Xiong Wencan originally thought that he could defeat Nanyang by doing both.

Unexpectedly, since Xiao Qinhu was entrusted to Nanyang by Zhang Shun, he has been sleepy all night, and dare not slack off in the slightest.

Not only do I communicate with other generals from time to time, but I also take time out every day to personally inspect the city defense, patrol and other things.Therefore, Nanyang City has been on high alert.

Xiong Wencan, the governor of Huguang, failed to steal the chicken, but was spotted by Xiao Qinhu. He sent He Yilong to lead the cavalry to fight back, hurting morale.

Immediately afterwards, the "Sweeping King" Zhang Yichuan, the "Contesting King" Liu Xiyao, and Ren Guangrong's three battalions joined forces to attack Xinye, intending to cut off the retreat of the officers and soldiers.

Xiong Wencan had no choice but to lead the army back to Xinye and drive away the three men before he stabilized his position.

At the beginning, Zhennan General Xiao Qinhu didn't know Xiong Wencan's truth, and said that this time the rebels suffered from the surprise attack by officers and soldiers, and only reported it based on the judgment of the two sides' small fight.

Then Lu Weiqi didn't know soldiers at all, and he was thousands of miles away, how could he know what was going on in Nanyang?So this is what Lu Weiqi said earlier.

It's just that Lu Weiqi doesn't know soldiers, but Zhang Shun knows soldiers.

As soon as the officers and soldiers moved, he knew that the movement was wrong.

Zhang Shun was like a mirror in his heart. He was on duty and knew the huge gap between the rebel army and the officers and soldiers in terms of occupied areas, personnel, supplies, and the number of troops.

That's why he tried his best to beat the slow with the fast, and obtained a stable site enough to protect himself before the old and decaying empire reacted.

It's just a matter in the world, how can it be satisfactory?
At the critical moment when Zhang Shun was preparing to compete with the officers and soldiers for Shaanxi, such an accident happened.

If one is not handled properly, the entire rebel army may be in danger of being destroyed.

Seeing little knowledge, only from Huguang governor Xiong Wencan's unusual actions, Zhang Shunpin has an unusual taste.

Is this the Huguang Governor Xiong Wencan's risky dispatch of troops alone, or is the imperial court planning it for a long time?

If the imperial court has planned for a long time, how many soldiers and horses have they prepared this time, and how are they going to attack?
Zhang Shun thought a lot in an instant, and a cold sweat couldn't stop breaking out from Zhang Shun's forehead.

"What's the matter, Your Highness King Shun?" Seeing that Zhang Shun's expression was wrong, Lu Weiqi couldn't help asking strangely.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm just a little surprised!" Zhang Shun thought for a while, and thought: All of this is still conjecture, and don't get confused.

So, he made a haha, so as not to shake the morale of the army because of his groundless guess.

After the two parties made some polite remarks, Zhang Shun quickly cut through the mess and ordered: "The reason why the king called you here is to prepare to take back the land of Shaanxi, and to consolidate the occupied areas."

"Lv Weiqi temporarily serves as the magistrate of Huazhou, Dong Duxing temporarily serves as the county magistrate of Lintong, Li Jiqi temporarily serves as the county magistrate of Weinan, Zhang Luxuan temporarily serves as the magistrate of Huayin, and the teacher... the teacher went to Li Mou's camp to borrow [-] people to occupy Luonan , and temporarily served as magistrate."

"This..." Shi Zuonai was one of the "Three Friends of Sigu" who had taken refuge in Zhang Shun at the beginning, and he was also quite talented, so he couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

In the world, it is considered wise and courageous for many civil servants to take office alone, but in the end, they have to take down the place where they took office. What do people say?
But Shizuo is not an ordinary person, he just nodded his head when he heard the words.

Zhang Shun thought he was going to say something, but seeing that his face didn't change, he couldn't help wondering: "Are you sure?"

"Not sure!" Shi Zuo shook his head honestly, "It's just that I know that King Shun invited me to do something, not to kill me. I just need to follow orders."

"Okay, so brave!" Zhang Shun exaggerated, and then explained, "Luonan is located in the mountains, and the folk customs are simple and tough, and there are only small mountain roads and outside traffic."

"I'm not afraid at all. What I'm afraid of is occupied by officers and soldiers, threatening our army's supply roads, so I send you there."

"It may be difficult to go here, please act carefully!"

"Yes, I will take the order!" Master Zuo said honestly.

"Okay!" Zhang Shun glanced appreciatively, then turned his head and said to the others, "Xu Quan, since you want to lead the army, there are exactly five thousand good men in my camp, but they lack armor and poor weapons. For now, I have you." Leader, can you object?"

"Ah? The last general has no objection!" Xu Quan also knew that Zhang Shun was using a lot of troops, and there was a shortage of troops under his command. How could he have the wealth to lead him?
At first, he thought that only if he won the battle later, would he have the surrendered troops for him.

He never expected that there would be [-] men and horses as soon as he arrived, so he couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly thanked Zhang Shun.

"Wen Tingzhang and Zhang Shifan, you two stay by my side first, and share some daily affairs for me. It will be of great use in the future, okay?" The two said.

The two men saw that there were many soldiers and horses in the camp and the affairs were complicated, and they also knew that Zhang Shun wanted to use them more, so they quickly agreed loudly.

After finishing the business affairs, Zhang Shunyou arranged a banquet for everyone.

After finally waiting for the crowd to disperse, he pulled Lu Weiqi and said in a low voice: "I'm worried that Huguang Governor Xiong Wencan's plans are not small, but you are in Huazhou. Just in case the officers and soldiers are cut off from the way back!"
