please make me king

Chapter 996 The Northern Expedition
On June [-]th of the eighth year of Chongzhen, it was sunny, and the summer harvest in Xi'an Mansion had just passed.

Zhang Shun, who had just occupied Xi'an and claimed to be the King of Qin, gave the order for the Northern Expedition.

Different from Zhang Shun's previous battles, this time not only the number of people was larger, but also the marching distance was over a thousand miles away.

For such a large-scale military operation, on the one hand, special personnel must be dispatched to transport food and grass, and on the other hand, the army must be marched in separate routes or in sections.

Now Lu Weiqi, the prime minister of Qin Wangfu, has confiscated tens of thousands of shi of grain, which has been able to temporarily meet the military rations of the rebel army.

But as far as the transportation is concerned, Hong Chengchou is responsible for recruiting [-] young men and nearly [-] ox carts in the counties of Chang'an, Xianning, Lintong, and Weinan for transportation.

Send Wei Zhiyou, Li You, and Li Daliang to lead [-] people as guards to escort the soldiers.

Chen Changbing stayed behind as the guarding general, and Li Mou was transferred to Weinan to support Xi'an or Tongguan at any time.

In terms of marching, the "breakthrough general" Li Zicheng and the "living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai were dispatched first to serve as vanguards in rotation, clearing roads across mountains and building bridges when encountering water.

Bai Guangen and He Renlong were also dispatched as the front army.

And Zhang Shun led Lu Xiangshengqi Barracks and Zhang Fengyichuan Barracks as the central army.

Tuo Yangkun supervised Zhao Guangyuan and Hui Dengxiang's third battalion followed closely as the rear army, while Zhang Tianlin supervised Ma Jinzhong, Liu Guoneng, Zhang Fatty, and Xue Rengui as the rear of the army as General Huaiyuan.

There is a saying: "If there are more than [-] people, there will be no boundaries. If there are more than [-] people, the earth will reach the sky."

Although Zhang Shun didn't have [-] people in his hands this time, only [-] troops could stretch for nearly ten miles. From a distance, it looked like a winding dragon, which was magnificent.

Along the way, Tangbao and messengers galloped like flying, constantly reporting to Zhang Shun the situation of the advancing left and right troops.

With the two daughters Gao Guiying and Zhang Fengyi accompanying him, he felt for the first time what it means to "wake up and hold the power of the world, and lie drunk on the lap of a beauty".

To be honest, although Zhang Shun has led the army for many years, commanding an expedition of [-] troops at one time like today is really the first time a girl has ever been on the sedan chair.

Because Xi'an has fallen, other states and counties have no leaders, and the rebel army is in a state of invincibility all the way.

"Report, Gaoling magistrate, please surrender. 'Chuang Jiang' has entered the county seat!"

"Report, 'Cao Cao' broke the Three Plains, beheaded its magistrates and canons!"

"Report, the 'Crossing General' broke through Yaozhou, and Zhizhou and its officials fled in all directions, missing!"

"Report! 'Living Cao Cao' has broken Fuzhou, killed its Zhizhou, please move to the state city in time for King Qin!"

"Okay!" Zhang Shun couldn't help clapping his hands and smiled when he heard the words, he knew that the long march was coming to an end.

Fuzhou, that is, Fuxian County, Shaanxi Province in later generations.

Located in the hilly and gully area of ​​the Loess Plateau in the north of Weibei, it has always been known as "Little Jiangnan on the Great Wall" and "Small Guanzhong in the North".

Fuzhou, that is, where the upper county of Qin and Han Dynasties is located.

The name of its governing place was called "Wujiao City" in ancient times, taking the meaning of "three rivers meet, five roads keep their throats shut", and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

During the War of Resistance Against Japan in the later generations, merchants gathered here, and it was the southern gate of the "Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia" border area, and most of the materials from northern Shaanxi were transported here for trade.

Now its land is connected to Yan'an in the north and Qingyang in the east, which is the most important place in northern Shaanxi.

Zhang Shun never imagined that this Fuzhou was easily broken by "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai.

They come, the security.

Regardless of the other party's plots and tricks, Zhang Shun had a large army at hand, so naturally he didn't worry about it, so he stayed in Yunzhou City that night.

This Fuzhou city is divided into two cities, the inner city and the inner city. The inner city is only two miles around, and its area is small.

The outer city is more than ten miles in circumference, and its size is no less than that of Xi'an and Luoyang.

While Zhang Shun arranged for Lu Xiangshengqi's barracks and Zhang Fengyichuan's barracks to live in the city, he sent Ma Jinzhong to lead [-] men under his command to attack Zhiluo Town to the west of Fuzhou overnight.

Zhiluo Town, also known as Zhiluo Inspection Department, is the only way to Qingyang, so Zhang Shun first sent people to occupy it.

"Fuck, let's talk about what to do? How can this guy be so cautious!" Liu Guoneng cursed "Crossing the Sky", and couldn't help turning his head to look at everyone.

While the other people sat around the campfire, their faces were even more sinister illuminated by the swaying firelight.

"It's okay, just be cautious!" "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai nodded and said, "You didn't get noticed by him when you came back from me that day?"

"How can it be? We are low-strength, and this servant is watching people order dishes. He didn't even visit us in person. He only sent a few servants to give us some gifts. Where can we find any clues?" "White Robe General" Xue Rengui and others said humanely .

"It's fine if you don't have one!" Luo Ru nodded and continued, "This guy has some skills in using soldiers."

"We chose this place with great difficulty, but we were blocked by him when we came up. This is not easy!"

"Then what should we do?" The others couldn't help asking.

"The way to use troops is to use fiction. Since he dares to come to our territory, he should be prepared to come and go!" "Live Cao Cao" Luo Rucai sneered.

"Zhiniang thief, it's just that his tens of thousands of Sichuan soldiers are too uncomfortable. The oil can't get in, the needle can't penetrate, and they can't understand half a sentence when they talk!" "Qi Wang" Fatty Zhang pouted Duan Caogen took two bites and spit it out.

"Whoever makes a good job, those silver baby women like this!" Liu Guoneng is still aggrieved when he thinks about it.

"Forget it, why talk about the past!" Luo Rucai glanced at Li Zicheng, and quickly winked at Liu Guoneng.

"If I could really capture her alive at that time, I'll give it to you, do you want it?"

"Yes, yes" Liu Guoneng couldn't bear it.

"Okay, okay!" Li Zicheng frowned and couldn't help but reach out to stop him.

"Don't say so many useless things, what happened to the connection?"

Luo Rucai hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and finally decided to tell the truth: "I didn't expect this guy to react so quickly, and the other side is not ready yet. You can only wait a few days before you have a chance to encircle him!"

"No, can we do it this way? Don't make wedding dresses for others. If you accidentally fail a major event, you will lose your own wealth and life!" Fatty Zhang, the "King of Neatness", hesitated and asked in a low voice.

"It will definitely work!" Luo Rucai sneered as he patted the dirt on his hands.

"I already know the methods of King Shun. It's nothing more than relying on generals like Zhang Tianlin, Bai Guangen, and He Renlong."

"But where does he want to get the soldiers under his command, most of them are my Yansui soldiers, native of the same town, all of them are our own people."

"As long as these generals die, then the 'Shunying' will have no leader, and I will take advantage of it!"

After Luo Ru finished speaking, seeing that "Chuang Jiang" Li Zicheng didn't say a word, he couldn't help asking: "'Chuang Jiang', you don't have any opinions, do you?"

"No!" Li Zicheng shook his head and said, "We have been friends for many years, do you still not trust me?"

"Besides, I do still have doubts about the matter of the Xing family. Even if I turn around and kill this guy, I will definitely investigate and find out!"
