Please ask me to be the emperor

Immediately following Song County, Zhang Shun was unexpectedly surprised. Originally, he was planning to wait for Cao Bianjiao to finish setting up camp in Yique, and then take the time to attack the city himself.

Now that Song County has been conquered, Zhang Shun cannot sit comfortably in Luoyang Mansion. Song County is extremely important to Zhang Shun's strategy of defending Luoyang, and reliable people must be sent to defend it to ensure nothing goes wrong.

As for Cao Bianjiao, as a newly subordinated general who joined Zhang Shun's command, being able to let him lead the army was the greatest trust Zhang Shun gave him.

If you don't keep him by your side and monitor him, but instead send him to station outside, there's no guarantee that he won't switch sides at the critical moment!

Zhang Shun was confused as to who could replace Cao and guard the side.

Although Xiao Qinhu was his sworn brother, he never had the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, not to mention that he was now leading his soldiers to fight against Zhang Quanchang across the Yellow River.

As his right-hand man, Zhang Shenyan cannot leave for a moment. As his own mastermind, Song Xiance had no management skills except for some strategies.

After much deliberation, the only solution was to send a military general and a civilian official.

Currently, there are Zhang Sanbai, Liu Cheng, Jiang He, He Jin, He Yilong, Zhao Lizi and others under his command. Both the "King of Zhishi" and the "King of Chaos" followed Xiao Qinhu to defend the officers and soldiers in Mengjin, and were unable to escape for the time being.

Zhang Sanbai has twice commanded on his behalf. He is a general that Zhang Shun plans to train vigorously, so he is not ready to let him go for the time being.

After much thought, only Liu Cheng, who had made great achievements, was the most suitable. Not only did he have enough military exploits to deter the gentry and students who were ready to move in Song County, but he also had cavalry with high rate and mobility to support Luoyang.

After thinking about this, Zhang Shun smiled and said to Zhang Shenyan: "Cao and Xu are really good at it. Now that Song County has been conquered, I don't think I have to leave for a while."

Zhang Shenyan had been in the officialdom for many years, so he didn't know what Zhang Shun was thinking. This clearly shows that they are worried that Cao Bianjiao and Xu Quan will set up separate camps and escape from their control.

So, Zhang Shenyan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, my lord needs to be careful. I don't know who my lord wants to lead to avoid accidents on the way!"

Zhang Shenyan's question was very reasonable, and Zhang Shun couldn't help but laugh: "Luoyang City is related to the foundation of our rebel army. We cannot be careless. Please give Mr. Zhang more thought. This time, I plan to lead my soldiers and Liu Cheng's cavalry went to Song County, and they returned in three to two days, or four to five days!"

Zhang Shenyan's mind immediately flashed the evil look of Liu Cheng, with his bald head and pockmarked face, and he couldn't help but said happily: "This man does have that kind of talent, it's rare for the Lord to favor him!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile at each other and said, "He who knows me is my father!"

It is a hundred and sixty miles from Luoyang City to Songxian County. Zhang Shun, riding a light horse, arrived at Songxian County in only one and a half days.

Cao Bianjiao and Xu Quan didn't know the reason and couldn't help being shocked. The deputy leader Fu Yuren, the student member Liu Yuejiang, and the guard Wei Zhiyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and were a little touched because of Zhang Shun's attitude of paying so much attention to them.

Although Fu Yuren, Liu Yuejiang and Wei Zhiyou are not great talents, they are all experienced people.

They quickly ordered people to slaughter pigs, sheep, chickens, geese, fruits and vegetables of all kinds, and some wine to entertain Zhang Shun and his generals. Although the rest of the soldiers were not rich enough, they all had a piece of meat and a bowl of wine.

Reciprocating the favor, Zhang Shun took the deputy director Fu Yuren and the student member Liu Yuejiang to the banquet and said: "I have admired you two for a long time. Why is the county magistrate here now? I respect him as a person and it is inconvenient to talk to you two more."

"I heard that the people in the county say that the two of them are the right-hand men of the magistrate He Fu. Without the help of these two, the magistrate He Fu may not be able to secure the city of Song County and achieve a lifetime of fame!"

Although the two of them knew that Zhang Shun could only say a few polite words, these words just tickled their itch.

The two of them were originally literati, and they had always envied Uncle Liu Huang's treatment when he visited the thatched cottage. Seeing Zhang Shun's sincerity, they couldn't help but have the impulse in their hearts that "a scholar will die for a confidant."

Everyone knows the principle of "everyone carrying the sedan chair". Fu Yuren and Liu Yuejiang also quickly praised: "The general has done such a big thing at a young age. He may not be able to achieve great achievements in the future."

What "accomplishment"? Everyone knew it well and couldn't help but smile at each other.

When Wei Zhiyou saw Zhang Shun talking and laughing with the scribes Fu Yuren and Liu Yuejiang, he couldn't help feeling upset. He thought to himself: "I have the military power. If my lord hadn't surrendered, how could you, King Shun, have been able to enter the city so easily and be happy?"

He had no choice but to pour a few bowls of wine and drink it with Cao Bianjiao. After feeding each other seven or eight bowls, they became a little tipsy and unsteady on their feet.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Shun asked Xu Quan to step in, said, "Excuse me for a moment," and walked over with a bowl of wine.

When Wei Zhiyou saw that it was Zhang Shun, he asked unhappily: "Why did King Shun come so late?"

At the beginning of the siege, Zhang Shun did not come. Wei Zhiyou asked questions clearly and made a pun.

Zhang Shun knew what he meant and said with a smile: "General Wei made a mistake today! This is not because King Shun is late, but because you are late!"

"We, the warriors, are impatient of the red tape of the literati, and have always been straight forward and straight away. Leading the troops in battle depends solely on strong armor, sharp swords, and the lives of the soldiers. There is no falsehood. If General Wei is not here, don't wait until I come to attack the city. I'm afraid that Song County will no longer exist when 'General Chuang' is here! General Wei is really the mainstay of Song County."

"I have been looking forward to General Wei for a long time. Now that General Wei has switched sides and surrendered, Zhang is so happy that he personally leads his cavalry for more than a hundred miles a day just to meet General Wei!"

"Now that we can meet each other, General Wei is still majestic. I am not happy about Song County, but I am not happy about the general! With General Wei willing to fight with Zhang in all directions, why worry about the uncertainty of the world? Let me offer the general a bowl of wine and express my feelings. !”

When Zhang Shun spoke, Wei Zhiyou almost burst into tears. With some drunkenness, he said: "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and it is King Shun who knows me!" Then he drank it all.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but give a thumbs up, said "OK", and drank it all in one gulp.

Wei Zhiyou also finished drinking the wine, and the grievance in his heart disappeared. He began to think about Zhang Shun, and asked with some worry: "I was originally under the command of 'General Chuang', was sentenced and surrendered, and now I am following King Shun. He If Huang Lai'er, the 'Chuang Jiang', knew about it, wouldn't it make things more difficult for King Shun?"

The principle is such a principle, and the words are such a word. It's just that there are many things that Zhang Shun has done to make "Chuang Jiang" unhappy, and there are not many things like him.

So, Zhang smiled and said: "A man is born in heaven and earth, and he does things according to his heart. I, King Shun, do what I do, how can I look forward and backward? Brother Wei, please put your heart in your stomach. Huang Lai'er has something to say, but Talk to me!"
