Please ask me to be the emperor

That night, the Governor of Henan, Chen Qiyu, looked extremely ugly. He never expected that Wang Pu and Ni Chong would not be able to hold back the main force of the "thieves".

The return of the main force of the "thieves" not only caused considerable losses to the officers and soldiers, but also heralded the bankruptcy of Chen Qiyu's strategic intention to quickly attack Luoyang.

Because the "thief"'s cavalry returned so quickly, even the officers and soldiers' scouts had no time to report back, so He Renlong's tribe, which was in chaos with the driving people, was suddenly caught off guard.

Not long after, He Renlong ran in in a miserable state. Chen Qiyu looked up and saw this man with a panicked face, disheveled clothes and armor, and one hand holding his injured left shoulder.

When he saw Governor Chen Qiyu, he quickly knelt down and bowed his head to the ground. Unexpectedly, it didn't matter that He Renlong lay down. Chen Qiyu saw that there were still two arrows stuck in his back.

Chen Qiyu's heart tightened and he swallowed the words he was about to curse. This guy has been an official for a long time and knows the principle of using both grace and power.

Now that He Renlong is in such miserable condition, if he continues to reprimand him, it will inevitably add fuel to the fire.

Thinking of this, Chen Qiyu stood up quickly, helped He Renlong up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "General, why do you have to do this? Victory and defeat are common things for soldiers, but please rest a bit and settle the debt again tomorrow!"

He Renlong stabilized his mind a little, and then said in shock: "Superintendent, something terrible has happened! Do you know why I ended up like this today? The vanguard of the thieves who were chasing after them turned out to be Cao Wen, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army. Zhao’s nephew, Cao Bianjiao!”

What? Chen Qiyu felt his eyes go dark and almost fainted. He Renlong quickly stretched out his hand to support him. It took a long time for Chen Qiyu to stabilize his mind and murmured to himself: "How could this be? He, Cao Wenzhao, is also an official of the imperial court, how can he surrender to a thief?"

He Renlong was very angry as he was being chased by Cao Bianjiao. When he heard this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically: "What's the impossibility of this matter? Cao Wenzhao made great achievements in battle. He used the blood of many thieves along the way to dye his own blood red." Official robes. As a result, if he made a slight mistake when he was declared the emperor, he would be exiled from the army and sent to the army. How can he be convinced of this? "

Those of the first to fourth grades of the Ming Dynasty wear scarlet robes; the fifth to seventh grades of Ming Dynasty wear green robes; the eighth and ninth grades of the Ming Dynasty wear green robes.

Although warriors later no longer adhered to these systems, they always liked to wear official uniforms of fourth rank and above. However, most people still prefer to use the color of court clothes to represent rank.

Fei Pao is a red robe, and Cao Wenzhao, as the chief military officer, holds a high position in the second rank. He Renlong said that he dyed his official robe red with the blood of the rebels, which was pretty good.

Although He Renlong's words are suspected of judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, it is not bad according to common sense.

Chen Qiyu was shocked when he heard this. He turned to Yang Hualin and asked, "I asked you to contact Cao Wenzhao. What's going on now?"

Yang Hualin broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly stepped forward and said truthfully: "When I was about to talk about this, Cao Wenzhao claimed that he had arrived in Gong County. But there were no boats on the Yiluo River and there were water bandits harassing him. He couldn't cross the river in a hurry. It will probably take two or three days to arrive.”

"Nonsense!" Chen Qiyu became angry for no reason, "The Yiluo River is a traffic artery, connecting Luoyang and the Yellow River, so why are there no ships? I'm afraid this person already has his heart set on something!"

The generals looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, and after a long while they asked in a low voice: "What do you mean by the superintendent?"

Chen Qiyu calmed down a little, and then continued: "If Cao Wenzhao has resentment in his heart, no matter whether it is there or not, it is just a small detail. Just be afraid, the traitor will support King Fu, defend the legitimate concubine, follow the example of Jing Nan, and call him Qingjun, this is The trick confuses people’s minds, and it is inevitable that some people will speculate and try to get rich!”

"The imperial court has its own system. According to Cao Wenzhao's merits, even if he is given the title of Governor of the Left and ranks in the first rank, the dispatch of a general military officer will come to an end. The Dukes and Counts are beyond their reach! If there is really someone who can follow him Chengzu, if the peace is difficult to succeed, then what’s the point of the title?”

Generals He Renlong and Yang Hualin heard that their eyes were hot, and they couldn't help but test in a low voice: "Master Supervisor, what do you think of this matter?"

Although the generals were not asking "How feasible is this matter?" Governor Chen Qiyu couldn't help but feel horrified.

This rebellious minister and traitor known as "King Shun" is indeed the most capable of corrupting people's hearts. At this thought, Chen Qiyu couldn't help laughing and said: "This is the way to die! Now our Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses. There are only no less than 400,000 to 500,000 elites on the nine sides, not to mention the millions of people in the military camps in various places. Everyone. Once the imperial court frees up its hands and the army suppresses the territory, all the rebellious ministers and traitors will be turned into powder. How can this be moral?"

The generals felt a little at ease after hearing this and all said yes. Chen Qiyu then said: "Tonight our military carriages and camp supplies will arrive. Please step up your guard and beware of thieves attacking the camp. But tomorrow, we will form a formation to fight. Don't wait for Cao Wen's edict to avoid a long night and many dreams!"

The generals quickly received the order, not mentioning their own arrangements. That night, the infantry of the rebel army also arrived at Luoyang City and temporarily entered the city to rest. The officers and soldiers of the rebel army had nothing to do all night.

Early the next morning, after everyone had eaten breakfast, Zhang personally led his army out of the city to form an array. There are two cavalry units, He Jin and He Yilong, with a total of 1,000 cavalry. The "King of Zhishi", "King of Troubled Times", Wei Zhiyou, and Jiang He each have 500 infantry, divided on the left and right.

Xiao Qinhu's "Haierying" has more than 600 people, Zhang's 300 "Mao Hulu" have 1,000 people, Cao Bianjiao has 200 servants and 500 "Mao Hulu".

In addition, Zhang Shunyou sent out another thousand "Mao Hulu" people in the city, who were led by rangers Wu Xian and Wei Congyi.

In addition, Wei Congyi's cavalry of 200 people, Zhang Shun's 100 personal guards led by Wukong, and Wang Yidao's revenge camp of 200 people. A total of six to seven thousand soldiers and horses came out of the city to invite Chen Qiyu, the governor of Henan, to fight.

When Chen Qiyu saw Zhang Shun taking the initiative to attack, he did not dare to be careless. He also mobilized all the soldiers and horses in the camp and dismounted in formation along the Xianhe River on the left.

Chen Qiyu originally had 8,000 men under his command. However, he has suffered many losses in recent attacks on the city. Now he only has about 7,000 men, and his strength is not weaker than that of the rebels.

Chen Qiyu sent Yang Hualin to lead a thousand cavalry to protect the right wing, and He Renlong led more than a thousand cavalry as a surprise force. Liu Guozhen led the model battalion of 3,000 soldiers in front of the formation, and Liu Qian led 2,000 infantry in the formation on the right.

They were all surrounded by sidecars, with squatting cannons, French machine guns, general cannons, second general cannons, quick guns, and muskets placed in front of the cars.

Undaunted, Zhang Shun beat the drum and advanced, gradually approaching the formation of officers and soldiers for about two li.

When Chen Qiyu saw this, he asked the envoy to shout: "'Shun thief,' can you recognize this formation?"

Zhang Shun's voice became louder as he used the army for a long time. He didn't need anyone else to speak on his behalf, and directly answered loudly and with great energy: "How can you know it, but what can you do if you don't know it?"

"I'm sorry that you, a treacherous minister, don't understand! The art of war says: a chariot beats a horse, and a horse beats a foot. This chariot is strong and can stop the horse from trampling it; the artillery on the chariot is fierce, and can stop the infantry from attacking. This is a chariot formation. What can you do?" Chen Qiyu couldn't help laughing and replied.

Zhang Shun smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand and beat the drum hard twice and said: "What kind of drum is this? You know it!"

"It's just a big drum for the Chinese army. It's covered with cowhide, so there's nothing wrong with it!" Chen Qiyu said with a confident smile.

Zhang Shunyi smiled and said: "This is a drum to cry out for injustice! This drum also has a story. I wonder if Governor Chen has heard of it?"

"I'd like to hear the details!" Chen Qiyu didn't know what Zhang Shun was trying to do, so he just made a perfunctory statement.

"In June of the fifth year of Chongzhen, there was a flood in Mengjin, and countless people were killed and injured. Fortunately, God blessed me. Fuxi Temple showed me to warn me, and Guangwu Mausoleum showed me to live, and everyone was safe."

"Although everyone was alive, they had no food to eat and no clothes to wear. So I led the crowd to surprise Mengjin City and got this drum."

"I wonder why this drum is beating?" Zhang Shun asked suddenly loudly as he spoke.

When the rebels heard this, they couldn't help but subconsciously shout loudly: "Cry for injustice!"

"What grievances do we have?" Zhang Shun continued to ask loudly.

"Not willing to die!"

The grievances of the people were like the roar of the sea, like the mountains and rivers collapsing. The sky and the earth trembled as they shouted, and the wind and clouds changed colors!

Chen Qiyu couldn't help but change his face when he heard this: This child is so terrifying, he must not be kept!

Confucius said: If you have enough food, you will have enough soldiers! Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty can barely be called a sufficient soldier, but as for sufficient food, it is far away!
