Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 554 Ordinary People

Is Zhang Shun considered an ordinary person?

There are one hundred Hamlets in the eyes of one hundred people, and there are one hundred Zhang Shun in the eyes of one hundred people.

According to Zhang Shun's own opinion, he doesn't believe in the slightest bit of talk about being "born with different faces" and "the right one". He feels that he is just an ordinary person.

The reason why I was able to achieve this achievement is that I made the right choice, apart from some mistakes.

However, in Song Xiance's eyes, this is the "true dragon" that he has been searching for for many years! Previously, Zhang Shun was a "hidden dragon, don't use him". He stayed in an ordinary village and made a living by farming like a carp.

Result, time, fate! This person turned into a dragon when encountering wind and rain. In just two years, he was able to control the wind and rain in the land of China and laid a huge foundation.

However, Zhang Shun not only did not become arrogant and extravagant because of this, but he was always vigilant and did not dare to slack off. This was the sign of "seeing a dragon in the field". This further strengthened the old Taoist priest's confidence that one day he would be able to see Zhang Shun's "flying dragon in the sky".

In Zhang Shenyan's eyes, Zhang Shun was originally a "cunning and despicable" person. But since he took refuge with Zhang Shun, Zhang Shun became a "cunning and despicable" person in the eyes of his enemies.

For Zhang Shenyan, having such a master with his own tricks was a bit tiring, but he was also very happy. Sometimes, he couldn't help but think to himself in private: How great it would be if the man from the capital had Zhang Shun's skills!

For a veteran like Cao Wenzhao, Zhang Shun is definitely a headache. This guy doesn't seem to have much to offer, but he has an indescribable intuition about the battlefield.

This was the case when Cao Wenzhao led his troops to cross the Yellow River, and it is also the case now when Chen Qiyu tried to attack in three directions.

Don't look at Pinghua novels, there are often famous generals who defeat more with less. In fact, upon closer inspection, the gap in military strength between the two sides is not that terrible.

According to Cao Wenzhao's experience, when the difference in soldiers between the two sides exceeds 30%, it will be very difficult for the side with fewer soldiers to fight.

Governor Chen Qiyu commanded a total of 21,000 troops this time, which was equivalent to four times the strength of Zhang Shun's command. Not to mention that the two sides were engaged in field battles, even if Chen Qiyu took the opportunity to attack the city, he basically met the conditions for being able to surround the enemy with three times the force.

As a general, Cao Wenzhao wanted to be on the winning side. Originally, the court still had loyalty to him to restrain him, but now Zhang Shun raised the banner of "Fu Wang" and provoked the "concubine dispute". As a result, whether the court was still orthodox, Cao Wenzhao also wavered on this point.

The weight of this excuse gradually increased in Cao Wenzhao's mind: "Blessings come to Shun but not Shun."

To be honest, when Zhang Shun heard that Cao Wenzhao was about to surrender, dozens of thoughts suddenly went through his mind. Regardless of whether it was true or not, Zhang Shun smiled and responded loudly: "I have always been thirsty for talents. If General Cao brings people to submit, I will definitely sweep the bed and wait for you. Why dare you not say anything?"

In fact, Zhang Shun had already seen a dispute among the officers and soldiers from a distance, so he added fuel to the fire to see what happened to Cao Wenzhao.

When Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang heard this, their faces turned pale. The two men jumped up quickly, drew out the swords from their waists, and shouted loudly: "Cao Wenzhao wants to be a thief, all the troops will follow me to fight against the thief!"

Cao Wenzhao shook his head and ordered Cao Dingjiao to lead his left and right servants to surround the two men and their guards. Then he sighed: "Two general soldiers, we have been colleagues for many years. King Shun has always been benevolent and righteous, so why should you do this?"

Cao Wenzhao knew what these two people meant. In order to save the family, Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang were ready to kill themselves.

"It is better for one person to die than for the whole family to be killed!" Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang responded painfully, "General Cao is a man of great talent. You all should follow General Cao!"

"If someone succeeds in his or her career in the future, I hope that I can look after my old friend and take care of him. I will be satisfied!"

After saying this, Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang pounced forward, threw themselves on the swords and spears of Cao Dingjiao's servant, and died holding the blades.

With General Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang dead, Cao Wenzhao had no way to retreat. He pushed aside Cao Dingjiao and his servants, and walked to the corpses of Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang. He saw that the two of them could only breathe in, but had no breath left.

Cao Wenzhao reached out and gently applied it to the eyes of Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang, closing their glaring eyes. He also called Cao Dingjiao and killed the trembling supervisors with a knife.

Then he waved his cloak behind him, pushed the golden mountain, toppled the jade pillar, bowed his head and said: "His Royal Highness King Shun, now that Cao has killed the people who were restraining him, and has sincerely surrendered to the rebel army, please take him in!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Zhang Shun had already seen it clearly from the other side and couldn't help but said with great joy, "General Cao abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. This is a great joy. Today I am not happy to defeat Chen Qiyu and kill the imperial governor, but I am happy to win the general. !”

"Where is Huang Shoucai? Send a boat quickly to help me cross the river. I will personally help General Cao up!"

Xiao Qinhu, Ma Yingniang and Zhang Sanbai were shocked when they heard this, and quickly admonished: "How can the general (lord) put himself in danger? If Cao Wenzhao is deceitful and waits for an opportunity to hijack the general, wouldn't he risk his own death?"

"Even if Cao Wenzhao does not take the opportunity to kidnap the general, if he takes the opportunity to enter the city and kill the general, the rebel army has been fighting for a long time and is already exhausted. How can he resist? The general (lord) please think twice before acting!"

Zhang Shun knew what they said was reasonable, but now the rebels and the officers and soldiers were suspicious of each other. If he wanted to truly surrender to this group of officers and soldiers, how could he win the trust of others if he didn't take the lead in showing some sincerity?

Zhang Shun knew that there must be many people in history who were violently provoked when they were subduing generals and soldiers, and died before their ambitions were fulfilled. There are also many people who take the opportunity to establish their own position in one fell swoop and stay one step ahead of other opponents.

What the outcome will be depends on one's ability and one's luck. Zhang Shun always felt that he was lucky and wanted to give it a try.

Not long after, Huang Shoucai personally led a ship to the shore to meet Zhang Shun. As soon as the two met each other, Huang Shoucai remonstrated in a low voice: "Cao Wenzhao is a fierce and fierce man and cannot be surrendered. If the lord wants to go, please let Huang change into the lord's clothes. If Cao Wenzhao really attacks, It is not a pity that Huang died, so he left King Shun behind to save the people of the world!"

"My uncle absolutely cannot do such a thing!" Cao Bianjiao came over just in time. Hearing Huang Shoucai's words, he couldn't help but said angrily, "Please King Shun let the rebels tie me up. If my uncle has other intentions, please kill me." I’ll thank the world!”

Seeing that they were quarreling again, Zhang Shun smiled and said: "Cao Wenzhao is a famous general in the world. On the battlefield, life and death is the right thing. But now that this person has surrendered to me, he will definitely not do this!"

"Brother Xiao, Ying Niang and Bianjiao, please wait a moment. Brother Wukong, Huang and I will come as we go."

Although Zhang Shun said it lightly, in fact, he had already made some calculations in his heart. Ma Yingniang is the woman who loves her, and she absolutely cannot let him be in danger. Xiao Qinhu is her sworn brother. If there is an accident, firstly, she can calm the situation, and secondly, she can find ways to save herself.

Only Cao Bianjiao, as long as he doesn't cross the river, is a piece of fish on the chopping board, and he is not afraid of him escaping from his grasp!

As for those who follow him, Wukong is very skilled in martial arts and can prevent Cao Wenzhao from suddenly attacking; Huang Shoucai has unparalleled water skills and can protect himself by jumping into a river to escape if he is trapped by officers and soldiers.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun led Wukong and several personal guards, and boarded Huang Shoucai's ship in a swaggering manner, just like ordinary people going on a trip, without any fear.
