Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 568 Departure and Return

When Zhang Shun heard that the summer grain was going to be gone again, he couldn't help but be shocked and asked quickly: "What should we do?"

As the saying goes: People are like iron, and rice is like steel. If you don’t eat one meal, you will be hungry! In his previous life, there were abundant supplies, but Zhang Shun was indifferent to these words.

Only when Zhang Shun came to this era and dealt with food all day long did he deeply understand how big a deal it was to have nothing to eat.

Think back to the beginning, if Mengjin hadn't been flooded and everyone had nothing to eat, would there have been a chance for Zhang Shun to take the opportunity to rebel and form the capital that he had just started?

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing. No matter how orthodox you are in the Ming Dynasty or whether you are King Shun or Ren Wang, as long as I am not full, I will turn against your mother!

Since the rebel army crossed the Yellow River. Everyone even worked early and late near Lu's Baodu Village, braving the risk of being discovered and surrounded by the imperial court, and cultivated 20,000 acres of thin farmland, wasn't it just to fill their stomachs?

Zhang Shenyan was already confident about this. He couldn't help but smile and said: "My lord, do you still remember that we were waiting to reclaim wasteland in Baodu Village? Lu's Mountain is high and cold, so we can only get one crop a year, so we plow in the spring and harvest in the autumn."

"And in this land in Henan, it has not been twice a year since ancient times. Before that, just like in the mountains, it was also once a year. Now that the autumn wheat has fallen, it is not too late to wait until spring to replant spring wheat. But this spring wheat The taste is far inferior to Qiumai!"

Along the way, Zhang Shun no longer paid so much attention to what millet, rice, millet and various beans he could eat. He couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Now as long as you are full, you will have nothing to worry about. How can you not care about the taste?"

The two parties talked for a long time, until Liu Rushi urged him several times outside the door, and Zhang Shun reluctantly said goodbye to Zhang Shenyan and went back to his room to rest.

Until the next morning, Liu Rushi still kept her mouth shut and said: "If the slave family hadn't invited us three times and five times, I'm afraid our master would have slept with Mr. Zhang!"

"If this is the case, why do you still marry so many women? Why not marry that Mr. Zhang and save yourself a lot of trouble!" Li Xiang, who had finally driven away the red lady, was even more resentful.

"Okay, okay, just stop talking!" Zhang Shun smiled and shook his head, "I'm talking about business!"

"What's the business? There's no movement in our stomachs right now. Isn't it the business?" Li Xiang opened her mouth and caught Zhang Shun's words, and said with a smile, "You still have to treat people's illnesses. How can you be so leisurely? It’s better to treat yourself first!”

Zhang Shun rolled his eyes and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you two!"

The three of them were talking and laughing in the house when they suddenly heard someone shouting outside the house. Li Xiang took Zhang Shun's clothes, winked at Liu Rushi and said, "Look who's here. Please invite him to the living room first. I'll be there later."

Not long after Liu Rushi left, he hurried back and said, "It's my sister-in-law Wang, along with Li, Tian, ​​Qian and their children who came to say goodbye to me and want to go to Kangjiazhuang to find my uncle!"

Zhang Shun was about to go out after hearing this, but Li Xiang quickly grabbed him and said, "You can pester them for a while, and I'll order someone to make clothes for each of the two children. After working overtime all night, I think it's almost done. I'll order Liu Rushi later." Get it and give it to them before leaving."

Zhang Shun complied and then went to the living room, where he saw Mrs. Wang walking around anxiously.

Zhang Shun hurriedly saluted and said in greeting: "Sister-in-law, did I neglect you all by not treating you well? Why don't you stay for a few days before leaving?"

The woman Wang opened her mouth and couldn't help but yawned. She hurriedly covered her mouth and responded with a bit of embarrassment: "King Shun, you're welcome, everything is fine with us. It's just that the three of us, sisters, haven't seen your adopted brother for a long time, and I really miss him!"

"We thought about it over and over again. There is no one to take care of Changzhi, and life is really difficult. Now that we have arrived here, we want to go to Kangjiazhuang as soon as possible, so that we can reunite as husband and wife!"

Zhang Shun saw that although Mrs. Wang was a little depressed, there was nothing unusual about her. After repeatedly asking to stay, he saw that she really wanted to leave, so he responded: "Since my sister-in-law and others want to leave, I won't try to stay anymore."

"It's just that the mountain road from Luoyang to Kangjiazhuang is rugged, and there are many thieves and strongmen. When I select more than a hundred elite men and let Wang Jinyi lead a few guards to go forward, I will feel at ease!"

"It doesn't matter that the four of us are women, and we are also from aristocratic families. We can also perform kung fu, swords, spears, swords and halberds inherited from our families, but we can't take it for granted!" The woman Wang couldn't help laughing when she heard this and said, "Forget it. , since King Shun is interested, we will agree. But we miss our husband very much, so we ask King Shun not to keep us waiting too long."

Zhang Shun complied and quickly called Wukong and asked him to tell Wang Jinyi that he had selected a hundred people from among his personal guards to escort Wang and others to Kangjiazhuang.

In his previous life, Zhang Shun watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and knew that something happened to Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, on Tao Qian's territory.

Big things are often ruined by trivial details. He was afraid that Wang and others would make mistakes, so he waited until all the calculations were completed.

Not long after, Li Xiang and Liu Rushi hurried over, talked with Wang and others for a while, and then gave the children a set of clothes. Only then did Wang Jinyi arrive with his people, and both parties waved goodbye. Wang Jinyi escorted them and left.

After Wang left, Zhang said goodbye to Li Xiang and Liu Rushi, and then went to Zhang Shenyan's residence, preparing to discuss political affairs with him.

As a result, as soon as the two sides got started, Wukong suddenly ran in panting and shouted: "Master, it's not good! A large number of people came from the south gate of Luoyang, and they rushed all the way to Luoyang City. He Jindang today Yes, I have already led the cavalry to harass him. I just sent people to report so that the city can prepare in advance!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. After he defeated Chen Qiyu last time, the imperial court dispatched troops again, which took at least ten days and a half. How could it happen so quickly this time?

Zhang Shun quickly ordered Zhang Sanbai, Xiao Qinhu, and Jiang He to get ready. He said goodbye to Zhang Shenyan and went to pick up armor and weapons, preparing to lead his troops out of the city to check the situation.

In addition to He Jin and He Yilong, who have been tested for a long time, among the rebels, Xiao Qinhu, Jiang He and Zhang Sanbai are the most worthy of Zhang Shun's trust. These three units were in the best combat readiness and were quite elite, so Zhang immediately thought of the three of them.

As a result, Zhang Shun had just put on his armor, and immediately another messenger came to report: "Don't worry, my lord, the visitors are Li Baihu and the 'King of Troubled Times' who have returned from Huguang!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help but be stunned, is it him? Didn't the "King of Troubled Times" hang out with the "King of Chuang", "King of Chuang", "Living Cao Cao" and the "Eight Kings"? How did the two of them get together now?
