Chapter 788 Offensive and defensive changes

When Zhang Shun saw He Renlong taking the initiative to ask for a job, how could he not agree?

The reason why he beat these people was because they refused to take the initiative and deliberately paddled.

Zhang Shun smiled when he heard this and said: "In that case, there is really one thing that must be done by you!"

"As the saying goes: it's disrespectful to come back but not come back. That 'Right Stone' didn't knock him for a few days, and his skin was so itchy that he actually dared to come and compete with our army for the city? Tomorrow morning, we must show him how powerful he is!"

Are you going to take the initiative? To be honest, after confronting the officers and soldiers for so long, the food and grass were consumed like running water, and Li Xin and others had already felt distressed.

Li Xin couldn't help but perked up after hearing the words, and stepped forward to admonish: "The attack on the city is a last resort and takes time. I expected that Zuo Liangyu must not know about King Shun himself, so why not attack at night to achieve miraculous results?"

Niu Jinxing followed Zhang Shun back to the north, and the two discussed repeatedly along the way. He had already figured out Zhang Shun's thoughts clearly.

So Niu Jinxing smiled meaningfully and said: "General Li's plan is a good one. He only knows one but not the other. King Shun seems to be here, but his intention is over there. This call is like knocking on the mountain to shake the tiger, or hitting the cow across the mountain. It cannot be treated as ordinary military tactics!"

Li Xin was stunned and asked why. Niu Jinxing told him in detail, and Li Xin couldn't help but marvel.

The words are divided into two parts, not to mention how Zhang Shun cares about it. Let's talk about Changping's commander-in-chief Zuo Liangyu, who has been having a bad time recently.

With the help of the noble Hou Xun, he led elite troops and strong generals. However, he was defeated many times and was really ashamed to meet his old friend.

Finally, this time the opponent was not the "Shun Thief" himself, but in the end, he was defeated by an unknown person. It was really a shame and a great humiliation.

After Zuo Liangyu was defeated and returned to Yuzhou, he was always depressed.

However, because he only had one battalion under his command, he was unable to regain his position.

Therefore, in addition to drinking and having fun every day, Zuo Liangyu wrote to Fu Zonglong, strongly requesting officers and soldiers to send troops to Jiaxian County to fight to the death with the rebels.

How could Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, care about him? After many urgings to no avail, Zuo Liangyu had no choice but to stay in Yuzhou and see how he responded.

Early that morning, Zuo Liangyu had just practiced bow and horse, and was sweating profusely, and was about to go back and wipe it off.

I saw the soldiers hurried over and reported: "General, the thieves suddenly led a large army to attack the city and have reached the outside of the city!"

Zuo Liangyu was shocked when he heard this. He immediately went back to his room and put on his armor. Then he led his guards to the city to take a look. He saw a forest of flags in the south of the city and brightly colored armor. He estimated that there were five or six thousand people.

Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but raised his palms and smiled: "With just these few troops, do you still want to capture the city where Zuo is stationed?"

"Hurry up and prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone with me. I want a letter to the Fu army, asking him to send troops to come quickly, just in time to avenge the previous shame!"

The Art of War says: If you are ten, you are surrounding it, if you are five, you are attacking, and if you are twice as many, you are dividing it.

The rebel army only has twice the number of officers and soldiers, so it is of course difficult to capture a defended city.

As a veteran general, Zuo Liangyu knew this very well and was not too worried.

Yuzhou is the ancient Junzhou, and is famous all over the world for its Jun porcelain, one of the five famous porcelains.

By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, "the Central Plains states suffered the most from the Yuan Dynasty war, with piles of corpses and few residents." As a result, the porcelain industry collapsed and could only produce daily coarse porcelain.

Fortunately, Yuzhou has a good location and foundation, and it has once again become one of the four largest medicinal materials markets in the country.

"Jinbu Huan" and Baiyao are commonly used by the rebels to treat sword wounds. The main ingredients of Panax notoginseng, frankincense, myrrh and other medicinal materials are purchased here.

By the time of Wanli, in order to avoid Emperor Zhu Yijun's taboo, the place was renamed Yuzhou.

The circumference of Yuzhou City is more than nine miles, with a total of four gates, which is even larger than the eight miles and 340 paces of Luoyang City.

This place controls the suburbs of Bian and Luo, and leads to the roads of Ru and Ying (Ying is called Xuzhou). The mountains and rivers are winding and the situation is dangerous.

Once the police are called, this will be a serious problem. If its roots reach Huai and Mian, rely on Xiang and Deng, and run vertically and horizontally to the north, the gap will not be limited, and Cheng Gao will not be able to rely on it.

In the past, when the Mongols attacked the Jin Dynasty in Henan, they first fell into Junzhou and Bian was unable to defend it.

Although Zuo Liangyu could not know such details, he also knew that this place was an important transportation road, and Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, would definitely not abandon it.

Before the rebels could lay siege to the city, the officers and soldiers quickly sent out more than ten horses and headed straight to Xuzhou in the southeast.

Zhang Shun saw clearly outside the city and had prepared cavalry to follow him. Then, He Renlong was ordered to lead his troops to attack tentatively.

The city of Yuzhou is strong and there are veteran generals guarding it. How can they attack it in an instant?

Not to mention how the two sides attacked and defended Yuzhou City, but also that the messenger left Yuzhou City without anyone stopping him along the way.

Ninety miles from Yuzhou to Xuzhou, the soldiers galloped and arrived at Xuzhou City that night.

Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan Province in Xuzhou City, had just finished dinner and was reading a letter sent by Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transportation and governor of Fengyang.

At this time, the servant reported the matter to him, and then brought Zuo Liangyu's messenger to submit the letter.

Fu Zonglong opened the letter with a dark face, glanced at it briefly, threw it aside and said: "I know, let's go down!"

When the messenger heard this, he realized that what he said was wrong. He knelt down and begged: "Thieves are everywhere, and the people of Yuzhou are waiting for them. Please send troops to rescue the siege as soon as possible..."

"You talk in one way, have you memorized it beforehand?" Fu Zonglong snorted coldly when he heard this, "It's just two battalions of men and horses, what is it worth?"

"Report to your commander-in-chief and tell him what this court said. Let him defend Yuzhou for half a month. He will be credited with the first prize!"

Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, added the title of Youqiandu Censor of the Duchayuan, and the full name was Youqiandu Censor, Governor of Henan and other places, so he called himself this court.

"This..." This messenger was Zuo Liangyu's confidant and had sharp words, so Zuo Liangyu sent him here specially.

Sure enough, this man lived up to his expectations and couldn't help but question: "This city is dead, but the people are alive. Although there are few thieves now, it does not mean there will always be few. If the thieves see that our army is weak and wait for an opportunity to besiege, I am worried about the left The commander-in-chief is unable to resist and ruins Fujun’s important mission!”

"If you can't resist, you have to resist!" Fu Zonglong snorted and scolded sternly, "The imperial court has been raising people for three hundred years. Today is the day of death for justice!"

"I know who you are, let me tell you the truth!"

"Now the two thieves 'Chuang' and 'Cao' are coming from the east and are endangering the Zhou vassal, so we must save them. And Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transportation and governor of Fengyang, led more than ten thousand elite soldiers to follow them. If we wait for an opportunity to intercept them, we will definitely be able to Attack from the front and back and defeat them in one fell swoop.”

"Then merge into one place, send the army to the east, defeat the "Shun Thieves" again, and enter the Si River and Zhiyuan Pass in the west. Heluo can be restored and the world can be settled!"

"Otherwise, if the thieves attack us from both front and rear, we will not be able to defend ourselves. If the thieves join forces together, the world will be in ruins!"

The messenger listened for a long time and finally understood a sentence. That is, now "there is no way to get Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, to send troops to Yuzhou."
