Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 1056 Collusion

Within two days, as expected, news came from Governor Zhang and Xu Quan that the Wang family's mansions in Lantian had been captured, and a total of more than 170 young men, more than 230 old and weak women and children were captured. Several letters were also seized, please ask Zhang Shun. Decide.

Zhang Shun opened the letter and was shocked. He quickly shouted loudly: "Where is Jin Yi? Send a congratulatory dragon to see me quickly!"

"What's the matter, His Highness King Qin?" Wang Qiying has been accompanying Zhang Shun these past few days because of the matter of "uncle Wang Pu". Seeing Zhang Shun's expression, Wang Qiying couldn't help but ask.

"Just look at it!" Zhang Shun relaxed his mood and handed the letter in his hand to Wang Qiying to read.

"A letter to Fan Yiheng, deputy envoy of Shaanxi Right Participation in Political Affairs and Sub-inspection of Guannan Military Preparation?" Wang Qiying saw the name and read it involuntarily.

"That's right, I thought this was just an uprising organized by the local guard station, but unexpectedly other officers and soldiers were involved!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but said uneasily, "In this case, there must be someone who will cooperate with this uprising! "

"Where is the enemy?" Wang Qiying couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

"The enemy is in Hanzhong!" Zhang Shun said firmly.

Although there are many people under Zhang Shun's command, most of them are actually stationed in various places.

Only the four battalions of He Renlong, Xiang Hui Deng, Ma Jinzhong and Yang Chengzu were still nearby. Among them, He Renlong was stationed in the city, and Xiang Hui Deng, Ma Jinzhong and Yang Chengzu were stationed outside the city.

"Then He Renlong can't even be sent out!" Wang Qiying couldn't help but persuade him immediately after hearing this.

"Yes, the infantry is too late!" Zhang Shun nodded and said, "Wang Jinyi, send someone outside the city to invite Yang Chengzu!"

Yang Chengzu was originally a general under Luo Rucai, but after dealing with Luo Rucai and the backbone of his subordinates, Yang Chengzu saw that the situation was over and had no choice but to surrender to Zhang Shun.

According to Zhang Shun's original intention, he originally planned to disrupt all Luo Rucai's direct troops and disperse them among his subordinates.

However, Li Zicheng, Zhang Tianlin and others advised him: "People often say that 'Cao Ying is good at fighting', but those who are good at it are only elite cavalry."

"If King Shun demolished it in vain, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources?"

"Why not order his general Yang Chengzu to lead it? So that his men and horses can be used by me and appease everyone else!"

When Zhang Shun heard this, he remembered the time when Yang Chengzu led his elite cavalry to rush in like a wall and defeated the vassal soldiers and cavalry in one fell swoop, and he suddenly fell in love with talents.

Therefore, he retained the three thousand elite cavalry of "Cao Camp" and let Yang Chengzu take command.

Nowadays, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time is a good opportunity to test Yang Chengzu's loyalty.

Not long after, Na He Renlong arrived first.

After a few polite words, Zhang ordered by the way: "I order you to send scouts immediately to explore the situation around Xi'an City."

"Every gate in the city must be guarded tightly. No one can sneak into the city. There must be no mistakes!"

"Yes, general, take the order!" He Renlong saw Zhang Shun's serious expression and quickly took the order.

"It's just... I just don't know what happened, so King Shun can make me mentally prepared."

"It's not a big deal. It's just that when we were wiping out the Lantian bandits ahead, we just got the news that they had colluded with the Hanzhong Bingbei Road, just in case!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but said lightly after hearing this.

"It's just that now that Shaanxi is newly settled, people's hearts are unstable, so we have to be careful!"

"General I know, I'll do it now!" He Renlong responded quickly after hearing this.

After He Renlong accepted the order, he hurried away.

Not long after, under the guidance of Wang Jinyi, Yang Chengzu also rushed over, covered in dust.

"General Yang, please take a seat. I wonder how the soldiers are doing now?" Zhang Shun asked casually while giving him his seat gently.

"Ah? Don't dare, don't dare!" Yang Chengzu quickly gave in, "In the direction of His Highness King Qin, these people were a little dissatisfied before, but with the food and salary being distributed in full, many people have already given up their thoughts."

"I have been training harder and harder in the past few days. I dare not say anything else. At least there are more than a thousand cavalry that can be used to advance like a wall, and it is easy to defeat the enemy!"

"Okay, well done!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but praise, "Now I have something I'm going to leave to you to do!"

"There is news that the Lantian rebels are colluding with the Hanzhong thieves, trying to cooperate inside and outside to harass our city of Xi'an. But this matter is big or small, dispensable. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't worry about it."

"I want you to lead your elite cavalry on a journey. If the journey goes well, you can temporarily station at Ziwu Pass until the situation becomes clear before you act according to orders."

"If Ziwu Pass has been lost, I want you to lead your troops to garrison Ziwu Town to defend it; if even Ziwu Town has been lost, depending on the enemy's strength, you can either attack them, leave them, or retreat to Xi'an City. I don't know what your intention is. how?"

"Large-scale attack?" Yang Chengzu couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and asked quickly.

"What kind of massive attack?" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Now that the pseudo-ming officers and soldiers have been defeated and they have no time to take care of themselves, how can they mobilize so many troops and horses?"

"As far as I know, the men are just setting up a garrison. How can there be so many soldiers and horses? There may be more than a thousand thieves, only one or two battalions at most. They are worthless."

Yang Chengzu only reacted after hearing this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "King Shun sure knows what will happen, but the general is timid."

"Don't worry, King Shun. Just leave this matter to me. I will make sure he never comes back!"

"Okay, it's easy to say, then I'll bother the general!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but ordered quickly after hearing this.

The two discussed a few more details before sending Yang Chengzu away.

Before Zhang Shun could take a sip of tea, chief of staff Hong Chengchou hurried over.

"King Shun, Xi'an is in danger!" Hong Chengchou said immediately when they met.

"What's wrong? Please tell me, Mr. Hong!" Zhang Shun was shocked and thought, could something happen again?

"Shaanxi Right Political Participant and Branch Patrol Officer Fan Yiheng sent deputy editor-in-chief Luo Shangwen to break through Ziwu Pass and are heading towards Xi'an City!" Hong Chengchou couldn't help but said quickly.

"What?" Zhang Shun was shocked when he heard this, "So fast!"

"Could it be that King Shun already knew about this?" Hong Chengchou couldn't help but said in shock after hearing this.

Zhang Shun quickly gave a brief summary of the news he had received. Hong Chengchou couldn't help but pause and said: "Unexpectedly, I underestimated this person and disturbed King Shun."

It turns out that Fan Yiheng was also a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli. He successively served as the magistrate of Anyi, Jianchang and Xiangyang counties, the chief priest of the Leiguan Rites Temple, the chief of the merit examination department of the Ministry of Personnel, and the doctor of the Examination and Honors Division of the Ministry of Personnel.

In the third year of Chongzhen's reign, he served as the Yulin Military Preparation Road. He killed two peasant army generals, Shen Zaiting and Ma Binggui. Due to his meritorious service, he was promoted to the post of Shaanxi Right Participant in Politics and also patrolled the Guannan Military Preparation Road.

Hong Chengchou had little contact with him, so he didn't expect this man to have such courage.

In fact, neither Hong Chengchou nor Zhang Shun knew that this person also played a significant role in history.

According to the original history, he not only defeated "Huntian Star" Zhang Tianlin, but also killed "King of Neatness" Fatty Zhang.

Later, he and Zhang Xianzhong fought several times in Sichuan, so that Zhang Xianzhong failed to completely capture Sichuan until he died in the battle.
