Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 113 Retreat (Part 1)

The old man who reported the news was none other than Li Jiyu's friend Jiang Fa. This old man is nearly sixty years old, but he has good martial arts skills. He claims to be the successor of Tai Chi master Wang Zongyue. It is said that Li Jiyu learned all his skills from this person.

He was originally from Wenxian County. Because he killed a Shaolin monk at Li Jiyu's house, he became a bandit after being implicated, and started a business with no business with Li Jiyu. This made Zhang Shundu couldn't help but sigh: "You are so old and strong. You are nearly sixty years old, and you still don't know how to settle down!"

After Li Jiyu defected to Zhang Shun, the old man Jiang Fa thought about becoming a bandit. If he followed "Optimus Prime" like this, he didn't know when he would be able to return. As a person gets older, he always puts aside his family members. He can't let go of his grandchildren, so he takes a few days off and rushes to Wen County to secretly reunite with his children and grandchildren.

It was precisely because of this mistake that he accidentally met a distant relative of Shi Wenhuan from the Shi family in Meng County. That person specifically told him about the dispatch of troops by Fan Shangxuan, the governor of Henan. Jiang Fa and Li Ji had been in the dark for so long, so they knew that the military situation was urgent, so they quickly borrowed a horse from others and hurried back to report.

Zhang Shun was shocked when he heard the news, but on the surface he remained calm and sent Jiang Fa away. He quickly asked his subordinates and generals how to handle this matter. Everyone argued about it, which was nothing more than a fight-or-flight strategy. If they want to fight, they can only unite with other rebels to completely eliminate Fan Shangxuan's troops; if they want to escape, they can turn into Rufeng and still escape back to Shanxi to finish the job.

Zhang Shun thought about it and felt that there was basically nothing wrong with the method proposed by everyone, but he could not make the decision alone. So, he immediately took Wukong and Ji Dan to the "Purple Golden Liang" camp to pay homage to the "Purple Golden Liang".

At that time, it was getting late, and "Purple Gold Liang" was having dinner in the camp. When he saw Zhang Shun passing by, he quickly invited Zhang Shun to come and eat with him. Zhang Shun was not polite and invited Wukong and Ji Dan to sit down and eat together. "Purple Golden Liang's" methods were much more shady than Zhang Shun's. Food, drink and accommodation were very luxurious. Even the dinner included meat and vegetables, wine and meat.

Zhang Shun caught half a chicken and told "Purple Gold Liang" the information he had just obtained while gnawing it. "Purple Golden Liang" was a little undecided for a moment, so he asked: "Brother 'Optimus Prime', you are very resourceful, what do you think?"

Zhang Shun was very happy. After chewing twice and swallowing a big mouthful of chicken, he said: "It's just a strategy of fighting and withdrawing. I heard that Henan has not heard of weapons for a long time. The four of us worked together to make a big one. It’s okay to die as a governor just for fun.”

"This" "Purple Gold Liang" hesitated when he heard this. His original intention was to be like Song Jiang, and follow the old path of "if you want to be a high official, kill people, set fires and be recruited". If he kills the governor of Henan, wouldn't he completely break up with the officials? How does this make!

Zhang Shun saw that he was not a straightforward person and knew that he still had concerns. Although he was helpless, he also knew that with only two thousand troops under his command, there was nothing he could do against Fan Shangxuan, the governor of Henan. However, this also prevented Zhang Shun from hitting the wall with his head.

It turns out that the governor of Henan has been serving four terms in two years since he was transferred from the original governor Fan Jingwen, like a revolving door. Fan Shangxuan had just taken over the post, and he was not yet familiar with government affairs and military affairs. That’s why we were slow to react and were at a loss when the Mengjin flood hit.

But Fan Jingwen was very powerful. In the second year of Chongzhen, changes occurred. Huang Taiji led an army of 100,000 men, avoiding strategic city passes such as Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and Shanhaiguan. A total of three groups of troops broke into the pass from Longjing Pass, Hongshan Pass, and Da'an Pass respectively, captured Zunhua, and approached the capital.

Emperor Chongzhen was shocked and quickly ordered soldiers and horses from all over the country to rush to help. However, due to the poor organization level of the Ming Dynasty, King Qin's troops often encountered situations where there was no logistical support. As a result, some Qin Wang's troops mutinied on the spot, and some Qin Wang's troops directly looted their own cities, villages and towns. Only the 8,000 Henan soldiers led by Fan Jingwen, the governor of Henan, paid for themselves and made no mistakes wherever they went, thus stabilizing the situation in the capital.

Therefore, in the next year, Emperor Chongzhen transferred him to the Ministry of War as Zuo Shilang. After Fan Jingwen, the governor of Henan, left, the army he trained remained. Although it is not clear how outstanding the combat effectiveness of this army is, just looking at the level of organization of the logistics support, it is not something that a ragtag group of rebels can defeat in one fell swoop. If the two armies were entangled for too long, Shanxi Governor Song Tongyin crossed the Taihang Mountains to attack the rebels, and all four of them died without a burial place.

Zhang Shun took advantage of the situation and immediately recommended the evacuation method to "Purple Gold Liang". That "Zijinliang" was also a small-minded guy. After hearing Zhang Shun's suggestion to evacuate to Shanxi, his eyes lit up and he thought of a way to take revenge on "Lao Huihui". So, the two of them came to an agreement and returned to their camps without mentioning it.

The "Lao Huihui" struggled for a day and was still hungry, so he stopped attacking the city and ordered the pots to be buried to make rice. After eating, I was about to rest, but I heard an order from "Purple Golden Liang" asking everyone to attack at night. "Lao Huihui" had no choice but to endure his sleepiness, drive the people away and "send a wave of" lives before it was over.

It was already dark at this time, so "Lao Huihui" ordered us to return to camp to rest. It's just that the captive people were crying and crying, and they were really miserable. The noisy "Lao Huihui" tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He had no choice but to get up, pick up the steel knife, run out and chop a few to relieve his anger.

The remaining people were frightened, how could they dare to cry? Everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so they could only gnash their teeth secretly, wishing they could eat their flesh and sleep on their skin, but they just couldn't find the right time.

With great difficulty, "Lao Huihui" fell asleep, but he heard a noise outside. But he was so angry that he fumbled for the blood-stained steel knife and walked out of the camp again. Just opening the tent, the cold wind blew, and this time "Lao Huihui" was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.

It turned out that there were sounds of fighting everywhere outside the camp. At first, "Lao Huihui" thought it was a night attack by the city guards of Huaiqing Mansion, and didn't take it seriously. He just gathered his soldiers, preparing to stabilize the camp and then wait for an opportunity to strike back.

Unexpectedly, as time passed, the sound of fighting became louder and louder, and his soldiers broke up and fled. "Lao Huihui" was shocked and quickly gathered his Ma family members to prepare for a breakout. This "Lao Hui Hui" family is a young martial arts, fierce and bloodthirsty generation. There are about five or six hundred people, all of whom are dead soldiers.

"Lao Huihui" was not familiar with the "traveler" Huang Lai'er, and he offended "Zijin Liang" again. After much thought, he found that "Optimus Prime" was the only one he had met several times, so he ordered his relatives to protect him and break out in the direction of "Optimus Prime".

Thank you to the fans and the leader for the reward, thank you! This is the author's first alliance leader in his life, and he is so grateful. Since I came back too late today, both updates are very difficult. The author promises that during the May Day period, there will be more updates for the rewards of Idealism is a Faith. Thank you again for your support!

At the same time, the author hopes that readers can go to the circle and help me support the reward building of "Idealism is a Belief". Originally, this reader built a reward building and planned to reward as many floors as possible. As a result, despite being rewarded several times, the building was not lifted. The author was really embarrassed to see Jiangdong's elders. The author is not doing this for rewards, I just hope that everyone can help me raise the roof of the building to make it look better. Thank you everyone!
