Please ask me to be the emperor

Roll up your armor and rush forward, stay at home day and night, travel multiple routes at the same time, fight for profit for hundreds of miles, and capture three generals - "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu

"Coach, sure enough Yang Sichang is here!" Wang Ding said excitedly in Huaiqing Mansion.

It turned out that just after the rebel army crossed the Yellow River with Li Xin and Tuo Yangkun as the forerunners, Hong Chengchou, the commander-in-chief of the South Route Army, also led the main force to follow closely and arrived at the newly occupied Huaiqing Fucheng.

Originally, after Hong Chengchou was captured by the rebels, the Biao camp was completely devastated. Later, after he took refuge with Zhang Shun, he served as chief of staff.

Therefore, when he assumed the role of General Pingdong this time, he had no close associates from Biaoying under his command.

It happened that the Yulin camp under Zhang Shun was composed of Yulin generals and close servants. Many of them were able to recognize the golden drum flag and convey military orders, and there were also elites who were able to ride horses, shoot arrows, and detect the enemy's situation.

Therefore, Zhang Shun assigned Yulin camp to Hong Chengchou to serve as a standard camp.

Therefore, Wang Ding and others who were well versed in the art of war not only followed Hong Chengchou to Huaiqing Mansion, but sometimes also served as staff.

"No rush!" Pingdong General Hong Chengchou smiled slightly when he heard this and said confidently, "Now that he is here, don't even think about leaving."

"Instruct Wei Zhiyou and other generals to speed up the crossing of the river; order Right Commander Cao Bianjiao to prepare to cut off their return; order Huang Shoucai to deploy naval forces along the Yellow River to prevent them from crossing south."

Yes, that's a plan.

It was a plan that had been deduced for a long time and seven or eight preliminary plans were made.

A plan that can "attack the east and attack the west" and "lead the snake out of its hole".

The purpose is to annihilate the effective forces deployed by officers and soldiers in eastern and northern Henan, and completely open the door for the rebel army to advance eastward.

All Yang Sichang's actions were as expected by the rebel leader, which made the wily Hong Chengchou a little less interested in fighting.

I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen such stupid people. Even if you resist a few times, it would still be interesting to let me activate the backup plan!

Hong Chengchou thought for a while and couldn't help but ask: "How is the progress of Zuo Shuai Li Xin and Tuo Yangkun?"

"How can it be so fast?" Wang Ding, Xiao Si, Du Hongyu, Zhang Hu and others couldn't help laughing.

"Don't worry about Commander Zuo. Wen County is the hometown of General Chen and General Li. How can we not win it?"

"It's just that Wanzi City is a bit dangerous. If the enemy is alert and relies on danger to defend, it may be difficult to attack!"

These people used to be local snakes in Yulin Town, so naturally they have some understanding of the energy of local snakes.

"Don't worry about anything." Seeing Hong Chengchou and his staff worried about capturing Wanzi City, Shi Wenhuan couldn't help laughing.

"His Royal Highness King Shun's reputation for benevolence is well known to everyone. I'm afraid some of you don't know what his reputation is in the local area!"

"I dare to say so, just based on King Shun's reputation in Huaiqing Mansion and Zelu."

"It can be said that if you raise your arms and shout, the responders will gather; if you talk empty-handed and white teeth, you will surrender to the city."

It turns out that when Zhang Shungang joined the rebel army, the Shaanshan rebel army committed heavy killings and looting.

In places such as Zelu and Huaiqing, they are basically existences that make the people gnash their teeth, hate them to the bone, and stink for ten miles in the face of the wind.

Therefore, as soon as the local rebels left, the gentry and common people from all over the country took the lead in coming forward.

Everyone who had money and ability contributed to building forts and villages. For a time, the entire area was almost completely fortress-like.

However, among these notorious rebels, "Optimus Prime" and "The King in Yellow" won the recognition of the local gentry and common people with their good military discipline and their style of not looting or plundering.

Since ancient times, "thieves come like a comb, soldiers come like a grate, and officials come like a shave." It is extremely rare for someone like Zhang Shun to neither torture nor kill.

This is also the reason why the rebels were welcomed into the city by the gentry of Meng County, and why under the leadership of Zhao Yutou, Li Xin and others, they were able to easily capture the cities of Meng County and Huaiqing.

Since Zhang Shun started the army, he has been caring for four years and treated others with kindness, and finally received a generous reward.

"Oh?" Hong Chengchou was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but said cautiously, "Mr. Shi, I wonder how confident you are?"

"I am 100% sure that Commander Li will take Wenxian County; I am 80% sure that General Tuo will take Wanzicheng!" Shi Wenhuan said firmly.

"So high?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"Absolutely. King Shun's reputation is very good in Zezhou, Lu'an Prefecture and Huaiqing Prefecture, so there should be no problem." Zhao Yutou couldn't help but emphasize when he saw that Hong Chengchou was still hesitant.

"Okay, since there are two of you as guarantees, I'm going to order the dumplings to be made!" Hong Chengchou couldn't help but laugh.

"This..." Shi Wenhuan didn't expect such a change, and he was a little hesitant.

On the contrary, his two sons Shi Yingxuan and Shi Yingping had just defected to the rebel army. Although they had made some achievements in opening the door, they were still not enough.

The two men couldn't help but said: "General, just give the order. If Li Shuai and General Tuo don't go well, we two brothers are willing to go out again, so that these two places will turn against each other and surrender!"

"Okay, since you all have such confidence, then I've taken a 'reassurance pill'. This time, I want to see where Yang Sichang, the Minister of War, escapes!" Hong Chengchou couldn't help but laugh loudly when he saw these two people making such promises. smiled.

It is said that following Hong Chengchou's military order, someone immediately rushed to Wenxian Ferry to notify the boatman who had been waiting there for a long time.

After receiving the military order, the boatman immediately rowed across the rolling Yellow River and notified the navy stationed at the intersection of Yiluo River and Yellow River in Si River.

"Admiral, General Hong ordered the river to be closed!" A boatman had already received the order and quickly informed Huang Shoucai, who had been waiting for a long time.

Huang Shoucai, the "river god" who originally followed Zhang Sanbai to transport grain in Danshui, was transferred back to Yanshi by Zhang Shun and appointed as the naval admiral. He led the navy composed of fishermen and boatmen on the Yellow River to participate in the battle to determine the ownership of the world. of war.

"Okay!" Huang Shou, who was still dark-faced, couldn't help but ordered quickly after receiving the order.

"Ask the boatmen at each ferry to retreat to the south bank and wait for the rebel soldiers to cross the river. Unless the rebel troops are mobilized, no one is required to carry people across the river without orders!"

"In addition, fishermen everywhere are asked to be vigilant when fishing. If they discover the movements of officers and soldiers, report them to me immediately without any mistakes."

"Anyone who discovers the movements of officers and soldiers will be rewarded with ten taels of silver once verified. If there is any false report or false report, and the military situation is misunderstood, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Huang Shoucai received the military order here. If he did not mention the action, the boatman delivering the message over there would not stop and still go straight down the river to Xingze County north of Zhengzhou.

"General Hong's military order orders the right commander to cross the river as planned!" The boatman approached the shore and shouted quickly.

"Okay, I got it!" As soon as the boatman finished speaking, a man surrounded by everyone couldn't help but stepped forward and responded.

This person is none other than Gao Yigong, who is nominally under the jurisdiction of Youshuai Cao Bianjiao, but has never shown up.

It turned out that Cao Bianjiao and others had been fighting fiercely for a long time with the governor Yang Sichang, the governor of water transportation Zhu Dadian, and the governor of Henan Wu Gang. They never sent him to the battlefield, but ordered him to secretly occupy the unimportant Xingze County.

This Xingze County is located to the north of Xingyang, on the south bank of the Yellow River, adjacent to Zhengzhou on the south bank of the Yellow River, and adjacent to Yuanwu County on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Generally speaking, to cross the river from the north near Zhengzhou, you need to take the Huayuankou Ferry north of Zhengzhou.

However, there is no problem if you take the Yingze Yellow River Ferry, which has relatively simple conditions.

Unfortunately, Yang Sichang had just arrived in Henan to take up a post. He only knew that there was a Huayuankou crossing nearby, and he ordered Wu Di, the governor of Henan, to send someone to guard and monitor him.

But he never imagined that there were already a large number of ferries at the ferry crossing in Xingze County, where there were only three or five broken boats, and they were about to carry the rebel army across the river, cutting off his way back.
