Please ask me to be the emperor

It is said that since the general Tang Tong left, Zhu Xieyuan, Zhang Fengyi and Ye Tinggui and others have been serving delicious food and drinks every day, but I beg Gao Qiqian not to rush to send troops.

Gao Qiqian was not a fool. Seeing that they were "fearful of thieves like tigers", he knew that there must be a reason, so he turned a blind eye for the time being and waited and watched before making further calculations.

On this day, Gao Qiqian was full of wine and food. Seeing that it was still early, he led more than ten followers to wander around Taiyuan City.

Not long after, Gao Qiqiu walked to the vicinity of the Drum Tower and saw a group of people gathered in front of him, shouting and yelling. He couldn't help but feel strange, so he asked his entourage to go and see what was going on.

The attendant went over to ask, and then reported back to Hui Hui: "The excerpt of "Zhang Shun's Stealing Wife" was being sung in front of us, that's why it was so lively."

"Ah?" Gao Qiqian was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but said, "Let's go and have a look!"

He remembered that this play that Zhu Xieyuan and others invited him to watch a few days ago was a vulgar play that basically used the "three vulgarities" as its selling point.

If what he expected was true, there were quite a lot of pornographic scenes in the middle, and it should have been played late at night after the women and children had been driven away.

Now in broad daylight, what value does this play have?

With the help of Gao Qi's potential entourage, he squeezed through the crowd and looked inside. He saw a woman in costume, kneeling in the hall and singing: "King Shun is sitting high in the bright hall, who knows the wind and frost in the world!"

"The little girl is originally the daughter of the Nan family, and Yan'an Prefecture is my hometown. My father and brother are also bachelors of literature, and they are famous for their poetry and calligraphy."

"Unexpectedly, there was a disaster four years ago, and thieves entered my hometown. My father and brother died when they refused, and my sisters were humiliated and lost their lives."

"I am left alone in the Nan family, stuck in the den of thieves. Fortunately, I heard that King Shun has arrived, and I will tell the truth clearly..."

"What is this!" Gao Qiqian listened for a long time, frowned and asked unhappily.

No, this plot is absolutely wrong.

Although Gao Qiqian had only listened to two chapters before and had not listened to the entire play "Zhang Shun's Stealing Wife", he still understood the general plot.

Not to mention that the heroine's family name has been changed from Xing's family to Nan's, but seeing that this drama was created from the beginning to the end to gang up on the "Shun thieves", you know that there is no way that there will be a weird story of "Zhang Shun decides the case, and the Nan family pleads grievances" plot.

Gao Qiqian was thinking a lot, but his face was calm and he directly ordered: "Call the leader, I have something to ask!"

The left and right people hurriedly took orders, and soon brought back one person.

The man was in his forties or fifties, and judging from his mannerisms, he seemed to have been an actor.

The class leader hurriedly came forward to see it, and then Gao Qiqian asked: "What kind of show is this? What's the point?"

"This is "Zhang Shun's Stealing Wife", a new piece." The band leader smiled and said, "If you like it, I can go to my house to perform it in two days..."

"Nonsense!" Before the leader finished speaking, Gao Qiqian scolded, "How dare you change the lyrics and music when I have never heard of this play?"

"Master misunderstood!" The class leader was shocked when he heard this and quickly explained.

"You said that was an old song, but this is a new song. After this new song came out, it became very popular, far surpassing the old song."

"So the troupes sang this song one after another to please their parents..."

"This..." Gao Qiqian was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that there would be such a change.

"Do you have a script for me to review?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The team leader wiped a cold sweat after hearing this, quickly replied, and soon presented the script.

Gao Qiqian picked it up and took a quick look. Sure enough, the plot had changed a lot.

The theme of the new song has actually changed from dissing "submissive thieves" to praising "submissive thieves".

There are ups and downs in the plot, and the new track is obviously more attractive to the audience than the original "Love Case", which was quite bland.

"Let's go!" Gao Qiqian pondered for a moment, then waved his cloak and said.

"Then...then where are we going?"

"Go back and meet the left governor Zhu Xieyuan and the governor of Xuanda Zhang Fengyi!" Gao Qiqian couldn't help but sneered.

As a member of the Ming army's system of checks and balances among civilian officials, generals, and eunuchs, Gao Qiqian would certainly not forget his responsibilities.

His previous politeness to Zhu Xieyuan and others, and even his tolerance for their persistence in Taiyuan, were all based on the possibility of bringing greater victory.

But now that he watched the new "Zhang Shun's Stealing Wife", he felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

The Ming army's attack failed, and Gao Qiqian certainly took the responsibility.

If the Ming army besieged Taiyuan City and it was defeated by the rebels, it would not only be a matter of taking responsibility for him, but he would probably lose trust in the heart of "Grandpa Huang".

No, things can't continue like this.

No matter what, Zhu Xieyuan must give himself a certain confidence!

And just when Gao Qiqian was about to look for Zhu Xieyuan, he certainly didn't expect that Zhu Xieyuan, Zhang Fengyi and Ye Tinggui were gathering together now.

"Is the news reliable?" Left Supervisor Zhu Xieyuan frowned and asked, looking at the letter in his hand.

"This is absolutely true!" Zhang Fengyi, the governor of Xuanda, said with a bitter smile.

"That Kelan Bingbei Lu Youzhu is a stable person, and he has served as the Bingbei Dao for many years. He would never dare to lie about military affairs!"

It turned out that the news that the Rebel Army's North Route Army had been exhausted finally broke through the obstruction of Li Shukong and others, and finally reached Taiyuan City.

After receiving the news, Zhang Fengyi, the governor of Xuanda, quickly found Zhu Xieyuan and Ye Tinggui to discuss the matter.

It's just that Zhu Xieyuan thought about it, but he couldn't figure out how the rebel army could have so many troops, and he was doubtful about it.

"I have an idea. I don't know if it's right or not. Let me tell you so that you two can go over it in detail!" Ye Tinggui frowned and guessed a bit.

"The troops of the 'Shun Bandits' are at full strength, and Pianguan, Baode, Yongning, and Fenzhou are all under attack in the west. Can we think that this is actually a premeditated and planned large-scale attack by the enemy?"

"What do you mean..." Zhang Fengyi hesitated for a moment, and his face changed drastically.

"Yes, I suspect that we have fallen into other people's schemes from beginning to end!" Ye Tinggui said with a bitter smile.

"Now that Tu Qiong has seen it, we can reluctantly review the 'Shun Thief's' plan."

"In the first step, the thieves took the lead in attacking Kaifeng, Huaiqing Mansion and other places. They went all the way to attract officers and soldiers to go south."

"The second step is for the main force of thieves to attack Pingyang Mansion in a large scale, which is another way to specifically threaten Taiyuan City."

"The third step is for the thieves to suddenly advance eastward in large numbers, completely destroying the Shanxi officers and soldiers when we are unable to move, and seizing all the Shanxi territory..."

"This...how is this possible!" Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help but said in shock, "He...where did he get so many soldiers?"

"According to my calculations, the 'Shun Thief' has only 50,000 or 60,000 troops under his command, and the three towns and four towns in Shaanxi Province only have more than 100,000 troops."

"Even if they are all used by 'submissive thieves', their total number of troops is only between 200,000."

"If we keep soldiers and horses in various places for defense, we can only mobilize one hundred thousand."

"If it was Ye Fujun's opinion that the 'shun thieves' were advancing in three directions, how could they make such rapid progress everywhere?"

"What's the point of talking about it now that it's over?" Ye Tinggui actually didn't understand the problem, so he could only ask with a wry smile.

"Could it be... could it be that the 'Shun Thieves' are bluffing me? In fact, there are thirty thousand in the north and south routes each, and the 'Shun Thieves' think they are only 40,000?" Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help but guess.

"What the military sect said makes sense!" Zhang Fengyi nodded when he heard this, but he couldn't help but have this doubt in his heart.

Since the "shun thieves" cannot have so many soldiers and horses, they must have both reality and reality, and reality and reality complement each other.

Since the South and North Routes where the "Shun Thieves" have made great progress cannot be false, then the problem must lie with the middle route army led by the "Shun Thieves" personally.

"Has the Hongyi cannon arrived?" Thinking of this, Zhu Xieyuan no longer continued his analysis, but changed the subject and asked Zhang Fengyi, the governor of Xuanda.

"In the past few days, the two towns of Xuanda and Daxi have deployed forty more artillery pieces. However, they were harassed by thieves. Now they only have thirty pieces..."

Before Zhang Fengyi finished speaking, a soldier hurried in and immediately fell silent.

"What's the matter?" Seeing this, Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help but ask.

"Supervisor, Military Gate, Fujun, Supervisor Gao Qiqian would like to invite you!" The soldier couldn't help but replied quickly.

oh? coming!

The three of them couldn't help but look at each other, knowing that they might not be able to escape this time, but this time, they didn't want to hide anymore!

It's a mule or a horse, and it's time to take it out for a walk.
