Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 1338 Going north and south

The strong man with the surname "Yue" died in the end, due to poisoning.

In fact, Zhang Shun didn't know whether his surname was Yue or not.

However, he still ordered people to bury him outside Taiyuan City and erect a monument detailing his aspirations.

Zhang Shun stood in front of the tall stone tablet and looked at the large characters written in gold and silver on it: Tomb of the martyr Yue Mou. Suddenly he missed his concubine Li Xiang.

She had saved her when her throat was cut.

If Li Xiang were here today, I'm afraid such a righteous man might have a chance of survival, right?

"Your Highness?" A woman's intuition is really terrible. Seeing Zhang Shun's eyes blank, Zhang Fengyi's first reaction, standing next to him, was that he missed women again.

"Ah? Fengyi!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but responded in surprise.

It turned out that Zhang Fengyi was only focused on making great achievements, but she never expected to be "played by Abatai". She could only look at the Houjin cavalry who were going all the way behind the rebels, and could only "sigh in despair".

Although afterwards, she became furious and captured the empty Houjin camp in time.

However, when judging merits and declaring rewards after the fact, only a "minor merit" was evaluated.

Compared with extraordinary achievements and first achievements, secondary achievements are at most a consolation prize. How can Zhang Fengyi be reconciled to this?

According to her thoughts, Zhang Shun was so good at things and so dangerous in his military use that he must have known about it, so he had been having a little temper with Zhang Shun in the past few days.

"Your Highness, it's windy outside, let's go back!" Zhang Fengyi was a little unhappy and didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

"Ah? Go back, that feeling is good, good, good!" Zhang Shun was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, with a look of salivation on his face.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhang Fengyi suddenly blushed with anger, but in front of so many people, she couldn't move her mouth or mouth, so she had to pause, turn around and run away.

This dog man really can't spit out ivory from his mouth!

Zhang Shun smiled when he saw her leaving, but accidentally saw the tombstone in front of him again, and his expression slowly darkened.

"What, King Shun is going to lead his troops north?" Although Zhang Shun was very frivolous, in fact, he did not return to the camp immediately after that. Instead, he went to Taiyuan City to meet Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting was shocked.

"Are we going to ignore the Donglu soldiers who are deep in the heart of our army?"

"I can trust Zhang Sanbai." Zhang Shun shook his head after hearing this.

"Now he has eleven battalions of troops, enough to withstand the likes of Azig and Yanguli."

When Zhang Shun was fighting with the officers and soldiers in Shanxi, he was unable to do anything at all on two occasions and appointed Zhang Sanbai to command the battle for him.

He completed the tasks beautifully both times, so Zhang Shun still had full trust in his personal abilities.

The 11th Battalion of the Rebel Army had more than 30,000 troops, which was enough to withstand Hou Jin's 20,000 elite soldiers.

"Then... what about Taiyuan?" Sun Chuanting hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking.

"We can only trouble Mr. Sun about the Taiyuan matter!" Zhang Shun smiled and arranged.

"I plan to leave 20,000 troops for my husband, half of them will be rebels and half will be the newly surrendered Ming army."

"There are more than 20,000 people left. I am going to take them away and join forces with Li Zicheng's troops to go north to Datong."

"This..." Sun Chuanting was shocked when he heard this, his mind was spinning all over, and he couldn't answer the words for a while.

It turned out that as a newly promoted general, he was so trusted by Zhang Shun that he was deeply moved.

However, Sun Chuanting, who was known as a talented man, also knew that the task of staying in Taiyuan was not easy.

On the one hand, Donglu Azig led 20,000 troops south, and he had to set up defenses to prevent them from fleeing north.

On the other hand, Ningwu, Yanmen in the north and the east also need to be defended.

At the same time, one or two battalions of troops needed to be stationed in Taiyuan City to guard against unscrupulous people taking the opportunity to cause trouble, so he quickly made a plan.

"By the way, there is no need to worry about the three passes of Biantou, Ningwu and Yanmen." At this moment, Zhang Shun seemed to have remembered something and couldn't help but speak again.

"I have just received news from Zuo Guangxian, the right commander of the North Route Army. Lu Youzhu, the deputy envoy of Kelan Road Military Preparation, seeing that the situation is over, 'obeys' the orders of Zuo Commander Zhu Xieyuan and Xuanda Governor Zhang Fengyi to surrender to our army."

"Now only Ningwu is left in the three passes, and it will be conquered soon. I am going to appoint Zuo Guangxian as the commander-in-chief of the three passes. Mr. Zuo Guangxian will be in charge of military affairs in the east and south."

"I will fulfill my mission!" When Sun Chuanting heard this, he had no objections and quickly bowed deeply to Zhang Shun.

At the same time, he was also amazed by Zhang Shun's meticulous thinking and godlike military skills.

Don’t be convinced, everything seems to fall into place at first glance.

However, if you think about it carefully, the entire Shanxi region was still under the control of Ming Dynasty in early March this year.

As a result, it took Zhang Shun less than two months to not only bring the entire Shanxi under the rule of the rebels, but also to make the defense arrangements everywhere watertight.

Looking at the Shanxi layout alone, Zuo Guangxian is in the north, Zhang Sanbai is in the middle, Li Xin is in the south, and Hong Chengchou is in the east. Even the Pingyang Mansion in the hinterland is guarded by powerful generals like Yu Chongxiao.

If we talk about one thing alone, perhaps the rule of the rebels is not stable yet.

However, if these five or six places are connected together, restraining each other and reinforcing each other's momentum, a stable basic market will have been formed.

This person is so young and has such mental skills. It is no wonder that the heroes of the world have no enemies under his hands.

At this moment, Zhang Shun certainly didn't know what Sun Chuanting was thinking. Even if he knew, he would probably just sneer at it.

This battle seemed simple, but there were many dangers, many calculations, and many soldiers and horses that he used to achieve this "solid victory."

The Art of War says: If you count more, you will win, but if you count less, you will not win. What he is fighting is to bully the few with more.

Now that he has finally ushered in a long-lost victory, he should think more.

Maybe I can take it slow, that way I will be more confident.

But I can't wait any longer, and neither can the people in the world.

Today, how many people like the strong man named "Yue" are still living under the butcher's knife of Donglu.

If you leave a moment earlier, you will be able to save the people a moment earlier; if you leave a moment later, you will injure and injure more people a moment later.

What I was rushing for was time, and what I was saving was living lives.

However, just as Zhang Shun was preparing to go north, the war had already reached Fenzhou Prefecture.

"Prince, Jiexiu is ahead!" A middle-aged man who looked like a businessman pointed to Azige, who was wearing armor.

"Is it okay this time?" Azig was already anxious at this moment, but he still had to suppress his uneasiness.

"No problem, absolutely no problem. After all, it's the Fan family!" The businessman hurriedly patted his chest and assured.

It turns out that Azig has been traveling day and night since he left Taiyuan, and now two days have passed.

Within these two days, they passed through Qixian and Pingyao successively.

Although both counties had Hou Jin's "own people", the merchants had known that Hou Jin was cruel and feared that someone would accidentally lead a wolf into the house, so they did not dare to open the city gate without authorization. Instead, they secretly sent their clerks and bodyguards to the city wall. Help defend the city.

Azig sent people to conduct a tentative attack, but could not break the city, so they had to go all the way south and continue running towards Jiexiu.

"Your Majesty, we have caught a spy!" Seeing Jiexiu City right in front of us, several soldiers suddenly rushed over one person at a time.

"I am not a spy. I am a servant of the Fan family. I have been appointed by my master's family to pay homage to the king!" The man kowtowed quickly when he saw Azige.

"Oh? What did you see me doing?" Azig couldn't help but asked coldly.

"The Fan family has made preparations. The north gate will be opened at three o'clock tonight to welcome the prince into the city!" The man replied quickly after hearing this.

"Oh? The Fan family has a good dog!" Azige couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, but he couldn't suppress his excitement.

It turns out that Jiexiu is located on the north side of Taiyue Mountain, connected to Qinyuan to the east, Lingshi to the south, and Huozhou to the south of Lingshi.

Although the Jin army suffered setbacks in Qixian and Pingyao, everything was nothing compared to being able to occupy Jiexiu.

Because once the Hou Jin army captured Jiexiu, they would not only be able to cut off the rebels' supply lines from Shaanxi and Henan, but they would also have the opportunity to seize Lingshi and Huozhou, and bring the war to the rich Pingyang Prefecture.
