Please ask me to be the emperor

"How is the situation?" "Hua Ma Liu" Liu Liangzuo asked as he walked up to the Xuzhou city wall with a tired look, looking at the densely packed rebel camps and siege equipment outside the city.

"The northwest corner was damaged by artillery yesterday, and repairs have been completed overnight." It has been reported by General Hui.

"Well, very good!" Liu Liangzuo nodded gently and breathed a sigh of relief.

"General, how long are we going to defend?" At this moment, the general hesitated and asked involuntarily.

"'Shun thief'." Liu Liangzuo originally wanted to say that we will defend as long as the "Shun thief" fights, but when he saw the faces of everyone, he couldn't help but quickly changed his mind.

"It's not up to us to make the decision. Let's wait and see and then talk about it!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, and they fell silent for a while.

Soldiers are the most important thing in the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival. Well, to put it bluntly, people will always die in war.

Everyone has only one life. Since we sold these hundred and ten kilograms to you Liu Liangzuo, naturally we can't lose our lives in vain. We have to do something, right?

Some people may want food and salary, some may want official titles, and some may want loyalty.

However, when Yang Sichang presided over the government, he could not distribute food and salary on time.

Now that we are retreating to Fengyang, where can we find food, wages and people?

As for the rank and title, Liu Liangzuo has reached the pinnacle of the military attache - the chief military officer, and wears the seal of the gangster general. However, other officers and soldiers are only covetous.

Are you talking about loyalty? I find it a bit funny when you talk about loyalty!

A few days ago, Liu Liangzuo sent someone to insult Hong Chengchou at the top of the city: "You are also an official of the Ming Dynasty, and you earn a salary from the imperial court. In what way did the Holy Emperor treat you badly, and you actually followed the 'submissive traitor'?"

As a result, Hong Chengchou scolded him back unchanged: "You are also an official of the Ming Dynasty and earn a salary from the imperial court. In what way did the Holy Spirit treat you wrongly, and you actually followed the 'Yang Thief'?"

Liu Liangzuo scolded the rebels for forcing Chongzhen to death, "having no father and no king, being treasonous and immoral"; the rebels naturally also scolded Zhu Changzi, Yang Sichang and others for burning and killing the "prince", "having no father and no king, being tyrannical and immoral".

For a time, who was the official and who was the bandit turned the world into chaos and reversed yin and yang.

Liu Liangzuo couldn't resist, so he had to stop fighting and hang up his no-war sign. He allowed the rebels to yell and curse, but refused to reply.

"General, look at that flag, are reinforcements coming?" Just when Liu Liangzuo was at a loss what to do, a soldier suddenly reminded him.

"Oh?" Liu Liangzuo was shocked when he heard this, and quickly looked around, only to see a few more flags emerging from the rebel position to the west.

There is a flag that towers into the clouds, with a big word "handsome" fluttering in the wind, which is actually higher than the original flag.

On its side, there are two red flags. On one side are the two big characters "King of Qin" and on the other side are the seven small characters "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses".

"How is this possible? This is 'King Shun' coming?" Liu Liangzuo couldn't help but be horrified.

As we all know, after "King Shun" entered Beijing, he indulged in female sex.

Not to mention the expedition to the capital, he had not even set foot in the Forbidden City. How could he possibly reach outside Xuzhou City?

"Your Highness, look, this is Yunlong Mountain!" Just when Liu Liangzuo was surprised and uncertain, Hong Chengchou, the head coach of the Southern Route Army, was giving Zhang Shun guidance.

It turns out that this time, Zhang Shun really left his "comfort zone" and took Wukong and others south along the Grand Canal, traveling both ways to Xuzhou.

The reason why he refused to leave the capital before was to stay in the capital and maintain the operation of the center to avoid chaos.

However, after testing the issue of "temporarily suspending New Year's Day gifts", Zhang Shun found that the opposition in Beijing did not seem to be that strong, so he came to Xuzhou in person.

This trick is called luring the snake out of its hole, waiting for someone to jump out.

Not to mention what is happening in the capital, let alone the two thousand miles from the capital to Xuzhou, it only took Zhang Shun, Wukong and others seven or eight days to arrive at the city of Xuzhou.

"Yunlong Mountain? What do you mean?" Zhang Shun asked strangely.

"Your Highness, your Majesty!" Hong Chengchou reported after hearing this.

"This Xuzhou Prefecture is called Pengcheng, the capital of the overlord of Western Chu."

"Pengcheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with the exception of Pingchuan for hundreds of miles to the west, which runs from the Liang and Song Dynasties to the west; the city is blocked by water on three sides, and Biansi is a pond under the battlements; only its south can be used for carriages and horses, and there is a horse performance stage; It is ten feet high and a hundred paces wide. If in the days of martial arts, thousands of people could be stationed on it, all the equipment for war and defense would be guarded by one man, even though it would be difficult for tens of thousands of people to get there. There are strange things within nine miles of the current city, and there are four gates."

Zhang Shun finally understood what Hong Chengchou said.

It turns out that Xuzhou City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only the west side having flat terrain. However, the city is surrounded by water on three sides, and only the south side is accessible for carriages and horses.

Since then, going to the west has been blocked by water, and going to the south has been separated by mountains. This is also the main reason why Hong Chengchou has been unable to attack for a long time.

"Oh?" Zhang Shun looked at Yunlong Mountain surrounded by clouds and fog and Xuzhou City surrounded by mountains and rivers, and couldn't help but point to Yunlong Mountain Road.

"Can we set up artillery there and bombard the city?"

"This... may not be enough!" Hong Chengchou pondered for a while and explained.

"Let's go and have a look!" Zhang Shun thought for a while and decided to check it out in person.

If Yunlong Mountain can set up cannons, this game of chess will be alive.

At that time, Yunlong Mountain will no longer be a danger to Xuzhou City, but will become a life-threatening rope around the neck of Xuzhou City.

"Yes!" After hearing this, Hong Chengchou quickly received the military order and selected more than a thousand people to protect the left and right, and then accompanied Zhang Shun to Yunlong Mountain.

This Yunlong Mountain is not very big, with an altitude of only more than a hundred meters and a length of five or six miles.

The mountain is divided into nine sections, winding and undulating, like a dragon, with its head raised to the northeast and its tail to the southwest. There are many cultural and historical sites on the mountain.

There are large stone Buddhas from the Northern Wei Dynasty, cliff stone carvings from the Tang and Song Dynasties, crane-releasing pavilions, crane-calling pavilions, drinking crane springs, and the former residence of Zhangshan people from the Song Dynasty.

"This Yunlong Mountain has some common allusions." Hong Chengchou said as he climbed up the steps.

"It is said that when Qin Shihuang returned from his eastward tour, there was a strange aura in Xuzhou, so he built an aura platform to express the aura of the king."

"The ancestors of the Han Dynasty were suspicious of themselves and hid in the mountains. Empress Lu tasted it and said that there were clouds in Ji's residence that turned into five colors. Its shape was like a dragon, so it was named like that."

"Since the First Emperor was gone, Xiang Ji suspected his omen, so he made his capital in Pengcheng. Unexpectedly, four years later, he was besieged on all sides and was defeated at Wujiang."

Huh? Why does this story sound so familiar to me?

Ren Chen is the owner of the village, and it turns out to be you!

After many attempts to persuade you failed, it turned out that the Overlord was born in your previous life.

Feudal superstition is not trustworthy, materialism is heroic!

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Just when Zhang Shun had a smile on his lips, Hong Chengchou saw something strange and asked.

"Nothing, just keep going!" Zhang Shun smiled and gave up on the importance of educating him on the importance of getting rid of feudal superstitions. He believed that most people who could be traitors were not such people.

"It is said that Liu Jinu was a general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He set up a shogunate here to direct battles. He also saw dragons in the clouds surrounding him."

"Sure enough, four years later, he became the founding king of the Southern Song Dynasty."

"Look at that, what is that? Wow!" Just as Hong Chengchou was showing off, there was a sudden noise from the crowd, interrupting his words.

Hong Chengchou couldn't help being furious, and shouted loudly: "Didn't you see that I am talking to His Highness King Shun? What's the fuss about?"

"Hong Shuai, look!" Hearing this, Zuo Zuo quickly reached up and pointed.

"Huh?" Hong Chengchou looked up in confusion and was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Shun glanced at Hong Chengchou strangely and looked up.

Shouting, I saw the colorful sky above Yunlong Mountain, and there was a coiled dragon floating around Yunlong Mountain.

really? Zhang Shun couldn't help but be shocked. This really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao have arrived. How come such clouds appear when things are so good?

"The auspicious clouds appear, and the real dragon emerges! The auspicious clouds appear, and the real dragon emerges!" The soldiers couldn't help but shout.

However, while Zhang Shunyi and others were stunned in Yunlong Mountain, Xuzhou City also became lively.

"Auspicious clouds appear, a real dragon emerges?" Liu Liangzuo looked at the sky in the south of the city in disbelief and asked, "Is this really true?"

"Is there any lie?" A big household in Xuzhou City answered me one by one, "It is said by old people that there was Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty before him and Liu Jinu after him. Gai Mo is an exception."

"Now, after a thousand years, auspicious clouds appear again. This is destiny!"

"Okay, since everyone said so, then I have no choice but to comply with destiny and join the true dragon!" Liu Liangzuo's expression changed for a long time, and finally he sighed.

Historical records: In the first month of spring in the tenth year of Chongzhen, Taizu Beidaojiang traveled to Xuzhou. At that time, the clouds in Yunlong Mountain suddenly appeared in five colors and turned into dragons. People at that time were different. There is a man named Liu Liangzuo who is the guard of the big family in Xuzhou City. This is the spirit of the emperor.

Liu Liangzuo was greatly shocked by this, and said: Zhu Changzi's people are crowned with monkeys, and Yang Sichang's followers are violent and without any plan. They are all withered bones in the grave, so he tied himself out of the city.

Therefore, Taizu went to Xuzhou without using a sword or a shot.
