Please ask me to be the emperor

With great difficulty, Zhang Shuncai led the cavalry to catch up with the rebels "Zijin Liang", Xing Honglang, Jiu Tiaolong and others. As a result, before he had time to take a breath, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid fighting and the sound of horse hooves from behind.

Everyone looked back and saw that it was the cavalry of officers and soldiers pursuing them. While chasing some of the infantry who were still escaping, they shouted in unison: "Don't take away the bandit leaders 'Zi Jinliang' and 'Er Guan Gong'!"

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this. Everyone already knew that the second master was nicknamed "Zijin Liang", but who was this "Second Guan Gong"? I don’t know how this man committed such a heinous crime and deserved such pursuit by officers and soldiers!

Zhang Shun and "Second Guan Gong" Chen Changzhen were also confused. They looked at each other, knowing what was happening but not knowing why.

Zhang Shun thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask in confusion: "Brother, how did you offend the official family, so that you are hated like this?"

How did "Er Guan Gong" Chen Changzhen know that someone in the capital had made a lot of mistakes and modified Zhang Daojun's memorial without authorization? He speculated with a depressed look on his face: "Perhaps it was because I made a big fuss in the school during the last martial arts exam, and the incident came to light?"

Zhang Shun thought about it and knew that such a thing was impossible. It would be like stealing an apple from his family, only to have government troops come with tanks and planes to encircle and suppress him. It was too outrageous.

Everyone was puzzled and had no choice but to put it down and not mention it. Zhang Shun and "Purple Gold Liang" quickly gathered their cavalry and drove away the pursuing officers and soldiers, and then they were safe.

As a result, the team marched not far, and the officers, soldiers and cavalry caught up again. This time they did not shout nonsense about "Don't take away 'Zijinliang' and 'Er Guan Gong'". Instead, they shouted: "Get the head of 'Er Guan Gong'" Whoever captures Optimus Prime alive will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! If Optimus Prime surrenders to the officers and soldiers, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and be given the post of Commander-in-Chief!"

Before Zhang Shun could react, "Purple Gold Liang" turned red.

He rushed over quickly and shouted to Zhang Shun: "Brother Optimus Prime, whose path did you follow? How did you get such a high official and a generous salary without any effort?"

Zhang Shun didn't know the secret behind this, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "The second master is joking, this must be a trick of the government."

"If I don't surrender, the officers and soldiers will use this to sow discord between our rebels and prevent us from working together to deal with the government."

"If I surrender, I will cut off the wings of the rebel army. I defeated the Song Dynasty and Yin Dynasty in the previous campaign, and killed the governor of Shanxi and the general of Yulin. The government is very afraid of me. This is a deliberate trick to recruit peace. If I really believe it, I'm afraid if he doesn't turn against me, he'll chop me to death on the spot!"

When everyone heard this, they were filled with admiration and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's 'Optimus Prime' (Lord) who has a sharp eye. He can recognize the government's conspiracy in a moment, so that we don't go astray!"

Everyone's words made Zhang Shunquan's old face almost turn red. He didn't know about any government conspiracy at all, he just found any excuse to talk about "Purple Gold Liang". How did this become such a fiery person?

Sure enough, the monkey Wukong jumped out immediately and shouted: "This flaming eye belongs to me, grandson. What does it have to do with my master?"

It's just that this guy is just a guard and his status is not high. How can anyone care about him?

That "Purple Gold Liang" just suffered from "pink eye" for a while. After seeing Zhang Shun's analysis, he admired his ability not to be happy with things and not sad with himself.

Seeing that he had a moment of free time, Zhang Shun quickly asked: "Second Master, the matter has come to this, where should we go?"

"Zijinliang" had no clue, so he could only sigh and said: "Let's collect the defeated troops first. Originally, I was planning to go north to Lu'an Mansion. Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to go near Changping Pass, and I don't know if there are any other places. Way to go!”

"Zijinliang" just finished speaking. Xing Honglang, who came with him, hesitated for a moment and said: "Second Master, I was defeated in Gaoping by a fierce tiger who killed me. I fled into the mountains in panic. I am headless." I have been walking around for many days, and I accidentally ran back to Lu'an Mansion."

"This place is not far from here, and the locals call it 'Laomaling'. But few people walk here, and the road is rugged and difficult to travel. I wonder if it can be done?"

When "Zijinliang" heard this, he had no choice but to ask Zhang Shun, Jiutiaolong and others for their opinions. When Zhang Shun heard this, he didn't have any opinions and said: "Now that the army is defeated and dispersed, we are in danger. If we can't get rid of the current officers and soldiers in time, we will all die without a burial place. How can we care about the danger?"

At this time, many rebel infantry soldiers were chasing after them. "Purple Gold Liang", Xing Honglang and Jiutiao Long took the opportunity to gather some soldiers, and then led the team all the way north.

Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, got the traces of the bandit leaders "Zijin Liang" and "Er Guan Gong". Once he bites, where will he let go? He quickly gathered all the cavalry and personally led two generals, Fierce as a Tiger and Hu Dawei, to pursue them.

The area between Qinshui County and Lu'an Prefecture to the north is full of mountains and rivers, with rugged terrain and narrow roads. Neither the rebels nor the officers and soldiers were able to form a formation.

The rebel army had suffered an initial defeat, its morale was low, its organization was in disarray, and it was unable to fight. Zhang Shun, "Zijin Liang" and others had no choice but to make use of the terrain, fight and retreat, and escape all the way to Laomaling.

When we arrived at Laomaling, most of the mounts of Zhang Shun's artillery were damaged due to the difficult mountain road. Li Shian had no choice but to come to Zhang Shun for instructions.

Zhang Shun is not a god, and there is nothing he can do. He had no choice but to take the opportunity to suggest to the second master, "Purple Gold Liang": "Laomaling is steep and difficult to cross. If our army cannot pass all the troops at once, Zhang Zongheng will definitely take advantage of it. Why don't we build defenses based on the dangerous areas here? Snipe Zhang Zongheng's advance while quickly passing through Laomaling."

After hearing this, "Zijinliang" felt that Zhang Shun's idea was good, and said: "What brother Optimus Prime said is true, but there is one difficulty. We wait for the infantry to collapse and be unable to fight anymore. I'm afraid we can only do this. Please go and stop Zhang Zongheng."

Zhang Shun was not willing to suffer such a loss, so he made a condition: "I have very few infantry under my command, and the terrain here is not conducive to the cavalry showing off, so I have to trouble you all to help me. Otherwise, I will be unable to support myself alone, and it will be in vain!"

"Zijinliang" had no choice but to separate two to three thousand infantry with Xing Honglang and Jiutiaolong and hand them over to Zhang Shun for temporary use.

Zhang Shun was overjoyed to have these two or three thousand infantry, and he quickly summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures. As a result, everyone said one after another: "These defeated troops are no longer useful, but the master has been fooled by the old thief from "Purple Gold Liang"!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You have underestimated me, Optimus Prime. Just look at how I can use these two or three thousand infantry!"
