Please ask me to be the emperor

This "King of Hell" was actually very disgusted with the arrival of Zhang Shun and "Chuang Jiang". As the saying goes, "Snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways." Although this "Lord of Hell" is known as a rebel, he is actually nothing more than a bandit.

Ancient society was different from modern society. Government control was weak, and bandits and bandits were often entrenched in remote and dangerous places. Although these bandits and bandits are not officially recognized by the government, they actually exist by default.

Both parties have a tacit understanding that bandits and bandits will not commit major crimes and rely on collecting tolls from passers-by as their main source of income. This is exactly what "thief has his own way". The government, on the other hand, turned a blind eye and did not bother to encircle and suppress the bandits, nor did it affect its own praise of the peaceful and prosperous age.

If these bandits and bandits become powerful, or commit heinous crimes that affect people outside the government circle, the tacit understanding between the two parties will be broken, which will inevitably lead to a government crackdown.

This "King of Hell" was originally a small bandit. His power grew only because the rebels disrupted Shanxi and a large number of refugees and disaster victims poured into the east of the Taihang Mountains.

Although it is called "one hundred thousand", in fact, there are only 30,000 to 40,000 men, women, and children. If the strong men were pulled out, they would not be as good as more than ten thousand. As for the so-called people who can fight, there are only four or five thousand. If there is a conflict with Zhang Shun and "Chuang Jiang", it is impossible to say that the village will change its owner today.

This "Lord of Hell" has not yet transformed from the status of a small bandit leader, and still fantasizes about peaceful coexistence with the government, and does not offend the river. As a result, two tough gangsters, "Optimus Prime" and "Chuang Jiang", came, and they suddenly became worried. Firstly, he was afraid that these two people would seize his mountain stronghold, and secondly, he was afraid that it would trigger an encirclement and suppression by the government.

Zhang Shun and "Chuang Jiang" Huang Lai'er were originally outstanding people. After several contacts with this "King of Hell", they got a feel for his mind. The two of them pretended not to know and just drank with the guy.

After drinking and eating, the two of them said goodbye to "Lord of Hell" temporarily and went to the camp at the foot of the mountain to rest.

After everyone was out of sight of "King Lu Yan", the "General" asked: "Little brother, what do you think of this person?"

"A narrow-minded person cannot accomplish great things!" Zhang Shun commented.

"What should we do next?"

Zhang Shun glanced at the "general" and thought: This guy looks like a boring gourd, but he is also cunning and cunning. He then smiled and said: "It's just that we can't separate, kill, and combine the three strategies. I don't know how the 'general' will choose?"

"What are the 'Three Strategies of Leaving, Killing, and Combining'?" "Yiyihu" asked uncontrollably.

"'Li' means to leave, and the Thirty-six Stratagems of Walking are the best. Since this person does not suit my liking, leave means; 'Kill' means to replace him. We took the opportunity to kill this person and seize his stronghold and subordinates; 'Combined' means the three of us are working together here, acting as each other's horns, and turning the land of Zhili upside down."

"A Tiger" couldn't help but show a fierce look in his eyes when he heard this, and said sternly: "If we leave, it will be too easy for this person. If we join forces, we will be controlled by this person. If we don't kill him, we will take all his people and property." And use it, defeat the officers and soldiers in the south, hold the capital in the north, and let us all do something together."

Zhang Shun looked at "a tiger" with interest for a while. Only when he looked uncomfortable did he turn to "Chuang Jiang" and asked, "What do you think, Brother Huang?"

The "Investor"'s face turned red and white when he heard this. He came over for a while and then said, "I really can't make a choice. What do you think, little brother?"

Zhang Shun smiled softly when he heard this and thought: Although this "general" is a hero, it is a pity that he cannot do great things. Benevolence, righteousness and interests cannot be had at the same time, and such people are like snakes and rats.

If you learn from Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, you will use your benevolence and righteousness to win over the world's heroes, and you must not forget your righteousness; if you follow Cao Cao's example, you will use your benefits to win over the world's heroes, and you will use all possible means to play with the world's heroes. This person's painting of a tiger is not the opposite of a dog, and the picture makes him smile.

However, these two are not enough to learn, and they are not the way of an emperor. The way of an emperor is to be a saint within and a king outside, with the world in mind and aspirations in all directions. Only in this way can one become a true hero.

Thinking of this, Zhang smiled and said: "Although 'King Lu Yan' is not listed in the thirty-sixth battalion, he is still a member of the rebel army. Now the officers and soldiers are fierce, and the rebel army is facing many difficulties. If we cannot work together, we will be attacked by the officers and soldiers." Take advantage, isn't this a matter of pain for relatives and pleasure for enemies?"

"In my opinion, everyone has his own ambitions, and it is better to stay apart! If one day, this person wakes up, we will work together again, who knows?"

"Yi Hu" couldn't help but scolded after hearing this: "Hypocritical benevolence and righteousness!"

"'One Tiger' must not be rude!" "Chuang Jiang" quickly stopped his nephew and bowed to Zhang Shun, "'Optimus Prime' is indeed unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness. I admire him so much, but he is greedy." !”

Zhang Shun laughed when he heard this, said goodbye to "General Chuang" and others, and led everyone back to the camp. As a result, Zhang Shun had just said goodbye to everyone and entered his tent when he heard that Zhang Shenyan and Li Xin had come to visit.

Zhang Shun felt strange, so he invited the two people to the account, served Li Sanniang and Zhu'er with tea, and then asked: "You two don't rest late at night, what can you teach me?"

The two of them didn't dare to talk to each other. Zhang Shenyan, relying on his age, said, "Li Xin and I have just been thinking about the general's strategy. It's quite controversial, so we came here to ask the general for advice!"

"I am older and know that fame and fortune are all false, so I think it is better to kill them; while Li Xin believes that the offensive and defensive forces will be different if benevolence and righteousness are not practiced. Only benevolent and righteous people can conquer the world. The two of us argued endlessly. , now I see that the general has chosen the 'leave' policy, and I don't know the reason, so I came to inquire!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said: "Both of you are in love with each other. The way of an emperor is to put great benevolence and righteousness first, and to put villains and small righteousness at the bottom. This is what the sage said: To be tainted by the country is called the master of the country. "To receive bad luck in the country is to be the king of the world. Since it is for the sake of the world, you should do it with all your strength, and you should not be afraid of idle talk."

"My husband, 'Lord of Hell', is just a deaf and blind person who has no choice but to live or die by himself. He thinks he has a tacit understanding with the government, but he doesn't know that his power has grown and has violated the government. Now that the government has not had time to suppress it, it is just for the time being. I just can’t take my hand away.”

"This person is nothing more than a mountain bandit. Whether he is alive or dead, what does it have to do with me? If I kill him, I will offend his tribe. They are all weak and incompetent people. If I reluctantly gather them, the gains will outweigh the losses, and they will be punished by them." blame."

"If we don't retreat and wait for him, he will be attacked by the officers and soldiers within half a month. This 'Lu Yanwang' is not as talented as the middle man, how can he deal with Zuo Liangyu and Lu Xiangsheng. When the mountain is exhausted, there will be something to ask for." Wait with me. Adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help in the snow. When the time comes, we will gather his heart and rectify the troops under his command, and we will get twice the result with half the effort!"
