Please ask me to be the emperor

Lu Xiangsheng was in a very depressed mood. He couldn't understand why a joke-like rumor could have such a big impact on him. He was getting more frustrated and braver, and planned to continue to intensify training of soldiers based on the shortcomings of this battle. Unexpectedly, he was suspended from his post by Emperor Chongzhen's order and accepted the imperial court sending someone to investigate the truth of the matter.

Zhang Shun didn't know that his disgusting little trick had achieved such great "results" and directly disabled the ability of the enemy in person.

"Lu Yanwang"'s original subordinates were all scattered. "Chuang Jiang" and Zhang Shun tried their best to gather them, but they could only gather more than 20,000 people. "Chuang Jiang" started early and gathered more than 15,000 people, including 3,000 to 4,000 young men. Adding to the "Chuang Jiang" original force of more than 3,000 people, the camp instantly expanded to 7,000 people.

Except for some simple weapons in the hands of these strong men, they had no other equipment, and for a while they had no combat effectiveness.

Zhang Shun and "Chuang Jiang" had no other way to improve the combat effectiveness of this group of people, so they had to use these labor forces to renovate the original Xishan Camp and set up some fences, watchtowers and other military facilities for the defense of the Xishan Camp. And take some time to train these young men.

While Zhang Shun and "Chuang Jiang" were busy working in full swing, a tired messenger rode a fast horse into the Xishan camp.

Zhang Shun was originally busy with the construction of the camp, but was called over by the "general". As soon as Zhang Shun arrived at the "Chuang Jiang" camp, he heard someone crying.

Zhang Shun heard that his voice was quite familiar. When he entered the door and took a closer look, he saw that it was none other than the "King Zuo Jin" under the command of "Zi Jin Liang" whom he had seen before.

Zhang Shun quickly asked: "Brother, aren't you following the second master? How did you get here!"

"King Zuo Jin" said while holding back his tears when he heard this: "It turns out they are indeed brothers Optimus Prime. Since you two are here, the second master can be saved!"

"How do you say this?" Zhang Shun was surprised when he heard this.

"That day you and the two 'Chuang Generals' left Liaozhou and captured the pass. Unexpectedly, Xu Dingchen, the new governor of Shanxi, and Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, suddenly led an army to besiege Liaozhou. The two leaders were alone and had to avoid their attacks."

"As a result, Zhang Zongheng cut off our way to the west and could not join up with you two. We had to fight and retreat all the way north. The two thieves Zhang and Xu refused to let go and pursued us as far as Wutai Mountain, but still could not Give up. The second master is now besieged in Xiantong Temple in Mount Wutai, and is at loggerheads with the two thieves."

"The second master was worried that he would be lost if he stayed for a long time, so he specially sent me to leave the temple at night to ask for help. I was worried that the mountain road would be difficult to travel, so I missed the time, so I went to the officers and soldiers camp, grabbed a war horse and killed the general, and asked for news about the rebels along the way. Come here."

"Until a few days ago, I heard that the 'King of Hell Lu' in Xishan had a hundred thousand troops and was a powerful force in Zhili, so I came to ask for help. I never thought that this man would actually be captured by the two of you and take the troops here."

Before "King Zuo Jin" finished speaking, Zhang Shun quickly interrupted: "Brothers, 'King Zuo Jin', you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. What do you mean the two of us took over the 'King of Hell Lu' cottage?"

"We had met this 'King of Hell' Lu several times before. We advised him to reorganize his troops and go north to join the second master. But this man refused to listen and instead became a 'local tyrant'. , plundered nearby prefectures and counties. Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Zhili, did not tolerate it, so Lu Xiangsheng personally led the army to attack. We heard the news and came to support, but we never thought that 'King Lu Yan' would be disadvantaged in the battle and died in a fierce battle."

"We had no choice but to defeat Lu Xiangsheng. When we saw that the men under the command of 'King Lu Hell' had no place to stay, we took them in to avoid dying of hunger. It is a great achievement! Brother, please don't tarnish our reputations."

"King Zuo Jin" heard this and curled his lips in disbelief. However, now that I have something to ask for, I dare not go against Zhang Shun's words, so I can only apologize and say: "It was Zuo who made a mistake, and I don't want to blame the two of you. It is said that the two of you have occupied this Xishan stronghold and have strong soldiers and horses. Now the second master is in charge. We are in danger, and for the sake of the fact that we are all members of the Thirty-sixth Battalion, I beg you to hurry up and save me!"

Zhang Shun and "Chuang Jiang" looked at each other and asked, "What did Brother Huang think just now? Why are you crying here?"

"King Zuo Jin" heard this with an angry look on his face and shouted: "It's in vain that the second master valued this 'advocate' in the past, but as soon as he mentioned going to Mount Wutai to rescue the second master, he turned away from him. He is really a villain!"

"General Chuang" was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and quickly defended: "The second master has treated me with great kindness, but now Optimus Prime and I only have three to five thousand troops under our command." Shanxi Governor Xu Dingchen and Governor Xuanda Zhang Zongheng is an important minister in Shanxi, and the two of them have more than ten thousand elite men. Even if the two of us go, what can we do? In my opinion, it is better to surround Wei to rescue Zhao and attack other state capitals to mobilize the main force of officers and soldiers!"

"King Zuo Jin" heard this and became even more angry and cursed: "Cowardless people! If these two people have more than ten thousand elites under their command, how can the second master resist until now? What they say about besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, in my opinion, is just cowardice of the enemy and fear of war. That’s all. The reputation of ‘those who follow the camp and are good at fighting, and those who break into the camp and are good at attacking’ are really in vain! If you are brave, how about trying to attack the capital?”

Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "What my brother said is true. If a tiger doesn't show off its power, treat me as a hello sick cat! In this case, 'Chuang Jiang' and I will have to go to the capital to give old man Chongzhen a New Year's gift." yes!"

"King Zuo Jin" and "General Chuang" were shocked when they heard this, and quickly tried to dissuade him: "Brothers, you must never act out of loyalty. (I) He just used the method of provoking you to save the second master, how could he lose his life in vain? "

Zhang Shun smiled and said: "You two are too worried. Just now, Brother Huang mentioned the matter of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao. I thought to myself that if the two of us lead an army to Wutai Mountain, we may not be able to defeat the two thieves Zhang and Xu if we combine the forces of the two masters. , we take him by surprise and attack him unprepared, and go north to the capital, with a false shot, we will definitely frighten the Ming emperor and his ministers to the point where they cannot sleep or eat well!"

"Although Zhang Zongheng and Xu Dingchen are Shanxi officials, they are still ministers of the Ming Dynasty. If there is a police force in the capital, I don't believe he will not mobilize his troops to the west. If they are stationed in Wutai Mountain, how can Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty spare them two lightly?"

"King Zuo Jin" and "Jiang Chuang" first heard Zhang Shun's plan and thought that this man was simply crazy. But if we think about it more carefully, it seems to be very feasible. Then he asked uncertainly: "The important place in the capital must be heavily guarded. If we encounter elite border troops, how can we resist them?"

Zhang Shun responded confidently: "You two don't know. The capital is an important place and is heavily guarded. To the north and west of the capital, there are the four towns of Xuan Da Ji Liao, all of which are elites in the world, to guard the Jurchens. To the southwest of the capital, along the Taihang Mountains, there are Juyong Pass, Zijin Pass, Daoma Pass and Gu Pass are collectively called the 'Four Passes in the West of Beijing'. Apart from this, there is no other defense."
