It turned out that a series of major things happened during the period when Zhang Shun returned to the Shunwangping camp.

First, Cao Wen ordered the generals to destroy the camp in Licheng County. The second leader "Zijin Liang" was defeated and had to cross the Taihang Mountains and enter Wu'an.

The defense of the officers and soldiers near Wu'an, the home road of the second master "Purple Golden Liang", was empty. He and others had an opportunity to take advantage of it, but unexpectedly, things developed far beyond the imagination of "Purple Golden Liang".

Let’s talk about Zuo Liangyu, who escaped from the previous defeat and quickly regained his strength. It turned out that he had followed Hou Xun's path. Not only was he not punished by the court, but he was also assigned 2,000 elite Changping troops, making him even more powerful.

After Zhang Shun and others shocked the capital, the court was worried that the thieves would threaten the capital again. Emperor Chongzhen also sent Ni Chong and Wang Pu to lead the Beijing army, while Lu Xiangsheng was reinstated, Zuo Liangyu of Henan Province made meritorious service, and Tang Jiuzhou and Deng Qi's army were also added.

The six armies totaled more than 20,000 people. The imperial court tried to completely pacify the area as far back as Jinan, that is, the area north of the Yellow River south and east of the Taihang Mountains.

These six people are all men with outstanding military exploits and have been on the battlefield for a long time. If we add Shanxi generals Cao Wenzhao, Zhang Yingchang, Hu Dawei, Mengruhu, Ai Wannian, He Renlong, Li Bei, and Po Ximu, the Ming Dynasty will be Fourteen of the world's most famous generals have arrived.

The pressure on the rebels suddenly increased greatly. The second leader "Zijin Liang", "Chuang Jiang" Huang Lai'er and others fought with officers and soldiers several times in Wu'an County, with both sides winning or losing.

Among the rebels, the "Little King of Qin" was defeated in Sanjing and captured by Zuo Liangyu; and "Man Tianxing", who had met Zhang Shun several times before, was also captured by Zhang Daojun at Wengshan in the north of Yangcheng.

For a time, the rebels suffered heavy losses. The rebel army then took advantage of the situation and attacked Pingshun County in retaliation.

Now that the battle between the two sides is in a stalemate, the second master "Purple Gold Liang" is anxious. As the saying goes, "When the country is in crisis, we will think of good generals, and when we are in trouble, we will recognize loyal ministers." The "Purple Gold Liang" once again thought of "Optimus Prime" who was good at fighting, and quickly sent "King Zuo Jin" to invite Zhang Shun to help in the battle.

It's just that Zhang Shunshun's Wangping camp is quite hidden. Neither the officers, soldiers nor the rebels know whether he has a camp, let alone where the camp is.

The "King Zuo Jin" couldn't find Zhang Shun many times, so he remembered that he met Zhang Shun's team near Yangcheng last time, so he went to Yangcheng to look for him.

After searching for a long time, he heard that there were rebels in Shengwangping. "King Zuojin" was overjoyed when he heard this, and he quickly ran to Shengwangping to look for Zhang Shun. He happened to meet Chen Changzhen who was training troops in Shengwangping.

Chen Changzhen happened to have a few connections with "King Zuo Jin" and knew that "King Zuo Jin" was a close confidant of the second leader. Knowing that something big was going on among the rebels, they sent someone to bring "King Zuo Jin" to Shunwangping camp.

Zhang Shun secretly thought that Chen Changzhen did something improper and rashly exposed the location of the Shunwangping camp, but now that the situation was urgent, he couldn't care less.

He had no choice but to arrange the defense of the camp again, and then prepared to lead his soldiers to set off to join other rebels in Wu'an County.

Before setting off, Zhang Shun paid great attention to this expedition. After he learned about the situation outside through "King Zuojin", he intuitively judged that this was a decisive battle related to the survival of the rebel army and his own life and death.

Zhang Shun suppressed his uneasiness for the time being, found the Red Lady and Jian'er, and said to them: "This time we say goodbye, we don't know whether we will live or die. Regardless of victory or defeat, there will be a result in the spring next year."

"If destiny is my destiny, I will survive by chance and forget about anything else; if my luck is bad, I will die in a foreign land. You will have no one to rely on. In the future, the world will be huge and there will be battlefields everywhere. As women, if you can't avoid it, don't participate. It’s a big deal in the world.”

"If you want to live a life without worries, you can only carry a small amount of belongings and hide in the mountains and forests. It will not be too late to leave the mountains until the world is settled."

"If you die, we will die for our love." The red lady took Jian'er's hand and replied firmly to Zhang Shun, "The world is so big, but there is no place for us to survive. If you live, we will live. This After leaving for the first time, the head of the family must be careful in everything and don't show off your strength. Everything needs to be done within your ability."

"Although the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, it is just a reflection of its glory. The head of the family has always been ambitious. If he is left to be useful, he will be able to achieve great achievements in the future. Even if we die, we will still be able to smile!"

Zhang Shun smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "I'll try my best!" Then he stopped trying to persuade and went to look for Li Sanniang and Zhu'er.

Li Sanniang and Zhu'er were teasing the "little baby" in the house. The "little baby" was at a carefree age and didn't know the pain of his parents' absence. He just laughed "quacking".

When Li Sanniang and Zhu'er saw Zhang Shun coming, they held the "little baby" to him.

After being carefully fed by Li Sanniang and Zhu'er in the past two days, the "little baby" has become a lot rounder, especially the baby's fat little face, which looks chubby.

When the "little baby" saw Zhang Shun, he didn't recognize him and smiled with his mouth open. Zhang Shun smiled, and Zhang Shun, who felt a little parting, felt better.

Zhang Shun teased the "little baby" twice, and then said to Li Sanniang and Zhu'er: "Something happened again in Wu'an, and I'm going to fight again."

Hearing this, Li Sanniang quickly handed the "little baby" to Zhu'er and hurriedly packed her things. Zhang Shun reached out and grabbed her and said to her: "This time is quite dangerous. The 'little baby' is still young, so you and Zhu'er should not go."

"Is the situation so serious?" Li Sanniang was shocked when she heard this, and she started to cry, make trouble, and hang herself, preparing to set off with Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun had been his neighbor for many years, so he didn't know her virtues. He quickly explained: "If you join the army with 'Little Baby', it will inevitably slow down the march of the army. Masters compete only on the front line. If you are defeated and die because of this, how can it be done?" Aren’t you making fun of everyone in the world?”

"What's more, I don't have any heirs yet. If I really die, I still need you to raise the 'baby' and inherit the incense for me!"

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the worst is not having an heir. Although Li Sanniang still looked at Zhang Shun eagerly after hearing this, she couldn't say anything else.

As a person of later generations, Zhang Shun actually didn't care much about these things, and he didn't procrastinate in doing things, so he said goodbye to his wives and concubines, turned around and left.

When Zhang Shun took a few steps, he was about to go out. Li Sanniang suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly: "Ms. sir, what is this son's name?"

Zhang Shun paused for a moment, feeling that if this was a direct answer, it would be a bit like raising a flag, so he responded: "We'll talk about it later!" and strode away.

After finally arranging things for the camp, Zhang Shun walked out of the village gate, only to see a man standing in front of the gate with a horizontal sword. He looked up and saw that it was Ma Yingniang.

Thanks to fan "hewle" for the large reward, thank you!
