Please ask me to be the emperor

Deng Qixin was defeated, Zuo Liangyu thought that he was more than able to defend himself, and he was bound to lose in battle, so he did not dare to fight.

Zhang Shun tried several times to challenge, but failed, so he cursed: "I thought you were a good man before, but now it seems that Deng Qi is not surprising, and the Zuo family is a stubborn stone!"

Deng Qi and Zuo Liangyu were also well-educated. No matter how insulted Zhang Shun was, they did not talk back. Zhang Shun had no choice but to retreat overnight and return to Jiyuan.

However, after Zhang Shun's victory and laughter and scolding, the morale of the rebel army, which had dropped due to the death of the second leader "Zijin Liang", was restored a lot in a short time. Even Deng Qi and Zuo Liangyu got the nicknames "Deng Buqi" and "Zuo Nashi" because of this. If they fight Zhang Shun in the future, their morale will inevitably drop by three points.

By the time Zhang Shun returned to Jiyuan, it was already dawn, and Zhang Shenyan had already finished handling the aftermath of the battlefield. The people who had been fighting and pursuing for a day and night were exhausted physically and mentally. Zhang Shun still gritted his teeth and led the victorious cavalry back. Carrying Yang Yuchun's flag and some of the soldiers' armors, helmets and other trophies, they returned to the city in a show of glory to boost the morale of the rebels in Jiyuan City. .

After the "show" was over, Zhang Shun returned to the room and fell asleep. Ma Yingniang, who was lingering at the door waiting for Zhang Shun, did not have time to say a word.

When Ma Yingniang saw that Zhang Shun had returned safely, she stamped her feet and cursed: "It's like a pig's head, it only knows how to sleep!" But she had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Afterwards, the officers and soldiers really did not dare to harass the Huaiqing Mansion again, and the rebels had a rare few days of stability.

At this time, other rebel leaders, such as the "Eight Kings", "Living Cao Cao", "Sweeping King", "Nine Dragons", "Chaos King", "Armor-breaking Cone", etc., arrived one after another.

While Zhang Shun ordered Zhang Shenyan, Xu Ziyuan and others to arrange a place for them to camp, he sadly told them that the second leader "Zijin Liang" died and entrusted the thirty-sixth battalion to him.

After everyone heard this, their first reaction was disbelief. It wasn't until they saw the body of the second master "Zijin Liang" with their own eyes and heard "Jiang Chuang" narrating what happened that they reluctantly accepted this statement.

After they left, Zhang Shun wanted to use his relationship with the adopted son of the professor "Eight Kings" to win over him. As a result, the "Eight Great Kings" refused on the grounds that their subordinates had newly arrived and there were many affairs in the camp.

After Zhang Shun laughed and joked with him for a while, he let him go. As soon as these rebel commanders left, Zhang Shun's face suddenly dropped.

Seeing this, Zhang Shenyan comforted him in a low voice: "The people on the left and right are just clowns. Why should the general be worried?"

Zhang Shun did not reply, but turned to Taoist Qixu and asked, "What do you think, Taoist Master?"

Unexpectedly, the pragmatic Taoist smiled and said: "The general cares about gains and losses a little too much. The left and right sides are just free gains. They can get the loyalty of 'King Zuo Jin' and 'Ge Liyan' and the second master's command of more than a thousand cavalry. Ten thousand cavalry." It is rare to have any remaining soldiers, so why should we worry so much?"

Zhang Shenyan always felt that there was something wrong with this old Taoist priest, especially when he said this to Zhang Shun, he did not regard himself as an outsider, which was really unreasonable. However, since Zhang Shun didn't say anything, Zhang Shenyan wouldn't ask.

At this time, Zhang Shun said to the two of them: "The people are suffering from insufficiency. We have both Long and Shu. Now that the imperial court is powerful, the Tartars outside the pass are also eyeing them. Time waits for us not to wait!"

"Although that generation is incompetent, they each have hundreds or even one or two thousand soldiers who dare to fight. If we can gather this generation and integrate them together, we can defeat the officers and soldiers, find a foundation, and build a legacy for eternity!"

"Otherwise, I'm going to hide here and there like a rat in the toilet, and how can I be able to ascend to the elegant hall?"

Zhang Shenyan and Qixu Taoist couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but admire: "I never thought that the general would have such an ambition. In this case, we don't dare to do our best to assist the general!"

Zhang Shenyan came up with a plan first and said, "I have a plan, I don't know if it's feasible or not!"

Zhang Shun heard this and said quickly: "Mr. Zhang, please speak!"

"As the saying goes, 'If your name is not right, your words will not go smoothly, and if your words are not right, things will not happen.' Now that the general is the leader of the Thirty-sixth Battalion, there must be some people who are dissatisfied. Until tomorrow, the general will first observe the situation and see who is the leader. "

"The leader must be someone who threatens the general's status. The general can order him to lead troops to eliminate the threat from Shanxi in the north; the general can bring his own troops to attack Deng Qi and Zuo Liangyu to the east of the Taihang Mountains."

"In the land of Shanxi, Cao Wenzhao supervises the generals who are brave and good at fighting and are difficult to resist. If they are defeated, the general can deal with them according to military law; if they are defeated, I am afraid that both sides will suffer, and the general can just reap the benefits of the fishermen."

Here Zhang Shun and others have made a decision, and over there the newly arrived rebel commanders have already gathered together in private and talked about the current situation.

The "King of Chaos" first lost his younger brother "King of Hunshi" and was quite angry. He also complained that Zhang Shun and the second leader "Purple Gold Liang" had the same heart. He was dissatisfied and cursed: "This thief is not a good person." Fan wears the same pair of trousers as the second master's 'Zijinliang', and now he pretends to be entrusted by the second master, which is sheer nonsense!"

"We are all from Yansui, and we are all good men on horseback and archery. How can we accept the arrogance of Henan people!"

When "Nine Dragons" heard this, his face tightened, he stood up and said angrily: "You Shaanxi people are human beings, aren't we Shanxi people not human beings?"

It turns out that these "Nine Dragons" were originally from Shanxi, and they only joined the rebel army because of the arrival of "Purple Golden Liang".

"Living Cao Cao" has always been very scheming. Seeing that internal strife broke out in his own family, he quickly dissuaded him: "Everyone calm down, don't talk nonsense about the 'king of troubled times'. For the position of leader, what people in Shaanxi can do, what people in Shanxi can do, how can it be done?" What are the differences between Shaanxi and Henan?"

"It's just that the position of alliance leader has always been elected by us. How can it be given to each other privately? This is against the rules!"

The "King of Troubled Times" knew that he had made a mistake, and quickly responded: "Yes, that's right, 'Living Cao Cao' is right. This is called giving and receiving privately, and I am totally opposed to it."

"Especially the second-in-command 'Zijinliang', you all didn't believe me when I exposed him for killing 'Lao Huihui'. He also swore a vicious oath, saying that if he had done it himself, he would die in chaos. Under the arrow. Now he died under the arrow. Isn't this the will of God? The sky is clear, the sky is clear!"

"Living Cao Cao" was not present at the time, and he was shocked when he heard this. It turns out that regardless of his character and reputation, this person has a good reputation as a thief. He pays special attention to practicing the rules among the rebels, such as "thieves do not kill thieves" and "recommend the leader of the alliance" and other rules.

As a result, he didn't expect that the "King of Chaos" would explode again, and he felt vaguely that the whole thing was out of control.
