Please ask me to be the emperor

As Zhang Shun escaped, the battle between the rebel army and the officers and soldiers was coming to an end.

Originally, according to Zhang Shun's battle plan, when Zhang Shun led more than a thousand cavalrymen of "King Zuo Jin" and "Geri Eye" to go behind the battle formations of Zuo Liangyu and Tang Jiuzhou, the outcome was already decided.

Zuo Liangyu and others had fewer troops than the rebels, and were attacked from both sides by the rebels. How could they remain undefeated?

It was just that Zhang Shun was careless for a moment and was taken advantage of by a rout of troops and almost died. Only then did he deeply feel the "danger of war".

Zuo Liangyu's front line could not withstand the rebel attack, and the cavalry in the back line was directly charged by Wukong, scaring away the guerrilla general Yue's loyalty, causing the entire cavalry army to waver, and then the entire army to waver. The four thousand Chang Pingping elites lasted less than half a day before they were completely defeated.

Fortunately, Zuo Liangyu did not have much other experience, but he had particularly rich experience in defeats. He quickly gathered up the rout and retreated, while ordering the guerrilla general Yue Zhongzhong to restrain the cavalry as soon as possible and drive the rebel cavalry to pursue.

Because Zhang Shun was trapped in a tight siege, he was unable to command directly. "King Zuo Jin", "Grey Eye" and Wukong fought independently, but could not concentrate their strength to give Zuo Liangyu a fatal blow.

In the end, the annihilation battle Zhang Shun expected did not succeed, but turned into a defeat battle. Both sides chased each other. The rebels pursued for three or four miles, and finally encountered Deng Qi and others who were waiting in full formation.

It turned out that Deng Qi was afraid that Zuo Liangyu would be lost. After Zuo Liangyu left the city, he led all his men to press the formation behind Zuo Liangyu, which happened to save the entire Changping army.

When Zhang Sanbai sent Zhang Shun the detailed battle situation, Zhang Shun pondered for a moment and then made a decisive decision: "Although the officers and soldiers are defeated now, their strength is not damaged. Although our army has won, the pursuit is chaotic. It is not suitable to fight the enemy today. Retreat to camp quickly."

After receiving Zhang Shun's order, Zhang Sanbai used Zhang Shun's name and ordered the rebels to withdraw and return to the camp. Zuo Liangyu and Tang Jiuzhou were newly defeated, and Deng Qi and Ma Fengyi did not dare to pursue the rebels in turn. In this way, both sides stopped their troops and returned to camp to rest.

When they arrived at the camp, the "Eight Kings", "Living Cao Cao" and "The King of Troubled Times" could not help but admire Zhang Shun. They did not know that Zhang Shun was personally involved in the danger. Except for the main orders for this battle, all were issued by Zhang Shun on his behalf.

Although Zhang Shun believed that this should have been a clean victory, he was quite upset because of his own mistakes.

Others had different views. They were originally the party being chased by the officers and soldiers. Even if there were occasional small victories, they took advantage of small-scale encounters.

Originally, they were quite uneasy about Zhang Shun gathering them and the officers and soldiers to launch a battle. As a result, they really didn't expect to be able to defeat the officers and soldiers in a frontal battle, so they couldn't help but not be convinced by Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun was quite happy to see that they were convinced. Originally, he heard Zhang Sanbai say that when the order was given to launch an attack, they, the rebel commanders, were quite hesitant, almost missed the opportunity to fight, and were quite worried. Now that they know each other, it saves them a lot of effort.

At the same time, Zhang Shun also looked at Zhang Sanbai with admiration. It turned out that he had recruited him under his command with the idea of ​​"buying horse bones for a thousand gold".

His martial arts skills are not as good as those of Wukong, Chen Changzhen, and Xiao Qinhu, and his intelligence is not as good as those of Chen Jindou, Song Xiance, and Chen Jingzhi. As a result, I didn't expect that this person would grow so quickly now. If he was carefully cultivated, he might not be a talented person like Wei Huo in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun looked at Zhang three hundred or two more times with complicated eyes, thinking: You are so lucky!

Everyone celebrated. After the banquet was over, Zhang Shun thought for a while and ordered Wukong to ride a fast horse and go to a nearby county to buy some wine and meat.

Wukong's physical condition was extraordinary, and he looked exhausted after fighting for a long time with no solution, so he accepted the order. Zhang Shun's life and death were at stake within a day, his mood was ups and downs, and he was already exhausted. After he arranged the vigil, he took an early rest without mentioning it.

When he woke up the next day, Zhang Shun had just taken care of his mundane affairs, and Wukong rushed back drunk.

It turned out that this guy followed Zhang Shun and worked hard all the way. He hadn't had any food or drink for a long time, and his mouth was full of greed. Now that Zhang Shun has given orders, how can he still control his mouth?

He bought some more wine and meat, ate and drank along the way, and after struggling all night, he ran back to the camp.

When Zhang Shun saw him, he fanned his nose and frowned: "The second commandment is not to drink alcohol at will; the sixth commandment is not to disobey the master. Let's take a look. How many commandments have you violated?"

When Wukong heard this, he was excited and said with a stern look on his face: "Master, don't be upset. Everyone enjoyed the banquet yesterday. It's just that there was a lack of wine and meat. I, the old grandson, was so greedy that I secretly ate some!"

"Breaking the commandments is breaking the commandments!" Zhang Shun said without mercy, "Go and get twenty military sticks, and come back to me after you sober up!"

In fact, Zhang Shun didn't mind Wukong drinking, and he understood in his heart. But what he cares about is that if this crazy guy doesn't obey his orders, he will be a disaster sooner or later. If not, wouldn't it be unfair if this guy went crazy at the critical moment and gave himself a blow on the head?

Wukong sighed, and had no choice but to hand the wine and meat to Zhang Shun, and went to lead the military stick. Only then did a smile appear on Zhang Shun's face.

Zhang Shun opened the wine and meat bought by Wukong and took a look, and couldn't help but turn from joy to anger. It turned out that this guy was greedy for wine along the way and drank half of the remaining jar of wine. Fortunately, the remaining meat was still good and there was no sign of being passive.

Zhang Shun had no choice but to put the half jar of old wine in the camp, re-wrapped the bag of meat, and carried Shi Shiran to Ma Yingniang's residence.

At this time, Zhang Sanbai was at Ma Yingniang's place, scolding his sister. It wasn't until this morning that he heard that his sister had single-handedly rescued Zhang Shun from the soldiers.

Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but said angrily: "Our Lord, he is destined to be a man of destiny. He must turn disaster into good fortune. Where do you need to come and rescue him? You are just a girl's family, how can you show off and act like a hero?"

"Brother, brother, brother!" Ma Yingniang said coquettishly, "Isn't your well-behaved sister a good girl? The work has been done, please calm down!"

Zhang Sanbai really had nothing to do with her, so he could only persuade her nicely: "Sister, I know what you are thinking. It's just that our master is the seed of passion, a ruthless king. You see, he has several wives and concubines before his career is successful. Yes? Even if you join in, what good consequences will there be?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yingniang put away her playful smile and said seriously: "As a woman, I, Ma Yingniang, do not seek to be the king of the world, but only want to be the queen of the world, so why not?"

"Are you so sure that Zhang Shun can become an emperor?" Zhang Sanbai asked helplessly.

"With me, Ma Yingniang, how can he not be the emperor of the world?" Ma Yingniang said with a smile.

Zhang Sanbai was speechless. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard Wu Ma shouting: "King Shun, take a rest for a moment. I will go and inform my girl!"

Zhang Sanbai had no choice but to say, "You can take care of yourself!" Then he turned around and left through the back door.
