Please ask me to be the emperor

Not to mention how the rebel leaders were connected, Zhang Shun happened to receive a letter from Chen Changzhen.

It turned out that last time Zhang Shun defeated the Jingying camp with the help of the rebels from Wu'an and Lin counties and killed Deng Qi. These people were just a mob and were still attached to their homeland, so Zhang let them go back by the way.

Only Chen Changzhen was left to guard Huixian, and he had many contacts with them secretly. They received many benefits from Zhang Shun without putting in much effort, so they reciprocated the favor and reported all the incidents of "breaking into the king" one by one.

Only then did Zhang Shun understand the whole story: It turned out that at the very beginning, the "Chuang King" and the second master "Zijin Liang" were defeated and separated by officers and soldiers. "Purple Gold Liang" was defeated and fled to Zelu, but "Chuang King" stayed behind. Near Fenzhou and Xizhou.

At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty dismissed the governor Song Tongyin, and ordered Xu Dingchen to supervise He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu's 8,000 troops to station in Pingyang; Xuanda Governor Zhang Zongheng supervised Zhang Yingchang, Po Ximu, and Ai Wannian's 7,000 troops to block Fenzhou in an attempt to wipe out the city in one fell swoop. people. It was only because Zhang Shun and "Purple Gold Liang" took the opportunity to capture Liaozhou that he was able to escape.

After that, "Chuang King" kept entangled with Zhang Yingchang and could not get away. There were many casualties among the rebel leaders here. The men and horses under these rebel commanders had no one to rely on, so they mostly took refuge in "King Chuang", so "King Chuang" became stronger and stronger. It was not until Cao Wenzhao defeated the rebel army east of Taiyuan and drove the "Zijinliang" into Henan that the "Chuang King" repelled Zhang Yingchang's entanglement and was able to find an opportunity to advance eastward.

At this time, Zhang Shun had gathered men and horses to prepare for the battle with Deng Qi and Zuo Liangyu's followers in Huixian County. Unexpectedly, the "King Chuang" marched to the vicinity of Liaozhou, but encountered Cao Wenzhao's encirclement and suppression.

How could "Chuang King" withstand Cao Wenzhao's attack? He had no choice but to cross to the east of Taihang Mountain, intending to go north and join the rebels near Wutai Mountain. As a result, he unexpectedly encountered Lu Xiangsheng, the "King of Hell".

Although there were many men and horses under the command of "King Chuang", they were unable to break through Lu Xiangsheng's defense line and go north, and they did not dare to return to Shanxi. It happened that they heard that the "Eight Kings", "General Chuang" and "Living Cao Cao" were in Huaiqing Mansion, Wei Wei Near Hui Mansion, they turned around and headed south, preparing to join the generals and seize the opportunity to seize power.

Only then did Zhang Shun understand why Cao Wenzhao and the "Chuang King" arrived belatedly after the war ended. The two of them struggled with their relationship first, but couldn't get any advantage, so they thought of looking for an advantage here.

But how can Zhang Shun be a fuel-efficient lamp? At present, his generals and staff are scattered in various places and cannot be gathered together for a while. Zhang Shun had no choice but to go to Song Xiance in person, hoping to discuss with him the "Chuang King" opportunity to seize power. As a result, when Zhang Shun arrived at Song Xiance's military tent, he was not there.

It turned out that "Living Cao Cao" had visited Song Xiance in advance before visiting Zhang Shun. According to Song Xiance's understanding, his lord would naturally not be unable to handle a "living Cao Cao", so he did not report it to Zhang Shun immediately. Instead, he quickly attracted "King Zuo Jin", "Ge Liyan", "King of Zhishi" and "Zhengshi". The four kings went.

Needless to say, the "King of the World" and the "King of the World" are both figures from Zhang Shun's camp. Their families are all in Shengwangping, so they will not betray easily.

And the "King Zuojin" and "Ge Liyan" were direct descendants of the "Purple Gold Liang", and their cavalry had strong combat effectiveness. If they were lost, Zhang Bian's vitality would be severely damaged.

Fortunately, when Song Xiance was looking for these two people, these two people also happened to come to look for Song Xiance.

In their view, Song Xiance, as the military advisor of the "Purple Golden Liang", was one of their own. The two of them led Song Xiance into the tent of "King Zuojin" and asked quickly: "Master Qixu, we are both under the command of the second master Zijinliang. Now we are under someone else's fence. One will suffer, and the other will be prosperous. Now, 'King Chuang' 'You have promised a lot, come and win us over. You are the second in command of the family and have always been resourceful. What do you think we should do?"

When Song Xiance heard this title, he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, and the old man replied calmly: "Old Taoists are people from outside the country. It doesn't matter who they follow or not. It's just that you two are young and promising. One step at a time." If you step on the wrong step, you will step on the wrong step every step of the way!”

As soon as the two heard that there was something going on, the "Ge Liyan" was the most powerful and quickly asked: "Now that King Shun is weak and 'King Chuang' is powerful, should we follow 'King Chuang'?"

Song Xiance rolled his eyes secretly when he heard this. This guy really couldn't hold his temper. He was still too young. So, he smiled and said: "It depends on the ambitions of the two of you. If you just want to save your wealth and life, it is best to vote for 'Chuang'; if you want to achieve great achievements, it is best to vote for 'Shun'!"

"How do you say this?" "King Zuo Jin" was stunned when he heard this and asked quickly.

"Nowadays, 'Chuang King' is very powerful, so there is no danger of life if you take refuge with 'Chuang King'. Even if 'Chuang King' is weak in the future, you can just go to another strong one." A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses 'Serve the Lord', that's probably what I'm talking about!"

"If you want to achieve great achievements, you should put loyalty first. The second master entrusted us to King Shun, and we should stick to it till the end. We should not be capricious towards Qin and Mu Chu. What's more, now King Shun is weak and King Chuang is strong. . A strong investment is the icing on the cake, a weak investment is a timely help. The icing on the cake is dispensable; a timely help is the deepest love."

"King Zuo Jin" and "King Geliyan" looked at each other after hearing this. Listening to what this "Qixu Taoist" meant, taking refuge in "King Chuang" is a slave of the third surname, but taking refuge in "King Shun" is Guan Gong and Marquis Huan?

It's just that it's good to provide help in times of need, but you must not let others stay warm while you freeze to death. Then "King Zuojin" and "King Liyan" quickly asked: "Although King Shun is good, how dangerous is it?"

Song Xiance sighed when he heard this and said: "You two, to tell you the truth, I am not a learned and Confucian person. I can't tell what the ambitions and abilities of these two people are."

"It's just that I have studied physiognomy carefully, and I have a little glimpse of the secret. I have never seen the appearance of 'King Chuang', but I don't know. But this King Shun has eyes like Emperor Shun, appearance like Fu Xi, and arms like Zhao Fierce and powerful, it is destined to be a foundation for one day and create peace for all eternity!"

"At first, I thought I was too dim-sighted to do it accurately. I also saw a 'Yellow River Stone' sent by a river worker, and it actually had the meaning of 'a wooden ruler hanging on a curved ruler, and it will stop if it goes right'. It was God's will. It's really amazing!"

"King Zuojin" and "King Liyan" couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this, and after a while they asked repeatedly: "Master Qixu, is King Shun really like this? We, the whole army, young and old, are all tied to this. If we step forward If you are wrong, you will be irreversible!"

Song Xiance heard this and said unswervingly: "Your life is life, isn't the life of me, an old Taoist, not life? I don't have a way to live forever, nor do I have the ability to be inferior to a sword or a gun. If I make a mistake, so will I. The result of death of body and soul."

"For the sake of both of you being subordinates of the second master, I would like to advise you both: Ordinary people who don't know dragons will be like entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed; if you do nothing to support the dragon court, the glory and wealth will be passed down from generation to generation!"

"King Zuo Jin" and "King Ge Liyan" looked at each other after hearing this, gritted their teeth, knelt down and said, "The Taoist Master is an expert from outside the world. We have eyes but cannot see Mount Tai. Since the Taoist Master is willing to follow King Shun, We are also willing to follow the path and follow the lead, and work together to achieve the goal of following the dragon!"
