Please ask me to be the emperor

Huanjun Mingzhu sheds tears, wishing she could not meet again when she was not married. The words come from the "Ode to a Chaste Woman" by Zhang Ji, a poet from the Tang Dynasty. When Liu Rushi just explained this point, Zhang Shun couldn't help but sigh: "My old Zhang family has many talents. If they are all used by me, what will happen to the world?"

Liu Rushi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she gave him a light punch and continued: "This is the poem that Zhang Ji used to tactfully refuse when Pinglu and Ziqing Jiedushi tried to recruit Zhang Ji."

Zhang Shun reacted quickly and immediately understood that the magistrate of Song County was determined to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. He could only sigh helplessly and let him go.

On the second day, Zhang Shun led the army to bid farewell to the county magistrate He Fu, Wei Zhiyou, Fu Yuren, Liu Jiangyue and others, and rushed all the way to the northeast.

When Zhang Shun's army was far away and no shadow could be seen, the county magistrate He Fu withdrew his gaze. He said to Wei Zhiyou, Fu Yuren and Liu Jiangyue: "Let's go back to the county office! I want to write to the court, firstly to request that I be punished for the crime of the trap, and secondly to explain to the court the movements of the thieves."

Wei Zhiyou came from a rough background but did not realize the seriousness of this matter. Fu Yuren and Liu Jiangyue were originally from literary backgrounds and knew very well what it was like to be a county magistrate. Since this person has written to the court, he will definitely take all the process into his own hands.

The two people quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. He, this is absolutely unacceptable! If the court blames you, I'm afraid you can't afford it."

The county magistrate He Fu gently shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I thought that if I were here again, the thieves would not be allowed to enter the Song County city. I never thought of this scene, the thieves actually took the city without blood. It is really hopeless. Yan meets Jiangdong’s elders.”

"Previously, the imperial court sent an eunuch named Fang to try to reopen the Song County silver mine, but I blocked it many times. Now that I have lost the battle and lost the city, this generation will not tolerate me. Now that the world is in turmoil, Song County will not be able to be alone. If I leave, , you should train your troops and horses to guard against bandits, don’t slack off.”

"If the thieves are too powerful to resist, just say that you have surrendered to King Shun and the whole city. If King Shun comes to attack in person, you can just surrender, so that the people in the city will not suffer military disasters again!"

Wei Zhiyou, Fu Yuren and Liu Jiangyue looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. Could it be that their county magistrate has gone crazy because of his loss? Others looked at the thatched cottage three times, but you rejected them all. So as soon as the thief left, you taught us to surrender to him?

After coming here for a long time, they asked cautiously: "Mr. He, why did you say this? Could it be that since Mr. He was a loyal minister, we cannot be loyal ministers?"

The magistrate He Fu laughed at himself and said: "A little fame and fortune are nothing. Since ancient times, no one has had loyal ministers. If the world is really like what King Shun said, it would be enough for me to be a loyal minister in the Ming Dynasty. Why bother?" What about you and the gentry and common people of Song County?"

The three of them looked at each other speechlessly when they heard this. Only Wei Zhiyou almost spit out a mouthful of old blood: If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place? If I had directly surrendered to King Shun, I would still have five hundred elite men under my command. Now that I have become a polished general, you have relaxed your ambition!

Zhang Shun never imagined that something like this would happen in Song County after he led everyone away.

After struggling for several days, Zhang Shun was somewhat disappointed when he failed to persuade He Fu to surrender. Fortunately, this did not affect his IQ. The rebel army marched along the Yinshui River Valley toward Luoyang in the northeast. They did not walk for long when Zhang ordered the army to stop.

Then the army turned eastward and rushed all the way to the borders of Yiyang and Ruzhou. It turned out that Zhang Shun's march towards Luoyang was just a false shot, but his intention was Songshan.

After Chen Jindou and others arrived in Song County, Zhang asked everyone about the plans for the Eastern Expedition.

Then Chen Jindou said, "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings." He quickly stood up and said: "If you don't return to your hometown if you are rich and noble, you will walk at night like a brocade. Now that my lord has become prosperous, why not go east to Chenzhou to be proud of your old friend?"

Zhang Shun bowed his hands after hearing this and said: "Chenzhou is located on a plain and there is no dangerous situation. If it is just for the sake of showing off one's strength, it puts the army in danger, I won't take it!"

When Chen Jindou saw Zhang Shun's refusal, Chen Jindou rolled his eyes and thought about it, and quickly suggested: "If it is dangerous, the Dongmen Mountains and Song Mountains are not as high as the Xiong'er and Funiu Mountains. What does your lord have in mind? Old Li and I Everyone is born and raised here and can be a guide."

Zhang Shun's heart moved when he heard this. Seeing that the others had no objections, he agreed.

Yiyang County, later Ruyang County, is ninety miles away from Song County. Yiyang County has already been conquered by "Chuang King" and "Chuang General" and others, and its defense is sparse. Zhang Shun doubled the road and captured it that night.

The rebels rested for one night, and on the next day they swaggered down the Ru River and entered Ruzhou. There is a Ruzhou Guard in Ruzhou, but its armament has long been depleted and cannot be used.

When he heard that the rebels were coming, he could only hide in Ruzhou City and tremble, praying that the rebels would not come to attack the city.

Zhang Shun didn't want to get into too much entanglement with the officers and soldiers, so he walked around the city and headed for Mount Ershan in the northeast of Ruzhou.

Yishan Mountain, also known as Jishan Mountain, is located between Yuzhou City, Dengfeng City, Yiyang County, Ruzhou and Jiaxian County in Henan Province.

Songshan Mountain in the north, Xiong'er Mountain in the west, Waifangshan Mountain in the southwest, and Funiu Mountain in the south all belong to the remnants of the Qinling Mountains. These mountains extend from the west to the east of the Luoyang Basin and are connected together.

This mountain is located just south of Dengfeng, isolating Ru River and Ying River from the north to the south. Fortunately, Chen Jindou and Li Jiyu were from nearby areas and were quite familiar with geography.

They already knew that this place was connected to the Erban Pass, so they guided Zhang Shun and his army to come here.

The Central Plains has been at peace for a long time, and this place has never suffered military disasters, so there is no defense at all. The rebels easily climbed over Mount Laoshan, crossed the Erban Pass, invaded Dengfeng County, and easily occupied Dengfeng County.

After Dengfeng fell, Zhang Shun sent the "King of Chaos" and "King of Governance" to occupy Shenyuan Pass and Erban Pass respectively to prevent officers and soldiers from coming from the east and south to encircle and suppress them. At the same time, he stayed behind and Xiao Qinhu led the new army and surrendered the rebel army. Yu Dazhong's remaining troops and Tang Jiuzhou's remaining troops, a total of more than 2,000 people, stayed in Dengfeng.

Zhang Shun, Chen Jindou, and Li Jiyu led the cavalry down the Yingshui River and rushed all the way to Yuzhou.

When the governor of Yuzhou heard that the rebel army had arrived, he quickly summoned the city guards and archers Ding Zhuang to come and defend the city. But in such a hurry, where can we get it in time?

After being attacked by Zhang Shunyi, the governor of Yuzhou took advantage of the chaos and fled without knowing his whereabouts.

Zhang Shun ignored him and led Chen Jindou and Li Jiyu to Naren Mansion to meet his old friend Ren Chen.

If a person in Renchen is sitting at home, disaster will come from the sky. Suddenly I heard that thieves had broken into Yuzhou City. I was just about to pack my luggage and prepare to go to the countryside to avoid the military disaster. Who would have thought that before he could go out, he would be blocked in the house.

Ren Chen had no choice but to let his wife and concubines hide in the house, and ordered his servants to hold weapons before opening the door to welcome the thieves.

But he never expected that as soon as the door opened, three acquaintances walked in without hesitation.
