Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 481 Confrontation across the river

Not to mention Cao Bianjiao was a little confused, even Liu Cheng and Jicheng under Zhang Shun were a little confused. I am used to being called "thieves and bandits", and suddenly I am a "loyal to the emperor and patriotic" person, which is a bit uncomfortable.

Cao Bianjiao was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he muttered to himself: "Are you serious? I am just a martial artist. I don't know about the dispute between descendants and concubines. I just do what my uncle does!"

"Are you an unweaned child? You have to listen to your uncle in everything!" Zhang Shun chuckled, "In that case, I will convince you."

"Please let these soldiers put down their weapons. I promise not to kill them for the time being. I will break up with you after I defeat your uncle Cao Wenzhao's army!"

Cao Bianjiao wanted to argue, but he didn't know where to start. He just thought to himself: "Thieves, don't be so arrogant. Sooner or later, you will realize how powerful my uncle Cao Wenzhao is!"

Afterwards, Wukong took Cao Bianjiao to the battlefield again. Cao Bianjiao looked at the officers and soldiers surrounded by the rebels. Although they were still resisting, they were no different from pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect? No matter how ferocious Cao Bianjiao was on the battlefield, he regarded human life as nothing, after all, they were just irrelevant strangers.

But these servants under his command are different. Under Cao Wenzhao's generous care, most of them were no different from their own servants in the Cao family.

Some people even taught him martial arts, and many people had to respectfully call him "uncle" when they met him.

After getting along day and night, love grows over time. Cao Bianjiao had some feelings for them, so how could he watch them being killed by the rebels in front of him?

Originally, according to Cao Bianjiao's idea, a person who dies in battle is a person who dies in battle. Just burn an extra piece of paper during the Qingming Festival.

But now that there is a chance to live, who would want to die? What's more, Cao Bianjiao had also heard about King Shun's reputation, and he was not a person who went back on his word.

I don't know what loyalty to the emperor is, but if this person closes his heart, he will definitely not take the opportunity to kill these people.

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Bianjiao mustered up his courage and shouted loudly: "King Shun and I have made an agreement that whoever surrenders will avoid death. Please put down your weapons and stop resisting!"

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you, thinking: "The army has always been called the 'big and small cao'. How can this person be so cowardly now? Could it be that he is young and has been deceived?"

So, someone stood up and shouted loudly: "General Xiao Cao, don't let the thieves deceive you! We have swords and guns in our hands, and we can still resist. If we are unarmed, we will be slaughtered by others!"

Cao Bianjiao was furious when he heard this. He also said that he was brave and fearless in charging into battle and had always had prestige in the army.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that everyone had obeyed orders before, just to save some face for their uncle Cao Wenzhao.

At this thought, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but blush, and refuted loudly: "Everyone has heard of the reputation of King Shun. Some of you are my brothers in terms of age, and some are my uncles in terms of seniority. I, Cao Bianjiao, am my brother." Everyone looks so good, can I still deceive everyone?"

Only then did everyone abandon their weapons and surrender. Zhang Shun kept his promise and just tied up these people without any attempt to kill them.

Later, Xiao Qinhu led 2,100 infantrymen and arrived late, but Zhang Shun did not blame him. The infantry were already walking slowly. It was more than 30 miles from Luoyang to be unable to catch up with this battle. It was normal.

At the same time, Cao Wenzhao on the other side of the river also led his army to the north bank of the Yellow River, and the two sides faced each other across the river.

The river is wide, so even if both sides shout loudly, they can't be heard carefully. Looking from a distance, I can only see the opponent's flag waving, and I don't know how many people are coming.

At this time, after a fierce battle for half a day, it was getting late. Zhang Shun quickly ordered his soldiers to control nearby boats and boats, and at the same time ordered his soldiers to set up camp along the river.

After the placement was completed, a nurse who looked like a butcher helped a person into Zhang Shun's camp.

Zhang Shun raised his head and looked at him, he saw He Yilong with "grey eyes". It turns out that when He Yilong was stabbed off his horse by Cao Wenzhao, he missed his vital part and only injured his abdomen.

Fortunately, military generals generally have a "belly hold" on their abdomen, which is made of fabric and is placed in a semicircle to protect the general's abdomen, forming the shape of the general's belly.

After He Yilong was buffered by this, he only hurt his belly, not his intestines and lungs. After greeting him, Zhang Shun asked him to sit down, and then said angrily: "In the past, I told you not to put yourself in danger, but you didn't listen!"

"You relied on force to fight bravely, but now you have suffered a loss, right? Astride a horse and hold a gun, galloping back and forth, this is the courage of an ordinary man! In the past, I earnestly advised you to learn the art of war, but you didn't listen, and that's how you are today."

"Look at Liu Cheng. He went straight to the main camp of the officers and soldiers and killed Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi. His reputation was famous all over the world. How majestic it was? Now he is studying the art of war with Zhang Shenyan and Duke Zhang, and he can quote the classics!"

"Yes, yes, my lord taught me a lesson!" He Yilong, the "grey-eyed" man, responded quickly, "I am a rough guy, and flattering will only be straightforward and annoying. I can't compare to Liu Cheng, who can quote all the classics and take pictures with ease! "

"Get out of here!" Zhang Shun was furious. In the past, military orders were transmitted very slowly, but this matter was transmitted very quickly!

By the next day, the rebels had collected twenty or thirty ships. Zhang Shun sent someone to call Mengjin's boatmen and said to them: "I wonder if you all remember me, Zhang Wenyuan, when Mengjin flooded, I saved everyone. Now I am fighting against the thieves here, so please give me a helping hand!" "

As a result, these people looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, but they said nothing.

Zhang Shun had no choice but to find a familiar old man and greet him: "How are you, old man! Do you still remember Zhang Wenyuan? When the flood first broke out, we hid in Guangwu Mausoleum, and I even fed you a bowl myself." Rice porridge saved the old man’s life!”

Seeing that he could no longer escape, the old man knelt down and kowtowed: "General, please calm down. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials. I heard that Cao Wenzhao was very cruel and killed people like hemp. If we can help the general, , I’m afraid the lives of the whole family will not be saved!”

"If the general is still angry, it is better to kill the little old man to vent his anger. As the old saying goes: Seventy years are rare in life, and I am already seventy-one this year. I have lived enough, and death is not a pity. How can I hurt my children and grandchildren?"

Zhang Shun quickly comforted him and said: "The old man is too worried. Even if everyone doesn't help me, how can I harm our fellow villagers?"

After Zhang Shun sent them out, his face darkened and he thought to himself: I miscalculated, I have to ask Zhao Yutou and Zhao Lizi to help me quickly. Otherwise, the people of Mengjin cannot be mobilized to help me.

There are many places that can be crossed on both sides of the Yellow River. How can it be perfect if we rely solely on scouts and soldiers to warn them?
