Please ask me to be the emperor

It turned out that Mengjin was only thirty-five miles away from Luoyang City. Even though Zhao Yutou was old and frail, he rushed to the rebel camp that night.

Zhang Shungang told about the attack and defense of the rebel army and the officers and soldiers, then Zhao Yutou couldn't help shouting and asked: "Has the Lord sent people to investigate and garrison at other ferries?"

Zhang Shun couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, and asked quickly: "Isn't there only Mengjin Ferry in Mengjin? Are there any other places to cross the river?"

When Zhao Yutou heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "I was careless and forgot to tell my lord that there is more than one ferry in Mengjin!"

"From ancient times to the present, the rivers here have been gentle, and there are no less than ten ferries. Although most of them are unusable due to river siltation, there is a ferry more than ten miles northwest from here called: Baihe Ferry, which is still usable."

"If what I predict is correct, the officers and soldiers will sneak across the Yellow River from here at night and attack at dawn!"

Zhang Shun heard this and shouted quickly: "Wukong listens to the order and quickly calls Xiao Qinhu, Liu Cheng, He Jin and He Yilong, the "King of Ruler of the World" and the "King of Chaos" to come!"

When the generals arrived in a hurry, Zhang Shun stopped talking and ordered directly: "Liu Cheng, He Jin, and He Yilong listened to the order, quickly gathered troops and horses, and followed me to Baihe Ferry overnight!"

Just after the order was given, Zhang Shun thought that He Yilong had not recovered from his injury yesterday afternoon, so he quickly added: "He Yilong will stay here to recuperate for the time being, and your cavalry will be handed over to my leadership for the time being!"

Seeing Zhang Shun's solemn expression, Liu Cheng, He Jin and He Yilong quickly responded and went to rectify their troops.

At this time, Zhang Shun ordered Xiao Qinhu again: "The rest of the infantry listen to my orders and quickly bury the pots to make rice and reorganize the team. Xiao Qinhu is the main general here, and the 'king of troubled times' and 'king of governing times' will assist him." ! All matters in the camp, whether offensive or defensive, are decided after discussing with Mr. Zhao Yutou!"

After Zhang Shun gave the order, he was about to dress up and lead the army in person. Suddenly a boy grabbed him. Zhang Shun turned around and saw that it was Zhao Lizi.

Then Zhao Lizi said to Zhang Shun: "My lord, what order do you have for me? All the generals have to lead the troops, but I have to be free!"

After hearing this, Zhang Shun turned to look at Zhao Yutou and saw that he had no reaction. He said this time: "In that case, you should dress up and go out with me! Then He Yilong's cavalry happens to be ownerless, so you can help me lead them for the time being!"

After receiving the order, Zhao Lizi hurriedly went to get ready. Zhang Shun then said to Zhao Yutou: "The old man has no other relatives at home, why didn't he stop us just now?"

Zhao Yutou then smiled bitterly and said: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You can't help your children and grandchildren when they grow up! I, a bad old man, can pull him up and make him grow up. I have done enough. Now my children and grandchildren have grown up. , how can I control him?"

"What's more, even the old sparrow knows that the little sparrow has grown up, so he has to drive it to learn to fly! Now that the carp has grown up, how can I restrain him from being with a bad old man like me?"

Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans! Zhang Shun suddenly remembered this sentence he learned in the textbook of his previous life, bowed to Zhao Yutou, and turned around.

In order to rush on the road, Zhang Shun did not care about exposing his whereabouts, and quickly ordered his soldiers to light torches and galloped all the way to Baihe Ferry.

When Zhang Shun arrived at Baihe Ferry, he saw that the officers and soldiers on the river bank were already in full formation.

Zhang Shun led Wukong, Zhao Lizi and some of the cavalry to gallop back and forth. After checking for a long time, he determined that the number of officers and soldiers crossing the river was only seven or eight hundred. Although the army was in good order, it lacked cavalry, which made Zhang Shun feel at ease.

So he went out of the formation and shouted: "Who is the chief military officer who is leading the troops in front of you? Zhang Shun has been waiting for you for a long time, why is it too late?"

Zhang Quanchang was afraid of losing morale, so he quickly stood up and responded: "I am Zhang Quanchang, the commander-in-chief. Why do you need to bully me with such big words! I see you are out of breath. You came here in a hurry. What can you do to our army?"

Zhang Quanchang is also a veteran general. Although he is not as good at fighting as Cao Wenzhao, his general common sense is still clear.

In this era, many people suffer from "blindness". Once it gets dark, they cannot see their fingers. Therefore, night battles are dangerous, either due to a surprise attack by one party, or because no one wants to have a field battle unless they have to.

In fact, Zhang Shun had no choice. Could he still sit back and watch the officers and soldiers cross the river and set up camp here at night?

Fortunately, the meat intake of the soldiers under Zhang Shun was not bad, and there were relatively few soldiers suffering from night blindness.

When they were in Shunwangping, they had white fish caught from Shengwangping to supplement vitamin A; after the rebels moved to Lushi Baodu Village, because of the high mountains and deep forests, they could also shoot some game in their spare time to improve their food. .

We rarely see meat all year round, so we can hunt some wild game easily, so how can we give up our livers?

What's more, after Li Xiang married Zhang Shun, she clearly told him that "the liver of cattle, sheep and game can cure 'bird blindness'".

Zhang Shun specifically ordered the soldiers to keep the animal livers and eat them with those suffering from "bird blindness", which actually cured many people.

Zhang Quanchang also knew that Zhang Shun had no intention of retreating, so he quickly ordered the officers and soldiers to form a semicircle formation along the river. There were muskets and artillery on the outside, and spears and axes on the inside, waiting for the rebel cavalry to attack.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but frowned. Sun Tzu's Art of War said: "Don't attack a dignified enemy without a banner that invites righteousness! It's because you're worried about causing too much damage to your troops.

But now that things have happened unexpectedly, there is no need to worry about choosing the lesser of two evils and the greater of two benefits.

Zhang Shun was about to give the order, but Liu Cheng saw Zhang Shun's hesitation and admonished him: "Such officers and soldiers are easy to deal with. You only need to send a small number of cavalry to make a false attack, draw out the officers and soldiers' cannons, and then attack them with a single blow." And it’s broken!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shun thought this was a good idea. Hearing this, Zhao Lizi quickly asked for a fight: "My lord, I am willing to lead twenty cavalry to trick the officers and soldiers into using guns and artillery!"

Zhang Shun hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He promised a reward of two taels of silver and asked Zhao Lizi to personally select twenty men who dared to die and went to harass them.

Sure enough, when Zhao Lizi and other men who dared to die, wearing double Kai, galloped in front of the officers and soldiers, Zhang Quanchang could not sit still.

The rebel cavalry does not seem to be many. If they sit idly by and are wounded by the cavalry, which will damage the morale of the soldiers, it is easy for them to take advantage of them and disrupt the formation!

If some soldiers are ordered to open fire, under the pressure of the rebels, it is inevitable that many people will panic and fire indiscriminately, losing the deterrence of cannons and artillery.

As the defender, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Quanchang could only choose one of the two. Either you believe that the soldiers under your command will remain motionless and ignore them; or you believe that the soldiers under your command will do what they are ordered to do, and no one except those who receive the order will shoot indiscriminately.

Chief Military Officer Zhang Quanchang could not believe these two items. In desperation, he had no choice but to tentatively order a group of gunmen to shoot against Zhao Lizi and others who were showing off their power and harassing them.
