Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 515 Against all odds

It is said that after Zhang Shun got the news that Wei Congyi's staff Mabu had defected to the enemy, his scalp suddenly went numb.

Since Wei Congyi failed to stand on his own initiative and returned to Zhang Shun's command, Zhang Shun was doubtful about this person.

Originally, he changed his owner several times, but Zhang Shun didn't mind very much. "The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king. If they don't agree, they will leave." As long as it does not harm the old master, it is nothing.

Only this time, Wei Congyi's self-reliance went over the line. Half of the two hundred cavalry under his command were soldiers given to him by Zhang Shun, not to mention the horses were also given to him by Zhang Shun.

This person's behavior is like taking away the money that the original boss asked him to handle business, and secretly setting up a new company on his own. This is a major sign of poor professional ethics.

Therefore, Zhang Shun had only sent him to Lushi County to monitor large households in the city and Baizhi County.

Wei Congyi was honest for a while and didn't cause any trouble. Now is the time to employ people. Zhang Shun was originally going to give him some more tasks to do depending on the situation, but he didn't expect that something like this would happen.

Not to mention whether this linen was for the purpose of connecting with Wei Congyi, or whether it was on his own initiative. That sackcloth had been among the rebels for a long time. Even if he didn't come into contact with the core secrets, he could at least know the location of Baodu Village.

Compared to Luoyang City, which is at the center of the whirlpool, Baodu Village is where Zhang Shun's foundation lies.

These two roots are basically one light and one dark, one yin and one yang. They could have complemented each other and transformed into each other. Now if it is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but look solemn, and said decisively: "Can Daliang still return?"

Seeing Zhang Shun's serious expression, Li Daliang knew that something big was going on, so he quickly responded: "As long as there is a horse to carry me, I can go even a thousand miles away, not to mention three or four hundred miles away."

Zhang Shun saw that Li Daliang was indeed fine, so he ordered: "I order you to return to the stronghold immediately and notify Li Sanniang and Chen Changzhen to guard Baodu Stronghold."

"If officers and soldiers come to attack and are defended to death by me, I will personally lead the army and they will arrive within four days! At that time, we will attack from both sides and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. If the officers and soldiers still go down the Luoshui River, I will lead the army to stop them. In front of it, Chen Changzhen led all the men and horses in the mountain stronghold to attack behind him, and we must work hard to annihilate all the enemy forces!"

"This" Li Daliang couldn't help being frightened by Zhang Shun's bold idea, and asked after a while, "Now that the officers and soldiers are unclear about the enemy's situation, how can the general move lightly?"

"This matter is beyond your knowledge. You just have to act according to the orders. Wukong, send someone to get him a day of dry food and replace it with three horses for Daliang to drive!"

Hearing this, Li Daliang had no choice but to clasp his fists and say: "General, take care, Daliang is leaving. I will make a general order to inform Madam Li and General Chen in time!"

Li Daliang turned around and was about to leave. Zhang Shun suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted: "Passing by Song County, I also informed Liu Cheng to be ready to leave at any time and stay in Song County to wait for military orders. Tell my sworn brother, you won't arrive there." As a last resort, Song County soldiers and horses must not be moved lightly!"

"Yes!" Li Daliang knew that he could no longer get involved in this matter. He raised his fist, turned around and left.

Zhang Shun then shouted loudly: "Wukong, send someone quickly to invite Madam Hong and Duke Zhang!"

After coming for a while, Lady Hong and Zhang Shenyan rushed over panting and were shocked to hear the reason.

Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing and recounted the news from Li Daliang in detail. Then he said: "I intend to use all the best soldiers of the rebel army to go up the Luoshui River and conquer the likes of Ni Chong and Wang Pu in the capital camp!"

Although the red lady and Zhang Shenyan were still in shock, they still hurriedly objected: "Luoyang is the richest in the world, with a high city and deep pools. There is an abundance of gold, silver, money and food, and it lives in the world. It is the industry of an emperor. How can my lord abandon it lightly and choose Baoduzhai?"

In the past, Zhang Shun had no choice but to take risks. Although the two of them wanted to oppose it, they were powerless. Now that things have not reached the point where we have to take risks, how can we do this?

Zhang Shenyan, in particular, hurriedly advised: "Now the lives of all the rebels are tied to the Lord. If anything happens, Yuan Shao will be a warning to others. This is one of them. Now the enemy's situation is unclear, he doesn't know where he is going, and he doesn't know what he wants. This is a taboo among military strategists, and this is the second one."

"Now that the defense of Luoyang City has been repaired, the city has been solidified, there are thousands of stones of rice in the city to eat, and there are elite soldiers outside the city to rely on. Our army only needs to hold on for a few months, and the officers and soldiers will be defeated without fighting. This is the third reason."

"Now the rebel army is rising in Shaanxi, and they have been entangled with the officers and soldiers for several months without deciding the outcome. Our army can sit back and watch the success or failure, and accumulate strength. This is the fourth step."

"The Art of War says: There is no choice in the route, no attack on the army, no attack on the city, no contest on the territory. This is the method of using war. Why should my lord abandon the method of victory and adopt a dangerous strategy?"

What Zhang Shenyan said was reasonable, but Zhang Shun pondered for a moment and still said to them: "Soldiers are more important than others. Now the situation of the officers and soldiers is better than mine. The reason why I was able to occupy Luoyang is because I It's just that you can 'take advantage of them when they are not prepared and catch them by surprise'."

"Now, according to the bits and pieces of news I heard, I know that Hou Jin's troops have retreated in Xuanda. Then the imperial court will definitely free up its hands to deal with us. Compared with the officers and soldiers, our money, food, troops and horses are undoubtedly If a beggar competes with the Dragon King for treasures, he will be defeated if he doesn't fight."

"I have been thinking about it for a long time recently. I feel that if we want to win, we cannot care about the gains and losses of one city or one pool. We must win first and win quickly."

"The so-called quick victory means that those who pursue it cannot catch up. The rest of the rebel armies follow this method. The so-called first victory is based on a small amount of knowledge, and later generations will take advantage of the previous ones."

"Ever since I defeated the commander-in-chief Cao Wenzhao, I have been worried day and night, fearing that the army of officers and soldiers would attack. Now that I finally heard that the officers and soldiers were coming, the stone in my heart began to fall."

"Since we know that the Beijing camp is coming, we should know that there are also other elites advancing at the same time. I know the method of fighting, so I just have to attack together. Several armies came towards the same direction, agreed on a time and place, and marched together in order to achieve the goal. A combined blow.”

"The way to crack it is very easy. A thousand words can't be more than 'You come in any way, I will only go all the way'."

"I have made up my mind. If the officers and soldiers attack Baodu Village, Chen Changzhen and others will be the regular soldiers, and I will be the surprise soldier. If the officers and soldiers wait for an opportunity to go down the river to attack Luoyang, then I will be the regular soldiers and Chen Changzhu will be the surprise soldier."

"Now Zhang Sanbai's one thousand 'hair gourds' and Wei Zhiyou's five hundred 'hair gourds' have been trained. It's just a pity that the one thousand 'hair gourds' lack armor defense. Cao Wenzhao has seven hundred people under his command, as servants. As a backbone, you can use it even if you have to."

"In addition to the 2,100 soldiers under Xiao Qinhu's command, the 1,000 cavalry under He Jin and He Yilong's command, and my personal guards, the total is 5,400 people, and we will march west together."

"The remaining two thousand 'Mao Gourds' who have not completed their training are entrusted to Duke Zhang. I am going to transfer Zhao Lizi to assist you and lead one hundred personal guards under my command to suppress those who act inappropriately. That Governor Zhang, Gao Yizhi and Han Lin They are all great talents, so they can participate in city defense to test their skills!"

Zhang Shenyan and Lady Hong couldn't help but look at each other. After a long while, the red lady burst into tears.

She wiped it with her hands a few times, and the more she wiped it, the more tears she shed, and she started sobbing directly. While crying, the red lady pointed at Zhang Shun and cursed: "You have no conscience! I will follow you and work for you, working hard without complaint, inside and outside the camp, what can I do wrong?"

"Even in order to strengthen the soldiers' determination to defend Luoyang City, I brought Li Xiang and the others here specifically to show their determination to die. Now that you have behaved like this, how can we, big and small, old and young, and a Aren't all the cities together worth as much as one Li Sanniang?"

He will attack his ambition with courage and his emotions with wisdom. Zhang Shun never expected that the red lady, who had always been dignified and generous, would suddenly act like this.

For a moment, he couldn't help but look stunned and at a loss. He quickly took out his handkerchief and shouted, "Good boy, don't cry!" while wiping the red lady's tears.

In the end, I never thought that it would be better if I didn't wipe it, so I wiped it randomly three or five times, and the handkerchief was snatched away by the red lady.

Before Zhang Shun could react, the red lady with tears streaming down her face shook the thing in her hand and asked, "What kind of naughty thing is this? Why does it smell so good!"
