Please ask me to be the emperor

The officers and soldiers fought again and were defeated, so they quickly gathered the soldiers and returned to the camp, never daring to go out to fight again.

The rebels took the opportunity to sweep the battlefield and capture the scattered soldiers. After the war, the loot was counted, and a total of 1,137 pairs of armors, 1,421 helmets, 213 blunderbuss were seized, as well as the remaining spears, bows and arrows, and various fire blunderbuss and artillery pieces. Countless people were captured, including 673 officers and soldiers.

The loss of officers and soldiers before and after was estimated to be around 1,677, and the rebel army returned with a great victory.

Wei Zhiyou and Cao Bianjiao were so excited to watch in the city that they couldn't help but say after picking up Zhang Shun: "Congratulations, lord (general)! Congratulations, lord (general), on your return with a great victory! It's just the next battle. I hope our brothers will be defeated soon." Send two people together! Otherwise, it won’t be enough to watch.”

Zhang Shun laughed and responded: "Don't worry. As a general, are you afraid that you won't be able to win the battle without it? After a while, everyone will pick and choose the captured armors and weapons, and select some usable ones for temporary use."

"I estimate that the officers and soldiers will not dare to go out for a day or two after this defeat. You just go to me to call for formation. Whenever the officers and soldiers are called out, I will give you a credit!"

Afterwards, the rebels killed pigs and sheep and held a celebration banquet in Yongning County.

At the banquet, Zhang Shun specially called Ren Jirong over, filled a bowl of wine for him, and said with a smile: "Good boy, that's amazing! My sworn brother Xiao Qinhu has truthfully reported your achievements to me. Not only are you... The first achievement of the 'Baby Camp' is also the first achievement of this battle!"

"Drink this cup! I have asked the master to record the merits for you, and the reward of silver will be sent to your hands tomorrow. When you have accumulated enough merits, I will ask you to come over from your sworn brother and follow me How about a while?"

Ren Jirong was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he had only been in the rebel army for a short time, he had already found out. Anyone who is promoted requires studying and training with Zhang Shun for a period of time.

Now that the master politely said that he wanted to go there, what did Ren Jirong mean? Why didn't Ren Jirong understand?

He quickly picked up the wine bowl, drank the wine, wiped his mouth, knelt down and shouted: "I am willing to die for the Lord!"

Zhang Shun laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said to everyone: "Rewards are rewarded for merit, punishments are punished for mistakes, and orders must be followed! As long as the soldiers use their lives, what's the point in the world?"

Seeing this, the other soldiers couldn't help but get a little jealous, and they quickly shouted: "I am willing to die in the service of my lord (general)!" For a time, the monarch and his ministers were in harmony, and the atmosphere was very lively, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

It wasn't until many of the generals were drunk that Xiao Qinhu sneaked up to Zhang Shun and whispered: "My lord, although this battle is won, it is not enough to boast about. The foundation of the officers and soldiers has not been damaged, and their strength is still there. We will abandon it." If you ignore Luoyang City and come here, you won’t be able to stay here for long, otherwise things will change!”

Zhang Shun opened his eyes when he heard this, and it was like lightning. How could he be drunk at all? He looked at Xiao Qinhu carefully and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that the second brother was so knowledgeable. It's just that the second brother always likes to hunt tigers and leopards. Don't you know the principle of keeping calm?"

"The strength of tigers and leopards is better than that of humans, their claws and teeth are better than humans, and their acuity is even better than humans. The reason why humans are better than humans is, firstly, wisdom, and secondly, external objects. Only by staying calm, can we check its traces, observe its patterns, and go deep into it. Use its acupuncture points to find the opportunity to win. If the opportunity to win does not appear, the arrow will not be fired!"

"Now the officers and soldiers see me as a tiger and leopard, and I am a hunter. I also see the officers and soldiers as a tiger and leopard, and I am a hunter. Who can hunt whom depends solely on means."

"Sun Tzu said: Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. As a general, if you don't know the battlefield, the time of the battle, and the opportunity, you can't win! Now our army has arrived first, and the battlefield, the time of the battle, and the opportunity are with me. How can I hurt people without hurting them? Not victorious?"

"When our army first arrived in Yongning, I had already sent a messenger to inform the eldest brother. When our army discovered the enemy's traces, two messengers were sent to follow the eldest brother. According to my plan, the eldest brother should send out the army early to cut off his return route. When the time comes, Whether to fight or not, whether to walk or not is up to me, not the enemy. This person can be captured in one fight!"

Seeing that Zhang Shuncheng was confident, Xiao Qinhu couldn't help but laughed awkwardly and said, "Brother Yu is worrying too much!"

Zhang Shun shook his head and said: "Brother, why should you be humble? There is no good way to use the army, you can only think hard and study hard. I see that my brother has made progress, but it is too late to be happy. How can I laugh at my brother?"

The rebels were overjoyed, but the officers and soldiers were naturally downcast. Wang Pu had a dark face and was determined to scold Ni Chong, but he was afraid that the two sides would be divided and the subsequent battle would be even harder to fight.

Ni Chong was actually angry in his heart, but his skills were inferior to others, so he had to hold back his anger. After coming here for a long time, Ni Chongcai awkwardly said to Wang Pu: "Although this battle is defeated, it is not harmful."

"It is unrealistic to expect us in the capital camp to defeat the thieves in one battle. In this case, why don't we stick to the camp and wait for a few days? But when the superintendent leads the army to arrive, our army will guard the front and the superintendent will attack behind. "

"When the time comes, the thief will have no chance of escaping. If he can be captured in one fight, wouldn't it be a great achievement! When the time comes, we won't dare to take credit and be arrogant. We can be the first to take credit with less talk."

Wang Pu couldn't help but understand the words after hearing this, and the same was true in his mind. Everyone knows the level of the capital, and it is indeed unrealistic to expect him to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

He nodded and sighed: "I underestimated the enemy before. These 'submissive thieves' really have some tricks up their sleeves. Let's let them be proud of themselves for a few days. It's such a pity that good people don't do good things, but they choose to become thieves." .Now that death is imminent, I still don’t know it!”

Ni Chong also nodded when he heard this and said in agreement: "Some people are born to be rebellious and there is nothing we can do about it. We have to reluctantly chop off their heads and exchange them for military achievements to support our families."

The messenger sent by Wang Pu to find Chen Qiyu, the governor of Henan, was supposed to go eastward through Yongning County to Sanxiangli, then go northward up the Lianchang River, a tributary of the Luoshui River, and pass through Yanling Pass to Shaanzhou. This journey only takes about one hundred and fifty miles.

And because the rebels blocked traffic, officers, soldiers and messengers were not allowed to pass. He had no choice but to go west up Luoshui River to Lushi County, then go north to Guolue Town to Lingbao, and then turn east to look for Governor Chen Qiyu in the direction of Shaanzhou and Mianchi.

But now the messenger not only has to cross mountains and ridges, but also has to walk more than 70 miles. In this way, Wang Pu's messenger traveled day and night, chasing all the way to Xia Shi Pass in Shaanzhou before catching up with Governor Chen Qiyu's army.

After Chen Qiyu received Wang Pu's letter, he was surprised at first, and then overjoyed. When his deputy commander-in-chief Yang Hualin and Liu Guozhen saw this, they quickly asked: "I wonder what the commander heard that made him so happy?"

Chen Qiyu, the governor of Henan, said with a smile: "You can't find anything after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get here. This thief will be destroyed today!"

"Just now, Wang Pu of the Beijing Camp came to report that he encountered the 'Shun Bandits' in Yongning County and was fighting fiercely with them. He hoped that I would lead the army to abandon Beikiao Road, take Yanling Pass and circle behind Yongning County, attack from both front and rear, and eliminate this beast in one fell swoop!"
