Chapter 612: Pointing to the River as an Oath

It is said that Zhang Shun teamed up with "Chuang General", "Living Cao Cao" and "Eight Kings" to kill "Chuang King" Gao Yingxiang and captured "Gao Ying". The "living Cao Cao" then tied up Gao Yigong, Gao Guiying, Huang Long and Liu Zhe and refused to enter the city to meet Zhang Shun again.

Zhang Shun knew in his heart that after what happened, the fragile trust between the rebels no longer existed.

It is a taboo for military strategists to be suspicious of superiors and subordinates. Instead of the two parties constraining each other here, it is better to let them go out and contribute to their own great cause.

After this short period of vigorous training, Liu Cheng and Chen Changzhen have completed the formation and training of the battalion. Together with the surrendered "Gao Camp", it is enough to replace the original four rebel groups.

Therefore, Zhang sent Zhang Shenyan to discuss the matter of bloodshed for an alliance. The three "general", "living Cao Cao" and "eight kings" also knew that King Shun was now strong and they were weak, so they could not refuse.

What's more, for them, who nominally recognized King Shun as their master, being able to form a blood alliance with Zhang Shun was also an act of raising their own status. How could the three of them not agree?

After some consultations, both parties agreed to lead more than ten people each to kill the white horse on the banks of the Luo River, take the blood and smear it on their lips, pointing to the Luo River and swearing:

"Today there are Shun King Zhang Shun, the leader of the Thirty-sixth Battalion of the Rebel Army, "Chuang Jiang" Li Hongji, the leader of the Rebel Battalion, Luo Rucai, the "Living Cao Cao" of the Rebel Cao Battalion, and Zhang Xianzhong, the "Eight Great Kings" of the Rebel Army's Present Camp. The four of them pointed at the Luo River and swore an oath."

"In order to comply with God's will, the Ming Dynasty was overthrown. We all agreed to recognize King Shun as the master, and we will assist him. We divided our troops into four groups, each according to his own ability. Among them, King Shun took the four provinces of Beijing, Beijing, and the north, and Chuangjiang took the south of Zhili. , Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian; 'Living Cao Cao' will take Huguang, Guangdong, and Guangxi; 'Eight Kings' will take Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. If there is any violation, the sky will strike with thunder, and humans and gods will be angry!"

After the oath was fulfilled, "Crash General" Li Hongji, "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai and "Eight Kings" Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

An alliance based on blood and an oath to Luo are almost the highest standards of ancient covenants. If none of this can restrain King Shun, then they can only sit back and wait for death!

Zhang Shun looked at them in amazement for a long time, and thought to himself: I have never heard of Li Hongji and Luo Rucai, but this "sixty-million-wonderful" thing is like thunder!

In particular, Zhang Xianzhong was even more familiar with Zhang Xianzhong's story about Zhang Xianzhong sinking silver. If he hadn't known that Zhang Xianzhong's shipwreck hadn't happened yet, he would have wanted to send someone to salvage it.

He is not familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and he still doesn't understand where the "Chuang King" Li Zicheng has gone. Perhaps due to the butterfly effect, the real "Creating King" Li Zicheng has disappeared from everyone, or maybe he is no longer in the corner!

Zhang Shun sighed and couldn't help but smile: "Since the three of you have decided on your plan, I won't force you to stay. I just don't know what the three of you have planned. If you tell me, I can help you with the details!"

"This" Li Hongji, Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong looked at me and I looked at you, speechless for a long time.

"What's wrong? Does it need to be kept secret?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but asked in surprise.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Luo Rucai waved his hands quickly, "I'm afraid of being laughed at by King Shun if I say it. In fact, the three of us haven't decided where to go yet."

Zhang Shun smiled slightly and said: "In that case, I have a little suggestion. I don't know what everyone's intention is!"

"Now Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, is so powerful that Shaanxi cannot return. The three of them have few soldiers and food, so they cannot stay for a long time. In this case, why don't the three of them march eastward, cut off the canal and water transportation, get the food from the canal, eat it, and gather the heroes of the world , and stand facing south."

"The rich people in the south of the Yangtze River are weak and the soldiers are weak, and they cannot resist. By then, all the provinces in the south, Beijing, and Jiujiu will be captured by three people!"

Li Hongji, Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong were shocked and confused after hearing this. It wasn't that Zhang Shun's suggestion was unreliable, but that it was too reliable. Even if they tried hard, they couldn't figure out the trap.

First, go east out of Songshan Mountain, cut off the canal from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, and seize its grain as a foundation. There was no need for Zhang Shunjiao to coerce the local people and cross the river to the south. Following the wisdom of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, he actually looked up the Yangtze River and looked at the north.

If Zhang Shun hadn't been the leader of the 36th Battalion of the Rebel Army, they would have almost thought that this guy was their own Zhuge Liang.

The old man's life was difficult and information was limited, so most people were quite sensitive to the details. In his previous life, Zhang Shun was a modern person with advanced information and a clearer understanding of the big picture.

Comparing the two sides, Zhang Shun's thinking directly carried out a dimensionality reduction attack on them. The three of them bowed awkwardly to Zhang Shun, then stepped aside, muttering for a long time, but they didn't understand what Zhang Shun was going to do.

"Eight Kings" Zhang Xianzhong was impatient to guess and said angrily: "This guy is not a good person. I don't care what his schemes are, but if you go against him, he will definitely make everything in vain!"

"Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "In that case, King Shun eats vegetables and meat every day, 'Eight Great Kings', do you want to eat shit instead?"

"Eight Kings" Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but became furious after hearing this, and was about to step forward and beat Luo Rucai. "Admiral" Li Hongji quickly reached out to hold him, and said expressionlessly: "You two, stop arguing, or you will make others laugh."

Only then did Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai remember that Zhang Shun was in front of them, and they immediately became silent. Then Li Hongji continued: "Our feet are growing on us. How can King Shun control where we want to go and where we go?"

"It's just that we are indeed short of food now. If we don't solve it as soon as possible, I'm afraid the soldiers will scatter and flee. Since we know that there is food transported by canal, why bother about who raised this matter? Even if we do the opposite, When we are hungry, how can we know that we have not fallen into King Shun's trap?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai realized that this was indeed the case. If you don’t understand it, you might as well not think about it at all.

In the past, when they followed "Chuang King" Gao Yingxiang, they would use a hammer in one place and a stick in the other. They had no idea what a plan was.

Now that Zhang Shun clearly told him to "put an elephant in the refrigerator in three steps," they suddenly realized that it was much better than them running around like headless flies anyway.

Thinking of this, these three people are also heroes, and they couldn't help but hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye to Zhang Shun: "We have decided to follow King Shun's suggestion to march eastward and seize the grain and grass transported by water to use as military food. The green mountains will not change, but they will remain green. The water flows forever, King Shun cherishes it, see you again if we are destined!"

Li Hongji, Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong left. At this time, Zhang Shenyan and Lu Weiqi couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "My lord (general), people often say: It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. These three people are He is a powerful hero in the world, how can the Lord grant this 'Dragon Slaying Technique' to others?
