Please ask me to be the emperor

Many years later, Zhang Sanbai brought up the old story again. He couldn't help but asked Hong Chengchou a little strangely: "When you were surrounded by the rebels, why didn't you turn to Li Mou, but instead turned to me, and achieved my great achievements?"

Hong Chengchou looked like he had everything under control and said with a smile: "That day when Li Mou personally shot and killed the boy wearing my scarlet robe, he must have had a grudge against me and wanted to kill me and then kill me; and although you repeatedly He even refused to shoot an arrow at my crimson-robed young man, who must be trying to capture me alive. Since Hong was desperate, of course he chose the right one and gave up on Li."

When Zhang Sanbai heard this, he was so stunned that he didn't spit out blood. He said with a bit of embarrassment, "Thanks to Mr. Hong for being alert, otherwise we wouldn't be here today!"

It's just that Zhang Sanbai didn't have the nerve to tell Hong Chengchou that he had also taken out his heart with an arrow that day, but his arrow skills were not good enough and he missed none, which led to this misunderstanding.

Let's not talk about the aftermath, but let's talk about the battle between the rebels and the officers and soldiers outside Luoyang City. After Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, withdrew, Chai Shihua and He Jin, the newly surrendered rebels, took the opportunity to occupy the Chinese army's tent.

At this time, Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief Zuo Guangxian, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Ai Wannian and Staff General Bai Guangen were still fighting with the rebels and had no time to check the situation behind them. For a while, they did not know that the commander-in-chief Hong Chengchou had fled.

With the help of the cover of the camp, they fought hard with the rebels, and the outcome was temporarily indeterminate.

He Jin looked at it from a distance and was about to find an ax to chop down the large banner of the Chinese army, disrupting the command system of the officers and soldiers and shaking the morale of the officers and soldiers.

Unexpectedly, Chai Shihua, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province, saw this and quickly stretched out his hand to stop him with a smile.

"King Zuo Jin" He Jin raised his brows and was about to get angry when Chai Shihua said, "General He, don't be angry. Chai has a little plan to keep these officers and soldiers defeated without fighting!"

"Oh?" He Jin didn't believe it and asked, "What are your plans?"

"This plan is quite simple. Since the officers and soldiers did not realize that the Chinese army had collapsed, why don't we pretend to be Hong Chengchou's fellow and issue orders to disrupt the formation of the officers and soldiers?" Chai Shihua gestured to the Chinese army's banner erected there with a knowing look.

He Jin was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but be overjoyed. He held up his hands and said with a smile: "But you forgot that you happen to know the military orders of the officers and soldiers, so you can send someone to handle this matter!"

After receiving the order, Chai Shihua quickly sent people to climb up to a high place to wave the flag and asked He Jin for credit: "In this case, I have to trouble General He to turn around and say a few nice words to King Shun for me and ask for credit for me! "

"Easy to say, easy to say!" He Jin responded, while doubts arose in his heart. This thief bird boy seems to have some brains, how can he surrender the rebels so easily? King Shun still needs to be reminded about this matter.

Not long after, various flags of various colors started waving near the military headquarters of the officers and soldiers. The messengers in each battalion quickly conveyed the flags to the generals of each battalion.

General Bai Guangen was ordered to retreat temporarily, deputy commander Ai Wannian was ordered to launch a counterattack, and commander Zuo Guangxian was ordered to stand by.

At this time, Bai Guangen was standing in the trench with He Renlong and Xiao Qinhu, and they were fighting fiercely. It turned out that He Renlong only led 500 elite men. After the raid on the officers and soldiers camp, Zhang incidentally sent Xiao Qinhu's Tiger Battalion over to assist He Renlong.

The Tiger Battalion was very elite, and Bai Guangen fought very hard. Therefore, when he received the order, he didn't have time to think about it carefully and said that Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, should have some backup plans to deal with the "thieves".

So, he took advantage of the opportunity to temporarily repel He Renlong and quickly led his soldiers to retreat slowly backwards.

Seeing this, Xiao Qinhu and He Renlong took the opportunity to build a simple wooden bridge, crossed the ditch in front of them, and headed towards the general Bai Guangen.

Bai Guangen had some doubts in his heart, but fortunately he also knew that if he retreated under the pursuit of the thieves, his troops would collapse in an instant. He quickly ordered his soldiers to hold off the rebels for the time being, while anxiously looking back at the flags near the Chinese army's banner, waiting for the commander Hong Chengchou to use all his subsequent moves to wipe out "Crazy He".

At this time, the deputy commander-in-chief Ai Wannian was condescendingly fighting for the camp with Cao Wenzhao's Wenzhao camp. After the messenger came to the "Chinese Army" order, Ai Wannian was a little confused and said: "Didn't Governor Hong say that if he could hold the fortress, it would be considered a great victory? How to change the order day and night, and have another idea? Could it be Governor Hong? Seeing that Cao Wen ordered his troops to be few, do you realize there is an opportunity to take advantage of?"

It turned out that the deputy general Ai Wannian had 5,500 troops under his command, almost twice as many as Cao Wenzhao. He had previously used his camp to fight against Cao Wenzhao and repelled the fierce attacks of Wenzhao's camp many times.

When Ai Wannian saw that Cao Wenzhao couldn't do anything to him, he couldn't help but feel a bit contemptuous. What's more, now that the commander-in-chief Hong Chengchou has orders and military orders are like mountains, how can Ai Wannian dare to disobey them so easily? He took advantage of the temporary retreat of Cao Wen's imperial troops and opened the city gate. First use light cavalry to make a surprise attack, and then use heavy troops to suppress the formation.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were timid and did not dare to leave the city, Cao Wenzhao became careless for a while. They were followed by officers and soldiers on cavalry, immediately disrupting the formation.

When Ai Wannian saw that this strategy worked, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly mobilized all the troops in the camp and went out to pursue Cao Wen's troops.

When Cao Wenzhao saw that something was not going well, he quickly ordered his nephew Cao Dingjiao to lead his 900 elite cavalry directly to where the deputy commander Ai Wannian was, while gathering his soldiers and retreating while fighting.

However, Cao Wenzhao was given the upper hand by Ai Wannian in the first place. Secondly, he only had half of Ai Wannian's troops and was still beaten back by the officers and soldiers.

However, as the deputy commander Ai Wannian advanced and retreated, he widened the distance from the officers and soldiers Bai Guang'en and Zuo Guangxian, forming a protrusion that protruded beyond the officers and soldiers' barracks.

When Zhang Shun saw that Ai Wannian had made such a big mistake, how could he let him go? He quickly ordered Li Xin's Chaos Battalion and Gao Yigong's Gao Battalion to surround him on the left and right, surrounding Ai Wannian outside the officers and soldiers' camp.

It was only then that Deputy Commander Ai Wannian suddenly realized that he had fallen into Cao Wenzhao's trap.

And the Shaanxi commander-in-chief Zuo Guangxian sensed something was wrong when the deputy commander-in-chief Ai Wannian left the camp. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart: Although Hong Chengchou was not as good as King Shun, he would not behave so stupidly. Could it be that something happened to the Chinese army?

He quickly ordered his soldiers to guard the camp while checking the battlefield situation. And at this time, he unexpectedly discovered that Bai Guangen's department, which was originally on the left wing, had retreated a little at some point. Then, didn't the deputy commander Ai Wannian's department fall into the trap?

After thinking about this, when he looked back, he saw the rebels encircling Ai Wannian's troops on the left and right.

Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province, couldn't help but shouted "No!" and quickly ordered his soldiers to escape westward along the Jianhe River.
