Please ask me to be the emperor

Ren Guangrong was covered in mud and returned to his residence in despair.

The brothers under his command were shocked when they saw this, and asked quickly: "Mr. Qian, what's wrong with you? Now is the time to use troops. Does the prefect still want to hold us accountable for the defeat?"

"No more pursuing it, the master is planning to let me command the city's defense!" The corners of Ren Guangrong's mouth turned up.

"Then...then what's wrong with you?"

"Ha..." Ren Guangrong didn't want to say anything anymore. Do he still have to describe his ugly behavior of begging for mercy to his brothers?

Although it is an agricultural society, news still spreads quickly within a small area.

Not long after, all the brothers under Ren Guangrong heard about his deeds, and they couldn't help but feel resentful.

Without waiting for the brothers to say anything, Ren Guangrong waved his hand and locked himself in the room no longer wanting to see anyone.

There was a knock on the door outside for a long time, and finally it became helplessly silent.

Ren Guangrong held his head in pain and began to cry.

When a man sheds tears, he doesn't shed them easily, but they are not sad yet.

What command to defend Nanyang? If you lose your own face, how can you still have the face to command others?

If the general has no power, the order will not work! I really live like a dog. It would be great if I were really a dog. Then I don’t have to worry about the whole family and I can bite whoever I want!

Crying, crying, Ren Guangrong suddenly heard another knock on the door.

"Get out!" He didn't dare to vent his anger on the prefect, didn't he still have a little temper?

"Brother, it's me!" A strange yet familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Jirong?" Ren Guangrong was shocked. He quickly wiped the tears on his face, opened the door and saw, who was it if it wasn't his brother Ren Jirong?

He quickly dragged him into the house and scolded him: "What are you doing here? Are your parents okay at home?"

"It's all good!" Ren Jirong responded proudly, "Thanks to the fact that I sent a lot of silver to my family. My father said he was going to save it to marry you a wife!"

"Huh?" Ren Guangrong was startled and asked subconsciously, "How many votes did you make?"

These mountain people "kill people for a living." In addition to working for businessmen, wealthy households, and government officials, their past livelihood was to rob and kill passers-by and plunder mines.

"It's considered a vote!" Of course Ren Jirong understood what his brother meant, "Now I am following King Shun and have made many contributions. Not only have I saved more than a hundred taels of silver, but I have also gained ten acres of good land for my family and friends. .”

"What?" Ren Guangrong couldn't help being shocked. His younger brother, who was still a child in his heart, actually became a bandit?

"King Shun is clear about rewards and punishments, and he loves and protects strong men. Although I am young, I have meritorious service and there is no danger of denying it."

"This time during King Shun's southern expedition, I took the initiative to volunteer and risked my life to sneak into the city. I just wanted to persuade my brother to join King Shun and share the wealth!"

It turned out that when Zhang Shun made up his mind to capture Nanyang, Xiao Qinhu's Tiger Camp was not among those accompanying him.

It was Ren Jirong who assured Zhang Shun that he could persuade his brother Ren Guangrong, who was stationed in Nanyang City, to defect to the rebel army, and he was able to convince Zhang Shun to lead them to the south.

Zhang Shun also changed his plan for him. While leading the main force out of Ruzhou, he met with Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, and Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, to fight against Yu Wan and Ye. At the same time, he ordered Xiao Qinhu to lead the Tiger Battalion to Lu's and across the vast Funiu Mountains. A surprise attack on Nanyang City.

If Fu Zonglong hadn't caught Zhang Shun off guard, the rebel army would have already mobilized the main force of Nanyang Mansion officers and soldiers, and Xiao Qinhu and others could take advantage of it and seize Nanyang City.

Then the two sides attacked from front to back and wiped out the enemy of Nanyang in one fell swoop.

During the execution of the plan, although there were many twists and turns, fortunately Zhang Shun finally took advantage of this opportunity.

Zhang Shun was delayed a lot by the intrigues with the officers and soldiers along the way, and Xiao Qinhu and Ren Jirong almost got lost in the deep mountains and forests.

Both sides were delayed for many days before finally arriving at Nanyang City.

Who would have thought that due to a strange combination of circumstances, the two sides would miraculously gather at the foot of Nanyang City.

At that time, Zhang Shun's sneak attack on Nanyang City failed. He seemed to set up camp calmly, but in fact, he had already sent his cavalry west to explore the Tiger Camp.

The scouts sent out by Zhang Shun happened to contact the Tiger Camp who had just arrived across the mountains. Ren Jirong volunteered to sneak into the city to persuade his brother.

After Ren Guangrong suffered such a big loss, he became much more cautious.

As soon as he heard what his brother said, the stone in his heart suddenly disappeared and he suddenly became enlightened.

Ren Guangrong asked quickly: "You have become a slave... and you have become a slave to King Shun. What will happen to your parents at home?"

"It's okay. The Lu family has long been King Shun's territory. Who dares to take revenge?" Ren Jirong said confidently.

As soon as he heard that his parents were safe and sound at home, Ren Guangrong put down Xin Lai and said seriously to his younger brother: "If you want me to surrender to King Shun, that's fine. It's just a general requirement that I have to deal with the enemies in the city with my own hands. No!"

"Don't say that there are ten enemies for you. I will help you on behalf of King Shun!" When Ren Jirong heard this, he couldn't help but said with great joy, "From now on, we brothers will do something great together!"

Ren Jirong was new to Nanyang City and didn't know about his brother's humiliation. He only thought it was a trivial matter.

"Okay!" How could Ren Guangrong not trust his brother?

He quickly called over his brothers who were waiting anxiously outside, and said angrily in a low voice: "A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated!"

"I am a glorious and honorable man. If it were not for the sake of my family, how could I bear the arrogance of these thieves?"

"Now that my brother is here, please invite me to King Shun's place to eat delicious food and drink spicy food. I must share it with you brothers!"

"My brother is so good-tempered. If you ask us, we should have rebelled against him a long time ago!" When the other brothers heard this, they expressed their opinions one after another.

We are all "hairy gourds" and are engaged in the business of killing people. Who cares about officials and bandits?

Seeing that his morale was ready, Ren Guangrong made a plan: "Old Hu at the west gate of the city is an old acquaintance of mine. Let's go find him tonight."

"If he can understand things better, he will not benefit from him; if he is determined to go to the end with Nazhifu, brothers, don't be merciful and send him on his way as soon as possible!"

When the brothers heard this, they proclaimed their good intentions and sent Ren Jirong out of the city to report the news.

Ren Jirong couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Why go to such trouble? The rebel army has already prepared a signal for me to facilitate contact."

When the night got later, he took out a few flag flowers, lit them on the spot, and flew into the night sky.

Zhang Shun saw the signal from a distance in the camp and couldn't help but smile: "It's done, it's midnight, Ximen! Let the soldiers prepare quickly. Once the city gate opens, rush into the city quickly!"

"Yes!" Standing next to him was his long-missing sworn brother Xiao Qinhu.

At the same time, in the pavilion on the top of Wangfu Mountain in the city, a woman surrounded by people happened to see the flag flowers in the night sky.

She couldn't help but wonder: "Now that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has already passed, how come there are still flag flowers appearing?"

The woman was somewhat uneasy and couldn't help but order: "I'm tired, please go back and rest early!"
