Please ask me to be the emperor

Before dawn, Zhang Wenxiu sneaked out of the Tang Palace under the cover of night.

Gao Guiying saw him disappearing into the night, then turned around and reported: "Dad, Wenxiu is gone!"

When Li Xin, who was in charge of the Golden Drum Guard, was transferred to general, Zhang incidentally took back the intelligence system in his hands.

It's just that Zhang Shun has too much to do and has no time to deal with daily affairs. Seeing that Gao Guiying was alert and close to him, he asked her to handle it for him.

"Yes!" Zhang Shun nodded, and then dictated, "According to the reports just now made by Zhang Qineng and Zhang Wenxiu. First, it can be confirmed that Zhang Xianzhong does have the idea of ​​​​'directing trouble to the east!"

"Secondly, Zhang Xianzhong's plan to go to the south of the Yangtze River may be where Zhang Kewang is. It can be seen that this man is both a snake and a mouse, but he still has some abilities!"

"Thirdly, Zhang Wenxiu is an incredible person. Based on limited information, he actually speculated that the two battalions of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai should have gone to attack Xuzhou, and believed that they would definitely return defeated!"

Gao Guiying heard the words and quickly wrote them down one by one.

After she finally finished writing and sorting out the files, she asked out of curiosity: "What does daddy think of this matter?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun pointed to the drawings on the desk and said with a smile: "Look at this, it's three hundred miles from Fengyang to Xuzhou, and seven hundred miles from Xuzhou to Xiangcheng. The total is only a thousand miles."

"It is 2560 miles from Fengyang to Luzhou, 600 miles from Luzhou to Runing, and 400 miles from Runing to Nanyang, totaling 1,300 miles."

"Li Luo's Second Battalion is three hundred miles closer to the front line of the confrontation between the rebels and Fu Zonglong than Zhang Xianzhong is to us. Not to mention, Zhang Xianzhong's road was quite mountainous, while Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai passed almost nothing but plains. "

"In fact, things may be worse than we imagined. We cannot rule out the possibility that the Second Battalion of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai guided Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transportation and governor of Fengyang, to arrive one step ahead of Zhang Xianzhong."

"Dad!" Gao Guiying couldn't help being startled when she heard this, and looked at Zhang Shun in a panic.

"Why are you panicking?" Zhang Shun shook his head and said, "If it should have happened, it would have happened long ago; if it shouldn't have happened, it didn't happen! Panic and panic will not solve the problem, but will affect your judgment!"

"What should we do?" Seeing Zhang Shun's expression remained unchanged, Gao Guiying breathed a sigh of relief.

"We will go back today. If Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Yichuan are willing to follow us, we will go back together; if not, we will go back by ourselves!"

"Dad, can't you trust Zhang Sanbai?" Gao Guiying felt a little secretly happy.

You have an older brother, and I have a younger brother, which are enough to make up for each other.

"No, I can't trust He Renlong, Bai Guangen and Chai Shihua. Zhang Sanbai is young and energetic, but lacks prestige. I'm worried that these three people are acting against the will and are unwilling to do their best."

"Uh..." It turned out that things were not what she thought. Gao Guiying smiled secretly and shook her head. She looked at Zhang Shun's face, which showed how many years younger he was than Zhang Sanbai.

She couldn't help but asked: "How do you have such an old-fashioned face and say that someone is young and energetic?"

However, now Zhang Shun, as the leader of the party, said such words. On the contrary, people subconsciously ignore his age and think that this statement is natural.

The two of them were talking when suddenly a few roosters crowed outside.

Only then did Gao Guiying realize that Zhang Shun had not closed his eyes for almost the whole night since he had a drink last night.

She couldn't help but persuade her quickly: "It's almost dawn, do you want to call your little beauty to stay with you for a while?"

Only then did Zhang Shun feel dizzy, due to lack of sleep and the sequelae of being drunk.

He thought for a moment, leaned back on the chair, and said: "Let Yurou come in and massage my head. Go and order Wang Jinyi to invite Xiao Qinhu, Ren Jirong, Ren Guangrong and Lao Hu over for me!" "

Gao Guiying quickly took the order and went. Not long after, the door creaked open. Zhang Shun did not open his eyes. Zeng Yurou walked quietly behind him and gently pressed his temples.

After a moment, Zhang Shun whispered: "I'm leaving!"

"Aren't you going to take us?" Zeng Yurou stopped moving her hands and asked calmly.

"Can you ride a horse?" Zhang Shun asked.

"Not really!" Zeng Yurou also heard about the incident between the Huang family and the Zhu family. As a young lady from a scholarly family, where had she learned this?

"The military situation is urgent, I have to leave!" Zhang Shun sighed. He wanted to promise something, but it seemed that it meant nothing.

"If I can come back, I will come back to pick you up!" Zhang Shun stretched out his hand to catch Rouchi who was massaging his head, and continued, "If I can't come back, you will surely hear my end soon! "

"Then what should we do?" Zeng Yurou said with mixed emotions. As people who have lost their virginity, one can imagine their fate when the officers and soldiers return from the killing.

Zhang Shun was about to open his mouth to answer, but Gao Guiying pushed open the door and reported: "Dad, General Xiao and the two directors are here. It's just that Old Hu was drunk and couldn't cope with the situation, so he didn't come."

"I got it, let them all come in!" Zhang Shun waved his hand, signaling Zeng Yurou to hide behind the screen.

Not long after, three people filed in. They had seen the ceremony separately and sat down in order of priority.

Zhang Shun looked at their tired faces and apologized: "The situation is urgent, thank you for your hard work!"

"I intend to return to Ye County as soon as possible to direct the battle with the officers and soldiers. I have given full authority here to three people. What do you think?"

"What?" Xiao Qinhu, Ren Guangrong, and Ren Jirong were shocked.

Weren't you all fine when you were drinking last night? Did something happen suddenly?

Of course Zhang Shun would not tell them that everything was just his own conjecture.

He smiled and said: "The purpose of this southern expedition is this city. Now that the city has been conquered, it is time to implement the next step of the plan!"

Ren Guangrong and Ren Jirong looked at each other in shock. They were too low-level, so naturally they didn't know what plan Zhang Shun was talking about.

Xiao Qinhu frowned, but he didn't expose him.

The so-called "Southern Expedition" naturally refers to the elimination of the enemy's counterattack force and the establishment of a corresponding defense system. Only then can it be called a success.

Now it only occupies an isolated city in Nanyang. Although Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, was defeated, he still watched him with eager eyes.

However, Luyang Pass and Yuzhou to the north of Nanyang are still in the hands of officers and soldiers, which can be described as desperate.

What happened that made Zhang Shun so anxious to go back?

However, Xiao Qinhu didn't ask anything, he just bowed and said: "My lord, I obey!"

When Ren Jirong and Ren Guangrong saw that Xiao Qinhu had responded, they naturally had nothing to say.

After the Ren brothers retreated, Zhang Shun said to Xiao Qinhu: "It is a last resort to trouble my sworn brother to go deep into the dragon's pond and tiger's den."

"Now, according to my guess, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai led the troops of Zhu Dadian, the Governor of Water Transport and Governor of Fengyang, to the vicinity of Ruzhou. It is unknown whether the Definitive Army has been defeated. Therefore, I am anxious to return to Ruzhou."

"If things really come to that point, I can still escape, but I'm afraid my sworn brother will be surrounded by everyone!"

"If things turn around, I will re-open the road and rescue my brother after repelling the officers and soldiers!"

"It's not up to Shun to determine what's right or wrong. It's better to wait until I leave and leave everything to my brother's decision."

Only then did Xiao Qinhu understand what was going on.

He was silent for a moment, and then he handed over his hand and said: "I can trust my third brother, and I will definitely defend Nanyang City until death!"
