Please ask me to be the emperor

How do you know Zhang Shun got here? It turned out that when Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan Province, left Xuzhou, he was discovered by the spies sent by Zhang Shun.

From the perspective of Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, it was a bit of a fluke that he had not seen any movement from his opponents after the confrontation with the rebels for more than a month.

He only said that the "submissive thieves" were cowardly and did not dare to take the initiative to fight with the officers and soldiers. However, since the men and horses under his command were not enough to deal with the current rebel army, he had other ideas.

Fu Zonglong wanted to join forces with Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transportation and governor of Fengyang, to defeat the two thieves first to relieve his worries, and then argue with Zhang Shun.

But he never expected that Zhang Shun had already received news from Zhang Xianzhong and had already judged that Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai were about to return to the west in the near future.

Only then did he ignore the new Nanyang City and led his troops northward, despite all opinions, to prepare for the worst outcome.

This is why as soon as Zhang Shun arrived in Jiaxian, he ordered He Renlong to attack Yuzhou where Zuo Liangyu was stationed with great fanfare.

Its main purpose is to cast stones to ask for directions and test the strength of the officers and soldiers.

Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, was not very capable and failed to realize the power of it. He just said that the rebel army had no plan and storming the city was exactly what he wanted, so he abandoned Xuzhou and marched eastward.

The spies originally sent by Zhang Shun to track down Zuo Liangyu's messenger unexpectedly discovered the location of Fu Zong's Longbiao camp and its retreat.

When the news reached the rebels, Zhang Shun and Niu Jinxing couldn't help but be surprised.

Zhang Shun tried to attack Yuzhou where Zuo Liangyu was stationed, but his best plan was to encircle the area and mobilize reinforcements.

How can I get the idea that the officers and soldiers not only refused to help, but also withdrew the main force? What kind of operation is this?

Zhang Shun suspected that there was trouble behind the officers and soldiers and had to leave. The reasons are all ready, it should be Li Zicheng and Luo Ru who arrived.

However, all this is just his guess. If Fu Zonglong's retreat was actually a trap, then the rebels would have fallen into a trap.

what to do? Zhang Shun smacked his lips, a little embarrassed.

This is the virtue of using troops in this era. Because the efficiency of information acquisition and dissemination is extremely low, when making decisions, the generals rely on blind people to feel the elephant and make blind guesses.

If you guess correctly, you will become famous in one fell swoop; if you guess wrong, you will be doomed.

When tens of thousands of lives are in the hands of one person, one can imagine the pressure on one's heart.

Fortunately, this is not the first time Zhang Shun has taken a risk. This time, he has some basis for judgment.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Shun said to Niu Jinxing: "The officers and soldiers were initially divided into the north and the south to attack our army. From this, we know that their strength is insufficient."

"When Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, led his troops to the south, Cao Bianjiao, Zhao Lizi, Li Jiyu and others went east, plus the troops of our sixth battalion, totaling 30,000 people. Then why did Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, resist me?

"I predict that he will be alone and unable to defeat our army. When he leaves quietly this time, he must be encircling the 'Invading General' Li Zicheng and the 'Living Cao Cao' Luo Rucai."

"Our army should wait for an opportunity to advance eastward, disrupt Fu Zonglong's deployment, and resolve the stalemate on the Eastern Front in one fell swoop!"

Of course, Zhang Shun still had something to say. His sworn brother Xiao Qinhu only led a battalion to defend Nanyang City. If he could not defeat Fu Zonglong quickly, he might not even have a chance to collect his body.

Niu Jinxing nodded when he heard this and said nothing more.

It is the master's authority to make decisions on the spur of the moment. The two of them have already analyzed the pros and cons. The key is whether to take this risk?

Since Zhang Shun was prepared to take risks, all he could do was to make up for his shortcomings and minimize all kinds of unfavorable factors.

Niu Jinxing then suggested: "In this case, I would like my lord to send a battalion of troops to attack this city. If there is a slight change, my lord can also sit in the center and provide timely rescue."

What Niu Jinxing said is very clever. He rushed from Zhang Shun to Runing and made a detour to attack Nanyang City. It was obvious that his lord was not a peaceful master either.

If he often takes such strange risks, it is inevitable that one day he will become a person like Sun Ce.

Zhang Shun also understood Niu Jinxing's voiceover and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Do you think he, a young man who has lived in a peaceful and comfortable environment all year round, is willing to do this?

Everyone has only one life. This is not a game. If you are not careful, it will be the end.

It's just that human nature is afraid of hardship and death. As the lord, if I can't go to the front line in person, how can I urge them to do their best?

Not to mention anything else, but he said that when he took a detour to Runing and Nanyang before, they dared to do foreign work for him, which really made Zhang Shun feel lingering fear.

Fortunately, this time, the rebels were numerous and Zhang Shun did not have to do everything himself.

He then called Jiang He and said, "Since you followed me in Shanxi, you have been doing your best, which is very rare."

"Everyone else is the general soldier of the first battalion, but you are still the acting general soldier. I have been thinking about this in my heart."

"The city of Xuzhou is empty now, and the matter is serious. I originally wanted to go there in person, but Niu Jinxing and others persuaded me. They said that 'a body of a thousand gold is tied to the safety of the rebel army' and so on."

"I got tired of talking about it, so I thought, I really can't give them face! But face is face, and things have to be done."

"So, I thought of you. I asked you to take this trip for me. What do you think?"

When Jiang He heard this, Zhang Shun said that he wanted to cultivate and promote himself. How could he not agree?

Seeing that Jiang He agreed seriously, Zhang Shun continued: "In this battle, you have the right to kill first and then report later."

"If we can go to Xuzhou, Wanwu will defend this city for me. I will lead the army and arrive soon. If something unexpected happens, you can decide whether to fight, defend or leave according to the situation."

"Be careful in everything you do. Even if I can get away with everything, I will give you a great merit and give you the position of Commander-in-Chief when you come back."

Jiang He couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly kowtowed: "Please rest assured, my lord, Jiang will definitely handle this matter beautifully, and there will definitely be no mistakes!"

"No, you are allowed to make mistakes!" Zhang Shunyi stretched out his hand to block and arranged, "But you must do your best for me, and you cannot hide selfish motives and ruin the rebel army's affairs!"

When Jiang He heard this, he didn't know what Zhang Shunyi was referring to? He secretly glanced at He Renlong, Bai Guangen and other troops who were besieging Yuzhou, and responded quickly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely do my best, and I won't dare to slack off at all!"

Immediately, Jiang He gathered his troops, bypassed the Yuzhou defense line of officers and soldiers, and ran all the way to Xuzhou.

Xuzhou's soldiers and horses have already been deployed by Henan Governor Fu Zonglong. Where are the soldiers defending the city?

What's more, since the war has been going on for a long time, the people of Xuzhou have not seen a war break out nearby for a long time, and they have long been slack. How can they have any defense?

Things are much simpler than Zhang Shun and Niu Jinxing thought. Jiang He rushed to the gates of Xuzhou City, and without waiting for the governor to recruit young men, he rushed over and attacked with a drum!
