Please ask me to be the emperor

It is said that Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, was defeated at the hands of Zhang Shun, so he rushed back to Xiangyang in a panic with the king of Tang Zhu Yujian, holding on to his death.

Then he reported to the court: "Last year, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, led his troops to the north in response to the order of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces. His troops advanced rashly and met the thieves in Song County. They fought hard and were unable to win. They still don't know whether they are dead or alive. The situation in Henan was therefore very bad! "

"In order to exterminate this beast, I ignored the reputation of my life and death. Since the beginning of the year, at the invitation of Henan Governor Fu Zonglong, I have entered Henan to attack the traitors."

"I led You Shiwei, Zhang Waijia, You Zhaiwen, and Xu Chengming into the Henan territory. They fought every day and never slacked off."

"Unexpectedly, the situation in Henan has already been in danger. The thieves have attacked Runing and Nanyang, and Chongfan and Tangfan have been in trouble. They have also attacked Ruzhou and Ye County, and the gentry and common people have been in trouble!"

"At this critical moment, I tried to regain my strength and encircled Nanyang again. There were no less than dozens of battles, and the Hongyi artillery bombarded me continuously morning and night, so that I still have ringing in my ears."

"Just when Nanyang City was on the verge of collapse, the bandit chief 'Shun Thie' suddenly led his army southward and trampled our formation with his four hooves."

"Our army has been fighting hard for more than a month. The soldiers are exhausted, morale is low, and it is difficult to resist. I and the king of Tang personally visited the battle formation to boost morale, killing and wounding hundreds and thousands of thieves. However, the 'Shun thieves' are treacherous and cruel , I and others are outnumbered and have no choice but to go south!"

"Fortunately, although there were some losses, we were lucky enough to keep Xiangyang intact, so it wouldn't ruin the overall situation."

"I dare to speak boldly, but as long as I am here for one day, thieves will not be allowed to step into Huguang; if I am here for one day, Huguang will not lose a city. I, Tang Hui, will weep my blood and worship again!"

When Chongzhen and Chaoshang Gongun saw this memorial from the governor of Huguang, they almost laughed out of anger at him.

Since the rise of "shun thieves", the whereabouts of Hong Chengchou, the governor of five provinces, and Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, are unknown. Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, died in battle, and Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transportation, gathered the remaining soldiers and defended Kaifeng Mansion after being defeated. The co-author, Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, is different and aloof?

Poor Tang Hui thought hard for a long time and finally came up with this escape plan, but it was immediately seen through by the government and the public.

what to do? Even though it was cold, Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, had no choice.

After being unable to attack Nanyang for a long time, he had the intention of retreating. However, it is estimated that if the court pursues the case, it does not matter if he loses his life. It is just that the whole family needs a way out, so it has been delayed for a long time.

Now using "'Shun Zei' leading the main force" as an excuse, I thought I could get away with it. But he never expected that the life and death of the first "pot sharer" Lu Xiangsheng was unknown, and the second "pot sharer" Fu Zonglong died directly in battle. It was such a big blame, and I had no choice but to carry it myself.

More than ten days later, the court's punishment was indeed imposed:

Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, reduced his status to a civilian and was sent to the Ministry of Punishment's prison. After a joint trial by the three departments, he was punished.

As a member of the Ming Dynasty clan, King Zhu Yujian of the Tang Dynasty sat and watched other vassal kings die without saving him. He heard rumors that he had colluded with bandits in the city, abolished the official position for private purposes, and took the opportunity to take revenge.

After court deliberation, he was deposed as a commoner, imprisoned in Fengyang, and named Zhu Yuduo the king of Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, was watching the jokes of Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang. He never thought that he had a share in such things.

He couldn't help shouting loudly: "I was wronged, I was wronged!"

The eunuch who delivered the order couldn't help but smile and said: "Prince Tang, no, Zhu Yujian!"

"Anyway, the Prince of Tang's palace is gone, so what does it matter if you are not the Prince of Tang? What's more, everyone sees that you have ties to Confucian scholars and raise dead soldiers, so you can't deny it. No!"

Zhu Yujian suddenly collapsed to the ground. Now his princess is gone, his palace is gone, even his title of prince is gone, everything is gone!

He couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Why, why!"

"Why?" the eunuch who delivered the order sneered, "It's yours, you don't need to reach out; it's not yours, you can't reach out!"

"You have made friends with so many talented people, but no one can tell you such a simple truth?"

Zhang Shun didn't know that he didn't need to take action himself. The Dukes in the court had already dealt with Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, and Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang Dynasty, for him.

Since the cavalry under his command had been marching in a hurry for days, and the cavalry of You Shiwei and Zhang Waijia were looking at him, Zhang Shun did not dare to push too hard. After defeating the officers and soldiers, Zhang Shun hung far behind to see off a group of people waiting to leave the country.

The rebels finally gave up after chasing them all the way to the border of Huguang, Henan.

The border between the two places in Henan is under the jurisdiction of Xinye. This is where Liu Bei was stationed after he took refuge with Liu Biao.

From the eve of the Battle of Guandu, when it was defeated by Cao Cao, until Cao Cao pacified the entire north, Liu Bei stayed here for seven years.

The reason why Liu Biao of Jingzhou allowed Liu Bei to camp here was because Xinye was bordered by Luoyang and Nanyang to the north, Jingmen and Xiangyang to the south, and the Baihe and Tang rivers flowed through it. It had been a water and land hub where north and south met since ancient times.

If Nanyang is the gateway from the south to the north, and Xiangyang is the gateway from the north to the south, then Xinye is located between the two and is the gateway shared by Nanyang and Xiangyang.

After Zhang Xiu defected to Cao Cao, Liu Biao's Xiangyang was exposed to Cao Cao's troops, so he decided to let Liu Bei station in Xinye to protect Cao Cao.

This is enough to explain the shielding effect of Xinye on Xiangyang.

Although Zhang Shun didn't know the details about this matter, he could see the important role of Xinye.

He quickly took advantage of the opportunity of the defeated officers and soldiers to retreat to Xiangyang and avoid the sharp edge of the rebel army to occupy this place.

Afterwards, Zhang Shun ordered "Sweeping King" Zhang Yichuan to temporarily station in Xinye to monitor the movements of the officers and soldiers returning to Xiangyang, while he led other troops back to Nanyang City.

Nanyang City was still the same Nanyang City. When Zhang Shun saw this place again, his mood was completely different.

The previous time I entered through the north gate, but this time I returned through the south gate.

Zhang Shun rode the "Qianli Snow" captured from Lu Xiangsheng and led the cavalry in columns.

The two sides were surrounded by men, women, old and children from the city. When everyone saw Zhang Shun coming in, they couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "It's King Shun. King Shun, you are back!"

Just one or two, Zhang Shun also said that he was the actor hired by Xiao Qinhu and others.

But many people say this, which is unusual.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but get off his horse, walked up to a trembling old man, and asked strangely: "Shun is also ignorant. I didn't know that I have such a good reputation in Nanyang City. Why do you dare to ask me?"

The old man was very excited after hearing this, and he grabbed Zhang Shun's hand tightly and said, "King Shun is well known for his kindness. You promised us the land of the king of Tang and the gentry. We all remember your kindness!"

"It's just that everyone is worried that you can't defeat the officers and soldiers. Everything is empty talk and of no use."

"Now that the rebels have won a great victory, it should be our blessing!"

Zhang Shun was confused when he heard this, and was about to ask. Xiao Qinhu, who came to greet him, quickly pulled Zhang Shun's sleeves and explained in a low voice: "When the military situation was urgent, I gave away the gold, silver, and fields of the princes' palaces." Promise it to the soldiers and the people."

"In urgent matters, follow the authority. I will admit the matter later, you punish me, and we can play a double act!"

"What?" Zhang Shun glanced at Xiao Qinhu in surprise. You, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, can also deceive others. Who did you learn this from?

The two have been brothers for a long time and have known each other well.

Then why couldn't Xiao Qinhu see what Zhang Shun meant? He couldn't help but wink and say: It's you, it's you, you're the one who taught me to lie!
