Please ask me to be the emperor

After Zhang Shun decided on the strategy of conquering Nanyang, he sent "Advocate General" Li Zicheng and "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai to capture Dengzhou and Tang County without waiting for Bai Guangen, He Renlong and other infantry to arrive.

This prefecture and one county is located in the south of Nanyang, separated to the left and right of Xinye. It can form a close relationship with Xinye County and support each other. It is also a good source of troops. The Ming Dynasty once established the "Dengzhou Guards Qianhu Station" and the "Tangxian Guards You Qianhu Station" in these two places for the purpose of suppressing and recruiting "Mao Gourd".

When the infantry under Bai Guangen and He Renlong arrived, according to Zhang Shun's order, they casually captured Yuzhou and Nanzhao at the north gate of Nanyang, making the rebel area in Nanyang connected with Ruzhou and the eastern part of Kaifeng Prefecture. one slice.

Later, Zhang Shun sent soldiers to capture Biyang in the east and Zhenping and Neixiang counties in the west. As a result, all prefectures and counties in Nanyang Prefecture, except for the more remote Xichuan and Tongbai counties, were all brought under the rule of the rebels.

In this way, Zhang Shun's first step plan was basically completed. So he transferred back Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, and sent two brothers, Ren Jirong and Ren Guangrong, to lead more than a thousand troops to Dengzhou and Tangxian respectively to take charge of recruiting soldiers.

At the same time, he sent people to the border of Biyang and Runing Queshan County to retrieve the gold and silver and other valuables that had been plundered from Prince Chong's Mansion.

It turned out that after the rebels captured Prince Chong's Mansion, the military situation was urgent and they had to take a detour to attack Nanyang. The 500,000 taels of gold and silver seized by the rebels weighed more than 30,000 kilograms and were inconvenient to transport.

Zhang Shun defied all opinions, removed some trustworthy soldiers and secretly buried them at the junction of Biyang and Queshan, waiting to be collected later.

Now that the rebels have occupied Nanyang and basically stabilized the situation, Zhang was thinking about this incident, for fear that it would be dug up as a "treasure" by future generations, and he would panic.

Everything was very busy on this day. Niu Jinxing was reporting to Zhang Shun on the people's livelihood, materials, population, special products, etc. in the newly occupied areas. Xiao Qinhu was standing by.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jinyi came in and reported: "King Shun, two generals, 'Chuang Jiang' and 'Living Cao Cao', came together and said that they would like to come to see you!"

"Oh? Invite me quickly!" Zhang Shun and Niu Jinxing looked at each other after hearing this, and thought to themselves: "No matter what, don't go to the Three Treasures Palace." I think these two people must have some ideas.

Not long after, Li Zicheng and Luo Ru came in. They decided who and the guests were seated. After some polite exchanges, Luo Ru took the lead in cupping his hands and said, "Thanks to King Shun for taking us in, we were able to survive the pursuit of the officers and soldiers."

"Now King Shun is winning battles one after another, his power is as high as the sky, his generals are like clouds, his advisers are like rain, and his talents are countless."

"The two of us are no better than the middle class. We fought with the officers and soldiers, and were defeated repeatedly. We were as panicked as a bereaved dog. Now that this place is close to Shaanxi, we are going to return to our hometown, buy some fields and houses, and marry a few wives to support ourselves in our old age!" "

Sure enough, just as Zhang Shun expected, Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng saw their officers and soldiers defeated like a mountain. Now they no longer had the leisure to pursue themselves and others, and they started to think again.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but sneered: "Why do you two lie to me with lies? We are all brothers in the rebel army. If we work together, we will work together, and if we don't work together, we will leave. I will never stop you, so why do you need to be so hypocritical?"

Even if the relatively thick-skinned Luo Rucai was exposed by Zhang Shun on the spot, she couldn't help but blush, and she was almost unable to get off the stage.

Fortunately, Li Zicheng has become very good at speaking in the past two years, so he quickly answered: "King Shun, please forgive me. It's our two brothers' fault!"

"Originally, we wanted to follow King Shun and contribute to the founding of the country, so that we could return home in fine clothes in the future. However, the brothers under his command were all rough men. They only cared about one-third of an acre of land at home. In addition, we were used to being idle in the past, so we couldn't stand Shun. The king’s military law restricts this, so it has to be like this!”

"That's just a word!" Zhang Shun laughed when he heard this, "In that case, the road is open to the sky, let's go to each side. We are destined to meet again in the future!"

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai couldn't help looking at each other when they heard this: Could King Shun let us go now?

The two of them couldn't help but look at each other with uneasiness.

"Living Cao Cao" Luo Ru quickly stood up and answered with some emotion: "King Shun is indeed benevolent and righteous, and has a broad mind, but we admire him very much. If the brothers were not unwilling, I would really be willing to take the place of Shun." Wang Xiao is dead!"

"No more nonsense!" Zhang Shun waved his hand to interrupt Luo Rucai's flattery and said with a smile, "Where do you want to go? Do you need my help?"

"This" Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and responded in a low voice: "I heard that Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, was captured by King Shun. The mountains in Jingxiang are empty. We want to lead the people to repair here and then make plans."

"Dad!" Gao Guiying happened to come over with a tea tray and was shocked when he heard this.

This was exactly the retreat Zhang Shun had prepared. If the land in Henan could not be defended, he was prepared to lead the rebel army and his family members to retreat into the Jingxiang Mountains to "fight guerrillas."

Now I don’t know if this matter was leaked by someone, or if the hero has the same opinion. If Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai occupied the Jingxiang Mountains, wouldn't it mean that the rebels' retreat route would be cut off?

Fortunately, Gao Guiying had been following Zhang Shun for a long time and was somewhat alert. She quickly picked up the tea, and then continued the shout she just blurted out: "Please drink tea!"

Zhang Shun stretched out his hand to pick it up, took a sip, and said, "Give some tea to our two brothers, 'Chuang Jiang' and 'Living Cao Cao'!"

"I dare not call you brother!" Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai quickly turned sideways to show their respect.

The three of them exchanged a few more polite words, and Zhang Shun was able to calm down for a moment. After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "You two have a good vision. The Jingxiang mountains range from the Yangtze River in the south to Guanzhong in the north. The terrain is difficult, and you can attack or retreat. , and you can compete with me, and you are a first-rate good place."

"If you two want to leave, I won't force you to stay. I still say what I said, if we get along we will get together, if we don't get along we will leave. We are all rebel brothers who resisted the Ming Dynasty. We can come and go as we please."

"It's just that the previous oath to divide the world is still valid. I hope that the brothers will not kill each other, so as not to make the world laugh!"

"How dare you, how dare you!" Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai put their hearts in their stomachs when they saw that Zhang Shun was not angry.

Now Zhang Shun is so powerful that even Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng are afraid of him. Before coming, these two people had already discussed it, and they couldn't help but take the initiative to propose: "In order to thank King Shun for taking him in, we are willing to give King Shun 500 war horses and 100,000 taels of gold and silver as a token of gratitude!"

"Ah?" Zhang Shun was stunned. He never expected that "doing good deeds" would result in a report. He couldn't help but said happily, "How embarrassing is this? Then I would like to thank you two for your generosity!"

"Well, I hope King Shun can support me with that food and grass." The two of them didn't expect Zhang Shun to be so thick-skinned, and couldn't help but said a little embarrassed.

Because wherever the rebels go, they first control food and grass. However, Li and Luo did not dare to blatantly disobey Zhang Shun's order not to loot, so they had to rely on Zhang Shun's help to survive. Now that they had to fly out alone, they had to "beg" from Zhang Shun.

"This is an easy matter. I will support you with thousands of stones of food. I wonder if it will be enough?" Zhang Shun said with a smile.

"Enough, enough, enough!" Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai were overjoyed when they heard this. They couldn't help but thank Zhang Shun profusely and made oaths to thank Zhang Shun for his kindness.

After finally sending the two of them away, Zhang Shun turned around and saw Niu Jinxing rubbing his eyes.

He couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Niu, what's wrong with you?"

"I winked too much and got cramps!" Niu Jinxing replied unhappily.

Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing, and then asked Gao Guiying and Xiao Qinhu: "Do you think so too?"

"Our great enemies are: one is the Ming Dynasty; the other is the Hou Jin. Although they are ambitious, what's the problem?"

"If I can destroy the Ming Dynasty and destroy the Jin Dynasty, the world's heroes will not be afraid. If I am weak, I will not be able to tolerate others and kill each other to lose the hope of the world. When the imperial court draws its hand, a total of 400,000 people will be gathered from the southeast, northwest and northwest. The army is united with all the soldiers of the world to attack, how can we defend it?"

"So, why don't you use others to mess up the world, and wait for me to clean up the country?"
