Please ask me to be the emperor

Because of his weight, Zhang Shun specially waited in Nanyang for several days in order to arrange for Huang Long to go to eastern Sichuan and western Hubei and open the "Huang Yao Base", waiting for Huang Long's arrival.

It's interesting that Zhang Shun sent a messenger. After he informed Li Xin, he directly said to Huang Long: "King Shun is waiting for you in Nanyang City. You can do whatever you want!"

Three hundred and fifty miles from Yuzhou to Nanyang. If the original "urgent delivery" speed of the Ming Dynasty was followed, with troops relaying back and forth day and night, it would only take more than a day to deliver the message from Nanyang to Yuzhou to Li Xin and Huang Long.

It's just that the rebels have just occupied Ruzhou, Nanyang and other places, and they don't have enough officials to manage them, let alone restore the original "express delivery shop" system in time.

Zhang Shun could only send messengers, one man and many horses to deliver messages and orders.

The messenger worked hard and arrived in Yuzhou in only two days, delivering Zhang Shun's order to Li Xin. Li Xin called Huang Long and showed Zhang Shun's order.

How could Huang Long know what was going on? After much thought, he had no choice but to rectify his troops, bid farewell to Li Xin, and headed for Nanyang City all the way.

At noon on the fourth day, Huang Long arrived at Nanyang City after a long journey.

Not caring about the traffic, he quickly entered the city with a few guards and went to see Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun received him in a gentle manner and ordered Gao Guiying to serve tea. Huang Long was so frightened that he didn't dare to sit still. He stood up and bowed to Gao Guiying repeatedly: "Miss, you are going to shorten my life!"

It turned out that when he followed "Chuang King" Gao Yingsheng, Gao Guiying, as the niece of the lord, had a respected status.

When Gao Yingsheng died, the only legitimate heirs to Gao Ying were Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong. According to the rules of this era of "monarch, minister, minister", Gao Guiying can be regarded as half of his master.

Not to mention that since Gao Ying was transferred to Zhang Shun, he could only act based on other people's faces. Now she is the only person in Gaoying who can whisper in Zhang Shun's ears. How can he dare to offend her?

Huang Long was originally fluent in speech and used to call her "Miss Gao". For some reason, King Shun was taboo about this, so he changed his name to "Miss".

As the saying goes: "The seventh-grade official in front of the prime minister's door". Even though Gao Guiying was a female slave, she was now accompanying Zhang Shun every day, taking care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation. She was actually much closer to Zhang Shun than the Red Lady, Li Sanniang and others.

Sure enough, Zhang Shun opened his mouth and said with a smile: "I am so anxious to recruit you because I want to entrust you with something like this! I heard from Guiying that you once stayed in the 'Shaohuang Army' in eastern Sichuan and western Hubei. I wonder if I can contact you again. Fuck them?"

Sure enough, the "Miss" said good things about him in front of King Shun. Huang Long couldn't help but feel happy, and quickly responded: "I was originally from Hanzhong. In the early years of Chongzhen, because of lack of food and clothing, he heard about 'Hengtian Yiziwang', ' Chuang Wang', 'Wang Monk' and others started an uprising. Yao Tiandong and I were moved by it and responded to the uprising."

"It's just that we have no armor, no weapons, no cavalry, and the only weapons we fight are sticks, so we are ridiculed as 'stick thieves'. We were unfavorable in the battle with the officers and soldiers, so we had to retreat to the Daba Mountains and were active in Bazhou, Dazhou, Tongjiang and other places.”

"In order to survive, we have to feed on pine nuts. We sow and gather troops, and harvest again, hoping to gain something. On weekdays, we can only live by kidnapping people for ransom. Life is very miserable, and I can't Don't follow 'King Chuang' out of the mountains just to have three meals a day."

Zhang Shun immediately couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. The "Thirteen Famous Companies" sounds like such a big name.

Now that Huang Long told it in detail, weren't they actually a group of bandits who kidnapped people? And they were all bandits who had no food to eat and were poorly equipped.

However, the good news is that the two "Shao Huang" people actually have no subordinate relationship with the "Eight King" Zhang Xianzhong, which has avoided a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun, who was full of enthusiasm, suddenly felt a chill in his heart. However, it was not easy for him to show his disappointment when he was asked to rush for 350 miles, so he asked: "What is the terrain like in Bazhou, Dazhou and Tongjiang? How many feet is it from here?"

"The land is mountainous and densely covered with jungles. It's thousands of miles away from here. We have to go through Yunyang, Baihe, Xing'an, and then through Taiping to Tongjiang." Huanglong quickly answered honestly.

Good guy, except for Yunyang, which is related to Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, Baihe and Xing'an Zhang Shun are all confused.

After being reminded by Gao Guiying, Zhang Shun then remembered that the so-called "Xing'an" is Xing'an Prefecture, located east of Hanzhong Prefecture and west of Yunyang Prefecture. This is where "Chuang Wang" and others were trapped in the "Car Gap".

Zhang Shun didn't feel sleepy as soon as he heard "Car Gorge". In fact, as the rebels frequently fought with officers and soldiers in Ruzhou, eastern Henan, and Nanyang, Zhang Shun deeply felt the dilemma of the rebels in the four battle areas, and it was inevitable that he would covet the Guanzhong area of ​​the "Hundred and Two Qin Passes".

He couldn't help but ask: "Is there a road from here to Hanzhong?"

"You can go from Bazhou via the Nanjiang River, pass through the Qiling Pass and the Dam Inspection Department to enter Hanzhong; you can also go north from Tongjiang County, cross the mountains, and enter Hanzhong through the Mengba Inspection Department."

Huh? Can enter Hanzhong! Zhang Shun couldn't help but be very moved.

Although Zhang Shun lives in a corner of Henan, he already has the world in mind. Nowadays, the biggest opponent to seize the world is Hou Jin, who has been separatist in Liaodong for a long time.

In order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from suddenly collapsing and allowing Hou Jin, who was ready to go, to seize the fruits of victory, Zhang Shun had already made various arrangements.

After much brainstorming and deduction, Zhang Shun believed that only by separatizing the west and southwest of the Ming Dynasty could the "houses and buildings collapse" of the Ming Dynasty not be avoided.

Now the first step of the rebel army's goal has been achieved, they successfully captured Nanyang and eliminated the southern threat to the Heluo area from officers and soldiers. Then he thought he could have a bigger appetite and try to see if he could eat Guanzhong, Hanzhong and even Sichuan and Shu.

But today's relationship between Huang Long and the "Thirteen Yellow Shaking Families" is equivalent to Gao Guiying giving him a pillow when he fell asleep.

If a nail is driven into this place in advance, then in the future we will have an extra "handhold" to capture places with dangerous terrain such as Guanzhong, Hanzhong and even Sichuan and Shu.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel ashamed of his short-sightedness just now.

He quickly asked: "What if I send you to lead more than a thousand elite men under your command to go to eastern Sichuan to contact the 'Thirteen Yaohuang Families' to establish a base?"

Huang Long was silent for a long time, then stretched out a hand and said: "I only need five hundred elite soldiers, but there is one condition. I must be allowed to choose my old troops under my command!"

"Why is this?" Zhang Shun asked strangely. Although there is a saying that "soldiers are more valuable than more elite soldiers", but for a team of thousands of people, it is completely within the level of Commander Huang Long, so there is no problem.

"Eastern Sichuan and western Hubei are short of food and equipment, but there is no shortage of people." Huang Long explained, "If I have five hundred elite soldiers, I can subdue everyone and attack the county town. I can't do anything with the big city."

"If we add 500 more people, it will still be the same, but there will be insufficient food. As the saying goes: 'There is a limit in life, but if you exceed it, it will lead to disaster.'"

Zhang Shun understood what was going on as soon as he heard this. It was just that this place was remote and barren and could not support so many people.

He then smiled and said: "In that case, it's all up to you. But I also have a condition. First, I'm not allowed to kill people indiscriminately. Second, I'm not allowed to commit adultery. Third, I'm not allowed to ruin the reputation of the rebel army."

"Otherwise, when the king leads his army to the west and is hated by the people and ruins the king's important affairs, you are the only one to ask!"

Huang Long now knew that Zhang Shun wanted to reuse him, how could he not be happy?

Zhang Shunsui taught him the strategy of establishing a "base area", and for a while the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
