Please ask me to be the emperor

Regardless of Hong Chengchou's character and mentality, when it comes to the military affairs of the three sides and four towns of Shaanxi, no one can surpass him.

The two of them put aside their previous unhappiness and couldn't help but become more and more speculative as they talked.

At first, Zhang Shun asked the most questions and Hong Chengchou answered the most. Later, after Zhang Shun became familiar with the situation and geography of the three sides and four towns of Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou asked more questions and Zhang Shun answered more.

Zhang Shenyan, Lu Weiqi and Song Xiance are people who don't know how to fight, so how can they get a word in?

The three of them looked at each other for a long time, and then they realized that there was a drunkard next to them.

The three of them couldn't help but think, we don't understand about fighting, don't we understand about drinking?

Then they took turns toasting to Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng did not refuse anyone who came and drank down every one.

These four people were drinking happily, and so were Zhang Shun and Hong Chengchou.

The more the two sides talked, the more they became more and more speculative. The two were attracted to each other, and the monkey.

So Hong Chengchou looked at Zhang Shun with softer eyes. This was clearly a "little Hong Chengchou" again!

When Zhang Shun saw Hong Chengchou looking more and more satisfied, he couldn't help but nodded. This was almost a "little Zhang Shun"!

After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are gone. Everyone was a little drunk, but they still refused to stop.

This made Gao Guiying unhappy, so he came to practice drinking, and then the banquet was almost over.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but put his arms around Hong Chengchou, and called to Wukong with a frivolous step: "Send someone to prepare a room for my brother. If there is anything wrong, you are the only one to ask!"

"Hey, who among us brothers is going to follow whom? How can we live in an upper room? A thatched cottage is enough!" Hong Chengchou couldn't speak clearly and even treated Zhang Shun politely.

"You look down on me, don't you? I am now the President of the four northern provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and North Zhili. All military, political and judicial affairs are in Beijing. A few residences don't matter! Go, go and find it!" Zhang Shun said angrily! .

Not long after, Wukong completed the arrangements and hurriedly came to report.

Zhang Shun smiled and said: "Mr. Hong, go and rest now, we will meet again tomorrow!"

"Hong is going, come back to visit King Shun tomorrow!" Hong Chengchou made a drunken fist posture, and then staggered away with the support of the soldiers.

Zhang Shun then stumbled up to Lu Xiangsheng, took his hand and said, "Lao Lu, I only talked with Lao Hong at the table, but I ignored you."

"How about you stay at my place tonight, and we can sleep together!"

"Ah? King Shun is drunk, help him back to the room quickly!" Song Xiance heard this, although he was a little tipsy, at least he still had sense.

King Shun, are you kidding me? This guy can wield a 140-pound sword and is born with supernatural power. If he really sleeps against you, our rebel army will change hands in the event of an uprising!

"I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk! Old Lu Xiu, let's go!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but muttered, "The arrangements for your wife have not been completed yet. How will you see her tomorrow?"

Lu Xiangsheng, who was about to follow the soldiers to their residence to rest, was stunned when he heard this, and immediately stopped and looked at Zhang Shun.

The most important reason why he was willing to surrender to Zhang Shun was that his old mother surrendered Zhang Shun first.

It would be a huge sin if the old mother, Mrs. Lu, knew the truth and knew that she had cheated her son, and that she could not blame him for it.

There is a saying that once you tell a lie, you have to tell ten lies to cover it up.

In order to win over Lu Xiangsheng's old mother, Zhang Shun told more than one lie?

In fact, after Lu Xiangsheng surrendered to Zhang Shun, he had been thinking about this matter along the way, how to coax his old mother over.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun smiled and said: "Everything that Mrs. Lu and I said is true!"

"General Lu is highly skilled in martial arts and is good at using troops. I would like to treat him as General of the North. I wonder what the general wants?"

"I am a civil servant!" Lu Xiangsheng suddenly felt speechless. Although he was stronger, he was still a serious Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, so how could he become a military attache?

In the early Ming Dynasty, military officials were noble and civil servants were low-ranking, and military attachés were often placed above civilian officials. Even "no title could be granted to anyone who did not serve the country and the country for military merit, and no title could be granted unless it was for special purposes."

However, as the peace progressed, the status of military attaches gradually declined and the status of civilian officials gradually increased.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the general soldier who was once the military commander of one party had already been reduced to a mid-level officer and completely lost his military command authority.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng was quite unhappy when he heard that Zhang Shun wanted to make him General of the Northern Expedition.

Zhang Shun reacted after hearing Lu Xiangsheng mention this matter. He was influenced by the thoughts of later generations and believed that the position of general was the most valuable.

He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Military merits are obtained on horses, so how can a general not be granted the title of marquis? Now is a time of great strife. How can Mr. Lu be willing to live among the slates for the rest of his life?"

"What's more, I have already told your parents about this matter. If Mr. Lu is unwilling to do it, how about I transfer you to a civilian position after the matter is over?"

Anyway, now I am in short supply of civilian officials. As long as you are willing to work, it doesn't matter if your good martial arts skills are wasted.

"What about my identity?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but wonder.

"Tomorrow I will ask Wukong to go to the library to retrieve your weapons and armor. Oh, by the way, I will also return your 'Qianli Snow' to you!" Zhang Shun said with a smile, "Then I will have someone carve a seal for you as soon as possible. Seal, made a golden drum flag, and selected more than a hundred people as guards."

"When everything is ready, you will take a detour outside the city and enter the city with great fanfare."

"Just say that I, the King, are extra gracious and allow you to return to Luoyang from the front line in advance so that you can meet your old mother as soon as possible. What do you think?"

"Thank you King Shun for your grace!" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but thank him after hearing this.

Although everyone knows that this is an act, Zhang Shun still needs to act out the entire scene for him. Otherwise, if the old mother looks down on the truth, it will ruin the matter.

"Okay, okay, go to bed quickly!" Zhang Shun said drunkenly.

Not long after, Zhang Shun arrived at his residence with the support of Gao Guiying. He only took off the coat covering his body, revealing the thin chain mail underneath.

Look at his expression, is there any hint of drunkenness?

It turned out that Zhang Shun had already been extremely cautious after experiencing many dangers.

This time, although Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng were persuaded to surrender, although it seemed peaceful, it was actually a bit dangerous secretly.

Not to mention Lu Xiangsheng, his magical power is astonishing, even if Wukong and Chen Changzhen fight immediately, they dare not win easily.

Hong Chengchou seemed to be a civil official, but in fact he was a civil servant and had received certain martial arts training. If Zhang Shun is not careful, he may not capsize in the gutter.

Not to mention that Hong Chengchou was convinced on the outside but dissatisfied on the inside. He made full use of his political correctness in eager to establish an image of "thirsty for talents" and tested his own bottom line from time to time.

Only then did Zhang Shun understand why when Cheng Yu persuaded Cao Cao to kill Liu Bei, Cao Cao said, "Now that we are recruiting heroes, we cannot kill one person and lose the heart of the world."

The two sides seem to be in harmony with each other, but in fact they are testing each other and engaging in intrigues, which is also extremely dangerous.

If you are not careful and the other party gets angry before you can react, it will be enough for you to drink a pot.
