Please ask me to be the emperor

Zhang Shun did not expect that the capture of Huazhou City would be so smooth. The rebels only set up golden cannons and field artillery for a while, and soon saw the soldiers on the city withdrawing in a hurry.

Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province, has always been tenacious. He was defeated in several battles with the rebels, but he was still able to regroup and was very difficult to deal with.

Whether it was gathering the defeated soldiers and holding on to Tongguan, or relying on Huayin to launch a defensive counterattack, they all fought vigorously.

Zhang Shun never expected that this time the other party would actually flee upon hearing the news and abandon Huazhou City directly.

When he sent out soldiers to test the attack, he discovered that Huazhou City had no soldiers to defend it.

"Where is He Jin?" Zhang Shun shouted sternly with a face drawn.

"The general is here!" He Jin did not expect Zhang Shun to be unhappy and angry, so he quickly stepped forward and responded honestly.

"You and I will lead two thousand cavalry and immediately go west to pursue Zuo Guangxian's main force. I, the king, will then arrive with his army!" Zhang Shun ordered.

"General, take your orders!" He Jin subconsciously agreed, and then he realized that Zhang Shun was about to follow him, and he couldn't help being surprised.

Nahe Renlong said with a troubled expression: "King Shun, brothers, one day and one night, the water and rice have not been eaten..."

"There was no shortage of dry food and drinking water along the way. Where did the water and rice come from?" Zhang Shun sneered, "Let me credit your camp with the victory in capturing the city this time!"

"The soldiers were ordered to bury pots and make rice outside the city and rest for an hour!"

"He Renlong, you brought a dozen brothers into the city and said that if you want the city to be safe, the gentry must come with wine and meat to reward the three armies. Otherwise, you, He Renlong, will not leave any chickens or dogs in Huazhou City!"

"Why me?" He Renlong always found Zhang Shun's words strange.

"Because your reputation is much better than that of me and He Jin!" Zhang Shun said with a smile.

"Hey, His Highness King Shun, please stop laughing at me. Why don't you let me go?" He Renlong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he quickly begged for mercy.

Immediately, He Renlong led thirty or fifty soldiers with a fierce look and swaggered into Huazhou City.

Zhang Shun then ordered Hong Chengchou: "Mr. Hong, I have to ask you to lead a hundred soldiers into the city to maintain order to avoid chaos in the rear."

rear? Hong Chengchou couldn't help but said in surprise: "His Royal Highness King Shun, don't you go into the city and take a rest?"

Chief of Staff Hong Chengchou saw Zhang Shun's posture, and of course he knew that he would continue to pursue Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province, but he did not expect that Zhang Shun would go into battle himself.

I have just surrendered to him now, and I am in a place of suspicion. How dare he let me out like this?

"Time is urgent, we don't have much time to worry about!" Zhang Shun smiled and shook his head.

Don't you think Zhang Shun wants to keep Hong Chengchou tied to him?

This is not a matter of rushing things. We have rushed here and there is really nothing we can do.

Originally, Zhang Shun planned to rush to Shaanxi first, lead his soldiers to open up the situation, and then mobilize civilian officials from Henan to govern and defend.

But he didn't expect that the situation would suddenly change, and he couldn't care much about it. He had to temporarily release Hong Chengchou from his hands and let him take charge of part of the work in Huazhou City.

This Hong Chengchou is somewhat different from that Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng was highly skilled in martial arts, and he had the support of his shepherd Yang Lukai and his servant Gu Xianwei. He himself had experience in recruiting and training soldiers, so it was easy for him to form a team.

Hong Chengchou successively served as a political participant in Shaanxi, governor of Yansui, governor of the three borders of Shaanxi, and governor of five provinces. Most of his subordinates were strong generals and soldiers selected from the border armies and guards in Shaanxi. He did not recruit or train troops. and Jianjun's experience, so Zhang Shun was not afraid that he would suddenly turn against him and cause huge trouble to himself.

When Hong Chengchou also followed the order and left, Gao Guiying couldn't help but walk up worriedly and asked softly: "Dad, how is your foot? Are you still okay?"

"Does it look like he's fine to you?" Zhang Shun smiled bitterly and raised his feet to show her the worn boots on his feet.

This pair of boots was made by Li Sanniang herself, and it took half a month of work.

The bottom is a thousand-ply bottom and the surface is cotton. It fits very well and is comfortable to wear.

When Zhang Shung first got these boots, he often wore them to other women to show off, and got a lot of looks from them. .

As a result, Zhang Shun only took about ten days to dress Li Sanniang after half a month of hard work, which really made people laugh.

Now, if other women saw what happened to his boots, their teeth would probably fall out of laughter, right?

Gao Guiying quickly helped him sit on a tree stump to rest, and couldn't help but regretted: "Oh, these cloth boots are not as durable as leather boots because they don't wear well!"

Zhang Shun suspected that she was connoting Li Sanniang, but there was no evidence.

After all, Gao Guiying was born in the countryside and often wore herder-style leather boots. It was possible to compare the pros and cons of the two boots by chance.

After a while, the soldiers brought the boiled hot water. Gao Guiying knelt down and helped Zhang Shun take off his boots.

"Oh, it stinks!" As soon as Gao Guiying took it off, she couldn't help but fan the wind with one hand and threw the boots aside with the other.

Can you walk seventy miles in one breath without smelling bad?

To be honest, Zhang Shun had never accomplished the feat of walking seventy miles in one breath in his two lifetimes combined. Thinking about it, he was quite proud.

While shaking his head with a smile, Zhang Shun took off his socks and put his feet into the water.

Suddenly his expression brightened. It turned out that he had unknowingly worn the soles of his feet in several places along the way.

The water hurt, and he noticed the wound on his foot.

At this time, Gao Guiying also squatted over and was about to wash his feet.

"I can do it myself. You can also perm it!" Although Zhang Shun holds a high position and is lazy, he is still a little unaccustomed to this way of being served.

"What nonsense are you talking about, daddy? I am a woman, why should I wash my feet?" Gao Guiying rolled her eyes at him, grabbed the soles of his feet and rubbed them for him.

Not to mention, after walking all day, it was quite comfortable to be massaged like this by her.

"Go find a more remote place to wash yourself!" Zhang Shun shook his head, not doing anything wrong for himself.

Of course, Gao Guiying is not a woman who doesn't wash her feet, but according to the customs of this era, feet are a very private part for women and cannot be seen by men other than their husbands.

Although Zhang Shun didn't understand what kind of inexplicable breaking of the rules this was, he respected Gao Guiying's habits.

Gao Guiying smiled and said nothing. Anyway, she rode the horse all the way and didn't walk much, so it didn't matter.

"Is Wang Jinyi here?" Zhang Shun asked suddenly while closing his eyes to rest and enjoying Gao Guiying's massage.

"Pass my order to select a group of smart people and hurry back to Luoyang City. I order Lu Weiqi to come to see me with Xu Quan, Zhang Luxuan, Dong Duxing, Li Jiqi and the 'Three Talents of Shangu' Wen Tingxu, Zhang Shifan and Shi Zuo from Song County. .”

Zhang Shun named eight people in one breath, all of whom were quite talented.

It seems that he has a big goal this time, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal!
