please make me king

Chapter 1677
"Long live, long live!" Accompanied by bursts of cheers, Zhang Shun brought Hong Chengchou, Wukong and others into Xuzhou City.

Zhang Shun looked up at the auspicious clouds in the south, and then looked down at the soldiers and civilians kneeling on the ground, feeling dazed for a while.

The cloud is still the same cloud, and the people are still the same group of people, but in the eyes of the group of people, the cloud has a different meaning.

This is not so much a superstition as an expectation, a high hat, and a fig leaf.

They have no power over the common folk of this day and age.Like ants, thieves come to surrender thieves, and officials come to demote officials, which is a true portrayal of them.

As for the big households in Xuzhou city, although they are stronger than ordinary people, they are still limited in strength.

Although in peacetime, they have great influence, but in wartime, they are pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, plump and without fangs.

As for Liu Liangzuo and his soldiers and horses, they did have some strength, but when the artillery of the rebel army mounted on the top of Yunlong Mountain, they had only two options: surrender or death.

"Your Highness, go this way, Chang Yingcang is here, and there are still 40 shi of grain!" Liu Liangzuo quickly guided.

"40 shi?" Zhang Shun frowned. Although this amount was not a lot, it was not too much according to the size of Xuzhou City.

Xuzhou, Dezhou, Linqing, and Huai'an are the four major wharves on the Grand Canal, all of which have Changying warehouses, which store millions of stones of grain.

Previously, the rebels captured Linqing and Dezhou, and obtained a total of 60 million shi of grain. They never expected that Xuzhou, which has a more important geographical location, only had 40 shi.

"Actually... In fact, there are more than a million stones in Xuzhou." Liu Liangzuo quickly explained when he saw Zhang Shun's expression, not knowing what Zhang Shun was thinking.

"It's just...it's just that Zhu...Zhu Dadian used half of his military training later..."

"Oh?" Zhang Shun nodded when he heard the words, but he didn't care about it.

He just pondered for a while, and suddenly realized something was wrong: "Where did he have the guts to embezzle so much grain?"

"When... His Highness was so powerful back then, the imperial court could no longer pay the rations, so... then he was allowed to use grain..." Liu Liangzuo took a sneak look at Zhang Shun, and explained.

"Uh..." Zhang Shun suddenly realized when he heard this.

It turned out that the rebel army had just occupied Luoyang, and launched a "grain war" to buy nearby grain.

Among them, most of the grain in Xuzhou Changying warehouse has been circulated in the hands of the rebels.

"Okay!" Zhang Shun nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing that Zhang Shun was not happy, Liu Liangzuo felt uneasy, and couldn't help but said again: "Your Highness, Yang Sichang is now aggressively conquering Runing area, Fengyang is empty."

"If you can send a light cavalry, you will be able to capture it in one battle!"

"Oh?" Zhang Shun's eyes lit up when he heard Liu Liangzuo's words.

It turned out that Zhang Shun rushed to Xuzhou this time, mostly for show. In fact, he did not intend to personally command the soldiers to attack the city and plunder the land.

However, he certainly wouldn't mind grabbing Xiu if given the chance.

Zhang Shunlue pondered for a while, then ordered: "Wang Ding listens to the order, immediately prepare the troops and horses, and follow me to Fengyang."

"Hong Chengchou led his main force and went down the river to Huai'an."

"Let Li Zicheng pacify Shandong and be stationed in Xuzhou on standby. There must be no mistakes."

"Your Highness?" Hong Chengchou was startled when he heard the words, and was about to speak to persuade him.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can go, this king will not put himself in danger."

"Then... that's fine!" Hong Chengchou received the military order after hearing this.

"Your Highness, are you really not afraid?" Not long after Wang Ding and his group finished packing up, they left Xuzhou with Zhang Shun and Wu Kong with about [-] riders.

"With you all at my side, why not be alone?" Zhang Shun smiled.

Wang Dingbu's cavalry battalion originally formed by generals from Yulin was not only well-equipped, but also had extraordinary combat effectiveness. It had also served as Zhang Shun's standard battalion before, so he was willing to take this strange risk.

"Your Majesty, I have sent Zhu Dadian to Yingtian Mansion to set up a palace for His Majesty, and he will move to the south of the Yangtze River in a few days." Just as Zhang Shun and others were doing both ways, Yang Sichang was reporting to the "false emperor" Zhu Changhao.

"Oh? How did the others react?" Zhu Changhao couldn't help asking.

"Qian Qianyi has persuaded most of the Donglin party members to support His Majesty, among them Zuo Guangdou's disciple Shi Kefa was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War and stationed in Yangzhou." Yang Sichang explained.

"I want to use Fengyang as the core, Xuzhou, Huai'an, Luzhou, and Runing in the west to establish a solid Jiangbei defense line, and then try to restore it."

"Among them, Liu Liangzuo went out of the town of Xuzhou, Mou Wenshou went out of the town of Huai'an, and Yang Yupan went out of the town of Luzhou. The governor of Fengyang, Zhu Dadian, was in the middle to coordinate..."

"Report, the enemy has been found outside the city!" Just as Yang Sichang was talking eloquently and imagining a bright future, suddenly a soldier broke into Huihui to report.

"What, how many people and what banners are they playing?" Before Yang Sichang could ask, Zhu Changhao asked with a pale face.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, there is about a battalion of troops under the banner of a general surnamed Wang!" The soldier hurriedly reported.

"Oh? Don't worry, Your Highness!" Yang Sichang couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"I have fought against 'Shun Thief' for many years, but I have never heard of a fierce general with the surname Wang. It must be someone unknown."

"Now that Liu Liangzuo is in the north, if there is a large group of people, we should have heard the news."

"There is no movement in Liu Liangzuo's department now, it must have slipped through the net from nowhere, and let the old minister break it for His Majesty!"

"Okay, okay, okay, then there will be Lao Aiqing!" Zhu Changhao felt a little relieved when he heard the words, and hurriedly issued an edict.

Then Yang Sichang got the edict, so he said goodbye to Zhu Changhao, and hurriedly mobilized his troops to fight.

"Zu Dale, now the main force of our army is scattered everywhere, and it is difficult to recruit for a while, so I will trouble you!" Yang Sichang came out of "Xing Zai" and hurriedly recruited the generals of the subordinate battalion.

"The last general takes orders!" Nazu Da Le heard that the enemy only had one battalion of troops, but he was full of confidence, and hurriedly opened the city gate to fight.

In fact, it's not all about Yang Sichang and Zu Dale's overconfidence.

It turns out that Fengyang City is so large that only one battalion can hardly defend it all, and the other is that Zu Dale is led by elites from Liaodong, even if he meets the elites of Houjin, he will not be invincible in a fight.

"General, look!" Just as Zu Dale came out of Fengyang City confidently, some soldiers had already pointed out to Zu Dale.

"King Qin? Generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses?" Zu Dale couldn't help being taken aback, then turned his head and asked, "Which one is this?"

"That's... that's His Royal Highness 'Shun... King Shun'!" Left and right couldn't help but say in amazement.

"What?" Zu Dale couldn't help being taken aback, and cursed loudly, "Zhi Niang has been duped, go, go!"

After saying that, he planned to turn around and flee into the city.

It's no wonder that Zu Dale's liver and gallbladder were torn, Zhang Shun fought all the way, and won countless battles, not only captured half of Daming, but now he defeated the famous Hong Tai and his like to death.

Although he also thinks he can fight, how can He De compare with Zhu Xieyuan and Hong Taiyi who died under Zhang Shun's army?
Not to mention the fact that Zhang Shun's daughter is now, since he himself has arrived, the army under his command will naturally also arrive.

"Where is Zu Dale going?" Seeing that Zu Dale was about to retreat to the city, Zhang Shun couldn't help ordering everyone to shout in unison, "Brother Zu Dashou asked me to bring you a message, come down to Your Highness early, and save my brothers from fighting with each other." See!"

As soon as Zhang Shun said these words, the entire Fengyang City suddenly changed color.

Do you know why?

It turned out that Zu Dale was exactly Zu Dashou's cousin, and the Liaodong iron cavalry he led was also a serious "ancestral soldier".

Now that Zu Dashou has surrendered to the rebel army, then Zu Dale, who is a member of the ancestral family, should naturally surrender to Zhang Shun.

"Quickly, close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly!" Yang Sichang heard it so clearly in the city, he couldn't help but his liver and gallbladder were torn, and he hastily issued the death order.

"Bastard, I'm still outside, why close the city gate?" Originally, the ancestor Da Le was about to turn back, but he was stabbed in the back by Yang Sichang, and suddenly flew into a rage.

"General, please make a decision early!" But at this moment, Left and Right couldn't help reminding quickly.

"What decision?" Zu Dale was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he understood.

Fengyang City is empty, and I can't trust myself. If I am loyal to the end, I'm afraid my family and life will be lost!

Thinking of this, Zu Dale couldn't help shouting, and said sadly: "It's not my Zu Dale who is responsible for His Majesty, but His Majesty is responsible for my Liaodong iron cavalry!"

"Today I want to be loyal but cannot be loyal, and I want to live but cannot live. I have to surrender!"

After finishing speaking, he drew out the saber in his waist and waved towards the gate of the city: "The three armies listen to my orders and follow me to fight against him, and help King Shun capture Fengyang City!"

"It's wrong, it's wrong!" When Yang Sichang heard Zu Dale's words, he immediately poured a basin of cold water on his head, cooling him down from the beginning to the end.

It's over, it's all over, Daming is about to disappear!
