please make me king

Chapter 433 All the way to the east

Zhang Shun did not wait for the arrival of others, and led more than [-] riders to Tantou Town early the next morning.

Kangjiazhuang is eighty or ninety miles away from Tantou, and it takes two miles to get there through Duyu and Qiuba along the way.

Duyuli is the later Shizimiao Town, bordering Qiuba on the east, Chitu on the south, and Baitu on the west.If the rebels occupy this place, they can connect the originally occupied Chitu and Kangjiazhuang into one piece.

As for Qiuba, it is the location of Gulouziguan.The ancient town rests on Xiong'er Mountain in the north, steps on Yishui River in the south, Shimen on the left, and manger on the right. It is the head of Songxi towns in Luoyi.

In the old days, this place was rich in golden silk catalpa wood with good texture, commonly known as catalpa, and later evolved into autumn pagoda.Louziguan was built and defended by South Korea during the Warring States Period at the latest, and it has been more than two thousand years.

Zhang Shun hurried through the place as fast as he could, while taking a rough look at the surrounding terrain.

After simply observing and asking the guards, he suddenly realized the importance of this place.The places where the rebels live are all south of Xiong'er Mountain.It blocked the north and south, and cut off the connection between Luanchuan and other places and the land of Yiluo.

If the officers and soldiers sent troops from Yiluo, they would definitely come west along the Yishui River, pass through Song County, and pass by this place.And in the future, if I send troops to the land of Yiluo to attack Luoyang, I will definitely have to go east along the Yishui River, which is an important military location.

In the past, the rebel army was unknown to the officers and soldiers in order to keep a low profile.He deliberately prevented the rebels from attacking and controlling the land under Song County, so as not to be discovered by the officers and soldiers and lead to encirclement and suppression.

Now that his whereabouts have been exposed, such worries have disappeared.Looking back, you can order Chen Changliang to lead the troops to start from Kangjiazhuang, take Baitu in the west, and Duyu, Qiuba and Tantou in the east.From the east of Lushi to the west of Songxian County, it was brought under the rule to form a complete military geographical unit.

When Zhang Shun and the others passed through Qiuba and arrived near Tantou Town, the terrain suddenly felt open.Although there are still undulating mountains and lush forests, there are more and more farmlands and the terrain is slightly flatter.

It turns out that this place is not only rich in gold, but also a place with developed agriculture.This is a place with fertile soil, and it is close to the Yishui River, which is good for irrigation.Tantou Town was later assigned to Luanchuan County, known as "Luanchuan Granary".

During the later Anti-Japanese War, in order to avoid the Japanese war, Henan University once moved here and insisted on running the school for five years.

Of course, Zhang Shun didn't know about this at all, and even if he knew, it wouldn't help his current situation at all.He just saw that this place was fertile, and couldn't help being a little jealous.

These days, Zhang Shun racked his brains to find food sources for his subordinate Martin Zhuang.Seeing such a fertile land now, of course I want to bring it under the rule.

However, he also knew that after Kangjiazhuang was exposed, he would not be able to stay there for long.Looking back, I can only ask Chen Changzhu to pay attention to collecting food tax here and buy food.

Tantou Town's defense facilities are not as good as Luanchuan Town's. At any rate, Luanchuan Town has an inspection department, which can be defended by relying on the inspection department's buildings.And Tantou Town is just a small town with developed agriculture and mining industry, without any defensive facilities such as city walls.

It will be late when Zhang Shun leads the cavalry to this town.But Tang Kyushu just left and never stayed here.

It turned out that Tang Jiuzhou followed Zuo Liangyu and was defeated by Zhang Shun many times, so he was very afraid of him.What's more, Tantou Town could not be fortified, so this person abandoned the place and continued to run eastward all the way.

When Zhang Shun entered Tantou Town, where was Tantou Town prepared?All of a sudden, the people in the town jumped up and down, hiding in their homes and shivering in the mountains.

Zhang Shun rode a horse on the streets of Tantou Town, and found blood stains, damaged gatehouses and headless corpses discarded in the corners left by the rebels who attacked the place by Tang Jiuzhou before.

No wonder the people in Tantou Town were trembling, most of those corpses were wearing civilian clothes.It's hard to say whether it's the corpses of the rebels entrenched in this place or the local people were killed for meritorious deeds.

Zhang Shun looked back at the setting sun covered by the undulating mountains and rivers, although the officers and soldiers had traveled for a day and a night first, the mountain road was difficult to walk, but it was not far from here.

He also didn't care about gentleness, so he directly ordered Wukong to bring a few people, and went to the town to find some old men who seemed to be of status and status, and brought them to him.

By the way, Zhang dismounted, cupped his hands, and asked gently: "Several old men, Xiaosheng is very polite. It's the first time I pass by Baodi, so I'm bothering you a lot. I am Tang Jiuzhou, the deputy commander of Changping, and I am chasing a group of thieves pretending to be officers and soldiers. Jun, I wonder if you have heard of it?"

These old men were originally arrested and trembled like chaff in fright.It wasn't until seeing Zhang Shun's gentleness and politeness that he calmed down and responded reluctantly: "Tang Zongbing is polite. Earlier, there was a group of thieves who called themselves 'Nine Dragons' and they were entrenched in this place. They were very vicious. I mentioned something like 'Tang Zongbing', I don't know where it came from, but it has the same surname as the general."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shun said with a smile: "This thief is cunning and treacherous. It's just a way of pretending to be the commander-in-chief, playing black and white, and fighting each other."

Those old men suddenly realized, and said to themselves: "No wonder this guy is more vicious than that thief 'Nine Dragons', not only killed the thief, but also hurt many people in my Tantou Town, the thief's nature is hard to change what!"

Zhang Shun was noncommittal, just smiled, cupped his hands and said, "So please tell me the truth, lest the thieves get the news and hide in the mountains. When the time comes, the officers and soldiers will come down the mountain to harm our Tantou Town as soon as they leave. "

It was a matter of their own family and their lives, so they dared to conceal it, so they quickly responded: "Don't worry about Mr. Tang, the thieves left east this afternoon, and they have been gone for about an hour. According to our estimation, by the time of the old County town."

This Jiuxian Town in Songxian County is quite similar to the old county that was besieged by the rebels at the time when Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi, was originally the seat of Song County, but was later abandoned due to changes in the administration.

During the Ming Dynasty, an inspection department was set up here to monitor the bandits and powerful people fleeing from Xiong'er Mountain, Funiu Mountain and other places, so as not to fail the safety of Song County and even Yiluo area.

The distance from Tantou Town to Jiuxian Town is only [-] miles away. If the terrain is flat, a cavalry raid would take only a stick of incense.

Zhang Shun thought for a while, and guessed that Tang Jiuzhou's men were all infantry, and they walked a hundred miles of mountain road day and night, so they must be tired and tired, so they could only rest here.

It's just that the distance between the two armies is very close at present, and the wind must not be leaked.Zhang Shun quickly ordered Liu Cheng to send more than a hundred horsemen to stand guard and monitor the movements of the people coming and going.The rest of the people waited for a while to rest and bury the pot for cooking.

By the time everyone had eaten and drank enough, it was already late.Regardless of the darkness of the sky, Zhang Shun personally led the rebel army all the way to the east, and made a surprise attack on Jiuxian Town.

　There is only one update today, and the author will have to work overtime at two o'clock tomorrow morning, I am really sorry everyone!
