please make me king

Chapter 476
After Zhang Shun returned to Luoyang City for three to five days, he had just finished handling all the affairs in the city, when he received a report from the scouts: "A large group of officers and soldiers came from Shanxi, they have passed Zelu Second Mansion, and will arrive at Huaiqing Mansion."

Zhang Shun was surprised and delighted at the same time.What was surprising was that the officers and soldiers arrived so quickly. The enemy towers planned at the four corners of Luoyang City had just started and had not yet been completed, and the defense of Luoyang City was still insufficient.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers came from Shanxi. The Zelu Second Mansion was originally the place where the rebels had occupied for a long time.

It's just that these spies were not professionals, so they couldn't estimate the number of officers and soldiers. They just knew that the officers and soldiers who came were divided into three teams, led by a general surnamed Cao.

Zhang Shenyan, Zhang Dudu, and Han Lin all knew a lot about officialdom, and after thinking about it for a long time, they all agreed that the leader of the army was no one but Lintao General Officer Cao Wenzhao.

Hearing this, Zhang Shun didn't dare to be careless. He had also heard the name "Big and Big Cao", and knew that he was the one who could stop children from crying at night in the rebel army.

What's more, the two had fought each other a little bit before, as a veteran general, he was brave in battle and experienced in using troops, he was indeed not comparable to the ordinary generals of Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, the commander-in-chief, also known as the commander-in-chief, had a lot of power and was in charge of the battle of soldiers and horses in a town.For example, the famous Li Rusong is the general soldier of Liaodong, and Deng Zilong, who commanded the navy to aid the dynasty, is just a deputy general soldier.

It's just that with the increasing intensity of the war, the expansion of the scale, and the corruption of the guard system.The authority of the commander-in-chief was increasingly unable to meet the threats faced, and the imperial court re-appointed governors and governors in order to mobilize, coordinate and command larger-scale campaigns.

This led to a decline in the power of the commander-in-chief, and even except for the [-] pacesetters under his own command, he could no longer command other generals, guerrillas, and defenses.

In addition, eating empty pay, breadwinners and soldiers under his command were killed and injured in battle.In fact, a commander-in-chief like Cao Wenzhao can only lead more than two thousand people to fight under normal circumstances.

After Zhang Shun got the information, he analyzed it for a long time and came to a conclusion: the number of officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress this time should be between [-] and [-].If it is more accurate, there should be about four or five thousand.

Even if there are only so many people, it is not an existence that Zhang Shun can easily defeat.

On the surface, Zhang Shun has a large number of troops, except for the guards around him, there are more than [-] infantry and [-] cavalry.

In fact, there are only [-] infantry under the command of Jiang He, the King of Chaos, and the King of Zhishi, and more than [-] infantry under the command of Xiao Qinhu.

The remaining [-] "Mao Gourds" under Xiao Qinhu's command have not received training, and the training of more than [-] "Mao Gourds" recruited under Zhang Sanbai's command has not yet been completed.These [-] people can only be used to defend the city, and cannot fight the officers and soldiers in the field.

However, Zhang Shun is not the same as Amon under Wu in the past. Everyone knows that Cao Wenzhao is famous. Don't you hear that I, "King Shun", killed Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi, and Deng Qi, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan?
Zhang Shun said with a smile: "I heard that the Art of War says: If you defend for a long time, you will lose. Now that Cao Wenzhao is coming in a fierce manner, how can I sit in a lonely city and let the heroes of the world laugh at me?"

"Cao Wenzhao came from the north, and he decided to cross Mengjin to attack me in Luoyang. Why don't our army now occupy this place and guard it because of the river? Ships from the south and horses from the north, even if Cao Wenzhao has an army of [-] under his command, what can we do with me? How about it?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. Now that the officers and soldiers are strong and the rebel army is weak, it's fine if you don't think about how to defend the city, but you still want to take the initiative to attack and go out of the city to fight in the field?

In particular, Dudu Zhang, who is good at defense, quickly remonstrated: "The art of war says: if you are ten, you can surround them; if you are five, you can attack them; if you have two times, you can divide them; "

"The army of the imperial court is here now, although we don't know its reality, its strength should be between [-] and more than [-]. Our army has less than half of the soldiers capable of fighting. How can the general throw himself into a trap? In my opinion, it is not as good as occupying the city. Guard them, and when their soldiers are exhausted, strike them and return them!"

Zhang Shenyan and Han Lin also agreed with Zhang Dudu's words, Zhang Shun was not annoyed, but just smiled and said: "What Zhang Dudu said is right, but things are different in different times, how can we not change from the past?"

"Luoyang is the new stronghold of the rebel army. The hearts of the people are not convinced, and there are no reinforcements outside. If you can't dampen its edge first to boost morale, how can you defend this city for a long time? Besides, Mengjin is only thirty-five miles away from Luoyang, and the infantry is only a day away. The cavalry can arrive in no time. Once there are police in Luoyang, there will be no delay in returning to help in time."

"Besides, the imperial court is full of talents and has a large number of troops. Our army can only fight for a chance by fighting fast and waiting for defense. If the imperial court has everything ready and sends a hundred thousand troops to suppress, I'm afraid the when everything rests"

"I've made up my mind. Zhang Sanbai led the unbearable field battle 'Mao Hulu' with [-] people to defend the city. The rest of the cavalry and infantry followed me to Mengjin to face Cao Wenzhao."

Everyone is inferior to Zhang Shun in using troops, so they have to follow orders.

After Zhang Shunsui bid farewell to the crowd, he personally led Wukong, Ji Cheng, Liu Cheng, He Jin and He Yilong, and a thousand and seven hundred riders under his command, and rushed to Mengjin at full speed.

Xiao Qinhu led Jiang He, the king of governance and the king of troubled times, and [-] people marched in front of the formation.

Zhang Shun's cavalry moved quickly, and it took only half a day to arrive at Mengjin Ferry.

The flood water at Mengjin Ferry has receded long ago, and some silt is still accumulated in unimportant low-lying places.

The rest of the Negative Map Temple stands still, and Guangwuling is as silent as ever.Everything didn't seem to have changed much, but the person who came was not the down-and-out young man back then.

Zhang Shun didn't have time to lament that things were right and wrong, but he heard the report from the scouts in front: "General Rong, a large number of officers and soldiers were found crossing the river at the ferry ahead. There are about two hundred people who have already crossed the river; there are about a hundred people who are crossing." There are more than a thousand people who have not crossed the border."

When Zhang Shun heard this, he couldn't help being surprised.The reason why he came here on a light horse was because he was worried that Cao Wenzhao would send a vanguard to occupy the ferry first, so as to prevent himself from defending by the river.

Now that the rebel army has arrived first, the officers and soldiers are crossing the river, just in time to attack them halfway across.

Zhang Shun hastily ordered He Jin and He Yilong to lead the cavalry under their command respectively, spread their wings, and attack from the left and the right.

It turned out to be none other than Cao Wenzhao's nephew, General Cao Bianjiao, one of the "Little Cao" and "Little Cao".

Just as Zhang Shun expected, Cao Wenzhao's army had just arrived near Huaiqing Mansion at this time.But Cao Wenzhao knew the art of war well, and was worried that the rebels would block the Mengjin Ferry, preventing officers and soldiers from crossing the river.

So he sent out his nephew Cao Bianjiao, galloping on Qingqi, trying to seize Mengjin Ferry.As a result, Cao Bianjiao arrived at the ferry and just captured Zhouzi, a nearby fisherman. After crossing three or four hundred people, the rebel cavalry came galloping.
