please make me king

Chapter 705 Balance
Don’t look at what Zhang Shun said so lightly. In fact, Henan Province is just a single prefecture, while Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty almost included all the elite areas of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai in later generations. It can be said that it is a combination of the four provinces. Henan Province How can it compare with it?
However, Henan Mansion is full of fat, how can it be lightly discarded?Secondly, although Shaanxi has no leader, its strength is still there. If Zhang Shun can't integrate his troops in time, what can he do with only [-] to [-] descendants?
However, it's not that Zhang Shun has no idea about Shaanxi.Since he sent Chen Changbing to lead two battalions to attack Tongguan, the east gate of Shaanxi, he planned to invade Shaanxi at any time.

In order to be safe, he also specially dispatched Cao Wenzhao, who advocated attacking Shaanxi, as a general to capture Lushi County. Firstly, it would help Chen Changbing's plan; .

Cao Wenzhao also served as the commander-in-chief of Lintao in Shaanxi for many years, and he knew the terrain and roads well, and also understood Zhang Shun's plan.Since King Shun had his own plans, taking a step back, Cao Wenzhao's strategy was more than half successful, so naturally he had nothing to say.

Of course, one of the most important reasons Zhang Shun did not say on the spot, only then will everyone know his painstaking efforts!
The strategy of the rebel army was fully discussed by everyone. After Zhang Shun listened to everyone's opinions, he finally decided with one word and established the strategy of "taking Henan Province as the foundation first, and then Shaanxi Province as the cornerstone".

Seeing that everyone did not have much objection, Zhang Shun quickly brought up another important matter.He recounted: "This battle has yielded a lot. More than [-] officers and soldiers were captured, and more than [-] were surrendered. Except for the three battalions of Chai Shihua, He Renlong, and Bai Guangen, they were added to other battalions of the Rebel Army. I don't know how to deal with it?"

Needless to say?Cao Wenzhao hurriedly stood up and responded: "Hong Chengchou's leaders are all the elite from Shanxi and Gansu. Now it's time for the rebels to use their troops. They should be included in the rebel army. Several battalions will be built to accommodate them, so as to prepare for the invasion of Shaanxi in the future! "

Facing Hong Chengchou a few days ago, the rebel army suffered enough from the lack of troops.Now that there are elite soldiers here, how can we give up lightly?Not to mention Cao Wenzhao, even Lu Weiqi, who was somewhat annoyed by Cao Wenzhao, also agreed with this matter.He couldn't help but nodded and said: "This is the truth. King Shun wants to take over the world against him, so he should use his strength to take it!"

Everyone else had no objection, only Hong Niangzi frowned and said softly: "If you talk about recruiting soldiers, the more the better, but the concubine is in charge of money and food, and I have to explain something clearly to the head of the family. It will not be too late to make a decision on this matter." !"

"Originally, the rebel army had seven battalions stationed in Luoyang, and the remaining three battalions ate elsewhere. A total of ten battalions and [-] horses. The daily consumption of food was [-] to [-] catties. Only defending Hong Chengchou for more than a month, ten thousand stones were exhausted."

"Today, the three battalions of Chai Shihua, He Renlong, and Bai Guangen have joined, adding another [-] people; if we build a new third battalion, it will add another [-] people. In this way, the military rations alone will cost [-] shi If we wait for an opportunity to invade Shaanxi, I am afraid that the losses will be multiplied."

"During this period, there will also be disasters, saving seeds, and spring plowing. Please consider it carefully!"

"Increasing troops naturally means increasing troops. This is the general direction!" Zhang Shun first set the tone after hearing the words.Just kidding, in troubled times, if you have soldiers, you are the grass head king, and if you don't have soldiers, you are a big fat sheep. How can you cut off your minions?
The matter of food and pay is indeed a big problem, don't look at Zhang Shun spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and stockpiling a lot of food and grass, if there is a slight famine, it may not be enough for the rebels to feed themselves until the next year.Not to mention that in addition to the staple food, it is still necessary to supply the rebels' salt, pickles and some meat products as non-staple food.

In addition, there are artillery, firecrackers, gunpowder, armor, weapons, etc., and there are many other expenses, all of which are spent on money.

Although Zhang Shun "robbed" Fu Wang's mansion before, Fu Wang fell, and Shun Wang was full, but it was not a long-term solution to sit and eat.Two million taels of silver sounds like a lot to an individual, and it will not be spent in several lifetimes.But for a team, it's just a drizzle.

Zhang Shun shook his head and said, "We'll discuss the matter of wealth and endowments later, and who should be in charge of the new camp?"

Zhang Shenyan thought for a while, and suggested: "Zhao Yutou's grandson, Zhao Lizi, was the first to be a dragon, and he has made a lot of contributions. Now that he has experienced it for a long time, he can lead a battalion of people!"

"Is there anyone else?" Zhang Shun continued to ask noncommittal.

Zhang Shenyan shook his head and said, "I have no other candidates here!"

Song Xiance suddenly said: "Now Liu Cheng and General Liu are injured, and Li Mou leads his men and horses. I think Li Mou's troops are well organized. After General Liu recovers, let him also lead a group of troops. camp."

Zhang Shenyan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously glanced at Song Xiance.

Although Zhang Shun didn't say it clearly, the four cousins ​​of Chen Changzhu were quite talented in leading the army, which once caused a lot of trouble to Zhang Shun.That's why Zhang Shun deliberately suppressed the generals of the Li family later, so as to avoid Chen Chang's great difficulty.

Now you old Taoist priest is so ignorant, why don't you open which pot and which pot to lift?
It's just that Zhang Shenyan didn't expect Song Xiance to understand the calculation earlier.

It turned out that Chen Changbing was powerful, so Zhang Shun had to be on guard.Now, however, the power of the generals headed by Cao Wenzhao has swelled, and Zhang Shun has to find a way to check and balance this person.

Now Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Chai Shihua, He Renlong, and Bai Guangen control five battalions, while Chen Changbing, Xiao Qinhu, and Li Xin only control three battalions, there is a risk of imbalance in the army.

Sure enough, Zhang Shun glanced at Hong Niangzi, nodded and said, "Li Mou is a man of prudence, and he has a good command of troops, so he can set up a battalion!"

"Zhao Lizi has worked hard, is loyal, and can lead a battalion! It's just the last battalion, who can lead it?"

Everyone felt strange, it stands to reason that Zhang Shun should act arbitrarily in matters of military power, why did he repeatedly ask everyone for their opinions today?
After a while, Lu Weiqi's heart moved, and he couldn't help suggesting: "The original Henan general Wang Shaoyu surrendered to King Shun, and it is really rare to be loyal and loyal at a critical moment. Please also think about it, King Shun!"

"Yes!" Zhang Shun smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

Everyone suddenly realized this time, it turned out that this was Zhang Shun's original intention.

That Wang Shaoyu has no foundation at all, and there are not many people under his command, so in the past, he only played the role of cheering and cheering.

However, with the gradual growth of the rebel army, Wang Shaoyu, the Henan general who took refuge in Zhang Shun, had to have an explanation.

In order to prevent him from joining the generals, Zhang Shun deliberately sold Lu Weiqi a favor, so that the Heluo scribes could also gain some military power.

Although Wang Shaoyu's ability is quite satisfactory, in order to fight with Cao Wenzhao, the Heluo Scholar Group will definitely win over this person, and beware of him taking refuge in Cao Wenzhao's side.

And because Wang Shaoyu was grateful for Lu Weiqi's recommendation, he would definitely get closer to Heluo Scholar.

After these adjustments, the imbalance caused by a series of changes within the rebel army has been rebalanced
