please make me king

Chapter 712 Plan ahead
After Zhang Shun read the letter, he made a decisive decision and asked Wang Jinyi to call Zhang Shenyan, Lu Weiqi, Song Xiance and Hong Niangzi to the government affairs hall to discuss matters.

These few days Zhang Shun was obsessed with female sex, the four of them couldn't help being anxious and admonishing them day after day.

The general idea is nothing more than that since ancient times, the sage kings have vented their fire once, and the sage's time can last for many days; if you vent your fire endlessly, you are really a first-class figure in Shang Zhou and Xia Jie.

Zhang Shun managed to find time to enhance the relationship between the husband and wife. Apart from comforting the red lady who was about to give birth, he was just pretending to the three of them.

Seeing that Zhang Shun "lost his ambition", the three of them could not help feeling sorry and deplored, and quite anxious.

This time the three of them were suddenly summoned by Zhang Shun, they were overjoyed, they straightened their clothes and rushed over in a hurry.

When they rushed to the meeting hall, Zhang Shun was holding the hand of the eight-month pregnant Hong Niang and talking about himself.

Seeing that Zhang Shun didn't know how to hide, the three couldn't help coughing twice to show that there were still three people here.

Zhang Shun glanced at them strangely, and thought to himself: My rules are upright, did anyone make a move, what's wrong with you?
This is exactly how a wise man sees wisdom, and a benevolent sees benevolence. If our husband and wife hold hands, the three of you will be able to think wrong?

Zhang Shun let go of the red lady's hand as if no one else was around, and smiled at Zhang Shenyan, Lu Weiqi and Song Xiance: "I know the three of you are anxious, but in fact I am also in the same mood as you, but when the opportunity didn't come, so I didn't make it. Now that the opportunity has appeared, Let's see how it goes!"

After saying that, Zhang handed over the letter he had just obtained to the three of them for inspection.

Zhang Shenyan reached out to take it, and Lu Weiqi and Song Xiance stretched their necks to look at it.

He simply read aloud: "Chuangxian Cao's Zhuyi army has broken Fengyang, the central capital, and then parted ways. The 'Eight Great Kings' Zhang Xianzhong wanted to leave Luzhou, and the 'Chuangjiang' and 'Living Cao Cao' wanted to work together to break Huai'an. Please also invite King Shun Make a decision early!"

"Is this...reliable news?" Although the three of them did not have Zhang Shun's keen strategic view.

At any rate, Zhang Shun had already slapped the key point on their faces, and they somehow figured out the meaning of it.So their first reaction was to verify the authenticity of the matter.

"This letter is sent by a reliable person, there is absolutely no problem. What's more, ordinary people don't know the depth of it, so how can they tamper with and spread false news?" Zhang Shun laughed when he heard the words.

To be honest, in Zhang Shun's view, the secrecy of ancient intelligence is almost like nothing.

Ge Lao and Shang Shu's memoirs about the imperial court's grand plans were bound into volumes and sold everywhere, and sometimes even got the news faster than Jin Guwei under Zhang Shun's command.

At that time, when Zhang Shun was in Luoyang Book Market, when he saw Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, "eight-door golden locks" besieging the shrubs in Luoyang, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

According to the concept of secrecy in this era, Zhang Shun didn't think that someone figured out his thinking, and took the opportunity to trick himself in turn.

Therefore, he said to everyone: "Although the rebel army has newly defeated Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, it still takes time to integrate the troops and seize the opportunity to attack the city."

"However, the strength of the imperial court is still there. If one is not careful, he will face the end of encirclement and suppression by the imperial army."

"Henan Prefecture is not like Liaodong. It is located in the interior, and the transportation is convenient. In time, it is not unusual for the imperial court to organize [-] to [-] horses."

"Therefore, I have to divide my troops and make sure that they can't concentrate on dealing with us."

"Then Li Hongji, Luo Rucai, and Zhang Xianzhong are my marionettes, trying to get rid of my control."

"They deliberately didn't follow my advice, they didn't go to seize grain, but instead attacked Fengyang Mansion in Zhongdu. It's really a way of death."

"In the battle between the rebels and the officers and soldiers, the victory lies in attacking them by surprise. Now the rebels are going east, and the officers and soldiers are unprepared. It is just right to take Xuzhou or Huai'an lightly, and get their millions of stones of grain and grass to recruit the hungry people in the world. You can be Zhai Rang and Li Mi and become a prince. .”

"That generation had no foresight, instead they put their name in vain and dealt with real disasters. When the imperial army arrives, that generation will not be able to last long."

Speaking of this, Zhang Shun wanted to laugh a little.Originally, he planned to let Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai seize grain, gather an army of [-], and corrupt the situation in the world.

This will attract the main force of the officers and soldiers, or at least lure the main force of Hong Chengchou who besieged Luoyang.

Of course, at the same time, Zhang Shun also considered the problem that if they were too strong, they would overwhelm him.

He believed that Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were not the generation who lived under others for a long time.When they are in distress, they can still unite in order to survive.

After they develop and grow stronger, they will inevitably be full of contradictions, and they will either part ways or merge with each other.

As long as he can take the opportunity to develop and grow stronger, it will not be too late to defeat them one by one.

But he never expected that before they could accomplish anything, he would take the lead in defeating Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces.

Then they did not take grain and broke Fengyang Mansion in the central capital.

This time, the strength of the rebel army did not increase much, but it aroused the hatred of the imperial court.

This has both advantages and disadvantages for Zhang Shun.

The advantage is that breaking Fengyang, the capital of central China, and threatening water transportation are no different from rebels seizing grain, which will also lead to encirclement and suppression by the imperial army.Zhang Shun's goal of creating a division of the court was achieved.

The disadvantage is that Zhang Xianzhong, Li Hongji, and Luo Rucai have not gained any real benefits, and their foundation is unstable, and they should be defeated by the court soon.

There is not much time left for him. When the time comes, the imperial army will gather and it will be another fierce battle.

That's why Zhang Shun was in a hurry, and quickly called everyone to discuss countermeasures.

Zhang Shenyan, Lu Weiqi, Song Xiance, and Hong Niangzi hadn't woken up from Zhang Shun's grand and calculating strategy, and they were thrown cold water again, and they were a little panicked and at a loss for what to do.

"Why are you panicking? Where is this going?"

Zhang Shun couldn't help scolding, "The most urgent thing is how to get some benefits before the court reacts, in case the court comes to attack next time!"

Zhang Shenyan calmed down a bit, and then responded: "The rebel army is attacking the counties in full swing, in my opinion, it is better to abandon them. Anyway, once the imperial army arrives, it may not be able to hold it. It is better to go west together and attack Guanzhong again. , take away its elite soldiers as its foundation!"

"Nonsense!" Seeing that Zhang Shenyan was a little confused, Zhang Shun couldn't help scolding, "Since ancient times, the so-called foundation people, Situsi people, have never heard of people with soldiers and horses as their foundation."

Seeing that Zhang Shenyan was a little supportive of entering Shanxi, Lu Weiqi felt a little anxious and suggested, "Although Guanzhong is good, it can't be done in a day. The only thing that Mr. Zhang is worried about is the lack of soldiers. If this is the case, why don't you take the opportunity to attack Nanyang?"

"There are also a lot of 'hair gourd' elite soldiers here. They can be the wings of Luoyang, and when the battle is not good, they can go south to seize Huguang, or go deep into the mountains of Jingxiang. Wouldn't it be a pleasure?"
