please make me king

Chapter 739

When Fu Zonglong, the new governor of Henan Province, received the military news from Jiaxian County from Zuo Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of Changping, he became even more uneasy.

He rubbed his hands that had become cold due to the cold weather, and muttered to himself: "This Shun thief really deserves his reputation. I didn't expect that even a little-known general under his command would have such a brilliant performance in a hurry."

Zuo Liangyu was restrained by Li Xin, so the next step would definitely be a crazy counterattack from the bandits.

Fu Zonglong knew it well, and couldn't help but ordered: "Zu Kuan listens to the order, and immediately prepares to lead the Liaodong cavalry to attack at any time, and surprise the thieves who are ready to help Jia County!"

"Don't worry about the army!" Zu Kuan couldn't help but eagerly said when he heard the words, "I am an elite soldier in Liaodong, and I have fought against Jinbing several times. I am known as the best soldier in the world. Once I attack this time, these mud-legged people will cry for their parents and cry for their mothers, and they will be defeated!"

"It's better not to be careless!" Fu Zonglong casually advised Zu Kuan.But judging by his expression, he was actually convinced of this.

Cavalry is the king of land warfare in the cold weapon era.It not only has excellent mobility, but also has powerful impact, especially when fighting on the plains, it is invincible.

Then Fu Zonglong only had more than ten thousand soldiers and horses under his command, so he dared to take the initiative to challenge Zhang Shun. The biggest reliance was the three thousand Liaodong iron cavalry in Zu Kuan's hands.

Don't underestimate the [-] cavalry under his command, which is independently organized, and the cost of military pay, food, and grass is already fully worth the cost of [-] infantry.

Raising a cavalry can almost raise more than five infantry of the same type, and everyone is willing to pay for it. It is conceivable how powerful it is.

In fact, compared with the rebel army, Fu Zonglong's defense line in Henan is still relatively weak.The reason why he dared to be so bold was that he could mobilize these three thousand cavalry for support at any time.

This time, Fu Zonglong had a good plan. As long as he tried to cross the Ru River to support the "thief" in Jia County, he could send Zu Kuan's cavalry to carry out a surprise attack at a critical moment, catching the rebels by surprise.

Neither Zhang Shun nor Niu Jinxing had encountered a surprise attack by a large-scale cavalry organized separately at all, and they didn't know the power of this method of warfare.

At this moment, the two were checking the letter sent by He Renlong in the camp.

After Zhang Shun looked it over carefully, he let out a long sigh of relief, and handed it to Niu Jinxing.

Niu Jinxing glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing: "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations to my lord. The officers and soldiers moved slowly and only occupied Luyang Pass. Before they had time to capture Lushan County, General He took the opportunity. Now the rebel army has no Worry!"

Zhang Shun smiled slightly when he heard the words: "It is thanks to Mr. Niu's timely reminder that the officers and soldiers did not take the lead! If not, the rebel army will be attacked by the enemy, and Ye County will not be able to gain a foothold!"

Anyway, boasting does not require money, so Zhang Shun put a high hat on Niu Jinxing.

Niu Jinxing chuckled, he knew that Zhang Shun had his own ideas, and he was just icing on the cake, so he didn't dare to take credit for it.

He thought for a while, and thought: Don't worry, my lord will never think of it, now is the time to use my old cow!

At this point, Niu Jinxing couldn't help laughing and said: "Master, since Li Jiyu and Cao Wenzhao's two operations still take a day or two, the rebel army can't waste food and pay here in vain, and should give it to Huguang Governor Tang who stretched his hand too long. Hui find something to do!"

"Oh?" Zhang Shun originally had the same thoughts, but he didn't know how to do it, so he couldn't help but replied, "I don't know what kind of plan Mister has, tell me so that this king can take a closer look."

"From here to the east, beyond Wuyang County, is Xiping. Since last year, Guo Sanhai, Liu Hongqi, and Shen Wandeng have occupied this place. They gathered people to set up strongholds and plundered the prefectures and counties. The government is deeply troubled."

"Now Fu Zonglong, Governor of Henan Province, and Tang Hui, Governor of Huguang Province, have all recruited officers and soldiers to respond to our army. The Runing Mansion is definitely empty. My lord, why don't you send an eloquent man to encourage them to stand side by side in the south to mobilize the troops from the south?"

The Ming court set up a branch in Nanyang and Runing to patrol Runan and prepare troops. Except for foreign guest troops, obviously there was only one battalion available.

Since the imperial court was preparing to deal with the rebels who were clearly planning to attack Nanyang, it must have mobilized this battalion to Nanyang.In this way, it is conceivable that Runing is empty.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but screamed, "Mr. is really resourceful and resourceful, and he created something out of nothing."

Originally, Zhang Shunyou planned to send a battalion of soldiers and horses to the east of Wuyang to threaten Runing Chongfan in order to mobilize officers and soldiers.It's just that after such division of troops, Ye County's soldiers and horses became weaker, and the soldiers and horses who went to mobilize officers and soldiers faced the danger of becoming "abandoned sons", so Zhang Shun was always hesitant.

Now that Niu Jinxing proposed to instigate the bandits in Runing to make them violent, the rebel army is naturally a new force "made out of nothing".At that time, even if he made a mistake in judgment and damaged these thieves, Zhang Shun would not feel bad.

Anyway, these so-called "rebels" are just real thieves, burning, killing, looting, and death is not a pity.If both officers and soldiers can be harmed and create conditions for the victory of the rebel army, it can be regarded as a worthy death.

The only key question is who to send as this lobbyist.According to Zhang Shun's thinking, it is actually most appropriate to send Chen Jindou who is staying in Runing Mansion.This fellow has been hanging around at the grassroots level for a long time, and he is the most cunning, with a three-inch tongue second only to Song Xiance under Zhang Shun's command.

It's just that there are still Wei Jie and Wei Yingzhi, the former Henan soldiers who have just joined the rebel army in Ruzhou City. If no one is looking at him, Zhang Shun is really worried.

Ruzhou City is the core of the entire Ruzhou area, and it is also an important transportation point for the rebels to Luoyang City.If Wei Jie suddenly changed his mind, then the main force led by Zhang Shun might be in danger of being wiped out.

Chen Jindou must not move, so the only person who can be dispatched is Zhang Shun involuntarily looking at Niu Jinxing.

Sure enough, Niu Jinxing also planned in the same way. As a new recruit, he naturally had to make great contributions first to stabilize his position in the rebel army.

Therefore, he took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "Xiping is more than a hundred miles away from Ye County. Even if you go fast, it will take two or three days to go back and forth."

"Juming is incompetent. I can't offer advice and suggestions for the lord, and I feel ashamed that I can't appease the soldiers of the lord. Fortunately, I am also a person nearby, and I am somewhat sympathetic. I am willing to go to Xiping alone, and persuade these three people to add to the lord's justice. I hope the lord will allow me to camp.”

It turned out that this Niu Jinxing was also a proud and arrogant person. Although he was full of wisdom in front of Zhang Shun, he always felt that he was just speaking out for Zhang Shun, and could not show his due value.So this time he was willing to take a risk and wanted to make such a great contribution.

When Zhang Shun heard this, he couldn't help being startled.My old cow, you are just a counselor, not a bull devil, why bother to show off?

These people are bloodthirsty people. When you get to the den of thieves, they can't help but say that if they go up and chop you into several pieces, wouldn't it be a waste of their lives?
