please make me king

Chapter 782
After listening to Zhang Shunzhi's words, everyone took a closer look, and the person who had been waiting for a long time turned out to be a trusted young general who followed Zhang Xianzhong.

Niu Jinxing and Xiao Qinhu couldn't help feeling cold, Zhang Shun planted a traitor beside Zhang Xianzhong at some point.

How sad it is for someone to find out who is a hero all his life!

Seeing Zhang Shun, Zhang Ke quickly knelt down and kowtowed, calling out "Master", and finally explained Zhang Xianzhong's matter clearly.

It turned out that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng competed for the young eunuch that day, it was intentional.

He deliberately turned against Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai in order to avoid the sharp edge of the officers and soldiers, and with the help of the "sweeping king" Zhang Yichuan, he planned to use Yinghuo Mountain as the base, look at the south of the Yangtze River, and reproduce the old things of the former Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Everyone couldn't help but gasped when they heard the words, they never expected that this seemingly cruel and bloodthirsty mindless guy would have such a scheming plan.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but frown when he heard the words, even Zhang Xianzhong had such scheming, so could the more cunning Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai be so honest?
When I was using them, why weren't they using myself?

Intrigues, Gai Moru!
Originally, Zhang Shun still had the confidence to control the situation in the world, but he didn't expect that after such a disturbance, everything would be messed up.

Don't say that Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, and Zhang Xianzhong have their own ideas and "implement" Zhang Shun's plan beyond recognition.

Even Zhang Shun's original plan to seize Nanyang through a battle, there are many variables in its implementation.

Although Zhang Shun has now occupied Nanyang City, judging from the current situation, Huguang governor Tang Hui and others are not the ones to let it go.

Zhang Shun pondered for a moment, then instructed: "You go back now, it's better to be careful in everything, don't let this guy find out."

"You know his temperament. Once the news is leaked, he can't do anything against me, but he can easily deal with you!"

Thinking about Zhang Xianzhong's methods, Zhang Kewang, who was still a child, couldn't help shivering, and retreated in a hurry.

Seeing Zhang Shun sigh, Niu Jinxing looked away.Then he called out cautiously: "King Shun?"

Only then did Zhang Shun come back to his senses, and replied, "What's wrong?"

Niu Jinxing claimed to be familiar with Sun Wu's Art of War, but now that he has a glimpse of the leopard, he knows that Zhang Shun will use his time to the fullest, and he has played Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, etc. in his hands.

He didn't know Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, just looking at Zhang Xianzhong's ability, presumably the other two are not far behind.

Niu Jinxing couldn't help being frightened and delighted, and smiled for a long time: "The minister is frightened by the Lord's means, and the mountains will stop!"

"Which one of us is with whom? Needless to say, if you are flattering!" Zhang Shun waved his hands and said, "It happens that Brother Yi is also here, so hurry up and arrange people to contact Zhang Sanbai to investigate the situation in East Yu!"

"The last general (minister) takes orders!" Niu Jinxing and Xiao Qinhu responded quickly after hearing the words.

"My lord, what are you?" Niu Jinxing was a good scholar after all, a step deeper than Xiao Qinhu thought.

"Zhang Xianzhong returned to the teacher faster than I thought!" Zhang Shun frowned and said, "Zhang Kewang may not be telling the truth!"

"It's possible to say half and leave half; it's also possible to really know nothing!"

"Zhang Xianzhong's return to the west is not only to avoid the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, but also to prepare for the misfortune. He intends to attract the officers and soldiers, and let me defend them against the officers and soldiers. They hide in a remote place to recuperate!"

"This..." Niu Jinxing also reacted, and Zhang Xianzhong returned to the west, attracting Sui Chen's general officer Luo Ju, Xuzhou's deputy general Ma Yuan, and eunuch Lu Jiude.

So what about Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, who are called "more cunning" by the protagonist?

It is said that after Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong parted ways, they had their own plans.

The "Gu Yuan Zhenlong Emperor" who participated in the capture of Fengyang by the rebel army was actually not a "Qin Bandit" or a "Yu Bandit", but a "Lu Bandit" from Shandong Province in the north of South Zhili.

Originally from the Wanli period, the White Lotus Sect began to preach secretly in Shandong and Hebei.

The White Lotus Sect is a religion that specializes in rebellion, and is inextricably linked to the uprising army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, the White Lotus Sect has gone underground, engaging in rebellion at every turn.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, Xu Hongru, a member of the Shandong White Lotus, launched the Caozhou Uprising, which spread across Yuncheng, Juye, Tengxian, Zouxian, Yixian and other places for a while, cutting off the water transportation of the Grand Canal.

The imperial court quickly mobilized the army, and soon wiped out the rebel army, captured and killed Xu Hongru, and the White Lotus Sect continued to lurk.

This time when they heard that the rebel army was attacking Fengyang City, they joined in under the banner of "Gu Yuan Zhenlong Emperor".

It is said that the word Gu Yuan comes from the scriptures of the White Lotus Sect.

Although Nateng County, Zou County, and Yi County are located in Shandong, they are actually just north of Xuzhou.

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai had many cavalry under their command, but they were not good at boats.After the Governor of Water Transport and Fengyang Zhu Dadian stationed in Huai'an, they knew that they could not seize Huai'an surrounded by waterways, so they set their sights on the equally prosperous Xuzhou City.

Huai'an, Xuzhou, Linqing and Dezhou were the four major water transport ports in the Ming Dynasty, specializing in the storage and transshipment of grain.The city of Xuzhou alone stores more than one million shi of grain.

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai had a good plan. They planned to seize grain from Xuzhou and collect soldiers from Shandong to achieve great success.

In particular, Yuncheng and Juye in Shandong are the places where the main stories of "Water Margin of Loyalty" take place, which shows how the folk customs are.

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai thought very well, but the imperial court was prepared for it.Shandong general Liu Zeqing was transferred to Xuzhou by chance to prevent the rebels from blocking grain supply.

This Liu Zeqing was born in the Liaodong frontier army, and he also made great contributions in the battle against Hou Jin, so he has some skills.

Then Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai surrounded Xuzhou city and attacked them from morning to night, but they were unable to break through.

When the commander-in-chief Yang Yupan and the deputy commander-in-chief Mou Wenshou regained Fengyang, Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transportation, personally led the elite frontier army in Li Chongzhen, the commander-in-chief Ni Chong, the deputy commander-in-chief Mou Wenshou and the standard battalion. A total of more than [-] people attacked Jiuji No less than Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai.

The two couldn't resist, and were immediately defeated by Zhu Dadian, governor of Water Transport and governor of Fengyang.

The two had nowhere to go, so they retreated to Guide Mansion in Henan.Zhu Dadian led the elite in pursuit, but Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai had no choice but to continue retreating westward.

The two sides chased and fled. Seeing Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai forced into Kaifeng Mansion, Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan where the old god was originally, couldn't sit still.He had no choice but to order Chen Yongfu to stick to Zhengzhou, and at the same time ordered Hu Dawei, the deputy commander who had just been transferred from Shanxi, to stick to Kaifeng.

Just as Zhang Shun expected, as Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai intentionally or unintentionally attracted the main force of Zhu Dadian, Governor of Water Transport and Governor of Fengyang, the land of Henan was intricately covered with rebels and soldiers from the three provinces, and a scuffle was imminent.
