Chapter 784 Zhang Shun's Decision

Before dawn, Zhang Wenxiu took advantage of the cover of night to sneak out of Tang Palace.

Gao Guiying saw him disappearing into the night, and then turned to report: "Daddy, Wenxiu is gone!"

When Li Xin, who was in charge of Jinguwei, was transferred to a general, Zhang took back the intelligence system in his hands by the way.

It's just that Zhang Shun has too many things to do and has no time to deal with daily affairs.Seeing that Gao Guiying was alert and someone close to him, he asked her to handle it for him.

"En!" Zhang Shun nodded, and then dictated, "According to the reports made by Zhang Qineng and Zhang Wenxiu just now. First, it can be confirmed that Zhang Xianzhong really has the idea of ​​'causing water to the east'!"

"Secondly, Zhang Xianzhong's attempt to go to the south of the Yangtze River may be Zhang Kewang's position. It can be seen that this person has two ends of the snake, but he still has some skills!"

"Thirdly, Zhang Wenxiu is a terrible person. Based on the limited information, he actually speculated that the Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai battalions should have gone to attack Xuzhou, and he believed that they would definitely return in a big defeat!"

When Gao Guiying heard the words, she quickly wrote them down with a pen.

After finally finishing writing and filing, she asked curiously, "How does daddy think about this matter?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun pointed to the blueprint on the table and said with a smile: "Look at this, it's three hundred miles from Fengyang to Xuzhou, and seven hundred miles from Xuzhou to Xiangcheng, a total of only a thousand miles."

"It's [-] miles from Fengyang to Luzhou, [-] miles from Luzhou to Runing, and [-] miles from Runing to Nanyang, a total of [-] miles."

"Li Luo's Second Battalion is three hundred miles closer to us than Zhang Xianzhong to the confrontation front line between Yijun and Fu Zonglong. Not to mention, Zhang Xianzhong's route is quite mountainous, while Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's pass is almost flat and plain. "

"Actually, things may be worse than we imagined. The possibility that Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's Second Battalion led Zhu Dadian, governor of water transportation and governor of Fengyang, to arrive one step ahead of Zhang Xianzhong cannot be ruled out."

"Daddy!" Gao Guiying couldn't help being startled when she heard the words, and looked at Zhang Shun in a bit of panic.

"What are you panicking about?" Zhang Shun shook his head and said, "If it should have happened, it would have happened long ago; if it shouldn't have happened, it wouldn't have happened! Being flustered won't solve the problem, but will affect your own judgment!"

"Then what should we do?" Seeing that Zhang Shun's face remained unchanged, Gao Guiying breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go back today. If Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Yichuan are willing to follow us, we will go back together; if not, we will go back by ourselves!"

"Dad, can't you trust Zhang Sanbai?" Gao Guiying felt a little happy in her heart.

You have an older brother, and I have a younger brother, which is equal to each other.

"No, I don't trust He Renlong, Bai Guangen, and Chai Shihua. Zhang Sanbai is young and vigorous, but lacks prestige. I'm worried that these three will not do their best."

"Uh..." It turned out that things were not what she thought, Gao Guiying smiled secretly and shook her head, looking at how much younger Zhang Shun was than Zhang Sanbai.

She couldn't help but said: "Why do you have an old-fashioned face and say that he is young and vigorous?"

However, now Zhang Shun, as a hero, said such words.On the contrary, it makes people subconsciously ignore his age and take it for granted.

The two were talking, when suddenly a few cock crows came from outside.

It was only then that Gao Guiying realized that Zhang Shun hadn't closed his eyes almost all night since having a drink last night.

She couldn't help persuading her quickly: "It's almost dawn, do you want to call your little beauty to accompany you for a while?"

Only then did Zhang Shun feel dizzy in his head, lack of sleep, and the sequelae of alcohol.

He thought for a while, leaned on the back of the chair, and said, "Let Yurou come in and give me a head massage. You go and order Wang Jinyi to invite Xiao Qinhu, Ren Jirong, Ren Guangrong and Lao Hu to come over for me! "

Gao Guiying hurriedly took orders.Not long after, the door creaked open, Zhang Shun didn't open his eyes, Zeng Yurou walked softly to the back, and gently pressed his temples.

After a while, Zhang Shun whispered, "I'm leaving!"

"Aren't you going to take us?" Zeng Yurou paused and asked calmly.

"Can you ride a horse?" Zhang Shun asked back.

"Not too good at it!" Zeng Yurou also heard about Huang Shi and Zhu Shi. As a lady of a scholarly family, where did she learn this?
"The military situation is urgent, I have to go!" Zhang Shun sighed.He wanted to promise something, it seemed like empty teeth, and it didn't mean anything.

"If I can come back, I will come back to pick you up!" Zhang Shun stretched out his hand to grab the catkin that was massaging his head, and continued, "If I can't come back, I think you will hear about my fate soon! "

"Then what should we do?" Zeng Yurou had mixed feelings.As people who lost their virginity, when the officers and soldiers came back, one can imagine their fate.

Zhang Shun was about to open his mouth to answer, but Gao Guiying pushed the door open and reported, "Father, Zongbing Xiao and the two directors have arrived. It's just that old Hu was drunk and couldn't handle things, so he didn't come."

"Understood, let them all come in!" Zhang Shun waved his hand, signaling Zeng Yurou to hide behind the screen.

Not long after, the three of them filed in.They had met the ceremony respectively, and they decided to sit down first and second.

Looking at their exhausted faces, Zhang Shun apologized, "The situation is urgent, thank you for your hard work!"

"I intend to return to Ye County as much as possible to direct the battle with the officers and soldiers. I entrust the three of you with full power here. I wonder what you think?"

"What?" Xiao Qinhu, Ren Guangrong, and Ren Jirong couldn't help being surprised.

Didn't everything go well when you drank last night?Did something happen suddenly?

Of course Zhang Shun would not tell them that everything was his own speculation.

He smiled and said: "The purpose of this southern expedition is this city. Now that the city has been conquered, it's time to implement the next plan!"

Ren Guangrong and Ren Jirong looked at each other in blank dismay. Their ranks were too low, so they naturally didn't know what plan Zhang Shun was talking about.

And Xiao Qinhu frowned, but he didn't see through him.

The so-called "Southern Expedition" naturally refers to the elimination of the enemy's counterattack force and the establishment of a corresponding defense system, which can be called success.

Now it only occupies an isolated city in Nanyang. Although Huguang governor Tang Hui is defeated, he is still eyeing him.

However, Luyangguan and Yuzhou in the north of Nanyang are still in the hands of officers and soldiers, which can be described as desperate.

What exactly happened that made Zhang Shun so anxious to go back?
However, Xiao Qinhu didn't ask anything, just bowed and said: "I obey!"

Seeing that Xiao Qinhu agreed, Ren Jirong and Ren Guangrong naturally had nothing to say.

After the Ren brothers retreated, Zhang Shun said to Xiao Qinhu: "I trouble Brother Yi to go deep into the dragon's lake and the tiger's lair, it's a last resort."

"According to my guess, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai led the soldiers of Zhu Dadian, the Governor of Water Transportation and Governor of Fengyang, to the vicinity of Ruzhou. It is unknown whether the army has been defeated. Therefore, I am anxious to return to Ruzhou."

"If things really come to that point, I can still escape from death, I'm afraid my brother-in-law will be surrounded by a group of people!"

"If things turn around, I will re-open the road and rescue my brother after repelling the officers and soldiers!"

"Whether it's right or wrong is beyond Shun's ability to say. After I leave, I will leave everything to my elder brother's decision."

Only then did Xiao Qinhu understand what was going on.

He was silent for a moment, and then cupped his hands and said: "I trust my third brother, I will definitely defend Nanyang City to the death and never stop!"
