Ye County is about the same distance from Luoyang and Sishui. Luoyang is a little closer, but there are more mountain roads, while Sishui is a little farther, but there are more flat roads.

The two places are only 300 miles away from Ye County. Although the rebel army did not have the 300-mile transfer shop like the Ming Dynasty, fortunately, the messenger could count the horses and whip them quickly, and he could reach his destination within two days.

After sending the messenger, Zhang Shun was not idle either. While ordering his soldiers to strengthen the defense of Ye County, set up patrols, prepare stones, rolling wood, iron pots, wood and other supplies; while sending scouts to nearby prefectures and counties to investigate the movements of officers and soldiers.

.

In the Central Plains area where towns are densely populated, the scouts’ methods of detecting intelligence are not exactly the same as those in the northern border areas.

In addition to the kind of scouts with light swords and fast horses and groups of three or five, the rebels also set up many scouts in disguise. They wore the costumes of ordinary people and mingled in nearby prefectures and counties, and could inquire about the things of officers and soldiers.

In ancient times, the prefectures and counties were not very big, and there were many idle things. Once there was a turbulence, it would soon be known to everyone in the city. It was only because of the backward traffic level, and it did not reach the ears of the rebels so quickly.

Since Zhang Shun set up these "spy", he naturally prepared a complete transmission method. Once there were police in the city, the rebels would have someone scrambled out of the city and then returned to Ye County to report the military situation.

Things were a little beyond Zhang Shun's expectations. When the messenger left, a scout came back to report: "We found the brigade officers and soldiers in Yuzhou, who were mostly in Huguang and Shanxi accents, carrying guns and arrows, and armored cloth clothes.

Mixed.”

Zhang Shun frowned and looked at Niu Jinxing and said, "In this way, it seems to be Huguang soldiers and Xuanda border troops!"

"It must be that the governor of Huguang Tang Hui came in person!" Niu Jinxing asserted when he heard this, "The two places in Runing and Nanyang were originally equipped with only one army and one army in Runing and the number of soldiers and more than 5,000 people and more than 400 people in Runing and the number of soldiers and more than 400 people in Runing and the number of soldiers and the number of soldiers was 5,000.

The number of people is only three thousand, so there should be no Huguang or Shanxi accent. It is even hard to ignore the Tang vassals and send them all to Yuzhou."

"Now the rebel army is attacked from both sides and does not know the situation of the enemy. The most urgent task is to send a different general to capture Lushan County, beware of the officers and soldiers heading north from Luyang Pass, attack Baofeng in surprise, and cut off my way back!"

Zhang Shun looked at the future of his command. Xiao Qinhu, Zhang Sanbai, Chai Shihua, He Renlong and Bai Guangen all showed heavy expressions on his face. It seemed that everyone already knew that the rebel army was now attacked from both sides and the situation was not optimistic.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mr. Niu's words are reasonable. Zhang Sanbai obeyed the order and immediately led his troops to Baofeng to guard the army. Be sure to guard the safety of the rear of the army. He Renlong obeyed the order and immediately led his elite troops to attack Lushan.

The county must not make any mistakes.”

"If Lushan County is already under the control of the officers and soldiers, if the surprise attack fails, it will be changed to a strong attack. Be sure to take down this city to ensure the safety of the rebel army's retreat!"

"Yes!" Zhang Sanbai and He Renlong responded quickly when they heard this, and then stepped down to prepare for the departure.

Zhang Shun arranged all the precautions for the remaining generals, and everyone dispersed. It was not until this time that he said to Niu Jinxing with a worried look on his face: "The enemy's situation is unknown now, and I really can't sleep or eat!"

No wonder Zhang Shun was worried. Originally, the rebel army seized Nanyang Prefecture as a barrier to Henan Prefecture was a established strategy. But he never expected that he would be blocked by the officers and soldiers when he set out for the front and then his feet were blocked. Could it be that there were officers and soldiers under his command?

To be honest, no matter whether it is the core civil minister of the rebel army, or Lv Weiqi, they were originally important officials of the court; among the military generals, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Shaoyu were all highly valued generals of the court. No matter who they communicated with the court in private, they bet on both sides,

It's not impossible.

After all, Zhang Shun's rebellion was short, and the villagers helped him with his brothers. In addition to Song Xiance, Zhang Sanbai, Zhao Lizi, his sworn brothers, and his family's heroes, they could almost rely on people.

Although he was suspicious in his heart, he did not dare to show it on his face. Otherwise, if the king and his ministers did not even have this fragile trust, then the rebels might fall apart in an instant.

For the current plan, there will be a glimmer of hope in continuing to win and maintaining the position.

How could Niu Jinxing know the hidden worries in Zhang Shun? He only knew that Zhang Shun won consecutive battles and defeated important officials of the court, and his momentum was at its peak.

He couldn't help but comfort him: "General, don't bother you. Although the court has many soldiers, how many soldiers can be recruited in more than a month?"

"Not to mention that in addition to King Shun, we must also separate the rebels from all over the country. Just based on the former court's discussions on Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang and Shandong, 70,000 troops to encircle and intercept the rebels."

"Only 40,000 under the command of the Governor of the Five Provinces, Hong Chengchou, was defeated by the generals, and the remaining Huguang and Henan were only 30,000 troops. Even if there were some recruitment, except for the troops assigned to the guards, each governor had only more than 10,000 troops. What were they afraid of?

?”

Zhang Shun listened to Niu Jinxing's analysis like this, and the stone pressing on Zhang Shun's heart was slightly removed.

Originally, I started from scratch and didn’t even have a single available person on hand, and I could still make such a career. Now that there are too many bottles and jars, I am worried about gains and losses. Isn’t that ridiculous?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun suddenly became enlightened and asked with a smile: "If it were indeed Huguang and the second governor of Henan worked together to attack me, I wonder how to deal with it?"

Niu Jinxing also smiled and said, "War two strategies are taken. Only by keeping the strategy will you lose your mistakes after a long period of time. For the rebel army, there is no profit to make, so you must not do it!"

"Ye County is an important transportation route between north and south, and it was Kunyang in the past. When Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, fought in Kunyang, became famous all over the world, and there was something to become a great treasure in the future. Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, captured the two kings in the battle of Hulao Pass,

With the great military power of the Tang Dynasty, why not follow the examples of the ancestors and lead to the world?”

Good guy, one is a great magician, and the other is a powerful army since ancient times, so you can look down on me. Zhang Shun smiled bitterly in his heart and asked quickly: "I wonder what Mr. Niu has to do to respond?"

"The way to leave is to return to Baofeng and Ruzhou is nothing more than Huguang and the two governors of Henan join forces to continue to attack me, which will be of no help. If you go west to Yanshi, Xiping, or Chen, Ying, or Ru if you go west to Yanshi, or you go west to Chen, Ying, or you go south to Ru if you go west to Yanshi, or you go west to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go south to Yanshi, or you go

It is better to abandon your foundation and ignore it, and you have to do it."

"Therefore, the general is to fight, and he can fight!"

"In my opinion, the two governors of Huguang and Henan are not enough to control me, and if they are united, I am not enough to control the enemy. Therefore, one must defend and one attack, break one place first, and then make a decision."

"The governor of Huguang, Tang Hui, was so angry that he had never seen his ability in the past. Only the new governor of Henan, Fu Zonglong, has a great reputation, and can catch the general off guard with fast and slowness, and it is considered a great enemy."

"The timid one is timid, and the vigorous one is brave. The cowardly one is good at defending but not for attack; the vigorous one is good at attacking but not for defense. Therefore, I thought that the general should guard Huguang and cowardly one is good at defending the south, and attack the reckless ones in Henan from the north, and then
