Chapter 69: Offensive and Defensive Transformation

When Zhang Shun saw He Renlong volunteering, how could he refuse?

The reason why he hit these people was because they were unwilling to take the initiative and deliberately paddling.

Zhang Shun smiled and said, "Since that's the case, there's something really wrong, you must!"

"As the saying goes: It's impolite to come but not to go. If the 'right stubborn stone' doesn't hit him for a few days, his skin is so itchy that he dares to come and compete with our army for the city? Tomorrow morning, I must give him some excitement!"

Is this going to take the initiative? To be honest, for so long, the food and grass were consumed like flowing water. Li Xin and others had already felt so distressed.

Li Xin was so excited when he heard this, he stepped forward and advised, "The method of attacking the city is a last resort and it took time to take place. I expected that Zuo Liangyu would definitely not know about King Shun himself, so why not attack him at night to achieve miraculous results?"

Niu Jinxing followed Zhang Shun to the north, and the two of them negotiated repeatedly along the way. He had already figured out Zhang Shun's thoughts clearly.

So Niu Jinxing smiled meaningfully and said, "General Li is a good plan, only knowing one but not the other. King Shun seems to be here, but his intention is to him. This move is called "knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, and fighting the cow across the mountain, which is unpredictable to look at it!"

Li Xin was stunned and hurriedly asked about the reason. Niu Jinxing told him carefully, and Li Xin couldn't help but exclaim.

Let’s talk about it in two ways, let’s not talk about how Zhang Shun cares about it. Let’s talk about the fact that the general officer of Changping Zuo Liangyu has been unfavorable in recent years.

With the help of his noble man Hou Xun, he led his elite soldiers and was defeated many times, and he was really ashamed of his old friend.

Finally, this time the opponent was not the "Suzuki" himself, but it was defeated by the unknown person. This was really a great humiliation.

After Zuo Liangyu retreated to Yuzhou, he was still in a state of depression.

However, because he had only one battalion of troops under his command, he was unable to find the place.

Therefore, in addition to drinking and having fun every day, Zuo Liangyu wrote to Fu Zonglong, strongly demanding the army of officers and soldiers to send troops to Jiaxian and fight to the death with the rebel army.

Where did Henan Governor Fu Zonglong pay attention to him? After repeated urging, Zuo Liangyu had to stay in Yuzhou honestly to see how he responded.

Early this morning, Zuo Liangyu had just practiced bow and horses and was sweating profusely, and was about to go back and wipe it.

The soldiers rushed over and went up to report: "General, the thieves suddenly led a large army to attack the city, and they had already reached outside the city!"

Zuo Liangyu was shocked when he heard this, then went back to the room and put on his armor. Then he led his personal guards to the city and saw that the south of the city was like a forest, with distinctive armor, and there were probably five or six thousand people.

Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but hold her hands and smiled, "Just relying on this little man, I want to capture the city where Zuo is stationed?"

"Come and prepare a pen with me ink, paper and inkstone. I want a letter to the Fujun and ask him to send troops to come quickly, just to avenge his previous shame!"

The military strategy says: If ten times, surround them, five times, attack them, and if twice, divide them.

The rebel army is only twice as many as the officers and soldiers, so of course it is difficult to capture a defensive city.

As a former general, Zuo Liangyu knew this well but was not very worried.

Yuzhou is the ancient Junzhou, and it is famous all over the world for its "one of the five famous porcelains".

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, "the Central Plains states suffered the most in the wars of the Yuanji War, and there were few residents in the Wuqiu Mountains." As a result, the porcelain industry was in a slump and could only produce daily crude porcelain.

Fortunately, Yuzhou has a good location and foundation, and has become one of the four major medicinal materials markets in the country.

The Rebel Army often used the "Gold Bushang" to treat sword injuries, Baiyao, its main ingredients, Panax notoginseng, Frankincense, Myrrh and other medicinal materials were purchased from here.

When it was Wanli, in order to avoid the taboo of Emperor Zhu Yijun, the place was renamed Yuzhou.

Yuzhou City is more than nine miles in circumference, with four gates in total, even larger than the eight miles and three hundred and forty steps in Luoyang City.

This place controls Bian, Luo suburbs, connects to Ru, Ying's path (Ying, called Xuzhou). The mountains and rivers are winding, and the situation is dangerous and solid.

Once there is a warning, this is a concern. If its roots reach Huai, Mian, rely on Xiang and Deng, and traverse northward, the gap cannot be limited, and Chenggao is not worthy of dependence.

In the past, the Mongolians attacked the Jin people in Henan and first captured Junzhou but Bian was unable to defend it.

Although Zuo Liangyu could not know such details, he also knew that this place was a major transportation route, and Henan Governor Fu Zonglong would definitely not abandon it.

The officers and soldiers took advantage of the fact that the rebel army had not yet had time to siege the city, and hurriedly sent more than ten cavalry out and headed straight for Xuzhou in the southeast.

Zhang Shun could see clearly outside the city that he had prepared cavalry and followed. Then, he ordered He Renlong to lead his troops to attack tentatively.

Yuzhou is in a strong city, and there are old generals who guard the city. How can they go down in an instant?

Not to mention how the two sides attacked and defended under Yuzhou City, let alone that the messenger left Yuzhou City and no one stopped him along the way.

When Yuzhou arrived in Xuzhou ninety miles, the soldiers rushed to Xuzhou City that night.

Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan in Xuzhou City, had just finished his dinner and was watching the letters sent by Zhu Dadian, the governor of the canal transportation and the governor of Fengyang.

At this time, the servant reported the matter to him and then presented the letter with Zuo Liangyu's messenger.

Fu Zonglong opened the letter with a dark face and looked at it for a few times, threw it aside and said, "I understand, go down!"

When the messenger heard this, he said something wrong and knelt down and begged: "The thieves are full of pits and valleys, and they are everywhere. All the people of Yuzhou are looking forward to it. Please send troops to rescue the siege as soon as possible..."

"You have a lot of words, have you memorized them in advance?" Fu Zonglong snorted coldly when he heard this, "What is it worth just two battalions of troops?"

"Tell your general, just say what our court said, let him hold Yuzhou for half a month, he will be the first to be the result of his success!"

The Henan Governor Fu Zonglong was given the title of Right Assistant Censor of the Censorate, and the full name was Right Assistant Censor of Henan and other places, so he called himself this court.

"This..." The messenger was Zuo Liangyu's confidant and spoke sharply, so Zuo Liangyu specially sent him here.

Sure enough, this man lived up to his expectations and questioned: "This city is dead, and people are alive. Although there are few thieves now, it does not mean that there are always fewer. If the thieves see our army weak and wait for an opportunity to siege, I am worried that General Zuo will be unable to resist and will ruin the major event of Fu Army!"

"If you can't resist, you have to resist!" Fu Zonglong snorted coldly and scolded sternly, "The court has raised scholars for three hundred years, and is today's loyalty for justice!"

"I know what you are, tell you the truth!"

"Now that the two thieves of Cao came east, and Zhou Fan was in crisis, and Zhu Dadian, the governor of the grain transportation and the governor of Fengyang, led more than 10,000 elite troops to follow him. If our court waited for an opportunity to intercept him, he would definitely be able to attack him in one fell swoop."

"Then merge one place, rush the army eastward, break the 'Shun Bid', enter the westward Sishui, the two passes of Zhuoyuan, the Heluo can be restored, and the world can be settled!"

"Otherwise, the thieves attacked each other in front and behind, and we could not defend them, so that the thieves joined forces and the world would be ruined!"
