In the prefect's yamen, Lu Junyi took the generals around the mansion, then returned to the hall and said to Yan Qing: "Immediately post the Anmin notice, and at the same time, let the soldiers ring the gong and tell the people in the city that the officers and soldiers have recovered Baofeng.

In the future, the people will not be bullied by the anti-military army again, so they will not be worried about what they should do."

"Yes." Yan Qing took the order and went out.

"General Suo, go to the prison and release all the people caught by the anti-army." Lu Junyi then said to Suo Chao.

"Yes." Suo Chao also went out after receiving the order.

Lu Junyi looked at the other generals and asked, "How are our casualties?"

Wang Jin said: "We have little casualties. We only killed 124 soldiers in battle and injured 276."

"What about the casualties of the anti-military army?" Lu Junyi asked again.

Wang Jin said: "General Jiang Jing is counting, and I guess you will know in a while."

After a moment, Suo Chao came back and said, "Report to the general that there were only some rogues who stole the people's property in the prison, and there were no people who were wronged."

"oh!"

Lu Junyi looked at the generals on both sides and said, "Previously, we would release many innocent persecuted people from the prison every time we went, but there were only rascals and no innocent people here. This was a bit strange."

Suo Chao said: "According to the yamen guarding the prison, Wu Shun, the general of Baofeng, took great care of the people and issued a strict ban to prohibit his soldiers from harming the people. Those who violated the orders had engaged in military law, so the people in Baofeng City had never been

No one who has been bullied by the anti-military army, nor has he been innocently caught in prison." M. caset

Lu Junyi nodded slightly and said, "It seems that Wu Shun is still a gentleman, but I don't know why he wants to join the anti-military army?"

Zhuo said: "Eighty times, like Bei Zhi and Lao He, they were forced to participate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jing walked in from outside, saluted Lu Junyi and said, "Report to the general that the number of casualties in the anti-military army has been counted. A total of 1,334 people died and fled.

More than 13,000 people, all the others were captured.”

Just as Lu Junyi was about to speak, a soldier walked in from outside and said, "Report to General Lu, General Lu, General Guo, General Han, General Peng, General He, General Long and others are back and are waiting for summoning."

"Please invite them in quickly." Lu Junyi said.

The soldiers went out for a while, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Han Tao, Peng Yan, He Ji, and Long Shou walked in from outside and saluted Lu Junyi together and said, "Go to General Lu."

"Dear generals, don't be too polite." Lu Junyi said.

"General Xielu."

Lu Junyi asked, "How many generals have gained?"

Lu Fangxian said: "Reporting to General Lu, Bei Zhi and General Guo intercepted Lei Biao, Shi Chong and 3,000 anti-army soldiers at Ximen. Lei Biao and Shi Chong refused to surrender, led their troops to fight fiercely with Bei Zhi, and were defeated by Bei Zhi and General Guo.

Killed, the soldiers they led were killed 1,097 people, and the rest were all captured."

Then Han Tao said: "Beizhi and General Peng intercepted Wang Gan and Zhang Bu outside the North Gate. The two of them refused to surrender and were killed by Beizhi and General Peng. The soldiers they led were 2,123.

Except for the killing, all the others were captured.”

Lu Junyi nodded slightly, then looked at He Ji, Long Tao, and He Ji said: "We intercepted Baofeng's chief general Wu Shun outside the east gate. Wu Shun did not resist and led his troops to surrender, so there were no casualties."

"Where is Wushun now?" "Lu Junyi said.

"It's outside the mansion." He Ji said.

Lu Junyi said, "Bring him in."

The soldier went out to bring Wu Shun in. Lu Junyi looked at Wu Shun and asked, "Wu Shun, what did you do before?"

"Report to the general, the villain used to be the head of Baofeng City." Wu Shun said.

Lu Junyi said: "Since you are the head of Baofeng City, why should you join Wang Qing's anti-army?"

Wu Shun talked about his participation in Wang Qing's anti-military process. Lu Junyi pondered for a moment and said, "You were forced to join Wang Qing's anti-military process, and you were polite to the people during your stay in Baofeng City and did not do anything that would harm the world.

, So as long as you are willing to surrender to the court and guarantee that you will not betray again, I will avoid you from dying, are you willing?"

Wu Shun originally thought he was dead, but he didn't expect that Lu Junyi actually gave him another chance to survive. Without thinking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The villain is willing to surrender to the court and promises not to betray him again."

Lu Junyi immediately asked someone to remove the rope from him, and then asked Shi Jin to take him to persuade the captured soldiers to surrender.

Lu Junyi and his team did not stay in Baofeng City for too long, so they only took a day off. The next day they led their troops to continue their journey. Because the officials appointed by the court did not follow them, he asked Jiang Jing to lead 10,000 people to stay to defend the city, waiting for

When will the officials appointed by the court take office, he will leave again?

Since Lu Junyi was delayed for three days in Baofeng City, he was anxious, so he urged the soldiers to hurry up so that he could arrive in Xijing as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the cities they encountered during the past journey, the anti-army garrisons knew that they had many powerful troops and did not dare to be enemies with them. They abandoned the city and fled before their army arrived. Therefore, they did not encounter any further difficulties along the way.

It was very smooth and we arrived thirty miles south of Xijing City.

Because it was already afternoon, Lu Junyi did not go to war immediately, but asked the soldiers to set up camp, rest for one night, and then go to war tomorrow morning.

In the city of Xijing.

When the Song army, the guard general Gong Duan, arrived, hurriedly called his subordinate general Xi Sheng, and wanted to discuss a countermeasure with him.

Xi Sheng was born in a wealthy family. His father asked a famous teacher to teach him military strategies and martial arts since he was a child. He hoped that one day he would become an official in the court and glorify his ancestors. Unfortunately, this guy refused to learn well, and made friends with a group of bandits in the world and ruined his family property.

, his father was so angry that he even pulled a group of people up the mountain to serve as a bandit, and he robbed the house all day long. The government sent troops to clean up the house, but he was always beaten to flee.

Later, Wang Qing rebelled. Seeing that Wang Qing was in great power, he took his subordinates to join Wang Qing. With the military strategies he had learned before, he captured the cities and lands, and was invincible. Therefore, he was named General of the Army and sent to him by Wang Qing.

Xijing assisted Gong Duan.

Xi Sheng received the order and came to see Gong Duan immediately. After Gong Duan asked him to sit down, he said with a sad face: "The 100,000 Song army has arrived thirty miles south of the city. How should we deal with the enemy?"

Xi Sheng said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry. Hu Zi has learned all the skills from famous teachers since childhood and is proficient in formations. Not to mention that the Song army is just 100,000, even 200,000 or 300,000, Hu Zi doesn't care about it.

After tomorrow, Beizhi led his troops to challenge the Song army and let them know how powerful Beizhi is."

Although Gong Duan also knew that Xi Sheng had some skills, he was still a little worried when he thought that the Song army had 100,000 people and said, "Although General Xi is very capable, the Song army is powerful after all, so we should not be too careless.

”

Xi Sheng heard Gong Duan say this, obviously he didn't believe in his ability and felt a little unhappy. However, Gong Duan was the main general after all, and he was also the fake Xuanfu envoy of Wang Qingqinfeng. His position was higher than him, so he was not easy to face him.

Refuting his face, he said, "Tomorrow, I will go to fight with the Song army. If I fail to win, I will be willing to give my superiors a title."

Seeing that Xi Sheng insisted on fighting with the Song army, Gong Duan said, "Since the general insisted on fighting with the Song army, I will lead 10,000 cavalry to ambush behind Yique Mountain tomorrow, if

If you win, I will lead my troops to pick you up if there is danger."

Although Xi Sheng felt that Gong Duan did this a little extravagant, he also understood that Gong Duan was for his own good, so he did not object and said with a fist: "Thank you, General, thank you for your humble position."

The two of them said something more, and then Xi Sheng left.

Jingnan here.

Hua Ju and his friends also arrived fifteen miles away from Jingnan and ordered the soldiers to set up camp. He took Wen Huanzhang, Guan Sheng, Sun An and others around Jingnan City to watch the city defense situation in Jingnan.

In the city of Jingnan, the former prefect's mansion.

Liang Yong, the governor of Jingnan, had received a report from the detective. Knowing that the Song army had arrived, he immediately brought four subordinates to Guo Cheng, Mo Qing, Lan Yuegao, Hu Mingshan, and the former second-hand general Mi who fled here.

Tang, Lanhu, Yu Zhen and Gao Guang came to discuss countermeasures together.

"Dear generals, the Song army is at the city, and seeing that Jingnan City is in danger, I will bring you all the generals together and hope that everyone can discuss a countermeasure to protect Jingnan." Liang Yong said.

Mi Tang said: "General, with the current morale and strength of the Song army, we cannot compete with them head-on. We can only close the city gate and wait for assistance. This is the best strategy."

Mi Tang, Blue Tiger, Yu Zhen, Gaoguang failed to ambush Lu Junyi. He was originally planning to escape back to Shannan City, but he heard that Shannan Prefecture had been lost halfway, so the four of them discussed and went here to join Liang Yong, because they had previously been with

Liang Yong met, and he was more valued than he was to defect to others.

Guo Cheng said: "It is not a solution to just rely on defending the support. After all, our food can only last for twenty days. If the reinforcements do not come within twenty days, then wouldn't we sit and wait for death?

Therefore, with the humble opinion, we should take the initiative to attack and take advantage of their unstable foothold to go to the camp tonight and catch them off guard. Only in this way can we truly achieve the goal of defending the enemy."

"General Guo said it well."

Mo Xu said: "The Song army has more troops than us, and we can also continuously supply food from Shannan Prefecture and other places. If we defend the city, if reinforcements cannot arrive in time, then our tens of thousands of troops will be in danger.

Therefore, we can only achieve the effect of annihilation of the enemy's defense of the city by surprise by giving the Song army a head-on attack."

Guo Cheng and Mo Xu's proposal were supported by Lan Yuegao and Hu Mingshan, while Mi Tang's proposal was approved by Lan Tiger, Yu Zhen and Gao Guang, because they personally fought with Song Jun and knew that Hua Ju and others were not as good as before.

It was difficult for the Song army to attack them in a sneak attack. Maybe it would be like they wanted to ambush Lu Junyi, and they ended up being wiped out.

When Liang Yong heard the opinions of both parties and was thinking about what method to take, a soldier suddenly ran away and said, "Report to General, a group of Song generals are surrounding us in Jingnan City to inquire."

"Where are they outside the city now?" Liang Yong asked.

The soldier said, "I was just outside the North City, and now I am heading towards the West City."

"Go to West City."
