Zhu Yukun, Huang Shaoqiu, Lu Shijun and other nine naval officers came out of the temple and looked at the corpses on the ground and more than 2,000 Lu private soldiers kneeling on the ground with shock. Although they knew that Wang Junlin It was definitely not that easy to kill. I thought that Wang Junlin would lead a small group of people to break through the encirclement in the end, but I didn't expect that the final result would be that the Lu family, who had an absolute advantage in military strength, was defeated by the prefect, and was completely defeated.
Nine people strode to Wang Junlin, who was talking to Nie Xiaoyu, and bowed. Zhu Yukun, the captain of Guoyi, took the lead and said: "Congratulations to the prefect, the prefect is indeed invincible. The Lu family's rebels are really clowns." .”
Wang Junlin looked at the nine people with a calm expression and said: "Geng Wanhu, the captain of Guoyi stationed in the Navy, conspired to rebel last night, and the blue-clad guards got the news and entered the camp to kill him."
When the nine people heard this, their hearts trembled. Then they realized that the water division camp was not stable last night, and that the prefect had already made arrangements. After looking at each other, they said in unison: "The prefect is wise."
Wang Junlin waved his hand and said: "Don't say these nonsense, you should return to the navy camp immediately. Huang Shaoqiu will stay in the camp and be responsible for clearing out all the remnants of Dou Shihai and Geng Wanhu. I will give you half an hour to gather the other eight people. Among my own soldiers, Zhu Yukun will lead 1,500 people, and the other seven will each lead 500 people. A total of 5,000 people will gather here and follow me to wipe out the rebel Lu family."
Huang Shaoqiu looked ugly and said anxiously: "Sir, even though I am humbled by my position, I want to join you in annihilating the rebels and doing meritorious service."
The other eight people looked happy. They knew that the Lu family no longer had these three thousand private soldiers. Now the governor had too much evidence to prove that the Lu family had rebelled. The situation of the Lu family was over. Following the governor at this time was a meritorious service, and afterwards the navy The positions of a lieutenant general and three captains of Guoyi who were vacated internally were mostly determined based on their achievements in countering the rebellion. Except for Zhu Yukun, who considered himself to be the captain of Guoyi with the highest official position in the Navy, the prefect had to Except for themselves, the other seven people all believed that they had a private meeting with the prefect last night. In fact, the prefect did make a promise to them at that time. Although there were more people, at least they were better than Huang Shaoqiu!
The nine people took their orders one after another. Wang Junlin gave Huang Shaoqiu a meaningful look, and the latter nodded lightly. Then each of the nine navy generals found a war horse and rushed to the navy camp.
Wang Junlin said to Yuchi Jingde who was waiting next to him: "Brother Yuchi can leave now to take your mother to Fanyang County. I and my junior sister will treat your mother."
Yuchi Jingde took a deep look at Wang Junlin and said, "I hope the prefect can keep his word."
After saying that, he gave Wang Junlin a fist and left with a thousand bandits.
Wang Junlin knew that the Lu family's ancestral home, the Lujia Town where it was located, and the nearby Lu family's tenants and Lu family's descendants had tens of thousands of people. When he went to the Lu family's ancestral home, he had to bring enough people with him to be able to overwhelm the people. There is no need for trouble to occur. At this time, if you bring Yuchi Jingde's thousand bandits over there, it will only add fuel to the fire and get people talking. So just send Yuchi Jingde back.
"Xiao Yu, follow the plan! Huang Shaoqiu will cooperate with you and force some soldiers in the Navy who are close to Dou Shihai to rebel, and then put them down. These people are rebel soldiers, and they will all be killed according to the laws of the Sui Dynasty. You and Huang Shaoqiu will play a role After a scene, rescue them and smuggle them to Snake Island. Together with the hundreds of rebel soldiers you took away with the Blue Guards last night, there will be two thousand people. You can stay on Snake Island and personally Train them, and these people will be our navy team."
Nie Xiaoyu nodded and said: "There are too many people. I need Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong and their five hundred soldiers to accompany me."
Wang Junlin nodded and said, "Okay, Shan Xiongxin and the remaining soldiers will just follow me."
Nie Xiaoyu looked at the soldiers who were treating the injured and collecting the corpses, and said: "There are only 215 uninjured soldiers. Isn't the number too small?"
Wang Junlin said: "Just let the two boys, Xin'er and Xuanba, stay. I guess the battle will not be small when we go to the Lu family's ancestral home. Let them have more knowledge and experience."
When Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba heard this, their eyes lit up and their faces were excited. These two guys are violent maniacs. When they heard that the fight was not small, they knew that there must be many fights to be fought.
Nie Xiaoyu and his five hundred cavalry did not go to the navy camp immediately. They had to wait for Zhu Yukun, Lu Shijun and eight others to arrive with five thousand navy officers and soldiers before leaving.
At this time, Guan Xiaotong came to report: "Your Majesty, I have collected 2,754 Lu clan horses, 3,000 sets of fine armor, 1,000 knives, 2,000 spears, and 800 long bows."
When Wang Junlin heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. Although they had won a great victory today, their losses were not small. Half of the 500 soldiers were left. These horses, armor and weapons were their biggest gains.
"Sir, what should I do with these two thousand captives?" Xiang Xiang asked.
Wang Junlin hesitated for a moment and said to Nie Xiaoyu: "Send them to Snake Island and let them build barracks, cultivate fertile farmland, and a port. There is also a weapons workshop to be built on Snake Island, which lacks a lot of labor."
At this time, a group of soldiers hurriedly came from the direction of Rongcheng County. Only the leader of a dozen soldiers was riding a horse, and the others were running behind.
"It should be that Rongcheng County Magistrate Guan Fengping got the news and came with the county soldiers to rescue." Xiang Xiang took a look and said.
Soon these people arrived, and Wang Junlin saw that besides Guan Fengping, there were also Guo'er and the Four Swordsmen and more than ten masters.
Guan Fengping looked at the corpses on the ground and the more than 2,000 kneeling prisoners with a look of surprise. He trotted up to Wang Junlin, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am late to rescue you. Please forgive me, Lord Prefect."
Wang Junlin glanced at the county soldiers who were about to die and were sitting on the ground holding trees and stones to rest. There were only about seven hundred in number. Guan Fengping followed Wang Junlin's eyes and couldn't help but blush and said with embarrassment.
: "The lower officials are here in a hurry. These county soldiers have no horses to carry them, so they are running out of strength."
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "Master Guan is too polite. This cannot be blamed on Master Guan. Master Guan came just in time. Half of the soldiers around me were killed or injured. I still have important matters to deal with. Could you please help restrain the soldiers?"
Corpses, treat the wounded soldiers, and temporarily place them in Rongcheng County."
Guan Fengping immediately said: "Don't worry, sir, I will leave this matter to my subordinates and we will never let the soldiers suffer any injustice."
Wang Junlin said: "There are still corpses of thieves. You should also take some people to deal with them!"
