The wavering factions in the early stages of the rebellion must be intellectuals, or those who have a close connection with the old bureaucratic system of rule.

Lu Si's words came true, and the thing he was most worried about finally happened.

When the Southern Army had just captured Baoying County, as the "leader" of the Huai Army who was promoted by everyone, Yu Huaishu did not adopt the opinions given by Lu Si to "promote peace" but took the correct path he thought - just like Song Jiang on Liangshan, he tried to seek reunion from the government.

Since the "rebellion group" led by Lu Si carried out a series of "criminal" activities after entering Huaian City and several outrageous family extermination incidents broke out, and these incidents would inevitably affect the government's perception of the Huai Army, Yu Huaishu did several things after repeated thinking.

The first thing is to appease the rich and gentry who were not robbed but were "forced donated" by the Huai Army of the four ministries of Lu, and to show them that the Huai Army would never have any "disturbance" behavior in the future, and please let them worry about it.

In order to show that he and the Huai Army were just officials who forced the people to resist themselves and had no intention of creating the determination and sincerity of the court to rebel, Yu Huaishu even took out some of the money left to him by Lu Si to compensate these gentry and wealthy families.

This move was warmly welcomed by the gentry and wealthy families, and brought Yu Huaishu a reputation for benevolence and righteousness.

The second thing was that after obtaining the support of Mr. Wang Er, Qin Wu, Guo Laosi and others, Yu Huaishu beheaded dozens of Hegongs who broke into private houses and asked for money in public, and asked the gentry and the people to observe the punishment to show the strict military discipline of the Huai Army.

The third thing is that at the suggestion of Wang Yunduan, who was forced to be the captain of the corpse collection team when the former Ministry of Justice raised the official of the grain transport yamen, and Lu Si was forced to be the captain of the corpse collection team when he was "managing" Huai'an, the letter of Yu Huai Shu entrusted all the officials of the former grain transport yamen, the prefect yamen and the Shanyang County yamen to restore the original order in the city.

The fourth and most important thing is that Yu Huai Shu sent people to contact the gentry and landlords who had already begun to build villages and protect themselves near Huai'an City, indicating that the Huai Army had no intention of attacking them. At the same time, people in the city were allowed to enter and exit freely, and most people entering the city were not searched.

Yu Huaishu believes that doing so can make the real situation in Huaian City reach the government, especially the governor of the canal transport who did not know where to escape, so that the other party would definitely send someone to negotiate with the Huai Army.

Guo Laosi privately believed that Mr. Yu was too unpredictable to do this. If the government was as unwilling to invite them as Lu Si said, wouldn’t Huai'an be full of spies in the government? Is it true that the truth and reality are all revealed?

Qin Wu said that there was no need to scare himself. Not to mention that the government army did not dare to fight, even if they really dared to come, there were 40,000 Huai troops in the city, and Guan Guard told them to come and go without going back.

"Besides, we have the Southern Army of Lu Si brothers. If something really happens, Lu Si brothers will not ignore us."

When talking about Lu Si brothers, Qin Wu felt no guilt at all. It seemed that when Lu Si was there, he had never dared to see others for several days.

That being said, Guo Laosi was still a little worried. The old saying was that scholars rebelled and wouldn’t it be successful for ten years?

Mr. Yu is a good person and really wants to find a way out for the tens of thousands of brothers in the city, but it seems a bit too naive.

Therefore, in case of precautions, Guo Laosi still "forced" Qin Wu and him to strengthen the city defense so as not to be taken advantage of by the officers and soldiers.

Hard work pays off. After inquiring from many sources, Wang Yunduan immediately informed Yu Huai's letter after learning that the Cao Road Supervision Department had just arrived in Andong and suggested that the other party send people to Andong to explain their thoughts, otherwise, once the official army really came to surround him, the Huai army would be unfavorable to the people in the city.

Yu Huai Shu adopted Wang Yunduan's suggestion and asked him to go to Anton with Mr. Wang Er, so that Anton could believe in the sincerity of the Huai Army's surrender.

The situation was very smooth. Mr. Wang Er met with the Governor of the Cao Transport as he wished, submitted a handwritten letter from Yu Huai Shu, and told the story about the cause and effect.

Of course, in order to avoid the bad feelings of the Caoyuan and suspected that the Huai Army would surrender, Mr. Wang Er did not dare to say that the Huai Army was divided between the north and the south, nor did he say that the Huai'an General Zhang Pengyi was killed all over the family.

When he came, Yu Huaishu reminded him that if no one asked about this matter, he would not talk about it, and if someone asked about it, he would talk about it. Even if the Huaian General Zhang Pengyi wanted to investigate it later, there were various excuses, such as the matter could be pushed to the murdered rebel Li Shiyuan.

In order to protect the people in Huai'an City, and to have a good view of Yu Huai's book, Wang Yunduan, who was determined to make contributions to persuade tens of thousands of rebels, did not explain this matter when the Lu and the Ministry of Justice was summoned separately afterwards.

For Lu Zhenfei, who was so anxious that he didn't know how to explain to the court, the sudden surrender of tens of thousands of "thieves" was simply a great joy from heaven. He immediately replied to the "leader" Yu Huai, "leader" of Huai'an, indicating that as long as he truly led his subordinates to surrender to the court, the Governor of the Grain Transportation Office would not only not blame them for rebelling and destroying the city, but also wrote to the court for the Huai Army to request a battalion system, and from then on the Grain Governor's official military command of the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Zhenfei did not deceive Mr. Wang Er, but really wanted to include this Huai Army with tens of thousands of people under his command.

It was just because he believed that these river workers were indeed forced to rebel by the river supervisors of Wu Gao's army. They were essentially good people and were all young and strong. If they were to make good use of them, they would definitely defend the river troops.

On the other hand, he, the subordinates of the Ministry and the Academy, really had no soldiers to use. Huai'an General Zhang Pengyi was polite to him, the invading officer, but in fact he ignored him.

Zheng Zhibao, who could rely on his confidant, had already led his troops to Anton, but Zheng's men could only have 1,500 soldiers. Although there were 3,000 young and strong men recruited in the north, they were not able to use it without training.

Whether Jin Shenghuan in Si County is willing to accept the order is also a question. Liu Zeqing from Shandong has not set off for a long time, so although he has been sending messages to various places for several days, he carefully calculated that there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses that the department and the department can control. How could he recover Huai'an and quell the thieves and chaos by relying solely on this little man?

Now that the thief takes the initiative to surrender, Lu Zhenfei is of course unable to ask for it. If things go well, he is willing to guarantee the Yu Huai Shu to the court, Wen Ze gives birth to a county, and Wu Ze at least guerrillas.

At this point, Yu Huaishu's efforts to "whitewash" the Huai Army and strive for benefits should have received a positive response and will be successfully achieved.

However, what neither Lu Zhenfei nor Yu Huaishu expected was that Huai'an General Zhang Pengyi became the barrier between them.

Huai'an General Zhang Pengyi refused to accept the order of the Ministry of the Road and the Ministry of Justice to suspend the march. Instead, he accelerated his march towards Huai'an and fought with Guanglafu along the way, forcing all the gentry and men who built villages and protected themselves as subordinates, and tens of thousands of people rushed towards Huai'an.

"If the department and the court receive surrendered thieves, my Zhang family will have more than 100 blood debts. Who will I report to?"

As early as three days ago, Zhang Pengyi knew that his eldest son and the family were killed. The news came out of the news that Yu Huaishu valued was an old gentry who was respected by the three juren of the family, and the respected old gentry in Huai'an City.

In order to motivate his subordinates to kill the thieves and take revenge, Zhang Pengyi promised that he could rob his subordinates for three days after breaking the city.

The same promise was also being performed by the Yellow River more than 300 miles away, but the person who said this was Dong Xueli, the general of the Shun Army Huaiqing.

Dong Yuan was the deputy general of the Ming Hua Machi. When Li Zicheng captured Shaanxi, he surrendered to the Shun Army and was appointed as the general of Huaiqing by Li Zicheng. He had 20,000 or 30,000 troops under his command, but most of them surrendered to the Shun Ming Army.

Dong Xueli promised that after the city was destroyed, Pei County, Xuzhou Prefecture, could be washed away.

He did not come to attack Pei County, and he led the army with him, Lu Bizhou, the newly appointed Henan Jiedushi, who was originally the deputy envoy of Henan. After Sun Chuanting was defeated, he saw that the Ming Dynasty had been completely defeated and surrendered to Shun, and was named Henan Jiedushi by Li Zicheng.

If Pei County is down, Xuzhou's gate will be opened. If Xuzhou can be captured in one go, more than 30,000 Shun Army will direct its troops to Huai'an, and then go to Yangzhou to drink horses and Yangtze River!

"If you can win this time, Your Majesty will be happy. You and I are both great-shusband and meritorious people, and you may not be able to be granted the title of marquis with this!"

Although the Henan Jiedushi Lu Bizhou, who was nearly fifty years old, was a civil servant, he rode on horseback like a group of military generals in the Shun Army.

Ten days ago, Xi'an sent a fast horse to the area controlled by the Shun Army, saying that King Xinshun would ascend the throne in Xi'an City and proclaim himself emperor, and his reign was Yongchang. He asked all places to prepare congratulatory seals and start the governance of the local governments of the Dashun Dynasty to stabilize people's livelihood.

"We are indeed able to go to Huaiyang in one fell swoop. Although we have made contributions, Huaiyang Lu is even more of a great man. The governor can ask His Majesty for his contributions, so that the righteous will not feel disappointed."

The person who spoke was Wu Su, a former Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty. This man surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Lu Bizhou and was now a defensive envoy who was dedicated to placing Xu and Pei.

"That's natural. If the Ming Dynasty was full of such righteous teachers and righteous people, why worry about my great support and new dynasty's prosperity!"

Amid Lv Bizhou's laughter, thousands of people from Dong Xue's rituals rushed towards the walls of Pei County.

On the 28th day of the 16th year of Chongzhen, more than 30,000 Henan Shun Army crossed the Yellow River and attacked Huaiyang.
