Chapter 42 The Master Becomes the Emperor

Lu Si didn't know how many defenders there were in Huai'an City. If there were tens of thousands of troops stationed in the city, not to mention tens of thousands of river workers, even if there were tens of thousands more, he would not dare to attack Huai'an City.

At this time, the defeated soldiers need to provide accurate information.

Since Sun Wujin dared to persuade Lu Si to lead Hegong to attack Huai'an City, he must have known some of the details of the defenders in the city, otherwise he would not dare to say anything that would help.

These defeated soldiers are actually very powerful. They will not do anything stupid, just like they wisely give up and resist.

"Mr. Lu doesn't know that the garrison in Huai'an City is a group of troops from Fujian and is affiliated with the Baekhail Governor's Yamen Biaoying, but the number of people in this Baekhail is not large, it seems... Yes, there are only three thousand people, and the leader is a deputy general named Zheng. But Mr. Lu don't worry, these soldiers were originally working in the navy. They could ask them to fight water battles, and those who are all outsiders in the infantry battles... So as long as Mr. Lu trusts the young people, the young people will definitely help Mr. Lu clean up the Fujian soldiers!"

Sun Wujin did know the background of Huai'an City.

However, in fact, not only are there 3,000 Fujian soldiers in Huai'an City, but also more than 2,000 general soldiers under the Grain Transport Governor.

Most of these sub-grabbers were adapted from the former Dahewei garrison soldiers. They were used to manage the canal work and collect taxes at the canal checkpoints. If they were asked to fight, they would probably not even be able to defeat these migrant workers.

So Sun Wujin, an old soldier who had fought with Jin Shenghuan for several years, did not take these tax collectors seriously.

The three conjunctions of Fujian, Navy and Zheng family made Lu Si think of Zheng Zhilong at the first time.

I couldn't help but wonder why the Zheng family's soldiers were not staying in Fujian, and why did they travel thousands of miles to Huaiyang?

This is why he didn't know the relationship between Lu Zhenfei, the new governor of Huaiyang, and the Zheng family.

If it were known that the Ministry of the Road was able to become an official in Beijing because of his military achievements in fighting against Hong Maoyi and making military contributions with the Zheng family, and then came to Huaiyang to take charge of the overall situation, Lu Si would definitely not have such doubts.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong was already a real power faction in Fujian, and his power was developing northward. Later, the Yangtze River Navy of the Hongguang Dynasty took the Zheng family naval army as its main force. Unfortunately, until Nanjing surrendered, the Zheng family naval army did not play any role.

Zheng Zhilong, who was a pirate, has always wanted to expand his power, so he not only asked his younger brother Zheng Zhibao to lead troops north to Huaiyang, but also learned that Shi Kefa, a member of the Donglin Party, became the Minister of War in Nanjing, so he asked his eldest son Zheng Sen to Nanjing to serve as the leader of Donglin Qianyi, and his intention to curry favor with the Donglin Party was Sima Zhao's heart.

Donglin must be very welcomed. Later, Zheng Zhilong supported the Tang Dynasty King Zhu You to enter Fujian, and there were many members of the Donglin Fushe in the Longwu court.

"Although the Fujian soldiers are not good at fighting in the infantry, there are still three thousand. Although we have many river workers, we have a hasty uprising. If the Fujian soldiers are closed and cannot stand behind, how can we get out of Huai'an City?"

No matter how the three thousand Fujian soldiers came from, Lu Si first calculated. 3,000 soldiers were not a small number. If they really fought, they would not be able to defeat them like dealing with these Jianhe Army, so the chance of victory was not great.

If these 3,000 Fujian soldiers gave him Lu Si Ye a river engineer team that could not stand and had no siege equipment at all could only sigh at the city. If they were delayed under the city for a long time, the "Lu Si Group" would face heavy encirclement and suppression from both north and south, and the situation was not optimistic.

"This requires Mr. Lu to move quickly!"

Sun Wujin's words made Lu Si's eyes move: "What do you mean?"

"Although Mr. Lu is hasty in his reign, he is afraid that he will be confused because of this haste. In this way, Mr. Lu has the opportunity to take advantage of..."

Sun Wujin's idea was very simple. Before the officials in Huai'an City came to their senses, they would let their defeated soldiers pretend to be the Hehe Army and enter the city as the Supervisor Army. When Lu Si led most of the Hegong headquarters to attack the city, they would cooperate inside and outside, so that Huai'an City would definitely be able to go down in one fell swoop.

"If you want to call me Xiao, Mr. Lu is probably thinking of this move long ago." Sun Wu's advice was originally referring to Lu Si and the big sword team that had already dressed as officers and soldiers.

Lu Si smiled slightly. Indeed, he had the idea of ​​having someone wear officers and soldiers' clothes mixed with fish eyes and performing miraculous effects.

Seeing the young leader of the river workers smiling in front of him, Sun Wujin felt relieved and thought that the other party believed him completely. Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly pulled the long sword in his hand, and then pointed the tip of the knife at the throat on his chin.

Very close, very close, you can feel the coldness of the knife even when you are close to Sun Wujin's throat.

"You said such a big story, but would you believe it easily?" Lu Si stared at Sun Wujin's eyes schemingly.

Sun Wujin was also frightened, but calmly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I have plans when I come back."

"What are the plans?" Lu Si asked.

Sun Wujin said nervously: "Mr. Ren Qian and the others must have fled to the canal dock. We are willing to capture Mr. Ren Qian for Mr. Lu. Even if we cannot capture Mr. Ren Qian, we are willing to persuade Mr. Lu to surrender other comrades for Mr. Lu to think that Mr. Lu is used by me!"

The more than 20 defeated soldiers behind him were also nervous. If this young thief leader couldn't listen to Sun Erlang's idea, they would have been in trouble.

Fortunately, the tip of the thief leader slowly left Sun Erlang's throat.

Lu Si put his knife into the sheath, looked at Xia Dajun, and said, "Take them there!"

"good!"

Xia Dajun nodded and was about to take people to set off, Lu Si whispered again: "If you have a different intention, kill all of them, and not one of them will be left."

"I know!"

Xia Dajun's eyes showed fierce light, and with a wave of his long sword, a group of big sword members immediately escorted Sun Wu into the town.

Sun Wujin and others, who had the intention of accepting the letter of surrender, were also unambiguous. After entering the town, they saw a group of officers and soldiers in front of them, so they stepped forward and persuaded them to surrender without any ambiguity.

.........

Lu Si turned around and ordered Guangyuan: "Take people to gather the river workers in Shanyang County and try to let them work with us."

He paused, "If the leader of them is unwilling to do it with us, don't force it."

"Yeah!"

Guangyuan responded loudly, but hesitated and did not leave. Lu Si was surprised: "What?"

"master,"

Guangyuan swallowed his saliva and lowered his voice and said, "Are you really planning to fight Huai'an City?"

"Want, why not?"

Lu Siyi patted his nephew's back, "Master, I will not only take you to fight Huai'an City, but also take you to fight Beijing City in the future."

These words were very proud, but they scared my nephew.

"North...Beijing, fight Beijing City!"

The uncle's amazing thoughts made his nephew stutter in his voice.

"What's wrong? If we really fight Huaian City, we can fight Beijing City!"

Lu Si smiled, kicked his nephew and urged, "Okay, don't think so much. First, prepare what's in front of you. One day I really want to fight Beijing City, and ask you to be a forward officer."

"Oh, come on!"

Guangyuan focused on the key points. Uncle was right. No matter whether he was fighting against Beijing or not, he had to pass the current level before talking about it.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and turned back.

"So what's wrong?"

Lu Si looked at this nephew who grew up with him in confusion.

Guangyuan giggled foolishly, then said thief: "Master, if you really take us to fight Beijing City, then will the master be the emperor and I be the prince in the future?"

“…”

Looking at his nephew's longing expression, Lu Si felt that being an uncle could not disappoint the child, and at the same time, he subconsciously looked north.
