Chapter 48: Neither side is human

The news brought by Song Wu made Lu Si a little stunned. It felt like he was ready to go to the robbery, but when he arrived, he found that only a pair of shorts were left behind the robbery.

"Who went to fight Huai'an City?!"

Zhou Wang, who heard that Song Wu was still alive, was confused when he heard that Lu Xiaosizi had not taken everyone to fight Huai'an yet, why did someone in Huai'an City take action first?

What the hell is going on!

"Yes, Wu Ye, where did you go yesterday? We thought you..." Lu Wenliang's injury was just a simple bandage. He had not yet been treated by a doctor, so he could not stand and could only sit.

"Is it a river worker from other counties?"

Jiang Kui thought that the noise in Qingjiangpu was too big at night, and there must be some other river workers who were in trouble when they heard the news. In addition, the river workers in Yancheng County were not all here. If they were not done well, other river workers teams also realized the importance of Huai'an City and took the lead in fighting.

If this is the case, that would be a good thing!

"Fifth Master, sit down and talk slowly!"

Lu Si handed over the small stool at his feet, Song Wu took it and sat down, panted a few words and said with certainty: "It's not our river workers, but officers and soldiers!"

"Officers and soldiers!"

Everyone, including Lu Si, was stunned again, and each looked stunned.

"Fifth Master, have you read it wrong?"

Lu Wenliang suspected that Song Wu was too panicked at that time and mistakenly regarded the river engineering team as a team of officers and soldiers, otherwise there would be no way to explain.

The rebellion of the Hegong can be said to be the officials forcing the people to rebel. How do you say that the officers and soldiers rebelled? This is simply the sun hitting the west!

"I can't make a mistake, I can see clearly. What a soldier!"

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Song Wu hurriedly told the story.

At that time, the construction site was in chaos. Song Wu and the county government officials and soldiers were frightened. In a panic, a group of people followed Qianhufang and others to run around. Later, when they thought they could not leave their family members, they ran back alone, but at that time the Hegong Brigade had already rushed to Taohuawu.

Song Wu wanted to catch up with the team, but found a large group of officers and soldiers in front of him followed behind the Hegong Brigade, and he couldn't get through at all.

Like those Hegongs who dared not speak out to remind him, Song Wu did not dare to warn him in the end because he was also afraid from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, many Hegongs who were not discovered by the officers and soldiers took the opportunity to run north. Song Wu did not want to run, but some people said that they had to go to Huai'an City to report the news. As long as the people from the prefectures and counties rushed over, the officers and soldiers would not kill people randomly.

Song Wuyi thought it was right, so he followed these people. They were outsiders in the dark and were not familiar with this road at all. It was not until dawn that they encountered a group of villagers who helped the elderly and the young and fled.

These villagers also ran to Huai'an City, so Song Wu and the others followed. Unexpectedly, before they arrived at Huai'an City, they saw many people running back in front of them. After asking, they realized that some officers and soldiers were rebelling and attacking Huai'an City at this time.

Song Wu, like Lu Wenliang and others, did not believe that officers and soldiers would rebel, so he plucked up the courage to touch Huai'an City to see what was going on.

As a result, it was found that there were really rebelling, not only the officers and soldiers, but also thousands of river workers were also attacking the city. There were already many corpses piled up under the city wall.

In desperation, Song Wu had to return and flee again, but this time he did not escape to his hometown, but gritted his teeth and returned to Taohuawu.

He didn't think much at that time, just thinking that the officers and soldiers were afraid that they would have killed enough of them, so it would be better to find living people when they came over. If they really couldn't find them, they had to search for the body of the human body, and then ask someone to help them turn them back.

In this way, I finally gave an explanation to my family.

What he never expected was that Taohuawu actually gathered in river workers!

...........

"Whether you say I am a coward or I am afraid of being timid, I, Song Wu, have accepted it, but if you want to attack Huaian City, you will move quickly. If you are too late, Huaian City will be taken away by the rebel soldiers!"

After Song Wu finished speaking, he suddenly felt uncontrollable and even hugged his head and started crying. After all, the five-foot-foot man could not bear the hardships that night.

"Fifth Master, don't say that. Just think about collecting our corpses for you. Everyone will never forget this kind of friendship!"

Lu Si stepped forward to comfort Song Wu, and Lu Wenliang, Gan Ermao and others also came to persuade Song Wu.

"Guangyuan, call that Sun Erlang over," Lu Si ordered his nephew.

Guangyuan hurriedly went to find someone, and soon brought Sun Wujin, who was staying with the surrendered soldiers, over. "Ah?"

When Sun Wujin heard that some officers and soldiers were taking Hegong to rebel to attack Huai'an City, he was also stunned.

"As far as you know, who in your river army can do this?" Lu Si a little admired the guy who led the rebellion. How bold the man is and how rich the land is.

"General Wu Shen and General Ren Qian are both dead, and General Ge is also dead. Among us, those who can do rebellion..."

Sun Wujin racked his brains and thought again and again, "Ah": "It must be Li Shiyuan!"

"Who is Li Shiyuan?"

"Master Lu, then Li Shiyuan is a general..."

According to Sun Wujin, Li Shiyuan was a soldier from Ningyuan outside the pass in his early years. He incited the soldiers to mutiny because he was owed wages, which led to a governor hanging himself. Later, the court settled the accounts after the fall, and Li Shiyuan saw that something was wrong, so he took his helpers to escape and became a horse thief.

Two or three years later, Zuo Liangyu, who was dismissed from office due to the Ningyuan mutiny, made a comeback and fought with the Qing army with the guerrilla general Cao Wenzhao.

Because he knew that Li Shiyuan was a fierce soldier, Zuo Liangyu secretly took their gang under his command. After that, Li Shiyuan followed Zuo Liangyu to fight the bandits in the pass, and accumulated officials to guerrilla warfare.

However, this guy was unchanged in his gangster nature. He often indulged his subordinates to loot the people and repeatedly killed Liang and took advantage of his achievements. He was reported to the governor Yang Sichang by local gentry. Yang Sichang was furious and ordered Zuo Liangyu to deal with Li Shiyuan with military law.

But Zuo Liangyu was always tolerant of his subordinates, so he secretly ordered someone to kill a deceased devil and pretended to be Li Shiyuan. However, Li Shiyuan changed Li Baoguo's name and called him Jin Shenghuan's subordinates.

Jin Shenghuan was not happy with Li Shiyuan, so he refused to use him seriously, so he just asked him to take the title of general under the command of the governor Wu Gao.

Therefore, Li Shiyuan was very resentful towards Jin Shenghuan.

"So, is it that Li Shiyuan who brought the river to rebel?"

"It's probably him, Huai'an City has a lot of wealth. Li Shiyuan knew that Wu Gao was defeated and Ren Wannian had led his people to attack Huai'an City."

"If this is the case, things will be troublesome."

Lu Si frowned slightly. It is correct for Li Shiyuan to take action first. Whoever has to occupy Huai'an City will be the boss.

But this guy obviously made a desperate attempt and even forced his attack on the city, which made the troops stationed in the city ready. Lu Si's plan to send someone to sneak into the city to cooperate with the inside and outside will surely die.

Sun Wujin thought about it but said happily: "Mr. Lu doesn't have to worry. Li Shiyuan's siege is a good thing!"

"oh?"

"If Huai'an City has not been lost, Mr. Lu's Huai Army will be reinforcements in the city; if Huai'an has been lost, Mr. Lu's Huai Army can also be Li Shiyuan's friendly forces."

"you mean?"

Lu Si thought it could be understood in this way. Sun Erlang made him not humans on both sides of the Huai Army, but both sides could be humans.
