"Big brother, do you think the mole on my eyebrows is a beauty mole?"

"Big brother, do you think men look good in women's clothes?"

"Big brother, do you think my hairpin is worthy of me?"

"Big brother, why don't you talk?"

"Big brother, you look so masculine when you don't speak."

"roll!"

Lu Si had enough, he had really had enough. Since he broke out of Huaian City, this big man with real name Zuo Dazhuzi and stage name Zuo Pan'an has been pestering him every day.

If this guy hadn't been the first little leader who took the initiative to stand up and follow Lu Si to kill Yangzhou, Lu Si would have asked someone to put him in a sack and throw him to the canal in the middle of the night. For insurance, the sack must be tied to death, and dozens of bricks have to be tied to ensure that everything is foolproof.

Left and left are the direction, life and death, and the route.

Although Lu Si showed everyone the significance of attacking Yangzhou City, he repeatedly emphasized that capturing Yangzhou City would help revitalize the overall situation, and even vaguely implied that after taking Yangzhou City, the Huai Army was very likely to defeat the encirclement and suppression of the government, thus becoming the strongest force in Jiangbei. At that time, the fun and spicy food would never have to be liquidated by the government, but in the end, most of the He foremen still chose to stand on the right.

Compared to the possibility of losing one's life or not, it is possible that the consequences of Yangzhou City cannot be defeated. Only the real Huai'an City makes people feel safe.

Or maybe these people have the idea of ​​a dead fellow Taoist who will not die.

There were only a dozen leaders standing on the left, with a total of less than 5,000 people. Among them, there was the one who was not blind but had the nickname of Shen blind.

An interesting phenomenon, Lu Si discovered that many people have big characters in their names, such as Xia Dajun, Shen Dafu, Peng Daqing, Zuo Dazhu, Wang Daqiang...

Maybe the parents of these people don’t know how to name them, or maybe it’s a trend to name them with the word “big” these days.

With less than five thousand people, Lu Si was still satisfied with this number. These people took the initiative to stand up and follow him, which shows that they not only have the courage, but also agree with Lu Si's point of view.

Identity and courage are the foundation of an army.

Even though these people are mobs and have no combat power, as long as they are willing to go with Lu Si, in time, an elite force will be born from it.

Yu Huaishu supported Lu Si's decision, because no matter whether Lu conquered Yangzhou or not, it would only benefit him but not harm him.

To conquer Yangzhou, as Lu Wenzong himself said, Huai'an and Yangzhou could echo each other, thinking that based on the confrontation of the government army, Huai'an City would not be an isolated city, and the government troops coming to attack could not stare at Huai'an City.

As long as the Huai Army can hold on for a period of time and the government cannot attack for a long time, the court can only use the means of recruiting and pacifying the Huai Army.

After all, the canal transportation was the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty and could not be eliminated.

Although it may really put Huai'an in a situation of being surrounded, Lu Wenzong's prestige will definitely be weakened. Only in this way can the Huai army truly be the only one who is Mr. Yu.

At the core, Yu Huaishu believed that the court would recruit them, even if there was no Yangzhou City.

Years of experience in dealing with county government offices and district grain chiefs told him that the government is most afraid of something. Once something happens, the first thing the officials think about is how to quickly suppress the matter rather than make it bigger, which is not a good thing for the black hat on the officials.

As long as Yu Huai Shu showed loyalty to the court on behalf of the Huai Army, let the court know that they were not real rebels, but were forced to rebel by the Jianhe Army, Yu believed that the Lu Department Office, who escaped from Huai'an City, would definitely use pacification methods to solve the Huai Army's problem.

Then, as the "common leader" of the Huai Army, Yu Huai Shu will definitely get great benefits from it. This is why he took the initiative to "voluntarily" to contact Yangzhou River Mansions that day.

If he didn't do this, he would inevitably be subject to the crowded Lu Wenzong of Shanggang. How could he represent the entire Huai Army and the court after seizing Huai'an City?

In essence, Lu Si wanted to live, and Yu Huaishu also wanted to live, but in terms of means, the two were completely different.

............

As the nominal leader of the Huai Army, Yu Huaishu must stay in Huai'an to take charge. He, the big leader, could not provide any support to Lu Si and the others. Almost all the weapons and goods and money in Huai'an city were in Lu Si's hands.

Of course, Lu Si would not leave anything to Yu Huaishu. First of all, he only took Chang Ying's warehouse for the grain. He did not move the remaining four general warehouses and Chang Ping's warehouses at all. These grains can ensure that the team staying in Huai'an can survive until the fall of Beijing.

Qin Wu and Guo Laosi had already seized a lot of weapons and materials, and nearly 2,000 prisoners were captured by them. As long as Yu Huaishu was well dispatched and distributed, there was no problem to ensure a certain combat effectiveness.

After hesitating for a while, Yu Huai Shu finally asked Lu Si how much money was deposited in the official department of the Caoyuan. Lu Si replied that there were more than 400,000 taels, and he would leave 200,000 taels for Yu Huai Shu to distribute and distribute the rest, and he would take away the rest.

Yu Huaishu had no objection to this, nor could he have no objection. The Caoyuan was firmly guarded by Lu Si's people, and even a fly could not fly in.

It is already a great friendship that Lu Si can give him 200,000 taels. After all, Huai'an City was won by others.

However, when Lu Si said that he would start the platoon tomorrow, Yu Huaishu and others were really shocked. Lu Si then formally proposed to divide the Huai Army into two, and those who went south to Yangzhou were called the Southern Army, and those who stayed in Huai'an were the Northern Army.

Both groups of people called the Huai Army, which is called "dividing troops but not dividing families."

Yu Huaishu and Wang Er had no objection. That night, a group of leaders opened a big pot meal at the mansion school. The next day, Lu Si led his troops out of the city and headed south.

The Southern Route Army did not advance all the way, but was divided into two routes.

Along the way, the main force led by Lu Si himself, consisting of Cheng Lin's Fengzi Battalion, Xie Jinsheng's New Second Battalion, Lu Guangyuan's New Second Battalion, and thousands of river workers willing to go south. Money, grain and materials were transported by the grain team, with a total force of more than 9,000.

The march route also went directly south along the canal, passing through Baoying, and Gaoyou to the city of Yangzhou.

This route was also the route of the Qing army heading south in Lu Si's previous life. If you don't walk along the canal, the supply of food and grass alone will be a huge problem.

You know, the food on a ship cannot be pulled by dozens of carriages.

The other route was the Linziying, the Luke Camp, the Laoying led by Xia Dajun, the other counties in Yancheng County, and the Xinsan Battalion of Monk Xu. Their mission was to go east to Huai'an to capture Xinxingchang, Yancheng County, and Fuxi Inspection Office, with a total number of more than 7,000 people.

Lu Si asked Xia Dajun and Jiang Kui and others to capture Yancheng County, and not rush to go to Yangzhou to join him. They should mobilize more personnel in their hometowns to participate in the Huai Army, and try their best to win the Huai Army's family to follow the army. If they really don't want to, they will take out tens of thousands of taels of silver distributed to him along the way and pay the settlement fee according to the heads so that men outside can fight with peace of mind.

Lu Sigun repeatedly told Xia Dajun that after returning, he would give the pension silver from the Huai Army soldiers who died in the canal and Huai'an City to their relatives, even if they did not participate in the Huai Army and just died in the night chaos, they would give it to them.

Xia Dajun responded one by one.

After hearing this task, Jiang Kui was a little puzzled and disagreed, but Xia Dajun's words changed his mind.

"What if the officers and soldiers come here if they don't bring their wives and children? It's easy to take care of them. Even if they die, the whole family will be there, so there is no regret."

Lu Si patted Jiang Kui and said, "In the future, we may not be in Huaiyang. If we can't hold on, we may have to go north or cross the river."

Yu Huai Shu took Wang Er, Qin Wu, Guo Laosi and others out of the city to send Lu Si's southern army. Before leaving, Lu Si suggested that Yu Huai Shu organize people to strengthen the city defense quickly, and also gave Yu Huai Shu a suggestion.

This suggestion is very vicious, which is to ask Yu Huai Shu to send people to force all residents within a radius of fifty miles outside the city into the city, and set fire to all villages to ensure that the upcoming Ming army could not get any food and grass supplies in the suburbs of Huai'an, and there was not even a village where they could rest and sleep.

"I will consider this."

Yu Huaishu did not immediately express his acceptance, which shows that Mr. Yu was unbearable, and it may also be related to his desire to invite the court. If Lu Si really adopted Lu Si's suggestion, Yu Huaishu would not be simply forced to rebel.

Lu Si could not force Yu Huaishu to do what he said, and he also knew that he had fantasies about the government army in his heart, but no matter how he fantasized, it would eventually be shattered.

Rely on yourself in everything.

He has done everything Lu Si can do to Yu Huaishu and others who stayed behind. Now he is going to work hard for his true Huaishu Army.

But to his surprise, Luo Jiying, the magistrate of Shanyang who was the mule envoy for several days, actually wanted to go to Yangzhou with him.

Lu Si was a little surprised and asked him the reason.

Luo Jiying was frank and said frankly: "I don't want to die in the city."

Lu Si disagreed: "Mr. Yu is a scholar. Although I am not here, Mr. Yu will never let the Huai army in the city come in chaos."

Luo Jiying shook her head and said, "I'm not worried about this."

"Then what are you worried about?" Lu Si was surprised.

"I'm worried about the official army."
