Chapter 52: The Provisional Prefect
Xiao Wu was also a little incomprehensible about Lin Yu's sudden decision, after all, he was still thinking about continuing to make meritorious contributions here, but now he has just improved a little, so he has transferred like this, is it a little too anxious, which is also confusing.
"Childe, why are you preparing to return to Changnan City now, don't you want to continue to make meritorious contributions, and you can't continue to do such things if you leave, or is there news from the master?" Xiao Wu looked puzzled, after all, he didn't know about Lin Yu's task.
"Well, how can I tell you, in fact, this time I went back to make meritorious service, and you should also know that King Ning still has to go back in the end, don't look at the other party turning in such a big circle, the result is still the same, so we must go back to garrison Changnan City, so that we can also resist the rebels, and at the same time have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions during this period, it is very likely to catch King Ning." Lin Yu analyzed, although the task did not say what he was going back to, he also needed to find a reasonable explanation.
"I see, it seems that you are still thoughtful, and you are ready to say this, no wonder the governor also agrees with you to do this, and gives you so many soldiers, now you also have such strength, and there is no problem in resisting the rebels entering the city." Xiao Wu agreed, and he didn't expect this.
"Yes, the reason why the governor is willing to give us these soldiers this time is because he thinks that such an idea is reliable, and it is not possible to have soldiers stationed in Changnan City, so he will do this this time, and I hope that he can easily deal with this matter in the future." Lin Yu was also emotional, and he was also confident in this.
"That son, in this way, you are equivalent to the prefect of Changnan City, leading so many soldiers, it can be said that you are more energetic than the prefect." Xiao Wu also looked like a compliment.
"That being said, this is only temporary, and it is only trapped in the city, not the real prefect, nor the general, and when the matter is resolved, they will also go back separately, and I am still the same me." Lin Yu also felt a little worried, it was true that this was only temporary, and it could not prove that he was indeed so capable.
"Even so, since the governor can give you so many soldiers, I believe that the other party also thinks that you have such strength, and when the matter is over, I think that even if you are not the prefect, it will definitely be better than the original, at least the position of the county order should belong to you, right?" Xiao Wu echoed, he also hoped that Lin Yu would not be discouraged.
"Maybe that's the case, the county order shouldn't be wrong, but I won't just be obsessed with this position, after all, such a toss, if it's just for the position of the county order, I'm afraid it's a bit too much!" Lin Yu also has a higher desire, otherwise he would not insist on doing things by the side of the governor.
For Lin Yu's pursuit, Xiao Wu may be understandable, but he didn't expect Lin Yu to even disdain the position of the county order, which is really a bit surprising, but it is understandable to have such an idea, no matter whether he can really be satisfied in the end or not, he must continue to work hard, otherwise I am afraid that he will not even have the position of the county order.
It's just that sometimes, he doesn't dare to think about such a thing, so he feels that Lin Yu's idea is a bit surprising, but slowly it is understandable, and now is just the beginning!
After the governor agreed to this matter, he also dealt with such a matter quickly, and did not delay too much time, after all, he also wanted to continue to chase after King Ning and them, no matter whether the other party would return to Changnan or not, he still couldn't let them go, and he had to deal with this matter as soon as possible.
Then the governor also selected 3,000 soldiers, temporarily appointed Lin Yu as the prefect of Changnan City, and led the soldiers to stick to Changnan City.
In this regard, Lin Yu also swore that he would do a good job in this matter, so that the governor would not worry.
This time, Lin Yu also didn't expect that the governor would let him serve as the temporary prefect, which is a bit unexpected, but it is reasonable to think about it, after all, it is a bit unjustifiable to let a temporary county commander command 3,000 people, but it is more appropriate to change to the prefect.
Of course, this is also a temporary decision, and it is also a decision made because of the rebels, in fact, under normal circumstances, the prefect is not capable of leading so many people, so it is good to have such an opportunity.
This time, Lin Yu was also very grateful to the governor for giving such an opportunity, he himself didn't expect it, but because of such a task, he also had such a status in the blink of an eye, and it was still gratifying to lead three thousand people.
Although it is only temporary, Lin Yu also enjoys such a scene, after all, if he doesn't enjoy it now, I'm afraid he won't have a chance in the future, after all, even if he becomes a prince, he may not be able to command so many soldiers.
Now Lin Yu also said goodbye to the governor and led the three thousand soldiers back to Changnan City, not to mention how comfortable he was during the period.
At the same time, the governor also continued to pursue the rebels at the first time, and it was okay to let the other party run for so long, and he couldn't let them disappear from view, and he needed to catch up with the other party as soon as possible, so he didn't lose time.
This time, King Ning after such a battle, it can be said that he suffered heavy losses, although it is said that he also retained some of the main forces, but the army's discouragement is also the biggest problem, coupled with the lack of water and food, it has exacerbated such worries, not to mention continuing to fight, even the strength to walk may not be able to support it.
In fact, the defeat in this battle was not only because they were not well prepared, but because they were too confident and felt that they were unstoppable, as if they could be defeated by encountering a snobbery.
Not taking these soldiers of the governor into account can be said to be the biggest problem, of course, this approach is also wrong, from the beginning of their return to the rescue, it is also doomed to failure, taking care of the other is theirs, of course, it can be said that from the beginning of the rebellion means failure.
It's normal to have such a result now, but King Ning can't figure it out for herself, she feels that she is unstoppable, as if she can go smoothly with such a few soldiers, but what she doesn't know is that many of her soldiers are also people who fish in troubled waters, and they don't have much perseverance, and they are scared when they encounter obstacles, so the result is also predictable.
