Chapter Fifty-Eight: Finally Arrived
After listening to Xiao Wu's words, Lin Yu also shook his head, and still had a different opinion on this.
"Actually, it's not that I'm thoughtful, it's just that we can't lose now, after all, in the face of the rebels, the thousands of people in our city are still a little insufficient, if the governor doesn't come as soon as possible, we are not the opponent of the rebels for the time being."
"Of course, as long as the city gate is not opened, it can still be defended, but once the city gate is broken, then I'm afraid we will also be a little troublesome, so whether these people come to surrender or not, we still can't accept all their conditions at present." Lin Yu analyzed again.
"Childe, what you said is reasonable, but no matter what, you still look at the long-term after all, and you won't easily trust the other party, so you can continue to deal with such things." Xiao Wu chimed in.
"For this, we really have to be cautious, after all, the other party is a rebel, how can we believe it at will, they are still relatively cunning, in case it is a trap, then we are in trouble." Lin Yu said.
He can still analyze this situation more clearly, after all, since he is the temporary prefect, he must do his task well, and there can be no sloppiness, once there is such a mistake, it is not only unable to complete the task, but also the credit is gone, that must be the least favorite to see.
Therefore, he must be foolproof, not to mention that he is a rebel, even if his own people come, he may not open the city gate, unless he sees the governor himself, after all, it is the other party who is responsible for such a thing now, and there is no way for others to order Lin Yu.
Of course, the main reason is that these soldiers are assigned by the governor, so they can only obey the orders of the other party, which is also normal and understandable.
Although the rebels in front of the city gate now claim to have come to surrender and do it with a very good attitude, Lin Yu still can't fully believe it, even if all kinds of signs show that the other party is sincere, but he can't take it lightly.
Even Lin Yu himself believed in their words very much, but if he was not ten percent sure, he would still not take risks, after all, he had already done a good job and guarded the city gate, so there was no need to add other things.
Although Lin Yu also wanted to catch King Ning's group with his own hands, but at present, his troops are insufficient, so he should not act recklessly, otherwise he will be a little too self-conscious, and that will only put himself in a predicament, not only will he not be able to catch the rebels, but I am afraid that his task will not be completed.
After all, once you lead the troops out, then the city will be empty, and anyone can easily come in, so there is really no need, just focus on the current task.
Besides, the governor also arrived immediately, I believe that the other party will not be able to run far, and it may be possible to follow him when the time comes, after all, under the army led by the governor, the other party will definitely be helpless.
Lin Yu looked at the rebels below who were gobbling up there, and he could see that the other party was indeed really hungry, but even so, once he couldn't impress Lin Yu and do more things, it would be good to give them some food, and it was still unrealistic to open the door.
And as long as they surrender sincerely, then I believe that they will not care too much about the current situation, and it is okay to wait a little longer, and they are your rebels after all, even after entering the city, they also need to be observed to a certain extent, they are still a little different from the defenders of Changnan City before, after all, those people before also followed the governor to fight, and basically they will not be held responsible.
But now these people are different, they are desperate after defeat, so they have to surrender, and they are no longer needed, so the treatment is still not the same as those who surrendered before.
Or whether it is an early surrender or a late surrender, it is up to the emperor to deal with this matter, and it was mainly because of the lack of people that the governor had to directly use those rebels to replenish the army and coordinate the suppression of the rebellion.
In fact, these people will also be dealt with by the emperor at that time, but the governor will still say good things for them at that time, of course, they are not the main rebels, and they will not be punished too severely, and there are very close ties with King Ning and others, and the others are ordinary soldiers, and they can still be forgiven.
At this time, the governor was also hurrying to Changnan City, and they were also following the rebels closely, and there was not much time difference, so after another half an hour, they finally arrived.
Lin Yu also saw the governor's men and horses on the city wall, and when the other party approached the city gate, Lin Yu was also ready to go down to watch the gate to greet him, and now it was time to open the city gate, and basically he would no longer be afraid of the rebels' counterattack.
"Lord Governor, you have finally arrived, and you have also defended Changnan City in Xia, so that the rebels have no chance to infiltrate, and then you have fled eastward." Lin Yu took the initiative to go over and report.
"Okay, very good, Lin Yu, it's good for you to be a temporary prefect like this, and I'm very pleased to have such a look." The governor was also satisfied with this.
After all, he didn't think of this before, it was Lin Yu's idea, so he reminded the other party, otherwise, once King Ning occupied Changnan City again, the follow-up things would be more troublesome, so if he could minimize the trouble, he wouldn't try to make such preparations.
This time, Lin Yu was also thoughtful, and at the same time, he also guarded Changnan City and relieved some unnecessary troubles, so he must be happy.
"Thank you for the praise of the governor, this is also what a contemptible person should do, after all, I have made a promise before, if I don't do it well, I won't have the face to see you."
"By the way, there is another thing I haven't told you, the rebels squatting there on the east side of the city gate are here to surrender, and I also asked them to wait there, I need to wait for you to come and deal with them, I don't know what you are going to do with them?" Lin Yu continued.
"Oh yes? It must be a good thing to have someone who comes to surrender, so that you can alleviate some troubles in the future, but it is not easy to deal with them at present, after all, King Ning has not caught these masterminds, and you still need to wait, then let them follow to pursue the rebels, I believe they are also acceptable, in order to make up for their mistakes, when the emperor deals with them, it can be lighter, and these people can still be used. The governor analyzed.
On the one hand, it is for the sake of the other party and to alleviate their faults, the second is to test them, whether they really surrender, and the third is to make reasonable use of them, after all, there are no extra people to guard them.
