Speaking of rebellion, everyone was full of pride, and when they really met officers and soldiers, it was the oilers on the soles of their feet who lived longer, Xu Ji was hesitating whether to attack Jianglong on the spot, only to see him jump up, turn around at the same time, and run towards the camp, not even the horses.

The leaders of the Wu army scattered and fled, leaving only a few people still in place.

Xu Ji shouted: "The enemy is now, and those who flee are dead!" ”

Bao Dun didn't run, he was the first to pull out his knife and shouted: "If you are a hero, you will stay, and if you are a bad seed, you will be stabbed by me!" ”

The soldiers of the Bao clan drew their swords one after another, Tang Weitian was even more furious, jumped out in one step, picked up a stick and knocked down a person, and then chased after the leaders of the small surname, he ran fast, and the stick hit accurately, and quickly brought back most of the people, only a few people escaped.

The leaders of the Seven Clans and the Jingzhou Qunhao ran slower, and when they heard the shouting, they came back one after another.

Xu Ji said to Bao Dun: "The situation is critical, I have a reluctant request......"

"What's polite at this time? The Wu army could enter the city, but only the outer city. ”

"Please Bao Gong go and open the city gate, and I will go to the front to check the enemy's situation."

Bao Dun nodded, and Xu Ji said to the people who came back: "The officers and soldiers are already at the end of the crossbow, there is nothing to fear, the soldiers will block, the water will come to cover the earth, everyone will enter the city to take refuge temporarily, everything is arranged by the city lord Bao." ”

After that, he called a few more people, got on his horse and went to the front with him.

It is much better to enter the city than to flee like a fly without a head, and the leaders are a little calm, and they return to the camp one after another, and call their men to pull out.

Xu Ji stopped a group of soldiers surnamed Xiao and asked where the officers and soldiers were, but there were different opinions, according to them, Xu Ji should have seen the smoke and dust when he rode on a horse.

Like the vast majority of the start-up rebel army, the Wu army lacked scouts and military discipline, and was easily bewitched by rumors.

Although the election was abandoned halfway, in Tang Weitian's opinion, Gongzi had already won, and kept shouting at the crowd: "Make way for the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

This sentence really had some effect, the crowd got out of the way, and several leaders with small surnames followed behind Xu Ji, and soon shouted the same words.

The 10th battalion was built on the road, and after passing through the chaotic camp, Xu Ji came to a small hill, and finally saw the figures of the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers appeared at a bend in the distance, lined up at the foot of the mountain, and in front of them were two rows of vehicles, which had not yet been settled, and the soldiers could be seen busy.

Xu Ji pointed at the officers and soldiers with his horsewhip, turned his head and smiled at his followers: "You don't need to panic, there are less than 1,000 officers and soldiers, and the generals are timid, coming from afar, not seeking a quick battle, but lining up to protect themselves, they must be incompetent." ”

Xu Ji had only called a few people to follow before, but at this time, there were fifty or sixty people behind him, and many more came on foot.

The jack scale did not run, but also among the followers, and asked suspiciously: "Is there less than a thousand?" It's hard to see here. ”

"Then get to where you can see clearly. Those who have horses come with me, and those who have no horses remain. Xu Ji galloped, returned to the main road, and went straight to the officers and soldiers.

There were less than thirty people with horses, and only Tang Weitian immediately followed without saying a word, and everyone else had to hesitate for a while, and then they followed one after another, the line was very long, and the last few people had to catch up under the gaze of the infantry, if they could, they really wanted to give their mounts to others.

Regardless of whether there were people behind him or not, Xu Ji galloped on his horse, getting closer and closer to the front of the officers and soldiers.

As if facing a great enemy, the officers and men stretched out two rows of spears from behind the carriages, the drums sounded, the generals shouted, and the soldiers hurriedly lined up.

A stone's throw away, Xu Ji could see the situation on the other side of the corner, as he expected, there were not many officers and soldiers, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, if he had a real army, he would be able to disperse the officers and soldiers at this moment and win the first victory.

The officers and men were also misguided, and if they could take advantage of the panic of the Wu army to charge, they would have won more with less, and avoided many troubles and casualties in the future.

Xu Ji sighed again, there were no generals in the court, and he had no soldiers.

Several men had followed, and the officers and men were firing with bows and crossbows, but they were not accurate or neat, and a few fell nearby.

Xu Ji slapped his horse and galloped forward for a while, and he could even see the facial features of the soldiers on the opposite side.

This time, only Tang Weitian followed, brandishing a stick and letting out a boy's howl.

Xu Ji just came to demonstrate, and when he saw that more and more officers and soldiers had prepared bows and crossbows, he immediately turned his horse's head, returned to his followers, and smiled at the jack scale and others: "How is it?" Officers and soldiers are such people. ”

"The army may be behind." The jack scale whispered.

"Then wait for the army to arrive, and fight to the death!" Xu Ji walked back with the leader, deliberately slowing down, not galloping as he did when he came.

The leaders were embarrassed to run in front and looked back frequently, but the officers and soldiers did not chase after them, and continued to arrange their troops.

When they felt safe, the faces of the leaders returned to normal, their fighting spirit was also high, they praised the courage of the governor, and they had confidence in defeating the officers and soldiers.

Xu Ji took the opportunity to order, ordered all the leaders to recruit soldiers, take refuge in the city, and asked people to push away all the sundries in the camp of the small surname, "Leave a passage for the officers and soldiers, and the fight will be more enjoyable." ”

After walking a short distance, Bao Dun, Meng Shenglun and others rushed to meet him with troops, and saw that Xu Ji was fine, and his heart was at peace, and he saw that the soldiers surnamed Xiao obeyed him, and admired him even more.

The 10th Battalion still ran away from many people, and Chuan Jianglong took almost all of his subordinates away.

The remaining battalions were finally combined into one army.

Xu Ji knew that this battle was very important to himself and the Wu army, and if he won it, he would stand on a solid foundation, and if he lost, he would start all over again, and with the name of the general of the defeated army, it would only be more difficult to win over the soldiers.

Back in the city, Xu Ji refused to enter the city, so he summoned all the leaders on the side of the road.

Meng Senglun understood his intentions and said for him: "Under the protector general Meng Senglun, Xu Ji was elected as the governor of Wu State, commanding all ministries and commanding generals, who of you have any objections?" ”

The officers and soldiers stopped more than a dozen miles away, the name of the governor of Wu was not as sought-after as before, Xu Ji had shown his strategy and courage, and no one opposed the leaders, and they all bowed down and shouted "Xu Dadudu".

The Wu army had not yet fully entered the city, and many soldiers stopped to watch and chanted.

Xu Ji could only enjoy a moment of pride, and when the call stopped for a while, he said loudly: "If you have been recommended, I will no longer be polite." Now that the foreign enemy is present, if there is anything wrong with me, please talk about it later, and those who violate the order in wartime will be immediately killed. ”

"As it should be, please give the Governor an order." At such times, no one will compete for power with the new commander-in-chief.

"Bowton obeys."

"The subordinates are here."

"I order you to be the general of the army, in charge of military law, all the battalions fight, the generals are not in harmony, you will judge, the law is not merciful, do not show favoritism."

"Subordinates obey."

"General Meng Shenglun, General Song Xingxi, General Qianjin Scale......" Xu Ji called out the names of ten people in a row, namely the leaders of the Seven Clans, Xiao Surname, Jingzhou and Bao, "You each selected 200 elite soldiers from the headquarters, stationed outside the city with me, and chose the opportunity to fight with the officers and soldiers!" ”

Xu Ji also ordered Wang Dian to guard the outer city, and another Bao clan leader to guard the inner city.

Everyone was either cowardly or had doubts in their hearts, and in front of everyone, they did not dare to raise it with the new Grand Governor, and each acted according to his orders.

Xu Ji wanted to draw a long lance and draw a line three miles away from the city, roughly marking the location of the ten generals and their subordinates, so as to avoid disputes between the departments.

The two thousand soldiers were quickly positioned, which made Xu Ji feel a little satisfied, and felt that this army was not useless.

This time, the formation was quite timely, and not long after everyone stood up, a small group of officers and soldiers came to check the situation, and when they saw that the rebels were numerous, they turned around and ran, not daring to get too close.

The timidity of the officers and soldiers gave the Wu army more time, Xu Ji galloped back and forth, arranged the antler fence and the camp outside the city, entered the city once, discussed with Bao Dun, and sent the family members of the army into the inner city, and the soldiers remained in the outer city, camped in pieces, and counted the number of people for later use.

It wasn't until late afternoon that the defenders of the city began to take shape.

Tang Weitian volunteered to check on the enemy's situation, rode a horse for the first time, and then ran around on his feet to report the movements of the officers and soldiers.

The number of officers and men was increasing, but there was no sign of an offensive, and they were also encamped in the rear of the front, apparently waiting for the arrival of the large army before making plans.

Xu Ji really wanted to launch a surprise attack, but he couldn't find suitable generals and soldiers, and he regretted it in his heart.

Not long after nightfall, Xu Ji finally entered his Chinese military tent for the first time - it was a very ordinary tent, not even a flag, and two long lances were inserted at the door to show the difference.

Xu Ji had dinner with the generals, discussed strategies to deal with the enemy, and also took the opportunity to observe who of these leaders could be of great use.

Although Xu Ji is the son of a great general, he is actually not good at fighting, and he has to find several real generals.

The jack scale was quite popular, but he had no idea about the battle between the two armies, so Xu Ji appointed him as the general of the Chinese army to guard the front line to the city gate.

The fall of the state of Wu was not long ago, although the seven clans declined, there are still many people among the children who have learned the art of war, although they do not have much experience, and they are defeated and won less when they fight with officers and soldiers in Jiangdong, but at least they know the art of advancing and retreating, Xu Ji appointed them as generals and colonels, in charge of two thousand elite soldiers.

As for the Zhuhao of Jingzhou, Xu Ji selected two to act as his own soldiers.

After a series of appointments, the children of the Seven Clans clearly had an advantage, and even "captured" other people's subordinates.

Xu Ji explained: "It is expedient to redo the division after the war, and the soldiers will still return to the old department. ”

No one objected.

Xu Ji knew that there must be people who were dissatisfied, but this victory was not a big deal, and no one wanted to compete for the position of general school.

"The officers and soldiers are not on a stable footing, and I intend to attack the camp at night, what do you think?" Xu Ji asked.

The generals looked at each other, and Song Xingju was the first to speak: "The first victory or defeat is related to the morale of the whole army, I think the night attack is a clever plan, and I am willing to be the forerunner." ”

Xu Ji was overjoyed, he needed such a brave general.

A Jingzhou general was also willing to participate in the night attack, and Xu Ji agreed, let the two of them each choose a hundred people, no need to distinguish between the battalion and the subordinates, and those who must be physically strong and bold and daring, and promised a heavy reward, which were the monthly rations of the whole family, and winter clothing.

Xu Ji sent the generals away, leaving Bao Dun alone, there were some things he should have said a long time ago, and he waited until now, and said: "I know that General Bao is suspicious, please ask." ”

Bao Dun was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The Governor once said that the imperial court had forgotten Runan City, but he sent officers and soldiers, do you think I will be suspicious because of this?" Most of the governors thought too much, and it was precisely because I saw the officers and soldiers fighting timidly that I was even more convinced that Tiancheng was about to die. ”

Xu Ji felt a little relieved in his heart, "Wu Jun Caochuang, I am also fighting with officers and soldiers for the first time, what are the deficiencies in the distribution arrangement, General Wanwang Bao will give advice." ”

Bao Dun snorted, without humility, "I still have some ideas about defending the city, as for the battle between the two armies, I have no experience, I think the metropolitan governor and the generals ...... None of them are men with soldiers. ”

"Haha, let General Bao get right."

"Whether this battle is won or lost, the Metropolitan Governor will have to find someone to help."

"Remember, I actually have a great candidate, but unfortunately this person is not here."

Song Xing cut into the account, he had already selected his soldiers, and he could go to attack the enemy camp at night at any time.

"Go to rest first, and set off on the fourth watch." Xu Ji had high hopes for this night attack and couldn't wait to go there in person.
