Xu Ji was wearing armor, and the blow to his back did not cause serious injuries, but he fell from the horse but fell black, and he couldn't get up for a long time, and when he was a little sober, he saw the jack scale walking towards him with a short blade in his hand.

The jack scale knelt down on one leg, first took off the helmet, firmly grasped the bun, and wiped the short blade towards the neck.

Xu Ji couldn't struggle, his heart sank, and he couldn't imagine that he would die so unjustly.

With a bang, the jack scale fell forward, and he couldn't help but support the ground with both hands, and the short blade slashed against Xu Ji's neck.

There were three consecutive bangs, and the jack scale fell to the ground, motionless.

Xu Ji was pressed underneath and couldn't move.

"Look at his face, Governor, are you still alive?"

"Hmm." Xu Ji laboriously let out a response.

The jack scale was moved, and Tang Weitian helped Xu Ji up, "You should keep the magic stick, it can protect you." ”

Xu Ji shook his head, sobered up a lot, and looked down at the jack scale, "I really can't think of ......"

"What's not to think of? When Childe became the governor of the capital, many people had wrong eyes, especially this guy, I thought he had a problem at the time. Tang Weitian spat on the corpse.

"You see that people's eyes are better than mine." Xu Ji smiled, walked a few steps slowly, felt that his ribs hurt a little, but it was no big deal, gently pushed Tang Weitian away, picked up the helmet on the ground, "I can still walk, find me a horse." ”

Xu Ji's mount was gone, and the horses on the jack scale were still beside him, so Tang Weitian brought it over, "Okay?" ”

Xu Ji gritted his teeth, turned over on his horse, and said with a smile: "It's okay if you're not dead, how can you find it...... We'll talk about it later, but let's meet up with the others first. ”

Tang Weitian also got on the horse.

Xu Ji pulled out the spear of the jack scale, although he didn't know how to use it, he at least felt more solid in his hand, and it could also be used to bluff people.

The night attack was very successful, and the officers and soldiers did not expect the rebels to have the courage to take the initiative to attack, and really thought that the eastern capital had fallen, so the rebels could break into the camp from the rear.

The officers and men ran as fast as they could, and almost no one stayed to resist.

The soldiers of the Wu army tasted the sweetness, and had already forgotten the prior instructions of the governor, and pursued and killed the officers and soldiers everywhere, while the rest of the people plundered in the camp.

Xu Ji gradually gathered a group of people and ordered them to stop the search, half of them went to extinguish the fire, and half of them pushed the vehicles of the officers and soldiers parked outside the camp to the other end and rearranged them to become a checkpoint for the Wu army.

The sky was shining, Xu Ji counted the number of people, and found that there were only seven or eight hundred people left, and the other soldiers ran to chase the officers and soldiers, but they had not returned.

Xu Ji threw away his spear, dismounted and shouted in the crowd, ordering the general to gather his subordinates and line up the formation, so as not to kill the officers and soldiers.

As for the items in the camp, everyone has a share, and they will be distributed when everything is secure.

It was nearly noon when a group of reinforcements came from the city of Runan, and they arrived just in time, and the officers and men of the Wu army who had gone out of the camp to chase the officers and soldiers were running back desperately - they ran into the officers and men of the brigade.

Fortunately, the officers and men of the brigade were affected by the fleeing rebels, thinking that there was an ambush ahead, and did not dare to rush up immediately, so the Wu soldiers were able to flee back to the camp.

The officers and soldiers appeared in the field of vision, and they had already come to their senses and approached step by step in formation.

Song Xing went out to chase people, and when he came back, his face was covered with sweat, both excited and frightened, "It's all cavalry, there must be tens of thousands of people!" ”

He exaggerated that at most half of the officers and soldiers were cavalry, and the number was not tens of thousands, but it was still more than ten times more than the cavalry of the Wu army.

"Get out of the way." Xu Ji ordered that he should use another suspicious tactic.

The prestige of the Grand Governor had been established, and the people were willing to listen to his orders, but when they moved the cart, they always had to glance at the officers and soldiers from time to time.

Xu Ji sent another order, ordering Song Xingju and Dai Pohu to take their subordinates back to the city to rest, and the other soldiers who participated in the battle last night carried all the military materials that could be moved, and the thousands of newly arrived reinforcements lined up to confront the officers and soldiers.

He also specially explained that when the soldiers came and went, they made more dust, and from a distance, it seemed that tens of thousands of people were moving frequently.

The newly arrived officers and soldiers also fell for the trick, and instead of launching a charge, they retreated several miles and put on the defensive.

Some people did not leave, insisted on staying with the governor, Meng Shenglun was very guilty, he had vowed to protect the princess's son, but soon after entering the camp, he lost his way, and only returned to Xu Ji after dawn, and never left half a step.

In winter, when it got dark early, the officers and soldiers sent hundreds of men to launch two tentative attacks, and Xu Ji forbade his subordinates to raise their swords and guns, but instead sent half of them away, leaving only more than 1,000 people.

The Wu army lacked drills, more than 1,000 people stood horizontally and vertically, and did not form a formation, and Xu Ji did not arrange troops, but only asked the soldiers to keep an eye on the generals and colonels of the headquarters.

The sky was a little dark, Xu Ji got on his horse, led the troops to advance for several miles, and also put on a tentative posture, seeing that the officers and soldiers refused to accept the recruitment, he slowly retreated to the camp outside Runan City.

The same trick turned out to be so easy to use, Xu Ji even called it lucky in his heart.

After entering the camp, he could no longer support it, and almost fell directly to the ground when he dismounted.

Meng Seng Lun sensed that something was wrong, and immediately came over to ask: "Is the Metropolitan Governor injured?" ”

Tang Weitian's mouth was fast, "It's not that jack scale?" He attacked the Governor last night and almost ......"

"It's not a big deal, the jack scale is dead, and it deserves it."

Meng Shenglun was shocked, "The general with the surname of the little surname actually did such a thing!" ”

"It's just a jack scale, and it has nothing to do with other generals." Xu Ji pushed the two away and insisted on walking back to the tent by himself.

With the help of Tang Weitian, Xu Ji took off his armor, his body was bruised and swollen everywhere, and there were blood stains under his right ribs.

Meng Shenglun blamed himself even more, "It's all my fault, it was I who recommended the jack scale to the Metropolitan Governor, thinking that he wouldn't have bad intentions, and I didn't protect ...... last night."

Xu Ji smiled: "This is a war, how can you not be injured?" Just rub it, I can stand it. ”

Xu Ji stood up and was about to get dressed and go out to patrol the camp, Meng Shenglun pressed him, "The metropolitan governor is resting, I will arrange the guards, and I will ask you to decide if there is something." ”

Xu Ji was actually strong and self-supporting, so he had to say: "Then there is General Lao Meng, call General Bao, let him be responsible for rewarding the soldiers, don't drag it out tonight." ”

"Yes." Meng Shenglun retired.

Tang Weitian found water and silk cloth, wiped off the bloodstains, and looked at it carefully, "It's okay, the bleeding has stopped." ”

"I said it was fine." Xu Ji put on his clothes again, his armor was heavy and hard, and he had to give up.

There was a shouting outside, and Xu Ji said, "Go and see, what's going on outside?" ”

Tang Weitian went out, came back quickly, and said with a smile: "It's a group of officers and soldiers, everyone is teasing them." ”

The officers and men ran fast, but hundreds of people were still captured, and the Wu army won a great victory for the first time, and its morale was high, and despite the danger of the large army outside, they humiliated the prisoners in the camp to the fullest.

Xu Ji didn't like this kind of thing, and said to Tang Weitian: "Find Song Xing to cut it." ”

Song Xingju took the greatest credit, and came in like a gust of wind, excitement, cold wind, and fine wine all at the same time, making his cheeks crimson and his chest up, "The Metropolitan Governor called me?" Tomorrow I will fight a decisive battle with officers and soldiers, and I will still be a pioneer! ”

Xu Ji hadn't figured out how to deal with the army of officers and soldiers, he only knew that if he fought hard, Wu Jun would definitely not be an opponent.

"We'll talk about the decisive battle later, and the rewards are gone?"

"It's being divided, General Bao is a fair man, everyone is satisfied, and they are all willing to give a share to the Grand Duke."

Xu Ji smiled: "No need, it is the soldiers who contribute, and they all deserve to be rewarded." Well, you go and put the officers and soldiers prisoners in prison and don't let them be humiliated. ”

Song Xingju was stunned for a moment, "Humiliating officers and soldiers can improve the morale of our army." ”

"The morale is enough, I'm worried that it will be overpowered."

"Good...... Well, since the Metropolitan Governor ordered it. Song Xing cut out, and the noise outside quickly disappeared.

Tang Weitian said: "Don't be too kind-hearted. ”

"Am I too kind?"

"In the Incarnation Army, half of everything that is stolen must be given to the leader, and the leader will return a part according to his mood, but no one wants it at all."

"Hey, so there are many soldiers in the world, but it is extremely chaotic, and it is difficult to become a big climate after all."

"I also think that this distribution is unreasonable, but the officers and soldiers are all bad people, and they are not wronged if they are killed, and most governors should not save them."

Xu Ji sighed lightly, "The officers and soldiers are all recruited, and they were originally ordinary people, and they were forced to join the army, why are they all bad people?" ”

"It wasn't bad originally, but it's bad when you become an officer and soldier...... There may be some truth in what the Metropolitan Governor said, in short, don't be too kind-hearted, beware of the fact that there are guys like jack scales in the army. ”

"I'll be careful."

Xu Ji still wanted to go out and take a look, so as not to be suspicious, and just as he got up, Song Xingqi came in from the outside again, "Does the Metropolitan Governor recognize a person named Zhou Lu?" ”

Xu Ji was stunned for a while, and only after reacting for a while suddenly remembered that this was the old man of Dongdu, and said in surprise: "Zhou Lu, the son of the Marquis of Dongyang? ”

"Yes, he did claim to be the son of a Hou, said that his family would pay for him to ransom him, and said that he was a classmate and friend of the Grand Duke."

"Bring him." Xu Ji is not a friend of Zhou Lu, but he has no malice.

Zhou Lu was pushed into the tent by the soldiers, crawled over on his knees, kowtowed first, then raised his head, stared at Xu Ji for a while, and suddenly cried loudly, "It turns out that it's really you!" ”

Tang Weitian pulled out the stick pinned to his belt and shouted: "It's a big person, why are you crying?" This is the Governor of Wu, come and see you. ”

"The old man Zhou Lu, meet Governor Xu." Zhou Lu was obedient and immediately changed his words.

"How did you end up here?" Xu Ji asked.

Zhou Lu knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, although he stopped his tears, his face was still crying, "It's all my father, I didn't let me come out to practice, I thought that the rebels here were ...... No, no, the Wu army was relatively weak, and it was defeated with one blow, but I didn't expect to meet Xu Dadudu. After I was arrested, I heard that Xu Dadudu's original surname was Lou ......"

Xu Ji shook his head, if the officers and soldiers are full of people like Zhou Lu, they will be "defeated with one blow", "What happened to the Eastern Capital?" ”

"Huh? Still is...... That's it. ”

"Let me ask you, are the King of Xiangdong and the Empress Dowager still in the Eastern Capital? Or does Lan Sui hold the power of the army? Or does the Liang family control the little emperor? What is the sentiment of the people in the city? What's wrong with the minister? Are the officers and soldiers still willing to die for the Tiancheng Dynasty? ”

Zhou Lu blinked, couldn't answer a question, thought for a while, and said: "I know one thing, the general has been reinstated to his old position, and he will soon lead the army to quell the chaos......"

The Lan and Liang families must be desperate before they let the general go out of the mountain again.

Xu Ji was about to ask again, when Meng Shenglun led more than a dozen guards in, all armed with knives and guns, and there were blood stains on their bodies.

Xu Ji was startled, Tang Weitian clenched the stick, and Zhou Lu screamed directly, so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and trembled.

Meng Seng Lun said: "The governor of the capital can rest assured, from now on, no one in the army dares to have dissenting intentions, and the generals with the surname have been killed by us." ”
