The war continued, and more than 2,000 horses came from the north, which were led by Ren Tianxiang, who had recently been quite responsible for the Lu family, and they were killed after Wuling. Because there are a large number of people led by Yu Dayou in the north of Han Sufa's department, it is difficult to hide people's eyes and ears, so they can only come in batches. These two thousand men and horses have both the original elite of the Ren family and the elite soldiers brought out from Lunan.

Now that there are monks and elite soldiers joining, Han Sufa's courage suddenly became stronger, and the soldiers were not many but fine, and after Ren Tianxiang arrived for two hours and rested for a while, he launched a charge against the imperial court soldiers and horses. The soldiers who had just been killed and wounded in battle had just been sorted out, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court did not expect the second charge to come so quickly, this time Wu Ling and Ren Tianxiang took the lead, while the tired Cui Ling rested a little.

This kind of head-to-head confrontation, no strategy or strategy is very effective, it depends on the soldiers' training in peacetime. Moreover, the contact surface of facing the enemy head-on is limited, so the 3,000 fresh forces from the north just happened to meet it, and each of them fought bravely to kill the enemy either with high martial arts or with complementary cooperation. The hundred refining elite soldiers even formed a fire gun array, and the continuous fire guns advanced layer by layer, tearing a big hole in the ranks of the Ying Tianfu armies at once.

Han Sufa timely ordered the whole army to advance and expand the results of the battle, the sharp blade began, the army expanded, and in an instant, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were defeated and retreated towards the city of Nanjing. The garrison of Nanjing City came to the aid at this time, and various batteries on the high city wall opened fire at the same time, and for a time the imperial court soldiers and horses were killed and wounded. And at this moment, the dust and smoke were billowing in the south, and this big word Lu was written on the flag, and Lu Yi, the young master of the Lu family, came! For a while, the crowd was excited. The fighting spirit was hearty, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court lost their fighting spirit in an instant when they saw the reinforcements coming, and they were frightened, and they either surrendered or fled in a hurry.

Han Sufa's face was a little ugly. At this time, he did not enter the city, but he was afraid that this credit would not be counted. After Lu Yi's army joined the battle group, it was obvious that the Ying Tianfu army was completely defeated.

The gate of Nanjing City was opened, and the defenders inside shouted the young master Chitose. A team of more than 100 people rushed out of Lu Yi's army, and the leader should be Lu Yi himself, and the person next to him was needless to say that it was the escort. I saw that the young men of this group of guards were burly. The southerners are different from the northerners, not tall enough, but this group of guards has a different spirit. Although it is not very tall, they are all heroic and cool, showing the true colors of men.

Lu Yiren is tall and big, not to mention that he stands out in the south or in the north, and now his height is better than Lu Bing. Lu Yi smiled and turned over and dismounted, and walked in front of Han Sufa and the others. Han Sufa bowed his head. shouted the young master in his mouth.

Han Sufa didn't kneel on one knee. Lu Yi came up, supported Han Sufa with both arms, and helped Han Sufa up as soon as his arms competed. Lu Yi said: "General Han, don't be like this, you can defeat the officers and soldiers of Ying Tianfu and solve the danger of Nanjing City, General Han has made great contributions, and I thank the brothers in Nanjing City." ”

Go ahead. Lu Yi was polite to everyone again, looking both majestic and kind. Not condescending, but not arrogant. Immediately, Lu Yi grabbed Han Sufa's arm and said, "General Han, follow me into the city, and I will lead the horse for you." ”

"Young master, this is absolutely unacceptable." Han Sufa hurriedly said, Lu Yi laughed and said: "Why not, according to respect, I am not a descendant of the young master, but a concubine, you are an important minister of the Lu family, I should lead the horse with you." According to your age, you are from my uncle's generation, why should I lead you with a horse? In terms of today's merits, General Han has made great contributions, and he is one of the heroes of the Lu family, so it is reasonable that I, as a member of the Lu family, should lead the horse with you, and General Han must not refuse. ”

Han Sufa was about to say more, but saw Wu Ling shaking his head at him. Although Han Sufa didn't understand the reason why Wu Ling shook his head, he understood that this meant to make him obey Lu Yi. Han Sufa's brain is not bright enough, but as the former master of Taihu Lake Water Village, and now the commander of nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, he is not stupid, in just a few hours, he can see that Wu Ling intends to show favor to himself, and its purpose is self-evident is to attach and form an alliance.

Han Sufa listened to Wu Ling's Jianyi, turned over and got on his horse, Lu Yi led the horse towards the city, the city cheered, and the three armies shouted the young master Chitose General Han's might!

"Amazing, it seems that Lu Yi is going to sit firmly in the position of the young master." Ren Tianxiang glanced at Wu Ling and said, Wu Ling smiled and said nothing, Cui Ling also smiled: "It's really a good trick to buy people's hearts, it seems to be a respect for Han Sufa, but the actual mountain is also equivalent to doing it to the whole army, from now on, who doesn't know that as long as he works hard for Lu Yi, he will be appreciated, can the young master deign to lead the horse for his subordinates, and he can't give up his face and give up the gold and silver titles?" ”

Ren Tianxiang laughed and said, "So in the future, I have to rely on Brother Cui's kind words." ”

"Why do you have to rely on me?" Cui Ling asked, Ren Tianxiang laughed evilly, obviously he thought that Cui Ling asked knowingly, Ren Tianxiang said: "Brother Cui is now the number one celebrity around the young master, if Lu Yi really sits on the position of the young master, and the Lu family takes over the world, you are above 10,000 people under one person, and you can't rely on you to carry it?" ”

Cui Ling shook his head and said, "You don't understand, do you know Lu Yi's master Duan Qingfeng, in fact, the reason why Uncle Duan and I followed Lu Bo is the same, and it is also because of this to follow him." When he was a friend and was born and died together for him, if one day I was unhappy and felt dirty or uncomfortable, maybe I would go away. ”

Ren Tianxiang nodded again and again: "I lost my words just now, and I was offended." Master Wuling, Brother Cui, let's enter the city too, right? ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The city of Nanjing is desolate, and the people of Nanjing have experienced a lot in the past few months. At first, when the cavalry of the Jinyi Guard occupied the city and took over the fortifications of the city, all the people fell into panic. But after hearing that this was Lu Bing's subordinate, he was relieved, because Lu Bing had made a good mass foundation for the people in Nanjing. However, some people are still worried, after all, Lu Bing at this time is different from the official of the imperial court, he is an anti-thief, and the official-oriented thinking in the past is deep-rooted, and he always thinks that the anti-thief is terrible and vicious, and the previous official propaganda Shandong people are living in dire straits, even if it is the former Nanjing Qingtian Lu Bing. Who knows if it's made for people to see.

But no one is stupid, I don't know how long Lu Jiajun can stay, and it will only be a day and night to change the flag. Soon the city of Nanjing was surrounded by Ying Tianfu's army. Many grain shops are closed, prices rise for a while, and all commodities are waiting to be sold at a price, who knows how long Nanjing City will be trapped. The people in the city complained, and some people even wanted to go out of the city to survive, and the Jinyi guards did not allow people to leave the city but allowed people from outside the city to enter the city, of course, they had to go through strict censorship. So the news from outside the city came in smoothly. When many people heard about the tragic situation of the people outside the city, they no longer worried about their lives in Nanjing. At least there is still a way to survive in the city, and those Ying Tianfu garrisons outside the city are like wild horses that have escaped the reins. Everywhere they spoiled the people, burned, killed, humiliated and plundered, and at least they could survive in the city.

But in the past half a month, Nanjing City has become worried again, because all kinds of resources in the city have been exhausted. In desperation, the knights of the Jinyi Guard smashed open the door of the rice shop. The government also opened a warehouse to release grain, which solved the temporary urgency, but if it drags on any longer, it is inevitable that hunger will become a disaster and even the possibility of changing children and eating.

At this time, the army outside Nanjing was repulsed, and the Lu army rushed into the city, and Lu Yi ordered the three armies not to burn, kill, humiliate and plunder, and even not to enter the houses at will, and could only lie down on the street with clothes. The people rejoiced. But the sergeants were a little dissatisfied, but that night everyone saw Lu Yi's efforts. Suddenly the spread of dissatisfaction ceased. Lu Yi bought real estate and bought a military house overnight for the army to enter and rest, and the sergeants were immediately jubilant, and Lu Yi promised to solve the problem the next morning.

Lu Yi didn't sleep that night, and personally visited the major merchants in the city, the merchants couldn't cry or laugh, Lu Yi said that he would be able to pay off the credit the day after tomorrow at the latest, and he only needed to solve the urgent need. Lu Yi, the young master of the Lu family, spoke, who dares to refuse, you have to say that you want to, at least you can know your personal feelings, but now you are borrowing, and you don't need to know a white strip of human affection in the past. knows Lu Bing's temperament, but no one has ever dealt with this young and excessive Lu Yi, who knows who he is, he is hairless and unstable, but he is afraid that these things will go and never return

I didn't expect Lu Yi not only to ask for things, but also to ask for money, when someone was vague, Lu Yi was furious and said Can the Lu family still owe you something? Under the coercion and temptation, these merchants did not dare to hide privately, and Lu Yi rewarded the three armies the next day, bounty and grain, large pieces of meat, large bowls of wine, large scales of gold and silver, and rewarded the brave soldiers and the heroes of the Nanjing Field, making a situation of great joy.

In addition to rewarding the soldiers, Lu Yi even set up a porridge shop in the city, although it was called a porridge shop, but in fact, it gave rice and broth, and the people all rushed to receive it, and everyone who did not call Lu Yi a benevolent lord, and those high prices seemed to drop overnight. One day later, a caravan of horses entered the city, carrying with them a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and countless grains and gunpowder. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the city, Lu Yi personally went to return the borrowed money and goods, and his words were immediately praised, and the people of all walks of life in the entire city of Nanjing praised him.

Lu Yi's spirit turned to officialdom, and all strata must be appeased properly, otherwise they are afraid that they will plant disasters, time waits for no one, and victory or defeat is in this battle.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Han Sufa has had nothing to do since he entered the city and let Lu Yi lead the horse in, and in the face of complicated military affairs, Lu Yi handled it in an orderly manner, while Han Sufa seemed a little struggling, so Lu Yi simply took over. Han Sufa was a little depressed, feeling that he had been hollowed out, but there were also bitter words, whether it was real power or false name, Lu Yi did not treat himself badly, and he respected himself very much, and he couldn't grasp any handle at all.

Wu Ling has been very close to Han Sufa recently, but Wu Ling is very busy and has been preaching Buddhism in Nanjing City, and people need spiritual sustenance the most during the panic period, so for a while, Wu Ling's followers gathered like a snowball.

Han Sufa couldn't hold back when he met Wu Ling, so he said the distress in his heart, to be honest, he didn't quite understand Lu Yi's intentions to do this, is this series of actions to buy people's hearts, if it is to buy people's hearts, is the price too great?

Wu Ling laughed out loud after hearing Han Sufa's doubts, and said to Han Sufa: "Forgive the little monk for being blunt, the swallow bird knows the ambition of the bird, Lu Yi doesn't care about the power struggle, but he is not a selfless person, but he covets this world." General Han, what kind of role do you think you can play in the Lu family? ”

Han Sufa was speechless for a while, there were many thoughts in his head, there were too many things to say but he couldn't say, Wu Ling continued to ask: "In other words, does General Han feel that many things have become more and more difficult to do since he became the boss?" ”

Han Sufa nodded, and Wu Ling said: "General Han dares to admit that it was the eldest husband who did it, why did Lu Yi lead the horse into the city for you that day?" Naturally, it is for you to see, and it is also for the generals of the three armies to see, so that they know that there is nothing wrong with following the Lu family, and the Lu family will not treat meritorious people badly. And now this is also to buy people's hearts, Lu Yi's ambition is better than his father's, and his ability is even stronger. Of course, his purpose in doing this is not only to buy people's hearts and let everyone meet the next storm together, but also to prepare for the future, to show the people in the city, but also to the enemies outside the city, and to see the Lu family's financial resources and strength. ”

"In the next storm, do you mean that Lu Yi will defend Nanjing and wait for the arrival of Yu Dayou and the Zhao family's army? And then fight to the death? Han Sufa asked.

Wu Ling nodded and said: "That's right, I guess Lu Yi wants to rely on the strength of the city defense to keep the armies of the two sides out, and it will change over time, as long as it drags on for a while, both sides will definitely eat dogs." If Lu Yi is smart enough, he will instigate them to exacerbate the contradictions between them, and if he is bold, he will surround them and send reinforcements to swallow them. It's just that Lu Yi's strength at this time is not enough, so he needs to defend to the death to gain time, and after Xu Yang's victory on all fronts, he will come back to cooperate with the battle inside and out. He came this time, firstly, for the sake of the morale of the army, and secondly, to mobilize all available resources as a young master, so that the time and place are favorable, and only he can win this war that is likely to be extremely difficult. And the wind rises and the fire helps the wind, as long as Lu Yi wins this battle, the position of the young master of the Lu family will basically be imprisoned. (To be continued......)
