Lujiang County.
On the day Tu Wanxu went out to battle, he left Wang Zhi to stay behind.
"It's probably time for the general to return in triumph.”
Wang Zhi looked into the distance and muttered to himself.
Rumble!
Just as the noon sun was at its most dazzling, a huge army suddenly appeared on the horizon.
The army raised the flag of the Great Sui Dynasty high up in the air and charged forward, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"The general has returned in triumph?"
Wang Zhi was overjoyed. If the army returned triumphantly at this time, it would definitely be the end of the battle.
If they were to encounter any obstacles or unforeseen circumstances, it was impossible for the army to suddenly appear in this place.
Because of the distance, Wang Zhi couldn't see if the leader of the army was Tu Wanxu.
"Attack the rebels!"
The army didn't approach Lujiang County completely. Instead, they shouted in the middle.
Hearing this, Wang Zhi's body suddenly trembled. The moment the army returned, it would be the time to attack the rebel army from the inside.
"A thousand people will stay in the city. The rest will follow me out to respond to the general.”
Wang Zhi did not have the slightest doubt and quickly gave the order.
After giving the order, Wang Zhi turned around and headed towards the city gate. The 9,000-strong army had already gathered in the city.
Rumble!
The city slowly opened, and a heavy sound was heard.
Cao Yun, who was approaching Lujiang County from afar, smiled slightly. When he saw the city gate open, he knew that the enemy had been fooled.
"Fang Xuanling, listen up. You will lead 3,000 soldiers to Lujiang County.”
Cao Yun ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir!"
Fang Xuanling received the order and left the main force with three thousand soldiers.
At this moment, Wang Zhi led his army out of the city gates and toward Hou Junji's garrison.
If Wang Zhi hadn't changed his course, he would have been able to move directly toward Hou Junji, right in the middle of Hou Junji and Cao Yun's army. This was a perfect encirclement.
"Attack the rebels!"
Wang Zhi shouted loudly. At this moment, he was filled with battle intent.
As he neared Hou Junji's garrison, Cao Yun and his army arrived.
When the two armies weren't far apart, Wang Zhi suddenly realized that the so-called Sui Army wasn't led by Tu Wanxu, but by an unfamiliar youth.
"Oh no!"
Wang Zhi's expression changed drastically. He instantly knew that he had fallen into a trap.
"Tu Wanxu is dead!"
Seeing that Wang Zhi had seen through him, Cao Yun immediately lifted Tu Wanxu's head and shouted.
Hou Junji had long since heard the commotion outside the tent, but he had not moved. After all, there were only less than 2,000 soldiers in this tent.
If he acted rashly, the enemy would definitely see through his tricks.
However, when he heard that Tu Wanxu was dead, he was overjoyed. He knew that his lord had led the army here, and his plan had succeeded. Now, it was time to complete the encirclement.
"Follow me!"
Hou Junji raised his spear and dismounted.
The two thousand soldiers were ready to go, and with Hou Junji's order, they began to charge toward the Sui army.
At this moment, Wang Zhi wanted to return to Lujiang Prefecture, but it was too late. After all, he had already led his army too far away from the city.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling had already led his army into Lujiang County.
"The general is dead?"
Wang Zhi's face was deathly pale. When he had seen Hou Junji and his two thousand soldiers charge out of the rebel camp, he knew that they had been tricked.
What that youth said was probably true.
"Kill them!"
Since they couldn't return to the city, they would start fighting.
Wang Zhi ordered his army to charge toward Hou Junji. He knew that Hou Junji's location was his only chance of breaking through.
But what he didn't know was that when Cao Yun had shouted that Tu Wanxu was dead, the morale of the Sui army had already been thrown into chaos. When he looked at Hou Junji's army, he saw that their morale was high.
The two armies collided, and the crisp sound of metal colliding rang out continuously.
Hou Junji's two thousand soldiers were mostly from the River East Army, and their eyes were bloodshot as they roared like wild beasts.
Once the killers were sent out, they would attack the enemy's weak points without showing any mercy.
For a moment, Sui Jun's screams rose and fell, and scarlet blood kept splashing out. The scene was really chilling.
Wang Zhi was unable to break out of the encirclement for a while. At the same time, Cao Yun led his army to attack.
In the midst of the chaos, Wang Zhi had wanted to find a way out, but Hou Junji had shouted and sent him flying off his horse.
"We won't kill those who surrender!"
After a short battle, the Sui army suffered a lot of casualties. Cao Yun shouted.
With this shout, the Sui army, which originally had 9,000 men but now only had 5,000 men left, put down their weapons and chose to surrender.
Another important reason was that Lujiang City had already been occupied by the other party. They did not even have the chance to return. How could they not surrender?
The battle had come to an end. The Jiangdong Army had won.
As Fang Xuanling had no resistance when he entered the city, he had also taken down Lujiang County, which only had 1,000 men left.
With that, Lujiang Prefecture was declared defeated, and the army began to clean up the entire battlefield.
......
At dawn the next day.
The dazzling sun peeked out from the clouds, and Lujiang County was surrounded by dense fog.
The smell of blood in the air had lessened significantly, but what was surprising was that the white fog seemed to be mixed with some scarlet.
From this, it was not difficult to see how tragic the battle yesterday was.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Cao Yun led his troops into the city.
"Open the granary and help the people."
This was Cao Yun's first order after entering the city.
Only by doing so could he stabilize the hearts of the people.
"Lujiang County was broken through just like that?”
"That's right. It was broken through by this young general in front of us. Moreover, he immediately issued an order to distribute food after breaking through the city.”
"These are not the main points. I heard that Lujiang County has collected many beauties from the surrounding areas and is preparing to bring them to Jiangdu in the next few days.”
Some of the braver commoners began to discuss softly after seeing that the Jiangdong Army had no ill intentions towards them.
Cao Yun also learned from the discussions of these commoners that Lujiang County had collected many beautiful women.
He did not think about it carefully. The most important thing now was to stabilize the development of Lujiang County. He first headed in the direction of County Governor Manor.
When he arrived at County Governor Manor, it was also the time for him to take over Lujiang County.
"My lord!"
As soon as he arrived at the County Governor's Office's meeting hall, he saw Hou Junji smiling as he quickly made his way toward Cao Yun.
He seemed to be holding a high-quality painting in his hand. Because the painting was rolled up, the contents of the painting could not be seen clearly.
