Ah Nan recounted the cause and effect of the matter, and Lu Zhi finally understood many things that he did not understand.
Ah Nan and the other chieftain named Ah Bei had initially mobilized 20,000 troops from the two tribes to find their wives. After that, they fought and there was no turning back anymore.
After a few months of wild pursuit, only Shouchun and Hefei remained unconquered in Jiujiang Prefecture. Ah Nan led his troops to besiege the prefect and his son in Shouchun City. On the other side, Hefei City was surrounded by Ah Bei's troops.
The two barbarian armies did not have any siege weapons, so they could not break through the two cities even after besieging them for more than a month.
It should be said that the barbarian army had never thought of breaking through the city from the beginning. The city had always been destroyed by itself.
Since things had come to this, Ah Nan and the others did not know how to end this. They didn't want to occupy Jiujiang County, and they couldn't. Their bottom line was to kill the king and save the two madams.
"Chieftain Ah Nan means that you have dispatched your troops this time to look for Madam. However, the current situation had already become a real riot. This was an ironclad fact, and he had to give an explanation to the imperial court and the people of Jiujiang County.”Lu Zhi also had a headache.
"General Lu, our two divisions didn't burn, kill, or loot. Those who died were all killed in the chaos. As long as the general lets me go, I'm willing to talk to Chief Ah Bei to resolve the siege of Hefei.”Ah Nan also knew that the person opposite him was the newly appointed prefect of Jiujiang Prefecture, Lu Zhi.
Seeing that Lu Zhi did not answer, Ah Nan continued,"As long as we hand over Wang Dao and our two madams, I promise that our two tribes will retreat to the mountains and forests and never offend the Great Han Dynasty again.”
Lu Zhi didn't know what to do.
As the saying goes, the law doesn't punish the masses. Could it be that he wanted to kill the hundreds of thousands of accomplices and the two tribes?
This was obviously impossible.
Was Lu Zhi thinking about whether there was a plan to get it done once and for all?
"It's good, but how can I believe you? If I let you go and you hide in the forest, who should I reason with?”Lu Zhi nodded and said bluntly,"How can you guarantee that you will do what you say?"”
"General Lu, even if you kill me, will you solve the problem? Besides, even if I run away, it won't change anything, right?”"General Lu, you Han people always say that a real man keeps his word. I'm not afraid either."”
Many tribes in Shan Yue made a living by hunting and mining, only some of them were farmers. They would only appear in Han settlements a few times a year, and they would also use copper, iron, and mountain products to exchange for some necessities such as salt and cloth.
Different living habits meant that it would take several generations for them to integrate with each other.
Without the endorsement of the current dynasty, the most Lu Zhi could do was to make the border between Han and Man communicate, which meant that they could live in peace with each other. Any more than that was not something the current Lu Zhi could do.
"Men, untie Chieftain Ah Nan and bring over his sword.”Lu Zhi decided to take a gamble.
Lu Zhi thought that at most, they would fight a few more fierce battles. If they gambled correctly, they would win Jiujiang in one battle.
Under the confusion of many generals, Ah Nan bowed to Lu Zhi and left in the morning light.
……
After Governor Wang Hong asked for help from the Imperial Court and bribed Zhang Rang, he brought his son Wang Dao from Yin Tomb to Shouchun City.
Well, Shouchun City was much bigger and stronger than Yinling City. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Governor Wang Hong was not stupid at all.
In fact, it was indeed so. Ah Nan had led hundreds of thousands of people to trap Shouchun City for more than a month, but they were helpless.
Governor Wang Hong waited for reinforcements from all walks of life to lift the siege of Shouchun.
It should be said that Wang Hong had never prepared for war.
In fact, it wasn't that Wang Hong didn't want to fight. In fact, other than flattering his superiors, bullying his subordinates, and playing politics, he was really useless. Words couldn't stabilize the country, and martial arts couldn't stabilize the country.
Shouchun City's government office was occupied by Governor Wang Hong and his son. The father and son were chatting.
"Father, why didn't you ask Yangzhou for help? And seek help from Luoyang?" Wang Dao humbly consulted his father.
"Humph! You unfilial son, are you afraid that not enough people know about your little matter?”Wang Hong glared at his only son and said,""The people transferred from the capital are easier to fool, and Lord Zhang is easier to manipulate.”
Wang Dao gave a thumbs-up and said,"Yes, but Father, the entire Jiujiang County is in chaos now. Will we be in trouble?”
Wang Hong was furious and said,""You little brat, what do you know? You only know how to care about your crotch.”
Wang Dao lowered his head and said angrily,"I'm just trying to let the Old Wang family spread their branches and leaves. Who asked Father not to give birth to a few more!"”
Wang Dao didn't know what it meant to not blame the masses. He only knew that with his father and Lord Zhang Rang around, he could rest easy.
"You unfilial son!" Wang Hong facepalmed, speechless.
……
In the early hours of the morning, flames were lit outside Shouchun City, and the sound of fighting shook the sky.
The soldiers guarding the city did not know what was going on, so the captain quickly reported to the prefect.
"Humph, this is a small trick of the barbarians. They want to lure us to open the city gate and take the opportunity to attack the city. Don't mind the outside, we'll talk about it at dawn." Wang Hong was half-awake and didn't think much of it.
Wang Hong was quite generous. He was surrounded for more than a month, yet he was still able to enter the dream. Now that it was a mess outside, he said casually that he would wait until dawn.
"Milord, what if His Majesty sent reinforcements? Who can bear the blame?" The captain of the city guard stole a few glances. Under the moonlight, he could clearly see that it was a fully armored Han army.
"Even if the imperial army of the capital comes, they have to defeat the hundreds of thousands of rioters outside the city.”Wang Hong waved his hand.
"Bang!" Wang Hong closed the door and went back into his blanket to daydream.
Wang believed that Shouchun City had thick walls and that the barbarians would not be able to enter the city even if they cried.
As for the killings outside the city, they could do whatever they wanted.
The lieutenant who reported was stunned. He shook his head and led his men to guard the city wall carefully. He did not dare to open the city gate or fight without permission.
The sky gradually brightened, and the outside of the city gradually quieted down. Only then did the city guard discover that the hundred thousand men that had surrounded Shouchun City for more than a month had disappeared. Other than the mess outside the city, which proved that a large number of people had been stationed there, no one else could be seen.
"Ah, we're out of trouble!" Loud cheers immediately erupted from the city walls and spread into the city.
Wang Hong also heard it. He tidied up his official robe and calmly brought his subordinates to the city wall.
"Eh, these rebels have disappeared. I wonder which group of people repelled these barbarians?”Wang Hong looked around.
"Sir, should we open the city gates?" "The people in the city have been restless for a long time," the city guard asked.”
"Is that so? Are you sure this isn't a trap?”Wang Hong looked at the captain and said,""Wait a little longer. If anyone in the city is restless, kill them without mercy!”
Wang Hong was not good at fighting, but he was very good at dealing with the people under his rule. It was hard not to admire him.
At this moment, a group of people walked out of the forest outside the city. They were in a strict formation and had an iron-blooded and murderous aura. In front of the group was a large flag with a bright red character Lu on it.
"So it's Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan. No wonder they were able to resolve the siege of Shouchun in one battle.”Wang Hong muttered to himself.
