On the front line of Lujiang County, Xunpeng garrisoned the camp.
The Qin army led by Xun Peng was based here. He had sent troops south several times to attack the army organized by Lujiang County, hoping to break through Lujiang County's defense line head-on.
Unfortunately, they all ended in failure.
Xun Peng is good at attacking with cavalry, but unfortunately here in Lujiang County, his cavalry did not play any role.
Because there are water networks all over the Lujiang area, no matter how much cavalry you have, it will be difficult to open up the formation. Even in a certain area, the cavalry can move vertically and horizontally, but after leaving a certain area, it will be a field trail again in the blink of an eye.
A road can only be used by one or two people to walk. How can your cavalry move forward in a large scale?
The cavalry could not form a formation, and Xun Peng's infantry did not have an advantage.
So much so that the situation froze.
In the Chinese army's tent.
Xun Peng was looking at the sand table in front of him, which he had arranged. There was a rough map of Lujiang County on the sand table.
With this sand table, he can understand the topography clearly.
Unfortunately, now, he cannot go south.
Xun Peng had already sent a letter back, hoping that Lin Feng would personally dispatch the army south to join the war. In Xun Peng's view, as long as Lin Feng took action personally, there was nothing to fear from a mere Lujiang County, but it was a pity that he was rejected.
This made Xun Peng very helpless.
Relying on his own ability alone, he was unable to defeat Lujiang's army and achieve victory, so he was trapped on the border of Lujiang County.
Lin Feng refused to support him and said that if he was allowed to sit here, he would naturally wait until Lujiang County surrendered.
What kind of thing is this?
He would wait until Lujiang County surrendered if he just sat down, which he thought was impossible.
When Xun Peng was looking at the sand table boredly, there was a burst of rapid footsteps. A soldier entered, clasped his fists in salute, and reported: "General Xun, two people came from outside the camp. One said it was Lu Guang, the prefect of Wei County, and the other said... The prefect of Lujiang is patrolling the land."
"ah!"
Xun Peng was surprised.
Lu Xun is here.
You must know that during this period of time, the person he talked about the most was Lu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang County.
This person did not have a particularly prominent reputation or great achievements, but such a person became his nightmare.
Lu Xun is now outside the military camp, which means he is here to surrender.
Wait, why does the name Lu Guang sound so familiar?
Xun Peng thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought that Lu Guang was the person under Lin Feng's care and was very important in the court. The news Xun Peng received said that Lu Guang was very capable and had made outstanding achievements in the administration.
Lu Guang!
Land patrol!
Both have the surname Lu. Is there any reason for these two parties?
Xun Peng suppressed all the speculations in his heart and ordered: "Go and invite people in."
The soldiers went to inform. Not long after, Lu Guang and Lu Xun entered. Lu Guang cupped his hands and said, "Lu Guang, I have met General Xun Peng."
Xun Peng cupped his fists and returned the greeting: "Prefect Lu serves in Wei County, why is he here in Lujiang County?"
Lu Guang smiled and said: "The Duke sent me an order to go back to Lujiang County to persuade my father to surrender. Now, my father has come to see General Xunpeng and is willing to submit to the Qin State. The entire Lujiang County is willing to be included in the Qin State."
Xun Peng's pupils shrank.
Lu Guang was actually Lu Xun's son and a native of Jin.
Let him be surprised.
Xun Peng's thoughts changed rapidly, with a bright smile on his rough face. Lu Guang is Lin Feng's man, and now that Lu Xun has surrendered, he is also Lin Feng's man, and cannot be offended.
He waved his hand and said: "You two, sit down and talk."
"Thank you!"
Lu Guang and Lu Xun sat down together.
Xun Peng looked solemn and said solemnly: "This time the Luxun Governor brings Lujiang County to surrender, what kind of regulations are there? Should you go north to Yinling County to meet the Duke first, or should I go directly to Lujiang County?"
Lu Guang shook his head and replied: "We don't do it separately, we do it simultaneously. My father will first take General Xun to the border to take over the army in Lujiang County. Then, the army can go south. As for my father, I will go to Yinling County first and meet him. The Duke will return."
Xun Peng thought about it in his mind and said, "I think this is inappropriate. Of course, it's just my opinion."
Lu Guang asked: "What does General Xun think?"
Xun Peng replied: "Although I have taken over the army of Lujiang County, the prestige of the Luxun Prefect in Lujiang County is too high. Once there is any disturbance in Lujiang County and it is said that I killed the Luxun Prefect, the people will probably boil over."
"When the time comes, everyone will resist."
"The problems I face are very troublesome."
"So I think that if you two want to go north to Yinling County, you can first let me take over the army at the border. I will temporarily station the army here. Next, the land patrol governor will go south, and he and I will go south together. This is the safest of."
Xun Peng said sternly: "The war in the south of the Yangtze River is different. The army cannot line up and form a formation, making it difficult to fight, so we must be more cautious."
"Can!"
Lu Guang nodded and answered.
Lu Xun nodded. Without wasting any more time, he took Xun Peng directly to the military camp.
Lu Xun had high prestige in Lujiang County. He had previously ordered resistance, and all the soldiers below resisted with all their might, and no one surrendered. Now that Lu Xun ordered them to surrender, everyone stopped resisting and allowed Xun Peng to send people to take over.
In a short period of time, Land Patrol completed the transfer of troops. The soldiers of the army were controlled, the weapons were confiscated, and Xun Peng took over the army in Lujiang.
Lu Xun stopped staying and went north with Lu Guang.
The fastest way to go north was by water. In less than two days, Lu Guang and his son arrived at Yinling County.
The father and son entered the city and asked for an audience when they arrived outside the military camp.
Not long after, Lin Feng personally walked out of the Chinese army tent and came to the gate of the camp. His eyes fell on Lu Xun, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Lu Xun is sitting in Lujiang. The people's livelihood is prosperous, the people are loyal, and the people are united. It is admirable." .”
Lu Xun looked humble and said, "The Duke praises you."
"please!"
Lin Feng waved his hand, led the people into the camp, and sat down in the Chinese army's tent.
After Lin Feng asked people to watch tea, he did not go around in circles and asked directly: "This time Mr. Lu Xun returns to the Qin State, does he plan to become an official in the court? Or hold a local position?"
"Serving in the imperial court."
Lu Xun answered directly.
He had discussed this outcome with Lu Guang clearly when he was in Shu County.
Lin Feng nodded and said: "Since the Lu family is willing to surrender and Mr. Lu Xun is also willing to serve in the imperial court, it's settled. You will go south first and make arrangements for the handover of the Lu family. The candidate for Lujiang governor must be a Qin person. The entire Lujiang County will also face reforms such as imperial examinations and taxation."
"It's inevitable."
Lu Xun nodded and answered.
The surrender of Lujiang County cannot be a separate system. Without following Qin's system, it would be impossible to keep Lujiang County.
Lin Feng felt relieved when he saw Lu Xun agreed.
He talked with Lu Xun and Lu Guang, and when it was almost noon, he left the father and son to have lunch before sending them off.
Lin Feng returned to the main tent of the Chinese army. He first arranged for people from Heibingtai to quickly spread the news of Lujiang County's surrender in the Jin Kingdom, and then arranged for people to send a letter to the court to inform the front line of the news that Lujiang County had surrendered.
After everything was arranged, Lin Feng waited for now.
After Xun Peng completely controls Lujiang County, the next step is to continue to attack eastward.
Destroying the Jin State was the agreed strategy.
