General Lu.

Too student.

Because of criticizing Hua Shigang's policy, he was abandoned by the court and could not be an official.

After Fang La's uprising, he also organized some people to follow Fang La in Canlikou, Fuyang.

After Fang La occupied Hangzhou, he advocated first capturing Jinling, which was not heavily guarded, guarding the Yangtze River, and then taking advantage of the situation to seize Southeast states and counties.

Fang La was too optimistic that the extremely corrupt Northern Song Dynasty could not send heavy troops soon, and the rebel army could take Jiangnan calmly.

Therefore, most of the main force of Fangla's uprising army sent southward, only focusing on capturing the two counties of Zhejiang Province; while in the north, only Fang Qifo's partial division was sent to the north, which blocked the fortress alone. The development of fighters also dispersed the troops, making the rebel army in a passive situation from the beginning in the face of the Song army's massive counterattack.

When the Song army was approaching Hangzhou, General Lu said "withdraw from Hangzhou immediately", thinking that this was "the only feasible solution".

Fang La was unwilling to give up the city of Hangzhou, which had been won in bloody battles.

The result was a big defeat.

It can be said that if Fang La adopted General Lu's suggestion, at least he wouldn't lose so quickly and so badly.

Later, when he was captured and escorted to the capital, General Lv escaped from under Han Shizhong's eyes—it is not to be denied that Tong Guan's army caused chaos due to armed fights, but a scholar can slip away in the chaotic fighting scene. It is not easy to walk.

After escaping, General Lu did not hide his identity, but continued to participate in the uprising persistently.

After Fang La was captured, there were still many rebels in Bangyuan and Yangtong areas in southern Zhejiang. About [-] rebel soldiers fought to the last breath to defend the base.

General Lu never surrendered until he finally failed and committed suicide.

Although General Lu is much less famous than Li Gang, Zhao Ding and others, it was because of General Lu's bad luck that he chose Fang La, a short-sighted person, so that his abilities were not brought into play at all.

Lu will have a good strategic vision and strong organizational skills.

What Li Yan admired most about General Lu was that he was determined to overthrow the Northern Song Dynasty, and he would never stop dying.

In Li Yan's view, only people like Lu Jiang are his most staunch supporters.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Yan grabbed General Lu's arm and said, "Tairan, you and your friends joined the group and solved a big problem in Liangshanpo!"

It turned out that the reason why General Lu didn't come here was because General Lu went back to Shezhou and Fuyang to recruit talents for Li Yan after he went to Shuibo Liangshan and talked with Wen Huanzhang.

General Lu not only earned fourteen literati for Li Yan, but also earned Li Yan a great talent——Fang La’s general, both civil and military, official worship Nanguo Shangshu, during the battle of Shezhou, designed to kill Liangshan's Shengshui General Shan Tinggui and Shenhuo General Wei Dingguo broke through the siege when the city of Shezhou was broken. Yin.

Just like what Li Yan said, General Lu solved a big problem for Li Yan.

Shi Bao had already broken through Namwon Mansion and went straight to Luozhou. If Shi Bao broke through Luozhou, then from a general point of view, the Liangshan Army had penetrated the south and connected Nanjing to Jeju Island.

Of course, this is just a general direction. Because of the well-informed three prefectures, Shi Bao had no chance to attack. Shi Bao had no choice but to bypass those three prefectures and continue to fight forward. The capital city needs to be attacked slowly.

In addition, Shi Bao attacked all the prefectures, not the counties and counties at all. There were [-] to [-] counties and hundreds of counties on his way, and these had to be captured bit by bit.

At present, Zhu Wu has occupied all the prefectures and cities that Shi Bao had laid down, and pushed them bit by bit from north to south.

As of three days ago, Zhu Wu had pacified the surrounding areas of Nanjing, the southern part of the Central Plains Road, and parts of the Henan Road.

Li Yan instructed to set up this part of the area as Lelang County, with Qiu Xian as the prefect, Xiao Rang as the general judge (and the county magistrate of Qingzhou), and Cheng Wanli as the magistrate of Tian'an County - Li Yan did not have one or two thousand literati to refine Management, at present, he can only adopt Guo Yong's opinion to follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in setting up the four counties of Han Dynasty, divide the two southern lands into two large counties, Lelang County and Zhenfan County, and temporarily turn all other states and counties into counties. As for the original At the county level, it is temporarily banned.

However, although Li Yan has tried his best to simplify the management organization, there are still not enough people. Li Yan can't even make up more than [-] county magistrates, so that many areas in Lelang County can only be controlled by the military. It's a mess, not to mention development, the status quo is hard to maintain.

Qiu Xian asked Li Yan for management personnel every day, but Qiu Xian was really anxious and sent someone to send a list to Li Yan.

Whether Li Yan wants to invite Xiao Jiasui and Xu Guanzhong, whether it is Li Gang, Zhao Ding and others who want to earn money, whether it is the people recommended by Sun Jing, Guo Yong, and Qiu Xian, or the people Sun Jing goes to Tokyo Bianliang to earn money, It's all too far to quench your thirst.

Only the dozen or so literati brought by General Lu can meet the urgent needs. Needless to say, Li Yan can at least gather the twenty or so magistrates of Lelang County. As for some of them, they are not competent. Li Yan can only say that something is better than nothing, let them take it for granted, and adjust slowly when there are more literati in the future.

With the help of Jiu Jin, Li Yan went straight to the dry goods and said: "Tairan, all these people you brought will go to Nanjing to report to the prefect Qiu Xian, and the prefect Qiu will arrange for them to serve as county magistrates in various counties of Lelang County. Go directly to Zhenfan County to find Zhu Wu Junji, first cooperate with him to pacify Zhenfan County, and then you will be the prefect of Zhenfan County, as for the county magistrate under your command, I will gradually assign you." Then Li Yan turned his head He said to Wang Yin: "You stay with me and help me lead the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army."

After hearing Li Yan's arrangement for them, General Lu, Wang Yin and others were all overjoyed!
When they heard the names of Lelang County and Zhenfan County, how could they, who have read poetry and books, imagine that Li Yanding followed the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and painted the entire peninsula as Lelang County, Zhenfan County, Xuantu County, and Lintun County. County four counties.

In this case, Zhenfan County will definitely not be smaller than most states and counties in the Song Dynasty.

In other words, General Lu has changed from Baiding to the prefect of the third and fourth rank Jiedu Prefecture in one fell swoop!
Wang Yin's situation may be better. The commanders of the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army are under the leadership of Li Yan himself, but Li Yan has so many affairs, how can he lead these two armies all the time? It will fall into Wang Yin's hands.

As for the others, they also changed from Bai Ding to a veritable county magistrate in an instant!

General Lu and the others said happily, "This time is the right time!"

Li Yan was also happy, "Finally, a group of civil servants came, and finally they are no longer the grassroots team."

When he was happy, Li Yan inevitably drank a few more glasses.

After Ruan Xiaoqi helped Li Yan out, he asked Li Yan, "Brother, are you going to test Wang Yu's four daughters?"

Li Yan said with the strength of wine: "Check, why not check, I'm not a junk collector, I'm already the governor of the Anton Protectorate Mansion, why should I wrong myself if I'm not pretty!"
