Why do we say that ordinary heroic spirits are arbitrary for eternity?

Chapter 10 A war between rabble rousers
  Crows circled in the sky.

Below is the advancing refugee team.

After conquering the Tian family's Wubao a few days ago, the refugee team gained momentum and successively attacked the Wubao of the Li family and the Zhou family.

Wherever the refugees go, they kill men when they see them, pounce on women when they see them, and rob things when they see them.

Not to mention humans, even a chicken has no chance of living!

The mighty Wubao was breached one after another, and the refugees were completely transformed into bandits. What they did was horrifying and shocked the entire Nanyang County.

All the powerful forces joined forces and began to put pressure on the county governor. The matter was also brought to the upper level. The governor of Jingzhou personally issued an order urging Chu Gong, the governor of Nanyang County, to deal with the rogue bandits as soon as possible.

If you don't get rid of these bandits, then get rid of you, Chu Gong!
  Originally, the county governor Chu Gong was still able to practice Tai Chi in the face of those powerful alliances, saying that he could not solve the problem on his own and had to mobilize troops from the state or even the court.

After all, how can this matter be solved so easily?

That's more than [-] homeless people who were furious!

Although Nanyang is one of the few large counties in the world.

However, Emperor Guangwu issued an edict to abolish the county captaincy, banish chariots, knights, material officers, ship officers and military officials, and order the soldiers to return to the civilian ranks.

The army of the prefecture and country also disintegrated from then on.

Although there are still soldiers in each county, they are only responsible for daily maintenance of public security and combating bandits within the territory.

Governor Chu Gong only has about [-] soldiers, which is not a regular army. How do you expect them to take down more than [-] rogues? A little risky!

If we attack rashly with these soldiers and kill them all at once, then the entire Nanyang County may be in danger.

This is also the reason why Chu Gong has been standing still.

But now that these powerful people were backed by Jingzhou Governor, he had to come up with a solution.

This made Chu Gong particularly angry. You, the governor, don't provide people or food. You open and close your mouth and you want me to solve this matter? What a beautiful thought!

But there was no way, the governor had said so, Chu Gong could only find a way, and he had to try not to use Nanyang County soldiers to deal with these bandits!
  The governor of the county, Chu Gong, thought very clearly. Since you landlords are in such a hurry, you can all give me money and food!

Following a series of communications, a ragtag group of powerful soldiers emerged.

But looking at those rabble, Chu Gong's head hurt even more.

Those rogue bandits plundered several houses, and at this time when their morale was greatly boosted, they even dared to attack the county town!
  Sending these rabble over is not delivering food, right?
  Chu Gong knew that this would never work. It would probably add fuel to the fire and make the bandits even stronger.

So, he thought of Taipingdao.

This religious organization has a large number of people.

There is such a behemoth under his nose, and it is impossible for Chu Gong, as the county guard, not to know.

Not only does he know, he also has a good relationship with Zhang Mancheng of Nanyang Taiping Road.

"We have so many believers in Nanyang County. This time, Taiping Dao must come to help solve the trouble caused by rogue bandits!"

“Since it’s called Taiping Road, how can we deny peace to Nanyang?”

Chu Gong thought about it and felt more and more that it made sense. This was really a brilliant move!
  Not only can it weaken powerful people, it can also weaken Taipingdao, and it can also defeat rogue bandits. It really kills two birds with one stone!
  So ever.

Under the organization and cooperation of the county governor Chu Gong, the task of exterminating the bandits was inexplicably transferred from the head of the county governor to Taiping Dao and many powerful people.

……

Lu Yu looked at the weapon he had just fired.

This is a sharp spear.

This weapon was naturally not owned by Taiping Dao, but was sent from the arsenal of Nanyang County and was a standard weapon of the military.

In this operation, the government provided weapons, the powerful people provided food and people, and the Taiping Road provided people. The three parties worked together to encircle and suppress the bandits!
  This situation made Lu Yu feel a little confused. For a moment, he wondered if he had joined the wrong organization?
  This is the Way of Peace! The Yellow Turban Army will be famous all over the world in the future! The number one rebel in the world!
  Now he actually helps the imperial court to exterminate the bandits?

It is true that what those rogue bandits did was outraged by both humans and gods, and everyone punished them, but shouldn't the imperial court be responsible for eradicating this matter?
  Why did it fall on their Taipingdao head?

However, reality is sometimes so absurd. Lu Yu couldn't tolerate much emotion, so he and all the outer disciples in the entire farm set off.

The total number of Taiping Taoists in Nanyang is close to ten thousand, but this time they did not turn out in full force, only about six thousand, which is already a lot. Including those powerful family soldiers, there are more than ten thousand soldiers in total.

The commander-in-chief of this military operation was Zhang Mancheng, the canal commander of Taiping Road in Nanyang County. He was nicknamed "The Divine Envoy" and was a capable general beside the great sage Zhang Jiao.

At this moment, beside Lu Yu, Wei Ergou, Ren Qingshan, and Kong Yue were very nervous.

This was their first time on the battlefield. Before joining Taiping Dao, they never dreamed that they would have to fight with bandits.

Even though they were filled with indignation and passion after hearing about those rogue bandits, they wanted to kill them on the spot!

But after getting the weapon and starting the march, he inevitably calmed down.

Next... we are really going to fight.

He would probably die on the spot!
  How can you not be nervous?
  "Brother, aren't you nervous?" Kong Yue looked at Lu Yu who was still calm and asked curiously.

"What's the use of being nervous?" Lu Yu glanced at Kong Yue and said calmly: "On the battlefield, the more nervous and cowardly you are, the faster you will die!"

"But..." Kong Yue said helplessly: "We have only joined Taipingdao for a few days, and we are about to go to the battlefield!"

"If I had known earlier, I would have pretended to have a stomachache..." Ren Qingshan smiled bitterly and said, "There were people in the farm who pretended to be sick, but they actually escaped!"

"I only had a few meals at Taiping Road and I had to work hard. It feels a bit worthless." Wei Ergou said in a low voice.

"Stop complaining. As long as we stick together and cooperate with each other, it's not as dangerous as you think." Lu Yu shook his head.

"Brother, what do you say?" Kong Yue asked quickly.

"I asked about the current battle situation. The bandits want to invade Bowang County, but they haven't yet." Lu Yu said slowly: "Although Bowang County is in a hurry, if there are no reinforcements, it is really possible that the bandits will attack them." .”

"But after all, we didn't invade the county seat."

"Those rogue bandits have been crazy for many days and have built up a momentum. However, this momentum obviously cannot last long. Since they cannot capture the city in one go, they will decline again."

"Because the madness cannot continue, I'm afraid many people have calmed down and know that what they did is a treasonous rebellion!"

"The momentum was exhausted and fear was in his heart, and the leader of the thieves, Xie Dabao, was also a rebellious person. Although he used the trick of cannibalism to temporarily intimidate the refugees and make them obey his orders."

"But this trick may have some effect in a short period of time, but over time, it will easily have the exact opposite effect!"

"The momentum is not as good as before, and there is not much military morale. This bandit may only be crazy at the end now!"

"So, I'm afraid this battle won't be difficult!"

"As long as their final madness is broken, it will be a completely one-sided situation!"

After listening to Lu Yu's analysis, Kong Yue and the others felt suddenly enlightened. It originally felt like they were moving forward in a fog, surrounded by unknown fears. But now, everything is clear one by one, and they are no longer so scared and nervous.

"It has to be you, eldest brother. You are really amazing. You can see so clearly!" Ren Qingshan couldn't help but admire.

"The eldest brother is the eldest brother!" Wei Ergou showed a rare smile.

Lu Yu smiled. His words were actually just to comfort the three of them.

Although the bandits don't have much military spirit, they at least have the madness to fight to the death and can become more courageous as they fight.

What about yourself?
  The believers of Taiping Dao were originally a group of rabble. Even after training, they were just a group of trained rabble. They had not experienced the baptism of war, and they were far behind after all.

And those powerful family soldiers are even more useless. It's okay to let them bring trouble to the countryside and bully men and women. But if they really go to the battlefield and face the crazy refugees and fight, they can probably run faster than anyone else!
  Even though there were more than [-] people on both sides, it seemed like a decent war.

But in fact.

Both the bandits and Lu Yu were nothing more than a mob!

As long as either side loses hundreds of people, it will probably be a one-sided situation...
