Chapter 74 Han Xuan's troubles

Changsha is too guarded Han Xuan is really annoying, a few days ago there began to be refugees from Jiangbei into Changsha City, although he urgently ordered the city gate to be closed, but the city was already overcrowded, and his sergeants could only be busy maintaining order every day, and they couldn't take care of the city defense at all.

If you want to drive them out, the number of refugees outside the city is still increasing, and it has almost surrounded the entire Changsha city, as long as the city gate is opened, I am afraid that there will be more people coming in than driving out.

Even if you want to send someone out to find out the news now, you can only hang it down from the city tower, and Jiangbei doesn't know what the situation is.

He went to the north gate tower and asked the refugees: "Why do you all have to run to Changsha?" ā€

The refugees replied in unison: "Because Jiangbei is going to war, I heard that Cao Cao likes to slaughter cities, so in order to save his life, he ran to Jiangnan." ā€

"Don't talk nonsense! Don't spread rumors! Prime Minister Cao Cheng is the prime minister of the dynasty, he loves the people like a son, you dare to criticize behind your back, be careful to destroy the nine clans! "It's just that it's useless to scare, Han Xuan doesn't want to go down and arrest people now.

He ran to the West City Gate again and asked, "Why do you have to run to Changsha?" ā€

The refugees replied in unison: "Because Jiangbei is going to war, Jiangling is occupied by Liu Bei, and we don't want to be killed by Liu Bei, so we ran to Jiangnan." ā€

"Nonsense! I haven't heard of Liu Bei killing people casually. Didn't it mean that he fled from Fancheng to Jiangling, and there were still 100,000 people following him? If you are afraid, why don't you go to Xiangyang to defect to Prime Minister Cao? Han Xuan thinks that the people here are all liars, maybe they are Liu Bei's subordinates pretending, seeing that most of them are young and strong men, they must want to sneak into Changsha City to make trouble!

He ran to the south gate and asked, "Why did you come to Changsha City?" ā€

The refugees replied in unison: "Because Jiangbei is going to war, no matter which of them wins, our people will suffer, I heard that Han Taishou loves the people like sons, so we specially came to take refuge!" ā€

"Chaos-" This didn't seem to be nonsense, Han Xuan changed his words, "Now that Jingzhou is in chaos, there are too many people who have come here to take refuge, and Changsha City is already overcrowded, so you folks should find another place to live." ā€

The people outside the city complained bitterly: "Lord Taishou, it has been almost a month since we fled from Jiangling all the way." Along the way, the wind and rain were drenched, there was no meal, the children were sick, and they were in a hurry to seek medical treatment. Lord Taishou, you love the people like children, don't keep us out of the city, let us go into the city to rest. ā€

Hum! Let you in, who knows how many Liu Bei's soldiers and horses will be mixed in? When the time comes, I can't do it too much, and I don't know if I can keep it! Han Xuan retreated.

Jingzhou has been so chaotic in the past few months, Liu Biao just died, Cao Cao came, Liu Cong surrendered, but Liu Bei occupied Jiangling and was ready to fight with Cao Cao!

Two months ago, he received an edict from Liu Cong, demanding that all parts of Jingzhou surrender to the court and surrender to Prime Minister Cao, but Han Xuan had no opinion. He thought that Liu Cong was incapable of holding Jingzhou, Cao Cao had unified the north, and the world would be unified by him sooner or later, and he would surrender to Cao Cao without a fight as soon as possible, and maybe he could keep the official position of the Changsha Taishou.

The fact is indeed as he wants, no, a few days earlier, Cao Cao also sent Liu Ba to persuade him to submit to Cao Cao, don't help Liu Bei, as long as he sticks to Changsha and is not taken away by Liu Bei's forces, it will be a great achievement.

Alas, there has never been a war in this Changsha city, and the soldiers are all in the east to guard against the attack of Jiangdong, there are too few soldiers in the city, and there must be many refugees outside the city who are Liu Bei's men and horses pretending to be unable to deal with it.

Han Xuan was pacing around the mansion in worry, and a sergeant came in to report the good news: "Liu Pan and Huang Zhong, the old general of Youxian County, are coming with troops. ā€

"What do they say, how many people are coming?" Han Xuan felt that this was simply a send-off in the snow, and it had been chaotic for a while, and there had been no news of them for a long time. He knew that Liu Pan and Huang Zhong had 3,000 soldiers and horses, but they belonged to the regular army, and although the official rank was a little lower than his own, it was not under his own jurisdiction.

The sergeant said, "About 3,000 people." He didn't dare to ask Liu Pan and Huang Zhong why they came here.

Han Xuan nodded, came to the north gate again, said hello to Liu Pan and Huang Zhong under the city, and asked, "How did you withdraw from Youxian County and come here?" ā€

Liu Pan immediately bowed and replied: "I will return to Prime Minister Cao Cheng on the order of my son Liu Cong, but recently I heard that Liu Bei has sent his son Liu Feng and Yuan Linfu Chang Xiang Lang to lead troops to capture Changsha, so I specially led troops to help Lord Taishou." ā€

Han Xuan had also received the news that Liu Bei had sent troops to Changsha, and complained to Liu Ba a few days earlier, why didn't he bring some soldiers and horses to help. Liu Ba said it easily, saying that Liu Bei still dared to divide his troops with such a few people, Jiangling City was just around the corner, and he didn't say that Xiang Lang had not yet arrived in Changsha, and Liu Bei had already died in the city.

He said it easily, patted his ass and ran to Guiyang again, I have a thousand people here, can I withstand the attack of others? If Liu Pan and Huang Zhong came to help defend the city, they could still defend it, and maybe they could take the initiative to attack Liu Bei and those people away.

Although he didn't have much contact with Liu Pan and didn't know if what they said was true or false, Han Xuan felt that he still had to gamble. If Huang Zhong's 3,000 people were enemies, then with the people sent by Liu Bei, he would not be able to defend Changsha City, so Han Xuan ordered the city gate to be opened to greet him, and specially reminded: "You can't let the people mix in anymore, there are not so many people in the city." ā€

As soon as Liu Pan entered the city, he arranged for the soldiers to disperse to the various city gates.

Han Xuan hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry, the soldiers are coming from afar, it's better to rest and recuperate first." ā€

Liu Pan and Huang Zhong saluted Han Xuan with their fists together: "My lord, Liu Beijun is not far from here, if you don't prepare early, I'm afraid that it will be too chaotic." ā€

"Alright then, it's up to the two of you." Han Xuan also pinned all his hopes on these two people anyway.

Liu Pan and Huang Zhong followed Han Xuan to the mansion, and just as they were about to sit down, they heard an urgent report: "My lord, Liu Beijun has arrived outside the city." ā€

Han Xuan was angry, they were all these refugees, so Lao Tzu was not well-informed these days, and he couldn't even grasp Liu Beijun's itinerary in time, so he arrived outside the city so quickly, how can this be good? His eyes involuntarily looked at Liu Pan and Huang Zhong.

Liu Pan and Huang Zhong understood: "We are going to command the soldiers to hold on, but we have just entered the city and are not very familiar with the situation, and we hope that Lord Taishou can personally go to the city to command, and we will definitely do our best to help Lord Taishou." ā€

Then let's go, Han Xuan got on the horse and came to the North City Gate again, thinking to himself What is this, I ran here three times at once today, why is there something wrong, this Liu Beijun is following your ass, you don't know?

Waiting for the city tower, Han Xuan was surprised to find that there were so many soldiers and horses outside the city, and pointed to Xiang Lang outside the city and asked, "You are a little county magistrate, and you want to take these thousand people to defeat my Changsha City?" ā€

"Lord Taishou, we are not more than these thousand people," Xiang Lang saluted Han Xuan on his horse, and pointed to the refugees around him, "These are our people." ā€

Many of the refugees immediately came out and quickly unleashed their swords and lined up in formation.

Han Xuan rejoiced: "Okay, I knew that there were your people hidden here, fortunately, I had already closed the city gate and not allowed them to come in!" ā€

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old Liu Feng was not so polite when he spoke, and pointed at Han Xuan and said, "Old thing, our army has already entered the city, and you are still dreaming and haven't woken up." ā€

As soon as Han Xuan was about to say that I already had 3,000 reinforcements, you couldn't help me, when he saw Liu Pan and Huang Zhong bending down and bowing to him: "My lord, we are entrusted by the eldest prince to take over Changsha County. ā€

"You ...... Sure enough......" Han Xuan's face turned green, although he had been worried for a long time, but the situation was pressing, but he didn't expect to really fall for them.

"Do you really think that Liu Bei can beat Prime Minister Cao Cheng back? Stop dreaming. Han Xuan wanted to persuade them to turn back.

Liu Pan shook his head and said: "The eldest prince told us that Jiangdong has abandoned his previous suspicions and joined forces with General Zuo to fight against Cao. As long as General Zuo can hold Jiangling City for more than half a year, and when the situation changes, Cao Cao will definitely withdraw his troops and go back to protect his hometown, then Jingzhou will still be our Liu family. ā€

Xiang Lang still reminded Han Xuan under the city: "Lord Taishou, don't worry about your Prime Minister Cao Cheng, we have written a letter to Cao Cao in your name, imitating your handwriting, and scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations." ā€
