Because of the rain yesterday, in order to find out in advance whether the outside of Chuzhou City is still suitable for cave attack and blasting, Zhu Han led Zhou Dexing and Hu Yiba, two blasting maniacs, under the protection of Xu Da, to investigate on the spot.

In order to facilitate the exploration of underground soil, Zhu Han brought his own 'invented' Luoyang shovel.

Of course, now the Luoyang shovel is no longer called the Luoyang shovel, but is called the 'seven or five shovel'.

After some exploration, the soil quality of Chuzhou was suitable for cave attack and blasting, and Zhu Han and the others planned to rest for the night and then return the next day.

Everyone looked at Chuzhou City in the distance in the woods, and they all noticed some abnormalities.

"These dog Tartars are actually burning, killing and looting outside the city, aren't they ready to go to Chuzhou?"

Xu Da and others explored the vicinity and found that many Han villages were slaughtered and burned, and it was obvious that the Yuan army did it themselves.

"Don't Chuzhou? If the Tartars hadn't retreated, it wouldn't have been so easy to come back. Zhu Han felt that this was unlikely.

"Anyway, it's very evil, I always feel that something is not right." Xu Da frowned and said.

Zhou Dexing said indifferently: "What do you think about the Tartars, anyway, our army will kill them immediately, and when the time comes, we will surround Chuzhou City, and then dig a tunnel, let this city wall fly into the sky first, and see what the Tartars are capable of!" ”

The obsession with cave attack and blasting is already an obsession of Zhou Dexing.

Because he was afraid that the rain problem would affect the excavated tunnel, Zhou Dexing was depressed for a long time.

Today's exploration knows that the soil is suitable for cave attack and blasting, Zhou Dexing is very happy, and he can finally blast the Tartars in Chuzhou with the latest granular gunpowder.

Suddenly.

Zhu Han caught a glimpse of abnormality in the afterglow of his eyes, and he turned his head to look.

I saw that in the dark night, there was a red light over Chuzhou City.

"Look, what's that!" Zhu Han immediately reminded.

Xu Da, Zhou Dexing and others immediately looked over.

"Chuzhou City is on fire?" Zhou Dexing was surprised.

Xu Da had another idea, "It's bad, could it be that the Tartars are going to set fire to the city?" ”

Zhu Han only felt that both of these possibilities existed.

"It's a shame there's no way to go in and check it out." Zhu Han craned his neck to look into the city.

In addition to the red light in the sky, there was also a faint noise, and I didn't know what was going on in Chuzhou City.

Just when Zhu Han and others were anxiously guessing, Chuzhou City was already in chaos.

Guo Jiang, the deputy general of Chuzhou, led the soldiers to take control of the city gate, claiming that the people in Chuzhou City colluded with the red turban thieves and assassinated Zhongcheng Alu Gray.

In order to avenge Lord Aruash, he announced that he would capture and kill all the Semu generals and officials in the city and their families.

These Semu people rely on the majesty of the Mongols and have been powerful in Chuzhou for many years!

Moreover, they also worship cults and often suppress and bully the worship of gods and gods that humiliate the local Han people.

Now with the deputy general Guo Jiang taking the lead, all the heroes in the city immediately responded, and many people also followed suit, rushing into the streets and alleys where the people of color were concentrated overnight and killing them.

In the past, the color-eyed people who were foxes and fake tigers were suddenly bloodied under the revenge of the Han people.

Even many of the Mongol officials suffered with them.

The naval camp outside Chuzhou.

Huang Yu, the general of the Jiangnan Navy who had just arrived, saw the fire in the city and didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly sent someone to inquire about it.

The soldiers who went to inquire about the news soon ran back out of breath.

"Lord Qiqi, there is a red turban thief assassin in the city, I heard that he assassinated Lord Zhongcheng, and now he is arresting the assassin!" The pro-soldier said.

When Huang Yu heard this, he immediately became alert.

"Assassins? How is Lord Zhongcheng, is it life or death? Topaz hurriedly asked.

Chuzhou was heavily guarded, how could an assassin sneak in so easily.

The soldiers shook their heads and said: "The villain doesn't know the situation in Zhongcheng, and the deputy general Guo Jiang's men and horses blocked the city gate. ”

Topaz belongs to the navy of Jiangnan Province and has no responsibility for Chuzhou's gains and losses.

Now that Chuzhou is in turmoil, he just wants to protect himself.

"Go down, give orders to all armies, strengthen vigilance, and don't let thieves get in." Topaz said loudly.

Soon, the Jiangnan Navy outside Chuzhou City set up a guard overnight.

I don't know how long it took, but the noise and firelight in Chuzhou City gradually stopped.

Huang Yu just wanted to send someone to inquire about the situation in the city, and immediately an envoy from Zhongcheng in Chuzhou City arrived.

"General Huang, Lord Zhongcheng was assassinated and seriously injured, and the people with colored eyes colluded with the red turban thieves to make trouble, and asked Lord Huang to enter the city quickly and wait for Lord Zhongcheng's dispatch!" The messenger said anxiously.

For this statement, Topaz is convinced.

Those disgusting lustful people are all a group of shameless villains, who have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and now it is too normal to collude with the red turban thief.

"Okay, I'm going to see Lord Zhongcheng right away!"

Huang Yu led a team of personal soldiers and quickly followed the envoy into Chuzhou City.

But.

As soon as I entered Chuzhou City, I heard a bang!

The jack gate behind him fell suddenly, and a group of Chuzhou Han soldiers appeared from both sides and said loudly to Huang Yu, the general of the navy.

"General Huang, please go ahead!"

When Huang Yu and the others saw it, they immediately knew that there had been a big change in Chuzhou City.

However, their numbers were too small, and when they entered the city, it was someone else's territory, and they didn't dare to have any opinions at all.

Topaz pretended to be calm and smiled slightly.

"Brother lead the way!"

Under the leadership of these Chuzhou Han soldiers, Huang Yu and other generals of the Jiqing Water Army came to the Chuzhou Mansion.

As soon as they entered the palace, Huang Yu and they found that all the people in the government had changed, when they came before, there were a large number of Mongolians and Semu people in the Chuzhou government, but now the entire Chuzhou government is full of Han generals and officials, as well as many local strong horses in Chuzhou.

Guo Jiang, the deputy general of the Han people in Chuzhou, personally came out to greet him.

Guo Jiang took Topaz's hand and began to pretend to sigh.

"Brother Huang, I really can't imagine it, last night, the elite of the Red Turban Army sneaked into the city and assassinated Lord Zhongcheng, and the people of Semu took advantage of the chaos to loot the city, Guo had no choice but to raise troops to quell the chaos, and now the indiscriminate killing has finally stabilized the city, but Chuzhou is no longer able to hold on."

Hearing Guo Jiang's words, Huang Yu immediately understood what had happened in his heart.

What kind of people take advantage of the chaos to loot, it is pure nonsense, it must be these Han people who took the opportunity to kill the people of color.

Although the Han people and the Semu people were both generals and officials under Meng Yuan, the two were often incompatible, and it was common for them to frame each other for vendetta and killing.

Topaz is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and he is not less idle by those lustful people.

"Brother Guo is talented, he can calm the hearts of the people, it is already very powerful, since Chuzhou can't defend the city, why don't we quickly board the ship and go south to celebrate!" Topaz followed suit.
