Chapter 1097: Can't Enter the City
It turned out that the governor of Huguang at this time was Lu Xiangsheng! He is the governor of Huguang and the governor of the five provinces, responsible for suppressing bandits, and his identity is very complicated.
The general governor of Huguang is always stationed in Wuchang and will not move, but Lu Xiangsheng runs around with his troops all day long.
Not long ago, Lu Xiangsheng led his army into King Qin, Beijing.
If he didn't enter King Jingqin, Liukou wouldn't be able to beat Wuchang City now, but he was afraid that he would be besieged in Dabie Mountain.
Lu Xiangsheng left, the Central Plains army was empty, there were no soldiers to defend in Wuchang City, except for some waste scum guards, there were only a few hundred people in the Chu King Protector's army, and then there were a large number of militia groups and ordinary people.
With these people, it's okay to barely hold a big city like Wuchang, and if you want to fight with the rogues in the countryside, you don't have to play at all, and you don't even dare to defend the county seat.
Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, muttered a little dissatisfied: "This governor of Huguang is really a waste, the thief has hit Wuchang, but he is not there." β
Wuchang Prefect: "Lord Lu is not a waste, but he also doesn't know how to do it." β
Zhu Huakui is angry, this little official dares to go against me?
He glared angrily at the prefect.
The prefect of Wuchang hurriedly shut up, he didn't want to be killed.
Just then, a scout came running back and reported loudly: "A large fleet of ships, with a large number of refugees, is coming down the Han River." β
If he just heard that the fleet was coming, Zhu Huakui might still be curious about where this fleet came from. But when he heard that there were a large number of refugees, he thought that this fleet was also a fleeing merchant or a fisherman, so he didn't ask seriously: "The refugees came to Wuchang?" β
"Yes! The bandit army outside the city was raging, and the surrounding villages and residents of the town all dragged their children and came over to Wuchang. β
The prefect of Wuchang said: "Open the city and let the refugees in." β
"No!" Zhu Huakui immediately spoke: "Among these refugees, there must be thieves and spies, mixed with the refugees to enter the city, and the third watch suddenly opens the city gate in the middle of the night, and the thief army will enter." When Wang Jiayin broke through Hequ County, he used this method. β
The prefect of Wuchang said: "What does it matter if there are a few spies among the refugees? As long as we take strict care of the refugees and arrange patrols at night, we can naturally avoid spies and chaos. If it is to prevent a few spies and put tens of thousands of ordinary people under the butcher's knife of the rogues, how can you bear it? β
Zhu Huakui: "Hmph! Woman's kindness! What does it matter if those refugees live or die? Why did this king take such a big risk to save those wastes? β
Wuchang Prefect: "......"
The militia villagers at the head of the city: "......"
In an instant, the entire city wall fell silent.
The prefect wanted to say something, but Zhu Huakui said, "Come on, pull this prefect down." β
The guards of the king of Chu immediately stepped forward, and the two officers pulled the prefect of Wuchang, pushed him off the city wall, and finally kicked the prefect in the buttocks, kicking him several times. The officials on the left and right hurriedly helped the prefect up and helped him pat the dust on his clothes......
But everyone dared to be angry.
This Chu King Zhu Huakui is different from those other princes.
Other princes are also a group of gentlemen, although they are useless, but they are not very harmful, and occasionally trick-or-treating is also a small egg. But this Zhu Huakui is a big harm, he wants to kill people, he even dares to kill the governor of Huguang, and it will be fine after killing.
After such a fuss, this Wuchang City will become Zhu Huakui's final say.
The King of Chu's guards closed the city gate tightly and looked out of the city with cold eyesβ
The logistics team led by Zhuge Wang Chan, Zhu Cunji, and Zhu Yujian finally came to the outside of Wuchang City with a large number of refugees.
The city of Wuchang is not big, and it is only a few miles in radius, standing on the riverside at the confluence of the Han River and the Yangtze River, and can sit and look at the two rivers.
It's easy to keep sad.
The fleet of Gaojia Village does not need to enter the city, and can sail past the city. Usually, there will be a "river man" sailor of the imperial court here to manage the ships on the river. But now, Cao Jiang has hid in Wuchang City, and he doesn't dare to come out at all.

Gaojia Village's fleet is accessible without obstruction.
The three had planned to see the refugees enter the city so that they could continue to transport supplies with peace of mind.
Unexpectedly, when a large group of refugees arrived at the gate of Wuchang City, they were actually blocked, and the guards of the King of Chu at the head of the city yelled fiercely below: "Leave quickly, Wuchang City will not open the city gate, how far you go." β
The common people cried: "Master Jun, we have nowhere to go, there are rogues everywhere outside." No matter where they hide, there are rogues who will kill them, and they can't even stay in the mountains. β
Protector: "Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly, or we'll have to release our arrows." β
The guards at the head of the city drew their bows and arrows......
Some people even deliberately turned the cannon on the head of the city and aimed it at the common people.
Although the cannon was not filled with gunpowder and shells, it was just a scare, but the action was still very bad.
The common people cried loudly, and the cry shook the sky, but the city guards remained unmoved.
A few brave civilians, seeing that the defenders were just pulling their bows and betting that they would not be able to shoot arrows, boldly took a few steps forward.
Not to mention, the defenders really didn't shoot. The common people were a little bolder and took a few more steps forward.
The king of Chu suddenly became angry: "Why don't you release arrows? β
Defender: "That'...... O our people. β
The king of Chu snatched the bow, pulled it, but did not pull it away, the 65-year-old body that was hollowed out by wine could no longer pull the bow, he took a crossbow from the hand of the guards next to him, and shot it at the people who were walking in the front.
"Poof!"
One of the common people fell at the arrow, and the rest of the people were frightened, and with a cry, they dragged the common people who were hit by the arrow backwards.
When the logistics team of Gaojia Village saw this scene, their eyes were red with anger.
Zhu Cunji: "Huh? Fuck me! This King of Chu is simply not human. β
Zhu Yujian was also shocked: "There is such a prince in the world, this ...... Doesn't he regard the people of his land as his own people? β
As soon as the two of them said this, Tianzun, who had been sitting on the boat and had not moved for several days, suddenly opened his eyes: "This person should be killed!" β
Everyone hurried: "See Tianzun." β
Li Daoxuan: "Send someone to call the crying people back, stay away from the city, find a place to gather, the logistics team temporarily stay here for one night, protect the people to spend the night safely, tonight, I will personally take action, clean up the king of Chu, and help the people open the door." β
Everyone was taken aback: "Tianzun wants to take action in person?" β
The first thing that came to their minds was that a huge hand stretched out from the sky and slapped the king of Chu to the ground.
However, this place has not yet entered Li Daoxuan's field of vision, and he can't reach out if he wants to.
Li Daoxuan said: "My deity is traveling all over the world, and I am too lazy to come back, so I will use the Dharma Body to clean him up." β
The Dharma Body, of course, refers to the mass-produced Heavenly Venerable.
Everyone in Gaojia Village knows how powerful Tianzun's Dharma Body is.
Now that he's going to make a move, there's nothing to worry about.
A boat was sent over and shouted to the refugees by the river: "Come back, let's find a safe place to spend the night, rest assured, we will protect you." β
The common people had no choice but to follow the Gaojia villagers to leave Wuchang City, return to the shore far upstream, and gather together in the open air to keep warm.
The Gaojia Village logistics team stood by the side of these refugees with live ammunition, providing them with supplies and protection.
