On the banks of the Hankou River, a brigade of Wei soldiers stood on the bank, and several corpses were lined up in front of them, all covered with white cloths.

At this time, Zhao Zhuzi, who had a big belly, pressed the handle of the knife and walked over with a calm face.

Now Zhao Zhuzi has actually changed his name to Zhao Zhong, after all, as a senior general of the Great Wei Dynasty, the pillar is very low-grade, but Gao Yihuan still likes to call him Zhuzi, and the old brothers also call him that, which makes him feel very annoyed, but he is helpless.

At this time, the Wei soldiers on the riverside hurriedly made way of a passage, and the Wei general Li Hu came forward, "Dudu, three have been fished up, and eleven are missing!" ”

Zhao Zhuzi clenched the handle of the knife tightly, and his face showed anger, "Huang Chuangzi dares to do this? Gather your troops and horses, and Ben Governor will go to get justice for his brothers! ”

The Wei army on the riverside has long been angry, if the Great Wei doesn't fight you, you should burn high incense, and the birds in the south actually dare to take the initiative to stir up trouble, isn't it a dead urging?

As soon as he shouted, the soldiers of the Wei army were also furious, and they threatened to find trouble with Huang Degong and dare to crash into the official ship of the Great Wei.

Seeing this, Gao Chengxun on the side hurriedly stood up and said, "Governor, don't be impulsive!" After Huang Chuangzi was stationed in Wuchang, he was cautious, and the Ming army suddenly provoked, and there must be a reason. ”

Zhao Zhuzi frowned slightly, and looked at Gao Chengxun, "Could it be that the Ming army crossed the line and sank the official ship, and the governor didn't care?" ”

"That's not what I mean, it's just better to ask the king!" Gao Chengxun said.

Zhao Zhuzi had a gloomy face, "Such a trivial matter, the governor can't solve it, and I still need to ask the king, so what is the use of the king?" Besides, after a few months of going back and forth, how could the Governor give an account to the soldiers and the brothers who had died unjustly? ”

Originally, he had no merits in recent years, but Gao Yihuan added him the title of governor, which made people jealous.

Dawei is now attacking Luoyang, and the king has also explained, it is indeed not easy to provoke a war at this time, but this does not mean that he has to be a miniature turtle, and when he encounters a provocation, he must still fight back, so that Huang Degong will hand over the troublesome Ming army.

Zhao Zhuzi thought of this, and became upright, "This matter is determined to ask Huang Chuangzi to give an explanation, I still don't believe it, he still dares to start a war with Great Wei, and the turtle grandchildren are really against God!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Zhuzi said to Li Hu: "You take ten warships across the river, and let Huang Chuangzi give this governor an explanation within three days, otherwise this governor wants him to look good!" ”

When Li Hu heard this, he immediately clenched his fists, "Obey orders!" Then he waved his hand, "Come aboard, brothers!" ”

~~~~~~

The head of Wuchang City, wearing mountain pattern armor, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, and wearing a red cloak, stood on the edge of the city wall, holding the battlements and looking at the river.

Beside him stood a senior officer wearing a three-grade official robe, who was Wang Yan from Nanjing.

At this time, two years have passed since the Battle of Xuzhou, the strength of the Ming army has been restored, and Wuchang City has been like an iron stab under the management of Huang Degong.

Looking at the soldiers standing at the head of the city, and the dark and thick artillery on the enemy platform, Wang Yan sighed with emotion, "It was really a wise move for His Majesty to move the Duke of the Kingdom to Wuchang at the beginning. ”

Previously, Huang Degong was stationed in Hefei, although this city is important, but compared with Wuchang, it is still too far behind.

Since ancient times, in order to sweep away the south of the Yangtze River, it is necessary to occupy the upper reaches and go down the river to seize Nanjing, but it is actually very difficult to directly cross the river to attack Nanjing.

In history, the Hongguang court was destroyed by the Qing army crossing the river, because the Ming army either resisted the left army in Wuhu, or had surrendered, and the river defense had no troops to defend, so the Qing army picked up a big bargain.

During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, Zeng Guoquan stormed Anqing, although it was protracted, and the soldiers were lost, but he died under the city of Anqing, and it took more than a year to blow up the city and rush into the city, Fang Yangtian shouted, "The thief is broken!" ”

This shows the importance of Anqing City to Nanjing, and Wuchang is still upstream of Anqing, and the Wei army cannot open the gateway to Nanjing without Wuchang.

Huang Degong stood at the head of the city and said with a heroic smile: "This handsome is in Wuchang, although he is not enterprising enough, but he has more than enough defense. Relying on this strong city, coupled with the Yangtze River waterway to transport soldiers, grain and grass, the Wei thieves came with 100,000, and the commander was not afraid! ”

When others say this, most of them are bragging, but Huang Degong is still very convincing and reassuring.

At this time, the Ming general Huang Fei suddenly walked quickly, "Guogong, Wang Fujun, there are ten warships on the other side." ”

Huang Degong looked at Wang Yan when he heard this, "This must be Zhao Zhuzi who sent someone to Xingshi to ask for the guilt." How do Fu Jun think he should deal with it? ”

Wang Yan walked to the edge of the city wall, stretched out his hand to come to the clairvoyant mirror, and observed the Wei warships on the river, which were a whole circle smaller than the warships of the Ming Dynasty, and they crossed the center of the river and sailed directly to Wuchang City.

At this time, the Wei warships were about to enter the city artillery fire, but they did not mean to stop, and it can be seen from this that the Wei army did not want to go to war.

Wang Yan took the clairvoyant mirror, suddenly looked at Huang Degong and said, "Guogong, if this Wei thief fleet is captured, what can Zhao Zhuzi do?" ”

Huang Degong was shocked, and sank a Wei thief's boat, it was just a small friction, it could be said to be a mistake, an accident, but if the Wei thief's fleet was captured, it would be a big deal, and it would be impossible to say that it was a misunderstanding.

Huang Degong looked at Wang Yan, and after making sure that he was right, he pondered: "If it is really captured, the Wei thief will definitely be completely enraged, which will give the Wei thief an excuse to attack directly, but at the moment, Zhao Zhuzi does not seem to have the strength to attack Wuchang, but he will definitely report this matter!" ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he knew in his heart, "Then send a boat to warn them first, they have crossed the line, let them turn back." ”

"Looking at the posture of the Wei thief, it is obvious that they are here to ask for the crime, and none of them have seen it, so I am afraid that they will not go back." Huang Degong frowned and asked, "If the flag is played, they still won't retreat?" ”

Wang Yan sneered: "That is, they don't listen to the advice, and the ships cross the border, which is a provocation to the Ming Dynasty, and the Duke of Guo can send troops to attack directly." ”

Huang Degong heard this, and the muscles on his face twitched, which was tantamount to playing a scoundrel.

Crashed into and sank a Wei thief boat, people came to the door to ask for an explanation, but here they beat people again, and slandered people for crossing the line to stir up trouble, and the Wei thief on the opposite side was afraid that he would faint.

Huang Degong was silent for a moment, waved his hand and said to Huang Fei: "Did you hear that?" ”

Huang Fei bowed slightly, "I heard it!" ”

Huang Degong immediately waved his hand, "Then do it according to Fu Jun's wishes!" ”

At this time, Wang Yan added: "Remember, if the Wei thief turns around and escapes, don't chase after him. We still have a reason to say that we are fighting in our territory. ”
