Water Margin people

On the morning of the evening party, people from the surrounding areas of Guangzhou Prefecture began to come into the city with their families.

The notice had already stated that the city gates would be closed before dark and the revelry would continue all night long. Those who were late would not be able to enter the city and miss the event.

The city of Guangzhou was decorated with lights and all inns and restaurants were open free of charge to welcome people entering the city.

Many street performers were shouting their performances in the streets and alleys, and many stages built on the main roads had already started performing operas. These operas were introduced from the Central Plains, and Cantonese opera had not yet taken shape at this time.

"Captain, everything is going smoothly. All the people at the port have entered the city, and the guards have all been replaced by our people."

"Those people are so stupid. They all wanted to get into the city, but they succeeded without any effort."

"The ship is already waiting outside the port and will be able to enter after dark!"

One by one, the bearded Arabs excitedly reported to Xin Yiluo that if they could succeed this time, they would have made an unprecedented contribution to the Arab Empire and they could even establish their capital here.

"When the time comes, we will occupy the port first, and then cooperate with those chieftains in the mountains. Sun Lei will definitely die!"

Xin Yuluo also said with a smile on his face. He didn't expect that the plan would go so smoothly this time. What about the emperor holding a party and calling everyone in the port? This was simply courting death.

"God bless!"

Xin Yiluo knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly. He felt that the success of this plan was all thanks to the blessing of God.

The rest of the Arabs also knelt down and worshiped devoutly to calm their excitement.

After dark, a large number of overseas ships slowly approached the Guangzhou Port. The port sentry tower on the shore discovered the situation, but they turned a blind eye, did not signal the ships to stop for inspection, and did not issue a warning to the port.

Hundreds of ships were crowded towards the Port of Guangzhou. The ships and decks were full of thugs holding sharp knives. These were pirates from the South China Sea, Champa, and bandits from the Ly Dynasty. Most of these people had some connections with foreign merchants.

"Kill!"

As soon as the ship docked, these bandits rushed into the port. Their habit was to burn, kill and loot.

Amidst the shouting and sounds of smashing and looting, the Guangzhou Port was turned into a mess, but what surprised the bandits was that there was no one in the port, it was completely empty.

"Tell them to stop! Don't alert them!"

Xin Yiluo didn't expect these bandits to be so disobedient. Fortunately, there was no one at the port, otherwise such a big mess would have been discovered by Guangzhou City long ago.

But the bandits would not listen to any orders once they entered the port. They just wanted to plunder crazily and take away all the property.

"Quickly notify the chieftains of the Nong clan and let them take action!"

Xin Yiluo yelled at one of his men beside him that he had no control over these bandits at all. All his plans were disrupted and he had no choice but to take action in advance.

Guangzhou Prefecture.

As the lights come on, the city is filled with laughter and joy.

"There really is a problem outside the city!"

Zhang Qing whispered as he looked at the flickering flames at Guangzhou Harbor.

"These guys are damn good!"

Qiongying said with a bad look that as the emperor's guards this time, it was their responsibility to protect the emperor's safety, but now someone dared to have evil intentions towards the emperor.

"It's damn right, these people must die!"

Zhang Qing also nodded with a bad look. These people started burning, killing and looting as soon as they came ashore. They really deserved to die.

"Why don't we kill them?"

Qiongying asked in confusion. They were well-equipped and even though they were fewer in number, they were sure to win.

"There are still tens of thousands of chieftains in the mountains. Your Majesty wants to deal with them all at once, so that these chieftains won't always come out to cause trouble."

Zhang Qing explained that Guangnan Road was mountainous and full of Tusi tribes. If these people were not dealt with, Guangnan Road would not be able to develop. In the second half of the night, the people who had been celebrating all night were tired. Fortunately, enough accommodation had been prepared in the city, so the people did not need to worry about having no place to live if they did not leave the city.

Before dawn, the chieftain in the mountains received the news, shouted and rushed out of the forest, heading towards Guangnan Prefecture.

The shouting and killing made the people of Guangzhou who were asleep in their dreams run to the streets in panic. They listened to the people outside the city shouting "What the hell are you doing?" and were at a loss. They were so happy last night, but how come they were surrounded in the city today?

"Everyone, there is no need to be afraid. The enemies outside the city will be repelled soon. I am with you!"

Sun Lei appeared on the city wall, wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown on his head. The sun rose and the sunlight sprinkled down, and he looked like a god in the golden light.

When the people saw that the emperor was there, they felt a little more relieved. After all, if the sky fell, there would be someone taller to hold it up. The emperor was in the city, so it was not their turn to worry.

After pacifying the people in the city, Sun Lei looked at the chieftain outside the city.

There were quite a few chieftains outside the city, as many as 30,000 or 40,000, but they were all wearing various tie-dyed cloth clothes and few had decent armor.

"The brave ones hold spears in front, and the weak ones follow behind them!"

Lu Zhishen looked at the mob outside the city and said that these people could not even be called enemies. Although they were numerous, they had no armor and their weapons were simple. They had no combat effectiveness at all. They were comparable to the peasant uprisings in the Central Plains.

"These people pose no threat at all. Not to mention that Guangzhou's fortress is strong, even if I bring a thousand men, I can still destroy them!"

Lin Chong said that these mobs were nothing.

The chieftain outside the city shouted and began to attack the city, but just when they got close, Sun Lei spoke.

"Whoever is the leader, come out and answer!"

Sun Lei shouted while looking at the chieftains outside the city.

Those chieftains and common people were a little afraid when they saw Sun Lei dressed like a god.

At this moment, a group of men in black clothes walked through the crowd and came to the front.

"You tyrant, open the city and die!"

Nong Wu pointed at Sun Lei and roared, saying that he was a descendant of Nong Zhigao. Nong Zhigao was defeated and fled to Dali, and in recent years, his descendants have returned to their homeland.

"I was just at Guangnan Road, and you guys came over here. It seems like we have no grudges. Who ordered you to do that?"

Sun Lei looked at Nong Wu and asked.

"Stop talking nonsense, and die, tyrant!"

Nong Wu didn't say much, but just shouted and ordered the chieftain's soldiers to start attacking the city.

"We have to kill a bunch of them!"

Sun Lei shook his head helplessly. It seemed that these chieftains were really dangerous.

On top of the three urn cities, soldiers opened fire with bows, shooting the chieftain's soldiers who rushed up to the ground one after another.

The chieftain's charge was soon over and they all fled, leaving behind hundreds of corpses.

Nong Wu's face looked very ugly. This most fierce charge was so easily repelled by the enemy.

"Chief, Guangzhou City is not easy to attack. When several of our tribes came to attack, we were blocked by the inner city and the inner city. We besieged it for two months but still could not do anything!"

An old Tusi chief spoke up. He was one of the few Tusi who had participated in the attack on Guangzhou City.

"What should we do? Just leave? The tyrant king is here! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Nong Wu gritted his teeth and said that he was unwilling to retreat like this. His dream was to rebuild the Great Southern Kingdom. (End of this chapter)
