Chapter 215 213 Who are you?

Gu Hua took his people to the villa to rest for two days, then left the mountains and returned to Shuzhou City.

Mu Feng brought back news from the spies that Wei Xingba began to lead his troops to rob the villagers as they passed by, and would even massacre the villagers if they encountered strong resistance.

"Go on a killing spree." Gu Hua's eyes were cold, and his voice was as icy as frost: "Since you don't want to be a human being, but want to be a beast that kills innocent people, it seems that this pawn should be abandoned."

"Go call Ye An."

"Yes." Mu Feng stepped out to call for help.

Gu Hua picked up a pen and wrote a letter. When Ye An came over, he handed it to him and said, "Pass this confidential letter to your master."

Ye An was stunned for a moment, then took over: "Yes, sir."

After Ye An left, Gu Hua passed the message to Shen Hongling and Han Jinyan who were disguised and placed next to Wei Xingba and in the military camp.

……

After Xiao Junlin received the message from Ye An through the palace, and held the secret letter written by Gu Hua in his hand, he couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

But when he finished reading the letter, he sat quietly in the room, sipping the tea in the cup, thinking for a while, and called Chunshan...

-

Shortly after.

Wei Xingba, who had run out of money and food, was ready to take his men to plunder and rob everywhere, hoping to accumulate wealth and supplies needed for the war in the shortest possible time by massacring the city.

On the wall of Hezhou, the prefect Zhu Zhishen looked at the man with a ferocious face standing in front of an army of more than 100,000 men under the wall. He had heard that Wei Xingba, the former general guarding Shuzhou, was a cruel and vicious person.

During this period, they even plundered the people for food and fodder.

Zhu Zhishen didn't know that he had managed Hezhou diligently for so many years, and it had remained relatively stable during the famine. Although the people had lived a hard life in recent years, they had not been displaced to escape the famine.

Because of this, there were rumors outside that Hezhou City had money and food. Therefore, Zhu Zhishen was targeted by this jackal. He didn't know whether he should regret his good governance.

"Open the city gate and let our general lead the troops in." The deputy general beside Wei Xingba shouted loudly: "Otherwise, when our general leads the troops in, your entire city will be wiped out."

Zhu Zhishen couldn't help but shiver. He didn't dare to doubt this.

Because he had heard of the army led by Wei Xingba a long time ago. Once, because a village was protecting its only food supply against the army, he ordered the massacre of the entire village.

Unlike Shuzhou, which is close to the border, the army guarding the city has only seven or eight thousand people. How can they fight against an army of more than one hundred thousand?

"Oh my God, this is going to destroy our Hezhou!!" Zhu Zhishen shouted in grief and anger, thinking that God was unfair.

"Sir, let's open the city gate."

Other government officials were already trembling with fear. They had all heard of Wei Xingba's vicious reputation, but this army came too quickly, and at that time there were rebel riots everywhere in Daxuan.

First, these officials did not have time to escape Hezhou. Second, even if they escaped, the place was in chaos and they did not know where to escape to.

Now seeing the enemy at the gate, they regretted not escaping from here earlier.

Now we can only persuade our masters to open the city gates and let these criminals in, hoping that they will not kill anyone after robbing their things.

The brave people in Hezhou are still standing on the street, trying to see what's going on. The timid ones have already found places to hide, praying to the gods and Buddhas, hoping that they can survive this catastrophe.

Zhu Zhishen looked at the army led by Wei Xingba, which made the people of Hezhou panic. He wished that his gentle body could transform into a magical soldier so that he could jump down and chop him down with a knife.

"Humph!" Wei Xingba looked fiercely at the closed city gate with his sinister eyes, "It seems these people don't want to live anymore.

Brothers, lift logs and break open the city gate. I heard that no one fled Hezhou during the three years of disaster. Not only is there a lot of money and food stored here, but the women are also beautiful. Let's rush in and all of this will be ours."

Wei Xingba was so unscrupulous that he used the supplies and women of Hezhou City as pre-war encouragement.

In a team of hundreds of thousands.

There are 40,000 to 50,000 of them are the original guards led by Wei Xingba in Shuzhou, and there are 30,000 to 40,000 young people he recruited from all over the country in recent years.

The rest were several rebel armies that he had defeated before and then surrendered to Wei Xingba, including Li Wei's 20,000 to 30,000 troops.

Some of these people frowned secretly when they heard that Wei Xingba was going to start a massacre, burning, killing and looting in Hezhou City again.

Shen Hongling, who was standing in the guard team not far behind Wei Xingba, gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and tried to restrain herself from being impulsive when she heard that he used Hezhou women as bargaining chips to encourage the army.

The guards following Wei Xingba had long forgotten their nature as soldiers. After long-term influence, bullying men and women, burning, killing and looting supplies had become a kind of excitement in their eyes.

The Hezhou city gate was not as thick and solid as the frontier city gates. It was shaken by the sturdy logs carried by the people and was knocked open in a few hits.

"Please open the city gate, sir."

"Yes, sir, these people are inhumane. If we really let them break in with force, we don't know how they will torture and kill us officials and the people in the city."

Zhu Zhishen's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He really wanted to open the city gate, but he had a premonition that even if he did, these vicious criminals would not necessarily let the people of this city go.

Yu Huai, the commander of Hezhou City, was a little overwhelmed. At this time, the enemy was at the gates of the city, putting pressure on them with thousands of defenders.

It's just that both he and the officials under Zhu Zhishen were under the leadership of the capable and upright prefect. Although they had their own selfish desires, they had never done anything against their conscience. For a moment, no one thought of abandoning the people of the city and escaping on their own.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Zhu Zhishen frowned, he also wanted to ask this question.

But as the highest official in Hezhou, he had no one to ask. Everyone looked at him, waiting for his decision.

"Open... the city..."

Just when Zhu Zhishen closed his eyes, made up his mind with difficulty, and said he wanted to open the city gate...

"Wait a minute."

Officials and people throughout Hezhou City were all on tenterhooks, preparing for an unknown catastrophe. Then a firm and powerful voice was heard coming from the stairs leading up to the city.

Zhu Zhishen and all the officials and soldiers on the city wall looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Everyone saw a tall and straight woman with a firm and deep gaze. Her eyes were like a knife, revealing her resolute will, and the armor on her body emitted endless light.

Against the light, he walked up the stairs with firm and powerful steps.

Zhu Zhishen: "Who are you?"
