Chapter 899
On the bank of the Hankou River, soldiers of the Wei Army of the brigade stood on the bank, and several corpses were lined up in front of them, all covered with white cloth.

At this time, Zhao Zhuzi, who was a bit potbellied, walked over with a sullen face, holding the handle of the knife.

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

At this time, the soldiers of the Wei army by the river hurriedly made way for a passage, and Wei general Li Hu came forward, "Captain, three were caught, and eleven are missing!"

Zhao Zhuzi clenched the handle of the knife tightly, with an angry look on his face, "How dare Huang Chuangzi do this? Gather the troops and horses, and the governor is going to seek justice for the brothers!"

The Wei army on the riverside has been angry for a long time. If Dawei doesn't beat you, you should burn incense. The birds in the south dare to take the initiative to provoke trouble, isn't it a death reminder?
As soon as he yelled, the soldiers of the Wei army were also furious, and they all threatened to find trouble with Huang Degong, and dared to crash into Dawei's official ship.

Seeing this, Gao Chengxun stood up and said, "Captain, don't be impulsive! Huang Chuangzi was cautious when he was stationed in Wuchang, and the Ming army suddenly provoked him. There must be a reason for it."

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

"Humble post doesn't mean that, but it's better to ask the king for instructions!" Gao Chengxun said.

Zhao Zhuzi's face was gloomy, "This governor can't solve such a trivial matter, and I still need to ask the king, so what is the use of me? Besides, it has been a few months, how will the governor explain to the soldiers? To explain to the brother who died unjustly?"

Originally, he had no achievements in recent years, but Gao Yihuan gave him the title of governor, which made people jealous. After this report was published, wouldn't I, Zhao Zhuzi, become the laughing stock of my colleagues.

The Great Wei is now attacking Luoyang, and the king has also explained that it is indeed not easy to provoke a war at this time, but this does not mean that he must be a miniature turtle. When he encounters provocations, he must fight back and let Huang Degong hand over the troubled Ming army.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhuzi became serious, "The governor will definitely ask Huang Chuangzi to give an explanation for this matter. I still don't believe it. He dared to fight Dawei and fail. The turtles are really rebellious!"

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

Hearing the words, Li Hu immediately cupped his fists, "I obey you!" Then he waved his hands, "Brothers, come aboard with me!"

~~~~~~
At the head of Wuchang City, Huang Degong, wearing a mountain-patterned armor, a phoenix-winged helmet, and a red cloak, stands on the edge of the city wall and overlooks the river.

Standing beside him was a senior official wearing a third-rank official robe, who was Wang Yan from Nanjing.

At this time, two years had passed since the battle of Xuzhou, the strength of the Ming army had been restored, and Wuchang City was already like an iron stab under Huang Degong's management.

Looking at the soldiers standing at the top of the city holding guns, and the thick black cannons on the enemy platform, Wang Yan was quite moved, "It was really a wise move for His Majesty to move the Duke to Wuchang."

Huang Degong was stationed in Hefei before. Although this city is important, it is still far behind Wuchang.

Since ancient times, in order to wipe out the south of the Yangtze River, one must occupy the upper reaches and go down the river to capture Nanjing, but it is actually very difficult to directly cross the river and attack Nanjing.

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

During the period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zeng Guoquan stormed Anqing. Although it lasted for a long time and lost troops and lost generals, he stayed at the foot of Anqing city for more than a year. After blowing up the city and rushing into the city, Fang Yangtian screamed, "The thief is broken!"

This shows the importance of Anqing City to Nanjing, and Wuchang is still upstream of Anqing. If the Wei army does not go to Wuchang, it will not be able to open the gateway to Nanjing.

Standing at the top of the city, Huang Degong said with a heroic smile: "This commander is in Wuchang. Although he is not aggressive enough, he has more than enough defense. Relying on this strong city, and the Yangtze River waterway to transport troops, food and grass, if the Wei thieves come to [-], this commander will also be able to defend." Don't be afraid!"

When others said this, they were mostly bragging, but what Huang Degong said was very convincing and reassuring.

At this time, Huang Fei, the Ming general, came quickly, "Duke, Wang Fujun, there are ten warships coming from the other side."

Huang Degong looked at Wang Yan after hearing the words, "This must be Zhao Zhuzi who sent someone to Xingshi to inquire about the crime. How do Fu Jun think about it?"

Wang Yan walked to the edge of the city wall, reached out for a telescope, and observed the warships of the Wei army on the river, which were completely smaller than the warships of the Ming Dynasty. They crossed the center of the river and headed directly for Wuchang City.

At this time, the warship of the Wei army was about to enter the firing range of the artillery on the city, but it had no intention of stopping. From this point, it can be seen that the Wei army did not intend to start a war.

Wang Yan put away the binoculars, suddenly looked at Huang Degong and said, "Duke, if this Wei thief fleet is captured, what can Zhao Zhuzi do?"

Huang Degong was startled, the sinking of a Wei thief boat was just a small friction, it can be said to be a mistake, it was an accident, but the capture of Wei thief's fleet was a serious matter, and it was impossible to say that it was a misunderstanding.

Huang Degong looked at Wang Yan, and after confirming that he was right, he pondered: "If captured, the Wei thief will definitely be completely enraged, which will give the Wei thief an excuse to attack directly, but Zhao Zhuzi doesn't seem to have the strength to attack Wuchang right now. , but he will definitely report this matter!"

Hearing this, Wang Yan felt confident, "Then send a boat to warn them that they have crossed the line, and tell them to turn around and go back."

"Looking at the posture of the thief Wei, it's obvious that they are here to inquire about crimes. None of them have seen them, and I'm afraid they won't go back." Huang Degong frowned and asked, "If the semaphore is raised, will they still not retreat?"

Wang Yan said with a sneer: "That means they don't listen to the advice, and the warship crosses the border, which is a provocation to Daming, and the Duke can send troops to attack directly."

When Huang Degong heard the words, the muscles on his face twitched, which was tantamount to playing a rascal.

After sinking a Wei thief boat, he came to ask for an explanation, but here he beat him up again, and slandered him for crossing the border to provoke troubles. The Wei thief on the opposite side might faint with anger.

Huang Degong was silent for a moment, then waved to Huang Fei and said, "Did you hear that?"

Huang Fei nodded slightly, "I heard it!"

Huang Degong then 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 beyond the boundary. We still have a reason to fight in our territory."
