    In May of the 18th year of Kaihuang¡¯s reign, Wuzhou.

    Since the beginning of May, the weather has turned hotter, and by noon, the sun is blazing.  It is the rainy season again in the Jiangnan region, with high temperatures and humidity, making it difficult to travel in the sweltering heat.

    There were not many pedestrians on the official road from Yuhang to Jinhua at this time.  Although it was noon that day, more than thirty riders were galloping along the official road from south to north, breaking through the laziness of summer and arriving outside Wuzhou City.

    There was one man in the lead, riding on a horse. He was less than twenty years old. He was wearing a crotchless shirt with thin armor underneath. He wore a futou on his head and a horizontal sword on his waist.  Wangzhi's sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes are as clear as a god, with a serious face and a serious smile.  This person is Huang Mingyuan, Cao Shenjun, the general manager of Yangzhou.

    Looking at the crowd gathering at the city gate, Huang Mingyuan frowned slightly.  At this time, why are there so many people anxious to leave the city?

    Asking everyone to wait aside, Huang Mingyuan got off his horse, walked to the city gate with Zheng Yanqing and Yao Junsu, and grabbed an old man about forty or fifty years old for questioning.

    When the old man saw that the young man in front of him was well-dressed and handsome, he knew that he was not a mortal and did not dare to hide it, so he said solemnly: "My lord, I heard that the bandits from Longqiu Mountain are coming to kill them. The governor of the city sent troops to capture them."  , the battle ended in defeat, and now the bandits are about to attack the city, and people all over the city are leaving the city and fleeing north."

    "It's just a group of grass bandits, how can they invade the city? Wouldn't it be safer for you to hide in the city and be protected by the city? How can you abandon the city and go wild?" Zheng Yanqing asked doubtfully.

    The old man said disapprovingly: "My lord, this city cannot be defended. The attackers are not ordinary grass bandits. I heard that they are all subordinates of Emperor Wang. They kill without batting an eye. All the people sent by the governor to exterminate them were killed."  Kill them all, and you should run away."

    Huang Mingyuan was stunned. This bandit even claimed to be the emperor.

    It took me a while to realize that in the tenth year after the founding of the emperor, Wang Wenjin, a native of Wuzhou, rebelled, proclaimed himself the emperor, and appointed hundreds of officials.  Wang Wenjin appointed Cai Daoren as Sikong to guard Le'an. Yang Su led his army to attack, and Wang Wenjin and Cai Daoren were all pacified.  Later, it was reported that Wang Wenjin died in the rebellion.

    "But Huang Mingyuan knew clearly that he had read the report at the time and found that Wang Wenjin's body was not found at that time.  But after that, Wang Wenjin was nowhere to be found, and he was treated as dead in the court. Unexpectedly, he had been hiding and dormant for so many years, and he actually returned to Wuzhou and raised a team.

    Huang Mingyuan frowned. If it was really Wang Wenjin, then Wuzhou City would be in danger.

    "Chun Ren, gather everyone and follow me into the city."

    Yao Junsu was startled and said: "Bing Cao, the prince sent you to Kuozhou (today's Wenzhou) to welcome Xiangrui. It would be inappropriate if we were delayed in Wuzhou."

    Huang Mingyuan's face tightened, and he scolded: "What are you saying? If something happens to Wuzhou, it will be useless to receive ten auspicious signs."

    Yaojun never dared to say anything more.  Everyone got on their horses and headed towards the north gate of Wuzhou City.

    The guards of Wuzhou City were frightened for a long time. When they saw the large group of people approaching, they were all at a loss. A few clever ones immediately dropped their weapons and ran towards the city. Huang Mingyuan and others were stunned for a while.

    When the arrival showed his official seal and seal, the guards breathed a sigh of relief.  Seeing that he was a high-ranking official from Yangzhou, he hurriedly came forward to lead the horse to ride.  Huang Mingyuan continued to struggle with these people, and led everyone straight to the Governor's Mansion.

    At that time, the governor of Wuzhou had died in the battle against Wang Wenjin. Only the chief minister, Han Yi, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot in the hall.  A large army of mutinous people is suppressing the territory, but the pastoral guards of a state are dying. Everyone has no idea, there are no soldiers to fight, and there is no escape. It is really sad.

    Within two days, he was exhausted both mentally and physically, and his temples turned gray.

    Hearing the news from the guards that a high-ranking official from Yangzhou was asking for an audience, Han Yi thought that reinforcements had arrived and hurriedly led everyone out to greet him.  But I didn't expect that a young man would come through the door.  But a dead horse was treated as a living horse. Han Yi did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly invited Huang Mingyuan to the court.

    Entering the hall, before Huang Mingyuan could say anything, everyone gathered around him and asked: "What is the position of the general? How many soldiers does the general bring? Can the general defend Wuzhou City"

    Seeing the group of people in the hall acting like noisy ducks, clueless and confused, Huang Mingyuan became angry. The group of people were already scared out of their wits even before the battle started.  If Wang Wenjin really called, they wouldn't be able to open the door and greet the guests.

    Huang Mingyuan raised his hands to everyone and said: "I am the general manager of Yangzhou, Cao Shenjun, Huang Mingyuan. I was ordered by the King of Jin to inspect the military affairs of Dongyang states. When I came to Wuzhou this time, I didn't have a single soldier in my hands, and I only had dozens of subordinates with me.  Just people.¡±

    When everyone heard this, they were immediately disappointed.  No troopsThe news flowed out from the governor's office like flowing water, and all the officials in the city got rid of their initial panic and began to go to their respective posts and do their own thing.  Han Yi looked at the high-spirited Huang Mingyuan in the hall and the well-organized behavior in the city, and finally let go of his worries. Maybe this young man could really save Wuzhou City.

    At this time, Huang Mingyuan, who was thinking about the battle situation alone in his room, was not as calm as before in front of everyone. Huang Mingyuan, with his eyes closed and his eyebrows unfurled, knew very well that Wuzhou would definitely not be able to be saved by relying solely on the power of Wuzhou City.

    The Wuzhou area is surrounded by mountains and rich in minerals, which has led to many people here making a living by mining.  The people here are strong and brave. With the support of those big households and the manpower of the miners, Wang Wenjin will soon be able to raise a powerful army.

    The mere Wuzhou city cannot stop it.

    As a person of later generations, Huang Mingyuan remembers that Yang Guang personally quelled thieves in Wuzhou in history. It should be this civil unrest.  Even Yang Guang came. You can imagine how big the scale was. At least Wuzhou City should have fallen.

    Huang Mingyuan looked down at the map, thinking about possible reinforcements one after another.  In the Wuyue area, there were not many soldiers who could fight. The saint had previously mobilized 300,000 people to conquer Liao, so Huang Mingyuan didn't have many people to rely on.

    Suddenly, he saw a place on the map and thought of the Sui general who was leading the army here.  Huang Mingyuan slapped his big hand on the table. It's you, Zhang Xutuo, who suppressed bandits in Kuozhou.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
