The prefect dared not hesitate and immediately summoned his yamen runners to rush to the city gate.
In addition, an urgent order was issued for the defending army to assemble quickly and prepare to fight the enemy.
Luzhou City is currently completely undefended, and the number of troops they can send to defend the city is pitifully small.
How could I not panic?
Once on the city wall, the prefect could see the large army below from afar, standing there ramrod straight.
Each one exudes a majestic and imposing aura.
This terrifying aura, even in the dim light of dusk, made the prefect even more flustered.
They just stood there, yet they exuded an invisible sense of oppression.
"Are they really human?"
The prefect asked the people around him, his voice trembling.
The prefect has been in Luzhou City for many years, a place because of its proximity to Dasanguan Pass.
It has always been very safe, with bandits appearing only a few times. But now, a large army is pressing in.
He had never encountered such a scene before.
The prison warden was a military officer, and he rushed over as soon as he received the news.
Although he had never fought in a war, Wang Yuanning had served in the army, so he had some experience and tried his best to keep his eyes wide open to see what was happening below.
"Your Excellency, they are not ghosts, but people. And look, Your Excellency, they are very imposing. Although they give us a strong sense of oppression, they do not seem to have any intention of making a move."
"And their general looks somewhat familiar to me."
"Yes, it does look somewhat familiar."
The prefect hurriedly looked ahead, but the sky was already dark, and he couldn't see very clearly.
Warden Wang Yuanning hurriedly moved to a closer spot, and upon looking over, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Your Excellency, he looks a lot like General Liu to me."
Wang Yuanning mustered up her courage and asked.
"Below the city walls, below the city walls is General Liu."
It took you so long to recognize me?
Liu Feng sneered.
"Exactly."
Hearing that familiar voice, scenes from the past began to flash through my mind.
The prefect and Wang Yuanning, the prison warden, were both taken aback.
"General Liu, you are leading the Tiger Roar Army."
"Indeed, my Tiger Roar Army has five hundred infantrymen."
"hiss."
Prison Warden Wang Yuanning gasped.
At this time, the four captains guarding Luzhou City, led by the city's general, had already reached the city wall.
He huddled close to Wang Yuanning, looking down at the city walls.
"General Liu, as we all know, the Tiger Roar Army is stationed in Youzhou to defend against the northern barbarians. I wonder what brings you here with your army?"
"Seeking justice, committing murder and arson."
When Liu Yuan opened his mouth, it exuded a powerful aura.
The crowd on the city wall felt a chill run down their spines, realizing something was wrong.
"Seeking justice" means that his people were wronged in Luzhou City, and wronged badly at that; otherwise, Liu Feng wouldn't have needed to personally lead a large army to seek justice.
This illustrates a point from another angle.
That's because he, the prefect, didn't do his job well.
The prefect was completely panicked; he never expected that the attack was aimed at him.
As for murder and arson, that's not the prefect's business. If the goal is to stop Liu Feng from causing trouble in Luzhou City, then the city's garrison will have to be reduced.
But who were those people below the city? They were the Tiger Roar Army, who had wiped out seventeen generals of the Northern Barbarians with just three men.
How could the poorly trained and poorly equipped garrison in Luzhou City possibly stand up to the enemy?
How can we compete with them like this?
"General Liu, I'm innocent!"
“Our Luzhou City is now also where General Liu does business.”
"We haven't offended General Liu."
"Please explain what exactly happened, General Liu."
"Your army is pressing in with such a large force, causing panic among the people in the city. Even we are quite frightened."
Having confirmed that it was indeed Liu Feng, the prefect, though flustered, was now at ease.
As long as they're not enemy troops.
He immediately stood on the city wall and asked loudly.
"Your Excellency, you are doing a great job as a local official."
“There are people in your Luzhou City who have killed the escort teams under my Tiger Roar Army and robbed almost all of the Tiger Roar Army’s military supplies.”
"With witnesses and physical evidence, shouldn't the Prefect give me an explanation?"
The prefect was taken aback.
I never expected something so big to happen.
Looting the army's supplies is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family. Who was so blind as to provoke Liu Yuan, such a killing god?
"Alright, since the Prefect can't make the decision, then I'll have to make it myself."
“If the prefect won’t give me this justice, then I’ll give it to him myself.”
At this moment, the prefect truly felt like killing someone.
These fools, stealing Liu Feng's supplies and killing his people, aren't they just asking for trouble?
"General Liu, let's talk this out. Let the brothers rest first. We'll go into the city for tea. There's no problem that can't be solved."
"Let's all get along amicably, and I will definitely give General Liu a satisfactory answer."
"Open the city gate, I want to enter the city."
"I know how to handle it."
"If the Prefect really wants to give me justice, then fine, I'll give the Prefect a chance."
"However, I have to decide how it's done."
Upon hearing that Liu Feng had given him a chance to salvage the situation, the prefect was overjoyed; it was good that there was still room for reconciliation.
