"This, how is this possible! What exactly happened? How did Zhou Zhenguang's men occupy Beidaoguankou?!" General Wei roared in fury, clenching his fist and slamming it into the ground.
He had lived most of his life and had never felt so frustrated and angry.
It was clearly a pre-arranged trap.
Zhou Zhenguang, who has already joined the fray, has arrived.
But at this crucial moment, he failed to receive the message, which resulted in the official information being stolen!
How can we tolerate this!
"Ha ha ha ha--"
"Hahaha!!"
General Wei was in pain, which made General Yunhui, who was tied up and thrown on the ground, happy. He coughed up blood and laughed loudly.
Hearing that sudden burst of laughter.
General Wei suddenly looked up, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
He rushed forward, grabbed Yun Hui by the neck, and roared, "Laugh! You still dare to laugh!"
"You conspired with Zhou Zhenguang to rebel, so tell me, what exactly is that weapon? And how did Zhou Cheng, that spoiled brat, manage to leave the capital alive? Tell me!"
If Yun Hui weren't still of some use, General Wei would have loved to stab him to death.
But how could Yun Hui know?
He was more shocked than anyone else.
After the initial shock came excitement and ecstasy.
Yun Hui seemed to have heard some unbelievable news. His dull eyes suddenly blazed with a soul-stirring light. He coughed and laughed wildly, "So, it really is true..."
"Haha, I misunderstood him?"
"It turns out that Zhou Zhenguang never gave up on the army."
"Zhou Cheng... Zhou Cheng is truly the hope of Jiangling City! He's here! He actually came to the border! Hahaha!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong!!"
This moment.
Guilt and remorse enveloped Yun Hui; he shouldn't have said those hurtful things to Zhou Zhenguang.
He shouldn't have led more than 20,000 soldiers out of Jiangling City to try and survive, but in the end they didn't succeed and were instead besieged by the imperial general Wei.
I really regret it!
Seeing Yun Hui's frenzied state, General Wei was furious and kicked Yun Hui hard.
Now that the official passes of the northern route have been occupied, and that brat Zhou Cheng has silently produced some deadly weapon, there's no point in going back now.
"All men, listen to my command! The entire army will be divided into two teams. One team will lead these ten thousand traitors to Dongdaoguankou to meet up with Deputy General Zhang!"
"One team will head to the town near Guankou in the north. If they discover that Zhou Zhenguang has sent people to transport grain, they will make sure that the people do not return!"
"I want to see just how powerful Zhou Cheng's weapon really is!"
"I refuse to believe that without food or winter supplies, the more than 100,000 people in Jiangling City can fight their way out with those so-called deadly weapons! Ha! Just wait and see!"
From then on,
Yun Hui and more than 10,000 soldiers became prisoners.
It became a tool used afterward to threaten Zhou Zhenguang into surrendering.
General Wei was convinced that Zhou Zhenguang would definitely send people to transport grain to nearby towns, and that as long as the imperial army surrounded Jiangling City, they could wear down Zhou Zhenguang and his men to death inside the city.
pity,
We're going to disappoint them.
The 20,000 soldiers at the northern border post have shaken off their previous dejection. They are eating well, dressing well, sleeping well, and are full of energy.
The more than 70,000 troops stationed in Jiangling City will also be reborn.
"I wonder how General Zhou and the others are doing? The sudden withdrawal of troops from Beidaoguankou last night was obviously a trap, but given the current situation, there is no other choice."
"I hope... I hope there will be good news."
The middle-aged general leading the troops spoke with such anticipation, but deep down he knew very well that Zhou Zhenguang was unlikely to return.
