The drug only lasts for about 7 hours, but 7 hours is enough for the Xiliang soldiers to enter Hanyu Pass and then disappear under everyone's noses.
The next day, when all the soldiers woke up with headaches, Chen Li was still secretly rejoicing. Aside from his personal guards, no one saw him let the Xiliang soldiers in.
If His Royal Highness Prince Li's rebellion fails, this matter will not be traced back to him. But if His Royal Highness Prince Li succeeds, then he will be a great hero.
Just when Chen Li was secretly rejoicing, the ever-victorious General Guo Changsheng arrived at Hanyu Pass with 50,000 cavalry.
Chen Li was startled and hurried down to the checkpoint to greet him.
But just as he approached Guo Changsheng with a smile on his face and before he could even say a word of greeting, he heard Guo Changsheng on horseback say, "Come here, capture this traitor Chen Li for me!"
Chen Li was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he was tied up.
"General Guo, I am the deputy commander of Hanyu Pass. What gives you the right to kidnap me?"
Ge Fengren, the deputy general guarding Hanyu Pass, was equally puzzled and asked, "General Guo, we're all acquaintances. Why did you kidnap someone right after arriving? General Chen is a nice guy! He's been diligently leading the defense of the city since General Pei left. What did he do wrong?"
When Chen Li was speaking, Guo Changsheng still had that arrogant, stern-faced look on his face, but when Ge Fengren spoke, Guo Changsheng's expression immediately changed.
He ignored Chen Li and walked straight to Ge Fengren, then stretched out his big hand and hit him on the head with a "bang".
"You! What did General Pei say to you when he left?"
Ge Fengren was stunned, scratched his head, and replied: "When the general left, he asked me to guard the city well!"
"Then did you defend the city well?" Guo Changsheng asked with a dark face.
"Of course! We work non-stop for 12 hours, in three shifts!"
“Take turns!”
"Ah—what did you hit me for?"
Ge Fengren was Guo Changsheng's former subordinate, and now that he had seen his former boss, a few blows wasn't a big deal; it actually represented a sign of their closeness. However, having spent so much time with Chen Li, the comrades had developed feelings for each other, so seeing Chen Li being captured made him anxious.
"I'm beating you up, you clueless bastard! You're really bringing shame to me!"
"How did I bring shame upon you? Did soldiers from Xiliang break in? Seriously!"
"Hey! You are really self-aware. You can even guess this!" Guo Changsheng said with a forced smile.
"Huh?" Ge Fengren and the soldiers beside him were stunned. They all denied it, saying, "Impossible! We have been defending here the whole time. How did the Xiliang army get in? Could they have dug a dog hole to get in?"
"Well, I'll have to ask General Chen next to you!" Guo Changsheng looked at Chen Li, whose face was ashen, and asked, "General Chen, tell your brothers how you let in 500,000 Xiliang troops!"
"shrimp……"
After hearing this, Ge Fengren's legs went weak and he fell to the ground. The other Hanyu Pass generals were also seriously shocked after hearing this.
500,000 Xiliang troops? 500,000! They had slipped in right under their noses and they had no idea?
"Was it last night?"
Thinking about how I was so sleepy last night that I fell asleep very early,
