Chapter 48: The Blood of the White Tiger (4)

At this moment, scattered sounds of fighting could be heard everywhere in Jianye City.

what does that mean?

The people had already hid in their homes, closed their doors and windows, and secretly looked at the fighting in the distance uneasily, completely confused.

"The second young master must have been deceived by the old thief Liu Yao!"

General Han Dang did not agree with Ji Shu's speculation. He would rather believe that Ji Shu would rebel than Sun Quan. After all, he had watched Sun Quan grow up.

But the abnormal mobilization of soldiers and horses in Jianye City made him understand what had really happened. Ji Shu was right about this. I am afraid that only Liu Yao could do this.

"Liu Yao, this old man, is so ungrateful! After my lord conquered Moling, not only did he not kill him, but I trusted him so much that I didn't expect that he would harm my lord instead."

Ji Shu ignored Han Dang's scolding and angry remarks. He was secretly glad that Han Dang was finally persuaded by him. You must know that when he mentioned that Sun Quan colluded with Liu Yao to rebel, Han Dang slammed the table and almost got up to fight.

He did.

"Prepare to impact!"

After vaguely seeing the west city gate, Ji Shu ordered the Tiger Roar Camp to start speeding up.

"Stop everyone! Which general is going to lead the troops out of the city?"

The soldiers at the city gate shouted to the approaching Tiger Roaring Battalion.

"stop!"

The Tiger Roaring Camp stopped abruptly two hundred meters away, and Han Dang and Xu Sheng looked at Ji Shu in confusion.

Ji Shu didn't speak. He heard some other messages from this shouting.

He originally thought that when they appeared at the city gate, they would be greeted by a hail of arrows, but he didn't expect that they would just be greeted with a question.

He suddenly understood, was it possible for all the soldiers to know about such a big thing as rebellion?

What should I do if some people are unwilling to rebel? Kill them? Wouldn't it be suspicious to have so many people disappear all at once? The best way is to only know about it to a few core people, and at most to their cronies.

Thousands of people may not be able to keep a secret, but a few dozen people can handle it much easier. Military orders are like mountains, and the people below should obey them.

This also convinced Ji Shu that Sun Quan must have been involved in this matter. If Liu Yao rebelled, he would definitely collude with the aristocratic family and directly carry out a killing spree in Jianye City.

But now Sun Quan is standing still and acting secretly. He clearly wants to rely on the noble family to get rid of Sun Ce.

In this way, he would not have to bear the infamy and could successfully take over Jiangdong.

Ji Shu was a little excited, Fu Er said a few words to Xu Sheng, walked to the front of the team and shouted.

"I am the military advisor and general Ji Shu. I have received news that the Jiangdong family has colluded with some scum in the army to rebel. I am about to lead the Huxiao battalion out of the city to put down the rebellion. Whose order do you have? How dare you stop me from leaving the city!"

There was a small commotion at the city gate, and then a soldier replied: "Your Majesty, we have received an order from the Second Young Master to close the city gate and no one is allowed in or out."

At this time, an officer appeared on the city tower and said: "Sir, the city gate is closed now. No one can leave the city without the Lord's order. You'd better please go back."

Shifting his gaze to the tower, Ji Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Presumptuous!"

"Some scum betrayed the lord's whereabouts to the noble family. Now the noble family has rebelled and is hunting the lord! If you are a little late, the consequences will be disastrous. Can you bear this responsibility?"

Ignoring the vacillation of his subordinates, the officer smiled coldly, shook his head and said, "Sir, this subordinate is just doing his job. Military orders are like a mountain and cannot be changed. If you want to go out, please go to Mr. Sun Quan and get the warrant."

Ji Shu said angrily: "You are so brave!"

"Although the second son is the younger brother of the lord, he has no military position and is only an aide of the prefecture. When the lord and Captain Zhou Yu are away, as a military advisor and general, I can take charge of the military in Jiangdong!"

"You actually used the guise of the Second Young Master to prevent me from leaving the city. Could it be that you also took advantage of the family and wanted to harm the lord?"

What a big hat!

Looking around, he saw his subordinates all looking over with doubtful expressions, and the officer also panicked a little.

"Sir, please don't talk nonsense. I'm just following orders. The city is in chaos right now, and we can't tell who is rebelling. As the Second Young Master..."

"Whoosh!" There was an arrow cry, and the officer was speechless. He opened his mouth wide and looked desperately at the arrow feathers exposed at his throat.

Xu Sheng behind him slowly put down his bow and arrow, and Ji Shu continued to shout: "This man colluded with the aristocratic family and intended to murder the lord. I have executed him on the spot! Open the city gate immediately, otherwise the lord is ill, and you will all be punished with death!"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they hesitated for a while.

"Kaicheng! Kaicheng!"

The west city gate slowly opened.

······

However, Sun Ce's situation was extremely bad at this moment.

After contacting the family's private soldiers, Sun Ce's position was exposed to the family's eyes.

"Lord, shall we take the new road from Jianye to Wuhu?"

Before reaching the next fork in the road, Zhou Tai asked Sun Ce.

"no!"

Sun Ce knew that Zhou Tai meant which way was faster.

But precisely because this new road is easy to walk, it is impossible for the family to be unprepared. I am afraid that this is where they will set up defenses first. With his current few soldiers and horses and such a bad physical condition, Sun Ce is not sure.

"Go the old way."

Although the old road is difficult to walk and has twists and turns, the dense environment also provides cover. The fewer people there are, the higher the concealment. Moreover, unlike the new road, the old road has been used for so many years and has many branches opened for convenience.

As long as the new road is blocked by roadblocks, they may have to abandon their horses and climb the mountain. Then they will be surrounded by tens of thousands of people and die without a place to die. However, the old road has too many branches and it is impossible to go here. There are other ways.

As long as you find a weak level, you can force your way through it. There may even be small paths where the family has not had time to arrange manpower.

"Over there, chase!"

On the other side of the fork in the road, there were people from aristocratic families chasing after them, and they blocked the new road.

Looking at this posture, the card set-up has almost reached the fork in the road. I'm afraid there are quite a few people arranged there.

This was the third wave of enemies Sun Ce encountered. Although they could not outrun his four legs with two legs, the aristocratic family was not without horses, especially the "cavalry" of the aristocratic family must have been arranged in the direction of the new road.

Sun Ce felt a little anxious in his heart. He felt that a huge net was slowly tightening. Many, many enemies were surrounding him little by little.

"shoot!"
