As Xu Lang expected, some of the sergeants were taken away by the defenders of Yuezhou City because of their accent problems or poor concealment.
"General, how can these people be punished?"
A general pointed at the sergeant who was being held in Yuezhou Prison and asked Li Ziyu.
"This boy named Xu actually went to Chencang secretly. Humph, why should I be afraid of him? By the way, won't they say anything?"
Li Ziyu said disdainfully, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
"These people are very tough and won't fight no matter how hard they fight."
The general told the truth, his expression was filled with admiration and helplessness.
"Can't you tell, this guy named Xu is really good at running an army!"
Li Ziyu nodded in praise, which he truly admired. The initial contempt for this young man was immediately restrained.
"However, since these people have entered the city, I guess there must be other accomplices in the city. They just came to explore the way first. According to the report from the scouts, it will take a day or two for their army to reach here. , by the time they arrive, Yuezhou will already be impregnable."
Li Ziyu added that in fact, he had been strengthening the defense in the past few days. Now, just waiting for Xu Lang to meet him!
"The general is wise!"
The general could only praise him. In any era, he must seize the opportunity to flatter someone.
"Okay, lock them here first so they don't starve to death. In this way, you immediately lead two thousand troops and search the whole city to make sure their accomplices have nowhere to hide."
Li Ziyu waved his hand and gave the order.
You, Xu Lang, want to cross Chencang secretly, let me see how capable you are?
After saying that, Li Ziyu walked out of the prison holding his sword.
As he walked, he thought, this trial was actually nothing. These people have such hard bones that they won’t say anything even if they are beaten to death. In this case, it is better to use your brain to find a solution. To put it bluntly, the purpose of sneaking into the city is to explore the reality of the city. The purpose is obvious.
By the way, all the troops from Junshan and Yuezhou have been withdrawn. These people can enter the city. Is it possible that Xu Lang's forward troops are hiding near Junshan?
Li Ziyu suddenly thought of this and was shocked.
Because, having practiced martial arts for many years, he could clearly see that these sergeants were serious characters coming out of the military camp. Such a character is not good at spying. That doesn't mean that it is very likely that Xu Lang's forward has already arrived outside Yuezhou City. According to his observation, judging from where these people came from, Junshan was an excellent hiding place.
"Come here, invite my senior brother Chu!"
Thinking of this, Li Ziyu quickly gave orders to his men.
Not long after, in the study room of the general's residence, a man dressed as a Taoist priest was sitting opposite Li Ziyu.
"Senior brother, I have something wrong, please help me!"
Li Ziyu bowed her hand to Senior Brother Chu across from him.
"Ziyu, what could make a general like you panic?"
Senior Brother Chu didn't care.
"Well, I won't beat around the bush anymore. Within two days, Yuezhou City will suppress the army. Although I am not talented, I still have the determination to protect the people of Yuezhou from being invaded. However, there is something very difficult to handle at this time. After much thought, I am afraid that only Senior Brother Chu can help me."
Having said this, Li Ziyu looked at Senior Brother Chu eagerly.
"The army is approaching? Where is the army?"
Obviously, Senior Brother Chu is not very clear about the current situation.
"This, senior brother, I can't tell clearly at this moment. In short, the person who came here is not good. What I want my senior brother to help me is to cross the Dongting at night and go to Junshan to see if there are any enemy troops lurking. With my senior brother's martial arts, this matter , it will definitely work.”
Li Ziyu didn't want to make it too clear. After seeing the soldiers in the prison, he was afraid that if he sent ordinary people there, they would be easily discovered. But with someone with strong martial arts skills like Senior Brother Chu to handle it, this matter would be absolutely foolproof.
