Chapter 26 Hidden murderous intent

"well……"

A deep sigh appeared in the city lord's palace in Shouyuan City.

In the room, Han He, the highest official of the Shouguan Army, was sitting behind a few desks with a dull expression on his face. At this moment, he was holding the battle report from the front line in his hand.

The battle report was quietly written down between the fingers and landed on the table in front of Han He.

After looking at the fallen battle report, and then at Han He, who was staring blankly at the moment, the two Han He confidants standing in the room looked at each other again, and a sense of helplessness slowly emerged from the hearts of the two of them.

Time passed in the silence of the room for a long time. Seeing that it would not be a problem to drag on like this, one of the confidants slowly took a step forward.

"My lord, your lord..."

The call from his confidant pulled Han He in front of him out of his thoughts. When he came back to his senses, he picked up the battle report from the front line again.

While his eyes were wandering above, he heard Han He murmuring to himself: "Nie Yi, Nie Yi, don't you promise me that you will make the Wei army withdraw from Pingqiu."

"How come you haven't even reached Pingqiu yet, and you were stopped by the Wei army halfway..."

Listening to Han He's pessimistic and somewhat complaining words, another confidant knew that he should stand up, otherwise Han He would probably fall into the same state just now.

Suddenly he took a step forward and heard this confidant say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Wei army is about to attack the city. We, Shouyuan City, need to make plans early."

"Plan? How to plan? All my generals in the first wall were captured by the Wei army, and I'm not good at fighting..."

Although his words were full of pessimism, Han He was still the highest official in the city after all. His expression became solemn and his whole temperament revived.

"Since the situation is no longer conducive to our army, we will issue an order to close the city gates from now on, and no one will be allowed to enter or exit."

"In addition, the soldiers guarding the city are ordered to strengthen their vigilance. The Wei army may attack the city at any time."

"Here."

After this confidant bowed and bowed, he quickly left the room, but another confidant came to Han He again.

"What else?"

A look of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he heard this confidant say in a deep voice: "Although General Nie Yi has been captured by the Wei army, many of our soldiers still escaped by chance. I wonder what should be done with these people?"

When his confidants mentioned the soldiers who had escaped from the front line, Han He's first reaction was to kill them all, but he soon gave up this idea.

When he thought that these soldiers did not die in the hands of the enemy, but in his own hands, Han He felt a little unbearable;

Secondly, he also considered that if he killed so many soldiers easily, it might cause a big disturbance in the army.

If it is not handled well, the capital city under his rule will not need the Wei army to fight, and he will be in chaos first.

After thinking about it, Han He called his confidant to his side and said, "After all, these soldiers are fighting for our country, South Korea. Bringing news from the front can be considered a meritorious service."

"Prepare a separate camp for these soldiers who have escaped from the front line, prepare fine wine and food, and treat them well. But tell these soldiers that no one is allowed to step out of the camp without my order."

"Here."

Just when this confidant accepted the order and was about to leave, a deep inquiry from Han He came from behind.

"Is there any news from Pingqiu?"

Upon hearing this question, the confidant turned around without any intention of answering.

Looking at the appearance of the central figure in the field of vision, Han He didn't know that Pingqiu was facing the offensive of the Wei army and there had been no news for a long time. It must be very bad.

"Go for it!"

After giving a helpless order, Han He saw his confidant disappear from sight, and a feeling of sadness suddenly appeared in his heart.



Compared to the loneliness in the study room in the city lord's backyard, a camp in Shouyuan City was filled with a lively atmosphere.

Originally, those Korean soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the battlefield thought that they would inevitably be treated harshly after returning to Shouyuan.

What they didn't expect was that not only did the superiors not punish them, they also prepared separate camps and jars of wine for them.

With all this, what does the restriction about not leaving the camp without an order mean?

When jar after jar of wine was unloaded from the carriage, the entire camp was in a boil.

Afterwards, most people in the camp drank bowl after bowl of wine, as if they wanted to use this method to completely forget the bad memories on the battlefield.

But under such madness, a soldier's eyes shone with a different light.

He turned around quietly and nodded gently to a colleague not far away who also had a strange look on his face. An inexplicable look appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, a wine bowl appeared in front of him, along with a greeting from his companion.

"What are you looking at? Come and drink!"

Looking at his companion who looked a little drunk and full of alcohol, the soldier naturally raised the wine bowl in his hand.

"Come on, do it!"

The full amount of wine spilled a little when the two wine bowls collided, but neither of them took it to heart and drank all the wine in the bowl.

At this moment, the strangeness seemed to disappear from the soldier's eyes, and only the madness of drinking with his companions remained on his face.

This madness continued until darkness gradually enveloped the earth, and the Korean soldiers, already drunk on wine, began to return to their respective camps in twos and threes.

"Huhuhu..."

The night grew darker as time went by, but the hustle and bustle in the camp slowly returned to calm, and bursts of snoring from the soldiers began to become the main theme of the camp.

The snoring had been sounding for who knows how long, but a burst of light footsteps suddenly appeared in the camp.

At this moment, outside the gate of this camp, several Korean soldiers holding long swords were staring at the endless darkness around them.

These soldiers were ordered to station here in order to restrict the soldiers among them and prevent them from entering and exiting the camp at will.

When they were first stationed here, these Korean soldiers could still maintain some vigilance.

It's just that nothing unusual happened at all, and as the night progressed, sleepiness and fatigue inevitably appeared.

"ha……"

When a yawn came out of his mouth, the Korean soldier felt a sharp pain suddenly appear behind him.

The fatigue all over his body completely disappeared at this moment, and the fatigue on his face had turned into fear.

Just when the Korean soldier realized that something was wrong and wanted to do something, he realized that his mouth had been tightly covered by the enemy coming from behind.

After a period of extremely fierce struggle, the Korean soldier finally failed to break free, and finally he collapsed helplessly.

When his consciousness gradually became blurred, the Korean soldier glanced to his side and saw that his comrades with him had also fallen down.

After completing all this neatly, several soldiers who were also wearing Korean armor looked at each other in tacit understanding.

"Act according to the second strategy!"

"clear!"
Chapter completed!
